Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 600 "599" The real estate developers were furious and the whole of Hong Kong was discussing it!
At this time, a reporter stood up.

"Mr. Guan, will the move of 'banning the common area' cause a shock to the real estate industry?"

"Shock?"

Guan Zu laughed and said, "The hospital has the most say on this issue. If a patient is sick, will they not seek treatment just because the injection will hurt and cost money?"

"When developers use 'common areas' to cover up the real housing prices, and when owners pay property fees for elevator shafts for decades, this is a disease in the real estate industry!"

"Since you are sick, you need treatment!"

A reporter asked: "What is Mr. Guan's specific plan?"

Guan Zu: "It's very simple! After the public area is cancelled, the housing price will be calculated based on the actual usable area of ​​the unit, and all construction costs must be transparently disclosed to give the citizens the greatest benefits!"

Finally, Guan Zu announced: "The day after tomorrow, which is Tuesday, during the Legislative Council's weekly meeting, I will formally submit this "Hong Kong Island Building Area Transparency Ordinance" motion to the Legislative Council."

“We strive to let the Hong Kong property market say goodbye to the ‘common area fog’ as soon as possible!”

Kakaka~~~
The camera freezes.

After the press conference, many reporters left.

……

……

Time flies and it's noon.

ATV and TVB officially broadcast today's noon news.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the midday news..."

"Everyone should still remember the environmental problems in Shatin District that Mr. Guan Zu was concerned about two years ago. There was a terrible stench and black pollution everywhere..."

"At that time, Mr. Guan Zu started a "pollution cleanup project" and invested more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars..."

"Two years have passed. Has the Sha Tin area changed at all? Please follow our camera and take a look at the Sha Tin Canal today..."

Lens,

Concentrated on the dams and canals along the canal...

The riverbanks are lined with trees.

The river water sparkles,

From time to time, there are residents passing by, and you can also meet citizens fishing...

"We interviewed a lot of citizens to see what they said..."

Citizen 1: "Of course I have to thank Mr. Guan. We didn't dare to get close to the river before..."

Citizen 2: "The water quality is much better now, and there is no odor anymore, thanks to the Five Star Group..."

Citizen 3: “…”

Praises one after another.

Then the camera turned to the opening scene and Guan Zu's speech:
"I don't need to brag about the quality of the property. You can tell by looking at the river...Five Star Group runs a business with conscience!"

Not only ATV is praising Guan Zu, even TVB has started praising Guan Zu.

It’s so exciting!
Many TVB viewers listen to TVB News just because they don't like Guan Zu.

As a result, TVB also started praising Guan Zu?
These audiences: “…………”

Okay, okay, even you, TVB, have rebelled!

As the two TV stations blew the whistle,
Everyone in Hong Kong knows that the first property project of Five Star Group has been launched.

Is this a real estate advertisement?
No, this is a Shatin advertisement!

Next,
ATV and TVB started broadcasting the second news.

"At the same time, at the launch of Five Star Flower City Bay in Shatin, Legislative Council member Guan Zu publicly criticized the long-standing malpractice of the common area in the real estate industry..."

"And announced that the Hong Kong Island Building Area Transparency Ordinance will be submitted to the Legislative Council tomorrow, with the aim of prohibiting the use of common areas..."

"And the Five Star Flower City Bay that opened today has no common area. You get what you buy!"

……

In a tea restaurant in Mong Kok,
Bang~~~
An old man slammed the table excitedly:

"Great! The common area will finally be banned!"

“When you buy a property in the future, you no longer have to pay for the area of ​​the corridor!”

"When I bought the apartment, the common area was bigger than my bedroom. I paid a lot of money for nothing in my lifetime!"

The same scene happened all over Hong Kong.

It caused strong reaction among citizens.

The world has long hated shared space.

……

……

Mega Group.

In the high-end dining hall, this is where the senior executives of Zhaoye Group have their meals.

At noon, Boss Li Ji was here, eating a steak.

On the bone china plate, he was cutting the medium-rare Wagyu beef into pieces.

There was a small glass of Portuguese red wine on the side.

Suddenly, the news on the TV on the wall made Boss Li Ji's hand holding the dinner knife freeze.

Ding-dang~~~a sound!
The knife fell onto the plate.

Boss Li Ji stared at the TV with a grim expression.

Suddenly he grabbed the wine glass and threw it at the TV. Bang! The wine glass broke into pieces and the wine splashed and smeared on the TV and the ground like blood.

The secretary was trembling with fear.

The other executives who were dining nearby and chatting were so frightened that they dared not breathe.

"go back!"

Boss Li Ji stood up quickly, and his secretary trotted after him, holding a notebook.

Tap tap tap~~~
Boss Li Ji quickly came to the elevator, the door opened, he walked in, and his secretary quickly followed.

There was no one else in the elevator.

“How much inventory is left in City One Shatin?”

Shatin First City is the first super-large community in Shatin developed by four major families. The entire project was built from 1981 to 1988. It consists of 52 residential buildings and provides 10642 residential units.

There are three types of units in Shatin: four units per floor, six units per floor and eight units per floor, with unit construction areas ranging from 389 square feet to 1018 square feet.
The other three families had already sold out in the past few years.

Boss Li Ji is quite bold and has been holding on to the 14 buildings with more than 3000 units he owns and has not sold them.

According to the original history, he would hold on to it until the peak in 1996, then sell it, making a one-time profit of 400 billion, which would directly make him surpass Boss Li and become the richest man.

But now, because of Guan Zu's butterfly effect, his plan was blocked halfway!
When cheap houses appeared last year, he started selling them urgently. However, after nine months, he has only sold more than 9 units.

"Three days ago, I wrote down a piece of data: 1006 units have not been sold, boss!" said the secretary a little nervously.

Boss Li Ji's face suddenly darkened.

More than 1000 sets...

"Notify the finance department immediately! Calculate the loss after canceling the common area within three hours!"

Secretary: "Yes!"

At this time, the elevator arrived at his office floor. The moment the door opened, Boss Li Ji kicked the brass trash can that was blocking the way, and fragments flew everywhere.

Walking into the office,
Boss Li Ji then instructed: "Invite Boss Wu of Wharf Holdings, the Zheng family of New World, Boss Li of Cheung Kong, Mr. Huang of Singapore, and Mr. Guo of Malaysia... - tonight at 12 o'clock, Repulse Bay Mansion No. ... to have a meeting together..."

"All real estate developers must unite! We must not let Guan Zu's bill pass. Guan Zu is making an enemy of the real estate industry! We absolutely cannot let Guan Zu do whatever he wants and harm our interests."

"Yes, boss!"

……

……

That night.

Repulse Bay Residence No. 8.

Cars arrived one after another, and bosses of various real estate developers came one after another.

"(Singapore) Mr. Huang..."

"(Malay) Boss Guo (son)..."

"Boss Li..."

"Boss Wu..."

Soon, the bosses took their seats one after another on the sofas in the conference room.

All of them looked serious.

"Dear bosses..." Boss Li Ji went straight to the point.

"I invited everyone here today because Guan Zu has proposed a bill to ban the use of common areas, which will be submitted to the Legislative Council tomorrow."

"This is simply going to take away the cake of our entire real estate industry!"

"Yes, he is messing around!"

"If we follow his approach for the projects we have that have not yet been launched, the cost accounting will be completely messed up, and we will suffer direct losses of hundreds of millions or even billions!"

"That's right. The common area has existed for so many years and has always been an industry practice. Why can he change it just like that?"

"Who does Guan Zu think he is?"

Everyone was talking at once, accusing and expressing dissatisfaction with Guan Zu.

Among them is Mr. Wu from Hutchison Whampoa.

Although Boss Wu had cooperated with Guan Zu on the five-star supermarket in Harbour City, business was business. He was of course very dissatisfied with the cancellation of the common area, which caused him to suffer such a huge loss.

Zheng Daheng had a good personal relationship with Guan Zu, so although he felt uncomfortable, he did not express his opinion on the spot.

"Everyone!"

"We need to find a way to stop him. If you have any ideas, please share them."

Boss Li Ji suffered the greatest loss and was most anxious.

Mr. Huang of Sino Land: "I think we can start with public opinion. Don't forget, there are many people who own houses in Hong Kong. We can incite these people and tell them to cancel the public areas. It will definitely be difficult for them to sell their houses."

"That's a good idea!" Hang Lung's boss Chen slammed the table, "Let's find a few more 'experts' to make some comments and publish them in the newspaper."

"In addition to inciting public opinion, we cannot relax at the Legislative Council either. We should mobilize our connections and find those legislators who have a good relationship with us and ask them to vote against us in the parliament."

Everyone responded,

"Yes, we must work together to stop this proposal."

Finally, Boss Li Ji looked at Boss Zheng and said, "Brother Zheng, among all these people, you have always had a good relationship with Guan Zu and have made a lot of money with him, so you shouldn't leak the secret, right?"

Boss Zheng said seriously: "Boss Li and I have a good relationship, but I still have to short sell."

Boss Li: “…………”

Boss Zheng: "Everyone can rest assured, there are no brothers in the business world, let alone friends. This time, Guan Zu really went too far."

"it is good!"

Everyone applauded.

Malaysian Mr. Guo raised his glass: "Cheers to Boss Zheng!"

Others raised their glasses: "Cheers to Boss Guo!"

"Work together!"

"Work together!"

Next, everyone began to discuss the specific operational details.

1 hours later,

End of the meeting.

Everyone left the club.

……

……

At Guan Zu's home,

Guan Zu and the other two were sitting on the sofa, watching the TV series "Zombie Date".

One on the left and one on the right.

Hug left and right.

Nowadays, "Zombie Date" is extremely popular, and even the rebroadcast ratings are as high as 50%.

Ring ring ring~~~
Guan Zu answered the phone: "Hello?"

Mr. Huang from Singapore: "Mr. Guan, it's me..."

"Hahaha, Mr. Huang, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Mr. Guan, I attended a private meeting tonight... I think I should tell you what it was about..."

He recounted what happened in the guild hall tonight.

He is an outsider, so it is crucial to distinguish between the big and small kings.

And Guan Zu is the king of Hong Kong Island!
The other bosses...ha, none of them are Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang is Fat Peng.

Guan Zu: "I already know about this, but thank you very much for your friendly notification, Mr. Huang. I will remember this favor."

Mr. Huang was surprised: "Mr. Guan, you know?"

Guan Zu: "Yes, your friend (Malaysian) Guo Gongzi called me 2 minutes ago."

Mr. Huang: “…………”

6!

We agreed to work together to fight against Guan Zu, but you ended up snitching on us?
What about integrity?
Fortunately, me too!

Jiejiejie~~~~
Make a big villain laugh.jpg
Guan Zu hung up the phone with a playful look in his eyes.

Next,
He began to wait for Boss Zheng's call... If Boss Zheng didn't call, then the two sides would part ways. Of course, this doesn't mean that Boss Zheng is a bad person, at most they just have different ideas, and next time they do business, they will talk business and do it by their own means.

And if Boss Zheng calls me tonight, we can still be friends in the future and I can take him to make money together.

Why did Guan Zu promote the "ban on common areas"?
Although it will harm the financial interests of existing owners, it will be of great benefit to future homebuyers.

The pain is temporary, but the benefits will last forever.

Especially in the mainland, real estate companies do not learn the good things, but learn the bad things. They only learn the tricky operations of Hong Kong Island, and even do them even more outrageously, making mainland home buyers so angry that they curse the developers' ancestors for eighteen generations.

Curse every day, curse every year.

The developer swallowed the insult and happily counted his money.

conscience?

How much is it worth!

Guan Zu just disdains this kind of money-seeking behavior.

Fuck them!
……

……

A new day, Monday.

The "ban on common areas" motion strongly promoted by Guan Zu was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves and dominating the headlines of major newspapers across Hong Kong.

In the United Daily News, an editorial was sharply worded and clearly opposed to the motion:

"Canceling the public area may seem to benefit the citizens, but in fact it will severely impact the already fragile real estate market. The construction and maintenance costs of public areas will lose their reasonable sharing channels, developers' profits will be compressed, and new projects will inevitably be reduced, housing supply will be scarce, and the ultimate victims will still be the majority of home buyers."

In response, the South China Morning Post also published an article analyzing that this move would disrupt the existing ecological balance of the real estate market, trigger a series of chain reactions, and plunge the market into chaos and disorder.

However, Oriental Daily News supported Guan Zu in a large article on its front page: "The common area is a space that people pay a high fee for that they cannot see or touch. Councillor Guan's bill is a sharp blade that will pierce the chaos in the property market. It will give citizens a fair and transparent housing purchase environment and truly achieve 'what you buy is what you get'."

Then, based on international experience, it cited examples of Singapore, Australia and other places where the real estate market has developed in a healthy way after the cancellation of common areas, and called on the Hong Kong government to follow public opinion and promote reform.

The fierce clash of pros and cons, with each side holding its own opinion, sparked heated discussions among the citizens.

In the office building, white-collar workers gathered in the tea room, expressing their opinions on the news in the newspapers in their hands;
In a streetside tea restaurant, diners were arguing over newspapers while drinking their morning tea.

Hotly discussed across Hong Kong!

Hotly discussed all day!

Because the argument was so intense, news like "Five-Star Flower City Bay sold 76% in one day" did not cause any waves.

Because of the heated discussion,

Therefore, tomorrow (Tuesday), at the regular weekly meeting of the Legislative Council, what Guan Zu said about submitting the "Hong Kong Island Building Area Transparency Ordinance" bill has become the focus of attention of the entire Hong Kong.

……

……

The next day, Tuesday, the sun was shining.

Legislative Council Building.

At around eight o'clock today, before the Legislative Council started work, a large number of reporters had already gathered outside the building.

You can even see a large number of citizens, some holding up signs that read "Abolish the public area, give me back my hard-earned money", and some holding signs that read "The public area is reasonable, the community is optimized"...

TVB and ATV had already set up their live broadcast cameras and aimed them at the gate.

Now the eyes of the whole of Hong Kong are focused here.
