Hong Kong Movies: The Boss's Global Empire

Shark Dantong said: "Next year, the Hong Kong government will go to Good Omens to auction the highest-priced land. Do you think he will enter the market?" "He will definitely enter the market."

Li Laosi's expression suddenly darkened. "I heard Chinese Estates has been successfully privatized and is renovating its buildings." Everyone was stunned again. "Chinese Estates has been delisted?"

"That's right. Director Chen told me that the person in charge of this matter is Huang Shitong."

"These buildings owned by Chinese Estates are either in Wan Chai or Central. Based on the minimum plot ratio, they can be expanded at least fivefold." Li Laosi said, "How could someone who understands this not enter the real estate market?"

for a long time,

Hong Kong developers have a habitual choice when developing properties.

If you own real estate in Wan Chai or Central, you will generally only sell the residential property.

For example, shops and office buildings will be put in my hands to collect rent.

This is because the commercial rental returns in Wan Chai and Central are very high, with an average annual return of over 10%!

Lu Wendong first privatized Chinese Estates Holdings and then renovated the building on a large scale.

This is a common tactic used by real estate agents! He's an expert!

The crocodile's veil is being torn off bit by bit,

The group of people from the four major families who were originally chatting and laughing suddenly felt a chill in their chest.

There is a reason why Chinese tycoons suddenly turned to real estate. Hong Kong is a stone city.

The bottom of the mountain was all made of rocks. So in the earliest times,

The most common occupation in Hong Kong Island is stonemason.

For example, the Hakka people who first came to Hong Kong to settle down made a living by chipping stones.

Then they settled around the stone mines,

Gradually, it developed into villages and towns.

Hong Kong Island has almost no natural resources.

Even the foreigners back then were not interested in Hong Kong Island but Zhoushan. They had no other choice but to choose Hong Kong Island, a barren land.

The climate in this place is hot and humid, and the mosquitoes are bigger than fists.

Malaria and other diseases are always spreading... How can the foreigners develop this place?

It is just a trade transit port. For convenience,

And also engaged in many franchises,

For example, it was stipulated that Jardine Matheson and other foreign companies had a monopoly on opium, and the right to import and export was reserved for foreign companies.

Only business can be done between Chinese people.

Even so, a Nanbeihang emerged to outperform the foreign companies! From the very beginning,

There were not many industries available for Chinese people to choose from in Hong Kong Island. At that time,

Most of the Chinese hang out at the docks, and because of this,

So, various societies have emerged.

The Hong Kong Island today is entirely created by the white people. The transformation began in the 50s.

At that time, at least hundreds of thousands of people came to Hong Kong Island every year.

The ghost was caught off guard and unprepared.

Just let the Chinese fend for themselves, because of this,

There was a fire incident at Shisaowei that shocked the world, and tens of thousands of people were displaced.

The United Nations strongly condemned the Hong Kong government and Britain's inaction, forcing the Hong Kong government to start building public housing...

Who knows,

Public housing has become an important bargaining chip for stabilizing Hong Kong Island.

Logically speaking, the foreigners should turn around and develop real estate, but they think that these refugees will return sooner or later.

And those foreign companies also made the same judgment.

So they always insist on selling the entire building...

Hong Kong Island finally opened a window for Chinese tycoons.

At that time, some sharp-sighted people wanted to facilitate the sale of houses and to make it easier for those who came to Hong Kong Island to buy houses.

So we first came up with a tiered sales system.

Later, they felt that the stratified sales model was still not close enough to the market, so they came up with the public contract (common area).

in this way,

The Chinese were able to enter the real estate market.

And it has grown and developed over the past few decades.

Hong Kong Island's real estate market has developed entirely due to the inaction of the foreigners and the efforts of the Chinese.

For the Chinese,

Their only chance to break through the foreign barrier is in real estate! Lu Wendong knows this.

The four major families know this better.

Li Si suddenly said, "I heard that Overseas Trust Bank is also related to Mr. Lu?" "That's right."

Guo Desheng, the head of the Guo family, said, "There's more to it than that."

"Fa Zai told me that Overseas Trust Bank is in contact with Sun Hung Kai Properties and is planning to acquire it." This Fa Zai is certainly not some celestial being.

It was Feng Yongfa, the son of Feng Jingxi, an old friend of Guo Desheng and Li Si.

Guo Desheng, Feng Jingxi and Li Si jointly established Yongye Company, which was dedicated to real estate development.

The three of them later worked together to establish Sun Hung Kai Enterprises Limited, the predecessor of Sun Hung Kai Properties.

sixties,

Because the continent is turning upside down,

The first wave of immigration to Hong Kong occurred, and three people bought a large amount of land.

More than 20 buildings were built in three years.

The economy was improving at that time.

Sun Hung Kai made huge profits.

The three of them became the Three Swordsmen. However,

These days, we can share hardship but not wealth.

After Sun Hung Kai's recovery, the three of them continued to have conflicts.

So they simply split up the family.

Guo Desheng and Li Si continued to work in real estate and became one of the four major families.

Feng Jingxi, on the other hand, took control of the government and the bank, and was quite successful.

Li Si was stunned: "How come I don't know?"

Guo Desheng glanced at him and said, "You haven't visited Lao Feng for a long time." Li Si coughed and said, "I've been busy lately."

"The banking industry is crumbling, and this guy wants to acquire Sun Hung Kai. What's his real intention?" "He's courting his own destruction!"

Yan Jieqiang said this out of jealousy! He originally thought that Lu Wendong was just lucky.

But it was just a lucky escape.

The assets in Lu Wendong's hands made him look up to him! He couldn't stand it anymore!

Yan Jieqiang said, "This person is doing evil things. I think we should all put aside our prejudices and work together." "Otherwise."

Jealousy is jealousy,

But it doesn't mean Yan Jieqiang has lost his sight.

He said slowly, "In that case, he will definitely participate in the official land auction in the spring of next year."

"He's so wealthy and powerful. If he buys away all the good land, what will we do?"

They looked at each other, then fell silent. "Excuse me."

Li Huanggua, who had been silent all this time, suddenly brightened up his eyes and said, "Excuse me."

Then a foreigner walked over.

Li Si looked at it and said, "This guy Cucumber hasn't given up yet."

He explained, "The situation at Hutchison Whampoa is unstable. The group that Wei Li left behind has always wanted to take control, and the two sides are almost openly fighting." Sha Dantong said, "That's normal. His joining Hutchison Whampoa is clearly taking advantage of them, so they are naturally unhappy."

"It's only because Wei Li has some dignity. Otherwise, it would be interesting if he continued to stay in Hutchison."

Several people couldn't help but laugh.

Hong Kong Island is so small.

The amount of government land put up for auction each year is limited, and they are serious competitors.

If it weren't for Lu Wendong's arrogance,

These people would never get together. "Is it Ma Shimin?"

Guo Desheng said: "This guy has some tricks up his sleeve. Eh? It seems that Cucumber didn't get what he wanted."

It turned out that Li Huanggua went over to talk to Ma Shimin for a few words and then turned back. Seeing his sullen look,

Naturally, he was met with disapproval from Ma Shimin. "Everyone must unite."

The first thing Li Huanggua said after he returned was: "Next year, if we don't unite, I'm afraid we won't be able to get any good official land."

It became clear immediately.

It seems that Ma Shimin has jumped to Lu Wendong's side? Yes,

Ma Shimin was born in Hehuang,

The foreign firm with the closest relationship to Hutchison Whampoa is none other than Wheelock & Co.! Previously, the two boards of directors had overlapped!

If Ma Shimin does not want to return to Hutchison,

Then the best choice is to go to Wheelock!

...

The Governor's Dinner is a grand event.

In addition to Hong Kong's leading figures, consuls from various countries in Hong Kong also attended the banquet.

Lu Wendong, who had ulterior motives, was chatting with the Consul of Suriname in Hong Kong Island.

Suriname is located in the northern part of South America, surrounded by the Caribbean Sea.

It was originally a Dutch colony.

Later, with the wave of colonial independence,

Suriname has always been in a politically unstable situation, with coups happening at every turn.

Currently, the power in Suriname is controlled by a military junta consisting of 16 young military generals! To put it simply,

Suriname is currently under a military government! It's a dictatorship!

Lu Wendong is a very simple person.

His men have arrived in Dominica,

Currently following Juan around in the name of investment,

After the land is confirmed,

Lu Wendong will summon his assassins and start to build a military training area.

Support each other,

Since there must be horns,

Of course, we have to choose another place in that area. Originally, Lu Wendong had his eyes on Panama.

That place is nice,

A Panama Canal is a great tool for making money! It also connects North and South America.

It's like a treasure trove sent down from heaven.

Who knew that there was a coup in Panama recently, and the former consul in Hong Kong was called back.

Then Lu Wendong can only choose someone else. After looking around,

Suriname caught Lu Wendong's eye.

Suriname is in a good location, it's on the equator.

The distance between the local surface and the Earth's orbit is relatively short.

Rockets launched from here require less fuel to reach the required orbital altitude.

For example, the Gallic space launch center is located in French Guiana, a neighboring country of Suriname! Secondly,

Suriname is a small country with a small population.

The whole country has a population of just over 400,000, of which more than 70,000 are Chinese!

The Chinese occupy a considerable proportion in Suriname. The reason why there are so many people is that

This is because there was a gold rush in the 19th century, and Suriname has rich gold mines.

At that time, many gold prospectors came from Guangdong and Guangxi. Later,

These people then multiplied and thrived in Suriname.

Like other places,

The places where these people live are also called Chinatowns, which are both a protection and a limitation.

The consul of Suriname is named Derong, who is in his forties.

Looks young and strong.

Because Suriname produces gold mines,

Hong Kong Island is one of the world's three largest gold trading centers, so Derong's life is much better than Juan's.

"Oh, Mr. Lu." Derong said he was the consul.

In fact, it is equivalent to an exporter in Suriname, and its responsibilities are similar to Juan's.

Responsible for helping Suriname make money.

"I heard that the Peninsula Hotel has been acquired by Mr. Lu?" "Congratulations."

Foreigners may not know Chinese Estates, but they definitely know The Peninsula Hotel.
