Secret talks between the Bank of England and Lehman Brothers have been revealed.
Although the Lehman Group feels good about itself and feels that the government will definitely bail out the market and give it a hand, after all, even his younger brothers have obtained the government's promises for fear of causing social unrest. There is no reason that he, the boss, cannot get it.
Of course, if you get it, you can get it. In order to negotiate better terms, the senior executives of the Lehman Group naturally do not mind contacting the Bank of England, or any bank that is interested in discussing cooperation with them.
After all, this can also show off your muscles. If you don't want to, some people do. And if you don't want to, I will cooperate with banks from other countries as a consortium in the United States, so don't force me.
In short, contacting other banks can greatly improve one's ability to put pressure on the U.S. government. It has all the benefits but no harm. The senior management of the Lehman Group has no reason to reject the Bank of England's application.
However, although the rumor has been released, it is still uncertain when the results will be released. Or just letting the news out is not enough. Substantial transactions between the Lehman Group and the Bank of England are also needed, and perhaps the Morgan Group will react.
For example, if we take some high-quality but not absolutely core assets of the Lehman consortium and talk about mortgage loans, it will scratch the itch of Morgan and other consortiums. At that time, they should respond appropriately.
But these are not things that cannot be rushed, so take a few steps and try them first to see the effect.
Putting aside the Lehman Group affairs for the time being, Yang Dongxu began to deal with the work in Xiangjiang, such as meeting with Zhang Zhang to learn about the specific situation of Xiangjiang real estate.
"Sit down, is there anything we should be polite to each other? Are you still used to it here in Xiangjiang?" In the reception room of Hedong Garden, Yang Dongxu waved to Zhang Cheng, who was standing upright.
Compared with the previous charter when I first joined the company, the current charter is much more stable.
After all, compared to the previous charter, which gradually rose from within the group to its current high position.
The charter in front of me, who has been trained in the Middle East project and further studied in Xiangjiang, an international financial center, and interacted with major real estate executives and business celebrities, has improved his abilities and personal realm by more than one level.
"It's beautiful mountains and rivers, and there isn't much work yet. Of course I'm used to it. I'm not here to work. I'm just here for vacation." Zhang Cheng said with a smile.
Although these words may sound like a joke, there are also some real feelings in them.
Compared with the various social activities and relationships that are impossible to avoid when working in the mainland, it is really not too easy to work here in Xiangjiang.
After all, Yang Dongxu has too many properties listed under the name of Hurricane Construction, as well as properties purchased and built on land by Hurricane Construction itself. It is no exaggeration to say that Yang Dongxu is Yang Bancheng.
So it is no exaggeration to say that if Yang Dongxu sneezes, the Xiangjiang real estate market will really catch a cold.
With such a large base, the influence can be imagined. Therefore, when the charter is in the mainland, it is usually easy to smooth out some interpersonal relationships. After arriving in Xiangjiang, a group of people took the initiative to come to him to smooth over their relationship. The difference between positive and negative is really not that big.
"As long as you live a good life, have you ever thought about finding another one?" Yang Dongxu asked with a smile as if he was making things up.
"Boss, let's work and talk about work." Zhang Cheng kept bowing and begging for mercy.
My work ability, personal vision, and state of mind have improved a lot, but this marriage is really like being bitten by a snake once and fearing for ten years.
Especially as an absolute diamond king, Zhang Cheng truly understands what it means to be single for a while and feel good, and to be single all the time. This kind of getting what you need without any psychological pressure is really better than the marriage that almost broke him down before. I don’t know how much better it is.
"It's time to think about it, you are already old enough." Yang Dongxu mentioned again. Since Du Heng came back, he usually always focuses on how to find a partner for Du Heng. Sometimes Yang Dongxu feels a little bit old, and he gets excited when he sees a single person. I want to say a few words.
But what needs to be said has been said, and he will not force anything. After all, marriage is a private matter, and it's inappropriate for him as a boss to stretch his hand too far.
"Definitely, definitely consider it seriously." Zhang Cheng nodded repeatedly, seemingly serious but actually perfunctory.
However, once the topic was over, neither of them mentioned the matter.
So Yang Dongxu started talking about work, "What do you think of the future of Xiangjiang's real estate? Well... without taking into account the possible subprime mortgage crisis, just look at the current development of Xiangjiang's real estate."
Zhang Cheng frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "From a pure perspective of Xiangjiang's real estate development, I think the future real estate market in Xiangjiang will be hotter than the real estate in all cities in the country. It can even be said to be crazy."
"Is there any basis for this?" Yang Dongxu asked with a smile.
"There are two reasons for this. The first is the issue of land resources. Although the Xiangjiang government is very generous in granting land, the actual situation is that there is obviously a lot of land in Xiangjiang that can be used for real estate development.
Unless land is reclaimed from the sea, the land resources of Xiangjiang real estate cannot be compared with those in the mainland, which means that the price of real estate here is destined to be higher than in China.
After all, Hong Kong is one of the international financial centers. Not only mainlanders like to come to Hong Kong, but also some foreigners like to settle in Hong Kong because of the one country, two systems policy.
There is little land, but the permanent population is growing year after year. The real estate in Xiangjiang, where there are many monks but little food, is booming even if it is not popular.
The second one is the difference in home buyers. Home buyers, both at home and abroad, can be divided into two categories: those who just need to buy a house to live in, and those who want to invest.
Putting aside the fact that the demand is the same at home and abroad, if we take real estate investors alone, the real estate investors in Xiangjiang are more crazy than those in China, and their nature is slightly different.
Domestic real estate speculators are, to put it bluntly, coerced by some professional real estate speculators.
For example, what those real estate speculators in the South like to do most is to advertise on the Internet and in newspapers and newspapers that the real estate prices are high. If you buy it today, you can make hundreds of thousands by reselling it tomorrow.
With this kind of publicity, and the fact that domestic real estate is indeed rising as a whole, the developers have a few words to say. Basically, the houses obtained by real estate speculators at the original land price will be taken over soon.
That is to say, real estate speculators first buy a house, and then find someone to take over the house at a very high price to extract funds, or they speculate the house price and then get a bank loan for the house, and then buy a new house. Most of them are empty-handed speculation. .
It is different here in Xiangjiang. Both rich and poor people in Xiangjiang like to buy houses. The saying a few years ago, "Celebrities may not be popular, stocks may fall, only bricks are the most real" is what everyone in Xiangjiang thinks when buying a house. .
However, the difference between their real estate speculation and the mainland is that only the poor here in Xiangjiang will take out loans to buy houses, while the rich basically buy them in full. The newly acquired house is directly mortgaged to the bank, and then the mortgage money is used to buy a new house. This cycle of speculation is not uncommon in Hong Kong.
But most of them buy it with full payment. For example, celebrities in Xiangjiang like to buy a house after making money. The most typical example is Simon Yam, who uses all the money he earns to buy a house, and then makes money again when he has no money.
All the money invested in real estate is yours, not borrowed from a bank. Such examples are not uncommon in Xiangjiang.
People who buy houses in this way basically plan to hold them for a long time, rather than short-term real estate speculation like in the mainland.
And because it is a long-term holding, such a house will not be circulated on the market in the short term. This further reduces the number of properties in Xiangjiang, thereby further driving up housing prices in Xiangjiang. "
I have to say that after Zhang Cheng came to Xiangjiang, he was really working and felt very down-to-earth. He has a very good and in-depth understanding of the real estate situation in Xiangjiang.
Otherwise, I would not have such a profound analysis of the future trend of Xiangjiang real estate.
"Then what do you think of the company's future development direction in real estate in Xiangjiang?"
"Acquire more land, develop more non-sale properties, and mainly use rental operations to return costs. Expand more mid-range residences, and just a few high-end residences can be used as signboards. There is no need to invest a lot of money in this.
After all, such a house is not popular in the rental market. If it is sold directly, the price/performance ratio is not as good as that of a long-term rental of a medium-sized house. "
"The circulation of top-level properties is indeed a big problem." Yang Dongxu couldn't help but nodded.
Real estate in Xiangjiang is really expensive, and Chen Haomin is a well-known star. He became famous after playing Duan Yu. He filmed various TV series to make money, but as a result, his family could only squeeze into a small house.
This is in stark contrast to mainland celebrities’ luxury and big house trips that cost tens of millions. According to the market price of Chen Haomin's so-called small house, it is no lower than the house of a mainland star worth tens of millions. This shows how ridiculously high housing prices are in Hong Kong.
A mid-level house of about 100 square meters is so expensive, and a mid-level villa can easily start at several hundred million.
But the embarrassing thing is that the rich who can afford villas worth hundreds of millions of dollars have no shortage of houses to live in, and those who cannot afford them will not buy them.
Therefore, the first consideration for people who can buy such a house is not the issue of living, but the cost-effectiveness of investment. The people who buy their houses are also businessmen, and they also need to consider the cost-effectiveness of the investment. As a result, the transaction volume of villas worth hundreds of millions is really low.
For example, real estate in Xiangjiang is so hot now, but the types of houses to be handed over are mainly concentrated on properties with a value of less than 3 million. The transaction volume of properties with a value of more than 3 million and less than 5 million will drop by several percentage points compared with the transaction volume of properties with a value of less than 3 million. Ten percentage points.
The transaction volume of properties priced between 5 million and below 10 million is almost half compared to the basic transaction volume of properties below 3 million.
A house transaction worth more than 10 million yuan can get a small place in the newspaper. A real estate transaction worth more than 100 million yuan will basically be widely reported by the media.
A certain local tycoon spends hundreds of millions of dollars, a certain celebrity buys a villa worth hundreds of millions, etc. The news and gossip in Hong Kong like this kind of news.
Of course, this all refers to housing transactions. Those commercial housing transactions between companies, which can cost billions or tens of billions, are not included in this.
Therefore, in terms of financial liquidity alone, it is easier to get paid for a medium-sized house than for a villa. And it is easier to rent such a house than a villa.
"So I suggest that we focus on mid-market commercial housing in the future. In fact, the mainland can also..." Zhang Jing suddenly paused as he spoke, because Zhang Jing walked over quickly.
"What's wrong?" Yang Dongxu asked in confusion as he looked at Zhang Jing who was walking over in a hurry.
"Something happened. Someone posted photos of Chen Guanxi and several celebrities on the Internet. The entire Xiangjiang entertainment industry was shocked." Zhang Jing said quickly, and quickly opened the news on the tablet in her hand and handed it to Yang Dongxu to read.
'***'?
These three words suddenly came to Yang Dongxu's mind. He was so busy during this period, how could he forget this big melon?
And wasn't this incident revealed in January of 2008 in the previous life?
It's already the end of April, why has this matter been delayed so much?
