Things in the Mainland have basically come to an end. After arranging the directions that their respective branches and investments need to take, what is left is the execution of the team. If there are no major problems or profits, then Chen Zhiwen does not need to Pay extra attention. At a similar time point, the people under my command will naturally report that, for example, the Yanjing Municipal Government and Hutchison Whampoa have entered into a new round of business negotiations on the doubling of the size of the International Trade Center. When there is new progress, then Chen Zhiwen naturally knows it, and the progress should be very fast, because before this, the negotiations in all aspects are basically about the same.
On June 1st, Chen Zhiwen returned to Hong Kong together with a bunch of Hong Kong's rich, dignitaries and celebrities. On the plane, everyone basically knew about Chen Zhiwen's investment in the International Trade Center. This investment was really too big, even far more than the current land. The Exchange Square under construction is not of the same scale at all. Apart from the expensive land price, the Exchange Square is far from the rest.
Such a large capital investment has made many companies trapped in the real estate crisis envious. Several people came over to chat and asked Chen Zhiwen about the future direction of the real estate market. In this regard, Chen Zhiwen only said He gave some false things, such as being optimistic about the future, etc. They were all companies he had never heard of in the future. Hisense Bank would not give them loans of this type, but Li Jiacheng and others were restrained, although they were also We chatted for a while, but there was no business issue at all.
Soon, the plane landed, and Chen Zhiwen returned to the familiar Hong Kong again.
After arriving home, Chen Zhiwen was just sitting on the sofa, preparing to eat some fruits imported from Australia. Suddenly, his mother came over and asked: "Awen, I heard that you made an appointment with a girl in Yanjing? She is very gentleman. Huh? Do you have any ideas? "
"Mom, how did you know?" Chen Zhiwen was shocked. Although this matter is not a top secret, the people involved are also his bodyguards and several life or work assistants. These people have gone through many times. In order to stay with him only after this test, they should be the only ones who know this. It is unlikely that other people will know. Moreover, it is Yanjing, not Hong Kong, and almost no one knows him, so it is impossible for him to be known by some people who know his reputation. Discovered by accident.
"Don't worry about how I know it? Tell me quickly." Wu Xiuling hurriedly urged. Her son's career can already be said to be one of the best in the world, but seeing that he is 30 years old and has not yet started a family, he is a little anxious. Although he comes from Hong Kong She said that it was normal for rich people of this age not to get married, but it made her a little anxious.
"If you don't tell me how you know, I will have to change all the people around me." Chen Zhiwen shrugged.
"Okay, okay, it's not the people around you, it's the people in the hotel where you ate steak that day. There are Hong Kong people there, so they naturally know you." Wu Xiuling said.
"Oh, yes." Chen Zhiwen nodded. He almost forgot about this group of people. The hotel is an asset of the Chen family. Chen Tianfu invested in it 2 years ago. There are also many Hong Kong employees in it. It is normal to know him, so everything will be smooth. That makes sense.
In fact, it was because this kind of thing did not involve safety, and the security department only ensured that they did not have weapons on them, so they could get closer.
"So what do you say?" Wu Xiuling asked again.
"It depends on fate." Chen Zhiwen said that he is almost ready to start a family. Although many rich people in Hong Kong started their families late when they were young. For example, Li Jiacheng got married at the age of 35. He is 32 years old this year, which is about the same.
"You just know the fate. Okay, I don't care. If you really want to do this, you have to bring it back early for us to see." Wu Xiuling saw that she couldn't pry her son's mouth open, so she didn't bother to ask further questions. Over the years, with his son's success and growth, he has become the backbone of the Chen family, and he doesn't want to say that other family members can't help it either.
After Wu Xiuling left, Chen Tianfu also rushed over from outside.
Chen Zhiwen also prepared some fruits and said, "Come and eat some, and bring some ice. It's quite hot outside."
"Yes, it's damn hot in June." Chen Tianfu said with a smile. He also sat down, ate some fruit, and asked, "How about harvesting in China this time?"
"It's okay. Basically, everything I wanted has been achieved. The International Trade Center will also be expanded, and it can become Hutchison Whampoa's Harbor City." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.
In the original history, in the 21st century, the annual rent of the original International Trade Center was 5 billion yuan. Compared with the annual net income of Harbor City's rent of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, it was almost half. But now that we are going to double the scale of expansion, the future income should be It’s almost the same as Harbor City.
As for whether the expansion of scale will affect rents, there is no need to worry. There should not be too many CBD commercial buildings in Yanjing City in the future. Although the International Trade Center may be the largest building, it is far behind the overall scale.
"That's good. You quietly dropped another thunder for Hong Kong." Chen Tianfu said with a smile: "A few days ago, the Hong Kong government sent someone to ask me, when are you going to be there?" If Hong Kong invests in something big, the Hong Kong government probably needs you to boost economic morale."
Originally, Chen Zhiwen announced that he would acquire Disney in the United States. Including liabilities, etc., it would cost nearly US$3 billion. So many media spread rumors and claimed that the richest man was going to run away. Now, Chen Zhiwen is planning to invest about US$1 billion in the Mainland. , build a global-level international trade center that is far larger than the existing building complex in Hong Kong. Although the investment amount may not be as high as Disney's acquisition, the attitude is already there.
"As for Hong Kong, I have no problem investing. I have already sent Hutchison Whampoa to negotiate with the Hong Kong government. As long as there is no hard development demand for the land they auction, I will get as much land as they bid for. Earth. - Chen Zhiwen laughed."
"You." Chen Tianfu smiled and shook his head and said: "With your thoughts, the Hong Kong government is not a fool. How could it not know that you are trying to hoard land at the lowest cost? What the Hong Kong government means is that you are also investing directly in Hong Kong. Something related to construction, there are already many unemployed construction workers in society, and a large number of young people wandering around, giving the Hong Kong government a headache."
"Aren't I going to build a beautiful building? This project can easily provide work for thousands of construction workers. I have no interest in anything else for the time being." Chen Zhiwen said with a shrug.
In fact, this is a game process. Chen Zhiwen wants to hoard land. This is very simple. There are many on the market. Some companies cannot stand the crisis and will naturally sell some property land. But at present, there are relatively few high-quality ones. Really good quality are all in the hands of large companies, and large companies are also very capable of withstanding pressure. In the original history, excluding the huge fraud of the Jiani Group, only a few large companies were severely damaged and have not yet collapsed. Therefore, it is really possible There is actually very little high-quality land flowing out.
Another way to obtain high-quality land is through the Hong Kong government's bidding. However, bidding will have a lot of development requirements. If you buy this kind of land, you can only buy a small part of it yourself. Moreover, during this period, it will cost money to develop the property. If you have a lot of money, it would be a waste to spend it on these places at a time when you can acquire various high-quality properties.
Although Chen Zhiwen is not very short of money, there are many places where he needs to use it. For example, the real estate market in Japan has greater development potential than that in Hong Kong. It also requires a huge amount of funds. In Hong Kong, he still needs to prepare for acquisitions. Naturally, you can save a little bit on land and other aspects. That is to say, the Yanjing International Trade Center is very special. Otherwise, you can wait a few years or even ten years before investing in domestic office buildings.
"Then do you think the Hong Kong government will regress?" Chen Tianfu asked.
"Yes, the economic crisis is only less than a year old. Just like cancer, it will become more destructive in the later stages. By then, the Hong Kong government may not be able to do anything." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
The Hong Kong dollar crisis in history was so serious that the Hong Kong government was basically unable to contain it. Subsequently, under pressure from the country and all parties, the British government had to use a large amount of foreign exchange to rescue the situation. In addition, it reached a certain degree of agreement with the mainland. The consensus is that Hong Kong's economy and status will be strictly protected. Only in this way can the Hong Kong dollar crisis be resolved.
In this life, it is naturally impossible for him to come forward to completely solve this problem, but he can at least alleviate the Hong Kong government's foreign exchange gap, and even reduce the pressure on the British side. However, there are naturally many conditions for doing so, and in the process, he We can also benefit from this, because the Hong Kong dollar will fall directly from the official 5.5 to 7.8.
Of course, if the price is calculated in US dollars, the profit may not be that much.
"That's okay, we're not in a hurry anyway." Chen Tianfu said: "I, Hengyi, have also been acquiring some industrial buildings and various commercial properties recently, but the amount is not large."
"A little can add up, or if you talk to those big companies, especially those who are short of money, you might be able to get some good assets." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
"Well, I can only give it a try. If it doesn't work, I will go to Shenhai City to invest. Things there have really changed in half a year. It feels like Hong Kong in the 1950s." Chen Tianfu said.
"Sooner or later, it won't be surprising that Shenhai City will become more developed than Hong Kong one day." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said that in a few decades, Shenhai City's per capita population may not be as good as Hong Kong's, but the total scale will exceed that, and Shenhai City's The economic structure is relatively much healthier, and in Hong Kong, real estate is really the only thing left.
Time passed by, and soon another week passed, and Chen Zhiwen welcomed another guest: Zhang Zhongmou, the future founder of TSMC.
