People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

Of course Sioux City was joking. The land auction price for the Connaught Building reached HK$2.158 billion, and another US$250 million was spent on building the building.

In other words, in terms of cost alone, Jardine Matheson and Land spent more than three billion Hong Kong dollars, and the Connaught Building has always been the tallest building in Hong Kong. Such a status and current value are worth five billion Hong Kong dollars, four billion There's no way they can sell it.

"Mr. Su, please stop joking. Hongkong Land is the major shareholder of Hongle Building. We at Jardines cannot make the decision. What's more, Hongle Building is very important to us. No matter how difficult it is, we can't sell Hongle Building." Ni Bijian He shook his head and said.

This building can be regarded as a money-attracting beast. After its completion, it can contribute more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars in rent to Land every year. This is also the reason why Land has continued to expand in the real estate industry in recent years. They have the confidence.

However, blind expansion is always risky. How can you avoid getting your shoes wet by standing by the river?

Land also suffered a lot last year, largely because they followed Jardine Matheson in everything they did.

But there is nothing we can do, because Jardine is their major shareholder, and it can be said that Land Group is a Jardine-type company.

Even if it is a senior executive of the Land Group, some big decisions require the consent of Jardine.

Su Cheng never thought that they would sell the Kangle Building. Saying this is just changing the topic.

If they want to sell the Connaught Building, Sioux City will really buy it.

This building, even thirty or forty years later, is still a very dazzling building on the south bank of Victoria Harbour.

Of course, Sioux City also knows that next year, its number one position in Xiangjiang will be replaced by another new building, Hopewell Center.

Despite this, the status of Connaught Building in Hong Kong is still very high. After all, it has occupied the first place in Hong Kong for 7 years.

"Mr. Nie Bijian, to be honest, we can only offer this price. If you don't sell it, we actually have alternative land. The Huangpu Dockyard is a good piece of land. The location there is not inferior to that of Central. , but if the land is converted into commercial land, hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars will need to be paid, and the approval will take time, so my current consideration is to find a ready-made land that can be started immediately. If you don't If you are willing to sell, it would be a pity. Mr. Nie Bijian, I will give you two hours to think about it. If you are really unwilling to sell, although it is a pity, I also respect your choice. Buying and selling cannot be done without justice. , I wish you all to get through this difficult time." Su Cheng stood up and said solemnly.

If he didn't force himself to turn around, Su Cheng knew that he would continue to be hesitant.

Therefore, simply give him some time. According to the information Su Cheng has obtained so far, they can either sell it to Li Ka-shing and his gang at a lower price, or they can only sell it to him.

Even if Li Ka-shing raises the price, based on their style of doing things, they will only increase it to 20 billion at most like him.

But now Nian Bijian has no favorability towards Li Ka-shing, so if the price is the same, the most likely option is to sell it to Su Cheng.

After all, Su Cheng is the richest man in the world. Selling to him can be considered as selling Su Cheng a face.

As for Li Chaoren, he is just an ordinary billionaire in Xiangjiang now. The gap between him and the richest man like Su Cheng is too big. Tui Bijian looks down on him at all, let alone trying to save face.

Nie Bijian, like other members of the British-funded consortium, still felt that they were inherently superior to others in Xiangjiang. Even if Su Cheng became the richest man in the world, in their view, he was just on an equal footing with them.

"Okay, Mr. Su, let me call Mr. Bao Fuda. This land is jointly invested by Jardine Matheson Group and Land Group. I can't make the decision by myself! As long as Bao Fuda agrees, then we can convince him at the shareholders' meeting Everyone, so as to facilitate this deal, but at present I can't guarantee that Land will agree." Sure enough, after forcing him, he was moved.

"Mr. Nian Bijian, please feel free to do so." Su Cheng said with a smile.

So, Zuo Bijian stood up and left his seat, holding his mobile phone and walked outside to make a call.

Two minutes later, Tui Bijian came in again. “It was decided so quickly?” Su Cheng asked in surprise.

"No, I invited Mr. Bao Fuda to come over. Land's headquarters is only a few hundred meters away. It won't take him too long to come over." Nian Bijian shook his head and said.

Su Cheng nodded.

Indeed, how could such an important thing be agreed to with just one phone call?

Now that Tui Bijian had come to the idea of ​​agreeing with this matter, everyone did not continue this topic, but chatted about other things.

After another seven or eight minutes, the general manager of Joy Lai Restaurant once again ushered in a foreigner. He was Bao Fuda.

Speaking of which, Bao Fuda can be regarded as the top leader of a large bank, but many things require the consent of Yihe, so he is quite frustrated as a big boss.

But it seems that Bao Fuda and Twibi Jian are getting along well.

"Should we do something to sow discord with them?" Su Cheng even had a bad idea.

But after thinking about it, let it go. Based on Nian Bijian's performance last year and this year, he probably won't be able to sit in the position of Jardine's top class for long, so there is no need to waste time on him.

"Hello, Mr. Su." Bao Fuda greeted Su Cheng as soon as he came in.

Bao Fuda respects Su Cheng more than Nui Bijian, perhaps because his status is congenitally lower than that of Nui Bijian.

"Mr. Bao Fuda, please sit down. Mr. Nie Bijian should have told you what happened, right?" Su Cheng said with a smile.

Bao Fuda nodded, and before Zhang Qizheng could help pull out the chair, he had already pulled it out and sat down.

Zhang Qizheng also poured a cup of black tea for Bao Fuda.

These British people are considered to be members of the upper class in the UK and have a high status.

In Britain, drinking tea has always been a preference of the upper class, so they didn't think anything of it.

It's just that they usually add milk and sugar to their tea.

As a drink, the bitter taste of tea is a bit unacceptable to the British, but it is a sign of wealth. Therefore, in order to show off status and make friends with nobles, drinking tea has become a special social etiquette.

"Then I wonder what Mr. Bao Fuda thinks?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.

"20 billion Hong Kong dollars, for us, the loss is huge. If we say it out, we will definitely attract strong opposition from shareholders. Therefore, I hope Mr. Su can agree to an additional condition for us. As long as Mr. Su agrees, I will represent Land The group agrees to Mr. Su’s price of 20 billion!" Bao Fuda said directly.

Obviously, he came with a purpose. (End of chapter)
