Mixed in 1980

Chapter 361 The plan cannot keep up with the changes

"You are still vigorous despite your age, who would dare to laugh at you?"

Chen Fan smiled and looked at Da Liu and Hua Sanshao: "What about you two? What's your opinion?"

"My old man agreed, what can I say?" Young Master Hua shrugged; he was already addicted to financial exploitation.

Liu Cixin smiled and said, "We've already taken over superpowers like the former Soviet Union. There's no reason not to take over smaller countries that are easier to take over."

Chen Fan nodded slightly: "Since everyone agrees, let's set a time to go back to Beijing together and work with the Ministry of Commerce to finalize the specifics."

This collaboration is very complex.

Unlike before, where they would just make a quick buck and leave, this time there would be specific rules and regulations governing the acquisition of various industries and how they would be distributed afterward.

Especially when it comes to minerals and resources, it is highly likely that joint ventures will be organized to jointly invest in the industry according to the division of profits and hold the shares for long-term development.

In addition, there are Japan and South Korea.

Despite having just experienced an economic crisis, Japan has ample foreign exchange reserves and strong production capacity, so it can only reap a financial windfall.

At most, I'll stomp on it one more time!
South Korea is different; it lacks the resilience of Japan. This financial crisis presents an opportunity for them to acquire related technologies, equipment, and company shares.

As for Great Russia, forget about it. That self-proclaimed emperor already wields immense power. Faced with the economic crisis, he simply defaults on his debts, freezes securities trading, and effectively locks up foreign investment.

If you plunge headlong into it, the outcome will be the same as Soros's Quantum Fund: you can only make a few noises and curses internationally, and there's nothing else you can do.

Anyway, Chen Fan wasn't interested.

Previously, they plundered assets from the former Soviet Union, and now they are accelerating their sale, leaving nothing but land and forest farms.

The oligarchs and Western capitalists who take over these assets will not fare well either. In a few years, when that man comes to power, he will definitely deal with them one by one.

After the meeting, everyone dispersed.

Zeng Ali sighed softly, "If we take over all the Southeast Asian countries, our family's assets will become too huge. Our children may not be able to support it in the future."

"If you can't hold on, just sell it."

Chen Fan casually put his arm around her and kissed her on the lips: "Just because I like to harvest everywhere doesn't mean the children will like it too. Just do what you like."

Zeng Ali nodded and said, "It's hard to say about the others, but I'll definitely like the second one. His personality is just like yours, with a bandit-like nature and ruthlessness."

"Let's see when they're older. The most important thing is that their values ​​aren't warped." Chen Fan nodded slightly. Among the children, Yan Jin was undoubtedly the best candidate to succeed him.

The other four lacked a certain ruthlessness.

The third brother, Yan Cheng, is too ambitious. He can manage a single company without much trouble, but he can't manage a conglomerate. He's too big and lacks ruthlessness, making him easily led by the nose.

The fifth brother, Yan Che, is still a mischievous little monkey, his personality is still developing. People with this kind of personality will only settle down when they grow up.

……

Overnight, Hong Kong's property market began to stir, as if brewing a storm, with the British starting to hype up the "Rose Garden Project".

Building an airport boosts the economy and drives up housing prices!
Everything was going smoothly, except for Xinghuo Investment, which calmly sold its second-hand homes, as if the rising housing prices had nothing to do with it and it only wanted to sell the houses.

There's also Starfire Properties, which launched 3000 new homes in Yuen Long and Tuen Mun, following market trends but constantly depleting the purchasing power of the property market.

All of this seemed to have nothing to do with Chen Fan. He held a Christie's Spring Auction catalog that Zhou Wenya had given him and flipped through it one by one.

When I came to Hong Kong, I made a promise to my eldest daughter that I would bring her a batch of antiques when I returned.

The items in this year's spring auction weren't particularly good; they were mainly porcelain from the late Ming to late Qing dynasties, but there were some fine pieces, and Chen Fan had his eye on several of them.

Ming Hongzhi period white-ground green-painted cloud and dragon with dark sea pattern bowl; Ming Zhengde period yellow-ground green dragon pattern spittoon; Ming Jiajing period polychrome floral and rock pattern square plate; Ming Wanli period polychrome phoenix pattern gourd-shaped wall vase...

As Chen Fan circled the items he liked, Xu Jinqiu, accompanied by her two daughters and two bodyguards, headed to Panjiayuan.

Stepping out of the car, holding one child's hand in each, Xu Jinqiu smiled and asked, "Yanxi wants to buy antiques, and Yanyin wants to buy jade. Where should we go first?"

Yan Yin smiled sweetly: "I'll listen to my older sister!"

Yan Xi rolled his eyes: "You little flatterer, all you do is sweet talk. Let's go look at the jade and emeralds first, it shouldn't take long."

Yan Yin nodded and said, "Sister is the best. I want to buy a bunch of pretty ones."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xi rolled her eyes. Her younger sister was just like her stepmother; she was the best at coaxing people and could keep everyone in the family happy.

However, this time, Yan Xi's plan was clearly wrong. Once his sister entered the jewelry store, she couldn't stop, just like when his stepmother went to the market at the end of the year.

If you see something eye-catching, you should try it out.

Xu Jinqiu rolled her eyes as she watched. What kind of taste does this girl have? Colorless, blue, red, yellow, purple, green—she buys anything that looks good to her.

Even more outrageous is that they even buy colorless glass-like jadeite that is full of white inclusions.

Xu Jinqiu lost her temper and stared at the boss: "It's a pretty big shop, how dare you put this up here? You're just ripping people off."

The shopkeeper, somewhat embarrassed, seeing that the little girl had bought so many items, quickly said, "These are quite pretty, if your daughter likes them, then they're a free gift." "That's more like it!"

Xu Jinqiu was finally satisfied. Little did she know that the things the little girl bought would later be hyped up by internet celebrities and become snowflake cotton, with glass-quality bracelets selling for millions.

But these days, it's just waste!

In other words, this boss is stingy. Under normal circumstances, this kind of material would end up in the garbage dump.

After leaving the jade shop, Yan Yin was clearly not satisfied. She bought any pretty stones she saw, mostly things like chicken-blood stone and Shoushan stone.

Xu Jinqiu is happy to indulge her daughter's desires.

It's normal for girls to like brightly colored and sparkly things. If she likes jewelry in the future, she can develop in that direction.

Thinking about all this, Xu Jinqiu sighed inwardly, realizing that each generation is different from the last.

When I was a child, eating meat was a luxury. As soon as I reached a certain age, I was sent to the countryside to work. After returning to the city, all I needed was a job. I didn't have any other choice.

She was lucky to marry Chen Fan, which allowed her to choose what she liked. Otherwise, she might be worrying about money to buy groceries tomorrow.

"Second Aunt, that green is beautiful."

The little girl took a fancy to turquoise and urged Xu Jinqiu to go over. The whole day was like this, just accompanying the little girl to buy things everywhere.

Xu Jinqiu felt a little apologetic, saying, "Second Aunt will bring you over again tomorrow, without Yan Yin, just the two of us."

The following day, Xu Jinqiu arrived as promised.

Swire Properties in Hong Kong has officially launched an acquisition of Xinghuo Investment, which will acquire 9300 properties under Xinghuo Investment's name.

The media hyped it up as soon as the two sides made contact.

On one hand, there was a large-scale premium acquisition, and on the other hand, there was the Rose Garden Project. Under the control of British capital, the media launched a large-scale publicity campaign with both approaches.

Housing prices rose immediately!

The British are very satisfied. The acquisition was the right decision. The market needs good news. As long as good news keeps coming out, house prices will rise rapidly.

In Chen Fan's previous life, they doubled housing prices in just 1995, but this time it won't be so easy, and Chen Fan isn't the only one selling off his secondhand homes.

Hang Seng Bank shareholders are selling off their properties, but prices haven't changed. As long as there's enough housing supply in the market, it won't be easy for prices to surge.

But it will definitely go up!
Once market sentiment picks up, it's not so easy to suppress. Chen Fan realized this and immediately called Zhou Wenya: "In the Yau Tsim Mong area, first release 500 new homes to suppress prices."

"Mr. Chen, isn't this too early?"

"There's no other way. If we don't suppress it now, we won't be able to later. Let's just sell!" Chen Fan said with a wry smile.

They hadn't originally planned to release new homes in prime locations so quickly, but the British counterattack has been truly impressive and has become a threat.

We need to calm market sentiment!

We can't let the housing market myth of "it's stupid not to buy a house if you have money" emerge from the start, because that would easily get out of control, and once it gets out of control, we'll have to fight it out in real terms.

Seeing the market's reaction, Li Zhaoji quickly picked up the phone: "Arrange it immediately, put 200 new houses on sale, and advertise the opening."

After giving the orders, Li Zhaoji called his allies one by one, explaining that they must work together to create a large number of properties on the market at the same time in order to calm market sentiment.

Price increases aren't scary; what's scary is letting emotions get the better of you!
Although not raising prices will result in some losses, people no longer care. Chen Fan has already offered enough benefits, so who cares about these things?
With prices rising gradually, everyone will only earn more.

After finishing all the calls, Li Zhaoji took out a cigarette, lit it, and slowly took a puff: "Those foreigners are quite capable of causing trouble; they almost overturned the table."

"Even if it's a fight to the death, don't expect prices to rise so quickly. At least one or two hundred billion US dollars will come in this year, and no one can escape."

"The only problem is that the cycle is a bit long, it won't be until the second half of 1997. If we can't hold on, we'll have to flip the table early and push through to the end."

Flicked his cigarette ash and began to calculate how large the scale of foreign investment would eventually expand and how much real estate it would ultimately acquire.

Li Hongying was also making plans!
In 1984, following Chen Fan's advice, she purchased a large number of second-hand houses, and now has a huge inventory of them.

As for new houses, there are quite a few at home.

In 1992, after the British pound exchange rate war ended, Chen Fan gave him two plots of land, both in core areas, which had already been fully developed.

"Thanks to Xiao Fan's help over the years, our family has developed so smoothly. Now it's our turn to fight for Xiao Fan."

Li Hongying gritted her teeth and said to her father, "Let's take half of that apartment complex in Central and sell it all at once."

Mr. Li nodded, pleased, and said, "It's good that you think this way. Our family motto is to repay kindness. Go for it, even if you have to sell everything."

"Thanks dad!"

Li Hongying turned and went out to make arrangements, but she couldn't calm down. Plans couldn't keep up with changes, and there were signs that things were getting out of control.

This is just the beginning!
Once Swire Properties completes the transaction and acquires Spark Investment's existing homes at a premium, the market will be more susceptible to speculation, and housing prices may become uncontrollable.
