Hong Kong Giant Owl: Rebirth

Chapter 506
In the original history, Li Zhaoji, Feng Jinxi, Guo Desheng and other eight people jointly founded "Yongye Company", and launched the revolutionary "sale in layers, ten-year installment payment", also relying on this pioneering work in the real estate industry , started the first shot, and finally developed into the top richest man in Hong Kong.

Because before this, the houses in Hong Kong were sold as a whole, and few people could afford them. Most of the citizens in Hong Kong today also live by renting, and few people can own their own properties. .Therefore, every time Lee Shau Kee and his "Yongye Company" opened, the buildings were sold out.

The "installment payment" house purchase method that Qin Haoran proposed to Bao Yugang, Li Jiachen, Zheng Yutong and others before is actually plagiarizing Li Shauji's idea.

In fact, Li Zhaoji and the others set up the "Yongye Company" to set foot in real estate in the past two years. Does Qin Haoran know about this situation?He knew that although he was not sure when the "Yongye Company" was established, he also knew the approximate time frame.However, he didn't pay too much attention to competing with "Yongye Company" for time, and he was not afraid that "Yongye Company" would first introduce the novel way of "installment payment" to the market.

Because even though Lee Shau Kee and the others have such a priceless idea, they are still in the groping stage. How can it compare to Qin Haoran, who was half a century ahead?

What's more, Qin Haoran started to make preparations with Bao Yugang and the others a few months ago, especially reached a consensus on cooperation with HSBC. Just for this alone, Qin Haoran has a great advantage over Li Zhaoji and the others.

I only heard Qin Haoran say to Bao Yugang: "Brother Bao, Li Zhaoji is a very powerful person, and their 'Yongye Company' was founded earlier than us. I know him well. Before he established 'Yongye Company', He has carefully studied the real estate market in Hong Kong, so it is not surprising that he can come up with the strategy of 'installment payment'."

"But it's not such a coincidence, is it?" Bao Yugang frowned, still having doubts in his heart.

Of course, he would never have thought that it was not Li Zhaoji who copied this idea, but Qin Haoran.

Qin Haoran naturally wouldn't point it out, he just smiled and said, "It's just that the hero sees the same thing, so I still admire Li Zhaoji."

Seeing that Bao Yugang was still frowning, Qin Haoran continued: "Brother Bao, although Lee Shau Kee launched the 'payment by installment' strategy one step ahead of us, they are far from our opponents. For example, they are now adopting For many citizens, the price of a unit on a whole floor is still a huge figure. Even if it is paid in installments for ten years, it is still a big burden. We can take a single unit installment, It must be more popular than them.”

"Also, Lee Shau Kee's business strategy is not as mature as ours." Qin Haoran laughed.

Bao Yugang came to his senses and asked tentatively, "You mean the cooperation with the bank?"

"That's right, Lee Shau-kee and the others haven't discovered that cooperating with banks is the only way to maximize the development and growth of their real estate company." Qin Haoran said with a smile: "We are different. Although our real estate has not yet started construction, we have never We have established a partnership with HSBC from the very beginning.”

At this time, Bao Yugang also laughed: "One more thing, Li Zhaoji's 'Yongye Company' is far inferior to ours in terms of scale. As far as I know, their company's registered capital is only 3000 yuan. Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars, our 'New World' has a registered capital of 5000 million."

"Brother Bao, you have actually overlooked one of the most important factors." Qin Haoran laughed.

"What factor?"

Qin Haoran smiled and said, "Brother, think about it, in real estate business, besides funds, what is the most important resource? Land!"

Bao Yugang suddenly realized when he heard the words, and then nodded again and again: "You are right, Li Zhaoji and the others don't have much land in their hands now. On the one hand, their funds have not been recovered so quickly, so they can't buy new land immediately. , but also because they don’t know which piece of land has the greatest development value.”

"So, Brother Bao, although Li Zhaoji and the others are one step ahead of us, our starting point is higher than them." Qin Haoran said with a chuckle.

From the very beginning, Qin Haoran and his four partners worked together to prepare for entering the real estate industry.For example, Bao Yugang was in charge of negotiating with Sanders of HSBC, Li Jiachen was in charge of finding land, Zheng Yutong was in charge of contacting the British Hong Kong government, and Qin Haoran was in charge of raising funds.

Today, Li Jiachen has delineated several places in Tsuen Wan, Tuen Mun, Sha Tin, and Hong Kong Island in Kowloon, with a total area of ​​over a thousand acres.After discussing with Bao Yugang and Zheng Yutong, they mobilized funds to buy all these lands from the British Hong Kong government.

Because those lands are not located in commercial centers, the prices are very low, and Baoyu Port and the others only spent a few million.

Regarding this situation, Qin Haoran said: "Brother Bao, the land we bought can be used as our company's reserve land, and what we need to develop are important commercial areas such as Yau Tsim Mong in Kowloon and Causeway Bay on Hong Kong Island. "

"Of course we knew that the land prices in these places were very high at that time, and even if we had sufficient funds, we might not be able to buy them. The British Hong Kong government would not sell those lands to us so easily." Bao Yugang said: " That's why we didn't make a decision, and waited for you to come back before making the final decision."

According to Bao Yugang, although most of the land in the Causeway Bay area of ​​Hong Kong Island is in the hands of the Hong Kong British government, the original plan of the Hong Kong British government was to build office buildings for administrative agencies on that area, or sell them to Those big consortiums with strong funds.

And Qin Haoran, Bao Yugang, Li Jiachen and Zheng Yutong are not well-known now. Although Qin Haoran's funds in Hong Kong are no longer comparable to few people in Hong Kong, no one knows about this situation.

That is to say, in the eyes of the British Hong Kong government, Qin Haoran and the others are just small characters, so they look down on their "new world".After all, there are many companies capable of buying land, but not many people or companies that can build large buildings on that land.

The Causeway Bay area is planned by the Hong Kong British government to develop into a commercial center, and the buildings there must be modern high-rise buildings. Therefore, they don’t want some companies with weak funds to buy the land and build low-rise buildings casually, which will affect the development of Causeway Bay. overall plan.

"Heh heh heh... the heads of those people in the government are pretty good." Qin Haoran laughed.

I have to admit that the governments of western countries like the UK pay great attention to urban planning and consider long-term plans. Once they formulate a certain city plan, they will strictly implement it and will not let individual factors destroy it. own planning.

In this regard, China will lag behind them.Not to mention the disorderly development in the early days of reform and opening up, even in the 21st century, the phenomenon of disorderly development and disorderly planning is common in many local governments.

Back to the question in Hong Kong, Qin Haoran knew that Zheng Yutong should have contacted the Hong Kong British government, but the Hong Kong British government had no confidence in Qin Haoran and his "New World", so they did not agree to sell the land to them .

"It seems that we have to find a time to talk with the government." Qin Haoran laughed.

Bao Yugang nodded, and apart from Causeway Bay on Hong Kong Island, the Yau Tsim Mong area on the Kowloon side belongs to the old district, and the British Hong Kong government has not designated it as a new commercial district, but Qin Haoran knows that this The Yau Tsim Mong area was still the center of Hong Kong until the 21st century, with great potential for development.

However, many of the land in Yau Tsim Mong has buildings, and a large part of them are old-style tenements that existed before the war. The owners are either conservative old landlords or people with gangster backgrounds.Fortunately for those who have gangster backgrounds, there is the "Kirin Club", and I believe they would not dare to play tricks.

But those old landlords are different, they regard those properties as their lifeblood, and I believe it will not be so easy for them to sell those tenement buildings.

Qin Haoran touched his cheek, and said: "There are many things that need to be dealt with, but these have to be postponed later, because I will go to the United States in a week at the earliest."

Bao Yugang naturally knew what Qin Haoran was going to America for, so he nodded.

I heard Qin Haoran say again: "But before going to the United States, I will first contact the government."

"That's okay. Lao Zheng used to look for people from the Land Development Bureau, but when you hit a wall, Haoran, you can look for someone else." Bao Yugang said: "Didn't you talk to Angus, the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau? Do you have a good friendship, you can try to find him, after all, business development is also related to the Industrial and Commercial Administration."

But Qin Haoran shook his head: "Even with the help of Angus, we still can't get around the Land Development Bureau. In the end, we still need the Land Development Bureau to nod."

Now Hong Kong is responsible for the sale of land is the Land Development Bureau, which is equivalent to the Land Bureau in China in the future, with very powerful power.

"We need to find the director of the Land Development Bureau and other management personnel." Qin Haoran rubbed his chin and said, "I don't believe that this Land Development Bureau can still block the development of our 'New World'."

Seeing Qin Haoran's confident smile, Bao Yugang couldn't help laughing.

Among the four shareholders of "New World", Qin Haoran is the youngest, but the one with the most outstanding ability. Bao Yugang knew about it a long time ago, and Qin Haoran is also the largest shareholder of "New World". For such a big event, of course he has to do it himself.
