Chapter 1732 The Big Deal Is Coming Again!
Now the negotiations between China and Britain have entered a new stage.
No matter which aspect it is discussed from, compared to the collapse of the talks half a year ago, the attitudes of both parties are now very positive.
They all also know that if the trouble continues, Xiangjiang will only become a pool of stagnant water.
For Britain, if Xiangjiang is killed, they, who call themselves gentlemen, will feel very shameful.
This is even more true for China. Taking back a completely lifeless Hong Kong is not what they want at all.
According to the most optimistic estimates in newspapers and news programs, there will be definite news next year at the latest to completely clarify the issue of fate.
The people below did not feel it deeply, but the wealthy class in Xiangjiang let out a long sigh of relief.
It doesn't really matter to the poor. They don't have much assets anyway. At most they only have a house. Many people don't even have a house.
But it's different for the rich. If Xiangjiang is destroyed, all their hundreds of millions and billions of assets will be wiped out. This is something they absolutely don't want to see.
Now that the situation is developing in a good direction, everyone is naturally happy.
People like Yin Jun who took action in advance were envied, jealous and hated by many people.
Just through the crazy acquisitions in the past few months after the Chinese New Year, Kirin Group has spent more than 80 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire more than 10% of the real estate and land in Hong Kong.
After Huo Jianning returned to Xiangjiang, he made such a large-scale acquisition. At that time, many people criticized him, saying that this person had been in the mainland for several years and had no idea about the environment in Xiangjiang. He was simply acting randomly.
But now it seems that after Huo Jianning's crazy acquisitions, although the value of real estate and land has not increased significantly, and many sites are even declining, anyone who really knows the business knows that people can't buy it at all. It's not the present, but the future.
Once the situation in Xiangjiang becomes clear, just wait and see the land in the hands of Qilin Group rising!
What surprised the richest people in Xiangjiang most was that Huo Jianning's acquisitions did not weaken at all as the funds in his hands decreased.
Even after the Kirin Group's Lantau Island development plan began, Huo Jianning did not pay all the land in one lump sum, but reached an agreement with the Hong Kong government to pay it off in three years.
Although this will incur some interest charges, there is no doubt that Huo Jianning will also greatly increase the liquidity in his hands.
Including Kirin Group's plan for eight Kirin commercial plazas in Xiangjiang, Huo Jianning has already negotiated and customized commercial plaza projects with several real estate developers such as Jardine Matheson, Cheung Kong, New World, and Sun Hung Kai.
Similarly, Huo Jianning still did not pay much for these commercial plaza projects.
According to insiders, Huo Jianning used the credit guarantee of the Kirin Group and only paid a small deposit. The remaining payment was divided into two years and paid off without interest!
In addition to these two largest projects, there are actually many acquisitions of significant amounts. Qilin Real Estate also does this. It can pay in installments, or directly assume bank loans for the land or real estate.
Anyway, the businessmen in Xiangjiang are not fools. They must believe in Yin Jun's credibility and sell the things in their hands as soon as possible. Although the money may not be received immediately, at least it is not lost on their hands and the high amount can be eliminated. The worry of bank loan interest.
Kirin Group rarely used the installment payment model in the past.
Now that Huo Jianning is vigorously pursuing this model, the only explanation is that he will continue to madly acquire land and real estate on the market.
Of course, everyone knows that Huo Jianning's actions must have been approved by Yin Jun, or at least Yin Jun knew or acquiesced.
Otherwise, with more than 10 billion US dollars in his hands, which boss would have such a big heart and dare to let him do it completely?
But the more he behaves like this, many people in Xiangjiang can't believe it. Even though Mr. Jun has become the richest man in the world, they still have concerns in their hearts.
Just as those bastards who completely turned to the British said, the mainland has entered Xiangjiang, and it's hard for others to tell. Will they still embarrass Yin Jun?
Don't buy a house with Yin Jun. When the time comes, they will be fine, but all your property will be in vain, and it will be too late to cry.
I have to say that such threats are still very useful.
Everyone wants to be Yin Jun, but everyone knows that they cannot become Yin Jun.
It takes hundreds of years for this kind of genius to appear. If there are too many, God won't allow it!
Therefore, it is definitely impossible for Yin Jun's assets to be seized or confiscated, but what will happen to ordinary people?
Who dares to take this guarantee?
Even though Yin Jun said it many times on TV and in interviews, everyone was still worried.
Chinese people have never been in the habit of putting their wealth and life in the hands of others.
We are born to only believe in ourselves, and at best one of our own family members, but it is absolutely impossible to include friends.
This is the result of thousands of years of cultural inheritance.
Therefore, those who envy Yin Jun and even study under him are not ordinary people at all, but the rich who have their own aspirations.
This is not just true for real estate tycoons, but also for tycoons in other industries.
They secretly or openly began to purchase various real estate and land assets, regardless of whether others believed it or not.
The most sensational deal here is the second development rights for nine properties on the Hong Kong Island Line.
More than three years ago, more than a dozen real estate developers, led by Hang Lung Group, spent a sky-high price to acquire the development rights for properties above 9 subway stations out of a total of 14.
But then they encountered the most painful real estate crash, with land and real estate prices avalanche, and there was no sign of a turnaround.
As a last resort, they had to pay a liquidated damages of HK$400 million and cancel this cooperation.
This is also the most painful failure for Chinese businessmen in the real estate business in Hong Kong in the past five or six years.
Hang Lung Group, which originally hoped to become the number one Chinese business group, saw its market value plummet as a result. Although it was not completely devastated, it took several years to heal its wounds.
Chen Qizong, the eldest son of Hang Lung Group, who was originally boasted to be comparable to Yin Jun, has also fallen silent in the past two years.
Now Yin Jun has become the richest man in the world, but he has not even taken care of Hang Lung Group.
However, just recently, Huo Jianning, vice president of Kirin Group and president of Kirin Real Estate, once again mentioned the aborted project to build properties above nine subway stations on the Hong Kong Island Line.
More than two years ago, due to extremely poor market conditions, not only were the construction of nine subway buildings bid by Hang Lung and other consortiums canceled, but the plans for the remaining five subway buildings bid by individual companies were also postponed.
Then last year, in 1983, other companies that could no longer hold on paid part of the liquidated damages and withdrew from the Island Line MTR project.
Huo Jianning is very bold. He proposed an overall development plan for the properties above the 14 subway stations in the first phase of the Hong Kong Island Line.
The whole thing.
That year, the Hang Lung Consortium acquired the development rights of properties above nine subway stations and had to pay a total of HK$1.82 billion in land premium.
In addition to this money, the overall construction cost is expected to be HK$7 billion, and the overall profit after the construction is completed within three years is HK$40 billion - half of which is accounted for by the MTR Corporation and half by consortiums such as Hang Lung.
Moreover, this equity is still estimated based on the price at that time. If land and real estate prices skyrocket in two or three years, then you will earn more than that.
Of course, reality is not a dream. Two or three years later, instead of skyrocketing, real estate prices plummeted.
Therefore, Hang Lung Group, as well as Chinachem, IWC, Liao Chuangxing Enterprises, etc., also felt that the liquidated damages of HK$400 million at that time were not unfair.
Otherwise, all the 9 billion Hong Kong dollars have been invested, and if the sales situation is not good, such a large amount of funds will be stuck there, and it will easily bring down the company.
Even now, in the second half of 1984, everyone feels that the future of the Hong Kong Island Line is unclear and they don't know whether it will be feasible. Investing in building this line is still a risk.
But there is absolutely no shortage of people who dare to gamble in this world.
Yin Jun is naturally one of them.
Before he left Xiangjiang, he had already discussed the general framework with Mr. Huo, Charter King, Li Chaoren, Hu Yinxiang, Zheng Yutong and others, and got their approval.
It’s not that Qilin Real Estate can’t afford such a project. There is really no need to go it alone.
If you want to talk about making money, the wealthy people in Xiangjiang and the industry in Xiangjiang are not as good as the 50% of Microsoft stocks in Yin Jun's hands.
Even if Microsoft goes public in the future, Yin Jun needs to give up at least 20%, or even more, but even if only 20% of the stock is left until 2018, that will be 20% of the market value of 800 billion!
A total of 160 billion US dollars! !
Not to mention that Yin Jun also owns the most core asset of Google in later generations-the search engine.
The market value of this company is US$760 billion!
Even if Yin Jun does not invest at all except for these, Yin Jun's assets will exceed 1 trillion US dollars in the future.
With a trillion dollars, do people still care about whether they have money or not?
Therefore, Yin Jun is more concerned about uniting more people to prevent Xiangjiang from collapsing in the next ten years and completely becoming a stagnant pool that cannot be saved no matter how hard it is.
Therefore, when Huo Jianning proposed the overall development of the properties above the 14 stations of the first phase of the Hong Kong Island Line, Kirin Real Estate was not the only one.
Fok Investments, Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, Hang Lung Group, Chinachem, New World Development, Henderson Land Development, Sun Hung Kai, Kuok Brothers... A total of 15 real estate companies participated in this application bidding.
Having united almost two-thirds of the Chinese real estate companies, Huo Jianning's move this time was obviously determined to win.
