Chapter 2571 British Response Measures
Britain is a very unique country, and it can also be said to be a very wonderful country.
Since the British made their fortunes, they have determined to be the shit-stirring sticks of Europe.
Whenever any country is about to develop and threaten its status, the UK will fan the flames, either inciting everyone to besiege France, or inciting everyone to beat Germany, even the Austro-Hungarian Empire was treated like this back then.
Therefore, many Europeans do not agree that Britain is a European country, and the British themselves do not think so.
But since the Americans have developed and acted as the world's number one shit stirrer, the British have become less conspicuous.
Even in many cases, the British are still used as weapons by the Americans. The empire on which the sun never sets is really different from the past, and it is much more lonely.
However, Britain has been glorious for more than a hundred years. London is still the center of Europe and Africa, as well as the center of many international futures. Britain still has a strong financial system and strength, and it can still be regarded as the top three powers in the world.
Therefore, whether it is the subprime mortgage crisis or the national debt crisis, it has little impact on the UK.
But the small impact does not mean that there is no impact.
The British are very cunning and vigilant. As soon as they saw signs of the spread of the Greek debt crisis, in order to improve their financial vitality, especially the vitality of real estate, they immediately released some measures of their own.
How to improve the vitality of real estate?
In fact, the whole world has the same strategy. The methods adopted by Huaguo real estate businessmen and government departments are actually used by others.
On the one hand, the state issued favorable policy measures, such as reducing real estate transaction tax, reducing transaction costs, reducing profit tax and so on.
On the other hand, the Bank of England issued a favorable policy to increase the supply of real estate loans, relax the qualification review of real estate buyers, give preferential interest rates, and subsidize loans for home buyers.
All of these, let people know immediately. The British real estate industry will usher in a new take-off.
And the next day. In Westminster, the most prosperous district in London, the average price of a high-end apartment opened two months ago has risen from 8,000 pounds per square meter to 10,000 pounds, an increase of 25%!
In addition, the second-hand houses of some high-end apartments have also experienced more or less increases, at least more than 5%.
the following few days. Such an increase not only appeared in the most prosperous Westminster district, but also gradually spread to the surrounding prosperous Lambeth, Southwark, Kensington? Chelsea areas.
In just one week, not only the housing prices of second-hand houses in these districts have soared by more than 10% on average, but even the newly opened properties have generally increased by 5%. Those new properties that have not yet opened are even rumored to be at least 10% increase.
Such an increase made people dumbfounded.
Newspapers and TVs have said that the government and the central bank have released so many good news about real estate, and people will definitely usher in a boom in buying houses. Prices will go up.
But the problem is that it has only been a few days now, and the house price has risen so much all of a sudden, so many people don't have time to react.
So the smarter people hurried to buy the house they had long dreamed of. Lest you have long nights and dreams.
Many families who need to buy a house also take advantage of the rest time to look around. I want to book the house as soon as possible, otherwise no one can bear such a fierce price increase!
These districts are all in the southeast of London, and they are all prosperous areas.
As we all know, the driving of housing prices in a region often starts with high-end real estate.
Once the housing prices in these districts ushered in an increase, then generally the housing prices in London also ushered in an increase, which in turn led to an increase in housing prices in other cities.
Such is the situation in England now.
Not only did the real estate market suddenly explode, but TV stations and newspapers also received a lot of public relations fees. Blindly advocating the theory that "housing prices are at a low point and will rise in the future". Create a scene of "London has less land and more people, and if you don't buy it, you have no chance".
The British government is very happy to see such prosperity.
If the real estate boom lasts for one or two years and survives the debt crisis, it will be fine to cool down the real estate at that time.
Anyway, this kind of thing has been done many times before, and they have long been familiar with it.
Therefore, neither the British government nor the central bank took any measures against the sudden boom in real estate. They just simply appealed to everyone to keep calm and think about the houses they want to buy as much as possible. High-priced houses have certain risks... and so on. .
If the government and the central bank do not make a statement, it is acquiescing.
The British are not fools, and immediately understood what they meant, so the housing prices in London, especially in several prosperous areas, directly rose again, almost reaching the point of 12%-15% before the policy was announced.
The higher the price, the more you buy. It's not just the talents of the Hua country who do this. This is a subconscious emotion of the entire human being.
Those who can really observe calmly are definitely a minority among the minority.
We are all ordinary people, and it is easy to follow blindly when we see others doing the same.
Therefore, the more skyrocketing housing prices are, the more people are looking to buy a house.
After all, the longer you wait, the more expensive the house price will be. Now the various costs of buying a house have dropped a lot, and the interest rate is even negligibly low. If you don’t buy a house earlier to live in, or to maintain and increase the value, why hesitate?
Ordinary people are entangled and fanatical about housing, but the manipulators behind the scenes have now opened champagne to celebrate, at least the first stage of hype has succeeded!
Don't think that only a few principals of Hengxin Investment Company were the ones who opened champagne to celebrate. Many real estate developers and fund management companies in the UK also joined in this feast of plundering wealth.
Such a big situation, with so many house prices rising, is definitely not something Liu Datou and his few outsiders can do.
Including several of the most famous asset management companies in the UK, including a large number of land tycoons in the UK, as well as the Duke Saatchi who had business dealings with Xiao Qi, etc., they all used their strength in it.
For land and real estate owners like them, isn't it a good way to make money by speculating real estate and selling it to ordinary people who take over?
The higher the price speculation, the more profits they make!
Not to mention others, Liu Datou, Yang Hua, Guan Shantang and Hou Mutai are sitting in the narrow office at the moment, drinking champagne and eating with smiles.
"Mr. Liu, you are really amazing!" Hou Mutai couldn't help admiring, "Although we have spent tens of millions of dollars in public relations fees, and buying and selling houses seems a bit cumbersome, the house price has been overwhelmed all of a sudden. It’s been so hyped up that we’ve hit 15% profit, which is an amazing achievement!”
"This is nothing." Liu Datou said proudly, "Just wait and see, now is just the beginning. The housing prices in London, at least the housing prices of these high-end apartments in prosperous areas, are far higher than the current prices. In the future, In two or three years, at least double! If we hype well, it is possible to double!"
"Well, the house is one aspect. We spent 2.8 billion US dollars, and the land cost 2 billion US dollars. Now the land price has risen by more than 5%, which is not bad." Yang Hua said slowly, "Those real estate developers have already started asking Many times we have, these guys, do you think everyone else is stupid?"
"Hehe, fortunately, Branson is here. Some people want to use some tricks, but they don't dare to speak after being scolded by Branson, and they just leave in despair." Guan Shantang sighed, "I thought before, Qishao was too generous to Branson. He didn’t give any funds, just 15% of the shares. Now I know how good Qishao is! Branson not only helped us take root here, but also provided us with everything Convenience, buying land is also due to his favor, go to the public relations first, otherwise, how can those arrogant British guys pay attention to us? Now that he can block the gun, he is indeed called a patron saint!"
"Everyone has his value. Qi Shao is not only a genius, but also an absolute hero!" Liu Datou said with a smile, "Not only Branson, my old Liu, but also you guys, not all of them Are you a talent? Qi Shao sent us here to let us display our talents and do a good job!"
After a pause, he continued, "Yesterday, I called Qi Shao and talked about the three of you. It was hard work for you to follow me here, so Qi Shao promised to give you 5% of the profit." as a dividend."
"Really?" Hou Mutai was surprised and delighted.
"Of course it's true." Liu Datou laughed, "After three or five years, when you return to China, you will all be billionaires!"
Hou Mutai grinned when he heard the words, Yang Hua and Guan Shantang were also full of excitement.
When chatting on weekdays, Liu Datou heard about their situation. This group of Wenzhou real estate speculators suffered heavy losses in Rongcheng. Not only did they lose all their money, but they also owed a whole lot of debt .
In the end, it was Xiao Qi's money that was borrowed to smooth out the debt.
But in exchange, the heads of the three real estate speculators must mention Xiao Qi's work for a few years.
During this period, they receive no salary other than living expenses.
How can you be unhappy when you hear that after hard work, you can get 5% of the net profit?
You know, 5% of the net profit is at least 300 million US dollars! If the real estate speculation goes well, it is not impossible to add more!
After all, Liu Datou felt that he should be able to make a net profit of 1 billion US dollars on this trip to the UK, which is almost equivalent to his previous total net worth!
If it has been developing in the UK, the family property will definitely increase, right?
The prospects for real estate development in the UK are much greater than those in Hong Kong! (to be continued ~^~)
