Chapter 2853 The Booming British Real Estate Market
June basically belongs to the World Cup. Even the summit meetings of several countries will watch football together, which shows how attractive football is.
It's a pity that there are too many criticisms of professional football, that is, British football can earn some money, and there is also a unique Bayern team. The rest of the league teams are basically not good, and many of them rely on boss subsidies to survive.
Compared to a company, the speed at which football swallows money is much faster. It is easy to lose 200 to 300 million US dollars a year, just like playing games.
The most expensive ones are naturally the Spanish duo, and they are also the two most famous teams in the world in recent years-Real Madrid and Barcelona.
It's just that both of them are member teams. If there is no money, those wealthy members will rush to help them fill the holes, buy better players, and pay higher salaries.
In this regard, football is not as good as American competitive sports.
Competitive sports in the United States basically do not lose money, and basically everyone benefits--fans are happy to watch, teams are happy to make money, players are laughing with their salaries, and advertisers are satisfied with the advertising effect.
Such a virtuous circle is the biggest driving force for the development of a competitive sports.
Therefore, even if Xiao Qi wanted to buy a football team, he didn't implement it in the end. He just helped Tang Mingxiang buy the New York Yankees.
During the World Cup, Europeans were actually more obsessed than Chinese people.
On the one hand, they like football more, and on the other hand, their team is still fighting inside, how could they not pay attention?
That's what British football fans are.
Although the UK is unique in that it has three football teams that can play in intercontinental competitions alone, but British football has never been good.
Especially after the players of Gascoigne's generation got old, the players of this generation basically rely on bragging, which is similar to the Huaguo team. Gao, but in the end, without exception, ended in tragedy.
It can also be seen from this that a league is popular and has good results. It doesn't mean that your national players are good.
This point seems to be similar to Huaguo football.
Well, let's leave this topic aside, anyway, there is no hope for Huaguo football in the next ten or twenty years. It's just asking for trouble.
In June in the UK, the streets and alleys were filled with the atmosphere of the World Cup, and the bars everywhere were overcrowded. Cheers, noise and curses came from the bars from time to time.
It's not just the British who watch the game. For example, some bars are patronized by immigrant Africans. There are also some bars owned by Brazilians, and there are bars dedicated to immigrants from other South American countries, including China, Japan, and South Korea. Everyone sees their own and supports their own.
But the problem is, after the game is over, everyone is almost drunk.
If the fans of two victorious teams meet, that's not bad. Everyone can sing and chat shoulder to shoulder to celebrate the victory.
If fans of two losing teams meet, or even fans of teams that have played each other directly. That's not so nice.
Therefore, the number of nighttime alarms in the UK surged in June, and it was basically caused by drunk fans.
As a result, the police are usually on duty 24 hours a day, and some police officers who like football are so angry that they yell at each other. In the end, the police station had to urgently arrange a TV for them to put in the lounge to calm down their anger.
In this lively atmosphere, there is another business in Britain that is very lively.
That's their real estate.
Since the subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis, the British government has adopted support policies to support the development of British real estate.
On the one hand, it is to reduce the taxes of home buyers, and on the other hand, it increases the support for home purchases with loans. Adding it all up, it actually saves more than 20% of the money than before.
Now the residents of the UK are unstable, especially the residents of the capital London, where there are not many good houses. In order to create a good environment for themselves and their children, white-collar workers took out loans to buy houses one after another. While they were burdened with huge debts, real estate prices were also fired up.
It is certainly not correct to say that real estate is speculated by buyers.
British real estate agents are smart. Seeing that the government has given such a big discount, there is no reason to be taken advantage of by those mud legs, so we raised the price, a big price increase!
They also know what is hoarding and selling, and what is speculation from left-handed to right-handed. Housing prices have slowly risen since January.
But this group of people is still no match for professional talents.
Liu Datou and Wenzhou trio are professionals many times better than them.
They don't go directly into the housing field to speculate, but directly speculate on the source - the land.
It is also only left handed and right handed. Today the price of this land is only 500 million pounds, and next week it will be 530 million pounds. After another week, it will be 580 million pounds!
Other real estate agents saw it, hey, the land price has gone up, I have no reason not to raise the price of the house, so I have to follow this increase, so as not to suffer!
As a result, the price of the house also increased again, and the real estate businessmen were unwilling to lag behind, and each of them was scrambling to set the house price higher.
Liu Datou saw the right time, and put the entire house he bought on the market, and directly hired hundreds of people to line up two or three days in advance, making the atmosphere in the market tense again.
Home buyers see that the land here is rising and housing prices are also rising. Seeing that buying a week in advance can save a lot of money, why hesitate?
They rushed into the sales hall one after another, snapping up the houses they wanted like Chinese cabbages that cost no money.
Real estate developers have invested a lot of money in advertising on the TV station. When the TV station removes these panic buying scenes, it will cause more panic in people's hearts. They are afraid that the good house will be gone the next moment if they buy it late, and the house that is almost there will also skyrocket. rise.
Now everything is depreciating, everything is falling, and only the house is the most valuable thing. No matter how you buy it, you can count it as having a home. It is not afraid that it will be useless like buying stocks!
Under all kinds of persecution and panic, the house prices in the UK went from a slow rise in January this year, to a rapid rise in February and March, and then to an accelerated rise in April and May.
By June, house prices in London had skyrocketed by 75% in half a year without knowing it! The average house price in the UK has also risen by more than 30%!
Land prices have risen even more. Compared with the year-on-year price of last year, the average transaction price of land in London has directly increased by 143%. If this batch of land is built into houses and put on the market, London house prices will have to rise by another 60-70%!
Such a rate of price increase has stunned even the British real estate sector.
In this way, not only were all the concessions given by the British government taken up by the real estate developers, but the people also paid a lot more.
But it's impossible for them to stop it.
Because of the booming real estate transactions and the sharp rise in real estate prices, it means that the British economy will be stimulated, and all real estate-related industries will be able to operate, reducing the impact of the financial crisis on the UK.
If the British government suppresses real estate backhand, not only real estate will collapse immediately, but the British economy will not be able to withstand such a blow, and it will easily collapse too!
At this time, the British government felt that it had been kidnapped by real estate developers and could not step down.
Real estate businessmen don't care about this. Since the country has allowed the development of real estate and supported the real estate industry, it's time for them to make a lot of money.
All real estate businessmen and land businessmen who were prepared during this financial crisis have all gained huge profits.
For example, the actually richest man in Britain—the Duke of Saatchi, he got the exact news through Xiao Qi’s cooperation on the movie theater line, and completed the layout of the real estate in advance. And selling land, or developing real estate, made a lot of money all of a sudden, and the assets increased by more than 2 billion pounds.
The old Duke was so happy that he sent Xiao Qi a few exquisite antiques from the Song Dynasty brought back by his ancestors when they "traveled" in Huaguo to express his gratitude.
He is not considered the earliest layout, nor is he the one who earns the most.
It is Hengxin Investment Company that has the earliest layout and earns the most!
This Xiao Qi invested 5 billion US dollars into the company, and he only holds 70% of the shares. The remaining 30% of the shares, half of the shares are given to Branson, who provides network resources and various conveniences, and the other half is 15%. Liu Datou, who is in charge of the specific operation.
Liu Datou went to the UK in 2007 to prepare for the layout, and it didn't start to explode until 2009, and it has been out of control since then.
By speculating on the land and the purchased buildings, the capital of 5 billion US dollars has already made huge profits.
In addition to the 7.1 billion U.S. dollars already in the pocket, Hengxin Investment Company still has more than 6 billion U.S. dollars worth of land in its hands. Judging from the current situation of one price of land per day, by next year, the value of these lands may directly increase. Breakthrough to more than 12 billion US dollars!
If it is done well, and the land merchants and real estate merchants continue to cooperate, after two or three years, the price of this batch of land may directly become sky-high!
Think about it, ignoring more profits in the future, in less than two years, 5 billion US dollars has become more than 13 billion US dollars. This speed of making money is simply faster than printing money!
Such super lucrative profits, not to mention the Wenzhou trio's mouth watering, even Liu Datou, who is used to speculating in real estate in Hong Kong, couldn't help being agitated.
It's so easy to make money like this! (~^~)
