Chapter 1496 A Big Deal!
With an idea in mind, Le Yiling asked Yin Jun about specific matters.
"Do you know how much money will be used to build this piece of reclaimed land in Wan Chai, how many workers will be needed to build it, and how many interest disputes will be involved?" Le Yiling said, "First of all, the trade and development The Bureau is not a good one. If it weren’t for them being too greedy, this land would have been developed long ago! Can our Qilin Group allow them to take advantage of it like this? "
Le Yiling was indeed the president of Qilin Group, and he got the key point in just one sentence.
Two or three years ago, when Xiangjiang real estate was booming, Jian Yueqiang had actually obtained MacLehose's commitment.
As long as there is a good plan, the Hong Kong government will grant land at its discretion.
But why has no one obtained the development rights to that land?
Isn’t it just that the HKTDC asks for too much?
The most exaggerated thing is that two years ago, Hang Lung Group took advantage of the power of acquiring the properties above the nine subway stations of the Hong Kong Island Line to negotiate with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, hoping to win this sector with the most development potential in Hong Kong in one fell swoop.
But in the end Chen Qizong gave up on this matter.
Even someone as bold as Chen Qizong did not dare to cooperate. This shows how much the HKTDC demands.
Only later did someone reveal the conditions of the Trade Development Council.
If the land acquired by the HKTDC needs to be compensated for the land price, no matter how much the land price is, the HKTDC will not pay a penny.
In addition, the HKTDC does not care about the cost of design and construction.
But after the final completion, not only does the Convention and Exhibition Center belong to the HKTDC, half of the entire development rights belong to the HKTDC.
This means that all the costs are borne by the developer, but in the end I can only get half of the equity.
It involves an investment of more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars and a construction and development time of more than 5 years.
If real estate in Xiangjiang continues to skyrocket, the problem is not too big, but where can there be long-lasting business?
Based on the situation in Xiangjiang at that time, Chen Qizong knew that problems would arise within three to five years at most.
If by that time, this sector happens to be developed and Hong Kong's economy suffers a big downturn, wouldn't it be impossible to even cry?
The subsequent developments include the various landslides that started last year and the sharp decline in September...
This also confirmed everyone's judgment that it was the right decision not to accept the HKTDC's request.
Although no one is talking about the convention and exhibition center project now, this does not mean that the HKTDC will lower its requirements.
Because they are always buying and selling without capital.
Land is given by the government.
The funding and construction are all done by the developer.
They're all just sitting back and enjoying the benefits, so what's there to worry about?
If a group as big as the Kirin Group catches up and wants to develop with them, it would be strange if they don't speak loudly and make many unrealistic demands.
When Yin Jun heard this, he couldn't help but smile, "Sister, one moment and another moment. Huaying's fourth negotiation failed just a few days ago. The exchange rate has also made everyone panic these days. How many people do you think there are in Xiangjiang? Do you believe that we can still maintain prosperity? If the mainland regains Hong Kong, do you think we can still get the Trade Development Bureau land? Even if we get it, will it be confiscated because it is government property? What’s up?”
"That's true, but I know Deng Lianru is not that simple. She is not the kind of person who follows what others say!" Le Yiling said sternly, "Even if it is very difficult now, she will definitely not give up. Not to mention that they will not sacrifice the interests of the Trade Development Council to make us make a lot of money."
After a pause, she added, "Especially if we talk about it, the meaning will be even different! With the involvement of the Qilin Group, even if the mainland regains Xiangjiang, there is no need to worry about it being taken back!"
The young man nodded slightly.
What Le Yiling said is correct.
Historically, Deng Lianru did not give in even a step.
Zheng Yutong's New World Development, even if it negotiated with the Trade Development Council at such a difficult time, it paid a huge price to obtain the joint development rights.
Kirin Group and New World Development are not the same.
In the previous life, New World Development, after building the New World Center in Tsim Sha Tsui, became one of the top five Chinese-owned real estate groups in Hong Kong, with great strength and confidence.
But the Kirin Group in this world is much stronger than the development in the new world.
The Kirin Group, which owes nearly 6 billion US dollars in debt, is like a super giant. Its entire size is almost comparable to that of Jardine Matheson, the largest group in Hong Kong!
Moreover, the Kirin Group itself has the largest construction company in Hong Kong, with about 30,000 workers, all of whom are extremely outstanding construction talents.
With Qilin Group focusing on development, it is more reliable than New World Development.
The most important thing is that, as Le Yiling said, the relationship between Qilin Group and the mainland is so good. After the mainland takes control of Xiangjiang, it will definitely not take over Yin Jun’s assets. In that case, who else among overseas Chinese would dare to fight with them? Deal with? You guys are going to rip off people like Yin Jun. We guys with small arms and legs can’t afford to hide if you can’t offend us?
Therefore, since Kirin Group has given the greatest security guarantee, what else is the Trade Development Council afraid of having its assets confiscated and completely reimbursed?
Then they will be even more unscrupulous when it comes to taking advantage of their rights and interests.
"Sister, actually they are just standing on the surface." Yin Jun pondered for a moment and decided to tell Le Yiling a secret, "If we do this project, the Xiangjiang government will not ask us to compensate for the land price. of."
Le Yiling: "!?"
Seeing the disbelief on her face, Yin Jun repeated his words seriously and said: "Only a few people know about this matter now, not even Deng Lianru. Sister, when you negotiate with her, just You can make good use of this news!”
Le Yiling suddenly realized, "Governor Youde has made a promise to you? No wonder you want to take this deal!"
In the previous life of the Convention and Exhibition Center project, Zheng Yutong was taken advantage of by the Trade Development Bureau. Everyone thought that he would be burdened with huge debts.
Unexpectedly, Deng Lianru went to the Hong Kong government to argue her case. In addition, the time was critical, and the Hong Kong government was also interested in building such a landmark building to showcase the development and prosperity of Hong Kong and to reassure the people of Hong Kong. , so in the end, this land of hundreds of thousands of square feet was provided free of charge, without paying a penny of the land price!
Just like that, Zheng Yutong saved at least 500-600 million yuan in land price in one fell swoop. The development of the New World felt like he had received a reassurance, and he suddenly became more at ease.
Everyone said that Zheng Yutong was just lucky enough to get such a big bargain. If we had known in advance, we would have been willing to take over the project of this convention and exhibition center!
But these hindsights never thought that if Shark Dantong had not dared to go upstream and take such a big risk to accept this contract when he didn't know anything, he would have been able to enjoy the benefits of the free land price later. ?
If you didn't take that step in difficult times, why should you enjoy the sunshine after the rain?
But Yin Jun couldn't tell Le Yiling about this matter.
Although I knew the outcome, I couldn't tell anyone about this kind of uncertainty.
So he deliberately misled Le Yiling, making Le Yiling think that it was a promise made by Youde to Yin Jun in order to stabilize the situation in Xiangjiang.
In other words, it was a reward for Yin Jun.
Thinking about it this way, it makes perfect sense.
Le Yiling would naturally believe it.
And she knew that it was absolutely impossible for Yin Jun to joke about this matter. He must have had such a thing before he dared to say it.
After figuring out this level, Le Yiling's mind immediately started to work, "Put the drawings here, and I will immediately ask the people in the company to start making budgets and plans, and try to get it done within a month. ... No, I'm ready. I took the drawings to talk to Deng Lianru in the past two days. Xiangjiang is in a panic now, and I believe she also hopes to get good news at this time."
Le Yiling has always done things vigorously and resolutely, and this time is no exception.
She just wants to seize the current panic opportunity and appear in front of the Trade Development Bureau like a savior, so that she can take the great initiative.
Even if a lot of benefits are given away in the end, it will always be beneficial to Qilin Group.
Coincidentally, Yin Jun also knew that Deng Lianru was also such a person, so as long as there was no substantial conflict between the two, it would be quite pleasant to cooperate.
"Ajun, have you ever considered how much it will cost to make it?" Le Yiling asked again.
"About 3 billion Hong Kong dollars!" Yin Jun reported a number.
In the previous life, New World Development spent a total of HK$2 billion on the convention and exhibition center project.
But they did not have a super luxurious and high-end project like the Sands Hotel, so Yin Jun increased the budget by 1 billion.
Don't underestimate the spaceship on top of the Sands Hotel. The various technologies, mechanics and other principles involved in it are very particular.
The specific design alone requires a lot of effort, and the construction process is even more sloppy.
The Sands Hotel can be built so perfectly because of money, otherwise it would not be known as one of the most expensive hotels.
Since we are building a landmark building and making it the first in Hong Kong, we cannot be stingy with money.
Making the convention and exhibition center project perfect is more important than saving money!
If the bird's nest hadn't been reserved for Hua Jing, Yin Jun would have made a bird's nest.
Even if the Water Cube is not available, it can still be used as an exhibition venue!
"3 billion..."
Le Yiling thought about it for a while and nodded slowly.
If 3 billion Hong Kong dollars are allocated at one time, it will definitely be a big burden for Kirin Group.
But if 3 billion is spread over about five years, it means nothing.
Looking at the drawings on the table again, Le Yiling sighed softly, but her face was filled with pride.
In this world, my younger brother is called the best genius in the world, and there is really nothing wrong with that.
Such a hotel can be designed by him. How many shocking ideas does he have hidden in his mind?
