Chapter 1524 Fatty!

When the Sino-British negotiations were blocked, Hong Kong's stock market, land market and real estate market were all covered with dark clouds.

In other words, in Xiangjiang's economy, except for those export-oriented factories and trade, all local operations in Xiangjiang have more or less problems.

Even 7-11, which has been developing rapidly recently, has historically experienced negative growth in profits, falling 5% compared to the same period last year.

On the contrary, PARKnSHOP imported a large amount of cheap vegetables, meat, fruits and vegetables from mainland China, which greatly stabilized people's hearts and also achieved excellent results.

In the past two months, PARKnSHOP's sales have soared 580%, far surpassing Wellcome Supermarket, a subsidiary of Dairy Farm, and has officially become the unique overlord in Hong Kong.

It's just that this state is definitely abnormal, and Li Chaoren has no idea of ​​using PARKnSHOP as a dumping ground for cheap goods.

Once this crisis passes, Parknshop will definitely not take the low-cost route, but will focus on the middle class and white-collar workers in Hong Kong.

Those aunts who care about even a penny are more suitable for specialized farmers' markets.

At least 80% of the people in Xiangjiang need to save money and save money to survive this difficult time.

Even the employees of Kirin Group, who have the highest salary and the most secure job, now dare not mention buying a house. Most of them have also started saving money, hoping to wait until the crisis.

Many people are still saving U.S. dollars, but they no longer have the will to exchange them for U.S. dollars.

After all, behind the Hong Kong dollar is the Hong Kong government, and behind the Hong Kong government is the United Kingdom.

The UK will naturally not go bankrupt, so the Hong Kong dollar will naturally not either.

Salaries paid by Kirin Group have always been in Hong Kong dollars, even when the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate was at its lowest, it has not changed.

The employees of Kirin Group rarely received their salary, so they went to exchange U.S. dollars regardless of the exchange rate.

The main reason is that they believe in Yin Jun.

Facts have proved that trusting Mr. Jun was a very correct decision. Now the Hong Kong dollar has restored its previous value and has become valuable again.

Just in the past few days, the Xiangjiang government officially announced an announcement.

Regarding the newly reclaimed land area in Wan Chai, 10 acres will be set aside for development by the Trade Development Council and built into a landmark building group in Hong Kong.

It goes without saying how valuable the reclaimed land in Wan Chai is.

These 10 acres of land, no matter how bad the world is today, are worth at least 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is more expensive than land in Central.

Unexpectedly, the Hong Kong government actually gave the entire land to the Trade Development Council.

The most important thing is that there is no compensation of one cent for the land price, it is completely given to the Trade Development Council for free.

According to this pattern, if you get this land, even if you deduct the part given to the Trade Development Bureau, the rest will be a huge profit. The profit will start at least 2 billion!

Before the real estate developers could get excited collectively, the Trade Development Council issued an announcement almost at the same time.

"This bureau has reached a development agreement with Kirin Group. Within the next five years, Xiangjiang's landmark convention and exhibition center, high-end hotels, apartments, etc. will be built."

As soon as the news came out, many people were shocked.

Well, actually ordinary people are surprised too.

Because Deng Lianru and the others had held several meetings at the Trade Development Council to discuss cooperation with the Kirin Group, the news had long been revealed.

Large real estate developers all have reservations about this.

What hinders them most from targeting this piece of coastal land reclamation is, firstly, the current uncertain real estate situation in Xiangjiang, and secondly, the high amount of land compensation.

However, the real estate developers did not expect that the Hong Kong government actually gave such a large piece of land to the Trade Development Council for free, which also made it cheaper for the Kirin Group.

According to some details disclosed by the HKTDC, in addition to building the convention and exhibition center for free, Kirin Group will also donate two 50-story high-end office buildings behind the convention and exhibition center to the HKTDC.

What Qilin Group obtained was three serviced apartments and a super large and super luxurious hotel.

Serviced apartments are okay, but this ultra-luxury large hotel is a bit strange.

Because it is said that it has 66 floors and three main buildings, which has never been seen in the history of Xiangjiang Hotel.

However, there is news from within the Trade Development Bureau that Deng Lianru and others like and favor this hotel the most. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Kirin Group to impress the Trade Development Bureau.

This is a bit surprising.

Is it even better than the Mandarin Oriental Hotel? Better than the Peninsula Hotel?

Before the drawings were revealed, everyone was skeptical.

But no matter what, Yin Jun's attitude of hitting hard is very obvious.

The overall budget jointly announced by the Trade Development Council and Kirin Group is as high as HK$5 billion.

I really don't know what is going to be built that is worth spending so much money on.

Although Yin Jun is very rich, 5 billion Hong Kong dollars is not 5 billion rice. Even if it is 5 billion rice, it will still fill a lot of warehouses, right?

However, this time no one thought that Yin Jun was crazy or trying to hold on.

After making several consecutive choices that were contrary to almost everyone's and succeeded, now when people encounter people who think differently from Yin Jun, they will think about where they went wrong instead of thinking about Yin Jun's possible failure. .

Thanks to Yin Jun, the property market in Xiangjiang is still sluggish recently, but it no longer has a plummeting trend. There is still a decline, but it is no longer the kind of panic-inducing decline.

The execution ability of Xiangjiang people is famous in the world.

Just after the Hong Kong government, the Trade Development Council, and the Kirin Group successively announced plans for the Wan Chai coastal reclamation, just two days later, an engineering team of more than 5,000 people drove various mechanical vehicles and entered the land reclamation area.

Immediately, mountains of various materials, including steel bars, cement, river sand, iron frames, etc., were also transported to the construction site.

Xiangjiang's construction materials industry has also received a small boost.

Qilin Construction Company has placed a material order of more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars for them. In this season, which is even colder than the twelfth lunar month of winter, having such a large order is a life-saving help!

What is a little depressing are other construction companies, because Qilin Group uses workers from its own construction company and does not hire anyone from other construction companies.

In addition to the construction industry, various livelihood industries are also very welcoming to the construction of the convention and exhibition center project.

Kirin Group is famous for spending money lavishly in Xiangjiang, and it provides very complete welfare protection for its employees.

Whether it is various construction uniforms, labor protection items, consumable items, etc., the purchase volume during the five-year construction period cannot be underestimated.

If the CEO of Qilin Group were not Le Yiling, given Yin Jun's character, he would probably be able to extravagantly waste twice the price.

What everyone didn't know was that while everyone was discussing, Le Yiling was scolding Yin Jun in the office.

"Did you give in too much?" Le Yiling frowned, "According to the current situation, if it weren't for us, there would be no one to take over! The Trade Development Council's plan can only be postponed for a few more years! And if it weren't for us, , Unless you have made great contributions to Xiangjiang, can the Xiangjiang government consider completely waiving the 1.2 billion compensation for the land price?"

The specific negotiations were conducted by Le Yiling.

However, Le Yiling didn't know that the Xiangjiang government would waive all land prices. She thought it might be a reduction of 3.5 billion, or even 6.7 billion.

But I didn’t expect that it would be free of charge!

If you put it this way, the Trade Development Bureau has taken a big advantage, which makes Le Yiling feel quite unwilling.

If Le Yiling had known earlier, she would definitely have given only one office building to the HKTDC in addition to the convention and exhibition center.

But now they are almost given an extra office building worth 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. Given Le Yiling's stingy character, she naturally feels distressed.

One billion is just the construction cost. If the Trade Development Council sells it in the future, it will be no problem if it is sold for two to three billion.

If we follow the development trajectory of Xiangjiang real estate that Yin Jun thinks, 10 billion for a building will not be a problem.

Thinking of 10 billion flying away in the palm of her hand, Le Yiling felt heartbroken.

It was already hard for her to criticize Yin Jun on weekdays, but now she couldn't help but blame him.

The young man was not angry and said with a smile: "Sister, as the saying goes, taking a loss is taking advantage... Originally, this time the Hong Kong government exempted us from land price compensation, but many people gossiped. In this way, we shared part of the profit to the Trade Development Council , no matter in any aspect, there is an explanation.”

"Have we been talked about less in the past two years?" Le Yiling's eyes narrowed, "For example, the land in Tianshuiwei is said to be cheaper to sell to us... Now I'm selling it to them at the original price, you ask them if they want it ?I don’t want them all, but I’m still saying slanderous words. I finally understand these people! Don’t talk to them at all in the future, so as not to make me angry!”

"That's right." Yin Jun nodded repeatedly, "We at Qilin Group do our own thing, why should we care about what they do? As long as we have more than 100,000 employees, no one in Xiangjiang would dare to touch us!"

"100,000?" Le Yiling was startled, "Now we have 70,000 people, why do you want to add so many more? What are you doing here?"

"It should be useful in the future." Yin Jun smiled, "But there's no rush now, I haven't thought about it yet!"

"Don't get things wrong. Our most important thing is comics, film, television and record entertainment. Only by laying a good foundation for these can you have the time to do other things." Le Yiling warned, "Including the mainland, You can’t invest too much there, this time Qilin Plaza is the ultimate, do you hear me?”

"I know."

Yin Jun nodded.

Needless to say, the teenager would not invest any more.

Because apart from what is happening now, within three to five years, Yin Jun's main overseas focus will be on mining and building roads in Australia.

For this project that will bring huge benefits and prestige to Kirin Group in the next 50 years, it is worth delaying many original plans!
