Chapter 160 Tianshuiwei (Third Update! Please Subscribe! Please Ask for a Monthly Pass!)
"Hey, Kazuo!"
Shao Yifu was not short, so when he stood up like this, someone suddenly greeted him.
Listening to this tone of voice, it is natural that he is of the same generation as him.
Shao Yifu looked towards the side where he was speaking, and saw a fat old man in his sixties or seventies walking over with a smile on his face.
"Pinggui!"
Looking at him, Shao Yifu showed a smile on his thin face, and stepped forward to shake hands with him, "Why are you here?"
"I just finished talking with someone, and I happened to come over to have a sip of authentic Malaysian coffee." The slightly fat old man looked at Yin Jun who stood up next to him, and said with a smile, "Your grandchildren?"
Shao Yifu laughed unconsciously, "I want to have such a grandson, I will wake up with a smile in my dreams!...Come on, Pinggui, let me introduce you, this is Yin Jun, the most famous screenwriter genius in Xiangjiang. Now The popular "Bao Qingtian", "Wulin Biography" and "Chu Liuxiang" are all his works."
"Oh?" The chubby old man cheered up, "You are Yin Jun who wrote "Bao Qingtian"? Tsk tsk, you are amazing! Among the young people nowadays, there are few young people who understand history, ancient etiquette, and opera art like you people!"
"Bao Qingtian" is very popular in Chinese circles, not only young people and aunts, but also many old people like it, because its expression is close to opera in many aspects, especially Wei Xiaofan's performance, absolutely The proper niche style, very conspicuous.
Only then did Shao Yifu introduce to Yin Jun, "This is my old friend Zhao Pinggui. Their Zhao family is a super landlord in Tianshuiwei, the absolute first family! And old Zhao is one of the elders of the Zhao family."
Yin Jun's eyes lit up unconsciously, "Hello, Mr. Zhao!"
Speaking of Tianshuiwei, many people may not know where it is, but if you talk about the "Tianshuiwei Two Parts" filmed by the famous director Xu Anhua, I believe many people have seen it.
Tianshuiwei, a well-known and seriously underdeveloped area, has various problems. After the economic recession in Xiangjiang, it became more and more prominent.
That's why Xu Anhua made two consecutive films about it to discuss the root causes of various problems contained in it.
And this Tianshuiwei, that is, most of the land in Tianshuiwei we see today, basically belongs to the Zhao family in Tianshuiwei.
In the 1970s, they owned a full 488 hectares of land in Tin Shui Wai, Yuen Long, or a land area of 4.88 million square meters. Such a huge land reserve is definitely the number one family in Xiangjiang.
But because Tianshuiwei is too remote, and the Zhao family has limited strength, they can't develop it by themselves, so in 1978, that is, this year, they negotiated with Cheung Kong Group and Wheelock & Co., planning to convert all the land into shares , and set up a joint venture company with them to jointly develop such a large piece of land.
After lengthy negotiations, in June this year, the Zhao family's family fund, Liande Trust, took out a total of 25 million square feet and a total of 232.26 hectares of land, accounting for almost half of all their land, and sold it to Li Chaoren's Cheung Kong Group and Wheelock & Co.
The condition of the sale is not a simple direct cash transaction, but after the Cheung Kong Group and Wheelock & Co. have purchased the huge land, they will then inject the land into the Lander Trust and occupy part of the shares of the Lander Trust. And promised to develop the 25 million square feet of land within a certain period of time.
The prices of these lands are kept secret, but Yin Jun, who has read some information about Li Chaoren's fortune, knows that the price of these lands is only 1.5 yuan per square foot! !
Now the land price of high-end commercial housing in the prime area of Xiangjiang City has reached as high as 800-1500 yuan per square foot, and as long as it can be called the city center, it is also 400-800 yuan per square foot. ——For example, Mei Foo Sun Chuen and Taikoo Shing are like this.
Even in the remote Tai Po District, the land price is 300-600 yuan per square foot.
Although the average price of land in Yuen Long in the New Territories is as low as 100-400 yuan per square foot, the price of land in Tin Shui Wai on the edge of Yuen Long is the lowest in Xiangjiang, perhaps less than 80 yuan, but now it is only 1.5 yuan per square foot. The price per square foot is simply not available in the market!
yes!
Tin Shui Wai is the poorest and backward area in Xiangjiang. This Tin Shui Wai area is located in the north of Yuen Long in the New Territories. It is only separated from the Nan Wan West District by a narrow Nan Wan Bay. Therefore, countless people from the mainland are the first place to choose to live. , basically this is here, and this is the place where the bottom-level residents of Xiangjiang live together. All kinds of people are together, which makes it very chaotic.
In addition, Tianshuiwei is too remote, not to mention that the subway here has no plan for ten or eight years, and the transportation is also very primitive. Not to mention the pitiful number of BUS lines, the time is also very tricky. After seven or eight years If you order the bus, you will not come here. If you want to go back to Tianshuiwei, you can either drive or take the convenient transportation within the electric tricycle.
To put it bluntly, this is a place where even the daughters of poor families don't want to marry.
This is the bottom of the Xiangjiang River, and it is easy to forget compared to Tiu Keng Leng—at least Tiu Keng Leng is on the Kwun Tong side, and it is about 2 hours’ drive and boat ride from the most prosperous Hong Kong Island.
Therefore, the land price here has been unable to go up.
But this is not the reason for 1.5 yuan per square foot.
If this price is quoted, it is guaranteed that thousands of Xiangjiang people will come to buy land and repair houses tomorrow.
The real reason is that the Zhao family wants to jointly develop Tin Shui Wai through cooperation with Cheung Kong Group and Wheelock, and build it into a large-scale housing estate, so that it will become standardized and more modernization.
Only in this way, the remaining 250 hectares of land in their hands can be worth billions or even billions of Hong Kong dollars. The houses built can satisfy hundreds of Zhao family members just by renting them out. Have a good time leisurely.
Now there is nothing here in Tianshuiwei. If they don't make a big profit, how can Cheung Kong and Wheelock be willing to come here to develop?
Not to mention anything else, just the transportation of construction machinery, and the development and construction of surrounding roads, etc., are all expensive tasks without enough benefits. How could they come to such a remote place to develop real estate?
That's why the cabbage price of 1.5 yuan per square foot appeared.
On the whole, although the Zhao family is at a disadvantage right now, if they act according to their estimates, ten years later, the Zhao family will become the leading real estate family in Xiangjiang, with countless real estate properties, enough for all their descendants Enjoy a comfortable life.
It's a pity that in this world, only Yin Jun knows that Tianshuiwei is a super big pit.
Whether it is Cheung Kong Group, Wheelock or Derun, they have never played around in Tin Shui Wai.
The Kingswood Villa developed by the most outstanding Cheung Kong Group in Tin Shui Wai only built about 100 hectares of land, occupying a little more than 20% of the land.
The rest is basically a pit. The government has built a large number of public housing here, and many low-income residents live here. Because of the lack of economic consumption support, the business here has not been able to develop.
If the business cannot develop, the supporting facilities will not follow, and if the supporting facilities are not perfect, the people with middle and high incomes will not relocate here. Only the poor will live here. Because of poverty, many problems have arisen... This is an endless loop.
It is precisely this endless loop that makes Tianshuiwei the poorest and most backward area in Xiangjiang even in 2020.
Li Chaoren's Cheung Kong Industry has made a lot of money from here and left, but the development of Tianshuiwei that they promised the Zhao family at the beginning is completely empty talk, and their sense of responsibility is completely unqualified.
Think about it.
The land cost of Cheung Kong Group is only 1.5 yuan per square foot. Even if it is repurchased by the government later, the cost is not higher than 100 yuan per square foot. The price per square foot is 1850 yuan! In 1996, it skyrocketed to 2936 yuan! The last batch was launched in 1997, and the selling price has exceeded $4,000 psf!
Cheung Kong Group earned at least 15 billion Hong Kong dollars from Tin Shui Wai, but they did not bring vitality and hope to Tin Shui Wai, but instead destroyed this fragile place even more.
If Cheung Kong Group follows the plan discussed with the Zhao family before, earnestly develops and completes the supporting facilities, even if Tianshuiwei is still not rich in the future, it will definitely not be as it was in 2020, and it will definitely be much better.
...
When Yin Jun came back from his thoughts, Zhao Pinggui had almost finished chatting with Shao Yifu.
Zhao Pinggui and Yin Jun said a few words before saying goodbye to Shao Yifu and returning to his own place.
Yin Jun could see that he was the only one in his place, because there was only one cup and one plate.
After saying goodbye to Shao Yifu at the door of the coffee shop, Yin Jun stood at the door thinking for a while, then walked into the coffee shop again, and came to Zhao Pinggui's side.
"Mr. Zhao, can I sit here?" Yin Jun asked politely.
Zhao Pinggui, who was reading the newspaper, was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay!"
After sitting down, Yin Jun asked the waiter to serve him another cup of milk tea, and then asked slowly: "Mr. Zhao, I read the news two months ago, and I heard that you sold a lot of land to Changshi Group and Huide rich?"
"Well, yes." Zhao Pinggui smiled. Most of the transactions between Liande Trust, Cheung Kong Group, and Wheelock have been announced to the outside world, but the specific land area and price are still somewhat vague.
"So, I wonder if you are interested in selling some more land?" Yin Jun asked with a smile, his eyes were surprisingly clear.
