Chapter 1697 To Suffer a Loss Is to Take Advantage

After listening to Le Yiling's explanation, many reporters didn't pay much attention to the purchase of Lanzhou Island.

But they certainly couldn't imagine what Yin Jun's real use was for Lanzhou Island.

Five years from the previous life, construction of the new Chek Lap Kok Airport in Hong Kong will officially begin. It will take five years of construction before the new airport will be officially opened.

Where is it built?

It is Chek Lap Kok on Lantau Island. Lam Chau Island is originally a very remote place, but it is also right on the edge of Chek Lap Kok.

The land in Chek Lap Kok is not enough to build a large international airport, so the Hong Kong government thought of a way to reclaim land between Chek Lap Kok and Lan Chau Island to connect the two places, thus forming a A large piece of flat land for the construction of an international airport.

Yin Jun knew this allusion. On the way to the city by car from the airport, the tour guide told Yin Jun this.

But in the previous life, Lanzhou Island had no owner and belonged to the government. They did not need to pay any compensation for building a new airport on the edge of this deserted island.

But now that Yin Jun knows, of course he can take advantage.

He first bought Lanzhou Island and filmed "Jurassic Park" in the past few years. Before he could turn Lanzhou Island into a theme park, it was the government's turn to build a new airport.

At that time, if the government inspects it, it will find that part of the area most suitable for building a new airport actually belongs to Yin Jun.

Either they have to re-select the site, or they have to discuss with Yin Jun how to compensate for the demolition and relocation.

Yin Jun is definitely willing to sell the land to them at a high price. With this money, whether Yin Jun buys land in Xiangjiang or goes to the mainland to develop his own business, it will be a good windfall!

So despite the fact that the Hong Kong government is happy to sell the deserted island of Lanzhou Island at a high price now, they will not know until a few years later that they will have to spend several times or even more to buy this deserted island back.

I think their faces must have looked pretty good at that time, right?

To be honest, Yin Jun did not expect that the Hong Kong government sold the wasteland on Lantau Island for such a high price this time.

Le Yiling felt even more uncomfortable and once wanted to suspend the negotiations and "let them calm down."

Queen Le wants to buy land on Lantau Island at the ultra-low price of NT$20 per square foot.

Because in her opinion, first of all, no one wanted the wasteland, that is, the Qilin Group could turn waste into treasure, so she reluctantly came to buy the land here.

Your government has made billions of Hong Kong dollars in vain. Why are you unhappy?

Also, if our Kirin Group develops the economy here, how many jobs will it bring to the residents of Xiangjiang, and how much tax revenue will it bring to the government?

These are all beneficial to the Xiangjiang government!

So in fact, if you give us these lands for free, we won’t suffer any loss, let alone earn so much money.

The results of it?

The government quoted a sky-high price of 150 yuan per square foot, which made Le Yiling almost flip the table on the spot.

At the end of the negotiation, we finally came to 100 yuan per square foot, and we could no longer negotiate.

Le Yiling's original intention was not to talk about it, but I wasn't in a hurry anyway.

But under Yin Jun's persuasion, and knowing Yin Jun's estimation of the future of Hong Kong and the economy of Hong Kong, Le Yiling could only give up the idea of ​​waiting for another two years.

After all, China is very likely to have good negotiations with Britain by this year or next year at the latest.

Once there is no chance of using force and peace returns, then Hong Kong's economy, which has hit bottom, will definitely rebound violently.

This includes the land price.

If you don't buy it now, I'm afraid that when the land in Xiangjiang becomes more and more valuable, the Xiangjiang government will not sell such a large piece of land again.

In other words, for such a large piece of land, the price will be completely different by then.

It is very likely that it will create a sky-high price that is even more expensive than it is now.

Considering the role of such a large piece of land to Qilin Group, Le Yiling chose to compromise.

However, she did not let go of the Hong Kong government. She asked the government to make guarantees on the construction of various infrastructures and the transportation connection issues between the bustling urban area and Lantau Island.

Yoder and the others discussed this request and readily agreed.

The transportation connecting Lantau Island and the city will definitely not be funded by the government. They will still put it out for bidding and let the companies build it themselves with 30-year use rights.

With the emergence of Disneyland and a large number of housing and shops, Lantau Island's popularity will definitely not be bad. I believe there are developers willing to undertake this cross-sea bridge.

Originally, when a new area was developed, the government would arrange all kinds of water, electricity and supporting facilities.

Not to mention that there are already people living in Lantau Island, but not many of them. However, various infrastructures have been brought over from the urban area. They just need to be strengthened and expanded.

Road construction on the island is a relatively complicated project, but in the 30 square kilometers of land purchased by Qilin Group, you should build the roads yourself, right?

We only need to build a road connecting the end point of the cross-sea bridge to your area, and that will be enough.

After the entire project was completed, they estimated that it would cost about 10 billion Hong Kong dollars to completely renovate and improve the basic appearance of Lantau Island.

And what's even more gratifying is that the 10 billion probably won't have to come from the Kirin Group's land purchase money.

Where does it come from?

Very simple!

Aren’t the major consortiums and real estate companies crying and begging to buy the land next to Qilin Group?

We just need to level the land first and wait for a year or two. After the Kirin Group starts building its own headquarters area and Disney area, we can put the land next to it up for auction. Are we still worried about not being able to get 10 billion?

Because of this idea, when they signed the agreement with Qilin Group, they also emphasized the idea of ​​sorting out the land together.

After all, if you wait until the Qilin Group starts building houses, and you carry out a blasting project here, wouldn't it make those merchants and residents frightened, and suffer from huge noise?

So I just started working with the Kirin Group to open up the barren mountains and wilderness.

Seeing that the Xiangjiang government intended to hand over this project to Qilin Construction Company, Le Yiling readily agreed.

That is to say, the work of developing and leveling the land together is just as the Xiangjiang government thinks. It is just a matter of convenience. It is easier to develop now than to do it later.

However, the flattened price is no longer 100 yuan per square foot. It might be 800, 1,000 or even higher per square foot.

But both Le Yiling and Yin Jun understood that the Xiangjiang government's calculations were very shrewd.

They are not afraid that merchants will not come to buy.

Businessmen will definitely not take advantage of it, but if the price of this piece of land has great development potential and very good expectations, then they will buy it no matter how expensive it is.

This is the same thing that Li Chaoren has always said.

location!

The most important thing is the location!

How could the land next to Kirin Group’s Disneyland, business district, and high- and mid-range residential areas be worthless?

Not to mention others, at least Charter King, Li Chaoren, and Zheng Yutong had the courage to take action.

No, didn't they join forces and want the Hong Kong government to grant them 100 hectares of land specifically for residential areas?

The Chief Secretary generally agreed, but not now.

And this time they entrusted the Kirin Group to develop new land, which is not only 100 hectares, but a total of almost 5 square kilometers, and the branches are around the land purchased by the Kirin Group.

This is also the cleverness of the Xiangjiang government. They are not sure whether such a large area of ​​​​Qilin Group can develop as expected, so they only build 5 square kilometers at first.

If it develops prosperously in the future, they can flatten the land again and continue to sell it!

Even if the development here is not very good, the cost of cleaning up and developing 5 square kilometers is not too expensive. It is definitely more than enough to protect capital, and there is absolutely no need to worry about losses.

As for the land for the Kirin Group's "Lantau Development Plan", it is allocated in the southeastern area of ​​Lantau Island.

This was also requested by Yin Jun himself, because the new airport is to the north, the hillside to the east is too steep, and the distance to the west is too far. Only the east-south area has the most suitable geographical environment.

But Le Yiling was still dissatisfied.

The Hong Kong government requires the Kirin Group to start construction as soon as possible. This is not a problem. The Kirin Group's Kirin Construction Company has more than 30,000 workers. On weekdays, it is in a state of half-operation, and it is a stage of losing money to support people.

Now that there are jobs for them to do, they can get more pay, which is also a good thing.

But the problem is that there are no roads to Lantau Island from the New Territories or Hong Kong Island. All equipment, materials, supplies, etc. must be transported by ship.

As a result, the cost will double.

The original overall construction budget of HKD 20 billion expected by Qilin Construction Company may not be able to meet the final HKD 30 billion or HKD 40 billion.

If you want to reduce the costs of Kirin Group, you must build a bridge connecting the two places.

However, this bridge must be tendered to other companies, so that they can collect bridge tolls to repay the cost and make money.

There are not many people on Lantau Island now. They just rely on the construction company's cars to travel back and forth. There is no way to make money.

So they definitely have to wait two or three years before repairing it, as long as they can catch up with the opening of Disneyland.

Moreover, even if the survey and design are started now, the overall completion will still take one or two years, and it will also not be able to catch up with the current mountain excavation and reclamation projects.

Le Yiling was very angry about this, but for the sake of Yin Jun's overall plan, she had no choice but to endure it.

Yin Jun was not that angry.

To suffer a loss is to take advantage.

Now you see that the cost of tens of billions is very high, but if you look at it 10, 20, or 30 years later, it is simply equivalent to giving it away! !
