Chapter 2103 Another Reclamation Land

Hundreds of years ago, the land of Omen was actually very small, just a big street.

By the 1980s, they had expanded the area of ​​Omen by one-third through various land reclamation.

But this is not the end. Yin Jun knows that in the future, the area of ​​the Omen area will continue to be enlarged by land reclamation, even larger than the old city.

The future Venetian Hotel, these well-known five-star casino hotels, will be located in the new area.

Xiangjiang is also constantly reclaiming land, but most of it is around Victoria Bay.

Because this piece of land is the feng shui treasure of Xiangjiang, with Tsim Sha Tsui and Hung Hom in Kowloon on one side, and Sheung Wan and Central on the other, basically the most prosperous area in Xiangjiang is here.

It's like the coast of the Huangpu River in Shanghai, with the Wan Guo Building Complex on one side and the Lujiazui Financial District on the other.

In the 1920s and 1950s, Xiangjiang began reclamation projects, but the scale was not comparable to the large-scale land reclamation projects in East Tsim Sha Tsui in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

That time they reclaimed a total of 17.5 hectares of land, all of which were sold at auction prices.

The one that bought the most was Sino Land, which belonged to the Huang family in Singapore, and because they bought half of the land, they were later called the "King of East Tsim Sha Tsui".

Seeing this situation, the father and son of the Huang family simply changed the name of Sino Real Estate to East East Real Estate to show their status.

In the mid-1970s, the Hong Kong government started the construction of "Shatin New Town".

This site belongs to Li Zhaoji of Henderson Land Development. He razed two hills in one go, reclaimed 14 pieces of land, with a total area of ​​more than 6 million square feet, and then promised to return 70% of the area to the The main government was used to develop public housing and various infrastructures.

In the end, Henderson Land only wanted 30% of the land that was reclaimed from the sea, and what was finally built was Shatian City One, which is the area where Yaohan Department Store is located today.

Their behavior caused all the real estate businessmen to yell at Li Zhaoji, saying that Li Zhaoji had simply broken the rules, 50% was enough to suffer, and now only 30% is needed, how can he make money?

But no matter how others complain, Li Zhaoji in his previous life relied on this territory to gradually become a real estate tycoon.

It's just that in the previous life, he survived the painful stock market crash and real estate crash in 1982-84 by himself. In this life, Yin Jun bought enough stocks in advance, so that he reluctantly accepted the fact that his company, Yin Jun, was a shareholder.

In the following 1980s, Zheng Yutong's New World Development was in the treasure land of the New Convention and Exhibition Center. This new convention and exhibition center site brought more than 60 billion Hong Kong dollars in overall profits to New World Development.

It's a pity that this site now belongs to Yin Jun's Qilin Group.

The last land reclamation before the reunification, the one in the 1990s, was reclaimed in Hongkan, with a total of more than seven or eight hectares.

This time, Sun Hung Kai Properties and Henderson Land Development jointly formed a consortium and spent nearly 5 billion Hong Kong dollars to obtain the most fertile piece of land in it.

...

In the above situations, Yin Jun actually only remembers the New Convention and Exhibition Center and the Hongkan reclamation project, because they all happened in the 1980s and 1990s.

Fortunately, Yin Jun did not miss the first one, and neither did he miss the second Hongkan reclamation project.

In fact, during the recent Spring Festival, Li Zhaoji had approached Yin Jun and asked his opinion on this land reclamation plan.

Although the Hongkan reclamation project was implemented in the early 1990s, in fact, according to Xiangjiang's rules, it should have been decided around 1988 at the latest.

It is not too far away from 1988, so it is not surprising that Li Zhaoji has this idea.

Real estate companies in Xiangjiang, especially Chinese real estate companies, like to team up to fight monsters when encountering huge projects.

In this way, although the earning will be a little less, the ability to resist risks has been greatly increased.

For example, in 1982, Hang Lung Group teamed up with more than a dozen companies to bid for the properties on top of the nine subway lines on the Hong Kong Island Line.

When they regret and want to cancel the subscription, if the 400 million Hong Kong dollars in compensation is paid by one company, it will definitely hurt their hearts, but if more than a dozen companies are divided according to their shares, it is naturally not too traumatic.

"We are going to form a new consortium this time." Li Zhaoji said to Yin Jun: "Kirin Real Estate, Henderson Land Development and Sun Hung Kai Properties are definitely going to participate, and I think our three financial resources are sufficient to support it."

"Brother Ji, what size plot do you want to build?" Yin Jun asked.

"Same as the first City Shatian last time, I'm going to make a big one." Li Zhaoji said, "The Zhengfu's intention is to expand the land to reclaim the sea, and the scale is about 8 million square feet. But as a red survey land For the last land reclamation in this area, I think I can be bolder, and I am going to propose a plan of 15 million square feet."

Yin Jun made some calculations, and said in surprise, "About 21 hectares? How big is it?"

You know, the largest land reclamation in Xiangjiang so far is 17.5 hectares in the East Tsim Sha Tsui area, and that was more than ten years ago.

City One Shatin is only a little over 8 hectares.

According to the scale of 21 hectares, Xiangjiang's land reclamation area should set a new record.

"The terrain in Hongkan is relatively complicated. This is the area that can be reclaimed from the sea. It can be as big as it can be." Li Zhaoji said with a smile. , It is not certain that the Hong Kong government will agree! But they will not cut it too hard, at least 10 million square feet should be available."

Only then did Yin Jun understand.

Li Zhaoji is worthy of being an expert in land reclamation.

With such a bold assault, even if the original intention of the Hong Kong government is only seven or eight million square feet, the upper limit will be increased by a little bit.

"Or do we return 70% of the land?" Yin Jun asked again.

"Of course!" Li Zhaoji said seriously: "When I was in the first city of Sha Tin, others thought I was crazy, but in fact, I gained too much by doing this. First of all, the Hong Kong government trusts me very much. Reclamation, they will all come to ask for my opinion, hoping that I can participate in it... This is how this opportunity came about.

The second point, even if it is 30% of 10 million square feet, there is still a huge land of 4.2 hectares. Such a land is enough for us to develop for 20 years! When the government has done their work well and the various infrastructures have been improved, are we afraid that our land will not make money? "

"You are an expert, you have the final say." Yin Jun smiled and said, "What do I need to do?"

"Of course it is the support of funds and public opinion." Li Zhaoji said, "In terms of money, we hope to have enough cash or bank authorization, so that the Hong Kong government will believe that we have the ability to reclaim 15 million square feet of land. We don’t have to worry about our collapse midway. If Kirin Group stands up and endorses, then there will be no problems.

In terms of public opinion, we still have some competitors, so let’s point to our strengths and brag about it, and make a good plan for this piece of land for reclamation, so that the government and the public can see our strength and plans. Once we have given them a strong psychological hint, then we have succeeded in half. "

"Okay, I will find someone to discuss the specific plan with Brother Ji." Yin Jun agreed after thinking for a while.

Li Zhaoji secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

In fact, his confidence was not as strong as he showed, mainly because of the giant Qilin Real Estate.

Huo Jianning's methods were not gentle, because he was young, so he was quite sharp.

Originally, this was very offensive, but who asked him to rely on the Qilin Group?

In terms of money, even Jardine Matheson cannot compare with Kirin Group.

In terms of momentum and the voice of the media, the three major TV stations and "Kirin Daily" are almost in charge of the throat of Hong Kong's media.

Compared with the strength behind the scenes, the more than 10,000 people in the Qilin security team are enough to make anyone who thinks they have a relationship with the community regress, and even the community itself is trembling under the power of the more than 10,000 people, and avoids Qilin on weekdays sphere of influence of the group.

People who don't even dare to provoke the Kowloon Walled City, how many dares do they have to provoke?

He knew that Huo Jianning was also concerned about this Hongkan reclamation land.

It's just that Huo Jianning is now stumbling by the "Lantau Island Development Plan" of the Kirin Group, and has no way to take time out.

In addition, it seems that he has been flying to Japan frequently recently, and is planning to invest in Japan, so he will not immediately intervene in the red land reclamation.

So Li Zhaoji seized the opportunity and came directly to talk with Yin Jun, preparing to bring Qilin Real Estate on board, so that his plan would be much more solid, and he would not have to be afraid of any competition at all.

Yin Jun was as decisive as ever.

In other words, this kind of business involving tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars is nothing in Yin Jun's eyes, even if it will be slower to pay back, he won't care.

Thinking of this, Li Zhaoji inevitably felt a little emotional.

Six or seven years ago, this young man was only writing scripts in the entertainment industry, and he was able to get a reward of 1 million, which surprised the entertainment industry and couldn't believe it.

But now, he is several levels higher than himself, becoming the richest man in the world.

The world is impermanent, but such a rapid and successful development should be unprecedented.

Fortunately, Yin Jun has a gentle personality, especially caring for the Chinese people, and often cooperates to make a fortune together, which also makes the Chinese businessmen feel at ease.

Li Zhaoji is even different.

Yin Jun owns 25% of the shares in Henderson Land. He and Li Zhaoji are the same people who eat in the same bowl, just like Li Chaoren's Changshi Group.

Since they are all on their own, it is more at ease when everyone advances and retreats together when doing business.

After all, if it hurts the interests of Hengji Zhaoye, isn't it also hurting Yin Jun's interests?

I believe that the group of people in the Kirin Group can also be clearly distinguished.
