Chapter 1030 Central Land Auction (Part 1)
On September 25, the world's attention was still focused on the terrorist attacks in the United States, but it was clear that they still had to do their own things.
The world could not stop because of a terrorist attack. So on this morning, Yang Dongxu walked out of the Peninsula Hotel and took a special elevator directly to the underground parking garage.
A few minutes later, a total of five latest bulletproof Mercedes-Benz sedans were used from the underground parking lot of the Peninsula Hotel. Yang Dongxu sat in the middle car. In addition to Du Fei sitting in the co-pilot, his car also had Wu Aibing, who had just arrived in Hong Kong from the mainland yesterday.
In addition to Wu Aibing, not all the other four cars were bodyguards. For example, Zhao Yu and Sun Yi sat in the car in front of him, and Zhang Nanheng, the head of the property department of Lijian Security Company, sat in the car behind him.
Zhang Nanheng used to be Wu Aibing's assistant. He had worked in a state-owned enterprise and was the deputy general manager, which was considered a deputy department level. Later, he resigned and went into business on a whim. In the end, his career failed and he had to make a living on his own. He happened to be met by Li Ji, the omnipotent intermediary. So he introduced him to Wu Aibing.
Among all the companies under Yang Dongxu, except Yang Jiayan, which is his absolute private property. The status of Lijian Security Company is undoubtedly very special. After all, everyone around him, including many important senior drivers of the company, can generally be chosen by himself, but the bodyguards around him are basically from Lijian Security Company.
So this company has close security cooperation with all the companies under Yang Dongxu, and is relatively independent. The security work of Yang Dongxu's personal bodyguards and close people is generally arranged by Du Suo and others, and Wu Aibing is responsible for the connection and aftermath, and never lets a third person intervene.
But in addition to a group of adventurers who like to hang out in the Middle East with Du Suo and others, Lijian Security Company is more of ordinary veterans and company members. These people mainly do community property and company security work.
At the beginning, the property work of Lijian Security Company was affiliated with Hurricane Construction. Basically, every time Hurricane Construction built a place, the property department of Lijian Security Company would often accept property and other aftermath work.
The cooperation has been very good before, and the service attitude of Lijian Security Company is well-known in the industry. In addition to Hurricane Building, it has also expanded the property map of other office buildings and high-end communities. Although the annual income is not as much as tens of billions of Hurricane Building, it has been growing steadily and has a very promising future.
When Zhang Nanheng became familiar with the work for a period of time, and Wu Aibing took over the work of the supervision team. Lijian Security Company's overseas business has basically been assigned to Du Suo and has little involvement in the domestic business.
So after the property was gradually handed over to Zhang Nanheng, after several years of development, Lijian Security Company basically became independent from Hurricane Building.
Zhao Yu once complained about this, but Hurricane Building is now committed to real estate investment and construction. Lijian Security Company used to play with the property before. Except for some financial transactions on the accounts, Hurricane Building did not do any specific work.
So after observing Zhang Nanheng for a while, Yang Dongxu acquiesced to this independence. In addition, Zhang Nanheng has indeed expanded the property map of Lijian Security Company in the past two years. In the end, Zhao Yu complained and didn't say anything else.
Today, Zhao Yu and Wu Aibing came to Hong Kong to accompany him to Central, naturally because he had a big move in Hong Kong. Before coming to Hong Kong, in addition to the fact that the news here is more smooth than in the mainland, and it is closely connected with the international financial market, which is conducive to his observation of the international financial situation and adjustment.
Another purpose is for today's auction and bidding. The auction is a land auction. The land to be auctioned is located in an old shantytown renovation project in Central. Of course, the renovation of the old city is a bid and not a land auction.
However, these old city districts are not one piece, but several pieces separated. At the same time, some of these old city districts are government public areas. A single piece does not look big, and the largest piece is only more than 20 acres. But these scattered lands add up to nearly 150 acres.
At the same time, after taking these scattered lands, the originally separated shantytowns can basically be linked together. In this way, the splicing of the building area makes many large real estate companies excited.
Hong Kong Central is located in the Central and Western District of Hong Kong at the northern end of Hong Kong Island. It is the political and commercial center of Hong Kong. Many banks, multinational financial companies and consulates are basically near Central.
So this time, there is such a large area of building and such a complete area, which may be the best in the future of Central District. If you want to find such a large area again, unless some office buildings are demolished after reaching the end of their service life, the government will re-plan a large area in Central District. This situation may not happen for 30 or 40 years.
Therefore, this bidding and auction are carried out together, and all real estate developers who want to eat this piece of fat meat attach great importance to it. As for why Wu Aibing and Zhang Nanheng, who are responsible for the Blade Security Company, were also called here.
This involves the Hong Kong Municipal Government's 85,000 housing construction plan from a long time ago. This plan did not start in the past two years, but it started long ago and two years ago, that is, in 1999, the buildings of this housing construction plan have been opened one after another.
In fact, since the Hong Kong real estate was hit hard in 1997, after two years of recuperation, in 1999, there was a wave of rebound in housing prices, and the rebound strength was about 20%.
As a result, the real estate market, which had hit bottom, was about to bottom out and then the houses built under the 85,000 plan were launched one after another, which directly poured cold water on this rebound, and then the real estate market began to become half-dead again.
At the same time, the half-dead market had feedback on the 85,000 housing construction plan, making this ambitious plan, which seemed to be able to greatly improve the living comfort of Hong Kong people, feel a bit anticlimactic because it was born at the wrong time and the other half could not be sustained.
However, no matter how anticlimactic it is, the tiger head is really out. In the past few days, three properties with a total of 4,500 houses have begun to be publicly tendered. This is the last neck part of the tiger head. The tail of the snake behind has rotted and has no nutrition, so this is the last profit point of this plan.
Zhang Nanheng came here this time to bid for these three community properties. In China, Lijian Security Company is definitely the largest and best property company.
So even if the domestic real estate industry has begun to set sail and has a bright future, Zhang Nanheng has not limited his vision to China. He has a great ambition to be not only the best in China, but also the best property company in the world.
In addition, Yang Dongxu's numerous real estates in Hong Kong have been basically sorted out over the years, and some of the previous properties in some communities can naturally be handed over to Li Jian. Therefore, Zhang Nanheng's first stop after rushing out of the mainland was set in Hong Kong.
Five latest Mercedes-Benz cars, and each car is equipped with bodyguards. The front and rear cars are full of bodyguards. Walking on the road is naturally very eye-catching.
When it came to the auction, five cars stopped at once. The bodyguards got out of the car first to help open the door. There were nearly 20 people. Even though there were many bigwigs attending the auction and bidding this time, Yang Dongxu's group was extremely conspicuous.
"Who are these people? They are all strangers in such a big place."
"They may not be from Hong Kong. The government hopes that this project can be a shot in the arm for the current real estate industry. Therefore, not only will the auction and bidding rights be opened up to real estate companies in Hong Kong, but the same rights will also be opened up to the outside world. It is hoped that a large amount of funds from outside Hong Kong can be introduced to stimulate the financial development of Hong Kong."
"Where are these people from? Taiwan?"
"They don't look like they are from Taiwan, and their accents are not right. They sound a bit like they are from the mainland. They speak Mandarin."
"Haha, a group of country bumpkins who have never seen the world. Do you think this is a movie? Look at how low-key Sir Zhang and Superman Li are who just entered. This..."
"Speak softly so that you won't be heard." The person next to him pulled the clothes of the person who was hiding his voice.
"What? You can't even talk to these people?" Someone curled his lips with some disdain.
"Did you see the young man in the group?"
"What's wrong with seeing him? He's so young and is the leader of this group. He must be the son of a big boss in the mainland. Huh."
"I don't know if he is the son of a big boss in the mainland. But I know one thing: we can't afford to offend him."
"No matter how powerful the mainland is, can it still let us eat the front? Or do you know who he is?"
"I do know something."
"Come on, tell me."
"I had the honor of attending a gathering of a rich family before, and I met him at the gathering. The rich family respected him very much. Have you heard the rumor that the reason why the rich family rose so quickly is because they found a backer in the mainland."
"No Did the rich family and the backer fall out? "
"Don't worry about whether they have fallen out or not. I'm talking about the Asian financial crisis a few years ago. In addition to the government, private capital also participated in the support. In the end, you have heard the rumor that a 'Yang Bancheng' came out, right?"
"This sentence has been spread all over our circle, but most people say it is a rumor. How could someone be so rich that he could be called 'Half City' in Hong Kong? The money of those big guys who just went in is as much as the city government, but they can't do this. Uh, you don't live to talk about this young man."
Some people couldn't help but have a look of astonishment on their faces, and then they seemed to have seen through it and said what they thought they really thought.
"I am sure of that, but at that occasion, it was a gathering before the Fu family and their mainland backers broke up. Every old man who passed away in the Fu family respected him very much, and he sat at the main table, just second to the old man of the Fu family.
Even Fu Dehai, the very capable man of the Fu family, sat below him, and kept calling him Young Master Yang. This makes people think too much, doesn't it?"
"Even if he was the backer of the Fu family in the mainland before, it was his family's power, and it had nothing to do with a young boy like him. He went out with such a big show, and it was obvious that he had no real talent, just a good birth."
This is not just sour.
