Chapter 268 Existence at the same level as Chu Huan (7K chapter, please subscribe~)
After the time entered October, the citizens of Xiangjiang lived a peaceful life for a few days, and suddenly they were knocked out by a big news again!
The well-deserved leader in Hong Kong's real estate industry, Hang Lung Properties, which used to have the second highest market value of Chinese-owned real estate, and the well-known overseas trust bank in Xiangjiang, the three super companies suddenly jointly held a press conference to announce.
Hang Lung Properties will acquire the Golden Gate Building under the name of Landmark at a price of 430 million Hong Kong dollars!
At the same time, it was announced that Hang Lung Properties will reach a strategic partnership with Overseas Trust Bank, and Overseas Trust Bank will be fully responsible for the financial transactions of Hang Lung Properties!
As soon as the news was announced, all the reporters on the scene were immediately detonated.
First, in August, Chu Huan announced the establishment of Huaye City, a billion-dollar project. In October, Hang Lung Properties announced the acquisition of Jinmen Building at a price of 430 million!
Didn't it mean that the stock market crash severely hit Xiangjiang's real estate industry?
Why are these real estate companies in Xiangjiang now richer than the other?
Chu Huan is lucky to say something, everyone knows that Chu Huan is a consortium of four huge consortium companies including Xiangjiang's Sun Hung Kai, New World, Hopewell Land, and Hutchison International. At the same time, Huaye City is also a project with a very long investment cycle.
But now this Golden Gate Building is different, this is a one-shot deal!
Where did Hang Lung Properties get so much money!
However, Chen Qizong, the spokesperson of this project, told everyone a not-so-complete answer when asked by the reporter!
The 430 million Hong Kong dollars that Hang Lung Properties used to acquire the Golden Gate Building was not a one-time settlement, but half of the funds, 215 million Hong Kong dollars, were paid to Hongkong Land first, and the remaining half will be paid in the second half of next year!
This answer was accepted by the reporters on the scene.
Then there were various questions. From this press conference, Chen Zengxi didn't say much, and it was Chen Qizong who responded to the questions of reporters from all sides.
This also created an illusion for everyone that Chen Qizong led this matter. In fact, it was not an illusion. Strictly speaking, this matter was indeed led by Chen Qizong.
The press conference started at 8:00 a.m., and ended just as Xiangjiang stock market opened. The stocks of Landmark, Hang Lung Properties, and Overseas Trust immediately rose to varying degrees.
Heung Kong shareholders don't care about so many twists and turns, Hongkong Land can get 430 million cash in this transaction, which can be used to develop its own industry. This is a tangible benefit, and Hongkong Land's stock price has naturally risen.
Hang Lung Properties was able to take out 215 million in cash at one time under such an environment, which shows that Hang Lung Properties is rich, and the stock price of a rich company will naturally rise.
And the Overseas Trust Bank is not bad either. In this transaction, they got a rich customer of Hang Lung Properties, and the future development will naturally be more brilliant, so the stock price will definitely rise!
Henry Keswick, Michael Keswick, Chen Zengxi, Chen Qizong, Zhang Mingyi, and Zhang Chengzhong were sitting in the conference room, listening to Chen Zengxi's secretary talk about the rise in the stock prices of the three companies, all of them had satisfied smiles on their faces.
Ronnie, you did a great job this time! Henry Keswick, Chairman of Jardine Taipan Landmark, praised Chen Qizong with satisfaction.
I believe it won't be long before you can become a character who exists side by side with Chu Huan!
This is not Henry Keswick teasing Chen Qizong, but sincerely. Now that Chu Huan is the first person in Xiangjiang's younger generation, no one doubts it. Now that Henry Keswick can put Chen Qizong in the same Chu Huan is in the same position, which already shows that Henry Keswick is very optimistic about Chen Qizong.
Chen Qizong wanted to be reserved, but he couldn't keep calm. He smiled happily: Thank you Mr. Keswick for the compliment, I hope I can surpass Chu Huan in the future!
Henry Keswick was a little dazed, and then laughed loudly: I also hope to see that day soon!
Chen Zengxi said at this time: Mr. Keswick, the cooperation between you and me seems to be very successful this time. I hope that the cooperation between our two companies can be deepened in the future!
Henry Keswick is the one who is really reserved and said with a smile: There is a chance. Hang Lung Properties has always been a real estate company that I am very optimistic about. I believe that Hang Lung will definitely become a banner of Chinese real estate in the future!
Chen Zengxi said humbly: That still needs a lot of help from Mr. Keswick!
Henry Keswick nodded in satisfaction and said, There will be opportunities for cooperation!
Zhang Mingbi looked at Chen Zengxi and Henry Keswick as they greeted each other without making a sound, appearing very low-key.
After the greetings, Henry Keswick and Michael Keswick got up and said goodbye!
You did a good job this time!
While getting into the car, Henry Keswick preached to Michael Keswick.
Hearing Henry Keswick's praise, Michael Keswick immediately beamed with joy. When he got into the car, he did not forget to give Chen Qizong and Zhang Chengzhong a smug smile.
After Henry Keswick and Michael Keswick left, the four of Chen Zengxi returned to the conference room of Hang Lung Center!
Brother Zhang, thank you very much for this incident!
There was already a wine glass placed in front of Chen Zengxi at this time, at this time Chen Zengxi picked up the wine glass and thanked Zhang Mingyi.
Zhang Mingli smiled and said, Brother Chen is too polite, this cooperation is a win-win situation for everyone!
Chen Zengxi laughed and said, That's true!
The two drank the wine in their glasses, and Chen Qizong and Zhang Chengzhong also clinked glasses with smiles on their faces.
By mortgaging his Hang Lung Center with another property, Chen Zengxi obtained an overseas trust loan of 180 million Hong Kong dollars, and the remaining 35 million cash was all the working capital of their Hang Lung Real Estate.
Although the liquidity of Hang Lung Properties has been exhausted, Chen Zengxi is not too worried at this time. The current stock price rise is just the beginning. He believes that in the days to come, Hang Lung Properties' stock prices will continue to rise. At the end of the year, Hang Lung Properties will also have a large-scale real estate for public sale.
At that time, a large amount of cash will also be withdrawn.
If we promote it harder at that time, the stock price of Hang Lung Properties will also rise accordingly.
Chen Zengxi believes that next year, even if the stock price of Hang Lung Properties does not recover from its heyday, there will not be much difference. At that time, Hang Lung Properties will re-emerge as the leader of Xiangjiang Properties companies.
And he no longer has to envy those real estate companies that are enclosing land!
Thinking of this, Chen Zengxi couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Ronnie, Kevin, you two are very good. The reason why you lost to Chu Huan before was because you were too entangled in targeting Chu Huan. You don't know that only when you develop well can you deal with each other better. Now this This thing is the best explanation, I believe that within two years, you will surpass Chu Huan, and when you want to deal with Chu Huan, you will find it much easier than now!
Chen Zengxi praised Chen Qizong and Zhang Chengzhong.
The two immediately said that they had taken it for granted before, but they won't do it from now on!
Hearing their assurances, both Chen Zengxi and Zhang Mingli smiled.
Zhang Mingli even smiled and said: Speaking of which, Ronnie, Kevin was able to think of this plan to increase the stock prices of our two companies, and he was also reminded by Chu Huan Huaye City. In this way, can we thank Chu Huan? Woolen cloth?
Hearing what Zhang Mingbi said, the other three showed knowing smiles, and Chen Qizong said proudly: At this time, I really want to see the expression on Chu Huan's face!
Zhang Chengzhong was making a joke, and said: It must be very beautiful!
Hearty laughter rang out again in the meeting room.
What is Chu Huan's expression?
A look of indifference!
I never thought that Hang Lung Properties would be so bold as to acquire the Golden Gate Building at this time!
Guo Bingxiang and Zheng Jiachun came to Jiahu Building today, obviously they already knew about the press conference of Hang Lung Properties just now.
When Zheng Jiachun heard what Guo Bingxiang said, he smiled and said: At least their goal has been achieved. Through this transaction, the stock prices of the three companies have been improved to varying degrees, and this is just the beginning. I believe their stock prices will continue to grow. It will rise, even surpassing the rise of several of our stock prices!
Most people in the Xiangjiang business community can see that Hang Lung Properties wants to use this transaction to increase its stock price.
Guo Bingxiang wondered: According to our calculations, the current liquidity of Hang Lung Properties may bottom out, right? Aren't they afraid that other companies will suddenly launch a hostile takeover for them at this time?
Zheng Jiachun analyzed: No, now Xiangjiang Baiye, because of the stock market crash, is all overwhelmed. Who has the spare power to buy Hang Lung? Besides, Hang Lung has reached a cooperation with Jardine and Overseas Trust. As long as there is no stock market crash again In the current situation, Hang Lung Properties is already a guest of the major banks in Hong Kong, if someone hostilely acquires Hang Lung at this time, Chen Zengxi will definitely be able to raise a sum of money in a short period of time, and to compete with it, the gains outweigh the losses!
Guo Bingxiang nodded, then looked at Chu Huan with a sudden smile, and asked, Ah Huan, they are obviously learning from your Huaye City, looking at your former opponents, now use your own What do you think about the success of this method?
Chu Huan smiled lightly and said, What can I think? Congratulations. Besides, their acquisition is more of an immediate benefit. How can it compare with our Huaye City!
It seems that the current Huaye City is just a one-billion project, which is not enough compared to the later projects that cost billions or tens of billions, but don't forget that this is Xiangjiang in 1973!
Not the Xiangjiang of later generations!
The most important thing is that today's Tianhai Real Estate is a real estate company with 4 million square feet in its hands. This alone has already topped the entire Xiangjiang!
At this time, most of the real estate companies in Xiangjiang only have 300,000 to 400,000 square feet of land, and a little more than 500,000 square feet.
Even among those foreign-funded real estate companies, none of them could compare to Tianhai Real Estate in terms of land reserves at this time.
One sentence can summarize the current land reserve of Tianhai Real Estate, that is, Tianhai Real Estate is now the largest landlord in Xiangjiang!
Huaye City not only has residences, but also more supporting facilities, such as banks, shopping malls, cinemas, etc., which are not for sale in Tianhai Real Estate's plan, and these lands are used for rent collection.
To put it simply, by the 1990s, the annual rent of Huaye City alone would have been as high as 20 to 30 billion Hong Kong dollars!
This is a chicken that lays golden eggs!
On the other hand, Hang Lung Properties acquired the Golden Gate Building, which is different. The size of the Golden Gate Building is here. Even if the land price in Xiangjiang rises rapidly in the future and the rent rises, the rent brought by the Golden Gate Building will only be 100 to 200 million!
Faced with Chu Huan's calmness, Guo Bingxiang and Zheng Jiachun only smiled after hearing it, and they could naturally see the difference.
In the eyes of the two of them, Hang Lung Properties only managed to get back to the same starting line with them at a greater price!
They didn't come to Chu Huan specifically to talk about this matter with Chu Huan, but to discuss some things about Huaye City with Chu Huan.
But after hearing the reason for their visit, Chu Huan directly sent them to Lu Qi and Bao Tianming to deal with other matters by himself.
But the three still agreed to get together at night!
After finishing a day's work, Chu Huan went to the Jade Club by car, and met Guo Bingxiang, Zheng Jiachun, Feng Yongfa and Tang Yunian who were already waiting here.
Look, there are already newspapers calling Chen Qizong a parallel existence with you among the younger generation of Xiangjiang!
Seeing Chu Huan at the scene, Guo Bingxiang immediately handed the evening paper of Cheng Bao to Chu Huan, and preached in a teasing tone.
After Chu Huan sat down, he took the Cheng Bao.
Sure enough, today's Sing Pao devoted its front-page headline to Hang Lung Real Estate's acquisition of the Golden Gate Building.
Chen Qizong, as the son of Chen Zengxi, the founder of Hang Lung Real Estate, played a vital role in this transaction. According to this newspaper, it was he who connected in series that led to this transaction. It can be seen that the young people of Xiangjiang Shopping Center Generations are rising.
In the past, Chu Huan's light was too dazzling, which made us ignore other people. Looking at it now, we found that there are not only Chu Huan in Xiangjiang, but also more young people we should pay attention to.
And Chen Qizong is obviously one of the indispensable ones. I believe that with the support of Hang Lung Properties, Chen Qizong will soon become Xiangjiang's second Chu Huan. As for whether he can surpass it, we can only wait and see!
This is an excerpt from the entire report, but from this evaluation, it is not difficult to see that because of the transaction of the Golden Gate Building, Chen Qizong has officially entered the vision of Xiangjiang citizens.
Chu Huan smiled, put the newspaper aside, and said, You can write whatever you want. Such a title will not bring any benefits, but will become the target of everyone's attack!
Hearing what Chu Huan said, Guo Bingxiang and the others nodded.
The Chen family used to be very low-key, but I didn't expect it to be so high-key this time! Tang Yunian said with a sigh.
Now their Nanhai Textile has not found a better second way, but the Xiangjiang shopping mall is already surging.
Feng Yongfa said: It doesn't matter if you don't want to be high-profile. They have spent such a large amount of money to increase the stock price of their company. If they are not high-profile, they will not be able to achieve the effect they want!
Zheng Jiachun suddenly said, You guys say, when will Hang Lung Properties sell new shares?
Raising the stock price, selling new shares, and raising funds are basically the routines of most real estate companies in Xiangjiang. Now that Hang Lung Properties has spent such a large price to increase the company's stock price and influence, it must be selling new shares.
Guo Bingxiang said: I know that Hang Lung Properties will have a large-scale real estate sale at the end of the year. I think their stock price will definitely rise again at that time. They should sell new shares at that time!
After the lecture, both Guo Bingxiang and Zheng Jiachun showed a worried expression.
Everyone knows that when the Hong Kong government auctions land, most of them will be concentrated at the end of the year. During the period after the year, if Hang Lung Properties sells new shares at that time, plus the proceeds from the new real estate, I believe that the funds in Hang Lung Properties' hands at that time Definitely very plentiful.
For Sun Hung Kai, which aims to use this period of low land prices in Xiangjiang to hoard land, New World is a big competitor.
Okay, that's all for the future. You asked me to come here to drink, or to discuss these unhappy things?
Chu Huan interrupted everyone's thoughts and preached dissatisfiedly.
When everyone heard what Chu Huan said, they reacted one after another, and then laughed and said, Of course I'm drinking!
While talking, Guo Bingxiang beckoned the waiter from the Jade Club to come over, Bring the wine I kept here before!
As soon as the waiter heard this, he immediately turned around and went to fetch wine for Guo Bingxiang.
When the waiter came back, Guo Bingxiang took out a tip in his pocket and was about to give a reward when a voice suddenly came from outside the booth.
Young Master Chen is here!
Chen Qizong with a proud face, Zhang Chengzhong and Michael Keswick with the same expression walked into the Jade Club and immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Chen Qizong was even more proud to give tips casually, each of which was a thousand yuan bill!
Seeing this situation, the waiter holding Guo Bingxiang wine immediately showed an expression of envy, and his eyes naturally shifted to Chen Qizong, as if he wanted to go over immediately.
Seeing this, Guo Bingxiang's expression darkened immediately, and he snorted coldly.
Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly apologized, but after Guo Bingxiang took the tip of 100 yuan, he immediately approached Chen Qizong with a smile on his face like a blooming chrysanthemum
Seeing this situation, Guo Bingxiang's face sank like water.
Chu Huan and the others held back their laughter and began to shrug their shoulders!
You don't have to come to the Jade Club in the future! Guo Bingxiang said dissatisfied.
Chu Huan and the others seemed indifferent, this was just a place where they occasionally met and talked about things, what was important was them and what they talked about, not the place where Jade Club was.
On the other side, Chen Qizong and the others also knew from others that Chu Huan and the others were also here.
Chen Qizong, who got the news, smiled disdainfully, Arranging a private room on the second floor, the level of the first floor of the Jade Club is getting worse and worse!
Hearing what Chen Qizong said, not only Guo Bingxiang was angry this time, but other people also showed unfriendly expressions. Even if their education is better than that of their peers, they are all young people in their twenties after all. Arrogant for sure.
Chu Huan used one thing that shocked their hearts to make them admire Chu Huan, but they really couldn't admire Chen Qizong.
Naturally, he would not be satisfied with Chen Qizong's current attitude.
Change place?
Chu Huan made a suggestion at this time.
If you don't change it, why should we change it? Guo Bingxiang, who just said that he would not come to the Jade Club in the future, said angrily: At least not today!
Chu Huan shrugged indifferently!
Chen Qizong's highlight moment did not stop there, but became more and more intense. On the second day, Sheng Bao made an appointment with Chen Qizong for an exclusive interview.
This report was on the front page of Sing Pao the next day.
In the report, Chen Qizong talked about Xiangjiang's economic posture with a pair of pointers.
I think that Xiangjiang's stock market crash has passed its cold winter period and has officially entered a recovery period. In the past seven months, the citizens of Xiangjiang have been affected by the stock market crash and their wealth has shrunk. This is what I personally don't want to see!
But now, I can definitely tell the stockholders of Xiangjiang that the stock market crash of Xiangjiang is far away from us, and a bright future is in sight.
It is precisely because of this that Hang Lung Properties chooses to cooperate with Hongkong Land at this time. This is not only the reason why we are optimistic about the Hong Kong stock market, but also because we are optimistic about the development of Hong Kong.
As the population of Xiangjiang increases, there will naturally be more demand for properties and employment, all of which will give rise to consumer demand.
The bright future of Xiangjiang will start from the real estate industry and the financial industry!
This is also part of the interview with Chen Qizong.
At this time, Chen Qizong seemed to have become the spokesperson of Xiangjiang, and he was heartbroken for Xiangjiang's economy.
But it is undeniable that the citizens of Xiangjiang eat such a routine, so the stock price of Hang Lung Properties has risen again.
At this time, the stock price from their trough period has nearly tripled!
Completed the comparison with Sun Hung Kai, New World, and Hopewell Properties. Of course, there is still a long way to go from their stock prices at their peak.
But no matter how you look at it, the stock price of their Hang Lung Properties is now developing on the positive side.
And the media has always been chasing after the new. Now that Hang Lung Real Estate's acquisition of Jinmen Building has caused the stock price to go up against the wind, the Chen family, which has always been low-key, now has a sudden high-profile person like Chen Qizong.
This series of behaviors naturally made Chen Qizong and Hang Lung Properties the hottest topic in Hong Kong today!
The more popular it is, the more attention Hang Lung Properties receives.
And their stock prices naturally continued to climb.
Daddy, maybe we can sell new shares before the end of the year! Chen Qizong was talking to Chen Zengxi about his plan with a proud face.
Chen Zengxi's expression at this time was somewhat regretful.
Seeing this, Chen Qizong asked a little puzzled: Daddy, what's wrong with you?
Chen Zengxi said helplessly: It's still a pity. If we had enough cash in our hands before the stock market crash, we could not only hoard more land, but also take advantage of the lowest stock price of the company to buy part of the stock. If this is the case, not only will we not dilute our own shares due to the issuance of new shares in the future, but we can also take advantage of this stock market crash to earn more price difference!
In this stock market crash, other real estate companies, such as Cheung Kong, Sun Hung Kai, New World and other real estate companies, although their share prices have also been hit, their own properties have not been affected much, and they even use the lowest stock price of their own companies. At that time, part of the company's stock was recovered.
Buy at a low price, wait until the company's stock price rises, and then sell a little bit, so as to ensure that they can continue to maintain their control over the company.
However, Hang Lung Properties is not so lucky. Naturally, Chen Zengxi and his son have no extra funds to buy the company's stocks, and then play the trick of buying low and selling high.
At this time, Chen Qizong said complacently: This gap can be made up. As long as we make Hang Lung Real Estate the number one position in Hong Kong Huazi Real Estate in the future, our stock price will naturally be the highest at that time. , At that time, it certainly didn't take much to issue new shares.
And at that time, no company had the strength to initiate a hostile takeover of us.
Chen Zengxi nodded after hearing this, knowing that his previous thoughts were a little greedy, so the disappointment on his face gradually disappeared.
Ronnie, the number of times you appear in front of the media these days is enough. You must be careful not to overdo everything. Now that the stock price of our Hang Lung Properties has been rising steadily, you can also reduce your appearance in the media appropriately. The number of times in front of me!
For Chen Zengxi's reminder, Chen Qizong didn't have any objections, and said: Tomorrow night there will be an interview with the wireless station. After that interview is over, I will reject other interviews!
Chen Zengxi nodded.
While Chen Zengxi and Chen Qizong were looking forward to the bright future of Hang Lung Real Estate, one of them fell into hesitation about his own future.
This person is Huang Yulang, the owner of Yulang Books.
The Little Rascal comic series, after joining the two comics Tathagata's Palm and Son of Heaven, once sold more than 200,000 copies in a single issue in Xiangjiang, but in the latest issue, the sales volume Suddenly it was knocked back to sales of 180,000 copies.
Not only that, even the sales in Southeast Asia are falling at this time!
Sales fell below 500,000 copies.
In other words, the bet between him and Zhang Chengzhong is now in a situation that is not conducive to him.
What scares Huang Yulang even more is that the next issue will be the last issue, and it will also be the last issue of the bet between himself and Zhang Chengzhong!
Regardless of the previous sales volume, it must exceed the number of gambling in this issue, that is to say, Xiangjiang has exceeded 200,000 copies in a single issue, and Southeast Asia has exceeded 500,000 copies in a single issue!
Should we continue to cheat? Or should we discuss it with Zhang Chengzhong?
Huang Yulang will never be willing to let himself lose to Zhang Chengzhong!
Because in that case, Huang Yulang would really be finished!
Also, the next chapter is at 11 am~
