Rebirth 1983: Starting from taking back the family property

Lu Jiaxin told Gu Haifan to take Gu Xiuxiu to Repulse Bay next week to see the house and choose a room she likes. She can tell the housekeeper or Secretary Zhang how to decorate it.

After staying at Gu's house for more than half an hour, Lu Jiaxin left after receiving a call. Gu Haifan is now older and sensible. He knows that she is busy with work and does not force her to stay for dinner.

Lu Jiaxin went to Xinxin Real Estate and asked Tan Gang when she saw him, "Did you say on the phone that Hutchison Whampoa wants to sell Harcourt House and Windsor House?"

It was Tan Gang who called him and said that Hutchison Whampoa wanted to sell these two buildings, so he hurried over. You should know that Harcourt House is located at 39 Gloucester Avenue, Wan Chai. It is a Grade A office commercial building, located between Admiralty and Wan Chai stations, and close to the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. The Windsor House is located at the junction of Gloucester Avenue and Great George Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island.

Tan Gang said with a smile: "Boss, I have a friend who works at Landmark. He told me the news as soon as he knew you wanted to buy a high-quality property."

People told Tan Gang the news because, firstly, the more buyers the property has, the better. Only with competition can it be sold at a good price. Secondly, if the deal is successful, they must be paid.

Lu Jiaxin asked about the price of the two buildings, a total of 2.5 billion. Although the stock market crash has made many people lose their fortunes, the impact on real estate is smaller than expected.

As the owner of a real estate company, Lu Jiaxin is more familiar with the market housing prices and the prices of landmark buildings in Hong Kong. She said: "Then you talk to them. It would be best if they can lower the price a little. It doesn't matter if they can't."

Tan Gang was very happy.

Lu Jiaxin was very busy a few days ago and didn't come. This time she came, of course, to ask about the land and property purchased in the recent period.

Tan Gang handed a thick document to Lu Jiaxin: "Boss, these are the detailed information of the land and properties we bought in the past month."

Lu Jiaxin carefully read the first three pages, and stopped reading the rest. She closed the document and said: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do now, so you take me to see the properties I purchased."

As for the land, if it is near the property, I will go to see it. If it is in a remote location, forget it, and I don't have that much time.

Although it costs more money, the number of properties is limited because quality is more important than quantity. Lu Jiaxin was very satisfied after taking a look around, and said: "This month's workload is heavy, and everyone is working very hard. Tan Gang, this month's employee bonuses will double."

Tan Gang was very happy and said with a smile: "Thank you, boss.

An extra month's salary is just a small amount, and the bonus at the end of the year is the big part. Although the company is not listed, Xinxin Real Estate is no worse than the old real estate companies.

Thinking of this, Tan Gang asked: "Boss, a friend said that our company can be listed. Boss, our company will not be listed, right? ”

He thought his boss would not go public if he was not short of money. Because once the company goes public, not only the financials must be transparent to the public, but also a portion of the equity must be issued to the public.

Lu Jiaxin chuckled and said, "Since you know, why are you asking?"

She wants to be a landlady, how could she let Xinxin Real Estate go public? If it goes public, not only the financials must be transparent and subject to public supervision, but also the complaints of those antiques.

Tan Gang smiled and said, "Boss, don't worry, I told them the same thing. With the boss's financial resources, there is no need to go public at all."

The company went public for reputation and to raise more funds to expand the company. His boss can make money in the financial market, so there is no need.

After returning home, Lu Jiaxin called Nie Zhan and told him about it: "Ah Zhan, the location of these two buildings is very good, I want to take them both."

Nie Zhan had not received the news yet, but he knew the reason as soon as he thought about it. He said, "In a few years, Hong Kong City will return. Jardine Matheson is British-funded, and they will gradually sell their property assets for transfer. You have sufficient cash flow on hand, so of course you have to take it if you come across it. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Jiaxin said: "Now immigration is popular, they don't think about it, it's not so easy to survive abroad. If you sell your assets in Hong Kong now, you won't be able to afford it when you come back in the future."

There was a story that someone sold his ancestral courtyard house to develop abroad in the 1980s and 1990s. After more than 20 years, he came back thinking that he had returned home in glory. As a result, he found that the money he earned in these years could not afford to buy a commercial house in a good location, let alone the courtyard house he sold.

This story also applies to Hong Kong people who immigrated in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They sold their properties and went abroad. When they didn't develop well abroad, they came back and found that they couldn't even afford a house.

Nie Zhan felt that there was no need to worry about this: "The cost of immigration is very high, and 99% of citizens cannot meet the requirements. As for those wealthy people, the roots of Chinese businessmen are in Hong Kong. It is impossible for them to transfer the focus of their industries to foreign countries. At most, they can keep a hand as a retreat. ”

Where can Wansheng Real Estate and Wansheng Bank move to? They are dragons in Hong Kong, but they may be worse than insects in other countries. Moreover, if all assets are moved to other countries without prior arrangements, they may be slaughtered as fat sheep. Therefore, those who run away are basically British capital, middle-class and small businessmen.

The news that Harcourt House and Windsor House are for sale spread quickly. Many people want them, among which Chinese Estates is the most active.

Zong Shimeng got the news and called Lu Jiaxin: "Jiaxin, I have a good relationship with the wife of the general manager of Jardine Matheson. Do you want me to introduce you to each other?"

Lu Jiaxin felt it was unnecessary and declined politely. Now everyone in Hong Kong knows that she has strong financial resources, and Chinese property owners are still trying to rob her of their properties, so let’s just be upfront!

Tan Gang got Lu Jiaxin's words and said that Xinxin Real Estate was willing to acquire these two buildings at a premium of 5%. Due to the impact of the stock market crash, real estate prices have fallen. Jardine Matheson did not sell the two buildings because of the decline in real estate. They had their own strategic considerations.

The Chinese Real Estate Investment Department got the news and immediately reported to their boss Liu: "Boss, I heard that Miss Lu has made a lot of money in the stock market. She is now willing to purchase these two buildings at a premium of 5%. We have to increase the price, and she is sure It will be added as well.”

When buying something, the one with the highest price gets it, but they don't know how much cash flow Lu Jiaxin has. Miss Lu looked determined to win. If they raised the price too high, they would suffer a loss if they bought it. If they didn't buy it, they would offend Miss Lu and Mr. Nie.

Seeing that he was silent, the investment manager said, "Boss, Miss Hongji Building was bought at a premium of more than 20%. The premium for these two buildings is more than 20%, which is far beyond our budget."

After hearing this, Da Liu gave up the competition.
