The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

Mid-December.

On this day, Lin Zhichao came to the construction site of Lam Tin Garden in Happy Valley to inspect the work.

Lam Tin Nga Yuen has a total of 26 tenement buildings, or 130 floors. These buildings will be launched on New Year's Day in 1948.

Why is it a partial rollout?

This is because Lin Zhichao is worried that if 130 floors are launched at once, the purchasing power of the market will be insufficient. After all, a house costs 28,000 to 35,000 Hong Kong dollars. Therefore, he plans to launch 16 buildings (80 floors) first, and the remaining 10 buildings will be launched in a few months.

It will definitely be sold, at least in 1948, they will all be sold out without any problem.

You must know that during the three-year war, billions of Hong Kong dollars worth of wealth flowed into Hong Kong from the mainland.

If the "Lantian Yayuan" house is completed, it will almost be a hot item. After all, at the end of 1948, the purchase fee for a one-story building in Mid-Levels was 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, which shows how scarce houses are.

"Boss, the sales office and model houses are all ready!" Engineering Department Manager Huang Changhong came to Lin Zhichao and said happily.

The boss continues to sell good properties, which makes him deeply impressed. He is also very confident that he can sell out all the properties in one fell swoop this time, shocking the industry.

"Come on, take me to visit!"

"Okay, please come this way!"

The so-called sales office is a temporary floor, which will not be demolished. After the house is sold out this time, it will be built upwards until it covers five floors (Tanglou style). The first floor of this building is intended to be used as a store, because this building is at the entrance of the 'community'.

The entire "Lantian Yayuan" has two stores (the first floor of the two buildings), one is used as a daily necessities store, and the other is used as a restaurant; in this way, it is naturally convenient for residents.

As for the model house, two floors have been built, and the outer bamboo frames have not been removed, but a passage has been opened so that customers can enter the interior and have a look at the layout of the house. The interior of these two floors has been installed with doors and simple treatments have been carried out.

Although all this is still relatively crude, in this era, it is undoubtedly a pioneering work!

Arriving at the sales office, Lin Zhichao immediately saw the 'Lantian Yayuan' sand table in the middle - made of clay.

After visiting the sand table, Lin Zhichao said with satisfaction: "The workmanship is good, and I can intuitively feel the overall layout of 'Lantian Yayuan' at a glance. I believe that customers will be more determined to buy after seeing this."

Huang Changhong said with a smile: "Of course! We do so much to make customers feel at ease, while many real estate companies do almost nothing and sell the buildings."

Lin Zhichao nodded, but said: "Although it has been sold, the market will always be tired, not to mention that our real estate is large, so if we want to sell it out quickly, we need to make more preparations. Anyway, we didn't spend a lot of money. "

Huang Changhong said seriously: "Yes, the key is that we are attentive."

After a brief visit, Lin Zhichao is already confident, and next New Year's Day will be the time for inspection. Why he insists on selling out quickly is because he thinks this is a manifestation of the strength of a real estate company and can increase the popularity of Changjiang Real Estate.

Later, he asked Huang Changhong: "How is the progress of Boss Tang's factory?"

It has been two and a half months since Tang Zhongyuan's factory was located in Tsuen Wan in October. As for its factories, from site selection to construction, Changjiang Real Estate was involved. Especially the construction part was a practical operation of the Changjiang Real Estate Engineering Department, using the team of Sun Jian, the contractor.

Huang Changhong said: "It has been almost a month since the construction started. It will be put into use in April next year. The total construction period will be five months."

Most factories in this era have one or two floors, and five months is enough.

It's not impossible to go faster, but there is no need to compress the time so much. After all, Tang Zhongyuan also needs to order machines from abroad and recruit old employees from the magic city. Even if everything is ready, you can find a temporary factory and do it first.

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Recently, I am also looking for a factory address, and I will start next month. The people in your engineering department are busy!"

Huang Changhong heard that the boss was making zippers, and that he had spent a huge sum of money to buy an automatic zipper machine. He didn't expect to open a large factory so soon. I couldn't help but admire my boss deeply.

"The boss can rest assured that we can guarantee the quality in time."

"Okay, I'm relieved with your words!"

In fact, in real estate companies in the 1950s and 1960s, it was normal to have more than ten or twenty people, and it was normal to complete many projects in a year; after all, in this period, external contractors and teachers played a very important role.

It was only in the later stage that real estate companies began to develop the entire industrial chain and construction technology improved, and naturally there were more and more manpower.

Huixin Real Estate.

Zhang Jun's subordinate, Sun Liguo, asked seriously, "Are you sure that Changjiang Properties' Happy Valley property will open on New Year's Day next year?"

Sun Liguo promised firmly: "Boss, I have very certain news. I went to their construction site to find out!"

It turned out that after Zhang Jun saw that Lin Zhichao was selling off-plan houses and stratified sales, he quickly realized the way inside—that is, to use the least money to complete the real estate project; at the same time, he can quickly withdraw funds and invest the money in the next in a project.

Although the bid for the Happy Valley site failed, Zhang Jun and his partners found another piece of land that could accommodate 15 tenement buildings, but the price was relatively expensive.

But this is not a problem. As long as it can be stratified and staged, not only can the price be higher, but the capital can also be invested less and withdrawn faster.

"Okay! Get ready now. We have to sell out all 75 floors in a few days near Christmas. In this way, the market must temporarily lack purchasing power, and their 130 floors will definitely not be sold out. But if we Selling behind them puts the pressure on us."

Sun Liguo immediately said: "I understand. I will ask them to prepare the property brochure and advertisement immediately. I will definitely catch Yangtze Real Estate off guard. Let Lin Zhichao also understand that he is not the only one who can develop big projects."

I like to hear this, Zhang Jun thought.

Since the last bid failed, Zhang Jun was a little dissatisfied with Lin Zhichao, because Lin Zhichao was a "white wolf with empty gloves" instead of a real-life bidder.

Of course, he not only failed to Lin Zhichao, but also to Liao Baoshan.

Therefore, Zhang Jun then searched all over Hong Kong and finally bought a piece of land at a high price, spending a total of 850,000.

Even so, Zhang Jun believes that he can still earn 700,000 yuan. The important thing is that the funds can be withdrawn quickly.

"Lin, don't blame me for being cruel. If not, blame the mall for being like a battlefield! If I don't sell in advance, I will be the unlucky one. After all, your building has 130 floors." Zhang Jun muttered to himself.
