Chapter 250 Cooperation and Conquest
Monday.
Liu Zhicheng came to the office of Whampoa Group. As the scale of Whampoa Group became larger and larger, many subsidiaries' office buildings were distributed all over Hong Kong Island, and there was no centralized office.
Of course, this has no impact, but instead gives people a better feeling, that is, one hub and multiple outlets.
After reading the morning paper for a while, Hao Qingwen went to his office first.
"Boss, are you going to participate in the auction of the land in Sham Shui Po Yau Village in Kowloon?"
Liu Zhicheng immediately flashed through the "land information" in his mind. This piece of land has an area of 20 square feet. According to the plot ratio (Hong Kong's floor area ratio) of 7.8, the floor area is 150 million square feet.
Large and medium-sized housing estates like these can be considered "luxury residential communities" because they have complete supporting facilities.
Therefore, this project has great potential, and how can Huangpu Group, which has sufficient cash flow, miss it!
What's more, I originally wanted to invest in some rental properties, but there are no suitable targets in the market now.
It seems that rich people are not stupid. They plan to sell it when the market improves, so they put it aside for now.
Liu Zhicheng said: "I won't participate, you go and participate, just remember to take the land back!"
Hao Qingwen had an idea of what was going on, mainly because his boss had analyzed the real estate trends and was very optimistic about the residential market in the next few years.
Therefore, it is difficult for other real estate companies to follow the bid made by Huangpu Group.
"Okay, I know!"
Hao Qingwen did not ask his boss about the upper limit, as he knew his boss would not tell him, so he left it all to himself.
The average price of land in Kowloon is only HK$2500 per square foot, but this is considered "luxury residential land" and there is a possibility of a premium of 20% to 70%.
Shortly after Hao Qingwen left, Han Chunxi brought Huang Tingfang and his son from Sun Hung Kai Properties to the office.
Liu Zhicheng stood up and greeted him, saying, "Mr. Huang, Brother Zhixiang, your presence has brought honor to my humble home!"
The Huang family is a good friend of the auction house, but when they met Liu Zhicheng, they had no choice but to admit defeat.
Huang and his son also wanted to cooperate with the Huangpu Group, but Liu Zhicheng reduced the number of partners for large-scale commercial projects, unless they were very large projects.
Huang Tingfang smiled and said, "Mr. Liu has been very successful in Hong Kong recently, and his companies have been listed one after another. Congratulations on your huge increase in wealth!"
In the capital market, a person’s wealth can only have a clear standard after it goes public, otherwise it can only be estimated.
"You're welcome. Please take a seat!"
If you can't beat them, just join them. This is probably the idea of Huang and his son. Their so-called good friends may not be the opponents of the Whampoa Group.
As expected, not long after they had their tea, Huang Tingfang said, "Mr. Liu, I am not satisfied with what you said. We at Sino Group are also very optimistic about the residential market in Hong Kong.
However, if the two powers want to compete, no matter who wins or loses, the Hong Kong government will benefit. So, can we strengthen cooperation and cooperate on large government land for residential use? "
He only emphasized residential government land and not large-scale commercial projects, because he knew that Liu Zhicheng attached great importance to rental properties.
To put it bluntly, residential land is a place to make quick money and it is easier to reach cooperation.
Liu Zhicheng smiled and said, "Why not! The residential project makes a one-time profit. If I have extra funds, I can develop a few more sites. There is really no need to fight to the death with a strong opponent like Mr. Huang."
Huang Tingfang was immediately very happy and said, "That's great! It's true. Every time we raise the price, the Hong Kong government earns 20% more. It's totally not worth it!"
Liu Zhicheng nodded and said, "In that case, how about we cooperate together on this land of Shenshui?"
Huang Tingfang and his son were both delighted and nodded: "Of course, I would love to!"
The Whampoa Group is too powerful, no one in Hong Kong can match it. Not only that, the Whampoa Group's ability to raise funds is simply unmatched.
The cash cows are Huangpu Group and Orange Technology.
Hao Qingwen was called again, and the two sides quickly agreed to a 50-50 cooperation, with Huangpu Group taking the lead in auctioning, building planning, construction, sales, etc.
After chatting for a while, Liu Zhicheng said, "Mr. Huang, your Huang family has very deep roots in Singapore. If there is an opportunity, how about cooperating on a business project together?"
Huang Tingfang immediately said, "Of course, we will definitely cooperate if there is a chance!"
Liu Zhicheng nodded. He had also been considering one thing recently, which was to spread Huangpu Group's investments overseas and inland.
Although overseas real estate has low profit margins, if the local situation is stable, it will be a very good investment environment.
Therefore, this year and next year, Liu Zhicheng is considering buying office buildings in Europe and the United States at a bargain price and entering the Star City.
.........
The presidential suite of the Marco Polo Hotel is decorated with many colorful flowers.
Hong Kong does not produce fresh flowers, so most of them are airlifted from overseas.
Liu Zhicheng sat on the sofa reading a newspaper with a faint smile on his face.
It turned out that he had seen Yuan Jingjing (also known as Wing Yi) participating in this year's Miss Hong Kong competition, so he had an idea and asked his bodyguard to invite her to dinner.
Unexpectedly, he agreed so quickly!
This week is the Miss Hong Kong finals. If people find out that the Miss Hong Kong champion had a secret meeting with the boss of ATV before being elected, it will definitely be good news.
It seems that all the Asian Sisters from ATV are not good this year. Both Pauline Chan and Elaine Ng were "tragic figures" in their previous lives, and neither of them can be helped up.
Chen Baolian started making erotic films, and then hung out with bigwigs of Taiwanese gangs, becoming one of the "Four Crazy Men".
Wu Qili was Jack's mistress, but Jack was not as generous as Liu Zhicheng. He was stingy and caused suffering to others.
Jack is indeed very frugal. In his previous life, even Lin Jiao had to wait for more than ten years before she had the chance to get access to his property. According to Jack himself, he was worried that Lin Jiao was here to share his property.
After a while, there was a knock on the door. Liu Zhicheng got up, walked to the door and opened it.
"Ms. Yuan, welcome!"
Liu Zhicheng invited Yuan Jingjing in with a smile. He looked elegant and graceful, but he just wanted to do some dirty things.
At this time, Yuan Jingjing's face is full of collagen and looks very tender;
She has big wavy hair and her outfit today is quite carefully prepared. A pink dress, which matches her tall figure, makes her look very beautiful and elegant.
Yuan Jingjing was a little nervous at this time. The person she was with was no simple man. He was a legendary tycoon in Hong Kong.
When she received the invitation, she felt very complicated.
Recently, she has received invitations from many wealthy people, which made her sigh that participating in the Miss Hong Kong pageant is indeed a good opportunity to change her destiny.
But she refused all the invitations because she wanted to consider those social activities after winning the championship.
However, when Liu Zhicheng's invitation came, she agreed without much thought.
Although everyone in Hong Kong knew that Liu Zhicheng was a playboy, he had a very good reputation. The women who dated him were either given top-notch villas or arranged careers for themselves, becoming strong women that everyone envied.
"Mr. Liu, why did you invite me to dinner here?" Yuan Jingjing looked at the flowers decorated in the room, her face full of intoxication.
Liu Zhicheng led Yuan Jingjing on a tour and said, "This is the presidential suite of the hotel. It can be used for banquets. Look at these more than 20 kinds of flowers. Only when they are arranged here will they bloom for you alone."
Yuan Jingjing was immediately lost. The environment here was so good. She wanted to live such a romantic and wealthy life. Moreover, the room decorated with more than 20 kinds of flowers was really like a fairyland.
Liu Zhicheng looked at Yuan Jingjing and thought to himself that it was indeed the case.
It's different if she follows me, even though it's only temporary, and I can do it without anyone noticing, so it won't affect her happy life in the future. "Thank you, Mr. Liu!" Yuan Jingjing's happy and clear voice rang out.
Liu Zhicheng nodded, then made a phone call and arranged for someone to serve the food.
"Sit down and have dinner together!" Liu Zhicheng pulled out a chair like a gentleman and invited.
At this time, Yuan Jingjing had already lost her sense of direction and sat down dizzy.
Liu Zhicheng sat down opposite him and said, "I am very optimistic about you winning the Miss Hong Kong title this time. It's a pity that you didn't participate in our Miss Asia competition!"
Yuan Jingjing didn't know how to answer for a moment. Although ATV has grown in the past two years, she had always wanted to be Miss Hong Kong.
"Thank you for your encouragement!" Yuan Jingjing said with her head down.
Liu Zhicheng immediately said in a friendly manner: "Don't be nervous, I'm not that scary, can't you see that? You and I are about the same age, there is no communication barrier between us!"
As expected, Yuan Jingjing was no longer restrained and began to talk to Liu Zhicheng actively.
After a while, the waiter knocked on the door and began to serve the food.
"Boss, do you need any service inside?" a manager asked respectfully.
Liu Zhicheng said: "Put it at the door. I will greet you if you need me!"
"Ok!"
After the people left, Yuan Jingjing asked curiously, "Is this hotel yours?"
Liu Zhicheng smiled and said, "Why, do you often come to take care of our business?"
Yuan Jingjing immediately said, "No way, a five-star hotel is that expensive!"
Liu Zhicheng stood up, picked up a piece of shrimp for Yuan Jingjing himself, then picked up the red wine glass and the two of them toasted.
"You have just met a noble person. You will soon be able to have a life like this every day!"
Yuan Jingjing's face suddenly turned red. Why did this man reveal his cards so quickly? Should she agree?
Liu Zhicheng did not leave. Instead, he lifted Yuan Jingjing's chin, took a look at her twice, and then impressed her.
"woohoo"
Returning to his seat again, Liu Zhicheng said with a smile: "Let's eat!"
Yuan Jingjing was conquered by Liu Zhicheng's dominance and said with her head down: "Yeah"
Then, the two of them ate and chatted, and Yuan Jingjing finally said, "Mr. Liu, aren't you married already?"
Liu Zhicheng smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
"You're still here to provoke me!"
"What's the problem?"
Yuan Jingjing was suddenly speechless. If there was a problem, she would have to leave now, and she seemed very reluctant!
Seeing that things were almost done, Liu Zhicheng came to Yuan Jingjing again, made a gentlemanly "please" gesture, and said, "Let's dance together!"
He only now understands how popular ballroom dancing, which he thought was boring in his previous life, is so popular in this era.Of course, it also depends on who you dance with.
As Miss Hong Kong, I must have received some training in ballroom dancing.
Yuan Jingjing handed her hand to Liu Zhicheng, slowly stood up, took notes, and the two danced to the music.
Liu Zhicheng stared at Yuan Jingjing as if he was admiring a treasure.
"Mr. Liu, your eyes are so scary, as if you want to eat someone!" Yuan Jingjing's eyes were already a little blurred, and her body was half-held in Liu Zhicheng's arms.
Liu Zhicheng said: "I'm going to eat you soon!"
Yuan Jingjing exclaimed, "Isn't that too fast?"
Liu Zhicheng used facts to tell the woman how she was conquered by a man in two hours.
First, this woman has good skin; second, this woman has a really tall figure; finally, this woman has really good taste.
Liu Zhicheng hugged Yuan Liangliang, who was in great pain, and leaned against the bed.
"It hurts so much, you lied to me, and said it was comfortable!" Yuan Jingjing said weakly and coquettishly.
Liu Zhicheng touched the smooth back of the person, and the delicate texture made people sigh, it's good to be young. No wonder men are so loyal.
"Think about it carefully. Did you feel comfortable in the end?"
"I will not tell you!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, you will take the initiative to tell me next time!"
"I hate it!"
After a while of cuddling, Liu Zhicheng carried Yuan Jingjing into the bathroom and took a bath together.
It almost happened again, luckily Liu Zhicheng is a gentle man, unlike that kid Liu Luanxiong. He was mourning for last year's Miss Hong Kong in his heart.
Yes, Liu Cixin was hooking up with Cheng Farong, so Liu Zhicheng had to stop himself from doing so to avoid giving others the opportunity to take advantage of him.
When they returned to the restaurant again, both of them changed into bathrobes. Yuan Liangliang's fair skin was exposed on her chest, which was very eye-catching.
Liu Zhicheng made a phone call, ordered a few new dishes, and asked the waiter to come in and clean the table.
On the sofa, the two of them stuck together again. The waitress who was cleaning the table didn't dare to look at them any more, but couldn't help but take a peek.
Back at the table, both of them had good appetites!
During this time, Liu Zhicheng took the initiative to say, "How about I give you a thousand-square-foot house?"
Yuan Jingjing looked at Liu Zhicheng in disbelief, then quickly stood up and sat in Liu Zhicheng's arms.
"Really? It'll cost more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, right?"
"About two million Hong Kong dollars! You better behave next time to repay my kindness!"
"Yeah! Are you really good at that?"
Liu Zhicheng was horrified and asked, "How did you know this? Did the news leak out?"
Yuan Jingjing laughed and said, "Are you kidding me? It was you who performed so well just now. Although I haven't experienced it myself before, I have heard about it from my friends!"
In fact, the next morning, Liu Zhicheng made Yuan Jingjing realize what a real man is.
Before leaving, Yuan Jingjing said with a bitter face: "There are only three days left before the finals. If I walk like this, it will be so embarrassing."
Liu Zhicheng smiled and said, "I'll have someone take you to transfer the ownership tomorrow. As for the Miss Hong Kong title, it doesn't matter whether you want it or not!"
"No way, with a champion title, you will definitely feel more conquered!"
Wow, you adapted so quickly!
