Chapter 190 Sincere invitation!
The 54 square feet of land was purchased for HK$14.4 billion, which is equivalent to HK$37500 per square foot, or HK$403660 per square meter.

As mentioned earlier, in 2017, No. 15 Gough Hill Road, The Peak, Hong Kong, was known as the most expensive house in Hong Kong, with an average price of HK$245 million per square meter.

But it is only 1982 now, a gap of 36 years.

During these 36 years, Hong Kong's GDP and per capita GDP have increased eight or nine times, the average price of ordinary properties has increased more than 20 times, and the average price of luxury homes has increased more than 40 times!
What’s more, the most expensive house in 2017 is the top villa on the Peak, which is not necessarily available even if you want to buy it.

Therefore, no matter from which angle you analyze it, this piece of land in Connaught Road Central in Central was indeed sold at a sky-high price!
Although it is HK$75 billion short of the HK$21 billion originally expected by the Hong Kong government, they understand very well that no matter how good the expectations are, they cannot deviate from the actual market's ability to bear them.

At the cocktail party after the auction, Hong Kong government officials, especially the Director of the Lands Department, happily toasted Fang Hexuan in person to thank the richest man for his investment.

Fang Hexuan didn't bother to be polite with them and shamelessly cried poor in front of these officials.

What he meant was that it cost 54 billion just to buy this piece of land. I wonder how much more it will cost to build a new city landmark for Hong Kong on this piece of land.

Hong Kong government officials automatically filtered out the issue of money, but when they heard the term “new landmark”, their curiosity immediately bubbled up!

"I plan to build two conjoined twin towers on this piece of land. Each tower will have 99 floors and a height of more than 550 meters. The building height will reach 508 meters. This will not only be the tallest building in Hong Kong, but also the tallest building in the world!"

"I have even thought of a name for it, the 'Hong Kong Financial Twin Towers'. Once completed, it will become a super landmark in Hong Kong and will attract countless travel enthusiasts to visit the towers, which will greatly stimulate Hong Kong's tourism industry."

Fang Hexuan was just exaggerating, but Hong Kong government officials knew that the richest man was just talking nonsense, so they couldn't help but get excited about the plan.

The construction of two 550-meter-high twin towers, including the initial construction and later decoration, cost a total of to billion yuan, which is an underestimate.

Most people have no idea how many jobs this can create or how much economic growth it can drive, but Hong Kong government officials know it very well.

Moreover, once these two twin towers are built, they will be the most beautiful scenery in Hong Kong both day and night. Not to mention how much tourism output value they will create, at least it will have a tangible added effect on enhancing Hong Kong’s international reputation!
"Mr. Fang, are you serious?"

"Of course it's true. Since I spent 54 billion Hong Kong dollars to buy a piece of land, I naturally built a new landmark. Otherwise, I would not be worthy of the title of the richest man!"

Fang Hexuan really looked down upon the trading plaza built on the original vacant land, which was such a waste of resources!
In such a good location, only two buildings with only 52 floors and a height of more than 200 meters were built.

Moreover, the building's exterior is made of golden glass and materials, which looks tacky and seriously lowers the architectural level of the entire Central!
Only the Hong Kong landowner, Swire Properties, is willing to do this. After all, they own a lot of land in Hong Kong and do not require every building to be perfect.

"But, I have money to buy land, but I really don't have money to build a building!"

Almost all the officials looked at each other and saw each other's helplessness!
Mr. Fang is clearly asking for benefits!

On February 2, EGD Entertainment and Magna Cinemas held a celebration dinner for "Shaolin Temple".

This kung fu movie, shot in mainland China and starring Jet Li, was released in Hong Kong as early as January 1.

Fang Hexuan also brought his entire family, including his grandparents and two uncles, to attend the premiere.

After watching the movie, he brought four cousins ​​to ask Jet Li for his autograph. That's right, Magnum Cinemas strongly requested the leading actor to come to Hong Kong to promote the movie, and Magnum covered all the expenses.

It was on the 21st that Fang Hexuan met the "Kung Fu Emperor" himself.

When the two met, DreamWorks President Liu Tianci was also present. He expressed his boss's idea of ​​signing Jet Li.

The still very young and immature Jet Li was of course very surprised and terrified.

Although DreamWorks movies have not yet entered the mainland, their good reputation and strong production and promotion capabilities have already become famous in the mainland!
Chinese people all pay attention to "legitimate reasons". The name of DreamWorks Films itself makes many people in the mainland feel that it is particularly artistic, which is in line with the literary and artistic pursuits of many people today.

What's more, Fang Hexuan, the boss of DreamWorks Movies, is also a household name in mainland China. He belongs to the first generation of "entrepreneurship mentor", comparable to Gates later. He has also become a child of other people's family in many chicken soup magazines such as Zhiyin and Readers.

Now, this rich and famous boss wants to recruit him. How can Leo not be nervous, panic and distracted?

Fang Hexuan will not recruit just anyone. The joining of big names like Big Nose Dragon, Fatty Wang, Xu Laoguai and Jet Li can really have a positive impact on DreamWorks movies.

For this kind of people, Fang Hexuan would be willing to lower his posture.

It's just to show the attitude of importance. It's not to the extent of spending a fortune on horse bones. What can't be done?
"I know Mr. Li Lianjie still has a contract with the company. I will not be the evil person who forces you to break the rules. When Mr. Li is free, I will say this: as long as you are willing to join, I will welcome you. The salary and treatment are directly comparable to that of Jackie Chan."

"Because I can see the potential in Mr. Li. Your moves are completely different from Jackie Chan's. But you are both future Kung Fu superstars. I will never make a mistake about this!"

"Mr. Li, I am also from Ningbo. You should be able to tell that my Mandarin has no trace of Cantonese. I do not discriminate against mainlanders. We are all Chinese. You do not have to worry about being harassed by Hong Kong societies when you come to Hong Kong to join DreamWorks. No one will dare to look down on you. By joining DreamWorks, you will not only get a high salary, but also the opportunity to become a Chinese superstar."

"If anyone dares to say these words to you, you don't have to think too much, just ignore it, but when I, Fang Hexuan, say this, you can completely believe it, I mean what I say!"

"Join DreamWorks, and I will personally tailor a series of movies for you, Jet Li. Think about it carefully when you go back. DreamWorks can wait for you!"

These words were said by Fang Hexuan to Jet Li on January 1st.

At the celebration banquet on February 2, "Shaolin Temple" broke the Hong Kong box office of 15 million Hong Kong dollars under the protection of the powerful distribution capabilities of Dream Dragon Cinemas.

Of course, the movie hasn’t been taken off the screen yet and is still being shown. It shouldn’t be a problem for it to break 1800 million at the box office in the end.

This time, Fang Hexuan did not continue to invite him, but personally congratulated Jet Li with a glass of champagne!
