Codename Doctor, Moved to Hong Kong

Chapter 9 The hero is late
Upon hearing Zhang Chaoyang's words, He Dong instantly understood Zhang Chaoyang's intention of visiting him.

At present, if we were to ask who owns the most land in Hong Kong, Ho Tung would definitely not dare to claim to be the king. However, if we were to ask who owns the most land among the Chinese.

If Ho Tung were second, no one would dare to claim to be first.

In the past two years, as Ho Tung grew older and his health deteriorated, he had to sell off the land he owned to cash in.

However, Ho Tung's frequency of acquisition was not very high, and he only acquired three or five pieces of land a year.

“Haha, the real estate industry is a good industry, and the real estate industry in Hong Kong is still very popular.

I also own a real estate company, and we could work together if there is a chance.”

"OK!
It is a great honor to be able to cooperate with Mr. He." Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

Zhang Chaoyang has actually studied Ho Tung, a mixed-race Chinese and European man who was once the general manager of Jardine Matheson and the most famous comprador in Hong Kong, known as a comprador family.

After resigning from Jardine Matheson, his main business was overseas trade.

This is similar to what the original owner did.

After he became rich, perhaps influenced by his Chinese ancestry, he bought a lot of real estate. After the Japanese occupied Hong Kong, a large number of foreign businessmen sold their properties and left Hong Kong. Ho Tung took the opportunity to buy at the bottom and acquired a lot of land.

This is how Ho Tung earned the title of Chinese land king.

He is also the largest individual land owner in Hong Kong.

Although it was not the company that owned the most land, all of Ho Tung's land was personal, while the others were held by companies, such as Swire Group and HSBC. These large foreign companies all held a large amount of land.

"Central has always been a restricted area for Chinese people. We Chinese are not allowed to do business in Central. I have been thinking of building a comprehensive skyscraper in Central to boost the morale of us Chinese people." Zhang Chaoyang said with a faint smile.

The comprehensive skyscraper is the bait thrown by Zhang Chaoyang.

Aren't you cooperating with me?

Come on, let's raise funds together and build a comprehensive skyscraper.

What is taken beforehand must be given beforehand.

"Mr. Zhang, you are indeed a generous person. It's really amazing how young people can be looked at!" He Dong exclaimed in praise, picking up the teacup and sipping the tea slowly.

In my mind, I was quickly analyzing the feasibility of building a skyscraper in Central and the future benefits.

After some analysis, I feel that this project is highly feasible. If it is really built into a skyscraper, it will bring not only monetary benefits, but even greater benefits in terms of social status.

But on second thought, He Dong couldn't help but sigh.

His descendants were not very outstanding.

I don’t know if it was because his brilliance was too great that it overshadowed his descendants, so it was difficult for them to even defend the city, let alone expand it.

This is also one of the reasons why Ho Tung frequently sold land and did charity everywhere in recent years.

My children and grandchildren are not as good as me. What do I keep money for?

Ho Tung could not leave no money to his descendants, but he left blessings and connections to them through this method.

As Hong Kong's most famous philanthropist, after his death, others would be somewhat cautious about touching his descendants.

Thinking of their descendants, Ho Tung and Zhang Chaoyang have less interest in cooperating in real estate development.

"Mr. He, thank you for the compliment. I was thinking that since I had just arrived in Hong Kong, I had to do something big to let everyone know that I, Zhang Chaoyang, am here!
The benefits of a skyscraper may take a long time to come, but the advantage is that it will last for a long time, and all future generations will benefit from it. "Just when He Dong wanted to refuse this cooperation, Zhang Chaoyang said lightly.

Zhang Chaoyang's words immediately touched He Dong's heart, especially the sentence that his descendants would benefit from it.

What Ho Tung is most worried about now is his descendants. The Ho family has several branches, which means Ho Tung has several brothers and sisters. He is the second branch, with an older brother and several younger brothers and sisters.

Ho Tung was not worried about outsiders. The Ho family's reputation was well known and outsiders generally did not dare to touch the Ho family. However, it was hard to say about the other branches of the Ho family.

None of Ho Tung's own descendants were outstanding, but there were indeed some outstanding nephews.

This sentence, that Zhang Chaoyang's descendants will all benefit from it, really touched Ho Tung.

After receiving the visiting card from Zhang Chaoyang, He Dong asked someone to find out more about Zhang Chaoyang.

The more I inquired, the more frightened I became. I felt like Zhang Chaoyang was the first person I would have wanted to have as a son.

Although Zhang Chaoyang had cooperation with the Japanese, Great Britain, Germany, America, France and other countries in Shanghai, he was considered a comprador and had a big smuggling business, involving both the black and white worlds.

However, Zhang Chaoyang's reputation in the Shanghai Stock Exchange is not bad. He has never bullied others by taking advantage of his power. Occasionally, when someone is bullied by foreigners, they come to Zhang Chaoyang for help, and he will speak up for the other party and seek justice.

It was for this reason that He Dong agreed to let Zhang Chaoyang visit his home.

If Zhang Chaoyang was a big traitor hated by everyone, He Dong would definitely not associate with him.

"I heard that Mr. He has some land on Queen's Road. I wonder if Mr. He can help me?" Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

"After listening to Mr. Zhang's plan, an old man like me, my blood is boiling. This is a great feat that will bring honor to us Chinese.

How about we cooperate?

I will invest in the land and some cash, and we will build this skyscraper together." He Dong said, looking at Zhang Chaoyang with sharp eyes.

"It would be best if Mr. He is willing to cooperate..." Zhang Chaoyang hesitated and stopped talking halfway through his speech.

It was obvious that he was not satisfied with Ho Tung's condition of investing in the company in the form of land and cash.

As an old man, He Dong became more shrewd. He Dong figured out what Zhang Chaoyang wanted in a flash.

“In addition, I still have some land, but I am old and don’t have the energy to develop it.

Just in time, Mr. Zhang wants to work in the real estate industry, so why not transfer the property to him?

This is also a little support from me, an old man, to Mr. Zhang!"

"That's great, I'd like to thank Mr. He first!

Don't worry, I won't let Mr. He suffer any loss. I will buy the land from Mr. He at a 20% premium based on the current market price." Zhang Chaoyang was overjoyed and promised with a smile.

“Really a 20 percent premium?

I have a lot of land in my hands!" He Dong was stunned by Zhang Chaoyang's words, and then he reminded him.

Because the regulation that ordinary residential buildings cannot exceed five floors has not been abolished, the profits from real estate are not very high.

Zhang Chaoyang's 20% premium has exceeded the profits of many real estate developers.

Some people may say, how could a real estate developer’s profit be only 20%?

In fact, real estate developers would wake up smiling in their dreams if they could get a net profit of 20%.

A piece of land is worth one hundred yuan, and a 20% profit is twenty yuan, which seems not much. But the real estate developer actually only spent ten yuan on the land and made twenty yuan. With this calculation, is the profit still low?
“I know, it’s because Mr. He has a lot of land that I offer such a price!
My philosophy has always been that everyone can make money, cooperation can lead to win-win results, and everyone is happy is the real happiness!" Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

"Haha, it turns out that there is no false reputation under a great name!
Compared with Mr. Zhang, I, an old man, have lived for decades in vain. I didn’t understand what you said until I was eighty years old. "He Dong said with a hearty smile.
