Reborn Capital Madman

During the stock market frenzy in Hong Kong in the early 1970s, countless people were cut off from their fortunes, but the real big winners took the opportunity to accumulate the funds needed for development, and continued to thrive during the trough period when others were crying.

For example, Jardine Matheson, the first consortium in Hong Kong, has ambitiously formulated a ten-year redevelopment plan for the Central District.

Jardine Matheson's Land Company is the largest landowner in the Central District of Hong Kong Island and owns many buildings in prime locations. However, these buildings have a long history, often dating back more than half a century. The Central District Redevelopment Plan is

To further develop the value of these lands, Jardine Matheson announced that the amount of funds used is 600 million.

Take the Alexandria Building, which was first rebuilt by Jardine Matheson. The first-generation Alexandria Building was built in 1904, and the second-generation Alexandria Building was built in 1953. The current phase of construction belongs to the third generation.

The height of the building will increase to 34 floors, thereby increasing a large amount of rentable space.

Another example is that another British-owned foreign firm that has always been making a fortune - Taikoo. In recent years, it has been developing private residences on the land vacated by Taikoo Dockyard and named it "Taikoo Shing". It is a large-scale complex.

Community.

Of course, Chinese capital is not willing to be alone. According to its own capabilities, it is constantly moving in the fields of residential buildings, industrial buildings, commercial buildings, etc. But when it comes to development achievements, the only one who can compete with British capital is Gao Xian.

, the happy group created by one hand.

One proof is that, measured by the index of land reserves, not to mention Chinese capital, even British capital is included. That is to say, large foreign banks such as Jardine Matheson and Swire are qualified to compare with Gaoxing Group.

Through Gao Xian's capital operation, Gaoxing Group has two major sources of land acquisition, one is the Milk Company, and the other is the core assets transferred from Huangpu Shipyard; and whether it is in a prime location, the land owned by the Milk Company is the second largest.

In Central, otherwise, the Land Company, a large landowner in Central at that time, would not have competed with Gao Xian.

The Royal Building, which is about to be put into use, is a commercial building built on the Dairy Company's land in Causeway Bay. It is 42 stories high, with a construction area of ​​more than 800,000 square feet and a rentable area of ​​more than 600,000 square feet.

It is the largest commercial building in the Causeway Bay area and has become a well-deserved landmark. People can have a panoramic view of Victoria Harbor from the top of the building.

A more than 20-storey Xinhua Pedestrian Building in Central District and a more than 40-storey Royal Building in Causeway Bay have announced that Happy Group, a newcomer, has successfully established itself in the Hong Kong real estate industry.

It is necessary to point out that in the real estate development industry, there are very few companies that take over all aspects of planning, design, construction, supervision, etc., which can all be outsourced. The core lies in how to effectively build these processes into an organic whole, and Gaoxing Group

Gaoxing Industrial, its subsidiary responsible for real estate development, has been cultivating such a team in recent years.

Gao Xian has many good connections. His old father-in-law Yi Mingzhe, Wang Nian Jiao Huo Yingdong, Ma Jingxi, etc. are all experienced in the field of real estate development, so it is a natural progression for him to enter the real estate industry.

Of course, this cannot conceal the objective fact that Gaoxian's stalls are very large. Gaoxing Group will build private residences and commercial buildings on the land of the Milk Company and Huangpu Dockyard, and build industrial buildings on the land of Gaoxian Industrial Village. Especially the Hong Kong dollar

The successive depreciations of the pound and the US dollar have caused a significant increase in the cost of the construction industry in Hong Kong. The intensive development of such a large-scale land bank requires huge funds, which is absolutely inseparable from the strong support of banks.

Shen Bi, the vice chairman of Hui Feng Bank, had the experience to see this clearly, and put a halter on Gao Xian's wild horse by running a profitable bank that was half-dead, in order to reduce the threat to British capital.

However, outsiders, including Shen Bi, did not truly understand the extent of Gao Xian's success in overseas investments. He had unadulterated strength to support his ambitions.

Furthermore, the Xiangjiang property market is a deformed existence. Once the market happens, it can only be described as crazy, which is no less than the stock market. The current situation of the Hong Kong property market is beginning to show that it has emerged from the stock market crash, the world oil crisis, etc. Waiting for signs of negative effects.

Property market prices are complicated to talk about. To put it simply, the most popular private residences in Xiangjiang are units with an area of ​​less than 1,000 square feet. They are called small and medium-sized buildings and account for up to 90% of the completed units every year. For small residential buildings with an area of ​​less than 400 square feet, the proportion is about 50%. According to the results of Gaoyi's market research, the average selling price per square foot is HK$265.

Let’s talk about commercial buildings. The Chinatown, which was put into use this year, belongs to the category of Grade A office buildings. The unused office spaces of Gaoxing and Gaoyi are only for rent and not for sale. The monthly rent is an average of about HK$7 per square foot, and Gao Xian is still in charge of taking care of it. Relevant merchants provide generous prices in the Central District.

The land development in the Central District of Hong Kong Island has basically been completed, and Causeway Bay is becoming the second hotspot. The newly built landmark of Causeway Bay, the Royal Building, is specially used by others compared to the Xinhua Pedestrian Street, which is larger for self-use.

Thanks to the prosperity of Causeway Bay, the monthly rent of the Royal Building ranges from HK$15 per square foot to HK$30 per square foot. As for the selling price, according to Hong Kong real estate industry regulations, it is at least a hundred times the rent.

Calculated in this way, the annual income that the Royal Building can bring to Gaoxing Group is calculated in units of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. The investment of nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars will not take long to recover. With Gao Xian's hidden strength, The pressure on him to move around in the Xiangjiang real estate industry is not as great as his opponents secretly analyzed.

Of course, with all the acting, Gao Xian worked very hard to make the landmark commercial building he built in Causeway Bay a prosperous place. Not only did he name it the Royal Building without any lower limit, but he also specially invited the British Crown Prince to be ingenious. Charles cut the ribbon, and the majestic Prince Charles was not immune to the customs.

In fact, Prince Charles is very interested in this trip. The reason is very simple. Members of the royal family also have to eat, drink, sleep, and sleep, especially the young Prince Charles. He pretends to be cool, picks up girls, and enjoys... How can you do without money? And the British side is not only economical The general situation is not good, and the developed media are also keeping a close eye on it. In comparison, Xiangjiang, thousands of miles away from the British mainland, is a very easy place to make money.

After Charles arrived in Xiangjiang with his girlfriend, the ambassador's daughter, Gao Xian gave a high-level reception. Anyway, it was to make the young prince fully feel the supreme honor, and then make him willingly become a super star for the royal mansion. Cheers from the Wangpu platform.

With the addition of Prince Charles' halo, the popularity of the Royal Mansion has indeed skyrocketed, and the people rushing to grab the popular shop are almost overwhelmed. In addition to the retail, catering and other companies under the Gao Gao Group that naturally settled in, it has also attracted many well-known jewelry and watches. Wait for the merchant to arrive.

It is worth mentioning that the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department moved its headquarters to the Imperial House.

Gao Xian is not proud of the prosperity of the Imperial Building. After all, apart from the fact that the land of the Imperial Building did not follow the "old script" and fell into the hands of Yihe, the high value of the Imperial Building is evident.

It turns out that although Yihe later moved out of Hong Kong and sold the Royal Mansion, the Royal Mansion was not cheap. For example, one of the transactions was that for a price of 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, it was sold to a female celebrity.

And in the hands of the famous Liu Daxiong.

Gao Xian can be sincerely humble, and outsiders can only admire Gao Xian as the God of Wealth. He can make a lot of money no matter what he does. His desire to take advantage of others' glory has become stronger unconsciously.

point.

It has to be said that as long as Gao Xian is around, the mysterious and mysterious goodwill attached to the Gao family's business kingdom will continue to grow. Not to mention that the golden body is indestructible, it is not something that just anyone can plot.

Prince Charles, who had made a lot of face and money, took Gao Xian's arm and told him, "David, if there will be such excitement in the future, please remember to inform me."

Gao Xian didn't care whether Prince Charles, who was addicted to earning appearance fees, had been led astray. He patted his chest and promised, "I will also build a world conference center and a world trade building. When the time comes, I must invite His Highness the Prince to visit."

"Then it's settled." Prince Charles nodded repeatedly, "I won't stay any longer. We'll get together after you go to London."

Gao Xian was slightly surprised and said: "Xiangjiang is so lively, and it's rare that the media doesn't pay close attention to it. Why don't Your Highness the Prince relax and have fun for a while longer?"

Prince Charles shook his head and sighed: "I would like to, but as Christmas is approaching, the number of interactions between the royal family members and the public increases, and I really can't get away from it."

After Gao Xian laughed in understanding, he said no more, and sent Prince Charles off to Xiangjiang with good food, drink and hospitality.

…

Christmas in the West is indeed around the corner. The Christmas sales season, which was fostered by the Hong Kong government's massive efforts to hold the Hong Kong Festival in the past few years, exudes an alluring atmosphere of money. The constant flow of customers in the Royal Building makes the businesses staying there happy.

The flowers bloomed, and the God of Wealth was indeed the God of Wealth.

However, Gao Xian couldn't care less about reading the beautiful report, because Yi Huirong was pregnant with one in her belly and another in her arms, and returned to Hong Kong from Toronto for vacation.

It's not that Miss Yi heard some rumors and came back to Xiangjiang to catch someone in bed, but Gao Xian unplannedly took over the bank, which made her too busy with work. The couple had been separated for a long time, so they took advantage of Christmas to get together.

.

In addition, Gao Xian intends to further participate in social welfare affairs in Hong Kong, such as running for the chairman of Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, chairman of Po Leung Kuk and other prestigious public offices. Miss Yi is a great expert in this field and can serve as a good housekeeper.

, providing valuable advice to her husband.
