Chapter 600 Pop Mart(2/3)
Historically, due to insufficient land use, Central has carried out many land reclamation projects. The Hong Kong Club, Queen's Square, Legislative Council Building and other buildings were all built on the basis of the land reclamation projects.
In the 1970s, Central entered its heyday, and various skyscrapers were continuously built and towering here.
This has gradually become one of the financial centers in Asia, and many people in Xiangjiang are proud to work in Central.
The black steedi on Tao Yushu drove into the underground garage of Benda Center at No. 89 King Kong Road, where Liang Botao, who is rich in fertile, has been waiting here.
"Teacher Lin!" Liang Botao shook hands with Tao Yushu.
For many years, Tao Yushu has been a loyal customer of Liang Botao. Recently, Baifuqin has been responsible for the listing business in Asia and Europe, and the two parties can be said to have cooperated continuously.
"I'll introduce you to you. This is Mr. Kishida Toruya from EIE. He is entrusted by EIE and Takahiro Development and is fully responsible for the rental and sale of the Benda Center."
Under Liang Botao's introduction, Tao Yushu greeted Kishida Toruya, and then took the elevator to visit the building surrounded by everyone.
The Benda Center turned out to be the Golden Bell Finance Plaza Building jointly funded by Everbright, Kerry and other consortiums.
In 1987, Benda International, founded by Australian businessman Aaron Benda, was listed in Xiangjiang. It was enthusiastically sought after by the capital market and oversubscribed by 47 times.
After Benda International went public, it became famous for its large-scale investment. In just one year, it successively purchased 23.77% of the equity of Jinzhong Finance Plaza Building, Banshan Land Property, and Xiangjiang TV.
In 1988, Benda International ranked tenth among the top ten chaebols in Xiangjiang for its controlling company's market value of HK$10.8 billion, and then began to quickly sell assets and fade out of the Xiangjiang market.
The Golden Bell Finance Plaza Building, renamed Benda Center, was sold to Japan's EIE Group and Gaoli Development for HK$3.78 billion at the time.
The Benda Center was completed in 1988 and consists of a group of Gemini octagonal buildings, one with a 36-story building and the other with a 40-story building. The two buildings are connected by platforms.
The total construction area is as high as 1050322, that is, 97575 square meters.
Because of its unique appearance, it is nicknamed "koala" by Central Workers. It is one of the important buildings in the Central Region, which is now full of tall buildings.
Buildings of this scale have caught up with the current hot real estate market in Xiangjiang. EIE Group and Gaori Development have seen the opportunity and planned to cash out and leave the market, so the price is naturally not cheap.
HK$6.36 billion!
If this transaction can be reached, it will immediately set a new record for Xiangjiang commercial building transactions in 1993.
Liang Botao hosted Baifuqin, who was well-informed in the business world of Xiangjiang.
A week ago, EIE Group and Gaori Development wanted to leave the Benda Center, so he immediately became concerned.
The price of HK$6.36 billion is undoubtedly an astronomical figure. If it is compared with the price when EIE Group and Gaori Development purchased that year, it will rise by 70%.
But times have changed. Now even the office buildings in Shanghuan are close to 5,000 yuan. Benda Center is located in Central C.
Bit.
It is an almost non-renewable scarce resource, and it is definitely not expensive to add 6200 yuan.
The most important thing is that with the booming development of Xiangjiang's economy, office buildings in Central are becoming more and more popular.
According to statistics from the Hong Kong Government's Poor Property Valuation Department, since 1988, the vacancy rate of office buildings in Central has been below 5% for four consecutive years, and the annual rent increase has repeatedly hit new highs.
In the three years from 1990 to 1992, office rentals in Central have increased by 40%, with monthly rents as high as 45.
Hong Kong dollar.
The annual rental income of HK$530 million is as high as 8.3%, far exceeding the 4.7% of Hong Kong residential properties, and even surpassing many international metropolis in the world.
All of this is thanks to the hot economy of Hong Kong now.
Sky-high buildings like Benda Center are destined to be the only ones that a few rich people and large companies can get involved.
Even though Bai Fuqin has made a lot of money over the years, it is unrealistic to eat this cake alone.
Liang Botao is proficient in financial skills and is best at making big money with small things. He immediately thought of Tao Yushu, who is looking for a new office for Lin's Pictures.
So, today's visit was created.
The Benda Center is huge, so Tao Yushu naturally cannot visit one by one. She only chose the first floor lobby of the center, and looked around the standard floor and platform.
Finally, I went up to the top floor and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
In her vision, the HSBC Headquarters Building and the Bank of China Building stand tall not far away.
At this moment, Tao Yushu couldn't help but feel a sense of pride that was in the world.
Then, she immediately woke up again, shook her head slightly, and reminded herself not to be complacent.
"How does Mrs. Lin feel when standing here?" Liang Botao asked.
He was one position behind Tao Yushu and stood in the rear left position.
Tao Yushu turned his head and did not answer his question, but asked back: "How does Liang Sheng think?"
"I feel like looking down on all living beings, which makes people unable to help but think of Du Fu's poem: I will climb to the top of the mountain and see all the mountains!"
Upon hearing this, Tao Yushu chuckled, "'Ling Jueding' is right, but 'The mountains are small'--"
Her eyes looked out the window again, and the skyscrapers lined up one after another, forming the most spectacular city skyline in Xiangjiang, but her horizons could not be broadened no matter what.
Liang Botao understood and laughed twice.
Kishida Toruya said in Cantonese at this time, "Penda Center is a top-notch high-quality asset in the real estate market in Xiangjiang.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a capital demand in Japan, EI and Gaodian Development would never have taken action easily.
Lin Tai and Liang Sheng’s eyes are as sharp as torch——”
Tao Yushu automatically filtered out the Japanese compliments and just nodded, which was a response to Tatsuya the other side of Kishi.
Liang Botao observed her expression and offered goodbye to Toroya Kishida.
After Liang Botao went downstairs, he got into Tao Yushu's car and waited for Heiji to drive out of the underground garage in Benda Center.
He asked Tao Yushu:
"What does Mrs. Lin think?"
"6.36 billion, the price is still too high!"
Without Kishida Toruya, the two of them had no worries about talking.
"It's certain that expensive, housing prices in Xiangjiang are soaring too fast. But this is an office building in Central after all,
Scarcity is precious.
Our two companies work together to lend out a portion of the funds to leverage this high-quality asset with a small amount of funds as much as possible.
Make a profit without losing money.
In addition, we can also-
Liang Botao’s methods are not very clever, such as cooperation, loans, setting up land companies and property companies, listing financing, selling stocks to cash out, and looking for takeovers are the most common tricks in the Xiangjiang business world in this era.
As long as it operates properly and finally goes public successfully, the two companies only need to pay one or two billion yuan to easily leverage assets of tens of billions of dollars.
Listening to Liang Botao's plan, Tao Yushu couldn't help but distract himself and sigh at the magic of capital games.
She never intended to get involved in the real estate industry, but this time she didn't mind crossing the border in order to find a "home" for Lin's Pictures.
Having an idea in mind, Tao Yushu discussed specific strategies and profit distribution issues with Liang Botao, and finally said, "Then let Liang Sheng and Bai Fuqin dominate this matter."
"With Mrs. Lin's trust, this cooperation will definitely be invincible!"
"Thank you for your hard work in Liang Sheng."
According to the agreement between the two parties, the investment ratio of Lin's Pictures and Baifuqin to acquire the funds of the Benda Center is 6:4.
However, for the 6.36 billion transaction funds, only about 1.9 billion was needed in the early stage, and the rest were all used to seek loans from the bank.
Between chatting and laughing, a business worth hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars has been decided.
Back at No. 75, Deepwater Bay Road, the nanny had already prepared the dinner number. Tao Yushu couldn't help but sigh when he was having a meal that the rich used real estate to make money was even more exaggerated than robbing money.
Lin Chaoyang thought to himself, that's what you've never seen a real robbery of money. What's the 18 billion small fight in Xiangjiang? It's almost the same if you multiply it by 200 times.
"Real estate is one of the pillar industries in most countries and regions, and it is normal to have amazing wealth-making efficiency. Hong Kong's economy is too hot now, and the Hong Kong government has another boost, which hiding evil intentions," he said.
Tao Yushu has a slight jaw. Although the Hong Kong government has invested heavily in the public sector, anyone with a discerning eye can actually see that their intention is nothing more than burying mines for the future, but this is an unsolvable plot.
"Sister, if you ask the company to invest in my project, your potential may be no worse than real estate." Tao Yumo took the initiative to mention her "big plan".
Lin Chaoyang asked: "What project?"
Tao Yushu said, "Just the idea you gave her a while ago."
Lin Chaoyang was confused, and then he felt a foot under the table holding his good leg.
"Oh, oh, blind, you said that!"
Lin Chaoyang suddenly felt something, "I just gave Yu Mo a suggestion."
"Do you really think that is a good investment direction?" Tao Yushu asked seriously.
Lin Chaoyang didn't know if it was good. He hadn't talked about business with Tao Yumo at all recently.
Seeing Tao Yumo secretly winking and bowing together again, he had to keep talking nonsense.
"It's good. Yumo - this young man always wants to do something different. From now on, she will take charge of the Yulang organization, and she will have a new look."
Lin Chaoyang really feels that he has a potential to be a leader. Not only does he say lies without blushing, but the key is that he says it just like not saying it. Without decades of leadership skills, how can he be so harmonious?
Seeing that even he said this, Tao Yushu's heart was completely broken.
