Chapter 158: Tin Shui Wai (Third Update!Ask for Subscription!Ask for a Monthly Pass!)
"Hey, Kazuo!"
Shao Yifu is not short, and when he stood up like this, someone suddenly greeted him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Listening to the tone of this speech, it is natural to be the same generation as him.
Shao Yifu looked over to the side of talking, and saw a chubby old man in his sixties and seventies who was in good spirits, walking over with a smile.
"Pinggui!"
Looking at him, Shao Yifu's thin face showed a smile, and he stepped forward to shake his hands, "Why are you here too?"
"I just finished talking to someone and happened to stop over for a sip of authentic Malaysian coffee. The chubby old man looked at Yin Jun, who was standing up next to him, and said with a smile, "Your grandchildren?"
Shao Yifu smiled unconsciously, "If I want to have such a grandson, I will wake up laughing in my dreams...... Come, Pinggui, let me introduce you, this is Yin Jun, the most famous screenwriter genius in Xiangjiang today. The now popular "Bao Qingtian", "Wulin Gaiden" and "Chu Liuxiang" are all his works. ”
"Oh?" the chubby old man perked up, "You are Yin Jun who wrote "Bao Qingtian"? Tsk, the young man is amazing! Nowadays, young people, there are few people who know history, ancient etiquette, and opera art so well!"
"Bao Qingtian" is very popular in the Chinese circle, not only young people and aunts, but also many elderly people, because its form of expression is close to opera in many aspects, especially Wei Xiaofan's performance, which is absolutely proper and very conspicuous.
Shao Yifu introduced to Yin Jun at this time, "This is my old friend Zhao Pinggui, their Zhao family is a super landlord in Tianshuiwei, the absolute first family! And Lao Zhao is one of the elders of the Zhao family." ”
Yin Jun's eyes lit up unconsciously, "Hello Mr. Zhao!"
Speaking of Tin Shui Wai, many people may not know what the place is, but if you talk about the "Tin Shui Wai Two-Part Series" filmed by the famous director Xu Anhua, I believe many people have seen it.
Tin Shui Wai, a very well-known area with serious underdevelopment, has a variety of problems, which have become more and more prominent after the economic recession of Hong Kong.
Therefore, Xu Anhua made two films about it in a row to discuss the root causes of various problems contained in them.
And this Tin Shui Wai, that is, most of the land in Tin Shui Wai that we see today, is basically this Tin Shui Wai Zhao family.
In the 70s, they owned 488 hectares of land in Tin Shui Wai, Yuen Long, that is, a land area of 4.88 million square meters.
However, because Tin Shui Wai was too remote and the Zhao family had limited strength, they could not develop it themselves, so in 1978, that is, this year, they negotiated with Cheung Kong Group and Wheelock & Co., and prepared to convert all the land into shares and set up a joint venture company with them to jointly develop such a large piece of land.
After lengthy negotiations, in June this year, the Zhao family's family fund, Liande Trust, sold a total of 25 million square feet of 232.26 hectares of land, accounting for almost half of all their land, to Li Chaoren's Cheung Kong Group and Wheelock & Co.
The terms of the sale were not a simple direct cash transaction, but Cheung Kong Group and Wheelock & Co. bought the huge land, and then injected the land into the Luen Tak Trust, taking a part of the shares of the Luen Tak Trust, and promising to develop the 25 million square feet of land within a certain period of time.
And the price of these lands is kept secret from the outside world, but Yin Jun, who has read some information about Li Chaoren's fortune, knows that the price of these lands is only 1.5 yuan per square foot!!
At present, the land price of high-end commercial housing in the prime area of Xiangjiang has reached 800-1500 yuan per square foot, and as long as it can be called the city center, it will also cost 400-800 yuan per square foot. – For example, Mei Foo Sun Chuen and Taikoo Shing are like that.
Even in the more remote Tai Po district, the land price is $300-600 per square foot.
Although the average price in Yuen Long in the New Territories is as low as $100-400 per square foot, and the price of land in Tin Shui Wai on the edge of Yuen Long is the lowest in Hong Kong, perhaps less than $80, but now it is only sold at a price of $1.5 per square foot, and there is no such price in the market!
Be!
Tin Shui Wai is the poorest and most backward area of the Xiangjiang River, this is located in the north of Yuen Long, New Territories, the Tin Shui Wai area is only separated from the West District of Nanwan by a narrow Nan Wan Bay, so countless people from the mainland, the first place to choose to live, is basically here, and this is originally the place where the bottom residents of the Xiangjiang River live, all kinds of people together, resulting in a mixed and very chaotic place.
In addition, Tin Shui Wai is too remote, not to mention that there is no plan for the subway for ten or eight years, the means of transportation are also very primitive, the bus line is pitiful, and the time is also very pitiful, after seven or eight o'clock the bus will not come here, so if you want to return to Tin Shui Wai, you will either drive, or take the simple means of transportation in the electric tricycle.
To put it mildly, this is a place where even the daughters of poor families don't want to marry.
This is the lowest level of the Hong Kong River, which is easy to forget compared to Tiu Keng Leng - Tiu Keng Leng is on the Kwun Tong side, which is about 2 hours' drive and boat ride from the most prosperous Hong Kong Island area.
As a result, the price of land here has not been able to go up.
But that's not a reason to pay $1.5 per square foot.
If this price is quoted, it is guaranteed that thousands of Xiangjiang people will come to buy land and repair houses tomorrow.
The real reason is that the Zhao family wants to jointly develop Tin Shui Wai through cooperation with Cheung Kong Group and Wheelock and build it into a large-scale housing estate, so that it will become standardized and modernized.
Only in this way can the remaining 250 hectares of land in their hands be worth billions or even billions of Hong Kong dollars, and the houses they build can feed and drink enough for hundreds of Zhao families just to be rented, and they can live a good life leisurely.
Now there is nothing here in Tin Shui Wai, if they don't make a big profit, how can Cheung Kong Group and Wheelock be willing to come here to develop?
Not to mention anything else, just the transportation of construction machinery, as well as the development and construction of surrounding roads, etc., are a huge amount of work, without enough benefits, how can they come to such a remote place to develop real estate?
Hence the emergence of a cabbage price of $1.5 per square foot.
On the whole, although the Zhao family is suffering a loss in the moment, if they do it according to their estimates, ten years later, the Zhao family will be able to become the leading real estate family in Xiangjiang, with countless real estate, enough for all their children and grandchildren to enjoy a comfortable life.
It's a pity that in this world, only Yin Jun knows now that Tin Shui Wai is a super pit.
Whether it is Cheung Kong Group, Wheelock or Derun, they have not played Tin Shui Wai at all.
The best Cheung Kong Group's development in Tin Shui Wai is only about 100 hectares of land, which occupies a little more than 20% of the land.
The rest is basically a pit, the government has built a large number of public housing here, many low-income residents live here, because of the lack of economic consumption power support, the business here has not been able to develop.
If the business does not develop, the supporting facilities will not follow, and the supporting facilities are not perfect, and the middle and high-income people will not relocate, only the poor people will live here, because poverty, there are many problems...... It's an endless loop.
It is also this endless cycle that makes Tin Shui Wai the poorest and most backward area in Xiangjiang even in 2020.
Li Chaoren's Changjiang Industry made a lot of money from here and left, but the development of the Zhao family in Tianshuiwei, which they promised at the beginning, was completely empty talk, and the sense of responsibility was completely unqualified.
Think about it.
The cost price of land in Cheung Kong Group was only $1.5 per square foot, and even after the government's buyback, the cost was not higher than $100 per square foot, and when the first phase of Jiahu Villa opened in 1991, the price per square foot was $1,850! In 1996, it skyrocketed to $2,936! The last batch was launched in 1997 and the price was already over $4,000 per square foot!
Cheung Kong Group has earned at least 15 billion Hong Kong dollars from Tin Shui Wai, but instead of bringing vitality and hope to Tin Shui Wai, they have devastated this already fragile place more and more.
If Cheung Kong Group follows the plan discussed with the Zhao family before, seriously develops and does a good job in supporting facilities, even if Tin Shui Wai is still not rich in the future, it will definitely not be like in 2020, and it will definitely be much better.
……
When Yin Jun turned around from his thoughts, Zhao Pinggui had already chatted with Shao Yifu about the same.
Zhao Pinggui politely Yin Jun said a few words before bidding farewell to Shao Yifu and returning to his own position.
Yin Jun could see that he was the only one in his place, because there was only one cup and one plate.
After saying goodbye to Shao Yifu at the door of the café, Yin Jun stood at the door and pondered for a while, then walked into the café again and came to Zhao Pinggui's side.
"Mr. Zhao, can I sit here?" Yin Jun asked politely.
Zhao Pinggui, who was reading the newspaper, was slightly stunned, and immediately laughed: "Okay!"
Sitting down, Yin Jun asked the waiter to serve him another cup of milk tea, and then asked slowly: "Mr. Zhao, I watched the news two months ago, and I heard that you sold a lot of land to Cheung Kong Group and Wheelock?"
"Well, yes. Zhao Pinggui said with a smile, most of the transactions between Liande Trust and Cheung Kong Group and Wheelock have been announced to the outside world, but there is still some ambiguity in terms of specific land area and price.
"So, I don't know if you're interested in selling a little more land?" Yin Jun asked with a smile, his eyes surprisingly clear. (To be continued.) )
