Chapter 131 The eldest son Xianshuo (seeking a monthly pass! Seeking a recommendation ticket!)

In 1950, at the beginning of the new year, Wu Guangyao first came to Cheung Kong.

Changjiang Industrial has been established for 2 months, but it has not started to stock up for a long time.

In the past two months, Cheung Kong Industrial has been like a bystander, watching the abnormal development of the "expensive buildings and cheap land" on Hong Kong Island, but indifferent.

Naturally, Wu Guangyao’s idea was to find the most appropriate time to stock up in large quantities.

As expected, things are developing towards Wu Guangyao’s expectations, and the Hong Kong government’s land auctions are often unsold;

Many foreign-funded enterprises have sold their properties one after another, preparing to withdraw from Hong Kong Island.

The crisis on Hong Kong Island has shrouded everyone on Hong Kong Island, and the people are panicked.

Every day there are people spreading rumors, and they are about to call over there, making everyone feel very nervous!

The people who spread the rumors must be for some benefit, so they do this kind of angry things!

The staff of Cheung Kong Holdings saw Wu Guangyao coming to the company, and they all greeted him. This boss is the top wealthy of Hong Kong Island and the idol in the minds of young people!

The ‘Three Musketeers’ of Cheung Kong Industrial came to the office together and prepared to report.

"Boss, on the 10th of this month, Happy Valley has an official land to be auctioned, with an area of ​​110,000 square feet (15 acres), and a starting price of 600,000 Hong Kong dollars."

Wu Guangyao is overjoyed. The starting price has dropped to 30% of the price in the first half of last year. It is time for Cheung Kong to make a move.

At this time, the land on Hong Kong Island is really cheap!

simply does not match the high housing prices, and it is not wrong to say that it is deformed.

"Have you ever photographed this land flow?" Wu Guangyao asked.

If there is no land that has been sold, you should consider it carefully.

After all, I know that there is still half a year left for me!

Are you afraid that there is no chance to buy land that is cheap and in a good location?

"I just passed the auction at the beginning of last month. The recent official land is very difficult to sell at one time. Basically, the auction has been passed two or three times. Boss, do we have to wait?"

"No need. From now on, we will buy all the three million dollars in our hands into land, which will be used as the company's land reserve in the future."

This official land is located at the southern end of the racecourse. Wu Guangyao thought about it, if he builds a group of villas, he will definitely get several times the profit.

15 acres of land, at least 30 villas can be built, and at least 10 million Hong Kong dollars can be sold.

And the land price will not exceed 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, which can be regarded as a bargain for Wu Guangyao.

Before the crisis on Hong Kong Island, this land cost 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

The later generation Zheng Yutong bought 40,000 square feet of land in Happy Valley in 1952, ready to build a villa.

He often sighed: "It would be fine if I bought the land at that time!"

People are always arrogant afterwards, but at this time, real estate is not considered the most expensive business;

Unlike the super rich of later generations, almost all real estate developers!

The wealthy people in this period are very scattered. Finance, shipping, trade, retail, real estate, and public utilities all have famous wealthy people.

Zheng Yutong was the first of the four big families to enter the real estate industry, but after developing the Happy Valley Villas, he never entered the real estate industry again.

It was only in the late 1960s that real estate development was truly developed!

Otherwise, according to his conditions, the head of the four major families would never have the turn of Li Chaoren!

For these rich people, the first pot of gold is often the most difficult to get!

This is the case. Li Chaoren started to make plastics this year and did it for seven years. He almost went bankrupt in the middle. It was not until the first development of plastic flowers on Hong Kong Island in 57 that the business really got on the right track, earning a real pot of gold.

Huo Yingdong is currently digging seaweed on the island. There is no food or fresh water, and he is plagued by sea snakes. When I returned to Hong Kong Island in May, I discovered that the seaweed dug was not enough for the cost, and my savings were lost. He can only earn the first pot of gold when he is in court.

The charter king opened a small trading company at this time. I heard that the office area is no more than 15 square meters. There are four people crowded in it. Even if you go out, you need a colleague to give in before you can go out.

Li Zhaoji and Guo Desheng are a little better, and they do some small or small transactions. The current net worth should not exceed 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Only Zheng Yutong should have a lot of wealth. In recent years, the gold business has been good and he has made a lot of money. Although Chow Tai Fook belongs to his father-in-law, he also has a lot of shares.

Wu Guangyao sometimes thinks of these famous billionaires in later generations. He is very proud of his current situation, and he does not know why!

is definitely not gloating, it is more of a kind, I am much more proud than you!

The 3 million Hong Kong dollars in the hands of Changjiang Industrial will naturally be bought into land during this period of time.

As for the funds required for subsequent construction, Wu Guangyao plans to take out loans and sell off-plan housing, using two strategies.

After all, I really can’t squeeze out any money to develop real estate!

Wu Guangyao then said to Li Xing: "You prepare for a trip to the United States at the end of the month. The main thing is to find an architectural design firm for cooperation and study. Later I plan to build 30 modern buildings on the land of Happy Valley. villa."

"Okay, I plan to take a few designers to the United States for some in-depth study!"

Wu Guangyao nodded. Cheung Kong still has its own designer, but the level is not as high as that of European and American design firms.

"Guangyao, I seem to be giving birth, take me to the hospital!"

Wu Guangyao, in his sleep, suddenly heard Lin Yueru’s voice, a jealous spirit, and suddenly became sober.

I have already demonstrated the process many times, since I won’t waste time, I came downstairs with Lin Yueru in my arms.

Li Cui has awakened the security guard who was sleeping in his clothes and prepared the vehicle.

When I came to the hospital, there were already people waiting.

Naturally, before departure, Wu Guangyao called someone to inform the hospital.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, in the high-end ward, Wu Guangyao’s closest relatives have been gathered.

"Guangyao, who do you think he looks like?" Lin Yueru joyfully hugged Wu Guangyao's eldest son, Wu Xianshuo, and said.

Successfully gave birth to her, she didn't have much strength, but the mother's love was overflowing, and she couldn't put it down with her eldest son.

"Son, he looks like a mother naturally!"

Wu Guangyao is also relieved if Lin Yue can give birth to her eldest son.

It is said that families with succession to the throne will have this idea. Of course Wu Guangyao would think so.

"No, I want him to be like you and be a capable person!" Lin Yueru thought of her husband's huge business empire, and she thought it would be better for her son to be like his father, and to inherit the family business in the future.

Wu Guangyao did not say anything, who knows what will happen in the future!

Maybe the eldest son goes to study in the United States, and then becomes an entrepreneurial partner and invests in Apple or Microsoft!

Or are not interested in doing business, but like to be a scientist and political affairs, what should I do!

"Yueru, would you like to take a break and let us take care of the child!" Zhou Xuefen said cautiously.

For Lin Yueru such a great hero, Zhou Xuefen naturally pleased him, but actually wanted to hug his grandson.

Lin Yueru heard the words, naturally knowing what her mother-in-law meant, and nodded!

Then the child passed in the hands of Zhou Xuefen and Chu Fengyi, Wu Guangyao couldn't help but interject: "The child is still young, put it in the stroller!"

The two reluctantly put Wu Xianshuo in the stroller, and Lin Youde also took back what he was about to say.

The eldest son of Wu Guangyao, Wu Xianshuo was born on January 3, 1950.

Wu Guangyao named his eldest son Wu Xianshuo according to the generational status of'Guang Xian Ying Ming Cheng'.

The eldest son was born, Wu Guangyao took a good rest for seven days and stayed with Lin Yueru.

The executives of   's subsidiaries also didn't come to bother.

After seven days, Wu Guangyao needs to participate in the auction of Happy Valley.

Bring Shi Jun into the auction house, Wu Guangyao was taken aback, unexpectedly many real estate developers came to bid.

Moreover, there are mostly Chinese businessmen. The four big families came to two, the He family and the Li family.

Wu Guangyao looked at Shi Jun with a dazed look!

Shi Jun quickly explained: “It’s mostly lively. Many real estate developers won’t participate in the auction, but it’s more about the situation!”

Wu Guangyao suddenly realized that a group of people watching the fun!

"Boss He and Boss Li, are you here to participate in the land auction today?" Wu Guangyao greeted He Shijian and Li Mingze.

"Look at the market, see that boss Wu is interested in this piece of land today?" Li Mingze said first, and asked Wu Guangyao back.

"Like you guys, look at the market! But I am a novice in real estate, and I might scream later!" Wu Guangyao said haha.

The last time this piece of land was sold at 900,000 Hong Kong dollars, this time it started at 600,000 Hong Kong dollars. Obviously, someone will bid for it.

It's up to the winner!

Simply chatted a few words, and everyone went back to their seats.

Today, everyone is an opponent, there is nothing to say!

The auction began, and the English auctioneer began to bid, pretending to be passionate, but he was panicked!

The first bid was 600,000 Hong Kong dollars. Everyone was watching. We must know that this land would be worth at least 2 million Hong Kong dollars in the first half of 1949.

The starting price is not even one-third. These real estate developers are still deliberately making this auction cold.

"610,000!" A British-owned real estate developer was unable to see it and took the lead in increasing the price by 10,000.

Then it was still a cold field, as if the Chinese businessmen had agreed!

The auctioneer is finally not calm, deliberately talking nonsense and dragging it for a long time!

".61 million twice, does anyone increase the fare?"

The words of "620,000" Chinese-owned real estate developers finally gave the auctioneer a sigh of relief.

You should know that in order not to lose the auction, the Hong Kong government directly reduced the price from 900,000 Hong Kong dollars last time to 600,000 Hong Kong dollars. It can be said that it has made a huge concession.

Chinese-owned real estate developers started their business, but finally returned to normal, and there were more bids.

Strangely, the British capital did not continue to join, but sat on the sidelines.

"680,000!" Wu Guangyao said, and the atmosphere of the entire auction house was once again cold.

"Will that kid make a bid! Someone’s price increase of 5,000 or 10,000, but he did it well, and directly increased the price by 20,000, which is nothing short of stunned!"

"It's a real estate layman, a pot of porridge is broken by a mouse shit!"

"Reckless! The price increase is so much, isn't it giving the money to others?"

Wu Guangyao ignored everyone's whispers, looked at the stage with confidence on his face, in a posture that he was sure to win!

"685,000!" British real estate developers began to raise prices.

Wu Guangyao sat down slowly, shook his head, with a regretful expression!

British-owned real estate developers chuckled in their hearts, what does this mean, have you given up?

MD, I was invited by the Hong Kong government to support the scene. I have no plans to continue investing in Hong Kong Island!

Fortunately, a Chinese-owned real estate developer rescued him and increased the price by 10,000 Hong Kong dollars!

"695,000 once!"

"695,000 twice!"

"690,000."

At the last moment when the auctioneer dropped the hammer, Wu Guangyao raised his placard again!

"710,000! Cheung Kong Holdings invested 710,000. Wow, Mr. Wu only bid the price twice today, but every time the price is increased by 20,000, it seems that he is bound to win this land!"

The auctioneer thought his words could provoke the people below to bid, but unfortunately he was wrong and no one dared to bid anymore!

Because many people have noticed that Wu Guangyao's face is relaxed, just like just now.

Everyone was afraid that if Wu Guangyao would not follow up if he called again, wouldn’t he be taken advantage of.

Many land sold by foreign investors is not so expensive, but the area is relatively small.

To be honest, Wu Guangyao really planned to increase the price and gave up!

There is still half a year in this form, and there are so many opportunities for myself that I don’t need to smash this land.

In the end, this piece of land was acquired by Yangtze River Industrial, and the auctioneer said his words of congratulations with a look of unwillingness.

"Congratulations, Boss Wu won the first battle!" Li Mingze stepped forward and congratulated.

Wu Guangyao and Li Jia will never become good friends, but Li Mingze is obviously deep in the city and more enthusiastic than He Shijian.

Wu Guangyao saw through and said enthusiastically: "Concession, concession, I am just a ticket. I plan to build some villas for my relatives and friends to live in!"

Li Mingze was taken aback, spent millions to build a villa, and then lived in for relatives and friends. You can blow it better than anyone else!

He Shijian next to    was also taken aback, and he secretly said that he is really a hairy boy, but he doesn’t know why HSBC supports such people!

Changjiang Industrial finally took the first step. Wu Guangyao was confident and determined to start to merge Yangtze River Industrial, Hong Kong Island First Construction, and Yaocheng Decoration into the Yangtze River system.

The future of the Yangtze River system is real estate, hotels, infrastructure and other industries!

Called all the managers of these three companies and held a meeting.

"From now on, Cheung Kong Holdings will usher in large-scale development. Therefore, I decided to incorporate Hong Kong Island First Construction and Yaocheng Decoration into the Yangtze River system, and finally form an industrial chain." Wu Guangyao intends to open another Yangtze River Co., Ltd., Companies related to the real estate industry as a holding company are just like group companies in later generations.

As soon as everyone heard it, there was a lot of enthusiasm, and the real estate industry was finally turned into the development of the property under the boss!
