Chapter 51 [Good start]

On February 12, the third day of the Chinese New Year, it is advisable to make ground.

The construction ceremony was held on the land of the ‘Old Gas Factory’ on Ferry Street in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon.

This land covers an area of ​​33,000 square feet, and a total of 20 five-story tenement buildings were built (the original plan was 22 floors, each floor was smaller), with a floor area of ​​1,000 to 1,080 square feet. The entire project is named "Defu Garden", and it is another private house village, although it only has 100 floors.

Lin Zhichao knew that the only customers who bought buildings during this period were the wealthy Shang Dynasty; after all, more than 30,000 Hong Kong dollars per floor were not affordable to ordinary people.

Therefore, Changjiang Real Estate must fully consider the needs of its customer base - safety and privacy. In addition, public gardens, pavilions, leisure facilities, etc., it can be said to be very accurate in customer psychology.

"Lin Sheng, congratulations, it's another private house village project!"

Friends who came to support Lin Zhichao all congratulated Lin Zhichao. Many of them were fellow villagers of the Hong Kong Shunde Chamber of Commerce and Shunde Association. Because Lin Zhichao was absorbed as a member very early and had donated charity funds, he met many businessmen from Shunde.

These businessmen may not be very famous in their later generations, but they were also well-known figures in Hong Kong at this time. Fore Hexiangmian was the boss of Zhenchang Dyeing Factory. Lin Zhichao also knew some Shunde bosses, such as Jian Dongpu, He Tian, ​​etc., and did not initiate an invitation. After all, they had invited them once or twice.

"Thank you for your visit and congratulations, and I am deeply honored."

Immediately, Lin Zhichao started chatting with everyone.

He Xiangmian sighed: "Now Lin Sheng is our 'Biaoqing' businessman in Shunde. I see if you do business, you will make rapid progress. I heard that you have opened a zipper factory and the business is so good. The zippers in Southeast Asia, RB, and Hong Kong are all purchased for you."

Everyone asked about the details of Changjiang Industry.

Lin Zhichao quickly said, "Brother He has been awarded. My zipper factory only accounts for a small part of the RB market. It is true to make money, but now Changjiang Industrial owes the Bank of East Asia 900,000 Hong Kong dollars. I wake up every day by the debt."

"Haha, you Lin Zhichao are still good at getting cheap. Why is Mr. Jian willing to lend you money? Isn't it that you see the potential of your zipper factory? Paying off your debts is not a slight sign for you." He Xiangmian looked like I knew you made a lot of money.

Everyone nodded, and Lin Zhichao invisibly became the "Biaoqing" (an outstanding figure) of Shunde businessmen, and his influence began to expand.

The problem now is that Shunde businessmen have three associations in Hong Kong - Chamber of Commerce, Association, and Mianyuantang. There is no strong person, so they are in a mess.

Of course, Lin Zhichao would not take this point, although he may have the strength to integrate in the future; however, he felt that being the president of a chamber of commerce would inevitably consume a lot of energy, which would affect people's well-being.

And he is determined to become a world-class businessman, so he naturally doesn’t spend too much energy on these. He can join many chambers of commerce and charitable organizations, but he won’t spend too much energy on these.

"Old Jian is a banker. I mortgaged all my wealth to him, so I can lend money." Lin Zhichao continued to say modestly.

You can let others know what industry you have, and you can also let others know that you have made money, but you can't let others know that you have made a lot of money.

"Haha, you're so fierce to borrow money, just open a bank by yourself!" Someone suggested.

Lin Zhichao said as if it were true: "This proposal is good! But it's really open, you have to support me!"

Everyone blamed the person who just proposed, but they still spoke polite words.

Lin Zhichao did not doubt everyone's "sincerity". If he opened a bank, these Shunde merchants would definitely take care of one or two and deposit some of their funds in his bank.

However, this is due to the fact that they are both Shunde people, so they will only place a small part of their funds in their banks. Everyone is more willing to believe in big banks such as HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, and American Bank.

Lin Zhichao can actually copy Liao Baoshan's success, borrow money from fellow villagers and small and medium-sized depositors to speculate in gold and develop real estate; as long as you withdraw the funds at the right time.

In this way, his development speed will be greatly accelerated.

However, Lin Zhichao did not want to do this. He also wanted to recruit HSBC as his backer, so he would not establish a bank. At least he would not enter the banking field before he could not get rid of HSBC or British capital (before 1980).

After being kind to everyone.

Tang Bingyuan also brought Wen Jinmei to support him, and Lin Zhichao's future father-in-law Tang Zhongyuan also brought his future mother-in-law Song Qiaoling.

Lin Zhichao took the initiative to greet him again!

Tang Bingyuan sighed: "We are all still renting houses. I didn't expect that Zhichao had built hundreds of buildings, which is ashamed!"

In fact, it’s not that Tang Bingyuan can’t afford a house, but that he wants to live in a luxury house in the Mid-mountain area.

But it is impossible for owners in the Mid-mountain area to sell properties, at least they will not sell them in the past few years because they can charge high rent and top-hand fees.

Lin Zhichao said modestly: "I built other people's houses, and I live in them as renting them."

"Ha ha"

After a while, the construction ceremony was officially held.

After the ceremony, everyone said goodbye one after another.

Lin Zhichao found two judging leaders - Huang Shun and Sun Jian, and said, "Uncle Huang, Uncle Jian, I have handed over the construction site to you. You have to help me with prison. This real estate is not a matter of several years, but a matter of decades. The reputation is very important. Once you smash it, it will be difficult to pick it up."

The two judges are each responsible for the construction of 10 ten-yuan buildings; of course, they are actually subcontractors now, and the engineering department of Changjiang Real Estate is the general contractor.

Huang Shun and Sun Jian immediately became serious. They understood that Lin Zhichao meant that Changjiang Real Estate would become the signboard of the Hong Kong real estate industry. If they did not do a good job in the project, they would not only not be able to receive Changjiang Real Estate projects, but may even have a bad reputation in the entire construction industry.

There is no need to question the influence of Changjiang Real Estate, and Lin Zhichao is a rising industry leader, so the two nodded seriously.

Huang Shun said: "Boss Lin, don't worry, I have been doing construction for so many years and will never do anything that is unconscience-free."

Sun Jian also said: "Boss Lin, I am also an old master in this industry. I will definitely not do anything to mess with my signature."

Lin Zhichao immediately smiled and said, "Haha, Uncle Huang, Uncle Jian, I must be relieved to you, otherwise I wouldn't have cooperated so many times."

Two old Xingzuns in their fifties were frightened by Lin Zhichao, and they also lamented in their hearts that Lin Zhichao's old-fashioned behavior.

Changjiang Real Estate has opened another 20-building site, which is quite shocking in the Hong Kong real estate industry. When almost most of the property owners were "fighting four hot meats", Changjiang Real Estate has started two major projects with more than 20-building projects in succession, and even sold one of the large land areas.

Everyone is thinking about a question: Is this model really profitable?

If you make money, why does the boss Zhang Jun of "Huixin Real Estate" raise money everywhere to start work?

Everyone finally understood that "sales of houses" also require skills. There is no doubt that Lin Zhichao is the capable person, and Zhang Jun is the incompetent person.

But now Lin Zhichao’s skills have been learned by everyone, so everyone has become capable people.

However, the land price and the price of old buildings have risen too high, and the profits have become increasingly thin. Considering the risks of the market, almost all property buyers still adopt the "four hot meat flavors".

Everyone would rather build a small territory than "layered sales" and "sales of houses". After the sale is out, they will start buying land and old buildings and continue to do projects.

In this way, it is still much more flexible than before. Xiangjiang has also begun to add many new buildings, and real estate is also "prosperous".

However, real estate is still not a popular way to make money.

Zhang Jun from Huixin Real Estate also heard that Changjiang Real Estate opened another 100-story property, and his face suddenly showed bitterness.

To be honest, this time he opened a 15-building property, which was insufficient funds. Not only did he invite people to cooperate, but he also planned to quickly recover funds by using the "sales business".

Now it's a good idea. The 75-story building has finally sold 15 floors, and there are 60 floors behind it waiting for sale.

Zhang Jun could only raise funds while trying to sell pre-sale houses. At present, he has overcome the financial tight situation.

"I'll still sell it quickly in the first half of the year. If it's sold in the second half of the year, it will inevitably collide with Defu Garden. With Lin Zhichao's methods, I can't play with him at all." Zhang Jun murmured to himself.

He was scared by Lin Zhichao. He was almost killed between Christmas and New Year's Day last year, so he now has "phobia".

Little do they know that Hong Kong has a lot of purchasing power in the second half of the year and the price may be higher.

Of course, these matters are no longer related to Zhang Jun. Now he only wants to sell the remaining 60 floors in the first half of the year. Although he earns less than 700,000 yuan, he can earn more than 600,000 yuan. The reason for making less is that he borrowed a little high-interest loan.
