The auction of the next few pieces of land went very smoothly, and they were all acquired by the Hong Kong Housing Company. They were all frightened by Qi Xiaming's methods, as if he could see their inner thoughts clearly.
What they originally discussed was to raise the price to HK$500,000 per square meter. If Qi Xiaming followed suit, they would give up and consume Qi Xiaming's funds. In the end, they would be trapped in it.
They don't have the strength to follow up on the next few plots of land. After all, they are located in the city center, so it won't be cheap. In addition, coupled with the news just released by HSBC, they can only choose a conservative plan.
After all, whether you make money or not is secondary, saving your life is the most important.
Of course, they would not let Qi Xiaming acquire land at a low price. The last few pieces of land were also auctioned for 200,000 Hong Kong dollars per square meter, which is basically the same as the current market price.
But he didn't take advantage, and he didn't lose much. It was the other party's retaliation for Qi Xiaming's behavior just now.
After this auction, the mainland government still did not make any statement. The British Hong Kong government immediately contacted the British government to ask what should be done next.
The British government never thought that auctioning such a small amount of land would be able to scare the mainland government, so it prepared for the next larger land auction.
This time the land area reached 100 hectares, which is 1 square kilometer, which is already very large in Hong Kong. There has never been such a large amount of land auctioned at once before. It is basically all the existing land in the hands of the British Hong Kong government. .
After these lands are auctioned, if you want to have land for auction later, you need to expropriate the land. This is a troublesome matter. After all, Hong Kong land has private ownership in name, and it is very troublesome to operate.
Zhao Yi, who lives in Lin Hexia's apartment, is fully aware of the next actions of the British government and the British Hong Kong government. After all, this incident has a causal relationship with him.
Based on the causal relationship, Zhouling can obtain all specific information of the causal parties and understand their latest developments in real time.
In Zhao Yi's opinion, their so-called secrets were no different from the black and white words on the table.
Seeing that the last auction did not attract any "attention" from the mainland, the British Hong Kong government changed its original routine before this auction.
First of all, some pro-British media desperately advocated that the last auction was just an appetizer, and the subsequent actions were the big ones. If the mainland did not pay attention to it, it would be too late to regret it.
Some media criticized the mainland government for not caring about Hong Kong's future based on the mainland's indifferent attitude towards the British Hong Kong government's incident.
It has allowed the British Hong Kong government to exhaust Hong Kong's development potential and aggravate the severity of the current economic crisis. For such a government, if they return to China, will they be trustworthy
The left-wing media are not vegetarians either. They have also published rebuttal articles one after another, saying that these actions were done by the British Hong Kong government and have nothing to do with the mainland government. The power of governance is not in their hands now, and they cannot quench their thirst from far away.
At the same time, he said that the current British Hong Kong government has gone "crazy". Can such a government continue to represent the interests of all Hong Kong citizens? Through this incident, we should see clearly the true face of the British Hong Kong government. Only the return can truly serve the interests of all Hong Kong citizens.
Of course, ATV will not be idle. It has also reported on this matter, and has also launched special programs and invited relevant experts to analyze the impact of this incident on Hong Kong's economic and people's livelihood development.
Analysts believe that this one-time large-scale sale of land in the hands of the government will basically have no cards to play in the future. If real estate developers hoard land without developing it, the living environment of citizens will become even worse in the future, which will be very detrimental to people's livelihood in the future.
At this time, we decided to sell land on a large scale. Land prices were at a low level. Although government revenue increased significantly in the short term, in the long run, it was a loss-making transaction.
In the later period, the government's financial resources from land were very limited. If it wanted to maintain urban welfare, it might increase tax revenue, which would affect commercial development.
Of course, during the analysis, we will also describe the reason why the British Hong Kong government did this this time, which was to force the mainland government to make concessions in the negotiations.
This can also explain why the mainland government has not made any statement on this. It is vaguely pointing the finger at the British Hong Kong government. It is the British Hong Kong government that sacrifices the interests of all Hong Kong citizens for the interests of the United Kingdom. It is simply crazy.
ATV is still analyzing rationally. The left and right factions in Hong Kong are already on the same page, cheering for the interests behind each.
Zhao Yi really felt the crazy state of the news media under "liberal democracy", and deeply understood the ability of these media to tell lies. Moreover, the smaller the media, they were also crazy, as if they wanted to use all their energy at once. Drain cleanly.
In fact, in the public opinion war in Hong Kong, neither side can gain much advantage. Both sides have been operating in Hong Kong for a long time and have their own propaganda mouthpieces. In Zhao Yi's view, this is of little significance.
If one party completely controls public opinion, it still makes sense. The mainland was relatively weak before, but now that ATV has joined, it basically maintains the balance of public opinion between the two sides.
The British Hong Kong government saw that the war of public opinion was ineffective, and the fire was burning towards itself. After all, the cause of this incident was the British Hong Kong government. No matter how hard it cleans up the ground, it cannot get rid of this fact.
For all walks of life in Hong Kong who now hope for stability, the British Hong Kong government is purely for their own selfish interests.
To be honest, if the British Hong Kong government stops its action now, the situation can still be restored, but it will just lose some face, and the actual losses caused will not be large.
However, the British Hong Kong government or the London side now has a bit of a gambler's mentality and wants to regain some face at any cost, and this happened to fall into Zhao Yi's trap.
If he stops now, Zhao Yi's plan will no longer be implemented, and other means will have to be used.
The British Hong Kong government's second auction was suddenly announced. It was not as heavily publicized as the first, but the impact was indeed much greater than the first.
Because the land auctioned this time is 10 times larger than the first time, the land in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island only occupies a small part, and most of the land is located in Yuen Long.
In Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, the British Hong Kong government does not have much land in its hands. Almost all the land that should be sold has been sold before, and the land in Yuen Long has been sold. In fact, there are not many in the hands of the British Hong Kong government, but there are still some.
This time, more than 90 hectares of land were taken out. The remaining less than 10 hectares of land are still located in Tseung Kwan O, Deep Water Bay and Repulse Bay, and some are on outlying islands.
In this second auction, the Hong Kong housing company still plays the leading role. There is no other way. Other real estate companies have been choked by banks. They are now dancing with their hands and feet tied, unable to perform.
If they are asked to use their own funds to purchase land in large quantities, they are unwilling to do so. The funds they invest are real money. If something goes wrong, they will not even have their own pension money.
Since most of the land is in Yuen Long, which is still a suburb, the land price is not expensive. However, for the land on Hong Kong Island, because competitors are not strong enough, the land auction price is not as high as last time.
Therefore, of the 100 hectares of land auctioned this time, the Hong Kong Housing Company auctioned 98 hectares, with an average price of HK$60,000 per square meter and a total investment of HK$58.8 billion.
The price is already very low. Although Yuen Long is a suburb, it is not far from Kowloon and is the main development area in Hong Kong in the next stage.
It's just that this time, because the land area of the one-time auction was large and there were not enough competitors, the Hong Kong housing company took advantage.
It was also because of this auction that the Hong Kong Housing Company became completely famous in Hong Kong. For ordinary citizens, they had never heard of this real estate company before.
Because this company has not developed any real estate before, but has only acquired some properties. This does not make any sense to ordinary citizens. It is far away from their lives, and it is normal not to pay attention to it.
Things are different now. Against the backdrop of banks shrinking real estate loans, this previously unknown real estate company invested nearly HK$60 billion in one fell swoop.
Including the funds from the first land auction, 70 billion Hong Kong dollars have been invested, and this fund has not been borrowed from banks.
Both Hong Kong citizens and Hong Kong business circles are looking at the strength of Hong Kong housing companies. Some people who were displeased with Hong Kong housing companies have given up the idea.
You know, in the world of capital, capital is of course the largest. If you offend this capital tycoon, the end will definitely not be much better.
Those who had offended the Hong Kong Housing Company before secretly regretted it, especially those who had offended the Hong Kong Housing Company at the first auction. Now they are filled with regret.
At the same time, I also blame the Hong Kong Housing Company in my heart for pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, but it has such a strong strength that the entire Hong Kong business community does not know.
Everyone can guess what happened next. They all handed in greeting cards and came to apologize, which made Qi Xiaming re-understand his status.
The big bosses that I could not reach before were actually willing to come over and apologize, and expressed their willingness to strengthen cooperation in the future.
Of course, some people handed over congratulatory stickers. This time, the Hong Kong Housing Company acquired 98 hectares of land in one fell swoop. Including the 8 hectares of land in the first auction, the total area has reached 106 hectares. This is of course something worth celebrating. .
At the same time, the people who came to visit were not only from the real estate industry, but also big and respectable businessmen. Although there may not be business cooperation now, if it is not guaranteed, there will be room for cooperation in the future. With such a large capital, there may be opportunities in the future. Develop other businesses.
It’s not like the top bosses among them didn’t find out that the Hong Kong Housing Company belongs to an umbrella holding company, and then they checked further and found that Hong Kong Communications Company, Hong Kong Time Cinema Company and ATV all belong to this company. As for the security company, It was automatically ignored by them. After all, this company is neither famous nor has many assets.
In the past, these companies worked alone, and the relationship between them was not deep. These people did not find much information and thought they belonged to different capital forces. This time they checked again and found that they all belonged to the same company. So this company is appropriate. He has truly become a hidden predator in Hong Kong.
However, their posts to visit Lin Hexia were rejected by Lin Hexia. Now she is playing games with Zhao Yi.
This latest "Resident Evil" game produced by Polaris Company is simply too fun, especially the name of a company in it is also called Umbrella Company, which makes Lin and Xia have a different complex. (End of chapter)
