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

Although Cheung Kong Industrial has been established for 2 months, it has not started hoarding land for a long time.

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

This is naturally Wu Guangyao's idea, to find the most appropriate time to stockpile land in large quantities.

Things really went as Wu Guangyao expected, and the Hong Kong government's land auctions often failed;

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

The Hong Kong Island crisis hangs over every Hong Kong Islander, and everyone is panicking.

Every day, people spread rumors that there was an incoming call, which made everyone very nervous!

Those who spread rumors must be trying to gain some benefit, so they did such an outrageous thing!

When the staff of Cheung Kong saw Wu Guangyao coming to the company, they greeted him one after another. This boss is the top richest man on Hong Kong Island and an idol in the hearts of young people!

Cheung Kong's "Three Musketeers" came to the office together, ready to report on their work.

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

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

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

It simply doesn't match the high housing price, and it's not wrong to say that it's deformed.

"Has this picture ever passed?" Wu Guangyao asked.

If there is no land that has passed the auction, I have to think about it.

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

Are you afraid that there is no chance, that you can't buy land that is cheap and in a good location?

"I just passed the auction at the beginning of last month,

It is very difficult to sell the recent official land at one time, and it is basically passed two or three times. Boss, do we have to wait? "

"No need, from now on, we will buy all the 3 million funds in our hands into land and use it as the company's land reserve in the future."

This official land is located at the southern end of the racetrack. Wu Guangyao thought about it, if he built a villa complex, he would definitely get several times the profit.

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

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

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

The later generation Zheng Yutong bought a 40,000-square-foot Happy Valley land in 1952, planning to build a villa.

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

People always think about it after the fact, but at this time, real estate is not considered the most lucrative business;

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

The rich people in this period were very scattered, and there were well-known rich people in finance, shipping, trade, retail, real estate, and public utilities.

Zheng Yutong was the first to enter the real estate industry among the four major families, but after developing the Happy Valley Villa, he never entered the real estate industry again.

It was not until the late 1960s that real estate development began!

Otherwise, with his conditions, Li Chaoren would never be the head of the four major families!

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

The fact is that Li Chaoren started to make plastics this year, and then he did it for seven years, and almost went bankrupt in the middle. It was not until 1957 that he took the lead in developing plastic flowers on Hong Kong Island that the business really got on the right track and earned the real first pot of gold.

Huo Yingdong is currently digging seaweed on the island. He has no food and fresh water and is harassed by sea snakes. When I returned to Hong Kong Island in May, I realized that the seaweed I dug was not enough for the cost, and even my savings were lost. He had to be in the war to earn his first pot of gold.

Charter King opened a small trading company at this time. I heard that the office area does not exceed 15 square meters, and there are four people crowded in it. Even when going out, colleagues have to give way before they can go out.

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

Only Zheng Yutong should be quite rich. The gold business has been doing well in recent years 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 the current situation of these famous rich men in later generations, and he feels very proud, and he doesn't know why!

It's definitely not gloating, it's more of a sense of pride that I'm stronger than you!

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

As for the funds needed for the subsequent construction, Wu Guangyao intends to borrow money and sell off-plan houses. There are two strategies.

After all, I really can't squeeze out the money to develop real estate!

Wu Guangyao then said to Li Xing: "Get ready and go to the United States at the end of the month. The main purpose is to find an architectural design firm, both for cooperation and for learning. 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 together for some in-depth study!"

Wu Guangyao nodded. Cheung Kong still has its own designers, 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 quickly!"

Wu Guangyao, who was sleeping, suddenly heard Lin Yueru's voice, jolted awake, and suddenly woke up.

He had already demonstrated the procedure many times, so he would not waste time, so Ping came downstairs with Lin Yueru in his arms.

Li Cui has already woken up the security guard who was sleeping in all clothes, and prepared the vehicle.

When they arrived at the hospital, there were already people waiting.

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

At eight o'clock in the morning, several of Wu Guangyao's closest relatives had already gathered in the high-end ward.

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

She gave birth naturally, and she didn't have much strength, but her mother's love was overwhelming, and she couldn't put it down holding her eldest son.

"Son, naturally like a mother!"

Wu Guangyao was also relieved that Lin Yueru could give birth to his eldest son.

It is said that only a family with a succession to the throne would have this idea, and Wu Guangyao naturally thought so.

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

Wu Guangyao didn't say anything, who knows what will happen in the future!

Maybe the eldest son goes to study in the United States, and then becomes a business partner, investing in Apple and Microsoft!

Or if you are not interested in doing business, but prefer to be a scientist and a politician, what should you do!

"Yueru, why don't you take a break and let us take care of the baby!" Zhou Xuefen said cautiously.

For a great hero like Lin Yueru, Zhou Xuefen naturally flattered her, but actually wanted to hug her grandson even more.

When Lin Yueru heard the words, she naturally knew what her mother-in-law meant, so she nodded!

Then the child was passed between Zhou Xuefen and Chu Fengyi, and Wu Guangyao couldn't help interjecting: "The child is still young, put it in the stroller!"

After hearing this, the two reluctantly put Wu Xianshuo into the stroller, and Lin Youde took back what he was about to say.

Wu Guangyao's eldest son, Wu Xianshuo was born on January 3, 1950.

Wu Guangyao named his eldest son Wu Xianshuo according to the seniority of "Guang Xian Ying Ming Cheng".

After the birth of the eldest son, Wu Guangyao took a good rest for seven days and stayed with Lin Yueru.

The executives of the subsidiary company also know the interest and did not come to bother.

 …

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

Bringing Shi Jun into the auction house, Wu Guangyao was taken aback. There were actually many real estate developers coming to bid.

Moreover, there are mostly Chinese businessmen, and two of the four major families came, the He family and the Li family.

Wu Guangyao looked at Shi Jun with a dazed expression on his face!

Shi Jun quickly explained: "I mostly watch the excitement, and many real estate developers won't participate in the auction, they mostly just watch the situation!"

Wu Guangyao suddenly realized, a group of spectators!

"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, and see if Boss Wu is interested in this land today?" Li Mingze said first, and asked Wu Guangyao back.

"Like you, look at the market! But I'm a novice in real estate, so I might make a lot of noise later!" Wu Guangyao laughed.

The auction of this piece of land was 900,000 Hong Kong dollars last time, but this time the auction started at 600,000 Hong Kong dollars. Obviously, someone will ask for the price.

It depends on who wins the game!

After a brief chat, everyone returned to their seats.

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

The auction started, and the Englishman auctioneer began to call the price, pretending to be passionate, but actually panicked inside!

The first asking price was 600,000 Hong Kong dollars, and everyone was waiting to see. You must know that if this land was in the first half of 1949, it would have been worth at least 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

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

"610,000!" A British-funded real estate developer took the lead in raising the price by 10,000.

Then it was still cold, as if the Chinese merchants had made an agreement!

The auctioneer finally became restless, deliberately talking nonsense and procrastinating for a long time!

"...610,000 twice, anyone raise the price?"

The words of "620,000" Chinese-funded real estate developers finally let the auctioneer breathe a sigh of relief.

You know, in order not to fail the auction this time, the Hong Kong government directly lowered the price from 900,000 Hong Kong dollars last time to 600,000 Hong Kong dollars, which can be said to have made a huge concession.

The Chinese-owned real estate developers started, and finally returned to normal later, with more asking prices.

The strange thing is that British capital did not continue to join, but sat on the sidelines.

"680,000!" Wu Guangyao said, chilling the atmosphere of the entire auction house again.

"Will that kid know how to ask for the price? He is fine with the price increase of 50,000 or 10,000. He just increases the price by 20,000. He is simply stunned!"

"It's just a layman in real estate, a rat droppings ruined a pot of porridge!"

"Reckless! If you increase the price so much, don't you give the money to others?"

Wu Guangyao ignored everyone's whispers, and looked at the stage confidently, as if he was going to win!

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

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

The British-funded real estate developer felt a little bit in his heart. What does this mean? Have you given up?

MD, I was invited by the Hong Kong government to support the scene, and I have no intention of continuing to invest in Hong Kong Island!

Fortunately, a Chinese real estate developer saved him and raised the price by HK$10,000!

"695,000 once!"

"695,000 times!"

"690,000..."

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

"710,000 yuan! Cheung Kong invested 710,000 yuan. Wow, Mr. Wu only called the price twice today, but each time the price was increased by 20,000 yuan. It seems that he is bound to win this land!"

The auctioneer thought that his words would inspire the people below to bid, but unfortunately he was wrong, no one dared to bid anymore!

Because many people noticed that Wu Guangyao looked relaxed, just like before.

Everyone was afraid that if they called again, Wu Guangyao would not follow, and he would not be taken advantage of.

Many lands sold by foreign capital are not so expensive, but the area is small.

To be honest, Wu Guangyao really planned to have someone raise the price, so he gave up!

There is still half a year left to return to the form, and I have too many opportunities, so I don't need to slam this land.

In the end, the land was acquired by Cheung Kong, and the auctioneer expressed his 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 obviously has a very deep city and is more enthusiastic than He Shijian.

Wu Guangyao saw through it, and said enthusiastically, "Acceptance, acquiescence, I'm just for fun. I plan to build some villas for my relatives and friends to live in!"

Li Mingze was taken aback, spending several million to build a villa, and then living in it for relatives and friends, you can brag about it better than anyone else!

He Shijian next to him was also taken aback for a moment, and thought to himself, he really is a brat, but he doesn't know why HSBC supports such a person!

Cheung Kong finally took the first step. Wu Guangyao was full of confidence and determined to start merging Cheung Kong, Hong Kong Island First Construction, and Yaocheng Decoration into Changjiang.

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

All the big and small managers of the three companies were called together and a meeting was held.

"From now on, Cheung Kong Industries will usher in large-scale development. Therefore, I decided to merge Hong Kong Island First Construction and Yaocheng Decoration into Cheung Kong Industries and become a subsidiary of Cheung Kong Industries. At the same time, based on Cheung Kong Industries, we will vigorously Develop the real estate industry, enter real estate-related industries, and form the Yangtze River system!"

When everyone heard this, their blood boiled with excitement. It was finally the turn of the real estate industry to develop under the boss's business!
