"Hey, a man!"

Shao Yifu was not short, and when he stood up like this, someone suddenly greeted him.

Listening to the tone of this speech, I was naturally of the same generation as him.

Shao Yifu looked at the other side of the conversation and saw a slightly fat old man in his sixties or seventies walking over with a smile.

"Pinggui!"

Looking at him, Shao Yifu showed a smile on his thin face, and he stepped forward to hold his hands together, "Why are you here too?"

"I just finished talking to someone else and happened to come over to have a sip of authentic Malaysian coffee." The slightly fat old man looked at Yin Jun who was standing up next to him, and smiled, "Are you from your grandchildren?"

Shao Yifu laughed unconsciously, "If I have such a grandson, I will wake up in my dreams!... Come, Pinggui, let me introduce you to Yin Jun, the most famous screenwriter genius in Xiangjiang. The popular "Bao Qingtian", "Wulin Waizai" and "Chu Liuxiang" are all his works."

"Oh?" The fat old man was excited, "You are Yin Jun who wrote "Bao Qingtian"? Tsk tsk, the young man is amazing! There are very few young people nowadays who understand history, ancient etiquette, and opera art so much!"

"Bao Qingtian" is very popular in the Chinese circle. It is not only young people and aunts, but also many elderly people like it because its expression is close to opera in many aspects, especially Wei Xiaofan's performance, which is absolutely a good young actor and very conspicuous.

Shao Yifu then introduced to Yin Jun, "This is my old friend Zhao Pinggui. Their Zhao family is a super landlord in Tianshuiwei, and the absolute first family! And Lao Zhao is one of the elders of the Zhao family."

Yin Jun's eyes lit up, "Hello, Mr. Zhao!"

Speaking of Tin Shui Wai, there may be many people who don’t know where it is, but if we talk about the “Tin Shui Wai two-part” filmed by the famous director Xu Anhua, I believe many people have watched it.

Tin Shuiwei, a very famous area with serious backward development, has various problems, and after the recession of Xiangjiang, it became more and more prominent.

Therefore, Xu Anhua made two movies about it in a row to discuss the root causes of the various problems contained in it.

And this Tianshuiwei, which is most of the land in Tianshuiwei we see today, is basically from the Zhao family in Tianshuiwei.

In the 1970s, they owned 488 hectares of land in Tin Shui Wai of Yuen Long, which is 4.88 million square meters of land area. Such a huge land reserve is definitely the number one family in Xiangjiang.

But because Tianshuiwei is too remote and the Zhao family is limited in strength, they cannot develop it themselves. So in 1978, this year, they negotiated with Cheung Kong Group and Huidefeng Foreign Company, preparing to convert all the land into shares and establish a joint venture with them to jointly develop such a large piece of land.

After a long negotiation, in June this year, the Zhao family's family fund Liande Trust took out a total of 25 million square feet, a total of 2.26 hectares of land, accounting for almost half of all their land, and sold it to Li Chaoren's Cheung Kong Group and Huidefeng Foreign Company.

The conditions for sale are not simply direct cash transactions, but after Cheung Kong Group and Huidefeng Foreign Company buy this huge land, they inject the land into Liande Trust, occupying a portion of Liande Trust's shares, and promise to develop the 25 million square feet of land within a certain period of time.

The prices of these lands are kept confidential, but Yin Jun, who read some information about Li Chaoren's fortune, knew that the prices of these lands were only 1.5 yuan per square foot!!

Now the price of high-end commercial housing in prime areas of Xiangjiang has reached 800-1,500 yuan per square foot, and as long as you can call it a downtown, it will cost 400-800 yuan per square foot. For example, this is the case with Mobil New Village and Taikoo City.

Even in the remote Tai Po District, the land price is 300-600 yuan per square foot.

Although the average price of Yuen Long in the New Territories is as low as 100-400 yuan per square foot, while the price of Tin Shui Wai on the edge of Yuen Long is the lowest in Hong Kong, which may be less than 80 yuan, but now it is only sold at 1.5 yuan per square foot, and there is no such price in the market at all!

yes!

Tin Shui Wai is the poorest and most backward area in Xiangjiang. This Tin Shui Wai area north of Yuen Long, New Territories is only separated from the west of Nanwan. Therefore, countless people from the mainland chose to live in the first place, which is basically here. This place was originally where residents of the lower level of Xiangjiang River live together. Various groups of people together have caused the mix of fish and dragons here and it is very chaotic.

In addition, Tianshuiwei is too remote. Not to mention that the subway has not planned for ten or eight years, the transportation is also very primitive. Not to mention the few bus routes, it is also very scammed in time. After seven or eight o'clock, the bus will not come here. If you want to return to Tianshuiwei, you either drive or take a simple means of transportation within an electric tricycle.

To put it bluntly, this is a place where even the daughter of a poor family doesn’t want to marry.

This is the bottom floor of Xiangjiang River. Compared to Tiaojingling, it makes people forget that Tiaojingling is at least in Kwun Tong, and it is only about 2 hours drive and boat ride from the most prosperous Hong Kong Island area.

Therefore, the land prices here have never been able to rise.

But this is not a reason for $1.5 per square foot.

If you report this price, you will ensure that thousands of people from Xiangjiang will come to buy land and repair houses tomorrow.

The real reason is that the Zhao family wants to jointly develop Tin Shuiwei through cooperation with Cheung Kong Group and Huidefeng, and build it into large-scale houses, making it standardized and thus more modern.

Only in this way can the remaining 250 hectares of land in their hands be worth more than one billion or even billions of Hong Kong dollars. The built houses can allow hundreds of Zhao family members to eat and drink enough, and live a leisurely life from now on.

Now there is nothing here in Tin Shuiwei. If they don’t make a big concession, how could Cheung Kong Group and Hui Defeng be willing to come here to develop?

Not to mention anything else, just the handling of construction machinery, the development and construction of surrounding roads, etc., is a huge work, and without sufficient benefits, how could they develop real estate in such a remote place?

Therefore, the price of cabbage at 1.5 yuan per square foot has emerged.

Overall, although the Zhao family is at a loss, if they do it according to their estimates, ten years later, the Zhao family will become the leading real estate family in Xiangjiang, owning countless real estate, which is enough for all their descendants to enjoy a comfortable life.

Unfortunately, in this world, only Yin Jun knows that Tianshuiwei is a super pit.

Whether it is Cheung Kong Group, Huidefeng or Derun, they have never played with Tianshuiwei.

The most outstanding Cheung Kong Group has only built about 100 hectares of land, accounting for almost 20% of the land.

The rest is basically a pitfall. The government has built a large number of public housing here, and many low-income residents live here. Due to the lack of economic consumption capacity, the business here has not been able to develop.

If the business cannot develop, the supporting facilities will not follow. If the supporting facilities are not perfect, the middle- and high-income people will not relocate. Only the poor will live here. Because of poverty, many problems will arise... This is a vicious cycle.

It is this vicious cycle that makes Tin Shuiwei the poorest and most backward area in Xiangjiang even in 2020, no doubt about it.

Li Chaoren's Changjiang Industry made a lot of money from here and left, but the development of the Zhao family they agreed to at the beginning was completely empty talk and the sense of responsibility was completely unqualified.

Think about it.

The cost of land of Cheung Kong Group is only 1.5 yuan per square foot. Even after government repurchase, the cost is not higher than 100 yuan per square foot. When the first phase of Jiahu Villa in 1991 was opened, the price per square foot was 1,850 yuan! By 1996, it soared to 2,936 yuan! The last batch was launched in 1997 and the price had exceeded 4,000 yuan per square foot!

Cheung Kong Group earned at least HK$15 billion from Tin Shui Wai, but they did not bring vitality and hope to Tin Shui Wai, but instead destroyed this already fragile place.

If Cheung Kong Group carefully develops and does supporting facilities according to the plan discussed with the Zhao family before, even if Tin Shuiwei 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 back from his thoughts, Zhao Pinggui had already had almost talked with Shao Yifu.

Zhao Pinggui's polite Yin Jun said a few words before saying goodbye to Shao Yifu and returning to his own position.

Yin Jun could see that he was the only one in his position, because there was only one cup and plate.

After saying goodbye to Shao Yifu at the entrance of the cafe, Yin Jun stood at the door and thought for a while, then walked into the cafe 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 stunned for a moment and then laughed: "Okay!"

After sitting down, Yin Jun asked the waiter to serve him another cup of milk tea, and then asked slowly: "Mr. Zhao, I read the news two months ago. I heard that you sold a lot of land to Cheung Kong Group and Hui Defeng?"

"Well, yes." Zhao Pinggui smiled. Most of the transactions between Liande Trust and Cheung Kong Group and Huidefeng were declared to the public, but they were still a little vague in terms of specific land area and price.

"So, I wonder if you are interested in selling some more land?" Yin Jun asked with a smile, his eyes surprisingly clear. (To be continued.)
