Chapter 431 Extra: Hong Kong City Trip
The next day, Su Zhongqing told Su Tingqian about his plan.
Since his uncle was going to invest in China, Su Tingqian would help. The next day, the group went to Guangzhou.
Su Zhongqing wanted to investigate the business of a five-star hotel, so when they arrived in Guangzhou, they stayed in that hotel.
Fu Manhua and Zhuo Huiqin had work to do, so they stayed in Guangzhou for one night. After saying goodbye to Su Zhongqing and the others, they took their children back to Guangxi Province.
In the next few days, Su Tingqian took Su Zhongqing and his group to visit his own factories and companies, and set up an investor bureau to introduce them to his personal connections. He also took them to three special economic zones in Guangdong Province for two days to investigate the local investment environment.
Su Mo even invited colleagues from the Investment Promotion Office to talk to them about the government's general plan for the next two years and provide them with references.
Geng Changqing was also asked to take time out to meet with Su Zhongqing and his team.
The arrangements were very appropriate, and they did their best to provide them with references and help as much as they could.
What Su Zhongqing and his team saw and gained in a few days was something that other investors would not be able to achieve in half a year or a year.
Su Zhongqing was also full of emotion, and he reminded Su Jing that after returning to China to invest, he must help Su Tingqian and others and must not do anything that would harm the interests of his relatives.
After these few days of understanding, Su Zhongqing became more optimistic about the domestic market. He planned to let Su Jing return to China to settle down in such a promising place, and let him develop the market here.
As for the eldest son's family, they have been assimilated over the years. If they return to China, they might cause trouble, so let them stay in the United States.
When the time is right, the business in the United States will be given to the eldest son's family, and the domestic business will be given to the second son's family. As for the third son, he has not made any contribution to the business, so when the time comes, he will be given more assets and cash, and he will be given some shares in both companies.
Su Zhongqing knew everything he needed to know, so he was not going to delay in China. He hurried back to arrange the things that needed to be arranged and transfer the funds so that he could return to China to invest.
The next day, Su Zhongqing and his party completed the formalities and traveled from Shenzhen to Hong Kong, and then from Hong Kong to the United States.
They were also accompanied by Su Yiyuan and Su Mo, brother and sister. The brother and sister were ostensibly going to see Su Zhongqing and his party off, but in fact, they were bringing things to Hong Kong to auction.
The Su family had won the right to mine the coal mine, but the initial investment required for mining was not small. Most of the money earned by several companies was invested in production expansion, and the money that could be transferred out was limited, so they still had to sell some things.
In the past few years, Su Mo and Lu Changzheng have borrowed various names and "found" a lot of valuable things.
Although Su Tingde and Su Tingqian were a little surprised as to why Lu Changzheng could always find these things, they thought that the special forces might have some special ways, so they did not investigate further and only asked Lu Changzheng to be careful not to affect his work.
Money can be earned again if it is lost, but if the future is affected, it is a big deal.
After sending Su Zhongqing and the others to the airport, the brother and sister went to meet the organizer of the auction and handed over the things to be auctioned.
This time, they had more funds and brought more things, more than a dozen items, including famous paintings and calligraphy, antique ornaments, jade beads bracelets and gold jewelry with great collection value.
These things are of great value, and they also used some connections to bring them here.
When the organizer saw the things they brought, his eyes lit up and he said he would definitely help them get a good price. In recent years, the people in mainland China have become more conscious and there are very few such good things coming out.
The organizer of this auction was introduced by Mr. Huo, who has a very good reputation in Hong Kong. It was not the first time that the brother and sister brought things to auction, and they trusted each other. After giving the things to each other, they left.
While waiting for the auction, the brother and sister went about their own activities.
This was not the first time for both of them to come to Hong Kong. In the past four years, Su Yiyuan had come several times for business and Su Mo had come several times for work. They also have friends here. When they come here, they naturally have to visit and keep in touch.
While visiting her friends, Su Mo went to several pawnshops and secretly sold a lot of small yellow croakers.
She had many boxes of small yellow croakers in her space, which were not convenient to cash out in China. Every time she came to Hong Kong, she would secretly sell some.
Since 1980, the international gold price has been rising wildly, soaring to more than 600 US dollars per ounce in 1980, and in the following years, it has also stabilized at around 450 US dollars per ounce. A small yellow croaker can basically be sold for 1,500 to 2,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Afterwards, Su Mo went to an old pharmacy and sold a few wild ginseng.
Wild ginseng is currently not sold at a high price in China. Every time Su Mo comes to Hong Kong, she will find an opportunity to sell some.
In Hong Kong, the price of real wild ginseng starts at 10,000 yuan. Needless to say, the wild ginseng that Su Mo has grown is of high quality, and basically each root can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan.
Over the years, Su Mo has saved more than two million yuan from selling wild ginseng and small yellow croaker. She has kept this money in her pocket and never used it. Su Mo
learned from her friends that the Hong Kong real estate market is about to collapse. In the past two months, many buildings have been sold at low prices.
Su Mo plans to spend the money on hand, buy some properties while the housing prices are at a low point, and then sell them when the housing prices soar in the future.
The turmoil in the Hong Kong real estate market is affected by the global economic crisis and the negotiations on Hong Kong issues, and Hong Kong people are experiencing a crisis of confidence. Since 1982, housing prices have been falling wildly, and in 1983, they were on the verge of collapse.
Su Mo acted immediately and found a real estate agent to tell him about her housing needs.
At that time, there were many people selling properties, and real estate agents had a lot of houses, so they quickly selected a bunch of properties that matched Su Mo's needs.
The current housing price in Hong Kong, converted into square meters, was about 4,000 to 7,000 Hong Kong dollars per square meter. At that time, the salary of an ordinary worker in Hong Kong was about 2,500 yuan, and two months' salary could buy one square meter of housing. For Hong Kong, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, this was indeed the bottom of housing prices.
Su Mo followed the agent around for a day and finally bought an office and two residential houses.
The office is about 200 square meters, and the price is about HK$6,000 per square meter. Although the current location is average, Su Mo knows that this place will develop in a few years, so she decided to buy it after seeing it.
2 residential houses, about HK$5,000 per square meter, both are about 60 square meters in size. Although it is an old building, there is a lot of traffic in this area, so it is easy to rent it out.
After seeing it, Su Mo signed a contract with the agent. As for how mainlanders can buy houses in Hong Kong, these procedures can be handled by the omnipotent agent.
Both parties agreed to come to the owner the next day to sign the contract, handle the procedures and pay the money.
The next day, when Su Mo came over with a sack of cash, the agents and the owners all looked slightly pale, thinking that she was sent by some gang to launder money, and they were even more cautious in their attitude towards her, fearing that she would accidentally get involved with the gang.
With this misunderstanding, all the procedures were handled very quickly, and within a day, Su Mo got three thick stacks of property deeds. One has to sigh at the speed of Hong Kong City. No wonder many Hong Kong businessmen were frustrated by the efficiency of handling matters when they first came to the mainland to invest.
Buying a house in Hong Kong City is not like buying a house in the mainland. There is no real estate certificate. It is mainly based on documents issued by law firms, all printed on A4 paper, a thick stack.
After buying the house, Su Mo was very happy and went to a high-end restaurant to show off a good meal alone.
When she was almost done eating, she saw Su Yiyuan shopping in a jewelry store not far away through the French window. Su Mo finished her meal and went over.
When Su Mo went over, Su Yiyuan had already left.
Since they were already in the store, Su Mo picked out a few pearl necklaces and prepared to take them back to give to some elders.
While waiting for the salesperson to package the products, Su Mo was curious and asked her what Su Yiyuan had just bought.
"The gentleman just bought a limited edition necklace launched this season. There are only three in Hong Kong. The goods just arrived yesterday, and now there is only one left. Miss, would you like to take a look?" The salesperson smiled and hurried to take the necklace out from the counter.
This jewelry store is a mid-range brand, and the jewelry inside is not cheap. Su Mo bought three pearl necklaces at once. Judging from her appearance, the salesperson thought she was the daughter of a wealthy family and naturally highly recommended it.
Su Mo looked at the necklace. The pink pearl pendant inlaid with diamonds, paired with a silver clavicle chain, looked low-key, luxurious and tasteful, and very suitable for young women to wear.
Su Mo saw that no one in her family was suitable to wear this necklace, so she thought Su Yiyuan bought it as a gift for a customer.
After Su Mo looked at it, she asked the salesperson to take the necklace back. She never liked wearing jewelry, so she didn't buy it.
Su Mo quickly forgot about this episode. Two days later, the brother and sister returned to their country with the millions of funds from the auction, and soon they each threw themselves into their busy work.
One day a month later, Su Mo asked Qiao Huaqing to have dinner for something. When she saw the necklace on her neck, her eyes almost popped out of her window.
She really didn't expect that her second brother would do something so big under everyone's noses without saying a word.
