Chapter 464 Establishment
What really tempted Wang Yuanchao was holding a large number of properties, taking advantage of the rising prices of properties and land, and enjoying the dividends of Hong Kong's development. This made Wang Yuanchao more interested,
just like Mr. Guo in front of him, the future Sun Hung Kai, relying on the two office buildings across Victoria Harbour from the International Financial Center and the International Commerce Center, the annual rent collected was as high as more than 16 billion Hong Kong dollars.
The kind of business Wang Yuanchao wants is to be a new-age landlord, with more money than he can spend just by collecting rent every day.
So Wang Yuanchao faced Boss Guo's questioning eyes and said firmly and with a smile:
“That’s right, I have no interest in making a lot of money from real estate. Instead, I’d rather hold a large number of properties and collect rent to accumulate wealth for my family.
After all, I have such a wonderful life thanks to my family's wealth.
So I would rather spend my time and energy on the future, development and accumulation of my family.
As for money, no matter how much we spend, we will never spend it all in our lifetime, so how to pass on the family's wealth from generation to generation is what I should consider."
Boss Guo was now sure that what Wang Yuanchao said was true, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Hong Kong is so small and there are so many pieces of the pie. As one of the most powerful Chinese business families in Hong Kong, the Guo family, although Boss Guo is forced to sell his assets due to the financial crisis, he does not want another person to come out and compete with everyone for food. After all, anyone who comes in to compete for food, no matter how small their strength is, as long as they enter this circle and have good abilities and means, they will have the opportunity to use this opportunity to become stronger and bigger.
Boss Guo then looked relieved and said to Wang Yuanchao with a smile: "Wang Sheng's family education is really good. The reason why our Huaxia family has been passed down for thousands of years is that it relies on elites like Wang Sheng who calculate for the family and pass it down from generation to generation.
Wang Sheng's considerations are so far-reaching and his actions are so decisive. I believe that in the future, Wang Sheng's family will have a place in the wealthy families of Hong Kong."
In fact, real business negotiations do not require the boss to personally come out and fight for every last pound. Instead, the boss finalizes the cooperation over a romantic occasion, over tea and wine, and then the people below discuss the details, and finally the boss makes the final decision.
Just as Wang Yuanchao and Boss Guo were chatting and laughing in the VIP room of HSBC Bank, in the conference room of HSBC Bank next door, the negotiation team of Sun Hung Kai and the negotiation team of Xiangjiang Group were debating fiercely over every bit of transfer rights.
According to Wang Yuanchao's memory of his previous life, the land that he was discussing with Boss Guo today was not transferred by Sun Hung Kai in his previous life. Instead, Sun Hung Kai later cooperated with Boss Li of Henderson Land Development to develop the Peninsula Residences residential area, which made both companies a fortune.
Although we don’t know how Mr. Guo managed to get through the financial crisis of Sun Hung Kai,
But in this life, he met Wang Yuanchao, who would not let go of this piece of land in the core area of Kowloon, Hong Kong no matter what.
Although Boss Guo has extensive connections and strong influence in Hong Kong's business circles, he was able to list his newly established real estate company in the same year it was established, and was able to acquire the two prime plots of land across the sea, the International Financial Center and the Hong Kong International Commerce Center, by relying on his relationship with the white-skinned Hong Kong government in Hong Kong, where power is complicated.
This shows that Mr. Guo has deep roots in Hong Kong. However, in business competition, within the established rules, each party uses its own means and bears the consequences of its own gains and losses. This is understandable.
When negotiating with others in the business world, people who are foolish enough to be open-hearted will have already been taken advantage of. Anyone who believes them is a fool.
Wang Yuanchao has lived for 80-90 years in his past and present lives. He spoke from the bottom of his heart, saying, "Mr. Guo, we Chinese are not like Westerners. We do not believe in gods or religions, but only in our ancestors.
In our Chinese culture, filial piety runs through our ruling foundation and culture for thousands of years. We pay attention to our ancestors, elders, and filial piety. This has deep historical roots in our country.
Ancestors represent the inheritance and continuation of the family, and are a kind of emotional sustenance and belonging.
Therefore, we emphasize orderly inheritance and continuous continuation.
The ancients often said that wealth cannot last for more than three generations. Although there are many reasons for this, such as the arrogance of descendants, social changes, the lack of ability of descendants, family infighting, external competition, etc., according to the history of our country, dynasties come and go, but the family remains forever. The most effective way to ensure the wealth and longevity of a family is still land.
Especially in a place like Hong Kong, I personally believe that only when a family holds a large amount of land and real estate, even if it is only for rent, can the family's future prosperity and wealth be guaranteed.
Only in this way can we resist the changes of the times and the lack of abilities of future generations.
Although I am still young, I still hope that when my descendants mention me as their ancestor, they will feel proud and great. That is enough.”
The more Boss Guo listened to Wang Yuanchao's theory, the brighter his eyes became.
Aside from living for ourselves, isn't it true that people live for their descendants?
This is why even a teacher who is close to being omnipotent cannot defeat human nature or the cycles of history.
Boss Guo no longer had any intention of looking down on Wang Yuanchao. He looked at Wang Yuanchao with admiration and said in an appreciative tone:
"Although Wang Sheng is young, he has a firm goal, makes far-reaching decisions, and is able to put his ideas into practice at your age. You really can't be described as a genius.
Wang Sheng is a well-deserved hero of his time. My son is a generation older than Wang Sheng, but he has neither Wang Sheng’s foresight nor his courage. He is really far behind Wang Sheng. I can imagine how proud Wang Sheng’s parents must be to have a child like him.”
Wang Yuanchao waved his hands modestly and said with a humble smile: "Mr. Guo, thank you for your praise. I really praise you.
I am just enjoying the protection and blessing of my family, and naturally I am thinking about the family and considering the family.
This is a normal human behavior and really doesn’t deserve Mr. Guo’s praise.”
Chinese people value the doctrine of the mean, filial piety, reciprocity, gentleness, courtesy, frugality and modesty.
In today's meeting, Wang Yuanchao created a perfect image of a young man that the Chinese people like.
After all, the older generation likes young people who are filial, sensible, successful, and gentle.
Today, Wang Yuanchao's character was very successful. As Wang Yuanchao and Boss Guo chatted and laughed,
This 22.5-acre piece of land in the core area of Kowloon, covering an area of 15,000 square meters, was finally sold at a price of 750 yuan per square meter, which was agreed upon by the negotiation teams of both sides. Boss Guo took the initiative to give up 50 yuan per square meter, and finally the land was sold at a price of 10.5 million yuan, officially becoming an asset of Xiangjiang Real Estate Company.
