Chapter 723
The news that Meng Haisheng was going to invest in Old Street quickly swept across Hong Kong Island like a gust of wind.
Many of those real estate tycoons felt that Meng Haisheng's investment was too radical.
Although Hong Kong Island is not large in area, there are still many places that can be developed.
Old Street is so close to Pengcheng, and there are many reasons why the Hong Kong Island government has never wanted to develop it.
Meng Haisheng is afraid that he will be trapped if he invests rashly.
Li Long has also been investing in Hong Kong Island real estate recently, so he naturally received the news early.
He is not blindly pessimistic about Meng Haisheng's radical move. On the contrary, he is more optimistic about the Old Street area.
Hong Kong Island is so small, and the housing prices in the city center are tens of thousands at any time, which is beyond the purchasing power of ordinary people.
In order to live in a house of your own, it is also possible to buy it in Old Street.
After all, the Hong Kong Island subway is well-connected, and even if you work in the city center, the commuting time will not be too long.
The development of Old Street is just a matter of time.
So when Li Long held a banquet in Hong Kong Island, he specially invited Meng Haisheng.
Needless to say, the banquet held by Li Long was absolutely grand.
Meng Haisheng and Lin Mucheng attended the banquet in their best attire.
Meng Haisheng, who had been in Hong Kong Island for such a long time, knew a lot of people.
As soon as he entered the banquet hall, someone came to talk to him.
Nine out of ten people who had been there asked Meng Haisheng why he wanted to invest in the old street, how much money he was going to invest, and whether he had any inside information.
In the eyes of outsiders, Meng Haisheng was just a bumpkin who depended on Zhou Wenqi. Although he made money, it was just luck. He was different from these old bosses in Hong Kong Island.
They had not received any news from the government that the old street was going to be developed. Meng Haisheng rashly invested in the old street, and he just waited to be stuck.
The land area on the old street was large and easy to get. Meng Haisheng had to invest in 52 commercial buildings at a time, and the funds he needed to mobilize were not a small amount.
When he goes to borrow money from the bank, the bank may not dare to lend him money. If it becomes an unfinished building, the bank will cry.
Some time ago, Meng Haisheng privatized Xingfa Real Estate by speculating in stocks, and the Golden Dragon Vein incident made him famous in Hong Kong Island.
To be honest, he suddenly emerged as a rising star, and I don’t know how many people in Hong Kong Island are jealous and want to step on him hard.
Among them are the Li family and the Lu family.
The Li family hates Meng Haisheng because he disrupted the Li family’s original plan in the battle of Lunjing Industrial.
Originally, the Li family wanted to control the stocks of Lunjing Industrial and make a lot of money, but because of Meng Haisheng’s sudden intervention, the Li family did not make much money from Lunjing Industrial.
Being robbed halfway, the Li family naturally disliked Meng Haisheng.
As for the Lu family, Lu Yiming had long been determined to acquire Xingfa Real Estate, but after working hard for a long time, he ended up making wedding clothes for others. Lu Yiming was almost so angry about this that he was hospitalized directly.
So when they heard that Meng Haisheng was going to invest in the old street, they were all waiting to see the show, and were even ready to give him a fatal blow when Meng Haisheng's capital chain broke.
"Peijun, what do you think of Meng Haisheng's investment in the old street?"
In a corner of the banquet, Lu Yiming stood and talked with Li Peijun with a smile.
At this time, Meng Haisheng and Lin Mucheng were dancing on the dance floor, attracting a lot of attention.
"I'm not optimistic. The old street is large, but it's all villages. It may take ten years to develop."
"Meng Haisheng is investing in the old street now. The money has been invested and he will get it back ten years later."
As he said this, Li Peijun laughed softly.
"No one knows what the real estate industry in Hong Kong will look like in ten years, and Meng Haisheng is going to invest in 52 buildings at a time, which requires a large amount of funds. The family property he has now is definitely not enough."
"His investment in Old Street is undoubtedly walking a tightrope. If he makes a mistake, he will be crushed to pieces."
"But I have to say that Meng Haisheng is really motivated and courageous."
Lu Yiming, who was standing aside, raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Li Peijun say this about Meng Haisheng.
"But Meng Haisheng should not be confused. Old Street has a large area, and the area he invested in is not far from Kowloon Walled City."
"There have been rumors that Kowloon Walled City is going to be demolished. If the government can really demolish Kowloon Walled City, maybe his side can really be developed."
Li Peijun nodded slightly.
"Kowloon Walled City will definitely be demolished, it depends on when, and Old Street will also be developed. It's a pity that Meng Haisheng is too impatient and entered too early."
When Li Peijun mentioned Meng Haisheng, his eyes were always on Lin Mucheng.
"Who is the woman dancing with Meng Haisheng? She looks a little unfamiliar."
"That's Meng Haisheng's wife. I heard she's from Beijing."
"She doesn't look like someone from Beijing, but more like someone from Hong Kong."
Lu Yiming was also very interested in Li Peijun.He is very understanding. When he said this, Lu Yiming laughed.
"Meng Haisheng is really lucky. He has a successful career and love life."
"But he has to live long enough to enjoy it. If he invests in Old Street, he will just wait to die."
The people around Li Peijun were not optimistic about Meng Haisheng after hearing him say this.
After all, for so many years, no matter whether it is a small company or a big company that invested in Old Street, it has not made much money.
The Kowloon Walled City has not been developed yet, so how could it be possible to go to Old Street first?
Meng Haisheng in the dance floor didn't know that he had already become the focus of attention.
After dancing with Lin Mucheng, he went to the rest area on the side to rest.
Ajie and Shen Yanran came over soon.
"Haisheng, do you want to invest in a shop recently?"
"I have thought about it, but I'm busy with things in the old street and haven't found the time."
"That's great. Let me introduce you to a shop. Yanran's family has a shop near Yuguang Department Store. They feel that collecting rent is too troublesome, so they are going to sell some shops. Are you interested in taking over?"
Meng Haisheng's eyes lit up when he heard the words "Yuguang Department Store".
"You have so much money in your hands, why do you need my help to take over?"
"Who said I didn't take over? I asked for 20 shops at a time."
"Ajie has a good eye. How many are left? I will buy them all at once. I have to give face to my future brother and sister-in-law."
"Brother Haisheng, my family still has more than 40 shops."
Shen Xueli was a little embarrassed. Her family built two commercial streets at that time. By her generation, the family gradually went downhill and could only sell some shops to get money back.
Although Shen Yanran and Shen Xueli are relatives, their personalities are very different. Shen Xueli is determined to marry into a wealthy family and has been wandering between wealthy men. It can be said that in order to marry into a wealthy family, Shen Xueli can do anything.
Shen Yanran is much more stable. She is also serious about her relationship with Ajie. She will not ask for endlessly just because Ajie is rich.
Meng Haisheng admires Shen Yanran very much.
"No problem, I want all the shops. If you are free tomorrow, come to my company directly. I will ask someone to handle this matter."
Seeing Meng Haisheng so straightforward, Shen Yanran's uneasiness on her face disappeared instantly.
"Thank you, Brother Haisheng."
As they were talking about this, Li Long came with a few people, including Li Jiahuan.
