Chapter 228 Acquisition of Times Square

Chapter 228 Acquisition of Times Square

Golden Gate Building, the property rights of this building is a bit complicated.

This building was built by the famous Golden Gate Construction Company. After Jardine acquired the Golden Gate Building in 1975, the Golden Gate Building became the property of Jardine.

In December 1978, Hongkong Land purchased the property from Jardine for HK$715 million. By the end of 1979, Hongkong Land wanted to raise funds to buy more shares of Wharf, so it intended to sell the building "at a price higher than the purchase price a year ago." "Sell, Chen Songqi immediately started negotiations with Hongkong Land.

On July 11, 1980, Carrian confirmed that it had made the final payment for the Golden Gate Building "on schedule".

On July 15, Carrian Group announced that it would transfer 75% of its equity in Golden Gate Building to Carrian Real Estate at a symbolic price of HK$1, and Carrian Real Estate would assume the equity and debts of Golden Gate Building.

At the time, Carrian Real Estate stated that the group intended to make a "long-term investment" in the Golden Gate Building.

However, the words were still ringing in my ears. At the end of July, Carrian Property suddenly announced that the negotiations on the sale of the Golden Gate Building had entered an "advanced stage", and the sale price was about HK$1.5 billion.

Stimulated by the relevant news, Carrian Real Estate's share price rose further to HK$9.

On August 14th, Carrian Real Estate announced that it had reached a preliminary agreement with the Bainingsun Group held by the founders of Hang Seng Bank, Lin Xiurong and Lin Xiufeng brothers, to sell the 75% interest in the Golden Gate Building held by HK$1.18 billion. The buyer has paid a deposit. The transaction will close on September 13.

However, the preliminary agreement was quickly replaced by another statement. Carrian Real Estate and Chung Zhengwen will sell the entire Golden Gate Building to Bainingshun at a price of HK$1.68 billion. The transaction will be completed before the end of October.

In other words, in less than a year, Carrian and Chung Ching Man made nearly HK$700 million in profits from buying and selling Golden Gate Building.

No matter what tricks Chen Songqi and Zhong Zhengwen played in Nanyi, Nian Lufu let Nian Lufu sell the shares of Carrian Real Estate in his hand at the beginning of the year, and the profit was not much, less than 7 times or less. From 40 million Hong Kong dollars to 270 million Hong Kong dollars.

When the time entered June, Carrian's decline was already evident, and the defense level of Repulse Bay Villa also began to improve. Except for the two little girls going to school, Nanyi tried to keep them from going out as much as possible.

On the seventh floor of the Golden Gate Building, Nanyi rented an office of 2,600 square feet here as the office space of the Fang Group.

Fang's Group, Fang Mengyin is the chairman of the group, and Nanyi is here as the general manager, playing the role of a young owner and Xiaokai.

Well, Xiao Kai, naturally he has to look like Xiao Kai.

Nanyi's private secretary, Liang Yun, was sitting opposite the executive desk at this time, putting her legs on the chair and applying red medicine on her knees, while Nanyi was holding a knife in the corner of the office, huddled together Agarwood blows in front of the root of the agarwood.

Scrape agarwood in an incense bowl, open the lid of the incense burner, tamp the incense ash inside the incense burner, put the shaping mold in the incense burner, scoop agarwood powder into the blank space of the mold, tamp it, and draw a special long stick Match, light the agarwood powder, and cover the lid of the incense burner.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance wafted from Nanyi's office.

This fragrance washed away the previous erosion and made the air in the office fresh.

"My stockings were torn by you." After applying the red potion, Liang Yun put the cap on the potion bottle and said shyly to Nan Yi.

"Then take off the other one too, and you can go to the mall to buy a new one in the afternoon."

As Nanyi said, he opened the drawer, took out a wad of money from it, and put it in front of Liang Yun without counting.

In fact, there is no need to count at all. There are three stacks of money in the drawer, and the amount of each stack is different. However, Nanyi ordered and prepared in advance. This stack was taken from the middle, with a face value of 500, and a total of twenty notes .

Nanyi's personality determines that he is willing to spend money, but he must know where every money goes, and it is impossible for him to "count without counting" to make himself big.

Don't expect him to spend any money that shouldn't be spent.

"Aren't you going with me?"

"No time, my grandma is coming back soon. The company has no business and has not recruited enough people. I have to hurry up and get down to business, or my grandma will definitely blame me."

"Okay, then I'll go by myself."

Liang Yun put away the money on the table, stood up and was about to go out, but just as she took the first step, she couldn't help frowning slightly, rubbed her hands subconsciously behind her, and walked out of the south after a while. Easy office.

How do you hide your identity as a super rich man?

The best way is to turn yourself into a rich person, a rich person who everyone knows that you are strong on the outside, but rich on the outside.

Fang Mengyin's identity cannot be concealed from others, so she simply revealed it openly for everyone to see. The Fang family in Shanghai has been prosperous for 20 to 30 years, and they have a little family property overseas, and they have hidden some gold and jewelry. Everyone can understand this.

A shrewd old lady paired with a second-generation ancestor who is poor and rich, this is very much in line with the imagination of the people who eat melons.

A rich second generation who does not smoke or promiscuously is not a good rich second generation.

It turns out that in the mainland, Nanyi can hide in the wild, but his movements will become bigger and bigger, and he will fly around the world. It is no longer realistic to hide in the wild. He has to change his strategy to hide in the city.

Not many people would care about an incompetent, second-generation ancestor who doesn't like female stars and doesn't show up often, and gossip magazines don't bother to talk to such people. With this national kung fu, it is better to find a good angle and take a photo of a celebrity with ambiguity.

The opening picture is all based on editing, which is the basic skill of a paparazzi.

Press the intercom to let Ruan Zhiping from outside come in.

"Zhiping, what's the name of that beauty at the front desk?"

"Xia Wenzhen."

"Is there a gambler in the family?"

"No, it's just that her elder brother likes to buy horses, just to join in the fun, buying five or ten yuan each time; her parents are ordinary citizens, there is nothing special about it."

"Alright, if Fang's is the same as the sieve, it's too fake. The company wants to set up a sales department in the Asia-Pacific region to sell red wine. First, you need to find a human resources director. If you want a woman, let her set up the human resources department.

After the HR team is established, we will start recruiting salespeople, not salespeople, but..."

Nan Yi thought for a while and said: "This is the name of the image ambassador for the promotion of red wine culture. There is no education limit, age 18 to 35, good appearance and figure, and more outgoing. If you talk well, the appearance requirements can be relaxed. "

"Really?"

"Well, the person who does things is not an actor. Fang must have a business that can bring in money. Put Donglaiwu Film and Television Investment Company under Fang's banner, and Fang will operate it."

"Understood."

Beep beep!

Nanyi's pager rang.

Press the button once, and three numbers "129" are displayed on the screen.

1 stands for the area code of the country, 2 stands for business affairs, and 9 stands for urgent and needs Nanyi to reply immediately.

Nan Yi stood up and walked outside, went downstairs, entered the parking lot, got into his car and picked up the phone to dial out.

Fang's hasn't become a sieve yet, and it's okay to make phone calls in the office, but Nanyi just wants to make himself develop the habit of not making important calls in Fang's, so as to avoid any omissions in the future.

"Huiwen, what's the matter?"

"Cooper just called. Times Square in New York is up for sale, asking if you want to buy it."

"Times Square is going to be sold, how is it possible?" Nan Yi was surprised, and then immediately realized, "You mean Times Tower is going to be sold?"

New York Times Square, or New York Times Square, originally did not refer to a bustling Longacre Square area in Manhattan, New York, but the name of a building built in Warangacre Square.

It's just that with the passage of time, the original Longacre Square was slowly called Times Square, and then Times Square again, and the concept of the name changed accordingly. The original real Times Square was renamed Times Building.

"Yes, the original landlord wants to sell."

"Got it, I'll call Cooper."

After Nanyi hung up the phone, he quickly called Cooper again, "Cooper, is the New York Times going to sell the Times Building?"

"Yes, BOSS, I have already consulted, and their asking price is not too high, only 60 million US dollars. If we buy the Times Building and announce it after the name-calling event, our reputation of Vandeford will be greatly improved." It resounded throughout the country, and it will resound throughout the world in the future.”

That's right, the name collection activity is not over yet, but the name has actually been decided by default, and the one million dollars will be returned to Nanyi with only a small amount of tax.

Nanyi's mind turned quickly, and he recalled all the memories about Times Building, and finally said into the microphone: "60 million is indeed not much, this is a good deal, you can check as soon as possible to see if Times Building has any debts and property rights disputes, I will find a way to mobilize funds.”

"OK, BOSS, I will report to you as soon as possible."

Buying the Times Building for US$60 million is a lucrative business. There is no need to rent the building to others for office work. You only need to rent the building and find a big company to ask for alms.

You give me millions of dollars every year, and I let you put a dog skin plaster on my building.

If the advertising fee is deducted from the building maintenance cost and the time span is extended to ten years, it can bring Nanyi at least a net income of more than 150 million US dollars. Even if the building is full of difficult tenants, even if the New York Times has received the rent for a hundred years, he will still make money without losing money.

Buy, must buy!

After a while of excitement, Nan Yi thought about the land issue. The land at the foot of the Times Building definitely does not belong to the New York Times. If there is no mistake, it should belong to the Trinity Church.

New York Trinity Church is located at No. 79 Broadway in Lower Manhattan, New York City, at the intersection of Broadway and Wall Street. It is an ancient parish church of the Episcopal Church in New York.

Consecrated on May 1, 1846, on Ascension Day, the church was the tallest building in Lower Manhattan at the time, with its towering neo-Gothic spire adorned with gilded crosses and a welcoming beacon for ships entering New York Harbor.

Of course, these are not important. The most important thing is that Trinity Church is a large landowner in New York, owning a large tract of land in Manhattan. The land at the foot of the Empire State Building and the World Trade Center is owned by others, and they have to pay the church every year.

If there is no accident, Nanyi will soon pay them money every year.
