The journey starts from the Titanic

Chapter 77

He Fu soon thought of this, but he felt that Situ Nan was a little arrogant and a little uncomfortable in his heart. When he faced Situ Nan's momentum, he realized that Situ Nan and the strength of the American capital behind him are not as good as the British.

"Of course we represent the He family. What happened today has nothing to do with Jardine Matheson."

He Dong smiled slightly and promised.His face became gentle, faint, the sharp aura that had just melted into the air suddenly, turning into a gentle breeze.

"Yes. I know that most of the land in the Xinhepu area of ​​Dongshan is now in the hands of Country Garden. If possible, we hope to buy some land from you, about 20 or 30 acres at the original price. How about twice as much?" He Fudao.

Originally, Jardine Matheson was also very optimistic about the land in Xinhepu. He Fu originally wanted to buy it, but he had to take care of the business in Shanghai. Guangzhou was a bit slower, and Meihua took the lead.

Just now He Fu also planned to let Country Garden transfer the land to Jardine Matheson, but after learning about Situ Nan's attitude, He Fu gave up his mind.

Anyway, if any family came forward, the money was also made.

"It looks like a good deal, but I think the value of the land is far more than the current price. Meihua invested tens of millions to build a new road in Dongshan, to a certain extent, also for the Xinhepuna land. Don't hide it from you Said that after we are ready to build the road, we will build a group of villas in nearby Xinhepu to build the most luxurious and wealthy community in Guangzhou!"

Situ Nan said softly.He Dong's family was not the only one who made the idea of ​​Xinhepu. Other businessmen in Guangzhou also wanted to buy some land from Country Garden. Unfortunately, most of them were rejected by Lin Yimin.

People are like this, the more you can't get, the more precious things are. Therefore, the land price has gone up a lot before construction on Xinhepu has started.

"How about we offer 5 times the price?" He Fu said again.

"Are you sure you are really buying land?" Situ Nan looked at He Fu in surprise.

"Why not? Then ten times!"

"No!" Situ Nan shook his head.

"Twenty times!" He Fu gritted his teeth, looking like he was determined to win.

Situ Nan still shook his head.

"Fifty times!" He Fu's tooth hurt again.

"Less, now the land price is rising day by day, I don't know when it will soon rise to a hundred times?" Situ Nan shook his head, but his attitude became softer.

"As far as I know, when you repossessed the land, an acre of land was only more than 100 yuan, and it doubled 100 times when you changed hands. Your business is so good." He Fu was a little unhappy, suggesting that Situ Nan was too greedy.

"You can't say that! We did not spend a lot of money on land acquisition at the beginning, but in order to develop this new city and enhance the value of this piece of land, Country Garden's money was outflowing.

Leveling the land, repairing roads, repairing drainage and sewage systems, and water distribution and power distribution systems all cost millions to tens of millions of yuan.

Besides, we have to clean up the rivers in this area again and engage in greening or something. To be honest, even if I pay a hundred times the price, it is definitely not high.Situ Nan explained.

"You haven't built this yet?" He Fu bargained.

"That's why I opened 100 times! After finishing the foundation or something, at least I have to open 1000 times, or else I'm sorry for our carefully crafted "Master Dongshan" sign, right?" Situ Nan asked rhetorically.

According to his estimation, it is certain that he holds the most elite area in Guangzhou and the average price is over ten thousand.At present, the average price of land in the urban area of ​​Guangzhou is 5,000 to 6,000 yuan per mu. Asking He Fu for 10,000 yuan per mu is definitely not a lion's mouth.

Situ Nan felt that he was still very kind.He cocked Erlang's legs, lit his cigar, looked at He Dong who was silent next to him, and asked him if he wanted one.

In short, I love buying or not selling.Had it not been for the He Dong family, Situ Nan would not bother to care about these things!After learning about Country Garden's development plan, many wealthy businessmen in Guangzhou were willing to pay 10,000 yuan per acre for the land in Xinhepu, but Lin Yimin did not agree.

Just like a piece of wasteland that no one cares about, when oil is suddenly released, it becomes a sweet pastry that everyone is fighting for.

"Meihua really invested several million to build the new Hepu?" He Dong asked suddenly.His eyes fixedly looked at Situ Nan, as if he wanted to get the answer from Situ Nan's eyes.

"Yes. Hasn't Meihua Road already started? Xinhepu is not far from Meihua Road, it's only separated by a river, but only a kilometer or two. We even planned the bridge.

The commercial street of Meihua Road and the villa group of Xinhepu absolutely complement each other and do not interfere with each other.According to our plan, the dignitaries in Guangzhou can go home and rest in less than half an hour after having socializing from the Meihua Road Commercial Street on the other side.Moreover, we also learn from foreign experience and prepare to set up supporting leisure facilities in the villa area."

Situ Nan felt as excited as a young lady buying an off-plan. She said that she was in a hurry. It seemed that the price was a bit low.He glanced at He Dong faintly and said, "Well, what I said above is all planned. Now Xinhepu is just a rotten land. It seems to be a bit superfluous to say it. In short, I will not deceive others. That's it."

"I believe it!" He Dong said simply, "I want 100 acres of land."

"Big Brother..." He Fu persuaded.It's a little bit impulsive that I didn't even see the shadow of a villa with hundreds of thousands of yuan.

"No need to say more, I know it in my heart. If you can buy a lie by Mr. Situ for one million, it's worth it!"

He Dong said with a big smile.He knew in his heart that Situ Nan would naturally not lie to him. As far as he knew, Country Garden had not transferred the land to other businessmen in Guangzhou in large quantities except for some connections. It can be seen that Meihua really values ​​the villa in Dongshan Xinhepu very much. Development.

He Dong's humor amused both Situ Nan and He Fu.He Fu smiled slightly, thinking of Situ Nan's unfathomable strength, He Fu no longer insisted.

In this way, a one million yuan land transaction reached an agreement in three words between Situ Nan and He Dong.

He Dong was very refreshing and vigorous, and signed the letter of intent on the spot.

Situ Nan knew that He Dong had a lot of properties in Shanghai and had a lot of investment in real estate, so he asked He Dong about the situation in Shanghai.

"Seriously, the situation in Shanghai is much better than that in Guangzhou. The low prices of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of acres along Nanjing Road are normal, but I am still optimistic about the potential of Guangzhou."

He Dong said.

As a top comprador family, he knew more about China's economy than Situ Nan.

"In addition to real estate, our He Dong Company has also invested a lot in shipping and trade. I hope we can increase cooperation. As far as I know, Meihua Company has heard that it wants to invest in a sugar factory in Leizhou. Give us sugar for sale?" He Dong asked.

"Mr. He is really well informed!" Situ Nan smiled.Heart: He Dong Company imports a lot of cane sugar from Huang Zhonghan’s Jianyuan Company every year. It is normal that Meihua Company and Jianyuan Company jointly invest in sugar industry in Leizhou can’t hide from each other. Besides, they have a close relationship with Jardine Matheson. It's not too difficult.

"Meihua's strengthening of cooperation with Ho Tung Company is also what I like to see. After all, everyone is Chinese! It is also necessary to cooperate with each other, right?" Situ Nan smiled, spitting out the smoke, and carefully watching He Dong's expression on the opposite side.

"Yes. We Chinese are easy to be bullied if we are not united. It's just that the country is not strong enough and we are not at ease in doing business." He Dong sighed with emotion, seeming to reveal his true feelings.

"Well, the Chinese are united," Situ Nan murmured, looking at He Dong with emotion on his face, thinking.Many people know that He Dong started his business as a comprador in a foreign bank. If he simply thinks that he is a running dog of the British, it would be wrong.

In fact, the evaluation of a person or category of people cannot be generalized.

In addition to his close relationship with the British, He Dong also had a good relationship with the Revolutionary Party, the royalists and others. Sun Yat-sen, Kang Youwei, and Xiao Jiang, who still couldn't make it to the stage, were also good friends of He Dong.Different people have different opinions as to how good they are.

I have not been in this world for a short time, and I have experienced a lot. Situ Nan also has a different understanding of the term comprador.

Putting aside the so-called class theory, the comprador has nothing to do with praise or criticism, but a real existence, a middleman or an agent.

The only thing that makes people somewhat criticized is that when Chinese and foreigners do business, their status is not quite equal. As a participant in it, the compradors naturally become "accomplices" unnaturally.Situ Nan was more tolerant of this, so he would not have the preconceived views of the Ho Tung family. Instead, she appreciated the efforts of the Ho Tung family in philanthropy education, so that the William Foundation donated a sum of money to build the University of Hong Kong.

The cooperation between Meihua and He Dong is also profitable for both parties. Of course, Meihua will definitely keep its own secrets and will not trust the Hedong family.

The Ho Dong family’s roots are in Hong Kong, and they are closer to the British capital such as Jardines. It is impossible for Meihua to pull the other party into its own camp at once. However, Situ Nan believes that the cooperation model between Meihua and Nanyang Chinese businessmen is also Suitable for the Hedong family, but the timing is not ripe.

He wanted to see where the two sides could go in the end.

After reaching a cooperation agreement, He Dong was in a good mood.After staying in Situ Nan, I plan to spend the night in Situ Mansion and return to Hong Kong in a few days.

After dinner, He Dong wanted to see the night market in Guangzhou.

"It's been a long time since I tried the Tingzai porridge in Guangzhou. Those in Hong Kong are not authentic. Will Mr. Situ Nan try it with us?" He Dong invited with a smile.
