Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Turning to look at Wang Ye, Yu Xin's mother said with a smile: "Reporter Wang, please sit down. The room is too small, and it can't compare to the big houses you have in the mainland. It's ridiculous."

Before coming, Yu Xin called her home and said that a domestic journalist was coming, so her mother called Wang Ye "Reporter Wang."

Wang Ye smiled and said casually: "Land in Xiangjiang is very expensive. Such a big house is considered very good, and the location is so close to Central."

From the perspective of ordinary people, this is indeed the case. The market price of Yu Xin’s house is worth several million. A family of three can live in three bedrooms and one living room of 60 to 70 square meters. This is considered very wealthy in Xiangjiang!

 Seeing Wang Ye being so "discerning", Yu Xin's mother smiled even more happily.

This young man is really nice. He is decent-looking and good at talking. It's a pity that he is from the mainland. Otherwise, he would be a good match for his daughter...

She did not look down on mainlanders, but at that time, objectively there was still a big gap between the two places, especially economically.

Sitting on the sofa, Wang Ye chatted leisurely with Yu Xin and Yu Xin's mother about home affairs.

During the chat, I learned that Yu Xin’s family is not considered a “native” of Xiangjiang. Her grandparents came to Xiangjiang from the mainland before liberation, and Yu Xin’s generation can be considered the “third generation of Xiangjiang”…

  It is not a wealthy family. My father made some money a few years ago when the real estate market in Xiangjiang was relatively prosperous and bought this house. However, the real estate market in Xiangjiang has not been very good in recent years, so the family's finances have been a bit tight.

Yu Xin’s mother is considering whether to go out to work to earn money to support the family.

“I said, after all, I am also a top student who graduated from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Although I have not worked for more than ten years, if I really want to work, it is not difficult to find a job that pays 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month.

As for housework, it would be better to hire a Filipino maid, which only costs a few thousand yuan a month.

Your father is so proud of himself that he doesn’t want me to go out to work, but it’s hard for him to make money alone to support the family.

 Luckily, Yuxin, you are working now, otherwise it would be really difficult to survive. "

Yu Xin’s mother sat there and complained, it seems that middle-aged women all over the world are the same, regardless of their level of education or status, they all like to blame their husbands for not living up to expectations...

Hearing her mother’s complaints, Yu Xin felt a little embarrassed. The short-sightedness of these parents seemed a bit inappropriate for a person of Mikhail’s status.

She quickly interjected: "Isn't it true that Dad is considerate of you, because he is afraid that you will work too hard when you go out to work? As you know, the economic environment has not been very good in recent years, and high-paying jobs are not so easy to find. Moreover, So what if you find a job with a monthly salary of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan? After a year of hard work, it is still not worth the commission my dad earned from selling a house."

Yu Xin's mother curled her lips and retorted: "His commission for selling the house is very high, but the premise is that it can be sold! You also know that what he sells are luxury homes. The economy is in recession these days. How can anyone have spare money to invest? Real estate.”

Wang Ye was a little surprised. Haven't housing prices in Xiangjiang risen yet?

 In his impression, the housing prices in Xiangjiang have always been outrageous, but he has never paid much attention to them, so he is not very clear.

I asked curiously: "Are housing prices in Xiangjiang low now? I heard from Yu Xin that the housing prices in this community are HKD 80,000 per square meter. Aren't luxury houses even more expensive? The price is not low."

Before Yuxin and her mother could answer, a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt, black trousers and tie walked out of the room and answered with a smile:

"Haha, of course it is sky-high compared to the mainland, but compared with previous years, the current housing prices have dropped a lot. You know, around 20102, the housing prices in our community were still 120,000 to 30,000 yuan per square meter. It’s almost cut in half now!

 The price of luxury homes has a greater impact. Although the real estate market has slowly recovered since last year, house prices have risen very slowly, and the market has a strong wait-and-see sentiment.

 Maybe people don’t have much confidence yet, so it’s really difficult to sell luxury homes in the near future. "

Yuxin stood up and called: "Dad."

Then he introduced to Wang Ye: "Mr. Wang, this is my dad."

Then she introduced her to her father: "Dad, this is my friend, from the mainland."

 Her father very keenly noticed Yu Xin’s address to Wang Ye, “Mr. Wang”!

 In their real estate agency industry, they are of course very familiar with the term "general" and "boss". Anyone can be called "general" or "boss".

But her daughter is a reporter, and she is quite picky about how to address others. Since she calls this young man "Mr. Wang," then this young man's identity must be more than just a reporter!

So he stretched out his hand to Wang Ye with a smile and asked: "Hello, Mr. Wang, welcome to Xiangjiang. I wonder which city in the mainland Mr. Wang has been to? I am also very familiar with the mainland. I have gone back many times in the past few years, especially Pengcheng and Yangcheng is developing really fast.”

 Wang Ye said casually: "Hello, Uncle Liu, I work in the capital."

Yu Xin's original name is "Liu Yuxin", so her father's surname is naturally Liu...

Yu Xin’s father naturally picked up the topic, “The capital is a great place, with outstanding people and many big bosses! Wang

You should have listened to what Yu Xin said. I am in the luxury real estate business. In the past, the customers I received were either local wealthy people in Xiangjiang or foreign wealthy people. But since 2000, there have been more customers from the mainland.

Taking the luxury house I am currently recommending as an example, the current owner is a wealthy man from the Mainland. He bought the luxury house in 2001. The transaction price at that time was as high as 280 million Hong Kong dollars, which caused a sensation in the entire Hong Kong real estate circle! It even ranks among the best in global luxury real estate transactions.

After he bought this mansion, it went through five years of renovation and renovation. It is almost completely new, and its current market value has at least doubled! "

Yu Xin exclaimed from the side: "Ah? Dad, is the house known as the most luxurious house in Hong Kong going to be sold? The asking price is more than one billion Hong Kong dollars. Who can afford it! Even if it can be bought, who will? It’s hard to spend so much money to buy such a house in today’s economic environment. But that house is really great, whether it’s the location, the scenery, the Feng Shui pattern, or the surrounding environment, it’s simply impeccable.”

It seems that the mansion her father mentioned should be quite famous, even Yu Xin knows it very well.

Yu Xin’s father nodded, “The asking price is indeed quite high, the listing price is as high as 900 million Hong Kong dollars.”

"Tsk, tsk! 900 million Hong Kong dollars! How dare you ask for it? Didn't that mansion cost 280 million? It's so expensive now. No wonder no one bought it." Yu Xin's mother exclaimed.

Yu Xin's father showed a bitter smile on his face and spread his hands to explain: "Actually, the price is not outrageous. Don't forget that it was bought in 2001. It was basically the lowest period of housing prices in Hong Kong. Although the economic environment is not good now, But the house price has increased a lot compared to the beginning. Besides, the owner has been renovating and renovating the house since he bought it. As far as I know, he invested 100 to 200 million Hong Kong dollars in renovation and decoration alone. Calculated in this way, in The capital cost invested by the owner in this house alone is about HK$500 million, and there is also a five-year time cost."

Wang Ye nodded, he quite agreed with the price.

If it is true as they say, this is the "No. 1 mansion in Hong Kong", it is really not outrageous to sell it for HK$900 million now.

Because in his previous life, he remembered seeing on the news that Lao Ma and other mainland rich people had developed a trend of buying real estate in Hong Kong in the past few years. All the rich people had bought luxury houses in Hong Kong, and the prices were easily hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars or more. billion Hong Kong dollars.

Even with such a high price, the news did not describe it as a "number one luxury house". It is conceivable that what they bought was not even the top luxury house in Xiangjiang.

Then we can surmise how outrageous the real prices of luxury homes in Xiangjiang will be in a decade or so...

Thinking of this, Wang Ye's heart moved. He had been paying attention to the economic development of the mainland and had invested a lot in Pengcheng, but he had always ignored Pengcheng's "neighbor" Xiangjiang!

 If you really want to talk about it, investing in Xiangjiang is actually more suitable.

 After all, this is a global free trade port and the financial center of Asia. Almost all financial institutions around the world have branches or offices here.

 If nothing else, in terms of the convenience of capital flow, the mainland cannot compare.

 The return on investment here will definitely not be low, especially in luxury homes and high-end office buildings!

In his previous life, the foreign trade company he worked for once wanted to set up an office in Xiangjiang. Wang Ye took care of it. It was about 16 years ago, so Wang Ye still remembers the rent of office buildings here...

 Because compared to the “very low” office rents in Pengcheng, the rents here in Xiangjiang are really outrageous!

It is said that the rent of the most expensive office buildings has reached more than 2,000 Hong Kong dollars per square meter per month. The annual rent of any of the iconic office buildings in Central exceeds 10 billion yuan...

If you take advantage of the sluggish economy in Hong Kong and buy a few office buildings at low prices, you can become super rich in the future just by eating and renting!

Of course, Wang Ye also understood that even in 2006, if you wanted to buy a high-end office building in Hong Kong Central, you would need a huge amount of funds, and it would definitely not be cheap.

However, we can understand this matter in depth, maybe there are loopholes that can be picked up...

Although office buildings here in Xiangjiang are expensive, the finance here is super developed. At most, you can take a commercial loan. You can just get a rent-to-support loan and wait for the rent and housing prices to skyrocket.

  Anyway, this is definitely a good business with huge profits!

 Compared with high-end office buildings, luxury houses are not attractive.

Because of a mansion, let’s talk about the so-called “Hong Kong’s No. 1 mansion” that we just discussed, it costs less than one billion Hong Kong dollars to buy it now, and it will be sold for three billion Hong Kong dollars in more than ten years!

So what can I do...

For such a small profit, Wang Ye is too lazy to take action!

 …

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Wang Ye's face. He smiled shyly and asked Yuxin's father, "I wonder if Uncle Liu is familiar with the office market in Xiangjiang?"

Yu Xin's father was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said with a smile: "What? Mr. Wang intends to come to Xiangjiang for development. Do you plan to rent an office building? Although I am not professional in the office building business, I also have a lot of resources in this area. I can definitely We will help you find a satisfactory office property. Let’s talk about your requirements first, such as location, rent, total budget, etc.”

  He thought Wang Ye was planning to open a branch or office here. There were many such things, especially after 1997, when a large number of companies from the mainland came here.

Yu Xin was a little surprised. She knew the identity of "Mr. Wang" next to her. How could such a big shot come to Xiangjiang to rent an office building and do business...

But she was also very smart and didn’t say anything. She just sat quietly next to Wang Ye, helping him pour water and fruits.

Wang Ye said slowly while thinking: "The location...of course it is the best within the Central District. It must be a top-notch office building. It would be even better if it is one of those iconic buildings..."

Yu Xin’s father’s eyes were a little straightened, because according to Wang Ye’s request, it was obviously not a “little fight”!

  Real estate practitioners like him certainly understand how high the rents of the top-level office buildings in the iconic buildings in Central are. The companies that can move into those office buildings are all world-famous large financial institutions or large companies such as the Fortune 500!

 General small and medium-sized companies simply cannot afford that high rent!

He hesitated and then interjected: "Mr. Wang, this...the rents of those top-level office buildings are very high, and they also have high requirements for the companies that move in. Even if you are willing to spend a lot of money to rent, if the company's strength is not up to the The property will not be rented to you if it is someone else’s threshold.”

This was said a bit tactfully, because in his opinion, the person who can become "friends" with his daughter, a young reporter who has just entered the industry, even if he is the boss of some company, his strength should be quite limited. Call him "Mr. Wang" , that’s just to give him face.

 I really thought I was some big shot, but the top office building in Central was mentioned...

Of course Wang Ye could hear the meaning of his words, but he didn't say anything. He just smiled, waved his hand to signal him not to worry, and continued: "Uncle Liu, you may have misunderstood. I don't want to rent an office building... "

Yu Xin's father felt a little angry when he heard this. You guys are just entertaining me, right?

Since you don’t plan to rent an office building, why are you talking to me so much just now...

He was about to say something, but Wang Ye didn't give him a chance and said directly: "Because I originally planned to buy a few office buildings in Central!"

"Cough...ah...cough..." Yuxin's father almost choked to death on his own saliva.

He just took out a tissue and covered his mouth to prevent him from choking on his saliva. That would be too rude.

At the same time, he stared at Wang Ye dumbfounded, his mind in confusion.

 Want to buy an office building in Central…

 Hands to buy “a few more”!

Does this guy understand what this means? !
