Chapter 307 Boao
Just when domestic real estate industry colleagues were envious and jealous of Xinghua Real Estate's performance, they didn't expect that the real estate boss suddenly became confused and would look at the remote area in South of Shanghai, which has nothing but beautiful scenery. You should know that Hainan is a sad place for the domestic real estate industry. The hardest hit area of the first wave of real estate bubble burst in 1994 happened here. Many bigwigs in the world failed here and were unable to recover. Only looking at the hundreds of unfinished buildings in Haikou City, the capital of Hainan Province are proof of this.
Boao is located on the seaside of Qionghai City, Hainan. It is far away from Hainan's only economically developed northern Haikou City and Sanya City at the southern end, with inconvenient transportation. Even if the resort built by Xinghua Real Estate is beautiful, no one will come to see the paradise on earth. Many people in the industry are already gambled with great enthusiasm, speculating that Xinghua Real Estate CEO Yu Deli and sales director An Yili made this move, not long before they stepped down.
Yang Xing, who had returned to Hong Kong, touched his chin that had just grown stubble. He looked at the so-called Brick Beast in the economic publication at hand and sneered at the criticism of this, thinking that this was really wronged Yu Deli and the others were targeting him. Now no one can see what Xinghua Real Estate sells. It was not that Yang Xing had made this matter in Beijing, and Yu Deli and the others could not understand Yang Xing's decision. However, he cannot publicize the reasons for this decision to the outside world for the time being, otherwise the great benefits would definitely make domestic real estate developers compete for the first time.
In fact, this is the benefit that Cheng Canghai gave him. It is unreasonable to use him to do so many things, and it is not a good idea to reward Yang Xing without any sweetness. The reason for the incident is that, given the great impact of this Asian financial crisis on the entire East Asian economy, in addition to its economic and political impact, it has also had a great impact on traditional Asian business culture such as Neo-Confucian theory that is popular in East Asia. Many Asian leaders even doubted the traditional concept of business governance in various countries. For this reason, Asian countries have talked about the theory of Asian economic integration, which has not been very effective for many years, has reappeared and become a topic that is often talked about by Asian politicians. The last time Yang Xing attended the Asian Economic Seminar in Japan to fight with Ichinosuke Yasuda in Japan was a summit meeting for senior leaders of various countries to discuss the current economic situation.
As the Asian storm swept East Asia, former Philippine President Ramos, former Australian President Hawke, former Japanese Prime Minister Hosokawa Morihi and other "former" politicians were preparing to organize a large regional forum to focus on economic and political issues in the Asian region due to concerns about the fate of their country. At this time, the Chinese government was determined to take advantage of the opportunity of the Asian financial crisis to increase its national popularity and was also considering setting up an internationally influential organization in China. After hearing this news, it strongly supported the second place.
After the two sides hit it off, the Chinese leaders planned to choose a place in China as the permanent location of the forum. In accordance with the internationally renowned, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, and known as the Davos Conference of the World Economic Forum, they decided to choose a similar small town with beautiful scenery as the forum. Originally, this construction project with strong political significance was intended to be undertaken by a large state-owned real estate company in China, but now Yang Xing has worked hard and made great contributions, Cheng Canghai gave it to him as a gift.
At this time, it is estimated that not many people can see the great prospects of this project. They think it is another domestic political real estate project that looks beautiful but is not good at all. However, as a rebirth, Yang Xing's vision is naturally different from them. When he was still in Beijing, he received Cheng Canghai's promise and could not wait to immediately ask Yu Deli and others to start the project immediately. Without an opponent, he not only won the project to rebuild the small fishing village hall of Boao, but also built the entire Boao area into a high-end tourism real estate project integrating tourism, international conferences, and leisure and vacation. The reason is very simple, but once mentioned in the future, it can be compared with the Boao Forum in Asia!
The Davos Forum is held in the town of Davos, a ski resort with less than 20,000 people from January to February every year, but international politicians, presidents of multinational companies, well-known economists, etc., are constantly coming to participate. Those who can get an invitation letter from the Davos Forum are enough to prove that you have an important position in the world economy. Moreover, participating in this forum allows you to have a close conversation with internationally renowned political and economic leaders. For businessmen who are trying to establish a network of personal connections, they can not only look for business opportunities at the meeting, but also accept the latest information and improve their business level. Many business elites regard participating in such forums as their dream opportunity. Every time the Davos Forum is held, tickets are hard to get.
The benefits of being able to build the Boao Forum for Asia, which is as famous as it, as the organizer of China Star Group will only be greater. Yang Xing knew that in order to support this international event held in China, national leaders would visit the forum in person at each meeting. And as the world entered the new century, the trend of the international economic center moving eastward to Asia became more and more obvious. This forum naturally rose and attracted more and more heavyweights in the international economic circle year by year, which made the Davos Forum feel a sense of crisis and was forced to open a summer forum in Tianjin, China to confront it. It could pose a threat to the Davos Forum, which is known as the "unofficial highest international economic conference", which shows the success of the Boao Forum for Asia.
Yang Xing wanted to develop the land around Boao before the opening of the first forum in 2001. He used the two or three years to exchange for the opportunity to become famous in Shi Xinghua Real Estate. After the opening of the forum, it will not only attract politicians and economic people from all over the world, but also show the charming seaside scenery of the East through live broadcasts. This is an opportunity for someone to advertise for you without spending money! Moreover, Yang Xing and the others are not worried about the construction of supporting facilities in this international conference venue, the central government and
The Hainan Provincial Government will do its best to repair the tunnel road power and other facilities. Yang Xing and the others only need to enjoy the fruits of their lives and build the vast area around the venue into a beautiful and picturesque high-end tourist area. When the meeting is held, guests will come in a crowded place. Domestic tourists will see the beautiful scenery here, and the signboard of the international conference venue will attract them to ensure that Boao's fame will spread rapidly throughout the world. At that time, there will be no worries that no one will come to buy a house. This is a high-end tourism real estate project, ensuring a lot of money!
But in the eyes of outsiders, Yang Xing's move is considered to support the newly concluded Central Housing Reform Conference. His $10 billion investment in Kwun Tong old city renovation project in Hong Kong was still under deliberation by the Hong Kong parliament. Now he has spent a huge amount of money to acquire land everywhere in China. It seems that the rumors that Yang Xing has a relationship with domestic senior management is not groundless. So when Yang Xing quietly returned to Hong Kong, many people were speculating about who the next target of this financial prodigy was.
After calculating carefully, Yang Xing hid in Indonesia in the name of avoiding public opinion wars and manipulating Indonesia's political situation behind the scenes, although he occasionally stayed in Hong Kong for a day or two, he ran all over the world, and the leisure time he hid in Hong Kong like he used to recuperate for several months was gone. This time he returned to his old lair, of course he had to fight those financial speculators, but after so long preparations, he was confidently shouting: "This is your cemetery, let me dig the pit for you first!"
If he wanted to counterattack, he naturally had to discuss the preparations before the war with the dog-headed master Qian Yiming. Since he knew it was a disaster, Yang Xing had prepared a hunting rifle to welcome the jackals early. Before this year's Spring Festival, he and Robertson were in Japan. It looked very warm on the surface. At that time, he asked Robertson, who would the next target after South Korea and Japan succeed? Robertson was vague and ruling, and he knew that they had not given up on Hong Kong.
After the Hong Kong government established three major sovereign funds, he warned Robertson and Soros for the last time that the number of private funds in Hong Kong that Yang Xing participated in had increased to ten, and negotiations between the Hong Kong government and several major families in Hong Kong were also underway. Yang Xing persuaded them to stand on the side of the Hong Kong SAR government and help. Yang Xing almost made a clear stand and hoped that they would stand on his side. Even if it didn't work, he told them that the SAR government had US$88 billion and the central government behind them had more than US$300 billion in foreign exchange reserves, so that they could retreat, but of course they would part.
At this time, Yang Xing was taking stock of the gains of this financial crisis, the merger and acquisition of Shanyi Securities, the joint venture of Guangdong Guotou's debt-free enterprise, and many high-tech companies purchased in the United States, all of which cost a lot. Over the past year, he invested more than 3 billion US dollars in the monetary battlefield, and more than three times the profit. In addition, the tens of billions of domestic financing obtained for the acquisition, and the 12 billion US dollars of investment priority obtained by the Chinese in Indonesia. In more than a year, his business empire has changed from several shell companies to a large company with assets of over 10 billion US dollars, becoming one of the world's multinational companies.
As a blessed land where he made his fortune, although he was not the main force in this Hong Kong dollar defense battle, Yang Xing was still ready to do his best to squeeze out some funds and provide advice to assist the SAR government in the battle. This time he raised about US$1 billion to establish a fund. Although it is not as large as the size of the three sovereign funds of the Hong Kong government, "Lion Mountain", "Taiping Mountain" and "Lantau" of the Hong Kong government, he has the opportunity to slaughter his former comrades Robertson and Soros, and they will never be too soft.
The two discussed in Yang Xing's Tianbigao mansion, and they both felt that it was not very meaningful to follow the three major funds and fight Soros and the others head-on. It would be better to find a way to surround Wei and save Zhao, and go around the foundation of Soros and the others in Eastern Europe to attack them and relieve the pressure here in Hong Kong. "Mr. Yang's vision is indeed extraordinary. He actually guessed at the beginning of the year that the financial storm would expand Eastern Europe, which made me pay attention to the local situation early. Now our layout there is indeed Bu Miaoqi, and I am impressed!" Qian Yiming said with conscience.
