The land where the recreation building is located is the "land king" of 1970, with an area of 53000 square feet. In June of that year, it attracted 18 consortia to bid at a reserve price of HK $53 million. As a result, it was won by Jardine's land company at a high price of HK $258 million. It was angry that the American consortium originally determined to win was scolded and the auction process was tricky, The auction hammer fell too fast.

Despite this criticism, the land company has not lost its chain of work, and has planned the first skyscraper in Xiangjiang with a height of 52 floors and the Kangle building, the tallest building in Asia.

The whole construction process also set a historical record. From October 1971 to April 1973, a grand "flat top" ceremony was held, which lasted only one and a half years.

Including the land price, the land company has invested a total of about HK $400 million in the recreation building and obtained more than 690000 square feet of space for office buildings and shopping malls.

The first skyscraper, the tallest building in Asia, the beautiful scenery of the whole Victoria Harbor, and the quality assurance of the gold lettered signboard of Xiangjiang first consortium

The recreation building, which brings together countless unique advantages, is indeed, as Ma Yongda said, a first-class office, which has attracted many companies. Even Ma Jingxi's Xiangjiang securities and Xiangjiang finance can't avoid renting offices and are ready to move there.

Of course, corresponding to the first card of Xiangjiang, the rent of Kangle building must be expensive.

At this stage, the average monthly rent of office buildings in Xiangjiang is nearly $5 per square foot, while the monthly rent of new grade A office buildings in central like recreation building can reach more than $7 per square foot.

Indeed, the current decline of Xiangjiang stock market is only one breath, and the real estate industry has been dragged down to enter the downward cycle, and then catch up with the impact of the global oil crisis, as if the end of the world had come.

However, the whole social and economic system is large, and the above-mentioned areas in trouble are only one aspect.

Thanks to the cancellation of foreign exchange control and gold control by the Hong Kong government, Xiangjiang has attracted investors from all over the world to rush for gold, and the demand for office buildings is strong.

To be honest, Gao Xian was so envious when he looked at the prosperous rental event of Kangle building that he decided to start building something on the land of the milk company.

Seeing Gao Xian will certainly not let Gao Yi go to Kangle building. Ma Yongda was not surprised at all. He just said, "when you move, those baby computers that process data have to follow in the past. You arrange several technical experts to help. Don't make any mistakes. My father pays attention to it."

Gao Xian waved with disapproval, "this little thing is worth talking about in front of me. Just call the technical department of happy group."

"It's always right to tell you," Ma Yongda said with a smile. "By the way, the recreation building is so attractive that the Chinese line is almost empty. Don't you feel lonely staying here alone?"

"I just said that it would be better to move out and give Gao Yiteng a place." Gao Xian knocked on the table with his finger. "The position of the Chinese line is still OK. After all, it is also in central. I decided to buy its ownership, operate it well, dismantle and rebuild a more modern building."

The Chinese bank has been established for a long time. Its history is almost half a century now. It is said that its original intention was to solve the dilemma that Chinese businessmen who wanted to join the world of foreign banks in Central Hong Kong Island could not find a foothold in Central Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, the tenants of the Chinese bank are all Chinese businessmen.

For example, Bao Yugang, the famous "ship king", was a small trading company that had operated here with friends for some time.

Today, Chinese travel has become very old, especially in terms of building layout and various supporting facilities, which have gradually fallen behind and can not meet the needs of modern office.

When the Far East Exchange felt that the office space was narrow and moved away from the second floor of the Chinese bank, the popularity of the Chinese bank obviously dropped.

In addition, the stock market disaster in Xiangjiang later killed a number of companies and the recruitment of bees and butterflies in the recreation building. The number of Companies in Chinese banks has decreased rapidly, which really reveals a sense of desolation.

All this is a waste for central, which has an inch of land and an inch of gold.

Seeing this, the high string naturally had the idea of buying and rebuilding.

Seeing Gao Xian's posture of "I'd like you to move away quickly", Ma Yongda nodded depressed. "It's really a big hand to buy Shengli beer, buy the Chinese bank, dismantle and rebuild. You, the king of Xiangjiang oil, are really rich."

Gao Xian said leisurely, "there is oil at home. It's so confident!"

While they were joking, Ma Qiwen, Ma Yongda's younger sister, came in and said, "brother Gao Xian, you are so prosperous here. Please arrange an internship for me."

Gao Xian was amused. "Qiwen, your company is also prosperous. It's not a piece of cake to arrange an internship for you. Why go to your brother for a salary?"

Ma Qiwen complained: "my father arranged work for my eldest brother and second brother early, but I can't do it when it's my turn. It's nonsense. Wait until I graduate from college this year."

Ma Yongda complained endlessly: "little sister, you really don't know your happiness. You don't see that Yongfa and I have been assigned to the most grass-roots position in the company by my father. It's hard."

"Be obedient, little sister, stop it. When you graduate in the second half of the year, tell your father to arrange a relaxed post for you."

Ma Qiwen said discontentedly, "brother Gao Xian, have you seen that my father and brother still treat me as a child, but many of my classmates have found internships in the winter vacation. If I'm still so idle, I'll lose face."

Ma Yongda reluctantly said to Gao Xian, "brother Xian, ignore this little girl. My father and mother are annoyed by her."

"What's wrong with me accumulating social experience earlier?" Ma Qiwen snorted, then shook Gao Xian's arm and begged: "brother Gao Xian, please help me."

Gao Xian was shaken for a while. "Then, Qiwen, what post do you want to do?"

Ma Qiwen proudly raised her chin, "it's OK. Brother Gao Xian treats me equally with other employees."

Gao Xian couldn't help being embarrassed for a while. He said in his heart that the noble Ma family's daughter and the delicate beauty can't really be arranged to grass-roots posts.

After thinking for a while, Gao Xian nodded and said, "well, Qiwen, since you want an internship so much, go to my assistant team and stay for a while."

"Just in time, although your company moved to Kangle building, the cooperative relationship between us will not be affected. Just give play to your expertise and coordinate in the middle."

"Make a statement in advance. Your salary can only be the standard of internship. If you feel unacceptable, listen to your brother and play with your girlfriends."

Ma Qiwen clapped her hands and said with a smile, "of course I can accept it. I can work next to brother Gao Xian. I have to let my little sisters envy me to death."

Ma Yongda rolled his eyes. "Brother Xian, can you tell from the little girl's tone? Your idol group has included all the ladies."

Gao Xian smiled lightly, "brother is just a legend, and the famous grass has a master."

Ma Qiwen asked curiously, "brother Gao Xian, shouldn't you get married last year? Why hasn't there been any news now? Did you get married quietly?"

Gao Xian said, "little girl, you also inquire about the boss's private affairs. Do you want this internship?"

Ma Qiwen stuck out her tongue. "Mr. Gao Xian, JP, I'll report to you now. Please indicate what I should do?"

"It's just like what an intern should have, trembling and diligent." Gao Xian nodded and solemnly ordered: "this year, my overseas mission is a little heavy. Go and comb my schedule and improve efficiency as much as possible."

……

The work instructions given by Gao Xian to Ma Qiwen are not to deal with the daughter of the Ma family who has just grown up. In fact, he is really busy becoming a "flying man" this year.

In terms of securities business, like its peers, since there is no market for local stocks in Xiangjiang, Gaoyi takes the stocks of other stock exchanges around the world as the target.

Unlike peers who focus on London stocks, Gaoxian's trading range also includes the United States, yiben and other places.

Because of its historical origin, Xiangjiang and London have very close and convenient exchanges, including the purchase and sale of stocks; However, after changing to the United States, yiben and other places, we can't get around the threshold. We must cooperate with local securities firms to achieve our goal.

In this way, Gao Xian's visit to the local area is inevitable.

In terms of gold investment, although Xiangjiang's pace of canceling gold control is faster than that of developed economies such as the United States and Ben, which is full of attraction to global investors, Jiuxiang is also afraid of deep alleys. Hu Hanhui, chairman of the gold and silver exchange, has made plans to publicize and promote Xiangjiang gold market all over the world.

As a director of the gold and silver exchange, Gao Xian is also inevitably arranged to visit.

As for foreign exchange, it is even more unpredictable. It is more and more necessary to understand the current situation of the world's major economies.

In terms of industry, Gao Xian is preparing to invest in the construction of hotels in Canada, the United States and even the Middle East, which is also inseparable from dealing with the local people in person.

Taking too many planes is definitely a hard job. Gao Xian asked Ma Qiwen to help plan her trip. In fact, it's very exercise.

Seeing that the Chinese bank was ignored in the office market, Gao Xianzhen ordered the Department to talk about the acquisition. However, just like the acquisition of Shengli beer, the work was too difficult. After he ordered, he would not pay attention from time to time.

Gao Xian was not idle. He personally participated in the formulation of detailed plans for the development of the land of the milk company.

At the meeting of the Executive Council of the Zhengfu government, Gao Xian said this with great sounding, "you must remember that in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the global economy fell into the great depression, and Rockefeller began to build a large-scale Rockefeller building in New York in order to drive economic development."

"It is undeniable that this move just hit the" investment "element of the chicken fart growth Troika - investment, consumption and export."

"History can always provide some reference more or less. The world economy hit hard by the global energy crisis, like the 'great depression' decades ago, needs stimulus from the chicken fart growth Troika."

"In Xiangjiang, the construction plans such as public housing and subway promoted by Zhengfu have laid a solid foundation for the growth of chicken fart."

"In response to the call of Zhengfu, happy group decided to spend HK $700 million on the development of some sites in Causeway Bay for 10 years, and the first phase is a 40 storey building costing nearly HK $100 million."

Gao Xian said a lot. In addition to expressing his merit, he was also suggesting that the Hong Kong government should take care of it as much as possible in the process of going through the formalities for approval.

However, Gao Xian's words made many other members present at the meeting look different, and even subconsciously turned their eyes to new Bijian, Jardine class.

Because Jardine has long seen the prospect of office rental income, and its land company has just announced a ten-year "reconstruction of central" with an investment of up to HK $600 million.

As the name suggests, the "reconstruction of central" is to demolish the old buildings in the huge property of the land company in central and rebuild them into new buildings that can be developed into the air, so as to provide more rentable area and obtain greater benefits.

Now, Gao Xian has announced his 10-year Causeway Bay construction plan, which seems to compete with the land company.

By comparing the two phases, it is not difficult to find the interesting tit for tat.

It is true that the land owned by the land company in central is the most valuable land in Hong Kong, but Causeway Bay is developing into the second city center of Xiangjiang.

In terms of land area, Gao Xian controlled a large area of land in Causeway Bay through the original old milk company, far exceeding the land owned by the land company in central.

In terms of the funds used, the land company is HK $600 million, while Gao Xian said HK $700 million.

Many members can't help but sigh in secret that Gao Xian is really rich now.

Originally, only the first Xiangjiang consortium such as Jardine can afford such a hand, but now it is obvious that it can't continue to enjoy this honor.

Of course, governor MacLehose's vision should not be limited to the competition between land and Gaoxian in the business world.

He said happily, "I will carefully study the causeway bay construction plan of Mr. Gao Xian. I believe it has great positive significance, and the relevant examination and approval departments of the government will seriously cooperate."

"By the way, if Mr. Gao Xian has any other suggestions to promote the economic development of Xiangjiang, please continue to speak freely."

Gao Xian nodded and said with a smile, "another point I mentioned is the proposal to suspend the collection of entertainment tax."
