At this stage, the property territory controlled by the Koch consortium in central, Hong Kong Island is roughly like this.

Starting from the Xinhua behavior of Gaoyi headquarters at the junction of Queen's road and Pedder street, walking east along Queen's Road Central and across Pedder street, is the landmark complex in the heart of central business district, including the landmark atrium with global famous brands and three office buildings of Gloucester building, Duke building and York building.

To the north of land Plaza, that is, in the direction of Victoria Bay, Lishan building, Prince's building and Chater building are distributed along des Voeux Road Central and Chater road. They are also commercial buildings under land.

It is worth mentioning that the snow Factory Street in the east of Lishan building, that is, the road named after the milk company's ice factory, goes south to the junction with DES Voeux Road Central, that is, No. 9 Queen's Road Central. After a series of low-key negotiations and transactions between Gaoyi and many owners, including land acquisition, Fu laorong family and Hengchang enterprise, the total land consolidation area exceeds 50000 square feet, Enough to meet the needs of rebuilding a modern office building.

To the East, it is adjacent to Standard Chartered Bank building, Huifeng bank building and Bank of China Building under construction. Obviously, the purpose of No. 9 Queen's Road Central is imminent, that is, as the location of the headquarters building of Koch Bank Group in the future, it will become a member of Xiangjiang bank street.

At the north end of Xuechang street, at the junction with Connaught Road Central, is Mandarin Oriental Hotel, one of the flagship stores of Koch hotel group; Across from Connaught Road Central is the happy building where the headquarters of happy group is located, that is, the recreation building originally belonging to land, which became the tallest skyscraper in Xiangjiang in the 1970s.

The happy building is surrounded by the Recreation Square on three sides, and to the west is the new central Diwang, which is currently blessed by various auras.

In Gao Xian's view, Xiangjiang's urban development planning is inevitable in some choices.

For example, in the face of huge throughput, Kai Tak Airport has been overwhelmed; The available land in central is almost exhausted

Under such circumstances, it is only a matter of time before operations such as the construction of the new airport and land reclamation are carried out. There will be more valuable land to the West and north of the new central Diwang.

By then, Xiangjiang exchange fund administration should have full wings and need its own headquarters building. It will build an international financial center building there.

With such a blueprint in mind, Gao Xian certainly doesn't want the new central Diwang to just become a commercial building. He wants to give it a more important attribute, that is, the international trading center of Xiangjiang securities and futures industry and the international financial center of the future Xiangjiang Exchange Fund headquarters building.

In addition to relying on scarce resources, the value-added of real estate can not be achieved without overall planning.

One of the negative examples is the famous work of Li Bancheng, the global building, which is also located in the heart of the central business district.

Thanks to the dividends brought by the subway, the land of the global building became the king of Xiangjiang in 1977.

Seeing that the subway company was in urgent need of cash, Li Bancheng gave the most attractive conditions and beat the land owned by Jardine's at that time.

In order to recover the funds as quickly as possible, Li Bancheng sold the global building in layers. As a result, all the buildings were sold out within eight hours, with a total transaction volume of nearly HK $600 million, another record of that year.

But because of this, the ownership of the global building is scattered and cannot be planned as a whole. Obviously, the mall is located in the core of the prime location, but it has become a concentration of shops serving Filipino maids, which is very different from the grand gathering of global famous brands in the opposite land Plaza.

Some owners of the global building, even if they know they have a better chance to make money, have nothing to do, much like some situations in politics.

The global building is not the worst result. The Chongqing building in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, is even more smoky.

Therefore, Gao Xian attaches great importance to overall planning. When necessary, he doesn't hesitate to urge him personally.

Xiangjiang futures exchange was founded by Sir Gao. Naturally, it moved to Xiangjiang international trading center, adopted the latest computer information system provided by happy technology, and took Xiangjiang international trading center as its permanent headquarters. There is no problem.

However, there are always some small opinions about the arrangement of making Xiangjiang international trading center the permanent headquarters, which need to be discussed.

In fact, this more or less reflects some characteristics of Xiangjiang stock exchange in this period.

Since the Hong Kong government urgently promulgated the Stock Exchange Control Ordinance in 1973, which stipulates that the establishment of any exchange requires the approval of the financial secretary or the governor of Hong Kong, reducing the number of stock exchanges in Xiangjiang to four, the topic of "merger of the four associations" of Xiangjiang stock exchange, far East stock exchange, gold and silver stock exchange and Kowloon Stock Exchange has begun.

Unfortunately, over the past decade or so, the progress has been extremely slow, and the most controversial issue is the membership of the exchange.

As Xiangjiang's return approached, the mentality of the ghost guy changed subtly. After entering the 1980s, the dispute over membership became less irreconcilable. Finally, in the summer of 1980, the four exchanges sent two representatives as sponsors, and the Xiangjiang stock exchange was announced to be established.

In 1981, when the stock market turned from prosperity to decline, it was not so hot, and everyone was not so busy, so they sat together in October and held a general meeting to elect the first committee of the Xiangjiang stock exchange, including Gao Xian and Ye Li, who represented the interests of the high interest.

Before preparing to become president of the Xiangjiang exchange fund authority, Gao Xian transferred this committee seat to Ma Shiheng, CEO of the Xiangjiang futures exchange.

Since the establishment of the first committee of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 1981, the main action of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has been to change from four to two, that is, the merger of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the gold and silver stock exchange, the merger of the Far East stock exchange and the Kowloon stock exchange, and finally from two to one.

This process is simple to say, but it can take so many years for factions and intrigues.

Gao Xian was certainly impatient with this, but he could also understand some of the reasons for the great earthquake of the leadership of the Xiangjiang stock exchange after the "Black Monday" in 1987 in the "old script", so he was alert in advance.

In fact, Gao Xian's interest appeal to Xiangjiang stock exchange is very simple. It comes down to three points. First, don't delay Gao Yi's capital operation; Second, take Xiangjiang international trading center as the permanent headquarters to help Gao's real estate Kingdom add value; Third, adopt the computer information system of happy technology.

When Xiangjiang stock exchange completes the final step of the merger of the four associations, it needs a trading hall enough to accommodate all members, plus various offices. Looking at central, at present, only Xiangjiang international trading center can meet it.

Therefore, Xiangjiang stock exchange is pleased to move to Xiangjiang international trading center.

However, there are many people. Some people in Xiangjiang stock exchange feel that the rent offered by land is too expensive. If Xiangjiang stock exchange takes Xiangjiang international trading center as its permanent headquarters, it needs to be discussed again.

At the same time, there are many disputes about the extent to which the computer information system of happy technology is used in the operation of Xiangjiang stock exchange. In particular, there are doubts about the "electronic matching" of stock trading.

In short, there is some wrangling.
