Chapter 545 Unexpected, Yet Inevitable

Chapter 207 Signed That Night

The night the Qide Cyberport project was signed.

Su's father came to Hong Kong City, and the family of three agreed to have dinner at the Fook Lam Moon restaurant.

After Madam Tang took her seat, she asked curiously:

"Is it just the three of us? Where's your girlfriend, son? Why didn't you call them over too?"

"...Them?"

"With your skills, who can you fool? I heard your maternal grandpa mention Jiang Yu a long time ago."

As soon as his mother finished speaking, Su's father also happily said: "Yes, Master Jiang also complained to me when we were playing cards, saying that girls can't be kept at home when they grow up, and we might become in-laws in the future. But both Jiang Yu and Nangong are pretty good. Their families are clean and they have good tempers."

"..."

Su Yehao was speechless.

After signing the contract this morning, he had lunch with his partners and talked freely, drinking a lot of wine during the meal. He went home and slept all afternoon, and his head was still a little dizzy.

He wasn't used to talking about these things with his parents, so he awkwardly said:

"They have something to do tonight. They went to review the script. They bought a manga from Japan and hired a screenwriter to adapt the first six episodes. If they both came, they would feel like they were sitting on pins and needles, since the relationship is a little different."

Madam Tang teased: "So you know that? You don't learn the good things, but you learn from your father, being fickle. Don't expect me to help you when the family becomes a mess."

Su's father said with an awkward smile:

"Our son is much more capable than me. Sure enough, the student surpasses the teacher. If I had this ability back then, I wouldn't have lived my life like this. I regret it."

"Heh, hypocritical..."

Ignoring Su's father's words, Su Yehao's mother continued to ask:

"Xiao Hao, a lot of people came to ask me today if the Qide Airport contract has been signed. The total investment is more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars. Is there any burden on your side? You said you were still discussing it before, but suddenly you announced the signing. Is there a problem here? Did the Li family give up so easily?"

Su's father interjected: "What easily? Obviously, the higher-ups and the Li family were stunned by our son's big move. Spending more than 20 billion just to acquire the land is such an exaggerated amount. I've never even heard of it before. Even developing the IFC didn't involve that much investment."

Eating squid tentacles, Su Yehao told them:

"It's unexpected but reasonable. My plan is really good, and the higher-ups are also waiting for the rice to cook, so we quickly reached an agreement a few days ago. Actually, the specific design and planning方案is still being worked on. I hired the WinWin architectural design team. If it turns out that the foundation's load-bearing capacity is fine, the planned floor area can be increased appropriately. We'll just pay for the land then..."

The specific negotiations were mainly handled by Zheng Yongwen. Su Yehao also participated personally this time, meeting with many real estate developers and bank representatives.

After review, the Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank of Japan decided to lend 5 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The Bank of China finally approved 7 billion Hong Kong dollars for him. In addition, the Industrial and Commercial Bank, Agricultural Bank, and Construction Bank together contributed 4 billion Hong Kong dollars. In other words, all four major banks participated this time, contributing a total of 11 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The remaining shares were divided among several Hong Kong-funded and American-funded banks.

The collateral used for the loan included the shares of the newly established Green Diamond Group, which was equivalent to borrowing money by mortgaging the land. In addition, Su Yehao also provided a guarantee with more than 3 billion US dollars in his wealth management account.

As for the shares of Yanwenzi Group, since the company was already listed, major shareholders needed to disclose any pledge of loans. In order to avoid any unexpected problems, Su Yehao simply didn't use it.

The entire preparation period was only half a month, which was obviously extremely efficient for such a large project as the Qide Cyberport.

Now that the contract has been signed and the funding problem has been more or less resolved, all that's left is to actually transfer the land purchase money to the official account, and then slowly develop it in the future.

Considering the scale of the project, the development period was extended to a full ten years, so there's no need to rush.

During the meal.

His parents marveled at the speed of his business expansion. Su's father had been in the construction and building materials business for more than ten years before he dared to diversify and extend his reach into the real estate sector.

Su Yehao, on the other hand, had previously acquired a few pieces of land and bought two buildings, and now he had suddenly created a proper land king.

The entire project covers a total area of more than 1,700 mu, and it can also be built into a low-density, high-end complex. It should be noted that the land on both sides of Victoria Harbour is already narrow, so buildings are always built high, and "pigeon cages" are everywhere.

The runway of Qide Airport is a bit special. Since it is artificial land reclamation, it has a certain natural advantage due to the limited foundation bearing capacity, forcing the higher-ups to avoid being too calculating and planning it according to normal land.

With the vision of Su's father and Madam Tang, they could of course imagine that it would be quite comfortable to live there after the development is completed, and there would be an opportunity to sell the price at a higher price.

Seeing his son invest more than 20 billion, Su's father was also relieved a lot.

After all, valuable internet companies often don't make much money, and from the perspective of value investing, their stock prices seem overvalued.

Now that such a huge amount of money is placed in the real estate industry, the couple felt that Su Yehao would be more restrained in the future, avoiding the quick come, quick go nature of money.

Taking advantage of his own father's presence.

Su Yehao stared at his father, his eyes bright, and asked him: "Are you busy lately? When the design is finished, the office buildings, shopping malls, hotels, and wharfs of the Cyberport will start construction first, and infrastructure projects will also be put out for tender. I don't have any experience in these areas, so I might need to ask you for help."

Hearing this, Su's father hurriedly said:

"It's okay to help you keep an eye on things, but don't expect me to order me around without any respect. You have so many real estate developers cooperating with you, are you afraid of not finding someone to help you? My phone has been ringing off the hook these days, everyone wants to take on some orders. There will be too many annoying things in the future."

After hearing these words.

A mother's heart aches for her son, and Madam Tang's tone was dissatisfied, backing him up:

"Xiao Hao has come this far on his own. What help have you, as a father, provided? You push back on even the smallest things. How could I have taken a liking to you back then? You're really too unreliable."

"..."

Su Yehao really wanted to give a thumbs up, but he was afraid of provoking his father, who was hoping to reconcile with his mother. He told them with a wry smile:

"It's okay, the projects in the mainland are also very busy. Just find me a few reliable managers. Qide Airport is so close to home, I'll just treat it like a game and slowly manage and develop it. I'm accumulating some experience now, so I can plan for bigger business in the future."

"That's my son, he's just more ambitious than others. Come on, let's have a drink, you two!"

No matter how successful he is.

When he meets his son's mother, Su's father still becomes a coward in a second, changing the subject to avoid her sharpness, and talking about the experience and key points of the subsequent development work, such as keeping the money firmly in hand, and selecting building materials suppliers, etc.

Su Yehao had also been a supervisor in his previous life, but he had never led the development of an entire large project, so he listened with great interest...

Tonight, the little girl took Jiang Yu to have a Western meal with Stephen Chow again, to discuss the preparation of the script.

A few days ago.

Su Yehao suggested that he wanted to shoot a kung fu movie with an exaggerated plot. On this basis, Stephen Chow went back and thought about it carefully, and changed the background outline of the story.

After eating with his parents and returning home, this outline was handed to him by the little girl. Su Yehao opened it and was shocked.

Unlike the kung fu he suggested, after Stephen Chow's own adaptation, it was changed to an ancient background Xianxia (fantasy) drama.

Similar to A Chinese Odyssey, but more down-to-earth.

In the script outline.

It describes a story about a small soldier who is forced to join the army, but when he escapes back, he finds that his childhood sweetheart has been favored by a fairy and goes up the mountain to cultivate.

So he also sneaks up the mountain as a servant and is taught cultivation methods. During this period, he always thought that he had practiced incorrectly, but in the end, his talent exploded, he defeated the villain, opened the demon cave with his sword, and welcomed back the reincarnation of his beloved's soul, silently guarding her as a housekeeper.

The same routine.

A small character's start, a comedy's skin, a tragedy's core.

After reading it, Su Yehao first wondered if this script would be popular.

Thinking about it again, he felt that he was already tired of Kung Fu. Even if he filmed it again without changing a single thing, what would be the point?

It's better to take a gamble and let Stephen Chow play freely and shoot something fresh...
