Chapter 534 Making a Fortune Together

  It was different from the proposals currently circulating outside.

  According to Su Yehao's idea, it was equivalent to developing office buildings independently, bearing one's own profits and losses to build a digital port park.

  Everyone present was astute and understood the general idea as soon as they heard him speak.

  So someone couldn't wait to ask:

  "What's the specific plan? If we spend money to acquire land and then pour money into building the buildings, but in the end we can only lower the prices to rent to those high-tech companies, wouldn't that be a big loss?"

  "Yes, Young Master Su, maybe you don't have experience in real estate development, but your father must. Even if you ask him, he'll tell you it's not cost-effective. It's better to deposit the money in the bank and earn interest. Everyone invests in development, hoping to sell the property or earn rent."

  "That's right. It sounds less cost-effective than the Li family's proposal. Who cares about the digital port itself? We're after the residential land, plenty of houses!"

  Everyone chimed in.

  Conversations in Hong Kong City were already boisterous, making it sound almost like an argument.

  Actually, with Su Yehao's assets, he believed that spending money to build a digital port much smaller than the Cyberport plan would not be a major problem. A hundred or two billion Hong Kong dollars, with some help from the bank, investing in batches over three to five years, wouldn't be too stressful.

  According to his plan.

  What he was eyeing was not only the office buildings, shopping malls, and hotels of the digital port itself, but more importantly, the bargaining power when negotiating with the higher-ups, as well as the ability to influence a small group of Asian high-tech startups and capital from various places.

  Compared to the potential benefits in the high-tech field, the residential part was not important.

  However, to successfully win this project, he had to rely on the help of everyone present. Otherwise, even if Su Yehao's plan was more time-saving and convenient, the Li family's chances of winning were still higher.

  But if these real estate companies worked together and showed the higher-ups more benefits, everyone could cooperate and win together.

  Then, Su Yehao's chances of winning would be much greater...

  At this moment.

  Standing up and waving his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, Su Yehao said with a smile:

  "Don't be anxious. I might not be willing to let go of the shares in the digital port. When we build an Asian Silicon Valley, as the largest landlord, we'll be the first to benefit. I can choose venture capital and private equity investment opportunities at will. The office buildings and shops themselves can also appreciate in value. Where else can you find such a profitable opportunity?"

  "The reason I proposed this new project is because I discovered a treasure trove in Victoria Harbour."

  "Besides the digital port that I plan to invest in, the remaining land is enough for each of you to get a piece. If everyone joins hands to acquire the land, it will definitely revitalize it quickly and become a popular new district, and everyone will make money."

  "Everyone knows how difficult it is to get the higher-ups to release land, but this time it's different. The chances of success are very high. Due to the short time, I personally drew a sketch..."

  After speaking.

  Su Yehao took out a folded...A4 paper from his pocket.

  It was really small.

  He opened it and handed it to Linda Yun, asking her to show it to everyone.

  Immediately, an old man pointed at the paper and asked in surprise, "Isn't this just the old Kai Tak Airport in Kowloon?"

  "That's right! This must be Kai Tak Airport. I can see it every day from my office. I can't be wrong!"

  Su Yehao continued to stand and nodded with a smile:

  "It is indeed Kai Tak Airport. I've taken a fancy to the runway, which is more than three thousand meters long. It's like a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides."

  "If we build a yacht marina and provide passenger transport services, it will be very convenient to go to Central or Tsim Sha Tsui. The night view is incredibly good, and the land is flat, without oil pollution from the apron. After simple development, we can build high-end residential buildings or villas."

  "According to my vision, there will be parks, schools, and it won't be too far from the subway station. Because the surrounding area is brand new, the living experience will be particularly good."

  "The digital port project already includes shopping malls, so there is no need to worry about living facilities. It will also provide certain job opportunities. Whether it's transportation, environment, or location, it is suitable for building high-end residential projects."

  "Uncles, you might as well consider whether to take this opportunity to join hands with me and get the higher-ups to release this runway land at once. It is a typical example of waste utilization and is very much in line with urban planning concepts. If we jointly submit a new proposal, wouldn't it be much better than the Li family's proposal, easier to get people's support, and the higher-ups can earn more money from land sales."

  "Most importantly, the Li family cooperates with the higher-ups and monopolizes all the benefits. But according to my proposal, everyone has land to take and money to earn..."

  He still remembered how Father Su was hesitant back then... Su Yehao also persuaded him to develop in the mainland, and then there was the Shenzhen Sihai International Cultural Tourism City.

  Su Yehao's eloquence wasn't great, far behind Jack Ma.

  However, he didn't need people to admire him. He just needed to present this new alternative to the Li family's proposal in front of everyone and let them decide for themselves whether it was profitable enough.

  The land on both sides of Victoria Harbour was selling less and less, and some people had already moved to Tai Po and Yuen Long. The entire Kai Tak Airport covered more than two square kilometers, and it was relatively close to everywhere. It was really a treasure land that had been almost forgotten.

  If Su Yehao hadn't mentioned it, the few people present would never have thought that it could be done this way.

  After the old man surnamed Song closed his eyes and imagined, he felt that as long as the development was high-end, the houses there should not be difficult to sell. Therefore, he said:

  "After listening to Young Master Su, it seems a bit interesting. With the digital port plan, everyone joins hands to acquire the land, the price should be relatively cheap. Moreover, the airport is already abandoned. Besides roads, greening, docks, parks, etc., as long as we are willing to buy, the higher-ups will make a pure profit, and they can use the money to subsidize the new airport on Lantau Island."

  "More than three thousand acres of land, that's really a large piece. It's a ten-minute boat ride to the Central Pier, not bad."

  "I need to study it further, but there is no shortage of houses on the market now. The buildings built in previous years have not been sold out yet. According to Young Master Su's idea, the digital port and the dock will already be built by then, wouldn't that be a bit embarrassing? It's like benefiting from your efforts."

  Su Yehao waved his hand with a smile upon hearing this:

  "Not at all. I don't like to eat alone. I prefer cooperation and win-win situations, and everyone gets rich together. There is also an alternative plan, which is to jointly establish a new company. After taking over the entire Kai Tak Airport, we will occupy the corresponding shares according to the proportion of investment and share the profits in the future. I believe you have heard of my father's cultural tourism city projects in Shenzhen and Guangzhou. If we jointly operate with the higher-ups through public-private partnership, the cost of acquiring land will be greatly reduced."

  As soon as these words came out, more people became interested.

  After the food was served, everyone ate and discussed. To Su Yehao's surprise, compared to fighting alone and acquiring land separately, there were significantly more voices discussing jointly establishing a company and having the higher-ups contribute land for joint investment...
