Hsu Shengzhe said he didn't want the bonds, but it was empty talk.
Li Dong would be stupid to return the 500 million to him. Anyway, he still had more than two years. It would be a waste not to use it.
After joking for a while, Li Dong returned to the topic. "Are you in trouble now?"
"Phew!"
Hsu Shengzhe exhaled and shook his head. "Not yet. But you guessed it. The bank has started to tighten the money supply. Now it is difficult to get loans. But Longhua doesn't have much cash flow. We must continue to invest in the new city. Otherwise, the initial investment will be wasted. "
He and Li Dong didn't lie. Longhua's situation couldn't be hidden from Li Dong.
Hearing this, Li Dong took a sip of coffee and said slowly. "Then why are you looking for me?"
"To borrow money."
"You know the possibility is almost zero."
Li Dong shook his head. "Let's not talk about the fact that I don't have money. Even if I have money, I won't lend it to you. So far away is expanding everywhere. The money from selling the land is almost spent. I don't have the money to lend you. In my opinion, while the real estate market is still hot, you should sell some of the land you have hoarded. The financial pressure will be relieved. "
In the past two years, Longhua had hoarded a lot of good land. If they really sold it, it would be worth more than Dongyu.
But Hsu Shengzhe obviously didn't want to do this. He shook his head. "I don't want to do this. It is not the time yet. And I am optimistic about the real estate market. The country will not let it go on. Although the sub-prime crisis affected the European and American markets, it did not affect the domestic market. Even Hong Kong, which is in line with international standards, was not affected, let alone the mainland. Now it is just a temporary panic. Even if we regulate it, it will not last long. The real estate market will be hot in one or two years. I don't want to give up now. "
Li Dong sometimes admired this guy. His eyes were as sharp as ever.
Although he admired him, Li Dong wouldn't help him just because of this. He shook his head. "I really don't have money. I can understand that you want me to help you get through the current difficulties. But Far away, you should know what the situation is like. Sichuan Airlines, Beijing-Tianjin, and Far away Logistics Park had consumed a large amount of money Far away. In addition, the logistics are also expanding, and the shopping mall is still burning money. I don't have much money on hand right now … "
"I know!"
Hsu Shengzhe interrupted, "But Far away, you still have a large amount of reserves and pledge money. This is not a small amount, and you haven't used it yet. According to my calculations, it should be at least 3 billion! You have so much money, yet you keep it in your hands and don't spend it. Are you just going to eat interest? Lend it to me for emergencies. I can use the land as collateral and pay the interest. Li Dong, don't turn your back on me. I was the one who helped you when you were in danger. Now that I've met with a little trouble, you're talking nonsense with me. Don't you feel embarrassed? "
"Of course."
Li Dong didn't blush at all. He smiled and said, "You want me to use the reserves and money to help you? You're quite daring. Do you know what the consequences will be if news of this gets out? "
"Distance Marketing has been expanding rapidly to begin with, and our partners are all feeling diffident. But Far away has been showing off its wealth, and everyone is finally relieved. Now you want me to lend you the money. What if you can't return it in the future? Let's not talk about the land. If something happens, it's hard to say if the land can't be sold. Longhua is not finished yet. Don't drag me down with you. "
Hsu Shengzhe said angrily, "I won't borrow too much. 1 billion. 10% of it will be enough for the new city! Once the new city is put into use, Longhua will immediately have a large amount of funds. No matter how the government adjusts, we will definitely make money in the new city. We have invested more than 5 billion in the new city. As long as we get back the money, we will at least break even. With so many properties here, do you think I will lie to you? "
"No."
"Li Dong, you're an ingrate! How can you face me? Why don't you think about how I helped you in the past? Now that you're rich, you've forgotten about our friendship … "
Hsu Shengzhe scolded for a long time, but Li Dong continued to drink his coffee leisurely.
After a while, Li Dong laughed and said, "Alright, don't bother with these useless things. I know you still have a trump card. Tell me, and I might agree. "
Hsu Shengzhe regained his composure. He knew this guy was not so easy to fool.
If he could use their friendship to get 1 billion, he would not be Li Dong.
Now, Hsu Shengzhe was regretting. If he had known this would happen, he would not have bought Far away's bonds. This bastard had gotten over the hump.
Too lazy to think about this, Hsu Shengzhe said helplessly, "I'll mortgage Longhua Square to you. Is that okay?"
Li Dong had been eyeing Longhua Square for a long time. As the largest shopping mall in Pingchuan, Longhua Square was famous.
Li Dong had suggested several times to exchange his properties for Longhua Square.
But Hsu Shengzhe did not agree. This was a golden goose that laid golden eggs, and they would not exchange it.
But now, Hsu Shengzhe did not want to sell the land, and he wanted money. So, he could only mortgage Longhua Square first.
Li Dong paused for a while, then laughed and said, "I can't mortgage it. If you want to sell it, I'm willing to buy it for 1 billion."
"Not selling!"
Hsu Shengzhe said angrily, "In your dreams. If I wanted to sell it, do I need to look for you? Longhua Square is our symbol. When we first opened, the group was prepared to sell 30% of the shops, but I suppressed it because I knew it would not be worth it.
So, Longhua Square is now in our hands. Do you know how much the rent is a year?
You know how much the rent for the second floor is. It's tens of millions a year. The rent for the first floor of Longhua Square is even higher.
Other than the lower floors, the commercial buildings above are also not cheap. It's about 60 million a year.
But this is secondary. The key is the crowd effect and advertising effect.
As the largest shopping mall in Pingchuan … "
Li Dong did not interrupt. He waited for Hsu Shengzhe to finish before saying, "Since you are not selling, why are you still talking so much? If you can sell it for 1 billion, then sell it.
At this time, who do you think will buy your Longhua Square?
I had no choice. Back then, I opened the flagship store there. At this time, everyone treated Longhua Square as the headquarters of Far away. I had no choice but to take over.
Are there others who are willing to take over?
Once we move out of Faraway Supermarket, your customer flow will decrease by more than 30%, and the additional value will be lost by hundreds of millions.
So, most of the credit for Longhua Square's fame is due to us.
Longhua does not do physical business. It's just for the reputation. Now that the reputation has been earned back, you should be thinking about making money.
Buying Longhua Square for 1 billion, you've definitely made a fortune.
When you first invested, you only spent 400 to 500 million. In just three to four years, you've received a 100% return. Including the rent for these few years, you've made a fortune.
If you're counting on the rent, it will take you 20 years to get so much money. Are you sure Longhua Square will still be as prosperous after 20 years?
If you don't sell it, as our headquarters, we will definitely invest in our own flagship store in Pingchuan. At that time, the Longhua Square will also be closed. You should weigh the pros and cons yourself.
Now that you've sold Longhua Square, your financial crisis will be solved, and we will also save a lot of expenses.
Mutual benefit is the way to go. You can't just think about yourself. "
Hsu Shengzhe snorted, "I know you're thinking about this. Also, don't make yourself sound so great. If it wasn't for Longhua Square, would Far away Square have risen so fast? That's why I said that the reason why you guys could rise up was because we, Dragon Floret, helped you. Now, it's you who helped us build our reputation. How dare you say that? "
"Why wouldn't I dare to say it? Back then, I chose Longhua Square because it's cheap. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been interested in this place. It's not like this is the city center. "
"Anyway, 1 billion is definitely an underestimation of Longhua Square's value. Commercial real estate has been appreciating in recent years. At this time, even if you invest in a shopping mall like Longhua Square, I'm afraid the cost will be 700 to 800 million. This does not include the construction period and other expenses. Also, you may not be able to achieve the effect of Longhua Square … "
Li Dong smiled. Actually, Hsu Shengzhe had the intention to sell.
If he didn't want to sell, he wouldn't have analyzed so much with Li Dong.
The reason why he said so much was just to raise the price.
Li Dong knew why Longhua would rather sell Longhua Square than the land.
In recent years, the price of land had increased at an alarming rate. Although the commercial real estate had also increased, it was gradually slowing down.
Now, the price of a floor in Longhua Square had reached 10,000 per square meter. To Hsu Shengzhe and the rest, the possibility of the price going up was not high.
It was only 2007, and Pingchuan was at most a third-tier city. Longhua Square was still not the city center. At this time, the price of a floor was more than 10,000 per square meter. How much more could the price go up?
They felt that the increase was not big, but Li Dong knew that the price would continue to rise.
In the future, the price of a floor in Longhua Square was more than 30,000. At its peak, it was even higher.
At that time, the value of Longhua Square was terrifying. The annual rental income was probably more than 100 million. It was much more valuable than now.
Hsu Shengzhe said all these to raise the price. On the other hand, it showed that he was hesitating. After all, Longhua Square had become famous in recent years and had helped Longhua Group a lot.
If the price was too low, Hsu Shengzhe did not want to sell.
The two of them talked back and forth, but Li Dong still insisted on one billion. In the end, Xu Shengzhe became a little impatient. "If you don't buy it, I'll mortgage Longhua Plaza to the bank! I think the bank is also willing to repay the loan with the rent. This is not as risky as the land. Even if we tighten the monetary policy, Longhua Square will still be in high demand. "
Li Dong knew what Hsu Shengzhe said was true. "How much do you want?"
"1.5 billion!"
"Pfft!"
Li Dong's face was full of shock as he said, "How dare you! According to your price, I will need at least 25 years to recoup the cost. Have you seen any commercial square taking so many years to recoup the cost? Maybe it will take more than 25 years. There are still a lot of maintenance and operation fees. Maybe it will take 30 years. I am crazy! "
Hsu Shengzhe said angrily. "Do you think I am an idiot? You think the rent will not increase in the future? You will surely recoup the cost in 20 years. Pingchuan is not like other first-tier cities. It will be good if you can recoup the cost in 20 years. Also, if the land price continues to rise, you might be able to recoup the cost in less than 20 years. 1.5 billion is the final price agreed upon by the company and me. This is not a high price. You can consider it. "
"No need to consider. I am not doing it! Do you think I am an idiot? 500 million? Have you ever seen such a price increase? 1.1 billion is my bottom line. If you are not willing, then forget it. Actually, I really do not want to use such a large sum of money on this. Do you believe I can double the amount in 3 years if I invest 1.1 billion? "
"The reason why I am willing to talk to you is that we are on good terms. Also, I have said that Far away needs a large shopping mall. If you do not agree, just pretend I did not say anything. Anyway, we are preparing to start construction on Su 'an New City. When it is completed, it will clash with Longhua Square. "
"Clash my ass! Do you think I am an idiot? Su 'an is not facing the Jiangbei market. It is facing the four provinces. Longhua Square is definitely the most suitable for you. Stop pretending. "
Hsu Shengzhe scolded. "1.4 billion. Friendship price. If I use Longhua Square as collateral, 1 billion will not be a problem. For the next 20 years, we do not need to invest anything. We can use the rent to repay the loan. 20 years later, we can still have a shopping mall worth a few billion … "
"Forget it. You can try getting a loan. Do you really think that the bank opened by your family can get a loan of 500 to 600 million? Furthermore, your debt is so high now. You might not be able to repay the loan in the future. Everything will be for naught. I'm not going to beat around the bush. 1.2 billion is my limit. The reason why I am offering this price is also to fulfill a dream of mine. When I first went to Longhua Square, I wanted to buy it one day. Now, I am offering this price. You know the pros and cons. 1.2 billion now might be equivalent to a few billion in the future. "
What Li Dong said was not a lie.
Actually, it is not worth it to acquire Longhua Square at this time. The cash flow will be very useful.
The reason why Feng Yu has this intention is to improve Far away's image and help Hsu Shengzhe. Finally, it is to fulfill his dream.
Regardless of whether it was in his previous or current life, the first time Li Dong arrived at Longhua Square, he had always thought that one day this building would belong to him.
When he went to Longhua Square for the first time, he had asked how much it would cost to buy the second floor. At that time, the other party offered 70 million. To Li Dong, it is an astronomical figure.
Now that Li Dong had some capital in his hands, he was naturally tempted.
Of course, Feng Yu is not stupid. He will not use so much cash to acquire Longhua Square. He will invest part of it, get a loan, and repay the loan with rent.
Hsu Shengzhe will not do this. On one hand, Longhua Square is in high debt, and it will be hard for it to pass the review. On the other hand, Hsu Shengzhe is not as confident as Li Dong.
Li Dong might say that Longhua Square will rise tremendously in the future, but he is not sure.
Using uncertain things to bet on the future was naturally not the result he wanted.
Also, Li Dong made it clear that 1.2 billion now is different from the 1.2 billion in the future. Hsu Shengzhe can feel the inflation over the past few years.
Seeing Hsu Shengzhe is still hesitating, Li Dong said impatiently. "Anyway, this is the price. If you don't agree, you can get a loan yourself. In another three to five months, let alone 1.2 billion, I wouldn't even want 1 billion even if you gave me one billion. I have always been pessimistic about the property market. Otherwise, I will not sell the land. This time, I really want to help you. I don't want to see you fail. We are friends, and you are still trying to make things difficult for me. "
Hsu Shengzhe is speechless. I don't believe you!
After thinking for a while, Hsu Shengzhe sighed. "How about this. I will go back and discuss it. Far away is not as good as Longhua. I can't make this decision alone. "
"Up to you. You will suffer a great loss every day. When the land price falls, I will not even take 1.2 billion."
"I will decide as soon as possible."
Xu Shengzhe said somewhat helplessly, "I didn't expect you to succeed at the last moment. Li Dong, sometimes I really wonder if you have some kind of superpower. Can you predict the future?" "That's right.
Li Dong's heart trembled, but he scolded with a smile. "Get lost. If I have that ability, I will not be working for you."
Hsu Shengzhe is just saying it. He feels that Li Dong is too lucky.
Li Dong did not make any mistakes in the past few years when he bought the land in New City. His businesses are all making a lot of money.
Some time ago, when the real estate market was booming, this guy just had to do the opposite and sell all the land under his name.
At that time, the land price has almost reached its peak. It has not risen much in the past two months.
Looking at the current situation, although the property price is high, Hsu Shengzhe has a feeling that the property market will be hit soon.
The reason why the property price is high now is that everyone is playing the game of beating the drum and passing the flowers.
In fact, all the big companies are now on their guard. Even if Hsu Shengzhe wants to sell his land, it will be hard for him to find such a big buyer.
Li Dong denied it, but Hsu Shengzhe did not take it seriously. He shook his head. "If you can't predict the future, it must be your ancestors who are smoking. You bastard, you are so lucky. You have taken advantage of everything. If I had your luck, Longhua would be the best in the country. "
"Get lost. This is my foresight. Foresight! When it comes to the big picture, I am much better than you. You only know how to calculate these trivial matters. Are you as good as me? "
"You can brag all you want. You don't need to pay taxes for bragging."
"Who is bragging?" Li Dong stared at him. "You will know who is the boss of Jiangbei's private sector now. If I am bragging, what about Longhua?"
"… …"
Hsu Shengzhe was speechless. After a while, he said unhappily. "I shall not talk to you anymore. I will leave first. I will contact you later."
After Hsu Shengzhe left, Li Dong wiped his forehead.
Was it so obvious? This guy actually had such thoughts. That's scary.
But luckily, if this had not happened to someone else, no one would believe it.
Furthermore, Li Dong had been keeping a low profile these few years. Other than his abnormal performance in the stock market and property market, everything else was normal. He had achieved his success by spending money. No one should be too suspicious of him.
But Feng Yu still had to be careful in the future. Actually, the things he was doing now were not difficult for some people.
Everyone could see how Li Dong had succeeded. It was just that it was difficult to replicate.
Li Dong was glad that he did not like to act cool. If not, it would be troublesome for him to come up with a few future songs.
It was fine if there was a conflict of ideas once. But if it happened a few times in a row, anyone would be suspicious.
In the past few years, the only time he had plagiarized ideas was probably Happy Farm. As for Weibo, it was already available overseas and in China. It was not considered a conflict of ideas, and it was not a big problem.
Li Dong sat there and thought for a while. He warned himself not to mess around in the future.
So far away, it was not easy. He just had to do it step by step, and he would definitely succeed.
He was worth tens of billions, and there was no need for him to stand out for some small profits.
After thinking this through, Li Dong relaxed.
