I haven’t traveled far in three years. I went to the UK at the beginning of the month. When I went to London, I felt that I was “Hong Kong Can”. What’s the reason? The Hong Kong officials kept saying that Hong Kong is an international city, but in the center of London, I saw people of different races from all over the world; black, white, yellow, and brown. It’s been so long since I’ve been stuck in Hong Kong. . What exactly is an international metropolis?
In the early row, the pound sterling plummeted, inflation soared to double digits, and interest rates were raised wildly, thinking that the British economy was regarding to shrink, but in London, I might not feel the recession at all. Harrods or Selfridges department stores were full of people. Mrs. Tai seized famous restaurants, but people from strong countries stayed silent; eating dinner in Soho District, there were long queues at restaurants, and one had to limit food for 1.5 hours; following the epidemic in London, residential rents rose sharply, at least two times this year to make. Behind the prosperity is the influx of capital and talents from all directions in London. Hong Kong’s richest man, how will he lose? Li Ka-shing, Lau Luan-hung, Zhang Songqiao and Zheng Jiachun; all of them have large-scale projects in London, and I don’t know how much they are.
Big Liu London continues “Amy High”. Liu’s heroic tenderness can be seen in the “Amygo” founded by him and his ex-wife Bao Yongqin. It was formerly known as “Amygo Building” and was the predecessor of Evergrande Center. In 2015, Xu Jiayin and Da Liu took over the top spot for $15 billion . Since then, Liu has not found another landmark in Hong Kong as his headquarters. It turned out that Fleet Street in London was chosen to rebuild the “Amy High Building”. This street is not a joke. It is a historical street of British newspapers and publishing industry. During the peak period, large and small British newspapers were distributed from Fleet Street to all parts of the UK. However, the publishing industry has declined, and the entire newspaper building on Fleet Street will be revitalized or demolished. reconstruction. Today’s Mrs. Liu is also a media background. It is very meaningful to choose this street to start “Amy High Building”. Da Liu revitalized and reconstructed the original River Court and the former Daily Express building. In the past, Liu often made the headlines of the newspapers. His soundbites such as “old businessman”, “professional chick” and “funeral star” are really sonorous and creative, and they are similar to the tabloid style of the Daily Express.
Chelsea Waterfront, a London Battersea power plant residential and shopping mall project developed by Cheung Kong, sells advertisements on the London Underground. Stepping on the site, the two large chimneys are very impressive, but if the house is converted from a domestic power plant, It’s also strange, but this area is really rich, a house costs 1 million pounds, and the residents of the nearby housing estates are well-dressed and expensive, and the old people use London taxis to get in and out. The price is just an address.
Zhang Songqiao, who is known as “Chongqing Li Ka-shing”, no longer returns to Chongqing, and is now active in London. In addition to helping Xu Jiayin buy a luxury house in Knightsbridge, his own Zhongyu Land is also invested in the high-end residential area Notting Hill for development. . I heard from a local Hong Kong real estate agent that Zhang Songqiao went to London Dugong at the end of last month. There are 100 units in this unplanned luxury house, and 30 units have been sold. The price per square foot is 40,000 Hong Kong dollars. Star Six Senses hotel.
There is a friend who buys cattle across the mountain, and Zheng Jiachun, who helps New World, bought a unit in Greenwich Peninsula. Even if he helps him look at it, it can only be said that it looks like a typical large housing estate in Hong Kong, like the Tseung Kwan O New Development Zone. With such a huge supply of 10,000 units, it is up to you to decide whether property prices can rise.
