Chapter 1336: Chapter 1068: Thirty Thousand Feet

Indeed, when Zhang Xiaoxi met with Boss Li of Henderson Land Development for the second time and reported her final offer of sixty billion Hong Kong Dollars, the other party was stunned.

He had seen the big picture, having weathered all sorts of storms in Xiangjiang over the years, but he had never encountered such a way of doing business.

Having just declined once, he had thought the Buyer, if really interested in acquiring Golden Center Phase II, might just raise the offer by tens or at most a hundred million more, followed by a prolonged negotiation, where they would potentially agree on something twenty or thirty billion above the baseline of five hundred billion.

And yet, who would have thought that Little Boss Zhang, after leaving for just a couple of days, would request another meeting and straight away add a hundred billion Hong Kong Dollars!

Announcing an astronomical figure of sixty billion Hong Kong Dollars!

Calling it an astronomical price was no exaggeration at all; Xiangjiang, thriving for decades, had never seen any building sold at such a high price.

Of course, Golden Center Phase II justified this price...

Boss Li of Henderson Land Development was also magnanimous and besides, the other party had said this was the final offer.

So, without succumbing to greed, he promptly agreed, declaring it a deal!

Thus, at a price of sixty billion Hong Kong Dollars, Golden Center Phase II was sold to Little Boss Zhang from the Mainland.

As for who the true Boss behind Little Boss Zhang was, he didn’t inquire; it certainly couldn’t be this young girl, especially since she came from the Mainland Capital where the waters ran too deep for Boss Li to want to explore too thoroughly.

After all, as long as he got the money and the property title was transferred clearly, that was enough. With this tremendous sum, Henderson Land Development would be in a position to both advance and retreat!

Should the Xiangjiang property market improve, then a swift "advance" was the call; with cash in hand, purchasing additional plots of land for investment and construction wouldn’t miss out on good times.

But if the prospects of the Xiangjiang property market remained unclear, a strategic "retreat" to the Mainland for investment was plausible. In recent years, Xiangjiang capital had increasingly ventured into the Mainland, and of course, Henderson Land Development wasn’t willing to fall behind.

Everyone knew that, compared with the tiny territory of Xiangjiang, the Mainland represented a vast sky and boundless seas for soaring!

...

After the news was announced that a Mainland Buyer splashed sixty billion Hong Kong Dollars to acquire Golden Center Phase II, it created a huge uproar in the Xiangjiang property market.

For this transaction was regarded as the largest amount ever dealt within Xiangjiang’s real-estate industry!

Such a record-setting deal might remain unbeaten for many years to come, given the extreme rarity of such large-scale acquisitions.

At the press conference, Zhang Xiaoxi became the focus of the entire event, mobbed by media reporters who clamored for interviews.

Everyone was curious as to what this very young girl’s background was that allowed her to conjure such vast sums of money to buy one of Xiangjiang’s landmark buildings, and to offer such a significant premium at that!

In the eyes of many real-estate tycoons, this was no ordinary acquisition; it was practically "charity."

The investment cost of Golden Center Phase II was publicly transparent, and the selling price was known to be exorbitantly high, which seemed rather absurd.

Yet, what was even more absurd was that someone actually paid for it.

No wonder Boss Li of Henderson Land Development had been unable to stop smiling these past few days!

"Manager Zhang, who is the real Boss behind your asset management company? There are rumors that you are just a front for a big Family; is that true?"

"Hello Miss Zhang, can your company actually put up so much money? Also, do you really think that Golden Center Phase II is worth sixty billion Hong Kong Dollars? Is there a possibility of benefit transmission or capital movement issues here?"

"It’s said that your company didn’t just buy Golden Center Phase II, but also acquired several buildings like Central Center and Shimao Plaza, all within Central. Does this mean that you are particularly optimistic about the economic development of Xiangjiang?"

"May I ask..."

Faced with the tumultuous crowd of Journalists jostling to ask questions, Zhang Xiaoxi felt overwhelmed.

She had attended press conferences in Mainland before, but it was clear that the journalistic styles between the two places were entirely different.

Mainland Journalists were more reserved in their questioning, very "proper," avoiding questions that weren’t supposed to be asked, and were always positive.

However, the Journalists in Xiangjiang were somewhat "reckless," daring to ask anything.

Questions like "fronting," "benefit transmission," "capital movement"—were these really concerns Journalists should be meddling with?

But there was no choice; when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Besides, Boss Li of Henderson Land Development standing beside her and others appeared unfazed as if nothing was amiss.

Zhang Xiaoxi could only maintain her smile and replied,

"Our company is registered and operating out of the Mainland Capital, with a wide range of funding sources. The specific Equity structure is not appropriate to disclose, but the vast majority of our Capital comes from Europe, the United States, and other countries, so it’s not what some Journalist friends might suggest as being a front for a big Family.

Additionally, the reason we invested in Xiangjiang’s Commercial Real Estate is that after thorough research, we believe that Xiangjiang’s property market is currently at a low ebb where Value Regression is quite pronounced, and the price is quite reasonable and suitable for Investment.

As for whether Golden Center Phase II is worth sixty billion Hong Kong Dollars, that’s a matter of opinion.

We believe it is worth the price, there might be a slight premium, but not much, and in the future, it can bring more profit to our company, so we are willing to pay this price to buy it."
