I haven’t traveled far for three years. I went to the UK at the beginning of the month. When I went to London, I felt like I was a “Hong Kong Can”. What’s the reason? Hong Kong officials still said that Hong Kong is an international city, but in central London, I saw people of different races from all over the world; black, white, yellow, and brown. been stuck in Hong Kong. . What exactly is an international metropolis?
In the early row, the pound sterling plunged, inflation rose to double digits, and interest rates were raised wildly, thinking that the British economy was about to shrink, but in London, I could not feel the recession at all in the Harrods department or in Selfridges Mrs Tai confiscated famous restaurants, but people from strong countries remained silent; ate lunch in the Soho District, there were long queues in restaurants, and one had to restrict food for 1.5 hours; after the epidemic in London, residential rents rose sharply, at least twice this year. Behind the boom is the influx of capital and talent 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; they all have large-scale projects in London, and I don’t know how many.
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 the “Amygo Building” and was the predecessor of the 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 emerged that Fleet Street in London was chosen to rebuild “Amy’s Tall Building”. This street is no joke. It is a historic street of British newspapers and the publishing industry. During the busiest period, British newspapers large and small 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 regenerated or demolished. Mrs Liu today is also a media background. It is very meaningful to choose this street to start “Amy High Building”. Da Liu revived and rebuilt the original River Court and the old Daily Express building. In the past, Liu often made the headlines of the newspapers, and his soundbites such as “old businessman”, “professional chick” and “funeral star” are really resonant and creative, and they are similar to the tabloid style of the Daily Express.
Chelsea Waterfront, London’s Battersea power station residential and shopping center project developed by Cheung Kong, sells advertising on the London Underground. Stepping onto the site, the two large chimneys are very impressive, but if the house is transformed of domestic power plant, It’s also strange, but this area is really rich, a house costs 1 million pounds, and the residents of the neighboring housing estates are well dressed and expensive, and the old people used London taxis to get in and out. an address
Zhang Songqiao, 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 of Notting Hill for development. I heard from a local real estate agent in Hong Kong that Zhang Songqiao went to Dugong in London again 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 he looks like the typical big houses of a Hong Kong estate, like the Tseung Kwan O New Development Zone. With such a huge supply of 10,000 units, it’s up to you to decide whether property prices can rise.
