The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Shawn had two office buildings in Central. The total value of the buildings had already exceeded twenty billion Hong Kong dollars now, and this was considered to be the largest component of Shawn's assets.

However, Shawn was not considered the real big boss in Central. The real big boss in Central was actually the Laine family who had faded out of Hong Kong. The price of the Laine family's building in the center of Central was approaching forty billion Hong Kong dollars. After the team entered Central, Shawn introduced to Charlie proudly, "Mr. Wade, this is Central, the financial center of Hong Kong. You haven't been in Hong Kong for a long time, and you might not know much about Hong Kong. The price of land in Central is really high.

He smiled as he said, "Mr. Wade, the rental for Grade-A office buildings here is almost the highest in the world, and it is sixty percent more expensive than the famous Manhattan in New York. Those who can set up their companies here are Fortune 500 companies without exception." Charlie asked curiously, "Mr. Long, you should have an industry here too, right?"

"Of course." Shawn smiled and said, "Mr. Wade, to tell you the truth, property prices in Hong Kong are outrageously expensive. In Central, the price of a top office building is about twenty thousand to thirty thousand Hong Kong dollars per square foot, and eleven square feet is converted to one square foot in Oskia. That is to say that the price of a single square meter of the office building here is more than three hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars."

Having said that, Shawn pointed at a building on the side of the road and smiled as he said, "This building sold a unit of two hundred and sixty square meters at the beginning of the year, and it was sold for one hundred and twenty million Hong Kong dollars." Charlie smiled and said, "Two hundred and sixty square meters can sell for so much money. Mr. Long, your industry here must have already exceeded ten billion Hong Kong dollars long ago, right?"

Shawn smiled and said, "The two office buildings that I have on hand add up to almost twenty-four billion Hong Kong dollars."

Charlie asked again, "By the way, Mr. Long, what was the price that you paid when you bought the food street for Miss Marianne back then?"

Shawn laughed and said, "Mr. Wade, now that you've mentioned the food street, it was really an excellent investment. More than ten years ago, I spent one hundred and fifty-eight million Hong Kong dollars to buy the whole street. If I were to take it out and redevelop it now, the land alone would be worth at least three billion dollars!"

Having said that, Shawn said to

Charlie in a low voice, "The boss of Grohe Estate has taken a fancy to that street and wants to tear it down to build a commercial center there. I collaborate with them, they will

invest fifteen billion Hong Kill F

dollars to build it. I will use the fand to buy shares, and they will give me thirty percent of the shares. I'm discussing this matter with them now, and I will use the land at a price of five billion Hong Kong dollars to buy the shares and then make a pledge to invest another 2.6 billion Hong Kong dollars. I will take up 51% of the shares and become the major shareholder, then."noveldrama

Having said that, Shawn looked at Charlie and said very seriously, "Mr. Wade, I can give you a portion of the shares at a low price if you're interested in this project. We can make a fortune together, then." Charlie asked, "There is a road in the middle aside from the shops on both sides, right? How are you going to build a commercial center there?"

Shawn smiled and said, "In truth,

everything is under construction now. The road is already very narrow and is basically almost fully occupied by stalls at night. So, I've already communicated with the planning, department, and I will only need to commit to investing one billion Hong Kong dollars, and the municipal road will be demolished and reconstructed on the south side of the food street. When the commercial center is built, an underground pedestrian passage will be left on the basement level, and escalators will be installed at both ends so that the project can get approved."

Having said that, Shawn said again, "I will invest in a municipal road and then build a pedestrian passage. At that time, if I spend a little more money, I will be able to lead an underground passage from the basement level of the commercial center to the subway station nearby. This will make it a commercial center with very convenient transportation, and the future will be limitless!" Charlie frowned slightly and said, "This street seems to be very important to Miss Marianne. It will definitely be very difficult for her to accept it if it is redeveloped."

Shawn was slightly startled, and he

then laughed as he said, "I have

dealt with a lot of women, and I

know more about women than most men in general. Most women are too emotional. This is also a natural weakness in a woman's character. Look, why are most of the richest people in the world men? To put it bluntly, it is because memare always rational and can be truly reckless in the face of profits. In the business world, only people who are rational and calm can make big money!"

Charlie felt a little more disgust toward Shawn, and he said lightly, "This is Miss Marianne's spiritual support. It seems a little inappropriate to tear it down just to make money, right?"
