Chapter: 4651

But Ye Chen couldn't possibly say this out loud, so he just smiled and said, "I've heard that On Jing Hai is a very famous master of Xuan Ji Tang on the Hong Kong Island. However, I haven't met him in person."

Liu Jiahui nodded seriously and said, "On Tai Chi was previously the most famous master of Xuan Ji Tang on the entire Hong Kong Island. Almost all the wealthy celebrities on the island are his regular customers, and we have a good relationship as well."

Ye Chen asked curiously, "So where is On Tai Chi now?"

Liu Jiahui said, "Since last year, Master has been away searching for heavenly treasures and earthy jewels. Recently, Xuan Ji Tang announced that Master had found a fairy grotto in inland China and was starting to meditate."

Ye Chen laughed and asked, "Is it possible that the fairy grotto is where he's going to cultivate his immortality?"

Liu Jiahui spoke seriously, "Mr. Ye, Xuan Ji Tang practices geomancy, utilizing heavenly treasures and earthy jewels to set up wind-water arrays. It's said that when they reach a certain age, they'll all retreat to meditate, just like Master."

Ye Chen nodded with a smile.

It seems that Xuan Ji Tang doesn't know whether On Jing Hai is dead or alive, so they've concocted a story about him retreating for meditation to avoid affecting their own reputation.

So he asked Liu Jiahui, "Mr. Liu, you haven't told me yet - what's the relationship between the fortune-teller we're going to see and On Jing Hai?"

Liu Jiahui said, "The one sitting at Xuan Ji Tang now is On Jing Hai's son, One Wei."

Ye Chen nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, Liu Jiahui's sedan chair arrived in Hong Kong Island's financial center, Central.

Liu Jiahui has two office buildings in Central, worth over HK$2 billion at present, which makes up the largest part of his assets.

However, Liu Jiahui was not yet considered a big shot in Central, as the true big shots were already absent from Hong Kong Island, that being Li Family. Li Family had one building in Central worth nearly four billion Hong Kong dollars.

The sedan chair entered Central, and Liu Jiahui proudly introduced it to Ye Chen: "This is Central, the financial center of Hong Kong Island. You've been away for a long time and may not be familiar with the island. The land price here is truly inching gold."

He smiled and said: "Sir, the rent for Class A office buildings here is almost the highest in the world, even surpassing the famous Manhattan in New York by six times. Only the top 500 companies in the world can afford to place their company here."

Ye Chen curiously asked: "Mr. Liu, do you have a business here?"

"Of course," Liu Jiahui smiled. "I won't hide it from you, sir. The land price on Hong Kong Island is already astronomical, and in Central, the top-grade office building prices are almost two to three million Hong Kong dollars per square foot. For nine square feet, it's equivalent to one square meter inland, which means that here, the office building price per square foot exceeds thirty thousand Hong Kong dollars."

As he spoke, Liu Jiahui pointed to a high-rise building on the side of the road and laughed: "This building sold a suite of 240 square meters for one billion two hundred million Hong Kong dollars last January."

Ye Chen smiled: "Two hundred sixty square feet can sell for so much money. I'm afraid Mr. Liu's business here has already broken through to over ten billion Hong Kong dollars."

Liu Jiahui laughed and said: "I have two office buildings in my hands, with a total value of around two hundred forty billion Hong Kong dollars."

Ye Chen asked again: "Oh, what did Mr. Liu pay for that small eatery he bought for Manjun?"

Liu Jiahui chuckled and said: "Ah, mentioning that small eatery is an excellent investment. Fifteen years ago, I spent one billion five hundred eighty million Hong Kong dollars to buy the entire street. If I were to redevelop it now, the land value alone would be at least thirty billion Hong Kong dollars."

"As I was saying, the old man from Ja'teng Assets has his eyes on that street, wanting to tear it down and build a commercial center. If I were to collaborate with them, they would invest one hundred fifty billion Hong Kong dollars in construction, and I would enter as a partner using my land rights, taking 30% of the shares. Right now, I'm discussing the terms with them - I'll use my land rights to value it at fifty billion, and recognize a twenty-six billion investment, giving me 51% of the shares, making me the majority shareholder."

He looked at Ye Chen very seriously and said: "If you're interested in this project, Mr. Ye, I can offer you a discount on some of my shares, and we can strike it rich together." JrNovels.com
