The matter of intermediary jumping orders can now be said to be the focus of attention, on the one hand, the intermediary complains that it is frequently jumped, resulting in the waste of their labor results, on the other hand, buyers and sellers complain that the intermediary fees are too high. The intermediary fee is actually reasonable, but the current fee is indeed somewhat unreasonable.
For example, there is no upper limit to the intermediary fee, for example, it is 2 points, the house of 1 million is 20,000, and the house of 50 million is 1 million. 1 million is enough for someone else to buy a house. In big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, tens of millions of houses abound, and many intermediaries sell a house and eat for a year. The point is that the intermediary did not be because the more expensive the house, the higher the labor cost, so the intermediary fee of the mansion became the focus of controversy.
During this time, a celebrity who bought a house was suspected of jumping orders, which pulled this matter back to the focus of our attention again. In fact, when Li Ka-shing came to Beijing to invest in Oriental Plaza, he was also facing a huge intermediary fee. So what did Li Ka-shing, the richest man in China, do? Li Ka-shing is indeed very clever, he arrogantly gave 400 million yuan of intermediary fees, and later earned back 100 billion yuan by relying on this.
We ordinary people buy a house, at most it is only hundreds of millions, Li Ka-shing, they will have a large number of property transactions, or land sales, so do they need to pay intermediary fees? For example, Li Ka-shing cashed out more than 40 billion yuan when he sold hong Kong's Central Centre, and cashed out 20 billion yuan when he sold Century Square in Shanghai. If you follow the intermediary fee of 2 points, then the intermediary fee is several hundred million.
Although Li Ka-shing is very rich, a few hundred million is not a small amount, and no one is willing to pay these hundreds of millions of intermediary fees in vain. However, Li Ka-shing's approach is different from ordinary people, he knows that some money must be paid, so he is still very happy to give.
In 1994, Li Ka-shing began planning a massive increase in investment in the mainland. In 1992, Li Ka-shing had just invested 6 billion yuan to develop Shenzhen's Yantian Port, which was the largest foreign project of the year. In 1994, just as Li Ka-shing was preparing to continue to increase his investment in the mainland, an intermediary sent a project on a 150-acre plot of land next to Wangfujing in Beijing.
Li Ka-shing knew the potential of this land when he saw it, and it was in the most core area of Beijing, and if it developed into a commercial center, the future value was unlimited. However, such a piece of land is also a hot potato, and it will definitely require a large investment to develop.
The person who sent li ka-shing the project at that time was Zhou Kaixuan, and now Li Ka-shing's confidant. At that time, Zhou Kaixuan was still meeting Li Ka-shing for the first time. Zhou Kaixuan worked with Zhang Peiwei to buy cement from Guangxi to Hong Kong sales, and made some money, but the business was always small.
Zhang Peiwei's uncle is the ship king Dong Haoyun, Dong Haoyun's son told Zhou Kaixuan and Zhang Peiwei to go to the mainland to find projects, if there is a lack of funds he can come to invest. So Zhou Kaixuan went to Beijing and took a fancy to the children's cinema, which was intended to be bought and developed into a clothing store.
As a result, Zhou Kaixuan found the other party to negotiate, but the yin and yang mistakenly got the information that the 150 acres of land next to Wangfujing were preparing for the old change, so Zhou Kaixuan keenly judged that this was a good project, so he preemptively signed the cooperation intention and then took it back to Hong Kong for resale. The Dong family decided to invest at that time, but their strength could not eat such a large project alone, so they introduced Zhou Kaixuan to find Li Ka-shing.
Li Ka-shing naturally knows the potential of this project. In fact, at that time, Li Ka-shing could also skip Zhou Kaixuan and directly find the mainland to talk, so that he could save hundreds of millions of dollars. If Li Ka-shing did not invest, there were few people in Hong Kong at that time who could invest, so Li Ka-shing was not afraid to take the project to find others.
However, Li Ka-shing did not do this, and if Li Ka-shing really wanted to do so, with his relationship in the mainland at that time, it would be a breeze. During Li Ka-shing's negotiations with Zhou Kaixuan, he found that this woman who was 33 years younger than himself was not simple. Chow Kai-hsien is not from a Hong Kong magnate, but she is very smart and very efficient, which Li Ka-shing admires. Li Ka-shing then decided to invest 20 billion yuan. According to the intermediary fee of 2 points in the industry regulation, Li Ka-shing must pay an intermediary fee of 400 million yuan.
Li Ka-shing intended to collect Zhou Kaixuan, so he happily gave an intermediary fee of 400 million. Of course, the 400 million intermediary fees are not in vain. Li Ka-shing gave Zhou Kaixuan a very difficult task, asking her to go back to Beijing to take charge of the demolition of the project.
Li Ka-shing's boldness also made Zhou Kaixuan look at him with admiration. Zhou Kaixuan also promised to be responsible for the demolition work. After Zhou Kaixuan got 400 million yuan of intermediary fees, she made a surprising decision, she took out 200 million yuan, participated in the investment of the project, accounting for 1% of the shares.
200 million is not a small amount for Zhou Kaixuan, so Li Ka-shing appreciates Zhou Kaixuan's boldness even more. This incident made Li Ka-shing and Zhou Kaixuan both appreciate each other very much. Later, the two people also became friends because of this. At that time, Zhou Kaixuan was single, and Li Ka-shing was also in a state of widowhood.
So the two men came together. This piece of land was later developed by Li Ka-shing into the now famous Oriental Square. Oriental Plaza can now collect more than 2 billion yuan in rent a year, which is also the most profitable commercial real estate project in the mainland, and the potential is still very large, and there is still a lot of room for rent growth in the future. What li ka-shing was more successful was that he became boyfriend and girlfriend with Zhou Kaixuan, and Zhou Kaixuan later managed the Victoria Harbour for Li Ka-shing to invest in this company, earning Li Ka-shing hundreds of billions of dollars.
In 2008, Zhou Kaixuan handed over facebook's plan to Li Ka-shing. Zuckerberg was in financial difficulty at the time, and he came to the East to seek financial help. Someone just recommended FACEBOOK to Zhou Kaixuan. At that time, Facebook was not a particularly successful company, and it encountered great challenges.
Zhou Kaixuan thought that Facebook had amazing potential, so she recommended it to Li Ka-shing and took 8 minutes to convince Li Ka-shing to invest. Li then invested $450 million in Facebook and got a 3 percent stake. Today Facebook is worth more than $1 trillion. Li Ka-shing's $450 million became $30 billion, or 200 billion yuan. With this investment alone, Chow Kai-hsien has earned 100 billion yuan for Li Ka-shing, and this is not counting the money that Kaixuan made for Li Ka-shing's investment in other aspects last week. If Li Ka-shing was not willing to give the 400 million intermediary fees that year, then there would be no follow-up.
