Chapter 273 Selling
"By the way, Vic, there is one more thing I want to consult you about."

"This is our current office space. Do you want to buy it?"

In the elevator, Weiersi asked Li Changhe with a smile.

"Buy it?"

"Yes, we are renting a floor now, but the property market in Hong Kong Island is very hot, and the rent is rising every year. I think it's better to buy it than to rent it!"

“What if the property market falls?”

Li Changhe said with a smile.

He knew that from 75 to 81, the Hong Kong property market was in an upswing cycle, but soon in 82, with the start of negotiations between China and Britain on the Hong Kong issue, the property market was in a panic.

At that time, the property market in Hong Kong Island will plummet. Buying a house at this time would be like buying at a high price.

But Wells shook his head.

"The economic situation in Hong Kong Island is very good at the moment, and the property market will continue to rise. Otherwise, why would Hong Kong Land launch such a large project as Landmark Plaza?"

“I’m sure you’re optimistic about the future property market in Hong Kong Island!”

"You made so much money this time, buy a house to preserve its value!"

Weiss said to Li Changhe seriously.

Hong Kong Islanders have been obsessed with houses since they were young. They buy houses, big houses, luxury houses, Mid-Levels luxury houses, and top-notch Mid-Levels Deep Water Bay luxury houses.

It can be said that in Hong Kong Island, there is always a house you like that can meet your expectations.

Moreover, the property market's value preservation is not just talk. Over the past few decades, although the property market has often fluctuated and fallen, it has generally been rising.

The top wealthy people in Hong Kong Island, such as Li Ka-shing and Kwok Tak-sheng, all became tycoons through real estate.

There is an almost obsessive consensus in the hearts of Hong Kong people, that is, factories can make you money, but real estate can make you a tycoon.

Even Mr. Bao has now landed and started to plot to seize Wharf Holdings.

So Wells doesn’t think that the property market will collapse in the future.

Li Changhe made so much money this time, buying a building is one of the best investments.

"You have a good vision. Let me think about it!"

Li Changhe smiled and patted Weiers' shoulder, then the elevator door opened and the two people walked out of the elevator.

Then he came to the company that Weiers helped Li Changhe register.

The company was full of people at the moment, and each person had a phone on their desk.

In the era when there were no computers for working, the telephone was the main means of transactions and communication.

To be honest, Li Changhe still felt a little uncomfortable seeing the office area without computers.

"boss!"

Just at this moment, a graceful female secretary wearing a hip-hugging miniskirt came over and greeted Wells respectfully.

But his way of addressing Weiers made him feel a little embarrassed. Usually when Li Changhe was not around, it was fine for the female secretary to address him like that.

Now the real boss is right in front of you.

"Mary, my secretary, is a very capable person."

Weiers introduced to Li Changhe.

However, Wells did not introduce Li Changhe to Mary.

Li Changhe smiled and nodded, then said: "Let's go, let's go directly to the office."

"it is good!"

The two men went straight to Wells' office.

Mary looked at Li Changhe's back in surprise.

This young man in front of me seems to be giving orders?
Does the boss listen to him?
Could this be the hidden big boss of the company?

Li Changhe and Wells entered the office, and then Mary walked in immediately.

"Boss, this is the gold price in the gold market this afternoon."

"Also, what shall I brew for this gentleman?"

After Mary came in, she put a document in front of Wells' desk. This was the first thing Wells did when he came to the company every day.

Then she looked at Li Changhe and asked respectfully.

"Mary, let me introduce you, this is our company's big boss, Mr. Victor."

"But you don't need to introduce it to other employees outside for now. Just keep it to yourself."

Wei Er Si first introduced Mary, and then explained to Li Changhe: "Mary is the company's housekeeper. There must be someone in my company who knows you. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing to be turned away next time you come."

Li Changhe nodded: "Just pour me a glass of water, warm water!"

"All right, Mr. Victor."

The man in front of her was indeed the big boss behind the company, and Mary became even more respectful.

"In fact, I suggest that you try coffee in the future. Americans especially like to drink coffee. This small detail will help you create Victor's study abroad disguise."

At this time, Weiersi spoke seriously to Li Changhe again.

Li Changhe sat on the sofa.

"I actually don't understand why British people like to drink tea, while American people like coffee, even though they are both Anglo-Saxon people."

"Who knows?"

Wells spread his hands and shook his head.

Then he picked up the document on the table and said, "The gold price in Hong Kong this afternoon has risen to 730 US dollars. As expected, the gold price has started to rise wildly."

Now the news that the U.S. Treasury has stopped selling gold must have reached Hong Kong Island, and the price of gold will certainly rise in response.

What everyone is worried about is not only the US's refusal to sell gold, but also its attitude affecting other gold reserve countries. In addition, the market has to consider whether the US's intention to stop selling gold has other ideas.

For example, stop selling gold and prepare to start a war?

"Okay, let the people below start selling. Since everyone is starting to prepare to store gold, let's go out."

"This price is about right."

Li Changhe knew that the peak price of gold was 850 US dollars, but this peak price was not a constant price, it was just the point with the highest increase.

In fact, since the U.S. Treasury Department announced that it would no longer sell gold, the price of gold has skyrocketed almost every day, rising by more than $100 in just over ten days.

More than 700 US dollars is already the peak price range, and Li Changhe can release the goods.

"Your warm water, sir!"

Just then, Mary came in with a glass of warm water and spoke warmly but politely.

After saying this, Mary walked out respectfully.

There is no plot where the buttons under the neck are accidentally opened to reveal a piece of snow-white.

Life is indeed not a TV drama!

In front of the desk, Wells had already picked up the phone.

"Mike, from now on, we will sell all the gold contracts we have to the market."

"clear."

A steady voice came from the other end of the phone.

Weiss then put down the phone, looked at Li Changhe and said, "For now, only Hong Kong Island can start shipping. For London, we have to wait a while before they start work."

The time in Hong Kong Island is about 8 hours ahead of London. It is now a little after three in the afternoon, while it is only a little after seven in the morning in London.

The London gold market opens at 17: in the morning, which means it will not start until : in the afternoon.

"Don't worry, we can keep an eye on the market tonight."

Li Changhe said with a smile.

From the opening of the market to its closing, they are destined to stay up all night.

"Oh, there's one more thing I haven't told you yet!"

"It's your film company. I also signed someone for you."

Wei Er Si said to Li Changhe again at this time.

Li Changhe pretended not to know and asked, "Oh? Who is it?"

"That girl you bumped into last time, Guan Jiahui."

"Compared to the dim sum shop owner who is law-abiding, I think this girl is a time bomb."

"The little girl is vain and likes money. Her family is a performing arts family, and her academic performance is a mess."

"She has made up her mind to enter the film and television industry."

"Given her looks, I estimate that there will be many people who support her. Once a girl like this becomes famous in the film and television industry and is controlled by others, she will become more open-minded and become a problem for us."

"Maybe they will use this as a threat, so we have to be on guard against this kind of thing."

"It just so happens that you have a film company, so I just signed her in. Instead of waiting passively, why don't we take the initiative to control her contract?"

Wei Er Si was discussing with Li Changhe in a serious tone at this moment.

"I'm curious, how did you sign it?"

"She's still a minor, right? Based on my understanding of Hong Kong Island, her contract should be under the control of her father, right?"

"Two million Hong Kong dollars, ten years, and a contract for no less than two movies every year!"

"Also, I promised to invest one million in his father so that he can make another movie."

"This amount of money is already ridiculous in Hong Kong. The last time you saw Zhao Yazhi, he only makes 30,000 or 40,000 per film. Once this contract is announced, Miss Guan will definitely agree."

"As for her father, he still wanted to direct a movie to make a profit. I gave him a million dollars as an investment, and he had no objection."

"Anyway, for you, you are worth billions. This little money is just a drop in the bucket for you. It can help consolidate your status. I think it's nothing at all."

Weiss spoke to Li Changhe seriously.

Although the contract given to Guan Jiahui far exceeds the current market, it is nothing to Wells.

This is a crushing blow from the industry. The interests of the financial industry far exceed those of the entertainment industry.

"And then, what are you going to do about the play?"

Li Changhe was speechless. It was easy to sign the contract, but what about the acting contract?
"Shouldn't I ask you this? You asked me to open a film company, so do you only want to make movies in mainland China?"

"As far as I know, mainland movies don't have box office revenue, right? It seems like all the revenue belongs to the government."

"I was doing that for my wife. How the hell did I know that you would go and sign Guan Jiahui?"

"It doesn't matter. At most, we can just find a film crew to put him in. There are many film crews in Hong Kong. We can just find a few people and assign roles. It's very simple and doesn't cost much."

"It's for your status anyway, so just keep him."

"At worst, you can just terminate the contract with her when you no longer need the identity."

Wells said nonchalantly at this time.

Li Changhe smiled and shook his head: "That's not necessary."

"In fact, I am quite optimistic about the market for Hong Kong films. If that's the case, why not take advantage of the situation and do it!"

Li Changhe said to Weiersi with a smile at this time.

He said he was just going with the flow, but in fact Li Changhe had already made up his mind to intervene.
