- London, England. ¡Ý¡Ýpoint¡Ýsmall¡Ýsay,
A shining pearl built across the Thames.
This city with an extremely glorious history in modern human history is still one of the most important financial, political and cultural centers in the world to this day.
Although the United States is now the dominant player in the world, the financial community in London is still the largest financial trading market in continental Europe. It controls transactions including heavy metals, oil, foreign currencies, insurance, etc., and has great influence on Europe and Africa. big.
Therefore, when people talk about Europe, the first thing they think of is London, and then Paris, France.
Because the UK¡¯s territory is too narrow and the UK¡¯s population has been decreasing over the years, London¡¯s current population is about 8 million.
¡° If we include people from surrounding areas who come to London to seek life, the total daily active population in London can reach about 12 million.
Considering that the total population of Great Britain is only 60 million, accounting for one-fifth of a country¡¯s population, London is basically the same as Japan.
The city of London that we usually know is actually the 12 boroughs of Inner London. The names like Chelsea and Fulham that Chinese fans are familiar with are the names of these boroughs.
There are also 21 Outer London boroughs, and the 33 boroughs together make up the entire Greater London.
The prosperous areas are naturally the 12 inner administrative districts on both sides of the Thames River.
Today, Liu Datou has chosen the Westminster district in inner London as his headquarters in London, and is flexing his muscles.
As study personnel sent by Xiao Qi, the three members of the Wenzhou Real Estate Speculation Group, Hou Mutai, Guan Shantang and Yang Hua, were entrusted with important tasks by Liu Datou because of their excellent theoretical and practical knowledge.
Liu Datou is a smart man. Before he talked to Xiao Qi about British real estate. I have already conducted in-depth research on the British real estate market.
¡°He is not a celebrity killer who only knows how to play with female stars. If he didn¡¯t have the actual ability, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to pull out his teeth repeatedly and create such a world in Hong Kong.
Through his experience in Hong Kong, Liu Datou knows. It doesn¡¯t mean that the cheaper the house is, the better it is, but the more demand there is for a house, the more its price will rise and the better it will sell.
This is quite similar to Li Chaoren¡¯s famous theory of ¡°location¡±, ¡°location¡± and ¡°location¡±.
Of course, doing real estate is not that simple. If you really think that you can become the second Superman Li after buying his autobiography and be reincarnated, then the Peak in Hong Kong is the last place you want to go.
The means by which Li Chaoren started his career. It's not as simple as you think, nor as clean as you think. The reason why you think he is an inspirational idol is because after he started his career, he gave you this impression after years of doing good deeds and beautifying.
Therefore, Xiao Qi has never been willing to touch real estate and become a fairy real estate. Now he has only launched two projects in Chengdu and Shangri-La in the capital.
Liu Datou is cruel and ruthless. Definitely more than Li Chaoren, he came to London this time. He just wants to make a lot of money by speculating in real estate. It is impossible for him to care about the life and death of British people.
The entire land area of ??Greater London is about 1,600 square kilometers, which is basically the same size as Oriental City.
"The population of Dongfang City is 1 million, which is almost four times that of London.
Logically speaking, the population density here is not that large, and the real estate is definitely not as prosperous as in the east.
?That is exactly the case.
London house prices. It hasn't been very high over the years.
The cost of buying a house for an average family is basically around ¡ê360,000.
With the outbreak of the financial crisis, the UK has inevitably been affected. Now London's housing prices have plummeted, plummeting by 15% in basically half a year. The public's wait-and-see mood is getting stronger.
In order to recover losses and break the impact of the financial crisis, the British government introduced laws at the end of last year to encourage foreigners to come to the UK to buy houses.
As we all know, there are many taxes on real estate transactions, the most important of which is called capital gains tax (gt). In our country, it is called housing appreciation income tax, which means the same thing.
The British buy and sell houses by themselves. The first time you sell your house, you have to pay 18% of the total house price as capital gains tax; the second time it is even more serious, you have to pay 28% of the total house price. %.
So under the new bill, how much capital gains tax do foreigners need to pay when selling a house?
0.
?That is, no.
You can buy or sell a house at will in the UK,??No need to pay this biggest tax.
The remaining residential land stamp tax, property management fees, ground rent, municipal fees, etc. are simply not worth mentioning, at best only 3%-5% of the total house price.
As soon as Liu Datou arrived in the UK, he caught up with the bill issued by the British government, which made him feel that he was in the right place.
After some careful research, he gave up the plan of setting up a construction company and directly building houses for sale.
Liu Datou decided to focus on two investment methods in the UK.
The first one is to buy land, hoard land, speculate on land, and sell it when the price is high.
The second is to directly purchase mid-to-high-end housing. After raising housing prices, it will also drive a surge in the surrounding market, and at the same time, it will also drive up the growth of your own land.
After the land price rises, it will naturally drive up the housing prices.
The two complement each other, and it is possible to make profits by pushing up housing prices.
What makes it even more convenient for him is that due to the same legal and policy continuity, he has completely transferred Hong Kong¡¯s hype experience to the UK without even touching many details.
Moreover, real estate speculation in the UK can be even greater. The British bill has more preferential policies for foreigners to buy and sell houses.
Liu Datou used to mainly buy and sell land, and then build houses to make money. He still has some insufficient experience in speculating large-scale houses.
But he was not panicked at all, because there were several such professionals around him - the trio of Wenzhou Real Estate Speculators!
Liu Datou was a little unhappy when Xiao Qi sent them here before, but after he decided on the method of operation, he realized that Xiao Qi had sent him a capable helper!
The trio of Wenzhou real estate speculators are responsible for raising house prices, and he is responsible for buying land, hoarding it, and speculating on it. It¡¯s a perfect match!
Branson, who holds 15% of the shares of "Hengxin Investment Company", certainly doesn't know how to do it.
After hearing about Liu Datou¡¯s investment direction, Branson sent him a lot of market experts without saying a word after helping him find an office space.
There are legal consultants responsible for real estate sales, retired government commissioners responsible for communicating with the government¡¯s land sales department, analysts responsible for collecting various land and real estate information in London, financial specialists responsible for dealing with banks, and They provide various support personnel
Just like that, the "Hengxin Investment Company" framework was completely set up, and Liu Datou could take action at any time.
Xiao Qi¡¯s 5 billion US dollars is now in the company¡¯s account. Thinking of having so much money for his own use, Liu Datou is breathing heavily.
But after all, he is also the chairman of a large company with a market value of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. Although US$5 billion is a lot, it is not something he has never seen before. Well, but in terms of cash alone, I¡¯ve never seen it before.
After collecting and analyzing the data, Liu Datou immediately identified the Westminster area as the first place to speculate on housing prices.
Speaking of the Westminster District, everyone may not know it, but if you talk about a scene here, everyone will understand it.
Have you ever seen an aerial view? Next to a bridge over the Thames River, there is the iconic British Big Ben, and next to it is the ancient building of the British Parliament, and across the Thames River is the London Eye?
These famous buildings, including Buckingham Palace where the Queen and her family live, No. 11 Downing Street, and the British Museum, are all located in Westminster.
It can be seen that this area also spans the Thames River in London and is the center of London.
The housing prices here are of course the highest, but they are also the benchmark for housing prices in London as a whole.
If prices increase in Westminster, then prices in surrounding places such as Lambeth, Southwark, Kensington and Chelsea will definitely follow suit.
At the beginning of March, Liu Datou started the first step of the plan.
He first started buying large amounts of land in three areas: Lambeth, Southwark, and Kensington and Chelsea.
For a time, with the support of Branson, he acquired more than 10 large and small plots of land in a month, and spent 1 billion of the 5 billion US dollars in funds.
At the same time, Yang Hua, Hou Mutai and Guan Shantang also began to purchase high-end real estate and high-end new houses in the Westminster District in batches with the help of their assistants.
Wenzhou real estate speculators have always used this trick.
Don¡¯t look for cheap houses to speculate on. If you want to speculate, just speculate on good houses that are well-known and very valuable.
"After the price rises, the reputation will also be great,"The effect of the movement is naturally great.
As for the method of selling the left hand to the right hand and exchanging the right hand for the left hand, it is even more outstanding. With the intensity of real estate supervision in the UK, it may be difficult to stop it.
It is easy to buy land and houses, but the process of speculation takes time to ferment.
"It's impossible to say that I bought a house this month and sold it the next day at a profit of 12%. That can only fool children, but adults will know there is something wrong with it as soon as they hear it.
¡°And it¡¯s not enough if the quantity is small. The price increase of one or two houses will not have any effect at all.
In addition, buying newspapers, magazines, reporters, etc., to brag about the shortage of houses and the impending skyrocketing of housing prices, and to push up people's expectations for price increases, also requires a process.
Wenzhou real estate speculators are very patient when making a hype, and it is definitely not done in two or two as everyone imagines.
And now, they are slowly making plans (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
