11 month 21 number.

Hong Kong Island in the early morning is immersed in a tranquil embrace, which forms a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle of the night. It appears particularly quiet and peaceful.

As the morning light breaks, the island is covered with a soft and mysterious veil. Everything seems to be waking up slowly in this tranquility, welcoming the new day.

However, just two or three hours ago, this wide avenue, which is now sparsely populated, was unusually bustling with people.

On both sides of the road, there are a variety of food trucks and stalls, exuding tempting aromas, attracting the eyes and taste buds of passers-by.

In the night, groups of night owls gather here, some of them toasting to each other, some drinking happily, their laughter and joy interweaving together, making this area lively and bustling, as if time has slowed down at this moment, making people intoxicated.

This is the unique style of Hong Kong Island, a city that never sleeps. Its prosperity and vitality are not only deeply imprinted in the dazzling core business district, but also permeate every winding street. No matter it is the busy main road or the quiet alley full of stories, they are all bathed in this endless light and noise, weaving together into a never-ending urban nocturne.

At a corner of the street, Old Zhang has quietly opened the newsstand. In the morning light, he carefully pieces together pieces of wood into a daily look, like an artist decorating a booth in the early morning.

Various magazines and bimonthly magazines are arranged in an orderly manner, each of which seems to be waiting for readers' favor and looking forward to an encounter with knowledge.

At this moment, the newsstand is filled with an atmosphere of anticipation, waiting for the newspapers carefully prepared by major newspapers today to arrive as scheduled, adding the freshest information to this small space and awakening every morning in the city.

Not far away, the hardworking sanitation workers have quietly started their work. Although the road surface is as clean as new and there is hardly any trace of garbage, the lingering smell of food and alcohol is still lingering in the air, reminding them that they need to carry out more meticulous cleaning to ensure that every corner of the city is restored to its original freshness and cleanliness.

"Ah Chen, can't the Hong Kong government plan more areas for night markets? It's really uncomfortable to smell this damn smell every day when I come here."

"Uncle Zhang, I miss it too," the young man who was cleaning said with some helplessness in his tone.

"Do you think I am willing to get up early every day and spend so much time cleaning? But the number of tourists in Hong Kong Island is increasing every year, and the Hong Kong government cannot make plans quickly."

Chen Azai is in charge of this area. Every morning he and Old Zhang stare at each other. After a long time, they become so familiar with each other.

Looking at Chen A-zai driving the Audi Group's exclusive Mukadi high-end cleaning multi-functional cleaning vehicle slowly out of sight, Old Zhang couldn't help but shake his head slightly, then refocused on the work at hand and continued his hard work.

During this period, all kinds of newspapers came in from deliverymen from different newspaper offices. Old Zhang always classified them one by one with ease and placed them accurately in their respective places.

With the sound of "buzz buzz buzz", the vehicle stopped steadily next to the newsstand. Chen Azi jumped out of the car briskly, holding a sandwich tightly in his hand, and walked towards Old Zhang, who was lying comfortably in a rattan chair and enjoying the afternoon, with a smile on his face.

With an almost playful motion, he gently threw the sandwich in the direction of Old Zhang, who was quick to take the sandwich with one hand. The two smiled at each other, and there was no need for words. The tacit understanding and warmth were quietly conveyed in this ordinary moment.

Lao Zhang picked up the sandwich without any delay, tore open the package neatly, and started to taste it.

After each bite, he would naturally reach out for the water cup placed on the ground beside him and take a sip of water to relieve the dryness of the food, appearing particularly comfortable and casual.

Chen A-zai walked to the familiar place every day to look for the newspaper he wanted to read, and he seemed to be very familiar with the place.

"Hey? Uncle Zhang, where's today's Southeast Daily?"

"It's not here yet." Old Zhang was shouting for food, his words were unclear.

"Not here yet? That shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't they be here by this time normally? What's going on today?"

"How should I know?" Old Zhang rolled his eyes at the other person and said, "I also want them to deliver it quickly. Business is about to come. Isn't this a waste of time?"

As the two were talking, their eyes inadvertently caught a striking scene at the intersection. A truck leisurely drove into view, with the four big words "Southeast Daily" printed on both sides of the carriage. The handwriting was clear and solemn, as if declaring the authority and timeliness of the information.

What is particularly eye-catching is that above these four big characters, the logo of Asia Media is cleverly inlaid in the upper right corner of the car. The logo, with its unique design and bright colors, not only increases the recognition of the vehicle, but also seems to indicate that the extensive influence and communication power of this media giant is quietly spreading to every corner of the city as the vehicle moves forward.

The vehicle stopped steadily in front of the newsstand. The door had not yet been fully opened and the silhouette of the newspaper deliveryman was still vaguely visible inside the vehicle, but Old Zhang could not wait to stick his head out and ask.

"Dezi, why are you so late today? It's half an hour later than usual."

Dezi didn't say anything, but swiftly opened the door of the carriage, took out a thick stack of newspapers, and placed it steadily on Lao Zhang's stall.

When I saw the thickness of the newspapers, it was obviously not the same as the quantity I ordered, it was a lot more.

"Hey? Why so many?

I remember I asked for 200 copies. Do you have all the copies you sent? I can’t sell all of them. Take them back quickly.”

Tak Tsai smiled to put the other person at ease.

"Uncle Zhang, don't worry about selling it.

You still pay for 200 copies, and I’ll settle the bill tomorrow for the remaining copies. I won’t charge you a penny for the remaining unsold newspapers.”

"Ah?" Old Zhang was stunned and thought to himself, is there such a good thing?

"Why? Are the capitalists being kind?"

Dezi did not answer this question, but answered the question asked by Old Zhang at the beginning.

"Uncle Zhang, now you know why I'm late, right? Every company that reported suspension today is in the same situation, and everyone is like you now.

If I spend two minutes explaining this and two minutes explaining that, it will naturally waste time."

Before Old Zhang could come to his senses, Dezi went back to lock the carriage and said, "Uncle Zhang, give me the money quickly. I have many families to deliver to later."

"Um, OK." Knowing that he couldn't delay the other person, Old Zhang quickly handed over the money he had prepared.

After collecting the money, Dezi got into the car quickly. Before leaving, he did not forget to say, "Uncle Zhang, if you want to know anything, just read the newspaper. The sales of our Southeast Daily will definitely double today."

"It's so mysterious and I don't know what big thing happened."

Looking at the shadow of Dezai's car after he left, Old Zhang wanted to tell Chen Azai that he could take the newspaper and leave, but he didn't know that Chen Azai was already standing in front of the stall and reading.

"The newspaper has been delivered and you can take it away."

But Chen A-zai didn't move. He looked at the Southeast Daily with horror in his eyes, muttering, "Oh no, oh no, it's all over now."

"what happened?"

Old Zhang was puzzled and picked up a newspaper. The headline on the front page made him understand why Chen A-zai was like that.

"Far East Group builds its own properties? Hong Kong Island's property market suffered the greatest blow."

The article mentioned that due to the booming real estate industry in Hong Kong Island, housing prices have soared too fast. In order to relieve Far East employees from worrying too much about housing, Far East Holdings will build its own residential area in Tuen Mun and Yuen Long in the New Territories and sell it to Far East employees at affordable prices.

In addition, the Far East Group will relocate its high-end factories in Kowloon and Tsuen Wan. In the future, these factories and enterprises that require a large number of employees will move to the northern New Territories and the newly established Lamma Island Science and Technology Development Zone.

It goes without saying that even Old Zhang, who makes a living by selling newspapers, can keenly perceive that housing prices in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon are about to enter a significant adjustment period, indicating that a sharp drop in prices is inevitable.

The target of high-end housing estates in Hong Kong Island has always been Far Eastern employees, who have high incomes, little financial pressure, and most importantly, can receive relevant policy benefits.

For example, when Far Eastern employees apply for home loans from Hang Seng Bank, they can enjoy lower interest rates than others during the assessment, and the down payment ratio is also reduced.

Now Far East Real Estate is actively planning to independently develop and launch low-priced housing, offering exclusive discounts to all employees of Far East-related companies.

The launch of this project not only demonstrates Far East Group’s deep concern for employee welfare, but also heralds a change in the real estate market.

This move will have a far-reaching impact on many housing estates in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, because with the entry of Far East Land's cost-effective residential properties into the market, these areas will face the loss of a group of high-quality potential home buyers, which will in turn trigger a subtle adjustment in the market structure.

Old Zhang walked over and patted Chen Azi, who was still standing there in a daze, not moving an inch, and couldn't help cursing.

"What are you still standing there for? The sales office isn't open at this hour yet. Go home quickly and inform them."

"Ah?" Chen Azi reacted and immediately calmed down, "I'll go back now, thank you Uncle Zhang."

It turns out that today is the important day for Chen A-zai's parents to buy a wedding house for him. They have already found a house and are waiting to pay the money today.

In recent days, Chen Azai's joy was beyond words and he mentioned it many times. Old Zhang was aware of his excitement about getting married and was also sincerely happy for him.

Chen A-zai was getting married at the end of the year and had originally thought of waiting for a while before buying a wedding house, but he had not expected the sudden change in the property market, with house prices rising suddenly. This sudden change accelerated the originally leisurely pace of preparation.

Seeing that the housing prices change every day, Chen A-Zai's parents decided to buy a house first to avoid having to wait until the end of the year to see how high the housing prices will rise.

So recently Chen Azai and his parents have looked at many real estate projects and have just decided on one. Today is the day to pay the money and sign the contract.

This is also the reason why Chen Azai said that the situation is bad, because the housing prices are about to fall sharply, and buying now will result in a huge loss.

Fortunately, Old Zhang reminded us that the sales office was not open at this time, so it was still not too late to go home and stop it.

Watching Chen Azai leave, Old Zhang looked happy and even started singing opera.

"I never thought that I, Zhang Daquan, would become a rich man when I am old."

The reason for his happiness is that Old Zhang has lived on Lamma Island for generations and his ancestral home is still preserved on the island.

With the official completion of the Lamma Island Science Park and the strategic relocation of the Far East factory, the land price in this area will undoubtedly usher in a significant wave of appreciation, rising like the tide, showing booming development potential and unlimited investment value.

Lamma Island, with its unique topographical advantages, is extremely suitable for building high-end residential communities. The perfect combination of its natural scenery and geographical location has undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for a high-end living experience.

With the gradual planning and implementation of high-end residential projects in this area, the ancestral home passed down from generation to generation by the Zhang family will surely be favored by developers with a discerning eye.

The housing market in Hong Kong Island is about to experience an earthquake, but not everyone can escape the danger.

The hot property market in Hong Kong Island over the past period of time has caused many people to queue up at major sales offices early, but most of these people have not received the news.

Although some people feel that there are fewer buyers queuing today, no one cares and may even be secretly happy that there are fewer competitors.

As for the developers and middlemen, they won't give any reminders and are ready to take advantage of this last hurricane to make some big profits.

By noon that day, most people had received the news.

Those who did not buy a house were secretly rejoicing, while those who did buy a house were wailing in pain.

In the stock market, real estate stocks plunged one after another as soon as the market opened, while the share prices of Cheung Kong, Sun Hung Kai and New World, which had been falling before, rose against the trend.

However, the overall real estate industry is still in a state of sharp decline, and the entire market has also fallen by more than 1%.

"The gentlemen in London are having a headache now. Your move of cutting off the source of funds is really beyond their imagination."

"I just want to teach these people a lesson. Want to bypass the Luo family in Hong Kong Island? That's just wishful thinking."

After get off work in the evening, Welch saw Luo Nianzhong coming out and chatted with him about today's real estate events.

London is indeed in for a headache. With several major real estate developers such as Cheung Kong Holdings announcing in the afternoon the development of their own land in the New Territories, as well as their cooperation with Far East Land on residential real estate projects in the New Territories, the Hong Kong Island property market has suffered another heavy blow.

Selling land in the New Territories? The question is who will buy it.

It cannot be said that no one wants to buy it, there are many buyers, but no one wants to buy it at a high price.

Who owns the large tracts of land outside the central area of ​​the New Territories? They belong to several major real estate developers such as Far East Land and Cheung Kong.

If these lands are not fully utilized, the lands outside the city that you buy will just remain idle and you will have to pay taxes every year.

The key is that the lifelines of these lands are in the hands of Far East Land, Cheung Kong and other groups. If you want to buy the land, you have to cooperate with me. If you don't cooperate, I will create a buffer zone between us and not develop in this direction. Your land will never have any development value.

So now London is in a dilemma. Should it revoke the bill? Where is the dignity and face if it is revoked right after it is finalized?

And judging from the current situation, such people-friendly policies cannot be changed at will. If you dare to revoke them, someone will make trouble.

Continue to implement it? Land and housing prices have not risen, so isn’t this just a loss for the Hong Kong government?

The Hong Kong government is losing money and cannot launch many infrastructure projects. Without these projects, how can British businessmen make money? How can the funds in Hong Kong return to the mainland?

Yinglun helped the Luo family a lot this time, and they now know what it means to lose both the wife and the army.
