In 2023, the real estate circle will be bloody, but the situation of the real estate tycoons is very different, some assets have appreciated sharply, some have smashed pots and sold iron to repay debts, and some have been imprisoned.
Let's talk about the originator of the real estate industry, Li Ka-shing, in 2023, Forbes will release the rich list, 95-year-old Li Ka-shing is still firmly on the throne of the richest man in Hong Kong, with net assets increasing by $3 billion from the previous year, reaching $39 billion, an increase of nearly 10%. I have to say that Li Ka-shing still has real skills, in 2023, the global economy is going through the winter, but Li Ka-shing's net worth can still go against the market sharply, some people say that it all depends on his trick to "slip fast". The domestic real estate is in turmoil, and Li Ka-shing is the one who slips away the fastest.
Since 2013, Li Ka-shing began to batch ** real estate projects in the mainland, at that time many people couldn't understand, many people also scolded him for being crazy, real estate is obviously still in the first period, all real estate companies are crazy enclosure expansion, only Li Ka-shing is running in the opposite direction.
Li Ka-shing is also very particular about selling and selling, and interprets the shrewdness in the bones of businessmen to the extreme. He never sells assets in a big way, he sells a little a year and sells slowly.
There is a commercial center called Century Shenghui Plaza in Shanghai, this land Li Ka-shing bought in 2005, held it in his hands for 9 years, and did not develop it until 2014, and it has not been opened after it has been developed, and in 2021, it will be sold directly, and Li Ka-shing has made a net profit of 21 small goals on this piece of land alone. In the mainland, Li Ka-shing has several similar projects, which are basically the same routine, buying land at a low price and selling it quietly, and may not engage in any development during the period. Some people can't understand it, what kind of real estate developer is buying and selling land? But Li Ka-shing knows that buying low and selling high is the easiest way to make money.
Of course, many people don't like Li Ka-shing, even if he has a lot of money, they still think that he has less family and country feelings, and some people simply scold him for having no character and only money in his eyesI have to admit that among so many real estate tycoons, Li Ka-shing has the best life now.
There is also a real estate tycoon in the mainland who wants to learn from Li Ka-shing, but he drew a cat according to the tiger and messed up! This person is Pan Shiyi, the founder of SOHO Group.
After Li Ka-shing started the first mainland real estate project, Pan Shiyi can be said to be close behind, in a public interview, Pan Shiyi even publicly sang about the domestic real estate industry, saying that the domestic housing prices are too high and the risk is too great. Also since 2013, Pan Shiyi also began to dispose of domestic real estate in batches, but he was soon caught, Lao Pan took the money from selling houses in China to buy and buy in the United States and the United Kingdom, and even donated hundreds of millions to Harvard and Yale in the United States, so netizens couldn't hold back.
I have to say that Pan Shiyi wants to learn from Li Ka-shing's shrewdness, but the means are far behind, this person is not only poor in means, but also in a poor pattern, and openly dumps ** internal assets, it can almost be said that he wants to hollow out SOHO, in 2021, Pan Shiyi tried to clear the **SOHO equity, and even found the next home, and finally because the opposition was too big, he had to give up. Now, Pan Shiyi's money has run out, but he hasn't made it, his reputation is stinky, and he can only live with his tail between his legs.
Much better than Pan Shiyi is Wanda's founder Wang Jianlin. Wang Jianlin can be said to be the most independent real estate tycoon in China, although Wanda has also encountered problems, but Lao Wang still has the courage and never escapes.
Since 2018, in order to help Wanda survive the crisis, Wang Jianlin sold his assets in batches, sold hotels, sold cultural tourism projects, and finally survived a few years, and in 2023, the bet between Lao Wang and investors expired again, and the small goal of 30 billion was pressed again all of a sudden, Lao Wang could only continue to dispose of assets, Wanda Movies were sold, and Wanda Plaza was also sold more than a dozen, without even blinking his eyes, vividly showing the courage and responsibility of entrepreneurs.
In December 2023, investors reached a consensus to revise the VAM agreement signed with Wang Jianlin, stating that they would support Wang Jianlin to tide over the difficulties, and Wanda finally ushered in a turnaround.
is also smashing pots and selling iron, but Yang Guoqiang, the founder of Country Garden, is not as decisive as Wang Jianlin, and it was not until Country Garden officially announced that it had defaulted on its bonds, and Lao Yang really began to sell assets.
In October 2023, Boss Yang sold his private jet, and in December, Yang Huiyan, chairman of the board of directors of Country Garden, publicly declared that the family would fully support the company even if it smashed the pot and sold iron, and announced a salary cut along with several other executives. In January 24, the speed of Country Garden's smashing pot and selling iron has accelerated significantly, and it has successively ** the Sydney Metro project in Australia, 5 projects in Guangzhou including hotels and office buildings, and the land in London, England.
In 2023, among so many real estate tycoons, the worst end is Evergrande's Xu Jiayin. After Evergrande's accident, Xu Jiayin** was imprisoned, and even the Mid-Autumn Festival was a month of appreciation through the bars. How miserable Xu Jiayin is, once under one person, above 10,000 people, now he is in prison, stepping on the sewing machine inside, and even the ancestral grave of his hometown may not be able to be saved.
Xu Jiayin got such an end, no one will sympathize with him, Li Ka-shing knows how to run, Wang Jianlin knows how to sell, but what about Xu Jiayin, the industry has passed, and he is still standing there stupidly, thinking that "the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish", but he didn't expect a big wave to come, and the whole boat was overturned, and it was completely finished. Xu Jiayin also has a stinky problem, he is reluctant to give up anything, he is reluctant to sell the land, he is reluctant to discount the house, and in the end, the living are dragged to death by debt.
What Xu Jiayin has committed is still inconclusive, and it is likely that it will be difficult to come out again, he has dug a big hole of two trillion yuan for the country and society, which will not be filled in a few lifetimes.
is also mixed in the real estate circle, the same people do not have the same fate, Li Ka-shing's assets are still skyrocketing, Pan Shiyi is still being scolded, Wang Jianlin and Yang Guoqiang are busy selling assets to pay off debts, and the worst thing is Xu Jiayin, who is difficult to protect himself, and he loses completely.
