My capital is quite large.

Chapter 172 Hong Kong Housing Prices

In September, Hong Kong sheds the sweltering heat of summer, and the sea breeze of Victoria Harbour caresses the tree-lined hillsides.

53 Stubbs Road, Happy Valley.

This top-tier luxury apartment, named The Grand, sits quietly on the hillside, overlooking the bustling cityscape of Hong Kong Island.

Li Feng stood with his hands behind his back in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the 7th floor, which offered a 360-degree panoramic view, looking down at this land where every inch of land was precious.

"Boss, the purchase procedures and stamp duty have all been processed and paid into the company account."

Zhang Xinyu walked over with the land deed. Even though she was used to seeing hundreds of millions of yuan flowing through Haofeng Group, she couldn't help but gasp when she saw the numbers in her hand.

"Hong Kong's property market is terrifying! This large 7th-floor apartment, with a usable area of ​​over 5,000 square feet, sold for HK$4.53 million! That's roughly RMB 720,000 per square meter!"

Li Feng turned around, showing little reaction to the number.

Cunning Rabbit Three Caves.

In the unpredictable era of capitalism, Hong Kong, this special springboard, must have its own territory belonging to Li Feng.

"The security and privacy here are indeed very good. Each unit is on the same floor, with a private elevator and direct access to the garage."

Li Feng walked to the sofa and sat down, giving a casual instruction:

"Xinyu, contact Swire Properties and the other residents here. I want the entire building, from the first floor to the twelfth floor."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinyu, who was pouring tea nearby, trembled and almost spilled the tea!

"You...you want them all?!"

Zhang Xinyu quickly did the math in her head, "Boss, even if the developer offers a package deal, this building will cost at least HK$60 billion! That's nearly RMB 49 billion!"

"The group currently only has about 3 billion yuan in available cash in its corporate accounts after deducting daily expenses and reserves. Moreover... we already have 38 billion yuan in debt! If we forcibly withdraw nearly 5 billion yuan to buy real estate, wouldn't that put unnecessary pressure on the company's cash flow?"

Hearing Zhang Xinyu's concerns, Li Feng chuckled dismissively.

"Can a living person die from holding in their pee? If the money in the account isn't enough, just exchange assets for cash."

"Go contact investment banks and have them pledge the 15% stake in JD.com that I hold!"

"JD.com is still burning through cash to build its logistics network, and it's unlikely to go public for several years. It won't receive any dividends in the short term either. It's just a string of dead numbers sitting there; it's better to pledge it up and get more loans!"

"Loan out $4.5 million! That's another 30 billion RMB! Add that to the money in the company's account, and buy this building for me under the guise of group investment!"

Zhang Xinyu was thrilled to hear that they could use JD.com's original shares to cash out and leverage them to buy a top luxury mansion in Hong Kong!

However, the thought that this property was purchased under the guise of "company investment" is unsettling.

A thought suddenly struck her, and she suggested, "Boss, since the building is being bought in the company's name, shouldn't we do some accounting?"

"For example, after we buy this building, it will definitely be for Yang Mi and the others to live in. We can sign a lease agreement with them, so they can transfer their earnings back to the company's account as 'rent.' This way, we can reduce the company's operating costs, help them legally 'avoid taxes,' and also..."

"Shut up!"

Before Zhang Xinyu could finish speaking, Li Feng's previously lazy expression suddenly changed.

"Bang!" The teacup hit the table with a dull thud.

Zhang Xinyu trembled with fright, her excitement turning to paleness, her legs went weak, and she lowered her head, completely unaware of what she had done wrong.

"Zhang Xinyu, have you been sitting in this position for too long? Has your brain gotten filled with mush?!"

Li Feng's voice was icy cold, each word piercing to the heart.

"Tax evasion?! Who gave you the audacity to cross that red line?!"

"Do you know how many eyes are watching Haofeng right now?!"

"There are plenty of people in Nanshan (Tencent), Hangzhou (Alibaba), and Yanjing (Baidu) who would love for me, Li Feng, to be utterly destroyed! Which one of them doesn't want to find something to use against me and ruin me?!"

Li Feng pointed at Victoria Harbour on the ground and angrily rebuked:

"At Haofeng, most things are negotiable, except for taxes, which are absolutely off-limits!"

"Tell everyone below that whether it's the company's corporate income tax or the personal income tax of the company's artists, not a single penny can be shortchanged! Even if it means paying more, paying unnecessary taxes, or waiting for the IRS to process the refund, there must be absolutely no thought of 'legal tax avoidance'!"

"Anyone who dares to try and pull such a trick on me in the ledgers, I'll personally send them to work on a sewing machine!"

Zhang Xinyu was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and repeatedly bowed and admitted her mistake.

"Boss, I was wrong! I was stupid, I was short-sighted! Xinyu will never dare to mention those two words again!"

"Stop with your clever tricks and get out there to do your job." Li Feng waved his hand coldly.

......

No sooner had Zhang Xinyu stumbled away than a graceful figure tiptoed out from the corner of the corridor leading to the master bedroom.

Yang Mi wore a bathrobe that perfectly accentuated her stunning curves.

She was hiding behind him, so she naturally heard Li Feng's reprimand.

However, she felt that the boss was making a mountain out of a molehill. After all, in this industry, which celebrity doesn't try to find ways to use dual contracts and tax planning?

Although she didn't understand, she dared not refute Li Feng.

"Boss~"

Yang Mi put on a sweet and charming smile, walked over and threw herself into Li Feng's arms.

"This house is so big and beautiful. You can even see the cruise ships in Victoria Harbour clearly from the balcony."

Yang Mi wrapped her arms around Li Feng's neck, her breath sweet and her eyes full of admiration and love: "My boss really loves me. He specially flew to Hong Kong to pick out such a nice house for me."

"If you like it, that's good."

Li Feng reached out and stroked her long hair. He was never stingy with a little gentleness when it came to submissive women.

"This building offers good privacy. You can choose this unit on the 7th floor now, or wait until next month when you buy the whole building and then pick out a unit you like."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi's alluring fox-like eyes suddenly darted around halfway.

Buy this entire building?!

The price per unit at Aoxuan is the highest in Hong Kong! The boss actually spent five or six billion without batting an eye to buy the entire building?!

This level of wealth has also broadened Yang Mi's understanding of her boss's financial situation.

However, despite her shock, Yang Mi immediately grasped another key point in that statement!

"Should we wait until next month when we've bought everything before choosing?"

Yang Mi secretly began to calculate in her mind, "Twelve floors... twelve independent kingdoms. Besides me, the boss will definitely arrange for other people to live here in the future."

She knew very well that in the world of fame and fortune and in the imperial harem, the height of a floor often symbolized the hierarchy of status!

"My boss is so good to me, Mimi listens to everything he says~"

Yang Mi pressed her cheek against Li Feng's chest, responding sweetly and obediently.

"The first floor, it's a duplex with a private garden of several hundred square meters."

Li Feng made the decision for her: "She can take walks in the garden and soak up the sun. She also doesn't have to wait for the elevator to go up and down the stairs, which is convenient."

First floor! Duplex with garden!

Upon hearing this arrangement, Yang Mi was overjoyed!

In Hong Kong's Mid-Levels luxury residential area, where land is extremely valuable, the first-floor duplex unit with a private garden is not only the largest in area, but also the most expensive per unit in the entire building!

The boss reserved the most expensive and comfortable suite for her, which shows that he cares about her!

but!

This joy lasted for less than a second before Yang Mi felt an indescribable sense of loss and sadness.

The first floor is indeed the most expensive and the most convenient.

However, in traditional Chinese thinking, climbing high and looking far is a symbol of being in a high position!

The owner of this 12-story luxury mansion must have already chosen the top-floor ocean-view penthouse.

There's no need to guess; Yang Mi could figure it out with her toes—that penthouse was definitely reserved for Liu Yifei!

Just because someone else got pregnant a few months earlier than her, just because someone else's husband had the boss's first child!

"If you fall behind by one step, you'll fall behind by every step..."

Yang Mi gritted her teeth, feeling a surge of bitterness welling up inside her, but she dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction on her face.

She quickly adjusted her breathing, put on an even sweeter smile, and kissed Li Feng on the cheek.

"Thank you so much, boss! Once the baby is born, I can play with him in the garden~ You're so kind to me!"

Seeing Yang Mi's grateful expression, how could Li Feng not know what little schemes this little fox was plotting?

However, as long as they behave and don't cross the line, everyone will have a good life.
