Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 757 Opportunities from Casual Chats

Although Han Dongming's social circle is in the capital, someone like him will definitely have connections outside of it, so giving Luo Yang's club a little surprise wouldn't be difficult.

The other people in the antique-style hall glanced at him and Cao Shuyu a few more times.

After all, both of them had expressed their sincerity in supporting the Jiangnan Club. We don't know what the latter's intention was yet, but the support expressed by the person in charge of investment projects in the Yangtze River Delta region of IDG Greater China still carries some weight.

"Since everyone has made their gestures, I can't just drink Mr. Luo's tea for nothing."

Fu Bin spoke up at the opportune moment: "The most extensive social networks in our real estate circle are industry associations, of course, not the official kind, but just a few real estate company bosses who set up these associations privately to build relationships. I think the environment here is quite good, so if the association has any activities in the future, we can definitely try holding them here."

He can casually say something to connect with others, but no one can take it seriously.

Luo Yang, in particular, was a real estate professional in his previous life and was extremely familiar with this field.

Especially when he was a sophomore at Jincheng Real Estate, he suggested to Lao Liang that the price increase be finalized through the association. This shows that the real estate association is not just for eating, drinking and having fun.

"Mr. Fu, you'd better consider my reception capacity."

Luo Yang raised his cup to toast with tea instead of wine, and joked, "With so many friends here, the venue is small. Please forgive me if I can't perform properly."

"Hahaha"

Fu Bin laughed and then said jokingly, "You think we're having a team building activity? It's just a few bosses getting together to talk about the current state of the industry and its future prospects. Speaking of which, we still need your help."

After he said that, several people present did not think he was joking.

For example, Shen Jinglan knew that Luo Yang had already worked part-time as the sales director of a small-to-medium-sized real estate company during his sophomore year, and later even rose to the position of vice president. He Maosong, Liu Haishan, and Cai Fujun also knew a little about this, so they didn't think Fu Bin was joking.

"Mr. Luo also understands real estate?"

Han Dongming, on the other hand, has always been very interested in Luo Yang.

Besides the information they had gathered from the public, they were interested in all sorts of other, hidden details about him.

"Mr. Luo knows more about real estate than I do, a real estate professional."

Because of the conversation just now, Han Dongming showed goodwill towards Luo Yang, so Fu Bin added, "Many of our company's advanced rules and regulations were learned from President Luo. If I were to spread the word in the industry that President Luo is willing to give a lecture, countless real estate bosses would be scrambling to attend."

Two or three years ago?

Han Dongming was a little confused.

Luo Yang is only 22 this year, right?
Shouldn't they have been freshmen or sophomores two or three years ago?
Seeing his expression, many people present laughed.

Dong Xuan was also unaware of this part of Luo Yang's history, so out of curiosity, she asked, "Did Mr. Luo start his business in the real estate industry?"

"Hahaha"

This time, it was Liu Haishan who burst into laughter.

He said proudly, "You all don't know, do you? I met Brother Luo on his first day of part-time work, and I was persuaded by his irresistible plan to buy 232 houses at the real estate company where he worked part-time. The down payment alone was 5000 million."

Liu Haishan's words immediately piqued everyone's interest.

So, when asked by the crowd, he recounted his experience of speculating on real estate back then, using a slightly exaggerated description.

After he spoke up, several other insiders added their own points.

Han Dongming's eyes lit up, especially when Fu Bin talked about the industrial real estate model.

"Mr. Fu, I remember there's a company that does industrial real estate near the capital, I think it's called... what was it again?"

"Mr. Han is talking about China Fortune Land Development, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's China Fortune Land Development."

Han Dongming nodded and said, "In the past two years, they have set up several industrial parks in the north. I heard that they have recently been contacting higher-ups to try to establish connections with large central and state-owned enterprises. Are they on the same track as President Fu's company?"

"That should be it, right?"

When Fu Bin suddenly heard that China Fortune Land Development was building relationships with large central and state-owned enterprises, he hesitated.

He glanced at Luo Yang subconsciously.

"Both companies operate on the same model."

Luo Yang gave an affirmative answer: "It's just that President Fu is contacting many small and medium-sized private enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta region. From this point of view, China Fortune Land Development has a higher strategic vision, and their decision-making level should have some experts."

Upon hearing such comments, Fu Bin immediately became anxious.

Forget about the occasion, he quickly pressed on, "Brother Luo, do you know the core logic behind their tactics? Does Guoyang have a chance to follow this path?"

Han Dongming overheard the fragmented information by chance, never expecting that there was more to it than he thought.

Even if he himself doesn't work in real estate, if he can understand the underlying logic of this, he can still show off in his circle of friends in the capital, right?
So he showed a very interested expression.

"Mr. Fu, are you sure you want me to say this here?"

Luo Yang calmly lit a cigarette, smiling as he looked at Fu Bin and said, "According to what Young Master Han just said, China Fortune is already making moves, but without more information, I can't be sure if they've grasped the essence of this style of play. Once..."

While China Fortune is still figuring things out, he's here today giving the full version of what he said.
Fu Bin suddenly felt conflicted.

He quickly looked at Han Dongming: "Young Master Han, do you have any more information about this?"

The implication is that if not, the topic ends here.

He will find another time to talk to Luo Yang in detail.

Of course, it was also important for him to learn more about China Fortune through Han Dongming.

"I don't know much."

Han Dongming thought for a moment, then said, "I have a friend who works in a large state-owned enterprise. I overheard him mention it at a gathering once; he said they frequently visit several large state-owned enterprises in the capital."

Fu Bin looked at Luo Yang again.

"If we're only targeting state-owned enterprises, we're probably still in the exploratory stage."

In fact, Luo Yang still couldn't make a judgment based on just this little bit of information, but he knew the timeline when China Fortune Land Development made a major strategic adjustment. Combining this with the current time, he was certain that China Fortune Land Development was still figuring things out.

"Then us"

"do not!"

If Fu Bin were to finish speaking, there would be no follow-up today. Han Dongming quickly said, "I'll make another call and ask."

After he finished speaking, he took out his phone and started making calls.

The antique-style hall suddenly fell silent.
Four or five minutes later, Han Dongming hung up the phone, glancing at Luo Yang and Fu Bin: "My friend said that China Fortune Land Development wants to sign several important strategic partners as a stepping stone for its expansion into the southern market."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see how much this will help China Fortune Land Development's subsequent expansion.

When they have strategic cooperation agreements with several large central and state-owned enterprises in their hands, and they enter the southern market to negotiate with local governments, how welcoming will the local governments be to them?

Land, policies, taxes, recruitment, subsidies—all the most favorable policies can be offered to China Fortune Land Development.

It wouldn't be difficult to acquire a few plots of land cheaply in the city as well.

"President Fu, why don't you ask President Luo to put in a good word for you?"

Han Dongming looked at Fu Bin and said, "I have some influence in the capital. If your company also wants to go down this path, I can help you."

Without that statement, Fu Bin certainly wouldn't have discussed this matter with Luo Yang here.

He gave Han Dongming a deep look, as if weighing the pros and cons.

Because nobody's a fool, and there's no such thing as a free lunch. Putting aside whether Han Dongming has that much influence in the capital, if he helps, it means either getting direct benefits or taking shares from the company.

"President Han's abilities are indeed considerable."

Luo Yang spoke the truth, then looked at Fu Bin and said, "Besides, he's someone who hates trouble."

After hearing this, Fu Bin finally made up his mind: "Brother Luo, could you please give me a lesson?"

He believes that the complete plan is definitely not the one that China Fortune is currently implementing.

Without Luo Yang's analysis and guidance, if he were to try to contact large central and state-owned enterprises like China Fortune Land Development, he would only end up following in their footsteps and getting left behind.

One step behind, every step behind.

As for why Luo Yang gave him such great help...
Does this need to be said?
Luo Jianguo owns 20% of Guotai Real Estate!
"Just now, Mr. Han asked his friend, which actually told us about China Fortune Land Development's strategic development model and also revealed the future development model of industrial real estate."

Luo Yang didn't rush to reveal the complete plan.

"As you all know, our country has been carrying out supply-side reforms and industrial upgrading in recent years."

He tapped the table with his finger, signaling the tea master to add water, and slowly said, "Let's leave the former aside for now and talk about industrial upgrading. In the early days of reform and opening up, we lacked almost everything in China: technology, talent, and a huge market. So, we took the first step in using the cheap labor market to acquire a primary processing industry chain."

The people sitting in the antique-style hall were all elites, and they were all familiar with this period of our country's development history.

In the early days, we could only produce some primary processed products in many industries.

The story of selling 7 million pairs of socks in exchange for a Boeing aircraft is just a microcosm of that era.
However, the characteristics of our nation dictate that we cannot be content with, and cannot remain forever at the bottom of the industrial chain.

Eliminating outdated industrial chains, upgrading industrial technologies, and moving upstream have always been things that the country has been strongly advocating.

In fact, it has been progressing steadily.

"In the early days of reform and opening up, local governments welcomed any investment, regardless of the size of the enterprise, the sophistication of its technology, or the severity of its environmental pollution."

Luo Yang said with a smile, "Now that things have developed to this point, at least in our Yangtze River Delta region, local governments have made changes. They don't welcome just any company. For example, small chemical companies that cause serious pollution, or companies with low energy consumption, large land area, and low efficiency, especially in Shanghai, southern Jiangsu, and northern Zhejiang, have either closed down or relocated."

In fact, during these few years, a large number of small chemical enterprises in southern Jiangsu closed down, and the rest relocated to Anhui Province or to northern Jiangsu.

"Can you imagine what the scene will be like in five or six years?"

Luo Yang picked up his teacup, took a sip, and continued, "As land resources become increasingly scarce and the country's determination to eliminate outdated production capacity grows stronger, local governments will have an increasingly urgent need for high-tech industries, new energy industries, and green industries when attracting investment. At the same time, they will be less and less interested in high-energy-consuming and low-efficiency investment enterprises."

This control even calculates the output value and tax revenue per unit area of ​​land.

"So, in the future, local governments will focus their investment attraction efforts on high-tech industries, new energy industries, green industries, and large-scale, high-efficiency enterprises?"

Fu Bin said thoughtfully, "Local governments will comprehensively consider data on enterprises in terms of employment, taxation, output value, etc., and they especially value the scale effect formed by enterprises in the upstream and downstream industrial chains."

"Just look at the attitude of the Shanghai municipal government towards introducing Tesla."

Luo Yang then gave a small example.

"Yes, China Fortune Land Development has a longer-term vision than us in this regard!"

Fu Bin had to admit: "Just like Brother Luo said, there are experts within their company."

"Mr. Fu, there's no need to worry."

Han Dongming then interjected with a smile, "Don't you still have President Luo?"

Fu Bin immediately regained his composure and looked at Luo Yang.

"If Cathay Pacific wants to take this path, it doesn't need to contact those large state-owned enterprises and central enterprises one by one like China Fortune Land Development did."

Luo Yang smiled slightly and said, "We could try a different approach."

As he said this, he looked at Han Dongming.

"As far as I know, our country has been investing more and more in Asia, Africa and Latin America in recent years, not only at the private level, but also in many large-scale national projects."

"Investment in exchange for resources."

Han Dongming replied with a smile, "We are the world's factory, and we need energy and minerals from all over the world. We don't have enough domestically, so of course we can only get them from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. They don't have the technology, the funds, or the capacity to build, but we do."

"Is it possible that Cathay Pacific could participate in a nationally organized tour group?"

Luo Yang continued to ask Han Dongming: "He's specifically in charge of land leveling, road construction, and basic infrastructure development in the park. Even if there's no money to be made, as long as you can get involved, that's fine. Does Young Master Han have any connections to introduce President Fu to get involved?"

Many people in the antique-style hall did not understand the underlying logic in his words.

But Han Dongming understood, and so did Fu Bin.

"Wonderful!"

Han Dongming couldn't help but applaud and exclaimed, "President Luo, you're a true genius!"

Fu Bin's lips trembled with excitement.

Cathay Pacific's opportunity has arrived!
