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

Chapter 789 The Project of Wearing Hats
Tang Jingwan's current posture is actually quite awkward.

A pair of hands gripped Luo Yang's arms, and her upper body almost lay on his legs.

Unfortunately, Luo Yang's leg surface felt nothing.

In other words, Tang Jingwan is currently in a semi-suspended state, maintaining this posture entirely by the strength of her hands.

Moreover, she did not react to Luo Yang's voice just now.

He's definitely faking being drunk.

"Director Tang!"

It takes a bit of skill to wake up someone who is pretending to be drunk.

Luo Yang gently patted Tang Jingwan's head with his other hand: "How much does construction land cost per acre in the Xishu Scenic Area now? What is the rent for its transfer?"

He underestimated this woman's ability to cause trouble. She actually took the opportunity to turn over and rest one cheek on Luo Yang's lap.

"Well"

Tang Jingwan half-opened her eyes and looked at Luo Yang with a dazed expression: "President Luo, I feel a little dizzy. Can I lean on your lap for a while?"

Luo Yang: "."

"I think I heard you ask about land prices in the scenic area just now?"

While adjusting to a comfortable position, Tang Jingwan replied, "It depends on the purpose of the construction land. If you just want to build a farmhouse hotel or a private club, the approval process will be quite strict. The quota that the town can obtain from the city's land resources department each year is not enough. It would be best to package it as a project with a specific designation. This way, not only can you save on land quotas, but the land price will also be relatively cheaper."

Even when she was drunk, she could still answer questions with clear logic.

Luo Yang was stunned after hearing Tang Jingwan's explanation, as he had originally intended to remind her that it was inappropriate.

To be honest, although Luo Yang was in real estate development in his previous life and even reached the position of project manager, he was always engaged in urban real estate development projects. Even when he later did some industrial real estate construction management, it was still related to urban real estate.

He had never experienced the kind of land use model that Tang Jingwan just mentioned, and didn't know much about it.

"Oh?"

Luo Yang stopped trying to push Tang Jingwan's hand away and humbly asked, "What is a 'hat project' and how does it save on quotas?"

“When talking about projects that are designated as ‘hat’ (a symbol of land use), we have to mention the land use quotas for each city.”

Tang Jingwan released Luo Yang's arms with a soft "eh," then half-wrapped her arms around his waist while explaining, "The land use quotas of each province are not evenly distributed to the cities below. A portion of the quotas are always reserved. The so-called 'hat projects' refer to projects supported by provincial-level policies. These projects do not need to use the land use quotas allocated to each locality; they use the portion reserved by the province."

With this explanation, Luo Yang finally understood.

Moreover, in that instant, he had a sudden inspiration to think of the new energy industrial park project located in Jiangning Development Zone. Could it be that projects like this wouldn't have to use up the quota that Jinling allocates every year, but could use the portion reserved by the province?

This is what is known as a "hat project".

"I have seen the official documents, but I don't remember the specific contents very clearly. However, I do know a little about some of the more distinctive projects."

Tang Jingwan seemed to know that she couldn't stop now, and continued explaining, "For example, we can transform abandoned or soon-to-be-demolished tea gardens into modern tea garden industries. We can utilize the existing collective construction land in the old tea plantations and change its nature to construction land. The office space can be allocated according to the size of the project, generally around 3 to 8 acres. Moreover, the price of this type of construction land is quite cheap, only about 50 yuan per acre."

"You mean modern agricultural projects can be packaged as 'hat projects'?"

Luo Yang summarized the key points: "Moreover, because of the current status of collectively owned construction land, the cost of land acquisition has decreased, making the price of construction land after the change of use cheaper as well?"

"That's probably what it means."

Tang Jingwan didn't have a deep understanding of this policy either. Based on the description just now, Luo Yang believed that she had seen similar projects before, and her explanation seemed more like a copy-paste.

“Like the old tea plantations, the old buildings there still occupy a lot of land.”

While Luo Yang was analyzing, Tang Jingwan continued her explanation: "But according to the current regulations, the land use standards have been lowered a lot, which is somewhat like completing the quota for returning farmland to forest."

"Yes, there is a bit of that flavor in it."

Luo Yang recalled the Shuangfeng Town project, which was originally designed to address the issue of vacant small chemical plants wasting construction land quotas. The model that Tang Jingwan mentioned now is somewhat similar.

"Another option is to transform old and abandoned factory buildings into cultural and sports industry projects."

Tang Jingwan had a wealth of knowledge in her mind, and she gave another example: "Last year, a foundry in the town that had been abandoned for four or five years was renovated and transformed into the cultural and entertainment center of Xishu Town. Billiards, ice skating rink, dance hall, gym, and other facilities are all located in the renovated old factory buildings. Some companies engaged in cultural industries have also moved in, further enriching the cultural attributes of the renovation project."

This type of renovation also exists in big cities, with the 798 Art District in the capital being a prime example.

Moreover, ten years later, such projects began to appear in major cities across the country, and many old steel-structured, large-span factory buildings were transformed into sports venues such as badminton courts and basketball courts, which became very popular.

"You're not inside the scenic area, are you?"

After a moment of hesitation, Luo Yang asked, "What I want to know now is the land use situation within the scenic area."

"There are also abandoned factory areas in the scenic area after bankruptcy."

Tang Jingwan said with a smile: "In the early years, we didn't talk about environmental protection. At that time, a number of township collective enterprises were set up in the scenic area, including tea plantations, furniture factories, agricultural machinery factories, brick and tile factories, agricultural product processing plants, etc. Including the staff dormitories, the factory area was not small."

This is true.

Luo Yang nodded and said, "I forgot about that. By the way, you've been mentioning packaging, is there a professional agency handling that?"

Tang Jingwan blinked rapidly, a slight smile playing on her lips: "President Luo saw right through it!"

"Could you please offer some guidance, Director Tang?"

“If Mr. Luo needs it, I am certainly willing to introduce such a professional organization.”

After a light tap, Tang Jingwan immediately changed the subject, saying, "If there's no packaging, and it's not a 'hat project,' then you either need to invest in a large project like President Luo did before, getting preferential policies from the city, or you need to obediently try to get quotas and acquire construction land at a price of around 200 million yuan per mu. As for the transfer, according to regulations, it's currently 0.5 to 1.5 yuan per square meter per year. Specifically in Xishu, the rental price is slightly cheaper, and you can negotiate it down to around 1 yuan."

At 1 yuan per square meter per year, the annual transfer fee for 1 mu (unit of land area) is approximately 667 yuan, so for 100 mu it would be around 70,000 yuan. The transfer period is generally 20 years, so the total cost would be less than 1.4 million yuan.

"I'd like to set up one or two private clubs in the scenic area. Director Tang, do you have time to help me with the process?" Although Dong Dawei was comfortable with the system, according to the operation Tang Jingwan just mentioned, a project involving 10 acres of construction land and about 100 acres of transfer land would cost more than 20 million yuan for someone who didn't know the tricks of the trade to handle all the procedures and project expenses. However, if someone familiar with the process and rules were to do it, it would only cost five or six million yuan, and it would also save time.

"Is Mr. Luo planning to hire me as a consultant?"

As Tang Jingwan spoke, she slightly moved her head, bringing her cheek closer to Luo Yang's lower abdomen.

Luo Yang noticed her little movements and reached out to stop her.

Unexpectedly, this woman was incredibly agile, managing to get Luo Yang's hand to touch her cheek.
"Or is it that President Luo has taken a liking to my abilities and is planning to poach me?"

He was no longer dazed at all, and his voice was almost sickeningly sweet.

"I just want to build a resort in a scenic area so that my family and I can relax there on weekends."

Luo Yang smiled and reminded her, "My wife really enjoys hot springs. I wonder if there are any suitable places in the scenic area to set up a hot spring resort."

"I heard that Mr. Luo's father-in-law is Mr. Jiang from Yuanfan Group?"

Tang Jingwan clearly knew Luo Yang's situation, yet her face showed not a trace of embarrassment or panic.

She even went on to say, "Yuanfan Group has a branch in the scenic area, which is also a clubhouse. It's quite large, with a small hotel, a restaurant, a tea plantation, and a local specialty company. I heard recently that they were planning to build a self-driving tour base, and it seems they're applying for the project."

The situation regarding the subsidiaries of Yuanfan Group is complicated.

These companies were all established by Lao Jiang's relatives and friends.

Luo Yang had heard Jiang Fan complain before that they hardly made any money and even needed the group to subsidize them.

"How large is the scale you mentioned?"

"The construction land is about seventy or eighty acres."

Tang Jingwan thought for a moment and said, "Because it was done early, it seems to have been approved around 08. At that time, the quotas were relatively lenient and the land prices were also very cheap. Now, this company's fixed assets alone exceed 1.5 million yuan, which is already considered one of the top companies in Xishu Town."

"Would Director Tang be interested in helping me with such a project?"

Seeing that Jiang Yuanshan hadn't intimidated Tang Jingwan, Luo Yang steered the conversation back on track: "For example, a hot spring resort, along with some boutique restaurants and a high-end villa-style hotel."

"Does Mr. Luo want me to help him get the project off the ground, or is he planning to hire me to manage it?"

Now that things had come to this point, Tang Jingwan knew it was time to state her conditions.

Running projects and managing clubhouses are very different.

The former involves receiving a commission, which may be quite high, ranging from hundreds of thousands to even millions of yuan. However, this is a one-off deal, and Tang Jingwan also has to contribute her time and connections in addition to the money.

They might even lose their current job.

In any case, a civil service position is acceptable. With the position of deputy director, she now earns a guaranteed income of over 100,000 yuan a year, regardless of the circumstances. Asking her to quit her current job to do a one-off deal, or even to switch jobs to work for Luo Yang in business, wouldn't be much of a gain for her.

But the latter is different. Not only does she help Luo Yang secure the project and receive a commission, but she will also be in charge of management once the club is built. It's a respectable job, an easy position, and a stable income of around 200,000 yuan per year. That's a different story.

"I can give you two choices."

Luo Yang thought for a moment and said, "The first option is to help me secure the project. You will definitely receive a commission, and I will also place you under Dong Dawei. He is currently the vice president of Sunshine Cultural Tourism, but most of the time he is actually helping me handle miscellaneous matters in Yang City. During this period, my businesses are undergoing integration and adjustment. By the end of September, a separate consulting company will be established, and Dong Dawei will serve as the general manager. You can join this company and start as the public relations manager. I can guarantee that your monthly salary will not be less than 20,000 yuan."

"A consulting firm?"

Tang Jingwan's little antics never stopped, and Luo Yang was even starting to lose control.

But after hearing these words, he actually stopped.

This concerns her future prospects, so it definitely needs to be taken seriously.

"Yes, a consulting firm."

Luo Yang was happy to be relaxed and explained, "In Shanghai, companies that want to do mergers and acquisitions or enter a new field usually hire professional companies to conduct research. Consulting firms do this."

Actually, he put it simply.

More reputable consulting firms cover a wide range of services.

For example, in strategic consulting, consulting firms can help companies develop clear development strategies in market competition, including market analysis, competitor analysis, and business model design.

Our services also include organizational management consulting, which helps companies optimize their internal organizational structure, processes, and management systems to improve operational efficiency and management level; human resources consulting, which provides comprehensive human resources solutions, including recruitment, training, and performance appraisal; marketing consulting, which helps companies enhance their market competitiveness and achieve sales targets, including market research and brand positioning; and technology consulting, which helps companies solve technical problems and promote innovation and technological progress.

A broader range of consulting services also includes financial consulting, which helps companies make sound financial decisions and improve their financial management efficiency and financial condition; crisis management consulting, which helps companies prevent and respond to various crises and protect their reputation and interests; and planning consulting, which helps companies develop long-term and development plans to ensure their steady progress in the future.

They even offer innovation consulting services to help companies, covering areas such as promoting innovation and reform, and improving their innovation capabilities and competitiveness.

However, since Luo Yang placed the consulting firm in Yang City, the scope of business did not need to be so extensive, and in fact, it largely deviated from the proper scope of work.

The company's main business will come from Luo Yang's own industries.

For example, if Zhengyang Group wants to expand its new factory area, it will outsource all the work, from preliminary research to land approval procedures, to this company.

To put it simply, it's essentially Luo Yang's external liaison service company for all industries in Yang City.

"The second option is also to help me secure the project, and you'll receive a commission. Then you'll provide services related to the entire clubhouse construction. Once the project is completed, you'll help me operate the clubhouse. As for the income..."

Luo Yang smiled and said, "It won't be less than 2 a month. Since this club is not mainly for external business, I will consider how to set the year-end bonus. Of course, I'm not making empty promises, it will be at least 10 per year."

"It could be even higher, right?"

Tang Jingwan looked at Luo Yang with burning eyes.

Ok?
In that instant, Luo Yang felt his hand, which was pressed against the woman's cheek, become hot.
