Mixed in 1980

Chapter 241 Where are the special forces?

Zeng Ali narrowed his eyes and glanced at Miss Zhao: "Chen Fan will definitely be happy if the goods are delivered to his door. Go quickly and don't keep Chen Fan waiting for too long."

Miss Zhao was slightly stunned and gave up decisively.

I can't deliver the goods to the door. It will ruin Qiu'er's good fortune and I will be punished later.

After taking a sip from the teacup, Miss Zhao said, "Sister, you haven't gotten pregnant in such a long time. Why don't you two find time to go for a check-up? You're so tired from all the hassles every day."

Zeng Ali picked up the pillow and threw it at him: "You are shameless, you just say whatever you want."

"There's nothing we can't talk about."

Miss Zhao caught the pillow, changed her position, and sat down next to her elder sister: "Eldest sister, if I get pregnant now, do I not have to start a business?"

Reaching out his finger and poking Zhao Yuanyuan on the head, Zeng Ali scolded with a smile: "Don't be lazy again. Hasn't there been any progress in the research and development of skin care products recently?"

The skin care products are copied from La Mer.

This product, which extracts active ingredients from deep-sea giant kelp, was launched after the new century. Chen Fan planned to get in on the act, so he approached universities and medical institutions to collaborate on research and development.

Wait until the product is successfully developed before launching it on the market.

Zhao Yuanyuan leaned into her elder sister's arms and rubbed her body a few times: "I am lazy to begin with, and I don't feel a sense of accomplishment when starting a business. There is nothing more exciting than making money from futures."

"How long can futures be played? Chen Fan plans to settle and leave the market after the period. Your investment is not large, so even if it increases tenfold, it will probably be just that."

"It's a lot, tens of millions of dollars."

Zhao Yuanyuan narrowed her eyes, showing her little fangs: "It's all your fault. Why start a business? If you use this money to buy a few houses, I can be a salted fish for the rest of my life."

Zeng Ali said unhappily, "Can you be a little more ambitious? Keep busy for a year or two, and then you can change your name to Zhao Yiyi, Zhao Shiyi, or Zhao Baiyi!"

"Chen Fan is not as good as you at making cakes!"

Miss Zhao curled her lips and muttered to herself, what's the use of having so much money?

You can't bring anything with you when you are born and you can't take anything with you when you die, so you might as well live every day comfortably. Chen Fan has the same idea. His focus is on life, so he has been a little busy recently.

Thinking of this, Miss Zhao began to ponder.

The product hasn't been launched yet, so we're only busy with research and development. Once it's actually launched, there will be more things to do, and we'll have to quickly recruit assistants, secretaries, and vice presidents.

Learn from Chen Fan and leave things to the cattle and horses!
I picked up the phone and called the company, instructing the HR department to start recruiting. The economy was in recession, and there were many industry big names roaming the job market.

After hanging up the phone, Miss Zhao took out the brand plan and studied it over and over again until the setting sun shone into the living room.

The next day, Zhao Yuanyuan went back to the company to recruit and asked Xu Jinqiu to help. Since they were idle anyway, they might as well find something to do. This made Xu Jinqiu so angry that she gritted her teeth.

She dropped her work to accompany Chen Fan, but Zhao Yuanyuan asked her to conscript him: "I owed you in my last life."

Miss Zhao doesn’t care. Who made you my sister?
After a busy day, Miss Zhao didn't feel anything, but Xu Jinqiu was exhausted: "Zhao Yuanyuan, you did this on purpose, didn't you? Leave everything to me. I won't go tomorrow."

"I'll tie you up!"

Miss Zhao didn't care. She was used to it since she was a child. No matter what she did, her two sisters would accompany her. To be more precise, they spoiled her.

Even though Xu Jinqiu said she was unhappy, she came running over to help the next day.

"Chen Fan, how about we go get a checkup?"

In comparison, Zeng Ali felt a little upset, especially after Xu Jinqiu and Zhao Yuanyuan mentioned it, she always felt that there was something wrong with her health.

Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Comrade Ali, calculate how long it has been since you decided to have a child? It's less than three months at most."

"Three months is not a short time."

"Sister, can you please be reasonable? Many people get married three or four years before having a child. Ours is only three months old. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Brother, no one is as hardworking as you!"

"What does it have to do with diligence? It's just that the fate has not arrived yet, and God has not selected the strongest special forces soldier for our family." Chen Fan teased.

Zeng Ali asked confusedly: "What special forces?"

Chen Fan told the story of the "special forces" and Zeng Ali almost laughed to death: "There are a lot of twisted theories. In the end, it's still because your soldiers are not good enough."

“……” Chen Fan was speechless.

The one who hit the target was the sniper: "You are just too anxious. There is no need to put pressure on yourself. We are still young. You are only 24 years old."

"24 is still young? Some of my high school classmates have children who are already five or six years old."

Hearing this, Chen Fan smiled bitterly.

I can only work overtime to appease this woman. She won't rest until she gets pregnant this year.

He just couldn't understand, could the child be that good?
He had a child in his previous life, but he was a rebellious son. When he thought of his son before he died, Chen Fan wished he had shot him off target when he was young and hit the wall to save some trouble.

After comforting his wife, Chen Fan returned to work.

Ma Xifeng acted quickly, making large purchases in the land market one after another, and had almost spent the 1 million US dollars he had just borrowed.

The money was all lent to the company by Chen Fan!
The new financial officer, Fan Wenfang, reviewed the company's financial situation and was shocked to find that the company had already accumulated a lot of debts before any of its projects had even started.

A lot of land was acquired, but the money was all borrowed.

Even if all the parts of the company's owners were dismantled and sold, it would still not be enough to pay off the debt.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the creditor is the boss. "Five more plots of land were bought, one of which was an unfinished project. The framework had already been built. This company is really unlucky."

When Fann Wong saw the information, she couldn't help laughing.

The house pre-sale system appeared in Hong Kong as early as the 1979s, and by , the pre-sale model had become very mature.

That was also the time when housing prices were rising the most.

This project started construction in 1979. After the construction started, housing prices have been rising. The company has sufficient funds and does not adopt pre-sales at all. After the construction is completed, the housing prices will continue to rise.

This was indeed the case in the past few years. From the start of construction to the end of 1981, housing prices more than doubled, with the selling price per square foot reaching more than HK$1500.

But the market collapsed in 82 and the project was left unfinished!

The project, which could have made a lot of money from pre-sales, ended up causing the developer to lose everything. When Ma Xifeng went to negotiate, he only spent money on the land price and construction costs.

The construction cost was even discounted!

This piece of land is not small. It is located in Sai Kung District and covers an area of 50 acres. There are 10 buildings built on it, all of which are 20-story buildings.

This is the building...

Fann Wong was a little confused. There were more than a dozen households on one floor, and each household was about 30 square meters. It felt like a slum in the capital, without any of the grandeur of a building.

Although the residential complex built by the Beijing Foundation has not been completed yet, I was allocated an apartment. It is a large three-bedroom apartment of over 100 square meters, which is really grand.

The houses here are just snail houses!
I discussed this issue with Ma Xifeng, who rolled his eyes at me: "Sister, this is Hong Kong, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money."

"More than 30 square meters is considered large."

"There are coffin houses and pigeon houses of a few square meters or more than ten square meters everywhere. It's only in the past two years when the real estate market collapsed that people think they are cheap. I should have tried it two years earlier."

"It costs more than HK$1000 per foot, and more than HK$10000 per square meter. Without a loan, how many people can afford a 30-square-meter house?"

At this point, Fann Wong had a certain understanding of the living environment of Hong Kong people. They all looked glamorous, rich, and had high incomes, but their housing was really not good.

At the same time, you can also feel that the boss is really generous.

This group of people who came here together were all arranged to live in houses of more than 70 square meters, which are considered luxury homes in Hong Kong. After working for 5 years, the house will be theirs.

These houses were all bought by investment companies.

The 9.2 million Hong Kong dollars that the foundation absorbed at that time were all used to buy houses. Buying houses is cheap now, with the price at 400-500 per square foot. A house of more than 70 square meters only costs more than 30 Hong Kong dollars.

However, there are not many houses larger than 70 square meters on the market. Most of the houses acquired by investment companies are 20-40 square meters, and there are thousands of houses in their possession.

After two years, when housing prices go up, you can sell some of the houses to balance the account, and the remaining houses will fall into your pocket.

An investment company can transform itself into a landlord.

Being a landlord in Hong Kong has a very promising future. For example, Wu Zongquan, the future No. 15000 landlord in Hong Kong, owns houses and has an annual rental income of to billion Hong Kong dollars.

There are many similar people.

All the wealthy people and families who will be ranked high in Hong Kong in the future own a large number of properties. The rental income alone is enough for ordinary people to look up to them for a lifetime.

Of course Chen Fan also had such an idea.

How great it is to be a landlord. When you wake up every day, you don’t have to do anything. Just close your eyes and open them again, and you’ll have a large sum of rent coming in.

In addition to the properties acquired by Xinghuo Investment Company, Chen Fan also owns a number of luxury homes, and the property rights of the supermarket are also registered under Xu Jinqiu's name.

The acquisition of the supermarket's property rights is nearing completion.

The whole process was very smooth. It was nothing more than a slight price increase. There was an opportunity to sell. Not many people would hold on to their stocks and were all looking for a way out.

In addition, after receiving US$8000 million, the acquisition process did not stop, and 8 more supermarkets were acquired, bringing the number of supermarkets to 64.

Once the integration is completed, it will become a retail giant in Hong Kong.

The pace of supermarket acquisitions has also stopped. For Hong Kong at present, 64 chains are enough, and in the future it should focus on newly developed communities.

"Soon!"

As of October, all the processes that the supermarket needed to integrate have been completed. All that needs to be done next step is to follow the procedures, and it is expected to be completed by the end of next year.

Chen Fan doesn't need to follow up on the rest of the matters.

The supermarket currently has three deputy general managers. In addition to Jiang Dawei and Zhao Libin who were brought in from the mainland, it also recruited a big name in the industry, Jiang Meizhen.

The senior executives of Wellcome Supermarket were recruited through headhunters.

After Jiang Meizhen joined, the efficiency of supermarket integration was significantly accelerated. It can be seen that this time the poaching was really correct.

Chen Fan closed the document, stretched, looked at his watch and went straight home.

As soon as I got home, I was kicked by Zeng Ali.

Before he could ask her what was wrong, Zeng Ali was so angry that she grabbed his arm and bit it hard: "My period is here again, where are your special forces soldiers?"

“……” Chen Fan was stunned.

It took a while to sort out the relationship between my aunt and the special forces soldier, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Wife, you have to believe that being eliminated is not the best, just wait a little longer!"
