My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 266 Everyone Wants the Game to Restart

Hong Kong businessmen, especially the top wealthy ones, must have been approached by someone to discuss doing business in mainland China.

But they must be in contact with various masters.

They definitely patted their chests and said, "You know so-and-so? I had dinner with him yesterday. I'll invite him over when we get to Pingjing."

Even if we are more pragmatic, we still have to decide who we are going to deal with and how we are going to do it.

The idea is to get people on board, which is definitely a must in the mainland market.

But none of them are pure businessmen.

If any business in a market must first win over people, then this market has fallen into a huge cost trap from the start.

It is not an excellent and reasonable market.

At least in such a blank stage, you have to get people to do it, and the risk is too unpredictable.

Even when HK was just starting out, it had to deal with foreigners, foreign companies, etc., but at least there was still some hope for basic market competition.

Private business owners also have some opportunities to compete with government-run and foreign businesses.

Now, just as Rang Weidong said, Jiangzhou, as a pilot area, has no private entrepreneur to serve as a role model, so it has to create one quickly.

Therefore, anyone in the country who can do business in HK at this time is no longer an ordinary person.

None of them wanted Weidong to start his business like an ordinary businessman.

It is estimated that Chi Shiming is the only one who can be recognized by this model, but he still needs several years of accumulation before he can succeed.

Now Weidong is the only one.

These old rich people can understand all the business details he talked about.

I know he is a businessman.

Rather than those capable people who seem to be loyal and capable of doing anything today, because the businessman knows that he can use himself as a whetstone tomorrow.

Real businessmen actually don’t like to work with people who crush the rules.

Firstly, it won't last long. God knows when he will be crushed by someone more powerful. Secondly, cooperating with someone who has the power to overturn the rules is like trying to get the skin of a tiger.

It also depends on how Weidong does it so naturally that they will accept it.

This guy is so down-to-earth: "Fuck, I can't collect the mortgage. There's no credit reporting system in the mainland. So I thought of a way. My company will buy all the money first, and then deduct it from the employees' wages every month..."

Several people applauded and cheered.

It’s not that the idea is so brilliant, but that this is the method they approve of.

When encountering a problem, we should use flexible methods to solve it instead of looking for someone to solve it or asking the Legislative Yuan to change the rules. This is a joint approach that should only be adopted as a last resort.

This also fully demonstrated that Rang Weidong was not the awesome person they had met before.

The more arrogant a person is, the more they fear him.

So he asked without the arrogance of a billionaire: "So what are the current regulations, um, what are the mainland's policies?"

Weidong was very frank. He didn't think it was a secret. Besides, didn't the higher-ups have all the control and interpretation rights? "You have to understand that before, there was no such thing as real estate in the entire mainland. Houses and land belonged to the state. When you became a state-owned enterprise employee, the state-owned enterprise would allocate housing to you."

One senior official scoffed, "Isn't this the same as the public housing system and the low-rent housing system? Officials also live in such shabby houses?"

Weidong witnessed it firsthand: "Yes, there's actually not much difference. Aside from a very small number of high-ranking officials who have nannies or housekeepers, even leaders of my prefecture-level city, with a population of seven million, don't live in luxurious housing. There's no difference. No lavish decorations, no advanced and expensive appliances. Even if you gave me a few empty rooms, I wouldn't bother to clean them up. This is all related to what I said before about not allowing individuals to run businesses. In short, the housing market was almost non-existent before."

Qin Yuye was listening attentively, and couldn't help but try to speak simply in Mandarin: "So... a low-desire society?"

Only after I said it did I regret how I had overstepped the mark.

Weidong paused. "In a sense, yes, everyone should work together to invest in construction... But in reality, motivation gradually wore off, people started eating from the same pot and slacking off, so that's why the reforms are happening. The workers in my factory are considered among the first in the city—I don't know if they're the first in the country—to buy commercial housing. The total price of the housing is about 200 months' salary for an average person, but my workers make ten times that, so they're very enthusiastic. This is just less than two years' income."

Some capitalists even said, "That's too high! Your salary is too high."

Another was even more shameless: "Then raise the housing prices even more. Xiaodong, you have to understand that the situation will not improve if you give more. Human greed is endless. You have to control me firmly."

My God, Qin Yuye heard it, this was the teachings of the old capitalist to the small capitalist.

This big boy has been regarded as one of them!

Her brother struggled for twenty or thirty years but never became such a person. Perhaps Qin Zhiming was never a cold-blooded capitalist. At most, he was cunning, but not to the point of being cold-blooded and ruthless in harvesting every penny.

The reason for letting Weidong in was because he already had a unique first-mover advantage. Just as he saw Chi Shiming's privileges of traveling between two places as precious from the mainland, the capitalists, in turn, saw him as a backpacker who had already established a foothold in the mysterious and closed mainland market.

Not to mention earning every penny, Rang Weidong deliberately pondered, as if absorbing this kind of guidance and experience, and then nodded seriously: "I have to try it slowly. You don't know that I once gave 50% of the profits to the sales staff, but I soon found that I was giving too much. Their income easily reached 40 times or 50 times that of ordinary people. I quickly and quietly reduced it, but they immediately resisted!"

The old rich men laughed out loud, "Interesting, very interesting, very similar to when we first started, right? Back then, when we climbed up to the Makan Wharf and used bamboo poles to build a site, and when we hired people to work for us, we also paid high prices."

The old friend complained, "When they rushed over to smash the shop in anger, you jumped into the water and ran away, leaving me with a black eye and a swollen face!"

In remembrance.

The other person nodded. "That's right. There are no references at this stage. You have to try everything yourself. But now you have us to give you advice."

Weidong immediately understood the solicitation: "Well, this is a great honor, but I must emphasize that the rules in the mainland are different from here... At least to this day, land cannot be transferred, and private companies are temporarily prohibited from operating real estate. For example, this time I acquired a 100,000 square meter plot of land and built a factory of approximately 130,000 square meters. I only occupy about one-third of the land. The remaining area is for building housing for employees, but I require that it be built so that they can be sold to employees. That's fine, but you can't do this in the name of a real estate company. Currently, I'm entrusting the municipal real estate development company to build it."

The capitalists became excited: "Yes! Just approach it little by little, but don't be too obvious."

"Fix it, make it beautiful, and get this done!"

"Do you have enough money? I'll invest. I don't want to make money, but I want to complete this model project first."

Some people also wondered: "You spent one-third of the 100,000 square meter plot of land to build a 130,000 square meter factory building. What are you going to do with a three-story building? Either build an industrial building with five or six floors, or just an ordinary single-story factory building..."

This person must build houses frequently and likes to build houses.

Let Weidong pick up the cards on the table and build it: "I will gradually enlarge it in a step-like shape..."

The old real estate developers were amused and said: "This is not how you build a house, this is how you should do it here!"

"Hahaha, don't talk about him. You were just as reckless as me back then..."

"That's right, we really didn't have any money back then, so we could only repair it bit by bit..."

"You still have to build a building, little brother. Only when you build a building can you be considered to have truly established a family and a career!"

Wei Dong remained calm. "Well, I'm in the center of Jiangzhou. I've invited an old photo studio from the Republican era to demolish the land they left behind from the public-private partnership, and the surrounding land deeds acquired by the craft factory. I'm planning to start the construction of a 20-story building by first building the podium, and then slowly build the high-rise buildings above..."

The old capitalists, real estate developers, and wealthy people were immediately shocked. "In the city center? In the best location? What's the reason for building this?"

"Your idea is brilliant. Yes, invest in this company and help them..."

"Hey, little brother, I think you are a bit self-taught. How did you come up with the idea of ​​cooperating with him to build a house, and then giving him one or two floors, and the rest are yours? This is the method I invented back then!"

"No, no, no, you gave him too much. You can't do this. It will raise the price in the future."

"At the beginning, you have to get the first building done first, and then negotiate the price. Isn't that what you did in the beginning?"

I wonder if they feel like starting over and playing with a new account!
Very positive and enthusiastic.

Forced Weidong to draw the location of the house in the center of Jiangzhou City.

After all, there are no satellite maps at the moment. Even if they can ask someone to immediately find a world map, a mainland map, or even a Sichuan Province map, it will be difficult to find the latest distribution of Jiangzhou City Center, and they can only draw it by hand.

Because of the Anti-Japanese War Memorial, Jiangzhou has an unquestionable center point, at least it was the absolute city center before the 1980s and 1990s.

The building is indeed very nice, being located two hundred meters away, but the capitalists have already set their sights on the area around the monument and have begun repeatedly asking what this place is, what buildings are there, and what it is like here.

So the final conclusion was: "Let's go to Jiangzhou with you to build houses, one for each family."

Qin Yuye was trembling slightly, out of excitement and anticipation, full of anticipation for the unknown future.

Qin Zhiming now has to bow his head, bend over, and hold his breath when dealing with these big guys.

Weidong said, "I'm not asking you for anything, so I'm very stubborn and dare to laugh and cry." "Fuck, if I bring this back, I'll be shot. This is called making a mistake. My building is just for testing. How can I suddenly tear down a large area and rebuild it? I have to cross the river by feeling the stones, step by step."

But he also felt that investment enthusiasm should not be discouraged: "Actually, you can build it in different places. Jiangzhou has several, all with district centers. If you are really interested, you can really go and build it."

The old capitalist saw through his little calculation at a glance: "Little brother, this habit of yours is very bad. Money should be shared by all. You can't just let yourself eat meat in the best place and then trick us into going to other places to drink soup."

Wei Dong simply shirked responsibility: "Why don't you go and negotiate on your own? I'll just help introduce people. Generally speaking, Jiangzhou's investment environment is still good, but I first recommend opening a factory. If there's no business, what's the point of building these buildings? There won't be that many people staying in the hotel."

Everyone calmed down a little.

But I also feel that this young man is not fooling people.

At this time, the office door was knocked and pushed open.
