After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 341 Resettlement Housing

There were many more people this time when we came to see the land.

Guo Guanchang was accompanied by more than a dozen people.

On Zhou Haoran's side, there were also seven or eight people: Li Changxing, Jiang Xiong, Luo Jing, Sheng Wenwan, Ji Yingyang, Sun Xinghuo, Wang Xinhe, and Zhou Kangde.

Sun Xinghuo is the fellow disciple of the Dream of the Red Chamber who hangs out on the streets of Xuhui.

Tall and strong.

He also has tattoos.

It's very intimidating.

Wang Xinhe is an elder, a well-known and wealthy businessman in his hometown of Yangguan County. His son, Wang Wenrui, was Zhou Haoran's class monitor in high school and is now studying at Peking University. They were good high school classmates who even sold books together after graduation.

Fuxing Company is very powerful.

But these days, the financial market is very underdeveloped, and there are few investment funds to raise capital. Guo Guanchang's eagerness to push Fosun Pharma to go public is actually because he wants to raise several hundred million yuan from the stock market so that he can gather funds to invest in real estate.

Zhou Haoran was worried that Fuxing did not have enough funds in its accounts.

Or perhaps Guo deliberately lowered the price.

He used his high school class monitor's connections to bring his father, Wang Xinhe, over. His family had recently been involved in a real estate project in Yangguan County.

As for Zhou Kangde...

This goes without saying.

He is Zhou Haoran's third uncle, his father's younger brother, and previously worked in a state-owned construction company as a construction site supervisor.

You can also pull it over.

"Uncle, what did you ask me to do here?"

Sun Xinghuo followed by him with a miserable expression.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Haoran glanced at him. "You want to be a security guard in nightclubs for the rest of your life?"

Sun Xinghuo said, "This is all I know how to do."

Zhou Haoran snorted, "Is this all you've got? Although I've never met your father, I've known that senior brother of mine for many years. How can you live up to your father's expectations by messing around like this?"

Sun Xinghuo said nonchalantly, "My dad can't control me."

Zhou Haoran said angrily, "Then I'll take care of it!"

"Uncle, what you're doing..."

Sun Xinghuo was very unhappy, and his expression was no longer so respectful.

Zhou Haoran knew this guy was unruly, so he immediately tried to bribe him, "How much do you earn a month as a security guard at a nightclub? Tens or eight thousand at most, right? You're satisfied with that little bit of money?"

"what?"

Sun Xinghuo's eyes lit up.

Zhou Haoran said, "Working as a security guard in a nightclub, no matter how many henchmen you have, you're still just a nobody. Who among the big shots would even look at you? Come here, put on a suit and tie, and you'll be the deputy general manager. Then, you'll be called 'General Manager Sun,' wouldn't that be much more prestigious?"

"Uncle, do you need me?"

Sun Xinghuo looked incredulous.

Zhou Haoran chuckled and said, "You didn't think I sent you here to be my bodyguard, did you?"

"But I can't do anything..."

Sun Xinghuo's tone and demeanor softened immediately.

Zhou Haoran didn't take it to heart. "After you come here, just do what you're good at."

"what?"

"Once the real estate project starts and a construction team is found, you, as the client's representative, will be responsible for on-site management and supervision."

"Oh, so I'm here to look after the place!"

Sun Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief and laughed heartily.

He can do that!

Zhou Haoran said, "You represent the client, you have status and position, it's not the same as being a security guard in a nightclub."

Sun Xinghuo asked in a low voice, "What about my underlings?"

Zhou Haoran said, "You can bring them all."

"Really?"

Sun Xinghuo was overjoyed. He was a righteous and proud man. He could leave without a care in the world, but he was not at ease with his long-time followers.

I didn't expect my uncle to have arranged all of this.

He truly is a great man!
awesome!

Zhou Haoran pointed to the northwest corner, "There's also an open space over there, you can see it too."

"Ah."

Sun Xinghuo was puzzled.

Zhou Haoran narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "They're also building a housing development over there, and the progress is estimated to be similar to this one. When it comes to selling the houses, they'll be in competition with each other."

Sun Xinghuo laughed and said, "I understand, it means we need a security team to prevent competitors from causing trouble!"

Zhou Haoran nodded. "You can understand it that way."

Sun Xinghuo said, "I understand that. It's the same principle in the nightclub business. Competitors are enemies. Many times, in order to steal business, competitors will send people over to smash things and cause trouble, which will scare away the customers."

“Yes, the principles of doing business are all the same.” Zhou Haoran also painted a rosy picture for him, “If you’re interested in the nightclub business, once the real estate project is successful, we can build an entertainment complex and you can be the boss! A gentleman from the Red Chamber becoming a security guard? You might not feel ashamed, but I do!”

"hey-hey!"

Sun Xinghuo's face lit up with a rosy glow.

……

The reasons why Li Changxing was able to acquire this land are complex.

They agreed to many conditions.

The three most important conditions. First, to provide jobs for the workers in the printing plant;

Second, build a re-employment center for laid-off workers.

And there's the most important third point.

The plan is to sell 500 apartments to laid-off workers in Xuhui District at a price 20%-30% lower than the market price, as "resettlement housing" to maintain social stability.

That's how they acquired the land for free.

But it's not over yet.

The land is designated for industrial use, and even after being acquired for free, it remains designated for industrial use. To convert it to commercial use, a compensation fee for the change of land use designation must be paid. The price of commercial land is significantly higher than that of industrial land.

The agreed-upon condition was that Zhongbo Real Estate would invest 1500 million yuan to change the nature of the 32 mu of land.

Therefore, there are many things to consider when calculating project costs.

For example, construction and installation costs.

Construction costs mainly consist of civil engineering costs, including steel reinforcement, concrete, masonry, and labor costs. Currently, the real estate market is not yet fully market-driven and is still in the pilot stage, so materials and labor are extremely cheap.

A laborer earns only 10 yuan a day.

The master craftsman only earns 20 yuan.

Overall, the construction cost is about 250-300 yuan per meter.

This development will have 1200 apartments in 6 buildings, with a total construction area of ​​over 8 square meters.

Including the installation costs of water, electricity, HVAC, fire protection, elevators, and other facilities, as well as the cost of interior decoration in public areas, the total construction cost of the project is approximately 3000 million yuan.

The project list has already been completed.

In addition, there are also green facilities such as roads, greening, lighting, and pipelines within the community, as well as community service rooms, property management rooms, and parking spaces, with a total cost of 500 million yuan.

There are also project management fees of 500 million yuan.

The initial investment costs mainly consisted of these: "land cost + 4000 million".

The cost of the land certainly cannot be priced at 1500 million.

After Zhongbo Real Estate acquires the land, the land price will be calculated according to the market price.

Based on normal land prices in Xuhui District, commercial land in this area would cost at least 2100 yuan per square meter, equivalent to 140 million yuan per mu. 32 mu of land would cost a total of 4500 million yuan.

This brings the total cost to 8500 million yuan.

Including the construction of a re-employment center for laid-off workers, which will cost 500 million yuan, the total cost is 9000 million yuan!

After deducting the land cost of 4500 million yuan, the actual development cost was only 4500 million yuan.

The building has a floor area of ​​8 square meters.

Even at 5000 yuan per square meter, after deducting the discounts for some resettlement housing, the total value of the property can still reach 3.5 million yuan!
The profits are huge!

It is far superior to real estate projects that have seen a significant increase in various costs due to fierce market competition after housing reform.

Guo Guanchang was very interested, and even his classmate's father, Wang Xinhe, wanted to participate.

Next comes the negotiation stage.

The total cost is 9000 million yuan.

We can't raise funds based on this amount, can we?
Zhou Haoran made a decisive statement: "Mr. Guo is my alumnus, and Mr. Wang is my fellow townsman. They are not outsiders. So I've decided that this project will be worth 1 million yuan. I plan to give up 35% and raise 3500 million yuan."

Wang Xinhe was still calculating the accounts.

Guo Guanchang immediately and decisively stated, "I think it's okay, let's do it your way!"

Mr. Wang was so astonished that his eyes almost popped out of his head.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "No rush. Let's go back and study it slowly. How about this weekend? Let's get together again and come up with a definite answer. We're all family here, so we can discuss any issues."

The next day, Guo Guanchang invited him for tea.

Actively try to get closer to them.

"So Changxing Publishing House is yours! I was wondering who could make a private publishing house a model to be promoted! It turns out it's you!"

Guo Guanchang's intention to be close to Guo was quite obvious.

Zhou Haoran also wanted to befriend him, and said with a smile, "Zhongbo Bookstore is in the cultural industry, but if you want to make money, you still have to rely on real estate."

"I looked at the conditions for the resettlement housing, and there are loopholes!"

Guo Guanchang frowned.

Zhou Haoran silently sipped his tea, then smiled and asked, "What loophole?"

“Current housing prices are too high. Selling houses to laid-off workers at discounted prices is appropriate and is a compensatory policy that many places have introduced under the wave of state-owned enterprise reform.”

Guo Guanchang is also in the real estate business and is aware of similar claims.

"Reform brings both pain and benefits," Zhou Haoran bluntly stated. "For laid-off workers, it's pain. For real estate developers, it's a windfall. Without this resettlement housing policy, acquiring such land would be extremely difficult."

"These are all negotiable..." Guo Guanchang lowered his voice, as if afraid of being overheard, "The 500 resettlement houses will be handled by the official departments?"

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "It's not them who handles it, it's them who approves the documents. We are a company, how would we know who is a laid-off worker from a state-owned enterprise and who isn't? We need a certificate issued by the government. Laid-off workers can enjoy a 20%-30% discount on resettlement housing subsidies when they bring the relevant certificate to buy a house."

"That's the problem!"

Guo Guanchang shook his head.

Zhou Haoran remained calm and asked, "What's wrong?"

Guo Guanchang said with great concern, “Providing some preferential treatment and benefits to laid-off workers is the right thing to do. But I’m afraid that some departments will abuse their power and quotas. The real laid-off workers have to go through all sorts of connections and still can’t get a layoff certificate. Meanwhile, those who are well-off and have jobs get the certificate because they have inside connections and come here to buy resettlement housing.”

"Oh."

Zhou Haoran remained calm.

"Isn't this a vulnerability?"

Guo Guanchang squinted at him.

Zhou Haoran chuckled, "If it weren't for the loopholes, this land wouldn't have been ours! We should just turn a blind eye to these kinds of things!"
