I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 232, Section 231: Even a loss-making deal is good; at least it built a beautiful scenic area for Nanxin.
First of all, this project is profitable.

The later Biyuan Garden has proven this point.

Also, now that I've resigned from the bank, I'm idle. Besides fishing and drinking tea, what else can I do?
Moreover, the little money I have now is enough to get by in the county town, but in a big city like Shanghai, apart from investing in startups like Ele.me and Dajiang, I can't do anything significant.

In county towns, apart from monopolistic industries, real estate is considered the best, and it will have at least another ten years of glory!

However, there are many difficulties in developing real estate.

The biggest problem he faces is that he doesn't own a qualified real estate company!

If we're going to do it, we can only do it by cooperating with others.

Fang Qingye was pondering this when his phone rang again. He saw that it was Bai Ou calling and answered it.

"Ye Zi, how about we go see a movie tonight? They say Avatar is pretty good," Bai Ou said on the phone.

"Aren't you going to your maternal grandmother's house in Jinghai?" Fang Qingye asked back.

"I'm home."

“Alright then, I’ll go buy the tickets.” Fang Qingye immediately agreed. Although he had seen it in his previous life, he was willing to watch it again with the girl.

“I’ve already bought the tickets. It’s for 8 PM at the Cultural Road Cinema. I’ll wait for you at the entrance of your apartment complex at 7:30,” the girl said.

"Don't rush." ​​Fang Qingye suddenly thought of something: "Come over early, at seven o'clock, I'll take you somewhere."

"Where?"

"Come here and I'll tell you."

"Okay, see you tonight!"

After dinner, Fang Qingye checked the time and it was almost seven o'clock. She told her mother that she was going to see a movie with Bai Ou, then hurriedly went downstairs, drove her Mercedes out of the community, and parked it on the side of the road at the entrance to wait.

A few minutes later, a girl wearing a white down jacket, a red scarf, and a red woolen hat walked over, looking very cute.

"White lotus root!"

When the girl saw him, her eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter: "Yezi, it's only a short walk to the movie theater, why are you driving?"

"You forgot? I said I was going to take you somewhere. Get in the car!"

The two got into the car, and Fang Qingye turned the car around and drove southeast. Twenty minutes later, she stopped on the side of the road.

Bai Ou looked around at the surroundings and asked in surprise, "Huh? Why did you bring me to Nanxin Lake?"

"I'll tell you when I get down."

Bai Ou had no choice but to get off the bus with him. It was past seven o'clock in the evening, and it was already dark. This place was on the edge of the city. On one side was a lake, and on the other side were wheat and rapeseed fields. Under the dim streetlights, it looked somewhat desolate.

"Bai Ou, what do you think about developing real estate here? It's right next to Nanxin Lake, with beautiful scenery."

Upon hearing Fang Qingye say the scenery was beautiful, Bai Ou couldn't help but laugh: "What's so beautiful about it? This is clearly just a stinky reservoir."

"What if this stinky reservoir were transformed into a scenic area with sparkling blue waters?" Fang Qingye countered.

"That's great! But who will build it?"

"I."

"You?" The girl looked at Fang Qingye in surprise.

"Yes! The scenic area will be named Nanxin Lake Scenic Area. After it's completed, it will be handed over to the county. Of course, it won't be handed over for nothing; I want the land in the northwest corner!"

"Ah? I see. You want to build a scenic area, improve the surrounding environment, and thus boost property prices in the area, right?" Bai Ou immediately realized this. "Smart."

Why did you suddenly have this idea?

Fang Qingye told Bai Ou everything she had seen in the news at noon that day, about going to the Great World to sing karaoke, about meeting Hu Hao, the manager of Country Garden, about their plans to buy land, and about her thoughts.

"What? Yezi, Dahai asked you to go to those places? He's so mean! I'm going to tell Meimei!" Bai Ou said angrily.

"No, no, Dahai told me not to let Chen Meimei know." Fang Qingye was shocked: "Besides, I just went to sing a song, I didn't do anything else."

Bai Ou suddenly laughed: "I was just kidding with you. I'm not that kind of gossip. Besides, it's normal for men to play along."

Fang Qingye didn't want to dwell on the issue, so she asked, "What do you think of my idea just now?"

When it came to serious matters, Bai Ou immediately became serious. She thought for a moment before saying, "Since Biyuan also values ​​this place, it means it has great potential for appreciation. However, for you, there are several problems."

"You said."

"First of all, you don't have a real estate company yourself. You either need to cooperate with a qualified company or buy a real estate company, but I think the latter is unrealistic."

"Also, you said you'd develop Nanxin Lake for free, but what exactly will it look like, and how much will be invested? More importantly, can you recoup that initial investment through subsequent real estate development? This is a crucial question that you need to carefully calculate, otherwise you'll be making a losing deal."

"However, even if it's a loss-making deal, at least you've built a beautiful scenic area for Nanxin, and the people of Nanxin will thank you!"

Hearing the girl's slightly teasing tone, Fang Qingye also joked, "If it really comes to that, it would be good too; it would be a contribution to our hometown."

"Alright, alright, I'm not kidding anymore. You should think this through carefully," Bai Ou said finally.

"I know, but I'm asking you, Bai Ou, do you support me in doing this project?" Fang Qingye asked.

"I support you, but there's nothing I can do to help."

"Your support is enough! Come on, get in the car, let's go see a movie!"

Fang Qingye has been thinking about this matter for the past two days, including having a heated discussion with Bai Ou via voice chat on QQ.

"Ye Zi, putting aside your qualifications for now, you first need to consider how much investment is required to renovate Nanxin Lake. Shouldn't you find someone to plan it out?"

"Yes, we need to find a planning company."

Although Fang Qingye remembered the general appearance of the scenic area from later generations, it was impossible to implement a plan based solely on memory without on-site measurement and scientific evaluation.

“I heard my dad mention that our county had a plan a few years ago to build a park here. You could take a look,” Bai Ou said, remembering something.

“Yes, that’s a good idea.” Fang Qingye nodded. “But I don’t know anyone at the Development and Reform Commission.”

"I'll ask my dad," Bai Ou said, then suddenly remembered something: "Why ask my dad? Ask your second uncle! He's the director of the finance bureau, he'll definitely know him!"

Actually, finding planning documents is simpler; you can just contact Miao Hongbin directly. He used to be the director of the planning bureau, and one phone call is all it takes for someone to deliver the planning documents.

But Fang Qingye didn't want to do that.

Before he figured out how much investment to make and decided to go ahead with it, he didn't want to approach any leaders, including his second uncle.

Why make such a fuss when nothing's even started?

Fang Qingye told Bai Ou about her idea, and the girl agreed.

"Then let's ask our classmates for help? Or should we ask Liu Dong first? See if he knows anyone at the Development and Reform Commission?"

"Okay, I'll call him after I get to work."
