Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 135 500 Mu of Land! (Third Update!)
Before Xue Hongchang could react, Zhou Tianming pointed his chin at Lin Yi:
"Tell Secretary Xue, what was the total transaction amount for your exhibition a couple of days ago?"

In just a few words, Zhou Tianming had piqued Xue Hongchang's curiosity.

Under their gazes, Lin Yi held up three fingers and calmly replied:

"3.74."

Upon hearing this number, Xue Hongchang's eyes widened immediately.

As the new year began, the entire district was busy compiling GDP data. According to the preliminary assessment of the comrades from the Statistics Bureau, the total GDP of Hanshan Temple District in 2009 was approximately 540 billion yuan.

3.74 million, rounded up, is roughly 1% of the GDP of Hanshan Temple city.

This……

Xue Hongchang slowly turned around, his gaze settling on Zhou Tianming. He nodded to Zhou Tianming, then turned to Lin Yi, giving him a kind and friendly smile.

"Not bad, young man."

After hearing his praise, Lin Yi's face first showed a hint of embarrassment, and then he said softly:
"Secretary Xue, there are still tens of millions of yuan to be allocated from that."

"Although the 3.74 million yuan transaction is all under Xiaomi Heavy Industry, several of the companies are located in other cities."

Upon hearing Lin Yi's explanation, Xue Hongchang waved his hand gently, his face calm: "It's alright, it's alright."

"Business is all about mutual exchange. Our Hanshan Temple area isn't very big, so it's normal for some companies to be located elsewhere."

"Don't worry too much."

After saying these words, his expression suddenly froze, and he turned his head to frantically search through the documents on his left.

After flipping through the documents for a while, he pulled one out from a large pile of files. It was a table with the title "Information on Commendation of Major Taxpayers".

Xue Hongchang's finger slid across the form for a while, and finally stopped in front of a name.

He raised his head, his eyes staring straight at Lin Yi, a gaze that was terrifying, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

After looking at it for a while, Xue Hongchang flipped the table over and showed the name on it to Lin Yi:

"Is this Xiaomi Heavy Industry Group First Construction Consulting Co., Ltd. also yours?"

"Yes!" Lin Yi nodded, readily admitting it.

The funds had all the necessary bank and tax procedures in order, and there was absolutely no flaw in the transaction.

If you want to find a weakness, you have to go to Iraq.

Given the state of Iraq, only a fool would go there.

Having received a clear answer, Xue Hongchang stood up from his chair, slapped Zhou Tianming's hand away, went to Lin Yi's side, circled him twice, and finally stood in front of Lin Yi, patting the young man on the shoulder with both hands.

The shot was taken with a bit of force, but Lin Yi's body didn't sway at all; he remained standing there straight, like a sculpture.

Seeing Lin Yi's expression, Xue Hongchang's smile widened, and then he turned to Zhou Tianming and said:
"I was wondering why this name looked so familiar; it turns out I've seen it before."

"Just two days ago, one of Mr. Lin's architectural consulting companies took on a big project in Iraq, and the business tax alone amounted to more than 500 million yuan."

After introducing himself to Zhou Tianming, Xue Hongchang returned to his desk, picked up the phone, and quickly dialed a number.

He gave a few instructions over the phone, then put the phone aside and came to Lin Yi again.

This time, Xue Hongchang's expression became much more amiable.

"Come here, sit here."

After settling them onto the sofa and serving them both a cup of tea, Xue Hongchang sat down opposite Lin Yi, holding his own cup of tea, and asked him with a smile:
"I heard from my colleagues that General Manager Lin has two more factories under construction."

"One is involved in the processing of special metal materials, and the other seems to be used to manufacture communication equipment."

When will these two factories be completed and topped out?

"The main structure will be completed around the end of March, and then it will take two months to install and debug the equipment. Production can begin in June." Lin Yi held up three fingers and repeated what he had told Zhou Tianming not long ago.

This timing made Xue Hongchang even more satisfied.

He put down his teacup, clapped his hands lightly, and then asked:
"What about the market? Which products does Mr. Lin plan to focus on with these two factories?"

Lin Yi didn't rush to answer the question, but instead gave Zhou Tianming a look.

Zhou Tianming received this signal with his eyes. He first secretly glanced at Xue Hongchang beside him, and after observing the expression on the other man's face, he winked at Lin Yi, signaling him to continue the conversation.

Following Zhou Tianming's prompting, Lin Yi spread his left hand with five fingers and counted softly on his right hand, counting on his fingers:
"The special metal processing plant mainly produces steel cables."

"We placed a research and development order with a foreign company, signed a contract, and are required to supply the goods to them in June."

"In my plan, another part of the factory area will be used mainly for the processing of special-shaped metal components."

"As for communication equipment, with our technology, we mainly produce feature phones for third-world countries."

"According to our market research, the special cable processing market alone is worth several billion yuan every year. If we add the processing of irregular special metal components, it should contribute about 2 billion yuan to the GDP every year."

"As for communication equipment, the market will be even larger. Conservatively estimated, it will be around 30 to 50 billion."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Hongchang raised his hands and then clapped.

Amidst the applause, there was also his praise: "Excellent! Excellent!"

"This is what an ambitious young person should be like."

"The new generation of young people are indeed daring and hardworking, much better than our generation."

Even taking the lowest value, that's still 50 billion RMB.

A group's order worth 50 billion can create at least tens of thousands of jobs.

The food and drinks consumed by these tens of thousands of people will generate a considerable amount of daily GDP in addition to the 50 billion yuan.

In 2008, the total GDP of Hanshan Temple District was 450 billion yuan.

In 2009, the total GDP of Hanshan Temple District was approximately 540 billion yuan.

If Xiaomi Heavy Industry and its subsidiaries can achieve a GDP of 50 billion yuan this year, then Hanshan Temple District will have achieved more than half of its GDP growth target for this year.

If we also consider the jobs and consumption generated by this 50 billion yuan,

That almost means that Hanshan Temple District achieved its annual GDP growth target right at the start of the year...

wrong!

Xue Hongchang suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "I'm getting senile!"

Two factories belonging to Xiaomi Heavy Industry are under construction; the factory buildings have been completed and the equipment has been installed.

These things all require consumption, and that costs money.

All of these can be included in GDP.

Based on Lin Yi's estimated revenue, the construction and equipment costs of these two factories will be at least 10 billion yuan.

These can all be counted as GDP.

Surpass, far surpass.

This year's GDP will definitely far exceed that of previous years, and by a significant margin.

For ordinary people, rapid GDP growth means making money becomes easier; for individuals, it means a smooth career path.

Zhou Tianming was right; this young man was indeed his benefactor.

Since he is a benefactor, we should help him out properly.

After tapping his fingers on the coffee table for a while, Xue Hongchang suddenly looked up and asked:

“I remember there was a 500-acre industrial land plot near your place. The whole site was square and perfect for building a factory.”

"Does President Lin want to take that piece of land?" As soon as the question was asked, not only Lin Yi, but also Zhou Tianming couldn't help but gasp.

Suzhou City is not large. If the area of ​​Taihu Lake is excluded, the area of ​​Suzhou City is 6487 square kilometers. If it is included, the area is 8657 square kilometers.

With an area of ​​over 6000 square kilometers, it ranks tenth among the 13 prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu Province.

Therefore, Suzhou City does not have much land available for use.

Industrial land, in particular.

If a company wants to acquire 500 acres of industrial land, it will have to go to great lengths, begging and pleading.

But now, Xue Hongchang casually mentions 500 mu of land and even casually asks Lin Yi if he wants it.

This is outrageous.

Lin Yi touched his nose but did not respond directly.

As a local strongman in Hanshan Temple District, he naturally knew the exact location of the 500-mu industrial land that Xue Hongchang mentioned.

That piece of land is not far from Xiaomi Heavy Industry. Coming out of the existing factory gate, turn right at the gate, walk straight to the end, cross the zebra crossing, and the industrial land is right across the street.

It is said that the industrial land was specially reserved by Hanshan Temple District for large factories that will be attracted to the area in the future.

But despite several years of efforts to attract investment, the land has not been sold. Now, the grass on that land is already one or two meters tall.

Do you want it?
Of course I want that.

But I don't have enough money.

To acquire this land, the only option is to empty one's pockets and forcibly take it over.

Forcibly acquiring the land means that Xiaomi Heavy Industry's cash flow will be in great danger for some time to come, and it could go bankrupt if it is not careful.

The thought of not being able to acquire such a good piece of land made Lin Yi sigh.

After sighing, he gave Xue Hongchang a helpless smile, then explained softly:

“I really want that land, but I don’t have the money. If I force my way in, I’ll only crash harder.”

"so……"

For some words, just click on it.

Lin Yi shrugged and reluctantly picked up his teacup, starting to drink tea.

Seeing the helplessness in his expression, Xue Hongchang raised his right index finger and gently waved it, saying:

"Actually, you can get those 500 acres of land without spending a single penny."

"Ok?"

Free of charge?
Lin Yi frowned, looking at Xue Hongchang with a puzzled expression.

There's no such thing as a free lunch, and manna from heaven doesn't fall from the sky. If manna does fall from the sky, then there's something wrong with it.

Lin Yi's confusion and resistance were very obvious, and Xue Hongchang, being a shrewd man, saw it clearly.

He picked up the teapot, filled Lin Yi's cup with hot water, and then spoke to explain:

“If it were last year, in 2009, this 500 mu of land would have cost around 2.5 million yuan, based on the land transfer prices in that area.”

"But this year, the policy has changed."

"You have the opportunity to get that land for free."

After his reminder, Zhou Tianming, who had been drinking tea, suddenly realized something.

He then looked at Lin Yi and explained, "Let me explain."

“In the years of 04, 05, and 06, many people acquired industrial and commercial land, but they did not immediately invest in its development.”

"Instead, they held the land tightly in their hands, protecting it from anyone who might even peek in."

“Once a suitable price appears on the market, they will not hesitate to resell the land they have acquired.”

"After this situation arose, leaders at the provincial and municipal levels discussed it, and finally came up with a solution."

"That's a bet on income and taxes."

It would have been better if he hadn't explained; the explanation only deepened the confusion in Lin Yi's eyes.

If Suzhou City had such a policy, he, with memories of two lifetimes, couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

Unfortunately, even after searching through all his memories from his previous life, he couldn't recall such a policy.

Xue Hongchang noticed the confusion in his eyes. The Hanshan Temple District Labor Party official naturally picked up his teacup, took a sip, and explained:
"Actually, this is a pilot policy. Both the city and the province have only proposed plans in this regard."

"No official document has been issued to implement this."

"If we want to implement it, we can only do so under the guise of a pilot program."

This reminder brought a distant image to Lin Yi's mind.

That was a scene from when he was in his forties, chatting with a friend he met in the business world.

That friend often said that he was too timid back then and didn't dare to volunteer to ask for a piece of land in the city.

If he had gone back then, the outcome might have been completely different, and things wouldn't be like they are now.

Xue Hongchang's words, and the words that his friend often repeated, made Lin Yi roughly understand why he had never heard of these policies in his previous life.

Because this policy is very likely to be stillborn before it is even officially implemented and never be able to continue.

In my previous life, I was quite unlucky during this period, so I naturally couldn't come into contact with this level.

By the time you reach that level, the policy is gone, so naturally you don't need to know anything.

After much deliberation, Lin Yi decided to acquire the 500 acres of land first, since there's a saying that only a fool would take advantage of a bargain.

As for the price to be paid, that's a matter for later.

He nodded to Xue Hongchang and pressed for an answer:

"Director Xue, if I want to acquire this land, what price should I pay?"

Hearing Lin Yi's words and proceeding at his own pace, Xue Hongchang started counting on his fingers what conditions were needed to acquire the 500 mu of land.

"The first condition is that the company's tax payment exceeds 5 million."

"The second point is the development time. Once the land is acquired, construction must begin within one year. If construction does not begin within one year, the land will be automatically reclaimed."

"Article 3: The turnover must reach at least 20 billion."

"See, you meet all the requirements, don't you?"

Hearing that there were only a few restrictive clauses, Lin Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

20 million.

It used to be a large sum of money.

It is a number that is out of reach.

But now, as long as their product line expands and their reputation is established, 20 billion is just a small amount of money.

A sum of money so small it couldn't be smaller.

He's determined to have those 500 acres of land!
