Despite being incredibly wealthy, I want to be a prosecutor.

Over the next two days, Zhou Hong's registered Anxia County Future Charity Foundation and Anxia County Flying Tiger Investment Co., Ltd. were both approved with extremely high efficiency.

However, companies registered with the county-level Administration for Industry and Commerce must include "XX County" in their name.

Although the approval process for charitable foundations is efficient, the review process is very strict. The foundation account is located at the Anxia branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and the five million yuan arrived instantly. This account is also subject to supervision by the civil affairs system.

Feihu Investment Co., Ltd. has a registered capital of 10 million yuan and a paid-in capital of 10 million yuan.

People in Anxia County have lost their guard, especially when it comes to company capital verification. Usually, once the funds arrive, the business registration is verified, and the funds are immediately transferred out. Generally speaking, you can buy this kind of capital verification service for a few hundred yuan.

However, it is clear that Feihu Investment Company did not touch the funds after they were deposited into the account.

Not to mention that registering a company with one person as the sole shareholder only requires 10 yuan. Who cares how much you invest later?

This young master, whether out of ignorance or something else, is truly honest; he registered with 1000 million in capital and paid it all in.

But no matter what, they really have a lot of money.

Let alone Anxia, ​​even among the most famous business owners in the surrounding counties, who can come up with 1500 million yuan in cash flow?

Not to mention net assets.

……

In Ya Su's living room, several delicious dishes were laid out on the table, along with a bottle of local Tiaohuxia Erguotou liquor.

Opposite Zhou Hong sat a refined and handsome middle-aged man wearing glasses, who was Fang Ting's father, Fang Tongsheng.

This is Fang Tongsheng's dormitory, which is actually an apartment rented by the government. It has a one-bedroom layout and currently only has Zhou Hong and Fang Tongsheng living there.

"Department store, are you really prepared to take over for 50? And solve the employment problem for those 106 employees? Promise that their income will not be reduced? You can't lie about this, otherwise it will easily cause social problems."

Fang Tongsheng felt he really couldn't understand this young man. If he had to describe him in one word, it would be "money-giving boy."

However, who would be a fool to control such a large sum of money? I'm afraid he might have bigger ambitions in the future. For example, is his talk of building an airport just empty words?

But then again, wouldn't that be an even bigger windfall? Building an airport in Anxia? Even if his blueprint comes true and a lot of tourists come to visit, that small amount of passenger traffic will certainly boost the county's economy, but can it afford to maintain an airport?

Fang Tongsheng was completely baffled, but he could somewhat understand why his daughter had originally planned to resign and start a business with the young man in front of her. This young man was a mystery.

Moreover, doing these things is incredibly exciting.

He disagreed with his daughter's resignation, but his maternal grandfather had always doted on her. As the deputy magistrate of a county, he had no say in her future development.

Fortunately, my daughter told me that the young man later agreed that it would have been better if she hadn't quit her job; otherwise, I'm afraid she definitely wouldn't have listened to him.

Zhou Hong smiled and said, "Since I made a promise, I won't change it."

"Your team..." Fang Tongsheng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

It seems this young man is about to leave, and his team will take over the specific tasks.

Registering a company is very simple; only two people need to be present: one is the legal representative, and the other is the supervisor. Moreover, this supervisor is just a figurehead and can be replaced at will. It's enough to have one person in name only, which is completely different from registering a fund.

But once the company is actually running, it's not that simple.

This young man seemed to have acted on a whim, registering a company on a whim.

As for the team structure, it seems we'll have to go back to recruit people.

So, when his team arrived in Anxia, ​​was the price he verbally promised at the department store still valid?

"I own 100% of all the companies under my name," Zhou Hong said with a smile.

"Does that mean you can't tolerate any dissenting opinions?" Fang Tongsheng smiled.

Zhou Hong nodded: "You could say that."

It's really hard for me to find a partner because no one can understand my logic of constantly exploiting the system.

"Uncle, I'm serious about my proposal to invest in building an airport," Zhou Hong suddenly said.

Fang Tongsheng nodded: "I think so too. From an economic perspective, I won't remind you. You're a smart kid, you must understand. I can't understand you, so I won't try to understand. I'll just give you the conclusion: it's very difficult, extremely difficult, because there's no precedent in the whole country for private capital to invest in an airport, let alone build it entirely with private capital."

Zhou Hong smiled and said, "That's because those airports are all profitable. If a private company were to invest, it would need to have strong connections, which would be considered embezzling state-owned assets! But my investment is in a remote and impoverished area, and it's obvious that it will lose money every year after completion. It's not the same thing, is it?"

Fang Tongsheng waved his hand: "Theoretically you can say that, but once this door is opened, we can't say that your special case is allowed, but other private capital can't enter the airport sector."

"Besides, if you lose money every year, doesn't that make us a failure of our reform and opening up? Then the decision to allow private investment in airports is wrong. It's not that you can just lose money; we also have to consider the international impact of our policies. Do you understand this principle?"

Zhou Hong leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.

"So, you still want to buy our department store for 50? After learning that the possibility of your ambitious plan to invest in building an airport is extremely slim?" Fang Tongsheng said with a smile.

"These are two different things," Zhou Hong pondered. "At the beginning of this year, the State Council and the Central Military Commission issued the 'Regulations on the Control of General Aviation Flights,' which means that the air ban will soon be lifted and private planes will inevitably enter the market. Therefore, it is not hopeless for private capital to invest in and build airports."

Fang Tongsheng looked at him strangely, then shook his head helplessly, wondering why this young man insisted on arguing with airplanes and airports.

"You have a private jet, right?" Fang Tongsheng suddenly asked.

"Yes, one is in Hong Kong, and the other will be delivered soon. The contract has been signed, and theoretically it belongs to me. It's just missing a little bit of interior decoration." Zhou Hong answered honestly.

"So, you really have to own your own airport?" Fang Tongsheng was both amused and exasperated. What kind of family raised this kid? Ordinary people really couldn't understand his thinking.

Zhou Hong pondered, "Actually, it's not that I want to own the airport myself, Uncle. Do you think this is a viable option? I'll invest through a bank, but it's a kind of loan. I'll fully fund it. But in this way, once the airport is built, the ownership will naturally be state-owned, and the operation will also belong to the state. I only need to have an FBO team stationed at the airport. According to the 'General Aviation Flight Control Regulations,' it's inevitable that FBO companies will enter airports. An FBO team is a team registered as an aviation service company that provides services for business jets and private aircraft."

"Hmm, I'll have to see how to get into the private banking market later," Zhou Hong muttered to himself, pondering.

Fang Tongsheng stared at him blankly, repeatedly telling himself that he needed to broaden his thinking and dare to imagine in order to complete this communication with this young man.

So what? You're going to open a bank just to build an airport?

Fortunately, Zhou Hong quickly regained his composure. "How about this? The loan will be repaid indefinitely with zero interest, and I'll cover any losses incurred by the airport. Under current regulations, this model should be feasible, right?"

Fang Tongsheng was already having some difficulty conversing. He coughed and said, "Xiao Hong, I understand your sincere desire to invest in building our country, even if it means losing money. But you see, your uncle doesn't have much say in Anxia County, and what you're talking about doesn't matter even at the city or provincial level. It has to be at the very top, do you understand?"

Zhou Hong smiled: "I was just asking Uncle about the thinking of the higher-ups, wasn't I? If you think it's possible, I feel there's a chance to get some kind of flexible approval from the higher-ups, so it's somewhat feasible. Since you think it's not feasible at all, I think it's very difficult."

"That's right, Xiao Hong, come and have a drink!" Fang Tongsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Hong smiled and said, "Anyway, the charity foundation registration is done, Uncle, thank you!" He raised his glass in a toast.

Seeing that Zhou Hong was finally starting to act like a normal person, Fang Tongsheng let out a long sigh of relief. In such a short time, it was even more difficult than dealing with his father-in-law.

Zhou Hong finally said, "If all else fails, we'll build a general aviation airport first, and then gradually transition to a transport airport later. It seems that building a transport airport directly is very difficult."

Fang Tongsheng was taken aback. "What general aviation airport?"

"How should I put it? Simply put, it's the kind of airport that can't be used for civilian flights, like helicopters or spraying planes. The provincial development and reform commission can approve the construction of a general aviation airport. General aviation airports are divided into three levels. The first level is where business jets can fly, and nowadays, private jets are included as well."

"Moreover, in 91, more than a decade ago, specifically in 91, Luoding, a mountainous county in the south, built a general aviation airport entirely through self-financing. At the time of construction, it was a Class 3 airport, but now it seems to have been upgraded to a Class 1 airport."

Fang Tongsheng had no knowledge of these matters and knew nothing about them. He smiled wryly and said, "Xiao Hong, to be honest, I don't know how to discuss this topic with you. I'll have someone look up some information later."

Zhou Hong smiled: "Okay, Uncle, let's not talk about that. By the way, Uncle, is your name the same as the one from Tong'an? Tong Sheng?"

"Haha, yes, but when I was in elementary school..."

The two chatted amiably, their laughter ringing out, and gradually their conversation warmed up as they began to talk about everyday things.

……

"Century Garden" sales office.

When Sales Director Li saw Zhou Hong arrive again, and saw that the guy was still acting all nonchalant, he almost got so angry that his nose twisted out of shape.

But the boss later gave specific instructions, as if he had found out who this young man was, so it might not be a simple matter.

With a smile, Director Li welcomed Zhou Hong to his office on the third floor.

"Sir, our boss hopes to contact you directly," Director Li said earnestly as he poured tea for Zhou Hong.

Zhou Hong nodded. After all, Boss Zhu had some connections locally. After hearing Director Li talk about his unusual behavior, he must have inquired about his connections here and guessed that he might be the one who came to Anxia to set up a charity foundation and was now preparing to take over the department store.

After all, there aren't many outsiders in Anxia County, and even fewer outside investors, so it's easy to guess.

"There's a chance, there's a chance..." Zhou Hong said casually, then added, "Did your boss say what kind of discount he'd give me if I bought the whole building?"

Director Li was stunned for a moment. "Please wait a moment." He got up and went outside to call Boss Zhu.

"What?" Director Li couldn't help but exclaim in surprise upon hearing the boss's quote.

Although the boss was silent for a while after hearing that the young man had completely ignored the idea of ​​contacting him directly, which frightened Director Li, many people knew how the boss started his business. In other words, how many people in the real estate industry today didn't have a dark past?

But now the boss's offer is making Director Li even more terrified.

Back in his office, looking at Zhou Hong's ambiguous smile, Director Li suddenly felt like a fool. Yes, this young man was on the same level as the big boss, capable of having a conversation and understanding each other's thoughts.

"The boss said that if you pay in full, the apartment building will be transferred for 100 million."

As Director Li spoke, the corner of his mouth twitched. "Although our county is poor, how could it not sell if we sell houses at this price?"

Forty apartments for 1 million yuan, each for 25,000 yuan, a clearance sale at a loss!

Although the bulk of the cost of building a house is the cost of the land, the big boss acquired this land at almost zero cost. Because of this, people are still going to the higher authorities to complain.

Even with zero expenditure on the land, it's currently being sold at cost price or even at a loss.

This doesn't even include other expenses that should be considered part of the cost, such as the huge bank loan interest the boss currently has on him.

Zhou Hong paused for a moment, "Your boss's surname is Zhu, right? He's quite generous."

"The big boss also said that you might need a storefront. We have a dozen or so stores for sale. If you want one, it'll cost 150,000 each."

Director Li felt bitter as he spoke, feeling like he had become a potato seller.

Selling a storefront was originally such a prestigious transaction, but now it's like selling vegetables at a street stall—a clearance sale, asking if you'll buy it all?

These dozen or so street-facing shops were originally located between the department store and the county government compound.

Although the area and layout are the same, there are still differences in terms of commercial value. For example, the price per square meter is higher for units closer to the department store.

But now, they're really selling potatoes; the price difference is negligible, and they're all priced at 15 each.

"Okay, then I'll choose the one at the far east end, next to the government compound. We'll use it for offices; being close to government departments will make it look more dignified."

Zhou Hong gestured, "You can work on the purchase contract. Can you finish this in a day? I'll have someone come to make the payment tomorrow."

Zhou Hong picked up a pen and paper from the table, wrote a line, and said, "Buyers should all write this company's name." After standing up, he said, "Give me your boss's phone number."

Director Li was overjoyed, finally completing the task assigned by the big boss. He hurriedly said, "Good, good, here's his business card." He frantically took a black business card from the drawer and handed it to Zhou Hong with both hands.
