Chapter 67 The New Concept of Land Speculation
Brother Ming, look, look, you are in the newspaper again
Under the office building of the Immigration and Entry Administration, Tang Ran jumped out of the door and ran towards Zhou Ming, who was picking her up from get off work at the door. He took out newspapers from his bag like a treasure and opened them one by one. Zhou Ming read: Brother Ming, look, this is Nanjiang Daily, here is Lingnan Times and Economic News, and here are some economic newspapers from the capital and Binhai.
Taking the newspaper from Tang Ran's hand, Zhou Ming looked at all the marks Tang Ran had made on it about his news. Zhou Ming couldn't help but smile and tease her, saying: You girl, you won't be careless at work today, just find the newspaper for me.
Come on
Not at all. Tang Ran said, I am serious about my work. I found these out by reading the newspaper when I had nothing to do.
Tang Ran pouted when he said this, and said to Zhou Ming dissatisfied: Brother Ming, who told you not to take me to the signing ceremony? I can only read the newspaper.
However, it's not that I won't take you with me, but I'm afraid of the chaos. You, a little girl, are afraid of something happening. Haven't you seen that the hotel waiters are scared to death? Zhou Ming comforted Tang Ran and said.
While Zhou Ming and Tang Ran were chatting, several of Tang Ran's colleagues also walked out of the door after get off work. When they saw Tang Ran and Zhou Ming together, they came up to say hello: "Of course, this is Ming you often mentioned in the work." Brother, he looks quite handsome. I heard he is also a big boss in Hong Kong City.
Zhou Ming nodded and said hello to Tang Ran's colleagues. One of the older women joked: Boss Zhou, you don't dare to take it seriously when a big boss like you says hello to us.
Another young woman said: Just so you know, I heard that yesterday, Boss Zhou, you were interviewed by dozens of reporters from the media at the signing ceremony, and you actually left just as you said so, giving away the reporters from these dozens of media.
It's just hanging there. Don't be too cool.
How is it possible that I still answered some questions, otherwise where would these newspapers write about me? Zhou Ming explained.
Then you'd better just leave. The young woman's eyes were shining, and she said to Zhou Ming with admiration, "Those are reporters from dozens of media. If I say that, I'm afraid I'll be so excited that I can't speak."
Other company bosses or unit leaders must be eager to chat with these reporters for three days and three nights and accept interviews from them like crazy. Only you, Boss Zhou, have such a personality that you can beat them to the punch.
Tang Ran had something to say about this: That's because those people want the media to expose them more. My brother Ming has the media in Hong Kong City taking the initiative to interview him. It's all the headlines. Now it's all here in Nanjiang.
If you can't make the front page headlines, then what's the point of doing interviews?
Yes, yes, after all, your brother Ming is the most powerful. The older woman who spoke first joked.
Tang Ran's face turned red and she said angrily: "Sister Wang, what are you talking about?"
The Wang sister laughed and said: Well, I know you have a low reputation and that you and your brother Ming are going to have a dinner date, so we won’t disturb you.
After saying that, Sister Wang left with several others. After her colleagues left, Tang Ran said to Zhou Ming embarrassedly: Brother Ming, I'm sorry. I saw it for them when I was looking through the newspaper for Brother Ming's news today.
They asked me what was going on, and I couldn't bear it so I told them. But I didn't want to tell them at first. Brother Ming, you won't be angry with me, right?
Seeing Tang Ran's timid look, Zhou Ming smiled and said: Of course I won't be angry with you. I am your boyfriend. You can be proud of your boyfriend in the workplace. How can I be angry?
Tang Ran felt relieved: Thank you, brother Ming
Suddenly the pager on Zhou Ming rang. Zhou Ming took out the pager and saw that it was Du Peng's number, so Tang Ran took Zhou Ming to the communication room of the unit to borrow a phone and call Du Peng.
The phone was quickly connected, and Du Peng's hearty laughter came: Congratulations to Boss Zhou, the report has been reported again, and it has been reported by so many newspapers at the same time, so congratulations.
Get out of here, you young master, you are trying to bully me like this. Zhou Ming laughed and cursed, "Why are you calling me?"
Okay, no kidding, I have already contacted Governor Xiong about what you told me. This is his office phone number and his pager number. Please note it down.
Du Peng then reported a series of numbers. Zhou Ming asked Tang Ran to find a piece of paper and write it down. To be on the safe side, Zhou Ming checked it with Du Peng again. Then Zhou Ming thought about it and asked: I have never been in officialdom, right?
I don’t know the situation in the officialdom, so Governor Xiong helped me because of Du Peng’s family’s reputation, so I shouldn’t need to visit him to do some social activities, I just need to contact him directly to talk about things.
Hearing Zhou Ming's words, Du Peng suddenly became frustrated and said: Zhou Ming, can you still be friends happily?
Zhou Ming was stunned: What's wrong?
I didn't tell you at first, I just wanted to wait for you to ask me. As a descendant of the red, I can teach you some official rules. But you, you guys, saw the problem directly, leaving me no room to play at all.
Du Peng said in a distressed tone, so Zhou Ming, can you lower your understanding a little sometimes and stop being such a monster? You hurt my self-esteem a lot.
Zhou Ming felt a black line appear on his forehead. Zhou Ming said helplessly: Well, Mr. Du, can you tell me the rules of your officialdom? I have never seen a senior official above the county level. Can you teach me some experience?
For example, should I bring some souvenirs to visit Governor Xiong?
Although your words sound exciting, why do they sound so false? Du Peng said.
Damn it, uncle, I haven't read the Actor's Self-cultivation. Zhou Ming is not in a good mood.
Forget it, let's leave it like that. Anyway, I've already communicated with Governor Xiong and he should be making arrangements. You just need to talk to him about the matter and he will tell you how to do it. Du Peng said
.
Zhou Ming nodded and said: I understand, do you have anything else to explain?
There is another thing, Du Peng said, the money you spent to buy Nanjiang Development Bank stocks is your own money, so our company still has four million in cash on its account. There is news from Uncle Chen that the city government plans to buy Nanjiang Development Bank shares next month
Let's hold a land auction. See if we can get involved.
Of course, even if you don't tell me, I will tell you before I leave. Zhou Ming said that he was a little surprised, because in Zhou Ming's memory, the first government land auction in Nanjiang would not be held until at least the end of the year.
Why did it start so soon? It seems that the auction they conducted had a huge impact on the city government, so they moved the auction date forward.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ming didn't know whether he should be grateful or helpless. Fortunately, he knew that he had the ability to influence the government's decision-making. But he was helpless because he was afraid that he would not affect other things and delay his own money, which would be troublesome.
How much do you expect to get for this land auction? Zhou Ming asked.
Du Peng thought for a while and said: I don't think this government auction will be as exaggerated as ours, but at least six to seven million is still required.
This number is similar to Zhou Ming's calculation. In Zhou Ming's memory, the average price of a piece of land in this land auction was about four million to five million. However, considering the impact of his previous land auction,
The government will definitely make some adjustments, but it won't be too high. If nothing else happens, the price of six to seven million is just right.
In that case, I will leave another three million to you, and you try your best to secure around six million for me to get a piece of land. Zhou Ming said.
Du Peng thought for a while and replied to Zhou Ming: I should be able to operate it with six million, but there is a problem. Even if Zhou Ming leaves me three million, we will have no money to invest in construction after we get a piece of land.
, should we ask Nanjiang Development Bank for a loan?
It is a good idea to borrow money to engage in real estate, but have you ever thought about it, if we plan to do this, other real estate developers will not do this, or do you think other real estate developers have sufficient funds? Zhou Ming analyzed, Nanjiang
Development Bank has just been listed, and we have only bought 6 million shares. They don't have that much money to lend.
So what should we do? Du Peng asked.
Zhou Ming replied: Since we don't have the ability to develop it, then we won't develop it. Let's leave the land there first and ask if anyone else wants to buy it. If someone is willing to pay more than 10 million, we will sell it.
Why, Du Peng was dumbfounded all of a sudden. Zhou Zhouming, you are not mistaken. We will not develop the land after taking it, but we will keep it in our hands to find the next buyer.
Of course, this is called land speculation. Maybe the buyers who buy our land may not be able to develop it. If they are smarter, they will learn from us and hoard the land without developing it, waiting for others to pay a higher price, and it goes on like this.
Pass it on until someone really wants to develop it, Zhou Ming said.
Du Peng, who can still play in this land, murmured, which showed that he no longer knew what to say on the other end of the phone.
Zhou Ming smiled. He could understand Du Peng's mentality. After all, real estate speculation had not yet emerged these days. Even the property market bubble in Qionghai would not happen until a few years later. Since there was no concept of real estate speculation, so
Even Du Peng couldn't imagine making money by putting a piece of land there without developing it. But in fact, this kind of land speculation, which does not develop but only hoards land, will make more money than developing the land. If
If the country hadn't discovered the problem and called for a stop in time, this thing would have been like eating Xuanmai and couldn't stop at all, and eventually it would have reached a height that the market couldn't bear and exploded.
Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming, I really admire you more and more. How do you think your brain is so long? How can you come up with so many money-making ideas? Du Peng said in admiration.
People are different, Zhou Ming said jokingly, Ranran and I are going to have dinner, will you come?
Forget it, I was hit hard by you today. I have to find a girl to heal my wounds. I won’t be a light bulb for you. I will see you off when you leave. Du Peng said.
