"The equity of Fashion Galaxy is relatively complicated, with both local shareholders and overseas investment institutions. They are the most troublesome at the moment. Some of them can no longer be contacted, and some have gone bankrupt. There is no way to sort it out in the short term."
Mayor He sighed helplessly.
If the federal government had not entered a state of emergency and closed all stock markets at the same time, an economic crisis of unprecedented scale would be imminent. Although it is also very difficult at the moment, fortunately everything is still under control.
"How does this 'rent for sale' operation work specifically?"
Zhang Hao asked curiously.
"If you are willing, the city can use the emergency law to temporarily requisition this mall and then sublease it to you.
When it can be transferred in the future, the rent will be deducted from the purchase price. This is rent-for-sale, which is very similar to the sales model of some apartments."
"What if it can't be transferred in the future?"
Zhang Hao quickly asked.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, the rent of the shopping mall is very low. Even if the transaction cannot be completed in the future, you will not suffer much loss. Moreover, we can sign a long-term contract. As long as the state of emergency is not lifted, you can continue to operate with peace of mind."
Mayor He said something meaningful.
The emergency law is a double-edged sword. If used properly, it can increase disaster response capabilities. If used improperly, it can cause social unrest. They need to use it with caution.
Zhang Jiayi was very satisfied with this plan, so she immediately asked: "How to calculate the rent?"
"Ten million."
"Monthly or yearly?"
"Of course it is every month. Even if we are recruiting, we have to refer to the market price. Otherwise, it is an open grab. Isn't the whole society going to be in chaos?"
Zhang Jiayi nodded subconsciously. The rental-to-sale ratio of this shopping mall has reached an astonishing 1:1000, far exceeding the general market. There is really nothing to say.
"How many years can I sign for at most?"
"Five years is fine, ten years is fine..."
Zhang Hao immediately interrupted: "Can you sign for fifty years?"
"Fifty years?" Mayor He was a little surprised. "Mr. Zhang, are you too pessimistic? If the state of emergency really lasts for fifty years, I can't believe how many people will be left by then." "Well, the rent won't change anyway. I did this just in case. If things go to the worst direction, I have a guarantee."
Zhang Hao explained casually.
"Okay, fifty years will be fifty years."
Mayor He thought for a while and agreed with a smile.
Next, several people talked about it from day to night. Even lunch and dinner were settled in the office. It was not until about nine o'clock in the evening that all the goals were finally determined.
There are a total of fifteen large and small acquisition projects.
It includes twelve underground shopping malls, two 13-story office buildings, and a large warehouse of 20,000 square meters.
Except for "Fashion Galaxy", everything else was purchased directly, with a total cost of 105.8 billion yuan, which can be called a sky-high transaction.
If the area of all underground shopping malls is added together, it is almost more than 800,000 square meters, a full 1,200 acres, accounting for one-sixth of the underground shopping malls in Huicheng.
Mayor He naturally smiled from ear to ear, patted his chest on the spot and promised:
"Mr. Zhang, please rest assured that all procedures will be completed within a week at the earliest."
"Thank you, when can we take over the mall?" Zhang Hao asked casually.
"You can do it now."
Zhang Hao rubbed his hands: "Mayor He, do I have another unwelcome favor?"
"Please say!"
"Next, we need to completely renovate these underground shopping malls, and we also need to purchase some industrial equipment. I hope the city can help..."
"No problem, you can submit a demand report. I will ask the people below to fully cooperate with you. If there is anything that cannot be solved, I will personally come forward."
Mayor He said without hesitation.
"Sorry for the trouble!" Zhang Hao thanked him quickly, then glanced at his watch, "Mayor He, it's already very late. Let's just stop here today and won't disturb your rest."
"How about a late-night snack before leaving?"
Mayor He persuaded him to stay.
"No need, my family just sent me a message to remind you."
"Okay then!"
Before leaving, Zhang Hao specially pulled his second sister to Mayor He and formally introduced him:
"Mayor He, I forgot to tell you that my second sister will be the general manager of the mushroom factory and earthworm factory from now on. If I am not here, no matter what happens, you can just talk to her directly."
"Sisters and brothers working together can cut through metal."
Mayor He smiled and gave a thumbs up.
Zhang Jiayi took the initiative to reach out: "Mayor He, please take care of me in the future."
"We should look out for each other. There may be places in the city that need your help."
"If something happens in the city, we will definitely do our part."
Zhang Hao said without hesitation.
"I'm determined."
Mayor He reached out and patted the other party on the shoulder.
This is treating the other person as a nephew.
……
On the way home, the siblings took the opportunity to discuss their next work arrangements.
"Second sister, it is estimated that the volcanic ash will drift over in another half month, and it will be very troublesome then. Let's try to complete the project before November, otherwise it will delay a few more months."
Zhang Hao solemnly reminded.
"What will happen if volcanic ash comes?"
Zhang Jiayi frowned and expressed confusion.
"Have you not watched the news? Except for the east coast, the entire North American continent is almost becoming a no-man's land. Volcanic ash is far more dangerous than we imagined. It will be difficult to go out, let alone work." p>
"You mean, how many months will it take for the volcanic ash to float?" Zhang Jiayi began to worry.
"Needless to say, this eruption of Sulfur Rock Volcano is not a trivial matter. It will not subside within a few months. We must be fully prepared."
Zhang Hao spoke with sincerity and sincerity.
According to the memory in the dream, the volcanic ash will be around for half a year in the future. At that time, all outdoor work will be stopped, and the entire society will be pressed on the pause button.
During this period, there will be large-scale snow disasters.
In short, next year will be a troubled year!
Zhang Jiayi sighed and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter:
"I understand, but this is a large project of 800,000 square meters, and I'm afraid it will be very difficult."
"No matter how difficult it is, it must be completed. If it doesn't work, you can find more construction companies. Money is not an issue."
Zhang Hao slapped his thigh hard.
After all, supplies become more scarce as we get further back. Although Mayor He has personally guaranteed it, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
Don't place all your hopes on others.
Zhang Jiayi nodded: "This transformation is not very difficult overall, and it is not impossible to put in a lot of effort. But having said that, hardware problems are easy to solve, but what about software problems?
We are both laymen. Whether we are growing mushrooms or raising earthworms, we need to recruit a professional technical team in such a short time..."
"Don't worry about this. I have already asked a headhunting company to help find talents. Once the office space is decorated, we will arrange interviews as soon as possible."
Zhang Hao has a great deal of success.
"This alone is not enough. There are many good universities here in Huicheng. We can find relevant majors to cooperate. In any case, since the investment is so large, there must be no less in research and development."
After all, after living on the other side of the ocean for twenty years, Zhang Jiayi’s vision is absolutely incredible.
