The White Swan Hotel is only twenty-eight stories high.
As a landmark of reform and opening up, it once opened a window for Chinese people to see the world and has strong historical significance.
Father Su still remembers this hotel.
When my son was just a few years old, some of the building materials were provided by Sihai International, including a batch of timber from the Philippines and the doors of hotel rooms.
In order to get close to the all-powerful Mr. Qu, he took on more projects, almost at cost price, and really didn't make much money.
This White Swan Hotel was the first time many people were surprised to find out that they could invest in the Mainland. They were deeply impressed. Now, countless big shots have stayed here, including the Queen.
The building, which is less than one hundred meters high, contains twenty-eight floors.
The floor height is a bit low, but this room is spacious. Fortunately, it doesn't make people feel depressed. Compared with the Sihai International Hotel that was just built a few years ago, the various facilities are undoubtedly far behind. However, in terms of reputation and accumulated sense of history,
, the ten Sihai International Hotels are not as good as this one.
When it comes to profits, Father Su still loses... He can't compare, he can't compete, and he feels inferior.
At this moment.
"Is this still my son? Why can't I understand clearly? Why is the little bastard so smart?"
——A question from a wealthy casino businessman.
He was keenly aware of Su Yehao, with a little admiration in his expression, exuding little bits of light.
Although he didn't know why, Su Dad naturally put up his airs, put his hands behind his back, and asked: "Ahem... Then I will test you again. I want to get the residential land first. Is there anything you can say? From what you say, it seems that you can make a lot of money.
It’s so easy, how can the development cycle be faster?”
I have eaten ashes on construction sites for so many years, and I have seen countless fat pigs fly into the sky in the wind.
He supervised the construction of countless houses, but except for remote towns, none of them could be afforded by himself. Looking back on this incident now, Su Yehao still feels full of resentment.
He sneered: "Who would wait for the house to be completed before cashing out, wouldn't they be a fool?"
A certain wealthy businessman named Su from an unknown gambling city suddenly felt offended again. He breathed heavily in his chest and had the urge to go find a feather duster.
Su Yehao replied casually:
"It's just like borrowing money to lay eggs. You get the land, invest some money, then go back to pledge the loan and continue to buy the land. As long as the land price rises and the houses can be sold, the scale will just snowball."
Who doesn't know how to draw a big cake? Just say it without any proof.
Father Su vaguely saw the shadow of Mr. Qiu who was preparing to start a BP machine business in his son.
As expected of father and son, they both have the same ability to find fault.
Father Su was afraid of raising a prodigal son who was fond of starting a business. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "How do you know that the house will be sold?"
"Currently, there are so many communities that have no properties, no elevators, no greening, and the quality cannot be improved. The first group of people with money will definitely be willing to change their houses. When the time comes, the prices will be set higher, and the most expensive slogan in the city will be erected first.
I asked some foreign girls to dress up as butlers and show the houses to customers in cheongsams with slits all the way to the waist. If that didn’t work, I wholesaled some eggs and asked the uncles and aunties to help me and shouted a few words. They all said that the price of the houses was going to increase and I couldn’t even grab it.
Come, can you believe that someone came right away with a snakeskin bag to pay?"
This kind of routine is still popular after more than 20 years without changing the medicine. Su Yehao has seen it all too often.
He dumped his girlfriend after three years of dating. I met him in the sales department, and I often heard her talking about how to attract customers to buy houses.
In those years when the market was the hottest, everyone thought they could make money by buying something. They would fight for a spot and look for opportunities everywhere with tea money.
When it comes to huge profits, real estate definitely counts. Not only can you earn money from selling your house, but land prices will also skyrocket in the next few years.
After the turn of the millennium, when China joins the WTO, many places will skyrocket like a rocket.
Seeing that his father was interested in real estate in the Mainland, Su Yehao naturally made great efforts to promote it. After all, he is an only son and a family!
Father Su's acting style has always been prudent.
When going to Hong Kong City to develop real estate, most of the funds can come from my own pocket. In the early years, I pooled money with others to acquire land to build real estate. Some of the first and second phases have been sold and part of it has been cashed out.
Therefore, he felt that he was firmly on the high platform. If the Huang family hadn't found a weakness and pushed him, even if his own son had spoken out, Father Su might not have been willing to suffer a loss.
An old man like him, who has been in the business world for more than 20 years, is now tempted to be careful by Su Yehao's paintings.
Advocating for price increases, setting the tone, and finding pretty girls as salespeople are all tricks left behind by the Hong Kong and city real estate markets. Father Su knows it all too well.
On the way to the hotel, we saw a lot of new buildings being built on the street. The housing was indeed a bit poor, and people started to have some money.
Putting aside the question of whether land prices will rise or not, the snowball development of mortgage loans alone has already made Mr. Su's eyes light up. The main reason is to improve the performance first, and then go to Hong Kong City for financing and listing, so as to imitate others and make a lot of money.
.
The fox is still old and wise.
Father Su's ideas are indeed not comparable to those of Su Yehao's level.
Su Yehao only saw the house sale and land grab itself on the first floor.
And his father has already thought of the second, third, and even fourth level benefits, covering currency spreads, bank interest rate differences, stock appreciation, eggs in baskets, etc.
Sihai International has never been listed.
It's not that Mr. Su doesn't want to go public, but that Mrs. Tang got the instructions from the old man, that is, Su Yehao's grandpa deliberately caused trouble and didn't want this "son-in-law" to completely establish a new business.
Father Su has long been envious of the huge profits his friends have made in the stock market in the past two years, and has begun to think about changing his shell, starting from the mainland, and adding subsidiaries.
If some investors from the Mainland were attracted by then, he thought Mr. Tang would not stop them anymore... Besides, they might not be able to stop them.
A long-term plan quietly took root in Mr. Su's heart.
This hotel.
There must be no one stuffing little cards in the middle of the night, and no one calling from room to room selling tea.
I'm tired from the long journey.
Not long after his father left, Su Yehao called Yin Liuli and Nong Qingying successively, washed up and went to sleep.
A night without dreams until dawn...
It was only 1997, there were quite a few old buildings in the city, and there were not many cars on the road.
It started to rain lightly the next day and the sky was overcast.
During breakfast, there were already local strangers sitting at the same table with Mr. Su and the vice president, chatting happily and complimenting each other.
Su Yehao sat by the window and could just see the road next to him.
The ponchos, motorcycles and bicycles were almost blocking the main road. There was a traffic policeman in green clothes at the intersection, standing under a big umbrella and giving instructions.
The BP machines on people’s waists and the mobile phones they hold in their hands.
The loose-fitting suit and the 37-brow hairstyle are full of contemporary atmosphere, and they are talking about stocks, selling goods, dance halls, etc.
The head of the public relations department of Sihai International brought over this time a young girl who has been an intern for almost a year.
Su Yehao saw her when we set out. She was quite pretty and she only knew her name was "Xiaoya".
The public relations department is responsible for contacting the media, settling troubles, and maintaining relationships with customers and partners. There is nothing special about it.
This "Xiaoya" now found that there was no place to sit.
She was holding a plate in her hand, wearing high heels, flesh-colored stockings on her legs, and wearing black-rimmed glasses. She silently asked if she could sit across from Su Yehao.
He has a cold expression and is serious, which is definitely not an easy personality to get along with.
Su Yehao smiled and said casually: "Are you getting up late?"
"No, I got up at six o'clock and already went out to inspect the surrounding area."
It's like I have to deal with it.
Su Yehao saw it, and it was really cold.
Later.
There was a long silence.
After breakfast and sitting for a while, accompanied by local people, we took a car in the light rain and went out to inspect the land to be auctioned...
