In just three days, the Shenzhen Municipal Government vigorously and resolutely determined the location of the high-tech park. It was located on the bank of the beautiful Xiangmi Lake, including Chegong Temple, and an entire 2.2 square kilometers of land was designated around the lake, with a total area of 3,300 square kilometers.
mu.
The government's courage is staggering. This is a real golden zone on Shennan Avenue where every inch of land is precious.
Both parties worked very efficiently, and a formal development contract was quickly drawn up.
Wang Yaocheng and government leaders signed the development contract on the spot at the signing ceremony, and then handed over US$350 million in land transfer money, officially starting the demolition process.
This amount was calculated to be 910,000 yuan per mu of land, almost equal to the price of cabbage. The local government made very big concessions.
Entering Shenzhen City in 1997, the total output value of the national economy has developed rapidly, and it has become one of the cities with the most outstanding economic performance in the country and a bridgehead for reform and opening up.
The entire city is a large construction site, with tower cranes standing everywhere and countless high-rise buildings rising from the ground.
At the same time, the supply of land in the city has become increasingly tight, and land prices have soared. In 1997, the actual price of the land beside Xiangmi Lake was 4.5 million yuan per acre, and it was difficult to obtain the entire development area.
Why did the government make such huge concessions?
As a leading investment company, Hong Kong's Wang Group's treatment is unusual after all.
Moreover, the Wang Consortium’s golden name is really loud. It has never been watered down in terms of investment amounts and projects. It is also quick to implement, funds are in place quickly, projects are launched quickly, benefits are seen quickly, and the accompanying industry groups have strong driving force and large radiation effects.
It's not like some well-known international companies, where what was promised and what was finally implemented were completely different. The final investment amount was also greatly reduced, and the endless preferential policies were demanded, which was hard to fill.
Comparing the two, the gap is really huge.
Many advantages are added together to establish a good reputation.
Leaders of coastal and inland cities like to introduce Wang's consortium projects to create jobs and tax revenue while injecting new vitality into the urban economy.
The future high-tech industrial park will be different from ordinary industrial parks. It is a science park focusing on high-tech industrial technology research, which will greatly enhance the scientific research capabilities of Shenzhen City.
This is exactly the leading R&D project that Shenzhen City is trying to introduce. It will help shape the image of a R&D-oriented city, strengthen Shenzhen City’s attraction to high-tech talents, and embark on the path of smart city development.
As the pioneers of domestic reform and opening up, it is understandable that the leaders of Shenzhen City have such great courage, courage and responsibility to make decisive decisions.
Otherwise, how can we break into a new world in reform and opening up?
In addition to the demolition funds and necessary five-level services and one leveling, the government also provides money to green the environment. It has truly achieved the highest business realm of treating customers with sincerity and mutually beneficial development, which deeply moved investors.
Wang Yaocheng said on behalf of the consortium;
A team of world-renowned designers will be invited to master-plan the entire high-tech park and position the park as a future city that unleashes imagination and the most beautiful touch of color on the Shenzhen skyline.
Both parties enjoyed themselves harmoniously, and the cooperation and negotiation were intimate.
City leaders took the opportunity to express a wish;
It is hoped that a world-class high-rise building can be built in Shenzhen City and become the top of the city skyline on Shennan Avenue.
Wang Yaocheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, but it would take two years to prepare.
When they heard that Wang Yaocheng agreed, the city leaders all beamed. Even the hard-working leading cadres could not get rid of their inner obsession with pursuing a towering city skyline. This is the dream of an international metropolis.
Two years from now, the time is about right.
It is normal for a world-class high-rise building to take four to five years from design to completion, and it is not uncommon for it to take even longer.
In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the Pernas Tower was built in 1996 with a height of 451.9 meters and a total of 95 floors. The construction period took two and a half years. It once created a miracle of one floor in four days.
The Pernas Towers, shaped like two big corns, are the famous "Twin Towers" and are currently the tallest buildings in the world.
The proposed Taipei new landmark 101 building will officially start construction in 1998, with a construction period of four and a half years. It will reach a maximum height of 508 meters, which will exceed the height of the Twin Towers.
For Wang Yaocheng, an investment of more than one billion US dollars in the world's tallest building is affordable. The key question is whether it is necessary?
When the Shenzhen Atlantic Science and Technology Industrial Park and the Future High-tech Park are basically formed, with the development of science and technology and the progress of the city, it is completely possible to have a comprehensive building.
It is totally uneconomical to simply pursue this false reputation. With the same level of investment, eight commercial buildings of about 50 floors can be built.
Moreover, with the surging high-rise building craze in the country, Mingzhu City will undoubtedly compete for the first place, and Yanjing City will never fall behind. Everyone rushes to build.
Even if there are no conditions, we have to create conditions. As for Jinling City, haha, is it possible not to want a world-class high-rise building?
After their trip to Shenzhen City, Wang Yaocheng and his party took a Boeing 747 private jet to fly to New York, the United States, because Yahoo Search was about to go public.
New York
"It's really nice here! The Krone family really knows how to enjoy it. They chose this good place, with a wide view facing Central Park. These old white people have taken up all the good places early. Tsk tsk tsk...it's really good."
Wang Yaocheng looked around and kept smacking his lips. This Viking Building is located at the front of the luxury apartment complex in East Manhattan, with a total height of sixteen floors.
It is the center of Manhattan Island and is known as the "Back Garden of New York".
The Crown family property occupies the top floor of the 16th floor, and the entire floor belongs to the family property.
The room is decorated in a splendid Victorian palace, with a total area of 3600 square meters. There is also a European-style garden on the top floor, a small bridge and flowing water, and a large platform where high-end parties can be held. It is extremely luxurious.
There are many antique oil paintings, European palace-style furniture, ancient silver tableware and exquisite knick-knacks in the room, almost showing the complete original style.
Apart from replacing a few outdated portraits of the Crown family's ancestors and changing the bedding and curtains, there was nothing else to add.
This is a perfect place to stay when visiting New York. You don't need to stay in a hotel. The rooms are large enough and the space is large enough. It's perfect.
If you want to enjoy the convenience of modern decoration, there are three luxury apartments in uptown New York, with an area of about 300 to 500 square meters. They are fully modernly decorated and have strict security. Everything has high-end bathroom and furniture facilities. You can move in at any time.
The leather bag company under the Wang Consortium acquired 4.5% of the HSBC Bank controlled by the Krone family. As a supplement to the transaction, a lot of these properties and some antique calligraphy and paintings were selectively purchased at the request of the creditor banks.
These fixed assets were all purchased as an add-on to the transaction.
In the heart of Chicago, there is an entire 12-story building that will be transferred to Shanghai Hong Kong Hotel Co., Ltd. and transformed into the Peninsula Chicago Hotel.
Wang Yaocheng glanced at Shi Xueyi beside him and said, "Old Shi, take Julia Roberts to check out the three luxury apartments in Shangcheng District and let her choose one. She has nothing to do anyway."
"Um...ahem." Shi Xueyi pouted, looking reluctant.
"What's going on? I can't move you!"
"I want to guard the property for Sister-in-law Wanru to prevent those ghost women from defrauding money and sex." Shi Xueyi replied angrily.
Wang Yaocheng was angry and laughing at the same time; "Fart! Julia Roberts gave birth to a son for me, I can't just ignore it, right? An apartment is worth shit money, what's wrong with giving it to my son to enjoy?"
"If there is one, there are two. How much water will be released after this hole is opened?"
"Okay, okay, I won't let you, Grandpa Shi, do this, okay?"
"That's not right. It's best not to cause any deaths when playing outside. It's too much trouble."
Why...why do I want to hit someone so much?
Okay, Wang Yaocheng can't get angry with this stupid head; "Go, I'm going to have a banquet for President Qi Feifei and his road show team tonight. He has worked hard during this time, and some old friends in New York will also be there."
Come, hurry up and get ready, prepare more good wine and food, and take out some of the good things we brought from China, don’t search too hard.”
"I don't pick it."
After saying that, Shi Xueyi left with a straight face.
Wang Yaocheng shook his head and there was nothing he could do with this guy. This guy was someone who could get in but not get out. As the director of the Fixed Asset Management Department of the Royal Family Fund, he was absolutely safe.
at the same time
Shi Xueyi also holds the position of deputy director of the Secretariat. Although he is busier, he can receive two salaries and bonuses, and is an executive of a consortium with an annual income of over one million US dollars. This also implies taking care of him.
There was also his cousin Chen Shi standing nearby. Wang Yaocheng said, "Don't imitate him, do you hear me?"
"oh."
"Wan Ru is the wife, yes, and this Julia is the second wife. Even if the treatment is not so good, she still has to be decent. We gentlemen have to be somewhat responsible, do you understand? You can take care of this later."
"Oh, what about Sister Cai? She is also pregnant."
Wang Yaocheng was stunned for a moment and looked at his cousin Chen Shi. Seeing that his face was serious and not teasing, he knew that this kid didn't have the guts either.
After pondering for a moment, "Your sister Cai is the third wife, and Elizabeth is the youngest. Do you know that now? Each of these three luxury apartments has been allocated to them. You can make the specific arrangements. If you are missing anything, feel free to add it.
We don’t lack those three melons and two dates, so we should be more generous in our conduct."
"Oh, I got it."
Cousin Chen Shi is a mature man and very stable in his work. He does not look like a 22-year-old young man at all, but like a 52-year-old old man. As long as everything is assigned, he will complete it to the letter.
Similarly, Chen Shi serves as the director of the audit department of the Royal Family Fund and concurrently serves as the deputy director of the secretariat. He is also a consortium executive who receives a double salary and earns over one million US dollars annually.
After joining the consortium for more than seven years, these two confidants were gradually able to shoulder the burden of the royal family's funds, which gave Wang Yaocheng a lot of peace of mind.
Regarding the statement that they were not being treated badly, Wang Yaocheng specially arranged to invest a total of 5 million US dollars in their annual salaries and bonuses in the past two years into Amazon's A-round financing, each accounting for 2.5% of the share. They diluted it in two rounds before going public, and still
With 1.45%, he is a proper multi-millionaire.
Compared with the value-added ability of Amazon website, video YouTube and photo gallery companies are inferior.
As for participating in Yahoo Search's large-scale IPO, a small sum of US$5 million is just a drop in the bucket. The shareholder's name is at least 150, so there is no investment value.
In terms of equity appreciation ability, even Yahoo Search, a core company in the Silicon Valley Internet industry, is not as good as Amazon.com because its founder and CEO is Bezos, a man who creates miracles.
Amazon.com went public on May 15, 1997, at $18 per share. The market performed strongly that day, growing to $23, with a market value of $650 million.
Among them, Wang Yaocheng, the major shareholder of Amazon.com’s angel round, holds 39.2% of the shares, founder Bezos holds 21.6%, and the rest is held by major investment banks and investment funds. Chen Shi and Shi Xueyi each hold 1.45% of the shares.
, ranking the 14th and 45th largest shareholders.
According to Wang Yaocheng’s logic;
If you want to bring in investors anyway, why not give your brother an advantage?
