Chapter 369: Encounter on the roadside (fourth update, please subscribe)
What is the most profitable business?
Everyone who has experienced the era of big real estate in the 21st century knows it - real estate.
Li Yian, who once worked in the sales department, is naturally very aware of the huge profits from real estate. Even in this era, it is difficult to obtain huge profits from real estate in another world, but it does not prevent you from entering this industry. After all, this is a rising industry.
In fact, Li Yian had already entered the US market as early as last year - last year, after the air refueling company moved from New York to Nanyang, the airstrip and the nearby 7 square miles of land became a Huge community.
At the peak of construction, a new home was built in the community every 16 minutes. A large number of non-union subcontractors and "unskilled" workers move from house to house, each of whom only needs to perform one of 26 highly specialized steps to complete the entire assembly process. They use prefabricated wooden houses imported directly from Nanyang and completely standardized materials purchased from manufacturers.
Houses that look almost identical, with only subtle differences in color, windows, rooflines, etc., have been dubbed "America's Finest Houses" from the day they were built. The house was initially sold for $7,990, and only required a 5% down payment. Thanks to the support of the federal bill, veterans did not need to pay a down payment - which is essentially equivalent to a man buying a house without paying a down payment.
Such low-cost houses have been sought after by all walks of life as soon as they were launched, and their appearance has also changed the lives of Americans - 80% of the residents there work in Manhattan. Such changes have promoted the suburbanization of cities - people only come back to sleep after get off work.
Although those more than 17,000 houses brought tens of millions of dollars in profits, imitators sprung up all over the country. Although the market is very broad, it is limited. For various reasons, real estate companies are now just one of the participants. For Li Yi'an, the biggest benefit may be the surge in exports of prefabricated wooden houses.
Although real estate companies are still building similar communities, profits are always limited. In this case, Li Yian needs new funding channels-his investment in the United States has always been to support his One of the main sources of funds for construction in Nanyang. Even though Nanyang's early investment companies have begun to see initial benefits, they are still inseparable from external capital injections.
"Commercial real estate development!"
Li Yian looked at the land in front of him and said.
“In the future, we can focus on commercial real estate development in urban areas. Its investment is high, but the return rate is also high, and this is also the trend of the future.”
“What?”
Karl looked at Li Yi'an, and it was this master who used 17,000 houses in the suburbs of Long Island to attract people to the suburbs.
"Sir, everyone is moving to the suburbs now. It is as easy for them to buy a house on Long Island as it is to rent a walk-up apartment in the city. Now the urban business districts are declining. In some places, land prices have dropped by 20%. About."
Karl's reminder made Li Yian smile.
“That was now, when suburban life was attracting a generation out of the city. Their children were growing up in those safe, innovative, and sometimes alienating environments, and the next generation they were raising was beginning to return. To the city - there will be more job opportunities and more entertainment in the city. Of course, they will eventually return to the suburbs when they get married. It is like a cycle. What we need is to take advantage of the falling land prices. , acquire some land, and make arrangements in advance, just like..."
Pointing to the land in front of him, Li Yian said with a slight smile on his face.
“Just like here, with an investment of 30 million, the land price has now tripled. If commercial development is carried out, the profit will exceed 200 million US dollars. Such a return on investment is still very impressive. ! ”
The rate of return is like robbery, how can it not be exciting!
Although not every investment will be promoted by the United Nations Building, taking advantage of the wave of urban suburbs and the underestimation of commercial real estate in urban areas, making appropriate investments will undoubtedly yield extremely generous returns.
This kind of return is sustainable, the kind that can continuously bring cash flow, and this is exactly what Borneo needs. In the past few years, Nanyang has no shortage of hard goods. Li Yian brought nearly a thousand tons of gold back from Germany, but relied on huge profits in the American black market and business investment. During the war, Li Yian invested in a large number of undervalued companies-consumer companies.
With the end of the war and the recovery of the consumer market, assets that had been undervalued due to the impact of the war have regained their value, and those investments now bring in more than $200 million annually. These steady infusions of funds are the boosters for Nanyang’s economic take-off.
“Business itself is about buying at low prices and selling at high prices. The current opportunity... is just right.”
Looking at Karl, who had not yet realized the key, Li Yian smiled.
“You can learn slowly and practice your skills here first. Now the whole world is worried about whether Berlin will trigger World War III. The market fluctuations are the time for us to buy.”
Actually, you can also go to Berlin to practice. Commercial real estate in West Berlin should be very cheap now. No matter how much high-quality assets are acquired, it will never feel like too much. World War III!
Looking at Li Yian, who was full of confidence and extremely calm, Karl asked.
"It seems that you are not worried about world war at all. It has been written in the newspapers that the president is considering using atomic bombs."
Karl's question made Li Yi'an smile, stand up, and walk towards the car time, he said.
“It’s just unfounded worries. A world war cannot be fought!”
Li Yian’s confidence comes from his understanding of the general trend of the world. Just like what the newspaper said-Truman plans to use the atomic bomb, And when he was in Washington, Truman also said that he prayed that God would not need to make this decision, but if necessary, he would make it without hesitation.
That guy Truman, even though he only had a high school degree and never went to college, he never hesitated when he needed to make a decision.
Li Yian knew all this, and so did his loving father in Moscow. When the car was driving along Roosevelt Avenue, there were low and dilapidated buildings everywhere on both sides of Roosevelt Avenue, including slaughterhouses, warehouses, light factories... This was a slum near the port. On the road where cars came and went, everywhere It's all dust, but soon, within a few years at most, this place will become one of the most prosperous areas in Manhattan.
"That boy Rockefeller knows how to do business..."
While sighing, Li Yian once again pondered in his mind whether to invite American plutocrats such as Morgan and Rockefeller. In fact, he was arguing with their In terms of contact, Li Yian was very cautious. As early as the war, he had already seen how they plundered the wealth of Europe. Now that he found them... wouldn't he just come to his door and let them chew his bones?
Now for Borneo, it is the last word to make a fortune silently and develop yourself first when no one is paying attention.
“The key is to strengthen yourself...”
The car stopped at the traffic light at the intersection, and his eyes fell out of the window. A graceful figure on the roadside came into his sight, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
What a fine waist!
The tall and slender figure made people couldn't help but take a few more glances. When the woman turned her face, what came into view was a woman with her mouth tightly closed. Although she was not smiling, she exuded a unique aura. field.
"A bit like a model..."
The unique aura displayed by the woman made Li Yian subconsciously think of the super models that are common in later generations. This woman is not only a fine waist , and her body interprets what the ocean is all about, and supermodels are all about legs. Thinking of the several women's clothing brands currently being built in Borneo's textile industry.
It seems that this woman is a very good spokesperson.
After thinking about it, Li Yian gave instructions to the co-pilot’s secretary.
"Secretary Lin, have you seen that woman on the roadside? Do some research and see if you can get her to be signed by a clothing company. She should be a very good model."
In fact, he didn't need to ask about such a trivial matter at all. But occasionally I will have a whim.
But an occasional whim may very well change a person's destiny.
Soon a European female bodyguard got out of another car and followed the girl quietly...
