Chapter 536 Industrial Chain
Jiang Wu relaxed: "So, everyone has basically the same idea. Now there is only a problem of coordinated action."
"Yes." Zhou Zhi He smiled and said: "Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be a big one to hold it up."
The real chat started next. Jiang Wu asked Zhou Zhi if he had any promising projects recently, and declared that this was not a question for himself. Yes, it was asked to Tang Qi.
Zhou Zhi thought for a while and recommended two investments, one being the roof of a taxi and the other being a shop in the Kowloon shopping mall that was about to be built.
The roof is the roof light of the taxi. Each taxi has a numbered roof on the roof, which is the taxi's unique number. It is a taxi service operation symbol and is protected by law.
Only regular taxis with legal signs can operate.
It is now 1992, and you only need to pay 3,000 yuan to apply for the right to operate a taxi.
But within a few years, the management rights will increase, and this bonus period will last as long as ten years.
It wasn’t until ten years later that the price of this “top” once reached 300,000. It is useless for the government to issue a document prohibiting private buying and selling. Relying on internal reselling of business rights has become a way for some people to make a living.
"Operation rights speculation" has caused the price of dingzi to rise. Shudu has auctioned taxi "dingzi" many times, and almost every time there was a "crazy grab". The highest price of a dingzi once reached nearly 700,000 yuan.
The reason for all this comes from the popularity of the taxi market in Shucheng.
People in Shudu like nightlife. There is no subway, and buses close at half past ten. At that time, for the entertainers in Shudu, life has just begun.
This has led to the boom in the taxi industry. Passengers often cannot get a taxi and fight over it.
Soon, the taxi industry formed a chain of interests.
Because cars are still very expensive, most people today cannot afford a car, and those who can afford a car are not willing to drive a rental to make money.
So some smart people bought a roof, then bought a car, unified the appearance of the vehicle according to the city's traffic regulations, put the roof on, and had a "private" taxi.
Then I will find two drivers, one working the day shift and one working the night shift, and I will be the boss.
With this money, you can quickly earn five hundred a day.
In the future, the money was too much trouble, so regular taxi companies appeared.
Taxi companies are formal, but car roofs are not. Because after 1995, when taxi companies wanted to expand their scale, they found that they were faced with a problem: it was easy to buy a car, but it was difficult to buy a car roof.
As a result, intermediaries specializing in contracting "operating rights" for taxi companies came into being.
The so-called "taxi intermediary" is to find a private "taxi" and then transfer the operating rights to the taxi company. The owner of the taxi charges a "regular fee" of about 300 per day, which is much higher than his own The income from independent management is less. The advantage is that this money is pure income, and the remaining risks, such as hitting pedestrians, are borne by the taxi company.
This is actually a gray area, because on the surface, the operating rights of "Dingzi" cannot be resold, so there are law firms that specialize in this kind of contracts. Through clever management rights " Lease" or "escrow" contract to transfer it.
In a real industrial chain, it was not until two thousand years ago that this "top fee" was completely abolished under the impact of online ride-hailing.
"The stalls on Qingnian Road will not be popular for long." Zhou Zhi said: "The Chunxi Road business district will soon usher in a major industrial upgrade."
"After the upgrade, the first thing to do in the business district is Ban the stalls. Have you ever seen the kind of street stalls in the central business districts of foreign cities that cause chaos every night? It’s a mess and has to be restored to cleanliness in the morning, and the sanitation department can’t stand it. “So the next step is to give these stalls to the market management department and store them in a ‘price shopping mall.’”
“It’s just like the Lotus Pond Wholesale Market.” Jiang Wu thought thoughtfully.
"Yes." Zhou Zhi said: "But there is one special thing, that is, this will become the central business district of the entire Shu capital in the future. In addition to this affordable shopping mall, the surrounding high-end shopping malls, consumer venues, etc. will have complete supporting facilities. It will definitely become a place that everyone likes to visit.”
"In this case, the value of the shops in the shopping mall will go up."
Tang Qi and Zhou Zhi's investment in the Qingnian Road stalls has already earned them more than 30,000 yuan in just over half a year. , if sold within this six months, the originally 5,000 stalls have been sold to more than 30,000, and more than 200,000 can be earned.
The total is a small profit of three hundred thousand.
Now the three hundred thousand is enough to buy two shops in Kowloon shopping malls, plus a few taxi cabs.
Jiang Wu nodded: "Well, then I will go back and talk to Qiqi."
"Speaking of which, I also want to trouble Brother Wu with something."
"You said it."
"The Second Ring Road is being built in Shudu. In addition to a seat next to the thatched cottage, Outside the small bridge across Huanhua Creek, you can only come from behind the auto repair shop."
"If so. It would be more convenient to have a bridge across the Qingshui River to the Second Ring Road.”
In later generations, the military auto repair plant and the surrounding wasteland were planned into a huge park. ——Huanhuaxi Park was once the largest natural landscape park in Sichuan City.
On the other side of the Huanhua River, there is the high-end Huanhua Community; on the other side of the Qingshui River, there is the Xiaojiahe Community with mature facilities and relatively affordable prices.
If we take the current old road, Zhou Zhi will have to go around a large park and a thatched cottage in the future to get to the main road at Shuangxian Bridge, which is very inconvenient.
Zhou Zhi’s memories of this area in later generations are rather vague. Zhou Zhi really has no impression of whether there is a bridge from the corner of the small peninsula in Huanhuaxi Park to the Huanhua Community on the opposite side.
“You want to build a bridge?”
“I don’t dare to think that.” Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “I just don’t know if there is such a bridge in the municipal planning. I just want to know.”
"Actually, the real business is that this mansion still needs to be renovated. If a bridge is to be built there, the garage can be moved down the slope in the future, and the current garage can be converted into a warehouse to store the furniture on the top floor of the mansion. Decorate the top floor. "
"In the future, the first floor of Suihuaxuan will be the gathering place, reading room, tea room, bar, flower greenhouse, and standard guest rooms; the second floor will be the guest suites; and the third floor will be the master room. Roof Garden ”
"I will come to Shudu to study in one year, and I want to get it done now."
Jiang Wu smiled and said, "With your current connections, I can handle this myself." Right? Just open a cultural company today. , Lao Chai, who organized the exhibition, must have an advertising company and a decoration company under his control. "Those people are outsiders." Zhou Zhi took the opportunity to compliment Jiang Wu: "They can't be compared with Brother Wu."
"Hehehe..." Jiang Wu reached out and patted Zhou Zhi on the shoulder, as if he understood everything.
