Chapter 257 World Customs Garden
Looked at the time.
Xu Liang clipped the bookmark, turned around and walked outside.
Change your clothes and drive out.
After getting on the Third Ring Road, go around from the north, come down from the Lotus Bridge exit, follow the Lotus Bridge West Road to the west for six entrances, turn left on Xiaotun West Road, and go forward 1,600 meters. Then I saw a huge construction site on the west side of the road that had been suspended for more than three years.
After seeing several cars parked on the roadside in front, Xu Liang stopped the car.
The first few cars opened, and Xie Wen walked out with his secretary, driver and company employees.
"Mr. Xu."
A brief shake of hands, "How long have you been here?"
"Not even a few minutes."
Xu Liang smiled and didn't point it out.
He also said this when he faced the leader before, but in fact, you have to be at least half an hour in advance, otherwise if the leader comes and you are not there, it will be okay if you meet a magnanimous person, but if you are petty, I will definitely wear small shoes for you in the future.
Although Xu Liang asked himself that he would not care too much about this, his subordinates could not help but care about it.
“Let’s go inside and have a look.”
Xu Liang walked in front, and Zhou Ren followed him.
After walking for a while, everyone walked in through the broken guardrail next to it.
Not far ahead, there is a miniature pagoda with a golden body that is full of Thai style.
Xu Liang stepped onto the steps, and what he saw was full of scars. The fresh bricks and stones exposed in the damaged parts of the pagoda reminded everyone that this pagoda was a copycat version that had not been released recently.
Although the sun is shining brightly, the first snow in Beijing remains under the base of the tower.
Several children were playing with another little boy on a raised concrete platform not far away using several discarded wine bottles. Both of them were covered in mud.
Seeing them coming in, the two children looked a little panicked, dropped the bottles and ran towards the park.
“There are still people living here?” Xu Liang asked in surprise.
Xie Wen nodded, "After the World Customs Park stopped working, several construction units have been unable to get project funds. In order to protect their own interests, they built simple houses next to these ruined buildings. Hire someone to take care of them.
The children just now are probably the family members of those caregivers."
"How will the city government handle this?" Xu Liang frowned.
Although he is not in real estate, he also knows that this kind of land with unclean beginning and end is very troublesome.
"The arrears for the project will be deducted from the land purchase price we paid. The city is currently in contact with the construction company, and we only need to pay."
Xu Liang nodded and continued. Walking forward, after turning a few turns along the dilapidated garden road with overgrown grass, a magnificent unfinished building appeared in front of us.
The building is symmetrical from north to south, with two floors, each floor has tall and towering Greek columns.
Looking from a distance, it seems like you can see the remaining temples or palaces of ancient Greece.
However, the entire building is in a frame state, and the walls have become somewhat darkened by wind and rain erosion.
There are several simple small houses next to the building, where you can see traces of human life.
Woof woof woof.......
While Xu Liang was looking around, the sound of dog barking came, and soon five or six strong native dogs came running from a distance.
Seeing that there were many people like Xu Liang and others, they stopped more than ten meters away and kept shouting, but they did not dare to move forward.
Soon, dogs barked from other places, but they didn't come running over.
“Why are there so many dogs here?” Xu Liang asked curiously.
“They are all raised by the caregivers to give them courage.”
Xu Liang understood that ordinary people guarding such a large area of ruins are fine during the day, but at night they are nothing like the scene of a horror movie The difference is that normal people are afraid.
Hearing the dog barking, a somewhat slovenly middle-aged man walked out of a shack not far away, carrying a thick steel bar in his hand, with vigilance in his eyes.
But he didn't come.
Xu Liang glanced at him and did not step forward to disturb him.
“Go forward.”
Walking around, Xu Liang saw more damaged buildings, in addition to Greek-style palaces, Thai-style pagodas, and traditional Chinese pavilions, exquisite Jiangnan-style courtyards, European castles and Japanese-style small buildings, etc.
Most buildings have completed their skeletons, and some have also been decorated on the outside.
It can be seen that the World Customs Park was originally planned to be large, but its fate was unfortunate. Now it has become a paradise for adventurers, stray dogs and garbage.
“So many buildings have already been built. It would be a pity if they were all bulldozed.” Xu Liang said.
“We have consulted some design institutes, and their idea is to bulldoze religious buildings, retain other buildings, and convert them into independent office areas; castles can be converted into hotels; Greek-style palaces, etc. can be converted into It can be used as an internal supermarket or staff restaurant.
The Jiangnan-style courtyard can be changed into a formal courtyard for Mr. Xu to live in. "
Xu Liang was a little excited when he heard it.
After Hongmeng's headquarters moved here, it was too far away from the courtyard house in Shichahai, and it would be too time-consuming to go both ways. If there is a courtyard here, it will be convenient for him to live and rest.
“The remaining waterside pavilions and pavilions were changed into ancillary landscapes in the park.” Xie Wen continued.
Xu Liang nodded slightly and said, "If we change this, the land in the World Customs Park may not be enough for us."
The planned flying saucer shape requires a complete 420-acre open space .
Coupled with the attached employee community and commercial buildings, 680 acres of land is definitely not enough.
“There is still open space around the park. We can discuss it with the city government and Fengtai District Government. Especially the latter hopes that technology giants like us will settle here, so they have given us many preferential policies.< br>
For example, getting land at a 30% discount, coordinating bank loans, tax incentives, and assisting local residents in relocating, etc."
Xu Liang nodded slightly, "It seems that you have already made plans."
Xie Wen smiled and waved, and the secretary quickly took out a map from his handbag and handed it over.
Take it and unfold it.
“I plan to buy all this piece of land.”
Xu Liang looked at it, then turned his head: “Lao Xie, do you know that I made money?”
< br>Xie Wen smiled and said: "I don't know, but I can guess some."
"Guess?"
"The fact that you invited Wall Street investment banks and financial giants to the cocktail party has spread throughout the wealthy circles in China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Many people have asked me about the authenticity of this matter.
I think it can attract greed. The Wall Street vultures must have seen huge benefits from their boss."
Xu Liang nodded, "You are still smart."
"You are too complimentary. It’s not difficult to guess. It’s just that outsiders don’t know you as well as I do, so they are not sure that you can invite so many financial giants.”
Xu Liang nodded and did not continue the topic, looking at Xie Wen’s drawings. area drawn above.
South of Wujiacun Road, west of Xiaotun Road, east of Zhangyicun Road, and north of Meishikou Road.
The entire area adds up to more than 2,500 acres, which is almost the area of 3.5 world style gardens.
This is too big.
"Lao Xie, what do we need so much land for?"
"In addition to our own use, there should be half of the land left. These lands can be used to build 5A-level office buildings. I believe that with the development of Hongmeng There will be many startups and technology companies interested in the establishment of the headquarters
In addition, high-end apartments and commercial complexes can also be built, which will not only be convenient for Hongmeng’s employees, but also make enough money. "
Xu Liang shook his head, "Hongmeng is a technology company, not a real estate company. ”
“Of course I know this. However, Hanhua and Hongyan are indeed investment companies, and real estate investment is also a major category of investment. Top international investment institutions Carlyle and Sequoia have real estate investment funds.
It just so happens that you are not short of money now, so Hongyan can jointly develop with Hongmeng. We are only responsible for the headquarters, and you are responsible for the rest. Try to keep the benefits of real estate appreciation caused by the relocation of Hongmeng headquarters within us. ” ”
"Because your career is no longer just Hongmeng."
Xu Liang smiled and nodded, "Your idea is indeed good. But you are still conservative. If Hongyan really wants to develop real estate here, this One piece is the essence.”
Xu Liang pointed to the land between Lianshi East Road and Wujiacun Road.
The size is equivalent to two world style gardens.
“Mr. Xu, everyone can see this beautiful place, and it’s not good for us to eat alone.”
"Of course we won't eat alone, but the biggest portion must be ours." Xu Liang said firmly.
“As a result, the land we want to develop will be too large, and the city government may not agree.” Xie Wen worried.
Three thousand acres of land is too big. This is a huge project.
We are at the feet of the emperor again. If we don’t want one, the impact will be too great.
"I will solve this."
Xu Liang is confident enough to negotiate all these places.
And it doesn’t cost him any money to develop these lands.
Waiting for the return on his several investments to come out, he will definitely be able to raise a large amount of money. When the time comes, the money will be used to invest in real estate, which will take into account everyone's interests. Hongyan will also make money, consolidating and enhancing his reputation in the investment industry.
As for his own money, he can invest it in more profitable projects.
Looking at his confident look, Xie Wen didn’t say much.
"Let's go back to the company."
Hongmeng Company's current headquarters is far away in Chaoyang, and it will take more than half an hour to go back.
Xu Liang and Xie Wen took a car, just in time to chat about work.
