In order to facilitate travel in Haojiang, Su Cheng bought three Mercedes-Benz cars and three Volkswagen commercial vehicles directly from the largest car dealer in Haojiang that day.
Although you can borrow the official car of the Governor's Palace, it is not necessary at all.
Cars, in the eyes of ordinary people in this era, may be luxury accessories, but in Su Cheng's view, three Mercedes-Benz cars cost only more than 200,000 Haojiang coins. , one car doesn’t even cost 100,000 Haojiang coins.
As for the total price of the three Volkswagen commercial vehicles, it only cost a few hundred thousand Haojiang dollars.
Since the exchange rates of Haojiang dollar and Hong Kong dollar are not much different, there is no big difference between them.
As for Rolls-Royce, one in Hong Kong only costs HKD 300,000 to 400,000.
The market here is not big. There are basically no specialized independent brand car stores. Even ultra-luxury brands like Rolls-Royce can only be bought in Xiangjiang. You can buy them here. Buying a Mercedes-Benz was already a surprise for Sioux City.
The territory of Haojiang is so big. Let’s take the Haojiang Peninsula, the most prosperous area of Haojiang. The area of the entire peninsula is only 9 square kilometers. Even if you walk along the coastline, it doesn’t need to be too long. It only takes a short time to complete a tour, so except for some bosses and wealthy people, there are not many people buying cars. Bicycles and motorcycles are enough.
Most people's lives are either only on the Haojiang Peninsula or on Taipa Island. It is rare to go out once in a while, and even if they go out, there is public transportation.
In the evening, Su Cheng moved into the largest and most luxurious villa he had bought for the first time.
As for the other five buildings, three of them are rented and the remaining two are for rent.
Except for Su Cheng, the other generals were arranged to stay at the Pujing Hotel.
It’s not that Su City is unwilling to give the villa to these people for temporary residence, but except for this villa in Su City, the other villas do not have new furniture, toiletries, etc., so it is better to let them live in the villa temporarily. They stay in the most luxurious hotels with good service.
The villa where Su Cheng lives is a little larger than his Su family villa.
After all, Haojiang is nothing compared to the city center of Xiangjiang, where every inch of land is precious. Otherwise, he would not have been able to buy this building, which is even more luxurious than the Su family villa, for just over 500,000 Haojiang coins. Bought the villa.
If this were placed in the Baijia Road area of Hong Kong, such a villa would be worth more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars every minute.
Zheng Qingbo's arrangements were indeed good. He sent people to completely renovate this villa.
In addition, all furniture and appliances have been replaced with new ones.
In addition, Tianqi Property Company has a dedicated housekeeper. Even if Su Cheng does not live in this villa regularly, people will often come to clean it, so the overall hygiene of the villa is very clean.
However, after all, Su Cheng has no feelings for this villa and does not regard it as a real home. Therefore, for Su Cheng, this is just a temporary place for him to live.
In the blink of an eye, another night passed.
Su Cheng regretted not bringing Gillian and Amei over this time. Otherwise, he would have had a very comfortable time here.
There are many beauties in Haojiang. If he wants, the beauties will queue up and be delivered to his door.
However, Su Cheng is not such a casual person. He will only touch the women he likes.
This is why Su Cheng is so rich now, and there are only two women in Xiangjiang who can be considered girlfriends, Zhong Chuhong and Guan Jiahui.
As for Gillian and Ami, they haven't reached the level of girlfriends yet. At most, they are a bit like the maids who lived with each other in ancient times.
Early the next morning, Su Cheng got up early.
In general, he felt that he was still comfortable living there in Xiangjiang.
Having a casual breakfast at a Cantonese breakfast restaurant on the street, Su Cheng, accompanied by bodyguards, arrived at a building called Haojiang Business Building.
This building is not very high, the whole building is only 15 floors, but it is already among the top three tallest buildings in Haojiang. In later generations, Haojiang was full of tall buildings.
But Haojiang in this era is completely different.
Not to mention other places, the area near the Pujing Hotel is basically dominated by dilapidated several-story buildings.
Because, the development direction of Haojiang in this era is not like that of Xiangjiang, and many of them are business-oriented.
Haojiang is mainly focused on the gaming and tourism industries. There are not many financial industries here, and there are not many headquarters of large companies, so there are not many commercial buildings in Haojiang.
This Haojiang commercial building only took five years to build. After Su Cheng planned to invest in Haojiang, he found information and asked Tianqi Property Company to buy it.
The price is not high, Su City only cost 5 million Haojiang dollars, and the location is still in the most prosperous city center of Haojiang.
If such a location and such a building were to be built in Hong Kong, it would cost at least tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
This is the difference between Haojiang and Xiangjiang today.
Over in Xiangjiang, the financial and commercial industries are developed, and the supply of commercial buildings exceeds demand. It is not difficult to buy them or even rent them out.
But here in Haojiang, it's different. Large companies have their own buildings, while small companies rarely rent commercial buildings for offices.
So, according to Su City’s understanding, before the Haojiang Commercial Building was bought in Su City, the occupancy rate of the entire building was only a pitiful 30%.
If such a location and such a landmark building were placed in Xiangjiang, such a rental rate would be unimaginable.
Just like the Federal Building that Sioux City took over, today’s New Su Group Building, before Sioux City took over, the vacancy rate of the Federal Building was only 20%, which means that the occupancy rate reached 80% .
This is why Su City only spent 5 million Haojiang dollars to acquire this building. When converted into Hong Kong dollars, it was even less than 5 million Hong Kong dollars.
Moreover, it was very smooth to take over this building.
When he learned that someone was interested in this building, the original owner who originally offered 7 million Haojiang coins directly bargained the price down to 5 million Haojiang coins in Suzhou. I agreed without even counter-offering.
This almost made Su Cheng think that his counteroffer was too little.
What Su Cheng didn’t know was that the original owner had already wanted to sell the building because the occupancy rate was too low.
However, it is not easy at all to sell this building.
At the beginning, he also saw how profitable the commercial buildings in Xiangjiang were, so he planned to try developing commercial buildings in Haojiang.
As you can imagine, the result was a complete failure.
Not to mention the low occupancy rate, the rent is still cheap, but if it is expensive, no one will rent it.
This led to the fact that he had been investing in this building for several years, and it was impossible to make a return on rent, let alone make money.
So, in the past two years, the owner has already planned to sell the building at a loss.
However, even if it is sold at a loss, it is not easy to find a taker.
So, Su Cheng got a good deal. (End of this chapter)
