Chapter 301 Interests
Of course, engaging in this kind of development is not as easy as just saying it, and there will definitely be many specific difficulties during the implementation process. The first issue to be solved is the ownership of the land. To build a house privately, you must first buy land. Only then will the house built on your own land be legal. People in this era did not have the concept of buying land, building houses and then selling them to others to live in. Therefore, the real estate development plan proposed by Tao Donglai seemed a bit too complicated for Wang Qin. It took a long time to explain each operation detail.
If this industry wants to be promoted in the current Ming Dynasty, it will inevitably face various difficulties. Merchants with operational capabilities may not have confidence in real estate development, and the public may not buy into this emerging thing. But in the Sanya area where the Cross-Travel Group is in power, the operability is much stronger.
First of all, almost all the local land ownership rights have been taken over by Chuanchuan Group, and Yazhou officials, who have been bought in place, will not take the initiative to make things difficult on related issues. In this way, disputes over land ownership are unlikely to arise during the development process. .
Secondly, there is indeed a rigid demand for housing in the local area, and there are objective conditions for the development of real estate projects. The current resident population in Sanya has exceeded 10,000, and more than 90% of the people still live in traditional wooden boat-shaped houses. Moreover, the property rights of the houses are in the hands of the executive committee. People are interested in owning their own real estate as soon as possible. Strong desire. As Sanya's local industries prosper, the population import rate will gradually accelerate, and the demand for real estate will further expand. By then, it will not be a question of whether the house can be sold, but whether it can be bought.
The last and most important point is that there are senior professionals like Tao Donglai on the executive committee, who are very familiar with operating real estate development projects. Compared with those construction projects that lack practical experience and need to fumble forward, real estate is undoubtedly the target that "Qiong Lianfa" is preparing to promote to future shareholders.
Wang Qin was very excited after listening to Tao Donglai's explanation. His fingers slowly rubbed the book as if holding a gold brick. Tao Donglai was not in a hurry to urge him to make a decision, but quietly waited for him to think it through.
After a long while, Wang Qincai asked again: "Excuse me, Mr. Tao, how can I obtain the qualifications to participate in the 'Qiong Lianfa'?"
Tao Donglai raised three fingers and said: "As long as three conditions are met. First, you must be our trading partner and have an account at Haihan Development Bank."
Wang Qin nodded. This condition is indeed reasonable. According to what they said, every project must raise shares and distribute dividends, so the amount of money exchanges must be very large in operation. The Haihan people will naturally have to use their own channels and institutions. Only by managing these funds can you feel at ease.
"Second, you must deposit 10,000 taels of silver in the 'Haihan Development Bank' as a credit guarantee. Of course, this does not mean that the money cannot be withdrawn, but if the deposit is withdrawn, it will automatically indicate that you have given up on the 'Qiong Lianfa' After all, we have invested a lot in preparing these projects, and we are doing this to prevent others from causing harm. I think Boss Wang will understand our painstaking efforts.”
Wang Qin frowned slightly, thinking that this was not just a deposit, but also setting a barrier to entry. The owner who can put up ten thousand taels of silver as a deposit in the "Haihan Development Bank" is naturally rich. But for those who want to join the wealthy family, this deposit will keep them out. From this small detail, Wang Qin can also feel how big the Haihan people's plans are - in order to save trouble, they don't even plan to take their children to play. If they can enter this circle and obtain the qualification of "Qiong Lianfa" shareholder The people must be well-known wealthy businessmen and gentry.
"As for the last point..." Tao Donglai paused before continuing: "Businesses who participate in shares must obey our share subscription method."
"What does this mean?" Wang Qin, who was pondering the Haihan people's intentions, immediately came back from his thoughts and asked.
"In all development projects of Qiong Lianfa, our Haihan side must hold 51% of the shares, and the remaining 49% will be sold to other shareholders." Tao Donglai explained: "In the future, various operations-related Resolutions will be made by the 'Qiong Lianfa' shareholder meeting. When it comes to specific projects, whoever has the most shares has the final say! I must make this clear to Boss Wang first, so as not to worry about this in the future. Misunderstanding.”
Wang Qin thought to himself that the Haihan people were indeed very thoughtful, and they were trying their best to seize the leadership of the business. However, it seems that the Haihan people are blameless for doing this. After all, the project was funded by them, the implementation location is also on their land, and the specific operations are carried out by their people. As the shareholders who contributed the capital, the only thing they need to do seems to be to wait. Collected money.
As for whether the projects undertaken by Haihan people will suffer losses, Wang Qin is not worried at all. It has been half a year since the Haihan people appeared in Guangzhou, but I have never heard of them having any business losses. From the opening of the Guangzhou Guangdong Office to the present, I don’t know how many people have come to me hoping to do business with the Haihan people, but they have all been declined by the Haihan people - even "Fu Ruifeng", which has the closest relationship with the Haihan people, seems to have We haven't reached the stage of joint venture yet.
Now the Haihan people have taken the initiative to recruit shareholders to jointly operate the company. After this news spreads, the local wealthy businessmen in Guangzhou will try to take over. However, these three conditions can raise the threshold a lot. After all, many people still have doubts about the true strength of the Haihan people, and may not dare to bet money on the Haihan people. Only those adventurous maritime merchants who have actually been to Victory Port and seen the Haihan people's family background will probably have enough courage to participate in this joint venture plan.
From the moment he read the plan documents, Wang Qin himself decided to persuade the big boss to participate in the Haihan people's plan. Wang Qin dare not say where this "Qiong Lianfa" will go in the end, but judging from Haihan people's plans, there are so many projects to be carried out, and the capital that will be involved after the establishment of "Qiong Lianfa" I'm afraid it will exceed one million taels. Looking at the thousands of miles of land and rivers in the two provinces of Fuzhou and Guangzhou, such a large deal should be unique. As for the profits that can be earned, it must be astronomical. This opportunity must not be missed.
At that moment, Wang Qin initialed a letter of intent for cooperation with Tao Donglai on behalf of the "Haifeng" and immediately revised a letter and sent someone to rush it to Huizhou Prefecture together with the letter of intent.
Wang Qin was able to make a decision so readily, which was actually what they expected. The interviewees arranged by Schneider were basically people who had some in-depth contact with the Time Travel Group, who had personally been to Victory Port and witnessed the "Miracle of Haihan". These people believe in the strength and earning power of the Haihan people, but do not have much ambition for the land on Qiongzhou Island. This is also an important reason why the executive committee did not find cooperative merchants in Qiongzhou locally, but went all the way to Guangzhou to implement this plan. .
No matter how much local merchants in Qiongzhou trust Chuan Chuan Group, they will still have the intention to purchase local land, which is contrary to the public ownership of land that Chuan Chuan Group wants to promote. About 70% to 80% of the development projects of "Qionglianfa" will involve land ownership. If we seek cooperation with local merchants, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the later stage. Therefore, when the relevant departments formulated this plan, they had no intention of attracting local merchants in Qiongzhou from the beginning. On the other hand, merchants in the mainland are less likely to have this problem - even if they want to invest in land after making money, they will give priority to returning to the mainland to buy land instead of competing with the Cross-Travel Group on Qiongzhou Island.
As for how much land Chuanchuan Group will occupy on Qiongzhou Island, this is not a question that shareholders in the mainland will care about. For merchants like "Haifeng Hao", what they care about most is actually the amount of investment, the length of the investment period and the income status. Tao Donglai did not give very clear answers to these questions, because the capabilities demonstrated by the Time Travel Group in less than a year have actually been well proven to everyone. Now onlookers need to consider It's not about whether or not to follow the banker Haihan, but how to get the banker to take them to play the next game together.
And what Cross Group needs is not just the funds provided by these shareholders. After having immediate interests, Chuanchuan Group has the opportunity to obtain more social resources from Ming Dynasty through this cooperative relationship, especially the supply of raw materials, labor force and technical population. With the support of a group of powerful local people will be greatly improved. In turn, Chuanchuan Group can make full use of the social influence of these shareholders to export more industrial products to Ming Dynasty as well as the values that the executive committee has been working hard to promote externally. One of the purposes of the executive committee is to use a business model like "Qiong Lianfa" to speed up the local development of Qiongzhou on the one hand, and to cultivate a group of more powerful stakeholders in Daming on the other. When the Cross-Travel Group begins to expand its power to the mainland in the future, these stakeholders will be able to play a greater role.
After sending Wang Qin away, He Xicai, who had been silent for a long time, said: "We should now consider the issue of expanding the Guangdong Office. After the escort agency opens, the Guangdong Office will definitely set up an office here, and maybe there will be an office here." It will take some permanent staff, not to mention Qiong Lianfa. We have people from us and people from shareholders. The organization is so complicated. I estimate that after it is established, it will need at least one as big as the Guangdong Office. The yard will do.”
"Buy the surrounding land first and expand outward with the Guangdong Office as the center." Tao Donglai also agreed with He Xi's suggestion and immediately made a decision: "This matter can be started immediately. I As a witness, go back and submit a written formality to the executive committee.”
"I don't think it's better. The Guangzhou Office is so close to the Pearl River. We should try to buy as much land as possible in the south. It would be best to occupy a section of the river bank and build a dock of our own. In the future, when our people come to Guangzhou to do business, it should be convenient to enter. Some," Schneider also suggested.
"Build a few more yards by the Pearl River and claim them as warehouses. If necessary, some manpower can be stationed. If possible, it would be best to build them as military fortresses." He Xi added.
"This is possible...but have you roughly calculated how much land you need to buy and how much it will cost to buy this land?" Tao Donglai asked, touching his chin.
"I have calculated that if we want to connect the Guangdong Office to the riverside, we will probably need to buy more than 30 acres of land. As for the land price, it will not be very expensive. Although it is very close to Guangzhou City, it is It is undeveloped wasteland and can be purchased for about two to three thousand taels of silver. The real cost is the construction cost of the subsequent yard construction. If it is built according to our standards, it will definitely not be affordable without spending tens of thousands. " He Xi clicked her tongue and said, "It's not that easy to approve the tens of thousands of yuan spent reported to the executive committee, right?"
What He Xi said was true. It cost 2,500 taels to purchase the yard of the Guangdong Office in Guangzhou. However, after several renovations, reconstructions, and expansions, the cost was already several times the cost of the house. Almost ten thousand taels of money have been spent on building the Guangdong Office in Guangzhou, which is well up to the standards of a finely decorated house. This still accounts for the large amount of building materials and technicians provided by Victory Port. If local merchants in Guangzhou want to imitate an identical courtyard, the cost will probably be doubled on this basis.
Of course, these expenses are still worth it in the eyes of the staff of the General Office. There are about ten members of the Cross-Traveling Community living here for a long time, so the living conditions cannot be too bad. In addition, this place also shoulders the mission of displaying the external image of Chuan Chuan Group. Therefore, it is almost renovated in accordance with the highest decoration standards that the Ministry of Construction can achieve today. It is much more careful than the Chuan Chuan Group station in Victory Port.
This "Haihan style" home environment has also led to a wave of imitation in the Guangzhou area. So far, dozens of complete sets of sanitary ware and hot water boilers have been sold from the Guangdong Office. In particular, the white porcelain toilet bowl produced by Haihan has now become a standard feature in the homes of local dignitaries. The Guangzhou Guangdong Office even called the base camp and asked the crafts department to design and produce a more luxurious and high-end version, such as blue and white porcelain, enamel porcelain, or Special editions made of precious woods such as red sandalwood and huanghuali to satisfy the bad tastes of those wealthy people who are not short of money.
There is also the ubiquitous glass in the General Office of the People's Republic of China, which is enough for local wealthy people to imitate. The half-square inlaid glass window is made of almost all scraps and fragments from the Shengli Port Glass Factory. The production cost is only two or three yuan in circulation coupons, but the price after being shipped to Guangzhou is as high as fifty taels. , and the bi-fold door with a larger glass inlaid area has remained at a high price of more than 200 taels. Industrial products with extremely low technical content, such as glass tiles, can be sold for five taels a piece in the Guangzhou market because of the "Haihan" mark, and demand often exceeds supply.
Chuanchuan Group's investment in the Guangdong Office is not small, but the results are also obvious, greatly boosting the sales of related products and the development of the local manufacturing industry in Shengli Port. Tao Donglai smiled and said: "Don't blindly expect the Executive Committee to solve some problems for you. You should also focus on the local area. The Executive Committee has given you such a large authority, just hoping that you can have the function of self-production of blood as soon as possible."< br>
Upon hearing this, Schneider understood what Tao Donglai meant: "Mr. Tao, do you mean that we can solve the expansion problem of the Guangzhou Guangdong Office through self-raised funds?"
Tao Donglai smiled and nodded without saying a word. When He Xi heard Schneider's question, he suddenly understood: "Don't we still have a bank here? How can we be short of money... But we draw funds from our own bank, is this appropriate?"
< br>
"Of course it's inappropriate to withdraw funds, that's embezzlement of public funds!" Schneider immediately corrected: "But we can use legal methods to mobilize funds, such as applying for a loan from a bank."
"This is an attempt to circumvent the policy!" He Xi, who once served in the police department, immediately pointed out the danger.
"This requires Mr. Shi to grasp the balance himself." Tao Donglai said: "Mr. Shi is the bank supervisor. Only you know the bank's cash flow situation best. On the other hand, you are the head of the Guangdong Office in Guangdong. You also know the financial situation of your business best. Whether you should borrow money from a bank or not, and how much you want, only you can control.”
Schneider shrugged and said: "It seems that I haven't done anything yet, so I have to prepare to take the blame first. Well, I will wait until I think about it carefully before making a decision. But from a process perspective, I think this There is no problem, Qiong Lianfa is also our company, can't we apply for a loan from the bank? From the perspective of the Guangdong Office, although the main body has changed, the principle is actually the same as long as the Guangdong Office has enough. Profitability and repayment ability, I don’t think there will be any problem with this.”
Chuanchuan Group has always maintained a relatively large trade surplus in the process of business with Daming. After realizing the universal deposit and exchange between the two places through the financial institution "Haihan Development Bank", the cash in Guangzhou has been relatively sufficient for a long time. state. And if this money is always kept in the vault of the General Office of the People's Republic of China, it will be difficult to generate additional value. We must find ways to make it circulate. The customers who loaned money to Daming seemed to be a little more aggressive, so the business development plan designed by Schneider was to first provide loans for various internal construction and development projects, and then consider launching this business to Daming after a certain foundation was established.
After receiving the approval of the Executive Committee, there is no doubt about the future profitability of "Qiong Lianfa". Loans from the central bank to "Qiong Lianfa" for future projects are also an operation method recognized by the Executive Committee. Putting aside Schneider's special status, from an institution-to-institution perspective, there is indeed no big problem with bank loans to the Guangdong Office in Guangzhou, which needs funds to expand its scale.
