Chapter 631 There is something wrong with your orientation
Facing Li Yiwen's ridicule, Lu Yiming immediately said: "What are you talking about?"
Li Yiwen teased, "I can't think of any other reason. How could the Chen family spend 30 billion in the mainland and let you take advantage of it?"
The cooperation between Fushi Real Estate and Home Inn really makes many people confused.
After all, before the cooperation, Home Inn's valuation was only a few hundred million yuan, and it was propped up by relying on Lu Yiming's face, which was very exaggerated.
However, Fu's Real Estate is the core enterprise under Chen Zefu's name. The funds it can mobilize alone amount to tens of billions, and the scale of assets it manages is as high as tens of billions.
The cooperation between the two is more like a "charity" from Fushi Real Estate to Home Inn.
So many people don’t understand the logic here, even though Fu’s Real Estate obviously has many better options.
However, Lu Yiming knew that the Chen family was betting on the fate of the country, not temporary gains or losses.
"Do you think the Chen family is stupid? Old Master is very calculating. He is planning to use my name to pave the way for his granddaughter."
"His granddaughter? Chen Jinlan?"
Li Yiwen immediately thought of the fashionable-looking girl he met during the Chinese New Year.
Lu Yiming sighed, "Yes, I guess they are planning to let Chen Jinlan take over part of the industry, so she is the one who came forward to discuss cooperation this time, and it is even possible that she is using my influence to publicize the Chen family's determination to invest in the mainland. You said that if the 30 billion investment is announced, let alone how much will be realized in the end, will the local officials be able to sit still? They still cooperate with me."
After Lu Yiming said this, Li Yiwen immediately came to his senses. How could this be letting Lu Yiming take advantage? This was simply using a brush to get the wool from Lu Yiming.
"As expected, the old ones are the wisest. It looks like he has invested 30 billion, which is a huge investment, but in fact, the invisible income has probably paid back the money!"
If the Chen family were to call for an investment of 30 billion yuan, it would be hard to say how many people would support it.
But who is Lu Yiming?
That's the tough guy who just invested 20 billion in Zhonghai to develop chips!
The Chen family, taking advantage of their partnership with Home Inn, announced that they would invest 30 billion in the mainland. Who would dare not believe it?
Then, Li Yiwen asked with some concern: "Aren't you worried that the Chen family is just bluffing, taking advantage of local officials, and then hoarding land like Li Chaoren and waiting for the price to go up?"
Announcing an investment of 30 billion yuan will surely gain the attention of local officials. Not only will there be policy and tax incentives, but more importantly, the land can be acquired at a low price.
The scary thing is that the Chen family will follow Li Chaoren's pattern, taking the land but not developing it, and instead sitting back and enjoying the fruits of their labor, fleecing the mainland.
If the Chen family really did this, Lu Yiming might be dragged into it as well.
Although Lu Yiming didn't know the Chen family in depth, he had read a lot of Li Chaoren's street literature. He said, "From my contact with them, the Chen family is different from the Li family. Mr. Chen is really optimistic about the economic development of the mainland, so the 30 billion investment is probably true. And the cooperation between Fu's Real Estate and Home Inn has really made me gain a lot of benefits, so how can you let me object?"
Lu Yiming was not angry about his reputation being exploited. After all, in business, it was a matter of you taking advantage of me and I taking advantage of you.
What's more, the Chen family has given benefits as well. Harmony between the two sides brings wealth, which is good for you, me and everyone.
Li Yiwen said in surprise: "You're betting 30 billion on the development of the mainland economy? Aren't you afraid of losing and wasting 30 billion?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "You just said that they are old hands. There are still many smart people in this world. Take the land hoarding issue you just mentioned. If you carefully study the 1988 amendments to the Constitution and the Land Management Law of our country, you will find that it formally stipulates that land use rights can be transferred in accordance with the law and that there is a paid use system for state-owned land."
Li Yiwen didn't have time to study these laws, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the problem?"
Lu Yiming said: "To put it bluntly, this law allows the government to sell land directly."
"Selling land?"
"Yes. Do you know what 'land finance' is? To put it bluntly, where does the money come from when the local economy wants to develop? In the past, it was allocated by the state, but after the amendment, it was solved by selling land."
Li Yiwen immediately figured out the relationship between the two and exclaimed, "Fuck, won't the land price continue to rise in the future?"
Lu Yiming said: "The 1994 Urban Real Estate Management Law clearly stipulated the way of land transfer, that is, auction and bidding can be adopted. In 1998, the welfare housing distribution policy was abolished to promote the development of the commercial housing market. This is actually paving the way for official land sales step by step."
The more Li Yiwen listened, the more frightened he became. With the official intervention personally, the soaring land prices have become an inevitable trend. As long as Xia's economic development does not stagnate, this trend will not be interrupted.
He finally calmed down a little and said, "I was wondering why there are so many real estate companies opening recently. It turns out there are so many smart people."
Lu Yiming said meaningfully: "People who understand this trend have basically started to place bets, so the Chen family is not investing recklessly, but really betting on the fate of Xia Country."
At this point, Lu Yiming couldn't help but think of the Xia Kingdom in his previous life. Since 2003, land finance has gradually begun to show results. The annual land finance revenue of various places accounts for more than 40% of the local fiscal revenue. In some cities such as Suzhou and Hangzhou, the proportion is even more frightening.
In the following decade, land transfer fee income rose steadily, reaching about 5 trillion yuan in 2017, while commercial housing sales revenue was only 13 trillion yuan.
From this, we can calculate that the land cost directly accounts for 40% of the new housing. It is these red pillars that lock the housing prices.
As for the evil real estate developers and speculators, they are nothing more than players in the real estate economy. Although they also have many weird operations, how can they compare to the referee himself?
Li Yiwen frowned, as if he remembered something, and said: "But..."
However, before he could finish, Lu Yiming interrupted him and said, "Making money is not bad. If the country wants to promote urbanization, it needs a large amount of construction funds. If we don't sell land, where will the money come from?"
Li Yiwen was speechless after being asked this question. Finally, he sighed and said, "No wonder you always said that the essence of real estate is a kind of tax. So this is how the tax is collected."
Lu Yiming said: "So if you want to buy a house, the sooner the better, even if you have to borrow money, you will make a profit if you buy it."
Li Yiwen then became confused again: "According to this trend, the housing prices are being pushed by the government. Should we find a way to buy more land? "
Lu Yiming said: "I have been thinking about this recently. The future development focus of the fund will be on the mainland's real estate market. In addition to holding some stocks with good potential, the remaining money will be used to buy properties."
Although I don’t plan to speculate in real estate, it’s not a bad idea to buy it as a fixed asset investment.
If the chip business runs out of money, wouldn’t the funding problem be solved by selling a building? Just treat it as a safety net.
Li Yiwen smiled and said, "This is a good idea. The money in the Future Fund comes from Hong Kong investors. We can use their money to invest in domestic real estate. We only need to pay about 10% 'interest' every year. It's a good deal no matter how you calculate it. It's like getting something for nothing."
Just after finishing chatting with Li Yiwen, Lu Yiming received another call from Zhang Jinlai.
"Mr. Lu, I heard that you have a good relationship with Miss Chen. Can you help introduce her to me?"
Lu Yiming's face suddenly turned dark.
Li Yiwen had just said that the Li family had taken a fancy to him, and now another one came who had a good relationship with him. Lu Yiming always felt that something was strange.
"What do you mean good? Who told you it's good? How can I introduce you? Do you want me to use my beauty to lure you into a relationship?"
Zhang Jinlai thought about it and said, "That's not impossible."
"I can go to yours."
It is now common knowledge that the Chen family is going to invest 30 billion in the country. Driven by the huge profits, not only local governments are taking action, but also a group of hungry real estate developers.
This is a huge order worth 30 billion!
Whether Fu's Real Estate is renovating old buildings or buying land to build new hotels, there is a lot of money to be made, so it is naturally targeted by powerful domestic real estate developers.
Especially since Chen Jinlan is now in Baiyun, the project is about to be implemented.
Jingyi Real Estate has established a firm foothold in Baiyun with the Yiming Plaza project and has successfully completed several real estate projects. Its asset scale has greatly increased. However, compared with old powerhouses such as Jingwan Group and Sanhe Group, it is still unable to compete and is at an absolute disadvantage.
So Zhang Jinlai went straight to Lu Yiming without saying anything, hoping that Lu Yiming could act as a go-between and facilitate the cooperation.
After all, he is now the boss and can fight for business for his subordinates. Lu Yiming couldn't refuse and said immediately: "Okay, then I'll call and ask."
Zhang Jinlai was overjoyed: "With President Lu taking action, it will definitely come to fruition. It's a done deal."
Baiyun City.
Li Zixian had just got off work and was about to go home when she suddenly received a call from Chen Jinlan.
"Zixian, are you off work? Come out for some coffee."
Having not heard Chen Jinlan's voice for a long time, Li Zixian was also very surprised and joked, "I just got off work and haven't even taken off my makeup yet. Did you call me on time?"
Chen Jinlan said proudly: "I'm at the entrance of the TV station now, of course I know you're off work. Hurry up, I'll wait for you at the entrance."
"Okay, I'll be right down."
Half an hour later, Chen Jinlan saw Li Zixian in a suit at the door of the TV station.
"Wow, I haven't seen you for a while. You're becoming more and more feminine. I'm so moved."
Chen Jinlan came over, hugged Li Zixian, and was about to kiss her.
Li Zixian quickly dodged with a smile.
"You bastard, this is the entrance to the TV station, can't you be more reserved?"
Chen Jinlan hugged Li Zixian's arm and said, "Come on, I'll buy you some coffee."
The two went to a cafe and chatted while drinking coffee.
Chen Jinlan curled her lips and said, "I heard that you are getting married soon, congratulations."
Speaking of marriage, Li Zixian's face flushed with happiness, and then asked: "What about you? You haven't found a husband of your dreams in all these years? Your family doesn't urge you to get married?"
Speaking of this, Chen Jinlan was very distressed and complained depressedly: "Push me, why don't you urge me? You urge me every day! Because of this matter, I am so annoyed now that I don't even want to go home."
In this era, the concept of marriage is still very traditional and conservative. Girls are often approached for marriage proposals when they are 20 years old. If they are still unmarried at the age of 24 or 25, the neighbors will probably start gossiping about them. If they are still unmarried at the age of 30, it is a big deal. They will face a lot of ostracism, both overt and covert.
Li Zixian is a very ambitious woman who has been busy with her career and is finally getting out of being single. But Chen Jinlan's situation is completely different. After all, Chen Jinlan's situation is not about whether to get married or not.
Li Zixian asked Chen Jinlan curiously: "I heard that you found a girlfriend abroad?"
For a person with normal sexual orientation, Chen Jinlan's behavior can indeed bring a little shock, so much so that Li Zixian now feels very curious about this matter.
Chen Jinlan and Li Zixian grew up together, and Li Zixian was mature and steady, so Chen Jinlan always treated her as her elder sister. No one else was willing to listen to Chen Jinlan's choice, so when Li Zixian asked her, Chen Jinlan did not hide it, but admitted it openly: "Yes."
Li Zixian bit her lip lightly, a thoughtful expression on her face, probably wondering why Chen Jinlan had changed her sexual orientation. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is the reason you're looking for a girlfriend because of Zhao Guoli?"
Chen Jinlan's eyes flashed with ferocity, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Don't mention this person to me, it's disgusting!"
Chen Jinlan and Zhao Guoli can be considered as childhood sweethearts. They have been playing together since they can remember. After growing up, it was natural that they got the upper hand over each other, and they even reached the stage of discussing marriage.
The two know each other well and have a solid foundation. The Chen and Zhao families are also evenly matched, so they are happy to see it happen.
As a result, when the two were preparing to get married, Chen Jinlan found out one day that Zhao Guoli was dating her and using this identity to hook up with Chen Jinlan's best friends. Over the years, all the female friends around Chen Jinlan were slept with by Zhao Guoli. Fortunately, Li Zixian was studying in another place at that time, otherwise she would have been killed by him.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Chen Jinlan directly on the head. After the uproar, Chen Jinlan's personality changed drastically. Not only did she run away to study in Europe, but her disgust for Zhao Guoli also gradually expanded to the entire male community.
Although Chen Jinlan didn't even want to mention this name, Li Zixian had to mention it. She sighed and said, "Actually, he is in Baiyun City now. He has recently cooperated with our TV station on a project. I can see him often."
Chen Jinlan immediately said to Li Zixian worriedly: "Then you better be careful!"
Li Zixian laughed and said, "If he dares to have any improper thoughts about me, I will break all three of his legs."
Just at this moment, a person pushed the door open. The two of them looked over there inadvertently and were shocked to find that it was Zhao Guoli.
"It's really a narrow road for enemies."
Chen Jinlan didn't want to see Zhao Guoli at all, so she got up and left.
However, the cafe was so small that one could see the whole place at a glance. Zhao Guoli looked up and saw Chen Jinlan and Li Zixian. He immediately walked over with a look of surprise on his face: "Alan, Zixian, why are you here?"
Zhao Guoli came to Chen Jinlan, with a smile that he thought was brilliant: "Alan, I haven't seen you for many years. I miss you so much. After so many years, you have become more and more beautiful."
Chen Jinlan had a look of disgust on her face and whispered, "A good dog doesn't block the road!"
Zhao Guoli greedily stole a glance at Li Zixian's long legs in stockings and high heels, then made a bitter face and pleaded with Chen Jinlan: "Alan, so many years have passed, are you still angry with me? I know I was wrong. I was young and ignorant at that time. Can you forgive me?"
Chen Jinlan sneered: "You want me to forgive you? Unless the sun rises from the west, don't daydream about it."
The beautiful romance between them as childhood sweethearts completely disappeared when she left Hong Kong.
It was precisely because of her complete disappointment in love that Chen Jinlan completely let herself go in Europe, a country with extremely open sexual orientation.
However, Zhao Guoli still coveted Chen Jinlan. Although Chen Jinlan's attitude was cold, he still had a pitiful expression and said, "Alan, I really know I was wrong. In order to make up for my mistakes and reflect on my past actions, I have cut off contact with any woman. I originally thought that I was destined to die alone in this life, but I didn't expect that God would pity me and meet you here again today. Let's have dinner together tonight. I must tell you how much I miss you in these years..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Jinlan's cell phone rang. Chen Jinlan felt that she had never heard a cell phone ringtone so beautiful and pleasant in her life. She took out her cell phone and said to the phone, "Hello?"
The call was from Lu Yiming. In order to let Jingyi Real Estate also reap the benefits, he had to go back to Baiyun City in person to discuss cooperation with Chen Jinlan.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Lu Yiming. Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together and talk about cooperation."
"Okay, Mr. Lu."
The smile on Chen Jinlan's face spread from the corners of her mouth to the roots of her ears. This phone call was like saving her from dire straits.
"Okay, Mr. Lu, it's settled then. Let's have dinner together tonight and see you there. Bye."
When Lu Yiming suddenly heard Chen Jinlan's voice, he shivered involuntarily and muttered in his heart: Is this little girl having a seizure again?
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jinlan said with great joy: "Zixian, Mr. Lu is treating me to dinner tonight."
Zhao Guoli's face looked very bad, and he asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Lu... is he a man?"
