Chapter 66012346789
A piece of land alone was sold at a sky-high price of 1.7 billion yuan, which was still unbelievable in Xia Country where the real estate industry had not yet started to take off.
Think about it, the land transfer fee alone is 1.7 billion yuan, how much will it cost to develop it?
If too little money is spent on development and construction, people will feel that the project is half-hearted, leaving a bad impression, and the money will probably not be earned back.
If you want to make the money back, you have to do it in a big way and with a lot of gimmicks, which means you have to spend more money.
You can't spend four or five billion to develop a project, right?
This is unprecedented!
The most important thing is that the auction hasn’t ended yet!
1.7 billion may not even be the final number!
This is the most terrifying thing!
At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Bin.
Lu Yiming has already bid 1.7 billion, and it is impossible for others to continue bidding. Now the pressure is on Zhao Bin.
Everyone knows that Lu Yiming and Zhao Bin are fighting, and Zhao Bin has already lost the last round.
Now is Zhao Bin’s last chance.
Whether you can save face depends on this time of raising the sign!
Not only Liu Hang was encouraging him on the stage, but even Lu Yiming himself mocked him, "Go ahead, raise it. You're not going to stop, are you?"
"I……"
Looking at Lu Yiming's smug look, Zhao Bin was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
It can be said that as arrogant as Zhao Bin was in front of Lu Yiming before, he is as embarrassed in front of Lu Yiming now.
Zhao Bin looked at Luo Yongjie and asked with red eyes: "How is it? Can you get the money?"
Luo Yongjie shook his head slightly and sighed, "This price is already our limit. If we raise it any higher, our capital chain will be broken. We have to develop the products immediately after we buy them. If we can't develop them, they will be taken back, and billions of dollars will be wasted."
Although Zhao Bin was very unwilling to accept this result, he had to stop.
Facing countless gazes around him, Zhao Bin felt his face burning.
When had he ever been humiliated like this?
"Mr. Lu, you can do it! You win! Don't think that the matter is over. I want to see how you plan to develop the land after buying it!"
Lu Yiming squinted at him and said with disdain: "What's the matter? Are you admitting defeat? Ha, I thought you were so rich, but it turns out you are a poor guy who can't even afford more than a billion."
"you……"
Zhao Bin suddenly felt a darkness in front of his eyes.
Luo Yongjie beside him was also very angry. After all, he was the founder of Jiedi Group and a well-known figure in Zhonghai. Everyone who saw him would call him Mr. Luo? But now he was called a poor ghost by Lu Yiming.
On the stage, Liu Hang was still continuing his work.
No one continued to bid higher, and he still felt a little regretful.
"Seventeen billion once."
"Seventeen billion twice."
"Seventeen billion three times. Deal."
Having successfully acquired the two best pieces of land, Lu Yiming felt very satisfied.
The rest of the matters were left to Yu Jiayi to negotiate with the auction house. Lu Yiming called Xu Tengyu and briefly explained the situation.
After learning that Lu Yiming actually spent 3 billion to buy two plots of land, Xu Tengyu was also extremely shocked.
"You actually spent so much money to buy these two plots of land? Do you have enough cash to develop them? Do you want me to ask my fourth uncle to help you? Zhao Bin and Luo Yongjie will definitely not let it go. If they block your bank loan, it will be a big problem."
Real estate developers all borrow money from banks to operate their own projects. Xu Tengyu is very clear about the ins and outs here, and also knows how Zhao Bin and Luo Yongjie will block Lu Yiming.
But it was obvious that Xu Tengyu still underestimated Lu Yiming.
Lu Yiming said disdainfully: "What money do you want to borrow? There is no such thing. I have so much money that I don't know how to spend it."
Xu Tengyu, who came from a wealthy family and had never worried about money, felt like hitting someone after hearing this!
You just spent 3 billion in one go, and now you tell me you have so much money that you don’t know what to do with it. How the hell are you?
Lu Yiming's words once again gave Xu Tengyu a little shock of being the richest man.
However, Lu Yiming was not pretending. He really felt that he had made a great deal on the land purchase this time. After all, for him, not being able to spend the money now was the biggest loss.
If you only have a few hundred dollars in your pocket, you won't feel inflation because your money won't be spent easily.
But when you are above the middle class and have assets of several million, you will be able to feel how your property depreciates rapidly over time.
That’s why rich people are keen on financial management and even shout out the slogan “If you don’t manage your finances, your finances won’t manage you”.
What's more, Lu Yiming had just returned from the United States after making a fortune, and he had hundreds of billions of cash in his hands. As long as he didn't spend it all, he would lose money if he kept it, and the longer he kept it, the more he would lose.
When it comes to spending money, you must find ways to spend it, invest all your cash, and convert it into other forms of assets that can maintain or even appreciate in value. This is what Lu Yiming has to do.
That's why Lu Yiming has been spending a lot of money recently. Spending billions to buy land tonight is just the beginning, not the end.
The next day, the emergence of the new land king in Zhonghai City once again dominated the headlines of newspapers.
Even local wealthy families like the Zhao family and Luo Yongjie, a big boss in the real estate industry, became Lu Yiming's background and lost to the same young man.
On that day, people who read the newspaper all exclaimed in unison: "Gui Gui, three billion, how much money is that?"
One hundred million yuan in cash weighs 1,150 kilograms, and three billion yuan weighs 34,500 kilograms, which is more than 34 tons.
A Dongfeng 4×8 dump truck used to transport sand and gravel on a construction site has a load capacity of only 38 tons.
People outside were speculating about how much money Lu Yiming had, and many media outlets contacted him through various channels, wanting him to talk about how much money he had.
Of course Lu Yiming decisively refused.
He still understands the principle of not showing off one's wealth.
Saying how much money you have is like taking off all your clothes, washing yourself and jumping onto the chopping block to be slaughtered.
Despite all the disturbances in the outside world, Lu Yiming took it lightly. He was now discussing the development of the two plots of land with Li Yiwen.
Li Yiwen looked at the map on the table and asked, " What do ?"
Lu Yiming said: "I have already thought about replicating the model of Yiming Plaza to Zhonghai and making it a brand new upgraded version on a larger scale, and only renting it out, not selling it."
Li Yiwen expressed his incomprehension: "Only renting and not selling? Are you serious? No one in China dares to do this. It cost 3 billion just to buy the land. How can you make a profit if you don't sell it? It will take a long time to get the rent back."
Lu Yiming said bluntly, "They don't dare to do this because they don't have as much money as I do. After all, even if they get a bank loan through connections, they still have to pay it back. Even the construction funds for the buildings have to be paid in advance and by selling pre-sale properties. I'm not short of money, I don't need to borrow money from the bank, and I don't have the pressure of repayment. Isn't it nice for me to just hold on to these plots of land and wait for them to appreciate in value?"
As long as Xiaguo's economy can continue to grow at a high speed, the price of land will naturally become higher and higher. Moreover, this is a fixed asset, not the market value and stock price of an Internet company that may change today but not tomorrow.
As an anchor of assets, land, especially in first-tier cities like China Overseas, is undoubtedly the most valuable and stable, and you don’t have to worry about holding it for 30 years.
Lu Yiming's appetite was even bigger than Li Yiwen had imagined. Facing the map of Zhonghai on the table, Lu Yiming drew several circles around sites No. 6 and No. 7.
"If I have the chance, I plan to buy all of these properties and build them into high-end apartment buildings. By then, the monthly rent and property fees alone will be enough for me to make a fortune."
Li Yiwen glanced at the map and frowned as he said, "It seems like these places have already been taken care of, right?"
Lu Yiming seemed very calm about this: "It is indeed owned by someone, and they are two powerful families, the Zhao family and the Lu family of Zhonghai. They are well-informed and bought all the land that could be purchased nearby long before the land auction."
Li Yiwen was even more confused and looked at Lu Yiming: "I remember that Zhao Bin is from the Zhao family, and he doesn't look like a generous person. You confronted him head-on during the land auction and snatched food from his mouth. Will he be willing to sell the land to you?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Hey, I'm a young man, I don't follow martial ethics. If he doesn't sell it, I can cheat him or attack him by surprise."
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door. Li Yiwen went to open the door, only to find that it was Xu Tengyu.
Seeing Xu Tengyu, Lu Yiming was very happy and said, "I was just about to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come. This is really like saying Speak of the devil and he will appear."
Xu Tengyu asked curiously: "What do you want from me?"
Li Yiwen asked, "Mr. Xu, why are you free to come here today?"
Xu Tengyu said, "I saw in the newspaper that Mr. Lu spent 3 billion to buy land. I was thinking about it, but I felt that it was not going to make up for it, so I wanted to ask Mr. Lu for advice. Spending so much money to buy land, and then developing it later, the estimated cost is 500 million to 600 million. How do you make money?"
Lu Yiming did not directly answer Xu Tengyu's question, but smiled and said, "Doesn't Tengyu Logistics also need to acquire land anyway?"
Xu Tengyu thought that Lu Yiming meant to use the land he bought this time as a warehouse for Tengyu Logistics. He suddenly felt a little uneasy and quickly clarified, "It's true that I do have the idea of buying land, but my target is not a large piece of land like Plot 6 and Plot 7. I just want to build a distribution center according to the company's original plan, okay? Who would have thought that you would go so far!"
Spending 3 billion to build a warehouse in the city center?
What kind of brain circuit is this?
Seeing Xu Tengyu's constipated expression, Lu Yiming said confidently, "You know I invested in Alibaba, an e-commerce company, right? In fact, in my plan, e-commerce should be compared to Amazon in the United States. If you want to develop well, you have to build your own logistics and set up distribution centers all over the country."
Xu Tengyu had also been abroad, so he knew that Lu Yiming was not lying, and just muttered: "Are you sure this thing can work here?"
Lu Yiming continued, "Of course! Not only that, I can also tell you that the next few years will be a period of rapid development for large supermarkets and home appliance malls. Foreign companies such as Walmart will enter Xia Country first, and in the next few years, the two channel dealers, Ning and Mei, will also start a north-south competition. It will be so exciting to make money."
"What is this? Let me tell you, this is the wind outlet. If we stand on the wind outlet, even pigs can fly. We can't be worse than pigs, right? If we don't join now, others will eat meat while we won't even be able to drink soup in the future."
At this time, Lu Yiming had just earned tens of billions of dollars from the national crisis in the United States. He transferred the money back to China to buy land and waited for the real estate industry to rise. In the eyes of many people, this was very reasonable.
After all, isn’t it nice to just sit back and wait for your assets to go up without doing anything?
And what Lu Yiming said was also true, it was not all nonsense. After all, Mr. Huang, the boss of Guomei Mall, became the richest man in Xia Country in 2005 by selling home appliances, with assets of 14 billion. Two years later, his assets swelled to 45 billion.
Although it has not taken off yet, some development trends can be seen.
Xu Tengyu admired Lu Yiming's ability. After listening to Lu Yiming's plan, he couldn't help but sigh: "You are really ambitious. You actually want to run a large supermarket like Walmart, and you want to learn from Amazon to build your own logistics, and you also want to develop the business model of an electrical appliance mall. Are you planning to combine the strengths of many companies?"
Lu Yiming smiled confidently and said, "As long as you don't die from eating, you can eat until you die. You have to eat even if you are full. The most important thing for a person is greed."
But Xu Tengyu was still a little worried and said, "If we use these two plots of land to build a logistics center, I'm afraid we won't be able to achieve any results in the next ten or eight years. It's pure capital investment with no return. Aren't you afraid of losing money?"
Lu Yiming said, "What's there to be afraid of? Think about it, if nothing unexpected happens, the country's land area is 10 million square kilometers, so isn't that all the land? It's a completely non-renewable resource. How can you lose money by playing with non-renewable resources? And you guys, don't always think about buying something in a few days and then selling it tomorrow to make money. This kind of thinking is not right. You have to set your goals for the long term, don't you know?"
After tricking Xu Tengyu, once everyone left, Lu Yiming called an "old acquaintance."
Xiangjiang, in a tea restaurant in Central.
Zhao Dali, who has completely escaped poverty and become rich, is bragging to a few fellow villagers. Dressed in a suit and tie, he is telling the story of his rise to wealth, acting like a businessman.
Several fellow villagers who had lost money in stock trading and were crying for their parents listened attentively. Some even took out their phone books and used them as notebooks to take notes.
"Da Li, I never thought you would be so powerful now. It's true that Hong Kong is full of gold."
"Dalifa has become powerful, please take me with you."
"Dali, tell me how you made your fortune."
"Forget it, just tell me how to get rich."
They all came from the same place, and seeing Zhao Dali dressed in a suit and tie, everyone was extremely envious and wanted to pull Zhao Dali's trouser legs to ask him to wear it.
"What Zhao Dali? That's Brother Li, okay? From now on, Brother Li is my real brother!"
At this moment, Zhao Dali's cell phone rang. Zhao Dali took out his newly bought cell phone and said, "Excuse me, I need to answer the call."
Then he opened the lid with a snap and asked in high spirits, "Hello? Who is this?"
Lu Yiming's hearty laughter came from the phone: "Hello, Dali, long time no see, do you remember who I am?"
Hearing Lu Yiming's voice, Zhao Dali shuddered for no reason and quickly said with a smile, "I know, I know, Mr. Lu."
Lu Yiming joked, "How are you doing recently? Are you still lying everywhere?"
Zhao Dali got anxious when he heard this and said, "How can that be possible? I swear to God, we are now doing legitimate business!"
Lu Yiming asked, "Have your deceiving skills become rusty?"
Zhao Dali was suddenly embarrassed: "Boss Lu, what do you mean?"
Lu Yiming said lightly: "Nothing, I just want you to play a big boss from Hong Kong and help me cheat some stupid children from landlords' families."
Zhao Dali immediately broke out in a cold sweat and said with a wry smile, "Not so good, I really have turned over a new leaf, Mr. Lu. Cheating is against the law and you will go to jail."
He is now worth several million, so there is no need for him to continue to cheat and risk going to jail. Moreover, at Lu Yiming's level, he cannot afford to offend anyone he comes into contact with. If he is not careful, it will not be as simple as paying money and going to jail. He may not even know how he died.
If there are other better ways, who would be willing to risk their own life?
Lu Yiming yelled, "What are you talking about? What level am I? How can I do something illegal? Don't worry, I just came here to ask you to help me act out a show. How can I, a billionaire with a net worth of tens of billions, commit fraud? Are you kidding me?"
"real?"
"Of course it's true!"
Lu Yiming vowed: "After you complete this job, you will get the reward."
Zhao Dali thought about it in his mind, thinking that everything he had now was basically earned by Lu Yiming, and immediately made up his mind and said, "Okay, then I will trust President Lu."
After the call, Zhao Dali couldn't help but fall into deep thought. A fellow villager saw him and asked, "What's wrong with you? Tell us how to make money."
"Yes, yes, we are all from the same place. Now that you have made a fortune, you can't leave us alone, right?"
"Who called you just now? Did a big boss want to discuss business with you? Can I be included in the call?"
Zhao Dali looked at the people in front of him who were praising him highly, and he felt very happy in his heart. Although he didn't understand why Lu Yiming assigned him such a task, it didn't stop him from showing off in front of his fellow villagers.
"The person who called me just now was Mr. Lu Yiming, the youngest richest man in Xia Country! Have you heard of Mr. Lu? He is a tough guy with a net worth of tens of billions at a young age. Do you know what tens of billions means?"
