Chapter 871 Real Estate
At this time, Song Yuanchao still didn't know the purpose of this meal, and he had wasted all these years.
His eyes subconsciously looked at Luo Yang. Luo Yang seemed a little embarrassed. He didn't know Hu Yaoqing would do this. This was different from what Hu Yaoqing had told him before.
"Brother Hu, this matter..." Luo Yang couldn't help but interrupt and was about to say a few words when Song Yuanchao stopped him.
"Come on, let's have another drink?" Song Yuanchao raised the glass in his hand and said to Hu Yaoqing.
Hu Yaoqing was slightly startled and then laughed. He clinked his glasses with Song Yuanchao's and drank the wine in the glass. After putting down the glass, he heard Song Yuanchao say, "Doing business is a good thing. Now we are promoting economic development. I understand what you mean, brother Hu. Let's put it this way. I have some channels myself. I wonder what you and the others are going to do ? We are all family. There is no need to hide some things. What do you think?"
"Great!" Hu Yaoqing gave Song Yuanchao a thumbs up. He was surprised but also a little delighted. He said, "To be honest, I don't really know how to do business. At best, I have some connections and some money. It's not just me. Dongsheng, Guocong, and Xiaoyue are the same. When it comes to having fun, everyone is proficient, but it's hard to do real work..."
At this point, Hu Yaoqing sighed and shook his head, saying, "I'm a little tired of playing these past few years. It's boring to play too much, and the elders at home don't want me to continue playing like this. I have to find something serious to do, right? Logically speaking, a career in politics is the most suitable, but I know my temperament. This path is suitable for others but not for me, so I still want to do something else."
"Small fights and small things will never lead to anything, and I don't have the ability to do big things. This time I came to Jinling because Dongsheng and his friends asked me to come and have fun. They are similar to you and me, brother Hu, neither high nor low. Guocong is smart enough to create such a place, but it is still unclear whether it can succeed in the future."
Handing Song Yuanchao a cigarette, Hu Yaoqing said sincerely: "It was my idea to call you here today. Don't blame Luo Yang. In fact, I asked Luo Yang to invite you. Luo Yang didn't know what was going on. He called you for my sake."
"It's okay, Brother Hu, just tell us your own thoughts and everyone else's thoughts." Song Yuanchao smiled and expressed his understanding.
"Our idea is very simple. We want to do something serious. It would be best if we could make something famous. We want to show it to our elders at home and then find a job for ourselves. Of course, it would be even better if we can make money. Isn't there a popular saying now? Money is not everything, but we cannot live without money. What do you think?"
Smoking a cigarette, Song Yuanchao thought about it. Hu Yaoqing's words were ambiguous and it was hard to judge. Although Song Yuanchao had a good relationship with Hu Yaoqing, he still knew him well. Hu Yaoqing had a big appetite and he didn't care about ordinary small businesses. Although Hu Yaoqing was talking big now, if Song Yuanchao took it seriously and threw some small things at him, Hu Yaoqing might not be satisfied and might even offend him.
But the problem is that Song Yuanchao can't hand over the core business to Hu Yaoqing, unless Song Yuanchao is stupid. To put it bluntly, Hu Yaoqing wants a business that can do big things and make a lot of money, and it would be better if the time is short. For a while, Song Yuanchao didn't know what kind of business would be suitable for Hu Yaoqing and his team.
"There's no rush for this, Brother Song, you think about it first." Seeing Song Yuanchao thinking, Hu Yaoqing knew that this matter couldn't be rushed, and he also knew Song Yuanchao's background, so he couldn't go too far in this matter. As for Song Yuanchao, he just wanted to get on Song Yuanchao's side and make some money from him, not to turn against him or even snatch his business.
"To be honest, I do have a project here. If it is operated well, it will be good. I wonder if Brother Hu and you are interested?"
Just when Hu Yaoqing thought that Song Yuanchao would say that he would give him news after he went back and considered it, Song Yuanchao suddenly said this.
This made Hu Yaoqing, including Ke Dongsheng and others stunned, and then they showed joy.
"Do you know real estate?" Song Yuanchao asked.
" Real estate ? I've heard of this." Ke Dongsheng asked, "Is it the kind of business where you build and sell houses?"
"Haha, that's about right." Song Yuanchao smiled and immediately gave everyone a brief introduction to what real estate is.
Although Hu Yaoqing and his colleagues knew that the housing prices in China in recent years were not the same as before and that commercial housing and export housing had gradually appeared, the policies had only just been opened up and the real real estate industry had not yet formed the scale that it would a few years later.
Moreover, the current real estate opening is still in a very primitive and simple state. Generally, there are special housing management departments or it is directly carried out by government departments. Private enterprises cannot intervene at all. Of course, Pengcheng is an exception, but the problem is that they have not even been to Pengcheng.
"Brother Song, do you mean that there is a future in real estate? But why haven't I heard of the news that this channel has been opened? The policy has not been implemented yet?" Chi Yue couldn't help but ask.
"It's true that the opening has not been fully opened yet, and what you said is not wrong." Song Yuanchao nodded and gave a general introduction to Shenghua's real estate operations in Pengcheng. After listening to Shenghua's real estate operations in Pengcheng, Hu Yaoqing, who was very excited just now, suddenly lost interest, because in his opinion, doing real estate is really troublesome. Not only is it restricted due to policy reasons, but the investment is large and the return is slow.
"Brother, this thing is too complicated. A rough man like me can't understand it. Besides, I think it's really tiring to do this. Think about it, the investment is so huge, but in the end you don't make much money. Is it interesting to do it?" Hu Yaoqing said with an uninterested look.
"Brother Hu, don't be anxious. Since Brother Song mentioned this matter, you might as well listen to what Brother Song has to say." Ke Dongsheng advised from the side, looking at Song Yuanchao thoughtfully.
From the time they met until now, Song Yuanchao has also figured out the situations and personalities of these people, not to mention Hu Yaoqing, whom he has known for a long time.
Among the other three, Ke Dongsheng is the most thoughtful and the most intelligent. It seems that he plays the role of a military advisor to Hu Yaoqing, and Hu Yaoqing trusts him very much.
As for Chi Yue, this woman is quite clever, but she doesn't know much about business. The owner here, Zhai Guocong, is not so good. He is just a young man who relies on connections. Song Yuanchao knew from a few words that this person is ambitious but incompetent.
Song Yuanchao smiled faintly and told them that the domestic real estate industry has just started, and some of the current situations are indeed like this. Moreover, from the current point of view, the operating space of real estate is not large, and the profit of getting involved in this industry is not lucrative.
But this situation is temporary. Take Hong Kong, where the real estate industry is well developed, for example. Since the early 1970s, Hong Kong's real estate industry has begun to flourish. By the 1980s, Hong Kong's real estate had developed to a very prosperous level.
It is now 1990, and Hong Kong's real estate industry is still booming. Let's take Hong Kong's housing prices in the past 20 years as an example. How much was the housing price per square foot in Hong Kong in the beginning? And how much is the price now? The magnitude and speed of the increase are simply amazing.
Especially in the past two years, after experiencing the price drop from 1981 to 1984, the rate of increase in housing prices in Hong Kong has accelerated since 1985. In just two years, not only have the declines of a few years ago been recovered, but also a large increase has been made on this basis.
Now, many big bosses in Hong Kong are gradually shifting their businesses to real estate, such as Liu, who has close ties with Song Yuanchao. After Liu took over Chinese Estates, his main business began to develop from manufacturing to real estate, which is one of the reasons why Liu sold the electronics factory in Pengcheng to Song Yuanchao.
Currently, among the top ten richest people in Hong Kong, apart from the financial industry, most of them have close ties with the real estate industry, and their profits from the real estate industry are also extremely lucrative.
Shenghua's current real estate development in Shenzhen is not actually aimed at making quick money, but rather at accumulating experience and connections in the real estate industry, while preparing for the subsequent explosion of the mainland's real estate industry.
"Brother Song, from what you mean, our mainland's real estate policy will learn from Hong Kong and gradually open up the market?" Ke Dongsheng asked.
"That's for sure." Song Yuanchao said without hesitation, "In fact, the housing reform has already begun in the past two years. The living conditions and people's needs in cities are constantly improving. The previous model of housing authorities or units building houses and redistributing them will soon be completely eliminated. In the past few years, the mainland has been trying to open up the real estate market. In fact, it is a preparation for this. You can go and ask about this. It shouldn't be difficult to find out with your connections."
Ke Dongsheng nodded. His father worked in a ministry and was well-informed. He had heard his father say something about this, but it was just in the process of discussion and exploration. But Song Yuanchao was so sure. Ke Dongsheng was inclined to agree with Song Yuanchao. Since the reform and opening up, haven't many things been done by crossing the river by feeling the stones? It is a common way to make some new things through trial and error and then come up with policies later.
"So when do you think this will be opened?" Ke Dongsheng asked.
Song Yuanchao did not answer his question, but looked around.
"Brother Song, we are all family today, so just say whatever you want to say. Don't worry, once we leave this room, it will never be spread outside." Ke Dongsheng reacted and said sincerely.
At this time, Hu Yaoqing also came back to his senses. It seemed that this matter was a little different from what he imagined. Although he had not had much contact with Song Yuanchao, he knew Song Yuanchao's ability. Moreover, Hu Yaoqing knew who Ke Dongsheng was. Ke Dongsheng had always been Hu Yaoqing's right-hand man. Moreover, this guy was very smart and clever. Hu Yaoqing would privately ask Ke Dongsheng for his opinion on many things. Now looking at Ke Dongsheng's appearance, Hu Yaoqing understood.
"Dongsheng is right. Today we are all family. Don't worry, brother. Just say what you want to say. By the way, Luo Yang, don't just drink. Help me persuade Brother Song."
