Chapter 888 Guidance
Hu Yaoqing became even more excited after drinking. He talked freely in front of Song Yuanchao. When he got excited, he stood up and waved his arms towards the distance outside the window, looking like he was commanding someone to do whatever he wanted.
Song Yuanchao listened with a smile, and praised him appropriately from time to time, which made Hu Yaoqing even happier.
"Brother Song, you are an expert. Can you give me some advice on real estate?" Hu Yaoqing said as he handed a cigarette to Song Yuanchao.
"I am not an expert or a mediocre person..."
"Haha, you're being modest. If you weren't an expert, how could you have such vision? Besides, don't forget that your company has sent two people to me. Speaking of them, they have helped me a lot , otherwise the company wouldn't be so successful in Qiongdao." Hu Yaoqing hooked his arm around Song Yuanchao's shoulder and said enthusiastically.
Ke Dongsheng on the side was also looking at Song Yuanchao with anticipation. Compared to the last time they met in Jinling, the attitudes of these two towards Song Yuanchao had improved a step further. Although they were polite before, they were not as affectionate as they are now. Now, both Hu Yaoqing and Ke Dongsheng have regarded Song Yuanchao as one of their own.
Song Yuanchao said a few polite words and briefly talked about his own views.
Although he came to see Hu Yaoqing today because of Hu Yaoqing's invitation, he also had his own considerations. The changes here in Qiongdao are obvious, and the real estate boom in Qiongdao has begun to rise. In this case, Song Yuanchao can't do much at all. He can only follow the general trend and make some good efforts.
Just like what he told Hu Yaoqing at the beginning, because Song Yuanchao knew that even if Hu Yaoqing didn't exist, there would still be Zhang Yaoqing, Wang Yaoqing, etc., and this was something he couldn't change at all. On the contrary, he and Hu Yaoqing were still friends, so if Hu Yaoqing got involved, maybe he could get some real work done with his help.
Shao Heping is working in Lucheng, so he has to help him no matter what. Regardless of the personal relationship between Song Yuanchao and Shao Heping, Song Yuanchao will not stand idly by even for Lin Daoyuan's sake.
However, Song Yuanchao had his own considerations on how to help and how to assist Shao Heping in opening up the situation, and Hu Yaoqing happened to be a suitable candidate.
Song Yuanchao had already thought about it before he came, and through the information provided by Shao Heping, he also had some understanding of the current situation in Lucheng.
He talked with Hu Yaoqing and others about his views on the future of the Lucheng real estate market, and gave Hu Yaoqing some ideas. Some of the suggestions were never thought of by Hu Yaoqing and others. After listening to Song Yuanchao's explanation, Hu Yaoqing thought about it and immediately applauded. He felt that Song Yuanchao was indeed much better than himself in this regard. His original ideas were too simple and crude. If he followed Song Yuanchao's suggestions, he would not only make more money, but also establish good relations with the local government and gain some reputation. Why not do it?
"Brother Song, your method is good, but if we do it this way, the financial pressure will be too great." Ke Dongsheng at the side reminded him .
"How can there be a return without investment?" Song Yuanchao said with a smile: "The initial investment is indeed not small, and the company also needs to expand, especially the construction is a must."
"At present, your real estate company is nothing more than a shell, and it is not real real estate development in terms of operation. It is just a resale of land. There is no problem in the short term, but if you continue, I am afraid it will be criticized, which is not good for Brother Hu's reputation. You are also aware of the situation on Qiong Island. Many people have come to Qiong Island these days, and there will be more and more in the future. The Eight Immortals have shown their magical powers. Can you guarantee that the people who come later will have no background? If you don't have something substantial, you may be used by others."
Hu Yaoqing was very smart. Although Song Yuanchao's words were subtle, he immediately understood what Song Yuanchao meant.
Song Yuanchao was right. It was indeed easy to acquire land, hoard it and then resell it, but the disadvantages of such an operation were also obvious. To put it bluntly, it was just like the speculation in the past.
"If it is actually developed, which type do you think is more suitable?" Hu Yaoqing asked.
"This..." Song Yuanchao hesitated and asked Hu Yaoqing if he could first understand the situation of the land Hu Yaoqing currently had. After all, he was not very clear about how much land Hu Yaoqing had acquired and where these lands were located.
Hu Yaoqing smiled and said it was no problem, and winked at Ke Dongsheng. Ke Dongsheng stood up and walked to the filing cabinet next to him, took out a few documents, then took out a map of Lucheng and spread it out on the coffee table, and circled a few places on it with a pen.
"These are the few places we have. There are a few more plots of land in Coconut City. Do you want them...?"
"No rush, let's put Coconut City aside for now. We are in Lucheng now, so let's start with Lucheng." Song Yuanchao waved his hand, looked at the map, then took the document in Ke Dongsheng's hand and looked through it for a while.
After a while, Song Yuanchao had a clear idea in his mind. He pointed to the two places on the map and said, "Brother Hu, I suggest that we don't take action on these two places for the time being, and leave them to develop by ourselves."
"here……?"
"Yes! It's here!" Song Yuanchao pointed at two places with his hand, then stood up and pointed to the office where they were. "Brother Hu, when I came here just now, Dongsheng told me about the situation of the company's office. Don't you think that there is a shortage of suitable office space in Lucheng at present? Moreover, more and more businessmen are going to Lucheng, and the number of companies involved in this industry is also increasing. In this case, why not just build a business office building?"
"Office building?" Hu Yaoqing's eyes lit up, and so did Ke Dongsheng's. They had not expected this. Song Yuanchao's suggestion was a good one. You know, they had no choice but to set up an office here. Who made the conditions in Lucheng poor and there was no suitable office space?
If there is a business office building, then it will be completely different. Not only can the company have better office conditions, but more importantly, such an office space is also urgently needed by other companies.
But Hu Yaoqing frowned again after thinking about it carefully. If he built an office building, the investment would be too huge. Although he had some money and a good relationship with the bank, the investment in building a building was not small, and the construction period was too long.
When asked this question, Song Yuanchao smiled and told him that the business office building he was talking about was not that kind of high-rise building. The investment in building a building with more than ten or twenty floors is naturally huge, and the construction process and construction period are also long. The time required for the early design alone is not short.
Song Yuanchao does not recommend such an operation. Although an iconic building sounds good, from a practical point of view, let alone letting Hu Yaoqing go through the trouble, even Song Yuanchao would not do so.
The real estate boom in Qiongdao will not last long nor short. According to Song Yuanchao's knowledge, it will last from this year to the end of 1993. By 1994, the real estate bubble will burst, causing a great impact.
The current infrastructure is still in its early stages. When the domestic infrastructure matures in more than a decade, the speed of building houses will be amazing. But today's infrastructure has not yet reached such a level. It takes a long time to build a building from scratch. It is common to take two to three years.
Hu Yaoqing would definitely not do such a long period of time, coupled with a huge investment. So Song Yuanchao gave him an idea, which was to build several five- or six-story commercial office buildings in the form of an office park. This would make construction easier, require less investment, and pay off faster.
After completion, these business office buildings can be directly sold or rented to companies in need. Given the current number and scale of foreign companies in Qiongdao, there will be no worries about sales.
This type of business office building is very common in later generations. In later generations, there are not only towering office buildings , but also such business communities. Both have their pros and cons. For some ordinary companies, the latter is a better choice. After all, in some aspects, the latter is more convenient and cost-effective.
"And here..." Song Yuanchao pointed to a place on the map and said, "We can build a hotel here. There are not many good hotels in Lucheng at present, and there are few high-end hotels. This location is good, located in the city center. Although it is small, it is enough to build a hotel. The return on hotels is relatively rich, and hotels are a long-term business. If you do it well, you can continue to do it."
"Land is something that cannot be regenerated. After development, it is impossible to keep the original land. Therefore, the land in hand must be used well. You don't think that there is no limit to the land in Lucheng, right? Besides, whether it is to build a hotel or a business district, if it is not sold directly, the land is still in your hands. In the future, whether it is directly sold or pushed down for redevelopment, it is a good choice."
Listening to Song Yuanchao's explanation, Hu Yaoqing couldn't help but feel a little moved. What Song Yuanchao said made a lot of sense. If he developed the two pieces of land independently as Song Yuanchao said, there would really be some potential.
But Hu Yaoqing did not give Song Yuanchao an immediate reply. He said he still needed to think about it. But from the look in Hu Yaoqing's eyes, Song Yuanchao knew that the so-called consideration was just an excuse.
"By the way, I have something to tell Brother Hu."
"There's no need to be so polite between you and me, brothers. Just tell me if you have anything to say." Hu Yaoqing said generously.
"My father-in-law's former secretary, Shao Heping, is now working in Lucheng as the executive vice president. If Brother Hu needs any coordination on the actual development of the real estate, he can be contacted. It would be even better if there are suitable investors who can invest in Lucheng."
"This is good news!" Hu Yaoqing's eyes lit up. He had just learned about this. Although he had a strong background, he really lacked a partner like Shao Heping in the local area. Song Yuanchao's words immediately opened up his mind. Thinking about what Song Yuanchao had just said, Hu Yaoqing understood what Song Yuanchao meant.
