Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0538: Thunder from the Blue
"Yes, District Chief Min, this is due to our country's land policy. As far as I know, only Shencun and Shancheng are currently trying out limited land transfer policies for compensation, and Beijing has not implemented a similar policy.
This forced us to focus on the rental of existing buildings, and the most suitable buildings for transformation into wholesale markets are large factory buildings. After our multiple field investigations, we finally selected the two idle factory buildings of Changhe Woolen Textile as the most suitable.
Of course, we made this decision also for cost considerations.
However, after we contacted Changhe Woolen Textile, things did not go smoothly, which forced us to seek help from you, District Chief Min."
"Xiao Nan, do you want the district to step in to do the work of Changhe Woolen Textile?" Min Jinsheng said slowly.
Nan Yi secretly observed Min Jinsheng's expression, but did not get any useful information. He had too little contact with Min Jinsheng, and he had no idea of the different meanings represented by Min Jinsheng's micro-expressions.
The information is unclear and it is impossible to take advantage of the situation, which makes Nan Yi face a choice - whether to negotiate with Changhe Woolen Textile or to discuss a joint venture directly.
Both options have advantages and disadvantages. The first option provides stable control but unpredictable future development; the second option provides loss of control but a smoother path for future development.
The bottom line for joint ventures between state-owned and foreign capital is 51% of the shares, which means that the controlling rights must be held by the state-owned capital. So far, there has been no precedent where the state-owned capital is not the controlling party.
Nan Yi doesn't really care about controlling rights and the right to speak. He just needs a return on investment that satisfies him. He won't be jealous if others get more than him.
His only worry was that the person sent to Qinghe International by Haidian District would be someone who did not understand business but who liked and was good at fighting for power and profit.
This possibility is very high. After all, eight out of ten people are good at fighting and understand business. Only a few on the margins are shouting "six six six".
Nan Yi thought about it for a while and finally decided on the second plan.
In fact, before coming here, he preferred the second option because it was more beneficial to Haidian District.
"District Chief Min, Genzhengmiaohong did have this idea at the beginning, because this is the best choice for Genzhengmiaohong and can guarantee our interests.
But after careful consideration, and after consulting and lobbying with shareholders, Genzhenghong has changed its original intention and is no longer considering operating the clothing wholesale market project on its own. Instead, it is actively seeking a joint venture with the district to jointly promote this project.”
"What are your thoughts on forming a joint venture with the district? Xiaonan, tell me what you think."
As he spoke, Min Jinsheng took out a pack of specially made Zhonghua cigarettes for the 35th anniversary of the National Day and handed one to Edwin first. Edwin waved his hand to indicate that he didn't know how to smoke, so Min Jinsheng put the cigarette in his hand on the coffee table and took another one out of the cigarette box and handed it to Nan Yi.
Nan Yi paused slightly, but still took the cigarette in his hand.
Min Jinsheng passed out cigarettes, then lit one for himself and took a puff. Seeing Nan Yi standing there in a daze, he reminded him, "Xiao Nan, go ahead."
Hearing Min Jinsheng's reminder, Nan Yi stopped the psychological struggle of whether to smoke the cigarette in his hand, put the cigarette to his ear, and said, "District Chief Min, it's actually very simple. The district will provide the land and the policy, and we will provide the money and the operation and management team to run the clothing wholesale market project."
Nan Yi said, took out a map of Haidian District, walked to Min Jinsheng, spread it on the coffee table, pointed at the map and said: "Min District Chief, look, from the Wudaokou Railway Line in the west to Zhanchunyuan West Road in the east, the north-south direction is based on Chengfu Road as the baseline, 287 meters to the north, 218 meters to the south, and 198 meters from east to west, the total area of this area is 150 acres.
85.32 acres north of Chengfu Road, we plan to build a four-story super retail mall with a business area of more than 200,000 square meters. The mall will integrate shopping, entertainment, and catering..."
Nan Yi simplified the concept of future shopping malls, omitted parking lots and civil air defense projects, and selectively told Min Jinsheng about it. Then he continued, "We will name this mall Asia No. 1 Mall, the largest mall in Asia. We also thought of an advertising slogan: Wherever you go in Beijing, find Asia in Haidian District."
As soon as Nan Yi’s advertising slogan came out, Min Jinsheng’s eyes immediately lit up.
Whether it is the largest in Asia or Asia will become a landmark of the capital, for Min Jinsheng, it means two words: "political achievements", huge political achievements.
Nan Yi had not told Edwin or Ye Qi about this plan.
Edwin was fine, but Ye Qi was already wide-mouthed. "Isn't it just a small wholesale market? How come it's now the number one in Asia?"
Nan Yi ignored the other two people and keenly observed the change in Min Jinsheng's expression. He cleared his throat, pointed his finger on the map, and continued: "District Chief Min, let me talk about the planning south of Chengfu Road.
The area of this region is 64.68 acres. We plan to build Qinghe International here, and also build a four-story building with a business area of 150,000 square meters.
After its completion, it is no longer a simple clothing wholesale market, but a comprehensive wholesale market with small commodity wholesale on the first floor, clothing wholesale on the second and third floors, and miscellaneous wholesale on the fourth floor.
Qinghe International, our slogan is - there is nothing that cannot be wholesaled.
In terms of architectural planning, Asia is low in the north and high in the south; Qinghe International is low in the south and high in the north. The two sides guard the middle, and in the middle, above Chengfu Road, stands a red flag. "
"Okay, okay, okay, okay, that's great."
Min Jinsheng excitedly said "yes" several times, each one louder than the last.
"Xiao Nan, your plan is very bold, very bold, but it also shows a very creative thinking."
Min Jinsheng's face was full of smiles, and he spoke more and more intimately.
Nan Yi struck while the iron was hot and continued, "District Head Min, not only that, Genzhengmiaohong expects a total investment of 80 million for Asia and Qinghe International. The district only needs to inject these 150 acres of land into the project, provide relevant policies, and solve problems such as water and electricity use, and it can occupy 51% of the shares. In other words, our Genzhengmiaohong estimates the value of the land to be 533,000 per acre."
As soon as Nan Yi finished speaking, Min Jinsheng's eyes lit up again. He couldn't help but sigh that Nan Yi's plan was very bold and innovative, and it also gave Haidian District great benefits. If this project was successful, he would have no problem moving up a step.
"Xiao Nan, your idea is very good, but also very bold. Our district needs to hold a meeting to study it carefully, and it also needs the approval of the higher-level leaders. So, please put your summary of the truth into writing and give me a copy as soon as possible."
"Okay, District Chief Min, I will submit the plan to you as soon as possible."
The matter came to an end here. What remained was to run over and over again, and to work on it bit by bit. It would be a miracle if the plan could be officially launched on the day Liu Zhen gave birth.
"Nan Batian, how come you have expanded this project so much all of a sudden?" Ye Qi couldn't help but said as he just walked out of the gate of the district government.
"Chengtuo, just keep an eye on it. This project will definitely succeed." Nan Yi patted Ye Qi's shoulder and said, "The original 10% stake is no longer valid, but your interests will definitely be guaranteed. You will get much more than the original 10%."
"I'm not worried about that. I'm just wondering if we're making too much noise."
"It's good to be big and lively. Our city has been the capital for hundreds of years. It is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, but it has never produced a businessman who can be ranked. But from today on, this history will be rewritten. In the future, my grandfather will also be a red-topped businessman like Hu Xueyan.
"They had all the hats, feathers, and yellow jackets, and they had two eunuchs in front, two maids with bound feet hanging behind, and a few hawks and dogs and bamboo strips to help them. What a faction."
"Do you think it's worth interrupting me?" Ye Yu scolded with a smile.
“It’s powerful.”
