Volume 5: Blossom and Fruit 2018 Chapter 906
"I never thought that I could become a demolition worker one day, but I would be demolishing other people's houses."
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but smile knowingly, and for a moment he felt somewhat happy about it. If he could take the surrounding land into his pocket, it would be enough to build a very grand ancestral hall.
Of course, even though he is now wealthy, Zhou Dongsheng is not a wasteful person and still puts pragmatism first.
In addition to the main structure of the ancestral hall, a part of it can also be planned as an activity center for the elderly in the village, and some fitness equipment can be placed there, making it suitable for all ages.
Zhou Dongsheng is not interested in the illusory concept of prosperous incense business, which is more real than popularity.
There has never been any savior, and we don't need to rely on gods or emperors... Zhou Dongsheng deeply agrees with this.
Zhou Dongsheng told his mother all his ideas, and Liu Huaiying naturally didn't have any major objections.
"I'm glad you think this way, but we can't let others take advantage of us. After all, you're so capable now, and it's inevitable that someone will have some thoughts..."
Liu Huaiying couldn't help but mutter, it was obvious that the first factor his mother considered was always Zhou Dongsheng.
Zhou Dongsheng certainly knew the principle of gratitude for a little bit of rice and hatred for a big bit of rice. After all, he never underestimated the greed of human nature. However, Zhou Dongsheng was not worried at all. If someone really asked for an exorbitant price...
The worst that could happen is that he could just quit. After all, the initiative was in Zhou Dongsheng's hands from beginning to end, and he had enough confidence to do so.
Obviously, Zhou Dongsheng doesn't have to stay here. There are plenty of cheap and good land in Gu Town for him to pick, and Zhou Dongsheng is not the kind of person who will hang himself on a tree.
What's more, if this place is to be used as a clan temple, Zhou Dongsheng will also have to find another piece of land and build a new Zhou family house.
This time, he could get his wish in one go. Even a mere four-horse trailer would not be able to satisfy his appetite!
Previously in Hangzhou, Zhou Dongsheng had already been attracted by Ding Sanshi's mansion with pavilions, terraces, bridges and flowing water.
Given the land prices in Hangzhou, the top-notch garden mansion that could be a neighbor of Ding Sanshi would naturally have a staggeringly high price tag, starting at hundreds of millions, not to mention other supporting facilities. There is no upper limit to the price.
After all, things are valuable because they are rare. If a set of furniture is made of precious and rare wood, its value may even exceed the house itself.
However, if you use this money to build a mansion in the countryside...
There is no doubt that it can create a jaw-dropping effect, and this idea is really exciting.
By then, if I choose to retire at the right time, I can go home to retire, which is undoubtedly one of the options...
That’s right, Zhou Dongsheng has already started planning his life after retirement.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng only has less than two years left, so he naturally has to make plans early.
"Don't worry, mom. Even my own father can't get any good from your son. Do you still expect a bunch of outsiders to take advantage of me? You also said that at worst we can leave our hometown, buy a big cruise ship, and let your son take you around the world, how about that?"
Zhou Dongsheng said with a grin, and this look actually made his old mother feel a lot more relieved.
"Okay, then mom will be your lobbyist . Go talk to them first..." Liu Huaiying said happily.
Zhou Dongsheng winked, and Li Jiana understood and supported the old lady, "Aunt Liu, I'll go with you..."
“Okay, okay…”
With Zhou Dongsheng's current status and wealth, he is undoubtedly a "dimensionality reduction strike" in the small town of Gu.
It is not difficult to accomplish this series of things, it just takes a little time.
For this reason, Zhou Dongsheng naturally enjoyed the opportunity to take a vacation and spend some time with his elderly mother.
The mother and son also split up into two groups. The old mother, as brave as a man, personally took charge of lobbying the neighbors, while Zhou Dongsheng directly contacted the local leaders he had dealt with before.
With his help, they soon found a large piece of land in the local area. It was backed by mountains, far away from the hustle and bustle, with pleasant scenery and few people. It was indeed a quiet place that perfectly met Zhou Dongsheng's requirements.
As long as we take over this piece of land and start construction, the rest will naturally not be a problem.
And because the land is located in a remote area and is still in the hands of the local government, Zhou Dongsheng only needs to pay the land transfer fee directly.
Although it covers an area of more than one hectare, or more than 10,000 square meters, nearly 20 acres, this land has been idle because it has no development value.
Even if the fire of real estate development has spread to this small piece of land in Gu Town, no one would be interested in it, which shows how barren it is.
Even Zhou Dongsheng, a local, had never been to such a remote place without a guide.
However, such a vast area alone is attractive enough. It is more than enough to build a Chinese-style garden with pavilions, towers, bridges and flowing water.
The price of land transfer naturally depends on its use. After all, the ownership of land in our country is always firmly in the hands of the state. Anyone only has the right to use it but not the ownership.
It is precisely in this way that we can fully ensure that the interests of the majority of people will not be harmed.
The nature of this piece of land is naturally collectively owned. If it is to be developed into real estate for commercial purposes, the land transfer fee, no matter how conservative, must be calculated in billions.
However, Zhou Dongsheng is a local and only intends to use it to build his own house, so the problem can naturally be solved according to the nature of the homestead.
The difference in nature between the two is as great as that between heaven and earth.
Zhou Dongsheng vaguely remembered that in his previous life, there was a wealthy man in the town who did the same thing. He bought a large piece of land at the price of a residential plot, but ended up using it secretly for commercial purposes, planning to build a water park.
The consequences are predictable. When the project was halfway through, it was exposed online. After public opinion fermented, the project was directly stopped. The initial investment of tens of millions was basically wasted. The entire piece of land was also shelved and became a major "landmark building" in the local area.
With this "lesson from the past" as a warning, and the fact that Zhou Dongsheng had no intention of taking advantage of any loopholes, such a small profit was really not worth mentioning to him now.
There was no need to get himself into trouble, so Zhou Dongsheng followed the process and naturally won the land at a good price for a residential plot.
According to the local market price in Gu Town, the price per square meter is only about fifteen hundred yuan.
If the nature of the land is changed, the price will have to increase dozens of times.
It’s no wonder that some people would take advantage of loopholes. After all, money can make people’s hearts turn.
After Zhou Dongsheng successfully won the role, he immediately contacted Huang Haoze, whom he had not seen for a long time.
As the "second generation of civil engineering", he was in charge of the entire construction of the Zhou family's new house, and the quality was very good.
Given the solid interest relationship between the two parties, handing the project over to him was enough to reassure Zhou Dongsheng.
After all, don’t forget that Huang Haoze, like Principal Wang, is also one of the angel investors behind Zhou Dongsheng.
He had made a lot of money from Zhou Dongsheng, and was worried that he would not have the opportunity to return the favor, so when Zhou Dongsheng took the initiative to come to him and mention this matter...
Huang Haoze patted his chest so loudly that it could be heard clearly through the phone.
"Finally, I have a place to use my skills. Don't worry about this matter, Dongsheng. Just leave it to me. Given our friendship, I won't charge you a penny..."
"Are you sure? My budget for this house is a bit high, and the area is a little bit large..." Zhou Dongsheng was of course aware of Huang Haoze's little thoughts, but it did not prevent Zhou Dongsheng from teasing him in a joking tone.
“How big can it be! At worst I can bring Brother Hang along. Otherwise, we’ll feel guilty about taking the dividends from PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds…” Huang Haoze said disapprovingly.
"It covers an area of more than one hectare and is built according to garden standards. In addition, roads have to be built..." Zhou Dongsheng said while counting on his fingers. There is no doubt that this is indeed a big project.
Huang Haoze was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but say: "Fuck, you are really rich and inhumane! But it is very consistent with your current status..."
"A real man's word is as good as his bond. Let alone one hectare, even if it is ten times as much, we will not hesitate..." Huang Haoze boasted habitually.
"You're the one who said that. Then I'll go and ask for more land. It's a good deal if I don't take advantage of it..." Zhou Dongsheng joked.
"Fuck, you're worth hundreds of billions, but why are you still taking advantage of others as always? You're amazing!" Huang Haoze couldn't help but admit defeat.
“This is called not forgetting your original intention!”
"Isn't it true that human nature cannot be changed? A dog can't change his eating habits..."
"roll!"
After a few jokes, Zhou Dongsheng hung up the phone and left the rest to Huang Haoze to worry about. After all, such a big project would definitely not be completed in a short time.
On the other hand, when Zhou Dongsheng offered generous conditions that were slightly higher than the market price, most of the neighbors readily accepted them.
Especially when the real estate development in the town is in full swing, you can take this opportunity to move into a bright community.
Of course, not everyone likes to live in a residential community. Some people prefer to build their own houses, so Zhou Dongsheng naturally did not force them.
Instead, they took a roundabout approach and chose to exchange it with the same land in the town, which was slightly higher than the market price, and they could also lay a foundation at the same time...
As long as there is nothing difficult to part with the old house, obviously no one would refuse such conditions.
After all, no matter how good an old house with a long history is, you have lived there for most of your life, so it is naturally not as tempting as a brand new building.
In addition, Zhou Dongsheng's status and position are there now. Even if you don't choose to flatter him, there is no need to be hard on him. Even if you give Zhou Dongsheng some face, you may be able to ask him for help in the future...
Little people also have their own shrewd calculations. Just thinking about this is enough to make most people agree to it naturally.
Therefore, with the orderly progress, the neighbors all agreed , and Zhou Dongsheng also left them enough time to move.
"Demolition" is also a big project, so it cannot be rushed.
In the blink of an eye, time slipped away quickly, and the Lantern Festival was here.
After the Lantern Festival, the festive atmosphere basically disappears completely. After finishing an important matter in his heart, Zhou Dongsheng should sort himself out and set sail again.
After all, although a safe haven is good, Zhou Dongsheng is obviously not yet at the point of dropping anchor here.
In the remaining year and a half, he still has a lot of things to do. By the time he finishes his work, the house in his hometown will probably be almost finished, so he can go back to the countryside to retire and at the same time "hide from the limelight"...
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng felt a sense of urgency for no reason. Just thinking about that epic event that could be regarded as a turning point in human history was enough to make Zhou Dongsheng tremble with fear...
After all, this thing is an invisible and intangible enemy, and the unknown is undoubtedly the greatest fear!
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but take a deep breath. Now his only hope was that this damn butterfly of his would not trigger any unpredictable chain reaction...
Otherwise, it would be a lot of fun.
After completely settling his rear base, Zhou Dongsheng can finally focus on setting sail!
There will always be a time to ride on the wind and waves, and set sail to cross the vast ocean!
…
After this matter was settled, Zhou Dongsheng returned to Shanghai with ease. After rewarding his team at the annual meeting, the entire Dongsheng Group is now gearing up to continue its great plans in the new year.
Even if Zhou Dongsheng is not in charge, it will not affect the operation of Dongsheng Group in any way.
But once he returned to Shanghai, Zhou Dongsheng could no longer relax. After all, it was the end of the year and he could say “let’s talk about it after the New Year” about everything.
But now the New Year has passed, and Zhou Dongsheng still has to deal with many things that have accumulated before the New Year one by one. The decisions on some of these things are so stressful that even Zhou Dongsheng has to worry about it.
Among them, there is undoubtedly the follow-up impact of Bitcoin's global fame. Whether overseas or domestic, in the face of huge returns, everyone is lining up with their love number plates, vying to become LP (investor).
Even if it is just a conservative estimate, Zhou Dongsheng can easily raise a large fund with a scale of more than 100 billion US dollars. However, to manage such a large amount of money...
Of course, you have to think carefully before doing this.
In addition, after the Bitcoin battle, Dongsheng still held a huge cash flow of more than 10 billion US dollars in the overseas market last week!
Even if it had successfully consumed a portion of the funds by participating in a new round of financing for its major projects, it was still just a drop in the bucket compared to such a huge sum of money.
Having too much money is obviously a problem. If you can't make full use of it, you will undoubtedly lose money every day you keep it.
Zhou Dongsheng naturally has his own considerations for this...
Just at this time, after resting and gathering his strength, Lu Sifang walked in with full energy and said in high spirits.
"Chairman, you're looking for me?"
