Chapter 176 Wanghai Tower

Clean up a little.

Fan Wumian took Zuo Ziyan with him and accompanied Aunt Wu from the street office to walk to see the shop.

The total distance from the courtyard where he lives now to Wanghai Tower is only two or three hundred meters.

Strolling along the fence beside Houhai, right next to the Shichahai Ice Rink which opens in winter, you will soon see the red courtyard gate.

Aunt Wu told me:

"This place was sealed off and confiscated a few years ago, and has been vacant ever since. The two-story attic doesn't seem to have been decorated much. I'll see if I can find the key later. They just gave me a bunch of keys, and I don't know which key goes to which lock."

Fan Wumian came to the small gate near the lake.

Through the wall, you can see the 15-meter-high Wanghai Tower, which is the tallest building in the Shichahai area, with eight sides, three-story eaves and a dome.

Although the attic was newly built a few years ago, its style is antique.

At first glance, it seems very suitable to open a milk tea shop and a cafe to attract tourists to take photos and check in.

Now that the new policy has been introduced, it will be impossible to build any buildings taller than this one along the Shichahai coast for many years to come. The view is quite good.

Follow Aunt Wu inside.

Listen to her introduction:
"Go in through the east gate along the main road. There is a parking lot inside. It has always been closed to the public and no one else is allowed to park there. There are a lot of fallen leaves now, so we need to find someone to clean it up a bit."

"This place is like a small peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides. There is also a stone bridge and an observation deck built on the surface of Shichahai Lake, which you will be able to see later."

"There is a stone in front. You can take a look at the inscription on it. I don't know who wrote it, but it's quite interesting."

"Ok."

Fan Wumian asked:
"Is the parking lot big? It's not easy to park around here. If I open a shop to do business, not having a parking space will affect my income."

Aunt Wu shook her head and said:

"There were enough parking spaces before, but now there are too many people buying cars. Land is very expensive here, so we can't afford to provide too many parking spaces. However, there are three subway stations planned nearby. Tourists like to walk when they go shopping, and taxis and buses can also drive to the area, so it shouldn't be a problem."

Think about it.

Construction began in the 1990s, and who could have predicted how many cars there would be in the future.

Zuo Ziyan just listened and didn't say anything.

After Aunt Wu opened the door and entered the private club, she asked with interest, "This loft is so beautiful. Ah Mian, why do you want to buy it and use it to start a company?"

It was pitch black inside, but luckily the moonlight was bright enough tonight so I could just barely see what was around me.

With the help of the bright light of the mobile phone screen.

The inscriptions on the stele read "where the dragon veins of four dynasties gather", "the royal spirit and the pure stream are one body", etc. It is obvious that the previous owner put a lot of effort into the construction.

Fan Wumian explained as he watched:

"My house is enough, but a shop is another matter. With the geographical location of this place and my own fame, I will open it to the public in the future. I have the opportunity to become the king of shops in the area, and it will be easy to make money by doing many businesses."

Zuo Ziyan continued:

"But the price is so high, and you have no experience in running a store."

in fact.

Fan Wumian became interested in this place mainly because of the appreciation of the property.

However, it is not convenient to explain this reason in detail.

In the eyes of others, given Yanjing's current per capita income, housing prices already seem very high.

He made an excuse and said:

"I won't be wrong, but I can find someone to help take care of it."

"I will only pay a small portion of the money, and let the bank pay the rest. As long as the income can cover the bank interest and earn back the money for buying the building, I will have the opportunity to earn such a large private club for free."

"I'm a celebrity. I can open a shop and do some business to cash in on my fame, just like the Deyun Society of crosstalk. Whether it's used as a hotel or a banquet restaurant, it shouldn't be too bad. After all, given the location, there's no shortage of tourists in Yanjing."

Zuo Ziyan didn’t know how fast the housing prices in Yanjing would increase in the next few years.

No one would have guessed that this huge private club with commercial and residential properties would have a chance to be valued at 10 to 15 billion RMB in just or years.

I just think Fan Wumian’s idea is a little too idealistic.

She raised her arm and pointed at the main building, offering help and saying:

"You went to Jumbo Floating Restaurant some time ago, right? I think it's a good place to open a restaurant, and the investment amount will be lower than building guest rooms."

Fan Wumian continued:
"There is also a 4000-square-meter garden outside. It should be very attractive to turn it into a lawn for outdoor weddings. It can be used to hold banquets at noon and receive some individual guests at night. Mainland residents are not used to eating seafood, so we can open a hot pot restaurant and invite some celebrities to come and support it every now and then, and the level will naturally rise."

When people get married or hold other banquets, they are most concerned about the appearance of the event and would rather spend a little more money than lose face.

Opening a banquet hotel on the edge of Houhai Lake is obviously of impeccable quality.

In addition to Fan Wumian's celebrity status, this business cannot be said to be absolutely successful, but at least the probability of success is much higher than that of other people's startups.

Just chatting.

We still need to study and discuss what specific business we should do.

We arrived at the main building with a plaque reading "The True Meaning of Lake and Mountain". After opening the door, we finally turned on the lights. The upper and lower floors were spacious and open, with a total construction area of ​​about 3400 square meters.

There are two more floors underground, and it is said that they were dug 11 meters down. On the bottom floor, a private swimming pool was built, which was previously intended to be used as a private club.

Judging from the progress of the decoration inside, it seemed that it had just started and then suddenly stopped. Raw materials such as cement, wheelbarrows, water pipes, and wires could be seen.

After visiting around.

All I can say is that plans cannot keep up with changes.

It is more than 2,000 square meters and is located underground. If a hotel is opened here, the number of guest rooms will be greatly reduced.

After visiting the site, Fan Wumian finally understood why the property was valued at only 1 million yuan for a building area of ​​more than square meters.

How can the basement and the ground be evaluated and calculated at the same price?

Including Wanghai Tower, Hushan Zhenyi Tower, Liangyi Pavilion and Furong Pavilion, the total building area on the ground is only more than 4800 square meters. The price per square meter is more than 2 yuan.

It is only 2005, and e-commerce has not yet crushed physical stores. The market selling prices of shops are often much higher than those of residential properties.

It seems so.

It seems more appropriate to open a banquet restaurant.

Hundreds of tables can be arranged on the first and second floors, and some private rooms can also be planned for business receptions.

There is no rush to consider what kind of business to do in the future.

Fan Wumian was only busy pondering whether it was worth taking over this place, and he studied it as he went along.

I think the small area of ​​"Furongxie" is suitable for selling souvenirs, while "Yuyixuan" is more suitable for opening a small bar.

We walked back and finished our walk near the parking lot.

Fan Wumian couldn't help but sigh:

"If it had been sold earlier, I would not have bought the old house next door. It has everything you want, such as a loft, a fish pond, and a swimming pool. It can be renovated and people can live in it directly."

"Trees are planted on both sides of the parking lot, and the greening is not very good. It feels a bit wasteful to use such a large piece of land. It would be better if a new building could be built to open a hotel."

“I feel the price is a bit high, I need to think about it before making a decision”

Aunt Wu from the street office looked around at the land on both sides and replied:
"I also thought the price was a bit high. The neighborhoods nearby were all included in the scope of old house renovation. A hotel applied to build a new building and it seems to have received approval. It only needs to pay the land transfer fee."

"If you really want to buy it, maybe we can discuss it and find a construction company to make some plans. I'll ask my husband to help clarify it."

"It seems that some of the land transfer fees here have not been paid in full, so I can apply for them together when the time comes."

"."

Leave from Wanghailou Private Club.

Fan Wumian was a little hesitant and asked Zuo Ziyan:

"What do you think? The down payment is estimated to be 2000 million, and the renovation will cost about 1000 million to 1500 million. If you make 100 million a month, it will take about two to three years to recover the capital. The bank interest and loan principal will also have to be calculated separately."

This kind of investment will definitely not lose money.

The reason why I am a little hesitant is mainly because I am worried that after all the trouble, after calculating the rate of return, it would be better to just use the money for financial management.

Zuo Ziyan shrugged and said:
"There are many small shops in Hong Kong that are only a dozen square meters in size. Each shop costs 20 to 30 million Hong Kong dollars. At least this private club is very large."

"If you can earn 1200 million yuan a year, that's a return rate of more than percentage points, which is pretty good. You can also deduct part of the tax for buying a house and renovating it."

"I think it's fine. It depends on whether you want to buy it or not. Anyway, you have invested in many companies now, so you can use it as an office at most."

Thinking that he still held so many Penguin shares in his hands, Fan Wumian felt relieved.

The box office share will be received soon, the second solo album will be released soon, and "A Quiet Place 2" will continue to be filmed in the second half of the year. There is no problem with funding.

He quickly made a decision and said with a smile:

"Then ask clearly first. The wasted area in the clubhouse is too large. If I can pay the land transfer fee to build a building, I will build two or three courtyard houses and turn them into characteristic B&B hotels. If I arrange 50 or 60 more guest rooms, the profit can be higher, and it is also equivalent to speculating in real estate."

Zuo Ziyan looked at him and praised:

"Very good, you have begun to learn to look at things from a businessman's perspective. In fact, I also felt that too much land was wasted in the club. According to the price of the old house you demolished last time, a square meter of garden is worth more than 10,000 yuan. Mr. Xing demolished the old house and reused the land area, turning one house into three."

As long as we can build three courtyard houses of 300 to 400 square meters, we can earn at least an extra 10 million yuan in 5 years.

I walked around the alley and returned home through the side door.

Fan Wumian couldn't wait and pulled Zuo Ziyan to take a shower together. Because the shower gel was slippery enough, he almost hit a home run without paying attention.

As expected, it ultimately failed to fully succeed.

the next morning.

Fan Wumian had just woken up when he met Aunt Wu from the Street Office again.

She was very excited. This was the first time she had come into contact with such a big business. She was even more excited than Fan Wumian. She said enthusiastically:

"I asked for you again last night."

"Your situation can be considered as foreign investment attraction, and the approval documents will probably not be blocked. If you build a new hotel within the club, as long as you hire a regular design company to plan it reasonably, there should be no problem, but you will have to bear the cost yourself."

"Also, when you open a store and do business, you can enjoy some tax benefits. Take some time to talk to people at the bank or the court and try to bargain."
