Chapter 225 Royal Class 4-Courtyard Hotel
Chapter 225 Royal Courtyard Hotel
July 8nd.
Eat steamed dumplings and drink soy milk in the morning.
During this time, Pu Jiajing was sorting documents nearby. Suddenly, she remembered something and said:
"Miss Zuo's family is in the real estate business, so it's understandable that they are very wealthy. But I didn't expect Miss Zhuang's family to be so wealthy. Selling a large piece of farmland for more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars is simply unbelievable and unimaginable."
"Why does it seem so easy for you to get rich? The richest friend of mine only has a fortune of a few million RMB. She was my roommate in college and everyone in the class envied her. Her skincare products were all French brands. Although she wasn't pretty, she had many handsome guys chasing her."
"No wonder Miss Zhuang looks so quiet and easy-going. It turns out that she has money in her pocket and is not worried. She is very confident."
Fan Wumian didn't think it was a big deal.
He peeled a tea egg and ate it while saying:
"It has only been a few years since the mainland opened up and developed its economy and joined the World Trade Organization. You can't simply compare the wealth gap. Many families still have cloth coupons, meal coupons, and meat coupons."
"Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan are all developed regions, so it's normal that many people are rich. In the past, the outside world looked at the mainland just like we look at North Korea now, both of them were out of touch with the world economic system. I remember that in the 300s, the per capita GDP of the United States exceeded US dollars, while the mainland seemed to be only US dollars."
"From being poor and backward, it has taken such a short time for the mainland to develop to what it is today. This is really amazing."
"Some people in Hong Kong spent tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars to buy a detached house in the 70s and 80s. Now it is worth tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, which is much more valuable than Zhuang Muxi's farmland."
These days, there are already one or two thousand people in Hong Kong whose net worth exceeds HK$1 million.
The four famous families own tens of thousands of acres of farmland in the port city, which is of staggering value.
The ownership of land in the mainland belongs to the government.
This is not the case in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other areas. There are still large landowners and the transfer price of agricultural land is very high. Owning farmland is equivalent to owning private property, and buying and selling is allowed.
Many farmlands in the Formosa region that cover one acre or even less than one acre are also not cheap in the market because they are equivalent to residential land in the mainland and can be used to build farmhouses.
Of course.
There are also some regulatory restrictions to protect farmland.
All I can say is that the company that wants to buy Zhuang Muxi’s pineapple orchard is quite powerful and has channels to find ways to circumvent many restrictions.
For example, a household can only build one farmhouse, but if a pineapple orchard of more than 100 acres is divided into more than 100 small farmlands, it is possible to legally build more than 100 farmhouses and develop the farmland into a villa area.
Fan Wumian was not interested in those gray area activities and had no intention of conducting in-depth research.
He just felt that the land value of the pineapple orchard had limited room for appreciation, so it would be more beneficial for Zhuang Muxi to take the opportunity to cash out and allocate the cash to other places.
pity.
The last time Zhuang Muxi went home, he persuaded his parents for a long time before they agreed to let him control several million Hong Kong dollars.
She used part of the money she earned from endorsing Chow Tai Fook some time ago to pay off her family’s mortgage in advance, and kept the other part for herself to try to learn how to manage money.
Afterwards, Zhuang Muxi followed Fan Wumian's advice and used the money to buy Penguin stocks.
This time, more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars are involved. It is estimated that it will be difficult for her parents and grandparents to let her use the money freely.
Think of it this way.
Fan Wumian felt that, from a certain perspective, Silly Old Fan was much more pleasing to the eye. At least he did not interfere with his work and was easier to fool.
Pu Jiajing continued:
"My family also had land before the demolition, but unfortunately we were only given worthless resettlement housing."
Glancing at her with a slanted eye, Fan Wumian suddenly felt a little sour and said unhappily:
"We are still in a critical stage of economic transformation, during which a lot of dividends will be released. It is best not to sell these resettlement houses until you are at the end of your rope, or exchange them for good houses in other parts of Shenzhen. I think the appreciation potential will be higher."
“Don’t think too highly of the private farmlands in places like Hong Kong.”
“You may think you will become a landlord, but in fact you are not even qualified to be a tenant. Only some men in the New Territories have the right to build village houses in Hong Kong.”
During the chat.
Taking advantage of Fan Wumian's free time, Liu Shishi came to visit him early in the morning with gifts, including a whole box of old Moutai produced in 1977.
It is said that it was her grandfather who went out of his way to get it from a friend.
The stock is a good stock.
But for some reason, Fan Wumian can drink other types of liquor, but he is not used to the taste of sauce-flavor liquor, especially aged liquor. He feels his throat burning just by looking at it.
It's very good for collection.
After a few simple polite words, Fan Wumian said with a smile:
"After I finish working on A Quiet Place 2, I will shoot a TV series. I have already decided to give the leading female role to Zhuang Muxi, but I can give you other roles."
"Don't be disappointed. Lay a solid foundation first. When your fame and acting skills are good enough to support a drama, you will naturally be allocated more resources."
"After all, the signing time is early. Maybe we will only sign two or three new people every year. It won't be a problem to make you famous. If it doesn't work out, we will use crazy resources to promote you. I am very optimistic about you."
Liu Shishi was wearing a black dress today, with her long hair fluttering in the wind, looking very ladylike and quiet.
With a smile on her face, she said:
"Thank you, boss. I will work harder."
After taking the watch and putting it on his wrist, Fan Wumian packed up a little and was about to go out when he said:
"It seems that the news that I like Siheyuan has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. When the locals in Yanjing heard that I was coming, they sent someone to find me yesterday and asked me to go to the Di'anmen area later to inspect a newly built ancient-style Siheyuan."
"Di'anmen? Just by listening to the name, you can tell that this location is great." Liu Shishi said.
Fan Wumian nodded and added:
"It seems to have a large area, suitable for opening a hotel. I just went to take a look due to personal connections. It seems that Emperor Qianlong built it to celebrate his mother's birthday. A few years ago, a businessman invested in rebuilding it. It is located at No. 28 Di'anmen West Street."
Facing this handsome and wealthy boss, Liu Shishi was particularly proactive and found an excuse to ask:
"Can I go with you? My agent said that my image is suitable for acting in palace dramas. Some crews have contacted me for auditions. It's a good opportunity for me to get some exposure and get a feel for it."
Fan Wumian felt the feeling of "I want to strive and make progress".
He nodded and said to her:
"Okay, but I have another trip at 11 o'clock, so I'll ask the driver to take you home then."
No. 28 Di'anmen West Street, very close to Shichahai. You can walk there, but I have other plans later, so I still choose to take a car.
Liu Shishi had seen this Bentley Arnage R with the license plate "Yan A-99999" in the news several times.
When she actually sat in the car side by side with Fan Wumian, she found that it was more enjoyable than she had imagined.
Although it sounds a bit arrogant, looking out of the car window does give you a sense of "looking down on all the mountains".
Liu Shishi, who is not good at socializing, was busy finding topics to talk about today. Fan Wumian also asked about the recent situation in the mainland film and television industry.
For example, Zhang Ziyi filmed a movie called "Memoirs of a Geisha".
I made a lot of money by working with Hollywood film companies.
But when people saw the introduction of the drama, they couldn't wait to criticize her, saying that she dared to take any role.
There is also Hong Kong actress Zhang Baizi.
Recently, he seems to be in Yanjing, and has started to promote the movie "The Promise" in advance.
------------
Soon we arrived at No. 28 Di'anmen West Street.
The officials are already waiting.
When you open the door and walk into the yard, you can see brand new buildings everywhere, but grass has grown in the gaps between the floor tiles.
Fan Wumian finished reading it.
I feel that the area is very large, but compared with Wanghailou, it lacks some characteristics.
This super-large royal courtyard covers a total area of 6286 square meters. An underground parking lot and basement were excavated, and a two-story antique building was built.
At this moment.
Walking in the grassy yard, Fan Wumian said with regret:
"With such a large area and a great location, the asking price of 5800 million RMB is not expensive. Unfortunately, I am saving money now, I have a very expensive project, and I already have enough courtyard houses."
Mr. Zheng, who received him, was wearing a white shirt, dressed elegantly, and had gray hair.
Hear the words.
Mr. Zheng said jokingly,
"That big project on the seaside of Shenzhen? I've heard about it. It seems to be trying to attract wealthy people from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan to settle down there, right? If Yanjing wasn't too far from Hong Kong, I would have tried to fight for it and keep you in Yanjing."
The total investment scale is likely to exceed 10 billion RMB for this super large project, and anyone who encounters it will be excited.
Fan Wumian pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth, and said with a smile:
"The housing prices in Hong Kong are too high. The Xiaolu luxury house on the hillside is priced at 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and the total area is only to square meters. If I sell it at a lower price in Shenzhen, it should be able to attract some buyers from Hong Kong. Yanjing also has its own characteristics, and the land will definitely be easy to sell. When I have time, I will definitely come and take a look."
Since the beginning of this year, Yanjing's land auction market has picked up compared with the same period last year.
Asking Fan Wumian to come over and inspect this royal-level new courtyard house was just an excuse.
The key point is to sound out the issue in person, inquire about the situation of the Shencheng Bay project, and try to win him over.
What the boss meant.
Mr. Zheng himself felt that there was little hope of intercepting the deal halfway, so he was not too enthusiastic.
After listening, he continued to speak and told Fan Wumian:
"This piece of land used to belong to the royal family and is part of the royal garden. Although the location is sensitive and only allows the construction of commercial courtyard houses, it is actually very good whether used to open a hotel or for office use."
"The previous investor's capital chain broke down and he was planning to open a hotel here. Now the project is completely dead and has not been started for four or five years. The total construction area is 16600 square meters, with 4119 square meters above ground and three basements and a mezzanine underground. It's hard to find such a large courtyard house around here."
"Wanghai Tower is just an exception. We even discussed whether we should demolish it and restore Shichahai to its original appearance. But since Mr. Fan has decided to open it to the public instead of continuing to run it as a private club, it won't be affected."
Fan Wumian also felt that this courtyard house had great potential.
The buildings on the ground are all used to build guest rooms, with a total of sixty or seventy rooms.
The basement can be used to accommodate a gym, restaurant, swimming pool, etc.
Suddenly, I thought that Zhuang Muxi was about to get a large sum of money.
Fan Wumian suddenly had an idea and asked:
"I can't eat it myself, but maybe I can recommend a buyer. I need to ask her what she thinks. Can we negotiate the price? If I want to borrow money from the bank, what is the maximum amount I can get?"
Mr. Zheng replied:
"To be honest, my brother-in-law is the vice president of a bank. The procedure is similar to that of a normal land acquisition, and the down payment is only 6000%. As for the price, there is really no way to negotiate. At the beginning, it was 200 million yuan, and it has been reduced by million yuan."
After all, we are one.
Fan Wumian considered Zhuang Muxi and planned to ask her what she thought.
If her parents support using the money to invest in stocks, she will naturally earn more from investing in stocks.
But if you decide to deposit the money in the bank to earn interest, it is obviously better to take out a loan from the bank and use leverage to buy this antique courtyard house.
All you need to do is add some additional capital and open a luxury hotel here in the future. You can make ten times the money without doing anything. It will probably take only a few years to recover the cost.
Such a distinctive royal courtyard hotel will most likely have no worries about business and will have the opportunity to bring in a steady stream of revenue.
The problem is that.
The subsequent additional funds for redecoration and redesign are a bit troublesome, and it will probably be difficult to complete without two to three years.
Zhuang Muxi and her parents may not be interested.
So when Fan Wumian talked to Mr. Zheng, he didn't dare to say too much.
I just mentioned that I would help ask and give you an accurate answer as soon as possible, but it's hard to say whether it will work or not.
