Chapter 394 Community Planning
"I'm just checking out the current market situation! Only by doing it yourself can you understand what's going on better."

"That's true."

"Son, I see red vests everywhere on the street. How many tricycles does your company have now?"

"There were only 2,000 before, and recently we added 500 more, so now there are a total of 2,500."

"Ah! So many?"

"Yes, this is just the beginning. I guess there will be more in a while."

“Are you making money now?”

"It is profitable, but it is still recovering the investment. If I want to make more money, it will probably take another year and a half."

The management fee is thirty yuan per month, which is three hundred and sixty yuan per year, and one hundred and eighty yuan per half year, which adds up to five hundred and forty yuan.

The company bought a tricycle for 450 yuan, plus the modification fee of 50 yuan, which means that the tricycle costs 500 yuan.

In other words, it only takes one year and five months to recover the cost, and it will be profitable from then on.

In fact, there are still too few tricycles now, despite the fact that the streets are full of red vests.

This is because I have seen too many of them, so I feel like the streets are full of red vests.

Let me put it this way, sometimes there is not even one tricycle on the street because there are too few tricycles and they are concentrated in a few places.

In such a big imperial capital, what are more than 2,000 tricycles?

It is now 1979, the capital has a population of 8.7 million and 2 million bicycles.

But if you look on the street, you still don't see many bicycles, basically there are only pedestrians.

This is the case with two million bicycles, not to mention more than two thousand tricycles!
Let's put it this way! Even if there are 100,000 tricycles, there are still few means of transportation in the imperial capital.

"It only takes a year and a half to get back the investment! This is too long. I might as well open two restaurants."

"Uh!"

Li Jiayi couldn't refute his mother's words because she was right!
Let me put it this way! If you use 10 million to open a restaurant, you can probably get your money back in less than two months.

You should know that the three restaurants opened by Li Jiayi now only cost three million yuan in investment.

This also includes the house, otherwise there would not be so much. And these three restaurants, according to the current situation, will definitely pay back within three months.

But don’t forget that although the restaurant makes a quick return on investment, overall, it is still just a small business.

Transportation companies are different! This is to lay the foundation for the future. If you want to make a lot of money, the foundation is indispensable.

I won’t say more. Let’s wait three to five years and see who makes more money.

"Mom, this is different. Besides, you can't just do one kind of business. Someone has to do all kinds of business."

"Okay, I don't understand anyway, you can do it yourself."

"Ok!"

The next morning, Li Jiayi drove out of the city, to Xizhimen.

The piece of land that Xu Huizhen mentioned before is right here, so he came to take a look today since he had nothing to do.

When I got here, I realized that this place can no longer be considered outside the city at the moment.

Because many places here are under construction, of course, at present it is the country that is building them.

Yes, now that it has been reformed, the imperial capital will of course expand outward, and the first area will probably be within the third ring road in future generations.

But this has nothing to do with him. He came here today to check out the place.

He knew the location, so the jeep arrived quickly.

Looking at this piece of vacant land, it is actually not very big. Well, how big can more than 30 acres of land be?

This is the first place that Xuri Real Estate Company wants to develop.

More than 20,000 square meters. In the future, at least a dozen buildings could be built on this land, but Li Jiayi would not do that.

"Hey, Jiayi, why are you here?"

Just as he was about to leave, a voice sounded behind him.

Li Jiayi quickly looked back and said, "Sister Huizhen, you are here too?"

"Yes! This place has been taken. I will bring people over to take a look and then prepare for construction."

Li Jiayi looked behind Xu Huizhen and saw two people following her. He didn't need to think about it because he knew these two people must be the company's architects.

"I see! I came to see this land as well."

"Oh! What do you suggest?"

"I don't have any suggestions! But I think it would be better to build fewer buildings."

"Hahaha, that's what I thought. Anyway, land is cheap now, so the worst that can happen is that I can just buy a few more plots of land."

"That's right." Li Jia nodded in agreement.

Since Xu Huizhen came, Li Jiayi did not leave, but followed the two architects to look at the place.

He came here just to take a look, but architects are different! They not only look, they also measure.

It wasn't until noon that I finished writing and drawing.

"Jiayi, it's already noon, in that case, let's have lunch together!"

"Okay, I'll treat you today, and invite the two architects along."

"Sure! I'll be welcome then."

"You're welcome, no need."

Xu Huizhen also came by car, and the driver was a young man in his twenties.

Soon two jeeps drove towards Chunfeng Pavilion. The reason they went to Chunfeng Pavilion was because it was close.

"Sister Huizhen, take the two masters in first, I'll make the arrangements here."

"it is good."

After parking the car, Li Jiayi said to the driver: "Let's go in and have something to eat."

"No, please go in. I'll just find a place to eat later."

"That won't work! Even if you don't want to eat with us, you can't just find a random place to eat! Let's go, I'll ask the restaurant to cook two dishes for you, and you can eat alone in the lobby."

"no, I'm fine."

"Let's go."

Li Jiayi is not a stingy person, especially towards employees under his rivals.

Although the young man is Xu Huizhen's driver, don't forget that he is also an employee of Xuri Real Estate Company.

As long as one is an employee of Xuri Real Estate Company, he, Li Jiayi’s employee.

"Welcome... old..."

Before the waitress called out the word "boss", Li Jiayi quickly winked at her.

"Welcome, both bosses."

The waiter was very smart and reacted immediately.

"Please take him to a seat, and ask the kitchen to cook two dishes. We'll settle the bill later."

"Ok."

Immediately a waiter ran over and took the driver in.

"Boss, what are you..."

"Don't reveal my identity. Just treat me as a guest. Tell everyone later."

"I understand, boss."

"Well! Let's go! By the way, which room did the three people who just came in go to?"

"336 on the third floor."

"Okay, I got it. I'll be there right away. Please make the arrangements quickly."

"Okay, boss, you go up first."

"Yes!" Li Jiayi soon arrived at the third floor and found room 336, which was also a small private room.

"Sorry, I arranged for the driver to eat in the lobby, so he came a little late."

"Okay plus one, there are no outsiders."

"Let me introduce you. This is the boss of our Rising Sun Real Estate Company."

"Hello, Boss." The two architects quickly stood up and shouted.

"Sit down, sit down. You're welcome."

"Jiayi, these are the two architectural engineering designers hired by our company. They will design this community."

"Good."

"By the way, you have been measuring for the whole morning. Do you have any plans?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Boss, based on the area, this community can build twelve houses."

"Twelve buildings? That's too many. I think eight or nine will be enough."

"Ugh! This..."

"The extra area can be used to build a small park so that everyone can have a place to do some activities in their spare time."

"But boss, this means we won't have to build several buildings! And even if we build a small park, it won't take up so much space."

"It's okay. We can make the roads in the community wider, especially in front of and behind the buildings."

"Jia Yi, we don't need such a wide road in front and behind the building, right?" Xu Huizhen said.

"Sister Huizhen, you can't use it now, but you will need it in the future! There are not many cars now, but when people's lives get better, there will definitely be a lot of cars, and there will always be a place to park them."

"Where to park?"

"Yes! I got the news that starting from next year, private car purchases will be allowed. Those with good conditions will definitely buy cars by then. Where will they park their cars? So not only will the roads have to be made wider, but more parking spaces will also have to be created."

"what!"

"Knock, knock, knock." Just at this moment, the door of the private room was knocked.

"Come in."

"Would you like to order now?" a waiter asked as he pushed open the door.

"Order later."

"Ok."

After the waiter left, Li Jiayi started talking to the two architects.

Not only is there a problem with parking spaces, but the first and second floors near the main road also need to be turned into shops.

Moreover, the area of ​​the shop should be built larger, so that there will be a large platform in front of the residents on the third floor.

Of course, this is only the case for the two buildings close to the road, and the other buildings should still be designed according to the previous ideas.

He has already thought it through that in the future, any buildings built by Xuri Real Estate Company, as long as they are close to the road, will have shops on the first and second floors.

And these shops will not be sold, they must all be kept.

The purpose of keeping these shops is not to use them for business, but to rent them out.

Although this will take up some funds, after all, it will take a long time to recover the cost if renting out the property.

But this is not a problem at all, houses are cheap nowadays! There is no cost at all.

Let me put it this way! In a dozen years, perhaps one year's rent will be enough to buy the current shop.

Besides, if the shop is not sold, it won’t take up much capital.

The residential communities currently being built are relatively small, and even if particularly large communities are built in the future, there will not be many storefronts facing the street.

"Add one! If we don't sell this, it will take up a lot of funds!"

"Sister Huizhen, I know this, but it won't have much of an impact, and most of our company's revenue in the future will probably come from these shops."

"Ah! Is this true?"

"You'll know this later."

"Okay! You're the boss, whatever you say goes, I'll listen to you."

Prices are cheap now, construction costs are also cheap, so leaving shops behind will only take up a small amount of money!
After chatting for a while, Li Jiayi opened the door, called a waiter in, and started ordering food.

The chef of Chunfeng Pavilion is Liao Kai! Liao Kai is proficient in imperial court cuisine, so of course he ordered imperial court cuisine.

It was basically a Manchu Han banquet. I ordered eight dishes at random and asked for a bowl of soup.

Although you order whatever you want, they are basically signature dishes.

When the food came, Xu Huizhen tasted it and said, "It's worthy of being one of the three new restaurants in the imperial capital. The food is so delicious."

Are you kidding? Liao Kai cooks the food himself, so how can the food not be delicious?

As for the three emerging hotels, they are of course Chunfeng Pavilion, Xiayue Tower and Qiurizhai under Li Jiaming.

At present, they are not only the three emerging hotels, but also the three largest hotels in the imperial capital.

The 18 state-owned hotels in the past could not compare with these three hotels at all.

This not only refers to the food, but also the business area, not to mention the turnover.

It is estimated that the turnover of all 18 restaurants combined would not be as high as that of these three restaurants.

In this era, the best chefs were handed over to the state, and Liao Kai and the other three were definitely the ones who slipped through the net.

In the old 18 state-owned restaurants, the chefs are basically second-level chefs, and it can be said that there are very few first-level chefs.

Even if there are, it is estimated that there will be no more than five.

In the three restaurants under Li Jiaming, there are at least seven or eight first-level chefs, and even more second-level chefs.

This is something that no other hotel can compare to.

Of course, the treatment is incomparable. In a state-owned restaurant, the salary of a second-level chef will not exceed 100 yuan, while in Li Jiayi's restaurant, the salary of a second-level chef starts at 600 yuan.

This is just for now, the prices will continue to rise in the future, which is something state-owned restaurants cannot compare to.

"Sister Huizhen, if it's delicious, eat more. If it's not enough, we can order more."

"No, I don't want to be uncomfortable for half a day like last time."

"Hahaha."

"But it's really delicious. Next time I have a chance, I'll go to Xiayue Tower to try it and see what the food there is like."

"Sister Huizhen, I've been to Xiayuelou before, and it's definitely not worse than here, it's just that the food is different."

"Oh! What's the difference?"

"Chunfeng Pavilion mainly serves imperial court cuisine. We also have other dishes, but the main dish is imperial court cuisine."

“Xiayuelou mainly serves local dishes, focusing on local and home-style dishes.”

"Qiurizhai mainly serves Tan's cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, and Shandong cuisine. We've eaten them last time, so you should know."

"So that's how it is! Then I must try it." Xu Huizhen said.

"Sister Huizhen, Xiayuelou mainly serves local and home-cooked dishes! We eat this every day!"

"I know! The more you think about it, the more you have to try it and see the difference between what I make and what the great chef makes."

"Uh! All right!"

"Come, drink."

"it is good."

"Boss, boss, we'd like to toast you two." The two architects quickly raised their glasses and said.

"No, let's have a drink together."

Yes, we are drinking Moutai today. Although Li Jiayi doesn’t recognize it, there are people who do!
For example, Xu Huizhen and the two architects in the company, he can only follow the crowd.

The two architects were big eaters. They not only finished all the dishes but also the soup.

Similarly, the two architects were also full and could only sit in chairs to rest.
