1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 2600
The transactions and ownership of the plots around Hangzhou Railway Station are already classified as official secrets, and it is of course difficult for ordinary people to know the inside story.However, Dai Shao had to deal with all kinds of people because of his work, and he had to understand these situations in order to arrange the construction progress. Therefore, even though he himself did not participate in the activities of dividing up the scarce land resources, he still knew some of the inside information.

As Tao Hongfang expected, although the official decision to build the Hangzhou Railway Station here has not been announced to the public, in fact, many well-informed people have already learned about this matter through various internal channels, and they are very concerned about this. Planning has shown great interest.

What does a railway station mean to the development prospects of an area? It is not difficult for anyone with a little knowledge to imagine, especially those dignitaries who have been to Hainan Island or even lived there for a long time. They are very clear about the railway station. How much room for appreciation in the surrounding area.As Hangzhou is the future capital of the Haihan Empire, the railway station here obviously has a great chance to become a regional land transportation hub, and the commercial value of the surrounding areas will exceed ordinary people's imagination in the future.

With such a good thing, there will naturally be people who are unwilling to stand on the sidelines and try to buy the surrounding land that has not yet appreciated in value. In the future, even if they simply build a warehouse here, they can easily profit by virtue of the location advantage.

Of course, people who can get inside information early on are not limited to this level, and naturally there are more lucrative projects that can be operated.

But just getting the news does not mean that he is qualified to buy land here.The Management Committee of Donghai Region may have expected such a situation long ago, and stipulated that the land transaction procedures in the relevant areas must be approved by the Management Committee before the transaction can be completed. People who want to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Tao Hongfang nodded when he heard this, and said, "If it weren't for this, some people would snap up the land, and then resell it to others at a high price to make a profit, disrupting the official development plan for this area."

Dai Shao nodded again and again: "Your Excellency, the situation is exactly the same. The government has a unified plan for the development of the surrounding areas, and even the infrastructure must follow the same standards. If the private people are allowed to build indiscriminately, they will sell it at a high price , it will inevitably cause a lot of troubles in the future."

As an official of the Ministry of Commerce, Tao Hongfang is no stranger to such situations.When the government wants to build some large-scale projects, it is of course hoped that the surrounding areas can also be planned in a unified way to facilitate subsequent development.However, official project funds are often relatively limited, and there is no spare capacity to include the surrounding areas of the project into the construction plan, so private capital is often introduced to be responsible for the development and construction of these areas.

However, in order to avoid the chaos mentioned by Dai Shao in this process, the officials generally set up certain thresholds, and try to choose some powerful and obedient partners for cooperation.The East China Sea Region obviously followed this approach in the planning of the Hang-Ning Railway, and screened the private capital that intends to participate in the construction here.

Although the threshold is set clearly, the selection criteria may not always be implemented in accordance with this. This type of transaction is carried out in private without any trace. to speak of.However, Tao Hongfang can be sure of one thing now, that is, those who can get the land here should all have a good relationship with the Donghai District Management Committee.

And it was this link that Tao Hongfang was interested in. He wanted to know who had the hands and eyes to know who would be able to pocket the land around the railway station before the construction of the Hangzhou-Nanjing Railway started and wait for it to rise in value in the future.

After some verbal inducement, Dai Shao finally revealed a few land buyers he knew.Unsurprisingly, the familiar group of "Yangzhou salt merchants" naturally appeared again.

In addition to salt merchants, most of the other buyers were powerful merchants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, such as sea merchants from Ningbo, silk merchants from Suzhou, and so on.In addition, there are also related households that Tao Hongfang knows immediately, such as He's firm that works for Shi Diwen's in-law Qu Yutong, and a firm that is said to be from Hainan Island.

The name of this firm from Hainan Island is very unfamiliar to Tao Hongfang. This is an unusual sign. After all, he has been dealing with major commercial organizations in Hainan Island all year round. He knows all the top private commercial organizations in chest.If you don't even have an impression, either there is something wrong with the information provided by Dai Shao, and this firm is not from Hainan Island, or someone wants to acquire land here and temporarily set up a commercial organization to facilitate the relevant purchase procedures.

Tao Hongfang thinks the latter is more likely. He knows that there are a lot of commercial institutions on Hainan Island, but not all of these institutions are operating normally. Many of them are actually in order to enjoy various preferential policies. The identity of the actual operator, or a shell organization established for some special projects.

If some people from Hainan Island hope to share some benefits in the development process of the Hang-Ning railway, it is probably the most simple and direct way to purchase land in prime locations along the railway in advance.If it were Tao Hongfang himself, he would probably choose a similar method and set up an empty shell organization to achieve his goal.

But it is a pity that Dai Shao has not had any contact with the real behind-the-scenes boss, and the information he has is only the place where the firm is registered.Whoever managed it and at what price bought the [-]-acre land, these key information cannot be provided to Tao Hongfang.

According to Dai Shao, more than 40 plots have been divided around the Hangzhou Railway Station, most of which should have been subscribed.However, he is not too clear whether these lands have been divided up. Perhaps the real information is only in the hands of the Donghai District Management Committee.

According to the plan of the management committee, the development process of these surrounding plots will lag slightly behind the construction of the railway station. At that time, its architectural design, water supply and drainage, transportation, fire protection and other infrastructure projects will all be constructed in accordance with unified standards.While Dai Shao is directing the construction of the railway station, he may also have to spend some time supervising the implementation of the infrastructure of the surrounding plots.

However, this can be regarded as a lucrative job. Since these projects need to be supervised by him on behalf of the government, then tribute from all sides will be indispensable.Tao Hongfang was even a little skeptical. This might be the main motivation for Dai Shao to learn about the subscription situation of the surrounding plots.
