Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 945, Land

The new R&D base in Shanghai is still under construction. This base is much worse than the previous large aircraft manufacturing plant, but as a simple R&D center, it is quite large, with more than 200 acres of land. Although it is all in the suburbs of Shanghai, Mr. Xu agreed to arrange commuter vehicles at that time, which is quite convenient.

Moreover, he also knew that this time, President Xu received instructions from Jiang Yan. In order to stabilize the personnel, the company intended to acquire some land in Shanghai and build its own new residential area. He had seen the drawings of this community before. From the drawings, it can be seen that the total area of ​​the newly designed residential area is about 100 acres of land, one-third of which is green area. Not only are there green facilities marked on it, but there is also a large artificial lake. All the houses are built around this artificial lake. This artificial lake alone is a very luxurious thing in all the communities in Shanghai.

If calculated based on the overall floor area ratio, the entire community can build more than a dozen houses. According to the plan, the community will be built into a high-rise residential area, with each house having more than 20 floors. Once the community is completed, it can accommodate nearly 10,000 people.

Seeing such a community, Mr. Wu was quite satisfied. Living in such an environment would make people feel very comfortable, and it would also enable them to work better.

However, the only thing he couldn't understand was that when that long-faced Mr. Xu came here last time to communicate with the relevant parties in Shanghai, he not only bought a piece of land as the future headquarters of the Shanghai branch of the large aircraft company, but it seemed that he also wanted to buy some land opposite Pudong.

"I'd rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong" is an old proverb in Shanghai. Everyone in Shanghai knows it. Could it be that Mr. Xu has never heard of it? Mr. Wu knows it. When the news came out that someone bought hundreds of acres of land in Pudong, people said all kinds of things, but most of them were not good words, and many people were there to laugh at him.

The Shanghai city is divided by the Huangpu River. The area west of the Huangpu River is Puxi, and the area east of the Huangpu River is Pudong. From the late Qing Dynasty to modern times, Shanghai has always focused on Puxi as its development focus. The International Building Complex is all built in the Puxi area, while Pudong is a barren rural area.

In the past, Pudong was considered a backward rural area by the people of Puxi. Although there was a river between Puxi and Pudong, the gap between the two places was huge. Therefore, at that time, there was a metaphor to describe the development gap between the two places: "I would rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong."

You should know that at that time, Shanghai people were divided into Puxi people and Pudong people. Pudong's development speed was not as fast as Puxi's, and it was still a relatively backward "rural area", which is what Shanghai people often call "country people". Anyone who has anything to do with farming is a "country person, farmer". Shanghai people are not only xenophobic, but also xenophobic.

No matter where the people of Shanghai go, they always have their own pride. They are proud, never bow their heads, and never admit defeat (even if they are beaten to death). It is easy to distinguish their "unusualness" from the crowd.

They didn't know that in a few years, Pudong area would develop into a modern city with the support of the country and become an important economic and trade area of ​​Magic City. With the development of economy and trade, Pudong New Area represented by Lujiazui has become the center of China's economy, trade and finance. Lujiazui, the core area of ​​Pudong New Area, gathers offices of global banks and is also the largest trading center for stocks, securities and financial investment products in the country. It has become the largest financial and trade center on the mainland and one of the top ten financial centers in the world.

Not only did Mr. Wu not understand, but Xu Damao, who came to negotiate with relevant departments, was also a little puzzled. After the on-site visit, he also knew that the difference between Pudong and Puxi was still quite large. However, since it was the boss who spoke, Xu Damao could only follow Jiang Yan's instructions.

"Mr. Xu, the land your company purchased in Puxi for building a new company is industrial land. In principle, it cannot be developed for commercial purposes. Mr. Xu must understand this." After seeing Xu Damao handing over the information, the people from the relevant departments in the conference room discussed it in a low voice and then nodded in agreement, and emphasized it.

"Don't worry, our company understands this, but we hope that the two hundred acres of land and the land purchased in Lujiazui, Pudong, will be used for commercial purposes." Xu Damao nodded after listening, and then continued. "Can you explain what you need to do with the purchase of these lands? I mean, what are you going to build?"

"It's like this. We bought these two hundred acres of land to build a residential area. As the saying goes, only when you have a stable home can you work happily. These residential areas are to accommodate our company's personnel. This is the relevant design drawing. The Sijiucheng Design Institute participated in the design of this design drawing."

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he signaled to his secretary, who then opened the design drawings that were on his body and gave a brief report.

Seeing the design drawings of this community, the leaders attending the meeting were almost overwhelmed. They had seen design drawings of many communities, but had never seen a community where one-third of the area was used for greening. The description on the schematic diagram was truly magnificent, especially the artificial lake, which was so pleasing to the eye.

"Mr. Xu, you have quite a few houses in this community. According to your plan, you cannot use these houses to accommodate your employees. I wonder what you will do with the other houses." A person participating in the meeting spoke up.

"Originally, the extra residential area was prepared for sale. Once our CEO Jiang sells it, the people living there will be more chaotic, which will also pose a certain risk to the safety of our workers. Everyone also understands what our newly established company is used for. What he meant was to see if there is any need here. If there is a need, we can absorb it internally, which will also be good for the safety of the community. I believe that the people arranged to live in our community are those with high quality."

When everyone participating in the meeting heard Xu Damao's words, their eyes lit up, especially this subtle flattery which sounded quite pleasing to the ears.

Although the overall economy of Shanghai is much better than other cities, it is still extremely limited, and the government cannot come up with more funds to solve the housing problem. So far, housing in related units is still quite tight. So after Xu Damao proposed this, their eyes lit up and they were very happy.

According to the plan on the blueprint, the number of resident rooms to be built in this community was quickly calculated. If they are built, Jiang Yan and his team can only use half of the residential rooms at most to accommodate the workers. That means they can get the other half, which is hundreds of houses, enough to solve the housing problems of a large number of people. Together with the existing tube-shaped buildings and other houses, all these combined can basically solve the housing problem.

However, if such a large amount of funds is taken out, the financial pressure will still be quite enormous. The problem is that there is no budget for this part of the funds now. This not only makes those who are doing it scratch their heads, but also makes it very uncomfortable to look at the fat meat at their mouths and not eat it.

Also, if they abandoned the house in this community and other people found out, it would basically be the same as killing them.
