The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 243 Two Types of Land
After getting in the car, the taxi driver drove very fast. Moreover, the roads in the central areas of each area of ​​Hong Kong are well-maintained, and there are not many traffic rules. It took about half an hour to reach the place where Honda cars were sold in Kowloon.

After paying the fare and getting off the car, someone immediately came up to them and asked if they were here to buy a car. Salespeople are paid commissions, and if they see people who took a taxi and came to see the car, the closing rate will be higher.

However, Jiang Cheng did not give them the opportunity to earn commissions, and directly asked to find the manager here, who was the person in charge. After explaining his intention to buy about 20 cars in installments, the salesperson also took the initiative to find the manager.

As expected, not just anyone can buy a car in installments. You need to mortgage or check your assets. Car dealers work with banks to provide installment loans, and you need to be reviewed by the bank before you can buy a car.

Jiang Cheng discussed the details with the manager in the office and left the address and phone number of the factory. He wanted 20 cars at once, each costing about 11,000 yuan, and the manager took it very seriously.

In fact, they are currently trying to seize the market. They say it is an installment loan, but the buyer does not bear the interest.

The advertisement was also very simple. It was not a loan, but an installment plan. The down payment was 2,000 yuan, and the remaining 8,900 yuan was 200 yuan per month, which meant it would take 45 months to pay off.

If you want to pay interest on the loan installment, then 45 months is definitely not enough. If you really want to pay interest on the loan to buy a car, then you can just go to the bank for a loan and pay the full amount for the car.

So this is actually the island country trying to seize the market, and it is doing something similar to loan installment. But you can also think that this car is actually sold for less than 10,000 yuan, but the loan interest adds up to about 11,000 yuan.

The current situation is that the car dealership bears the interest and cooperates with the bank to get a guarantee contract.

Jiang Cheng couldn't wait to pick up the car, he still had to rent a factory this time. If he couldn't get it done tomorrow, he might have to stay one more day. As long as the deal was done, the follow-up issues could be discussed by people from the company.

Jiang Cheng will also talk to the people at the processing plant about buying a car tomorrow and let them be responsible for the bank's review. If he can't get a loan, he can come back next time and buy two or three cars in full.

After leaving the Honda dealership, I went to buy a small truck and found that the truck market in Hong Kong was basically occupied by Japanese brands.

Except for Ford from America and Leyland from Britain, all others are island brands.

But from the perspective of cost performance, it is indeed the most sensible to choose the island country. Ford is just like what people in the United States like, strong and durable. But from another perspective, it is heavy and fuel-consuming.

If the fuel consumption is high, Jiang Cheng can buy a domestically made car, which can save the cost of a truck in a few years.

Still in the Kowloon area, there are many cars for sale here. Jiang Cheng and his friends sold a small truck and put a temporary license on it and returned to the New Territories, spending more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Jiang Cheng drove back, but he was not used to driving there because the driving seat of Xiangjiang's car was on the right.

After I got back, I went to the agency to ask someone to take a look at the furniture factory that was to be transferred, and then asked the agency to contact the person who wanted to transfer it, and made an appointment to discuss the details tomorrow.

The conversation went smoothly the next day. Jiang Cheng originally thought that he could only rent the right to use all the land in Hong Kong from the government. In fact, he felt strange when he bought the wooden house along the street in the vegetable market last time. Hong Kong was ceded and the whole thing belonged to Britain. Where did he get the personal land certificate?

But this time Jiang Cheng finally understood that he did not understand history at all. It was indeed ceded in the beginning, but the New Territories and part of Kowloon were not ceded. Initially, the New Territories and some places did not belong to Hong Kong.

Later, in order to expand the territory of Hong Kong, the British included the New Territories in the form of lease. Since it was leased, not ceded, the indigenous people living in the New Territories at that time had their own land.

In Hong Kong, there is no rule that agricultural land cannot be commercialized. The furniture factories here were actually rented from farmers in the early days.

If Jiang Cheng didn't want to buy expensive land and just wanted to open a factory, he could buy it from the local residents. Of course, there was a problem, that is, the residents' land was piecemeal, and it was not possible to build a large factory. He could only go to the Hong Kong government. Even if it was leased, the land that was not in the hands of the farmers still belonged to the Hong Kong government.

What's more, the Hong Kong government has always been selling the right to use, which is also reasonable because the government itself only has the right to use and will return it in the future.

The reason why the furniture factory owner wants the transfer fee is because everything on the ground belongs to him. In such a place, as long as the original owner agrees, you are allowed to demolish and rebuild it, just like the shop he bought last time. You can build several floors or expand the factory within the scope.

This made Jiang Cheng want to buy something. The market in Hong Kong is not big, and it is enough to build a factory with several floors just for meatballs and the like.

Jiang Cheng didn't plan to engage in real estate, so there was no need to pay millions or tens of millions of yuan for land transfer fees. He thought it was not a big deal to just spend a few hundred thousand yuan and let the people who bought the land here buy houses.

However, Jiang Cheng didn't have the money to rebuild a few floors of the factory, and he needed a factory to increase production, so he just rented it first and then arranged for someone to negotiate slowly.

The reason why the factory rental went so smoothly this time was mainly because Jiang Cheng was cheated and paid the transfer fee. The transfer fee included some broken equipment and the brick and cement house, but Jiang Cheng couldn't take the house away.

However, the transfer fee is not much. It is impossible to calculate it to Jiang Cheng based on the price of the house. It can only be calculated as the cost of construction materials.

If Jiang Cheng was not in a hurry to get the factory and took his time looking for it, he would definitely have saved the transfer fee.

The new factory building was rented, and Jiang Cheng asked Ali and the HR staff at the factory to handle it first.

Jiang Cheng felt that the people around him were not good enough, so he had to hire a manager at a high salary. He had to worry about everything, and he could only stay for two or three days each time. Every time he came, it was for expansion, and he even had to squeeze out time to do procurement in Hong Kong.

He bought a lot of cotton fabrics in Hong Kong, and also put some food in the space. At that time, there was no roast goose in Guangzhou, and the roast goose that Zhou Lingying wanted to eat was bought by him in Hong Kong.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when Jiang Cheng crawled out from under the quilt. If Shen Li was a dog, then Jiang Cheng had just acted like a dog licker.

Jiang Cheng's mind had long gone astray, the only reason he could control himself was because he had watched too many short plays in later life.

In later short dramas, the heroine's revenge was always because the man slept with other women when the heroine was pregnant. Jiang Cheng thought he should at least wait until the child was born.

At least this way, if it is discovered later, no one will use the words "during pregnancy" to make a fuss.
