My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 423 The High-Speed ​​Rail of History Slowly Starts Up

In fact, many entrepreneurs later adopted the same approach as Wei Dong.

Once they identify a new industry or sector, they relentlessly boast to the authorities, demanding resources, support, and special privileges.

It can erupt instantly.

Rang Weidong, however, only presented the advantages and disadvantages, and even listed the crocodiles and reefs hidden beneath the surface.

We just need the city authorities and relevant departments to supervise and observe our operations.

More importantly, it fully showcased its work situation to the people of Jiangzhou.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the food street, after a quick working lunch, we visited the Xishan Electronics Building, which was under construction, to inspect the massive scale of construction in the surrounding area.

Therefore, it is of great significance to put in so much effort to complete the two high-rise residential buildings in the animal village.

Not only did they immediately recover nearly 20 million yuan in sales revenue from existing homes, but they also had three floors of commercial space in hand, which they used as hard advertising to successfully sell off the other twelve residential buildings.

The down payment alone has already collected more than ten million yuan. Combined with the mortgage payments from the bank, the cash flow of all construction projects has become much more relaxed.

Moreover, seeing the booming housing market in Jiangzhou, Hong Kong businessmen did not hesitate to invest in development and construction.

Therefore, in the more than 20 “sun” shaped blocks that were planned, the four-star hotels, commercial office buildings, business centers and four residential buildings chosen by Hong Kong businessmen have all started construction.

Originally, Lao Geng had drawn the most core battalion, now the Infrastructure Department, and after the completion of the two residential buildings in the zoo, he only left one company to lead the newly recruited construction workers to carry out the subsequent construction of the animal village.

All other personnel were transferred to assist the Third Battalion in the construction of the electronics industrial park.

Because the Hong Kong businessmen can only transfer personnel to key positions such as construction supervision and construction technical guidance.

The actual civil engineering construction still relies mainly on the infrastructure team.

So, apart from the Second Battalion in Shangzhou, the Third Battalion Commander led a platoon to Shanghai to set up positions.

The main force is now spread to the Economic Development Zone, and five local construction companies and construction teams from Jiangzhou have also been gathered.

So, under the scorching sun, the construction site was bustling with activity, and the infrastructure team led the construction workers to move busily between the scaffolding.

Multiple construction sites, scattered like stars in the sky, are filled with steel bars and cement.

The enormous construction noise and the roar of machinery blended together, truly like a symphony orchestra playing in harmony.

It's amazing that people in the city don't find the "white buildings" so glaring at this time, and they don't find the scale of the Animal Village's real estate project, which is worth hundreds of millions, so breathtaking.

For Rang Weidong, who has a broad vision encompassing the entire computer industry, these things are a piece of cake.

There's absolutely nothing to worry about.

Director Tang of the Economic Development Zone certainly wasn't the conductor of the orchestra in front of him. He was sweating profusely as he emphasized that he would fully cooperate with Wei Dong before finally seeing off the satisfied city leaders.

Wei Dong had already "divided the spoils" with Lao Geng in the work shed.

There is only one dormitory building in the zoo. Apart from the more than 40 households who previously lived in illegally constructed shacks here, who could purchase the units with zero down payment through housing subsidies, most of the other 200 or so units were snapped up by dance troupes, catering companies, and commercial street businesses.

The old zoo staff hesitated slightly, still clinging to the idea of ​​subsidized housing, but that was no longer the case.

We can only wait for the next batch.

The building with existing apartments sold out instantly, with more than forty units paid for in full.

It is said that Duan Lixia was the main person in charge of passing on information to individual vendors in the home appliance and clothing wholesale markets who were paying in full.

Therefore, the two completed buildings required Weidong to advance approximately ten million yuan for materials and several million yuan for living expenses and wages.

Now, the 18.3 million yuan payment has been received in a flash.

Old Geng was a little confused: "What's the extra two million seven hundred thousand?"

Wei Dong took it for granted: "It's the profit of the urban construction and development company. My real estate company doesn't make money, but it shares the three-story commercial real estate and the underground parking garage with the urban construction company."

The two-story commercial storefronts in Shangzhou were eventually sold for almost the same amount as the total property price!

However, Wei Dong left that money with the Beijiaochang Urban Development Company for use as funding for municipal infrastructure construction.

The area around the back gate of the zoo... doesn't really have much commercial value. A city as big as Jiangzhou wouldn't focus on buying and selling shops in such a remote corner.

Wei Dong decided to hold onto the property, using it as the "office location" for the real estate company and the urban construction company.

At least during this phase of building the animal village, there's a general command center, so not everyone has to squeeze into the shacks on the construction site. Including the garage, the more than 3,000 square meters can easily accommodate over a thousand people.

They quietly left the real estate in the two companies.

That's why they say heroes emerge in times of chaos.

In chaotic times, no industry is properly managed. The real estate industry had not yet taken off, and the infrastructure team following Rang Weidong was exploring this new situation.

Wei Dong wouldn't openly pocket money in the real estate industry anyway. He also advised Lao Geng not to take it: "There's definitely a phase of frantically making money right now. We'll provide enough benefits to the brothers. The construction company won't make much profit or pay much tax. We'll find ways to distribute the high-temperature subsidies and overtime pay to the frontline workers. With such generous rewards, there will be plenty of brave men. It's also to encourage everyone to work together to do a good job in construction. Trust me, just accept these wages, bonuses, and subsidies. But after you retire, I'll give you a sinecure with shares so you can make a fortune. It'll be fair to you for your hard work all your life."

The main reason is that the urban construction company ultimately retained a portion of the state-owned shares, and Lao Geng was also a demobilized military officer assigned to the state-owned company.

The level is quite high.

Therefore, it would be jarring for him to receive high dividends as a private business owner.

It also makes it difficult for him to manage the brothers in the entire infrastructure team.

Because they are used to the military's principle of equal pay for equal work, trying to explain it now that it has become a commercial company, and that Lao Geng, as a senior executive, should receive a high salary along with shares, will definitely affect morale.

The reason for sending Wei Dong was simply to allow their own general to avoid being caught out during this ambiguous phase.

A gentleman's agreement is enough.

As for himself, for a private entrepreneur to reach this scale, making money is like a water tank in a math problem for a primary school student. There are countless pipes bringing in water and many pipes releasing water, and the tank is constantly expanding. How much water will be left in the tank in the end?

This situation is constantly changing, and nobody knows what will happen.

For example, the thirteen non-powered barges that are currently operating around the clock are powered by pushboats, with two or three of them working in groups.

The shipping company that transports goods to Shanghai and brings back purchased materials makes money from the trading company.
The transportation of sand, gravel, cement, and steel between Jiangzhou and Shangzhou was paid for by the urban construction company and the real estate company to the shipping company.
The transportation of Lahan white jade and marble was paid for by the Liujin Building project owner.

There are so many kinds of transactions, like transferring money from one hand to the other, that it's overwhelming.

Dong Xueying spends all her time in the finance center, overseeing an increasing number of accountants and cashiers, and even needs to ask Liu Zhiyuan, a finance and trade management cadre from Pingjing, to provide guidance. It's understandable that she's exhausted and doesn't want to show her face in public.

Old Geng felt that he was already quite wealthy with his current salary of nearly a thousand yuan, and never thought that Wei Dong's promise to make him a multi-millionaire would actually come true.

Now I have no doubt: "Now I have inexhaustible energy to lead the team to fight in the north and south!"

Wei Dong, however, urged him to extricate himself: "You should take advantage of the completion of the zoo's dormitory building, gain some experience and insights, and start working on the Xishan Building, the factory dormitory building, the animal village community, and the infrastructure team dormitory area. Hurry up and go on a business trip to Pengzhen, go to Shanghai, and then to Shangzhou to see if the urban construction company will expand each company into a separate construction company, going to work in various parts of the city and even the whole country. We want to become the best urban construction company in the country. Maybe you can even recruit other infrastructure teams that are not doing well in their transformation."

Old Geng was stunned by Rang Weidong's broad vision: "I...yes, you...I have indeed heard that some of our brother infrastructure teams are in a bad situation right now. You're right! Once we've successfully reformed, we should pass on our successful experience to other brother teams and lead them onto the right path. I'm still too rigid in this regard, not as thorough as you. I'll get to work on it right away!"

The reason Wei Dong is much older than Lao Geng is mainly because he has experienced a failed life of being indifferent to desires for forty years: "I will not get entangled in real estate. At most, I will just lend my name to support you in your work. But real estate is a capital-intensive and dangerous field where mistakes are easy to make. So remember my requirements for you, and we can support each other to conquer the world in the future."

Old Geng gave him a deep military salute, then set off with two bodyguards/assistants.

Wei Dong was about to go find Chi Shiming again.

The mortgage is worth hundreds of millions! Several major banks in Jiangzhou were vying for this project throughout August. One bank manager even wanted to marry his daughter to Rang Weidong or Chi Shiming.

In the end, Wei Dong made the final decision and gave it to China Construction Bank, because it seemed to be more in line with the nature of China Construction Bank's business.

This truly sparked banks' interest in real estate...

Shangzhou is still too small, and the influence of banks is limited.

In Jiangzhou, Wei Dong was about to embark on a major project, building twelve high-rise buildings with mortgage needs exceeding 100 million yuan.

Moreover, Jiangzhou's banks had cooperated with Rang Weidong on two or three occasions when he contacted employees to purchase houses, and had gradually tasted the benefits.

I'm slowly starting to realize that mortgages are probably the most enjoyable loan business in the world.

For banks, the most attractive loan in the world is a mortgage loan. Even if the borrower makes a mess of things, they can at least recover the collateral and sell it for money. As long as the collateral doesn't depreciate drastically, they can make a profit without any risk.

Within the entire real estate and land finance system, the land held by local governments and real estate companies, and the houses held by homebuyers, are the best collateral.

Previously, when Wei Dong was asked to cooperate with them, it was emphasized that employees should have income certificates from companies they recognized, preferably civil servants or employees of enterprises and institutions.

This time, I'm finally going to try it out. As long as you can provide "proof of income," I'm willing to lend you money.

At worst, the bank will foreclose on the property, so you won't lose money.

The purpose was to mortgage all three thousand-plus properties at once.

Such a large performance is much safer than lending money to companies for operations or factories for goods.

In short, Wei Dong was to return to the zoo before dinner. Jianggang Real Estate, in which Chi Shiming was a minority shareholder, had already received more than 20 million yuan in housing funds, plus the first batch of 30 million yuan in bank drafts.

The construction of a real estate community that can truly be considered "large-scale" in Jiangzhou, and even nationwide, can now officially begin.

Moreover, the construction of this dormitory building, funded by Wei Dong, has completely fulfilled its mission as the initial capital for this type of rolling real estate construction.

From then on, the real estate industry, like a train slowly accelerating, entered the historical trajectory.

Of course, all of this still needs to be examined by the centrally planned cities, the provincial governments, Beijing, and various sectors of society.

Wei Dong came to remind the HK boy not to make any mistakes.

His lord was extremely worried about ensuring the safe takeoff of his generals.
