My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 462 This is how a prestigious brand is established.
Let Wei Dong stick to the same tricks he used at the Liujin Building.

It's someone else's land, someone else's connections, so don't try to pocket all the benefits.

Wei Dong felt that Jin Zhuoqun had been filming in Beijing for over a year and had built up so many connections that people didn't think much of him.

The reason might lie in this limited perspective.

"The podium area can be larger, like a long, narrow four or five-story building, which would be great for a shopping mall or shopping center. If we have enough connections, we could set up a television equipment purchasing center, and then all the television stations in the country could come and buy things from us..."

"Then this is a straight-up office building that can be combined with the shopping mall or separated. Each floor is more than 1,000 square meters. Large companies can take one or several floors, and several small companies can share one floor. Twenty-four floors would look impressive. I want ten floors here, which can be used for sales, R&D, or office work. The rest will go to Lao Jin and the land owner."

Everyone was stunned for a moment before exclaiming in surprise, "You mean you're in charge of the repairs, and in the end, it's only ten stories?"

That's about one-third.

"Yes, the key is to be able to build a building here and get things sorted out with all parties. I also urgently need office space like this in Beijing, which is why I shamelessly asked for ten floors. But I suggest that the operation of the entire building should be unified. Floors that we don't need can be rented out together. In Hong Kong, it's all calculated based on how much per square meter per month."

In fact, what Wei Dong was calculating in his mind was that each floor was more than a thousand square meters, so ten floors would be more than ten thousand square meters.

Old Geng and his team are already very skilled at repairing this building. As long as the exterior decoration doesn't involve high-cost items like glass curtain walls, it can be done for a little over ten million to nine million.

For him, it meant less than a thousand yuan per square meter.

Office buildings within the Third Ring Road of Beijing, in such a prime location, cost less than a thousand yuan per square meter for owner-occupied properties.

The question is whether it's worth it.

Even now, it would still be incredibly valuable.

Not to mention the soaring housing prices in the next twenty or thirty years.

This practice also immediately reduced the sensitivity surrounding private ownership of entire buildings.

Wu Xi crossed his arms and glanced sideways, whispering to Xu Rao.

He had previously told Wei Dong to build these two buildings, and the hotel would collect a construction fee, while Wei Dong would own the buildings.

Unexpectedly, more than half of them are now being thrown out for distribution at will, with the most valuable part, the podium building, being completely ignored.

This immediately earned the admiration of those who had been eyeing the housing market: "No wonder he's a leader who can spearhead housing reform, so impressive!"

"No wonder you've made such a success of every business you've run; you really have guts."

"Holy crap, Weidong, did you do this at the auto shopping center too?"

Wei Dong quickly shook his head: "That's state-owned, so how can it be divided? But office buildings and commercial centers should follow Lao Jin's ideas. It's best to have a theme. Centering it around television production and gathering television talents from all over the country will make it easier to prosper. So, following Lao Jin's method, I suggested to them that the Pingqi Commercial Center should be built into a national automobile industry building. Also, build those commercial and residential buildings around Pingqi, and turn all the spaces below into car dealerships. Just think about it, it's guaranteed to be a hit!"

Jin Zhuoqun then revealed a proud smile.

He was originally a very smooth social person, but after achieving success, he easily became arrogant.

Those around weren't fools; they were all shaking their heads in disbelief.

When asked about the construction details of the building, Wei Dong answered all his questions without reservation, even explaining the cost: "Of course, we are a former construction team of the Second Ministry of Machine Building. From quality to cost control, we are top-notch. Others may be about 30% more expensive than us. So, if you have any construction projects in the future, please feel free to contact Jiangzhou Urban Construction. We are a state-owned enterprise with guaranteed quality. We will ensure your satisfaction."

Everyone was extremely satisfied. In just a few words, they decided to follow Wei Dong's suggestion and establish a new property management company to manage the entire building in the future, and then distribute the profits according to the area and floor.

Old Geng sent a subordinate to liaise with the person they designated, and they immediately began a series of substantive tasks, including adjusting the design plan, submitting it for approval, and applying for construction.

Then they turned around and headed towards the guesthouse.

Wu Xi waved her hand casually: "Old Jin, you talk to Wei Dong about the construction schedule, I'll give your car a try..."

As it turned out, Jin Zhuoqun brought a pretty girl with him. Wu Xi only noticed her when she was about to get on the bus, and she was unlucky enough to squeeze in with Xu Rao and the others, which drew a lot of laughter.

He probably originally had this in mind, but he was embarrassed because he was in the public eye.

It's obvious that this is giving Jin Zhuoqun and Rang Weidong some space to talk alone.

That girl clearly can't drive, yet she still tried to get into this car. She's incredibly clueless.

Jin Zhuoqun's face darkened as he told her to wait in the car. He started the car and then lit a cigarette, taking a deep drag: "I don't mind if you pay for the construction and the floors, but why did you give them so much without saying a word? I had to find someone to get the permits for this land."

Wei Dong was too lazy to remind him: "You know more about relationships than I do. Now that we're on the road, let's not be greedy and try to do too much too quickly. Grasp one thing at a time and accumulate little by little to be the most stable... I reminded you last time that this plot of land is very complicated. It was someone from the railway who gave me the information. If it weren't for Wu Xi's guarantee and our joint efforts, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess."

Jin Zhuoqun's expression softened slightly: "Do you have any suggestions on how to operate it going forward?"

Wei Dong casually remarked, "Didn't I just say that I'd rent out the office space and turn it into a small serviced apartment for people to live in? You can take over the podium and turn it into a shopping mall. With so many new TV stations being built across the country, you'll probably need to buy a lot of equipment, right?" Jin Zhuoqun finally showed the disdain that comes with friendship: "You don't know anything. Someone's already taken a bite out of this. It's very lucrative. If I do this, I'll only offend people."

Wei Dong said, "I thought it was obvious. So let's make a boutique small shopping mall. You have the idea, and I can help you prepare all kinds of goods. Now I have more sales staff all over the country, and we will hold a big meeting in Jiangzhou at the end of the year."

Jin Zhuoqun had no idea: "A boutique mini-market? What's that?"

Wei Dong gave him some advice: "The construction period will definitely take almost a whole year. While you're busy, take some time to visit Yau Tsim Mong in Hong Kong or Ginza in Tokyo. They have these kinds of unique little shopping malls that can't compare to big department stores, but they have their own unique characteristics."

He was actually just making random recommendations; he simply liked the small-block layout and planned to use this type of small shopping mall in the Electronics Building block and the Shangzhou New Block.

But this is Pyeongsang Province, not at all like this kind of specialty shopping mall, and there's no such habit of coming here specifically to shop.

But it planted a seed of trouble for Jin Zhuoqun, who, at least, took it to heart.

Ten kilometers away, right next to another train station, right on the edge of the ring road.

It seems that the line they climbed was indeed mainly connected to the railway.

But Wei Dong noticed a famous hospital across the street and was quick-witted: "This hotel definitely has potential. Just the business of receiving wealthy people who come for medical consultations is quite substantial. Hong Kong businessmen should also come and see the advanced medical skills on the mainland. If you use this trick to get them, you'll be almost guaranteed to succeed."

By this time, everyone had come to approve of him and said with a smile that the task would be handed over to Xu Rao. If he could handle it, he would become the major shareholder, and everyone else would share the profits. They would just need to give him a long-term private room to show off.

The plot size is similar to that one, around 6,000 to 7,000 square meters, allowing for a building area of ​​over 40,000 square meters. However, due to various requirements around the first ring road, the maximum height is not allowed to exceed 15 stories.

This architectural plan stumped Wei Dong and his team: "We have started building hotels with Hong Kong businessmen in Shanghai and Jiangzhou, but these things have many unique shapes. We suggest creating something distinctive. We will try to cooperate with the Hong Kong businessmen as the construction company and earn some hard-earned money, but we will not participate in anything else."

However, the entire hotel is to be co-branded with the TV production building over there, so it seems that the project was indeed secured because of the halo effect of Kim Tak-kyun's TV series.

Now Jin Zhuoqun is no longer arguing about how much of the hotel he should get, and he seems to have calmed down a bit, which makes everyone very satisfied.

Even after securing the project, he couldn't afford the construction costs. Wei Dong advised him to act within his means and not to take out a loan during this period of tight credit and high financial volatility, as it was completely different from ordinary people taking out a mortgage.

Maybe just this one deal will wipe out all my gains and I'll never be able to recover.

Xu Rao flew to Hong Kong that very night.

Shen Laosan followed Lao Geng and the others with his head down the whole time, and only jumped back into Wei Dong's car when they got home.

Only Wu Xi glanced at Wei Dong, this inconspicuous woman, from afar. He had seen this woman stand alone in Jiangzhou and Shangzhou before, but now she was deliberately hiding herself.

That's very strange.

Of course, it was only after getting into the car that Shen Cuiyue gave Wei Dong a detailed and thorough evaluation of the personalities and characteristics of each of the seven or eight people.

Let Wei Dong just consider it the nonsense of some charlatan fortune teller who's been making up all over the place.

"Let's go back and pack our things. If Miss Qin wants to stay in Beijing to have more fun and sing more, we'll leave someone to take care of her. We'll take the Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway back to Jiangzhou. It's been a month, and Xiao Qing has been working hard at home. We need to start preparing for the year-end sales conference. I have some new ideas now."

Shen Cuiyue didn't ask him what his new ideas were, nor did she care about men pondering such grand strategies.

"Why don't you take Miss Qin into your room? You've been idle these past few days."

Wei Dong, who had been cautiously maneuvering around the situation, was amused by this peculiar woman who cared about his crotch: "You've been idle for quite a while now, go find yourself a place to live!"

Old Shen sighed, "What's there to be idle about? We honey trap scammers are professionals at conning people. We haven't even tasted it yet. Shall we give it a try tonight?"

This made Wei Dong completely forget all his scheming, and he laughed so hard he could barely hold the steering wheel.

Surprisingly, I found it quite enjoyable to chat with this devilish guy, and I didn't have that burning desire to immediately pull down my pants and get down to business.

Shen Cuiyue observed that he was indeed unmoved by temptation, and became even more frustrated: "It must be because I made a bad impression on him the first time we met that year... Sigh!"

However, even as she spoke, she couldn't stop smiling.

Back at the sanitary napkin factory, Qin Yuye noticed: "Wow, going on a date alone today felt pretty good!"

Shen Cuiyue quickly pulled her aside to discuss whether she should go and try it.

Hong Kong girls are more sophisticated and would scoff at such a straightforward and blatant attempt to seduce someone.

But they decided to go together. She also wanted to go to Shanghai to check out foreign trade companies and then rush back to increase the scale of the entire jeans export sales.

As a result, Xu Rao hurriedly called back and told him to wait, because the Hong Kong businessman would only invest if Wei Dong was involved in the joint venture!
