My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 536 A Heavy Responsibility

Rang Weidong genuinely had no intention of getting into real estate.

But now real estate is indeed an important means of solving many current problems.

It's just that we haven't realized it yet in many aspects.

They were even racing against time to build this business center, which made Wei Dong have his own little schemes.

The Xishan Electronic Computer Building is nearing completion, meaning that this property, which truly belongs entirely to Rang Weidong, will generate a significant amount of cash flow in three or four months.

At the same time, a 28-story four-star hotel, a 20-story commercial office building, a 24-story commercial center building, and three 26-story high-rise residential buildings will also be completed around the same time!

In about a year, seven high-rise buildings sprang up in that area of ​​the Economic Development Zone.

This is a situation that is currently unprecedented in China.

There will definitely be a lot of publicity about it then.

However, hotels and commercial centers are mature commercial entities, and it takes at least one or two years for them to be renovated, prepared, and staffed before they can be put into operation.

Therefore, Wei Dong wanted to seize this time difference and take the lead in building a modern commercial center that is affordable for ordinary people and can also help many people get rich.

By the beginning of 1986, I had already felt a very significant increase in prices, and wages had also increased slightly.

But it certainly won't keep up with the rate of increase.

The paralysis of the state-owned sales system, the abolition of the housing allocation welfare system, and, more importantly, the failure of most enterprise reforms, were compounded by the fact that the state-owned sales system was paralyzed, the housing allocation welfare system was abolished, and most of the enterprise reforms failed.

Social sentiment is somewhat volatile.

This made Wei Dong want to do something desperately, without stopping.

They frantically recruited workers, built houses, and explored business opportunities.

We can take advantage of Jiangzhou's status as a leading location for economic system reform to make significant progress. Please follow along if you can.

Therefore, we cannot only see the model of Hong Kong businessmen building the land. There are not that many top Hong Kong businessmen. This could easily turn into a situation where various places grovel before Hong Kong businessmen and offer them land.

We still need to come up with another model that is more suitable for each region to implement.

That is, local governments use land as shares to support businessmen in investing and operating businesses.

Merchants don't need to have strong business operation capabilities; it's more like a free market in Shangzhou, where a platform is set up and the entire market is divided into many small shops for rent.

This truly allows such business opportunities to be distributed to many ordinary people.

Real estate developers can still make a fortune.

Wei Dong knew that these retail store distribution centers existed all over the country, starting in the 1980s and 90s, and everyone from big bosses to small business owners made a lot of money.

Get the business moving as soon as possible.

This has allowed various regions to see this disguised pricing method when they dare not cross the red line for land use.

Sure enough, the "Qinglang Plaza" commercial center plan that Wei Dong presented was approved instantly in Jiangzhou City.

The building occupies 6,000 square meters and has eight floors in total, including two triangular buildings with one underground parking garage and one underground shopping mall. The total area is 40,000 square meters and the construction investment is around 20 million yuan.

By allowing Wei Dong to hold only 45% of the shares, it is practically a clear indication that the land in this area is worth over 20 million.

Consider this case: many regions are still facing severe financial difficulties.

When Wei Dong was still quite resistant to getting involved in real estate, the local government never mentioned this land-selling fiscal model, but the tax system knew there were some problems with it.

But we can't worry about that now, we need to set an example quickly.

It's very efficient.

With the assistance of Jiangnan University's electromechanical engineering department and Hongyan Machinery Factory, the shampoo factory had just relocated its entire production line to the first floor of the fifth floor when the construction team mobilized its main mechanical equipment and started dismantling it with a bang.

Then, following the pattern requested by Wei Dong, the black bamboo panel partition wall was quickly constructed, along with project specifications and construction schedule.

Temporary dormitories, carpentry workshops, steel bar processing workshops, material yards, and dump truck washing points were quickly set up and construction began.

I've never seen construction this efficient in an urban area.

The area around the construction site quickly became crowded with citizens who watched the spectacle with great interest every day.

The construction soldiers were also a bit confused; were city dwellers really that idle?

But their attitudes were different now.

Because in the latest round of dormitory building lotteries, Wei Dong encouraged Lao Geng, and even persuaded five or six hundred key construction soldiers with families and children to apply to participate in the lottery.

After all, family and children wait for no one, and the construction of the dormitory area in Linjiang will last for about another year.

First and foremost, we must ensure the morale of our core personnel remains stable.

The construction soldiers had initially thought that before we arrived, this dormitory area would mainly be used for the construction of a sanitary napkin factory, but now they are pleasantly surprised.

I'm still very anxious about how many I'll win.

As expected, Mao'er displayed extraordinary prowess at the draw.

Faced with nearly 6,000 applications, the local police dispatched a myna bird, a monkey, and a dog to "precisely" pick out the lucky winners from the pile of application cards and number plates.

The scene was quite amusing.

The dog diligently bit off a big bag, then carried it over and read the number.

The monkeys were digging through the pile of tickets, grabbing and scooping, and accidentally spilling a lot. More kept spilling as they went.

The thousands of people crammed into the factory square were both laughing and nervous. "If you drop my number, I'll be devastated!" they thought. Since the myna bird could only carry one number at a time, it busied itself on the monkey's shoulder, sometimes picking up the ones on the ground and tossing them back into the pile when it flew back.

The entire audience watched as the five lively characters busied themselves, their laughter deafening.

Even the factory workers aren't taking it seriously anymore.

Wei Dong felt that asking everyone to temporarily stop working and rest was fair, just, and transparent.

The sanitary napkin factory, which already has nearly 10,000 employees, is the main force.

In the end, they did indeed receive over two thousand apartments. The infrastructure team received about four hundred, the computer team received over two hundred, the moving company received over sixty, and the auto repair shop received over twenty.

Jeans factories, Hong Kong business industrial parks, neon light factories, screen printing factories, etc., will have to wait for the next batch.

The six buildings house more than 2,800 apartments, and the foundations for the buildings behind them are being excavated and prepared. The entire industrial park will be built up to fifteen buildings in one go.

Only by looking at the total figures can we see that the original ratio of two to one is actually much higher in infrastructure, ridiculously higher in electronic computers, and almost all of them in moving companies!

The employees of the few moving companies that didn't get the job were laughed at by their colleagues, but they were able to move directly into the tenement building vacated by the computer technicians.

Shen Cuiyue sat behind the vote counting platform, watching the employee representatives elected by each department count their votes.

Smirk!

Dawa was dumbfounded.

Because before, he had only seen houses being built, and it was just a construction site, so he wasn't really moved.

Currently, each household is required to make a down payment of 10%, ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 yuan, and then sign a subsequent loan and mortgage agreement.

They quickly amassed several million in cash!

The young man from the plateau immediately gained a very intuitive understanding of how real estate could accumulate wealth.

The Municipal Real Estate Development Corporation, the Commission for Restructuring the Economic System, the Development Zone, and the bank all came to observe the entire process.

The newly launched Jiangzhou TV channel also broadcast this news that evening.

Only by successfully reforming the system and improving production and sales, and ensuring employees have a decent income, can they afford to buy homes.

As the largest commodity, its rapid circulation revitalized the economy.

Having a mortgage will naturally motivate people to work harder to earn money.

Even if some people criticize this as a path to stagnation, isn't this the kind of way society needs to maintain stability?
We cannot simply enjoy a stable and united society without contributing our own strength.

It feels like Wei Dong is just a construction worker who ties steel bars and mixes cement.

There are calculations and adjustments involved, all aimed at making the entire structure more reasonable and stable.

The young man from the plateau watched thousands of people happily settle their family affairs. He wasn't discouraged if he didn't win the lottery; he would save more money and try to buy a bigger house in one go.

These two apartment types, 40 square meters and 80 square meters, are available now, but there will definitely be many more options in the future.

Seeing that the families of the officers and soldiers who had followed him to various places finally had houses to live in peace and contentment, Lao Geng couldn't help but burst into tears.

The construction soldiers, who spent their entire lives building cement structures but whose wives and children could only live in prefabricated houses, are now overjoyed, even though only one-tenth of them now have houses.

My feelings of confusion and helplessness have changed dramatically since more than a year ago.

So, for once that night, I let Weidong have a big drinking session.

This time, Wei Dong was very careful, bringing the plateau combat regiment to deepen the relationship with the infrastructure regiment.

Dawa finally realized what a big business building and selling houses was, and naturally he also asked Weidong to make the infrastructure commander happy.

The alcohol tolerance produced by the highland barley wine was still astonishing; several leaders of the infrastructure team immediately began to feel dizzy.

Many commanders and soldiers received the news and wanted to come and help Lao Geng increase his combat strength.

Old Geng insisted on making Wei Dong drink it, saying nothing more, just drinking one cup after another, a kind of responsibility and loyalty that only men can understand.

Well, Wei Dong had no choice but to risk his life to accompany him.

They ate their drinks right there on the food street until almost dawn!
With great difficulty, he staggered to his feet, his arms around Lao Geng and Dawa's shoulders.

I saw Dong Xueqing and Shen Cuiyue sitting side by side at the table next to me. Fortunately, Xiaodie, whom they were holding, was already fast asleep.

Even after drinking so much, Wei Dong's mental alarm bells were ringing loudly, reminding him that he couldn't afford to make any more mistakes.

So I dragged Lao Geng and Dawa to the construction site on the fifth-floor rooftop!
The two girls, who were both amused and exasperated, along with Lao Geng's subordinates and Dawa's entourage, quickly grabbed their military overcoats and followed.

The construction soldiers are incredibly fast at building these small bungalows.

The cement pouring and bricklaying were done in a race with timed stops, and the masonry work was completed in just over twenty days. The rest of the work involved various intricate tasks such as white walls, blue tiles, horse-head walls, garden archways, and eaves.

The interior has been cleared out and is now just a concrete floor; there are no doors or windows.

The three grown men lay in the empty brick house, listening to Wei Dong's indistinct words: "Here, here, lead everyone, it is everyone who builds, builds a beautiful home..."

Dawa mumbled something, and Lao Geng waved his arm and shouted a slogan: "Build, build a beautiful home!"

Then, with their heads tilted to the side, the three of them collapsed on the ground and fell asleep.

It was only thanks to Shen Laosan's quick thinking and hands that he caught the head with his military overcoat; otherwise, it wouldn't have been a laughing matter if he had kowtowed.

Dong Xueqing's eyes welled up with tears again; she still felt sorry for her brother-in-law.
