My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 654 This direction isn't necessarily a bad one.

Before leaving, I went to check out the plot of land.

It's located near the embassy and consulate area, or more accurately, closer to the Royal Palace Museum than the embassies and consulates themselves.

Within the standard first ring.

The hotel tycoons have good eyesight; right now, Beijing is full of dilapidated alleyways and old courtyard houses.

They found a place where the front of the building was an old office building, and the back was a courtyard house.

It has both a spacious and bright front and quiet and unique back alleys.

Now, following instructions from higher authorities, the old building in front will be handed over to a real estate company under the China National Automobile Industry Corporation. Then, the newly established Wanmad Boutique Hotel Management Company will contract the land from the real estate company to build a new hotel building.

The courtyard houses behind were acquired by the joint venture hotel management company, completing the ownership transfer without altering the land.

All of this was not something that a skilled joint venture partner like Wei Dong could not handle.

The property rights of the houses cannot be owned by foreign capital.

Therefore, as the controlling shareholder, Weidong was allowed to fund the construction of this building and the renovation of the courtyard house, and was responsible for the decoration under the guidance of foreign experts. The foreign party was responsible for all imported decoration materials, as well as the subsequent decoration costs and employee training. The two parties actually held equity and management rights in a ratio of 51% and 49%, respectively.

The specific matters are managed by the foreign party, but Wei Dong is given the right to make decisions and veto.

Super 6 Hotels operates under a standard franchise model, with Dongsheng Hotel Company, the general agent for Greater China authorized by Wanmad Hotel Group, responsible for all costs related to building construction, leasing, decoration, management, and operation. Dongsheng Company also pays an annual management fee to the hotel group.

They gained the right to use the globally unified Super 6 hotel brand, which Wei Dong scoffed at, as well as the complete management model he desired most, including a brand-new computer management system!
In Singapore, Wei Dong learned that almost all the computers imported from Thailand were used in high-end foreign hotels to serve their guest room systems.

This has become a major pretentious aspect of modern hotel management.

So even though the right to use that brand meant that Super 6 users worldwide could quickly check in in mainland China and bring in customers, Wei Dong still felt that the computer management system was more important than the management and operation model.

Keep up with the pace from the very beginning and develop your own products.

What's even more impressive is that Wei Dong acquired a property with three courtyard houses within the first ring road, with foreign capital jointly holding and protecting it.

Just imagine how much a 30,000-square-meter building at the foot of the imperial city will be worth in the future.

Before leaving, he asked Weidong to ask the elderly folks from the sanitary napkin factory in the alley to inquire about the selling price of the courtyard house.

It wasn't the kind of grand mansion with multiple courtyards that was later rumored to exist. It was a small courtyard shaped like the Chinese character "回" (hui), about 20 or 30 meters square. It was very clean and tidy, with rooms on all four sides. I was amazed to find that a lot of illegally constructed space was divided among seven or eight families.

Fortunately, due to the year, each family was not split into several separate families.

It's good for unifying our thinking.

The courtyard alone covers an area of ​​four to five hundred square meters, and the house on the certificate is about three hundred square meters, which means the courtyard is not small. They are determined to sell it for 100,000 yuan.

Even so, they still believe that bungalows are definitely not as valuable as multi-story buildings, and this is the prevailing perception in society.

In fact, some dilapidated courtyards can be sold for 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. The Lao Rang couple bought a few rooms in an alley near the factory to make a courtyard, and it only cost them less than 20,000 yuan.

Wei Dong calculated that the house was only a little over 300 yuan per square meter, and the yard was only a little over 200 yuan. He felt that in order to avoid having no children with skin in the future, he proposed that each family should have an apartment with an elevator built by Pingqi, and then receive a cash compensation of 5,000 to 8,000 yuan depending on the size of the apartment. There would also be a rental subsidy during the relocation period.

Who would want to live in this cramped, damp, old, and dilapidated apartment? As long as it's not a move to the suburbs near the airport road, moving from the first ring road to the third ring road wouldn't be a big problem.

They all signed in no time, and we'll try our best to arrange for the more than twenty neighboring households to be on the same floor.

Originally intending to hand these matters over to Lao Geng, Qin Yuye took them over and handed them over to Ai Jiayi and Yu Xiaoqiu to manage.

The idea is to separate urban construction from real estate to prevent it from becoming too large.

Dong Xueqing hit the nail on the head: "It's the difference between the home and the outside. We shouldn't know too much about the distribution of these assets. Xiaoyuemei often told me this before. We must keep the business, accounts and personnel in the factory and the office building separate to prevent others from knowing our family's secrets."

This requires a family tradition.

Qin Yuye emphasized: "No matter how close you are to Lao Geng and Lao Cheng, you can't forget that you are the boss. You are the leader of the entire corporate group and family. You should naturally take the lion's share. You see their hard work and fair rewards and punishments. This control should be in your hands. You need to make everyone understand that without you, they have nothing to do."

After thinking about it, he admitted, "Your previous practice of readily dividing up your assets to me was actually very unprofessional! I only said this after we got married."

Wei Dong didn't take it seriously. He started by selling cured meat and made a fortune in three years. Even if he gave it all to you now, with the connections he had already built and a few hundred thousand or a million in cash, you could start over and make a fortune.

But deep down, I know this approach is correct.

He remained silent, not wanting to pay attention to the two of them.

Because he felt like an emperor surrounded by concubines and eunuchs, separated from his generals and commanders.

Especially since Mao'er and Shitou often appear and disappear mysteriously around, making them look even more like real people!

Looking down at her daughter in the passenger seat, Xiaodie also looked up and sighed.

He gave off an expression that said, "Your father is incompetent, and the eldest princess will come to your rescue later." He then told Wei Dong to laugh and drive carefully.

They flew to Shanghai with a dozen or so people from the hotel tycoon, and were picked up by Hondas, Bluebirds, and two Flying Tiger vans.

Wei Dong discovered that Dawa was actually working as a driver among them, so he asked for a Honda to drive himself.

Despite being a small two-door performance car, the Japanese have a deep understanding of how to make the most of limited space, and even the back seats are not cramped.

So the two girls who were getting to know each other better sat in the back, and jokingly handed their son to Xiaodie to hold.

At that moment, I had no idea about child safety seats, nor did I think there was anything wrong with my child sitting in the front seat.

Make sure Weidong confirms that we really need to make that titanium alloy child seat when we go back, regardless of whether there is market demand, just make sure we have this thing.

After leaving the airport, we naturally took the opportunity to check out the international community, where Chi Shiming was in charge of the progress.

Due to funding constraints, the project was not launched on a large scale or at a rapid pace.

First, build small eight-story apartment buildings along the airport road, using a staggered floor plan in the style of Southern Europe to break the monotony.

Then, the corners are decorated with white walls and black eaves in the Hui-style style, including the walls and archways, which all have a touch of Chinese characteristics.

The desired feature is that the buildings are constructed extremely quickly, with a staggered layout. The dozen or so units are not arranged in a rigid, orderly fashion, but rather interspersed and decorated in a petal-like pattern.

It has more than 200 households, with a spacious garden lawn and underground parking garage, making it an independent elevator apartment complex.

The brick-concrete structure is already taking shape, and the progress is much faster than that of a 20- or 30-story high-rise building.

We aim to build a batch of buildings and put them on sale first, and then build high-rise buildings and villa areas after that, to create market appeal and a good reputation.

Rang Weidong only stopped briefly outside the construction site, unaware that someone in the foreign guests' car had introduced the hotel tycoon to Rang Weidong's engineering project.

But just a few kilometers away, the electronics industrial park is already impressive in scale.

The modern factory area features a huge Apple logo, while office buildings and mixed-use buildings are undergoing exterior decoration, and a five-star hotel is simultaneously starting interior decoration.

It presents a completely different atmosphere from Heijing. Even though the surrounding area is mostly fields and rivers, the lush greenery is more beautiful than in the north.

Dong Xueqing, who was visiting Shanghai for the first time, couldn't help but exclaim, "I love it here!"

Qin Yuye immediately suggested, "Then I'll switch with you?"

Dong Xueqing said disdainfully, "You really think it's just an east-west division? Why don't you divide it into north and south as well?"

Qin Yuye hinted with a rich expression: "Sister Shen can go to Guangzhou. As for Pingjing, I originally wanted to casually ask where that foreign language teacher who went abroad to study went, but Yu Meiren asked me if it was Da Ying or Hans. There's another one in Australia."

While speaking, she encouraged Dong Xueqing to observe the driver with her.

Wei Dong was indeed a bit flustered as he parked the car: "We're here! Get out!"

When I reached out to hug my daughter, Xiaodie shook her head, her face clearly saying, "I'd rather hear some more gossip."

Qin Yuye immediately burst into laughter.

Wei Dong had no choice but to flee in a sorry state.

Fengchu, ever the quickest to intervene, said protectively, "Alright, alright, I can roughly guess who it is—some secretary who suddenly disappeared..."

Qin Yuye didn't care about the secretary at all: "You see, we have to keep pushing his moral bottom line. How can someone who wants to become a big shot have moral fastidiousness? Which billionaire isn't a master of deception? If you're not ruthless and still have a woman's soft heart, you'll suffer a great disaster in the future."

Dong Xueqing couldn't bear it: "We'll just be careful. Xiao Shen will be in charge of keeping an eye on these things. Yes, what if he becomes ruthless and cold-blooded and starts to deceive and scheme against you?"

The Hong Kong woman argued vehemently: "Given a husband who is down on his luck but treats me well, and a shrewd, powerful husband who is full of calculations against me, I would choose the latter. Such a life obviously feels more like a battle of wits. If he also has wives and concubines of the same caliber, then this life would be truly worthwhile!"

Dong Xueqing shook her head helplessly: "You Hong Kong people are too realistic. Oh dear, Xiaodie is not allowed to listen to these things, and neither is Chongchong!"

When Qin Yuye saw the focused little girl and the baby with wide, bewildered eyes, he laughed so hard he was too weak to even push his chair away.

But I still have to go down and accompany them as a translator.

Wei Dong noticed that Gao Yuanzi was also tucked into his sleeves, looking rather simple-minded, and mingled among the foreigners. Curious, he asked, "Can you understand English?"

Dawa shook his head repeatedly, but pointed to the documents and brochures in the assistants' hands: "I can understand those photos. Isn't that the kind of hotel you described, not very tall or big, but very high-class?"

After Wei Dong took him to inspect the Three Gorges of Kuimen, Dawa, who had a pig-like face but a very bright mind, said that he wanted to go back to the plateau to build a hotel in the scenic area.

At this stage, before mainland tourists have become a significant force, the pristine highland scenery could be sold to foreign tourists to earn a large amount of foreign exchange – a viable strategy.
