A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Chapter 72 New Lane
Chen Guangliang took Chen Shukun to inspect Wang Boyuan's land and introduced it.

"This piece of land belongs to a friend of mine. It's about 15 mu (approximately 45 acres). I want to build a new lane on it. I think I can build three-story buildings."

This was Chen Guangliang's initial idea: 45 three-story brick and wood-structured, authentic Western-style buildings, totaling 135 floors; each floor is 14 feet wide and about 50 feet deep, equivalent to an area of ​​80 square meters per floor, so the total construction area is over 10000 square meters.

In order to control construction costs, a warranty period of only thirty years is sufficient.

Chen Shukun, with a notebook, wrote down the client's requirements while explaining, "The cost of a new-style lane is much higher than that of an old-style lane or Shikumen. However, new-style lanes are very popular in Shanghai now, so there's no shortage of rental opportunities for these apartments."

Chen Guangliang nodded. He had done some research. Shikumen is an old-style building, mostly used in old-style lanes. Of course, new-style lanes are also an extension of Shikumen.

"The natural thing is to create a new-style lane as the signature building of our real estate company."

Chen Shukun said admiringly, "Among the many real estate developers in Shanghai, Boss Chen is the youngest. Most of the other developers are from banks or wealthy families!"

Chen Guangliang smiled and said, "I am also learning, learning by doing!"

Chen Shukun nodded, and then he began to survey the terrain.

"Introducing tap water and electricity here is not a big problem and is quite convenient."

"That's good. This is a very important question."

While everyone was inspecting the land, several people came up to them and the leader said, "Who are you? This land belongs to our boss."

The tone was a little wary, but still polite.

Chen Guangliang handed over a cigarette and then said politely, "I'm a friend of your boss Wang. I came here specifically to inspect this piece of land. I plan to visit him later to discuss cooperation."

"I see. Sir, you may not know that there have been many refugees coming here lately, wanting to build houses here, so our boss specifically asked us to patrol more often."

"I see. Let's take a look and leave. Don't worry, we won't build a house."

"Sir, you're joking. Just look at it!"

Although Chen Shukun had some doubts, he didn't bother to do anything unnecessary. After all, he only needed to come up with a budget plan and he could earn the 600 yuan consulting fee.

During this period, Chen Guangliang asked Chen Shukun many professional questions, and it was obvious that he was trying to learn from him.

Chen Shukun naturally wouldn't hide it, after all, it was the "boss" who was asking.

After staying for about two hours, Chen Guangliang and others left.

Finally, Chen Guangliang couldn't help but ask Chen Shukun: "Mr. Chen, how much do you think the construction costs will be? Give me a rough figure first so I can prepare!"

After thinking for a while, Chen Shukun said, "It's estimated to be around 15 yuan. I still need to slowly calculate the specific amount."

"Okay, I understand. Then let's communicate more!"

"no problem!"

15 yuan is an astronomical figure for Chen Guangliang, and he can't even come up with one-tenth of it.

Even Chen Guangliang couldn't afford to buy the land, and the other party might not sell it.

Wang Boyuan's land is close to Jing'an Temple and is estimated to be worth 3000 yuan per mu. The value of 15 mu is 4.5 yuan.

The key problem is that they are unlikely to sell them, as they are used as heirlooms. If you open a factory, they may rent it to you.

the other side.

Wang Boyuan, the general manager of Yufa Yongjinhao, heard from his subordinates that a friend had come to inspect his land on Yuyuan Road. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "What friend is going to visit my land without saying hello? I'm afraid it's just a beetle."

The subordinate said, "It doesn't look like it. Besides, they're gesturing as if they want to buy the land." Wang Boyuan shook his head and said, "Don't worry about them. As long as there are no refugees building houses on it, the rest is irrelevant."

Recently, he has been troubled by the refugees. He not only owns the 15-mu land on Yuyuan Road, but also a piece of land of about 20 mu on Daxilu (approximately the area near Yan'an West Road and Jiangsu Road).

The only thing he had noticed was his land on Yuyuan Road, which had been targeted by refugees who were planning to build a "rolling dragon" there. This had made him wary, as if the refugees gathered, his land would be in a mess, and renting it out or selling it would be much more difficult.

"Okay, we'll drive them away regularly!"

Wang Boyuan said: "Hmm"

As for someone wanting to buy his land, this is undoubtedly a joke. He will never sell his land and intends to hold it for a long time.

Next.

Chen Guangliang began to establish the "Yangtze River Real Estate Company" and planned to recruit an accountant and an architect through newspapers.

Registering a company is very simple, and it is registered in the International Settlement. Anyway, there is no need to have an office in the concession. All you need is proof of identity of the legal person and payment of a sum of money.

Therefore, the office of Changjiang Real Estate Company is still in a newly built house of Changjiang Car Dealership.

The starting capital of the entire "Yangtze River Real Estate Company" was only 2000 yuan, which was Chen Guangliang's one-month dividend.

What the Changjiang Real Estate Company will do next is to develop a real estate project worth 20 oceans.

Is it whimsical?
Chen Guangliang believes that this is definitely not a fantasy. As long as he thinks quickly, he can become the "best speculator"!
"Boss, this gentleman said he was asked by the general manager of Jincheng Bank to deliver an invitation to you!"

Zhou Xinggao walked in with someone.

"Boss Chen, this is the invitation from Manager Cheng. Jincheng Bank is holding a thank-you dinner on the 31st of this month, and you're invited!"

"Thank you, I will be there on time."

Holding the invitation in his hand, Chen Guangliang then personally saw the person off.

He only now realized that although Jincheng Bank was huge, it was actually very cautious in lending.

However, there are only a handful of companies that provide loans to real estate and construction.

He is one of the people in this field.

Moreover, at that time, Jincheng Bank was still far behind the Shanghai Savings Bank in strength.

Therefore, the mortgage loan for Chen Guangliang's land was due to the appreciation and respect that Cheng Zikang, the general manager of Shanghai Stock Exchange Dividends, had for him.

In addition, Chen Guangliang and Cheng Zikang can be said to be "both giving it a try". Cheng Zikang persuaded the board of directors of the northern headquarters to invest in land and properties in Shanghai, and this was partly due to Chen Guangliang's reasons.

Chen Guangliang borrowed as much as 1.8 yuan from Jincheng Bank, which is also a relatively large personal loan.

After all, Jincheng Bank's larger loans basically involve "loans to companies with investment relationships", "industrial loans (textile, chemical, coal mining and flour industries)" and other companies with a certain scale.

It is rare for an individual to obtain such a large loan.

This is also why he insisted on doing this business with Jincheng Bank. After all, if he went to Li Shoumin (Shanghai Commercial Savings Bank) again, he would have to spend a lot of effort to convince him.

Why not just have one cooperative bank for real estate and another for car dealerships? This way you can also expand your network of contacts.

Looking at the invitation in his hand, Chen Guangliang was quite happy. After all, it was such a grand occasion and he could make new friends.

A network of personal connections is always the most important thing in doing business, especially in the Chinese world.
