A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Chapter 95 New Real Estate Project (Subscription Request)

the following few days.

No. 13 Yingchunfang was attacked by a murderer, and the news quickly spread in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Some newspapers even dug up inside information and published reports on the conflict between Gu Zhuxuan's Gu's Car Dealership and a small and medium-sized car dealership. The article even implied that Gu Zhuxuan collected "protection fees" from a certain car dealership and suppressed small car dealerships, which eventually led to bitter consequences.

As soon as these news came out, Gu Zhuxuan immediately became notorious.

This was something Gu Zhuxuan had never thought of.

By the time he reacted, the news had already spread to the media and it was too late to deal with it.

Even the Municipal Council of the Concession disliked Gu Zhuxuan and deliberately amplified public opinion, which had a great impact on Gu Zhuxuan for a time.

In a teahouse.

The owners of six middle-class car dealerships gathered together again, but they were not happy.

Han Yanbao even complained, "Did someone hire an assassin to go to Gu Zhuxuan's residence and assassinate him? This is a foolish thing to do. If we anger Gu Zhuxuan, we will all be in trouble."

Feng Jingtao frowned and said, "It might not be one of us. Don't make random guesses. You haven't read the newspaper. Gu Zhuxuan has offended Yong'an Company and the Municipal Council. Maybe they did it. What's more, Gu Zhuxuan's reputation has been severely damaged, so we may not be afraid of him."

The others said:
“I definitely wouldn’t do that.”

"Yeah, I can't even defend myself against him, how dare I provoke him."

Everyone denied it, fearing that they would get into trouble. After all, Gu Zhuxuan had so many gangsters under his command, and they didn't know when they would be killed.

Han Yanbao sighed. He now thought of this terrible possibility. If he had known this earlier, he should not have joined this alliance. He would have just taken 10%.

But now, he was reluctant to give up the opportunity.

Feng Jingtao said, "No matter what, the six of us must remain united. We can't hand over the dealership information, and we certainly can't agree to the 10% commission. As long as we stand together, we can definitely make Gu Zhuxuan back down."

"Okay, I agree with this. Give the enemy a beating when they're down!"

"Yes, what are you afraid of!"

Soon, everyone reorganized the information and decided to fight Gu Zhuxuan to the end.

What they didn't know was that Gu Zhuxuan was also very angry with them. If he wasn't worried about leaving evidence or causing bad public opinion, Gu Zhuxuan would have wanted to send someone to kill the leader like Feng Jingtao immediately to make an example of him.

Of course, there are still laws in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, but the enforcement is very poor.

And generally, the Shanghai Stock Exchange's law enforcement is slightly better only in one situation, that is, the influence of public opinion and the attention of respected people.

Gu Zhuxuan had been in jail in his previous life. Of course, that was because he was framed by Huang Jinrong. One of Gu Zhuxuan's bodyguards/disciples killed someone, and as a result, Gu Zhuxuan himself was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. If it weren't for Gu Zhutong's plea and other arrangements, Gu Zhuxuan would not have been released from prison in just one year.

In this regard, Gu Zhuxuan's influence is far less than that of the "three tycoons", and his wisdom is also insufficient (he is easily caught by others).

On the other hand, Chen Guangliang was also thinking about the future trend of the rickshaw industry in his office.

Now that Gu Zhuxuan has been assassinated, he will definitely continue to cause trouble for the six major car dealerships. Now that Gu Zhuxuan is weak (public opinion has weakened), it is possible that the two sides will fight on equal terms. This will give Changjiang Car Dealership an opportunity to develop.

Moreover, for Chen Guangliang, neither Gu Zhuxuan nor Tang Jiapeng was a concern.

According to Chen Guangliang's understanding, Tang Jiapeng has great weaknesses - he is lustful, irritable, and narrow-minded. It may not be a good thing to have such a person as your subordinate.

Therefore, Gu Zhuxuan might suffer a counterattack from Tang Jiapeng in the future.

In fact, Chen Guangliang just wanted to develop his car dealership and do legitimate business, but there were some things that were beyond his control, forcing him to be involved in fights again and again.

Next, he will work hard to change this situation.

The car dealership business must continue to develop, but other industries must also be developed. The taxi industry is an extension of the car dealership.

At present, Chen Guangliang has achieved great results in the real estate industry. With the "Happy Home" project, he has gradually become a celebrity in the Shanghai real estate industry.

Recently, media and real estate companies have frequently visited Changjiang Real Estate for interviews and inspections, and Chen Guangliang has gradually emerged in the real estate industry.

This is a good thing. Chen Guangliang has the hope of becoming a real estate tycoon within one or two years.

The entire Yuyuan Road is 2.7 kilometers long, of which about 700 meters is parallel to Jing'an Temple Road. This overlapping section is undoubtedly the most expensive section; as for the remaining 2 kilometers, the price becomes cheaper the further west you go, and the more expensive it becomes the closer to Jing'an Temple in the east.

However, recently due to the construction of the "Happy Home" project and the rise in real estate prices in Shanghai, the price of land on Yuyuan Road has risen rapidly.

Chen Guangliang came to a place about 300 to 500 meters away from the west end of Yuyuan Road. On the east side of here were his 13 mu of land, where vegetables were planted and a public dormitory for the drivers, namely a large bunk bed; and the land to the east was the original "White Tiger Land", which was a mass grave.

The two plots of land are separated by a small river, so they are considered to be the east and west of the river. Not far away is the Hongye Garden plot (built around 1900, a mixture of Chinese and Western styles, with Shikumen form. The nine fake three-story garden houses in the north were built by Duan Hongye, son of Duan Qirui, in the 9s).

Actually.

After all, Yuyuan Road was part of the "road construction beyond the boundary" of the public concession, so there were some Shimenku buildings and garden villas on both sides of the road; however, there were more farmlands and wasteland.

But recently the price of this road has risen very rapidly, which has attracted the attention of many real estate people.

Even the cheapest farmland before has almost doubled in price now, and the lowest price is 2000 yuan.

The land price in "Happy Home" has risen to 4000 to 5000 yuan per acre (originally 3000 yuan per acre).

Of course, this increase would not make Chen Guangliang happy. After all, he knew that in the Shanghai Stock Exchange from 1928 to 1929, the entire real estate market increased its investment by 20 billion yuan, doubling its previous level.

So he estimated that in 1930, the cheapest place on Yuyuan Road would cost at least to yuan per acre.

This is equivalent to more than five times the amount in three years!
"Boss Chen, this is Mr. Cen, the owner of this land. He was also born and raised here."

Standing on the mass grave, Wang Zuoyi introduced a sixty-year-old man to Chen Guangliang, who was accompanied by several younger generations.

"Hello, Mr. Cen!"

He was clearly a respected local elder. Elder Cen looked at Chen Guangliang, sized him up, and said with a smile, "I've heard recently that it was Boss Chen who hyped up the land on Yuyuan Road. I never thought our family's land would be valuable."

If the small ditch on this Hexi plot of land is filled up (a small ditch two or three meters wide), the total area will be about 11 acres, which is not a small area.

In later generations, Wang Boqun’s former residence was built on this land!

Now Chen Guangliang has set his sights on it, and plans to build a new alleyway there, and at the same time build a building for himself as a residence.

As for Feng Shui, Chen Guangliang believes that if it works for him, it is called Feng Shui, and if it doesn't, it is superstition.
Of course, he can let other residents move in first to improve the feng shui, and then when his small villa is built, he and his family can move in.

In fact, a truly rich person can use these ten acres of land by himself.

However, Chen Guangliang is a very realistic person and does not intend to do so. It is already a luxury to use an acre of land to build a house for himself.

Chen Guangliang responded: "It's true that the land on both sides of Yuyuan Road is valuable now, but I don't want to buy your land. I want to rent it!"

Renting land is naturally more cost-effective!

Mr. Cen said disappointedly, "I thought you wanted to buy the land, but how do you rent it?"

In his mind, he planned to sell these eleven acres of land for more than 2000 oceans. After all, it had been used as a mass grave for many years, and he had never thought that anyone would be interested in this land.

Chen Guangliang then said, "200 yuan per mu of land per year, which means we pay you 2200 yuan a year here, as a deposit for one year's rent, and we pay it annually."

Mr. Cen quickly said, "No, no, I think it's better to sell it to you. 25000 yuan, take it if you want it!"

Chen Guangliang has a way to raise 25000 yuan, and he can embezzle some of it by using the "Happy Home".

but.

Chen Guangliang believes that saving every penny and spending less money to do bigger things is the best way.

So, he glanced at the younger generation behind the old man and said, "Mr. Cen, you should have many children and grandchildren, right?"

Mr. Cen was stunned and replied: "Of course it is"

Chen Guangliang smiled and said, "That's right. I'll lease the land from you for twenty years, and you can collect 2200 yuan in rent every year. More importantly, I'll build about thirty three-story brick and wood buildings on it. After twenty years, I won't be renting your land anymore, and these houses will belong to your family. By then, your children and even granddaughters will have no worries about food and clothing!"

Elder Cen was surprised and said, "Is there such a good thing?"

After saying that, he looked at Wang Zuoyi.

As a broker in this area, Wang Zuoyi has some reputation.

Wang Zuoyi immediately explained, "Of course it's more cost-effective to rent the land. In fact, the 'Happy Home' that Boss Chen is building is also rented land. The owner is the Gold King Wang Boyuan. So, if you rent out your land, it will definitely be a blessing for your descendants. On the other hand, if you sell it all at once, they will take home 25000 yuan. What if they spend it all in a few years?"

Chen Guangliang had already communicated with him in advance and introduced him to "renting land", but the commission he received was considered as "buying land".

Mr. Cen was immediately moved and finally said, "Then I'll go back and discuss it with my family!"

Chen Guangliang said gentlemanly: "It should be"

It can be said.

"Renting land to build a house, selling it in sections, repaying the principal upon maturity, and the house returning to the landlord" is simply a BUG and is definitely a "win-win-win" situation.

Land owners, cooperative banks, real estate developers, and residential owners all make money.

The whole process is a step of "rationally mobilizing funds".

Of course, from Chen Guangliang's perspective, in another twenty years, too much has changed, so the following situation will occur:
1. The principal of the residential owners has depreciated severely, and the refunded principal is worthless!
2. If the land owner or his descendants are still alive, the rent will be divided up by others within a few years.

Therefore, the one who ultimately made the real profit was the Changjiang Real Estate Company, which "made something for nothing". It first obtained a "construction profit" of almost 10% of the total capital, and then continued to collect rent every year.

Back to the office of Changjiang Real Estate.

This used to be a sales office and is now used as an office for Changjiang Real Estate.

Because this building was built at the gate location from the beginning, it does not need to be demolished for the time being. It is enough for Changjiang Real Estate to use as an office for about half a year.

Today, Changjiang Real Estate has a total of five employees, namely accountant Guo Deming, architectural designer Lu Yuantai, financial officer Wu Xinhe, assistant architect Yan Kuan, and clerk Liang Mengqi. All of them have received at least a high school education, and three of them have received a university or technical college education.

"Deming, Yuantai, we're almost ready to rent that piece of land near the mass grave on Yuyuan Road. Take your men to survey it and prepare a budget."

The budget for the Happy Home project was initially created by an external contractor, costing a whopping six hundred dollars. Now that Changjiang Real Estate has its own accountants and architects, there's no need for external contractors.

Guo Deming and Lu Yuantai were delighted and nodded.

"Boss, are you still planning to build a new lane?"

"Yes, we need to quickly fire the second shot."

Chen Guangliang thought that his model would soon be imitated by many real estate developers (the peak is expected to be next year), but this customer base - the middle class - is limited, and subsequent sales may not be so smooth.

Therefore, if we can achieve two projects this year, it would be considered good; if we can achieve three projects, we would be very lucky.

To be honest, Yuyuan Road is really a treasure. It has just been discovered by Chen Guangliang. It is hard to say about other plans.

The second project is expected to build 35 villas, plus a villa with a small garden (for self-residence); this time, the land will be used more fully.

"Okay, we get it!"

Chen Guangliang nodded, then stayed in the office for a while and went to inspect the construction site.

He has been learning about construction and is now considered a veteran in the industry. He is very familiar with the prices and channels of construction materials.

Of course, this is also due to his super memory and learning ability after traveling through time.
