Journey 1995:Non-Stop

Chapter 320 Land
The reason Yan Hui wanted to secure the land as soon as possible was because he needed to retain Chen Jian and his wife through continuous investment.

Only after the land is acquired will everyone feel at ease. Whether it's investors like my brother-in-law and cousin, or tech shareholders like Chen Jian, everyone needs this land.

Only the land and tomorrow will remain.

With land, everyone feels secure and has roots.

This 80-acre industrial land area, which is over 50000 square meters, is about 150 meters wide and over 300 meters long, can be used to build the factories that everyone needs.

On this day, Yan Hui, along with his brother-in-law, cousin, and Chen Jian and his wife, returned to this land once again.

This is the first time everyone has come here as shareholders; we've visited several times before.

Yan Hui's original plan was to acquire the land this year and start construction next year, but he later changed his plans and is now preparing to start construction immediately. For polyurethane technology to lead the world, it must lead in terms of time; the times won't give him much of a chance.

The profit margin for plywood is still sufficient, around 30 yuan per month. Yan Hui currently has about 100 million yuan in cash on hand, which can barely support the construction work before the Chinese New Year this year.

The construction industry is currently Yan Hui's biggest asset; he has effectively controlled a large area of ​​the plywood and steel formwork rental market. Two years prior, he also dominated the plywood market at many construction sites.

After a long period of development, the steel formwork company has steadily grown in size, to the point that Yan Hui has even officially entered the steel industry. If he hadn't chosen the chemical industry, Yan Hui might have already gone into steel. Those familiar with Yan Hui know that steel is a sore spot for him; he suffered a significant setback in the past.

This year, Yan Hui has clearly felt the resistance during the expansion of his steel formwork company. Having lived in Jinan for five years, Yan Hui knows the maps of the surrounding districts by heart. His motorcycle, van, and car have accumulated at least 20 kilometers of driving experience; he could practically navigate this area with his eyes closed.

The current plywood market is relatively smooth, and the profit margin of his supply chain has consistently remained around 10%. Yan Hui has optimized the supply chain to its limits in terms of source prices, production scale, and various channels, achieving economies of scale and limiting competition in the industry. However, the steel formwork market is different. In recent years, more and more companies with capital have emerged; five years ago, several million yuan was a large sum, but now many business owners can afford it. Under these circumstances, the rental yield of steel formwork companies is declining.

Chen Jian walked to the middle of the land, where there was a small mound of earth, a small portion of soil left over from the government's land leveling process, only a little over a meter high.

"Weiwei, come here, come here," Chen Jian called to his wife, who was not far away.

"What's wrong?" Liu Wei walked over, somewhat puzzled.

The mound of earth was uneven, so Chen Jian reached out and pulled Liu Wei up so she could stand on it.

The land was large enough that everyone else was tens or even hundreds of meters away. Chen Jian held his wife's hand and looked around. Although the platform was only one meter high, Chen Jian still felt a surge of pride: "Wife, from today onwards, we have our own assets."

"This is all thanks to your hard work." Liu Wei held Chen Jian's hand tightly.

"President Yan has treated us well. This factory will be our home from now on. I'm confident." Chen Jian at this moment is a completely different person from a year ago.

When Dr. Luo left, his experiments were hampered, and at over 30 years old, he had no idea what his future held. But now it was different; now, Chen Jian was someone to be reckoned with!

“Yes, this land is so expensive, the company’s valuation is nearly 500 million higher, and President Yan didn’t reduce our shares. This 6% stake is worth 180 million, enough for us to buy two apartments back in Beijing.” Chen Jian looked northwest, his eyes slightly moist. “I have a feeling that this chemical plant will take off in two years at most.” “It’s all because of you!” Liu Wei hugged her husband tightly, her heart equally turbulent. She had been by his side for so long, always supporting him, and encouraging him whenever he had thoughts of giving up.

The pressure Liu Wei felt was no less than Chen Jian's, but she never said it.

Doing experiments is like winning the lottery. Since they embarked on the path of postgraduate entrance exams and doctoral studies, they have been on and off for nearly 10 years. Their peers already have children in elementary school, but they have been working hard in the laboratory for ten years. They didn't know what it was all for, but at this moment, everything has become clear.

land.

As a doctoral student, Chen Jian is naturally excellent in mathematics. He owns 6% of the 80 mu of land, which is equivalent to 3200 square meters of land!
is his!
It's the result of his many years of hard work!

I've known Yan Hui since the beginning of 2001, and it's been almost 5 years now!
call.
Unlike the bosses who were inspecting construction sites, Chen Jian felt that he wouldn't get tired even if he stood here all day.

On the other side of the land, Yan Hui took out a blueprint and talked to his brother-in-law and cousin about the design of the factory.

Both of them have experience in factory construction.

“I’ve had some connections in Jinan over the years. The design institute I found is a qualified chemical engineering design institute. There are no problems with fire protection and safety. The safety review report and fire protection design review report have both been approved. The construction drawings are also under review by the construction engineering quality supervision station, and it should be ready soon. In a few days, the district leaders will come with the ‘Construction Project Construction Permit.’ I’ve calculated the dates, and if everything goes smoothly, construction will start on National Day!” Yan Hui had been busy for who knows how long.

Applying to start construction requires completing a series of prerequisites, such as land acquisition, planning, environmental impact assessment, safety assessment, and fire protection. These are all very difficult to obtain. However, because this is a high-tech enterprise, the district leaders attach great importance to it and hope to include it in this year's work report. Therefore, the complex issues have been simplified.

Once construction officially begins, Yan Hui will only need to deal with the quality supervision department, which will be straightforward. As someone in the construction site business, Yan Hui is very familiar with this aspect.

As everyone was making plans, several cars approached from a distance, getting closer and closer.

Yan Hui realized that these cars were probably looking for him, so he went out to greet them.

There was a car in front and two trucks behind.

As Yan Hui got a little closer, he realized that this was the factory director's car.

Factory Manager Xiang has made a fortune following Yan Hui's lead over the years, and now he's upgraded to a Santana 2000. Actually, Factory Manager Xiang could have easily gotten a better car, but knowing that Yan Hui was only driving a Buick, he deliberately kept a low profile.

"President Yan!" Director Xiang got out of the car and jogged over.

"Director Xiang? What brings you here?" Yan Hui asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I heard that President Yan spent over 1000 million to acquire this land, that's quite a big spender! Of course I had to come and see! Construction is about to start, right? Our factory has some prefabricated houses, I brought two over for you! Congratulations!" Director Xiang had come to deliver a gift.
