Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 457: Group of Heroes (Third update, please subscribe)

The window air conditioner whines.

On the dining table, a pot of tea was placed casually on the glass turntable, and several cups filled with tea were just left there, unused.

At this time, there were more than ten bosses sitting around the dining table. The most conspicuous person is Chen Liang, who is sitting in the first seat. The last mayor of Shanghai who only served as mayor for more than forty days but made a huge fortune is just sitting there.

And his secretary, Sun Yifan, stood respectfully beside him, looking at the bosses from time to time. They were all looking at his report.

Tang Hui looked through the report. In addition to thousands of text analyses, it was filled with dense numbers and charts.

Just turn to the end, and you will see a paragraph written on the last page: In summary, there is reason to believe that investing in the construction of high-end luxury villas in Chang'an is not only promising, but also has huge profit margins.

For a moment, Tang Hui's brows raised slightly, and his temples bulged and hurt.

Because of excitement, but also because of discomfort.

As a real estate businessman, how could Tang Hui not see this market? A few months ago, when he first came to Chang'an, he had already seen this piece of fat. What gave him the most headache?
I just see the fat but can’t eat it in my mouth!
"I wonder what the bosses think?"

"Business is good business, but...Boss Chen, you should know that except for some commercial land here in Nanyang, residential land is generally not auctioned to the public."

Even if you want to spend money, you can't buy a suitable house. You can't even buy a house at all. Houses in Chang'an are very scarce now.

For a time, everyone started talking one by one.

"Buying land?"

“How can we do real estate without land?”

After a pause, Tang Hui said.

Sun Jichang, who was smoking, glanced helplessly at Chen Liang, "You, the dignified former mayor, have ended up in the pigeon cage like the rest of us!"

Just thinking about himself and his three-bedroom wife crowded into a six-bedroom house made Tang Hui feel heartbroken. When he was in Shanghai, he lived in a garden mansion. It's better now. Instead, we live in an apartment. Not only are the whole family crowded together, we can't even find a servant.

Chen Liang smiled.

After looking at Chen Liang, Tang Hui said.

"That's right, we are not Mr. Song. He is a big shot and can buy a piece of land to build a house, but we can't."

"Yes, yes, this is similar to the concession in the past. All the land in the concession belongs to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. If we want to use the land, we have to buy it from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce."

Although they have all seen the market for luxury homes, they can only watch it, because the land in Nanyang is basically public-owned, and there is not much private land at all.

"That's why we have to buy land first."

"Buy land? Boss Chen is very capable and visionary, but it's a pity that he made a mistake this time. Nanyang is different from other places. The land in Nanyang is divided very finely, including commercial land, agricultural land, and industrial land. If there is residential land, even if we buy a piece of land, if it is for commercial use, we can only build commercial buildings, but we still cannot build residential apartments..."

"As long as we buy the land, we can naturally build the house we want."

"I really don't understand what Nanyang is doing here. They don't engage in such a profitable business as real estate, but they give such good houses to the poor for free. What a waste of houses!"

"That's right, Boss Chen. Everyone here is an expert in the real estate industry. Everyone knows that there is room for this business, but Nanyang is no better than other places. Take Chang'an as an example. All land is official. If it is not auctioned, , you can’t get the land at all,”

Tang Hui's tone was full of helplessness.

Chen Liang looked at everyone with a smile. The reason why he brought these dozen bosses over was, firstly, to attract investment. Secondly, these people are all experts in the real estate business. It is better to have them join than to do it alone. A layman breaks in rashly.

"Although there are some luxury apartments in Chang'an city, those plots are all residential land. When we buy land, what kind of land do we buy?"

A man in his forties with a beard said.

"Isn't that right? In addition to public land, there are indeed a lot of private lands around Chang'an. But even if we go outside the city to buy the land, we can farm it!" His voice was extremely loud. Sun Yifan recognized him as Qian Hede, general manager of Ji'an Company. They had met him in Shanghai a few months ago.

Everyone nodded and agreed with Qian Hede's words. Sun Jichang also said at this time.

"No, those private lands are all agricultural land, either for rice or rubber. It's useless to buy them back."

Chen Liang smiled.

"Who said it's useless to buy it?"

"Is it possible that Boss Chen has some connection in the official office?"

Everyone's eyes lit up. If they had connections in the government, they could directly change the agricultural land into residential land, which would be a great development.

"Does Boss Chen have something to do with being here?"

Facing the expectant gazes of everyone, Chen Liang smiled slightly and only gave a vague answer:
"Generally, I still know some people."

"Yeah, Boss Chen is indeed a big shot who once served as mayor, and he actually has something to do here!"

Boss Zhu, who was sitting diagonally across from Sun Jichang, rushed to say.

"If the land use can be changed, then this business will really take off! Apart from this relationship, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary relationship!"

He glanced at Chen Liang and then touched Boss Chen next to him with the crook of his elbow, a thin man nearly forty years old. Chen Mingyun just smiled at Chen Liang and did not speak. Most of the others did the same and turned their attention to Chen Liang.

They all know that changing land use is a very difficult matter. That's why I'm so curious.

Facing everyone's gaze, Chen Liang said that after pondering for a while, he looked at everyone and said:

"Actually, like everyone else, I am unfamiliar with this place. Everyone knows that except for a few people in Nanyang official circles who were introduced by Mr. Song, most of them are young people. We had no contact in the past, so naturally we can't talk about it. Be familiar with each other."

Doesn’t that mean you didn’t say anything?
Just because they are not familiar with it, they can't even give it away even if they hold the tickets.

"But this doesn't mean that we can't build houses and villas here!"

Having said this, Chen Liang's face flashed red, and he looked very excited. Seeing everyone looking at him, he motioned to Sun Yifan to take out a document and said.

"Everyone knows that there are some rubber gardens around Chang'an, some of which belong to foreigners and are quite large, so I plan to buy one of them and build a villa there, and then..."

Before he could finish his words, Tang Hui retorted bluntly.

"That's impossible. That's agricultural land. If real estate could be developed, those foreign devils would have built it themselves!"

In Nanyang, land speculation was officially avoided by limiting the use of land. After all, a considerable part of the land here still belonged to private individuals, especially the plantations in front of the station, which mostly belonged to the British or British companies.

And there are many plantations around the city. Except for a part that was confiscated for military use during the war, part of the plantation is still in the hands of foreigners.

The reason why these people have not been able to obtain any profits from the land during construction in Nanyang is because of the land use restrictions.

If there is even a slight loophole to be found, how could those people miss the opportunity to make a fortune?
Facing Tang Hui's rebuttal, Chen Liang just smiled and said.

"Yes, of course the foreigners want to build houses and buildings, but the land is agricultural land and cannot be changed without special permission. It even requires permission and review from the Ministry of Land and Resources. Therefore, unless it is an official project, it is almost impossible. accomplish……"

He paused deliberately, and then spoke slowly.

"But... this doesn't mean that you can't build houses in plantations! For example, rubber plantations can build employee dormitories in the gardens!"
