Chapter 389 Real Estate Speculation
Judging from the scale of real estate companies in 1996, Zhou Shuo can at least be considered in the first echelon...
Among them, China started with the bursting of the Hainan real estate bubble that began in 1993. Although a large number of companies were killed, Hainan also cultivated China's first real estate market boom.
In this capital-intensive and man-intensive industry, it can indeed be said to be the most suitable industry for Chinese investment in the 1990s.
First of all, it has no technical threshold, and it is not as difficult as a high-tech industry to obtain qualifications in the construction industry. Secondly, its market capacity is large, which is different from many markets that have been destroyed by others. At least in this era, domestic investment cannot defeat it.
The large amount of infrastructure construction has led to an extreme hunger for capital during this period in China. From the economic overheating in 1994, it led to an economic landing crisis, to the policy of monetary tightening in 1997. Then there was the Asian financial crisis from 1997 to 1998. At that time, the situation in the entire domestic situation could be said to be in turmoil.
Under the pressure of this crisis, a large amount of funds began to hide in the real estate industry for risk aversion, which was during this period of time when the land prices, housing prices, etc. in domestic first-tier cities began to take off at the end of the century.
Among them, 1996 was a very critical year. At that time, China believed that the soft economic landing after 1994 was successful, but no one could predict the Asian financial crisis in 1997. Therefore, this window period can be said to be the last opportunity to enter the real estate industry.
Later, the leaders of China's real estate industry, such as Vanke, Wanda, Evergrande, and Country Garden, had already made a difference in the real estate industry before the Asian financial crisis.
It is very wise for Zhou Shuo to choose to operate the project of Fanhan Plaza at this point in time. By 1998, when Fanhan Plaza is ready to be fully launched, the prosperity of the real estate industry in the first-tier cities in China will provide a lot of profits and cash flow.
Of course, there is no way to talk to the few people here about the Asian financial crisis. However, just Zhou Shuo’s idea of Fanhan Plaza is already very eye-opening.
Such means of first enclosing land to build a house, and then investing in large-scale projects to increase land prices are also a common routine for real estate in later generations. Of course, if you want to do a good job in real estate projects, upper-level relationships and names are always indispensable. As a high-tech gimmick like the Internet center, it is still more stylish than Rose Coast or Shuian Huacheng.
At the same time, the large number of Internet cafes can also effectively promote the development of the domestic computer industry. I don’t know how many programmers and engineers came into contact with computer knowledge from computer games in the future.
For those who only know how to be addicted to computer games, even if they have never been exposed to computer games in their lives, they will still be obsessed with other things. They will eventually be responsible for their own lives. Some people play games and become WCG champions, while others play games and finally play games, and they can almost play gold coins in a studio. People who play games and die suddenly will be thrown into ancient times.
Of course, Zhou Shuo Fanhan Plaza’s idea is not limited to this. The office building of the square itself can also attract local high-tech companies to settle in and provide high-speed Internet services. At the same time, it can also build a supporting electronic city to master domestic hardware sales channels...
For Zhou Shuo, who has a huge sum of more than 30 billion yuan, this money will not produce much benefit without it. It is better to invest it in the real estate industry first.
You should know that in twenty years, if you want to maintain the top-level fab, which one does not need to invest 10 billion or 100 billion US dollars? The price of an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine (EUV) can easily exceed the "billion US dollars" unit. Intel even invested more than 4 billion US dollars in the early R&D stage, and also gave more than 500 million euros in vain. This is only Intel, and there are also Samsung and TSMC, and you can imagine how difficult it is to develop EUV.
However, the feast of these international manufacturers, Chinese companies, especially Panhan Group, are certainly not going to have a share. Asmay will neither sell euv equipment to China nor accept investment from Panhan Group, so it is equivalent to the future Panhan Group that will challenge the entire world with its own strength!
To be honest, on the road to the electronics industry, the entire market will definitely become narrower and narrower in the future. Zhou Shuo himself is also unsure whether Fanhan Group can reach the end. In order to try his best to raise funds, he must seize every opportunity to make profits. An opportunity like the domestic real estate market must naturally not be given up.
You should know that Zhou Shuo currently has two companies, Netjing and Microsoft, is worth 30 billion US dollars. Not to mention who can go ahead with such money. Even if he can borrow so much money from Huamei Bank, how can he be transferred to China? One or two hundred million US dollars of investment is fine. If he transfers 4 billion US dollars to China at one time...
Customs officials in China and the United States must be collectively scared of heart attacks.
However, during the Asian financial crisis in 1997, it was a good opportunity to transfer assets. At that time, billions of dollars of capital mixed with the huge fund flow would be inconspicuous. It would be idling from Southeast Asia and then returning to the country. It would be a good time for the property market to make efforts.
After drinking and eating, Zhou Shuo's ideas were conveyed to several people. He confirmed that everyone present had understood his ideas, and then ordered: "As a demonstration project in Xiongcheng, Fanhan Plaza, must be the best. Next, Mr. Li, please contact the urban construction, planning and other relevant departments to see if this project is feasible, and then write a market analysis report."
"Cheng, Mr. Zhou, don't worry!" Li Chiqi squeaked and drank all the wine at the bottom of the glass and said, "Even if the city does not have this plan, I can still let them create one!"
This is not Li Chiqi bragging. With Fanhan Group as his backing, he is a call for the wind and rain in the real estate industry of Xiucheng. Not to mention that ordinary middle-level leaders want to call him brothers, even the difficult grassroots ghosts and Chenghusheshi have to circumvent the projects of Fanhan Real Estate.
A one-billion-invested urban construction project is enough for the Planning Bureau to overturn any planning in any place.
"Manager Gao, you should be the most familiar with this kind of project operation." Zhou Shuo turned around and looked at Gao Mo and said: "Project capital mainly follows Fanhan Investment Fund. Fanhan Investment also makes a plan to ensure the safety of the funds and calculate the prospects of the project."
"I understand." Gao Mo didn't say much, took out his small notebook and wrote down Zhou Shuo's words.
When Zhou Shuo saw his notebook, he suddenly thought of the pad project he had considered before. The technical content of business pads is not that high, and perhaps he can start to consider research and development.
After retracting his drifting thinking, Zhou Shuo turned to Wang Er and said: "Manager Wang, the main focus of Fanhan Plaza is the concept of the Internet. In this regard, the construction of network facilities is the top priority. You must cooperate with Mr. Li to make good project planning."
"I, I understand!" Wang Erduo smiled and said loyally to Li Chiqi: "If you have any orders, just give orders. I, Wang Er, will never drag you down on the Internet!"
"If there are any difficulties in Fanhan Real Estate and Fanhan Investment Fund, the group headquarters must play their role." Zhou Shuo finally instructed Dongfang Ke: "The project plan must be kept confidential. If the site selection and planning are leaked in advance, it may cause twists and turns to the project progress. This is a taboo in real estate projects!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I will specially formulate a confidentiality standard within the group." Dongfang Ke nodded and wrote down this point carefully.
"People in key positions should be asked to sign confidentiality agreements, and the penalty for liquidated damages should be set higher."
Zhou Shuo was worried and gave a few more instructions before nodding, looking at the five people at the table and asked, "How is it, do you have any questions?"
"By the way, Mr. Zhou." Gao Mo said suddenly as if he was thinking of something: "There is a situation that I want to report to you."
"You said." Zhou Shuo raised his eyebrows. Originally, this was just a polite word, but he didn't expect that Gao Mo, who has always been the most worry-free, actually had something to do.
"That's right, you know that our investment fund itself has the function of hoarding land for real estate companies." Gao Mo thought about it for a while and said carefully: "Since March this year, I have found that there has been a change in the local real estate market, and a large amount of foreign capital has begun to enter the real estate market of Xiucheng."
Gao Mo frowned, as if recalling the specific data, and then said after getting it right: "They are not investing in new real estate projects, but are buying second-hand buildings and store shops in the old city. So far, the overall appreciation of the real estate market has exceeded 5%.
"How big is this money? Where does it come from?" Zhou Shuo was stunned. He was not a relevant government department and he didn't pay attention to these indicators. It's only 1996, and the development of their own real estate markets in various places is not perfect, so how could there be hot money coming to Xiucheng to speculate on real estate!
However, once the property prices rise, it will be harmful to the current Xiucheng City without any benefit. The rapid increase in living costs and rents will greatly hinder the enthusiasm of high-tech talents to move in.
"After investigation, I suspect that it may be the capital in the provincial capital that is operating." Gao Mo said worriedly: "Their scale is very large, at least 100 million or 200 million. Due to the large amount of second-hand housing resources, the cost of our purchase of real estate has also increased a lot."
