Chapter 129 Shatin Ancient City

Most of the Taoist temple covers the thousand-year-old apricot in the yard. There are incense altars, incense towers, and guarding Taoist priests sitting in the yard. The chess courtyard is in the side hall on the west side hall. There is a side room on both sides of the side hall. The clay sculptures are no longer available. In the empty hall, there are twenty or thirty chess tables. There are no heating facilities and the dampness is biting cold. Zhou Fu entered the wing room and saw Zhang Ke, Xu Hongbo, and Xu Si around the table. The table spreads a map. Zhang Ke shook his head and said, "From Danjing Lane east to here, it accounts for almost one-third of Shatian. According to your idea, at least one billion budgets must be made. Do you think the city can afford so much money? You can't mention this plan. When you mention it, my father and Tang Xueqian are the first to jump out and kill this plan."

Xu Hongbo said: "This area includes representative ancient buildings and some key buildings in Haizhou. It is very representative. If this area lacks a corner, it is all a mistake in history."

Zhang Ke smiled and said, "What's the use of telling me this? If you tell Tang Xueqian, Tang Xueqian will definitely tell you, and he will not correct his mistakes."

Zhou Fu leaned over and asked what he was doing. A hand-drawn map was spread out on the table. Zhang Ke pressed his fingers on the place and wrote Qingyang Taoist Temple. He was wondering: What should I do when I have nothing to do?

Seeing Zhou Fu holding the envelope in his hand, Zhang Ke took it open it and took a look, and handed it to Xu Si: "You send it to them."

Zhou Fu said: "He is planning to buy a pager for the money he raised with Zhou Wenbin, otherwise he will not be able to raise the money for the time being."

"Zhou Wenbin also rushed over to have a free meal?"

“In the front yard.”

"That's right, I'll ask him to take me to the provincial capital tomorrow," Zhang Ke curled his lips and said without comment. "Ericsson will immediately release his Chinese mobile phone. What pager should he buy?"

Zhou Fu smiled and said nothing, thinking to himself: Can the price of a mobile phone be comparable to the price of a mobile phone? Suddenly, a thought flashed: The company will match it? It is said that it is possible for him to match a mobile phone with Jiang Wei, Xu Si, and Liu Minghui. After all, Zhou Wenbin is just a driver. Of course, Zhang Ke wants to make his own convenience, and it is not impossible for Zhou Wenbin to match a mobile phone with generously. Seeing Zhang Ke's eyes staring at the hand-drawn map again, he didn't ask.

This map is detailed enough, and the streets and alleys of Shatin are drawn. Zhou Fu is also a native of Haizhou, so he found that half of the alleys cannot be named.

Zhou Fu read Xu Hongbo's article "The Foundation of the City of Charming Haizhou" and articles on the protection of ancient cities. When he saw the hand-drawn map spread on the table, he knew what they were talking about just now. Some people had speculated before that Xu Hongbo was actually Tang Xueqian's private think tank. It seems that this is indeed the case, otherwise what would they discuss about the municipal budget?

Zhou Fu knew what to listen to in those things, and regretted that he asked more questions just now, smiled, and turned around to walk out.

Zhang Ke said: "Old Zhou is Lao Haizhou, and you can help Teacher Xu come up with ideas." Zhou Fu will not regard himself as a person from the Chengnan District Government now, nor will he report to Song Peiming in every detail.

"What can I come up with?" Zhou Fu smiled and his head came over again.

Xu Hongbo said: "After the rectification of Shugang River system and surrounding rivers, the focus of citizens will quickly shift to Shatin. The commercial area in Qianmen is too crowded and Shatin is too dilapidated. It is a matter for many people to take it for granted to Shatin, but this small core area should be preserved, otherwise Haizhou will not even be called Haizhou. The city lacks financial resources, so this area should be protected first and then cleaned up in the future."

"This is also very difficult. If you don't organize it, this piece is like a piece of rotten dog skin plaster here. Anyone who becomes the mayor must have a strong ability to withstand it. Besides, if it is not successful, then this core area is a big fat piece. Who wouldn't be jealous of it? Why can the Shugang River dredging project be specially handled to make an exception and add this year's budget, and the interests are related. I'm afraid that Tang Xueqian's own strength will not be able to retain this area without development."

Xu Hongbo thought through what Zhang Ke said, so he asked Zhang Ke to try it out, and did not hand over the plan to protect the old city directly to Zhang Zhixing or Tang Xueqian. The local fiscal revenue in Haizhou City in 1994 had just reached 1 billion, so it was impossible for the municipal government to take out 1 billion to implement this controversial plan at once.

Zhang Ke quietly looked at this hand-drawn map and clearly marked every important ancient building in Shatin. In the domestic urban construction concept, there is another idea. Given that the cost of old city renovation is too high, we can start a new location to build a new urban area. However, this idea requires the cooperation of the economic cycle, and few places can complete this plan in the economic tightening cycle. This idea not only requires the real estate industry to be in an upward period, but also requires the bank to provide a large amount of construction funds. This will not only be able to be operated until 1999 years later. It will not be too difficult to renovate the old city of Shatin with the local fiscal revenue of Haizhou.

Zhang Ke gently tapped his mind and said to himself: "If there is an imminent solution, then there is only commercial operation..."

Xu Hongbo narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Ke. The boy was only seventeen years old. He shook his head: "It's not a lot of difficulty," Zhou Fu smacked his lips, and felt it was impossible. He listened to Xu Hongbo's analysis there, "The entire Shatian formed a regular rectangle with a length of two thousand meters from east to west and one thousand meters from north to south. The core area I drew was at the easternmost end of the rectangle, more than one thousand meters away from the front door, and a piece in the middle was a more dilapidated residential area. For the front door, it was an enclave. Unlike the Sifengqiao Food Court next to the front door, who would come here to invest in commercial projects?"

Zhang Ke took a surprise look at Xu Hongbo: "Teacher Xu is also very familiar with commercial real estate?"

"You are only seventeen years old. I'm more than two rounds older than you. I haven't eaten pork or seen pig runs. Basic things, like business districts, I still know the concepts of basic things. According to what you said, the Qianmen business district will only expand here after the Western Conference is demolished and rebuilt and gained a certain development. But by then, all real estate developers will find that demolishing and rebuilding here will gain greater benefits. Will they agree to retain the Dongmen building complex? In fact, before the Western Conference is demolished and rebuilt, before the Qianmen business district has expanded outward, real estate with a little vision will come to grab the Dongmen area, and it will not leave you time to operate at all."

Zhang Ke spread his hands and said, "This is your headache, but you took it out and asked me?"

Xu Hongbo smiled and said, "If you say that, I can't do anything about it. That article was still derived from you. I patted my thighs, and I had no responsibility?"

Zhang Ke smiled without saying anything, and said to Zhou Fu: "I'm so bored that I'm so bored in the afternoon."

"There are people who don't work. I'll go and see if there are any playing cards at Chen Qi's house." Zhou Fu walked out as he said.

After Zhou Fu was sent away, Zhang Ke asked Xu Hongbo: "Are you happy to be a villain?"

"It depends on the type." Xu Hongbo said with a smile.

"The expansion of Qianmen business district outwards must occur in the order you said. It is very difficult to preserve it here," Zhang Ke pointed at the boundary between the core area that Xu Hongbo wanted to preserve and the western film. This is the street market where Zhang Ke set up a street stall with Tang Jing before the New Year, and said, "To attract people, if someone invests in commercial real estate here from the beginning, they can break the deadlock."

"Investing in commercial real estate naturally advances from the edge to the hinterland. Who will bloom from the middle?"

"Not necessarily, the land price next to the front door is high. This is a street market in Sha Tin. Not only is the cheap land price, but there is still a certain amount of people. If the city plans to demolish the western area within one or two years, maybe someone will rush to start here."

Xu Hongbo patted his head and said, "The business district knowledge I know is what Li Mingxue explained to me..."

Zhang Ke smiled. It was not surprising that Xu Hongbo had been with Li Mingxue recently. It seemed that his father intended to pull Xu Hongbo into the shell company again. The shell company was entrusted by the municipal government and existed for the purpose of integrating state-owned assets of Haizhou City. In addition to maintaining the normal operation of the enterprises and performing asset optimization and integration, dealing with the government departments of the original enterprises is also a very tedious task. It is most appropriate to pull Xu Hongbo into it.

Zhang Ke did not pretend to be stupid in front of Xu Hongbo, explaining: "The expansion of the business district should not be rushing to achieve success. Someone should invest in large commercial real estate in the street market, and the western films cannot be quickly connected to the street market. I think the situation will definitely be miserable and will also suppress others' enthusiasm for investing in commercial real estate east of the street market. They will follow the rules and move slowly eastward from the place close to the front door. Before connecting there, no one will have too much interest in the area east of the street market."

"You mean that before the western area develops and matures, we will suppress others from coming to grab the eastern area?" Xu Hongbo thought for a while, "Time still seems to be insufficient..."

"It's enough. As long as the impatient person invests in large commercial real estate online in the street market, it is far from enough to develop mid-to-high-end business districts, but it can also increase a certain flow of people. For us, there is enough space. Danjing Lane close to the street market is in good conditions and the buildings are preserved in good condition. If it can really attract people to invest in large real estate in the street market, Danjing can form a sub-business district with large commercial real estate in the street market. In this way, the land price of Danjing Lane will soar. Before the entire business district matures, the land price of Danjing Lane will form an effective defense line to prevent commercial real estate from continuing to develop to the east. At that time, if you think about how to commercialize the east area, you will have plenty of time. The more mature the commercial operation of the east area, the less likely it is to demolish and rebuild it..."

"The key is to attract people and spread rumors that Xishatian will be demolished soon," Xu Hongbo sighed, "Who will do this?"

"It doesn't seem to matter to me," Zhang Ke spread his hands and smiled. "Mr. Xu even told others that I said this, and no one would believe it."

Xu Hongbo narrowed his eyes, laughed, and said, "I will be this evil man, I will be this evil man."

Zhang Ke felt that Xu Hongbo was laughing stranger than him, and was shocked. He thought that Xu Hongbo had nothing to do with him, so why are you afraid that he would not be able to do anything?

Xu Sizai came over and asked them, "Why are you still slowing down when you say you want to play cards?"

Zhang Ke loved Xu Si very much, so he put away the hand-painted map of Shatin and asked, "Teacher Xu, have you copied this map?"

"I have copied it, I'll take it for you."

"This picture is clear." Zhang Ke was not polite, and carefully folded it. He put it in the bag of his coat. He found any map of Shatin and the annotations of important buildings in Shatin were far less clear than the one hand-painted by Xu Hongbo himself. When he ran to Chen Feirong's yard, Liu Fen handed him the IOU that had signed and stamped the handprints. Zhang Ke was not polite, and put it in the bag together. No one mentioned that he should have written the IOU to Zhou Fu.

Zhang Ke, Xu Hongbo, Zhou Fu, and Zhou Wenbin were sitting in the main hall playing cards. There was still a hint of coldness when they closed the door. Liu Fen told Chen Feirong to come out to pour hot tea for everyone to drive away the cold. When pouring water for Zhang Ke, Chen Feirong still asked Xu Si to help her hand over the cup, as if she was unwilling to come to Zhang Ke. After pouring the water, she said she would go out to help with the work. Today, she prepared some things, Xu Haishan and Xu Wei were all around the table watching the four of them playing cards.

After having supper at Chen Qi's house, Zhang Ke hoped that Xu Haishan would keep him again. Xu Si and Xu Wei slept in the same bed. He could sleep in Xu Wei's bed. Although he couldn't do anything, he had some thoughts about sleeping in the same room. Perhaps in Xu Haishan's view, the seventeen-year-old Zhang Ke was already mature enough. After dinner, he didn't mention staying overnight. Zhang Ke had no choice but to let Zhou Wenbin take him to the city government guesthouse.
