~.-~ Chapter 673 Jinqiao Silver Road

Shanghai was extremely hot in July 2003, and what was even more popular was the housing speculation craze in the coastal areas. At this time, the name of "Wenzhou Real Estate Speculation Group" was already very famous in Shanghai. On this day, Wang Yunqi, chairman of Shanghai Yunhai Group, who was called "the head of the four young masters in Shanghai", held a banquet at the Peace Hotel and hosted a banquet to entertain celebrities in Shanghai. Among them, there were many of the most outstanding bigwigs in this wave of real estate boom.

The emergence of Wenzhou's real estate speculation group has a great demonstration effect on the birth of the domestic real estate market that was fully liberalized in 1998. In the early days of the reform, Wenzhou people entered the door of the market economy with the courage to be the first in the world. After twenty or thirty years of wealth accumulation, the local area has become a large market for domestic wholesale of various export small commodities overseas, occupying the vast majority of the share of some small commodities in the world, and the land of belts. What follows the reputation of "the land of private capital it has controlled is as high as 600 billion yuan!

After the development of Wenzhou businessmen, they took huge sums of money to look for investment opportunities. In the current situation of lack of suitable investment channels in China and the risk of futures investment in the futures market is very high, Wenzhou people have set their sights on the rising domestic real estate market with their unique business acumen. They are most interested in large cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. They often use group methods to enter the local real estate market and buy the entire property they selected as soon as they make moves. The generous moves and the quick decisions make the locals stunned.

Wenzhou people speculate in real estate, and initially used the real estate projects near their doorsteps to test the waters. From 1998 to 2001, Wenzhou's private capital invested a large amount of local real estate speculation, prompting local real estate prices to increase at a rate of 20% per year. The urban housing prices quickly soared from around 2,000 yuan/square meter to more than 7,000 yuan/square meter, allowing Chinese people to experience the ability of Wenzhou's housing speculation group for the first time.

On August 18, 2001, the first Wenzhou housing purchase group had 157 people heading to Shanghai. They bought more than 100 houses in three days, and more than 50 million yuan of cash was poured into the Shanghai real estate market, making Shanghai people, who have always claimed to be the leader in the country, frightened to talk about the Wenzhou housing speculation group. Since then, Wenzhou Capital has entered Hangzhou, Qingdao, Beijing, Shenyang and other cities. Wherever the Wenzhou housing speculation group goes, local housing prices suddenly soared, and real estate developers were simply laughing at the Wenzhou housing speculation group, and the people who bought houses complained about the Wenzhou housing speculation group raising local housing prices. For a time, the "Wenzhou housing speculation group" was discussed. In addition to the title of "nova", it was also called "real estate locust".

The emergence of the Wenzhou real estate speculation group has greatly contributed to the heating of the domestic real estate market. Their group investment strength is indeed extraordinary. However, as the main guests of Wang Yunqi's banquet, they cannot be said to be rich and powerful. In addition to the few behind the scenes of the Wenzhou real estate speculation group, the other people have even more identities. They are all big bosses who contract the road and bridge business in the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

There is a saying in the construction industry that is called "Jinqiao Yin Road Copper House", which means that in the field of engineering construction, road and bridge projects can only make a lot of money compared to ordinary house construction. At this time, the investment in general real estate projects in China will not exceed 100 million yuan, while road and bridge construction generally belongs to large-scale engineering projects invested by the state, and often have a investment scale of billions.

In the eyes of those who are interested, this is much richer. Driven by high profits, many aspects related to approval, land acquisition, construction, bidding, etc. have been targeted and waiting for an opportunity to start. As long as the person who can settle the accounts can come to the conclusion that even if the gift giver often gives hundreds of thousands or millions to get through the joints, as long as he can take on the project and be stupid, the profit earned far exceeds the money he gave out. Many local people are assigned by various political forces, and they can quickly get rich overnight with their relationship.

According to official data, from the start of my country's large-scale infrastructure development and construction in 1997, to 2005, 17 provincial and municipal transportation department leaders were dismissed, and even the directors of the Department of Transportation in the same province were "corruption" after several consecutive terms. The reason for this situation is that the profits in large-scale engineering projects such as roads and bridges were too abundant, which naturally aroused the covetousness of all forces, which also created a group of "red-topped businessmen" who are both officials and people.

Wang Yunqi is now a big shot in Shanghai. He personally hosts a banquet and hosts of the real estate speculation group who have high opinion of themselves and Luqiao Company bosses have to buy some face. Chinese people like to talk about business at the dinner table. After tasting the delicious food of the Peace Hotel, they have been drinking for three rounds. Everyone takes advantage of their drunkenness and speaks very well, and they don’t have much concern when talking about the romantic and romantic relationship.

Among them, a big boss named Lu Leping from the Wenzhou real estate speculation group was deliberately guided by Wang Yunqi. He talked about the new entertainment of the rich now from a woman's good car, which was to appreciate the barbaric excitement of the underground boxing competition. However, compared to his participation in the local black market boxing bet in a certain place in Southeast Asia, the domestic underground boxing competition is still far behind. When he talked about the bloody and thrill of the fight on the spot, he felt excited, and the tension between the local rich man spent a lot of money on the victory and loss, it made people's adrenaline soar, which was really happier than making a lot of money. In the end, it was a pity that he didn't find a suitable boxer at that time, and finally lost to the other party. He was very dissatisfied and wanted to win the game back.

In addition, he also mentioned that he heard that the black market boxing competitions in Europe and the United States are relatively regular, and the bets are higher. It is common to bets of millions of dollars per bet, and they all sound like they yearn for it. Unfortunately, they have no way to enter. Several Luqiao bosses on the side sneered at his favorite of this bloody and perverted sports, but they were quite moved to hear that the bets in the black market boxing competition were so big.

Wang Yunqi interrupted in at the right time and said, "I have participated in this black market boxing competition myself, and I also know some tricks. There is a competition plate given to me by the organizer. If you are interested, you can take a look." So a group of old men did not gather together to watch A-movies, but honestly admired the fight between the fist and the flesh.

This time, Wang Yunqi took the initiative to invite these big bosses of "Jinqiao Yin Road". The big bosses of Wenzhou real estate speculation group just used them to make up the numbers. This is an authentic Hongmen Banquet. The background of these road and bridge bosses is not simple. They can get road and bridge projects invested by the state and draw oil and water from them. They all have special relationships with governments at all levels to get what they want. They were the main force of Zhu Zizong lobbying to deal with the wealthy businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang of Zhongxing Group last time.

But today they not only obediently agreed to go to the banquet of Wang Yunqi, who has a close relationship with Yang Xing, but also put their postures very low, because not long ago, news came from Hong Kong that Zhu Zizong, the former "No. 1 richest man in Shanghai", was sued by the Hong Kong ICAC, believing that he created fake news in the securities market for profit. His Hong Kong company's accounts were fake, and suspected that he instructed fraud.

As a result, Zhu Zizong's wife Hu Meishuang was arrested, but he escaped from the shell and returned to Shanghai. Unfortunately, he thought someone would shelter him, but he was taken away by the central investigation team as soon as he got off the plane. News of his arrest in major economic cases soon came. Even officials with related ones were investigated one after another, and there was a major earthquake in the Shanghai officialdom!

Although there are many different opinions on the reason for Zhu Zizong's arrest, these bosses of the Luqiao Company vaguely felt that they had something to do with him offending the Zhongxing Group. The relationship between Wang Yunqi and Yang Xing, the leader of Zhongxing, is well known. It is said that his business is very caring for Yang Xing. In the turmoil a while ago, Wang Yunqi's pharmaceutical company performed well. Not only did he detect the ** virus first, but he also provided a large number of drugs and medical devices to fight the **, which not only made money but also gained a good reputation.

Now Yunhai Pharmaceutical is a company that the central leader has appointed to visit in Shanghai. Wang Yunqi has become a guest of honor at the Shanghai government. Who dares to provoke him? So when they received an invitation from Wang Yunqi, they rushed over to test his attitude.

Fortunately, Wang Yunqi did not express his dissatisfaction during the meal, and now he invites everyone to watch the black market boxing performance. Although they don’t understand what they sell, they also bit the bullet and agree. Fortunately, the fight on this plate is indeed wonderful, with crises everywhere and thrilling, far from comparable to the flirting and embroidered skills in martial arts movies in the past.

Almost none of the more than ten games ended, and the ending was always with one side falling completely. The only rule was that there was no rule. The boxer did whatever he wanted to survive. Several of the equipment battles were bloody. The losers separated their hands and feet, and even the scene of the head falling to the ground was played without any concealment!

This bloody scene made everyone feel like they were stolen and almost disgusted when they ate. But they had to admit that the foreign black market boxing matches were indeed real, and they were more concerned about the bets between the matches. As expected, the bets were as high as millions of dollars, and the result of winning or losing in a few minutes was tens of millions, which attracted their attention more than fighting.

Most of the Luqiao tycoons made their fortunes through political relations. They all know that Wang Yunqi took the same path as them back then, just a playboy who played antiques. But now they have turned their antique hobbies into a serious business, opening museums and conducting auctions. Now, the auctions of Yunqi Auction House in spring and autumn even the famous international auction houses Sotheby's and Christie's have to admit that they are at a disadvantage in China.

Nowadays, people want to improve their taste when they are rich. They can’t show their uniqueness when buying cars, houses and planes. Many people focus on antiques that have both historical value and cultural charm. However, there are too many fake tricks in this regard, and those who don’t know how to do things are easily deceived, and Wang Yunqi is undoubtedly the authority in this regard.

For example, the rich man on the table found that although Wang Yunqi looked casual, his clothes were all domestic, his elegant and restrained taste was obviously one level higher than their wrists, Armani, and Bailuti.
