On the last day of the National Day holiday, on the 7th of October, Li Dong brought his family to Beijing.
On the 8th, Li Dong's daughter was one month old.
This time, Li Dong decided to hold the one-month celebration in Beijing as a way to comfort Old Du.
…
When Li Dong's family arrived, Du Anmin, who had just finished his work, took some time out.
When he saw his granddaughter, Du Anmin was so happy that he could not close his mouth.
He only had one daughter, and she was still unmarried at the age of thirty. Du Anmin was anxious when he saw it.
Now, within a year, his daughter was married and his granddaughter was born.
Everything was completed quickly, which made Du Anmin overjoyed.
After playing with the infant for a while, Du Anmin smiled and raised his head to look at Li Dong. "You've already settled down, got married, and had children. When it's time to be calm, you should be calm. "
He had nothing to teach Li Dong, but the Sword Meet at Mount Hua had been a hot topic recently.
Du Anmin knew Li Dong's personality. He was a little worried that this guy would spout nonsense when the time came and make people worry.
Upon hearing that, Li Dong smiled and said, "Dad, am I that unreliable?
It's just a gathering. Why do I care so much?
Actually, the main thing is to find an opportunity to gather.
Recently, everyone has been busy. It's coinciding with the economic recovery. What's the future and which direction should we go …
These things, we can discuss and discuss. Sparks will come out, and it will be beneficial to both of us.
As for what the outside world says, it's full of gunpowder. This is all on the surface. Can you not see through it? "
Du Anmin chuckled. "I see through it. But can we rest assured with you young people?"
The bigger the commotion caused by such a summit, the better.
The more elites there were, the more they could learn from the future economic trends of Hua Xia.
Even the government hoped that this group of people could make some good suggestions for the government.
After all, they were all top-notch business talents. There was naturally a reason why they could succeed.
The scary thing was that this generation of entrepreneurs was too radical, too extreme.
In this regard, compared to the older generation of entrepreneurs, Li Dong's group was not as reassuring.
With a smile on his face, Li Dong shook his head and said, "Dad, you're looking down on us. Just because you're young doesn't mean you're unreliable. It's said that young people are the future of our country. Your words have offended an entire generation … "
"Little brat …"
Du Anmin laughed and scolded, but didn't say anything else.
As the richest man in the world, Li Dong, the leader of the world's top 500 companies, Li Dong knew everything he should know, unless he was pretending not to know.
Since that was the case, there was no need for him to nag and annoy him.
…
Du Anmin didn't care about this anymore. He chatted with Li Dong's parents for a while and had some affection with the child. Because he had something to do, Du Anmin went out again.
And Li Dong didn't stay at the Du house for long. It was fine if he didn't come, but there were a lot of things to do in Beijing.
As for his parents and Shen Qian, Li Dong naturally didn't have to worry about them. Shen Hang specially came over to be a guide and prepared to take them out to see some attractions.
…
In Beijing, since the department store business was withdrawn, the North China branch Far away had moved to Tianjin.
Gome's headquarters had also moved to Shanghai. Far away had very little business in Beijing now.
Of course, very little was only relative.
As the place where Gome rose, there were still many Gome electrical appliances stores in Beijing.
Far away's first city, Far away, was still under construction. Beijing still retained a lot of its organizational structure.
Li Dong went out of the Du house and went to the business district of the CBD.
Far away City. Far away had done a lot of publicity before, and it also caused a lot of movement at that time.
However, with Far away City still not operating, Far away had also weakened its investment in real estate. Now, not many people cared.
When Li Dong arrived, the construction site was still under construction.
When Li Dong came to Beijing to get land, he teamed up with Hsu Shengzhe to get this piece of land.
In the end, the two divided it equally. Longhua was also preparing to build a series of industries here.
Although it was adjacent, Li Dong wasn't worried about anything.
The CBD was originally a business district. The main purpose of Far away and Longhua was to take root here and build their own facade industry.
There wasn't much conflict in commercial real estate. The CBD had this demand.
Far away City was the first to start construction. In Beijing, Li Dong's investment had actually never stopped.
Far away City in other places was in the initial stage, but in Beijing, the progress was not slow.
Now, the foundation had been set, and some of the main buildings had been completed. The general layout of the future could be seen.
The person in charge of the site was the general manager of Dong Yu Real Estate in Beijing.
Although he was called the general manager, in fact, Dong Yu Real Estate only had this project in Beijing. It was more appropriate to call him the project manager.
However, Far away City had a huge investment, and it was the business district of Beijing. The level of the project manager here was also higher than in other places.
The news of the boss's coming had also been received in Beijing.
At this point, Li Dong would not do anything that would cause trouble. After his itinerary was confirmed, he would definitely inform the inspection department.
When Li Dong arrived, he didn't stand on ceremony with the middle-aged man in his forties. He asked directly, "Longhua got the land at the same time as us. Hsu Shengzhe said that they were about to start the completion of the project. They even started to rent and pre-sell it. When can we finish the project here? At first, it was set to be officially put into operation in two years. I got the land in Beijing at the beginning of 2008. In a few months, it will be two years. With the current situation, can it be put into operation? "
The middle-aged man standing next to Li Dong was a little pale. He hurriedly said, "General Manager Li, Longhua's schedule is tighter than ours, so they need to be faster. And they started work earlier than us … "
Li Dong waved his hand and said, "I'm not blaming you. I just want to know, when will your schedule end? Next year, can the first Far away City be put into operation? "
"Yes!"
The middle-aged man in charge quickly said, "Definitely. But General Manager Li, it's definitely not possible at the beginning of the year. If you want to sell it to the public, it's not a problem, even now. Our infrastructure is already done. It's not difficult to pre-sell it. But we are mainly self-managing. You said that we will put it into operation, which means that we will officially open for business. At the very least, we will have to wait until August next year. After all, the completion of the main building, the exterior and interior will take a lot of time … "
"August next year …"
Li Dong pondered for a moment and said, "That means it will take about a year?"
"It will take so long to put it into operation …"
Li Dong thought for a while and said, "In total, it will take nearly three years.
Our speed is still too slow.
Wanda Plaza in Shijingshan has already opened, and they started work not long before us.
Now, Wanda Plaza's schedule is usually within 18 months. No, it's not the schedule, it's the schedule. They can usually open within a year and a half from acquiring the land to opening. Why is there such a big gap here?
If it's other places, I can understand. They don't have enough funds.
Capital has not been short of funds. Isn't it a little too slow? "
Although Li Dong said it calmly, the manager was sweating profusely and quickly explained, "General Manager Li, there is actually a reason for this. First, let's talk about the project bidding. We were not prepared in the early stage. After acquiring the land, it took a while before we started the bidding. By the time the bidding was completed, a few months had passed. Wanda specializes in this. They have detailed plans and arrangements. In fact, most of the time, they have entered the bidding stage before they have acquired the land. The bidding is completed a few days after delisting. As for the construction … "
The manager whispered, "Most of the time, Wanda's construction applications are abnormal. Before the land is acquired, the project drawings are submitted for review. All kinds of review work have a green channel. On our side, we only report after the project is completed. Just the review and approval alone takes a lot of time. As for the design, we are starting from scratch. We have never done a city complex before. The design also took a long time before we finally decided on the final design model. As for Wanda, they follow suit. There is not much difference in the organizational structure of Wanda in different places. It is more convenient to make some changes according to the local conditions … "
The manager didn't say anything else after that.
After all, one was new, and the other was a company with many successful cases.
Wanda's experience, process, and assessment were all faster than Far away.
The fastest they could put into use was 18 months. On average, it took about 20 months. Far away took about 28 months until August next year.
It took more than half a year because it took too much time in these aspects.
When Li Dong heard this, he thought for a while and said, "That is to say, if we build another Far away City, we will have the experience and the speed will be much faster?"
"Yes!" The manager hurriedly said, "This time, from acquiring the land to putting it into operation, it took about two and a half years. If we let our team do it now, the time will be much shorter. I dare not say 18 months, but about 20 months or so. If we speed up the construction period, we can definitely do it! "
Li Dong nodded slightly. Then he saw the manager's face full of anticipation and could not help but laugh. "Why, do you think I want to build a new Far away City now?"
"Ahem …"
The manager was a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly.
However, Li Dong sighed softly. "All these years, Far away City is the only one that has become a real boast.
Back then, the slogan was loud and clear.
There was at least one in each prefecture-level city in the country!
More than 300 Far away cities, a trillion-dollar city complex plan.
However, up until now, not to mention that not one of them has been put into operation, there are actually only ten that are in the process of construction.
More than 300. I dare not think about it now, nor do I want to do it.
After all, we have signed agreements with some shopping malls and directly moved in. Although we have to pay a lot more in rent, we have saved a lot of time.
If we really want to build it ourselves, when will we be able to do it? Moreover, the cost is too high.
Even if we use the land to support the land, and the buildings to support the buildings, the initial investment will not be small.
Far away City is not a local production project. If there were only real estate projects, the group would definitely do their best to do it.
However, there are still many projects that require money now. For the time being, there is no way to take out more funds to invest in this.
However, ten is still too little. It has not even covered all the first-tier cities.
After a while, we will see again.
When the company has more money, we may delineate some cities to invest in the new Far away City. The team here in Capital is the team that is the most familiar with the project.
If we really expand, then your team will definitely play a more important role.
For now, I am talking about the premise that the company has money. If we do not have money, we can put it aside for the time being. "
The manager was flattered that Li Dong could explain so much to him. He quickly said, "Of course. Everything is based on the group's overall situation. However, if the group needs us, we will be on standby! "
Li Dong smiled, put on his safety helmet, and went to the construction site to take a look.
Far away City in Capital is not small. At the beginning, it had a total of 100,000 square meters of land and 500,000 square meters of construction area.
Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe split the land equally. Now, Far away City has more than 250,000 square meters of construction area.
In fact, 250,000 square meters is the minimum. It is normal for real estate companies to exceed it slightly when developing real estate.
Although Far away City did not exceed it too much, the actual construction area was still slightly larger than planned.
When Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe bought this land, they spent 6 billion to buy it.
Including other taxes, the total cost of the two families was slightly more than 3.1 billion.
This price had exceeded the budget at that time. It was the kind that was considered very high.
Including the construction cost, supporting facilities, management fees …
When Far away City is officially completed, the investment will not be less than 5 billion. That is to say, the cost price of Far away City will reach 20,000 per square meter.
In 2008, especially during the financial crisis, this meant that they did not make a single cent.
Not making a profit, in fact, was losing money. After all, you invested so much money, in fact, this money can also produce an increase.
At that time, many real estate companies were still glad that they did not go crazy with Li Dong and continue to fight.
But now, in October 2009, with the economic recovery, the country's economic stimulus policy was implemented.
Now, the property prices in Capital have begun to recover, and it is still growing rapidly.
This has nothing to do with who is in charge. The general trend is there, and it cannot be stopped.
Today, in the CBD, especially the core area of the CBD, which is the area that Li Dong and his team bought.
The average price of office buildings has exceeded 30,000 per square meter. The price of residential buildings and office buildings is similar, but the price of commercial squares is much higher. The average price is probably more than 35,000 per square meter.
Urban complexes, commercial squares, office buildings, and apartment buildings generally have a fixed proportion.
Far away City, the commercial square is about 100,000 square meters, and the office buildings and apartment buildings are 150,000 square meters. As for the public stalls, if they are sold, they are counted as customers. It has little to do with the company.
In other words, if Far away City decides not to keep it and sell it, just this Far Away City can bring in a return of 8 billion.
In less than three years, the return has reached 60%. Even among real estate companies, it is considered high.
Moreover, it is such a large investment. Now, many people in the industry are regretting that they did not continue to fight for it.
There are only so many pieces of land in this business core area. If they miss it, it will be difficult to get another chance.
Moreover, now that the recovery of land prices has increased greatly.
In the beginning, the ten pieces of land that Li Dong bought have basically increased by more than 30%.
Although Li Dong did not make many moves in the real estate industry in the past few years, through the acquisition of land, he has also earned tens of billions. This is also something that no one dared to think of before.
When inspecting the construction site, the manager talked about the land prices. In addition, he asked Li Dong whether Far Away City is completely owned or a mix of renting and selling.
Under normal circumstances, for such a large project, even if it is commercial real estate, the company will choose to sell a part of it, about 30%, to recoup funds.
However, Far Away City has not said this. In the end, the manager even suggested, "General Manager Li, selling about 30% of the land, the recouped funds will be enough for us to invest in the next Far Away City.
Nowadays, almost all companies are doing this.
Part of the funds will be returned through the previous project, and part of the funds will be taken as loans. In fact, if you really want to expand the number of Far Away City, the company does not need to spend too much funds.
If we sell the ten Far Away Cities we are building now according to this ratio, we can support more than ten Far Away Cities.
After all, the current projects are in big cities. In the future, there will be less investment in other places.
As for the loans, the company does not need to worry about it. The annual rent is more than enough.
In this way, in the end, we will spend the money for ten Far Away Cities. After ten years, we will have a hundred city complexes! "
Li Dong glanced at him. After a while, he shook his head and said, "This is the industry's rule. I know. However, others can do it, but Far Away City cannot do it. At least, when I am still in office, I do not want to do it this way. Let others bear the blame. As for me, I want to keep a good reputation and retire peacefully. "
The manager was stunned. These words were really direct!
Li Dong did not care what the manager thought. After looking around, he reminded them to pay attention to safety and left with his men.
…
In Capital, Li Dong mainly looked at Far Away City.
As for Gome, although Suning City was developing fast in Capital, both sides were mainly planning for the villages. There were not many disputes in the big cities.
Li Dong understood briefly and did not go deeper into the research.
After all, this was not his main purpose for coming to Capital.
On the eighth, Li Dong's daughter was one month old.
On this day, no outsiders were invited. Only Li Dong's family and Old Du's family held a banquet to celebrate.
Although no guests were invited, there were still people who came uninvited.
To be able to come uninvited, and to be at Old Du's house, they were obviously not ordinary people.
The few old men seemed to be just strolling around and happened to stroll into the Du's house. It was also as if they just found out that Li Dong was here and that Li Dong's daughter was one month old.
When they found out that Li Dong's daughter was one month old, the old men were a little embarrassed. In the end, they each took out a small gift and gave it to Li Le.
They did not stay for dinner. The old men chatted for a while and left.
After they left, Li Dong could not help but smile. "The old men are really polite."
Du Anmin glanced at him. Li Dong said nonchalantly, "Dad, I know. It's fine. If they don't say anything, I won't get involved. Just treat it as a neighbor coming to congratulate us. Besides, our reputations are bad now. They are just showing their respect. Who would dare to rope us in? "
Du Anmin could not help but laugh. What he said was true.
His and Li Dong's reputations were bad, at least in this circle.
Li Dong was also speaking the truth. He was trying to curry favor and express that he valued them. More importantly, he was telling them not to cause trouble. He probably had no other meaning.
At this thought, Du Anmin could not help but shake his head. In the end, he even said with a smile, "That's good too. It's quiet."
Li Dong and Old Du looked at each other and could not help but laugh.
It was a blessing in disguise. Although they were excluded from this circle, being excluded had its benefits. At least they would not be forced to get involved in such things.
On the contrary, in order to curry favor with these two and stop them from causing trouble, everyone would not make things difficult for them.
This was actually the result that Li Dong had always wanted.
