Sangle Headquarters Building, Tianjing City Center, Floor 16.
"CEO Hong, the financial report on the development of West Fourth Loop is out. Please take a look." The secretary placed a document with about ten pages on Hong Weiguo's desk, then turned around and left, gently closing the door.
"Let's see how the estimates are." Hong Weiguo picked up the financial report and looked at it carefully. "West Fourth Loop is located 25 kilometers west of Tianjing City Center. The east is bounded by Bohua Wai Street and Rending Alley. The north is bordered by Nanhe, Xishengmen West Street, and Haiyang District. The west is bordered by Sanwu River and Hongwu Mountain. The south is bordered by Yongsheng Men Xihe Road and Chenganmen, which is connected to East Third Loop. The area is divided into 12 streets and 178 communities. West Fourth Loop covers an area of 74 square kilometers. The sixth census in 2010 showed that the total population of West Fourth Loop is 1.819 million.
"Garden land is 16.67%, forest land is 25.08%, residential and enterprise land is 30.10%, transportation land is 5.46%, water area is 8.51%, and unused land is 14.18%. No arable land. The land proposed to be acquired is mainly residential and unused land. However, the unused land is located in remote areas and not suitable for investment. Therefore, the main direction of investment is mainly in residential areas. "
Looking at the financial statement in his hand, Hong Weiguo tapped the table lightly with his fingers. "The residential area and enterprise land is 30%, which is about 22 square kilometers. Good lord, this is not a small figure."
22 square kilometers didn't look big, but in reality, it was almost impossible to swallow up such a large area. It was an astronomical figure. Even with the Hong Family's financial resources, it was impossible.
Of course, Hong Weiguo didn't have such a big appetite to buy the entire West Fourth Loop. His actual intention was to acquire as much land as possible before the national policy was implemented. Then, he only needed to wait for the land to appreciate, and by then, he would be rich.
Hong Weiguo continued reading. "Among them, the northern part of West Fourth Loop has more land for enterprises and is not suitable for investment. The central area is more prosperous, but the price of the land is higher. The southern area is worse, and the development prospects are worse. "Then, there was a detailed explanation of how much it would cost to acquire the land.
"Looks like this big cake isn't as easy to bite off as I thought." Hong Weiguo rubbed his temples. "The place is too big. Throwing 300 million in would be like throwing away water. It wouldn't cause much of a commotion. But if we invest more, it will affect the company's liquidity. Looks like it's not going to be easy. "
Speaking of which, it wasn't that Hong Weiguo couldn't afford it, but he was, after all, a businessman — spending the least amount of money to earn the most was what he should do. Although there were documents saying that the country planned to develop this place, who knew when it would be developed? With his strength, it wouldn't be a problem for him to raise a few billion, but if he was trapped …
Without liquid funds, the company would not be able to operate smoothly, and it would be extremely easy for it to be in great danger. If the higher-ups were to go crazy again and withdraw the decision to develop this place, then the money would really go down the drain.
"Forget it. Let's invest two or three hundred million to test the waters. Let's get as much benefit as we can. After all, policy changes are too big. We can't get too deep into it." After thinking for a while, Hong Weiguo finally made up his mind. "Let's buy a few pieces of good land first. We'll make further plans based on the situation."
…
While Hong Weiguo was thinking about the development strategy for acquiring land, Hong Dali was squandering to his heart's content.
With just one sentence, all the chefs in the entire Hang Lung Hotel got busy. In just over twenty minutes, 108 main dishes and 54 side dishes were all served, filling up four big tables. Even the most extravagant and luxurious Manchu Han Imperial Feast on Earth paled in comparison to this.
"Xinxin, quickly see if it suits your taste." Hong Dali didn't stand on ceremony and brought Tang Muxin to the front of the dishes. His lackeys had already prepared the bowls and chopsticks for him. Hong Dali picked up a piece of sweet and sour dog treasure pickled vegetable and took a bite. "En, not bad. This is the taste, this is the feeling I want!"
The lobby manager, who was standing at the side, almost fell to the ground. "Oh my God, you asked the chef to make one of all the dishes, but in the end, the first thing we eat is actually Goubao pickled vegetables?!"
While the lobby manager was making a fuss, the nine lackeys were indifferent. They thought to themselves, Look at how shocked you are. One look and I can tell that you haven't seen the market before. Our Young Master spent more than 30 million last night to buy a property just to raise a dog. This is just a meal, what's there to make a fuss about.
Tang Muxin didn't say anything this time. She used her white fingers to gently pinch the chopsticks and picked up a small piece of meat to taste. It was really just a small taste. She didn't forget to comment. "This mildly fragrant conch slice is crispy, tender, fresh, and fragrant. It's a pity that it's a little overcooked, so the taste is a little impure. But to be able to cook it to this extent, it's already not bad."
Hearing her comment, Hong Dali was surprised. "Aye? Xinxin, you have this ability? What exactly is this mildly fragrant conch slice? Quick, tell me! "
Tang Muxin pursed her lips and smiled. That moment of flirtatiousness instantly stunned everyone around. They thought, No wonder she can become Young Master's fiancée. She lives up to her reputation. I'm afraid only a girl like this is worthy of Young Master's status.
Tang Muxin said slowly, "This Light Grains Fragrant Conch Slices is made by cutting off the tail of the Fragrant Conch and slicing it into thin, evenly sized slices. Blanch it in hot water for a while before scooping it out. Blanch the winter bamboo shoots in oil and remove them. Stir fry the garlic and ginger in the pot until fragrant, then add in the Fragrant Grains for a while. Add in the mushroom and shiitake mushroom slices that have been blanched in oil. Pour in a marinade made from broth, monosodium glutamate, sugar, white soy sauce, sesame oil, and wet starch. The snow-white conch slice paired with the dark red fermented conch sauce looks, smells, and tastes great. It's one of the famous dishes passed down from ancient times. Not many people know how to make it. "
He didn't expect that a random hotel he bought would actually have a chef who knew how to make such a famous dish.
Hong Dali naturally wouldn't miss out on such an opportunity. He instantly instructed the lobby manager. "Where's the chef who made this dish? Call him out."
Very quickly, a fat chef walked over and bowed to Hong Dali with difficulty. "Chef Wei Bao greets Young Master."
Wei Bao. Feed. What a good name. Hong Dali sized him up and saw that this person was almost like a meatball. If he stood up straight, he definitely wouldn't be able to see his toes. His face was full of fat, and his eyes were squeezed into a line. Coupled with his lips that were as thick as sausages, he looked quite comical.
Hong Dali held back his laughter and said, "Not bad. Let me ask you, some time ago, I accidentally received the recipes for a few dishes. If I tell you, can you make them?"
