Before this, Yang Yi had done some investigations and careful plans. However, Yang Yi had no experience and ability in the real estate industry. If he wanted to get his target land, he still needed the help of Lanzhou Kai, a real estate tycoon.
In terms of business, although Lanzhou Kai was happy to help Yang Yi, the amount involved was too large. He needed to use nearly 800 million yuan in the initial stage. Obviously, this was not a small favor. Yang Yi also needed to offer the corresponding cooperation conditions.
"I still have 34% of the shares in the Sahara Online Mall. If I want to sell, you have the priority to buy within five years. Also, if I don't make a move within five years, I will sell you 4% of the shares at 80% of the market price at that time." Yang Yi's conditions were like an illusion.
However, Lanzhou Kai's eyes lit up. He understood that the Sahara Online Mall was now a hot steamed bun. After more than a year of development, the market value had soared to almost 8 billion yuan. After tonight's Double's Eleven, the overall market value could increase by a lot!
Before it was listed, Sahara was already a miracle. It was also the most cost-effective investment he had ever made.
His investment advisor also analyzed with him that if Sahara was listed, then the 15% shares in his hands could definitely be sold at a sky-high price. If he really wanted to sell, it was not impossible to make a net profit of several times the amount!
However, Lanzhou Kai was certainly reluctant to sell. Now, Yang Yi and Fu Jun were also holding on to the shares in their hands. They would not let go until it was listed, so Lanzhou Kai had no way to get more.
Now, Yang Yi's condition really scratched Lanzhou Kai's itch. Of course, five years was still a long time. However, Lanzhou Kai felt that it was worth his help if he counted the favor of Yang Yi for pulling him into this!
"Why do you want to sell the shares of Sahara?" However, Yang Yi's words also made Lanzhou Kai's heart beat faster. He asked puzzledly, "Is there any change in Sahara?"
"Of course not. I just need to raise funds to build the world's largest and most luxurious amusement park for my daughter!" Yang Yi shook his head with a wry smile. He didn't try to hide it. He told her that he had invested so much for his daughter's amusement park.
This made Lanzhou Kai a little speechless. He couldn't help but shake his head and click his tongue. "You started from scratch and earned so much in just a few years. In the end, you're telling me that you're just earning money to build a paradise for your daughter. I think all the rich people in the world would be ashamed to death!"
Without going too far, Lanzhou Kai solemnly began to talk to Yang Yi about the commercial land they wanted.
It was slightly different from his previous life. In this world, although the land in China was not permanently held by private individuals, it was still valid for 300 years, which was similar to a permanent holding.
"Jiangnan's Jinling City's Wucheng County. There's a piece of land that the developer ran away with. No one has been interested in it for more than a decade. I want to take it down." Yang Yi spread out the map of Jinling City's Wucheng County and said to Lanzhou Kai, "You should be familiar with Jinling City. I've checked. You've also taken a few pieces of land there. There are three residential areas."
Lanzhou Kai looked at the place Yang Yi was pointing at and couldn't help but look surprised.
"Why here?" Lanzhou Kai looked at Yang Yi in surprise. "Although this piece of land has been quiet for more than a decade, it's still very famous in Jiangnan's real estate industry."
To be exact, it was a legend!
In the 1970s, Wucheng County was considered a small industrial city. Like other coastal cities, it had developed industries, especially the plastic industry and the shoe industry. At that time, there were a few state-owned shoe factories that could be considered the leading shoe industry in Jiangnan.
However, Wucheng County's terrain wasn't as flat as other cities. It had a hilly terrain. Compared to other cities in Jinling City, it had more mountains and rivers. It had a huge disadvantage in terms of transportation.
As the leaders of Wucheng County's government were promoted and retired, the new leaders were eager to overturn the previous leaders' achievements and establish their own authority. The development of Wucheng County's shoe industry gradually slowed down. In addition to the poor geographical conditions, many factories moved to more suitable places.
At the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, Wucheng County seemed to have changed completely. However, the withdrawal of the shoe factories and the plastic industry wasn't a bad thing for Wucheng County. Although the economic development slowed down, there was less pollution. Gradually, the green mountains, clear water, blue sky, and white clouds were restored.
The piece of land that Yang Yi was talking about was the territory of several state-owned shoe factories. At that time, the factories had their own dormitory area, primary school for workers' children, and even a hospital.
"The entire piece of land covers an area of nearly 700,000 square meters!" Lanzhou Kai said as he recalled.
"To be exact, it's 750,000 square meters, or 1,125 mu." Yang Yi calmly gave the accurate data. It seemed that he had indeed put in a lot of effort.
This piece of land was very big, but it was only compared to the real estate used to build houses. It was not enough to build an amusement park. However, Yang Yi was also eyeing an island across the water from this piece of land. However, he did not have the capital to take over this island yet.
"Back then, in order to take over this piece of land, Lianhua Real Estate spent a lot of effort to bribe the leaders of Wucheng County and even Jinling City. In the end, just when they spent money to move the original residents away, those leaders were exposed …" Lanzhou Kai lamented.
How much capital did Lianhua Real Estate have back then? However, they were implicated. The boss was arrested and started to collapse. The real estate development of that piece of land also came to a halt.
However, the legend that Lanzhou Kai spoke of was far more than that!
At the end of the 90s, the new leaders of Wucheng County were deceived by a fake Hong Kong businessman. They sold the land of the bankrupt Lianhua Real Estate to the other party and even actively helped him apply for a bank loan. In the end, the other party got the loan and ran away, never to be heard from again!
The new leaders were all stripped of their official titles, but they also left behind a mess and made Wucheng County the laughing stock of the whole country. This was also why the previous leaders of Wucheng County were unwilling to mention it. Then, as the development of the other side of the county was in full swing, this remote scar was gradually covered by the dust of history.
"If you want to take this piece of land, if you don't mind the saying that whoever touches it will be unlucky, this piece of land is also a good choice!" After Lanzhou Kai finished the story, he calmly analyzed, "At least, no one is interested in it now, so it won't cost too much to buy it. The problem is, even if it's not expensive, it's still more than 1,000 mu of land. Do you have enough cash?"
"I prepared eight hundred million. If it's not enough, I'll add more depending on the situation." Yang Yi said firmly, "I have to take this piece of land, and I have to take it in one piece."
"Eight hundred million!" Lanzhou Kai looked at Yang Yi with some surprise. He didn't know that Yang Yi sold China's Facebook, but he didn't ask in detail about Yang Yi's source of funds. He only pondered for a moment and said, "Eight hundred million shouldn't be a problem, but you might have to negotiate with the local government."
Lanzhou Kai felt like he was missing some information about this piece of land, like there was a secret behind it, but he couldn't remember it at the moment.
However, Lanzhou Kai didn't have time to think about it, because in Yang Cheng, Fu Jun had just finished inspecting the employees of Sahara Online Mall who were anxiously waiting for the midnight battle. His secretary was in the conference room adjusting the remote conference equipment for him and the other executives.
"We'll talk later, let's watch Singles' Day first," Yang Yi said to Lanzhou Kai as he turned on the camera and sound.
