Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start....
However, the house in Huaguang does not become yours once you buy it.
If you leave Huaguang in the future, I'm sorry, your house will still be yours, but you will have to pay the difference based on the market price at that time.
This can be considered a rogue clause of Huaguang. It is implemented in the contract terms, and the employees are told clearly when they buy a house, so that you don’t say nonsense that you don’t know.
You can't blame Huaguang for making such a rogue clause. You came to Huaguang to buy a house and then ran away. Wouldn't Huaguang be the one who got taken advantage of?
Of course, those who were fired by the company are not included.
This rule is equivalent to tying everyone to Huaguang's car.
Because Shanghai's housing prices will rise at a rocket-like speed starting next year, changing every year.
In 1999, housing prices broke the 1,000 yuan mark. By 2000, housing prices in Shanghai exceeded 2,000 yuan. By 2001, housing prices in Putuo Nanpu had reached 3,800 yuan.
In 2003, the housing prices in Nanpu, Putuo and Hongkou had risen to between 6,000 and 6,500 yuan. In the whole of Shanghai, only Taopu had the cheapest house, which was 3,400 yuan.
By 2005, the housing prices in Shanghai had basically exceeded 10,000 yuan, especially in the first half of 2005, when they rose like wildfire. The highest price in Putuo even rose to 17,000 yuan.
With the rate at which housing prices are rising, how are you going to make up for it?
If Wan Feng had nothing better to do and speculated in real estate in Shanghai until 2005, making billions would have been no problem.
Of course, it's just a thought. If he wants to speculate in real estate, he might as well develop the land he owns into buildings for sale.
He first bought thousands of acres of land in Waigaoqiao, and later asked Tan Sheng to buy nearly another thousand acres of land near Pudong Airport and other places.
He now holds more than one million square meters of land. If all this land is built into commercial buildings, how much can it be sold for?
But such money really means nothing to him.
To put it bluntly, in 1997, the only person in the world who had more money than him was Bill Gates.
In 1995, the not-so-strong CEO had assets of 9.5 billion yuan. By 1996, this figure had risen to 13 billion.
However, in 1997, a US company excluded Buweiying from its position as an Internet supplier, causing Buweiying's stock price to plummet.
Bill Gates is not worth much more than him.
In fact, over the years, Wan Feng's largest source of income still comes from finance, that is, from Russian stocks.
That financial speculation brought him a net income of 4.8 billion euros, plus the group's annual income of 1.18 billion euros over the years.
He is now worth nearly 10 billion US dollars, and this goal will be achieved by the end of this year.
For a rich man like him, it is not challenging to make a little money by speculating in real estate.
Of course, he didn't object to someone like Qiandong just picking up money without doing anything.
It’s still fun to do scientific research.
Tan Sheng came running like a ball.
Wan Feng took a good look at this guy. There was no other change in him except that his belly was swollen. This showed how corrupt he was.
As the director of the foreign affairs department, it is normal for Tan Sheng to eat and drink outside, as public relations requires social engagements.
The group gives him a certain amount of reimbursement quota every year. Wouldn't this guy just eat and drink even when he has no social engagements and then ask the group for reimbursement?
"Tan Sheng, you're incredibly corrupt! You and your wife aren't going to have your three meals a day reimbursed by the group, are you?"
Tan Sheng's face showed no shame: "Boss Wan! Don't worry, the things I reimbursed were all normal social events. If I were to get my family's meals reimbursed by the group, would I still be a human being?"
"Haha! Why do I feel like you're drifting further and further away from being a human being? It doesn't matter if you eat or drink a little, there's a credit limit anyway. If you exceed it, you'll have to pay for it yourself. But you have to complete what needs to be done for me. I won't support a useless person."
Tan Sheng's current annual salary is 30,000, and with bonuses his annual income is around 45,000.
If this guy puts some thought into reimbursement, he can easily make three or five thousand. If he accepts some benefits when doing things outside, his annual income will probably be one hundred thousand or eighty thousand.
Wan Feng didn't spend so much money to let you have fun. As long as some things are harmless, Wan Feng will turn a blind eye.
But don't think that he knows nothing just because he doesn't come to Shanghai several times a year.
Therefore, when it came time to criticize with words, Wan Feng didn't give any face at all.
"Boss Wan! I understand. Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"Take Brother Yang to the residential area to have a look. Brother Yang wants to buy a house. Please give him some advice."
Although Yang Jianguo's house was given by Wan Feng, you cannot tell others that it was a gift. You can only say that it was bought.
Tan Sheng took Yang Jianguo and Yuehui to look at houses.
After they left, Wan Feng, Han Guangjia, Han Meng, He Youliang and Zhang Xian walked into the Huaguang Electronics Building, talking as they walked.
"When the sixth phase of housing here is completed, I'll give each of you a house, so you'll have a place to stay when you come to Shanghai for tourism in the future."
Han Guangjia had a blank expression on his face, and He Youliang smiled without saying a word.
Han Meng couldn't stop talking: "Xiao Wan! How much is this apartment worth in Shanghai?"
He had no idea about houses. He couldn't even remember how much he paid for his house in Dongshan Community.
"Now an 80-square-meter house is only worth tens of thousands of yuan, but in two years it will be worth 100,000 yuan. In five years it will be worth 400,000 yuan, and in eight years it will be worth 1 million yuan."
Han Meng's eyes didn't blink: "Really? Then we buy a house now and keep it in our hands. Isn't this making money without doing anything?"
"If you have some spare money, buying a house in a big city is a good option."
"If you really want to invest, you should go to Bohai Dongdan. Who would come so far?" Zhang Xian interjected.
"That's fine! You can still make money even if you buy land and build a building in Hongya."
Several people discussing real estate walked into the square office building in the middle of the Huaguang Electronics circular building.
Mi Guangnan has been very busy recently, so busy that he even forgot to open the door to the other side.
His team is working on several projects at the same time: sound cards, graphics cards, motherboards, and hard drives.
Anyway, there is no component on the computer that his team does not research.
He himself is leading more than ten people to research laptop computers, and has already succeeded in the research, but it cannot be used commercially because the cost is too high.
Who would spend over 30,000 yuan on a laptop with a decent specs?
What he needs to do now is to reduce the cost of this laptop to at least around 10,000 yuan.
The first method is to wait for the price reduction of the next component cycle, the second is to use mature accessories on the market as much as possible, the third is to carry out high integration of integrated circuits, and the last is to industrialize some independent core components.
If all these can be achieved, Mi Guangnan believes that the cost can be reduced by more than half.
