After the beginning of spring, Tianqu City has become a super construction site, and all work is being carried out in an orderly manner under the plan prepared in advance.
The largest construction site is naturally on the International City side. On this land of nearly 15 square kilometers centered on the two sides of the Jian River, relocation work is progressing in full swing. Huge foundation pits are being excavated on some lands that have been allocated for commercial use.
"Dad, look over there. That used to be the reservoir of Tianqu's third water plant. However, during the construction of Tianqu, this reservoir will become an important waterway connecting Jianhe River and Chahe River. The southernmost end of the reservoir is less than 1.6 kilometers away from Jianhe River. At that time, the artificial river dug from Jianhe River will be connected to this reservoir. This waterway is located in the core area of International City, so a huge wetland park will be built around this artificial river, giving the entire International City a healthy 'lung'. Well, it's a bit like New York's Central Park."
"Well, this plan is great! We are short of water in the north, so many northern cities seem lifeless because of the lack of water. Your plan to build such a wetland park in the central area of International City will definitely elevate the style of International City by more than one level."
At this time, Bai Zhengqiang and Yang Jing, the father-in-law and son-in-law, were standing on the roof of a more than 30-story high-rise residential building, overlooking the planned international city.
This is a commercial and residential community near the International City, named Nanyuan Community. It has just been opened for sale not long ago. Because the location of the community is relatively remote, even though the housing price here is only over 7,000 yuan per square meter, there are very few people coming to buy houses.
However, after the construction information of International City was leaked, the community is now crowded with people who want to buy houses, and the housing price has soared from more than 7,000 yuan per square meter to 14,000 yuan in less than half a month! It has doubled!
Everyone knows that once the International City is built, it will inevitably become the new center of Tianqu. The Chinese branches of dozens of multinational giants will be established in the International City. In the future, more multinational giants are bound to set up branches here. The International City will inevitably become the CBD of Tianqu.
The housing prices here will inevitably soar even more dramatically by then.
If I don’t act now, do I have to wait until housing prices soar to their peak before buying?
So, in just less than half a month, all the houses that were originally almost ignored were sold out.
Now Yang Jing and his father-in-law Bai Zhengqiang are standing on the rooftop of the tallest residential building in the community. From here they can see the area currently occupied by the entire International City, so the rooftop of this building has become the best observation point for leaders at all levels who come to inspect.
Bai Zhengqiang came to Tianqu for inspection this time, heading for the International City, so the best observation point was naturally chosen here.
He pointed to the foundation pits that were being excavated and asked, "Looking at the scale of those foundation pits, are they going to build super high-rise buildings?"
"That's right. Dad, there are already 70 international multinational giants that have decided to build branches in Tianqu. Among them, 48 have decided to build branch buildings at their own expense. The remaining 22 giants are now considering whether it is necessary to build branch buildings. This is mainly because the business volume of these multinational giants in China is not very large, so it seems a bit unnecessary for them to build branch buildings."
Bai Zhengqiang nodded and said, "Yes, we also have to consider cost control, right?"
"Hehe, Dad, actually, their words don't count in this matter. According to my estimation, it won't be long before these multinational giants will also build branch buildings here. It's very simple. Others are building branch buildings, but you don't. Is it because you don't have money or for some other reason? They are all the same multinational giants, and no one is worse than the other. They built a branch building more than 200 meters high, but you didn't. You even rented their office building as your office location. This is a bit embarrassing..."
Bai Zhengqiang touched his chin and smiled, "That's true. These multinational giants are also very competitive. An office building represents the face of these giants. If others have a building and you don't, you will definitely be embarrassed."
"That's it. At first, I promised them that I could build an office building for them for free, and these multinational giants were tempted. But later, after Volkswagen said it would finance the construction of the office building, many multinational giants considered building their own office buildings. The reason is very simple. These multinational giants probably thought, I don't need the money to build an office building myself, so why should I ask you to pay for it? If it is built, who will own the building?"
"Haha, Xiao Jing, did you convince the public?"
"Dad, you can't make up stories like that. How could I possibly tell them such a thing? A real man sticks to his words. If I say I'll build an office building for them for free, I'll build it for them for free. I don't care about this little money."
"Yes, you have repeatedly emphasized that this is to help them build an office building for free, but have you ever considered their face? Volkswagen is one of the best automobile companies in the world after all. What's the big deal about you helping them build a branch building for free? Don't they have the money to build an office building themselves? Once Volkswagen has set this precedent, if other multinational giants still think about free office buildings, wouldn't it seem too stingy?" Bai Zhengqiang emphasized the word "free" so that everyone could hear what he meant.
"Hehe, Dad, that's actually what I think. It's better if they see through it themselves, so I don't have to spend money. And just as you guessed, since Volkswagen announced that it would build a 228-meter branch building in Tianqu at its own expense, many multinational giants have announced that they would build their own branch office buildings at their own expense, making it impossible for me to build office buildings for them for free. Alas, it's not easy to be a kind person these days..."
