Compared to other parts of Shanghai, land here is much more expensive, mainly because Xuhui District is currently the center of Shanghai.
In 1993, Shanghai was not as large as it is now. Apart from a few plots of land near Xuhui District, the surrounding area consisted of counties belonging to Shanghai.
It wasn't until later, when changes were made, that they were all incorporated into Shanghai, becoming a district under Shanghai's jurisdiction.
The real estate company that Sun Lixin had contacted last night patiently took him to visit the shops.
Looking from the central area to the outskirts of Xuhui District, Sun Lixin was also taken aback by the land speculation in Shanghai.
The starting price for the tour that Sun Lixin and his group visited last night was 38,000 yuan. No wonder that shop cost five million yuan.
Even those slightly closer to the outer perimeter start at 12,000.
Only the outermost area might cost around 8,000, which is still acceptable to Sun Lixin. However, it is already quite far from the city center, and the usual passing customers will not stop here.
For example, Bianyifang, owned by Sun Lixin, requires at least 700 square meters of space, and just one of the outer shops costs close to five million yuan.
Lin Yifeng looked at the shops here and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
It's still 8,000 now, but in 20 years, every shop here will start at 80,000.
When Sun Lixin and his group want to buy land, let alone five million, they might not even be able to manage to do so for fifty million.
Of course, the most important thing is that this land is in a situation where there is a price but no market for it. Let alone wanting to buy the land, you have to see if anyone is selling it.
Lin Yifeng had no interest in these plots of land.
The main problem is that this place isn't worth buying. He can't open a shop here anyway. He can probably rent it out for a million a year later. There's really no need to spend money to buy a piece of land directly.
Unless Lin Yifeng wants to build a Pang Donglai restaurant in Shanghai.
However, compared to this, Lin Yifeng has a better option.
After a busy day, Sun Lixin finally determined the locations of the two shops.
It's located on a street corner near a shop. The advantage is that there's a parking lot in the backyard, but the disadvantage is that after parking, there's still a distance to the front entrance.
The other shop is located on the side of the street, spanning two floors and 700 square meters, but its downside is that it has no parking.
After spending another whole day running around, Sun Lixin finally decided on these two shops and called Liu Wei to ask for his opinion.
The real estate salesman couldn't stop smiling when he saw such a big deal.
Lin Yifeng looked at him, pondered for a moment, and a bold idea emerged in his mind.
How about I buy some land to play around with?
However, Lin Yifeng wasn't looking to buy a place like Xuhui District; he was planning to target several other undeveloped areas in Shanghai.
As long as the area develops, the housing prices there will skyrocket. As long as Lin Yifeng chooses the right location, he won't have to worry about finding a place to open Mixue Ice Cream and Wallace in Shanghai in the future.
"Hey bro, any other shops you'd recommend?"
"It's about 80 to 90 square meters."
Lin Yifeng offered the salesman a cigarette.
This almost made the salesman roll his eyes in excitement.
He was already feeling incredibly grateful to his ancestors for being able to land two big jobs in a single day.
Just as I was about to show Lin Yifeng the list of Xuhui District, Lin Yifeng spoke up again.
"I want places like Baoshan County, Chuansha County, and Minhang County."
This made the salesman feel like he had hit rock bottom.
He looked at Lin Yifeng with an incredulous expression and asked him repeatedly.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Buy these rural areas?"
"this……"
Lin Yifeng smiled and nodded.
In 1993, these places were all suburbs of Shanghai, but they will become key areas in the future.
Especially the Chuansha County and Minhang District mentioned by Lin Yifeng.
The latter will become the famous Minhang District in the future, which is a wealthy area with all kinds of high-end residential communities.
The former, Chuansha County, has a nationally renowned name: Pudong New Area.
It can be said that nearly one-third of Shanghai's GDP is generated here, and in 1993, these two places were still the suburbs of Shanghai.
It can be said that apart from some common buildings and the county town, there are rice paddies, vegetable fields, fish ponds and everything else, but there are no high-value buildings.
The salesman hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should refuse Lin Yifeng.
Right now, I have a big order from Sun Lixin to take care of, so I really don't have the energy to help Lin Yifeng look after these rural suburbs.
But after a moment's thought, the salesman realized that Lin Yifeng seemed to be getting along very well with Sun Lixin, and considering the large order Sun Lixin had given him, he had to help Lin Yifeng with this request.
Consider it an additional service.
The salesman gritted his teeth and pulled out a business card from his pocket.
"Hello, Mr. Lin."
"This is my business card. I don't have time to help you right now."
"How about this, I'll ask around for you tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I'll take you to see some places. If you find something suitable, we can discuss it further."
Lin Yifeng picked up the business card and looked at it.
The man had a rare surname, Wei Guochang.
"Alright, thank you for your help, Manager Wei."
After accepting the business card, Lin Yifeng first helped deal with Sun Lixin's affairs.
After running around like crazy that day, Sun Lixin paid a deposit of 50,000 yuan to the salesperson, and planned to pay the full amount within the month to buy one of the shops.
The salesperson beamed with joy upon seeing such a large order.
The commission from this order alone is enough to cover his salary for two or three years of hard work.
