Chapter 123 Mayor of Pengcheng Special Zone
Su Jianguo didn't know what the housing prices were in Beijing. After all, it was the capital, so he thought 100,000 yuan should be enough.
Su Wan didn't know much about the housing prices in Beijing, but she planned to buy a house in the second ring road instead of the third ring road.
It is still easy to buy a courtyard house in the Second Ring Road now, but in the future, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy a house in Beijing.
After finalizing the event, Su Wan said, "Aunt Zhao has announced her plans to develop a business in Pengcheng. She wants to start a real estate project. Real estate is the most promising sector in Pengcheng right now. Second brother, don't think about spending too much of your money. If there's an opportunity, we can set up a real estate company."
Su Jianguo opened his mouth wide, "But little sister, have you forgotten that we are just peasants, we don't know how to set up a company, and we don't know how to do real estate!"
"Real estate development, to put it bluntly, is just building houses. We have people like Big Brother who understand real estate, and we can invite masters from the construction industry to take charge. Even with the money, can't we hire talented people?"
"Little sister, you're too naive. These architectural masters all have jobs. How could they possibly take over a private enterprise like ours?"
"Brother, how do you know it won't work if you don't even try?"
Seeing Su Wan's confident look, Su Jianguo felt that he might really be unable to keep up with the times.
He nodded and said, "Then I'll go ask around when I have time to see if there are any architects willing to take on private work."
Su Wancai was not afraid. In the early 1980s, there were already private construction companies in Pengcheng that looked for architectural masters to help draw the design drawings. They would then pay some money to have the master's favorite apprentice supervise the work. It was not a big deal, and there were many people willing to do it.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be someone willing to do it."
After all, she had studied this kind of design in her previous life. Even without the help of a computer, she could draw a complete set of design drawings by herself. It just took some time.
Therefore, Su Wan is now full of confidence.
She had heard that the new houses built in Pengcheng were all targeted at people from Hong Kong Island. She had no experience in this area yet, but that didn't mean she didn't know that many people from Hong Kong Island came to Pengcheng to buy houses in the 1980s.
After all, the hottest trend in the 1980s was for mainland actors to go south to Hong Kong to film movies, and wealthy people in Hong Kong would keep mistresses in Shenzhen. For them, giving a house worth tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan with a Shenzhen household registration to a mistress was not a big deal. On the contrary, they were willing to buy one for the mistress's family.
With this idea in mind, Su Wan worked harder to make money.
Anyway, Chen Yuan won't be back until May, so she took advantage of these few months to get everything done.
After entertaining the guests at Grandma Zhao's house, Su Wan and Zhao Qingci went to Pengcheng together.
With the identity of a foreign guest, Zhao Qingci didn't need to worry about applying for a border pass at all. He just revealed a little information and the county leaders could handle it faster than anyone else.
When they arrived in Pengcheng, they stayed at the Donghu Hotel.
It was a key project of Pengcheng in 1982. It is adjacent to Pengcheng Reservoir and is located in a first-level water source protection area. You can see the beautiful scenery outside at a glance.
When they arrived at Donghu Hotel, the front desk quickly checked them in.
Su Wan originally didn't plan to come, but Zhao Qingci insisted on taking her with him, saying that he would take her with him when he went to the Pengcheng government to discuss matters.
No matter how stupid he was, Su Wan understood what it meant.
Now that Zhao Qingci is a foreign guest and is planning to invest in Pengcheng Special Economic Zone with her husband, the Pengcheng government will definitely pay attention to her.
Her behavior is different even if she just walks in front of the leader.
Sure enough, the next day after checking into the Donghu Hotel, they went to the Pengcheng Government.
Zhao Qingci did not bring Grandma Zhao with him, but asked Aimier and Zhao Yu to take Grandma Zhao to play near the hotel. He took Su Wan, his son, and eldest nephew to the Pengcheng government.
People in the past had to make reservations, but Zhao Qingci didn’t need one.
The mayor of Pengcheng seemed to have received the news of her coming and received her as soon as possible.
This was also the first time that Su Wan came into contact with the leaders of Pengcheng Special Economic Zone two years after his rebirth in the 1980s.
He was a middle-aged man in his fifties, of medium height. He looked a little serious because he always had a stern face. He nodded his chin at them and rarely showed a gentle smile.
"Hello, Comrade Zhao. I am Li Jingye, the mayor of Pengcheng Special Economic Zone."
"Mayor Li, I'm Zhao Qingci."
Zhao Qingci reached out and shook hands with Li Jingye, then sat on the sofa in the mayor's office to drink tea.
The person who came to serve tea was a man. After giving them each a cup of tea, he left.
Li Jingye asked, "Comrade Li, what project do you plan to invest in in the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone?"
"My husband is in the real estate business abroad, and we hope to invest in a related industry in Shenzhen..."
Zhao Qingci and Li Jingye were talking, and Su Wan and the other two sat beside them and listened without interrupting.
Then, I heard them talking about which piece of land they wanted.
Zhao Qingci spoke quickly, "We haven't been to the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone yet, so we're not sure which land we want. If we find it suitable, we'll bid for it."
Land acquisition abroad is done through bidding. Zhao Qingci had just returned to China and was not very familiar with this aspect.
Upon hearing this, Li Jingye said, "There's no need to bid for the land. Pengcheng is now open to the outside world, and we most welcome foreign investors to Pengcheng. If there's a suitable one, we can discuss it."
In 1984, Shenzhen was still under construction, and there was a lack of foreign investment in the special economic zone, so the city attached great importance to foreign guests.
Zhao Qingci nodded. "No need for bidding. When my husband arrives tomorrow, we'll look at it together and then talk to Mayor Li."
"May I ask how much Comrade Zhao and your husband plan to invest?"
Li Jingye also seemed to want to know how much investment they would make in the special zone. After all, this was related to the political achievements of the Pengcheng Special Zone, so he was quite concerned.
"Our initial investment plan is $50 million to $100 million, but it could be higher."
"If you have any questions, you can contact my secretary, Xiao Wang, directly. The Pengcheng Special Economic Zone offers great discounts to foreign guests. You can also contact him if you have any difficulties."
Secretary Xiao Wang immediately handed over his and the mayor's business cards.
Zhao Qingci took the business card, nodded to Li Jingye, and deliberately called out, "Su Wan, please help me exchange my contact information with Secretary Wang."
Su Wan was extremely surprised.
Because she didn't have Zhao Qingci's contact information at all.
But she was not stupid. She immediately took out the hotel's contact information and the contact information of the telephone booth next to Grandma Zhao's house. After exchanging it with Secretary Wang, she repeated her name.
Secretary Wang was a smart guy. He guessed that Su Wan was Zhao Qingci's junior, so he didn't say anything and just smiled as he saw them off.
