327:
There are now three major railway stations in Shanghai.
Shanghai Central Station, Shanghai West Station, Shanghai South Station.
Among them, the Shanghai South Station has not yet been fully put into use, and only some vehicles have been opened for operation. However, with only the part that can be seen now, the South Station has become a very important transportation hub in Shanghai.
The city is developing rapidly, with infrastructure and real estate development taking place everywhere. This unstoppable trend has given ordinary people in the city a way to widen the wealth gap with others: demolition!
In the 1990s, local residents were reluctant to accept relocation. The housing offered as compensation wasn't as conveniently located as their original homes, and many people found it difficult to accept the prospect of moving out of the city center. However, with the improvement of urban transportation, the more comfortable a family of several people would be in a 10-square-meter old public housing complex in the city center, the more spacious a house a little further out. The convenience brought by improved urban transportation has made relocation more acceptable to most residents.
In the past few years when the property market has been booming, some people have even gone from resisting demolition to looking forward to it.
Demolition can make ordinary families rich. The larger the population and the larger the original residential area, the higher the compensation.
Of course, demolition is friendly to some citizens and not so friendly to others.
Those demolition households who ask for as much housing compensation as possible will definitely be rich people in the future. However, some people think that the compensation houses are too remote and are unwilling to take the houses but choose to take the money instead. They probably missed the only chance to get rich in their lives.
The more money you have in your hands, the less you spend. Some social scum specifically target the people who are being evicted, tempting them to take up gambling and drugs. The houses and money as compensation for the demolition come quickly and go away even faster...Stories like this keep happening. Now, wherever there is a little movement, there are people saying that there will be demolition.
The land chosen by Xie Qian was rumored to be demolished a few years ago to build a railway station.
Later, the rumor spread and disappeared. The construction of Shanghai South Station has started again. Such a large transportation hub is still under construction. Will the government build Hongqiao Railway Station in the short term?
The train station and the airport are so close, how could there be such a plan!
The rumors gradually died down, and people nearby didn't believe that their homes could really wait until the demolition. The land and factory buildings of the building materials factory, which had been bankrupt for several years, could not wait until the day of demolition and had to be sold off in batches.
"Xie Shao, this is probably the situation."
When he said this, the people introduced by Xie Qian and Xie Yuping were already standing outside the building materials factory.
The rusty gate was locked with an iron lock, and even the iron lock was covered with thick rust. It was obvious that the gate had not been opened for a long time.
Originally, an old man was arranged to guard the gate, but later even the old man was withdrawn because there was no need. There was really nothing to steal inside. When the building materials factory went bankrupt, the valuable machines and raw materials had been sold long ago. Now there are only dilapidated factory buildings and office buildings with broken windows in the factory. Looking inside through the gaps in the iron gate, the weeds are half a person tall.
The person Xie Yuping introduced to Xie Qian was called Gong Sheng.
Gong Sheng is not a real estate agent like Yao Xiaojia, nor is he a government employee. Gong Sheng is a broker. He is well-informed and specializes in making connections for large transactions.
Xie Qian was interested in this dilapidated factory building. Gong Sheng looked at the elegant young man standing in front of the rusty gate and felt that he looked out of place.
"This piece of land is close to the airport, and the surrounding buildings are limited in height. There are many restrictions on developing a commercial complex. You need to consider this carefully, Mr. Xie."
Not only are there height restrictions, but the airport also causes noise pollution. Commercial buildings cannot be built, and houses cannot be sold. Some people are willing to live near the station, but no one wants to live near the airport. After all, people do not need to fly every day, and living close to the airport is not attractive at all!
If Xie Qian bought this land, Gong Sheng could not think of any other way to make a lot of money unless it really encountered demolition.
Xie Yuping asked a friend to find Gong Sheng, and his friend asked a friend to help, with two or three levels of relationships in between. Gong Sheng only knew that Xie Qian had the ability to buy the land, but he did not know Xie Qian's specific background.
Xie Qian just nodded in response to Gong Sheng's kind reminder:
"I understand. I will think it over carefully."
Xie Qian did not give up this piece of land because of Gong Sheng's reminder!
At this time, Gong Sheng couldn't help but think wildly: Could it be that this Mr. Xie has some inside information?
Xie Qian didn't say anything else. After returning to the hotel, he asked Gong Sheng to find a bunch of information. Gong Sheng initially suspected that Xie Qian had inside information, but when he saw Xie Qian writing and drawing on the map of Magic City, he thought he was overthinking it.
If I knew the inside information, I would buy it without hesitation. Now it seems like I am making the decision myself.
Rich people not only have quirks in their consumption levels, but they are also very gambling when it comes to investments.
Gong Sheng told the person who came to him about the situation. The other party replied that Xie Qian should make the decision himself, so Gong Sheng did not stop him.
The information Xie Qian referred to covered various aspects. He even asked Gong Sheng to help him find the city planning map of Shanghai in the 1980s, using a 5-year standard and comparing it all the way to 2004.
Three days later, Xie Qian looked up from the vast amount of information and made the second investment decision of his life - he wanted to buy this land and the entire old site of the building materials factory!
Xie Qian’s first investment decision in his life was to spend 2,000 yuan to invest in Wen Ying’s temporary stall.
This time, to buy the old site of the building materials factory, Xie Qian would have to spend countless times more than 2,000 yuan. He couldn't help but feel a little dry in the mouth when he made this decision.
If he made the right choice, his and his mother's future life would undoubtedly be better.
If he made the wrong choice, this would become a handle for Xie Jinghu to attack them, mother and son.
Being able to buy land now caught Xie Jinghu off guard. There will never be a second chance like this. Xie Jinghu will seize this investment mistake and question his ability to manage the shares in his own name after he becomes an adult. He may even say that his mother is no longer suitable to keep large amounts of marital property due to her illness. This time, buying land is not just about buying land, but also about buying the future of mother and son. That is why Xie Qian is unusually nervous.
