Lu Fan couldn't resist teasing:
"Uncle, whether I can become the world's richest man depends on how much land you can acquire and how many buildings you can construct in a short period of time!"
Although Lu Fan's last words seemed like a joke, in his view, they were indeed such a simple truth.
Little did they know.
Even though it was just a "joke" of his, it still scared Uncle Lu and his mother half to death.
For houses costing several thousand yuan per square meter, after deducting costs, the remaining profit is already quite substantial.
If it increases tenfold, then this money...
Mother Lu gasped, "Good heavens, I never dared to dream of this!" Uncle Lu's cigarette was almost finished; he shook his hand, took a deep drag, and then...
"Nephew, continue."
Lu's mother stared at her younger brother in disbelief, her eyes wide, and said, "What did he say? You actually believed what he said?"
Although Uncle Lu's heart was pounding like a drum, he glanced at his sister, then at Lu Fan, and slowly nodded:
"Of course I believe it, why wouldn't I?"
"For example, just because someone else has put forward this theory, does that mean I've lost my own brain and can't think for myself?"
“My dear sisters, years ago, the apartments allocated to my eldest and second eldest sisters by their work units cost only a few yuan per square meter. Later on, they cost several hundred yuan per square meter!”
"Up to now? Several thousand years. To be honest, it's not a question of whether you dare to dream or not; people who thought this way a long time ago would have already made their fortunes!"
Uncle Lu used to work in real estate, but due to limited operating costs, he didn't get many jobs.
At most, he could be a small contractor on a construction site.
But this also earned him a lot of money; at least among the family's workers, he was the highest earner.
Of course, the more you earn, the more you spend.
Uncle Lu is the youngest brother, and he spent all his money on entertainment in his younger years, otherwise how come he hasn't saved much money over the years?
Seeing that Lu's third uncle was also in high spirits, Lu's mother stopped saying anything discouraging and simply asked:
"Changing the name of Fan Yue Real Estate Company shouldn't be difficult, right? The difficult part is what to build?"
Even if you've established good relations with the Nanshan municipal government, large-scale municipal projects aren't something you can just take on whenever you want.
Uncle Lu then said, "We can build our own buildings, residential buildings, apartment buildings, and even plazas."
"Isn't Hongxin Plaza the one that Xiao Fan just took over? Don't you think so, Xiao Fan? Is it okay to do it this way?"
Lu Fan laughed:
"There's definitely no problem with that. It's just that my mom was worried about not being able to sell them. These days, are there houses that can't be sold?"
"Putting everything else aside, even if we earn a little less in the future, we can sell the completed residential buildings ourselves and provide housing benefits to our employees."
"Are you worried about not being able to sell them? Not only will they sell, but they'll also increase employee loyalty."
Uncle Lu also said:
"We're not just building, we're developing!"
"The problem is that the land is difficult to develop, and we will definitely have to rely on our connections with the municipal government in this regard."
Lu Fan waved his hand:
"We don't need it for now. Have you forgotten about the soy sauce factory you took over before?" At this, Uncle Lu's eyebrows twitched.
"What, you've been leaving that piece of land unused all this time just for today?"
It turns out that in addition to the factory area, the soy sauce factory also sold a piece of land that was originally allocated to the factory area to Lu Fan.
This land was originally intended for the construction of a factory.
Not designated for construction...
Unfortunately, the Wang family members who took over the soy sauce factory were incompetent. Not only did they fail to expand or add to the factory area, they also lost the entire soy sauce factory.
When Wang Mingtang transferred the soy sauce factory to Lu Fan, he mentioned this piece of land.
Some older people in the factory area know this, but not many of the younger generation do.
Uncle Lu was naturally aware of this; he also knew that Lu Fan had converted the original office building of the soy sauce factory into an assembly line workshop.
This piece of land was never used.
Now he finally understood Lu Fan's plan. Lu Fan had already made arrangements for the future when he first bought the soy sauce factory.
As expected, Lu Fan nodded in agreement:
"Almost. We'd be short of space for hundreds of acres, but the current size of the soy sauce factory is sufficient."
"If this hundred-acre site could be used to build apartment buildings, how many floors couldn't be built? There are no tall buildings or any shelters nearby."
Lu's mother quickly said, "But that area is all factory area, and not many people would want to buy it, right?"
Lu Fan then laughed: 2.6 "Aren't the factory's employees and management human beings?"
"Besides, it's right next to the highway entrance, so transportation is already very convenient, not to mention anything else."
Uncle Lu wasn't thinking about any of that; he was calculating how much he could make if he really built a skyscraper on this land.
With a land area of about 100 acres, you can build about 40 to 50 apartment buildings. If each building is seven or eight stories high, each building will be about 5,000 to 7,000 square meters.
Then there's the rent for the ground-floor shops, or they might as well just sell them off directly.
All things considered, they can earn at least two billion in net profit.
Uncle Lu asked himself honestly, did he really not want to earn those two billion?
