Yan Xiaonan has finally started to establish a real estate company. Although it is registered in Hong Kong, all of its business is in Beijing.
It's also possible that the business will expand to Shanghai, after all, Yan Xiaonan has bought quite a few houses in Shanghai.
Yan Aidang went to the barbershop with a smug look and gave himself a "makeover". When he came out, he looked like a dashing young master again.
Yan Xiaonan nodded in satisfaction when she saw Yan Aidang coming over. Finally, she had time to tidy herself up.
“Brother Aidang, we’ve discussed it. The securities company will officially open after the New Year. Once the securities company opens, Brother Aidang can go and build residential buildings.”
Yan Aidang looked at the plan given by Yan Xiaonan and felt very happy. Building a 21-story building is fantastic.
The eighteen-story building in the north and south gave him a lot of experience, and he is no longer worried about building high-rise buildings.
Although it was a challenge, he was confident because he had found a strong backer: an architect who had participated in the construction of the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai.
Yan Aidang put in a lot of effort for this architect, but the architect was only willing to be a technical consultant.
It's not difficult to build high-rise buildings; the key is to lay a solid foundation. However, laying a foundation isn't just about making it deep; there's a certain amount of knowledge involved.
Yan Aidang flew to Shanghai overnight, found his technical advisor, and showed him the plan.
The technical consultant did not become complacent because of his achievements. Instead, he discussed the matter very carefully with Yan Aidang.
He was very surprised to discover that the land Yan Xiaonan built the house on was not a land use right, but a land ownership right.
When the government expropriates the land in the future, not only will the residents benefit greatly, but Yan Xiaonan will also make a fortune.
"Can I reserve one, no, two, no, three houses here?"
The tech consultant not only had to buy things for himself, but also for his parents and his sister.
“Of course, but this planning and design… ” Yan Aidang pushed the plan forward.
"I'll go to my workplace and let them know. I'll go back to Beijing with you tomorrow, or this afternoon," the technical consultant said decisively.
"By the way, you'd better reserve a few of the best units; I reckon some people in my unit might want them too," the technical consultant said earnestly.
A week later, the blueprints were ready, but they still had to go to the site to conduct a feasibility study.
The blueprint was revised again and again, and Bei Nan's teeth ached from looking at it. His restaurant didn't seem to be this complicated.
Yan Ai-dang scoffed at the sourness in the teeth of people from the north and south, saying, "How can an eighteen-story building compare to a twenty-one-story building?"
Bei Nan remained silent, but also enthusiastically helped with the "three connections and one leveling" process, which means that before construction could begin, the site needed to be leveled, with water, electricity, and roads connected.
After obtaining these industry certifications, the technical consultants began surveying and setting out, including topographic mapping and boundary planning.
In order to start construction as soon as possible after the New Year, Ye Wen hurriedly went to apply for construction permits, building planning permits and other documents.
Then, they prepared to start bidding after the New Year. However, bidding required a price budget, so Yan Xiaonan specifically sought out a cost consultant to prepare a construction drawing budget.
You wouldn't believe it until you did the math; it was quite a shock. It turns out their accounting was inaccurate.
According to the construction drawings, the building should have a floor area of over 13,000 square meters. Based on a construction cost of 2,000 yuan per square meter, the total cost should be less than 30 million yuan.
Adding in the costs from planning, fire protection, energy conservation, and other departments, it comes to about eight million.
The planned drawings still need to be submitted to the review center for approval; giving them one million is considered a cost-effective option.
Yan Xiaonan even gave Uncle Wen ten million yuan for hospitality expenses, as he still had to communicate with various departments along the way.
If things don't go smoothly, and some department finds fault with you, and you fail all the inspections, then you'll be in trouble.
Just like that 18-story hotel in the north and south, they didn't use any connections. The raft was completed, but then construction was stalled for half a year.
In the end, it took a lot of money and connections to finally get the project completed.
When the final budget was released, it was estimated that the building would cost a maximum of 50 million.
But if it's sold, it could fetch at least 60 million, which would be a profit of 10 million.
Bei Nan lamented that his building, including the land, cost nearly 200 million yuan, while Nan Nan only wanted 50 million yuan.
That's because Yan Xiaonan's land plots were all financed with bank loans, with zero down payment and zero interest – it was incredibly profitable.
All preparations are complete; they just need to wait until after the New Year to start bidding for construction companies.
Then, after signing the contract according to the procedure, the residential building can begin construction. Once the pre-sale contract is obtained, the house can be sold even before it is fully built.
Yan Xiaonan was finally able to rest for two days, but Xuemei didn't let her off the hook:
“Nan Nan, you’ve been so busy lately. I’ve been wanting to buy a courtyard house, but I don’t know where to start, and Dongnan isn’t willing to lower himself to ask for help.”
Yan Xiaonan has been running around the market lately, so she knows where to buy courtyard houses.
The price has increased many times over: "Sister-in-law, I know a place where courtyard houses are for sale, in the area where Chen'er and I lived."
Xuemei's eyes lit up. The apartment allocated by the southeast unit was also close to there. If she could buy a courtyard house, it would be very convenient to manage that house.
"How big? How much does it cost?" Xuemei asked, showing great interest.
"It's similar to Chen'er's courtyard house with two wells, but that courtyard house has a better location, occupying a small alley," Yan Xiaonan said.
"What does it mean to occupy a small alley?" Xuemei didn't understand.
"The main gate of that courtyard house faces the alley, which is a maze of alleys with many people running around."
The old homeowner felt the feng shui was bad, so he blocked off the alleyway in front of the house and then bought it.
From now on, people won't be able to sneak into his house when they go through the alleys anymore. Oh, and they've installed a big iron gate at the entrance of their alley.
This alley is quite long; if parked straight, it could easily accommodate six or seven cars. It's a pity it's not wide enough, otherwise you could make a U-turn.
Xuemei's eyes lit up: "Nannan, take me there, I want to see it, and if it's good, I'll take it."
“Okay, I’ll call and ask if the landlord is free today. You should call your brother too.” Yan Xiaonan was glad she had the landlord’s phone number.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. An hour later, Yan Xiaonan drove Xuemei and Dongnan to the homeowner's house.
Southeast got off the bus first and then looked around. It was very nice. The front street was Nannan's courtyard house.
Back street is Yan Aidang's two-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house), and to the west is his own company's welfare housing, all in one place.
The homeowner was already waiting at the entrance of the alley, directing Yan Xiaonan to back the car into the alley. There was no other way; if he didn't back it in, he would have to back it out later.
