Chapter 616
The fat boy sighed and said:
"I also joined the industry and learned about the market, only then did I realize that the Special Administrative Region had already started developing real estate and commercial housing communities in the 1980s.
We're not far from Shenzhen, and we were still clueless. So many employees were still waiting for housing from their companies, but now things are changing."
Su Miao recalled this memory and said:
"The first commercial housing estate in Shenzhen was probably the Donghu Residential Area, which was built in cooperation with Hong Kong businessmen as a form of compensation trade.
The Shenzhen Municipal Government provided the land and sought financial cooperation from Hong Kong businessmen in building houses, with profits shared by both parties. However, they had learned the Hong Kong city's land finance system completely.
In the past, housing was directly allocated, but now, employers and employees pool funds to build housing, and the future trend is the privatization of commercial housing. "Little Fatty, the economic environment has changed. We must seek change while maintaining stability to avoid falling behind."
The fat guy slapped his thigh and said, "Great! Miaomiao, you know all this so clearly. I treated the leaders of the Construction Committee to many rounds of Maotai and spent a lot of effort to get the information out of them."
Even at home, he lowered his voice cautiously and said, "Back then, construction had just begun in Shenzhen, and we had no money! But the Housing Authority had a heavy burden: we had to build a 20,000-square-meter cadre dormitory building within a year.
They were very worried, but they didn't have the magic to create something out of nothing or turn stone into gold. Finally, a bunch of old men gathered together to think of a solution, and finally decided to make a compromise and go to the side.
In principle, state-owned land cannot be occupied, leased, or sold, so we just cooperated. When we finally signed the contract with the Hong Kong businessman, no one dared to mention the word "real estate." We just signed a compensation trade contract.
Su Miao smiled knowingly. In that era when the aftereffects of the planned economy had not yet completely faded, this "roundabout way to save the country" approach required great courage.
Brother Xiaopang has discussed this matter with his father. Mr. Pan has been in the system for many years and has a better understanding of the things going on inside.
The fat guy expressed some regret for not being able to do something big right away:
"The Shenzhen Stock Exchange is moving at a fast pace. Its development in just one year has surpassed ours in many years. Leaders are envious and are now sending people to learn from it. However, they are still concerned about the degree of policy implementation.
They say they want to learn from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, but they can't copy it completely, fearing they'll get ahead of the curve and not only lose their achievements, but also their official positions."
Su Miao also understood the leaders' thoughts. They needed to consider all aspects of the impact in order to sit in that position.
Su Miao didn't think that just because he had seen a few more years of the future, he could surpass them in vision and cognition.
Economic development is closely linked. If we loosen our grip here, we need to carefully consider whether other sectors should also loosen up. So she said:
"Because Shenzhen is a key development and pilot area, it has its own policy bias. To put it bluntly, it holds a half-get-out-of-jail-free card. As long as it's not something too outrageous and can boost the economy, it will get the green light.
The situation in our city of Nanning is different. The "cross the river by feeling the stones" approach may not be applicable. The decisions made by leaders have far-reaching implications, so a degree of caution is warranted.
She thought that by the time the Interim Regulations on the Grant and Transfer of Land Use Rights were issued in May this year, the situation would begin to change drastically. The higher-ups had given them a shot in the arm, and the lower-ups dared to go ahead and do it.
As they chatted, they talked about Wang Dachui's company.
The little fat man said with a complicated expression:
"In the past six months, he has put all his energy into the new company and handed over the leather factory's affairs to Wu Daqiang. This has helped the leather factory's business stabilize somewhat."
Su Miao held the candied fruit box that Pan's mother gave her, took out some dried red dates and ate them, nodding her head.
"That's great. That way, when he wants to buy shares from you, you can bid on the price. By then, he'll be so tempted by the price that he'll be willing to sell them for whatever money he has."
The fat boy thought for a moment and continued:
"But, putting everything else aside, he's quite capable. I subcontracted two buildings for him to try his hand at, and he did a great job. Now he's eagerly waiting for new projects to come down so he can continue to show his talents.
Do you think...will he not go in the direction we want in the future?"
"He was able to build the leather factory to such a large scale, and some of his other small businesses have always been profitable. Overall, he is not a mediocre person and has a natural talent for business.
He had set his sights on the real estate industry early on. He had a keen sense of smell and invested a large amount of money to win you over with stocks. He was decisive and courageous.
However, boldness must be complemented by carefulness. If we later offer the Zhucheng project as an inducement and he is able to sense it and withdraw as soon as possible, then we can only say that he should make the money, and you have shares in his company, so you will not lose anything.
But if he gets carried away by the market, we can’t blame him.”
Little Fatty pondered for a moment and said, "Miaomiao, you said Yongcheng is more cautious and conservative, but Zhucheng... is taking big steps. Few people can resist this temptation. Now everyone says that's the real hot spot!"
If I hadn't gotten you earlier, I would have been very excited, but... is the situation in Zhucheng really as precarious as you say?"
"After all, they also drew a circle. Shenzhen imitated Hong Kong, and they also imitated Shenzhen, using land as bait to lure the phoenix to build a nest. Unfortunately, this circle and that circle are completely different~"
…
Outside, Pan's father called for dinner. When they returned to the living room, Pan's mother came out of the kitchen with a big bowl of hot lotus root and pork ribs soup. The soup was rich and fragrant.
"Miao Miao, come and try it. We knew you were going back to the village for the reunion dinner, so we cooked lunch early. At least you can have a meal at our house first."
Mother Pan filled a bowl and handed it to Su Miao, her eyes full of anticipation.
Su Miao took the bowl, took a deep breath of the aroma, and then took a sip carefully.
The soup is delicious, the lotus root is soft and sticky, and the fresh aroma of the ribs melts in your mouth.
"It's so delicious!" she exclaimed sincerely.
Mother Pan smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits: "If you like, drink more. Come on, sit down and eat."
At the dinner table, the two families were having a great time.
Su Yuanzheng had to drive soon, so Father Pan couldn't drink with him. They agreed to meet again after returning to Ning County in a few days.
Mother Pan kept picking up food for Su Miao, and soon the food in her bowl piled up like a small mountain;
The fat boy vividly described the interesting things that happened on the construction site, making everyone laugh.
Outside the window, I don’t know whose family has started setting off firecrackers so early. The crackling sounds come one after another, and the smell of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.
Father Pan held up a glass filled with Jianlibao and said, "Come on! If you can't drink alcohol, then let's have some drinks instead and celebrate the New Year in advance!"
Amid the clinking of glasses, Su Miao looked at the brand new calendar on the wall. It was January 26, 1990, the Lunar New Year of the Horse was about to arrive.
She suddenly remembered a sentence she had read in her previous life: In this era, gold is everywhere, it just depends on whether you dare to bend down and pick it up.
