To avoid any further complications, after the auction, Director Liu brought out the special economic zone spirit advocated by Shenzhen and personally supervised the completion of the subsequent land procedures.
By the time we finished all these formalities, it was already half past five.
Wang Wanshi had a van that looked like an old passenger car, and it looked like a second-hand car. Everyone got in the car.
There are only six people on Wan Feng's side, plus Wang Wanshi and three others, so the van is in danger of falling apart.
"Hey, Mr. Wang, your car won't scatter flowers halfway, right? Why does it seem so scary to me?"
"Pooh, pooh, pooh! That's unlucky."
"What does this have to do with talking? You're a boss who can spend 14 million to buy land, and you're just riding in this shabby car?"
"Just make do with this. I'd like to buy a similar car, but I have to be able to afford one."
It is more than fifty miles from Luohu to Shekou. Wan Feng thinks that it is so leisurely to take a car like this and travel more than fifty miles just to have a meal!
In 1986, Shenzhen’s first five-star foreign-friendly hotel, Nanhai Hotel, was established.
This sail-shaped hotel was one of only five or six five-star hotels in China in the 1980s. The Chairman Suite at the Nanhai Hotel is truly a "Chairman" suite. Since its opening, the Nanhai Hotel has hosted numerous central government leaders, foreign dignitaries, and important guests from home and abroad.
Of course, the Chairman's Suite has nothing to do with Wan Feng and the others. They just came here to eat.
But this meal is not simple. No matter what we eat, the minimum consumption will be at least several hundred yuan.
Wan Feng doesn’t care much about what to eat. The meaning of this meal is not actually about eating.
After everyone got to know each other again at the table, they started eating.
"Brother Wan! You said those Xianggang bosses came as a group to bid, but why don't they look like a group at all? They left without even making any gestures. I really want to see you fighting with them, but alas! I wasted my time and got nothing to see."
"Hey, Brother Wang, you're such a mean person! You're so mean-spirited! You're just waiting to see the show! If we really start a fight, won't the losses be money?"
"Hehe, it's not my money anyway, so I'm not afraid of any trouble if I just watch the fun."
"You're such a mean person! Actually, I'm also quite surprised. If I had known they were so weak, I wouldn't have gone all-in on land number one. I think I could have gotten it for 18 million, but I spent an extra 2 million."
"In fact, given the strength of the other five companies, if they had fought hard, we wouldn't have had a chance at all. But I really don't understand why they didn't fight."
Wan Feng was silent for a moment, then turned to Wang Chulong: "Brother Long! Analyze this. At least they fought me for quite some time in Site 6, but they didn't even raise their sign in Site 1. What does that mean?"
Wang Chulong rolled his eyes. "You've already raised the price to 20 million. How are they going to bid? If there were oil or gold mines beneath this land, they'd be able to bid, let alone 20 or 50 million. But it's just a piece of land. If they think it's not worth it, of course they won't play with it. They're not here to compete with you."
Wang Chulong’s explanation was correct. Everyone bidding in the venue at that time had a psychological line in mind: how much profit could they make if they bid within this line?
Once you exceed this line, it is naturally no longer an inevitable option, and when it exceeds too much, it has no value.
Capitalists are like this; they are motivated only when they have a certain profit, and when they have high profits they will not hesitate to start wars and disregard human lives.
But without profit, they won’t even bat an eyelid even if you call them ancestors.
"Brother Long is right. Business is not about fighting. If it's profitable, then do it. If it's not, naturally no one will invest. Brother Wang, you will be a capitalist in the future. You might do a lot of things that are not good for others."
Wang Wanshi grinned, "Brother! I'm treating you now. How dare you bully the host at the table like this?"
"Wouldn't this liven up the atmosphere?"
"This is how we liven up the atmosphere. Come on! Boss Yang! Brothers, have a drink."
After another glass of wine, Wang Wanshi threw a cigarette to the smoker, and the next moment the private room was filled with smoke.
"Brother! Now that we've won the land, how can we maximize its value?"
Wang Wanshi is now going to start planning his land.
"What's so difficult about this? Just build more and sell more, right?"
"According to our calculations, we can only build six buildings on my land, each with ten floors. How can we build more?"
"You're only going to build ten floors? Why not a few more?"
At that time, most residential buildings in Shenzhen were seven or eight stories high, with the most being ten, eleven or twelve stories high. There were almost no higher-rise buildings.
Wang Wanshi blinked a few times: "Do you mean to build a small high-rise building?"
There are a few high-rise buildings in Shenzhen now, but they all seem to be office buildings, not residential buildings. There are really no high-rise residential buildings.
"Even if you don't just build small high-rise buildings, you should at least build two small high-rise buildings. That way, your six buildings will have the area of two ordinary buildings."
"That's what I say, but who would buy a building that tall? Climbing up and down the stairs would be exhausting."
"Of course, high-rise buildings must have elevators. It's not possible without them."
Wang Wanshi began to scratch his head. Install an elevator?
"Will this work?"
Wan Feng is not quite sure whether the high-rise buildings can be sold now, but building fourteen or fifteen floors should not be a big problem.
In Shenzhen, you can just build a building and sell it now, so there seems to be nothing to worry about.
"So what do you think my six buildings should look like?"
"Ah! You went out to buy land without even having the slightest idea of what kind of building to build?"
"We had never worked in construction before, but we came here because we heard that building buildings could make money."
The nature of Shenzhen people at that time was that they would jump on any project they heard could make money, regardless of whether they understood it or not.
Just do it first.
What Wang Wanshi said was true. The predecessor of Wanke was engaged in trade and had no involvement in real estate. It was only after it engaged in real estate that it gradually cut off other projects.
"You'd have to ask Brother Long about that. He's the only one among us in Shenzhen who has worked in construction. Brother Yu has also built buildings, but that was in our area, and he might not be used to the local environment yet."
Wang Chulong introduced some residential buildings in Shenzhen that he had worked on or seen.
Wan Feng also listened carefully. From the architectural layout to the style, it was completely the trend of the 1980s, with nothing new.
From Wang Chulong's narration, Wan Feng realized that most of the residential buildings in Shenzhen were not even as high-end as the Dongshan community built according to his suggestions.
Take Dongxiao Garden, for example, which will be delivered next year. It is not yet a gated community.
Wan Feng probably already has a building model in his mind for these two plots of land.
