Chapter 1067 The Real Inside Story
"Maybe, but the cost is too high."
Faced with the question-and-answer mode that Tong Ziqian suddenly started, Zhou Anan shook her head and showed no confidence.
It can be said that this pedestrian street was originally a commercial street built by the Lizhou government. It imitated the wooden structure of the early Republic of China, with a total of two floors, occupying the most prosperous area in the center of Lizhou City.
When it first opened, it was launched with great fanfare, claiming to be the most luxurious commercial street in Wuzhou.
As a result, the louder the thunder, the smaller the raindrops.
Due to planning and management errors, the pedestrian street prospered briefly before becoming deserted.
Except for the food street at the front, the rest of the shop fronts change several times a year. Even the night market shops across the river do much better business than here.
General Manager Tong suddenly brought up this matter. Could it be that the renovation of the pedestrian street is within the other party's authority?
In Zhou Anan's impression, the Lizhou City Government had indeed tried many times to revitalize the pedestrian street, but unfortunately all efforts failed. In the end, after the parking fee model was started, it contributed millions of parking fees to the city government every year.
A commercial street that cost tens of millions of dollars to build in 2000 has finally been reduced to a parking lot. I don’t know whether it is ridiculous or sad.
However, now is the era of the large shopping mall model, and with e-commerce expected to be in full swing in the next few years, it will be more than easy to revitalize this pedestrian street.
Well, it seems that the most prosperous areas of this pedestrian street are all shops under his name.
When she thought of this, Zhou Anan's sadness immediately disappeared.
"Yes, one wrong step at the beginning led to all the wrong steps. Before I took office, the boss said that the failure of the pedestrian street renovation was one of his regrets during his tenure in Lizhou, but he also told me not to force it."
In front of this young brother who knew him well, Tong Ziqian did not hide anything and expressed his original intention for attaching importance to the renovation of this pedestrian street.
In the past few days, he met with several major local real estate developers, but no one was willing to take over this mess, even though Tong Ziqian was willing to help obtain bank loans on behalf of the city government.
These days, the entire Lizhou commercial housing market is in full swing, and no one is willing to wade into this muddy water. Isn't it tempting to make some easy money?
Of course, Tong Ziqian would not tell these to his younger brother.
He was desperate and tried every possible means, but in his network of connections, the only one capable of achieving this goal was this little brother worth tens of billions.
The other party's power is absolutely incomparable to that of him, the director of the secretariat for many years.
"Uncle Zhou probably knows the difficulty of renovating the pedestrian street. Brother Tong, don't worry about it."
Zhou Anan, who was drinking tea, heard the emotion in Tong Chang's words, but she did not respond and took on the task, as it was a thankless job.
So what if he is reborn? The rise and fall of a county or city's commercial street cannot be determined by money alone.
Even though he has a net worth of hundreds of billions, he dare not go against the rules of the market and can only go with the flow.
"I know that too. I was just chatting with you and complaining. I try not to say too much in front of my subordinates, or else no one will listen."
Seeing that the other party did not respond, Tong Ziqian knew that he was being wishful thinking, so he did not say much, so as not to hurt the relationship between them.
"Brother Tong, are you in charge of urban construction or the economy?"
Interrupting this unhappy topic, Zhou Anan asked casually.
Since they are responsible for the renovation of the pedestrian street, these are basically the two areas. For the sake of Wuzhou No. 1, Lizhou No. 2 would not hand over the empty department to General Manager Tong.
"All of them. I'm overwhelmed by all the things. I might as well stay with the boss. At least I don't have to think too much."
Pointing to a strand of white hair beside his ear, Tong Ziqian said with a wry smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Tong, for your dedication to the development of Lizhou."
As he was speaking, Zhou Anan's cell phone, which had been placed aside, rang. When he went to pick it up, he accidentally spilled the water in the teacup onto the newspaper next to him. His eyes fell on it and he was stunned for a moment.
"Brother Tong, I'm going out to answer a phone call."
After looking at the number of the beautiful special assistant, Zhou Anan knew that the other party would not call easily if nothing happened, apologized, walked out of the room and answered the phone.
However, the quick glance at the newspaper earlier made him feel that he had forgotten something.
"Boss, Starbucks has proposed to acquire Qinglan Coffee for 2 billion."
After hearing the report from the beautiful assistant, Zhou Anan pressed her eyebrows and refused directly: "I'm back, is there anything else?"
The other party should be aware of his character and would never call him because of such an indisputable matter.
"WZ Capital reported that Porsche wanted to meet with you."
"It looks like they are preparing to close the net. Please arrange a meeting for me on Thursday night in Hong Kong City."
Zhou Anan's heart beat slightly faster when she knew Porsche was ready, but she set a meeting time two days later.
Things have come to this point, those who shorted can no longer escape, so let the bullets fly for a while longer.
What's more, his bet with the brother of the richest man in Yani will be next Tuesday.
As for the fact that Porsche talked about cooperation with him so easily, Zhou Anan was a little surprised, but he thought he would wait and see, since the initiative was in his hands anyway.
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Anan returned to the box and saw the waitress walking out with a newspaper. She subconsciously shouted, "Wait."
"Hello, sir. What can I do for you?"
Seeing the customer shouting, the waitress asked gently.
"Let me see the newspaper in your hand."
"OK."
Zhou Anan, who felt like she had forgotten something, took the wet newspaper and read the news that took up half of the page, "Jingshan Villa Community Failed to Sell Again." The thoughts in her mind suddenly became clear.
By the way, he just took a quick glance and this brought back memories.
The Jingshan Villa Community is located next to Jingshan Village in the Economic Development Zone, adjacent to the current TV University and the future No. 6 Middle School. It is not even considered a suburb.
However, this villa community was built, with hundreds of villas and townhouses listed in it, but it has been shelved for many years and no one is interested in it.
Even when suburban housing prices rose ten years later and those villas were worth at least tens of thousands of yuan per square meter, they remained idle.
Some people said that this was a house with no property rights that was funded by the village and they could not get a property certificate approved by the municipal bureau; some people said that the developer ran away with the money and the property certificate could not be issued; some people said that the developer offended a big shot and no one dared to accept it.
There are many different opinions, and everyone has his or her own version.
Finally, it was rented out to a logistics company as a warehouse, which was a complete waste of resources.
Whenever Zhou Anan drives past there, she has many questions that remain unanswered to this day.
At this time, there was actually a property auction for the Jingshan Villa Community. Zhou Anan found it a bit strange.
Since it is being auctioned, there must be a channel to obtain the property certificate. Why is it still lying there growing weeds after so many years?
Walking back to the box with the newspaper, Zhou Anan pointed at the news and asked Executive Tong: "Brother Tong, what's going on with this Jingshan Villa Community?"
"You should have heard about this. After the two social cancers of Daqing and Feilong were eradicated, many problems were left behind. This Jingshan Villa Community is the land that Daqing Company forcibly bought. Although three years have passed, local real estate developers know the inside story and dare not take over easily. Real estate developers from other places, however, look down on this land that is not even in the suburbs, so the Jingshan Villa Community has now failed to be sold twice."
After looking at the newspaper, Tong Ziqian smiled and talked about the origin of Jingshan Villa Community. As the executive vice president, he naturally knew the reason.
He also knew that the young billionaire in front of him was just a young boy, but he accidentally became the driving force behind the big event three years ago.
Who would have thought that in just three years, the other party's net worth would change dramatically, it is no exaggeration to say that it is jaw-dropping.
Time is really a magical thing, Tong Ziqian couldn't help but sigh.
"This starting price of 50 million is too high."
Pointing to the number blurred by water, Zhou Anan was speechless about the starting price.
You know, the housing prices in Lizhou city have now climbed to over 10,000, but the housing prices in the suburbs are still very cheap, not to mention the Jingshan Villa Community which is not even considered a suburb.
Based on the 300 villas and townhouses, the unit price is about 160,000. Well, it’s quite cheap when you calculate it this way.
There is no reason why those developers look down on it. There must be other reasons.
"Jingshan Villa cost 80 million to build, and the starting price of 50 million is already very low."
Seeing his younger brother's disbelieving eyes, Tong Ziqian smiled and told him the real inside story.
