Li Chu doesn't understand business models at all. What he talked about with Uncle Wang last night was a complete copy of the shopping mall model that the former richest man in the future would create.
After listening, Grandpa Wu pondered for a while, nodded, and said, "That would require a considerable investment."
"Uncle, you're overthinking it. This doesn't require much investment at all."
"How could that be? Putting aside the demolition costs, just buying the land would cost a lot of money, and after that, building on it would cost a lot more, wouldn't it?"
Li Chu's words surprised both old men, and Uncle Wu even retorted.
"Yes, that's true in theory. But... nowadays, many people don't do it that way; they play with dry fingers dipped in salt."
Buying land does require money, but I can pay in advance. After acquiring the land, I can take out a bank loan, repay the land loan, dig a big pit, and start selling apartments—that is, pre-sales, modeled after the sales model in Hong Kong.

These words left the two old men dumbfounded. No one who could reach their position was stupid; they figured out how it worked after a little thought.
"Xiao Chu, what if we don't let them owe money for the land?"
"Uncle, do you know that there are annual investment attraction targets? It's impossible to expect every company and individual that comes to invest to have all the money in place like those pharmaceutical companies. That's just not realistic."
Li Chu turned his head to look at Uncle Wang and gave a very serious explanation.
"So, according to you, we've taken the wrong path in attracting investment?"
"No, no, no, developing the economy is necessary, and improving people's living standards is also correct. However, this cannot be generalized to every place. Our country is vast, and geographical location is also very important for attracting investment."
Haven't you two noticed that in the past two years, the coastal cities in the east have developed much faster than those in the central and western regions? This is the importance of geographical location; it's convenient here.
Therefore, people in the central and western regions have to rack their brains to complete their missions successfully, which is why they are most easily deceived.
If it's a local area that gets scammed, even if we assume they've paid their dues and won't fall for it again, what if ordinary people are the ones who get scammed? That's the biggest destabilizing factor.
I won't go into detail about how people get scammed, but the kind of scam I described earlier is the easiest to fall for in the current environment.
"How can ordinary people be fooled?" Uncle Wu asked, his brows furrowed.
"Uncle, I heard that they're already studying the issue of buying and selling commercial housing, is that right?"
"That's right. In fact, the housing construction projects funded by various work units are gradually transitioning."
"If we allow the construction and sale of commercial housing in the future, will many people who cannot be allocated housing in family compounds go to buy commercial housing instead?"
"Definitely." Before the two old men could say anything, Li Chu answered himself.
"Just like what I said earlier about selling off-plan properties, the developer pays back the land fee and starts pre-selling. Ordinary people who don't own a house hand over the money they've saved up over most of their lives to the developer. The house is built and delivered smoothly, and that's fine. But what if he takes the money from the pre-sale and runs away?"
“We can set up an engineering supervision system and a fund supervision system.”
Li Chu didn't say anything, but just grinned at Uncle Wu, a smile full of meaning.
Uncle Wu clearly understood the meaning behind that smile, shook his head and sighed.
If this job is done by humans, there will definitely be loopholes; you can't gamble on human nature.
Rules and regulations can indeed constrain certain behaviors of an individual, but you cannot assume that everyone will abide by them simply because they exist.
The two old men fell silent, walking forward with their hands behind their backs without saying a word. Li Chu lagged behind by two steps, quietly teasing the little stinky baby in his arms.
He was happy to hear Choubao call him grandpa, even though his pronunciation wasn't accurate and it was a bit disjointed. But every time he heard it, his heart would involuntarily tremble. That was the touching feeling brought about by the bloodline inheritance.
After walking in the woods for a while, the two old men turned around and walked back, still without saying a word on the way back.
Back in the courtyard, Aunt Wang immediately noticed that the old man's mood was a bit off. She then looked at her nephew who was following behind, her eyes full of questions.
Li Chu smiled and shook his head, indicating that Aunt Wang was fine and there was nothing to worry about.
Wang Yueyue, who kept saying she didn't want to eat breakfast and just wanted to sleep, was slapped twice on the bottom by Aunt Wang when she came upstairs. Then she obediently followed behind and came downstairs without daring to say a word. She looked extremely well-behaved.
"Huh? Li Chu, the shirt you wore when you came over yesterday? How come I didn't know you had a polyester shirt?"
Sitting at the dinner table, Ding Qiunan looked her husband up and down and asked with some doubt.
Aside from the military uniforms, everything Li Chu wore was handmade by her. So it was easy to tell at a glance whether it had any or not. She didn't remember ever making any polyester shirts; all the shirts at home were cotton.
"Don't even mention it. I had just taken this little guy out of the house this morning when he came and peed on me. This shirt was taken from me by my aunt."
Li Chu didn't even look up. He took a spoon, scooped up some white rice porridge, blew on it to cool it down, and fed it to Chou Bao.
Little Chou Bao knew what he had just done. When he heard Grandpa mention it again, he sat up straight, looked at Grandma, pointed his little finger at Grandpa's stomach, and kept making "oh oh" noises, as if he was showing off.
"Our little rascal just peed all over Grandpa."
"oh oh……"
"Okay, good, my little rascal is great. Eat your food, we'll talk after you finish."
"oh oh……"
That adorable little face made Wang Yueyue, who was still incredibly sleepy, burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Her smile startled the child, who fell silent and stared blankly at her.
"Eat your food, what are you grinning about? I've been putting you through the wringer with this kid at night, and she's either wetting the bed or wetting herself. You're such a good mother. It's a good thing you grew up with your in-laws, otherwise you would have been sent back to your parents' home countless times." Aunt Wang tapped her granddaughter on the head with a stick.
"Oh, it hurts, Grandma."
"Giggle giggle..." Now it was the little rascal's turn to laugh. The way his mother was holding her head made the little guy extremely happy.
Being laughed at by her own son, Wang Yueyue made a face at him indignantly, which made the little rascal laugh even louder.
As soon as they finished eating, Uncle Wu came over and pulled Uncle Wang and the other man into the study.
