Chapter 133 Drawing a Big Pie
Old Jiang had worked in government agencies for so long that he immediately understood what Lin Ruoyan meant. Developers only care about making money, while the local authorities who sell land hope to boost the economy, not just sell it. That's why it's called an industrial new city; they genuinely hope to attract some industries, even if they're taking over industries that Beijing wouldn't consider desirable.
No wonder the guy from District X recommended Lin Ruoyan. This girl sees things from a higher perspective than the older guys present. She's full of foresight. She's not just focused on real estate development and hotel and residential complexes; she understands the need to truly integrate industry, using real estate as a pillar or driving force to create more jobs. Only by meeting these expectations can future efforts truly move forward and gain support.
If one only thinks about making money, doing something once and leaving, buying land low and selling it high, then one is failing the leaders' expectations. The higher-ups probably chose Wang Min not only because of his current business, but also because he is a local, has feelings for the land, and won't mess around and tarnish his reputation.
"Can you explain it more simply? Will you still run the hotel after acquiring the land?" Wang Min asked for advice sincerely. It wasn't that he really didn't understand, but he was more concerned about how to take the first step in this matter.
No matter how bright the future may be, for now this place is still a vast wasteland. Without two or three years, and without an initial investment of tens or even hundreds of millions, there's no way to see results. Besides, developers aren't doing charity; they must be profitable to invest. Even if this is his hometown, he might make less money, but he can't lose money to gain publicity.
"If this place simply follows the example of the three counties to the east and becomes a sleepy town near Beijing's CBD, selling land to build high-rise buildings, with consumption only occurring at night and on weekends, the impact on the local economy will be very limited, and future tax revenue and industry development will be impossible.
Therefore, we must be well prepared from the beginning, have plenty of ammunition in hand, and the vision we draw must be novel and scientific enough. We must have industrial planning and the introduction of high-end people, and give them a certain amount of confidence and expectations, so that we can take the initiative in the subsequent development process.
My suggestion is to hire a renowned domestic and international planning firm to develop a more detailed industrial plan for this plot of land and the surrounding towns. Even if the research concludes that it will take more than ten or twenty years to establish and develop the industry here, there must be concrete evidence to support this plan. This will convince superiors not to rush for quick results and to patiently maintain favorable policies.
Then we will select a well-known overseas architectural design firm to plan the starting area.
This initial development zone itself is an exotic town, modeled after European and American satellite cities. The proposed plan includes a comparison of text and foreign examples. A high-end hotel is just one project within the initial development zone. Supporting facilities such as hospitals, schools, and residential areas are part of the pilot zone within this vast new city's industrial plan to accommodate the influx of population.
The residential sales office isn't just a temporary structure; it's an activity center for the entire community, a permanent planning exhibition hall, a commercial area, and a clubhouse—a large-scale complex. It's not just a supporting service facility for residents, but also a showcase for the entire regional industrial planning."
Lin Ruoyan used the construction techniques of large-scale new towns in the suburbs of the real world and casually mentioned a few points, which refreshed the eyes and ears of those present and made them praise her repeatedly.
Lin Ruoyan drew a big circle on the map, with the center set at the core ring of Beijing. The scope of the big circle enclosed the northernmost international airport of Beijing and the core area of the future Beijing sub-center.
She also drew another dot, which represents the super-large international airport that District X will have in the future.
Their xx new city starting area is located within the big circle, very close to the future international airport, and also very close to a future special economic zone in Hebei Province.
"The target customers I'm talking about are definitely those who already have a permanent residence in the city, other than a villa. They're buying a house to return to their hometown to buy a home for their retirement, or they're considering buying a second home in the beautiful suburbs of Beijing.
Finding a convenient location, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, to build a villa has been a common practice throughout history, both in China and abroad. Convenient transportation and a pleasant environment, if not a pleasant one, at least provide the foundation for an idyllic rural setting. As long as the villa is affordable, of the right quality, and appeals to their tastes, rather than the low-end, peasant-style dwellings of a farmhouse, and offers significant potential for future appreciation, why wouldn't they choose a property that offers both enjoyment and investment?
Lin Ruoyan randomly picked out one or two examples of the selling points of the type of villa she was going to build.
"Remember what I said earlier about opening the highway toll booth? That would not only shorten the physical distance and save residents a little bit of tolls, but also reduce the psychological distance to Beijing's living circle.
We could also find a way to designate residential properties in this starting area near the provincial border as having telephone numbers starting with 010, similar to the capital's. This would allow homeowners to live virtually the same as they would in Beijing. It would simply cost a few more kilometers, but they could completely escape the cramped high-rises east of the CBD and experience the life of a private villa. The price would simply be a bit higher.
As for the price of a house, one million yuan sounds very high now. It will take at least another year to wait for the planning scheme to be completed and the house to be built.
China's economy is booming, with incomes doubling year after year and money devaluing internally. Perhaps in a few years, even a modest high-rise apartment in Beijing, even one million yuan for basic needs, won't be affordable, let alone a 1.0-story villa.
"Buying a property for one million now and seeing it appreciate in value to hundreds of thousands in two or three years isn't an unattainable dream. And by the time the market opens in a year, I believe there will be even more people who can afford a down payment of 200,000 or 300,000 yuan than there are today."
Will it really be like that a year from now? Looking ahead a few years, will high-rise apartments in Beijing be impossible to buy for a million yuan?
The people present were a little hesitant, but Lin Ruoyan was of course convinced that this was something that would happen in the future, both in books and in reality, and her expression and eyes were unquestionable.
Then she said, "If Mr. Wang and the other seniors agree, I'll try to build a villa-like area like this. I'll pay for the overall industrial planning and starting area planning and design of the new city, and I'll find well-known overseas consulting agencies and design firms."
These beautiful pictures won't produce anything worthwhile without millions of dollars, but once they're done, they can be put to many uses. Reporting to the higher-ups, they'll be useful promotional material for future property sales ads.
As for the first phase of the development within the start-up zone, I don’t know much about hotels, but I do have some experience with other things like villa model groups and sales offices.”
Lin Ruoyan has said so much, and now she can finally bring up the content that she is familiar with and wants to control the quality, to see what the attitudes of these people are and whether they will allow her to do these things.
