Those Years When I Was Forced to Top the Forbes List

Chapter 42 Let's speed things up in this world!
The dishes were gradually served.

The atmosphere gradually quieted down.

"...In Nanshan, they are also building a Shenzhen-Hong Kong modern service industry cooperation zone and a free trade zone. In the past, they engaged in processing with supplied materials, OEM manufacturing, and front-shop-back-factory operations. Now, the industrial chain has reached a certain scale, and with the gradual upgrading of industries, countless high-tech enterprises are flocking there."

"It's not just Nanshan and Huaqiangbei; there are opportunities in all walks of life. This is a city with a large influx of people and a lot of high-income earners, so housing demand will continue to rise and supply will become increasingly tight."

“Land prices in Shenzhen are currently in a period of high growth. The compensation for land expropriation in urban villages is only 2500 yuan per square meter. The government is also strongly supporting newly established investments. As long as there are projects, it is relatively easy to get loans. Uncle, since you are going to put out the three-tier tender, you should consolidate your cash on hand and use it to invest in land in Shenzhen.”

“Even if it’s a very small and remote piece of land, if you’re willing to go to Shenzhen to do real estate, I can point you to a few areas that I’m optimistic about. Go and check them out, and you’ll find that there’s gold everywhere. The return on investment will be much higher than doing construction here.”

Chen Xuebing described at length the process and "observations" of his trip to Huaqiangbei to purchase goods, of course, omitting the part about collecting payments and talking at length about the development and prospects of the special economic zone.

His insights certainly surpass those of everyone present, and everything he said today is true.

It's unlikely that any reborn person would reveal future business opportunities to those who are dissatisfied with them, just like him.

But what he's doing today is a calculated, open scheme.

Luo Min will definitely help Luo Hong and his son Luo An secure the largest volume of the three bids. Then they will face huge investments in the three bids, and they won't be able to get out of the predicament for one or two years or even longer. Listening to them is useless. By the time they actually settle the three bids and make money, it will be at least two years later, when the overall market in Shenzhen will have already skyrocketed.

Luo Min herself couldn't leave Chongqing either; Chen Xuebing knew she had just been promoted to some kind of section chief.

She will most likely not agree to her uncle going to Shenzhen, because that would mean the couple would be living apart.

If she expresses her opposition to her uncle today, the couple will regret their decision in two years, and her uncle will definitely blame her.

If she agrees to let her uncle go to Shenzhen to make money, then she will point out a clear path for him to develop in Shenzhen in the long term and become her help in the future.

Back then, Luo Min would either have resigned to become her uncle's subordinate, or the couple would have lived apart, so their relationship would definitely not have been as good as it is now.

As for my uncle's valuable connections in Chongqing, if he becomes successful, whether he is in Shenzhen or Chongqing, his connections will only become more secure and even more extensive.

Chen Xuebing casually set a trap for Luo Min that she couldn't even see.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Luo Min immediately expressed his disdain.

However, she has already achieved her goal today, and with a calmer mindset, her speech was much more logical than before.

"You're just a student, yet you're talking about the economy. Shenzhen has a special economic zone, of course there are opportunities. Do you think anyone can just jump on the bandwagon these days? I don't think you understand. Even Shi Nai'an said, 'Those with noble lineage stay in their ancestral home, those with poverty leave for distant lands.' Do you know what that means? Your uncle has connections in Chongqing, but who will help him now that he's gone?"

No wonder he's a section chief; he speaks with such eloquence.

Chen Xuebing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Auntie, your reasoning might work in other places, but Shenzhen was just a fishing village more than 20 years ago. Most of the people who got rich there were outsiders who had ventured there. Who had help at the beginning? Of course, you need to use connections, but if you are obsessed with connections and don't pay attention to business principles, that's not business, that's just speculation. You won't make big money that way."

"Hey." Luo Min sneered angrily: "Without your uncle's connections and your mother's savings, would you dare to take on any construction projects? Would you even be able to take on any projects? Don't even mention a 200 million yuan project, you wouldn't even be able to help someone build a self-built house on the roadside! Your uncle said you've grown up and made progress, but I think you've just grown up with a belly full of twisted logic and fooled your uncle!"

Chen Xuebing shook his head and smiled faintly, "How about a bet? In three months, I won't take a single penny from my mother. I'll earn the money myself to pay back my uncle's 10,000 yuan, and finish the project. Then you can let my uncle go to Shenzhen."

"boom!"

Luo Min couldn't stand Chen Xuebing's smile, so she slammed her hand on the table, pointed at Chen Xuebing, and got angry again.

"Fine! You can't do that. After you graduate, you'll have to find a job yourself!"

“No problem!” Chen Xuebing replied immediately.

While the two were arguing, everyone else remained silent.

Yu Xinxin and Chen Xuejin were both well-behaved and quiet, and didn't make a fuss.

Yu Chunyan actually wanted Chen Xuebing to follow the proper etiquette between elders and juniors, but her son's assertiveness suited her perfectly; every word he said to Luo Min struck a chord with her. Meanwhile, the Luo family father and son were quietly making a fortune. They had always wanted to get a larger share of the third bid, and now that the two sides were at odds, it was even better. Besides, if they could really get Yu Chunyin to go to Shenzhen, wouldn't the entire project be theirs?
It's good that you're arguing.

"Hey, hey, hey." Yu Chunyin, the only one who wanted to ease the tension, pulled Luo Min's hand down and, unusually, put on a stern face, scolded, "How can you act like an elder like this? Chen Xuebing, how dare you talk to your aunt like that? Apologize!"

Chen Xuebing completely ignored him and went straight to the heart of his uncle's words: "Uncle, Aunt's opinion doesn't count. The key question is whether you dare to go?"

At this moment, Yu Chunyin seemed to have forgotten what she had just said, and slammed her hand on the table.

"Nonsense! Do you think my money fell from the sky? Didn't I earn it all by myself? When I was doing business, you couldn't even recite the Three Character Classic properly!"

Chen Xuebing chuckled and muttered, "I can't memorize it right now either."

Yu Chunyin glared at Chen Xuebing, then waved her hand and said, "Enough talk, let's eat!"

"I'm not eating anymore. You guys keep talking, I'm going back to school."

After the meal, the uncle, who was probably trying to smooth things over, finally managed to get to the point, but Chen Xuebing didn't give him a chance. He got up and stormed out.

...

Chen Xuebing came out of the small shop on the street, holding a Chaotianmen cigarette and a box of matches in his hand.

These days, you can still buy cigarettes loose.

Chen Xuebing isn't a heavy smoker and doesn't carry a whole pack of cigarettes with him, but he really wants one right now.

“chua”.

"Zi..."

The faint woody scent of the matches enhanced the aroma, and as I puffed out smoke, my mind remained unsettled.

It's been 25 days since I was reborn.

They didn't even recoup their money from the trip to Shenzhen.

Making money in this era is fucking slow.

The world is too slow. Roads are slow, cars are slow, banks are slow, and the internet is slow.

The time for rebirth is so precious, yet it's wasted on these distances.

He made a bet with Luo Min just now, wasn't it because he was annoyed by the slowness of everything and wanted to push himself a little harder?

At that moment, he suddenly felt a strong desire to change everything; a kind of ambition was boiling within him.

Only infrastructure can speed things up.

It's not just about old infrastructure like building bridges and roads, but also about new infrastructure, networks, data, and the industrial internet.

No, everything that serves the speed at which society operates is infrastructure!

After his rebirth, he felt for the first time that he had found a clear direction to strive for.

Speed ​​up the world!
