Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

Li Chaoren has been planning to go to that inland area to buy land for many years.

The reason why no action has been taken is that land management in the mainland is quite strict.

My own network of contacts is not yet complete, and if I go in rashly I may not get what I want.

Secondly, they are worried about the change in wind direction.

The original plan was to be cautious first and wait for the mainland to take the initiative to sell the land commercially.

Lin Kaifeng aggressively expanded his business empire in Hong Kong, and Li Chaoren felt unprecedented pressure.

Sooner or later, Lin Kaifeng's Northern Machinery Group will definitely set its sights on the real estate business in Gangcheng.

Whether in terms of economic size or influence in other aspects, Li Chaoren knows that he is no match for Lin Kaifeng.

How can we break the impasse and avoid being swallowed up by Lin Kaifeng?

There is only one answer, to create another battlefield.

Lin Kaifeng was able to expand the Northern Machinery Group's business territory to the United States, so why couldn't he go to the mainland to make plans in advance?

With the good image he has painstakingly built and his eloquent speech, the top leaders in Pengcheng and the mainland will definitely agree to sell land to Li Chaoren.

Following these ideas, Li Chaoren saw a brand new business opportunity.

There are currently no commercial land auctions in the mainland.

It is precisely for this reason that land transactions in the mainland are a blank area.

If you make a move early, you will not only be able to acquire a large amount of land at a very low price, but you will also avoid encountering competitors.

Which business makes the most money? Real estate business must be one of them.

In addition to the real estate business, there is another business that can make Li Chaoren a huge profit.

Exclusive business.

The next day, Li Chaoren led a large business team to leave the port city through the land port.

The pie is finished.

All Superman Li needs to do is to perfect the pie and sprinkle more tempting sesame seeds on it.

Li Chaoren and his team received a warm welcome from local people in Pengcheng.

That evening, Pengcheng's new mayor Yuan Feipeng held a grand welcome party at a foreign-related hotel.

The next day, the two parties held another business negotiation on the land sale.

There is a land planning map hanging in the conference room, and Li Chaoren promised to invest tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars here.

Build modern commercial residences, shopping malls, hospitals, schools, office buildings, hotels, parks and other urban supporting facilities.

"Mayor Yuan, distinguished gentlemen and ladies, Pengcheng has unlimited potential for commercial development. The country has provided Pengcheng with a large number of preferential policies, which has further accelerated its development."

"Over the years, Pengcheng has attracted numerous investors from home and abroad through investment promotion. Factories have sprung up in Pengcheng like mushrooms after rain. With more and more people moving into Pengcheng, the existing urban infrastructure has been unable to meet the needs of a large number of foreign populations."

"It is foreseeable that in the near future, more companies will come here to open branches and build factories."

"Office buildings, residential buildings, cinemas, parks, and shops that provide entertainment for citizens must also keep pace."

Yuan Feipeng and other department leaders nodded frequently.

Li Chaoren is right.

At present, the urban construction in Pengcheng lags far behind the urban development.

The area with the best development momentum in the city is the industrial area.

Northern Machinery Group built two large industrial parks, and built a series of supporting buildings and facilities nearby for the industrial park workers.

Elsewhere, development is still slow.

Every year, companies from all over the world set up branches in Shenzhen, build factories and produce various types of goods.

The number of employees in Pengcheng is increasing year by year.

The housing problem has long become a major concern for the city government.

After completing all the elements on the pie, Li Chaoren returned to his seat and sat down.

"After our company acquires these lands, it will invest 2.8 billion per year for five consecutive years."

"We will build these lands into prosperous areas comparable to modern cities. At the same time, we hope that the city government can give appropriate consideration and lower the sales price of the land from 800 million to 300 million."

After the words were spoken, silence fell in the conference room.

Yuan Feipeng once suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

"Mr. Li, how much did you say? Three hundred million?"

"Yes, three hundred million."

Li Chaoren said frankly: "My next investment amount will exceed 10 billion. Such a large investment will inevitably affect other projects of the group. To convince the group's shareholders to agree to my investment plan, I must have some strong persuasive chips in my hand."

"If Pengcheng is willing to sell the land to me for 300 million yuan, I will have absolute confidence in convincing the group's shareholders."

"They will definitely have no objection to the next series of cooperation."

"Mr. Li, 300 million is too low."

Yuan Feipeng shook his head and said, "The 800 million we offered is a reasonable figure after comprehensive comparison. This price is already an absolute discount."

The other party was willing to invest tens of billions in Pengcheng, and Yuan Feipeng welcomed it with open arms.

But the prerequisite is too harsh.

Li Chaoren said with embarrassment: "Mayor Yuan, it is my duty to serve the motherland and help the development and construction of the mainland."

"I am willing to contribute my own efforts to help the country develop, but please understand my difficulties."

"It's true that I'm the head of the group, but I don't have the final say in the entire group. There are a large number of shareholders and senior executives inside. If I don't convince them, many things won't go forward."

"Mayor Yuan, all the leaders, why don't you take a longer-term view? Selling the land to me for 300 million yuan will indeed cause you to suffer some short-term economic losses. But once the land is turned into a prosperous commercial, residential, and industrial area, the taxes and other added value generated each year will far exceed this money."

"Future development is the most important thing, and short-term losses are worth it."

When it comes to making big promises, selling people out and counting the money for himself, Li Chaoren is definitely among the top three richest people in Hong Kong.

Don't talk about the present, just talk about the future.

He described in great detail the future changes to the 200 hectares of land.

At present, these lands are wastelands located in the suburbs of Pengcheng.

There is no development value.

Once in Li Chaoren's hands, the land will change dramatically.

What developed cities in the West are like, that is what Shenzhen will be like in the future.

Pengcheng is one of the fastest-growing cities in China and a leader in domestic economic development.

Since it is the leader, the city’s appearance must be completely different.

Compared with other cities in China, Pengcheng can be considered a developed region, but in the eyes of foreigners, the urban appearance of Pengcheng is still backward.

Not to mention comparing with developed Western countries, even compared with Hong Kong cities, we are still lagging behind by a lot.

The basic standards of a developed city are skyscrapers rising one after another, a constant stream of vehicles, and a dense web of traffic roads.

Office buildings, shopping malls and hotels can be found everywhere.

Pengcheng has none of these.
