Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

"You want to invest in real estate in Japan?"

Hu Zhenhua looked at Zhao Zhi in front of him and was a little impressed by his way of thinking.

Japan is so poor now that people can’t even get enough food to eat. How can the common people have money to buy real estate?

Zhao Zhi didn't think so, and said confidently,

"Didn't you say that land is as cheap as jewels when sold at a high price? It is precisely because Japan is so poor that land is very cheap." Hu Zhenhua rubbed his eyebrows. This idea is not wrong, but you have to consider the opportunity cost.

If you invest your money in Hong Kong, you can double it quickly, but if you invest your money in Japan, you may be stuck for three to five years, or even ten to eight years.

Hu Zhenhua looked at Zhao Zhi meaningfully and asked,

"Are you jealous because I got so much land for free?"

Zhao Zhi's face flushed, he scratched his head and said,

"Japan has a population of over 7000 million and a very small land area. As soon as the economy recovers, land prices will definitely rise sharply. If I don't act now, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to acquire land later!"

There was one more thing he didn't say: "If you don't take advantage of a good opportunity, you're a bastard." You all can get land for free, so how can I, Brother Zhao, fall behind?

Hu Zhenhua didn't expect that Zhao Zhi could actually see the relationship between population and land prices. It seems that he has really grown up.

Lao Hu gave a thumbs up and praised,

"Old Zhao, that's great. A man who hasn't been away for three days should be looked at with new eyes. Housing prices, in the short term, depend on capital, in the medium term on land supply, but in the long term, they are still closely related to population."

Hu Zhenhua looked up and thought about it, and felt that what Zhao Zhi said was right.

In fact, Lao Hu has no idea about the trend of Japanese housing prices at this stage.

Although TA company has invested heavily in Japan, its purpose is to plunder high-end talents and intercept Japan's national destiny.

The Honey Project has achieved good results, but it is far from enough.

According to Hu Zhenhua's plan, TA's investment entities in Japan mainly include three.

The first is research and development institutions, which is where high-end talents should go.

The second category is high-pollution, high-energy-consuming enterprises, such as the paper industry, the chemical industry, and coking coal and coke. Hu Zhenhua even plans to acquire several steel mills to produce crude steel.

The third type of enterprise is labor-intensive industry with low added value, such as clothing OEM.

Will such a large-scale investment stimulate the real estate market?

The answer is yes.

After a long time, Hu Zhenhua collected his thoughts and said,

"Old Zhao, let me tell you about the development trajectory of Japan's economy. It's up to you to decide whether you want to invest in real estate."

Hu Zhenhua cleared his throat and continued,

"Japan's economy is currently in a slow recovery phase, but the pace will accelerate within the next one or two years. This is due to the international situation. Since communism has achieved a resounding victory in China, the United States, in addition to its need for confrontation, wants to transform Japan into a Far Eastern military factory and a buffer against communism. Therefore, the United States has begun supporting Japan. During this period, investment is focused on manufacturing-based businesses. If you want to develop real estate, you can only rely on self-financing. Japan's real estate market does have unlimited potential, but you must manage your funds well, as once you purchase land, you may hold onto it for many years. If you want to develop it, you must also raise funds yourself, as obtaining loans may be difficult!"

At this point, Hu Zhenhua suddenly had an idea in his mind.

The real estate industry can drive upstream industries like steel and cement, as well as dozens of downstream industries like building materials and home furnishings. It can also provide a large number of jobs, significantly stimulating the economy.

When housing prices rise sharply, capital will flow in.

People tend to seek profit and avoid harm. When the money-making effect appears, countless ordinary people will rush into the real estate market.

The total amount of funds in a society is limited. If the real estate industry absorbs more funds, then other industries will absorb less funds.

Moreover, real estate is a profitable industry. You can just buy a building and save it without taking any risks. The profit may increase by 10%, 20% or even higher in a year.

Any capital would be tempted by such a good investment target.

Hu Zhenhua pinched his chin and a curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. Japan needs real estate to drive its economic development.

Moreover, in order to protect the interests of investors, I can move the future Chinese real estate loan model over there.

No matter whether the house price goes up or down, or whether it is unfinished or not, you must pay the monthly installments!

Otherwise, you will be put on the blacklist of dishonest persons.

Sharing happiness with others is worse than enjoying it alone. Such a good model must be shared with the people of Japan.

Hu Zhenhua suddenly fell into deep thought: With the real estate boom of later generations, is it possible that this lending model is a trap designed by capitalism, designed to plunder wealth and cause social problems in China?

After a long moment, Hu Zhenhua shook his head. Even if it was the case, he couldn't do anything to help. He should just live in the present and solve the problem at hand first.

What should we call this plan?

The normal human body temperature is 36.5 degrees, so this plan is called 39 degrees!

Hu Zhenhua looked up at Zhao Zhi and said with a smile,

"Old Zhao, we're brothers who share the same passion. If you decide to explore the Japanese real estate market, the company will fully support you. However, I may not be able to provide much in terms of funding. I have a model I'd like to share with you..."

Yu Bing saw them mumbling endlessly, and quickly interrupted them and shouted,

"That's about it. I was supposed to be the one investing, but you, Old Zhao, are the one taking the initiative!"

Zhao Zhi immediately retorted,

"Bingzi, you can only make a few bucks selling instant noodles. In my opinion, you should invest your money in Sifang Real Estate. It won't be long before you're the biggest boss in Hong Kong!"

Yu Bing was so angry that he laughed.

"I became the number one man in Hong Kong, what would you do?"

"By then, I will be the number one in Asia!"

"Get lost! Huazi doesn't even dare to call himself the best in Asia, and you're gasping for breath!"

Zhao Zhi blew out a smoke ring.

"Bingzi, I've noticed that ever since you were expelled from the station, you've become even more timid than a mouse. A real man, standing between heaven and earth, must dare to think and act. Not to mention being the number one in Asia, even if I were the number one in the world, I'd still dare to think!"

Yu Bing snorted coldly and retorted,

"There are so many courageous people in this world, but only a few of them can accomplish anything. Take, for example, your brother Zhao Yi. You were so famous in the Magic City, but now, you're just a legend!"

Zhao Zhi was exposed, and he felt a little embarrassed, but he was very thick-skinned.

"A shooting star shines only for a moment, yet it still brings glory to the world. I was only the top dog in Shanghai for two days, but I'm still a top dog!"

Hu Zhenhua knocked on the table to stop them from bickering.

"Industrial real estate is also real estate. Bingzi, when you go to Japan, try to acquire as much land as you can, especially in Fukuoka. Don't be afraid, the head office will cover your expenses!"

When Zhao Zhi heard this, he immediately became unhappy and shouted,

"Hua Zi, you can't be partial to one and treat the other the same. We at Sifang Real Estate can't be raised by a stepmother!"

Yu Bing immediately retorted,

"Sifang Real Estate isn't their subsidiary. Huazi is only giving you advice out of consideration for our past friendship. We're competitors, so don't be ungrateful!"

"Bullshit! He owns 30% of Sifang Real Estate. We are brothers and affiliated companies!"

"What's wrong with brothers? Even brothers have to settle accounts!"

"you!"

Hu Zhenhua knocked on the table again.

"Two brothers, please be patient!"

Old Hu turned to Zhao Zhi and said,

"Old Zhao, I'm not biased when it comes to the funding. TA's company focuses on industry, which is the company's overall direction. In fact, this is actually good for you. If TA enters the real estate sector, you'll have another strong competitor!"

Yu Bing made another strike in time.

"If our company enters the real estate industry, there's only one outcome for you: death!"

"Get lost! You're the one who's going to die!"

Zhao Zhi suddenly laughed foolishly.

"Yes, I have such a powerful foreign aid. In the real estate field, I will definitely be able to stand out and dominate the world!"

Yu Bing ignored him and started to get to the point.

"Huazi, please give me some advice on how to expand the market for my instant noodles. This thing doesn't have much technical content. Even if I apply for a patent, it won't stop people from copying it."

The less technically advanced something is, the more likely it is to get caught up in a price war.

Hu Zhenhua rubbed his eyebrows.

Soon, he came up with a solution.

Price war?

Only my costs are low enough, so why do you want to start a price war with me? That's how Coca-Cola does it. They haven't needed to raise prices for decades.

No company has been able to build this barrier for many years.

After figuring this out, Hu Zhenhua immediately said,

"The solution lies in working on cost reduction. On the upstream side, I suggest you sign long-term supply agreements with large American farms, purchasing wheat from them at a fixed price. But don't sign for too long, start with three years!"

Of course, it cannot be signed for too long, because after the end of the Korean Peninsula War, the United States’ agricultural products once again had a surplus and prices plummeted.

Many farmers went bankrupt and were forced to sell their farms.

Before this, due to the impact of the war, the prices of agricultural products were quite strong. We had to first determine the prices with the farmers so that we could harvest a wave.

Lao Hu took a sip of water and continued,

“As for palm oil, I suggest you cooperate with Nankai Group and sign a long-term agreement.”

“As for production, when you build a factory, try to use automated equipment to reduce costs.”

Hu Zhenhua pinched his chin and thought for a while, then continued,

"If you can control costs at the front end, you're already halfway to success! In terms of product positioning, I suggest you establish three brands: high-end, mid-range, and low-end, each catering to a different consumer group. Furthermore, you can establish several more brands and have them compete with each other. The advantage of doing this is that when outsiders see how fiercely competitive this market is, they won't be interested in entering."

Zhao Zhi gave a thumbs up and praised,

"Hua Zi, when it comes to playing tricks, you're the best!"

Hu Zhenhua scoffed at this statement and shouted,

"This is a strategy. Do you think it's all like real estate? It's always the same routine: acquire land, build houses, and sell houses!"

Yu Bing pushed Zhao Zhi aside and said sarcastically,

"The real estate industry is open to anyone, so ignore him! Huazi, isn't TA Grain and Oil planning to open a large number of stores in Japan? We can cooperate then!"

Zhao Zhi wanted to refute, but Lao Hu spoke first.

"You should talk to Atlan about this matter yourself!"

Hu Zhenhua turned around and said seriously,

"Innovation is the key to maintaining the vitality of a business. Lao Zhao, don't assume that housing is unnecessary. You should design apartment types that people prefer and develop more environmentally friendly materials. Bingzi, you can also develop sweet potato flour and potato flour. You can also add flavors like spicy, pickled cabbage, and tomato."

Yu Bing immediately said,

"I see. We have developed three flavors so far!"

The three chatted for a while, and Hu Zhenhua began to yawn. He looked at the time and said,

"It's almost dawn, everyone, take a nap. You have a plane to catch soon. Telegraph if you need anything!"
