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

Hu Zhenhua saw their worries and said with a smile,

"The poorer a place is, the faster it develops! The United States is indeed wealthy, but what can its economic growth rate be? Look here again, I dare to say that this year's economic growth rate will definitely exceed 10%!"

Hans sighed and said,

"We don't deny that this place is like the rising sun, but without foreign exchange, what's the point of making more money? We can't stay here!"

Hu Zhenhua was very troubled. Historically, in order to obtain valuable foreign exchange to develop industry, my country tightened its belt and sold grain. According to relevant data, from 1950 to 1960, my country's average annual grain exports were around 230 million tons.

Now, we can't go back to the old ways.

Hu Zhenhua pointed to the ground under his feet and said,

"I don't want to dwell on the foreign exchange issue. Just because there's no foreign exchange today doesn't mean there won't be tomorrow! Business always involves taking risks, and the greater the risk, the higher the profit margin! Look at the Jiangjunshan Service Area, it covers 1 mu. Based on the price of our shares, such a service area is only worth a little over 600 million yuan. Isn't it worth investing in?"

"When it comes to investing, you can't put all your eggs in one basket! The free world is one basket, and socialist countries are another. I think for you, 10 or 20 is not a very large number. You sow a seed today, and who knows if it won't grow into a towering tree tomorrow?"

This statement was agreed by the vast majority of people. Investing means sharing risks. The reason why TA company has developed so rapidly is because it has the best of both worlds.

There is no shortage of adventurers in the business world, oil merchant Gallon immediately said,

"Mr. Hu, I wonder how the gas station is invested?"

"Only one gas station is allowed in each service area. You will be responsible for its full construction and operation. Zhongzhou Company will hold a 51% stake. The annual rent for the land is 200 yuan per mu, with no other fees!"

Galen did not expect such favorable conditions, and was overjoyed. He immediately expressed his support.

"Our company is willing to invest in 10!"

Hu Zhenhua nodded slightly.

"Yes, Mr. Gallen. I have one thing to remind you. When it comes to hiring employees, try to localize them as much as possible. Also, I suggest you register a company in Bao'an or Chongming and invest in that company's name. Only by keeping quiet can you make a fortune."

Gallen grinned and said,

"Got it! I have another small question. Can I open a convenience store at a gas station?"

How could Hu Zhenhua not know what he was planning? He smiled and said,

"Of course you can. A convenience store is also part of a gas station. However, the goods you sell can only be those that have paid the storage fee."

Gallen shrugged and said regretfully, "Okay!"

A businessman raised his hand and asked,

"Wait, Mr. Gallon's fuel doesn't require a shelf fee?"

Hu Zhenhua looked around and found that he was also an oil businessman. On the highway, the biggest consumable is fuel. It can be said that no business is as profitable as oil.

"Mr. Aiqi, we have certain requirements for the construction of gas stations. They must be simple, beautiful, and safe, so the construction costs are not low. It is precisely because of this consideration that we do not charge a storage fee for fuel. Mr. Aiqi, if you want to invest in gas stations, you must act quickly. MiFu Petroleum has acquired 200 of the 400 gas stations in these 50 service areas, and the Chongming refinery has also acquired 50. Other major oil companies haven't received the news yet. If you are slow to act, it will be difficult to say for sure!"

Hearing this, Ai Qi shouted without thinking,

"I want 10 seats too, no, 20 seats!"

Hu Zhenhua was very happy and shook hands with him cordially.

"Congratulations, Mr. Aiqi! The construction vehicles on this highway are in huge demand for fuel. If you act quickly, you can sell the fuel tomorrow! Go and select a location with the relevant personnel. I wish you great fortune!"

“Can I sell oil now?”

"Of course, you've got the permit. Just bring the barrels of fuel here and set up a simple place to sell them, but be careful."

"clear."

Seeing his excitement, Lao Hu reminded him,

"Mr. Gallon, Mr. Aitch, I must say a few more words. There are standards for gas station construction. You'd better calculate the budget first. If you are greedy and fail to complete the project by the deadline, I will take back your unfinished gas station."

"What standard?"

"You've seen the gas stations in Chongming, right? The standards are much higher than that. You need to build large underground oil storage tanks, parking lots, refueling facilities, and even repair the roads near the gas stations. I estimate that the investment in a gas station is no less than 200 million yuan!"

"so tall?"

Seeing that they had backed off, Hu Zhenhua quickly changed his words and said,

"Of course, I'm talking about the total investment. This money isn't a one-time investment. You can reinvest the profits from selling fuel. I estimate that 10 to 50 yuan per gas station will be enough. You can calculate the specific cost yourself!"

Aiqi nodded slightly, that was indeed the truth.

Hu Zhenhua reminded them again,

"If you feel you can't afford it, you can always find someone else to form a joint venture with! Time is money, so hurry up and negotiate!"

Upon hearing this, several oil businessmen hurriedly contacted the relevant person in charge to find out the details.

Hu Zhenhua looked at their departing backs, a smile on his face.

There is no doubt that the core asset of a service area is the gas station. According to common thinking, the more valuable something is, the more it should be the centerpiece.

Lao Hu went against the grain in order to throw out some ideas. It's like fishing. If the fish don't want to come to the place you choose, what should you do? Of course, you should make a nest with the most delicious food.

Don’t be fooled by the low threshold of the gas station. Once you get in, you will find that free things are the most expensive.

When everyone saw the oil merchant leave, some people's attitudes softened, and one of them asked,

"Mr. Hu, from what you're saying, it seems like you're planning to turn the service area into a modern commercial center. According to my calculations, 4900 million shares, 50 yuan per share, will raise a total of 24.5 billion yuan. That may seem like a lot, but if you spread it out across 400 service areas, that's only 612.5 million yuan each. Remember, each service area requires thousands of acres of land, and some even tens of thousands. 612.5 million is far from enough! Your investment in Baohe Plaza in Chongming County is over 1300 million yuan!"

Hu Zhenhua nodded slightly and said with a smile,

"Mr. Kabuki, you're absolutely right. 612.5 million is far from enough to cover the cost of building a service area, but you've overlooked one point."

Hu Zhenhua pointed at the departing oil merchant and asked,

"The investment in gas stations is gradual. Can't we follow their example?"

Jenny opened her eyes wide and screamed,

"I understand. This 600 million is just start-up capital. We can use the listing fees and product profits to fund future development!"

Hu Zhenhua started clapping his hands, and seeing this, the others immediately followed suit, and the whole place burst into applause.
