Resource Tycoon Reborn

Although spring has already begun in the capital in mid-February, it is still under the rule of cold weather. It has passed the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the streets with snow can still be seen everywhere. The streets have regained their vitality, unlike during the festival, which seems like an empty city. Generally speaking, the railway department will also face the terrifying peak flow of people returning to the city after the holidays. Fang Mingyuan, who returned from South Korea, stayed in Beijing for two days and then returned to Fengyuan. Then he stayed in Pingchuan for a few days and left Fengyuan International. The airport flew to Dubai, stayed in Dubai for three days, and then went to Russia. After staying in Moscow, Russia for two days, he took a flight back to Beijing.

Although the global economic crisis has broken out and has begun to significantly affect the economies of various countries around the world, as the capital of China, the capital gives ordinary people the feeling that, except for the pace of rising housing prices that has reversed, the capital is still so prosperous Despite the huge crowds of people, people's lives are still busy and tense. Fang Mingyuan returned to his courtyard house within the Second Ring Road. He first visited his elders who lived in the courtyard not far away and brought them some Russian food. After spending a few minutes chatting with the elderly about the local specialties, I returned to my room when a guest came to my door.

"Uncle Mei, you took the time to come to me despite your busy schedule. Is there anything you can do?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. Mei Dongze and he have known each other for many years, so they naturally spoke more casually. .

"Hey, not only am I a busy person, but you are also a very busy person. If I don't have anything to do, I won't come over and take up your precious time." Mei Dongze took a sip of tea and said, "I heard that you plan to sell a batch of the things you have in hand. House, is this a problem? Do you think the housing prices in Beijing have reached their peak?" The house rental company under Longxing Construction Group is a well-known house rental company in Beijing, and it is different from other housing agencies in that it rents out The houses and shops are all self-owned. They are the remaining houses in the communities built by Longxing Construction Group in Beijing over the years. Most of them are in quite good locations, and although some houses have been for some years, the maintenance of the houses is The maintenance is very good and they are very popular in the rental market.

"I plan to sell a batch of properties in my hand, but this has nothing to do with the fact that the housing prices in Beijing have reached the peak." Fang Mingyuan said, "I just plan to cash out a sum of money. I have used money in too many places recently, and I am a person who I don’t like having too much debt, so I sell a bunch of properties.”

Mei Dongze breathed a sigh of relief. There was no need for Fang Mingyuan to lie to him about this kind of thing, and he also knew that the Fang family had made great moves in the past two years. Not to mention anything else, Qingshan Province alone, the future of the Fang family The investment in a few years is tens of billions of dollars. Even if you can get a loan from a bank, you must invest a certain amount of your own funds, so it is reasonable for Fang Mingyuan to say that it is just to cash out funds.

In fact, he is not here to ask this question on his own behalf. In recent years, housing prices in Beijing have increased significantly. Many families, including the Mei family, hold a large amount of real estate in Beijing and other places. In 2008, In the second half of the year, housing prices in major domestic cities, including Beijing, fell to varying degrees. Coupled with the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, U.S. real estate prices fell sharply. This also made them feel a little uneasy, fearing that domestic Housing prices will also follow in the footsteps of the United States, in which case the losses will be considerable.

"Are you free in the evening? Dongcheng wants to see you, and he also wants to thank you in person." Mei Dongze put aside his worries and asked with a smile. Mei Dongcheng is Mei Dongze's cousin and a direct descendant of the Mei family.

.

"Uncle Dongcheng? What did he thank me for?" Fang Mingyuan also knew Mei Dongcheng, and said strangely, "I can't do it tonight, I have to go see Grandpa Su."

Mei Dongze slapped his forehead and said, "Hey, look at my brain, how about this afternoon? I'll call him right now and ask him to come over after a meeting in the city." He knew that Fang Mingyuan was too.

Busy man, he has just arrived in the capital. After others know the news, more people will be looking for him. If he doesn't tell the matter now and wants to make an appointment with Fang Mingyuan again, he doesn't know when it will happen.

After receiving the call from Mei Dongze, Mei Dongcheng found an excuse to get out of the meeting and rushed to Fang Mingyuan's residence. He is now the director of the Beijing Housing and Urban-Rural Development Commission. The former director was transferred because of Xie Guowei's transfer.

The city's leadership positions were adjusted, and they were promoted one level and transferred to other units. The newly appointed Mei Dongcheng naturally hopes to make some achievements, but in the capital, it is not easy to make real achievements.

!

Especially after he took over the position of director, he discovered that the city's construction of affordable housing, renovation of dilapidated buildings and protection of the ancient capital's style were seriously lagging behind. This was already 2009, and four-fifths of the five-year plan had been passed.

Less than half of the target was achieved. The original director had already been promoted, and he could not be lured back by the other party. Naturally, he had to find a way to fill this hole.

But this is easier said than done. The construction of guaranteed housing, the renovation of dilapidated buildings and the protection of the ancient capital's style are not something that any company can do casually. Moreover, building a house also has its own risks.

It's cyclical, which doesn't mean that if you buy land today, you can install equipment tomorrow, and lay the foundation the day after tomorrow, all aspects of management and sealing can make the business staff break their legs. Those companies that don't have any means or background, building a building

It’s over, and the procedures haven’t been completed yet, so there’s nothing surprising about it. If you look for companies that have just bought land or want to buy land, it will be extremely fast for these buildings to be occupied within 10 years.

And it is not easy to persuade those companies that have already bought land and are building buildings to set aside part of it as affordable housing. Among the companies that can buy land for real estate in Beijing, none of them have a few big shots behind them, or they are

It is simply a central enterprise, the Beijing Housing and Urban-Rural Development Commission, which has great power and small power. As a newly appointed director, facing these enterprises, in many cases, it is like a cat catching a hedgehog with no place to claw! Moreover, they

Most of the houses have been sold while they are still on the drawings, so naturally it is impossible to transfer them to the Beijing Housing and Urban-Rural Development Commission. Of course, it is not that there are no real estate companies coming to the door, it is just that these companies have to give up their business qualifications as soon as they come.

Mei Dongcheng doesn't like it. Secondly, the quality and location of the property are not good, the supporting facilities are incomplete, the transportation is not convenient, and the price is not very favorable compared with today's housing prices. If such a house is converted into affordable housing,

The target has been achieved, and it is estimated that Mei Dongcheng's backbone will have to be pointed at in the future.

Of course, these companies have expressed their interest once the deal is concluded, but firstly, the Mei family is not short of this small amount of money, and secondly, Mei Dongcheng does not regard the Beijing Housing and Urban-Rural Development Committee as his retirement home.

, he has more ambitious expectations for his future, so naturally he looks down on these companies.

He also occasionally heard his cousin mention that Fang Mingyuan intended to sell a batch of houses owned by the housing rental company under Longxing Construction Group Company. Only then did he suddenly realize how he had given Fang Mingyuan such a big help.

I forgot. Although Longxing Construction Group Company said it has not purchased land in the capital in the past two years, its land reserves are quite large, and the city government cannot urge it to develop these lands based on their expiry date.

This is mainly because these lands are relatively remote and located on the edge of the urban area of ​​​​Beijing City. The supporting facilities are not complete and must be gradually developed by Longxing Construction Group Company itself. Moreover, the land area is large and all are owned by Longxing Construction Group.

The company took over municipal projects and used land to offset the construction costs. For example, the land near the Jingji Expressway and Jingji Urban Railway was handed over to Longxing Construction Group Company for development. Because the land area was too large, and part of it

It is also too far from the urban area, so it is naturally impossible to develop it at the same time. Therefore, the city has tacitly accepted that the transfer period of this type of land acquired by Longxing Construction Group Company is calculated from before the official start of construction. Another example is

Qinglongguan Community and some subsequent community developments were developed in the form of part of the real estate being handed over to the government as affordable housing to be used as land payment. In those years, the supply of affordable housing in Beijing was relatively sufficient. And Beijing’s housing and urban-rural development

Most of the nearly one-half of the affordable housing targets that the committee has completed so far were obtained from the buildings built by Longxing Construction Group.

Mei Dongcheng immediately checked the information and found that Longxing Construction Group still has two properties that are about to be completed. By June, it will be able to launch more than 6,000 residential units on the market. By the end of the year and the first half of next year, there will be

Almost 16,000 to 7,000 residential units can be put on the market. Since Longxing Construction Group has always implemented sales of existing buildings, it can be said that except for about 2,000 of these residential units, which have been classified as affordable housing, the rest have no owners yet.

Moreover, the housing leasing company under Longxing Construction Group owns more than 7,000 houses. The number accumulated over more than ten years is quite astonishing! If all these 7,000 houses alone were sold,

Going out, even in the second half of 2008, when housing prices in Beijing dropped sharply, it was still an astonishing sum of money.

Mei Dongcheng hopes to reach a deal with Fang Mingyuan to acquire these completed and soon-to-be-built residences from Longxing Construction Group to increase the number of affordable housing, meet the needs of citizens, and also achieve the five-year plan of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Committee

predetermined goals.

But he was also uneasy. Although housing prices in the capital have dropped significantly, it also depends on the location and specific properties. The properties built by Longxing Construction Group Company have always been a guarantee of quality. That one

After the natural disaster, the reputation of Longxing Construction Group Company in the domestic construction market can be said to be unparalleled. The projects and properties it built have naturally been highly sought after by the market.

Therefore, the properties now sold by Longxing Construction Group Company in Beijing are all second-hand properties with the highest price among the same-level properties. If Longxing Construction Group Company had not always insisted on selling existing houses, these properties would have been sold earlier.

They sold everything. In this case, Mei Dongcheng had no idea whether his psychological price could be recognized by Fang Mingyuan. After all, from the perspective of profitability, Longxing Construction Group Company

Putting these houses on the market is the best option to maximize profits.

If it were other companies, Mei Dongcheng could still have many means to force the other party to make some concessions, but facing Fang Mingyuan and Longxing Construction Group Company, he did not dare to use those means, not to mention

What will Fang Mingyuan's reaction be? The Mei family will blow up their nest first.

The car quickly arrived outside Fang Mingyuan's courtyard, but Mei Dongze was the only one standing at the door waiting for him. Mei Dongcheng's heart sank and he quickly said: "Brother Dongze, Master Fang is gone?"

"I haven't left yet. I'm in the study. The Kuwaiti ambassador is here." Mei Dongze muttered, "It seems that the Kuwaiti government needs his help with something."

"Hiss..." Mei Dongcheng grinned. This is really irritating.

While the two were talking, they saw Fang Mingyuan walking out of the courtyard accompanied by an Arab. Judging from the smiles on their faces, it was obvious that the meeting had achieved good results.

"Fang, you are our Kuwaitis' forever friend! The Emir and Prince Abdullah asked me to take a message. You are welcome to visit Kuwait when you are free!" The Kuwaiti ambassador solemnly said to Fang Mingyuan while standing on the steps.

"Thank you. Please send my regards to the Emir and Prince Abdullah of your country for me. I will definitely go to Kuwait when I have time." Fang Mingyuan also replied solemnly.

Watching the Kuwaiti ambassador's vehicle turn around the corner, Fang Mingyuan turned around and said with a smile: "Uncle Dongcheng is here, let's talk inside."

"What does the Ambassador of Kuwait have to do with you this time?" Mei Dongze asked casually, "If it is a confidential matter, there is no need to tell it."

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a confidential matter. Isn't this an economic crisis? The demand for oil in various countries around the world has declined significantly, but it is not so easy for Middle Eastern countries to adjust their crude oil production. Kuwait's current storage capacity

The oil facilities are basically full. Although they have rented some tankers to park overseas for oil storage, the tankers cost rent and maintenance costs. So the Kuwaiti ambassador came to me and hoped to borrow them.

The Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company’s oil storage facility is used to store crude oil.”

"Oh!" Mei Dongze nodded. Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company sold a large amount of crude oil in stock before the price of oil in the international market reached a historical high. He knew this. Now the price of crude oil in the international market has fallen to a low.

, Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company is now gradually backfilling the oil storage depot. (To be continued.)
