From last year onward.

The local government had just launched a strategic plan called "Export-Oriented Economy," and attracting foreign investment was undoubtedly the key.

The so-called two thousand mu of land referred to construction-planned land. (1 mu = ~0.16 acres)

The surrounding area also needed to be planned for parks, schools, hospitals, roads, and so on. Lakes and such couldn't be included, so the total area of the project would have to be tripled or quadrupled. A mere two thousand mu was definitely not enough.

Rumor had it that the investment would be as high as 3.4 billion RMB to build a small town.

The people in charge of the reception stared with shining eyes, completely treating Su Yehao as a "megaphone," without noticing Mr. Su's bewilderment.

When the topic turned to an integrated complex concept similar to a cultural tourism city, Su Yehao suddenly perked up.

In his opinion, there were many benefits to doing so.

First, it could break free from the scope of land auctions, providing an opportunity to negotiate a suitable price directly, taking advantage of the scale.

Second, it would secure a large batch of land at once, allowing for phased development and a continuous stream of returns.

Third, it would gain policy support, definitely benefiting from procedures, loans, and tax reductions.

Fourth, it would launch the company's reputation with a bang, creating opportunities to replicate similar models in other places and continue acquiring large batches of low-priced land...

If you were to ask where the inspiration came from.

Naturally, it was from the various cultural tourism cities of later generations, wearing the guise of cultural tourism industry but actually engaging in real estate development.

Su Yehao knew that many cultural tourism cities had failed, but in this era, in this location, and at this price, he could hardly see any possibility of failure. Even if the capital chain broke and the project was abandoned for many years, the increase in land value alone would inevitably yield a huge profit.

Other cultural tourism cities, however, were either in remote locations or had high prices, lacking location, population, and market – completely different from the current situation.

You must know.

This place was bordered by the core urban area on one side and the future central business district on the other.

Selling houses for 70,000 to 80,000 yuan twenty years later wouldn't be a big problem, and the price would be even higher with the addition of good schools.

Clearly, he didn't have any plans at all, relying entirely on his mouth to exaggerate wildly.

From a commercial snack street in a city that never sleeps, to film and television bases, large business districts, and a new generation of residences regarded as global benchmarks.

As they talked... it didn't seem like they were acquiring land anymore, but rather investing in some kind of tourism industry.

Mr. Su finally came to his senses, found an excuse to pull his son away, lest he act like he was possessed, speaking in complete systems.

If he wasn't alarmed by the investment amount, even he would have believed it...

On the way back.

The vice president of Sihai International, named Yue Wenlong, rode in the same car with the Su family.

Vice President Yue, sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head to look at Mr. Su at this time, giving a thumbs up and praising:

"As expected of President Su, I knew that selling the real estate company's shares to the Huang family at a low price some time ago wouldn't be that simple. The boss has a grand strategy in his mind, unfathomable, so he was raising funds for a major project! The housing prices in Hong Kong have skyrocketed, so you immediately withdrew and came to the mainland to buy at the bottom, I'm so excited that my hands are shaking!"

"Grand strategy? I have a ghost in my heart..."

Mr. Su thought to himself.

In front of outsiders, namely Vice President Yue, he smiled calmly and didn't reveal anything.

The expression on his face was inscrutable.

Vaguely, it made Su Yehao, who had been paying attention to him, feel a little familiar.

During the conversation between the father and son last night, he seemed to have seen the same look.

——————————————

Back at the hotel.

Mr. Su got out of the car and immediately couldn't hold back, calling Su Yehao to his room.

He lit a cigar and blew smoke out the window.

Judging from his expression and movements, he was obviously very uneasy.

Seeing his son being impolite, starting to trim a cigar as well, Mr. Su glared and said, "What was that just now? I knew I shouldn't have brought you here. How much rice have you eaten, making such a mess!"

Su Yehao had already guessed that he would be lectured by his old man, and said calmly at the moment:

"What else could it be? I found that the land price was higher than expected, so I changed my thinking to help you. That location is quite good, we can take it."

"We can take it? Do you know how much money needs to be invested? Such a large piece of land, development also costs money, more than a billion in my hands isn't enough!"

"Who said it's not enough? It's enough. Phased development, we can also take out loans, construction always takes time, dividing it into ten phases is no problem. Develop and recover funds at the same time. If it really doesn't work, we can pull in the local city investment or state-owned enterprises, take funds or land as shares together. The cake is too big, if we don't share it, and get the help of the locals, it will be difficult for our family to eat it alone."

Lighting his cigar, Su Yehao sat by the small round table by the window, blew out smoke, and then told him:

"I've noticed that recently everyone lacks confidence in the future market. Earlier, when I tentatively asked if they would allow land to be auctioned in a concentrated manner and whether there would be any supportive measures to backstop, they changed the topic. It's estimated that they heard rumors that high land prices would be suppressed. This means that there will likely be opportunities to buy at the bottom. Since directly participating in land auctions isn't stable enough, it's better to take a different approach and acquire land through large projects. The price should be much more favorable, the cost will be reduced, the risk will be small, and the profit will be large. At that time, Dad, you will be the businessman with the most land in the mainland, throughout Casino."

"..."

Having said that, Mr. Su was enlightened.

He was planning the possibility of letting the locals invest with land, and whether his friends would be interested in this project and come together to invest.

If it's developed in phases, building and selling at the same time, then it really doesn't need that much money, and his strength is basically enough.

The so-called acquiring land through large projects.

Judging from the situation of the locals just now, they seemed very enthusiastic, which means there is a bit of possibility.

Thinking like this.

Mr. Su had already retreated from "absolutely not" to "it can be seriously considered." Having personally witnessed the local situation, if they owned a brand-new and beautiful town, with beautiful scenery, coupled with shopping malls, schools, etc., there would indeed be an opportunity to attract customers to buy.

His mind was racing, and he fell into silence for a moment.

Su Yehao was actually panicking too.

Earlier, his old boss and the senior secretaries were so enthusiastic, the conversation was so congenial, that he accidentally didn't put on the brakes.

This situation.

It's probably like preparing to buy a motorcycle, then thinking that a car is also good, and then directly going all the way, setting his sights on a BBA... so tempting.

The mainland's real estate market has only started a few years ago. Although there are more real estate companies, there are not many that have become established.

Not to mention a large project of several billion yuan, there are not many that exceed five hundred million.

Fortunately, it's not just bragging. With the scale of Sihai International, as long as he pulls others to help, or invests in phases, it's quite possible to achieve.

Su Yehao had drawn a big pie, and whether it could be successful or not still depended on Mr. Su's ideas.

He found paper and pen, and they discussed it in the hotel.

Starting from the building and building materials field, Mr. Su had a mysterious preference for the real estate industry.

If the project can be successful, the construction area will be at least 1.5 million square meters or more, or even 2 to 3 million square meters, which can cover villas, large apartments, small-sized commercial houses, and capture all customer groups in one fell swoop, and there are commercial properties that can be used for rent collection.

In the past, Mr. Su didn't dare to imagine a super real estate project, but Su Yehao aroused his addiction.

Speaking of courage.

The project on Mid-Levels in Hong Kong, with a joint capital contribution with two partners, a project of just over 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, wasn't it also successfully carried out?

The father and son talked for a full hour.

During this period.

Su Yehao's old man woke up more than once.

...Originally, wasn't he planning to teach his son about armchair strategy, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth?

Why are they chatting so happily?

Never mind.

Getting things done is important.

The mainland's economy is developing rapidly, and the population is so large. As long as he can get good land at a low price, and use shopping malls and tourism to attract potential buyers, it's simply wonderful.

Mr. Su still didn't dare to make a decision, but he was already preparing to continue contacting and seriously discussing it with the locals.

The main thing is to look at the preferential support, there is only a rough idea for the time being.

Su Yehao didn't urge him, lest it be counterproductive.

That night, he was invited to dinner, sitting at the wine table to discuss the project again, it had already become Mr. Su leading, communicating and exchanging ideas.

The next day.

When he rushed to Peng City, which was still a small fishing village in earlier years, and met the person in charge of the reception.

Without his son reminding him, Mr. Su found an opportunity to personally draw the pie.

Talking about the project of building a cultural tourism town on the edge of the bay, opening his mouth with one square kilometer of land, a construction area of 3 million square meters, and a large investment of 4 to 5 billion yuan.

It was purely to create some pressure on both sides through competition, to see where he could give a lower land price.

The more than forty-meter-long Sihai International yacht was transferred to Pengcheng Bay overnight. A group of people stood on the deck of the yacht, inspecting the farmland and wasteland along the coast.

As expected of the old Versailles, Su Yehao didn't expect this skill of flaunting his wealth.

It could be seen that the few people in charge of the reception were shocked by this luxury yacht, instantly raising Mr. Su's image.

Looking at his old man.

That bold and unconstrained manner.

That calmness in treating billions as small change.

He learned again.

Su Yehao smacked his lips repeatedly, lamenting his indelible poverty, even considering being ripped off when buying seafood, so useless.

He really couldn't learn it for a while...
