Chapter 201 The Rugged Real Estate Circle
When Su Yehao accompanied his father to the construction site, he saw many tractors.
Compared with trucks, cheap and durable tractors are still the mainstream for construction site transportation. The price of a load of soil ranges from five to ten yuan, depending on the length of the transportation distance.
The earthwork business can make money on both ends. It was not easy to encounter a large project, and many people took the initiative to come and talk about business. The soil within a dozen kilometers was transported over, and a small piece of tideland had already been filled in just a few days.
Unlike other plots of land, the land acquired this time was a bit troublesome, and the area requiring land reclamation was large. The budget for leveling alone would cost tens of millions of yuan.
This was nothing, though. This point was taken into consideration when the land was acquired, and the land price was discounted, which was still very cost-effective.
As soon as the project started, it was targeted by countless construction teams and building material merchants. Hearing his father talk about the many businesses to be negotiated this time, Su Yehao asked:
"Will our own construction team come this time? We must arrange a few reliable supervisors, otherwise it would be good even if the money is lost. Once corners are cut during construction, our reputation will be completely ruined."
"Do I need you to remind me of this kind of thing?"
Su's father patted his stomach and explained: "Local labor costs are affordable, and it's not cost-effective to bring our own people, so I only plan to arrange dozens or hundreds of experienced masters to come over, both to keep an eye on things for me and to give them a good meal. I've bet my life on this project, and I'll personally handle everything. If anyone dares to cheat me, I'll skin them alive!"
Speaking of this, Su's father then said: "By the way, accompany me to look at a house later. I should be living here often in the future, so I plan to buy a house temporarily, just somewhere close to here."
When it came to buying a house, Su Yehao immediately perked up.
He volunteered to say to his father: "I've learned about Pengcheng's housing market before. Several high-end villa projects should have been launched. I'll pick one for you, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Well, that's fine. Anyway, it's just for temporary use. It's best to be able to move in as soon as possible, I'm not looking for luxury..."
Today the weather was clear.
It was a little after ten o'clock in the morning, and the air was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees after mowing.
The land that cost more than 1.7 billion to acquire was now really just a large area of wasteland, with nothing to see.
The golf course to the west had already been built. While his father went to discuss serious business with others, Su Yehao wandered around the course.
It was extravagant to build a golf course covering a total area of 1.5 million square meters in this place that would be worth a fortune in the future.
After the Sihai International Cultural Tourism City is built, this golf course will be like the back garden of his own project. Considering that the return on investment is too low, Su Yehao had no intention of persuading his father to build one as well, or to find a way to invest in acquiring this place.
After asking a passerby, he learned that there were some guest rooms in the club's clubhouse that were exclusively for members, a total of thirty-five rooms.
In fact, it would be a little more convenient for his father to live here in the future, check in at any time, and have someone responsible for cleaning every day.
But Su Yehao still decided to buy a house. He finally found a reason to spend money, and besides, there was an opportunity for substantial appreciation, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity to have fun.
So he called his father, explained where he was going, and then Su Yehao left by car.
He asked the local driver who was responsible for driving, where the houses were better now. Speaking of the projects that had recently opened, the best would naturally be near Yinhu. In 1994, there were villas with an average price of 19,000 yuan, and recently there were new projects shouting out a price of 20,000, striving to be Pengcheng's "Mid-Levels Rich Area."
It sounded pretty good, but the location was too far, so Su Yehao decisively gave up.
The driver thought again, and then mentioned Guishan Villas near Shekou, which was said to be specially designed for foreign investors and top rich people.
Su Yehao decided to go and see.
When he arrived at the sales office, it was just lunchtime. He was led by a young girl to have a meal and introduced that the entire project planned a total of thirty-three detached villas and sixteen townhouses, with a selling price of 16,000 yuan per square meter. A full payment could enjoy a discount.
The price of villas and ordinary commercial housing was very different. A house cost several million, which he could afford, but Su Yehao always felt it was not cost-effective.
First, the plot ratio was large, second, the appreciation space was limited, and third, the house shape was ordinary.
Three reasons were enough for him to wipe his mouth and leave after eating, without even leaving a phone number, and went directly to the adjacent Jingshan Villas, and then realized that this place was only for rent and not for sale, which was specially developed for foreign businessmen.
After going around, he couldn't find a house that satisfied him, so Su Yehao simply went back to the construction site and muttered to himself: "It's all a little bit off, my vision has finally become higher. It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality..."
The driver was speechless.
In the driver's eyes, he didn't even dare to dream of the Guishan Villas just now, but this young master in the back row didn't even like it.
Thinking about it, it was right. His identity and status were here, and he must have seen a lot of luxury houses in Hong Kong and Casino, so he was more picky.
This middle-aged driver told him with a smile: "If you can't find a house you like, then develop it yourself. Our small place has only been developing for a few years, and the grade is not high enough. I heard that the price of buying an old house in Hong Kong is ten times more expensive than ours."
"...I'm not talking about the grade, it's purely that the design style and planning are a bit off, and the sense of luxury is not created, and the price is too much higher than the average price."
"It's really expensive. Most of these houses are sold to rich people like you. They will definitely try to rip you off. The new house I bought, a two-bedroom apartment, only cost 200,000 yuan, and it even came with an air conditioner." The driver had never dealt with a young master of Su Yehao's level before, and he was a little restrained when he spoke, clearly treating Su Yehao as a fool.
Su Yehao asked with interest: "Where did you buy the house?"
"Taoyuan, Xixiang. You probably haven't heard of it."
There was a discrepancy between the previously understood data and the actual situation. For example, when statistics were priced, generally only the surrounding average price was noted.
Housing reform was still continuing, the price difference between new and old houses was huge, and the price difference between ordinary commercial housing and villas was equally astonishing. Obviously, it was in a period of rough development.
Su Yehao nipped the idea of buying a house for his father in the bud. Hotels, golf club clubhouses, yachts, where couldn't people live?
Instead of spending a few million to buy a villa, it would be better to buy a dilapidated old house and wait for demolition, or simply raise more money to participate in land auctions and hoard land for slow development.
Villas with too little room for appreciation... what's the point of buying them?
Anyway, after his own project is completed, he can choose from more than 100 villas, so there is no shortage at all.
After meeting with his father, Su Yehao told him that the house price was too high and not cost-effective, and then continued to go out to go shopping in the city center.
A banner hung on the side of the road, which read: "Those who come to Pengcheng are all national elites!"
The chicken soup was delicious, but unfortunately, the vast majority of people who came to venture out were destined not to get rich.
Su Yehao was different. He had already planned to take the opportunity to rent a building and continue to build a tAt R&D center...
