Chapter 1 Laying Out Another Cultural Tourism City

Su Yehao had never discussed his plan to build another cultural tourism city with his father.

Like an unscrupulous intermediary, he planned to lure Donghuang Group in through Zhao Yimeng, and then turn around and negotiate with his father.

Sihai International couldn't come up with that much money for the time being, but Su Yehao himself had connected with the Bank of China. Investing in the mainland with loans wouldn't be a problem, which was much more reliable than the First National Bank.

After all, this time he was planning to invest in the mainland. As long as the higher-ups nodded in agreement, the bank would definitely not object. Anyway, even if the business failed, the loss would be contained within the family.

In this era, banks had high savings but few loans. When it came to large projects involving billions, even if Su Yehao wanted to take on a cultural tourism city alone, someone might dare to approve the loan for him. After all, his personal foundation was already quite substantial, only his debt ratio was a bit high.

Feeling that investing in the Internet in the short term would yield more profits, Su Yehao didn't have the idea of going it alone. Coincidentally, he met Donghuang Group, which had some cash on hand after selling off some assets. A three-way cooperation could achieve a win-win situation.

First, Sihai International could utilize its idle funds and continue to profit from investments.

Whether it was purchasing the land on the edge of Shenzhen Bay or investing in Meidi Group some time ago, most of the funds were actually obtained through bank loans. Otherwise, Su's father wouldn't have lent Su Yehao a large sum of money recently.

Second, Su Yehao himself could get something for nothing, continuing to use the bank's money to achieve a low-cost layout of Guangzhou's land assets, waiting for appreciation and profit.

Borrowing one billion RMB from the bank now, as long as it was well-planned, might bring in tens of billions of RMB in net profit in five years.

Buying land in Lujiazui and planning to invest in building office buildings was just to indulge himself.

Investing in residential projects, on the other hand, could definitely be treated as a high-quality project with ten thousand times the profit. The development and turnover speed was faster than commercial real estate projects. Without waiting for the former to be completed, he could immediately continue financing and acquiring land.

At this critical moment when the mainland real estate industry was just welcoming a spring rain, Su Yehao was confident that he could rely on his strong capital to seize a large piece of the pie for his family.

Less than a year after acquiring land in Shenzhen, the land for the cultural tourism city project had already appreciated slightly.

When the financial crisis passed and Hong Kong's property prices began to recover, along with the rise of the mainland economy, it was expected that the land in Shenzhen alone could bring billions in profits to Sihai International.

It was indeed a good business...

After a brief chat, he conveyed his intention to cooperate.

Su Yehao found that Zhao Yimeng seemed a little interested and had already begun planning to mention it to her father, lest Zhao Yimeng's parents bypass him, the intermediary, and directly contact Su's father, which would expose him.

They drank while eating.

Zhao Yimeng asked Jiang Yu, "Is he usually busy at home?"

"Busy? Busy with what? Lying down, spacing out, and sleeping?" Jiang Yu decisively said, "Even when he goes to the United States to discuss business, he takes the time to travel to San Francisco and New York. He lives a more comfortable life than anyone else."

After hearing this, Zhao Yimeng began to wonder and directly asked Su Yehao, "Then how are you so amazing that you suddenly made so much money?"

"... It's not exactly sudden, is it? It's been a little over a year since I started investing. The difference is that others earn hard-earned money, while I earn money with my brain, so I can always be a few steps ahead of others. This way, I don't have to face competition or encounter too much trouble. For example, in the Internet business, while some people hesitate and struggle, unable to make up their minds, I've already put the money in my pocket."

Su Yehao tasted the Chateau Mouton Rothschild red wine, held up his glass to the light, and examined it. The color was a deep red.

A bottle of red wine cost twenty-eight thousand yuan. He really couldn't tell the difference between various red wines.

This thing was similar to other luxury goods. Most of the price was brand and reputation. The little girl had bought a lot of Chanel and Dior clothes, which basically had to be thrown away after washing once or twice. In terms of quality, they were not as good as street stalls.

However, these things did bring a sense of superiority, but Su Yehao had reached a point where he no longer cared about other people's so-called luxury goods.

Even supercars weren't considered luxury to him. Mansions, private planes, super yachts, top-tier jewelry, etc., were. Everyone's situation was different, and they would always take things that were easily obtained for granted.

Zhao Yimeng felt offended by his words.

She said calmly, "I admit that I withdrew too early, but that's because your stock entry price was low, so it didn't matter even if the profits fell back a bit. But when I partnered with you, it was already a bit late, so it's normal to worry, right?"

"You've already withdrawn, so there's no point in regretting it now. It's better not to think about the gains and losses."

Su Yehao said with a smile, then added insult to injury and mentioned, "Others run on the mountainside, run on the mountaintop, but you're good, you run away at the foot of the mountain. When the real bull market comes, you don't have to consider price-to-earnings ratios, value investing, historical prices, just hold the stocks and contracts in your hands. In your case, it's actually right to be stable. More important than how much money you make is achieving the long-term inheritance of wealth, so you don't end up like some people who haven't died yet, but their money is already spent. In this case, investing in real estate projects in the mainland is obviously more suitable for you, and Donghuang also has experience in this industry."

Zhao Yimeng, who had been feeling annoyed recently for running too early and missing out on a large profit, felt that Su Yehao was indeed a disappointment.

Because Su Yehao had been relatively successful, Zhao Yimeng subconsciously looked for the rationality of success in him and thought it was worth learning.

However, Su Yehao was actually using a cheat. Others couldn't learn from his situation.

Zhao Yimeng wanted to summarize the experience of success from him, but of course, she wouldn't succeed. Looking at Su Yehao's usual life, he really just idled around and accompanied girls most of the time. He couldn't be said to be diligent or shrewd, but others just couldn't compare to him.

Jiang Yu ate quietly.

With her understanding of Zhao Yimeng, how could she not see the obvious change compared to when Su Yehao pestered Zhao Yimeng in his early years?

Now it was more like Miss Zhao was interested in Su Yehao, but this big radish was putting on airs.

While finding it interesting, Jiang Yu was also secretly learning Su Yehao's investment experience. In fact, she had already taken all of the more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in her small treasury to buy Yahoo stock, and had earned 70,000 to 80,000 yuan so far. She had never mentioned it to Su Yehao, lest she be laughed at, which would dampen her enthusiasm for financial management.

After conveying his intention and eating and drinking his fill, Zhao Yimeng took Jiang Yu shopping, and didn't intend to bring Su Yehao, the third wheel, at all, only telling him to be careful on the way home.

The little girl wasn't at home, and there was nothing to do at home.

Su Yehao simply went to Nong Qingying, took a nap at her place, and went to KOKO Ventures headquarters together in the afternoon to discuss the decision to establish a Silicon Valley branch.

And tAt, continued to be unique in the mainland instant messaging market, with the number of weekly active users breaking new highs again and again. Recently, it also received an advertisement for the Xiaobawang game console, trying to promote it in personal spaces.

One advertisement, hanging for a week, earned a total of 150,000 RMB.

The money wasn't much, but it made Su Yehao smile from ear to ear. He finally saw some return money and had a good start...
