Chapter 459 Real Estate
With the development of the Internet online news industry, a group of traditional media companies specializing in news have gradually declined, and some companies have begun to develop into the online news business due to the availability of resources.
At the end of last year, Mr. Merkdo of the News Corporation, also proposed to use $1.6 billion to buy Firefly Online News Network as a whole, Su Mu was a little cautious, but considering the long-term interests of the future and the right to speak that he must have, he finally rejected the other party's proposal.
Seeing off the staff of Time Magazine, Su Mu went to the construction site next to the golf course to inspect, some houses are already pasting exterior wall tiles, which are about to be given to the company's employees for free this year, and he is not at ease if he does not see it in person.
On the golf course, someone is swinging, accompanied by a group of people, probably the owner of a company, or an official executive.
Since the golf course in northern Menlo Park was bought by Sumu, the number of golf players has increased as Sumu's fame has grown, and last year there was a tournament where a young man named Woods won first place.
If you don't make a reservation in advance, you probably won't have a chance to rent it, and the price of golfing is rising, and now there are more buildings around, making the area more popular.
Speaking of which, the housing prices near Gates' home have also risen because of the arrival of Gates, and the top rich people have the strength to drive the growth of housing prices.
The reason why I will consider this boring problem is mainly because Su Mu's first real estate in Huaxia officially started construction last week, and the development time was stipulated when the land was acquired, which was regarded as testing the water, and the location of the real estate was in Lujiazui, and he was thinking about how to raise the price of housing.
Housing prices in Silicon Valley are quite high, and the price per square foot in the past two years is even higher than that of downtown San Francisco, Los Angeles is lower, and the most expensive are well-known areas such as the Upper East Side of Manhattan and Beverly Hills.
The annual rent is about one-fifteenth of the house price, and it only takes about 10 to 15 years for people to buy a house.
Compared with the well-established real estate industry in the United States, the land in Huaxia, which is just beginning to develop, contains countless potential buyers.
At that time, the houses were either old or small, and the country did not continue to divide the houses, so you had to pay for them if you wanted them, and the level of urbanization was very low, even in urban areas, old houses were the mainstay, and the market potential was huge.
The middle-aged man named Shi Zhu returned to Nanfang Pengcheng with the start-up capital of Sumu Investment, and the first real estate was still under construction, and it was all sold out.
Although the price is high, the house will be delivered only after it is fully renovated, and many rich people who have made money in the sea but have not enjoyed it much, where can they withstand the temptation of pure European, American, and Nordic minimalist styles.
Without taking out a loan from a bank, more than 900 wealthy people bought all those houses at prices ranging from 400,000 to 1 million yuan, and the second and third real estate projects were also under intense preparation.
After discovering that Shi Zhu was successful, Su Mu immediately asked Jiuzhou Real Estate to start the project in Shanghai, which was positioned extremely high, about 100,000 yuan per square meter, considering the extremely excellent real estate location, I believe it should be able to attract some rich people.
This high-end property is only used to make a name for itself, and when it becomes famous, the company can go elsewhere to develop real estate, and the price can be set slightly higher.
Nowadays, there are many old houses and few new houses in China, and some people have become rich first, which is the best time to develop real estate......
The son went to school, Lily was busy with her clothing, shoes and bags business, Su Mu was idle, but soon he had something to do, and when he arrived at the company, he found a thick pile of documents waiting to be processed by himself, and the meeting appointment had been scheduled for three days.
So many companies, even if they only have two or three small things, the accumulation is a tiring workload.
After receiving the news of Su Mulai's company, Qian Hulberg, the executive of Galaxy Group, quickly walked through the corridor and directly entered Su Mu's office.
He poured himself a cup of coffee, sat down and asked, "Boss, maybe we should add a few more logistics warehouses, preferably each warehouse serves three or four surrounding states, Las Vegas and Hawaii don't need to be considered for the time being, the population is too small." ”
Su Mu found someone at this time, raised his head and stretched, "How much has the sales of Maple Leaf increased?"
"The first quarter report of this year has just come out, and I have already sent someone to deliver it to you, and you haven't seen it yet?" Herberg asked him over coffee.
After hearing this, he rolled his eyes, Su Mu rummaged through it, and said angrily: "The first-quarter business reports of dozens of companies are all on my desk, and I haven't seen anything about Maple Leaf.com, I feel that even if I am busy until twelve o'clock in the evening today, it will be difficult for me to dispose of so many documents, ha!
Herberg said in a strange tone, as if he was laughing at Su Mu, and said: "The people who are bosses are really different, I have to stay up until after three o'clock in the middle of the night for one or two days a week. ”
"Old money, you can't be ungrateful, think about how much money you have in your account before you say this, think about who gave you the house and Rolls-Royce, and then think about who took you in and gave you a job after your father died. ”
Even after these words were spoken, what else could Herberg say? This "working emperor", who is now famous all over the world, is closely related to Su Mu's rise process, and it can be said that it is because of Su Mu's help that he is where he is now.
replied in a suffocated tone: "Leon, it's my fault, how can a part-time worker be qualified to complain." ”
Su Muke ignored him, and after reading the briefing on the Maple Leaf Shopping Network, he changed the topic and said: "The sales in the first quarter of this year increased by 8.9% compared with the end of last year, which is a very good result. My old assistant is okay lately, it seems like I haven't seen him in a while. ”
He was referring to his former assistant Alan, the one who had stayed with Su Mu for several years.
Now Assistant Allen manages two companies, namely E-Wallet and Maple Leaf.com, and the report cards handed over are quite good.
Herberg nodded and said, "He recently went to Washington for a meeting on the security of online payment procedures, and those guys in Washington, D.C., were always idle and didn't even worry about the banks, but they jumped out to torture us first." ”
Su Mu remembered that he should have attended this hearing held by Congress, and shrugged his shoulders: "No way, who made us forget that someone would use it to launder money......
