Chapter 416: Change
Compared with the first time I came to China a few years ago, the country is undergoing rapid changes, whether it is the roads around the airport or the houses, it has changed a lot.
Some dilapidated old houses have been demolished and turned into new apartment buildings, and when Su Mu's car passes by, you can still see red banners that read, "Two thousand eight per square meter!"
It doesn't seem to be easy to sell, because a salesman is handing out flyers on the side of the road, and passers-by are not interested in it, even if someone asks, they are surprised and ask: "A set of more than 300,000 yuan?
The national welfare housing policy was canceled, and the house became a commodity and began to circulate in the market, precisely because the profit was too low, far below Su Mu's psychological expected price, so he hoarded a lot of land but was not busy with development, waiting for the house price to rise.
Judging from the current level of urbanization, if the future development of China's economy is good enough, it will inevitably lead to the rise of housing prices in important cities.
I still remember that in 1984, the most heard sentence on the radio was that the housing prices had risen again, including the Chinese in the United States, all had an almost perverted obsession with real estate, and the places such as Yuben and South Korea, which were too deeply influenced by Chinese culture, were similar.
In fact, in developed countries in Europe and the United States, people do not value real estate, the average age of buying a house is about 40 years old, before that they prefer to live the life they like, do not want to be dragged down by the mortgage to lower the quality of life, and do not need to think about the house for future generations.
If you have the ability, you can buy a set, or help pay some down payment, and if you don't have the ability, you just leave it alone, but that is their offspring's own life, and parents are not obliged to take care of their children for a lifetime, as long as they take care of adulthood.
His motorcade drove through the streets, attracting a lot of attention, maybe a few Rolls-Royce, or the Rolls-Royce with American license plates was too ostentatious.
Su Mu's name has long spread all over the Shanghai market, who doesn't know that a young Chinese richest man in the world spent billions of yuan to build the world's tallest building next to the Oriental Pearl in Lujiazui?
Now that the vast majority of local residents are struggling to spend 100,000 yuan, they actually meet a super-rich man worth more than 200 billion yuan, and when they encounter other vehicles in his car, they hurriedly get out of the way.
Su Mu's Jiuzhou Group headquarters is located on the Bund, specifically vacating the Bund 12 building for his company, now the number of employees is increasing, the internal space is a little small, and after the building on the other side of the river is built, it will choose a few floors for its own use, and the rest of the external rental part, there are more than 20 floors for operating hotels, shopping malls and the like, and the top floor is the apartment left by Su Mu for himself, on the 158th floor.
Standing at the door of the Bund No. 12 and looking at the other side, the high-rise building has been half built, and the Oriental Pearl Tower, which will soon exceed more than 460 meters, has just come from Nanjing Road, and there are several high-end shopping malls on that road that belong to Su Mu's private ownership, because he felt that there would be development prospects in the future, so he bought more real estate, and there is no real estate tax, and the bank also provides loan services, which is more cost-effective.
Jiuzhou Group, now has become the highest market value of foreign-funded enterprises in China, his vicious investment vision has made many Wall Street people talk, in recent years to invest in the number of foreign companies in Huaxia is a lot, but in addition to some automobile companies, equipment manufacturers, most of them are a little "unsuitable", they are trying to get inspiration from the success of Sumu, it is really useful.
As the agenda of China's accession to the WTO has been finalized, more and more businessmen have set their sights on this incomparably huge market, and the White House has also breathed a sigh of relief, because they are very afraid of facing the "sharp weapon of war" like the Soviet Union again, believing that once they integrate into the world economy, they will be able to obediently act according to the ideas of the United States in the future, even if they get economic development opportunities because of this, it doesn't matter, and more people think that it is just a second India or Mexico, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.
The economy has grown faster in the last two years than in the entire 80s combined, and it is clear that there are more cars on the road, clothes are more fashionable, there are still queues at the entrance of KFC, and the number of shops has become more numerous.
The rapid economic development is also good for Su Mu, whether it is the home appliance manufacturing industry or daily necessities, the sales volume is increasing significantly, and he earns more money when he sells more things.
With the deepening of the reform, state-owned banks, insurance companies, etc. have also been restructured, and the capital of various countries has been moved, and Su Mu has also successfully got a piece of the pie, and is ready to invest more money in it.
Bund 12, in Su Mu's opinion, this building is the most beautiful, followed by the building of the Peace Hotel, but it is only beautiful in appearance, and the interior decoration style is a little old, especially compared with some top hotels, it is slightly worse than the five-star standard.
The recent new buildings, Su Mu felt that there was no feature at all, the local people like to demolish the old houses, but the practice of replacing them with ordinary buildings, really made him can't figure it out, at a glance it is all the same buildings, maybe I have been to New York and London, I like to stay on the Bund.
There is a mural on the dome at the entrance to Building 12, which is said to have been covered a few years ago and later restored, and after taking over the building, Su Mu had people come and renovate it inside and out, and it was very luxurious under the faint yellow light.
Employees who can be recruited by Jiuzhou Group are the elite of the elite, those who have overseas study experience and foreign company work experience will be given priority to recruit, 10,000 US dollars annual salary plus commission, which is nothing in Silicon Valley, but in today's Shanghai market, it is a very rare high-paying enterprise, every time the recruitment news is released, there are thousands of registration forms received!
There are many benefits of spending more money, at least the ability is not bad, the coastal provinces have sent special personnel to manage the company's business, and the branches also need to be kept an eye on, and now the accounts of the state-owned enterprises are simply a mess, and there are many company leaders who abuse their private rights, and almost all the executives of those companies that have been injected by Jiuzhou Group have been sent to prison.
Su Muke no matter how big the other party's background is, since it has started to be marketized, it should be in accordance with the regulations, several major accounting firms have maintained cooperative relations with him, and the accounts that should be checked are the same, and only after real contact did he find out how bad the situation was......
