"A 23-storey hotel?" the secretary general of the municipal party committee crossed his hands, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Yes, a 23-storey hotel and a 200-acre artificial lake. Li Yuming, a Chinese-French architect, gave a definite answer and gestured in front of the 5-meter-wide model. His Chinese level is average, a little blunt, and has some weird rap sounds, but the more so, the more the staff of the municipal party committee and the municipal government pay more attention to him, and Ji Runzhi, who is purely Chinese, although he is the head of the investment company, is naturally thrown aside.

Of course, everyone values the most is the foreigner Bruce on the side, but unfortunately people don't understand Chinese and don't like to talk.

Ji Runzhi is not surprised by the situation in front of him, he is an extremely smart and flexible person, when he first met with the staff of the Beijing municipal government, and after seeing the disappointment in the eyes of the other party, he immediately hired Bruce from the United States and pushed him to the front desk. The director of this small company is willing to spend a year in China with an annual salary of $80,000. And his white skin also swept all the doors for Ji Runzhi, saving hundreds of hours of time.

Li Yuming, who is of mixed Chinese and French descent, was able to stand out in the fierce competition and win the contract, in addition to the good design drawings, it is also very related to his French ancestry, and it turns out that in the process of explaining the design, Li Yuming's indistinct words speak in Chinese, which is more resonant than Ji Runzhi and Bruce's words.

The secretary general of the municipal party committee next to him asked Li Yuming a few more questions, then looked around the model and said, "23 floors, is it 75 meters high?"

"Yes, there's a tower up there. ”

"Why don't you make 100 meters?" said the Secretary-General, in high spirits.

Li Yuming frowned and asked, "Why do you want to make 100 meters?"

Ji Runzhi stopped him and said, "100 meters is no problem." So, the land of the cotton textile mill can be given to us?"

Before the secretary general of the municipal party committee could speak, Li Yuming said very unhappily: "How can you say that the building drawings can be changed, and the height of 25 meters needs to be redesigned, and what is the need to do so, it will only increase the construction cost." ”

Li Yuming is not an employee of Dahua Investment, Ji Runzhi had to change his serious and serious tone, and said in French: "Mr. Li Yuming, as long as we get this land, we will agree to the other party's small request." We will make up for the increased design cost as a result. ”

"It's not about money, every building has a soul, you can't just raise her and shorten it. ”

"If that's the case, I can only regret to announce that the contract has been terminated. Ji Runzhi was crisp and neat, without the slightest hesitation.

Li Yuming didn't expect his reaction to be so fierce, and hurriedly shouted in French: "How can you casually terminate my contract." ”

"It is you who breached the contract and refused to modify the design drawing, and our contract is very clear that you have to bear all the losses caused thereby. ”

Li Yuming looked at Ji Runzhi's expression, knowing that he was playing for real, he couldn't help but scold the "capitalist", and didn't talk about the soul of the building, shook his head and said: "Okay, it's just 100 meters, I'll do it." ”

"That's for the best. "Ji Runzhi has always spoken French. After making it clear, he said to the Secretary-General and his party in Chinese: "If Your Excellency can sell us the land of the cotton textile mill, Dahua Investment will redesign and build the Carpuses Manor Hotel at a height of 100 meters." ”

"In principle, there is no problem with giving you land, but the situation of the cotton textile factory, you also know, although the workshop has been discontinued, but scattered or scattered still live hundreds of households, my opinion, the cotton textile factory has 1,200 acres of land, 100 acres are set aside next to it, you will build a family area, anyway, the construction team will come over, and it is convenient to build. ”

Ji Runzhi put away his smile, shook his head lightly and said, "There are too many contradictions in the demolition, and our company can't afford it." We hope that the government will sell the restructured land to us directly, or choose another plot. ”

The secretary general said a little unhappily: "Other plots? This is the edge of the second ring road, there are nearly 1,000 acres of factory area vacant, and if you want to choose, you can only go to the third ring road." ”

"As far as I know, there are at least three more options within the Second Ring Road. Ji Runzhi beckoned, and someone immediately laid out a map. On the high-scale map of Bei*Jing, there are three large circles that are pulled out.

In Beijing in the early 90s, the real estate industry had not yet started the construction tide in full swing, the demand for land was not high, and there were not a few state-owned enterprises that stopped production and closed down. If the wave of state-owned enterprise closures at the end of the 80s was mainly concentrated in prefecture and county state-owned enterprises, then the wave of state-owned enterprise closures in the early 90s began to spread across the country. With the decline of large state-owned enterprises, tens of thousands of enterprises can make the responsible leaders cry just by their wages.

Although Ji Runzhi is demanding, he has also found 4 large factories that are on the verge of bankruptcy.

The secretary general looked down, and the three places were indeed municipal enterprises, and he was naturally clear about the situation. Although these three factories are working, they are also doing one piece to pay one and supporting the workers, and the city has long discussed letting them go bankrupt and transform.

The other party has done this work, and he has nothing to say, saying: "I'll try it, but it is completely demolished by the government, and our work is also difficult to do." ”

"Secretary-General, I am waiting for your news, and as soon as something happens, I will fly over immediately. Ji Runzhi smiled as if unintentionally and said, "I was supposed to stay in Beijing, but the company still has business in Qingdao and Guangzhou, and I have to go over tomorrow." ”

The secretary general furrowed his brows and said, "You haven't decided which city to build a hotel in?"

"Our company plans to build about 5 high-end hotels and about 100 chain hotels within two years, so Qing*dao and Guangzhou*zhou are talking about their hotel projects, and whether they can be negotiated or not, it will not affect the project in Beijing. ”

"Oh, 5 premium hotels, where are the other two?"

"Shanghai and Shenzhen. ”

"It's also a seventy or eighty meter tall building?"

"The 5 hotel plans are different. Shanghai *hai is preparing to focus on the concept of mansions, and will make dozens of mansion-type houses, just like the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. Blue * Island is a coastal concept, and we are ready to buy a private beach. Probably only the hotels in Shenzhen and Guangzhou will be taller, but it should not be 100 meters high. ”

What Ji Runzhi said had no effect, and the secretary-general's heart was still tight. He was afraid that the outcome of the negotiations in other cities would affect the negotiations in the capital.

As an official, he knows better than anyone the concept of a 100-meter-tall building.

This isn't a TV tower, it's a real building. The just-completed Bei*Jing Lufthansa Center, which can be regarded as a representative of new buildings in the last two years, consists of three ground buildings, including the five-star Kempinski Hotel, Lufthansa Friendship Shopping Center, apartments and office buildings, covering an area of 160,000 square meters, but the height of the main building is only 54.5 meters high, with three underground floors and 18 floors above ground.

100 meters is not said to be the tallest building in Beijing, but it can also be regarded as a landmark building, according to domestic standards, more than 100 meters, it is a super high-rise building, and it is possible to say that it is the tallest building during the current government. Although such a building will not have any direct impact on the main leaders of Beijing, it will still have a certain amount of bonus points for the officials who handle this matter.

In any case, the addition of a landmark in the city not only did not make the government pay more, but also made money, and this alone is enough for officials to go crazy.

Not to mention Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Shenzhen, their administrative level is lower than that of Beijing, and the benefits they get from urban construction are higher, and they may be willing to accept more harsh conditions, and when the time comes, Dahua Investment's thinking may also change.

The secretary general thought about it, and felt that he couldn't just let Ji Runzhi go, so he waved his hand and said: "How about you stay for another day? I'll report to the secretary, as long as you are sincere in coming to Beijing to invest, it is not impossible for the government to demolish this bad guy." ”

Speaking of the back, he also smiled through jokes to ease the atmosphere of suitable talents.

"You're doing it for everyone's good, too. Ji Runzhi immediately followed and said: "We Dahua can prepare a special amount for the demolition, in addition to the construction costs of the new residential building, the demolition family can also get the rental fee on a monthly basis, but the main body of the demolition, please also ask the government to come forward, after all, our company comes forward to negotiate something, there are many disadvantages." ”

"Well...... "The secretary general doesn't really care much about the demolition. In the early 90s, many residents were willing to be demolished. Because the housing conditions at this time are generally poor, and the conditions of the new houses are generally better, many people are willing to live farther away for new houses. There are even residents of Bei*Beijing, Shang*hai, who spontaneously pay for their belongings and exchange their old houses in the city center for new houses in the suburbs.

In 92 years, not only did there be no concept of school district housing, the conditions of many houses were also quite poor, there was no kitchen and bathroom of the bungalow and the tube building was a common residential building at this time, a slightly better bungalow had a kitchen, but only the shared dry toilet, the later built tube building with a bathroom may not have a kitchen, several families cooked in the corridor, day by day, not to mention the contradictions, the surrounding environment is not much better.

Even if there is an old house with a bathroom and a kitchen, the area is often very small, about 40 square meters of one-bedroom room is a common room type at this time, with the age of the owner of the house, there are not a few people who live in the same house for three generations or even four generations.

Such conditions make normal demolition a desirable thing. Of course, the more people expect to attract attention, the more likely it is that all kinds of contradictions will evolve.

Ji Runzhi raised his hands to agree with the request not to participate in the demolition, and saw that the secretary general was a little relieved, thought about it, and simply said: "Secretary General, our company has invested great energy in the construction of the hotel, and we plan to be a five-star hotel and four four-star hotels in the five high-end hotels in China. If the city can approve the land for us in the short term, I can make the decision and put the five-star hotel in Beijing. ”

"Like Kempinski?"

"It's not bad. ”

"Then it's a word, you wait for my news. The Secretary-General said no more, although he knew that a 100-meter-high building could only be worthy of a five-star hotel, but the certainty and conjecture were still different.

"Thank you so much. By the way, we also want to choose another 10 to 20 plots to be a chain hotel, this ......"

The secretary general waved his hand generously and said: "You pick your own place, preferably a vacant plot, if you want to demolish it, look at it again." ”

"That's great, we try to choose vacant land, and the chain hotel only needs one or two hundred acres. Ji Runzhi's face was not red and his heart was not beating.

More than enough.

A normal chain hotel, with two acres of land, should be snickering. In the future, the four-star and five-star hotels in the city may not necessarily have 200 acres of land, and if real estate is developed in the future, 200 acres of land can be used as two communities.

In order to make the most of this land, Ji Runzhi has already made plans to build a chain hotel brand with the concept of "urban resort......

In terms of time, this is probably the last time that Chinese businessmen have wasted land.
