Chapter 28 Intercept Hu Tomson's Product!
September 1994
Jia Lei really stayed in the capital for a long time this time, so long that the lawsuit of the century between Oriental Plaza and McDonald's was over!
Under the mediation of Goldman Sachs, the developers of Oriental Plaza paid tens of millions of dollars to get McDonald's to agree to abandon the store on Chang'an Avenue and move 50 meters to the north to reopen a new store there.
However, McDonald's will not move out until the new store is renovated, and the old McDonald's store in Wangfujing will still be open until then.
"McDonald's is really good at calculus, this time it not only forced the Dongcheng District government to approve a new piece ......of land for itself and took so much cash, but also sold a bullied little poor White Lotus character in the world! All the benefits are taken by itself," Jia Lei said speechlessly, putting down an English newspaper.
A foreign newspaper actually published an aerial photo of the Wangfujing plot that has been demolished into ruins and the McDonald's that still stands on it from the perspective of the sky. Then, in the newspapers, it was implied that the Chinese government was bullying people, which was the most common Chinese threat theory abroad.
"Huh...... If even McDonald's suffers a loss in the Oriental Plaza development project, then no one in the world will be able to take advantage!" Mayor Zhao said with a sneer.
McDonald's has now not only made a lot of money, but also a good piece of land in Wangfujing, and in a few years with the development speed of the capital, McDonald's will be able to use this new land to knock out a huge amount of money from the district government!
How much money did I spend on the Oriental Plaza project, and how much did I suffer! As a result, I haven't earned a penny, but McDonald's has easily made dozens or hundreds of times more profits!" Jia Lei said enviously and hatefully, sure enough, McDonald's is the most successful real estate developer in the world.
"Jia Lei, I didn't say you, the project of Oriental Plaza is so complicated, you dare to go up and intervene, are you impatient?" Mayor Zhao said to Jia Lei earnestly.
"I know how complicated the Oriental Plaza project is, but it's so good that I can't hold this piece of land on Chang'an Avenue, how can I let it go!
As long as the Oriental Plaza project can be completed, then I will be able to make hundreds or even thousands of times the profit from it in the future, so I will not quit even if the knife holder is on my neck now. Jia Lei said in a firm tone.
"Do you really know how complicated this project is? Some things are not as simple as you seem, and you can't just look at the Oriental Plaza development from a commercial point of view. Mayor Zhao reminded Jia Lei.
"Of course, I know how complex the background of the Oriental Plaza project is!
In this case, Li Ka-shing's Hutchison, Wong Po and Cheung Kong have more than 50% of the shares in the project, and my Blackstone Investment Group has a full 25% stake in the project.
But in the end, the right to speak in this Oriental Plaza was taken away by the Dong family, and the Dong family finally named the real estate project Oriental Plaza with less than 10% of the shares, which shows that money is the least worth mentioning in this development case. I have a spectrum in my heart!" Jia Lei rolled his eyes and said.
Although Jia Lei felt that he was very aggrieved this time, he didn't get the last bit of voice after spending so much money, but Jia Lei was somewhat comforted to see that the richest man on Hong Kong Island in front of him had invested more than half of his investment, and he still didn't have a name in this project.
Sometimes there is a contrast to be comforted!
Although Jia Lei feels that he is quite miserable, as long as someone is worse than him, Jia Lei can accept the final result!
What kind of family is the Dong family?
That is the future ruler of Hong Kong Island, and the Chinese government is now desperate to establish good relations with the politicians on Hong Kong Island so that there can be a smooth transition when the return comes.
Otherwise, how could the Huaxia government take out the feng shui treasure of Chang'an Avenue Shangde to outsiders, this is the sincerity and attitude of the Huaxia government to the political and business circles on Hong Kong Island.
The Chinese government respects the party's politicians, businessmen, and ordinary people very much, and in the future, the two sides of the strait will be one family without distinguishing from each other.
"Hey, since you have everything in your heart, then why do you want to take refuge in the countryside of our Pearl City from the capital?" Mayor Zhao asked Jia Lei with a roll of his eyes.
Jia Lei came back by plane two nights ago, and when he came back, he was still sneaky, and he didn't tell anyone, and he was quite embarrassed and fled.
"I'm not coming back for refuge, I'm coming back...... Come back to help you?" Jia Lei rolled his eyes and explained that he would not admit such a humiliating thing as taking refuge.
However, the current secretary of Jingcheng is really not small, he is a leader at the level of the X Central Committee, Jia Lei will certainly find trouble with Jia Lei this time.
The capital is one acre and three points of land for that Lord Chen, and it would be easier for him to find trouble with Jia Lei in the capital, so after Jia Lei got into trouble, he immediately withdrew from the capital with people and returned to Mingzhu City to take refuge.
At least on one acre and three points of land in Mingzhu City, Jia Lei doesn't have to worry about someone coming to him for trouble!
"What can you do me for? As long as you don't mess with me, I'll be thankful!" Mayor Zhao said with a headache, his godson's trouble is getting bigger and bigger.
"Why can't I help you, aren't you Pudong engaged in large-scale development? Isn't your city government short of money?" Jia Lei asked with a look in his eyes.
94 is the early stage of investment in the development of Pudong, and Pearl City is now full of gold, so the people offended by Jia Lei did not hide abroad directly, but ran back to Pearl City to engage in business.
"The main target of Pudong's large-scale development is foreign-funded enterprises, what is the matter with you coming here to intervene?
I don't want to be told that I opened the back door for you to let you rely on nepotism to get to power, the central government just sent a discipline inspection commission and an investigation team two days ago to supervise our work of attracting investment in the Pudong Development Zone, and I don't dare to commit a crime against the wind at this time. Zhao Shi said with a headache that he knew that Jia Lei came back to make trouble for himself.
"Oh my God! I just got rid of the tricky things in the Wangfujing demolition case in the capital, did the central government send the investigation team to Mingzhu City so quickly to supervise and prevent it?" Jia Lei asked in disbelief, he didn't believe that the Huaxia government's efficiency was so fast.
"Did you poke the matter of the Wangfujing demolition case? Tell me what kind of basket you stabbed this time?" Mayor Zhao asked anxiously when he heard this, and he had a hunch that Jia Lei's disaster this time might be a bit big.
"It's not a big deal!
It's that when I was helping others move, I found a little bit of a little cat in the demolition office, an old gentleman's family was demolished more than a dozen houses this time, but in the end they got a two-bedroom resettlement house, this number is obviously wrong?
Then I mentioned this matter to Mr. Wang in a humble manner, and asked him to help carefully investigate what was going on in this resettlement house. As a result, it doesn't matter what this investigation is, it turns out that there is more than one case of this kind of mess in the Oriental Plaza demolition case. Jia Lei said weakly, he didn't expect to stab a big man with a few words of his own.
"Aren't all the houses now owned by the state, and if the demolition site has not been renovated, it is normal for the 13 houses to be divided into a two-bedroom apartment for the original owner after being demolished according to the capitation.
Some of the demolition standards in our Pudong development case also use this kind of policy of dividing houses according to capitation, what can be the fuss here?" Mayor Zhao asked anxiously.
They also used this method of counting bricks and dividing resettlement houses according to the number of people in the development of Pudong, and if this policy is not reliable, the city government will have to think of a new policy immediately.
"The ones you are talking about are public housing, since the house belongs to the state, then the state can deal with it and how to divide the housing, and ordinary employees will never dare to have an opinion!
But the situation in the capital is different from yours, and the house of the family who had the accident is a private property right house given by the state after the implementation of the policy.
Although this kind of private property is now rare, it is not absolutely non-existent, can the final treatment of private housing and public housing be the same?
Later, Wang Lao found out that the people of the district government deliberately made a ghost in order to invite merit, and the people of the district government said that Mr. Teng had voluntarily given up four sets of resettlement houses with three-bedroom property rights and chose a small two-bedroom house.
But in fact, there was no such thing at all, and Mr. Teng had never heard of himself having four three-bedroom resettlement houses. In this demolition process, there are many similar voluntary things, so that the demolition and relocation office can save a lot of demolition fees and resettlement houses.
It's a pity that Mr. Teng is also a famous person in the capital, as soon as he heard about the 4 resettlement houses, he immediately ran to complain, and then the matter became big......" Jia Lei said speechlessly.
Jia Lei sometimes really thinks that the people in the Dongcheng District Government are very stupid, everyone lives in the same city, you should at least find out all the background of the people before you pick soft persimmons!
It's a pity that the district government just doesn't take people with culture as cadres, but the level and connections of people are real, and what's worse is that Mr. Teng actually has a position in the United Nations!
Now there is a lot of uproar in the capital because of this incident, Jia Lei saw that the situation was not good, so he secretly escaped for refuge, who made him one of the culprits of this matter.
"It's no wonder that the authorities have recently paid so much attention to the demolition and relocation work in the development zone, and have repeatedly stressed that government officials cannot accept bribes from businessmen and open back doors to nepotism in development cases.
But Jia Lei, you didn't do it for you, think about it, how dare I open the back door for you on this cusp now? Aren't you pushing me into the fire pit!" Mayor Zhao looked at Jia Lei and said angrily.
Mayor Zhao is now almost annoyed by the affairs of the development zone, and Jia Lei is still running to make trouble for himself.
Now Pudong Development Zone is obviously a big fat meat that everyone wants to take a bite of, but at the same time, the development zone needs to be successfully completed The amount of money required to invest is also huge, and the municipal government is trying to pull investment from the outside.
Now many people are entrusting the relationship to go through the back door and want to run to the Pudong Development Zone to get the white wolf with empty gloves, first get the land, and then go to the bank for loan development or sell it to make a lot of money.
Mayor Zhao now has a headache when he sees someone coming to him because of the land in the Pudong Development Zone, but Jia Lei hit his gun this time.
"Godfather, don't I know how law-abiding you are, how can I let you open the back door for me to grant land?
I came to you just to add a plug to participate in the foreign investment promotion activities of your development zone, anyway, I have several companies abroad, and they must meet the standards of investment promotion in the development zone. Jia Lei said with a smile, this is not a fan mistake, at most it is just a convenience.
"Jia Lei, you are so anxious to participate in the investment promotion activities of Pudong Development Zone, is it possible that you already have a goal?" Mayor Zhao asked thoughtfully when he heard this, otherwise Jia Lei would not have taken the initiative to come to the door and ask him to open the back door for himself.
"Do you ask me about my goal? I do have a goal, otherwise I wouldn't want you to stuff me!" Jia Lei nodded and said, this is the real purpose of his return to Mingzhu City.
"So which piece of land are you targeting?" asked Mayor Zhao.
Jia Lei is now rich, and he will definitely not do that kind of petty business, so Jia Lei's goal must be one of those plots of land.
"My goal is to occupy an area of more than 20,000 square meters next to Lujiazui Binjiang Avenue, where the Oriental Pearl TV Tower is not far from the Huangpu River.
That's the best piece of land in the Lujiazui Financial Center, and it's a pity to miss it!" Jia Lei said from the bottom of his heart.
"But the land is very expensive, do you really want to buy it?" asked Mayor Zhao.
Everyone knows that the better the location, the more expensive the land, and the Mingzhu Municipal Government is planning to make a lot of money from this land, otherwise where will they get the money to build public facilities in the Pudong Development Zone.
"I really want to buy it! That piece of land is more expensive, what are you afraid of, but the house I built there will be sold at a little more expensive. Jia Lei said confidently.
"Are you crazy! The valuation of that piece of land is $50 million and it is too high, how expensive do you have to sell the house to make back the cost of buying the land?" Mayor Zhao asked in disbelief.
"Isn't it just $50 million, which is just a small amount compared to the future value of this land.
The location of this land is so good, I can sell a house for one or two hundred million yuan in the future, and I will sell four or five houses for 50 million US dollars. Jia Lei said indifferently.
"Jia Lei, you're not talking in a dream, are you? How could a house in Huaxia Kingdom sell for one or two hundred million yuan? Even in country M, the housing prices in Washington are not so high, right?
That's enough money to buy several estates or villas in Washington, D.C., how could anyone in China be able to afford so much money to buy a house!
Such a good thing will not be possible in the next life, Jia Lei, I think you should not have such unreliable dreams!" Mayor Zhao sneered at Jia Lei's words and said, Jia Lei's words just now sounded so ridiculous and incredible to his ears!
"Godfather, don't say it so badly! Although Huaxia is quite poor now, this does not mean that Huaxia people will be so poor in the future.
Maybe in 20 years, billionaires will be everywhere, and there will be as many billionaires as dogs!
When the time comes, some people will rob one or two hundred million houses, and my house will definitely not be sold!" Jia Lei said with certainty.
You must know that when Jia Lei was in Jia Lei's last life, the house that was bought by a Taiwanese and then built was known as the most expensive mansion in China - Tomson Yipin!
