"In that case, you can give me a price, how much does this land cost?" asked Jia Lei. m.

"According to the Land Bureau's pricing, the land transfer fee for this land is $58.2 million!" replied Mr. Li.

"$58.2 million?" Jia Lei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this figure, and seemed a little surprised.

"Why, do you think it's expensive? This is the price we have set after careful study, and it should be worth the price according to the size and geographical location of the land. Manager Li asked.

"Don't worry, I'm not too expensive!I'm the opposite of what you think, I'm surprised just because it's too cheap!,

However, what I don't understand is that the price of domestic investment projects should not be in RMB, why should your company's land transfer money be priced in US dollars?" Jia Lei asked puzzled.

"Because these land sales fees have to be paid in US dollars, we just use US dollars to quote the price!

The reason why the development zone will take out these plots for our company to sell is to earn dollars in the hands of those foreign businessmen. That's why these very well-located plots of land have not been put up for auction on the surface!" Manager Li explained to Jia Lei.

"Huh...... It seems that the government has used all the methods in order to earn dollars, no wonder Huaxia's foreign exchange reserves have risen so fast!" Jia Lei said speechlessly after hearing this answer, isn't this forcing people to settle accounts in dollars.

In recent years, the Chinese government has been forced by the foreign exchange deficit, so they have begun to find ways to attract foreign businessmen and foreign capital from outside.

And the lowest-cost but most valuable commodity that the Chinese government can come up with is, of course, the land!

Exchanging land for dollars is really a good deal that makes a lot of money, and it is by this method that the Chinese government has raised its foreign exchange reserves from $20 billion to hundreds of billions of dollars in just two years.

"Jia Lei, don't you say that the government is so greedy for money? We have no choice but to do this, who makes our country really short of foreign exchange now.

You should know that all international trade transactions must be settled in US dollars, and if we do not have US dollars in hand, then the country will not be able to buy industrial equipment and raw materials that are urgently needed at home from abroad. Manager Li explained to Jia Lei.

There is no way for the state to earn foreign exchange by such unscrupulous means, and if the country does not have enough foreign exchange reserves in the face of such fierce inflation, it is easy to repeat the mistakes of the Soviet Union next door.

"You don't have to explain it to me, I understand this truth! I'm afraid that no one in China knows better than me how short the government is of foreign exchange......" Jia Lei said with a smile.

If it weren't for the lack of money, he wouldn't have gone to Jia Lei to borrow dollars a few months ago.

"Since you can understand, when are you going to pay? Do you pay the deposit first or in installments?" asked Manager Li tentatively.

He used to see a lot of princelings who took away the land by giving a deposit, and then paid the full amount after selling the land. And I don't know when the time of the land sale is, so Manager Li asked worriedly.

"You don't have to worry about payment, I can transfer the full amount to you through Citibank at any time. But before I make the payment, I have something I want to ask you about?" Jia Lei said.

"Oh, what do you want to ask me about?" Manager Li asked happily, as long as Jia Lei was willing to pay the full amount, he could say anything.

"I've heard that there are other people before me who are also interested in this land, right?" Jia Lei asked with a casual look.

"Yes, before you, there was indeed a Tomson Group from Hong Kong Island who was also interested in this land! In fact, our district government originally planned to sell this land to him. But since you want the district, we're going to sell you this piece of land, and now we're going to give them another piece of land. Manager Li said.

"Actually, you don't have to change the land for Tomson Group, it's so troublesome! You know I don't have much experience in real estate development, so I want to find someone to develop this land together.

I don't know if Tomson Group is willing to cooperate with me to develop this land?" Jia Lei asked Manager Li with a smile.

"I don't know about this, but I can help you ask what Mr. Tang means. It would be great if the two of you could work together to develop this land!" Mr. Li immediately replied happily.

If Jia Lei can cooperate with Tomson Group to jointly develop this land, then Tomson Group will not complain to the district because of the change of ownership of this land.

"I think so too, then please Manager Li, you can help me make an appointment with Mr. Tang to meet!" Jia Lei said with a smile.

"Okay, I will!" replied Mr. Li.

"Now that the matter has been negotiated, let's sign the contract!" Jia Lei said, and this kind of thing is still in his own hands to be insured.

"Yes, I'll ask the secretary to take the contract in and sign it, as long as your money and this piece of land belongs to you. Manager Li said with a smile.

"Then I'll thank Manager Li in advance! Since you are so happy, I won't play with you, if you have anything to use me in the future, you can squeak with me, and I promise to help you do it as much as possible." Jia Lei immediately said with a smile.

"Since you say that, then you're welcome! Actually, I don't have to wait for later, I have something I want you to do me now. Manager Li said with a smile.

"I don't know if you have anything to ask me to help with?" Jia Lei asked curiously.

"You also know that Pudong didn't even have a decent cement road before the big development, and we have been building the road since the start of construction in 92, but it hasn't been finished until now......," Manager Li said, and couldn't help but stop.

"The road has to be walked step by step, the food has to be eaten in one bite, and you don't have to be too anxious about building the road, it will be completed sooner or later anyway. Jia Lei comforted him and said.

"But I'm not in a hurry, I can't do it! Seeing that half of the houses on other people's construction sites have been built, but our roads have not been repaired yet, how will people go to work when the shopping mall or office building opens?" Manager Li said embarrassedly, and then he looked at Jia Lei affectionately and stopped talking.

"What do you think I'm doing? Just say anything......" Jia Lei looked at him and asked, Jia Lei had a hunch that Manager Li might have a plan.

"You see that you are Mayor Zhao's godson and a well-known rich man in the city, so shouldn't you learn that Mr. Tang is a contribution to the development of Mingzhu City?" Manager Li asked with a smile.

"It's really right to contribute to your hometown! Just say it, what do you want me to help with?" Jia Lei asked with a headache.

"On the one hand, the slow progress of the project is due to the relationship between materials, but mainly because of the efficiency of manpower and material resources.

I heard that you have a lot of contacts in Moscow, so can you help us get some construction machinery back? We can rent it for money!" Manager Li hurriedly said.

"Can you spend money to rent, that means you don't plan to pay for the machine?" Jia Lei asked with the corners of his mouth twitching when he heard this.

"Oh, how expensive construction machinery is, one is worth millions, we can't afford it!" That's why I want to rent a few ......through you," Manager Li cried poorly, in fact, they really can't afford it.

*****

After Jia Lei and Manager Li signed the contract to buy the land, they began to study the information of Tang Junnian, the boss of Tomson Yipin.

It turns out that this Mr. Tang's ancestral home is in Mingzhu City, so it's no wonder that he will take out all his wealth to return to Mingzhu City to invest. Is he planning to return to his hometown!" Jia Lei looked at Tang Junnian's information and said with admiration.

Tang Junnian's life is extremely legendary, he left Pearl City at the age of 4 and went to Hong Kong Island, at the age of 18, he sold curtains with his father and brother, and at the age of 22, he went to Wanwan to start a business alone.

Tang Junnian started by selling curtains on motorcycles for a day, earning 500 million yuan a year, and then relying on the money, he bought two department stores for rent and officially entered the real estate industry.

When Mr. Tang was 40 years old, he invested with others in the "Tangcheng" real estate project in the industrial park, which sold for 7.4 billion yuan in two weeks. It seems that his business acumen is indeed very powerful!" Jia Lei said with sincere admiration when he saw this.

If Jia Lei hadn't been reborn for this bug, this person's mind and ability would be enough to beat him eight hundred times!

"What's the use of him no matter how good his business acumen is, in the end, didn't you rob this piece of land?" Ah Fei said disdainfully.

"It's useless to have a good brain, at least people know how to develop this land! The two of us can't!" Jia Lei rolled his eyes and said.

"Why can't we develop it? When we were on Hong Kong Island, didn't we build a shopping mall easily?" Ah Fei said proudly.

"Our shopping mall is a large warehousing and wholesale center at best, and most of the people who do business are small businessmen, so they are not picky about the environment.

But don't forget, the new land I bought is in the center of the financial district, so we can't just mess around, right?

The people from the city planning bureau and my godfather won't eat me!" Jia Lei rolled his eyes and said, can building a storage center be the same thing as a high-end building in the financial district.

"Since there are high requirements for the construction of the development zone, it's a big deal that we can hire a better foreign designer to design it this time, and then hire a professional engineering team to construct it? Why do you have to cooperate with Tang Junnian?" Ah Fei asked puzzled.

"Brother Fei, have you ever heard that drawing a tiger is not an anti-dog?

Some things show their own taste and value through details, I don't think the two of us will have a higher taste than this gentleman? Do you think those rich people will agree with the high-end mansions that the two of us have made?" Jia Lei said helplessly.

Even if the house of Tomson Yipin in the previous life was ripped up on the Internet, countless imitators have not been able to make a Tomson second product in the past few decades......

Jia Lei can be sure and say with certainty that once he leaves the founder of Tomson Yipin, what he produces is at most a four-point similar appearance to Tomson Yipin.

"The taste of the two of us...... ......Well, well, I admit that my taste is really not high!" Ah Fei touched the gold chain around his neck and said objectively, he is still walking in the nouveau riche style.

"My taste is not much higher than yours! Although I am wearing custom-made clothes now, haven't you noticed that the clothes I buy are all complete sets and have never been chosen by myself?

If you ask me to buy my own clothes to wear, Armani and I can dress you as a stall......" Jia Lei sighed and said.

In his last life, he was a straight man and otaku with a capital and bold, you never want to be elegant and tasteful in him, Jia Lei can be called elegant at most.

This is still on the premise of the other party's sycophancy!

"But Jia Lei, I have a question, since this Mr. Tang is so powerful, how can he cooperate with us? You must know that you just grabbed a piece of land from him, it is good that he doesn't hate you!" Ah Fei asked.

"Huh...... There is a saying in the shopping mall that there is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests! As long as the benefits I give are big enough, he will definitely take the initiative to come to us for cooperation. Jia Lei said confidently.

"Although there is some truth in this sentence, why are you so sure that he will definitely take the initiative to come to you for cooperation?" Ah Fei asked puzzled.

"Because ......" Jia Lei paused here when he said this, and he suddenly laughed when he didn't know what to remember.

"Because he's short of money!" Jia Lei said with a smile.

"Lack of money? This can't be, right? Isn't this Mr. Tang a big boss from Hong Kong? How could he be short of money?" Ah Fei asked puzzled.

Of course he was short of money, because he liked to gamble! He was optimistic about the development of Mingzhu City and Pudong, so he took out all his net worth to gamble here.

My people found out that he had suspended or sold many of his properties on Hong Kong Island since last year, and even his brewery and land in Quang Dong province had been sold by him.

In just one year, he invested $500 million in Pudong, becoming the largest Taiwanese businessman in Pearl City.

If he has money, how can he sell factories and land?" Jia Lei pointed to the report on the table and said that he would never fight an unprepared battle.

"Oh my God! He invested $500 million a year, but he was really rich! How did he make so much money?" Ah Fei said in shock, he couldn't imagine that a person could make $500 million so quickly from scratch.

According to the current exchange rate of 1:8.6 between the US dollar and the RMB, that is a full 4.3 billion yuan!

"It's a pity that not all of this money is his, whether it is a real estate company on Hong Kong Island or a real estate company in Wanwan, most of the money they spend on construction comes from bank loans or pre-sale of pre-sale properties.

It's a pity that building a house doesn't happen overnight, and he has spent all 500 million US dollars recently, otherwise how would he find a local company to bid for the land on Binjiang Avenue? I guess that Yongxing company should be able to help him get the loan!" Jia Lei said with a smile.

"Since he is so short of money now, then he should agree to your request for cooperation. After all, who in Mingzhu City doesn't know that you are the famous God of Wealth, didn't you just help Lujiazui Financial District buy more than a dozen construction machinery!

You're almost carving on your head now, "Stupid", "Moneyy", "Come quickly!" 6 big characters, if I hear the news that you fool wants to cooperate with me, then I will definitely come. Ah Fei immediately said clearly, who doesn't want to find a fool who helps him pay for it.

"Don't even mention buying construction machines. Okay! I feel distressed when I think of this now, what do you say I bought so many engineering trucks for......" Jia Lei immediately clutched his chest when he heard this.

He doesn't want to earn that rent!
