Chapter 460: Another Meeting
On the morning of the next day, Xu Qing, accompanied by a number of powerful figures in the Demon Capital, inspected the core area of the Demon Capital.
In fact, Xu Qing is more inclined to build a headquarters building in the magic capital, because the geographical location of the magic capital is too good.
The magic capital has a large seaport, a large airport, although Yanjing also has a large airport, but there is no seaport.
Although Yangcheng and Pengcheng both have seaports and airports, in terms of scale, they are not as good as the magic capital.
Moreover, the magic capital is in the middle of Yanjing and Yangcheng, and the magic capital goes to Yanjing for a few hours, and it is also a few hours to go to Yangcheng.
But Yangcheng is relatively far from Yanjing, and there is still the Yangtze River flowing through the magic capital, so you can take a boat to the inland area.
However, the city with the most headquarters of the world's top 500 companies in China in later generations is Yanjing, followed by the magic capital, and the gap between the two is very large.
Although Yanjing's transportation location is not as good as that of the magic capital, Yanjing has an advantage that all cities in China cannot match, that is, political advantages.
In doing business in China, politics plays a big role in many cases, ranking first.
For a while, Xu Qing was a little difficult to choose the location of the headquarters building, so he could only go to Yanjing to inspect and then make a decision.
Therefore, Xu Qing also did not make any substantive promises to the powerful people in the magic capital.
They also knew Xu Qing's thoughts, and they didn't ask Xu Qing to give an answer, Yanjing's advantage was too great, and they didn't have the confidence to win Yanjing.
In the afternoon, Xu Qing had a meeting with a group of entrepreneurs in the magic capital to discuss the possibility of cooperation.
The overall strength of the entrepreneurs in the magic capital is higher than that of Yangcheng and Pengcheng, so the net worth of the entrepreneurs who came to the meeting was also relatively high.
However, their combined net worth is only one-twelfth of Xu Qing's net worth, and now the net worth of Chinese entrepreneurs has not yet entered a period of skyrocketing.
In the business world, a businessman's net worth is the most important factor of strength and the best status symbol.
Although there are many factors that determine the strength of businessmen, such as political factors, but at Xu Qing's level, it is no longer a simple political factor that can be erased, and there is a huge net worth gap between Xu Qing and these people.
Unless there is a support from the highest level, that is almost unlikely.
Although Xu Qing is also a foreigner, because of his Chinese identity, he also has a lot of political factors in China.
The top level will not treat Xu Qing like other foreign investors, and is more inclined to woo him.
This Magic City's entrepreneur conference was also represented by people from almost all walks of life.
The financial and foreign trade of the magic capital are very developed, and one of the two major stock exchanges in China is in the magic capital.
Xu Qing intends to let Lane Bank conduct business in the magic capital, and with the current assets of Lane Bank, except for several major banks in China and several major foreign banks, the assets of other banks are not comparable to Lane Bank.
The strength of the magic capital in terms of foreign trade is very strong, last year, the foreign trade scale of the magic capital was the first among all cities in China, if you add the provinces, the foreign trade scale of the magic capital is only lower than that of eastern Guangdong Province.
In other words, the scale of foreign trade in other provinces is not as large as that of one city in the magic capital.
In particular, it can be seen how developed the foreign trade of the magic capital is.
The international trading company managed by Xu Qing's parents now has assets of more than 200 million US dollars, ranking not in the global trading company rankings.
But in China, it can be ranked in the forefront.
At present, all walks of life in China can be said to have just begun to develop, and the scale of most industries is still very small.
This is a great opportunity for many businessmen, and Xu Qing is no different.
Xu Qing also wanted to involve the real estate of the magic capital, but it was a pity that because the development of the magic capital was relatively early and the land area was relatively small, a lot of land already had owners.
But this is not difficult for Xu Qing, who can buy the land in the hands of those real estate people at a premium.
Now the house price in the magic capital is scary, only a few thousand yuan per square meter, 5.6 years ago, the house price in the magic capital was relatively high, but the bubble burst, the house price has fallen a lot in recent years.
The house price in the magic capital of the future is more than 50,000 yuan, which is more than 10 times higher than now.
If it is a house price in the core area, it is more than 100,000 yuan.
A few years later, the Chinese government will abolish the welfare housing allocation system, and housing prices will begin to usher in rapid growth, with a large increase every year.
So this year or two is a good time to buy land.
Otherwise, after a few years, everyone will realize the huge growth space of housing prices and will buy land one after another.
Even if you don't build a house right away, you won't lose money if you put it in your hands.
Businessmen have always been very sensitive to the market, and after a few years, everyone can see the potential of real estate.
After the meeting, Xu Qing invited a real estate businessman to lunch.
The land owned by this merchant is at the top of the Demon Capital, and of course, it is the Demon Capital Government that owns the most land.
To be able to own so much land, first of all, the strength of this businessman is not bad, and secondly, he should have seen the development potential of real estate, otherwise why do he have so much land.
However, when Xu Qing said that he was willing to buy the land in his hands at a high price, he was tempted.
Seeing the development potential of real estate does not mean that he can accurately know how high the price of real estate will be in the future.
How many Chinese people will know now that the housing prices in Huaxia will go up to the sky in the future? Xu Qing felt that there were not many.
At least the real estate businessman in front of him doesn't know.
Of course, Xu Qing's price is not too high, the premium is more than doubled, if it is too high, it will make the businessman wonder why he paid such a high price.
The added value of real estate is very low, and when the house is sold, there is almost no follow-up income.
Unlike when a car is sold, the income from subsequent maintenance may even be higher than the price of the car.
It's not like the Internet industry, it's a jack-of-all-trades industry, which can promote the development of almost every industry.
What industry can real estate promote?
The businessman said that he wanted to think about it, and Xu Qing told him with a smile that he hoped to make a decision in half a month, because he would stay in Huaxia for about half a month.
In the afternoon, Xu Qing held another meeting with powerful people in the magic capital, at which Xu Qing promised to invest at least $2 billion in the magic capital in the next year.
These people were happy and praised Xu Qing again and again, and all the words of praise came out.
In this era when the economy is in charge, economic development is the top priority of local governments, and it is also the biggest source of political achievements.
If economic development is not good, there will be no good political achievements, and if there are no good political achievements, it will naturally ......
Xu Qing's $2 billion investment is a big political achievement for them.
In the evening, Xu Qing returned to the hotel, and today held two meetings in a row, which was very energy-consuming.
In the previous life, when Xu Qing was in a meeting, it was a time to rest, and now Xu Qing is in a meeting, which is when he is tired.
With his current status, no matter what level of meeting he attends, he has to speak, and he can't doze off.
It's tiring.
