Chapter 291: The Role of Women
Saying goodbye to Lin Yinglong, Lin Kai sent Li Huayong back to the hotel. After returning to the hotel, Li Huayong kept smirking there:
"Hehe, Li Chaoren actually took the initiative to lend me such a large sum of money, and his first active investment in the mainland was not the "Tianzi No. 1" project, Xiao Kai, do you say that your brother-in-law has a lot of face?"
Lin Kai didn't feel anything about Li Huayong's complacency, but he was interested in what he said about the "Tianzi No. 1" project:
"What is the No. 1 project of Tianzi?"
"A real estate project, due to the special situation of this project, has always been known as the first in the real estate industry in China, well, if there is an opportunity in the future, this project can also be mixed and blended......."
Hearing Li Huayong say this, Lin Kai became more and more curious: "What kind of project is this? Is it very large-scale, and why can it be called Tianzi No. 1?"
Li Huayong glanced at him: "The scale of this project is about 2 billion US dollars, do you think it's big?"
Hearing Li Huayong report this number, Lin Kai shrunk his neck and stopped talking. Such a figure may not be uncommon if it is left to future generations, and it may be the cost of one or two supertall skyscrapers. However, don't forget that it's only the 80s, and projects of this scale are very rare even in Xiangjiang now---- at the end of last year, Li Chaoren just announced a land development plan with a total scale of about 2 billion yuan, which caused a sensation in Hong Kong and heated discussions in the city.
In particular, it should be pointed out that in Li Chaoren's land development plan in the New Territories last year, 2 billion refers to Hong Kong dollars, while Li Huayong is talking about US dollars.
"Brother-in-law, just blow it, can there be such a big development plan in China now?"
Li Huayong glanced at Lin Kai again, and said in a tone of lesson: "Frog at the bottom of the well, you guy is a frog at the bottom of the well, Xiao Kai, you now know how terrible it is to be uneducated, how can the mainland not have big projects? Don't look at the mainland, although it is still relatively poor, you must know that as early as a few decades ago, when the mainland was poorer than now, it was possible to build atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, is it a big project to engage in these things? Compared with the atomic bomb, what is a real estate project of 2 billion yuan?"
I don't know when it started, Lin Kai seemed to be really afraid of Li Huayong, and he didn't dare to talk back when he was taught in person like this, so he could only mumble in a whisper to express his dissatisfaction:
"Who is uneducated? As if you are very knowledgeable, aren't you just a high school student in the mainland, how much higher can your education level be than me.......
Seeing Li Huayong glaring at him again, Lin Kai hurriedly stopped and changed the topic:
"Okay, okay, what is the project you said brother-in-law?"
"Guess. ”
"Guess? At present, there are not many powerful cities in China, and if you want to undertake a big project of 2 billion US dollars, in my opinion, it is either Beijing or Shencheng, is this the case for my brother-in-law?"
Seeing that Lin Kai was actually right, Li Huayong couldn't help but be happy, and he opened his mouth to "praise" and said: "Hehe, Xiaokai is good, although you don't have much knowledge, but Xiaocleverness still seems to be a little ........"
That's right, the domestic "Tianzi No. 1" real estate project in Li Huayong's mouth is the "Oriental Plaza" project in Beijing developed by Li Chaoren in the early nineties in real history.
To be honest, the reason why this project can be called "Tianzi No. 1" is really not because of its size, although 2 billion US dollars can make people stick out their tongues, but it is not enough to make people gasp. After all, judging from other projects in the same period of the year, whether it is the Three Gorges Project in China or the new airport project in Xiangjiang, the scale of investment is much larger than this.
The peculiarity of this project lies in the fact that it is located in the center of Beijing, and its house number is No. 1 East Chang'an Street, Beijing. In order to build this project, dozens of office buildings of national ministries and commissions were relocated, and hundreds of foreign institutions in China or directly foreign embassies in China were relocated. This project involves more than a dozen cultural relics and ancient buildings or cultural protection units, not to mention the ordinary houses involved.
This is the biggest feature of this project, as for the project covers an area of 100,000 square meters, with a total construction area of 800,000 square meters, it was one of the largest commercial buildings in Asia at that time, and was known as the real "city within a city" Yunyun, Li Huayong believes that these are not the point.
Of course, the reason why Li Huayong can remember this project is still fresh is mainly because there are a lot of legendary stories or gossip around this project, and gossip related to Li Chaoman, which makes Li Huayong deeply impressed---- which shows that "gossip" is indeed a good thing, even if it is an industry insider like Li Huayong, he wants to remember such a well-known project, and he sometimes needs to rely on gossip.
This project should be the first project that Li Chaoren has done in the mainland, and before that, even if he has visited the mainland many times, and even "his old man" has met him several times, Li Chaoren has not actually invested in the mainland. In the 80s, he was more involved in the mainland to do charity, even before this project in Shencheng "Pudong Development", at the invitation of the central government, he did have the intention of investing, but he has not yet put it into action, and this project should be regarded as the real first.
Why did Li Superman invest in this project, it is quite dramatic.
First of all, it must be mentioned that it can also be regarded as the secret of this project, most people in later generations may know that this project was done by Li Chaoren, but they may not know that this project actually involves another celebrity in Xiangjiang, and it can even be said that this project is actually another person who is presiding over the overall situation. And this celebrity is the future Chief Executive Dong.
Why is this project related to Chief Executive Dong? In fact, it has to do with the nature and characteristics of this project. Because this project has been born since the day it was born, or the government has just had the idea of doing this project, this project can only be done by Xiangjiang people.
Why do you say this? You can imagine that if this project were to be entrusted to a mainlander, it would be difficult for anyone to move an inch in the face of those frighteningly large units.
This has nothing to do with strength, or even personal ability, as long as a mainlander wants to run this kind of project, he can't settle the complex relationship between the ground in the capital at all, and the demolition alone can plunge him into an endless quagmire.
The people know about this situation, and of course the government knows about it, and it is precisely for this reason that when the government wants to start this project, the government does not think of letting mainlanders do this project at all.
What should I do if I can't do it myself? Isn't there a saying that "a monk from outside is good at reciting the scriptures," so the government made it clear from the very beginning that "monks from outside" must be invited to recite this scripture.
Of course, this "foreign monk" is not something that can be invited casually, similar to such a project, the "monk" in Europe, America and Japan is definitely not suitable, and the monk from Ah San, the real origin of the monk, is naturally even more inappropriate.
The only one who was suitable for this work, and even in the environment at that time, the only one who was suitable for doing work seemed to be the "monk" from Xiangjiang.
At that time, the government handed over the task of "finding a monk" to the later Chief Executive Dong.
It was Chief Executive Dong who spread heroic posts in Xiangjiang, which recruited Li Chaoren to the capital to do this project.
And why did Li Chaoren take over this project? This involves a lady, or the gossip about Li Chaoren, because when Li Chaoren went to the capital to talk about this project, he met his later so-called "confidante" Ms. Zhou, who was once almost the "stepmother" of Li Da and Li's second son. Later, it was said that it was because of Li Er's strong opposition that the lady failed to do so.
Whenever I think of this gossip, Li Huayong sighs with emotion, sometimes I have to admit that the role of women is still quite big. And what is the biggest role of women? Li Huayong believes that it affects men's rationality.
For example, in this story, according to legend, Li Chaoren made a decision to invest in the project less than 10 minutes after meeting Ms. Zhou, and Li Chaoren's cheerfulness surprised many other wealthy people in Xiangjiang.
You must know that Chief Executive Dong invited Li Chaoren alone, and when everyone else was still hesitating, no one thought that Li Chaoren would accept this matter so quickly.
After all, from any point of view, even from the ex post and post of this project, making this decision is not a rational choice.
What could make Li Chaoren so rational and make an irrational choice? Then of course, there is only one answer: women.
"Woman, woman......"
Just when Li Huayong was sighing with emotion, his "big brother" suddenly sounded.
"Hey. ”
"Dead Ah Yong, why did it take so long to answer the phone?"
"Lotus, lotus, what's the matter?"
