Chapter 298: Two-Year Goals
The "Tsuen Wan Development Plan" was a large-scale land development project in Heung Kong in the late 60s and early 70s.
The project was not well known in later generations, and even the locals of Hong Kong knew little about it, because it was a failed project, or rather an unfinished project.
The reason why Li Huayong knew about this was also due to the fact that he had read a professional book written by a Xiangjiang person in his previous life. The guy who wrote the book can be regarded as a veteran in the financial and real estate industries of Hong Kong, and he even served as the administrative secretary of Uncle Li for a long time.
This guy has written two books, one is called "Real Estate Hegemony", because this book reveals a lot of insider information and gossip in the real estate industry in Hong Kong, and the content is more attractive, so this book is more famous, and more people may know or read this book.
Another book is called "A Century of Ups and Downs of Heung Kong Real Estate", compared with the previous book, this book is more like a professional book, which summarizes the development history and development law of the real estate industry since the opening of the port of Hong Kong, and analyzes many examples of success or failure.
And it was in this book that Li Huayong knew about the "Tsuen Wan Development Plan" many years ago.
Of course, because of the age, the book does not explain this plan in great detail, and many places are vague, and Li Huayong does not know much about the specific content of this plan.
For example, there is no mention of the Lin family in that book, and there is not much ink on the specific content and specific scale of this plan, only mentioning that this plan was developed by Boss Huo, and finally failed for various reasons.
However, although there are many places that are not clearly explained, the book analyzes the reasons why this plan failed very clearly, and the reason on the surface is that the development cycle of this plan is too long, because the development cycle is too long, which leads to a sharp increase in development costs, and the cost increases to the point that even Huo Boss can not bear it, and eventually leads to the failure of the entire development plan.
And the reason behind it is because Huo Laoda had a contradiction with the British government in Hong Kong at that time, and the "Liangzi" of both sides had been formed since the "Zima Gang" helped the mainland in the 50s.
At that time, the British government in Hong Kong was unwilling to let Huo Laoda preside over the development plan, so it set up a lot of obstacles to this plan, especially in the laws and regulations and approval links to Huo Laoda, which caused the plan to be carried out smoothly at all.
Li Huayong didn't have a deep impression of this plan before, but when he heard Lin Yinglong say this just now, and then thought of the somewhat strange reactions of Boss Huo and Lin Xiaotian before, this made him suddenly enlightened and solved many mysteries in his heart.
Li Huayong has always had a puzzle in his heart, it should be said that Huo Boss became famous very early, and he was regarded as a wealthy man in Xiangjiang, but why did he seem to be sluggish later, and seemed to be opened up by other top giants? Now that I think about it, it is probably because of this project, because only a project of this level can make people of Huo Boss's level lose their vitality.
To know a characteristic of Xiangjiang's economy, among the several so-called "pillar industries" in Xiangjiang, the real estate industry is definitely the most special and the most special one, whoever wants to become the richest man in Xiangjiang, then no matter what he did before, he will eventually get involved in this industry.
From a macro point of view, this kind of economy is of course morbid, but this is the reality of the Hong Kong economy.
Of course, Huo Boss is also involved in this industry, and even his status in the industry is quite high, and he is highly respected by people in the industry, after all, the term "pre-sale" is the first creation of Huo Boss.
Therefore, if you want people like him to be deflated, and if you want to knock down people like him, it can only be a real estate project.
Since people of Boss Huo's level will be deflated, it is naturally normal for the Lin family, which is one grade worse than him, to lose their vitality in a real estate project.
"It's a lot of pressure. ”
"What did you say?"
When Li Huayong said "a lot of pressure", it was just when Lin Yinglong asked him "how do you know". Of course, Li Huayong couldn't explain to Lin Yinglong how he knew about the "Tsuen Wan Development Plan", so he had to use the trick of "changing the topic" at this time.
"I mean, now that I've borrowed so much money, I'm suddenly feeling so stressed right now. ”
"That's what you think? Well, it's good if you can think like that......"
Li Huayong smiled secretly in his heart, at this time, of course he knew the purpose of Lin Yinglong telling him about this matter today. The reason why he, the future father-in-law, suddenly told himself about their Lin family today is that he still dragged Lin Kai to listen to it with him, what about the first meaning, of course, there is the meaning of "don't treat you as an outsider".
As for the second meaning, Li Huayong thinks that the more important meaning is that Lin Yinglong actually wants to warn himself and warn himself to be cautious about using the more than 300 million funds that he has just borrowed.
After all, from a certain point of view, the project that he is about to return to the mainland to operate is similar to the project that Lin Yinglong is going to tell him. The scale of the two projects may not be at the same level, but the biggest risk for both projects is actually the same.
The biggest risk is, of course, long cycles.
It should be said that the "long cycle" is not only a weakness of the real estate industry, but even a weakness of any real economy. In the future, why is our country's real economy so struggling? A large part of the reason is here.
Take this ceramic factory project as an example, we must admit that this is indeed a good project, especially now after the financial problem is solved, it can be said that no matter from the project basis, financial situation, market prospects, or government support and foreseeable project location environment, these conditions have been met, and even many conditions have reached the good above.
However, this does not mean that the project is risk-free.
And almost all risks come from time, from "long cycles".
It will take a long time to build this project, and after the project is completed, it can be expected that it will not be profitable for a while in the early stage of the production of the product, before the product is ready to be marketed.
These two periods of time are the biggest source of risk for this project. You must know that the construction funds in your hands are borrowed, in addition to the principal, you have to pay interest every month, once this time is too long, then the day of profitability will also be delayed, if this period of time drags on too long, let the interest eat up most of the profits, the project can not even be profitable in the end, a good project will eventually become a bad project.
Of course, Li Huayong can see the truth in this, and he also knows that Lin Yinglong is now solemnly holding himself back, and in fact, he also wants to give himself some warnings in this regard.
So he didn't give him a chance now and said "very stressful" words in advance.
Lin Yinglong looked at Li Huayong a little speechless, he felt that the young man in front of him was really a little not very sensible, and he didn't know how to speak, he had obviously prepared a lot of words to prepare a "step-by-step teaching" to him, but he was forced back by him.
However, there is no way, since the topic has been changed by Li Huayong, then we can only continue to communicate according to the transferred topic.
"Okay, Xiao Li, since you see the problem clearly, let me ask you, how long do you think it will take to build this ceramic factory project?"
Faced with Lin Yinglong's question, Li Huayong pondered for a while, and then he confidently stretched out two fingers:
"I don't care about it in advance in the later stage, but if the first phase of construction is concerned, I think it will take two years enough, even if it starts today, at most two and a half years, I hope this ceramic factory can be put into operation normally. ”
"Hiss......"
Hearing Li Huayong say this, Lin Yinglong was obviously a little surprised, and he even gasped: "Xiao Li, you, your goal, will you be too optimistic?"
Li Huayong smiled slightly, of course he knew that according to the level of construction in this era. Of course, this speed is a little faster. However, Li Huayong must set such a goal.
The reason why Li Huayong set this goal is that in addition to the fact that there are sufficient funds now, so that Li Huayong has the confidence to say so, the more important thing is that it is now the end of 1986, and two years later, it will be 1989.
As a ceramic factory that aims to produce high-end ceramic tiles and is ready to take the high-end route, Li Huayong believes that there is no other way to produce this product before that day comes.
