Chapter 388: Brain Water
The next day, in a business suite of Baiyun Hotel, Li Huayong was discussing with Zhong Zhiwen about yesterday's incident:
"CBD? Hu Qiwen actually wants to build a CBD in an old town like Liwan? Do you think he has a brain in water.......
"Who's got water in your brain, you're talking about?"
As this voice came, the two turned their heads, and when they saw someone coming, Zhong Zhiwen got up, and then shouted respectfully: "Lin Sheng." β
Li Huayong was also a little surprised when he saw the person who came: "Huh, third uncle, why are you here?"
The person who came was Lin Wei's third uncle, Lin Yingbiao, the nominal top person in charge of the Xiangjiang Lin Group in the mainland.
Lin Yingbiao first nodded to Zhong Zhiwen, and then smiled at Li Huayong: "Yes, I heard that you almost quarreled with Hu Qiwen's kid yesterday, so hurry up and take a look." β
Li Huayong also smiled: "Ho, is the third uncle quite well-informed, what is the third uncle going to see." β
Lin Yingbiao smiled even more: "Of course I'm going to watch the play, I know that you kid don't look loyal and honest, but he has a delicate heart, and the kid of the Hu family is also an eight-sided exquisite character, let me tell you, there are really many people who want to see the two of you quarrel, let's say, what happened yesterday?"
"Hehe, it's not enough to quarrel, it's just that the second brother of the Hu family first reported a plan to the government, I think that plan is too rubbish, I don't agree to cooperate according to that plan, here's how .......it goes."
Just as Li Huayong was about to explain further, Lin Yingbiao interrupted him: "Ah Yong, wait a minute, before listening to your detailed explanation, I want to confirm one thing, you tell me the truth, did you bring any personal emotions to the incident yesterday?"
Li Huayong smiled and said, "Yo, third uncle, your question is not easy to answer. β
"Why is this so difficult to answer?"
"This mainly depends on who asked, if Lotus asked me, then I would tell her, I just made a decision with personal emotions, but it was the third uncle you asked, I told you the truth, no. β
Lin Yingbiao laughed when he heard this, and Zhong Zhiwen got up with a smile: "I'll go out for a while, you guys talk." β
Lin Yingbiao stopped him: "What is Ah Wen going, this is all his own person, you can help me check here, see if this kid is fooling me later." β
Speaking of this, Lin Yingbiao turned to Li Huayong again and said: "Okay, you can now explain the reasons for your objection in detail, and first state to you that the third uncle doesn't know much about real estate, so don't tell me about it, and explain your reason clearly in the most straightforward words." β
"This ......" Li Huayong didn't think that Lin Yingbiao made such a strange request:
"CBD, the third uncle should know what CBD is, right?"
Lin Yingbiao deliberately blackened his face: "I don't know, let you be more straightforward." β
"To put it simply, CBD is the central business district of a city, such as Manhattan in New York, Ginza in Tokyo, the City of London, Paris and La DΓ©fense, and by the way, Central in Xiangjiang, these places are the CBD areas of these cities. β
Lin Yingbiao nodded: "I understand if you explain it this way, CDB probably refers to the most core and most elite area of a city, right? But that kid from the Hu family said that he wanted to build a CDB in Liwan, which should be a good thing in theory? Why do you object?"
Li Huayong said with a smile: "Third uncle, what you said is to the point, Hu Qiwen's plan just looks beautiful and is a good plan in theory, but it is a castle in the air, not realistic at all, if you really want to follow his way of thinking, this project is not only difficult to make money, but it is still unknown whether it can be done, and a lot of troubles are waiting for him in the back, so I firmly oppose cooperating with him according to his ideas." β
Lin Yingbiao said: "Wait a minute, I will summarize three points after listening to what you just said, one is that you think this project is unrealistic, the second is that you say that this project is difficult to make money, and the third is that you say that there are a lot of troubles in the back, right? You are now explaining to me one by one, why do you think so?"
Li Huayong organized the language a little, and then smiled at Lin Yingbiao:
"Third Uncle, can I ask you a question first?"
"Huh? β
"Third Uncle, when you are in Xiangjiang, if you want to talk to someone about business, where does he usually like to go, I mean the more formal and larger business. β
"Needless to say, if it is a regular big business, then it is naturally the first choice Central. β
"What if it's shopping? Where does the third uncle usually like to go shopping?"
"I rarely sell things on my own. Lin Yingbiao glared at Li Huayong, but after a pause he replied:
"If you want to shop, it is natural to choose Causeway Bay or Tsim Sha Tsui. β
"Does the third uncle want to go shopping in Central?"
"I have a brain problem that makes me want to go shopping in Central. Lin Yingbiao glared at Li Huayong again, but this time: there was already a smile in the corner of his eyes: "The things in that place are expensive and nothing, and the people who go shopping there are afraid that their brains are in water." β
Li Huayong laughed: "Why didn't I just say that the second brother of the Hu family had water in his brain......."
After a pause, Li Huayong continued: "Third uncle, you should know something about that place in Liwan, right? It is the old town of Yangcheng, where there are many storefronts and shops, a bit like the Causeway Bay of Xiangjiang, but by no means like the Central of Xiangjiang, it is obviously a good place for shopping and trading, but according to Hu Qiwen's ideas, it has to be made a good place to talk about business, third uncle, you have not seen his specific plan, what is a Grade A office building, and what is a high-end apartment and a high-end business hotel, the whole plan is based on these things, you say a plan like this, how can I cooperate with him. β
Of course, Li Huayong's explanation is straightforward enough, there is no need to say anything else, Lin Yingbiao understood what Li Huayong meant.
Li Huayong is nothing more than saying that Hu Qiwen's plan is not accurately positioned, and for a real estate project, the positioning problem is very important, and in real history, there are quite a few real estate developers who are actually planted on this problem.
A place seems to have a good location and seems to be popular, so I develop a high-end real estate in a hot head, but when it is developed, I find that it does not attract people.
If this happens, it's basically a problem with positioning. The developer has forgotten what the local habits were and what the main groups of residents around them are. If you don't match their habits, it's really not like you want to be "high-end" and you can get high-end.
Speaking of which, we have to mention the "10,000-digit square" of the "old king of the north", why is their "10,000-digit square" so popular in China? A very important reason is because of their accurate positioning.
As we all know, they take the mid-range or even mid-range low-end route, what does this kind of route mean? To put it bluntly, it is the kind of place where ordinary people can afford to spend it, and gold-collar and white-boned people will not feel disgraced when they go.
This is undoubtedly a very suitable positioning, even before Li Huayong crossed, this is actually the most suitable positioning for the national conditions.
And in today's era, the second brother of the Hu family wants to build a CBD in an old town like Liwan? Of course, Li Huayong feels that such a positioning is too far from reality.
After Lin Yingbiao paced a few steps in the room, he stopped and asked:
"Aside from the problem of high positioning, do you think there is anything else wrong with his plan?"
"Yes, of course, I will tell you the truth, if it was just a high positioning, I would not have reacted so fiercely yesterday, let alone publicly expressed opposition, the problem is that his plan also ignores a problem, a more important and serious problem than the positioning problem, which prompted me to adopt the attitude of yesterday. β
"Oh?
"People!
Li Huayong looked at Lin Yingbiao and said: "Third uncle, don't forget, those two factories originally had hundreds of workers, so if you want to do this project, you can't help but consider the placement of these workers." β
After a slight pause, Li Huayong changed his tone and spoke: "Third uncle, think about it, most of the workers in this kind of factory should be considered blue-collar workers, right? If this project is done according to Hu Qiwen's plan, can you imagine arranging hundreds of workers to go to work in a place like Central?"
"Oh?!"
In fact, since he came in, Lin Yingbiao's demeanor and expression have always been relatively relaxed, but when he heard Li Huayong say this, his expression became serious for the first time.
Lin Yingbiao stopped talking again, and he paced in the room again.
And Li Huayong was also silent, to be honest, this was the main reason for his opposition yesterday. For a project like this, the placement of personnel is of course a big problem, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the biggest problem.
Not to mention this kind of ordinary commercial real estate project, even if it is a national strategic project such as the Three Gorges Dam, the state still regards immigration as a top priority.
It's a pity that in the so-called "discussion" later yesterday, Li Huayong only heard the second brother of the Hu family and the head of Liang Da talking about it, talking about how good the CBD plan was and how it was forced. But this issue is rarely mentioned.
I have to tell the truth, in fact, at that moment yesterday, Li Huayong was despised along with the head of Liang Da. Zhu Dingyuan said that he was a political star in Yangcheng, but Li Huayong thought that the future achievements of people like him were estimated to be very limited.
"Arwen ......"
Lin Yingbiao spoke again, but the first sentence was said to Zhong Zhiwen:
"Please go to the hotel banquet hall and book a room for me, I'm going to have a treat here in the evening." β
"Okay Lin Sheng. β
Looking at the back of Zhong Zhiwen leaving, Li Huayong was thoughtful, and he felt very interesting at this moment.
Lin Yingbiao obviously meant to break Zhong Zhiwen apart, just now Zhong Zhiwen wanted to leave him but didn't let him, and now he took the initiative to break him away, so what did Lin Yingbiao want to say to himself?
