Chapter 543: Liu Dong's Assets

…… Ma Chao has an elven energy in his body, and he can hear the extraordinary middle-aged man in front of him from the tone of Liu Dong and Zhou Bin's conversation just now, so as soon as Liu Dong's voice fell, Ma Chao immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Mr. Zhou!"

Zhou Bin smiled and nodded, "Since you are Mu Gang's disciple, you can also be regarded as my friend, if you have something to do in the capital in the future, you can find me!"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou!" Ma Chao hurriedly said.

Although he didn't know Zhou Bin's background, but this big package, and it was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, made Ma Chao understand the reality of this person, and most of them were the sons and young masters of the big guy's family!

"Let's go!" Because Liu Dong only had very little luggage, and Mu Gang, who was thick-lined, was like him, and the only thing Ma Chao brought was a little more clothes, so the three of them quickly sat in Zhou Bin's car.

"Fortunately, my Hummer is quite spacious, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to sit down!" Zhou Bin said with a smile.

"Brother Zhou, if you have kung fu, can you help me order two Humvees?"

"What, you want it too?"

Liu Dong nodded, "I liked it from the first time I saw you! It's a pity that Quancheng didn't sell it, and I didn't have a channel myself, so I had to ask you here!"

Of course, in addition to the reason Liu Dong said, there is also Mu Gang's huge size, except for a large car like the Hummer, he can't drive an ordinary car at all, and it's too embarrassing to sit in it!

"Okay, no problem!" Zhou Bin readily agreed, this matter was just a trivial matter for him.

Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled. Didn't say anything thankful. to their current relationship. It hurts to talk about thank you!

"By the way, Brother Zhou, will you participate in this year's Myanmar public market?" asked Liu Dong.

Originally, Zhou Bin planned to take Liu Dong to participate in Pingzhou Public Market last year, but the old man in the family was hospitalized, and later held a birthday banquet to delay, and Liu Dong himself founded the Dongchao Group and many other affairs, but it did not happen, so Zhou Bin didn't want to miss it again this time. And the current Liu Dong is not what it used to be!

"Of course I did, with you, the 'Jade King of the Northlands', by my side. If you don't participate, wouldn't you miss a good opportunity to make money in vain, you must know that Hengyuan Real Estate is still waiting for the funds to go to the pot!"

After listening, Liu Dong smiled, after listening to Wang Cheng's magnificent expansion plan, he knew how eager Hengyuan Real Estate is for funds! However, Hengyuan Real Estate is a three-person joint stock company, even if Liu Dong has the heart to invest money in it, but also must consider the opinions of the other two shareholders, after all, if the shares are expanded, with Liu Dong's current 40% shares, it is easy to occupy the position of major shareholders. When the time comes, it will inevitably have an impact on Wang Cheng and Zhou Bin, and Wang Cheng and Liu Dong can not care. But Zhou Bin can't!

Therefore, Liu Dong, who has a lot of money and is very optimistic about the real estate industry, has not taken action!

"Let's go together then!" Liu Dong said.

"Hehe, that's what I mean...... But the people of the Spring City Jade Association will let you, the Jade King, go?"

"I told them that I would contact them when I got to Myanmar!"

"What do I say...... By the way, Xiaodong, the courtyard house you bought has already been renovated!" Zhou Bin said.

From the last time Zhou Bin's grandfather celebrated his birthday, Liu Dong asked Zhou Bin to help him find a better courtyard house in the capital, with Zhou Bin's energy, this kind of thing is naturally not difficult, but when he is optimistic, Liu Dong is already in Quancheng, and he has to learn from Master Wuxin, and he can't get out, so he just called Zhou Bin about his requirements and decoration style, and the other party was responsible for finding a decoration company for him!

"Hehe, now I finally have a foothold in the capital!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

Although Li Lao's courtyard is good, it can't accommodate the three of them!

……

In 2001, on the eve of municipal development, a large number of old Beijing-Beijing courtyard houses were still preserved here, and they were not demolished!

"Xiaodong, what are you looking at?" Noticing that Liu Dong had been looking out the window, Zhou Bin couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Brother Zhou, do these courtyards have owners?" asked Liu Dongfei.

Chinese have always had the habit of hiding treasures, such as gold and silver, and even antiques, in order to keep secret, they will often bury them underground, or the mezzanine of the wall, or other more hidden places, and since the three dynasties of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties fixed the capital, for thousands of years, it is unknown how many valuable treasures are buried in this imperial city, but when Liu Dong was bored just now, when he wanted to see what he had gained, he accidentally found more than one treasure hiding place.

Among the precious things, even Liu Dong, who has a rich collection, is extremely hot.

"In this alley, there are still half of the people who live in it, and the rest of the rich people have long since moved away! Some of the former government offices are now vacant!" Zhou Bin said.

From the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, the hutongs and courtyards became the basic connotation of the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. Then, after the expansion and development of the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially the Qing Dynasty, the banner people lived in the city system, so that all the Han people in the city moved to the outer city, and the inner city was only full of people. This measure objectively promoted the development of the outer city, and also further adjusted and enriched the first house in the inner city.

The most representative residential building of the Qing Dynasty was the palace-style first house, which was the large and medium-sized courtyard house where bureaucrats, landlords, and wealthy merchants lived. The Qing Dynasty was the peak of the development of courtyard houses in Beijing.

Japan's invasion of China brought great changes to Chinese society. Due to inflation, rising prices, and the deterioration of the economic situation of the public, many residents who used to live in single-family homes can no longer afford to maintain more houses, so they have to rent out their surplus houses to subsidize their lives with rent. There are fewer and fewer houses for residents, and there are more and more tenants in the courtyards. The detached courtyard house began to turn into a large courtyard with multiple households, and the living nature of the courtyard house changed.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were fundamental changes in the use of traditional courtyard houses in Beijing.

Due to the change of ownership, many palaces and mansions left over from the Qing Dynasty were changed from private property to public property. They were no longer occupied by the aristocracy of yesteryear, but became public housing for state offices, schools, hospitals, factories, kindergartens, clubs, etc. The change of use function has created an intractable contradiction between the building itself and the needs of users. The end result. It's not people who obey architecture. Rather, the building has been transformed.

Those courtyards, which are still used for residential purposes, are no longer exclusively occupied, but have become "miscellaneous courtyards" for multi-family living. These changes in use have made it difficult for the courtyard to maintain its former profundity, tranquility, elegance and warmth, and it has become a common phenomenon for the courtyard to be divided, renovated and divided.

Immediately after that, the Cultural Revolution swept away the exquisite brick carvings, wood carvings, stone carvings, and colorful paintings in the courtyard, and countless works of art of great value were either smashed into pieces or plastered. Very few survived. The nationwide burrowing campaign that followed to "prepare for war" further destroyed the original layout and drainage system of the courtyards! Later, due to the impact of the Tangshan earthquake, the 'earthquake-resistant sheds' became permanent buildings in the courtyards, and with the growth of the population, these earthquake-resistant sheds later became permanent buildings, making the courtyards unrecognizable.

After this series of historical changes, the original courtyard is spacious, the flowers and plants are abundant, and the scenery is elegant. Tranquil and quiet, the courtyard has basically disappeared into the dust of history!

Of course, there are also many businessmen who prefer the seclusion of the courtyard now. Even foreigners, such as Liu Dong!

"What's the matter, Xiaodong, it's not enough to buy a yard, do you still want it?" Zhou Bin said with a smile.

"Yes, there are more and more people buying courtyard houses in Beijing, and the courtyard houses are quite valuable for investment, so I plan to buy more, modernize them, and then sell them, or...... Change it to a hotel!" Liu Dong said after a little thought.

Zhou Bin nodded and said, "The idea is good, but it's not that easy to do...... First of all, most of the current courtyard houses are located in the first and second rings, and the house prices are basically around four or five thousand, and the smallest courtyard house covers an area of two or three hundred square meters. In addition, there are at least seven or eight households, or even more than a dozen households, in many medium- and large-sized courtyards, and if they want to take back the houses from them, they must have enough new houses to accommodate them, and now a 100-square-meter three-bedroom house in the Fourth Ring Road costs 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, and according to the calculation of eight large and medium-sized households for each large and medium-sized courtyard, you will need at least 1.5 million yuan to buy a large and medium-sized courtyard house!

"In this way, the renovation cost of a small courtyard house of 200~400 square meters is about 3 million, the reconstruction cost of a medium-sized courtyard house of 500~1200 square meters is about 10 million, and the reconstruction cost of a large courtyard house of more than 1200 square meters is 10 million, 20 million, or even more!

Moreover, among them, Zhou Bin has not said the administrative cost, that is, the benefits of buying a courtyard house need to open up all aspects of the relationship and must be handed over!

If it's just Liu Dong, this is not a small expense, but with Zhou Bin here, Liu Dong naturally doesn't need to spend more money, and he can even get a lower price on the house price!

However, even with these conveniences, investing in the courtyard is still a capital-heavy investment project, and it doesn't matter if you want to play in the tens or hundreds, without hundreds of millions of funds, don't think about it.

Of course, Liu Dong, who has just made a fortune from Wang Kun, belongs to the category of having capital.

According to the cost calculated by Zhou Bin, Liu Dong based on the 520 million Huaxia coins that he now has in his hands and can use, and simply calculated, all the funds spent on buying land, demolition and later decoration until moving in are included, 200 million should be able to win 10 sets of large courtyards, another 200 million can win 20 sets of medium-sized courtyards, and the remaining 120 million can win 70 sets of small courtyards!

If you do a hotel, the large courtyard is equivalent to the presidential suite, and the medium-sized courtyard is equivalent to the luxury suite, the small courtyard is the ordinary suite, the distribution is quite reasonable, and in the capital, the international metropolis, such an antique hotel is not lacking in guests. It's just that the scale is a little smaller, but it doesn't matter, you can continue to invest in it in the future.

In addition, if this hotel can really be built, it will also be a great boost to the brand of Jiahua Hotel! And with the current rate of rising housing prices in Beijing, the money I invest now is likely to rise several times or more than ten times in the future, which is a sure deal!

The only drawback is that the funds invested in the early stage are too large, but the most abundant thing in Liu Dong's hands now is the funds! Excluding the gold and silver that has just arrived, the funds obtained from Wang Kun and Fujita Ichiro alone are $214 million, 450 million Huaxia dollars! In addition to the $150 million given to Qingyang Venture Capital and the $120 million order with Vichai Sawan Suxi, Liu Dong still has $285 million in his hands! Among them, 200 million was an asset that originally belonged to Ma Chao's grandfather, but he missed it and fell into Liu Dong's hands!

In this way, the two items are added together, and the funds available to Liu Dong now have 499 million US dollars, 520 million Huaxia yuan! This money is enough for Liu Dong to purchase a courtyard house, participate in the Burmese public market, and the purchase of art that has already been implemented!

As for the company's development funds, Liu Dong intends to take out a loan, anyway, Myanmar's jade can provide him with enough collateral!

"You don't really plan to buy it, do you?" Looking at the look of intention on Liu Dong's face, Zhou Bin couldn't help but be surprised.

"Well, now that housing prices are growing rapidly, the courtyard house is also a good investment project!" Liu Dong nodded.

In fact, Zhou Bin also knows that although the initial investment in the courtyard is huge, it must also be profitable, but compared with the more lucrative investment in modern apartment buildings and business buildings, the renovation cost of the courtyard is too great, especially the residents inside are a headache, so Zhou Bin never thought of investing in the courtyard!

"Brother Zhou, you will be indispensable for your help when the time comes!" Liu Dong is not stupid, the 520 million yuan of funds was originally only able to get 100 sets of yards, but with Zhou Bin, not only does he save a lot of expenses to open up various yamen, but also can get the courtyard at a lower price, even if it can only be cheaper by a few hundred yuan per square meter, but it can also allow Liu Dong to buy four or five more sets of yards, this kind of cheapness, it is a fool not to take possession.

Of course, this is also a debt of favor, but this is the case with interpersonal interactions, if you always think about fairness, you will make yourself very isolated!
