After the completion of the building, the offices of Fidelity Properties and Fidelity Properties were moved here, and the new office was much more magnificent than the previous environment, and at first glance it made people feel that it was a powerful large company.

Although the two companies are two brands as a whole, they are still divided into two parts in form according to Zhou Liwen's requirements, accounting for half of the east wing and half of the west wing of the entire floor. With the development of several projects under the real estate company, the internal structure of the company is also correspondingly complete. In addition, Huhai is the headquarters, but there are large projects in Kyoto and Heijiang, including Huacheng, so there are branches in each of these three places.

The Heijiang branch is the largest in the three places, even larger than the Huhai headquarters. This is of course because of the urban renewal project in Heijiang, and Richard has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this project, which is the most important part of their joint project.

At present, Lu Ziliang, as the vice president of the real estate company, is based in Heijiang, and Xiao Jin, the project manager of the real estate company, is also in charge of project follow-up in Heijiang. As for the project manager, Xiao Jin, as the first project manager of the real estate company, was promoted to the position of vice president after the success of the real estate project of the third branch, and at the same time helped the company to dig several talents from the design and urban construction departments to serve as the project manager in each project.

At present, there are two real estate projects in Shanghai at the same time, and if you count one of Richard's projects by Futura Properties, there are a total of three projects in progress. Cao Bin took Zhou Liwen and Richard to visit the company's new office space, and then invited them to his general manager's office to report to the two bosses.

Of the three ongoing projects, the two plots of land owned by Zhou Liwen Fidelity Real Estate are planned to be built into high-end communities, and as for Fuli Real Estate, that is, the land that Richard cooperated with is built as an office building, this difference has the reason for the unequal plot ratio of the three projects, because Zhou Liwen's two plots of land plot ratio is B Richard's 6 From the perspective of plot ratio, of course, the larger the number, the higher the building can be built, so Richard did not hesitate to choose the construction of high-end office buildings in the project plan.

After listening to the project report, Zhou Liwen nodded with satisfaction, several projects are progressing very well, if there are no accidents, wait until the end of this year and the beginning of next year, these three projects can be completed one after another.

When Zhou Liwen was in the United States, Richard knew a little more about the Shanghai and Shanghai projects than Zhong Liwen, and even went to the construction site of his high-end office building to see it in person. However, only a little more than two months later, he was equally happy to hear about the current project, because it was much faster than he expected.

"Not bad, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Cao, I'll give you a big red envelope after the cap" Richard promised with a smile, Cao Bin was overjoyed, but in front of the boss, he still put on a look of honor and disgrace, raised his butt from the sofa and said in a continuous voice What kind of words should this be.

After a few laughs and conversations, Richard set his eyes on Zhou Liwen, who was sitting beside him.

"BAV, I don't understand why you want to build such a high-end community, and make the community facilities so complicated? Is it necessary? If you are engaged in a commercial building like me, or even a commercial and residential building, I am afraid that it will be completed two months earlier than my project, and as soon as the house is sold, the profit will be in hand, isn't it?

As he spoke, Richard shook his head in confusion, in his opinion, Zhou Liwen's situation was completely worth the loss. Isn't it good to build a building with the current branch factory project? Why bother to engage in any high-end community? Moreover, Zhou Liwen also made a complex design for the two projects that he could not understand, not only stipulating a large area of greening, but also reserving enough parking spaces, and digging a large underground garage underground, the construction cost and maintenance of this garage alone is a huge expense.

Even, Zhou Liwen has also made a careful design for the room type of the community, completely abandoning the current mainland regulations on the floor height of ordinary communities, and relaxing the floor height to more than five meters, which is simply higher than the floor height of the business building. As for the size of the single suite, it is also a large room type, using the curtain wall design of the highest level of business building, with 8 rooms to the south, and the north side is completely abandoned as a passage or entrance to the gate and kitchen. This design reduces the utilization rate of the housing area a lot, and the housing rate is not high. From the beginning, neither Richard nor Cao Bin and others were optimistic about this design, but Zhou Liwen finally launched these two projects under Zhou Liwen's insistence.

In terms of location, both of Zhou Liwen's projects are in the best areas of Shanghai, one of which is located in the old French concession, that is, about three kilometers north of Zhou Liwen's mansion, next to the embassy district. The other is located by the river, and across the river is the seat of the famous old city government. Judging from these two positions, if it is used as a commercial building, it is very sought-after in the market, but Zhou Liwen made such a choice, and Richard still hasn't figured out why he is so.

"My thinking is different from yours, why, do you want to know the answer?" Zhou Liwen asked with a smile.

"Of course," Richard said with an eyebrow, and even Cao Bin on the side suddenly pricked up his ears.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhou Liwen asked with a smile: "According to your estimates, how many square meters can you sell for your business building after it is completed?" ”

"It's not easy to estimate, after all, the current real estate price in the mainland is rising rapidly." Richard glanced at Cao Bin and pondered: "Now the price of the building we sit on is 26 per square meter, right?" Mr. Cao still has 2 in his hand for the time being, and he should also think that the price will continue to rise, maybe it will break through 36 per square in a few months? Did I guess right? ”

Cao Bin nodded and said: "What Li Dong said is good, but it won't take a few months, now the market price has risen to 36, and it is certain that it will break through 10,000 by the end of the year." ”

Richard was a little surprised, and soon smiled: "I didn't expect that the price has risen a lot since I didn't come to Shanghai for two months, which is not bad." So according to the calculation, although the location of my business building is not as good as here, it should be possible to sell it at a price of 10,000 yuan at least next year, maybe it will be higher. ”

Zhou Liwen smiled, stretched out his hand to the soles of his feet and pointed: "Richard, you are still a real estate family, should we make a bet?" How about giving you a yacht if your real estate doesn't rise to 506 next year? ”

"How much? 560" Richard was stunned for a moment, but then he shook his head and smiled: "I don't want to fight with you in this bet, although I believe in my own vision, but compared to you, I think it's still a little worse." Besides, the faster this house price rises, the more profit I will make, which is obviously a good thing, so why bet on it? ”

Zhou Liwen suddenly laughed, shook his head again and again, and said that Richard is too cunning, since it is a good thing to make money, he doesn't consider plucking his hair to give everyone a good time, why be so stingy.

Richard disagreed with Zhou Liwen's joke, and then asked Zhou Liwen about his answer just now.

"It's very simple, I plan to sell the completed properties of the two projects at a price of about 60,000 to 5,560 yuan next year"

Zhou Liwen's confident words surprised the two people sitting at the same time, they looked at each other, they didn't expect Zhou Liwen to offer such a high price, he wasn't joking?

You must know that at present, the price of the best real estate in the best area of Shanghai is only more than 10,000 yuan, even if it is the bungalows owned by Zhou Liwen and his mansion, if it is converted according to the area, it is impossible to reach the average price of 20,000 yuan. Of course, these prices are priceless, but at least they can be used as a reference. What's more, those old houses have historical value and cultural significance, and they are not of the same grade as the new real estate at all, where did Zhou Liwen get so much confidence?

"After the real estate is completed, I will find a decoration company to decorate the house and sell it as a fully decorated boutique house." Zhou Liwen continued.

Richard shook his head again and again when he heard this, Zhou Liwen is no stranger to this approach, because many real estate projects in Xiangjiang do this, and the real estate development company under his name has also done a lot of this kind of project. But the problem is that the real estate on the Xiangjiang side is rarely a large-area real estate, in view of the small number of people in Xiangjiang, the general residential buildings are small room type, every inch of land is expensive, and the design is desperately excavated and used space. But Zhou Liwen's project is different, he is completely contrary, and even sacrifices the usable area for the comfort of the environment under the premise of large room type and large space, and even sells it in the form of a boutique house for decoration. Richard is not optimistic about this approach at all.

Not only Richard, but even Cao Bin was blinded. Chinese people are different from foreign countries, the difference is mainly a matter of habit, especially in the mainland, all people who buy a house like to design their own decoration, so from the beginning of the mainland 3 years after the real estate market officially opened to the present, the basic sale of the house is a rough house, except for only a few sample rooms, all the rooms are solved by the buyer himself.

Zhou Liwen will not only increase the cost, but even face the situation of not being able to buy it when the price is so high. Thinking of this, Cao Bin couldn't help but open his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but thinking of Zhou Liwen's almost impossible to look up to, he swallowed these words back, after all, he was just a subordinate who worked part-time, he was not Richard, if the boss didn't like to listen to what he said, he would be unlucky.

Looking at their expressions, Zhou Liwen couldn't help but sigh secretly, he now knows why the Li family in Xiangjiang is so famous in the real estate industry, and whether it is Li Chaoren or Richard, they have invested a lot of money in the mainland real estate market, but in fact, the final profit and reputation in the mainland are not as good as the Tomson Group.

Speaking of Tomson Group, the first thing in the minds of future generations will flash the four golden characters of Tomson Yipin. Since 205, Tomson Group has developed four high-end and luxurious Tomson residences and a high-end clubhouse on Binjiang Avenue in Shanghai. In the 2uu year, the residential and clubhouse were officially completed, and in August of that year, they were sold at a price of 30,000 per square meter, creating the highest sky-high price in China's real estate overnight.

What's even more amazing is still to come, such sky-high prices are not unsalable, but are sought after by domestic tycoons. It didn't take long for all of these properties to be sold out, and the wealthy people in China were trembling to own a Tomson mansion and become their capital to show off their wealth.

Now is of course not the 2UU year, because by the 2UU year, the average price of real estate in the urban area of Shanghai has exceeded 20,000, and it is marching straight to 10,000. Of these, only Zhou Liwen knows best among the three people here, as for the bungalows he owns and his own mansion, the price has risen faster, and when it comes to 20 years, it is easy for the price per square meter to exceed 00,000.

Zhou Liwen built these two projects in this way, in fact, he followed the path of Tomson Yipin back then, and attracted the group of wealthy people who got rich first in China with unprecedented boutique mansions.

In his opinion, waiting until next year, not to mention the price of 5560 per square meter, if it is done properly, it is natural to sell it even at a higher price. Although he invested far more than Richard's average investment in these two projects, he also received much more and was able to use them to build his real estate company's reputation in the country.

What's more, Zhou Liwen's two projects are no worse than the riverside location of Tomson Yipin in later generations. The area by the river is close to the riverside boulevard, but the environment and view are better. As for the old French concession area, it is even more attractive from the perspective of the cultural environment and the central area of Shanghai. From the perspective of the high-rise space of the project, Zhou Liwen's real estate does not have a building like the high-rise Tomson Yipin, but it is better from the perspective of the surrounding environment and the greening of the community, including facilities and details. After all, Zhou Liwen's vision is ahead of his time, and he knows better than anyone what the best real estate and residents' needs are in the future. This is also the design and construction of a huge underground parking garage and community environment that he has spent a lot of money on to outsiders who don't seem to need it at all.

"You guy is crazy, this is the mainland, not abroad, even if this kind of house is Xiangjiang, very few people will buy it." Richard looked at Zhou Liwen with a strange look, and he thought that Zhou Liwen's whimsy would definitely not succeed. As he said, even if this kind of house is placed in Xiangjiang, not too many people will buy it, because the rich would prefer to live in villas on the top of the hill or in Repulse Bay, while ordinary people will generally only buy small houses with high area, and it is impossible to buy such expensive and impractical houses.

However, in foreign countries, especially New York in the United States, or Tokyo in Japan, this kind of luxury real estate is very marketable. But this limitation is limited to large cities like New York, and it is also impossible to do so in other cities in the United States. Richard even felt that Zhou Liwen had been in the United States for a long time, or because he had stayed in Tokyo last time, maybe he saw this situation in those places, and he made such a bizarre decision without carefully considering the reality gap.

In general, Richard is not optimistic about Zhou Liwen's choice at all, and he even thinks that Zhou Liwen is more certain than a loss in trading.

"Hehe, you won't bet before, why don't we make another bet? The stakes are still on the yacht I just mentioned. Zhou Liwen asked with a noncommittal smile.

"What yacht? Don't tell me it's only a dozen meters long. This time, Richard became interested, and he felt that this bet could still be played, and the possibility of winning was very high. For this reason, he even deliberately asked.

"How is it possible" Zhou Liwen immediately said briskly: "At least it must be more than 2 meters long, as for the brand, Ferretti or Pershing, or Beneteau, you can choose." ”

Richard suddenly smiled, pretended to think about it, and said: "It's still Ferretti, I heard that they are about to launch a new model, and I'll look for information when I go back." ”

"No problem" Zhou Liwen agreed, and then the two laughed happily as if they were both winners.

The two of them made an understatement bet, which made Cao Bin dumbfounded, he had also come into contact with yachts when he was first engaged in real estate in the South China Sea, and he knew a little about yachts. As one of the world's most famous yacht manufacturers, Ferretti is one of them, not to mention a custom yacht more than 2 meters long, even a production yacht of more than 0 meters will cost at least more than 300,000 US dollars. According to the current exchange rate, it is 260,000 yuan.

Of course, the yacht that Richard and Zhou Liwen bet on Cao Bin doesn't know what model it will be in the end, but if you think about it, it will definitely not be a mass-produced type, if it is a custom type, a yacht 3 meters long or even longer and wider, the price may exceed 10 million US dollars. With such a big bet, they are as light as if they are playing sanitary mahjong with ordinary people and betting on one piece or two.

"I'm curious, bav, can you tell me where you got that much confidence?" laughed a few times, and seeing Zhou Liwen's expression in his chest, Richard asked suspiciously.

"Did you watch a movie?" Unexpectedly, Zhou Liwen asked him rhetorically.

"Of course," Richard replied subconsciously, and at the same time wondered what it had to do with the movie.

"You know Feng Xiaogang, right?"

"I've heard of it, it's a famous director in China, but I haven't seen much of his movies." Richard thought about answering for a while, and then Zhou Liwen turned to Cao Bin and asked: "Old Cao, you should, Director Feng has a film called "Big Names, You Should Have Seen It, Right?" ”

"I've seen it, starring Ge Ge, it was released a few years ago."

"Hehe, there is a psychotic plot in the last paragraph, in which Li Chengru plays a psychopath, since you have watched Lao Cao, then find a disc for Richard to enjoy when you have time, I think some of the words of this psychopathy in the end are very reasonable, hahahahaha"

Speaking of this, Zhou Liwen couldn't help but laugh to himself, laughing forward and backward, looking at Richard and the second monk at a loss, wondering what is so good about this mental illness, is it worth him to be so happy?
