Chapter Eighty-Four: Investing in Nimbo
"Nimber City wants to invite us to invest?"
Qin Ran was indeed a little surprised when he heard the news.
"Yes, you are moving a lot in Wenzhou, so Ningbo City can't sit still."
Luo Yuanchao responded with a smile.
Last year, Wenzhou's total GDP was only 6 billion less than that of Ningbo City, and the two sister cities have been competing for rankings. Now Jiangnan Real Estate is 2 billion yuan in Wenzhou, driving GDP to more than 10 billion, how to let the rulers of Ningbo City stand by and watch.
It will soon become a sweet spot for the local government to compete for, which is much faster than Qin Ran expected.
"Let's take a look and talk about it first! It doesn't matter whether you invest or not, you can make a friend first, otherwise I promised that my friend would not be good for you. ”
Hearing the hesitation in Qin Ran's tone, Luo Yuanchao caught fire while it was hot.
"Okay, I'll visit Nimbo City in two days."
In any case, since Ningbo City has come to the door, Jiangnan Real Estate will definitely respond. Maintaining good relations with the government has always been Qin Ran's policy.
Jiangnan Group Company was established, but it was not officially listed, and an eight-story office building was reserved in Qinran, Xiziwan, as the office space of the group company. The building is currently under renovation and will be opened at the same time as the opening of the first phase of Xiziwan.
The summer vacation was coming to an end soon, and Han Peng embarked on a journey home under Qin Ran's farewell. This time, Qin Ran bought him a sleeper ticket, and the journey was much easier. The salary of the internship for 2 months is 3,000 yuan, Han Peng is tightly held in his arms, Qin Ran asked him not to do it in the bank, and he feels at ease and a sense of accomplishment when he holds the fruits of his labor in his hands. What's more, Han Peng was reluctant to spend the fee, and Qin Ran saw this, so he had to let him go.
Han Peng first ran errands with Chen Hao for this internship, and later Chen Hao was transferred to Wenzhou, and he followed Li Desheng. He may not have learned much about specific technical work, but his horizons have broadened a lot, which has a positive impact on his future life path choice. This change in Han Peng's attitude could be clearly felt from Qin Ran's chat with him.
"When you go back, remember to study hard, and welcome to come back during the winter vacation."
This time, Qin Ran took the initiative to invite.
"Well, don't worry, we'll see you during the winter vacation!"
With a wave of his hand, Qin Ran said goodbye to his good brother Han Peng.
Two days later, under the coordination of the Liaison Office of the Ningbo Municipal Government, Qin Ran led the senior management of Jiangnan Real Estate Company to visit Ningbo City. Different from Wenzhou's vigorous development of private enterprise model, Ningbo takes the road of vigorously introducing foreign-funded enterprises. Each of them represents a development model, with more industrial zones in Ningbo than in Wenzhou, but fewer cars on the street than in Wenzhou. In a word, there are many bosses in Wenzhou and many workers in Ningbo.
Xu Jimin, secretary of the Ningbo Municipal Party Committee, came forward to receive Qin Ran and his party with a high standard, making Qin Ran feel the sincerity of the other party.
"Secretary Xu, the development momentum of Ningbo City is very strong, and we are also optimistic about the prospects of local investment."
Of course, Qin Ran wanted to say a few words.
"Mr. Qin, I understand all the kind words. I just want to ask, when will you be able to invest in Ningbo Dynamics? ”
Xu Jimin asked straight to the point.
"Since Secretary Xu is so frank, then I won't go in circles. Nimbo City was originally the city we planned to enter in the next phase, and we were not prepared enough for it in terms of money and personnel. ”
The market has just opened, first come, first served, Qin Ran knows this truth. However, expansion requires capital, and Jiangnan Real Estate cannot afford to open two bases in a row for a while.
"If you are not prepared enough, you are prepared. Mr. Qin, Jiangzhou and Ningbo are 200 kilometers away and can be reached in 2 hours by car. You can think of Ningbo as a place in the far suburbs of Jiangzhou, and people can be dispatched directly in Jiangzhou Company. Well, the land I have in hand, you can take which piece you like, and the price is negotiable. Now there are still some agreements to transfer land quotas, and there is no such shop in this village after that. As long as you come to invest, start construction immediately, and everything is easy to discuss. We can also give the conditions given by Wenzhou, and we can also give what they can't give. ”
Why has Ningbo City been absorbing foreign investment at a rapid pace every year in recent years? It is inseparable from the courage of Xu Jimin, secretary of the municipal party committee.
"The loss of small profits in front of us is nothing, and the jobs, tax revenues and GDP brought by investors can quickly make up for these losses! Attracting investment is like doing business, and we must take a long-term view. ”
This is what Xu Jimin often says to his subordinates.
Xu Jimin promised to transfer 120,000 square meters of land in the center of Ningbo to Jiangnan Real Estate with an agreement of 50 million. At the same time, with a stroke of the pen, the 320,000 square meters of old city renovation project was allocated to Jiangnan Real Estate for 1 yuan, and the government only required that the aborigines be properly resettled and a modern urban area should be built. The prerequisite is that in the next three years, Qin Ran will ensure that there will be 2.5 billion yuan of capital investment in Ningbo City, which will be more than Wenzhou investment in any case.
The land in the center of 120,000 square meters is worth 50 million, and the renovation of the old city of 320,000 square meters for 1 yuan is also very profitable, but the bait is too big, and Qin Ran is afraid that he will choke to death if he is not careful.
The renovation of the old city involves demolition, and how many social problems will be caused by demolition is a very headache. At the same time, the renovation of the old city is still a systematic project, not only to build residential buildings, but also to have supporting commercial facilities and public land, which requires overall overall planning.
"Secretary Xu, the conditions you gave are very attractive, and it is false for me to say that I am not tempted. However, in the renovation of the old city, our company is afraid that it is not enough to operate alone. If the local government is willing to take responsibility, then our company is willing to bear the corresponding costs. Otherwise, we can't do anything to renovate the old city. ”
Qin Ran didn't want to take over the demolition work, it was better for the government to come forward than his own company.
"The government has long decided to renovate the old city, but it has been delayed for several years because of lack of money. Now it is said that running a city, you real estate developers help to renovate the city, residents change their homes, the city changes its face, and developers also have money to make, no matter how you look at it, it is a win-win strategy. Since sooner or later it will have to be demolished, there is nothing wrong with the government stepping in. I promise you that the demolition of the old city will be led by our government, and you will cooperate on the sidelines. ”
In 1998, demolition was still a relatively rare word in the eyes of Chinese people. Because the value of the land has not yet appeared at this time, just like Xu Jimin's promise to transfer the land in the old city for 1 yuan, the Chinese people do not know enough about the land under their feet.
The renovation of the old city is afraid that it will encounter nail households. Every day it drags on, the developer suffers huge losses. This is because the residents who move out first will have to pay subsidized rent, the interest pressure of investing huge development funds, the liquidated damages to be paid to the construction company if the construction cannot start on time, and the date of completion and delivery of the house will be affected. If you encounter an economic downturn and fail to launch at the expected time, it is likely that the project will be unfinished.
Qin Ran signed the transfer agreement of 120,000 square meters very quickly, but Qin Ran paid attention to the renovation of the old city, and it must be written in the agreement that the government is responsible for the demolition work, otherwise Jiangnan Real Estate can suspend investment at any time.
The Ningbo branch will not be established for the time being, and the Jiangzhou company will be responsible for the management, and the specific operation Qin Ran will be handed over to Zhou Zhidong. For the transfer fee of 50 million, Ningbo City promised to allow Jiangnan Real Estate to pay 3% first, and the remaining 7% will be made up after the real estate is sold. With the experience of Wenzhou, the first construction of Ningbo City is also a 120,000-square-meter plot in the center of the city, with the same floor area ratio and landscape, with a construction area of 192,000 square meters and 1,295 houses, and the construction party is a new partner, Hudong Construction Engineering. The loan was undertaken by the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Ningbo, and they issued a loan of 150 million yuan to the project.
Liu Xufeng, as a senior consultant from a world-class consulting firm, vaguely raised to Qin Ran the concern that the company was expanding too fast.
"The Ningbo project can be slowed down, and we obviously don't have enough manpower."
"That's why I asked you to solve this problem, our company has almost zero talent pool, and we need your help to recruit talents."
Qin Ran smiled, and then continued.
"I also know that the step is a bit big, but it's always good to make more money, and we won't have such a good chance to get land at a low price in the future."
This time in Wenzhou and Ningbo, Jiangnan Real Estate did have the advantage of being a pioneer, and obtained a lot of land at a price far below the market price. This wave, Qin Ran regarded it as the first pot of gold accumulated in his heart, and how much he could collect. This year and next year, with the three bases of Jiangzhou, Wenzhou and Ningbo continue to withdraw funds, Jiangnan Real Estate has the confidence to enter Hudong City and start to enter the country. Judging from the energy invested by Qin Ran, Jiangzhou is obviously an important town, and Jiangnan Real Estate is very attentive to operating there. Wenzhou and Ningbo are Qin Ran's sub-bases for making a fortune, he did not conduct research and planning for the characteristics of the two places, and took advantage of the prophet to understand that there would be a rush to buy real estate, so he simply copied the Xiziwan copy and made quick money.
"In terms of compensation and benefits, I would like to know your standards? Otherwise, I won't be able to fix my job and salary. ”
As a professional group company, the salary and benefits can no longer be calculated as casually said by Qin Ran before, but must be scientifically measured and evaluated.
"It is necessary to keep up with the standards of domestic first-class peer companies, and at the same time exceed 20% of the income of local peers."
The salary of 20% higher than that of local counterparts is the primary criterion for Qin Ran to attract outstanding talents. Because where there is contrast, there will be a sense of happiness.
"Well, I'll design it according to your wishes. What about the company's talent recruitment focus? ”
The choice of campus recruitment or social recruitment will affect a company's talent strategic layout.
"Campus recruitment is the mainstay, supplemented by social recruitment."
Qin Ran likes to recruit new employees in the school because they are more malleable, but the training cost will also increase.
"Well, it's pretty much what I expected. The cohesion and loyalty of the employees recruited by the campus are very high, and if you want the company to build a long-lasting business, these reliable backbones are indispensable. ”
Liu Xufeng nodded in agreement.
"The assessment system of employees should be established, and there is no whip in the back, and it is easy to form a situation of lazy sheep herding."
Qin Ran thought about it and explained further.
"Oh, and the Ningbo branch still needs to be set up as much as possible, which is also one of the priorities of your work in the near future."
Since there are professional talents, then Qin Ran lost all these things to Liu Xufeng.
Because he's going back to campus soon, as an ordinary sophomore in high school.
