Nangong Tianxiang looked at this group of people with confusion, wondering if they really understood investnt.
"What if we have connections?" Nangong Tianmi sat down next to Nangong Tianxiang, lit a cigarette, and smiled. However, after lighting the cigarette, he seed to notice Ye Hao's presence and passed him a cigarette.
Ye Hao didn't mind the cigarette being cheap; although he was wealthy, he didn't dislike this type of cigarette. On the contrary, he felt it was spicy and strong.
Ye Hao lit the cigarette and quietly listened to what they were talking about. It seed they were already planning to help Ye Hao with work in Shanghai before he even agreed, and they also had a preliminary plan on how much money it would take to develop a tourist spot at the Bund.
Ye Hao was amused to see what kind of talents Cheng Zhengyang had secretly praised in people like Nangong Tianmi, who could earn the admiration of a high-ranking official in private.
Ye Hao thought if Cheng Zhengyang ran into Nangong Tianmi outside, he would definitely have a good chat about the undeveloped aspects of Shanghai. Although developnt didn't require much intervention from Cheng Zhengyang, as a leader at his level, he had long thrown away the notion of personal gain and focused purely on benefiting the people.
"With connections, you could save at least a slap." Duanmu Renzhi raised his palm, implying that developing the Bund tourist spot could save fifty billion. However, after saying this, he added behind his back: "The precondition is that the connections must be with soone in the city council."
"Haha, then there's nothing to worry about in that aspect. If we collaborate with my brother-in-law, where would be the most profitable for developnt?" Nangong Tianmi said with a smile.
"Yes, but there's a ti issue. Even a year isn't enough to build houses. The first phase requires at least half a year to comnce, the second phase necessitates a significant financial flow, the third phase can recover at least fifty percent of the cost, and the fourth phase starts making profit, with subsequent ones yielding great profits." Duanmu Renzhi smiled.
"Are you talking about the old city site, surrounded by the Huangpu River under our feet?" Nangong Tianmi pointed towards the ground and asked.
"Correct, this is the most profitable real estate land. Although the nearby old city site isn't sufficient for developing many phases of luxury villas, hundreds of top-notch luxury villas, apartnts, or comrcial buildings are still possible. In Shanghai, where every inch of land is like gold, as long as we slightly renovate the old city site, it will undoubtedly beco a central hub after over a decade of developnt. However, developing here absolutely requires substantial financial investnt." Duanmu Renzhi said.
"According to our preliminary understanding, this land is roughly over a thousand acres, with each acre priced no less than five million. If we want to acquire the entire old city site surrounded by the Huangpu River, at least fifty billion needs to be dropped, which is a conservative estimate not including the 'gifts' for so connections." Nangong Tianmi said with a laugh, seemingly informing Ye Hao about the estimated cost for developnt.
"Fifty billion is just for the land. Getting a certificate from the National Land Bureau would cost another amount." Duanmu Renzhi said.
"Then how much is needed for the initial plan? The first phase investnt?" Nangong Tianmi and Duanmu Renzhi simultaneously looked at a brother sitting next to them.
A bespectacled man sitting next to Nangong Tianmi, Li Xiang, adjusted his glasses and swiftly said: "No less than seventy-five billion. That's just the cost for acquiring the land and dealing with so stubborn residents for the first phase."
Then Guo Zhi, sitting next to Duanmu Renzhi, chid in: "That's for the first phase. The second phase would require another investnt."
"Around twenty billion would be needed for materials in the second phase," comnted Yu Wen, who was with Nangong Tianmi, and Mo Liang, who was with Duanmu Renzhi.
"Haha! Don't worry. As long as materials are procured well, labor costs can be managed with just a billion." A sturdy man, Zhou Tao, sitting next to Nangong Tianmi, laughed.
"A billion? Isn't that a bit too little?" Fan Mountain, sitting next to Duanmu Renzhi, looked at Zhou Tao displeased and remarked.
"How's that too little? If the first phase runs smoothly and materials for the second phase arrive, I'll find workers to develop here." Zhou Tao glanced at Fan Mountain and said.
The two then got into an argunt one sentence after another, and Ye Hao laughed.
Nangong Tianmi and Duanmu Renzhi also looked at them with a grin, not minding how they argued, knowing full well after arguing they would communicate together anyway, with or without a clash.
Nangong Tianxiang was thoroughly baffled, thinking these people were mad. Why would Ye Hao bother listening to them? And instantly investing tens of billions.
In the end, Nangong Tianmi spoke up, laughing: "Alright, alright, stop arguing. You both have valid points, but these aren't grounded in reality. If you really want to make money, better ask if my brother-in-law is interested in investing!"
Only then did everyone rember the real boss sitting there watching.
Everyone turned to look at Ye Hao.
Ye Hao laughed at their gaze: "You've said so much. Do you have any reliable evidence?"
"Of course we do! Mo Liang, get my folder." Duanmu Renzhi looked at Mo Liang next to him.
Mo Liang imdiately fetched a thick stack of papers, each sheet marked with pencil traces, densely notated, so much so that only a professional could decipher what was written.
But Ye Hao, being able to understand complex data graphs at a glance, found these formula charts no challenge.
Ye Hao took the thick stack, quickly scanning a few sheets, flipping through each page, taking about ten minutes to finish reviewing the stack.
After Ye Hao finished reading, he was astonished; even the square ters for a restroom were ticulously calculated, dividing the area into leisure and comrcial zones.
Feeling an urge, Ye Hao asked: "Do you have any pencils and large sheets of paper?"
"Yes." Mo Liang promptly fetched a sheet and pencil.
Ye Hao asked everyone to clear items from the table to another, and wiped off any water stains from the surface. Using the detailed data maps and building cards from Duanmu Renzhi earlier, he began drawing a 2D layout plan of the old city site.
Ye Hao spent an hour dedicatedly inputting, leveraging his extraordinary mory, sketching out diagram after diagram of the layout.
People watched in increasing astonishnt, with Nangong Tianmi also watching wide-eyed, wondering if his brother-in-law was that skilled? The items drawn could rival his own.
He too had drawn a plan based on Duanmu Renzhi's detailed data, but it was not as comprehensive as Ye Hao's, who even marked detailed asurents and walkways.
When Ye Hao put down his pencil, everyone was stunned by the grand vision on the blueprint...(to be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote, drop monthly tickets, your support will be my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
