Chapter 523: Stealing chicken but losing rice
The second floor covers an area of nearly 200 square meters. The original living room and bedrooms were renovated and connected, making it appear extremely spacious.
Facing the lake on the south, the semicircular balcony is connected to the living room and decorated into a small stage. A dining table that can seat 12 people is placed on the north side, facing the balcony, making it convenient for guests who come to the club to eat and listen to music.
After going upstairs, the housekeeper led the four people through an archway and into the tea room next door.
The tea doctor, dressed in a light and transparent gauze, was already demonstrating the art of tea. Luo Yang, Liu Haishan and He Maosong came here for the first time and didn't know the rules. They could only follow the host's wishes and sit down to drink tea first.
Cai Fujun was familiar with the place and it seemed that this was not his first time here.
He communicated directly with the housekeeper of the villa by whispering, and it took about five or six minutes to finish.
"Mr. Cai, you've been so secretive since the beginning of the store. Now that you're here, can you introduce yourself?"
Liu Haishan acted carefree: "You left the city that never sleeps like Shanghai and came to this remote corner of Kunshan. Could it be that you are used to eating a lot of fish and meat and suddenly want to eat some bran pickles?"
"Tsk, look at what you said."
Cai Fujun sat down at the tea table with a smile on his face: "Old Liu, you just came back from Macau not long ago, and you just experienced the World Expo. That was the feast of fish, meat, and seafood."
"Hahaha"
He Maosong, who rarely laughed, also let go of his emotions and laughed.
"cut!"
It is estimated that Liu Haishan really went to the World Expo in Macau. After being corrected by Cai Fujun, he did not refute it.
"Brother Luo, aren't you curious?"
After being gagged, Lao Liu turned to Luo Yang, hoping that he would ask Cai Fujun.
"Brother Cai has already made arrangements, and we'll know the outcome soon. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Luo Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying with a smile: "Actually, I'm more curious about this club now. Don't you want to know?"
"Yes, I was waiting at the door just now. I was also very curious."
He Maosong looked at Cai Fujun and said, "Before the banquet starts, tell us what's going on with that illegal building?"
"I heard this from a friend, so it's just a retelling."
Seeing that both He Maosong and Luo Yang were interested, Cai Fujun continued the topic downstairs: "This was originally a prefabricated board factory, built probably in the 1980s. As we all know, prefabricated boards are building materials of a specific era, and they fell into decline and became obsolete after that period."
In the 1980s and 1990s, small self-built houses in rural areas of the south sprang up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
At that time, cast-in-place concrete was not as popular as it is now. All the floor slabs were prefabricated, so for a period of time, prefabricated cement slabs in towns and villages were in short supply.
"After the factory fell into decline, it remained abandoned here until five years ago when a local boss took a fancy to it."
Cai Fujun passed around a circle of cigarettes, lit one, and then continued slowly, "Speaking of which, this boss has a history with this factory. In the early days, he worked here. Later, when the factory fell into ruin, he went out to work on his own and started a construction team. In more than ten years, he made a fortune and became a big boss."
If it were during work, 80% of the above words would be nonsense, but here, after all, everyone is here for dinner tonight, and we all know the causes and consequences, the twists and turns, and they all have to be explained clearly and plainly.
After the prelude, let’s get to the meat of the matter.
"This prefabricated panel factory was originally a township collective enterprise, and the land was industrial in nature. But people of that era knew that collective enterprises had dormitory buildings, which were equivalent to residential buildings. When the two were mixed together, it was actually better to use them to build a factory."
Cai Fujun smiled and said: "Although this boss is in the construction industry, he has little education. He probably thinks building houses is the same as real estate development, and he doesn't know how complicated the process is."
"The factory dormitories were originally owned by small property owners, right?"
Luo Yang interjected, "It seems that a batch of them were cleared around 05. Those who didn't have property rights were given property rights, but they were not approved for more after that."
"I don't know that."
Cai Fujun responded to Luo Yang.
“Is that boss stupid?”
Luo Yang asked curiously, "If you fancy this piece of land, you can communicate with the municipal land department, take it back, change the land use from industrial to residential, and re-set the relevant indicators before listing it. How did it appear?"
"This is about the dog-headed military advisor beside the boss."
Cai Fujun continued his story: "At that time, the military advisor gave the boss an idea to acquire the land in the name of investing in a tourist resort. From this perspective, it can bring certain economic benefits and employment to the local area."
"Damn. Is this military advisor really that cunning?"
Luo Yang is very professional in this area and understood it immediately. When Cai Fujun talked about this, he probably understood the operating logic.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from Brother Luo. He would definitely guess the result halfway through the conversation."
Cai Fujun was not surprised. He had heard of Luo Yang's reputation in Jincheng Real Estate. More than one real estate boss took a new look at Luo Yang and some were even willing to pay him an annual salary of one million when he worked part-time.
You have to know that was an annual salary of 09 million in 100!
"What I know is the underlying logic of the operation, which is just a few dry sentences."
Luo Yang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Brother Cai, please tell us. It's more interesting for everyone to listen to the story!"
After hearing this, everyone laughed.
"Then I'll continue."
Cai Fujun was not polite and continued, "It can be said that this boss has considerable influence in the local area. After some operations, he actually managed to get the land payment back. It means that he didn't spend a penny and got the land."
"If the land doesn't cost a penny, then this boss will make a fortune."
Liu Haishan couldn't help but interject when he heard this: "How did it end up like this?"
"The point is not that the land is free. In fact, the military advisor's original plan was to spend money on subsequent changes."
When Cai Fujun explained this, he glanced at Luo Yang and saw that he was not interested in talking, so he explained: "First, take over this piece of land under another name, do the work during the subsequent construction period, make up a sum of money, and change the nature of the land use from commercial to residential."
"Can it still be done like this?"
Liu Haishan was stunned, looked at Luo Yang and asked, "Brother, will this work?"
“It was possible to do this in the early years.”
Luo Yang smacked his lips and said, "Changes in property rights, commercial and residential properties, and residential land use quotas. At that time, management was not as strict as it is now, especially in terms of operation. It was not even computer operation, but paper documents. Not to mention the relevant rules and regulations. There were no perfect real estate industry regulations in China. I learned everything on the job."
Not to mention a few years earlier, even five or six years later, there would still be people who could do it.
Luo Yang remembered that Mr. Sun in the real estate industry had made some bold moves. The indicators of a residential land in the capital were forcibly changed under his operation.
"It looks like that boss did the splits."
At this point in the story, even those who are not real estate professionals can understand it.
So He Maosong also joined the discussion at this time: "Later, the nature of the land could not be changed. Even if the villa was built here, it could not be divided and sold!"
As an integrated commercial, residential and tourism project, a large property right can be transferred as a whole.
However, the small property rights of a house can be divided. On the basis of the original large property certificate of the real estate developer, the small property rights can be divided so that every home buyer has his own property certificate.
The boss’ problem now is that the nature of the land cannot be changed, the title deed cannot be divided, and the home buyer cannot get his own real estate certificate!
No fool would be willing to spend millions to buy a villa without a property certificate, right?
A typical case of stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
"Until the roof of the house was completed, the military advisor's plan was not successfully implemented. In addition, the crisis spread from the 08 subprime mortgage crisis, and the boss encountered problems with his capital chain, so the entire project was abandoned."
Cai Fujun stretched out his hand and drew a large circle: "According to the original project plan, along this corner of Dingshan Lake, there were going to be lakeside embankments and landscape belts, and also a water park and so on. In fact, it was just a gimmick. The nature of the project cannot be changed. Even if the boss had money, he would not invest in it."
"The project is unfinished, and it's not a residential area that is unfinished, but a cultural and tourism project."
Luo Yang then spoke up: "The key is that this boss didn't spend any money to get the land, so how could the government let him go? So this club owner got a bargain?"
"Brother Luo is still very insightful."
Cai Fujun gave a thumbs up and praised: "A boss took a fancy to this place and bought it for a small amount of money, and turned it into the current club."
"Speaking of the club, Lao Cai, what kind of club is this?"
Back to the old topic, Liu Haishan couldn't help but ask again.
Before Cai Fujun could reply, footsteps were heard at the stairs. Soon, the housekeeper led four girls through the living room and into the tea room.
"Boss Cai, I've brought them here according to your standards." Wearing high heels, the housekeeper walked to Cai Fujun's side, put her hands on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "How are you? Just look at the looks of these four girls. They will definitely make you proud!"
"Don't say I don't have any plans tonight. This is already the best."
Cai Fujun raised his eyebrows at Luo Yang, He Maosong and Liu Haishan and said, "They were all selected according to the brothers' preferences."
Looking over there, I saw that two of them were wearing long and short skirts respectively and had put on makeup, while the other two were actually wearing work clothes with the logos of certain electronics and certain plastics embroidered on their chests. Did they just get off work?
Of course, whether they are wearing makeup or work clothes, their appearance and figure are all first-class.
Even in Luo Yang's eyes, they all scored more than 85 points, and two of the outstanding ones scored more than 90 points.
Seeing this scene, Luo Yang instantly thought of Nanxun in Zhejiang Province and Dongguan in Guangdong Province.
It seems to be a way.
Around the early 2000s, the Pearl River Delta region became a center of foreign investment, with a reported million young migrant workers.
Most of these migrant workers are concentrated in Shenzhen, Dongguan, Zhuhai, Zhongshan and other places.
Later, as the opening-up policy was further deepened, the Yangtze River Delta also grew into one of the concentrated areas of foreign investment.
Of course, in addition to foreign-funded enterprises, there are also many domestic small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in the "three-in-one" business, so this area has gradually developed into a world-class light industrial production base.
Gusu is connected to the Magic City of Songjiang and Qingpu, and next door is Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province. It would be an exaggeration to say that there are tens of thousands of factories of all sizes in this area.
As we all know, from a management perspective, it is more difficult to manage men than women, which results in companies preferring women when recruiting, especially early clothing, electronics, toys, gifts and other manufacturing companies, where the ratio can almost reach 8:1 or 9:1.
Qingqing Garment Factory was originally located in Qiandeng, Gusu, and Luo Yang had seen the scene at the end of working hours.
During a certain period of time, thousands of young female workers will pour out of the factory gates of industrial zones, and such industrial zones are everywhere in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai areas.
It didn't disappear, it just moved.
The bigger shift will have to wait until the rise of self-media, when the beauties in clubs and KTVs gradually disappear, and one by one go to certain audio platforms to sing and dance.
Eh?
An idea suddenly popped up in Luo Yang's scattered thoughts: I think I could be a shareholder of ByteDance.
Before he could come to his senses, the other three had already chosen their people.
As expected, we are old partners.
What was left for Luo Yang was the girl with a certain electronic logo embroidered on her chest, a pure and lustful face, long legs, and cold white skin.
They have known each other for more than three years, and although they don't have many opportunities to go to clubs together, Cai Fujun still has a firm grasp of Luo Yang's preferences.
Since everyone was here, there was no need to drink tea and everyone went to the restaurant to start their meal.
After three rounds of drinks, singing and dancing began on the small stage. With the butler's attentiveness, the atmosphere was quite lively as the glasses and drinks flowed, with a bit of the flavor of listening to music in a brothel.
"Old Liu, how's your luck in Macau this time?"
After drinking half a catty of liquor, the frequency of drinking suddenly dropped. Everyone knew that drinking too much is not good, especially tonight.
So we picked up chatting again.
"Stop talking, it's a mess. If I had known I would have come to Lao Cai before leaving and asked him to take me to the red room, maybe I wouldn't have been so unlucky!"
When Luo Yang asked this, Liu Haishan's face immediately drooped: "We lost more than 2,300 this time."
The more than 2,300 mentioned by Liu Haishan means more than 23 million!
"No way, you didn't stop?"
Cai Fujun was surprised and said: "Old Liu, you are always so stable, why are you so nervous this time..."
"I don't know why I got so dizzy."
Liu Haishan had a look of annoyance on his face: "Damn, it was like I was possessed by evil spirits."
"You didn't swat a fly, did you?"
He Maosong frowned and asked, "Was there a strange woman around at that time?"
Although Liu Haishan did not answer, everyone saw the answer from his face.
"That place is evil, if you can avoid it, it's better not to go!"
He Maosong sighed, and then said with a serious expression: "For people like us, it takes no more than half a day to go there. They will immediately investigate clearly how much wealth we have and how much we can borrow from outside. They will do everything from picking us up to accompanying us, swatting flowers, swatting flies, setting up the bureau, lending money on the spot, and collecting debts later. It's a one-stop industry."
When it comes to such novel things, even the talkative housekeeper pays close attention, not to mention the little girl who is accompanying him.
“There are also capital flight cases.”
Luo Yang recalled an incident in his memory and said, "There is a hotel owner in my hometown. He started in the 1990s. After 10 to 20 years, he became a well-established hotel in the local area and built a four-star hotel. Later, I heard that the boss lost nearly 200 million in Macau and the hotel went bankrupt. But within a few years, except for him, his wife and children all immigrated to Australia."
Luo Yang is not exaggerating this matter; it is true.
It is true that the boss took out a loan to build the hotel, it is also true that he went to Macau and lost money, and it is also true that his wife and children immigrated to Australia.
Whether the money lost in the process is a real loss or capital flight can only be judged by different people.
“That’s definitely capital flight.”
He Maosong immediately concluded: "It is not uncommon in Ningbo to leave the boss alone to bear the debt and ask him to continue operating the hotel to pay off the debt."
"Lao He, those people are pretending to lose money, Lao Liu is really losing money!"
Cai Fujun smacked his lips repeatedly and said, "I only spent a few hundred thousand yuan to treat you tonight, but he spent more than 20 million yuan. It's enough for us brothers to come and play every now and then for a year!"
"Five years, at least five years!"
The housekeeper handed over a knife and said, "Boss Cai, this kind of exquisite food is not always available tonight. If you are unlucky, you will not be able to get it even if you have money."
Liu Haishan's face turned red.
"It's gone, it's not a big deal."
Luo Yang advised from the side: "The wind blows the eggshells away, and the wealth is gone, and the people are at peace!"
"Brother Luo is right. This little money is nothing. The real good news is yet to be told!"
He Maosong looked at Liu Haishan happily and said, "In a few months at most, your net worth will increase by more than 10 billion. What is 2000 million?"
Liu Haishan and Cai Fujun both knew what He Maosong was talking about.
"Drink, drink, and stop talking about bad things!"
The man's mood instantly improved, and he raised his wine glass to signal everyone to have a drink together.
"Brother Liu will get a return of 20 million yuan when the money he invested last year matures. Let's use it to treat us."
After drinking a glass of wine, Luo Yang deliberately teased Liu Haishan.
"Brother, when can he get the money?"
This sentence was said to He Maosong, taking advantage of tonight's environment, to find out when Guo Guangchang's acquisition operation would be completed.
"I will definitely receive the principal and interest before June!"
He Maosong was not on guard, and echoed Luo Yang's words, "Old Liu, if we don't use all the money for dinner, we should at least use half of it, Old Cai, don't you think?"
In June, you can get the money with interest. According to this time, the stock market will be over in April or May.
This news will be told to Gray Rhino Capital tomorrow.
"If you want to treat me, then treat me. I, Old Liu, am not a stingy person!"
Liu Haishan turned his head and looked at the housekeeper: "Xiao Wu, I'll give you two or three months to help me keep an eye out. I only want the best, money is not a problem!"
"Mr. Liu is so generous. I'll toast to you!"
When Butler Wu heard that there was no shortage of money, he smiled happily.
