Chapter 100 The Hundredth Day of Not Running Away The Hundredth Day of Not Running Away...

After the interview, Wen Chan immediately told Li Yi to come to work the next day.

Li Yi was overjoyed and bowed to Wen Chan, then to Zhang Yurong.

Zhang Yurong was still somewhat hesitant. After he left, she asked, "Are you really going to use him?"

Wen Chan said, "His thoughts coincide with mine. I was originally planning to invest in Walmart. It's perfect to have him handle this."

Zhang Yurong asked in confusion, "Does this really require running errands?"

Wen Chan looked at Zhang Yurong: "If you're going to do it, do it to the best of your ability. I think becoming a Walmart shareholder has a better future. What do you think?"

Zhang Yurong naturally wouldn't refute, "How much money is needed?"

Wen Chan said, "We still have to talk to Walmart about this. Walmart is short of money right now, but they are very cautious about investing. They won't accept just anyone who comes to them for investment."

According to Wen Chan's estimate, it would be considered fast if this matter could be settled within a month.

The Particle Fund was very generous, giving Li Yi and his wife an advance of one month's salary. The $5,000 salary was enough for them to move out of Queens and into a better location.

Meanwhile.

In China, Chen Bozheng and others also started their real estate development projects. They acquired land and mortgaged it to banks for 1 million yuan.

The cement and steel bars had been agreed upon long ago, and as soon as the first payment arrived, we immediately began delivery.

Grandpa He's house has been demolished, and construction is in full swing all around here, with demolition and reconstruction underway.

"The more I look at this place, the more I like it!"

Liang Wenxuan, with a strong voice and wearing a white helmet, said to Chen Bozheng, "Look, our place is much closer to that 130 million yuan plot of land than the one on the left. Our houses will definitely be more sought after than theirs!"

Even though office buildings are still only found in Shenzhen and Guangzhou these days, China has never lacked smart people.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see how promising the development prospects of this office building are. By extension, it is natural to know that the closer one is to the office building, the greater the location advantage.

Chen Bozheng said, "I hope so. This is the first time our two companies have done this, so we must make a name for ourselves and get off to a good start!"

“That’s right!” Liang Wenxuan said happily.

Building a house is a very expensive thing.

Laying the foundation requires a lot of cement and steel bars. Cement costs over 200 yuan per ton, and steel bars cost 2800 yuan per ton.

Chen Bozheng saves money wherever possible. For example, he drew the design of this community himself based on the information and magazines sent by Wen Chan. But there are some things he will never skimp on, and those are cement and steel bars.

The quality of steel bars on the market varies greatly, and the price difference can be more than a thousand yuan.

Good quality steel bars cost 280 yuan per ton, while poor quality ones are even more expensive. There are various differences among steel bars. For example, HRB400 steel bars are mainly used in low-rise buildings, while high-rise buildings need to use HRB400 steel bars in some areas.

The two types of steel bars have different prices. If you're unscrupulous, you won't care about those things and will just use HRB400 for both, which is simple and crude.

But once Chen Bozheng had investigated the matter thoroughly, he used whatever was appropriate. Therefore, although a bank loan of 1 million yuan seemed like a lot, once the construction site opened, the money flowed out like water.

As someone who was also an accountant, Wang Jianquan quickly realized that the money was being spent too fast, so he immediately called everyone to a meeting in a private room at the hotel.

He offered cigarettes to everyone, then pushed the ledger in front of them: "Look at this, in just half a month, we've already spent three or four hundred thousand. This won't do. If this continues, we probably won't be able to acquire this residential complex without a cost of three million."

Three million cost

Everyone did the math in their heads. They spent over 700,000 yuan to acquire that residential complex. Because Chen Bozheng and his group contributed more money and effort, they received 500,000 yuan, while Liang Wenxuan received over 200,000 yuan.

It's not that Liang Wenxuan is short of money; he still has several hundred thousand yuan and a few houses. It wouldn't be difficult for him to come up with another million yuan.

But there's a problem: once this money is spent, it will be difficult to receive future dividends from the community.

"Three million is not a high cost."

Chen Bozheng said, "We mainly build unfinished houses, selling them for 1,610 yuan per square meter. I've calculated that this community will be built into two buildings, each with 15 floors. On average, each floor will have two adults and four children, totaling six apartments, which means there will be a total of 180 apartments."

Chen Bozheng took out his notebook and calculated: "Let's assume this apartment is a small unit, over 60 square meters. We can earn 60,000 yuan per unit. If all the units are sold, we can earn at least that much."

He turned the notebook around to show the others.

The numbers on the notebook were quite exaggerated.

"More than 20 million?!"

Hua Lingfeng immediately stood up, his eyes wide: "Is building houses really that profitable?"

He was worried that the house cost was too high and he would lose money, but now, seeing this number, he instantly felt it was worth it.

Even if he only owns less than a quarter of it, after deducting all costs, this deal can still earn at least a million!

"Otherwise, why would the neighbor next door spend 130 million to build an office building?"

Chen Bozheng said, "We can try to raise money. The construction of this house cannot be slowed down. It's good to build now because the weather is hot. If we start construction in November or December when the ground is frozen, it will be difficult to find workers and the cost will be high."

"Brother Zheng is right."

The monk said, "Our auto repair shop will not start work until after the twelfth lunar month, but the weather is too cold, and sometimes the cement cannot be mixed, so we have to use hot water. Using hot water requires coal to heat the water, which is another expense."

Wang Jianquan was worried: "Where will this money come from?"

Chen Bo was holding a pen when he suddenly had an idea. He stood up, walked to his desk, took out a real estate brochure, and handed it to everyone: "Take a look. This is a brochure from a foreign real estate company. My wife specially asked someone to help translate it into Chinese."

Hua Lingfeng couldn't sit still, so he took the flyer. As his eyes swept over the flyer, he was immediately drawn to the simple and bright house depicted on it.

Liang Wenxuan leaned closer, took a look, and exclaimed in amazement, "The houses built by Americans are so stylish and fashionable. They're obviously high-quality houses. Wow, this house costs 180,000 US dollars! That's terrifying!"

"This is a house in a good location in New York City, so of course it's not cheap."

Chen Bo pointed to the words next to him, "Do you see the words 'model house'? This is a house that is not fully built yet, and it is for people to refer to. Real estate companies in the United States use this trick to attract customers to come and pay money first, and then use the customers' money to build the house."

? ? ?

Three question marks appeared above everyone's heads.

Is that even a possible trick?!

"You want to do what they did?" Wang Jianquan pondered. "That's difficult, isn't it? The Asian Games Village was built before it was sold."

"They have the financial resources to support them in doing this, but we don't."

Chen Bozheng said, "In my opinion, we don't need to worry about whether there is a precedent. Let's give it a try. Anyway, we are really building houses, not trying to scam money and run away. Besides, we will have to advertise and promote sooner or later, so isn't it better to do it in advance?"

Chen Bozheng's words are not without reason.

Everyone fell into deep thought.

Wang Quan said, "Then we need to build a model house. How do we build it?"

"Leave this to me. I've looked at a lot of house renovation plans and I know how to decorate in a way that looks good and saves money," Chen Bo said. "Do any of you know any reporters? Contact them, and we'll start advertising as soon as we finish building the model house!"

The reason I chose the second floor of the show flat is simple: the upper floors weren't finished yet, so the renovation would be much simpler, involving plumbing, electrical work, plastering, flooring, sockets, and cabinets.

Chen Bo was in charge of the whole process. He had developed his aesthetic sense and led the workers to work overtime. They finished decorating a house in less than fifteen days. They then spent two more days installing the washing machine, TV, air conditioner and other appliances, and another two days arranging some soft furnishings.

When Chen Bozheng said the house was renovated, Wang Jianquan and the others were stunned.

If they hadn't known that Chen Bozheng wasn't one to exaggerate, they would never have believed it. On the day they went to see the house, not only did Wang Jianquan and others come, but even Liu Yan, Lin Qingfeng, and others came to join in the fun.

When they entered the room, everyone was stunned.

This house is really well-maintained. It has a large balcony and a large living room. The floor is covered with solid wood planks, and there is a suspended ceiling. The walls are painted beige, the sofa is dark green, and there is a carpet on the floor. The lighting is warm yellow.

"This...this is the house you brought and put together?"

Wang Jianquan and the others were absolutely stunned.

Chen Bozheng said, "Yeah, it looks alright, doesn't it?"

"Not bad?" Hua Lingfeng strode in and plopped down on the sofa. "Damn it, this house is more impressive than mine. If this is not bad, how many houses in all of China are this good? This sofa is really comfortable. It must have been expensive. Tell me honestly, was it imported from abroad?"

Chen Bozheng laughed and said, "I had someone make the sofa for me. It cost over a thousand yuan, so it was worth the money."

Liu Yan and the others entered the kitchen, where there was a gas stove, gleaming cabinets, and kitchen utensils. The floor tiles were dark green with a geometric mosaic pattern, creating a rich and varied color scheme. Outside the kitchen was a small balcony with one or two pots of areca palms, which looked fresh and cheerful.

This is a house of over 100 square meters, with three rooms, but the master bedroom, the second bedroom, and the smaller second bedroom are all empty.

But Chen Bo was cunning; he found copper-colored velvet curtains, hung them up, and the whole house instantly became incredibly stylish.

"No, no, this house is too beautiful. How much does it cost?"

Liu Yan was tempted.

Chen Bozheng said, "We sell it for 1,600 yuan per square meter. This apartment is 208,000 yuan. If you want it, I'll give you a friend's price of 200,000 yuan."

Two hundred thousand is a lot.

It seems to be much more expensive than the one in Shanghai.

But it depends on the location; this house is, after all, located on the East Third Ring Road.

Liu Yan said, "Save me two sets, this is your first order, right?"

Chen Bozheng laughed and said, "Of course it's the first order."

"Then I'll entrust the renovation to you guys as well, Zheng Ge. I'll give you 20,000 yuan for the renovation. Go all out on the renovation. I don't have the time or the inclination to think about it. I'm leaving it to you guys."

Liu Yan said.

Chen Bo thought for a moment and said, "It's fine, but if we need to renovate, it will probably be a long time, at least until next year."

Liu Yan said, "I'm not in a hurry. This house is really great, Brother Zheng. I'm serious, this house of yours will definitely sell like hotcakes. I'm so excited about moving in right now."
