Chapter 259

"Hmm, our Director Zhou's awareness is quite high."

Cheng Zhanjun glanced at Zhou Andong. He really couldn't guess what this kid was thinking, but he was quite appreciative of this decision by Zhou Andong.

Everyone chuckled, and Zuo Peiming asked: "How much money do you plan to pay to buy that land of the electronics factory?"

Zhou Andong said: "That land of the electronics factory is 120,000 square meters, not very big. Converted from commercial land to residential land, how much could it be worth?"

Zuo Peiming said: "The location is good; that's a golden area, right behind the department store. Many years ago, the city studied moving the electronics factory, but the military never agreed, so the matter was shelved. Otherwise, how could this land have been your turn?"

Zhou Andong shrugged: "The city's southward expansion is already a settled fact, right? Large swaths of land south of the bridge can be developed; why must I have that land of the electronics factory?"

Zuo Peiming said: "Aren't you going to be a model of the times? This kind of exploiting policy loopholes is not allowed."

Zhou Andong said very seriously: "Leader, you're wrong to say that. I know what you want to do, and you know what I want to do. This is called information parity; it's business, not exploiting policy loopholes."

Zuo Peiming laughed helplessly. He felt there was a big problem with Zhou Andong's words, but he couldn't refute them: "Alright, stop pulling us around. Just tell us what you plan to do about that land of the electronics factory."

Cao Changshun, the director of the Land Bureau, took out cigarettes and passed them around.

Zhou Andong took a cigarette, took out a lighter, and lit it: "I can take that land, but the price of 80,000 is too high."

Zuo Peiming looked at Cao Changshun: "What do you think?"

Cao Changshun thought for a moment and said: "The real value of that land is commercial. Director Zhou, you want to build residential buildings; it's a bit of a waste."

Zhou Andong said: "In that section, less than 2,000 meters away, there's a commercial building. How much purchasing power do you think our Jiangzhou people have? And the urban complex has a large shopping plaza; what's the point of me setting up a mall behind the department store?"

Zhou Andong flicked the ash: "Therefore, the greatest value of that land is residential, because it's also close to the train station. Whether shopping or traveling, it's very convenient."

Cheng Zhanjun, Deng Zhangli, and Zuo Peiming looked at each other, and the three pondered for a while.

Deng Zhangli asked: "Are you just building ordinary residential buildings?"

Zhou Andong said: "That depends on whether the city has any plans. As long as it's reasonable, I can cooperate."

Deng Zhangli said: "The city doesn't have any plans; you can tell us your thoughts."

Zhou Andong pondered for a moment: "I can build a modern, high-end residential complex, all 17 to 22-story elevator buildings. The plot ratio will not exceed 2%, the overall ratio will not exceed 3%, the green space rate must reach 40%, with underground parking, leisure plazas, children's entertainment areas, a central fountain system..."

Deng Zhangli's eyes lit up: "You make it sound so good, I'm tempted. But how much do you plan to sell it for per square meter? If the common people can't afford it, no matter how well you build the houses, it's useless."

Zhou Andong said: "I can choose not to make money."

Deng Zhangli was stunned, then laughed: "You build office buildings for us without making money, and now you're building a complex without making money. Do you really want to be a model of the times?"

"Right!" Zhou Andong said very seriously: "This great and noble ideal of mine must be realized."

Deng Zhangli was immune to this shameless thing Zhou Andong: "You want to use this complex to establish a brand image for your development company, right?"

Zuo Peiming also nodded: "I think so too. His 'Sky Garden' won't be finished in three years. If you count the entire complex project, it will take at least that long."

"And this complex is much smaller; it can be built in two years, and it can completely establish the corporate image. By then, the houses in the Sky Garden will definitely be easier to sell."

"Superficial!" Zhou Andong smoked his cigarette leisurely, "Leaders, you are superficial. Am I, Zhou Andong, such a calculating person?"

"You are!" Cheng Zhanjun, Deng Zhangli, and Zuo Peiming said almost simultaneously, then laughed out loud.

This scene left the other leaders dumbfounded, both envious and jealous. In such an occasion, joking and chatting so casually with the leaders, he really was in high favor; they couldn't compare, couldn't compare.

"Alright!" Cheng Zhanjun said: "How much money do you plan to pay for this land?"

Zhou Andong looked at Du Chunlai: "Old Du, what do you say?"

Du Chunlai was prepared: "6.4 million."

"Then let's do that!" Deng Zhangli didn't dwell on this matter because he knew the price of 6.4 million was quite reasonable.

Only Zhou Andong knew that this land would double in value next year and could increase tenfold by the year 2000. Because in his previous life, the electronics factory went bankrupt, and this land was auctioned off for 70 million in 1998. Therefore, he would sell part of this real estate project and hold onto part of it. Not making money? How could that be possible? He wasn't a philanthropist.

Deng Zhangli took out a map, spread it on the conference table, pointed to an area, and said: "We want to establish a high-tech zone, with the Jiangzhou River as the boundary, separating Lishui Village, Gaohong Village, and Xiaoyou Village from the Lingdong District and incorporating them into the high-tech zone. We also want to build an expressway directly to Jiangzhou Port, with the Jiangzhou Bridge as the starting point, planned to be completed in two years."

Deng Zhangli pointed to the map again: "Here, the industrial park, with an area of about 18 million square meters. To the south, it's about 20 kilometers from the port; to the north, it's about 17 kilometers from the train station; to the east, it's about 11 kilometers from the national highway."

Zhou Andong stood up and looked. The industrial park from his previous life was right here. But until he was reborn, not many enterprises had moved in; it hadn't developed at all.

It must be said that the location chosen was actually quite awesome. Because the future high-speed railway station would be right here, and the future expressway entrance would be less than 10 kilometers away. But it just couldn't attract enterprises. This had policy reasons, and certainly, there were reasons for the inaction of various departments.

Deng Zhangli looked at Zhou Andong: "How is this location?"

"Good!" Zhou Andong said without hesitation: "Really good."

Cheng Zhanjun said with a smile: "Where is it good?"

Zhou Andong blurted out: "The feng shui is good."

Cheng Zhanjun scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, you can even read feng shui?"

Zhou Andong blinked: "Leader, you have to believe me, really. I don't even need to count on my fingers; I can see at a glance that the feng shui of this place is really good. It's a place where dragons soar; as long as the enterprises that move in are right, they will definitely make a lot of money."...
