Chapter 480 Perspective Determines Fate! Strength Determines Treatment!
"consider?"
Qiao Wenli gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"Now that things have come to this, what else is there for me to consider?"
"I don't think there's any need to consider it now."
"Since President Zhao proposed to curb the overly rapid and overheated development of the real estate market..."
"As Mr. Zhao's loyal partner, I should resolutely support him!"
"So... sell! We have to sell! I'm willing to sell all the land that hasn't even started construction yet!!"
After talking with Ding Lehui, Qiao Wenli finally understood.
The debate over adjusting real estate policies is, in essence, a power struggle.
Because any industry, once it becomes a pillar of the national economy, will receive substantial policy support and resource allocation.
In coastal provinces and cities with developed manufacturing industries, such as Handong, Linjiang, Dongguang, and Tianhai, the proportion of real estate is not high.
Stimulated by both investment and foreign trade, these coastal provinces and cities are naturally more inclined to seize favorable opportunities to further expand and strengthen their manufacturing industries.
To develop the manufacturing industry, land, labor, materials, and commodity prices must be relatively cheap; otherwise, without sufficient profits, the manufacturing industry cannot continue to develop.
However, if the real estate market were to flourish, it would inevitably drive up land and housing prices, which in turn would lead to a continuous rise in labor, material, and commodity prices; otherwise, the real estate market would not be able to develop.
The most obvious manifestation of this is...
If you can easily make money by buying a house and just sitting back and watching the house prices rise, who would bother to spend huge sums of money, take risks, and painstakingly invest in opening a factory, buying equipment, hiring workers, and engaging in manufacturing?
This is how the conflict arose.
Provinces and cities that excel in manufacturing can solve employment and tax revenue problems through manufacturing, so they naturally cannot vigorously develop real estate.
Conversely, provinces and cities whose manufacturing industries are struggling to keep up with the demands, yet are eager to develop, naturally want to focus on real estate.
Zhao Ruilong is the son of Zhao Lichun, the top official in Handong.
He also had a strong desire to help China become a leading industrial manufacturing nation.
Therefore, he must speak out for the coastal provinces and cities represented by Handong, and fight for countless manufacturing companies, including Huilong Group.
Since it has evolved into a struggle.
Qiao Wenli, who invested in Land Rover Motors so early, how could he not firmly support Zhao Ruilong?
Moreover, he is known as the "King of Tianhai," and his Tianhai Jinmao Group was developed in Tianhai, with many of its projects currently under construction there.
Xiang Yuliang, the former head of Tianhai who has not yet stepped down, has clearly expressed his support for regulating the real estate market. How could a small real estate developer like myself possibly go against the grain?
of course.
The core factor that convinced Qiao Wenli to make up his mind was his belief that Zhao Ruilong could win.
Not to mention that China's low- and mid-end manufacturing industries are already experiencing explosive growth due to the significant benefits of joining the WTO.
Under Zhao Ruilong's strong leadership, high-end manufacturing industries, represented by electronic information, new energy vehicles, high-speed rail, clean energy, and large aircraft, are also developing vigorously.
The ever-expanding scale and soaring output of the manufacturing industry have not only created a large number of jobs and contributed a lot of tax revenue, but have also directly affected the vital interests of many large organizations and enterprises.
For example, the large-scale construction of high-speed railways has made many railway-related enterprises and institutions very happy, and the vigorous development of clean energy and the construction of ultra-high voltage transmission lines have given many power-related units something to do.
Even if these large organizations and enterprises are only considering their own interests, they cannot support the vigorous development of real estate. The costs of land, materials, labor, equipment and other things have increased significantly, which would harm their own interests.
Most importantly, since the top leadership was able to strongly support Handong in developing a high-quality economy and spare no effort in implementing the strategy of revitalizing the country through science and education, how can they be so short-sighted as to focus on developing real estate as a pillar industry of the national economy?
Even in provinces and cities where the manufacturing industry is not very developed, but which have a strong urge to vigorously develop real estate, it is inevitable that they will have difficulty reaching a consensus.
Once the top leadership promises to support them in building some large-scale infrastructure projects, and once Zhao Ruilong promises to invest in some high-end manufacturing projects, they will inevitably become divided internally.
Like Nanzhao Province, Nanyun Province, Jinsha City, etc., if we support them in building large-scale highways, high-speed railways, water conservancy projects, etc., and invest in some key projects.
They would absolutely not continue to support the vigorous development of the real estate market; on the contrary, they would make a complete 180-degree turn and resolutely support the development of the manufacturing industry and pursue a high-quality development path.
The reason they're making a fuss now is simply because "the squeaky wheel gets the grease."
How can you expect to get any benefits without finding a gimmick to cry poverty and make a scene?
There are actually very few people who are truly determined to vigorously develop the real estate market.
"Just sell!!"
Ding Lehui smiled and poured tea for Qiao Wenli.
"Actually, you don't need to feel heartbroken at all."
"Selling off a lot of land now would actually be most advantageous for you, do you know why?"
Qiao Wenli laughed and said, "Of course, it's because President Zhao can definitely persuade the higher-ups not to regard real estate as a pillar industry of the national economy, but instead to cancel the shared area and pre-sale, and promote the sales system of completed houses."
"Once the policy is officially announced, the real estate industry will not immediately be in dire straits, but the number of developers who dare to buy land will definitely decrease significantly, and insufficient demand will inevitably lead to a drop in land prices."
"I'm taking advantage of the fact that the policy hasn't been released yet and that the real estate market is still quite hot, so I'm selling the land I've hoarded. This will allow me to recoup a large amount of capital and ensure that all the projects under construction are completed smoothly."
"Because commercial housing needs to be completed before it can be sold, the huge financial pressure will force many small and medium-sized developers out of the market. Completed commercial housing will be in short supply and prices will rise, which will allow me to earn more."
Ding Lehui picked up his teacup and gently clinked it against Qiao Wenli's.
"So now you know that Mr. Zhao's proposal to regulate the real estate market is actually a good thing for you, right?"
"Yes, it's a good thing!"
After taking a sip of tea, Qiao Wenli said with a smile:
"When I first heard the news, I was extremely fearful and had a feeling that a great disaster was about to befall me."
"After you pointed it out, I actually feel that after the industry reshuffle, it will be easier for me to grow bigger and stronger in the future!"
Ding Lehui smiled slightly and sipped his tea at a leisurely pace.
In his view, Qiao Wenli, a graduate of a prestigious university and a veteran of politics, still had a narrow perspective.
The reason why he became the "King of Tianhai and Didi" with a net worth of tens of billions is not because he has a good eye or strong ability.
The main reason is that his ancestors and fathers left him a good foundation, and he was bold enough to take advantage of financial leverage, thus reaping the benefits of the era of rapid economic development.
This is why Qiao Wenli is a typical 'old money' type.
In the more than 20 years since China opened up to the outside world, people like them have mainly relied on their wealth, boldness, courage to fight and take risks, and the courage to think and act to stand at the forefront of the tide of the times and make hundreds of millions of dollars.
Some people even become rich inexplicably. They think about it over and over but can't find the reason for their wealth. So they develop a path dependency and superstitious ideas, believing that it is the protection of their ancestors and gods.
and so……
When they hear that policies are about to change, they become anxious and uneasy, worried about losing everything they have. They are completely unable to calm down and carefully analyze the situation, realizing that policy changes are not entirely without benefits.
Even if one's personal abilities are limited, and one cannot think calmly or consider all aspects, isn't it enough to firmly support Zhao Ruilong? After all, we're already in the same boat, so why worry so much?
In contrast.
Ding Lehui felt that the Gao Qiqiang brothers from Linjiang Jinghai City were much better than Qiao Wenli.
Ever since they got on Zhao Ruilong's good side, the two brothers have been steadfastly following him.
They didn't understand technology. Although Gao Qisheng graduated from Linjiang University of Science and Technology, he studied finance, while his older brother Gao Qiqiang only graduated from primary school and used to be a fishmonger.
Despite their lack of technical expertise, they chose to unconditionally trust Zhao Ruilong, doing whatever he asked them to do, and in return, they reaped substantial rewards.
Whether selling electronic products, running a chain of internet cafes, or following Zhao Ruilong to develop the wind power industry in Jinghai, he has now become a leader in the wind power construction and installation industry.
Their following and support, seemingly mindless and foolish, have yielded rich rewards.
In just two or three years, the brothers' Jinghai Qiangsheng Group became the number one private enterprise in Linjiang Province.
Born in Jinghai Old Factory Street, the two brothers, whose parents had passed away long ago, have created a miracle of grassroots success.
Moreover, if we really want to consider factors like company size, asset status, revenue and profit, and business prospects...
In fact, Qiao Wenli's Tianhai Jinmao Group is not as good as the Gao brothers' Jinghai Qiangsheng Group.
The so-called "King of the Sea and Land" is nothing but a hollow name; with the stock price plummeting, he is nothing at all.
In contrast, real estate is just one of the many businesses of Jinghai Qiangsheng Group.
Their engineering and construction capabilities are already quite impressive.
Whether it's thermal power plants, highways, or wind farms, they have the qualifications and capabilities to undertake the construction.
Based on their own business needs and under Zhao Ruilong's guidance, they also extended their investments to fields such as construction machinery and clean energy, achieving diversified operations.
Where is Qiao Wenli?
They've been clinging to Zhao Ruilong's coattails for quite some time now.
They invested in Land Rover Motors and saw the company launch one model after another and sell well, but they didn't know to invest in related companies in the industry chain. Instead, they focused their main attention on real estate speculation and sales.
What can Ding Lehui say about clinging to the powerful and wealthy Zhao Ruilong, yet still feeling anxious and uneasy?
Therefore, Qiao Wenli said that after the industry reshuffle, he has the opportunity to grow bigger and stronger...
Ding Lehui couldn't bear to say that he was delusional; he would be lucky to be a good "King of the Sea and Land" in this lifetime.
Having worked within the system for many years, Ding Lehui certainly couldn't speak too bluntly and hurt Qiao Wenli's pride.
Instead, out of consideration for their cooperative relationship, he chatted with Qiao Wenli very politely and amicably until Qin Shuang knocked on the door and came in.
"Have you finished talking?"
"almost."
"Well, let's go!"
Ding Lehui smiled and stood up, extending his hand to Qiao Wenli.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao, I have to go to COMAC in China right away. Let's talk again when we have time!"
What happened to COMAC (Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China)?
Qiao Wenli asked with some surprise and curiosity.
"It's nothing. I'm a new official, so I should at least show my face and get some recognition, right?"
Ding Lehui shook hands with Qiao Wenli and then left.
"Wait a moment!"
Qiao Wenli quickly caught up.
"If it's convenient, let's have lunch or dinner together at the Peace Hotel!"
Although Qiao Wenli's investment acumen is not great, he is still good at interpersonal relationships.
Ding Lehui is the newly appointed chairman of Huilong Group, and today he is once again clarifying his doubts.
It is only right and proper for me to treat everyone to a meal as a gesture of hospitality.
however……
Ding Lehui shook his head slightly.
"I appreciate your kind offer, but it's really unfortunate that I have to go to the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) this afternoon before flying to Linjiang. Let's get together another day; we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future!"
