Chapter 482 The exchange of interests between the old fox and the young fox
What you think is the truth may be what others want you to see.
It can be predicted that as Luo Yang's wealth and power grows, there will be more and more "deceptions" around him.
He can't even tell the difference between true and false feelings.
Come to think of it, in a business empire, the pinnacle of power will ultimately be a lonely person.
Because of Jiang Xue's presence, Jiang Wen and I did not play any more games that night and slept soundly until dawn.
There was not much work to do after the beginning of the year. On the second day, Luo Yang spent the morning dealing with backlogs of work, and in the afternoon he made an appointment with Fu Bin to play golf at Yintao Golf Course.
An Ying is not in Shanghai, so Luo Yang brings his personal secretary Chu Jing with him.
His assistant Yu Haiping went to Kunpeng Technology on his behalf to attend the third test flight summary meeting.
Qiao Zhiyuan, his long-time partner, also appeared on the court.
"Boss Luo, I haven't seen you for a whole New Year. You look much more energetic now, don't you?"
Fu Bin, with his usual generous image, took the initiative to extend his hand and greet Luo Yang: "What's up, your ball skills have improved recently, do you want to come to me to practice?"
"It's good enough if you don't back off."
Luo Yang smiled and said, "We are still at the practice field today, so let's chat about something."
"Oh?"
Fu Bin raised his eyebrows: "Is it about your piece of land?"
In December last year, Luo Yang asked Fu Bin for help to make a mandatory regulatory design for the talent introduction site and asked for a rough budget. Now he took the initiative to talk to him, probably for this project.
“It’s not about that piece of land, but it’s related to real estate development.”
While replying to Fu Bin, Luo Yang withdrew his hand and greeted Qiao Zhiyuan, while introducing Chu Jing who was following behind him.
This reply aroused Fu Bin's curiosity, but he was also very patient. He accompanied Luo Yang in swinging on the practice range for more than ten minutes without asking any more questions.
"Mr. Fu, I founded a cultural tourism company last year and planned to enter the cultural tourism industry, one of which involves real estate development."
Fu Bin's level is considered a master in the amateur world. He swung the club on the practice range purely to give face to Luo Yang. When Luo Yang put away his club and returned to the rest area, he naturally followed him back to the rest area.
Not long after sitting down, Luo Yang spoke.
"Are you planning to develop tourism real estate?"
After hearing what Luo Yang said, Fu Bin was immediately surprised.
After all, Santai is a real estate company with an annual output value of nearly 10 billion yuan. It is impossible that it has not heard of the new tourism real estate model that has emerged in recent years.
Now that Luo Yang took the initiative to talk to him about this matter, it must not be that simple.
"Mr. Fu should know that I have never been very interested in traditional urban real estate development."
Luo Yang smiled and said, "But the cultural tourism project that has been brewing since last year has a health care concept. Combined with the new tourism real estate model, I have some personal ideas."
Whether it was his stunning performance at Jincheng Real Estate or his later help in helping Santai create an industrial real estate model, Luo Yang's ability in this industry was undoubtedly top-notch.
Not to mention that China Fortune Land Development has made some achievements in its transformation into an industrial park model in the north, which has further strengthened Fu Bin's determination to make Cathay Pacific bigger and stronger.
So Fu Bin was very interested in what was in Luo Yang's mind.
“Health care + tourism real estate?”
Fu Bin actively asked: "New development model?"
"Barely so."
Luo Yang is neither proud nor overly modest. He maintains a calm tone and says: "Urban real estate relies on the advancement of national urbanization. Similarly, with the further development of the national economy, the number and size of the middle class are expanding. Different from the concepts of urban real estate residence and investment, the demand for health care and tourism vacation is also increasing accordingly. I am also crossing the river by feeling the stones, and I want to try this market."
"The earliest prototype of tourism real estate originated in Hainan, but due to the property bubble in 92, the concept of tourism real estate has not been promoted and improved until it was picked up again in recent years."
As a veteran in the real estate industry, Fu Bin is well-versed in the concept of tourism real estate.
Everyone only remembers the one in 92, because the bubble was so big that it cheated too many people. In fact, in 09, Hainan experienced another big plunge in the real estate market, and housing prices in the holiday resort of Sanya were almost halved.
As of now in 2012, it has not yet recovered.
This idea is so deeply rooted in Fu Bin's mind that he is not very optimistic about tourism real estate.
In fact, it is not just Fu Bin. At this point in time, not many people are optimistic about tourism real estate.
Including the retirement real estate concept that was once hyped up by Lao Song, it turned out to be just a lot of noise but little results.
Just look at the ranking of the top 100 domestic real estate companies in the next ten years and you will know that the vast majority of the companies on the list are engaged in urban real estate, and a few of them also started out in urban commercial real estate.
There are several spots for companies operating industrial real estate, but no real estate company with retirement real estate as its core industry is on the list.
"I'm just trying."
Luo Yang certainly knew Fu Bin's mentality, so he didn't talk big in front of him, nor did he analyze and explain the core logic in front of him.
"I plan to invest in a cultural tourism project in my hometown this year. I have already submitted the plan to the municipal government. In order to solve the problem of demolition, I plan to ask the city for a piece of land around the scenic spot to arrange for the relocated households."
He smiled and talked about his plan: "Mr. Fu also knows how worthless the land in mountainous villages and towns is, so the area of land I get must be large. Based on the principle of not wasting, I plan to start a health care + tourism real estate project to test the waters."
Is it because of the tourism project that caused the demolition and resettlement?
Even if you are testing the waters, you still have to invest money. Are you really not afraid of losing money by developing real estate on the edge of villages and towns in mountainous areas and using the name of health care + tourism real estate?
Fu Bin looked at Luo Yang's expression and was a little confused for a moment.
Seeing Fu Bin's expression, Luo Yang smiled.
"Boss Fu, I don't mean to drag you down with me!"
"What are you talking about, Mr. Luo?"
Fu Bin didn't have time to think about it, so he waved his hand and said, "So why did you come to talk to me about this today?"
"Borrowing people and qualifications."
Luo Yang smiled and said, "My cultural tourism project will probably be launched in the second half of the year. The core is definitely the construction of tourist resorts. As for the health care + tourist resort real estate model, it will probably not be launched until next year. By then, Santai's urban real estate projects will shrink, and we should be able to spare a team for the project company."
“Starting next year?”
Fu Bin blinked his eyes and said, "Mr. Luo, we have talked about the real estate cycle more than once. Starting from next year, Santai will gradually reduce its projects and prepare for the winter. Why do you want to start it now?"
Fu Bin was even more puzzled by the fact that pilot development was being carried out at the low point of the real estate cycle.
"I can take my time. It's not a high-rise building, so the investment in machinery and equipment is relatively small. Besides, my model needs to be promoted in conjunction with tourist attractions, so I'm not in a hurry to pre-sell."
Luo Yang explained with a smile: "Besides, the team we borrowed from you will have to help train new people and relearn the new model, which takes time, so it's better to go slowly. Besides, the trough of urban real estate does not mean the trough of the health care + tourism real estate model."
“Just borrowing qualifications and management team”
When Fu Bin heard that Luo Yang's request was so simple, he hesitated for a moment.
This hesitation is not a question of whether to borrow or not, but a question of whether to take the opportunity to share in it.
As the saying goes, there is no gain without pain.
Qiao Zhiyuan was his old classmate, and he had a very close relationship with him.
Now Qiao Zhiyuan has joined Luo Yang's Lingshi Palace Group as the executive president of Jiang Xiaobai Company, so he also knows some information about the Lingshi Palace Group.
Luo Yang’s several investments in Shanghai can be regarded as models of success.
This means that Luo Yang has great business acumen and he would not simply invest in a project that loses money.
When he thought of this, Fu Bin had more ideas in his mind.
"Hahaha, Mr. Luo, with our relationship, borrowing qualifications and management team is just a matter of a word."
Fu Bin laughed and patted Luo Yang on the shoulder: "I am also quite interested in the new model of health care + tourism real estate you just mentioned. How about Mr. Luo take me to play with it, so as to make up for my shortcomings?"
He now owns two real estate development companies. Santai is a traditional urban real estate company, and the newly established Cathay is an industrial real estate model. If he can get involved in Luoyang, it will enrich his industrial model.
Luo Yang was slightly stunned. "Mr. Fu, I am just testing the waters. I don't have high expectations for this model."
"It doesn't matter. Since we're just testing the waters, it won't cost much. Anyway, I've provided the qualifications and the management team. It would be embarrassing to charge you money. It would be better to just convert it into shares and play with you for a while."
What Fu Bin said is correct.
Whether it is borrowing qualifications or borrowing a management team, Luo Yang cannot help but pay.
He refused to take the money, as he not only owed Luo Yang a favor, but also got shares in the new model company, killing two birds with one stone.
"Okay, since Mr. Fu is also interested, let's play together and test the waters."
Luo Yang did not hesitate and agreed with a smile.
Making money is certain, the key is how much. According to Luo Yang's idea, the price of the land from the government must be extremely low. It can build new-style holiday villas in the mountain village with yards. As long as the size is not too large, it will not be difficult to sell them all.
And it would be useless for Fu Bin to learn it unless he also gets involved in tourism real estate.
That means that while he is developing industrial real estate, he also has to develop hotels and tourist attractions. If he really wants to do this, the funds required are not just a little bit. With Fu Bin's industrial scale and financing capabilities, he simply cannot support it.
It was for this reason that Luo Yang agreed without hesitation.
After talking about business, Fu Bin brought up the matter of the house.
"Didn't I tell you at the end of last year that you should find someone to take over the villa as soon as possible?"
"It's just the beginning of the new year and there are so many things going on back home that I forgot about it!"
Luo Yang smiled sheepishly: "Then I'll take some time to receive it tomorrow afternoon."
In Songjiang, since I still have to pursue postgraduate studies and there are people like Cao Zixi, Xiang Wanwan, etc., it would be a good thing to have my own villa so that I don’t have to book a room at the Xijiao Hotel.
"Okay, I'll have someone accompany you to receive the goods tomorrow."
Fu Bin showed an embarrassed expression on his face: "I can't accompany you. I have to rush to Hefei tomorrow."
"Is the industrial park project in Hefei about to start?"
"The framework agreement was signed last year, and it was agreed that the groundbreaking ceremony would be held the day after tomorrow. I have to go there in person."
Fu Bin pointed his chin at Qiao Zhiyuan who was swinging at the tee area and said, "Old Qiao will accompany me. He plans to visit several surrounding counties to see if there are any suitable wineries to acquire."
Jiang Xiaobai will strive to acquire a production base this year. This was the goal set at last year’s meeting.
With the further expansion of market sales channels, Jiang Xiaobai's sales this year will inevitably usher in a rapid growth trend. It is definitely not appropriate to continue using the model of purchasing and bottling, especially when we are determined to create a long-term brand.
"Then Old Joe will be busy again."
For Jiang Xiaobai, Luo Yang adopts a laissez-faire approach. Although he holds 40% of the shares, he does not participate in the specific operation and management.
So his response was rather bland.
"I heard from Lao Qiao that your sales target this year is 5 million?"
As Fu Bin spoke, he exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "It's really amazing."
"If someone else praised me like this, I would definitely smile from ear to ear, but Mr. Fu, you said this."
Luo Yang said modestly: "The sales of Santai's real estate project is equivalent to Jiang Xiaobai's sales in two or three years, right?"
"Hahaha"
Feeling relieved after hearing this, Fu Bin pointed at Luo Yang and burst into laughter.
"By the way, your dad will be there tomorrow, too."
After laughing, Fu Bin mentioned Luo Jianguo: "In the future, he will have to travel between the two places to shoot films."
Luo Jianguo is a shareholder and also the vice president of production. In principle, all Cathay Pacific projects, as long as they involve engineering projects, are under his management.
It is not surprising that he attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the Hefei Industrial Park.
"It's fine to have one or two projects now, but in the future, there will be more industrial park projects all over the country, and my dad won't be able to take care of them all."
Speaking of his father, Luo Yang couldn't help but respond: "I think we should train more qualified project managers, let him stay in the Shanghai headquarters in the future, and often go to the industrial park projects to inspect them."
Luo Yang made this suggestion not because he was avoiding suspicion but wanted Luo Jianguo to give up his power.
In the future, industrial parks will surely be spread all over the country, and they will even learn from urban real estate and carry out regional management. As the vice president of production of the group, it is not a good idea to stay on a specific project.
"Your father is a workaholic. There is no one more dedicated than him in Cathay Pacific."
Fu Bin mentioned Luo Jianguo at this time, and it was not casual: "I also want to transfer him back to the headquarters to take charge. Mr. Luo, I remember you mentioned a large operation model in Jincheng. Now Santai has learned a little bit, and I feel it is quite useful. I just don't know what the complete model is like?"
First it was the villa, and then Luo Jianguo was brought up.
In the final analysis, I just covet the complete large-scale operating model in Luo Yang's hands.
In fact, most of this model had been given to Liang Yuxin at the beginning, but she was only in charge of the functional departments at the time, and the most important engineering and marketing were not under her management, so this model was not promoted within Jincheng Real Estate.
Later, Liang Yuxin had an argument with Liang Xingmin, and Liang Yuxin went abroad in anger.
So Santai only learned a small part from Jincheng, and it was not complete.
"I also figured it out while working part-time in Jincheng, and the system wasn't complete at the time."
Luo Yang did not plan to take it out all at once, because even if some large real estate companies outside were doing it now, they were only preliminary versions. What he had in his hand was the more complete ultimate version.
“That’s a pity.”
Fu Bin showed a regretful expression and sighed, "At that time, no one expected that you would leave Jincheng so suddenly. Lao Liang and Lao Jiang, ah, let's not talk about them!"
"I'll compile what I found out and send it to your email."
Luo Yang seemed to recall something, and after a moment of silence, he continued, "At that time, I was rotating from marketing to general consultant. The project site of your three companies involved engineering, and I didn't have much contact time. In addition, Lao Jiang deliberately didn't let me participate too much, so the engineering part of the whole plan was not completed."
“Is the only thing missing engineering positions?”
Fu Bin didn't know that Luo Yang had concealed the truth, and a look of gratitude appeared on his face. He said, "That's great. With this template, we can figure out the rest by ourselves. Mr. Luo, thank you very much for your help!"
"I also want to add something about the financial department."
Luo Yang smiled bitterly and said, "At that time, General Liang was in charge of this area, and he was doing a good job, but later..."
"You are talking about Yuxin girl, right?"
Talking about this, Fu Bin also started to have gossip-mongering thoughts.
He lowered his voice and asked, "I heard that this girl and Lao Liang quarreled because of you, right?"
Gee.
The more it is spread, the more mysterious it becomes.
“The main reason is probably the management philosophy.”
How could Luo Yang reveal his gossip to Fu Bin?
He smiled and glanced at Fu Bin and said, "From the time I resigned to the time they quarreled, there was the industrial real estate model and the Shuangfeng Town pilot project in between. President Fu, you should know that you got this plan from President Xiao Liang."
What this means is that the quarrel between father and daughter was most likely caused by this fuse.
"Hahahaha that's what I said!"
Fu Bin did get the industrial real estate model and the pilot project plan for Shuangfeng Town Industrial Park from Jincheng. Combined with the two things Luo Yang said just now, he immediately lost the desire to find out gossip about Lao Liang's daughter.
Especially since he was the one who got the bargain.
"What are the two big bosses talking about so happily?"
Qiao Zhiyuan and Chu Jing walked over from the serving area, saw Fu Bin laughing, and joined the conversation.
The match didn't go well.
But Luo Yang and Fu Bin both got what they wanted.
