Chapter 540: The Father-in-law and the Son-in-law Envy Each Other

Chapter 540 The Father-in-law and the Son-in-law Envy Each Other

"Dad, how did you respond to Senior Official He?"

The atmosphere between the father-in-law and the son-in-law has been very good so far, and they talk more casually.

"What can I say? Of course I told him to think about it carefully."

Jiang Yuanshan smiled and said, "We have discussed this before. We plan to place the R&D and headquarters in Modu, and the production and assembly center in Yang City. Even so, we must ask the city for the highest policy support."

The maximum support he mentioned is not only in terms of policies, but also includes land, taxation, interest-free and low-interest loan support, the creation of supporting industries, subsidy efforts and a series of other benefits.

"If it weren't for my hometown's favor, I would actually like to move the production and assembly center to Shanghai as well."

The more Lao Jiang thought about it, the more detailed his ideas about entering the new energy vehicle industry became.

"Yes, purely in terms of the value of industrial land, the gap between Yang City and Magic City is not a small one. This alone will have a huge impact on the total asset evaluation of enterprises in the future."

Luo Yang knew what Jiang Yuanshan meant. Even if the government of Yang City provided the same 500 acres of industrial land to them for free without charging a penny, the value of these lands in the future would be at most a few hundred million.

But in Shanghai, even if the land is bought at half the price, the value of this land in the future will be as high as tens of billions.

The gap between the two is obvious.

Not to mention the supporting facilities. Thanks to Tesla, Shanghai will have formed a complete supporting industrial chain in a few years, while Yang City still has to start from scratch to attract investment. It is hard to say what level it will achieve in the end.

"How about changing places?"

Jiang Yuanshan looked at Luo Yang with a smile.

"Dad, we can only think about it. If we really want to change the place, both our families will have to move to the Magic City."

Luo Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Otherwise, I can't refuse the favor from the city. I'm better off, but your foundation and industry are all in your hometown."

"Hahaha"

Jiang Yuanshan burst into laughter after hearing what Luo Yang said.

"In fact, I have been thinking about this for the past few years, especially after we started the operation of launching Yuanfan electric vehicles."

Lao Jiang put out the cigarette in his hand, poured another cup of tea and continued: "In the future, Yuanfan Group may have two or three listed companies, especially in the battery industry, which will be differentiated into drone power batteries, new energy vehicle power batteries, and electric vehicle power batteries."

“Much more than that.”

Luo Yang added: "Electrification of energy is an inevitable trend in the future. Almost all power fields can become markets."

"Haha, I'm about to swell up when you say that."

Jiang Yuanshan shook his head slightly and did not continue talking in this direction, but returned to his previous topic.

"It will also become inevitable to relocate some R&D institutions and even headquarters."

Jiang Yuanshan said affirmatively: "Because just like you said, Yang City is too small to retain cutting-edge talents, but high-tech industries need a large number of high-end talents. The contradiction between the two is almost irreconcilable. I can only compromise for the better development of the company."

According to him, in the future Yuanfan Group will inevitably split off some industries, and these industries will be moved to Shanghai.

"This is normal. When a company grows to a certain size, fission will become inevitable, especially for production-oriented companies."

Just like the Huawei in Luo Yang's memory, many industrial parks will be built across the country in the future, and even because of layout needs, many R&D institutions will be set up overseas.

The integration of the Yangtze River Delta has been promoted for a long time and is progressing slowly, but no substantial progress has been seen until Luoyang encountered the mud truck. In the future, the siphon effect of super cities will be further expanded, and there will be a gap in the talent pool of small and medium-sized cities.

As Luo Yang recalls, once when he went to Zhejiang Province to inspect a project, a local senior official made a blunt statement.

"Land, taxation, financial support. We will give you whatever preferential treatment you want. We can even provide housing for high-end talents introduced to the company!"

At that time, the real estate industry had begun to decline. Luo Yang attended the inspection meeting as the construction agent of a real estate company. The protagonist was actually a large domestic manufacturing enterprise. The vice president of the enterprise asked the leader on the spot why such a big discount was given?

The senior official made some very insightful remarks at that time.

Luo Yang once doubted it, but when he saw the birth population by chance, he fell into deep thought.

People born in the 1800s, 1300s, and even 800s had tens of millions of births every year. In some years, the number was over million, and in some years, the number was around million. But in the years before his rebirth, there were only more than million!

The era of demographic dividend is really over.

"Dad, actually, putting our production base in Yang City is a good thing for our hometown!"

After some memory fragments flashed through his mind, Luo Yang took the initiative to speak: "Even if we ask the city for more land, we can give houses to senior engineers and technicians, and let them move their families to Yang City to live, and even become naturalized citizens. It is no exaggeration to say that if we do this, it is possible to bring thousands or even tens of thousands of people to the city."

"Ok?"

Jiang Yuanshan failed to understand the logic behind his son-in-law's words for a moment and looked at him in confusion.

"Due to investment reasons, our company has done several market research reports, and one thing was mentioned in all of them: Yang City's population has been fluctuating around one million for many years, with no major changes. However, the number of migrant workers has increased from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands in recent years."

Luo Yang saw his father-in-law's doubts and explained, "But there is no invisible loss in these data. Take my class for example. There are about 211 college students in our city who have passed the undergraduate entrance examination. Most of those who returned to Yang City after graduation were girls. There were more ordinary undergraduates and third-tier college students. Most of the key undergraduates and 985 and universities, except for those who came back to take the civil service examination, stayed in Jinling, Xi City, Gusu, Shanghai, and Hangzhou."

Jiang Yuanshan seemed to be thinking about something.

"That is to say, every year, the most outstanding young people in our city go to other cities to settle down."

Luo Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Some students who graduated from 985 universities can't find jobs with a monthly salary of tens of thousands even if they want to go home. How can they come back?"

"you mean"

Jiang Yuanshan tried to understand: "Through the investment of high-tech industries in the hometown, we can attract a group of high-tech talents to settle in Yang City, or even attract a group of local young talents who want to return to their hometown but cannot find high-paying jobs?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

Luo Yang handed another cigarette to Jiang Yuanshan, lit it and continued: "Dad, let alone the central and western regions, even in our Yang City, many towns have become hollowed out due to the urbanization process in recent years, and there are few young people in many villages."

"You know what, this phenomenon really exists."

Jiang Yuanshan said with deep emotion: "I remember when I was young, there were cinemas in every village. During festivals, the entrances were crowded with young people and it was very lively. Now when I go back to my hometown in the countryside, there are no cinemas anymore and young people are even rarer."

"They all live in the city, or in a larger town."

Luo Yang smiled and said, "Even if you work in a large enterprise in a town, you still drive back to the city after get off work. My mother-in-law's economy has determined that young people have to buy commercial housing in towns. Dad, just wait and see. In the next few years, the development of commercial housing in our urban area will be scary, including housing prices, which will rise dramatically!"

"Mother-in-law's economy?"

Hearing this term, Jiang Yuanshan laughed. "Your mother didn't make any requests."

Lao Jiang smiled and said, "I remember once when we were having dinner at home, your mother mentioned it and suggested that you live with us after you get married."

Forehead.

This should be before sophomore year, right?

At that time, Luo Yang's family's financial situation was average, at least in Lao Jiang's eyes, so it was normal to have such thoughts.

After joking, Jiang Yuanshan asked curiously, "Are you planning to develop real estate in your hometown?"

"Yes, I have this plan."

Luo Yang did not hide the truth from his father-in-law: "After this wave of real estate market, there will inevitably be a trough period. I will take advantage of the low land prices to buy a few plots of land. After the normal construction period, the last wave of real estate carnival will come. This money can be earned by external companies or by myself. Why not take part in the pie?"

Jiang Yuanshan smacked his lips, and after a long while he said, "Is the profit margin huge?"

"The average house price in our city is less than 3000 yuan per square meter now. I predict that it will exceed 20000 yuan per square meter in five or six years. Do you think there will be a big profit?"

Luo Yang winked at Lao Jiang and said, "Dad, do you want me to help you make some money?"

Wow, at this rate of increase, the price will increase by two or three thousand per square meter per year?

Jiang Yuanshan felt deeply suspicious.

However, his son-in-law had a calm expression, which made him feel that there was a glimmer of possibility. After all, he was very capable in this area. He had worked part-time during his sophomore year and got an annual salary of one million yuan from a real estate company in Shanghai. This meant he was half an authority in this area.

"You don't have any money, so you drag me along?"

Old Jiang was not so easily fooled. He looked at Luo Yang with a smile and said, "According to what you said, the trough period will come in two or three years. By then, we will just enter the new energy vehicle industry, and most of your idle funds will have to go into it. How can you have a lot of money for real estate development?"

"Dad, you're underestimating me, aren't you?"

Luo Yang was not panicked at all.

He also smiled and said: "Who would use their own money to develop a property? They would use leverage. The start-up capital is only a few hundred million. They would mortgage the land to the bank and take out most of the money to continue using real money. There are real estate companies that have invested tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars, but they are all large companies with hundreds of billions of dollars."

"Aren't you afraid of a break in the funding chain?"

"I have such a large business behind me, and I'm your son-in-law. Who in Yang City would suspect that my capital chain is broken?"

Luo Yang laughed even more happily: "Real estate is just my hobby. If I'm short of a few hundred million, as long as I ask, which bank will rush to give me money?"

Jiang Yuanshan laughed happily with his head tilted back, and leaned back on the back of the armchair.

"I said before that it was a pity that you didn't get involved in the Internet, finance, and electronic products. Now that I think about it, real estate is still what you are best at, right?"

“I was born at the wrong time.”

Luo Yang did not give a direct answer, but sighed and said: "If it were ten or twenty years earlier, I would definitely go into real estate and build a trillion-level real estate company, and raise a group of cash cows. I would not have to start a business in the next few years, and I could use the large sums of money to invest in the Internet, mobile Internet, and new energy industries."

"Hahaha"

Jiang Yuanshan burst into laughter again.

He smiled and smoked a cigarette and said, "But have you ever thought about one thing?"

"Ok?"

Luo Yang looked at his father-in-law in confusion.

"I envy your youth now!"

Jiang Yuanshan instantly turned into a literary youth: "Flowers may bloom again, but people can never be young again."

"Hey, Dad, are you reminiscing about and commemorating your youth?"

Jiang Fan walked in without even knocking, just in time to hear his father sigh: "I hope I didn't disturb you two from missing your own white moonlight?"

She sat next to Luo Yang with a document in her hand.

She tilted her head and looked at her dad and her husband.

Eyelashes blinking rapidly.

In order to free his father-in-law, Luo Yang had to speak first: "Aren't you my white moonlight?"

"Oh, I am your white moonlight."

Jiang Fan's eyes were cunning: "Then who is your cinnabar mole?"

Jiang Yuanshan looked at his son-in-law with a mischievous look in his eyes, as if he wanted to know how he would answer.

"When you are 40 years old, with a thick waist, weighing 150 pounds, and talking more than my mother every day, you will become my cinnabar mole."

Luo Yang also blinked, but unfortunately his eyelashes were not as long as Jiang Fan's.

"Pfft!"

Lao Jiang imagined what his daughter would look like when she was forty years old, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"You're going to die!"

Jiang Fan was embarrassed. He started to do it with the documents still in his hand.

While beating him, he said, "I will never have a barrel waist, let alone weigh 150 pounds. Also, Luo Yang, you are finished. I will call my mother later and tell her what you said!"

"Hey, hey, hey, a gentleman should use his mouth instead of his fists!"

Luo Yang dodged and said, "Also, beauty, please stay elegant."

Jiang Yuanshan quickly stood up because he had already smelled the dog food and decided to leave now while it was just beginning.

So the only sounds left in the office were the couple's quarrels.

It’s great to be young!
