Time came to the beginning of September. Dusuo had a way to find a guarantor, so he started a bodyguard business, and for the time being they all went to the Middle East and left the Soviet Union. Xiushui Trading stopped its northern trade after delivering the last order of goods from the Soviet Union. Yang Dongxu set his sights on Nanyang, that is, some countries in Southeast Asia.
Even though Southeast Asia is a small country, and some of them are even unfamiliar with their names, the trade there is much more developed than in the mainland now, and the products are rich. If they can open up channels, they can make a lot of money.
The situation in the Middle East is indeed getting more and more tense, attracting the attention of the world, but the US military is constantly deploying troops. Even though Iraq issued a statement saying that Kuwait is a province of its own country, it still kept warning but did not take action.
So after staying at home for a while, Yang Dongxu was ready to go to Hong Kong. "The Swordsman: The Invincible" has been released, with a box office of 1.3 million in the first week, which made other film companies in Hong Kong breathe a sigh of relief.
Although more than one million a week may seem like a lot, compared with really good movies, it is just average. Moreover, the first week is when the audience's expectations are highest, so if the first week's box office is only 1.3 million, according to previous management, the box office will be reduced by about one-third in the second week.
Then the third week will be less than one-third. In the last month of release, the Hong Kong box office will be 3 to 4 million. The overseas box office will barely exceed 10 million. It should be about the same. It will not be like "Fist of Fury" which almost broke through 2000. Ten thousand.
The movie can also gross over 10 million at the box office, which makes some people in the Hong Kong film industry secretly curse Yang Dongxu for having run out of skills. However, there are also some people who are optimistic about Yang Dongxu. After all, a newbie can make two movies with a box office of over 10 million, and he is not only a producer but also a screenwriter and director. He is definitely a great talent.
But just when Yang Dongxu was leaving for Hong Kong, the always-reassured Hurricane Construction called, so Yang Dongxu had to change his ticket to Hong Kong for one to Hainan.
Hurricane Construction is currently one of the construction companies that has acquired the most land in Hainan. It may not be well-known nationwide, but it can definitely be ranked among the top three in Hainan.
However, after Fu Dehai wanted to build the Hurricane Construction headquarters building in Haikou last year but was rejected by Yang Dongxu, Hurricane Construction could only continue to rent office buildings. This made Fu Dehai often ridiculed by colleagues in the industry for being stingy.
Look at other real estate companies, let alone the top three, even the one in the top 20 does not have its own separate office location? Even if some companies don't build a headquarters building, they still buy a small building or a one-story office building with a big wave of their hands. Do you know this is called face?
"What happened?" Yang Dongxu sat in the main seat in the company conference room, and next to him sat Zhou Ya, and below him sat Fu Dehai, and then Dongzi and Wu Aibing. Although Wang Qiangguo's shares were still Yes, but currently Yang Dongxu still lets him reflect at home, so now the entire company is managed by Fu Dehai and Zhou Ya is responsible for supervision.
In addition to shareholders like them, Fu Dehai also works with a middle-aged man wearing glasses. In such a large company with several construction sites, Zhou Ya is only responsible for capital operation and some project approvals and is rarely responsible for specific management. Fu Dehai It's impossible for one person to be busy, so the company has several vice presidents, and the person in front of me is one of them.
The man's name is Bai Liyi and he is now 41 years old. He once studied in the United States and majored in business management. Later he returned to Hong Kong and worked in a real estate company. He has rich experience and was a talented person that Fu Dehai hired at a high price. Now he is Fu Dehai's right-hand man. He has the most power among the four vice presidents of the company.
At this time, Bailiyi, who looked polite and wearing glasses, was looking at Yang Dongxu. He knew that the boss would come over for a meeting today. After all, the boss would definitely come after such a big thing.
Baili Yi couldn't explain how he felt about that boss who had a cold temperament and elegant face, and who was still a little distracted when he first met him after having been in society for so long. I don’t know why Fu Dehai, who is relatively well-known in Hong Kong, is willing to be a general manager instead of a chairman.
But today, a young man who looked to be 17 or 18 years old came to sit in the main seat. This surprised Bai Liyi. He didn't know who he was. I heard that even though Hurricane Construction is a real estate company that has just been established two or three years ago, the reason why it can continue to acquire land in Hainan is because there are people above it. Could this be the young master of that company?
"We may have been blocked by a coalition." Fu Decai said with a frown, and then glanced at Bai Liyi.
Even though Bailiyi was not a shareholder, he still asked him to sit in the conference room today. Naturally, it was because there were some things that needed him to explain. He was mainly responsible for this aspect of the business.
Seeing Fu Dehai's signal, Bai Bailiyi put away his secret observation of Yang Dongxu, straightened his eyes and said, "Since August 14th, we haven't gotten a piece of land, even a small piece of land, or from someone else." I haven't gotten a piece of the land transferred here. Those relationships I had in the past are currently being delayed in getting things done, and even the people who work for them are dragging their feet.
In particular, bank loans are not as smooth as before. I have investigated other real estate companies, and the land acquisition for those companies outside the top ten that are not as good as ours is still very smooth and no different from before. So I think someone is blocking our company, and they have a lot of background. "
In future generations, it would be normal for a real estate company not to acquire land for half a month, or even for half a year. But it is definitely not normal here in Hainan.
Nowadays, the pace of land transactions in Hainan is as whirring as a windmill. Land acquired in the morning can be sold in the afternoon, and even the land sold can be changed hands again within a day. This shows how lively Hainan real estate is at this time.
With such a fast pace of acquiring and selling land, Hurricane Construction actually didn't get the land for half a month, and it didn't even get the land that others had passed on to. This would be damned if it wasn't someone who targeted it.
"Are you specifically targeting our family?" Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin.
"Judging from the results of the investigation, this is the case." Baili Yi nodded.
"You said before that you would slowly transfer the land in your hands, and our main focus was on the Sanya Resort. So we slowed down the speed of acquiring land, so we only discovered that something was wrong now." Fu Dehai added.
Not to mention half a month, even three days without getting the land is abnormal for Hurricane Construction. However, some time ago, Fu Dehai and the entire company focused their energy on quietly getting out of the land, and did not care about whether they could get the land. That's why it took so long to discover something fishy.
"What is the current situation of the company's funds? How long can we last if the bank does not lend money?" Yang Dongxu asked.
Fu Dehai looked at Zhou Ya, and Zhou Ya motioned for him to speak. Although Zhou Ya has always been in charge of the financial aspects of Hurricane Construction, she has been handling stock matters abroad in the past two months, so Fu Dehai knows the latest situation better than he does.
"At present, our company's working capital is still 300 million, of which 200 million has to be allocated to Sanya Engineering. Some other construction sites also require about 70 million in funds, so our working capital is less than 30 million."
"What about the land and bank loans in our hands?"
"We have 13 land parcels worth more than 100 million yuan in our hands. The other small parcels worth tens of millions or several million are worth about 700 million yuan in total. However, these parcels are excluding those in Sanya. After that. We have a loan of 700 million from the bank, of which 160 million is due at the end of this month."
"In other words, the land we can sell is worth about 2 billion yuan, and we owe the bank 700 million yuan. After all the land is processed, we will still have 1.3 billion yuan of liquidity in hand?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"Absolutely, but the 700 million in the bank is the principal, and we will also pay some interest." Fu Dehai nodded and said.
"What's going on over there in Sanya?"
"The construction has basically been completed and the finishing work behind it has been completed. The small pier can be put into use before the end of October. However, the infrastructure connected to the city is not yet complete. If we want to invest in infrastructure, this will be a bottomless pit."
"How much land do we have over there?"
"7.6 square kilometers." Fu Decai glanced at Yang Dongxu.
I have no objection to building a resort in Sanya, Fudecai, because the scenery there is really good, and the beaches along the coastline are also of high quality. But he didn't agree with Yang Dongxu's crazy acquisition of land there.
How much land does a resort need? One thousand acres is enough for us, even if we add 5,000 acres of all the high-quality coastline, it will be enough to digest.
But Yang Dongxu was not satisfied and kept asking him to buy and buy. As a result, he bought 7.6 square kilometers and more than 11,400 acres of land. Although it is very cheap to buy land in Sanya, even if it is turned into commercial land, it will not cost much, but Yang Dongxu cannot afford to buy too much.
More than 10,000 acres of land is enough to build a small town, not to mention a resort. This does not include the sea areas where the coastline extends outward. If you include it, the area will at least double.
"Tell me about the specific funds there."
"It didn't cost much to buy that land, a total of less than 300 million. This is also because we bought it with foreign exchange, so it was a bit more favorable. The main capital occupied there is the construction of the resort. 1.5 billion has been invested since the construction. .
The 200 million that needs to be allocated now is just for the finishing works and some infrastructure extending around the resort to the pier. In the future, according to your decoration requirements, we will spend at least 300 million in decoration funds, and we will also need to buy a boat.
In addition to tourist boats, we also need passenger boats. The airport is too far away from us and tourists cannot reach Sanya directly. They can only come by boat. Because there is no highway from Haikou to Sanya, let alone railway. " Said these words, Fu Dehai's heart was full of resentment.
The current resort looks very impressive and cost 1.5 billion to build. According to the current ratio of RMB, it will be equivalent to at least 4 billion in future generations.
But no matter how well-built it is, it is of no use. There are no roads, no railways, and no airplanes there. There are no tourists who want to go to the big pier, so they can only take a boat and it takes a lot of time. In Fu Dehai's opinion, the value of building such a luxurious resort in Sanya, where the current infrastructure is not perfect at all, is that his head is caught in the door.
