Chapter 1005 Bar Street

"Angry? Why should I be angry?"

On the other side of the phone, Yin Jun laughed when he heard Wei Xiaofan talking about Baylor House, "Brother Wei, I'm very happy! It's rare that they are so generous, why don't we? We bought this house!"

Wei Xiaofan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "Jun, are you sincere? Or are you talking sarcastically?"

"Of course I'm telling the truth." Yin Jun couldn't laugh or cry. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Brother Wei, you said that the houses in that row all face Houhai?"

"Yes, the Qianhai, Houhai and Xihai of Shichahai are all places where high-ranking officials and aristocrats have always lived, and their houses are all next to the lake." Wei Xiaofan said, "It's just that the houses in this area are a little bit off, not close to each other. Next to Houhai, you have to walk more than 20 meters after crossing the road to reach the lake. But the scenery is also quite good, especially when standing in the courtyard."

"How many houses are there in this row?" Yin Jun asked.

"Eight!" Wei Xiaofan also learned about it. "The front is about more than 300 meters. The rest is not as big as our Baylor Mansion, but it is also where Beizi and the first and second grade officials live. They all look good."

"Okay." Yin Jun nodded, "Brother Wei, when you talk to them, help me talk about these eight courtyards! I want them all!"

"..." Wei Xiaofan thought he heard wrongly.

The next moment, he said in surprise: "What are you doing? Are you planning to buy a house in Huajing for investment? It's not worth it! How can the housing prices in Huajing be comparable to Xiangjiang? It won't be comparable in 100 years!"

Wei Xiaofan did not make random metaphors.

Baylor House is planning to sell it to Yin Jun for 1 million, but aside from the fact that house transactions are not that easy now and houses in this area are generally not privately owned, even such a large house is not worth buying in Huajing. It only sells for about 3 million.

A house of more than 6,000 square meters is sold for only 3 million yuan...

Converted into Hong Kong dollars, it’s a bargain price. You can’t even buy a house in Tin Shui Wai, okay?

This is still the most stylish area in Huajing!

Not to mention the price of houses, but just the salary level, Hong Kong and the Mainland are not at the same level at all.

When comparing these two conditions, Wei Xiaofan said that it would not be comparable in 100 years, which is natural.

Yin Jun smiled when he heard the words, "In less than 100 years, for a country as big as China, the capital will always be one of the most important places. As our country becomes stronger and our income becomes higher and higher, the housing prices in Huajing will also He was very fired. I think, thirty or forty years, it should be about the same."

In 2018, the average housing price within the Huajing Fifth Ring Road was 100,000 yuan per square meter.

This price is exactly the same as the overall house price in Xiangjiang.

If the income factors of the two places are added, the housing prices in Huajing are actually higher than those in Xiangjiang.

However, Yin Jun did not hesitate to explain. He immediately said: "Brother Wei, tell them that after I buy these houses, I plan to turn them into several bars of different styles. And at most I will only do interior decoration and will not destroy these houses." The structure of the house. On the basis of protecting and inheriting the things left by our ancestors, we should be more integrated with reality and catch up with the trend."

Wei Xiaofan naturally knew what a bar was.

Dong Wei likes bars very much. When he had some money, he would invite Wei Xiaofan and others to drink.

So Wei Xiaofan knew that regular bars were very stylish, and the people who came and went were not bad people.

But the problem is that this is a mainland where the thoughts and behaviors are closed and not open. Now there are only bars in a few five-star hotels, and only foreigners are allowed to go in and consume, but you want to open one on the beach in Houhai Can the government agree to a bar street that everyone can see and come in?

Hearing Wei Xiaofan ask this question, Yin Jun said: "I know it is difficult to ask them to change their minds, but this is my request. If they don't believe me at all and think my thoughts are dangerous, then what else can they do to cooperate?" When it comes to reform, opening up, and opening up, this is not only necessary in production, but also in life. People have the right to enjoy life, right?"

"I can't help you." Wei Xiaofan had nothing to do with his little brother, "I understand what you mean, so I'll be tougher and tell them. Anyway, if you really buy it, it will cost a lot of money to modify it. They can digest it slowly over a year and a half."

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Wei!"

Yin Jun smiled and hung up the phone.

Wei Xiaofan didn't say anything, but Yin Jun understood.

The identity of the two people from Xiangjiang has indeed brought great help to them in doing things in the mainland.

Wei Xiaofan also saw that as long as it was not something harmful to nature, people in Xiangjiang would receive great preferential treatment in the mainland, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were chasing after them.

Therefore, he is not afraid of offending anyone at all. Even the last time the second-generation car borrowing incident was so menacing, he did not hesitate to fight back, and finally got such a good result. Now he will not even Scared.

It’s great that Baylor Mansion didn’t buy it, right?

Anyway, it’s not me who said it, it was you who begged me to buy it. I have no desire or request, so if I don’t buy it, I won’t buy it.

As long as Wei Xiaofan has this mentality, Huajing will definitely give in.

Because Yin Jun remembered that when Mr. Huo's eldest grandson married the diving queen, he gave the girl's parents the Huajing courtyard house, which he bought a few years later.

Since Mr. Huo can buy it, he can also buy it.

Mr. Huo represents the past and present, but he represents the future.

At the age of 18, he has become one of the top five super-rich people in Hong Kong. You can imagine how the big guys will value you.

Yin Jun will definitely do what he should do, but he will not miss out on the benefits he should get.

If you don’t take these things, others may not be able to rest assured.

He had never thought of buying a property in Huajing so early.

After all, Huajing is still very poor now, and there is no point in buying a house.

In 12 years, Li Chaoren will build Huajing Oriental Plaza on Chang'an Street. By then, Huajing will have entered a period of rapid development.

At that time, Yin Jun took a piece of land nearby and built a villa community, allowing Wei Xiaofan and other friends to live in it, which was quite relaxing.

But this time, when Wei Xiaofan told Yin Jun that the higher-ups actually offered a Baylor Mansion in Houhai and wanted to give it to him, he was immediately moved.

Yin Jun had been to Huajing several times in his previous life, and naturally he had also been to the famous Houhai bar area where Huajing's artistic youth and petty bourgeoisie white-collar workers gathered.

On a narrow piece of land on the edge of Houqiong Island and the north of Qianhai, there are more than 150 bars of various types densely packed, which are lively at night, not inferior to Sanlitun at all.

This is also the birthplace of Huajing's music and cutting-edge entertainment culture. Many folk singers started here, and there are also many hidden dragons and crouching tigers musicians who continue their music careers here in various ways.

After listening to Wei Xiaofan's description, Yin Jun knew that this land was not in the core of Shichahai, that is, it was not around Yinding Bridge.

But no one is definitely saying that Houhai Bar Street in this life must be in its original place, right?

Not to mention anything else, after buying these eight houses, the overall area is larger than the entire Houhai Bar Street in the previous life.

Of course, Yin Jun is not that tacky. He divides the houses into sets to make bars. He plans to make a different style bar for each house. A total of eight is enough.

He's not doing it to make money either.

I just think it’s such an atmospheric thing, and I feel happy when I do it.

It's that simple.

But as Wei Xiaofan said, there is no need to rush the Houhai Bar Street matter.

On the one hand, the transformation must be careful and conscientious and cannot be done haphazardly.

Yin Jun must protect the original appearance of these courtyards to the greatest extent.

Even before the renovation, the necessary repairs will undoubtedly cost more than the purchase of the house.

But it is definitely worth it, because if Yin Jun wants to see these houses from the Qing Dynasty decades later, he must spend a lot of money to repair them.

After ensuring stability and safety, various modifications to circuit walls and other aspects will begin.

This project alone will take at least a year.

Then there is another big problem, which is spending power.

Of course, running a bar and running a luxury goods business have something in common, that is, they do not do business for ordinary people.

A bottle of Corona only costs 10 yuan outside. In a bar, it costs at least 20 yuan, and 30 yuan is not uncommon. If you meet someone who is budget-conscious, they will definitely turn around and leave. Take a box home at a convenience store or supermarket. Slowly. Drink slowly.

The real customers of the bar are those who are lonely, empty and cold, as well as those young people who are full of youth.

Only these people will be willing to spend money.

However, there is still a big difference between being willing to spend money and having money.

Don't look back 20 years later, when bars in Houhai, Huajing gradually emerged, large numbers of white-collar workers flocked in, drinking dozens or hundreds of yuan worth of drinks, not caring about money at all.

But now in 1981, and in the next 35, 78, or 78 years, consumption in mainland China is the same thing.

To be precise, before 2008, the mainland's consumption power was always at a relatively low level - the national average salary in 2008 was only about 2,000, and the average salary in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen was slightly higher, reaching more than 3,000. A little, but everyone’s various burdens are also increasing. How do you want them to consume?

Even from 1983 to 2008, China's wage growth averaged more than 15% every year. However, because the base was too small, the money in everyone's pockets was still very limited.

For now, they can afford a beer that costs RMB 10-20, but those whiskeys, cocktails, etc. that cost RMB 100 are really unaffordable.

Therefore, in the first five years, these bars could not be opened together. At most, one or two bars were opened first. Anyway, each house was at least 3000-4000 square meters, and the area was completely sufficient.

Yin Jun simply doesn't know how to play the trick of building one or two stories higher.

When opening a bar in Houhai, the most important thing is to make it look like a cheap restaurant. What does that sound like?

Apart from a small number of people who got rich first, the majority of these initial customers should be employees of foreign-funded enterprises and staff of embassies and consulates.

I believe the people above can also think of the joints, so as for the consideration of "will bars corrode people's hearts", even if there is, there will not be too much.

What's a bar?

Twelve years later, Cheung Kong Group’s Oriental Plaza was the most impressive project.

The Huajing Municipal Government personally took the lead. Their boss, one of the thirty or so top bosses, ran around the government for several months and finally moved out dozens of ministries and commissions. What a shame. What a spectacle!

Compared to Oriental Plaza, if the people above are unwilling to accommodate Yin Jun's simple ideas, then the young man should really be more careful!
