Chapter 1318: Looking at the House

Throughout the afternoon, after finishing his official work, Simon spent the rest of his time looking at the house.

In Changping District, there are not only Rose Garden villas controlled by the Westeros system, but also many high-end villa communities. Chen Qing also carried out a shopping spree a few years ago.

In a villa area called Bishui Manor near the Shahe Reservoir on the Nansha River.

Chen Qing brought her boss into a villa, and introduced: "This is a real estate development that started in 1994, two years later than the Rose Garden, but it has been successfully opened in 1995, because it is adjacent to the water and the location is excellent. The current average price is around 6,000, the boss guesses, what was the house price when it opened in 1995?"

Most of the other people have already left. Except for the security guards and other entourage, there are only a few women such as Jill Pector and Charlotte Brenita. Simon didn't bother to guess, and looked at the building, which was only about 400 square meters Looking at the villas on the left and right, he asked, "How much?"

"2,500," Chen Qing didn't force her boss to guess, and said, "It opened in June 1995, and now it has more than doubled in value in two and a half years. The current occupancy rate of the first two hundred villas is over 70% , is the best-selling villa complex in Changping District, and I picked 27 villas with better locations and larger units at one time from the remaining villas, and I only got a 17% discount when I bargained."

Chen Qing spoke with great interest, and Simon was even more emotional when he heard the words.

Ten or twenty years later, if people hear that the housing price of 2,500 square meters in Beijing is still a top villa, they will probably feel unreal.

Charlotte Brenita next to him interjected: "Chen, the occupancy rate of 70% is not high, is it?"

"Look at it that way," Chen Qing said: "In recent years, the villas in the capital area have been mainly provided to overseas investors and a very small number of people who got rich first in recent years. However, as you saw on the road just now, the surrounding areas are basically rural areas. Well, unlike in the West, rich people are used to living in the suburbs, and the environment of the wealthy suburbs is also very good, here, in short, in China, rich people don’t like low-end and remote real estate very much.”

Everyone talked and came to the upper floor of the villa. Several women surrounded Simon and walked to the viewing terrace, looking around. Because it leads the Nansha River and there is a reservoir next to it, the greenery in this villa area is obviously stronger than the rose garden, so it is also It will not give people a sense of remoteness in the deep countryside.

In comparison, the surrounding area of ​​the rose garden is completely connected to the surrounding villages, which is not satisfactory.

If there are disadvantages.

The houses here are not large in size, basically between 200 and 400 square meters.

However, anyway, Simon doesn't plan to live by himself, but if he buys it and hoards it, it will definitely not lose money. With Simon's net worth, at least 27,000 sets have to be hoarded to be more in line with his status. Of course, it's not good to be empty, so I plan to spend a lot of money in the golden house, if I don't pretend to be a woman from a few neighborhoods, I'm embarrassed to say hello when I go out, right?

Thinking of this, Simon said to Jill Pector: "See this way, around the rose garden, you'd better operate like this."

Jill nodded and said, "Boss, Annie and I visited this place a long time ago, but the interior of the rose garden is already very complicated. As for the surrounding area, we can't take care of it."

Chen Qing said from the side: "It's enough to have money. Since the boss still wants to continue betting, we can just buy more surrounding land."

The round-faced Zhao Anni interjected weakly at the side: "Actually, it's about money."

Charlotte Brenita said: "Simon, I think, are you betting too much on the real estate field?"

"You have to understand, Charlotte, in many cases, hard work is not important, but direction is the most important thing."

Charlotte Brenita shook her head: "I don't really understand."

Chen Qing heard something from her boss, and said at this time: "The boss believes that the prosperity of the real estate industry is an inevitable trend in every country's rapid economic development stage. Europe, North America, Japan, and other countries in Southeast Asia have all experienced real estate booms. .”

Charlotte Brenita said: "Then, it's all broken?"

"Oh, yes, but China's real estate industry has just started, and now is the best opportunity to enter the game. We just need to exit at the right time."

"Not to mention whether we can seize the right opportunity to launch it," Charlotte Brenita looked at Simon again, and said, "The question is, whether China's real estate industry will prosper is still unknown. I have also learned some information. Many regions in China are still in a welfare housing allocation system, even if the policy tends to be realistic and this system will be gradually abolished, it is hard to say how long it will take, and whether it will continue?"

Seeing the Swiss girl looking at him with an inquisitive face, Simon didn't want to waste his saliva in explaining. Anyway, this woman is not in charge of this part of the business. Qing and the others are responsible.”

Seeing what Simon said, the Swiss girl wisely stopped asking.

In fact, Simon's deepest understanding of China's real estate industry can be described in a joke.

Two people in the 1990s started with the same 5 million RMB. One bought all the houses and enjoyed a leisurely life. The other devoted himself to starting a business and worked hard. Twenty years later, the person who bought a few houses as a charterer was confused He became a billionaire, while the one who focused on industry worked for twenty years and paid everything, but ended up in debt of 5 million and was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Again, choosing the right direction is very important.

On the other hand, in Simon's view, this is actually a kind of ebb and flow of social resources.

When the industrial situation of a society is all focused on real estate, naturally

It also means the accumulation of wealth. In this case, whether it is voluntary or forced, if a person does not want his wealth to shrink, the only way is to join the real estate industry. Walking in other places is either rough and ravines or abysses.

The question is, is there a solution?

have.

It's a pity that the price is too high, so we can only procrastinate, procrastinating for a day, and no one knows what the final result will be.

Simon chose to hoard houses, apart from his personal hobbies, he actually understood certain things.

Just like now, a villa is only one or two million yuan. After ten or twenty years, at least it can increase to ten to twenty million yuan. Calculated according to 20 years, the return is 10 times, and the annualized income is also 16. It seems that Not much. However, compared to investing in other fields, only a few top investors such as Buffett can ensure that the average annual rate of return is above this figure.

After seeing a few villas here, the group left Bishui Manor and rushed to another villa area in the south called Longcheng Garden. This is also a villa area that was built several years later than the Rose Garden. It just opened last year. With an average price of 5,000, Chen Qing bought hundreds of properties at one time at a very favorable price.

So until night fell, the group returned to the urban area.

After dinner, it was still socializing at night. This time it was a small gathering of a few entrepreneurs belonging to the Westeros system at the headquarters of the Human Society in Houhai. Talk about the economic situation in the general direction and the like.

After socializing until after ten o'clock in the evening, they returned to Mao'er Alley again. Simon had just got off the car in the underground parking lot when he saw Qin Buzui sitting on the leisure sofa against the wall with a magazine in his hands, looking very leisurely.

Seeing Simon getting off the car, the girl stood up and greeted him.

Simon hugged the tall girl with natural smiling lips, and asked with a smile, "Why are you hiding here alone?"

Qin Buzui didn't hide anything, raised a finger and pointed upwards: "There are so many, so big."

Simon understood as soon as he heard it.

This is also a girl whose outlook on life has been refreshed by a group of aggressive girls in the mansion.

Smiling, after Qin Buzui greeted Chen Qing, Brenita and Jill, Simon put his arms around the girl's slender waist: "Come take a bath with me, by the way, how are you doing?"

Qin Buzui also put his arms around Simon's arm, and put his tall body close to the man, saying, "It's okay, I just came back from Singapore yesterday."

Simon led the girl directly through the underground corridor, and said with a smile, "Travel?"

"Um."

"It can't be one, is it still the New Year here?"

"And Michelle is with me," Qin Buzui said, seeing Simon's doubts, he added: "My female guard."

Simon remembered one thing: "Where's your mother and your sister?"

Qin Buzui blinked, and looked at the man beside him: "Simon, don't you know?"

"Well, I really don't know."

"Then I don't know, don't care about them."

Seeing the frowning of the girl beside him, Simon didn't say much. The two came to the changing room by the swimming pool and walked in together. The Jiangshan Wu sisters who wanted to follow up saw this and stopped tactfully.

After changing their clothes, they soaked in the hot spring pool of the underground swimming pool together. Qin Buzui, who had already made a little initiative in the changing room just now, learned of the man's recent plans, and didn't obsess over him. He just leaned in the man's arms to accompany him. She chats together.

Then Chen Qing, Jill and Charlotte also rushed over.

Everyone soaked in the pool together. Last night, the eight aggressive girls appeared again, but this time they could only look down from the side.

Several of the girls looked very resentful because of this.

Simon opened their eyes and stopped them last night. They could play this way, they could play that way, but in the end, there was no last step.

It was almost a failure.

After all, these girls know very well that they can only go further when they reach the last step with Simon Westeros. Just like at this time, they can only serve by the side. The ones in the pool are obviously the kind that are very close to men .

Chen Qing happened to notice the resentful expression of the girl named Zhuo Yu next to her, and offered a reward on the spot.

If anyone can make an exception for her own boss, she has a big prize.

It's a pity that even though Chen Qing was serious, the girls didn't dare to be presumptuous, but Qin Buzui answered Chen Qing's call and succeeded quite easily.

However, Simon and Chen Qing jointly ruled that Qin Buzui's score was invalid.

Because it wasn't Simon who took the initiative.

Since my boss didn't plan to do anything, this night was still dominated by Chen Qing, and even Qin Buzui was driven away. In fact, no one dared to compete with Chen Qing.

In the blink of an eye, it's another day.

This is February 2, a new Monday, the sixth day of the first lunar month.

Although many people have resumed their work, the New Year's atmosphere in Beijing remains the same.

It's just that the weather this Monday was not so good, and there was a sandstorm again. After getting up early, I went to the yard, and the sky and the ground were gray, so Simon had to go back indoors soon.

Have dinner with Chen Qing in the morning, and discuss today's affairs by the way.

Chen Qing just got some information today. Regarding South Korea, after some chaebols and oligarchs such as Samsung Group called on their employees to donate their gold to the country to increase foreign exchange reserves, during this period of time, the gold donation movement in South Korea can be described as raging as.

This is actually related.

It was the period when Korea was occupied by Japan, at the beginning of the century

, Japan forcibly borrowed money from South Korea in order to gain control of the Korean economy and even the whole of South Korea. In order to get rid of Japan's loan control, the upper elite of South Korea launched the "National Debt Repayment Movement", which also called on the people to donate money and materials.

It's a pity that the national debt repayment campaign was forcibly interrupted by the Japanese. In the following years, South Korea became a Japanese colony until the end of World War II.

This time, even though the in-depth goal of the previous IMF loan was almost exactly the same as Japan’s forced loan to South Korea, the difference is that no one is stopping the patriotic behavior of Koreans. Confidence and sense of honor, Simon saw this news, and asked Chen Qing to contact the United States, and arranged for the mainstream media in North America to report on it.

In short, the same sentence should be enough to satisfy the spirit of Korean people.

As for whether this donation campaign, which no one stopped anymore, is useful?

of course not.

The fact is that after the financial turmoil in 1997, the South Korean economy was completely liberalized, and the economic lifelines such as automobiles and semiconductors seemed to be still in the hands of Korean chaebols on the surface, but in fact, the controlling stakes were gradually acquired by foreign capital. Moreover, Western capital still adopted the strategy of the colonial era this time, and continued to let the local people manage the local capital.

Therefore, to put it bluntly, although the chaebols in South Korea look good on the surface, in fact, they can only be regarded as the big stewards of Western capital in the future.

This will be true on both timelines.

Chen Qing discussed this matter with her boss, finalized the plan, and then talked about another matter: "The Grand Hyatt Hotel in Itaewon and the land next to it, if there is no accident, we will be able to get it in the near future .Boss, what kind of house do you want this time?"

"A more modern manor is fine. Please show me a few plans first." Simon said, and then asked, "By the way, how much is it?"

"We are still discussing the land attached to the east side of the Grand Hyatt Hotel. This is the most important thing. The main reason is that we can get as much area as possible. However, the Grand Hyatt Hotel itself is about 150 million U.S. dollars. The plot of land will not exceed 200 million U.S. dollars."

Simon nodded.

It is a good deal to win a hotel that is almost the top in South Korea for 200 million US dollars, not to mention the dozens of hectares of land next to it. It is not easy to own such a piece of property in the crowded Seoul area, let alone in the city center.
