Chapter 80: The other side

Zhao Deshan was a little restless and was a little erratic when driving. The girl wearing sunglasses and scarf next to him seemed to have noticed this. She was a little curious. It was difficult for her to see Zhao Deshan perform like this. She was usually careless and indifferent, but today she seemed to have changed.

"Brother Shan, you seem to have some worries? Is it because of your elder brother? Is your elder brother very powerful? Are you afraid of him?"

"Hehe, there is no one in this world that I am afraid of. Well, if you have to say there is, it is my elder brother." Zhao Deshan did not hide this from his girlfriend, "He is only one year older than me, but he is better than me in everything. Except for being a little taller than him and a little older than him, I have to admit defeat. Since I was a child, I have never beat him in anything I did."

The girl was even more curious. She knew that the man in front of her was a stubborn man.

It has been in contact for more than half a year, and the relationship between the two has developed more rapidly in the past two months. Although we cannot talk about marriage, it is quite a bit like a man of love and affection. She still has some understanding of the man in front of her.

Although his younger brother is at the helm of such a large Canglang Group, many business expansions were also achieved by Zhao Deshan, especially in external communication and coordination. Zhao Deshan's ability is also remarkable.

"I heard that your brother seems to be working in the government, and he is in your hometown of Anyuan?"

"Well, actually, I always think that if he didn't work as that government cadre, his achievements would definitely be a hundred times better than his current job." Zhao Deshan sighed a little, "It's better to say that Canglang Group was created by my brother rather than me and Changchuan. Without him, he found the first pot of gold to us. Without him, Changchuan and I would have lost all our money in the stock market. How could we take the opportunity to lay the foundation? It is precisely because of my brother's command that we can retire from the stock market and then grow bigger in the water industry. Even our first investment in advertising on CCTV a few years ago was planned by my brother. It can be said that without my brother, Canglang Group might not even have a shadow."

"So, your brother is actually manipulating this Canglang Group?" The girl was so surprised that she took off her sunglasses. This was a big news. The master behind the domestic water industry leader was actually a rural cadre?

"That's not the case. My brother usually just asks about the specific operation of the company. The specific operation is still Changchuan and I. Changchuan is responsible for the overall operation, and I am responsible for the market development. As for production, sales and finance, there are also people. My brother only makes suggestions or make decisions in strategic planning." Zhao Deshan shook his head, "You don't know my brother. My brother looks peaceful in character, but he has a decisive determination that makes you dare not disobey. He generally does not interfere with Changchuan and me, but Changchuan and I have a big deal, so I have to ask my brother for instructions."

The girl laughed, "Are you so afraid of your brother? Are you and your brother not the masters of Canglang Group? You are all adults now, what else can you be afraid of?"

"You don't understand. Our elder brother is like a father. My elder brother has the final say in everything. Although he rarely says anything for so many years, our family has developed a habit. For the affairs of our brothers, even if my sister finds a partner, my brother has to see if it is okay. My brother nodded before he dared to take it home for my parents to see." Zhao Deshan looked at the Mercedes-Benz in front and turned into the fork in front, and he also turned the turn lights.

Zhao Guodong raised his coat and stood on the edge of the street, glanced at the Canglang Building, which had been built to ten floors, then looked around and nodded. The thirty-eighth floor was quite fast, and it took too much time to do it in the third floor underground. However, according to this progress, there should be no problem in completing it in the planned time. This will become the headquarters of Canglang Group and the landmark building of Canglang Group.

After getting back in the car, Mercedes-Benz continued along the street, bypassing the butterfly rotating wheel in front, the car turned to the left, and after driving for a few minutes, the car stopped again. There was still a wasteland that looked like there was not much people. You could vaguely see the tower cranes of some construction sites in the distance, and the road was also a little uneven. Zhao Guodong took a few steps with difficulty and looked at the land ahead at close range.

"It's this?" Zhao Guodong's expression remained unchanged, his hands were inserted into his coat and bag, and asked thoughtfully.

"Well, it's here. This land is about 40 acres. The price is not too expensive. It can be taken down for 10 or 20 million yuan. There is still a piece nearby, about 60 acres. I have learned about the Municipal Planning Bureau through relationships, and the road planning has been roughly out. Although it looks a little far away, the roads will definitely be opened in two or three years. The construction speed of municipal facilities is quite fast. I think this land has quite a development potential, so I thought..." Zhao Changchuan did not continue.

Zhao Guodong nodded. Zhao Changchuan had a very concise vision. He chose the land near the core area of ​​Lujiazui. It is indeed at the current development speed. It may take only two or three years to expand here. Now the whole country is shrouded in the dark clouds of the Asian financial crisis, and it is a good time to acquire land and buy property.

"I think it's OK. As long as the capital can be transferred, I agree with your idea. Crisis is an opportunity. Shanghai may be a place where every inch of land will be valuable in a few years. As a commercial real estate, you should start developing slowly early, and there will be only benefits and no harm." Zhao Guodong's eyes turned around, "This place is only a few kilometers away from your Canglang Building, which is very suitable. Have you discussed it with Brother Pei?"

"After discussing, Brother Pei and Brother Hui have also visited each other several times and thought it was worth taking action. But they felt that the financial pressure was a bit too high. However, our two companies jointly developed and our Canglang Real Estate, as owners, are only responsible for construction. If the construction speed is appropriately slowed down as you said, I think the financial pressure will be much less." Zhao Changchuan obviously thought about this plan carefully, and how to ensure capital flow is also a difficult problem.

"Well, this is just right. Although there are real estate companies in Tianfu, they are under great financial pressure now, and their main business is still in Anyuan Province. It may be difficult for them to develop commercial real estate. Their focus is temporarily on residential development in Andu. However, I have suggested that they seize the opportunity and make efforts to make progress and expand against the trend through this domestic economic contraction period. Only in this way can they grow themselves as quickly as possible." Zhao Guodong no longer looked at it, waved his hand to signal Changchuan to get on the car before talking.

"But brother, the domestic economic downturn has been shown. Who knows when this downturn will end? If you take the land, you have to say development. It is understandable that it will be slow to repair, but you have to give the land transfer fee? You have to put on a stance in engineering construction? You have to deal with the government's criticism? You have to deal with the government's criticism? In this way, the financial pressure is really a bit heavy. Brother Pei and others are also more cautious. After all, they started by building construction, and the speed of funds recovery is not as good as that of us in the water industry."

Zhao Changchuan did not blindly follow Zhao Guodong's point of view. Tianfu Group is different from Canglang Group. Real estate is their main business. If you really want to expand against the trend as Zhao Guodong said, the capital chain will inevitably be tightened.

"Well, who is not like this? Opportunities are hidden in the crisis. If the economic situation is improving and everyone is developing competition, it is even more difficult to grow quickly. Only by judging the situation in the crisis, accurately capturing the opportunity, and taking decisive action can you take advantage of the situation to achieve expansion." Zhao Guodong of course knew the difficulty, but just by knowing the unparalleled advantage of the future trend, Tianfu Group must seize this opportunity to fight.

Seeing that his brother was full of confidence, Zhao Changchuan couldn't help but say, "Brother, you are so despised by the destructive power that may have gradually swept the financial crisis? At the Hong Kong World Bank annual meeting in October last year, the central leadership stated that the RMB would never depreciate. If the RMB did not depreciate, the competitiveness of domestic exports would inevitably be greatly weakened. I estimate that the domestic economy will definitely be quite difficult this year, and the consumer market may also be greatly impacted."

"It's not that I despise it. The financial crisis will definitely have some negative impact on our country. Moreover, the central leadership's statement that the RMB does not depreciate is also due to the central government's consideration. Once the RMB depreciates, it can certainly ensure our export competitiveness, but the Southeast Asian economy will fall into the abyss. This is not in line with our fundamental interests, but also affects the image of a responsible major country established by our country." Zhao Guodong glanced at Changchuan in surprise, but felt a sense of joy in his heart. As a corporate leader, he can learn to closely link political current affairs with corporate development, which is also a not simple progress.

"In addition, China is a large country with a large population, and its national conditions are special and cannot be compared with other countries. In addition to Europe and the United States, the domestic demand market is also a considerable market. Moreover, the savings rate of Chinese residents in the world is unmatched. If we can mobilize the savings of Chinese residents into the consumer market, even if our exports are under tremendous pressure, we can still pass the test smoothly. I believe that the central leaders will see this, but how to mobilize the savings of residents into the consumer market, the central leaders are probably weighing the pros and cons, but I estimate that real estate marketization should be an unavoidable choice."

"Brother, are you saying that the real estate market, including residential housing, will be completely completely marketized?" Zhao Changchuan seemed to believe that the so-called real estate marketization has been proposed for many years, but there has never been substantial progress. The purchasing power of the two mainstream consumer groups, the cadres of national party and government organs and employees of state-owned enterprises, has not been completely pushed to the market, so the marketization of real estate will never be complete.

"I'm sure."
