Chapter 623 Maverick Wancheng Foundation
Seeing Ye Zishu coming over, Guo Dongsheng naturally wouldn't let him go easily, so he took him to inspect many subsidiaries of Wancheng Jiye, so that he could learn more about the industries under Wancheng Jiye.
The industries under Wancheng Foundation are actually very complicated. At present, it mainly involves the industrial chain related to construction. However, this industrial chain is a bit long, resulting in a large number of subsidiaries.
There are ceramic business groups that focus on architectural ceramics, business groups that focus on cement production and sales, business groups that focus on architectural paint industry, and groups that focus on stone processing.
There are also sub-group companies for doors, windows, lamps, blocks, steel, etc., and a lot of sub-group companies for new building materials.
And business subsidiary group companies such as building ancillary equipment, facilities and services, such as elevators, greening, entertainment, education, catering, commerce and so on.
In some of these businesses, they will not be deeply involved, such as education. They only provide places for educational needs, but they will not be responsible for the provision of educational content and services.
Because they want to build so many buildings, according to the requirements of Ye Zishu, they must allocate as many educational facilities as there are people, so that the children of local residents must not have difficulties in going to school.
Even after the construction of these schools is completed, there are not many people living in the surrounding area, and these facilities must be built well, just in case, and they cannot be used for other purposes.
There are also businesses such as catering and entertainment. They only provide property services and related planning services, and they do not operate these businesses in person. They specialize in technology, so they may not be able to do well in these businesses.
There are also businesses that will carry out in-depth operations, such as hotels, supermarkets, movie theaters, etc. All of these require large capital and large players to play well, and it is not a business that ordinary people can do well in three or two.
Moreover, Wancheng Foundation believes that it can manage these businesses well, and has also established related subsidiary group companies, but some of them have already started business operations, and some are still in preparation.
For example, their hotel business has already started operation, but most of the hotel sites are leased at present, and the hotel brands they operate belong to low-end chain brands.
And their mid-to-high-end chain hotel brands will mainly rely on their own properties, but Wancheng Foundation will have to wait until next year to complete the first batch of its own properties.
The supermarket business has already started operation, but it has only been in operation for a few months. The current overall scale is not large. If they really want to develop, they have to wait for their own properties.
At that time, relying on commercial centers and urban complexes, they will build a large number of supermarkets, and rely on residential areas to build a large number of convenience stores and other business operations.
According to Ye Zishu, as long as there are people, it is necessary to provide basic shopping services for the people here, and to extend the service to everyone.
Moreover, they also provide post-construction services, that is, decoration services, property services, etc., and decoration services involve the research and development and production of many decoration materials.
Property services are relatively simple, but they have also visited many countries for investigation. How to do a good job in property management will be another important business besides the real estate industry.
There is another big business that Wancheng Jiye pays special attention to, that is the construction machinery equipment business, which is one of his best-developed businesses at present.
The production of construction machinery is already in short supply. One is that they themselves have a very large demand for these machinery and equipment, and they themselves are large consumers. Second, the production capacity is underestimated, and the production capacity left for the external market is relatively limited.
Although the country has not invested heavily in large-scale infrastructure, with the development of the economy, the demand for infrastructure will naturally increase, and some things will naturally be improved, but they will not be particularly advanced.
In addition, there are many real estate companies and construction companies in China, but these real estate companies basically build one or two communities, and then they will continue to build the next project when they are almost sold.
This is a development model due to their underfunding,
In the case that the country has not yet liberalized credit, it can only develop through this model, and the speed is naturally relatively slow.
And Wancheng Foundation is basically another way. Not only has it built the entire construction industry chain by itself, but also all the construction funds are its own, and there is no need to borrow from banks.
The business model may also be very different. In fact, Ye Zishu still hopes to be able to sell, so that Wancheng Foundation does not need to bear too much financial burden.
But in fact, he finds it difficult, because all the building foundations that Wancheng Foundation is building now use anti-seismic devices. This measure alone has increased the construction cost by at least 500 yuan per square meter.
We must know that for ordinary residential buildings, if the land price is low, the house price will not exceed 1,000 yuan per square meter, which means that consumers need to spend at least 50% more to buy their houses.
In addition, the construction cost of Wancheng Foundation is also very high. Not only ordinary building materials are used in it, but also special building materials are used, so that the building can be used for a long time.
Ordinary buildings have a service life of more than 50 years. Even with good management and active maintenance, they generally only have a service life of about 100 years. If it is longer, it may not be suitable for living.
As for these buildings of Wancheng Jiye, as long as the service life is not deliberately damaged, it will not be a problem to use them for three to five hundred years. If they are actively managed and maintained, the service life will be longer.
In fact, many real estate companies know that Wancheng Jiye has such a good thing, but they will not buy it at all, because the cost is too high, and they are afraid that they will not be competitive in the market.
When formulating this set at the beginning, Ye Zishu actually predicted that there might be the situation today, but he still followed his own path.
The reason why he insists on doing this is because the cost that seems expensive now may not necessarily be expensive in the future. If it is calculated according to the number of years of use, it is actually more cost-effective.
On the other hand, he is not short of money. Anyway, his original intention of entering real estate was not to make a lot of money, but to give more people the opportunity to make money and let his funds have an outlet.
So if you can’t sell it, you don’t really care about it. At worst, you can hold it yourself and rent it out. You can even use cheap rental methods to curb domestic real estate prices.
In this way, rich people can sell high-priced houses, while those without money can still live and work in peace and contentment without worrying about housing problems.
Since Wancheng Foundation acquired the land very early and on a large scale, the cost of the land is very low. Even if it is operated at a low price, it can still bring them sustainable income.
If the tenant feels that renting a house does not feel like a home, Wancheng Foundation can also launch long-term rental services, such as 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, 50 years, 70 years and other long-term leases.
In this way, tenants can also enjoy lower rents. If the rent is based on 50 and 70 years, it is actually not much different from buying a house by yourself.
The only difference is that they do not have the property rights of the house, and they do not have the ability to cash out profits when the real estate price is high, but for the only house, there is no arbitrage situation, because it is impossible to sell it on the market.
What's more, it is unknown whether the existing houses can be used for more than 50 years. The pursuit of skyrocketing assets brought about by the illusory house price appreciation does not make much sense to most people.
During the inspection, Ye Zishu also told Guo Dongsheng about the wooden villa of Qilin Timber Industry Group, and hoped that the two companies would have the opportunity to cooperate.
The wooden villas he mentioned are definitely not as simple as our common wooden villas. If that is the case, there is absolutely not much market in China.
Because such a wooden house is neither soundproof nor heat-insulated, once a fire occurs, it is very easy to lose it all, and the wooden house gives people a sense of unreliability.
Although the materials used by Qilin Timber Industry Group to build wooden villas are graded, they can play a very good role in sound insulation, heat insulation and flame retardancy. It is said that it is wood, but it is actually just a little bit of wood fiber.
Knowing the news from Ye Zishu, Guo Dongsheng expressed his interest. The first thing he thought of was that scenic spots and tourist areas are very suitable for building such villas.
The protection of scenic spots may not be in place now, but Guo Dongsheng has traveled abroad a lot during this time, so he naturally knows the protection of the environment abroad.
Domestic laws and regulations related to environmental protection will be enacted soon, and the construction of reinforced concrete houses in scenic spots will be greatly restricted, because there will be too much construction waste, which is not conducive to cleaning and will seriously damage the local environment.
But wooden houses are different. As long as the reasonable development is carried out, the damage to the environment of wooden villas is actually very limited, and it is also very easy to clean up.
In fact, according to Ye Zishu's thinking, it is best to build such a reinforced concrete house only in the golden area of the city, because these lands are scarce resources and have a high population density, so only reinforced concrete can be used for construction.
Rather than a particularly scarce land, it is the most environmentally friendly to use this kind of wooden material to build villas, especially after the industrialization of food production, there will be a lot more domestic land for industry, commerce and residence, and villas are the best choice.
Of course, this is just his personal idea, but Wancheng Foundation can try to build some villa communities like this. If the effect is good, it can be further promoted.
It took him 5 days to follow Guo Dongsheng to various factories and companies in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. On September 7, he finally left Shanghai and went directly to Xi'an.
As for the car used, the driver and temporary secretary were directly asked to drive back to Wuhan. This is the longest inspection he has spent since starting his business. Overall, he is quite satisfied.
