Chapter 527 This is the future!

After being used to the cold and humid environment in the UK, I returned to my hometown in the south of my motherland, and under the 30-40 degree sun, I felt warm all over, as if I had just come out of a dry sauna, and I felt refreshed and comfortable all over.

Of course, it may be more of a psychological effect, but it is indeed very comfortable.

I really didn't feel it when I was young, until I grew up and stayed in the UK for a long time, Ye Qiu found that sunbathing has become a luxury. No wonder so many British people go to Spain and the Canary Islands to travel every year, because only in those places can they get such warm sun.

Originally, when Huang Chu was pregnant, Ye Qiu's parents only planned to accompany their son and daughter-in-law to London to live for a while, and take care of Huang Chu and the child by the way, but later they had two children in three years, and they stayed for three or four years, and they had no intention of returning to the arena.

Originally, Ye Ji Snack Shop was handed over to Ye Changming's uncle's family in his hometown. As the saying goes, good things should not be left to outsiders. In addition, they also asked their family to help take care of Ye Qiu's three houses in Xiamen, one of which was a seaside villa on Huandao Road, and two were suites in Bailuzhou. In other words, they just had to clean up every once in a while.

Later, his parents decided to retire. Ye Changming saw that the snack shop business was good. In addition, his cousin's children were young but very business-minded, so he decided to support him in starting a business and established Ye Ji Catering Company. He turned Ye Ji Snack into a chain store and used Ye Qiu as a living signboard. As a result, in just a few years, the catering company's business was booming.

With Ye Qiu's current wealth, of course, he didn't need to worry about the millions of dollars in income that year, but Ye Changming and his wife still felt that it was better for the old couple to be self-sufficient in spending money, so they were responsible for this aspect, and the nominal boss of the catering company was still Ye Changming, but he basically didn't care about anything on weekdays.

Ye Qiu's cousin is a very ambitious man. He didn't read much, only graduated from high school, but he was very courageous. He didn't look ahead and behind like a scholar, and he did whatever he thought of. This is a typical temperament of a Minnan businessman, so Ye Qiu also supports him to make the catering company bigger and stronger.

Of course, although it is a chain snack, it is definitely not comparable to the world's largest chain snack brand, Shaxian snacks, which have opened all over the world. Ye Ji snacks now has only a dozen stores, and they are basically in large and medium-sized cities, taking the middle and high-end route, and are still expanding.

Ye Qiu didn't feel it before, but now he rarely comes back, goes around Xiamen, and goes back to his hometown by the way. He found that he had a very good image in the eyes of his hometown people, because Ye Changming almost invested all the money he earned and the private money given to him by Ye Qiu in his hometown.

Building bridges and paving roads were things we did in the early years. Later, we built primary schools, kindergartens, elderly activity centers, etc. Now, we simply cooperate with the village committee to provide low-interest loans to support villagers to start businesses. At the same time, we are also preparing to set up a hospital.

As Ye Changming and Zhang Yuxiu often said, they will return to China in a few years when their children grow up. After all, they are not used to living in a place with foreigners. Moreover, when people are old, they are just trying to gain a reputation. Money is no longer important to them. As long as they are not starved of money, it is fine. It is not time to use it to do some charity.

Ye Qiu also supports his parents' idea. So this time when he returned to his hometown, although he only stayed there for one day, and he grew up in Xiamen since he was a child and did not have much affection for his hometown, he was deeply touched by what he saw and heard, so he decided to donate money through the village committee and mobilize the rich people in the village to help the village unify planning and construction, and build a two-and-a-half-story villa for every household in the village.

As for the vacant land after the demolition, in addition to being used to build middle schools and universities, the rest will be transformed into parks.

This is also a considerable donation, but Ye Qiu came forward, governments at all levels strongly supported it, and the wealthy people in the village also participated enthusiastically. In addition, Ye Changming expressed his willingness to stay in the country to supervise, and I believe this will also be a good thing for the village.

Not only that, there is no one in the village now who farms the land, and basically they all work in some factories in the village, so Ye Qiu decided to take out another sum of money to help the elderly and children in the village establish medical insurance, subsidize children in the village to go to college, and provide financial assistance to some poor households in the village, etc.

Although Ye Qiu came forward to do all the things, he did it in the name of his parents, because he knew that as parents of the old school, they all hoped to win such a reputation, and as a son, they should naturally support it.

What's more, Ye Qiu has made a lot of money from his own private investment over the years, and this money is simply a drop in the bucket for him.

I don't know if it's because he did a lot of happy things after coming back, so Ye Qiu has been in a very good mood these days after returning to China. He either accompanies his wife and children to run around or lies in the courtyard at home, sunbathing. This also makes his skin, which is not very white, look a little bronze.

When people are in a good mood, facing the vast sea, with a broad vision, they feel particularly comfortable and think about things. Their brains are also very fast and flexible.

A very important thing is, after losing Messi, how should Tottenham Hotspur play in the front court?

Messi's ability to hold the ball is very helpful to Tottenham's offense. Although there is a Van Persie in front, Van Persie's main significant role is to deal with the backcourt pass. In other words, if you pass the ball to him in the backcourt, no matter whether the ball is good or bad, after his processing, it can create a better threat.

But Van Persie is not strong in holding the ball. At least he does not have the ability of Messi to use the ball to attract defensive players.

Ribery is good at attacking, Cavani can run around, and there is no problem with pressing in the frontcourt. It's just that it's a bit difficult for him to play with his feet, especially with his body. He doesn't look like the type of person who is very delicate with his feet.

Eden Hazard will definitely be entrusted by Ye Qiu in the new season. The strength of this 18-year-old Belgian teenager is improving rapidly, and if Gareth Bale is allowed to play on the right side at that time, this will also be a very good choice. It's just that Tottenham's front trident may be more impactful at that time, but the delicate technology will definitely decline.

And to some extent, Van Persie, Cavani, Ribery, Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard, five players playing trident, are barely enough, but if you want to be more cautious, you can consider introducing another player to participate in the competition in the frontcourt.

Alexis Sanchez of Ajax is a very good candidate. He has joined the national team a long time ago, and there is no big problem with the work permit, and his strength has been proven in Ajax.

This season, Ye Qiu decided to arrange for the Danish teenager Eriksen to be loaned to Ajax. This will be a long-term loan, because the entire midfield competition in Tottenham Hotspur is very fierce. Ramsey may be able to guarantee some performance opportunities every season, but Eriksen has few opportunities. Instead, it is better to go to Ajax to continue to grow.

Another candidate worth considering is Juan Mata from Valencia. But to be honest, Ye Qiu is a little reluctant to introduce another Spanish player. It’s not that Tottenham’s internationalization worries him, but whether it will be helpful to the team to introduce Juan Mata when Fabregas and David Silva control the team’s midfield. This is a question, and Arsenal’s French gang problem in the past is also something Ye Qiu must face.

Fabregas is eager to return to Barcelona, ​​David Silva is eager to join Real Madrid, and as a Spanish player, does Juan Mata also have a complex about Barcelona and Real Madrid? This is a question Ye Qiu must consider!

Sometimes when I think about it, Ye Qiu is really unhappy. His players are sleeping with him but dreaming differently, and thinking about another team in his heart. How can this feeling be comfortable?

However, Ye Qiu's possessiveness is not that strong. He can't be so stupid as to believe that he can make all the players loyal to Tottenham Hotspur. That's impossible. The most important thing for professional players is professional ethics. Fabregas and David Silva have done a good job in this regard.

Therefore, Ye Qiu feels that it is unnecessary to introduce Juan Mata. Instead, it is better to focus on cultivating Eden Hazard. At least the Belgian is still Tottenham Hotspur's own people.

Having won the Champions League for two consecutive seasons and the first Premier League championship in the club's history this season, Ye Qiu knows very well that many teams outside are now eyeing Tottenham Hotspur. This is also a part of his current concern, because he has to worry about when the opponent will come to dig his corner.

There is a saying that goes, don't worry about thieves stealing, just worry about thieves thinking about it.

"Wow, it's so comfortable!"

While Ye Qiu was thinking, Chen Zhong's voice, which was obviously full of envy and jealousy, came from behind.

Wearing a pair of sports shorts and bare-chested, Ye Qiu had no reservations. He was in his own home and there were no outsiders around. What was there to be afraid of? Besides, it was comfortable to wear like this.

"When did you come back?" Ye Qiu stood up from the beach chair, stretched lazily, and asked him to sit over at the gazebo in the garden. After all, no one wanted to chat under the scorching sun.

"The day before yesterday, I flew to Xiamen early this morning." Chen Zhong walked over with a smile and looked at Ye Qiu's muscles. "Wow, I really plan to get a brown tan." After saying that, he shamelessly patted his back as if he was picking pork in the market.

"Stop patting, muscles!" Ye Qiu smiled very proudly. Chen Zhong has gained a lot of weight over the years.

"Did you see Ah Chu?" Ye Qiu walked into the gazebo and asked casually.

Chen Zhong shook his head, "No, I heard from the servant that he took the children out to play."

The two sat down in the pavilion, where a set of red rosewood tea sets was placed. This was bought when Ye Qiu and Huang Chu got married. At that time, the price was cheap, so they bought two or three sets, including chairs, beds, wardrobes, etc. One of them was given by Chen Zhong, but now these things are very valuable. If they really want to sell them, I don’t know how many times the price will increase.

The prices of Ye Qiu’s houses in Xiamen and Shanghai have also soared.

"House prices in China have been rising steadily in recent years. The government has been saying that it will regulate. What are you going to do?" Ye Qiu began to boil water to make tea. The tea was Tieguanyin brought from Anxi, Quanzhou by someone. It was absolutely authentic and good tea, and it smelled fragrant.

"First-tier cities should not be able to drop, because now people are crowding into first-tier cities and the demand is too great. In addition, in cities like Xiamen, the rigid demand is still very large, and housing prices will definitely not be able to drop. The main bubbles are still in second-tier, third-tier cities or even below. , and in the past few years, we have mainly been in commercial real estate. The competition is not very big and the advantages are relatively obvious. After all, the country has been increasing domestic demand, and domestic demand must promote consumption, and consumption will drive commercial real estate.”

Ye Qiu had been reminded of this path. Moreover, as early as the beginning of the century, when land prices were not so high, Huangtian Group had already begun to acquire land in first- and second-tier cities. In those years, Huangtian Group's funds were relatively relatively high. Nervous, for this reason, he simply sold the country's leading shopping website to Ye Zi Technology.

However, over the years, low prices have soared, and Huangtian Group has benefited a lot from this, and the company's business has gradually spread overseas. Dubai alone has made Huangtian Group a huge profit.

"What do you think?" Chen Zhong knew Ye Qiu very well and admired him. He knew that Ye Qiu would not call him here for no reason. There must be something important to discuss.

"What I want to say is that national policies will definitely be introduced one after another in the next few years, and the real estate industry will be more and more difficult. Even for commercial real estate, you must be mentally prepared."

Chen Zhong still trusted Ye Qiu's vision. At least Ye Qiu told him that he could do real estate, which directly led to his most prosperous years after taking over the Huangtian Group. His own worth also skyrocketed and he became China's A well-known entrepreneur.

Now Ye Qiu told him that real estate will bid farewell to the rapid development period in the past. Chen Zhong also has a deep understanding of this, because in the past, more and more real estate companies began to invest in commercial real estate development, but many projects in Chen Zhong In Zhong's opinion, they should all be called junk real estate, because the most important thing about commercial real estate is location and business district.

Suppose you build hotels and shopping malls alone on the outskirts of the city, in areas where the flow of people is not strong at all. Who would go?

Of course, another possibility is to consider future urban planning, but location selection and supporting business districts are the key.

Huangtian Group has done quite well in this regard, because they have obtained a lot of land in ideal locations in their early years, and even now, they still have enough land in their hands to ensure their development in the next five years.

Even if the Huangtian Group stopped doing real estate and sold the land, they could make a lot of money from it.

"Commercial real estate can still be done. What I mean is to gradually get rid of dependence on real estate and transform!"

It is definitely a lie to say that the current Huangtian Group does not rely on real estate. Although hotels, retail and logistics are very profitable, Shunfeng Logistics is now the largest logistics company in the country and is even actively exploring the Asian market. , and even want to gradually target foreign countries.

But in general, the core business of Huangtian Group is still real estate, which has been determined by the company's operations in the past few years.

"Transformation?" Chen Zhong had thought about it, so he invested in hotels, continued to pay more attention to the retail and logistics industries, and at the same time actively cooperated with Yezi Technology to develop online and offline cooperation models. These were all achieved in 2008. It has been reflected in the Singles Shopping Festival and the progress is quite good, but further planning is needed.

"Yes, transformation!" Ye Qiu answered very firmly and forcefully.

In fact, Huangtian Group now not only has real estate, but its logistics, department store retail and hotel businesses are all very competitive in the market. Car sales are also a major profit point for the company, but Ye Qiu feels that this is not enough, because it can be done Better.

"As you know, we are cooperating with the XM Municipal Government to develop smart cities. We have initially reached an agreement to build a pilot traffic area in the XM city center by the end of the year."

Chen Zhong is also aware of the cooperation between Yezi Technology and the XM Municipal Government, but he does not know much about the specific cooperation projects.

"We will build an intelligent traffic control system for Xiamen. By burying sensors under the road and installing monitoring, we will collect information on all vehicles passing through the road, and transmit data on various aspects such as expected vehicle speed and load back to the control center. Then through system processing, the traffic lights at each intersection are commanded and controlled.”

"But this is just the beginning. Not only smart transportation, but also city services, such as garbage bins. We will also install sensors to monitor data to facilitate garbage stations to collect data and arrange garbage truck routes. This is an urban service, such as monitoring every day. The flow of people at a bus stop and establishing an intelligent bus dispatching system.”

"All in all, this is a very large and extremely cumbersome system. But once it is completed and perfected, it will effectively integrate the entire city's resources through the information system, including water, electricity, oil, gas, transportation, Medical care, public services, etc. are all connected in series to help cities and citizens effectively reduce consumption and living costs through effective detection, analysis and integration of various data.”

Chen Zhong was a little unfamiliar with what Ye Qiu said and was surprised when he heard it. However, he had also seen the world. He knew very well that in Japan and other European and American countries, these things had already begun, and some had even begun. Put into operation.

"What do you mean?"

“Transforming from a real estate developer to an urban supporting service provider, new smart urbanization will have great potential to be tapped in the future. The country has now listed the Internet of Things as one of the five new strategic industries. This is the future of Huangtian Group!”
