Chapter 1040 High-Rise Building (2)
How can I outdo Qi Tongwei?
It's impossible for the tallest building in the north to be enough to stop it; it would need to be at least the tallest building in the country, or even the tallest building in the world, to be more effective.
Li Yongbao guessed Xia Guanglei's thoughts and after considering it for a moment, said, "Secretary Xia, building the tallest building on the Han River or in the north is not difficult, but building the tallest building in the whole country might be a bit difficult."
In August of this year, the tallest building in my country broke the record with the Jinmao Tower in Shanghai, which has 88 floors and is 420 meters tall. To surpass them and cause a sensation throughout the country, we would need to build at least 100 floors.
Putting aside the difficulty of construction, the funding alone is no small sum.
The Jinmao Tower cost more than 5 billion yuan to build. If it were to be built to have 100 floors, it would cost at least 8 to 10 billion yuan.
Because the higher the building, the greater the cost and area of the foundation.
Xia Guanglei said calmly, "Of course I know that. You don't need to remind me. As for the technical aspects, I can invite experts in this field to provide guidance. The main problem now is funding."
Li Yongbao secretly groaned.
For the members of the Hanshan Club, big and small, coming up with 10 billion yuan wouldn't be difficult.
Take Linksys Group as an example; its market value is 20 billion yuan.
Market value is market value, but it doesn't mean you can actually come up with real money. If you have 20 billion in assets, it would be good if you could come up with 2 billion.
Besides, even if he could afford it, Liu Qizhi might not be willing to give it up.
The Hanshan Association is nothing more than an alliance in the form of mutual support, with a few hundred million to a few hundred million yuan being harmless. However, once its foundation is touched, it will only turn them into enemies.
“Secretary Xia, I will try my best. You know the actual situation of the Hanshan Association. These people are all businessmen. They won’t do anything without profit. They are unlikely to make a big bet easily…”
Xia Guanglei raised his hand to interrupt, saying, "We need to have a long-term vision. As long as Beishan develops, it will be easy to earn back the 10 or 20 billion yuan. I still maintain that today's investment will definitely be worthwhile."
Looking at the unwavering certainty in Xia Guanglei's eyes, Li Yongbao's mind raced, trying to find a way out of this stalemate.
The twilight outside the window deepened, and the Han River in the distance appeared and disappeared under the lights on the opposite bank, flowing slowly.
Li Yongbao suddenly clapped his hands, as if he had thought of something. "Secretary, I have an idea!"
"What method?" Xia Guanglei asked, casting his gaze at him.
“I was thinking, why don’t we try ‘phased construction’? First, build the main structure up to fifty stories, then lease or sell it. Once we’ve recouped some of the rental income and business revenue, we can continue building upwards. This way, we can control the initial investment and attract subsequent investment with the completed parts.”
Xia Guanglei was silent for a moment, then nodded. "That's a good idea."
In this way, you can tell the members of the Hanshan Club that this building is not only an investment, but also a "seat"—the first batch of companies that invest more than 500 million yuan can not only obtain the corresponding floor ownership, but also enter the "Beishan Development Advisory Committee" to participate in the decision-making of subsequent major regional projects.
In addition, the municipal government will provide priority support in terms of tax revenue and land use quotas.
Li Yongbao's eyes lit up. As expected of someone born into a prominent family, this "interest-binding" strategy was more effective than a simple financial promise. It not only gave businessmen tangible benefits but also empowered them to participate in development, turning "short-term investment" into "long-term binding."
He immediately nodded: "Okay! I'll go and communicate with Liu Qizhi and the others right away, and explain your ideas to them thoroughly. With the phased construction and the 'Advisory Committee' seats, I think they'll be more willing to place their bets."
Xia Guanglei stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the lights of the Han River in the distance: "Remember to tell them that once this building is built, it will not only be a landmark of the Han River, but also a 'calling card' for Beishan in the whole province and the whole country."
Qi Tongwei made Beishan famous with a car; we will use a more robust, solid, and popular building to make Beishan a calling card for China.
Li Yongbao also stood up, a surge of energy and a desire to surpass Qi Tongwei welling up in his chest: "Yes! Secretary Xia, I will refine the plan tomorrow."
As night fell, the shimmering light of the Han River shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the two of them, and the still-under-construction high-rise building seemed to rise slowly before their eyes.
