#407 - Chapter 407: He has the final say on the land in Shanghai! You call 140 billion "only le
Secretary Huang beamed with joy.
This wasn't flattery.
Despite knowing Chen Hao's extraordinary status, he would never dare to flatter him in such a public setting – exposing Chen Hao's identity would lead to a military court!
He was genuinely happy, regardless of Chen Hao's status!
Chen Hao has numerous industries under his name, with the highest proportion located in Shanghai.
Investment.
Building factories.
Providing a large number of job opportunities, which corresponds to boosting GDP.
Real achievements!
That's right!
Earlier, Chen Hao called, saying he had a new business venture ready to settle in Shanghai.
Therefore, he personally came forward.
"Secretary Huang… Secretary Huang?!" Liu Qiangdong's eyes widened.
Shanghai is a municipality directly under the central government!
Need I even mention Secretary Huang's status?
Why would he personally come here?
"Secretary Huang, hello."
Concealing his identity to avoid exposure, Chen Hao greeted him with a smile, extending both hands: "Thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to guide our work. I'm truly sorry… It's just that I urgently need a result on my end."
"Little Chen, you have made outstanding contributions to our Shanghai economy."
Secretary Huang smiled reassuringly: "Let me put it this way! As long as it can boost the economy, I'll be there whenever you call!"
See!
How approachable is Secretary Huang in order to develop the local economy?
In reality…
Secretary Huang secretly smiled wryly: I had no choice but to call him Little Chen. You won't hold it against me later, will you?
"Secretary Huang, this is the Chairman of Jingdong, Mr. Liu Qiangdong.", Chen Hao pointed to Liu Qiangdong.
"Hello, Secretary Huang!"
Liu Qiangdong rushed forward, taking two steps at a time.
Extending both hands.
His face filled with trepidation.
"Little Liu, I've heard of you. Are you planning to… invest in Shanghai?" Secretary Huang asked with a smile.
"This… Secretary Huang, it hasn't been decided yet."
Liu Qiangdong didn't dare to agree, explaining with a smile: "There were some problems encountered in the actual operation, so…"
"Problems?"
Secretary Huang waved his hand: "As long as you invest in Shanghai, I represent the city in extending a warm welcome. Whatever problems you encounter can be negotiated and resolved!"
Liu Qiangdong was immediately overjoyed.
He wasn't stupid.
How could he not see that Chen Hao had connections?
He even invited Secretary Huang!
Then, Chen Hao's casual remark about giving him 100 acres of land was probably not just bragging!
Furthermore.
What about Shanghai?
China's largest established economic city!
"Get land?"
Secretary Huang's expression froze: "This… I'm afraid I can't approve that."
What?!
Liu Qiangdong was completely stunned.
Chairman Chen made a phone call, and Secretary Huang came personally. Before, he thought Chen Hao's offer of 100 acres was crazy, but Secretary Huang's appearance immediately changed his mind.
But now…
Can't approve the land?!
"Secretary Huang, this…" Liu Qiangdong was confused.
If you can't approve the land, why are you here?
"The land in Shanghai is all under Chairman Chen's company name. It belongs to Hanteng Capital for 70 years. How can I approve it for you?" Secretary Huang said with a wry smile.
Huh?!
Liu Qiangdong thought he was hallucinating.
"Secretary Huang, I don't understand what you're saying," he asked blankly.
"You don't know?"
Secretary Huang smiled: "Chairman Chen spent 1 trillion to buy the main urban area of Shanghai – he has the final say on Shanghai's land."
Pfft…
Liu Qiangdong almost spat blood on the spot.
1 trillion!
Bought the entire Shanghai!
He looked at Chen Hao with an almost collapsed expression.
Crazy…
Really crazy!
He had heard of developers buying land, but he bought China's largest city… the whole thing?!
1 trillion!
An unimaginable astronomical figure!
"If Chairman Liu thinks this piece of land in Pudong is not good, shall we change to another one?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.
"Chairman Chen… really won't interfere with operations?"
"No."
"When do we sign the contract?"
Liu Qiangdong's eyes lit up: "According to the shares you said, welcome to invest in Jingdong!"
More than just a thigh to hold on to?
It's simply a pillar of support!
He knew very well the reason why Chen Hao was supporting Jingdong: someone didn't appreciate his kindness and was blacklisted by Chen Hao.
With Chen Hao's financial resources and vision, he didn't have to choose Jingdong.
The other party would use his capital and land resources to either support another company or simply do it himself.
In short.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
…
Returning to Hanteng Capital!
In-depth consultations were held on the equity investment, and a sufficiently detailed contract was drafted.
Conference room.
"Chairman Chen."
Liu Qiangdong said with some worry: "Establishing warehousing parks simultaneously in all municipalities and provincial capitals will require an astonishing amount of engineering and the stored goods…"
"I personally believe that to overtake Taobao, a lot of funding will be required."
This was not a private meeting.
Hanteng Capital's core team had arrived, ready to sign an agreement on financing and equity investment.
"Chairman, there is not much money left in the account," Li Ju quickly reminded.
"How much is left?" Chen Hao asked.
He hadn't carefully calculated the accounts.
He only knew that at the peak, there were more than 700 billion in the account.
But!
There had been a series of large expenditures later.
Among them, the initial payment for the power grid transformation alone reached an astonishing 300 billion!
He also donated 31 large destroyers.
93 billion!
"Including the money earned recently, there is only a little over 140 billion left," Li Ju said helplessly.
Seven or eight hundred billion at its peak!
In the blink of an eye, only this little bit was left…
What a sin!
"How… how much?!" Liu Qiangdong thought he had misheard.
You call 140 billion in cash flow 'only left'?
Why don't you just go to heaven?!
Chen Hao was startled in his heart.
Not good!
In about a day or two, he wouldn't have to continue working in the office. The remaining optimizations for the aircraft carrier should be completed in more than a month.
By then.
The construction of three nuclear-powered aircraft carriers would require a large amount of investment.
The fourth-generation nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with 140,000 tons.
The cost is high!
An aircraft carrier is not just a ship, but also a large number of carrier-based aircraft, okay?
It's all money!
Let me put it this way.
The cost of the new aircraft carrier itself, according to 2001 price levels, would be at least 30 billion to start.
Given the displacement of this aircraft carrier, equipping it with various carrier-based aircraft…
It will take no less than 60 billion!
Three ships…
A little less than 200 billion!
There is currently a little over 140 billion in the account.
Admittedly, it won't be too long before MPVs and luxury SUVs are also auctioned off by car companies.
It's just that…
The market audience is relatively small, and the auction price will not be too high.
Estimated to be around 20 billion US dollars.
Of course!
Adding it all together is enough to build an aircraft carrier.
But the company's account must keep more money, right?
Fatty is continuing to acquire mines and needs money.
The power grid transformation will need money later.
That's right!
China Tower has only given the initial payment, and the follow-up will also need money.
Must find a way to get more money!
"How much money does Chairman Liu need?" Putting away his thoughts, Chen Hao asked with a smile.
"This…"
Liu Qiangdong felt like a pauper: "5 billion?"
"No problem."
Chen Hao got up: "Since the financing amount has been agreed upon, Chairman Liu, please continue to connect with General Xia for the follow-up process. I have something to do and will leave first."
"Chairman Chen, wait a minute!" Xia Qingyan stood up.
"What's wrong?"
"There are some things… I'll tell you later."
Suddenly!
Just as she finished speaking, Chen Hao's phone rang.
Looking at the number, he immediately answered: "Old Huang… good! I'll be right over!"
Old Huang?
Liu Qiangdong thought it referred to Secretary Huang.
Xia Qingyan knew that Chen Hao was not leaving the company, but was going to Building B.
There were a lot of big shots in Building B, she didn't know the specific work, and even she couldn't enter.
