a long time.
Zhu Zheng turned around: "2014 will be the year of the rise of the engineering department. At the end of this year, some of the properties of our Heilong Group will be launched. Whether we can reach the peak again depends on this."
real estate!
Especially for large-scale cluster real estate projects like this, early reputation is extremely important. A bad reputation will affect sales. Moreover, their upfront costs are too high. Not only are the land auction costs much higher, but their construction costs are also much higher than other real estate projects! In fact, they are a bit outrageous!
Qin Jiang has extremely strict requirements for Heilong Real Estate's construction. Not only do all departments have to pass the inspection, but an internal inspection department has also been established, which is directly managed by the group! The only achievement of this department is to cause trouble for the construction department. Finding trouble will lead to promotion and salary increase. Therefore, the inspection department is a bit too harsh, causing the construction department a lot of suffering and creating some unfriendly problems.
There are drawbacks to doing this!
Inspection departments can sometimes be overly critical of achievements, but compared to the significant improvement in housing quality they bring, it's nothing.
Of course, doing so also significantly increases the cost.
In addition, Qinjiang is building a new generation of housing, which requires fully furnished apartments and trendy designs such as spacious living rooms, which has significantly increased costs.
besides...
Heilong Group spends a large amount of money on loans, and the annual interest on these loans is astronomical. This means that in order to make money, Heilong will set higher prices for its various real estate projects.
High price!
Trendy design!
Fully furnished!
...
Whether anyone will buy these items together remains to be seen. If someone does, that's one thing, but if no one appreciates this trendy design and wants to quickly recoup their investment, they'll have to lower the price and sell it.
By then, it will be easy to lose money, let alone make money!
besides...
If the first batch of Heilong Real Estate projects fail to make money, other Heilong Real Estate projects will face difficulties. Don't forget that they also have external competitors. Although Fangshan may seem to be able to crush them, if they really seize the opportunity, they will definitely launch a fatal blow against Heilong.
These are all things that Zhu Zheng has been thinking about recently.
Qin Jiang's expression remained calm and confident:
"Heilong's real estate...can only win, it can never lose!"
nonsense!
2014 to 2018!
These past few years have been the last glimmer of hope for the real estate market, especially for the three northern provinces, which have seen prices double.
His innovative designs, community garden designs, and fully furnished apartments have been highly recognized by the market.
One generation plants the trees, another enjoys the shade!
His real estate project was a winning hand; he could have easily defeated Qin Jiang by throwing his head into the Songjiang River.
Seeing Jiang Ge's confidence, Zhu Zheng felt relieved.
Zhu Zheng: "Brother Jiang! I'm applying to a few finance master's programs at Songda University and Imperial University. I'll be going to study there next year." Clearly, he's been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately.
The Black Dragon Group expanded at an alarming rate, reaching a new level every year. Although he was very smart, the pressure sometimes made him feel tired. Seeing his brother Jiang handling things with ease, he worried that he would be a burden to Jiang. Therefore, he enrolled in many classes to improve himself so that he would not be a hindrance.
Qin Jiang: "Ah Zheng! Sometimes you just overthink things. The fact that a college graduate can manage a company that started from scratch so well in just a few years is enough to prove your ability."
"What do you lack? Is the knowledge in books useless to you? If you want to learn, you can attend some exchange meetings and learn more about the development paths of companies around the world. Your keen business sense is not bad. The only thing you lack is a forward-looking and strategic perspective. Of course, this kind of forward-looking and strategic perspective comes from accumulation over time, from experience, from knowledge, not from books!"
Don't put so much pressure on yourself...
"The Black Dragon Group was built by our own hands, and it has now grown into a giant ship. Even if there are occasional mistakes, it is just a deviation from the course. As long as the foundation is not lost and it does not crash into a mountain, it will not sink."
Zhu Zheng: "I understand!"
To put it bluntly, Heilong Group already has the cost of trial and error, so their pressure isn't actually that great.
Even if Heilong Group's real estate projects fail, at worst it will only suffer minor damage and not completely collapse.
Qin Jiang: "Good that you understand!"
Zhu Zheng is very smart! Even smarter than him. In his previous life, many classic business ideas came from Zhu Zheng.
pity....
In my previous life, I took the wrong path from the bottom, and there was no turning back.
In this life, Qin Jiang has successfully transformed his career and, with his decades of experience in rebirth, has rapidly built the Heilong Group to its current state. He is confident that the real estate project and several key future projects of Heilong will be successful, and that the Heilong Group will eventually reach a scale of trillions.
Trillions!
What does that mean?
It will stand firmly at the pinnacle of the business world!
By then:
Even if Qin Jiang lacks foresight, and even if Qin Jiang cannot guarantee that any project will be 100% profitable.
However, it has become less important, allowing the Black Dragon Group to completely break away from its original accumulation and become a behemoth.
If there's a good project, we'll do it!
If you do a good job, there's no need to say anything.
If you can't do a good job, you can simply acquire those that are doing well and then invest heavily in some newly emerging projects.
Whether such a Black Dragon Group can reach the very top is uncertain, but it can certainly maintain its position in the top tier.
Completely become:
Too big to fail!
...
Half an hour later.
Zhu Zheng also left to go home for the Chinese New Year!
The next day.
The Spring Festival of 2014!
Qin's parents, Qin Jiang, Si Jiu, and Bai Lu sat together for New Year's Eve dinner. (Bai Lu doesn't go home for the New Year, and Qin Jiang couldn't let her spend it alone, so she spent it at Qin Jiang's villa.)
Qin Jiang: "Dad! Hasn't Grandpa come back yet?"
Qin's father: "Yes! I heard that we have already connected with our ancestral home in Shancheng and are preparing for the matter of recognizing our ancestors and returning to our clan."
Qin Jiang was speechless: "What's there to recognize..."
Qin's father said, "Your grandfather grew up over there, so he still has some feelings for his clan there. Besides, as he got older, he probably wanted to return to his roots."
Qin Jiang: "Alright!"
He couldn't be bothered to pay attention to it. Clan! In Qin Jiang's opinion, it was nothing special. Especially since his generation had long since become completely part of the northern province, he naturally had no feelings about the clans in the mountainous city of the mountain province.
Besides, if he remembered correctly, his grandfather fled to the northern province because his family had abandoned him. A few years ago when he was young, his grandfather had gone back, but what happened? They completely ignored him.
Why are we able to get on board now?
Even a fool could figure out why.
He shook his head.
Qin Jiang raised his glass without thinking too much and said:
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year! May you all be free from illness and disaster! Happy New Year!
Bang!
Five people raise their glasses:
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!"
