Chapter 369: Encounter on the roadside (fourth update, please subscribe)

What is the most profitable business?

But anyone who has experienced the era of big real estate in the 21st century knows that - real estate.

Li Yi'an, who once worked in the sales department, is naturally very aware of the huge profits from real estate. Even in this era, it is difficult to obtain huge profits from real estate in another world, but it does not prevent you from entering this industry. After all, this is a rising industry.

In fact, Li Yi'an had already entered the US market as early as last year - last year, after the air refueling company moved from New York to Nanyang, the airstrip and the nearby 7 square miles of land became a huge community.

At the peak of construction, a new home was built in the community every 16 minutes. A large number of non-union subcontractors and "unskilled" workers move from house to house, each of whom only needs to perform one of 26 highly specialized steps to complete the entire assembly process. They use prefabricated wooden houses imported directly from Nanyang and completely standardized materials purchased from manufacturers.

Houses that look almost identical, with only subtle differences in color, windows, rooflines, etc., have been dubbed "America's Finest Houses" from the day they were built. The house was initially sold for $7990, and only required a 5% down payment. Thanks to the support of the federal bill, veterans did not need to pay a down payment - which is essentially equivalent to a man buying a house without paying a down payment.

Such low-cost houses have been sought after by all walks of life as soon as they were launched, and their appearance has also changed the lives of Americans - 80% of the residents there work in Manhattan. Such changes have promoted the suburbanization of cities - people only come back to sleep after get off work.

Although those more than 17,000 houses brought tens of millions of dollars in profits, imitators sprung up all over the country. Although the market is very broad, due to various reasons, the current real estate market The company is just one of the players. For Li Yi'an, the biggest benefit may be the surge in exports of prefabricated wooden houses.

Although real estate companies are still building similar communities, profits are always limited. In this case, Li Yian needs new funding channels. His investment in the United States has always been the main support for his construction in Nanyang. One of the sources of funding. Even though Nanyang's early investment companies have begun to see initial benefits, they are still inseparable from external capital injections.

"Commercial real estate development!"

Li Yian looked at the land in front of him and said.

"In the future, we can focus on commercial real estate development in urban areas. The investment is high, but the return rate is also high, and this is also the trend of the future."

"what?"

Carl looked at Li Yi'an. It was the master in front of him who used 17,000 houses in the suburbs of Long Island to attract people to the suburbs.

"Sir, everyone is moving to the suburbs now. It is as easy for them to buy a house on Long Island as it is to rent a walk-up apartment in the city. Now the urban business districts are declining. In some places, land prices have dropped by 20%. about."

Karl's reminder made Li Yian smile.

“That’s now, when suburban life is attracting a generation out of the city. Their children are growing up in those safe, innovative, and sometimes a little alienating environments, and the next generation they’re raising is starting to move back into the city—in the city There will be more job opportunities and more entertainment. Of course, they will eventually return to the suburbs when they get married, just like a cycle. What we need is to take advantage of the falling land prices to acquire some land in advance. Conducting a ministry, just like..."

Pointing to the land in front of him, Li Yian said with a slight smile.

"Just like here, with an investment of 30 million, the land price has tripled. If commercial development is carried out, the profit will exceed 200 million US dollars. Such a return on investment is still very impressive!"

The rate of return is like robbery, how can it not be exciting!

Although not every investment will be promoted by the United Nations Building, taking advantage of the wave of urban suburbs and the underestimation of commercial real estate in urban areas, making appropriate investments will undoubtedly yield extremely generous returns.

This kind of return is sustainable and can continuously bring cash flow, and this is exactly what Borneo needs. In the past few years, Nanyang has no shortage of hard goods, not the recent ones brought back by Li Yi'an from Germany. Thousands of tons of gold, but relying on huge profits in the U.S. black market and business investment-during the war, Li Yian invested in a large number of undervalued companies-consumer companies.

With the end of the war, and as the consumer market recovered, assets that had been undervalued by the war regained their value, and those investments now bring in more than $2 million annually. These steady infusions of funds are the boosters for Nanyang’s economic take-off.

"Business itself is about buying at low prices and selling at high prices. The current opportunity...is just right."

Looking at Karl, who had not yet realized the key, Li Yian smiled.

"You can learn slowly and practice your skills here first. Now the whole world is worried about whether Berlin will trigger World War III. The market fluctuations are the time for us to buy."

In fact, you can also go to Berlin to practice. Commercial real estate in West Berlin should be very cheap now. No matter how much high-quality assets are acquired, it will never feel like too much. World War III!

Looking at Li Yian, who was full of confidence and extremely calm, Karl asked.

"You don't seem to be worried about a world war at all. It's written in the newspapers that the president is considering using the atomic bomb."

Karl's question made Li Yian smile, stand up, and said as he walked towards the car.

"It's just unfounded worries. There is no way to start a world war!"

Li Yi'an's confidence stems from his understanding of the general trend of the world. Just as the newspaper said-Truman planned to use the atomic bomb, and when he was in Washington, Truman also said that he prayed to God that he would not need to make this decision, but he would if necessary. Make decisions without hesitation.

That guy Truman, even though he only had a high school degree and never went to college, he never hesitated when he needed to make a decision.

Li Yian knew all this, and so did his loving father in Moscow. When the car was driving along Roosevelt Avenue, there were low and dilapidated buildings everywhere on both sides of Roosevelt Avenue, including slaughterhouses, warehouses, light factories... This was a slum near the port. On the road where cars came and went, everywhere It's all dust, but soon, within a few years at most, this place will become one of the most prosperous areas in Manhattan.

"That boy Rockefeller knows how to do business..."

While feeling emotional, Li Yi'an once again considered in his mind whether to invite American plutocrats such as Morgan and Rockefeller. In fact, Li Yi'an was very cautious in his contacts with them. As early as the war, he had seen how they plundered Europe. Wealth, if you find them now... why don't you bring it to your doorstep and let them gnaw on their bones?

Now for Borneo, it is the last word to make a fortune silently and develop yourself first when no one is paying attention.

"The key is to strengthen yourself..."

The car stopped at the traffic light at the intersection, and his eyes fell out of the window. A graceful figure on the roadside came into his sight, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

What a fine waist!

The tall and slender figure made people couldn't help but take a few more glances. When the woman turned her face, what came into view was a woman with a tightly closed mouth. Although she was not smiling, she exuded a unique aura.

"Kind of like a model..."

The unique aura displayed by the woman made Li Yian subconsciously think of the supermodels that are common in later generations. This woman not only has a waist, but her body also explains that the sea is all water, and the supermodels are all legs. Thinking of the several women's clothing brands currently being built in Borneo's textile industry.

It seems that this woman is a very good spokesperson.

After thinking about it, Li Yian gave instructions to the co-pilot's secretary.

"Secretary Lin, have you seen that woman on the roadside? Do some research and see if you can get her signed by a clothing company. She should be a very good model."

In fact, he didn't need to ask about such a trivial matter at all. But occasionally I will have a whim.

But an occasional whim may very well change a person's destiny.

Soon a European female bodyguard got out of another car and followed the girl quietly...
