Back to 80: My literary life.

Chapter 574: The Game of Passing the Flower
Zhao Hongjun's residence is a three-bedroom, two-living-room house with luxurious decoration.

After sitting for a while, the two left and returned to Wanghai Tower. Zhao Hongjun wanted to welcome Fang Minghua.

Of course, there are not only the two of them, but also several managers from Shengshi Books, Shu Bin, Dai Jiali and Jin Hai.

Several people ate and chatted about the current development trend of Shengshi Books. Since Shu Bin took over, more than 20 sets of books of different types have been published.

In addition to popular novels such as "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "The Housewife" series, it also published serious literature such as "Skywalker", "Fragments of Civilization", "Selected Short and Medium-length Poems of Haizi", "The Tide of Youth", etc. It also published "A Different Interpretation of the Analects", "What Lao Tzu Said", etc., and recently introduced the Japanese "Dragon Ball" comic book, which was very popular among readers.

They also talked about the ongoing World Chinese Literature Award. Shu Bin smiled and said, "Minghua, do you think there are any suitable novels that have not been published in China? Try to get them to Shengshi Books for publication."

"That's fine, but you'll have to talk to the author then."

"OK, no problem."

Everyone was chatting and laughing, but no one asked Fang Minghua why he suddenly came to Haikou.

In fact, everyone knows that it was Zhao Hongjun's plan to speculate in real estate in Hainan.

All three of them are senior leaders of Shengshi Group, but they have no say in matters involving capital investment.

Although the company treated them quite well, for example, Shu Bin received an annual salary of 80,000 yuan not including bonuses. The company bought him a house in Haikou, and his wife and children now moved here. The company also provided him with a Santana in the name of the company.

But they also know in their hearts that he is just a senior worker, and the two people in the upper seat are the ones who control the fate of the entire group.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Hongjun suggested going to the karaoke bar downstairs to sing, but was politely declined by Fang Minghua.

We haven’t talked about the serious business yet, what song should we sing?

After Shu Bin and the others went home, Fang Minghua and Zhao Hongjun went upstairs to their room, took out the Longjing tea they brought with them, made two cups of tea, and asked Zhao Hongjun about his real estate business.

"Tangtang called from New York specifically to talk about this, saying that you were planning to withdraw most of the group's funds. What's going on?"

"Hehe, I knew you were here to call me to task." Zhao Hongjun chuckled and took out a red-headed document from his black briefcase and handed it to Fang Minghua.

"Look at this"

It is the "Opinions on Comprehensively Promoting Urban Housing System Reform" proposed by the Housing System Reform Leading Group approved by the state!
Fang Minghua glanced through it.

The document defines the overall goal, phased goals and basic principles of the reform of the urban housing system, and makes specific provisions on policy issues such as rent increases and subsidies, house sales, new houses and new systems, housing funds, housing finance, housing investment and construction systems, housing management, housing ownership, real estate markets, relationships between verticals and horizontals, and exemptions and subsidies in housing reform.

"Hongjun, are you going to put all the company's funds into it based on this red-headed document?" Fang Minghua asked deliberately.

"Of course not! Let me see another document!" Zhao Hongjun said and took out another document and handed it to Fang Minghua.

“This is an internal document I obtained from a director of the Provincial Planning Commission whom I know.

"Look at how many state-owned enterprises and central enterprises have registered real estate companies in Haikou! This does not include a large number of private enterprises!"

Fang Minghua looked at it.

Luneng Group, HNA Group, China Shipping Group...all are state-owned enterprises!
"In addition, there is a document from the bank that shows that the real estate loans of banks in Haikou have soared by 50% in one month!"

"Also, according to the data from the Construction Bureau, the average price of commercial housing in Haikou in 88 was 1350 yuan per square meter, and it has remained basically unchanged for the past three years. But in November this year, housing prices suddenly began to rise and are now 11 yuan per square meter." "What does this show? It shows that a large amount of money has poured into Hainan to invest in real estate!"

Fang Minghua nodded.

It seems that Zhao Hongjun has done a lot of homework and is not just blindly following what others say.

"Minghua, you also saw it in the car today. Do you feel that there are many more buildings in Haikou this time than the last time?" Zhao Hongjun asked finally.

“Yes, I feel that Haikou is about to become a huge construction site,” Fang Minghua said with a smile.

"These are all started or newly built in the past two or three months! What do you think, should we join in the fun?" Zhao Hongjun asked slowly as he lit a cigarette.

Fang Minghua did not answer directly but asked: "Hongjun, Haikou is a city with a population of only one million. So many companies are investing in real estate and building so many houses. Who will they sell them to in the end?"

Zhao Hongjun crossed his legs and smiled: "If you can't sell it, just leave it there. Whoever can't sell it in the end will be unlucky. I remember when I was a kid, I went to kindergarten in the government compound."

Zhao Hongjun suddenly started telling a story.

"At that time, kindergartens liked to play a game called passing the flower. A dozen children sat on small stools in a circle. The teacher beat a small drum, and everyone took a small red flower and threw it into the arms of the child behind them. When the drum stopped, the child whose arms the red flower was in stood up and performed a show for everyone as a small punishment. In fact, now that everyone is flocking to Haikou and working hard to repair their houses and tossing things around, isn't it just playing the game of passing the flower?"

Fang Minghua smiled.

"Red Army, how can you guarantee that the little red flower won't fall into your hands at the end of this game?"

"First, don't be greedy! Stop when you're ahead!"

"Second, you!"

"I?"

"You have a very good vision and are very accurate in seeing things. When are you going to stop? Just tell me when the time comes, okay?" Zhao Hongjun said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Ah?
"Okay, okay, then go ahead and do it."

"Haha, I knew you would agree with me. Let's go check out the land I like tomorrow."

The next morning, Fang Minghua went downstairs to the restaurant to have breakfast. Not long after, Zhao Hongjun drove to Wanghai Tower, but this time there was one more person: Jin Hai.

"Minghua, I plan to set up Shengshi Real Estate Development Company in Haikou. I will be the general manager myself and transfer Jin Hai from Shengshi Bookstore to be the deputy general manager." Zhao Hongjun explained: "He is smart and good at dealing with government agencies. He is from Xijing and knows everything about me. More importantly, he can drink!"

After hearing this, Jin Hai quickly said modestly: "Mr. Zhao, I can't compare with Chairman Fang in terms of drinking capacity. Chairman Fang is famous for his drinking capacity."

"Hey, he can't do it anymore, his wife is too strict!"

The three of them went downstairs and Jin Hai drove north.

After crossing the Renmin Bridge, you will reach Haidian Island. Going north along Renmin Road, you will enter the suburbs. Fang Minghua is sitting in the car and looking out the window. Large tracts of farmland are beginning to appear on both sides of the road. Although it is winter now, the fields are planted with rice and are lush green. However, several of them have become construction sites.
