Chapter 425: Land Acquisition

'Hey, top student!'

Tang Yan smiled slightly at the praise, but her gaze lingered on one of the women among the group of women accompanying the drinking. 'I don't deserve such praise, just lucky, I got in!'

'Don't be modest. When I took the college entrance exam, I got every multiple-choice math question right, and I didn't get into Peking University either.'

'Right, and then you went across the street.'

Han Songlin teased, 'If we're going to compare our academic qualifications, do I have to go outside? You guys tell me, aren't you annoying? Can't you see that I'm standing here, someone who even graduated from high school!'

Comparing academic qualifications, I hate it!

No, I'm not afraid of comparing academic qualifications, what's annoying is comparing schools.

'Haha, Han Ge, we really can't compare with you here. I can tell you, Han Ge is a war hero, invincible on the battlefield, a character like Guan Yu or Lu Bu!'

Han Songlin patted Jiang Wenbin on the shoulder and laughed, 'I didn't know you were talking about me. Alright, stop bragging here!'

Han Songlin looked at a group of girls and took a good look at them, all of them were quite pretty!

One girl was lowering her head for some reason.

Han Songlin sat down where Jiang Wenbin had been sitting earlier, and Jiang Wenbin waved his hand, indicating that all the idle people should go out.

The girls didn't say a word either, and they all left obediently.

Inside this club, there are often business meetings or some more private meetings and the like.

So, to work here, you have to have discernment.

'Han Ge, there's something I want to ask you for help with!'

Han Songlin raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself, 'Sure enough, there's something up when we meet!'

As for whether it's good or bad, he couldn't be sure.

'Tell me, if I can do it, I'll definitely help!' Han Songlin was never the type of person to make empty promises.

If he could do it, it would be nice to help you out and get a personal favour.

If he couldn't do it, then he could only say sorry.

Jiang Wenbin glanced at Zhou Zihao, looking quite embarrassed: 'It's like this, the Rat took a piece of land outside the South Third Ring Road.'

Outside the Third Ring Road?

In the current capital, the Fourth Ring Road has not yet been built, and as for the Fifth and Sixth Ring Roads, they are not even a distant prospect.

'It's a good thing to take a piece of land! If you sell it or build a building on it, won't the money just roll in?' Han Songlin was very puzzled as to what Jiang Wenbin was really struggling with.

Jiang Wenbin gave a bitter smile, looked at Zhou Zihao, and said with some anger, 'Han, if it were really as simple as you say, that would be great!'

'What, that land, was it originally a mass grave?'

What's there to be afraid of with a mass grave?

People are buried under that piece of land!

Emperors, kings, generals, nobles, and princes, it's just normal.

'Well, there aren't any. It's like this: when the rat took the land, he saw that it was cheap and large, so he just took it. Now there's a problem: the plot is indeed very large, but it's in a very remote location!'

'Now there's a road going there, but nothing else. It's very embarrassing now: we want to sell the land, but no one wants to take it over. If we develop it ourselves, we don't have the resources.'

Han Songlin: 'So you want me to take it over?'

At this time, Jingcheng was not developing southwards, but northwards.

It was not until the next century that Jingcheng would head south, and head south all the way.

Jiang Wenbin hurriedly said, 'Han Ge, what we mean is to see if you have any use for this land. If it is useful, you can take it and use it; if it is not useful, we will keep it for ourselves and slowly figure it out.'

Jiang Wenbin did not want to spoil his relationship with Han Songlin.

'What is the area?'

'About 300 mu!'

'300 mu is a bit small.' Han Songlin really needed to acquire land in the capital, but of course not for real estate.

The capital was the centre of culture, technology, politics, and the economy of the country; there were simply too many scientific and technological talents in the capital.

Moreover, the country's talents were all converging on the capital.

So, should Xingchenyuan set up a branch in the capital?

Of course it should!

And it must be a big branch.

In addition to research and development institutions, all kinds of living facilities and the like must also be fully equipped.

It doesn't matter if it's a bit out of the way, as long as it's a big place.

Han Songlin actually hopes it's a bit out of the way. In ten years' time, as long as it's within the city limits, it won't be out of the way anymore!

There are many people who work in the capital and have their homes outside of it, and they just take the high-speed train to work!

When I was at school, my teacher gave the example of how well-developed air traffic was in Europe.

You are in the country of the shovel, working in Gallic chicken, commuting across the border to work every day.

It sounds really surprising, and you can't help but sigh, people have such a romantic job, and they are really well developed!

But when this kind of cross-city commuting to work really appears in China, then you will understand; everyone wants to have a place to live closer to work, but it requires too high a cost, and they really can't afford it.

Commuting across regions and cities is not a symbol of convenient transportation; it is purely the helplessness and hardship of life.

A bit small?

Zhou Zihao heard that Han Songlin was willing to take over the business!

'Han Ge, when you think the area is small, the surrounding area of this land has not been sold, and it is very easy to take it over,' Zhou Zihao left out the part that as long as you have money, everything is okay.

At the moment, the capital city has not imposed any restrictions on land supply or the like.

At this time, the country of China had not yet implemented such restrictions on land supply.

The city was eager to sell the land and exchange it for money to improve other aspects.

There were so many places where money was needed for development.

'Tomorrow, let's go and look at the place together. However, there is one thing I need to make clear. Right now, this land is worthless, but in a few years, or even ten years, it will be very valuable. Don't think you're selling at a loss!'

'Han, don't worry. Everyone knows that this land will definitely be worth a lot in the future, but we can't wait for the future, we need money now.'

Han Songlin laughed a little, remembering an online anecdote about a man who sold his Beijing home in order to go to the United States, and after struggling there for many years, returned home.

Then he discovered that the money he had earned after struggling for so many years was only enough to buy the home he had sold.

Doesn't that mean that all those years of hard work were for nothing?

He went to the United States to make money, to make big money, otherwise why would anyone leave their home country?

Now that this situation has arisen, it is nothing but a great mockery.

Han Songlin: 'Fine, that's perfect, I also need to get land in the capital.'

After the matter was settled, Zhou Zihao wanted to call the girls back and have a good time.

But Jiang Wenbin refused.

No wonder Zhou Zihao doesn't have a girlfriend. He can see Tang Yan here now.

He has to pretend.

Anyway, does Zhou Zihao need a girlfriend?

No! He can still be a groom every night.
