"Adding the establishment of the Huaihai Nanjing metropolitan area, strengthening the connections between Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, and needing direct subway access. It can be said that Gaohai Village is the best location for an automobile manufacturing plant base."
Ye Yun spoke fluently.
"But if you overreach and make Hengda bleed profusely, they can simply choose another location," Wu Xinmin said.
"Can they really?" Ye Yun asked meaningfully, "Land acquisition is for making money. Those people at Hengda have a weighing scale in their hearts!"
As he spoke, Ye Yun took out his phone, opened a map of the area near Gaohai Village, and explained.
"Gaohai Village is adjacent to the suburbs, and the surrounding areas are all farmland. Once Hengda decides to build its factory in Gaohai Village, it will mean tens of thousands of jobs. Mr. Wu, you know better than I do what this signifies."
Wu Xinmin's expression changed. With Ye Yun's words, he could roughly guess what Ye Yun intended to say next...
No!
It should be said, what the Hengda Group intended to do.
Ye Yun continued.
"Hengda is not stupid. A factory that provides tens of thousands of jobs, coupled with Hengda's desire to overtake others in the new energy vehicle industry, makes it unrealistic to train talent themselves. To get mature talent, they can only poach with high salaries, thus driving fierce competition in the new energy vehicle industry."
"You say, with so many job opportunities, would it be difficult for them to apply for some benefits, such as residential land in the surrounding areas?"
"A group of people with high salaries, if there are mature residential areas and commercial streets around the factory... what choices will they make?"
Ye Yun's explanation made Wu Xinmin and Old Wang's expressions even more solemn.
Hengda...
This game of chess was played extremely well!
If it weren't for Ye Yun, they would have easily acquired the land in Gaohai Village and immediately announced to the public that this was the site for Hengda's new energy vehicle project.
With tens of thousands of jobs and benefits, acquiring residential land would not be difficult.
And at that time, they would probably start building houses immediately.
Competition? Poaching with high salaries?
In the end, these people would still be making money for Hengda.
Indeed, as soon as the news broke, before the car factory was even built, Hengda would already be making money.
That's right, Jinling does have sites similar to Gaohai Village.
But those sites would not have a large amount of residential land around them!
This would be a chicken rib for Hengda!
Therefore, Hengda acquiring Gaohai Village, though seemingly coincidental, was actually inevitable!
"I've calculated that Hengda's peak valuation for the land in Gaohai Village should be around 800 million. I plan to bid 750 million. Even if there are some unforeseen issues, the probability of them agreeing in the end is still over 95%!"
Ye Yun said with confidence.
A gust of wind blew, and the tea room fell silent.
Quiet.
Very quiet.
As Ye Yun finished speaking.
Old Wang, Wu Xinmin, and Wang Wenwen were all stunned.
Hengda truly lived up to its reputation as a trillion-dollar group, with its far-reaching plans that were astonishing.
If it were as Ye Yun said, they could leverage the small plot of land in Gaohai Village to attract investment projects worth hundreds of billions.
This was a clear example of achieving great things with little effort.
And even more terrifying was Ye Yun!
He pieced together clues from various subtle hints to deduce Hengda's intentions.
Even!
He had made calculations and estimated Hengda Group's peak valuation for the land in Gaohai Village...
If everything he said was true.
This was no longer human, but divine!
Wu Xinmin adjusted his posture several times, staring intently at Ye Yun.
He had initially thought Ye Yun's interest was a whim.
But now, it seemed he had hooked a big fish!
No, not a big fish!
A whale!
If it were the Ye Yun of the past, he might have been uneasy in this situation.
But now, Ye Yun was carrying the wealth of a tycoon with hundreds of billions in assets from decades later.
Money breeds courage.
He had seen countless high-ranking officials and influential figures.
How could he lose his composure?
"Old Wang, Mr. Wu, are there any problems with what I said?"
Ye Yun looked directly at them, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Young friend Ye, every time I meet you, you surprise me..." Old Wang shook his head with a wry smile.
But he was fine, having witnessed Ye Yun's magic before.
"With just these words, and the judgments and intuition you've shown, there's no one I've met who can compare to you! Even Ma Ba Wan is far inferior, not even close!" Wu Xinmin did not spare his praise.
"Mr. Wu, you flatter me." Ye Yun smiled.
"It's not flattery, but genuine admiration!" Wu Xinmin clicked his tongue in amazement, "My teacher once told me that within a year, you would be renowned throughout China's business world. At the time, I felt he might have been exaggerating, but now, I think my teacher was being modest. With your abilities, that time might be very, very short."
"Alright, alright. Little Wu, when did you become so sentimental? We invited young friend Ye for tea today, let's chat over tea..." Old Wang teased.
"Haha, as the teacher says. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I tasted teacher's tea." Wu Xinmin chuckled heartily.
"It's because you've become too busy lately."
Admittedly, the tea from Old Wang's place was indeed excellent.
Many were private collections.
After everyone had a taste.
Wu Xinmin spoke again.
"Young friend Ye, your economic acumen exceeds my imagination. Whether it was Xiong'an County, Haixin Group, or the current matter of Gaohai Village, all attest to this point. Today, I'd like to seek your advice on how Jinling should proceed in the future."
"Mr. Wu, your request to seek advice is too much for me. Besides, I am just an ordinary citizen, how can I rashly speculate on Jinling's future path? The sky of Jinling is controlled by people like you, and at each stage, each path is analyzed by dedicated economic experts." Ye Yun smiled wryly.
Although he had the memories of the next forty years in his mind, he knew the future direction of Jinling better than anyone.
As an ancient capital of six dynasties, Jinling would eventually become China's fifth tier-one city, following Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.
Even as China's economy grew stronger, these five tier-one cities would become global economic hubs.
Countless domestic and international industry elites would flock to these five cities...
However, Ye Yun obviously could not and dared not say these things.
After all, if he leaked such information, it would not cause Wu Xinmin surprise, but alarm.
He might even be taken to a mysterious research institute for dissection and study.
It was a simple principle. If you traveled back to a feudal dynasty over a hundred years ago.
And you spoke of people flying in the sky today.
Traveling thousands of miles in hours.
Everyone having access to education, and every family having food to eat.
Women no longer having bound feet, no longer saying that ignorance is virtue for women, and could hold up half the sky.
Would anyone believe such things?
Would anyone dare to believe them?
They would likely be thrown into prison and beheaded immediately.
A similar principle applied now.
Even more exaggerated!
As technology advanced, the leap in technology over the next forty years would be more dramatic than in the preceding several hundred years!
China was a miraculous nation, and a great nation.
What they accomplished and researched would be considered divine miracles in the eyes of their predecessors!
Therefore, Ye Yun not only could not say, but also dared not say it!
