Chapter 253 Shameless
Su Yang also quickly shook hands with Zhong Liang, with a smile on his face.
"President Zhong's last name is Zhong, and your last name is also Zhong. What a coincidence."
Zhong Liang waved his hand and said, "Boss Su, don't talk nonsense. President Zhong and I are just a coincidence. He is from Beijing and I am from Jiangcheng. We are not from the same family."
Su Yang laughed: "Okay, okay, I know Director Zhong is a capable person. The meeting is about to start. Shall we go in first?"
Zhong Liang nodded. Before coming, Zhong Ruoting had explained in detail that there must be no mistakes in this business. After all, Su Yang came with Jiang Mingfeng's approval. Besides, he vaguely heard that Zhong Ruoting was able to fill the hole of more than 1 billion in the fourth quarter, seemingly relying on Su Yang.
The entire bank can pay out bonuses this year, all thanks to Su Yang.
Not to mention, Su Yang himself borrowed so much money, he could be considered a big customer...
If there was no approval from Jiang Mingfeng, he would have just done his job impartially, but with the approval, Su Yang was still able to find Jiangcheng Bank, which showed that the banker was a nostalgic person, and such a big customer must be maintained well.
He must not show any displeasure. If Su Yang ran away, he would not even have time to cry.
Not to mention that Zhong Ruoting was sitting there, so no matter who he offended, he would not dare to offend Su Yang.
Normally, these real estate developers were respectful to him in order to get loans, but today he changed his nature and was respectful to Su Yang.
However, Zhong Liang did not have any psychological burden.
Isn't this how life is? If you stand up straight and act like a human being in front of some people, you will inevitably bend down and act like a dog in front of others...
"Boss Su, you go first. I'll drive the car in. We'll meet at the venue!"
Zhong Liang got in the car.
Su Yang also nodded, got on his old Volkswagen, and drove directly to Xijiang Hotel. When he arrived at the gate, he was stopped by the security guard. He handed over his documents and pass. The old man on guard looked Su Yang up and down carefully, over and over again.
As for the cars in front, he just took a quick glance and put them in.
After arriving at Su Yang's place and struggling for more than a minute, he still had some doubts...
The truth is that he has been the doorman at Xijiang Hotel for so many years, and Su Yang is the first one who drove a broken Volkswagen to participate in the bidding.
People don't say it's a Rolls-Royce, Bentley, or Ferrari, because that would be a bit exaggerated, but at least he should drive one of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Audi. Even if he doesn't have any of these three, someone as pragmatic as Zhong Liang can drive a Toyota, Honda, or even a Hyundai.
But Su Yang's broken car is obviously a second-hand car. It is probably quite old and is almost the same as the taxis on the road.
There were three or four cars stuck in traffic behind, and honking horns could be heard from time to time.
"Master, how is it going?"
The security guard hesitated for a long time, but finally waved his hand and lifted the pole.
Su Yang released the brake, stepped on the gas, and rushed in. This broken car really needs to be replaced. Except for the horn that doesn't work, everything else makes noise. It was in good condition when he bought it some days ago, but ever since the last bumpy ride, the car has been getting worse day by day.
After parking the car, when Su Yang turned around, Zhong Liang was gone.
He didn't care, and guessed that Zhong Liang went in first.
The entire Xijiang Hotel is designed as a courtyard. There are not too many guest rooms or meeting halls. Instead, a large area is covered by ponds, attics, and garden landscapes.
This was the former site of the Dongjiang Province Administrative Office in the early years. As you walk through it, you can still see many traces of the last century, which have now become cultural relics.
Su Yang walked into the hall where the bidding and auction were held, with his certificate and documents in his hand. At the registration desk, a relatively young woman smiled at Su Yang.
"Are you here to attend the land auction?"
“Which company?”
Su Yang smiled and said, "Jitu Express."
The woman was stunned for a moment, she had never heard of this company before, and why was a courier company here to bid for the land?
But when she took a look at the list, she found that this company was indeed on it.
"Please sign here."
Su Yang nodded. The woman handed him a document. He signed his name and walked towards the auditorium.
There were many companies participating in the land auction this time. He saw at least a hundred cars parked outside, and estimated that there were sixty or seventy companies. The real estate market has become increasingly hot in recent years.
Even the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States in the second half of 2008 did not affect the enthusiasm of real estate developers in bidding for land. These people all knew that it was only a matter of time before housing prices rose. It was cheap to buy land now, and at worst they could just hold on to it and wait for it to appreciate in value.
Of course, the real money comes from developing real estate. Although holding on to the land makes money, the taxes you have to pay also increase exponentially.
Take a piece of land that Su Yang was familiar with in his previous life as an example. The developer bought the land for more than 40 million yuan. At that time, the land was still a wasteland, but after five years of development, the surrounding shopping malls, hospitals, fire stations, parks, subways, bus lines, and various infrastructure facilities have all been completed.
At this moment, the price of this piece of land has soared from more than 40 million to 100 million.
Most people would think that they could make 60 million just by selling this land, but in fact, this is simply impossible.
The appreciation of land has nothing to do with developers. It is the investment in infrastructure construction that forces house prices to appreciate. So at this time, if developers want to transfer the land in their hands, they have to pay a very high land value-added tax.
For the portion of the land transfer amount that exceeds one times the project amount but does not exceed two times the project amount, a 50% value-added tax will be levied.
If the amount exceeds twice the project amount, 60% of the value-added tax shall be paid directly.
This does not include the corporate income tax, urban construction tax, and education surcharge that should be paid normally...
The final 60 million in profits would only be infinitely diluted...
This also indirectly illustrates one thing, that is, all the land sold in Jiangcheng City must be developed immediately. If someone uses various methods to delay and obstruct the development progress, then either someone else will develop it, or they will just have to drink the soup and don't think about getting the meat.
After entering the land auction hall, Su Yang looked around and finally saw the Jitu Express sign in the back corner.
Come to think of it, he had never participated in this kind of auction before, so it was already good enough that he was arranged to be at the back.
He looked forward and saw a few familiar faces. Zhang Guohua and Si Xuezhong were sitting together. Not far away, sitting in the first row, was Zhong Liang, the deputy director of the credit department of Jiangcheng Bank.
The fat man weighing over 200 pounds who had just passed by him in the Mercedes was sitting in the middle seat.
Looking at the sign, it was a real estate company called Songjiang Construction. The fat man seemed to notice Su Yang's gaze and suddenly looked a little disdainful.
"These days, anyone can come and take pictures..."
"You can drive a shabby Jetta into here and sit down. How shameless!"
Several bosses nearby heard the fat man's sarcastic remarks and started laughing.
"Who are you talking about, Mr. Deng?"
"That's right, whoever makes President Deng unhappy, stand up!"
"I just saw a shabby Jetta parked outside. I thought it was an employee of Xijiang Hotel, but I didn't expect it was here to participate in the bidding. This is really strange. Now companies participating in land auctions don't need to verify their capital?"
