Chapter 1104 Campus Address Book (Part 1)
At the headquarters of Hurricane Construction in Shanghai, Yang Dongxu sat in the chairman's position and listened to the reports of the people below.
Because of the SARS epidemic, coupled with the macro-control that the upper level felt that the real estate market was overheated. Real estate prices began to decline significantly in the first half of the year.
Many real estate companies that borrowed chickens to lay eggs went bankrupt because they could not repay the loans due to the decline in housing prices. However, compared with other real estate companies, they began to tighten their money according to the macro-control policy.
Hurricane Construction began to frequently seek loans from banks, and raised the debt ratio that was originally outrageously low to 55% in just a few months. The large amount of funds borrowed has basically been exchanged for land.
This is the largest land hoarding by Hurricane Construction in recent years. And the confidentiality was very good before, and many plots of land were completed by borrowing from other small real estate companies.
Then the small real estate company was directly packaged and acquired, and when others noticed the actions of Hurricane Construction. The money borrowed from the loan was basically spent.
Many people felt that Hurricane Construction must have a deep meaning in doing this, so they wanted to follow up, except for a few real estate companies with large scale and background.
Other real estate companies can't play at all, after all, where are the macro-control policies. Their corporate reputation is not as good as Hurricane Construction, and they cannot get loans from banks, so they naturally cannot hoard land.
So some people feel that they have missed a good opportunity, while others feel that Hurricane Construction's land hoarding is a bit risky and are ready to see him make a fool of himself.
"At present, there are 8 large-scale plaza projects under construction in urban complexes, and 12 have been approved and are about to be built this year. First-tier cities basically ensure that there are three Hurricane Plazas as a foundation, and second-tier cities have at least one in each city. There is no expansion plan for third-tier cities at present.
In addition to Hurricane Plaza, the construction of Hurricane high-end residential areas is also progressing steadily. At present, in the same city and the same area, we are the best in terms of quality, residential grade, and reputation.
The first batch of cinemas under the construction of Hurricane Cinema has been put into use and is currently in good operating condition. Part of the second batch of cinemas has been put into use, and part is still under renovation.
The two phases of cinemas have a total of 6,000 screens. Basically meet the market demand for watching movies. However, according to the market department's survey, with the development of the economy in the next few years, the number of moviegoers will continue to surge.
Therefore, the company has approved the construction plan for the third batch of cinemas, and is preparing to add another 4,000 screens in the next two to three years, so that the number of screens in Hurricane Cinema will exceed the 10,000 mark."
Yang Dongxu listened to the reports on the company's recent situation from the heads of various departments below, and he didn't speak. So the conference room was very quiet except for the voice of the reporter.
When the meeting was about to end, he said: "While the capital chain remains healthy, try to reduce the sales of finished houses during this period. Of course, if consumers are willing to pay more down payments to buy, everything will go according to normal procedures."
"I will arrange it." Zhao Yu nodded.
Zhao Yu, the general manager, is used to his boss's preference to hold on to the houses in his hands. Moreover, due to macroeconomic regulation, housing prices have been falling, and it is indeed not a good time to sell a large number of houses.
He is very confident about the future domestic real estate market, because Chinese people attach great importance to the concept of "home". So he particularly supports his boss's policy.
"Don't stop the charity projects such as donations to the Hope Project, infrastructure construction in poor mountainous areas, and paving bridges and roads." Yang Dongxu said again.
It is still impossible for him to stop the rumbling train of domestic real estate by himself. Even if he uses all his strength, it is estimated that the final outcome will be crushed into slag.
So he can only sit on this train, and even walk in front to reap the most dividends. He couldn't stop the train from moving forward, but he had the power to decide where to use the red money he had harvested.
"The accounts that have been connected with Runyu Foundation have always been very clear without any omissions." Zhao Yu said.
To be honest, he admired his boss's efforts in charity from the bottom of his heart. Since the establishment of Hurricane Construction, it has donated to Runyu Foundation every year.
And Runyu Foundation is also very authentic. As long as the Hope Primary Schools and bridges built are donated by Hurricane Construction, they will be marked with the name of Hurricane Construction.
Now among the Hope Primary Schools donated across the country, there are nearly 200 with the name of Hurricane Construction on them. Hurricane Construction is definitely the most popular private enterprise on the road signs beside many roads in poor mountainous areas.
And the number of bridges donated in these years has exceeded 100, of which there are three bridges with a construction cost of over 100 million. In total, Hurricane Construction has invested nearly 5 billion in charity over the years.
This is because Hurricane Construction is constantly expanding, and the capital chain has been maintained in a slightly rich state of hand-held balance. Once Hurricane Construction has digested the dividends of the previous waves of land hoarding, the donation amount is likely to double in a short period of time.
At the same time, this is only the donation of Hurricane Construction. According to Zhao Yu's knowledge, the company under his boss is also on the donation list. Runyu Foundation donates hundreds of millions of dollars to charity every day.
What Zhao Yu admires even more is that Yang Dongxu never advertises himself after doing so many good deeds. For example, Hurricane Construction donated 80 million yuan during the SARS epidemic, plus 100 million yuan in supplies.
No matter what he knows, the Millennium Supermarket and Huaxiu Clothing, which were previously hacked, also donated hundreds of millions of yuan. But compared with other donating companies, the companies under Yang Dongxu's name were very low-key after doing good things. Yang Dongxu was even more low-key about such things and never publicized them.
"Okay, today's meeting ends here. Keep a close eye on the Olympic projects in Yanjing and don't let any mistakes appear." Yang Dongxu ordered.
"I have been in charge of this personally, and we have our own quality inspectors, and every time we go to inspect, we will conduct random inspections and randomly select personnel.
At the same time, the Olympic project team also has special quality inspectors, and double guarantees will not give those who dare to take advantage of loopholes in national affairs a chance."
"That's good. Now the company's development has entered the high-speed fast lane, but we can't reduce quality for development. Since the contract stipulates that the quality guarantee is 70 years, then problems in 69 years are all unqualified.
We are now the leader of your real estate companies, and as real estate becomes more and more popular, a large amount of funds will flow in, and with the large amount of funds coming in is not Lose our strong capital.
So now that we have passed the initial stage of capital accumulation and have a good foundation. Then we must operate our own brand well.
Large sums of money and capital with identity background can be drawn in at any time as long as people are willing. But brand management cannot be completed in a short period of time. We must make brand management a threshold.
Let there be only two real estate companies among the people, Hurricane Construction and other construction companies. As long as we do this well, we can sit back and watch how much hot money and capital will flow into this industry in the future. We can all watch them fight on the sidelines. "
After listening to Yang Dongxu's words, Zhao Yu nodded.
The brand of Hurricane Construction has been operating, and it has been operating well. But this good is just a good foundation. With such a good foundation, it would be a pity if a century-old brand was built.
After arranging the affairs of Hurricane Construction, Yang Dongxu returned to Hangzhou.
YY is about to go online, and he is always a little worried if he doesn't go over to watch it. After all, there are two fat and strong tigers squatting in the domestic instant messaging software. Any outsiders who rush into this industry will be torn to pieces by these two tigers if they are not careful.
However, before YY went online, Yang Dongxu played a little trick. He did not directly launch YY, but made a campus network address book.
Such a communication webpage will be a common thing in a few years, but it is very novel now. Especially after registration, you can see other registered alumni from the same school, and even alumni who graduated before, which instantly makes people feel familiar.
After all, whether it is game friends, CC and MM friends, there is always a sense of illusion and alienation, after all, these friends are all over the country.
But the campus address book is different. The good friends recommended in the campus address book are all from the same school. Maybe you can meet them when you go out, which feels very novel and a little exciting.
So when the campus address book was recommended on the 361 website, the number of registered people exceeded 100,000 on the first day, 500,000 on the second day, and exceeded 1 million on the third day. Its data growth rate shocked the industry.
"Can we make this campus address book?" Qian Jincai sat in the general manager's position with a gloomy face at the headquarters of Parkson Technology, and the company executives of Parkson Technology sat below him.
They were originally very proud of the acquisition of Zhonglian last year, but now they all lowered their heads for fear that their boss would call them to speak, just like a poor student in class was afraid that the teacher would nominate him to answer a question.
Everyone lowered their heads, but the technical officer in charge of MM's operation obviously couldn't remain silent, "To put it bluntly, this address book is actually a web page, although the server requirements are a bit higher due to the number of logins. But in fact, there are no technical difficulties. We can optimize it and tie it to MM."
"How long will it take?" Qian Jincai looked much better, at least there were people under him who knew what to do.
"It's easy to make a web page in a week at most, and we will make it seamless for more than 3 users. It will take some time. After all, the total number of MM users has reached 7 million, and it will take a lot of time to synchronize data."
"Give a specific time." Qian Jincai knocked on the table.
The technical officer looked at the people around him and exchanged glances. After learning that there were no major technical difficulties, he pondered for a moment and said, "It will take at least two months."
"One and a half months, I'll give you one and a half months at most. We see that this thing is a complement to MM, and Feixun must also see it.
So we must make this thing before Feixun. Even if Feixun makes it at the same time, we must do it better than them. We must use this to snatch some CC users."
