NOVEL NEXT Chapter 33
After staying in Lao Su’s company for more than half an hour, Su Chengyang left. After going downstairs, he did not rush to take a car to leave, but took Liao Haidong and Fang Jinwu to walk on the street.
As the New Year is approaching, there are many people coming and going on the street. In this era without the”head-down tribe”, pedestrians on the street are all holding their heads high, especially young people, who look vigorous and energetic. People go shopping together in twos and threes, and the prosperity and flow of people are far greater than after 2020.
After staying at Jiefangbei for a while, Su Chengyang walked along the road, intending to take a look at the Hongyadong Scenic Area, which will be popular all over the country in the future.
I thought there would be a lot of people.
As a result, when he walked to the Hongyadong Scenic Area, standing on the platform and looking at the stilt house below, it was deserted at a glance, and there were few tourists.
If Su Chengyang hadn’t known that the Hongyadong in front of him was the Hongyadong Scenic Area that became popular on the short video platform, he would have thought that he had gone to the wrong place.
Since he was here, Su Chengyang naturally had to go in and take a look.
This look is similar to the Hongyadong he visited in his previous life.
The fifth floor is for catering, the fourth floor sells antiques, the third floor sells specialty products, and the two floors below are casual bars. There are not many stores open, and most of the shops are closed. There is no sign, and it seems that they have not been rented out.
After a round of walking, it is really boring.
Not only are the prices sold inside expensive, but the taste is not very good.
The specialty products sold can be bought everywhere on the street outside.
Compared with the same type of Ciqikou Ancient Street, it is much worse to be honest. The reason why the original historical”Hongyadong” can be prosperous is largely due to the construction of Qiansimen Bridge and the light show, which makes Hongyadong look beautiful, just like the incredible street in Hayao Miyazaki’s movie”Spirited Away”.
At present, the short video platform has not been released, it has not become popular on the Internet, and there are no foreign tourists. Local tourists are estimated to lose interest after two or three visits. In terms of eating and watching ancient streets, Ciqikou undoubtedly crushes Hongyadong.
So, it is normal that Hongyadong is not popular at this moment and it is deserted.
In a word, the time has not come.
Looking at the deserted scenic spot, Su Chengyang’s heart was burning.
There was only one idea in his mind, to buy this scenic spot.
After buying it and operating it for a few years, when the 4G mobile Internet comes, he will be able to make a fortune.
He remembered that the Hongyadong Scenic Area had a revenue of over 10 billion (sales of merchants) in 2018 and 2019, and the operator of the scenic spot, Little Swan Company, made 300 to 400 million yuan a year in rent and management fees alone.
This is after selling two or three floors of shops. If they hadn’t sold them, they would have made more money relying on rental revenue.
Thinking of this, Su Chengyang took out his mobile phone and quickly dialed Su Jianliang’s mobile phone.
Beep, beep, the phone rang a few times.
“Hello~~”
“Dad, it’s me. I want to ask you something. Do you know the boss of Little Swan Company?”
“I know him. He makes hotpot.”
“You really know him?”
Su Chengyang was a little surprised.
“Nonsense, of course I know him. The municipal government held a Chongqing enterprise meeting before, and I met him at the meeting. The boss is Liao Changguang and his wife is He Yongzhi, a very powerful woman.”
“By the way, why are you asking this?”
Su Jianliang asked
“I am in Hongyadong now. I think this stilt house is quite interesting. I want to buy it and run it.”
“Do you want to buy Hongyadong?”
Su Jianliang frowned when he heard this. As a building that caused a sensation in Chongqing two years ago, Su Jianliang had naturally heard of it, and he had also visited it. It was very popular in the first three days of its opening, with the highest number of visitors on the same day reaching 100,000.
It was also rated as a 4A scenic spot.
However, not long after, it was reported that the prices in the scenic spot were several times higher than those outside, and many places inside required entrance fees. There was nothing particularly fun, so gradually no one went there.
The merchants also gave up their leases and left the site one after another.
It is said that it has been losing money for two years.
The media even bluntly stated that it would definitely lose money and would never be able to make a profit.
Industry insiders were also pessimistic.
It is said that in the past two years, Sequoia Capital was approached with the intention of listing the assets of the Little Swan Hot Pot Company in a package, but it encountered a financial crisis, and then there was no news.
Such a loss-making scenic spot, your son wants to buy it?
Are you kidding?
Su Jianliang thought his son was not clear about the situation of Hongyadong, so he quickly popularized the current situation of Hongyadong.
At the end of the words, he persuaded:”Son, this project is really not worth investing in. Although the appearance of Hongyadong looks a bit strange, there is actually nothing fun in it. It is similar to the ancient towns of Ciqikou, except that it is a stilt house.
The fun factor is not high.
People who have been here once are not willing to come again.
Moreover, the traffic volume of Hongyadong is only two to three thousand people a day, which is not as good as some streets in Chaotianmen.
Such business is totally worthless.”
“Dad, I know everything you said!”
“Hongyadong is not good now, but it doesn’t mean it won’t be good in the future”
“All in all, I am optimistic about this project.”
“If you really don’t think this project is a good idea, then I’ll buy it.”
Su Jianliang frowned, and after a while, he said,”Do you have to buy it?”
“Well, you have to buy it”
“OK, I’ll find some time to talk to Liao Zhiguang and test his opinion first.”
Although he didn’t agree to buy the Hongyadong scenic spot, his son said that he had to buy it, so what else could he do? He had to support it.
After chatting for a few more words ,
Su Chengyang hung up the phone.
Looking at the deserted Hongyadong scenic spot in front of him, Su Chengyang showed a faint smile on his face.
With Old Su’s appearance, and the Hongyadong scenic spot suffering losses for years, and now facing the financial crisis, Little Swan’s financial situation should not be very good.
In this case, it is also possible for Liao Zhiguang to sell the loss-making Hongyadong project and cash out and leave.
In the next few years, residential housing prices in Yucheng will definitely remain stable and will not rise.
But commercial projects still have investment value attributes.
For example, Jiangbeizui.
Right now it is a deserted Flat land.
In the original history, this place was built by Yucheng as the financial center of the western region, and the slogan”Jiangbeizui above and Lujiazui below” was promoted.
Very loud.
But Su Chengyang remembered that Jiangbeizui had always been tepid. Many office buildings were built and some banks and insurance companies were invited to settle in, but it did not play a big role. Many office buildings are still idle.
In his opinion, the main reason why Jiangbeizui has not developed is the lack of a company with national influence to settle in.
If Alibaba or Penguin moved its headquarters to Jiangbeizui, with tens of thousands of employees, how could it not develop?
So, it’s not that Jiangbeizui is in a bad location, but a problem of attracting investment.
Looking at the wilderness and flat land on the other side of the river, Su Chengyang squinted.
