Chapter 1149: Chapter 1007: Yantang Amusement Park
Afternoon.
Qingyan City Airport, the airplane arrived on schedule.
Today was Thursday.
The sisters were all in school.
Only Second Uncle and Second Aunt came to pick him up.
"Tangtang, Jiaxue, your parents are tending the store. They’ll head straight there after closing up tonight," Tang Kai said with a smile, patting Tang Qing’s arm. He had wanted to sling an arm around his shoulder, but Tang Qing was too tall to reach.
"Second Uncle, you’ve gotten tanner."
"Haha, the sun in Myanmar is fierce."
They left the airport.
Since it was still early,
they didn’t head back to the Manor.
Instead, they arrived at a huge construction site, and Tang Kai explained,
"This will be the future ’Yantang Amusement Park.’ Since there are no high-rise buildings, construction is quick. Once we complete the foundations for the amusement facilities, we can install the equipment."
"The amusement facilities are all modular designs. They are manufactured by the factory, shipped here, and assembled. However, the performance center you mentioned will take quite some time. The plan is too massive; there’s no way it’ll be finished this year."
Following Tang Kai’s gesture,
Tang Qing could see,
that a good portion of the basic amusement facilities were already halfway installed.
Like the pirate ship.
Its two giant arms had already been erected, although they hadn’t been painted yet.
There was also the roller coaster’s track, on which workers were busily welding, and occasionally, large trucks hauled in equipment. Despite the fast progress of these amusement facilities, the trial runs would take quite a long time.
Possibly lasting several months.
These were public amusement facilities.
No room for carelessness because a single mishap could lead to the loss of lives.
The construction site was bustling, and the performance center Second Uncle had mentioned was still only at the stage of concrete frame pillars being cast. It was still a long way from completing the installation of the steel structure roof.
Tang Qing also noticed,
Around the amusement park,
a large area was fenced off, crowded with tower cranes. Seeing Tang Qing’s gaze, Tang Kai added, "The amusement park has driven up the value of the surrounding land. Many developers are developing real estate around here."
"Among them are your Uncle Liu’s Zhengqian Group and Wang Yan’s father’s real estate company. Even companies from the provincial capital have gotten involved in Qingyan City’s real estate industry. Not far from here is Jinghua Square."
"Qingyan City is also planning a new CBD nearby, and large villa projects are being proposed around Qingyan Mountain scenic area. Right now, Qingyan City’s real estate market is overheated."
Tang Kai felt that things were moving a bit too fast,
but it wasn’t easy to say this to the leaders of Qingyan City.
"The new CBD will have a high vacancy rate for a while, but the times are advancing. In a few years, after all the major projects are completed and Qingyan City becomes a city truly of tourism and culture, things will definitely improve," Tang Qing said.
"Indeed. Liu has been trying to pull me into real estate again. What do you think?" Tang Kai asked.
This was not the first time Liu Qian had tried to draw Second Uncle in.
But Tang Qing’s attitude remained the same, shaking his head, "Let’s forget it. This industry does not have a good reputation, and it’s very troublesome. It’s nowhere near as worry-free as our current business is."
This year,
in the Hurun List’s top ten,
six were in real estate. Thinking about this, Tang Qing felt it was a sorrow.
And among the top hundred tycoons,
a quarter were in real estate. It’s quite embarrassing—making money by leeching off ordinary people’s pockets. It’s really not about doing business but about leveraging connections.
Although he himself had shares in Jinghua Real Estate,
it did not stop him from criticizing this state of affairs.
Real estate,
an unsolvable pit in Huaxia.
Countless people want it cheap,
but countless others desperately need it.
From a business perspective,
anything that is in high demand and short supply could never be cheap. The prices will keep soaring until supply meets demand, and then... prices will rise more slowly.
Due to inflation,
money loses value.
When costs in all areas increase, how could housing prices possibly go down? Ma Yun says that in the future, houses will become very cheap, and Tang Qing actually believes that, but it won’t happen in the short term.
Value.
Price.
The balance between the two is definitely not cheapness.
...
Listening to Tang Qing’s words,
Tang Kai nodded.
"Right, real estate is too murky. I’ll decline then. But I’ve invested in a villa hotel project in Myanmar’s capital. The next time you visit Myanmar, there’ll be a place to stay."
Half a month ago,
Ling lifted the ban on land transactions around the capital, 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
but land development was still under strict regulation.
First, developers buying land had to pay the full amount in cash, no debts allowed. Second, the buildings on the land had to comply with city planning, you can’t build a suburban villa next to a business center.
Last,
was the limitation on development timeframe, severely cracking down on land hoarding.
With the land transaction ban lifted,
The urban construction plans for the capital were also released.
It was a grand plan involving all aspects of a modern city, above and below ground, light railways, subways, and supporting facilities—taking at least six years or more to complete.
In effect,
another big piece of the pie was thrown out by Ling.
All of this didn’t catch Tang Kai’s attention much,
because the land he purchased was in the suburbs, and the strict regulation zones were within the city area. As for this large cake, Tang Kai did not get involved. This was the capital of Myanmar, where Dragons and tigers laid hidden, the connections complex, and many people had big appetites.
Afterward,
Tang Kai took him to the Film and Television City.
It was still a giant construction site, not far behind Qingyan Mountain.
Loads of construction vehicles stirred up dust.
Playing the tour guide, Tang Kai said,
"I hired a professional ancient architecture construction team to build some urban buildings from before the Ming dynasty. Later, Qingyan City thought it could be expanded, so they approved more mountainous land for me, to build various other scenes, increasing the variety of sets, and the investment went up by forty percent."
"Bigger is better. It saves film crews from having to travel around too much." Tang Qing only gave it a few glances, then lost interest because it was still a chaotic construction site and you could hardly see anything.
One could only look at the effect drawings.
Tang Kai smiled, "You’re quite thoughtful for the film crews."
Tang Qing shook his head lightly, "Not entirely. My company will need to shoot many beautiful and ’retro’ scenes in the future. If they all can be done in one place, there’s no need to travel too far."
"Hehe, sure, I’ll have them set up a few more scenes."
To support Tang Qing, Tang Kai would do everything possible.
...
Half an hour later,
They returned to the Manor.
Tang Qing noticed some changes in the interior decoration style.
Proudly, Tang Kai introduced,
"I visited a friend’s house in Myanmar. His ancestors were also Chinese, and I found the decor style of their manor quite interesting. So I learned from it and changed some of our decorations. Not bad, right?"
"Very nice. The day after tomorrow, I’ll ask my company’s management to come here for fishing. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen them." Tang Qing returned for a visit and decided to call everyone over for a good time.
"Great, I’ll have people get it ready."
