Chapter 274: Brain-opening Speculation
For this land reclamation project, the list of auction items is described in great detail.
It is true that the land area of the Earth has expanded tenfold in this plane, and the population has increased tenfold.
What is surprising, however, is that the territory of Japan, North and South Korea, and some other countries has not simply expanded tenfold, but only several times.
On the contrary, China, the United States, Australia, and even the Soviet Union have expanded the land area of these places in Europe more than tenfold, and even more than some.
But if you put it all together, it is ten times more than Kim Hyun-tae's original time and space.
For example, Japan's land area has only quadrupled but its population has increased tenfold, so Japan's demand for land is much more urgent than it was in another time.
The overall area of North and South Korea is similar to that of Japan, and it has more than tripled in size compared to another time and space, but its population has increased tenfold.
As a result, North and South Korea, like Japan, have become narrowly populated.
And here, let's talk about Japan alone.
Since the population of Japan in this time and space exceeded 1.2 billion, the land area is not large, and the Japanese archipelago in this time and space is also mountainous and hilly, so the Japanese people are very demanding about land.
In other words, in ancient times, perhaps this problem could be solved through war.
But in modern times, especially after Japan's defeat in World War II, it is clear that such a solution will not work.
So what else can the Japanese do?
There is a way!
That's land reclamation!
That's right, it's this way to solve the situation of insufficient land.
Therefore, from the 60s, Japan began to develop a vigorous land reclamation project.
In 1987, the Japanese Diet passed the Tokyo Bay Reclamation Project and began to invite bids.
Because it is intended not to let Japan pay, but to achieve its own goals by bringing in foreign capital. Therefore, the Tokyo Bay reclamation project has attracted a large number of enterprises with strength and capital to bid.
In the end, the project was won by the American "Speed Run" group, and the project began in 1993 and has been working until now.
The 'Speed Run' group has to be mentioned here, because it is the largest automobile manufacturer in the United States and the largest steel manufacturer in the United States.
Anne is also a small role compared to the other party.
Even the whole of Detroit, because of the 'speedrun' company, has gone from a small city of only a few thousand people. It has become a large city with a population of more than 10 million.
And half of the population of Detroit City can be said to work for speedrunners or get paid in related companies.
It can be seen that the speed of the group is huge, how strong the strength and capital are.
Of course, Anne now invests hundreds of billions of dollars in Japan, taking advantage of the appreciation of the yen to raise trillions of dollars, and when the yen forcibly fell back to its original price, she once again exchanged her dollars for yen to enter Japan.
Because when the yen forcibly falls. According to the secret agreement and the persecution of the United States, there will be a process of appreciation and decline.
So Anne can still fish for such a time.
By the time this is over, Anne's fortune will basically break through the $10 trillion mark.
At that time, although it is not as good as the speed run group, but in terms of personal wealth. Anne can also be ranked number one in the world.
At this time, unlike Anne, who was getting richer and wealthier, their business began to come under pressure.
From Japan, China, Germany. As well as the competition of domestic automobile companies in the United States, the sales of speedrun's cars are declining year by year, and the interests have been greatly affected.
At the same time, the investment of the speedcomb group has failed again and again in recent years. As a result, there was a great shortage of working capital, so they had to abandon the land reclamation project, which had already entered the later stage of the project.
Quite simply, Wheatstone forced them to do it.
For the reclamation project in Tokyo Bay, the Express Group borrowed a large amount of money from the Wheatstone Bank, and the monthly interest was also not small.
After thinking about it, it would be better to transfer this project and get a sum of money to settle the Wheatstone Bank debt.
And the real situation, mainly because Anne took a fancy to the huge interests in it, so she threatened the speedrun group when it was under so much pressure, in order to force the other party to give up the project.
But in that case, why is this project going up for auction again?
The reason is simple, Anne wants to give it to Kim Hyun-tae to do.
You must know that this project has entered the advanced stage, and it only takes another three or four years to reap rich fruits.
But because of her pregnancy, Anne wants to reduce the number of companies she manages in the future, and try to streamline the companies controlled by the Wheatstone family, and only control the ones with high profits and high profits, so that she can spend more time with her children.
And such a thing, Anne is already beginning to implement.
But in this process, for some of the benefits that have been basically won, Anne certainly does not want to cheapen others, how to solve this matter?
After thinking about it, it seems that handing it over to Kim Hyun Tae is a good choice.
So Kim Hyun-tae received the invitation.
And it also went smoothly, which made Kim Hyun-tae interested.
In fact, even if Kim Hyun-tae is not interested, this project will still fall into his hands in the end, but in what way, it is unknown.
The total area of the reclamation project is 50 square kilometers, and the cost of each square kilometer is about 1.6 billion US dollars.
According to the plan, after the completion of the project, there will be a port, and at the same time, the construction of some residential facilities and so on will begin, making it a very livable place.
It is estimated that 1.5 million people will live here.
And now the ground construction has not yet begun, and the plots that have been made are still barren, but the future prospects are still very good.
At the same time, when Japan signed the land reclamation contract with Sutong, the contract clearly stated that the 50 kilometers of land would belong entirely to Sucomb, and Sucomb would become the big landlord of the place.
Think about it, with 50 square kilometers of land, isn't it very enviable for such a big landlord.
Of course, there is a land tax to pay. However, you can solve this small problem by building some profitable facilities on this land.
After all, with 50 square kilometers of land and a permanent population of 1.5 million in the future, it is not a problem to make money.
Not to mention the benefits of a large port.
Kim Hyun-tae slightly estimated that the total cost of 50 square kilometers of land is 80 billion US dollars, and according to Japan's land tax system, the owner has to pay 3% of the land holding tax a year, which is 2.4 billion US dollars.
Strictly speaking, that's not less.
You know, it's paid every year.
But if this place is well run, the annual income will definitely not be bad.
So Kim Hyun Tae was very tempted.
What's more. After the auction item was purchased, it was not only the land reclamation project in Tokyo Bay, but also the land reclamation project in the two places of Huaxia Magic City and Shencheng.
At this time, the auctioneer on the stage also happened to talk about this matter.
"This contract also includes the 30 square kilometers of the Huaxia Magic City project, as well as the Shencheng Shekou Port reclamation project, the future benefits and prospects are very considerable, I believe that everyone who focuses on the future can be clear about these. Therefore, please enthusiastically raise the quotation card in your hand and strive for a brighter and more brilliant future for yourself. The reserve price of this commodity is $80 billion. $5 billion per outcry. ”
The reserve price is $80 billion!
$5 billion per outcry!
Kim Hyun-tae's heart suddenly cooled after hearing this.
He now has $37.2 billion in his hands, and to be honest, he really can't compete for this 'commodity' that interests him.
So at this time, Kim Hyun-tae had already dispelled the idea of raising cards.
Although he was very interested and wanted to be a big landowner. But your own capital is not enough, and this is also something that cannot be helped, isn't it?
As big as the head, how big the hat is, Kim Hyun Tae still has it.
"Interested friends. Now you can raise your cards, 80 billion! 80 billion!"
The auctioneer shouted for a long time, but no one raised their cards.
Looks like. It's cold.
It's also possible that the auction will not be successful.
After all, this 'commodity' is good, but the price of $80 billion, coupled with the continuous investment in the later stage, is also very troublesome.
And although the rich people who came this time have money, few of them have so much capital that they can buy this 'commodity'.
Kim Hyun-tae is the first rich man among the guests this time.
Even he dismissed the idea, let alone the others.
It was at this time that Kim Hyun Tae received a phone call from George Sr.
I took out my phone and connected the phone.
"William, are you going to an auction now?"
After the phone was connected, Old George opened his mouth and asked such a sentence, there was no greeting or anything at all, it was very direct.
Although he didn't quite understand how Old George knew that he was here, and he didn't know what Old George was looking for him, Kim Hyun Tae still replied, "Yes, I am indeed attending an auction." ”
Old George on the other end of the phone hurriedly said to him: "Is there an auction of land reclamation contracts?"
"Yes!", Kim Hyun-tae replied truthfully.
"Buy it, buy it anyway, no matter how much it is, I'll have the money put into your bank account when you get back. ”
Kim Hyun-tae didn't ask much, although he was also curious, but he also knew that he couldn't ask too much.
"Yes, Mr. George. ”
Then he held up the sign beside him.
"$85 billion! This young gentleman is asking for $85 billion, and is anyone else willing to bid?"
The auctioneer, who was already a little disappointed, finally recovered a little after Kim Hyun-tae raised his card.
After some questioning, Kim Hyun Tae finally won the contract for $85 billion.
At this time, he had not hung up the call with old George.
On the phone, old George said to Kim Hyun Tae: "I will go to your house at night, this money is estimated to be credited to your account in a few hours, don't ask, you just need to know that you won this contract and are now his holders." As for the follow-up project development funds, someone will also give it to you, and you will treat it as your own asset in the future. If I could tell you why, I'd tell you, but you can rest assured that it's only good for you, no harm. ”
Kim Hyun-tae's mind was full of doubts and puzzles.
But old George said so, and he could only accept it for the time being.
[Could it be that this is a big interest group that makes itself a white glove?]
Kim Hyun-tae, who had a big brain, suddenly thought of such a possibility.
"Sir, please come with me, we are going over there to do some justice, and the signing of the relevant documents. ”
At this time, a staff member came over and politely asked Kim Hyun Tae to go with him to go through the formalities and related matters.
Kim Hyun Tae had no choice but to put away his doubts, picked up his daughter, who was still asleep, and followed the staff out of the auction hall.
At this time, Kim Hyun-tae can't describe how he feels now.
Fortunately, I thought that old George said that he would come to his house to look for him at night, so it would be good for him to test it a little at that time.
Maybe you'll know a little bit about the reasons behind this.
85 billion, and it's still dollars!
I guess only big interest groups have so much money, right?
At this time, Kim Hyun-tae felt that his inference was very probable, and it was precisely because he felt that this inference might be correct, so he was a little panicked and uneasy about it.
Is the white glove of the big interest group so easy to do?
Kim Hyun-tae looked sad because of this brain hole of his own. (To be continued.) )
