"As of 24:00 yesterday, all 200,000 units of Level 1 apartments have been sold, with an average transaction price of US$111,000 and a maximum transaction price of US$300,000. Please search () to see the most comprehensive ones! The fastest updated ones," Xia Shiyu reported to Jiang Chen At this time, although his expression was still serious, his voice was tinged with an irresistible tremor.
She really didn't expect that this project, which she thought would cost a lot of money, would turn out to be so profitable.
The project has not yet been completed, but tens of billions of dollars have been received, and more than half of the project money has been recovered.
However, she is also very clear that the reason why it can be sold at such a high price is, on the one hand, the excessive coverage of the city by the media, and on the other hand, the terrifying promotion ability of the virtual reality platform. One gives Penglai City investment value, and the other gives Penglai City enough room for imagination.
No matter how good the wine is, it is afraid that the alley is too deep, not to mention that the wine has not yet been brewed.
However, Chairman Jiang Chen seemed not very satisfied with the transaction price.
"It was actually sold to 300,000 US dollars... This is almost catching up with the housing prices in China." Jiang Chen exclaimed.
According to his plan, even for the soon-to-be-opened Level 3 apartments, the starting price will only be 200,000. The enthusiasm of investors is simply unbelievable, but if housing prices are too high, it may not be a good thing in terms of long-term interests.
"This is also the result of our purchase restriction on each user's ID. If each user was not restricted to purchase only one set of 1-2 level apartments, the average transaction price would have doubled. Because of the purchase restriction policy, the decline It increases the value-added potential of the real estate." Xia Shiyu pushed up her glasses and said.
"Where are the second-level apartments?" Jiang Chen nodded and asked.
There are 100,000 second-level apartments for sale, with a starting price of US$50,000 and an area of 110-120 square meters, mainly for the middle class.
Xia Shiyu pushed up her glasses and continued reporting.
“All 100,000 second-level units have been sold, with an average transaction price of US$217,000 and a maximum transaction price of US$600,000.”
The average price per square meter is 10,850 yuan, which is crazy. Is this still the price in a new development zone? Moreover, the location of the second-level apartments is not considered "city center".
In addition to the concepts of high-tech cities, scenic spots, and high-liberty laws. Investors have not studied factors such as quality of life, transportation, education, and working environment at all.
Although Future People accepts refunds, the refunds will be based on the starting price. In other words, if you spend $600,000 to buy a second-level apartment, you can only get a starting price of $100,000 when selling it back to Futureman Group, unless it is sold to another investor who is willing to take over.
"A developer has applied to us for cooperation. They are willing to purchase 10,000 units of Level 1 and Level 2 apartments from us at unit prices of US$200,000 and US$400,000, and they guarantee that the value of the remaining houses in our hands will be increased to US$300,000 and US$400,000. More than 600,000. As long as we nod and agree to relax the purchase restriction policy and allow each person to own more than three 1-2 level apartments." Xia Shiyu continued.
"The value created by a worker in his lifetime is far more than the income from a house. We are creating an inexhaustible gold mine. It would be short-sighted to convert this gold mine into banknotes early." Jiang Chen said with a sigh.
When Penglai City was built, he never thought of using it as a commodity to hype it. Although he also admitted that raising housing prices will make money faster.
But if he wants money, wouldn't it be enough to just list Future Man Group
That one makes money faster. With the profitability of Future People Group, the market value can easily reach hundreds of billions...
Wall Street investors came to visit him more than once, and even flew to Coro Island to wait for Jiang Chen at the door of the Future Man Building after get off work. Trying to convince him to list on Nasdaq. Everyone is optimistic that the market value of Future Man Group will exceed one trillion US dollars.
"I think so too, so I have rejected them for you." Xia Shiyu pursed her lips and smiled.
Ever since Jiang Chen insisted not to go public, she had already understood his development ideas.
"You still understand me." Looking at Xia Shiyu, Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction.
"Ahem," Xia Shiyu coughed slightly, looked to the side with some embarrassment, and changed the subject. "On the other hand, regarding the issue of commercial land. Currently, 95% of the merchants that we have a cooperative relationship with in the landmark building in the heart of the ocean have submitted applications to move into Penglai City. The business scope of these companies covers accommodation, catering , shopping malls, life and other fields. However, some companies hope that the decoration will be handled by their own contacts because they have contracts with cooperative decoration companies."
"This won't work," Jiang Chen shook his head. "Penglai City mainly uses aluminum foam and graphene as building materials. Decoration and house renovation can only be completed by engineering robots. As for the contract, they can only negotiate it themselves."
Xia Shiyu nodded.
"Finally, in terms of education, we have sent invitation letters to a total of 12,300 senior teachers in more than a thousand universities around the world. However, we have not received a very positive response... They seem to be very cautious about teaching overseas."
According to Penglai City's construction plan, 15 primary schools are expected to be built in Penglai City. 10 junior high schools, 8 high schools, and 1 university. Provide educational services to the entire new country.
However, the lack of teachers is a very troublesome problem.
It is easy to find teachers in elementary and junior high schools, but it is a bit more troublesome in high schools. As for university professors... there are only a few computer professors who study robots and artificial intelligence who accepted the invitation without hesitation.
Welfare professions such as doctors and teachers are much more cautious about immigration than other professions due to their professional qualification certificates and language and cultural environment.
"We seem to have fallen into a misunderstanding." Jiang Chen suddenly said.
"Huh?" Xia Shiyu looked at him questioningly.
"Since we have the Phantom Helmet, why do we have to build a school?" Jiang Chen said.
Xia Shiyu's eyes lit up, but then her brows furrowed slightly.
"I understand what you mean. It is theoretically possible to replace the real classroom with a virtual reality classroom. But the significance of school is not only to impart knowledge, but also a window for children to contact society. This is why online education cannot ultimately replace the real classroom. "
Jiang Chen shook his head and said.
"In a sense, this is correct. But in another sense, this is not correct." After a pause, Jiang Chen continued, "Since the name of our group is Future People, we collectively operate It is high technology, so our managers’ minds must also be at the height of the new era.”
"Can you say it more casually?" Xia Shiyu said.
"The disadvantage of online classes is that it dilutes children's social interaction. But if we completely restore everything that a real classroom should have in virtual reality, then is there any reason why real classes must exist? We can completely restore it in virtual reality There are real classrooms, podiums, blackboards and desks, and our teachers and students can enter the classroom from anywhere. The helmet is the key!"
"But... this is too risky." Xia Shiyu shook her head and said, "We still don't know the side effects of completely banning classrooms. And for something like education, it takes five or even ten years to judge whether it is right or wrong."
"I know." Jiang Chen sighed.
This is indeed a very risky choice.
Because in the apocalyptic timeline, Pan-Asian cooperation continued until the 1970s before the station, and there was still no such thing as a ban on physical classrooms. He had already realized this in the original virtual reality in Vault 05.
Even with extremely advanced technology, the people of Pan-Asian Cooperation still retain to a large extent the living habits of the old era in their daily lives. For example, it is clear that one can quickly master a skill through a virtual reality learning system, but students below high school are prohibited from using this quick learning system.
They believe that cultivating talents will overdraw a person's potential, and that indoctrination-based education will make people become skilled senior engineers, but it will not be able to cultivate scientists who can develop new technologies. Scientific thinking can only be obtained through exploration, and exploration can only be experienced during the learning process.
Unknowingly, Jiang Chen discovered that he had become a person who could influence the development of civilization.
The 22nd century is a mirror. He is lucky enough to be able to see that side, but there is no need to follow the same old path that has been traveled there.
Taking a deep breath, he controlled the inexplicable surge in his heart and spoke out his decision in a deep voice.
"The original construction plan for elementary, junior high and high schools was cancelled, and the target building blocks were converted into residential plazas, gymnasiums and other facilities, and Penglai City was used as a pilot for 'virtual reality for basic education.' Educational-age people within Penglai City will use the student version Phantom Helmet, receive primary school education.”
"Teachers do not need to immigrate to a new country. They only need to recruit online through the Penglai City Ministry of Education. They can start teaching anywhere and receive the agreed salary. The teaching content will be reviewed manually and artificially. If the content is determined to be unqualified, teacher points will be deducted. If the points are cleared, the teacher qualification will be cancelled. In addition, student performance assessment will be conducted in an offline examination room and recorded in personal files."
"The class placement process is based on the students' race and ancestry, and basic knowledge is taught by teachers with the same native language. All students must master the official language Chinese, as well as one other language. According to the wishes of students and their parents, a small number of international classes can be considered ' and a 'crash course' in special education."
"All virtual classes for elementary, middle and high schools also set up social practice subjects, which are conducted in public facilities such as gymnasiums and squares. Only with full credits can the semester be completed."
"The virtual classroom program and the virtual social program are both developed by Future People Technology."
“The university still retains the realistic teaching model.”
"For now... that's all."
Use virtual reality teaching, but do not use a crash teaching system, but simulate a traditional classroom.
This can be regarded as an attempt to be different from that world... (.)
