Zhao Yi's first batch of urbanization investments are so large, and he will continue to invest in the future. If he wants to recover the capital, it is impossible to rely solely on residential rents. The current residential rent price is about 0.3 yuan per square meter per month.
This is because everyone’s salary level has increased a lot in the past few years. Otherwise, the monthly rent is only 0.15 yuan per square meter. Even if 5 billion square meters of construction area are used to build residential buildings, the annual rent is only 180 yuan. billion.
It would take 56 years to recover capital through this, which doesn’t seem to be a long time, but the rate of return on capital is too low.
Of course, as people become richer and average incomes get higher, rent prices will definitely rise, but it is unlikely that they will rise too high.
The purpose of Zhao Dayi's aggressive construction of these rental houses is to reduce the national expenditure on housing. If the price is raised too high, it will definitely violate his original intention.
Therefore, if Zhao Yi wants to recover his capital quickly in the future, he will mainly rely on these commercial real estate projects. Since he is now involved, the proportion of land occupied and construction costs is very low, so it will be much easier to recover his capital.
Although this series of big moves has attracted a lot of attention from other cities in the country, they also hope that Zhao Yi can go to their cities and invest so much money in urbanization.
Not to mention other things, the investment of so much capital will bring a lot of jobs to the local area, and it will also allow these cities to start to enter the wave of modernization in an instant.
It’s just that most prefecture-level cities across the country don’t have high investment value at present, and it will take a few years before they get their turn to be developed.
According to Zhao Yi's plan, the first batch will develop national central cities first, the second batch will develop provincial capitals and important provincial cities, and the third batch will be the development of prefecture-level cities.
And it is not just a matter of urbanizing these places, but it needs to be compatible with their economic development. Without a certain economic foundation, even if it is forcibly developed, it will only be an empty city.
However, provincial capital cities across the country still have very high development value, but he currently doesn't have much money on hand. If he wants to accumulate a certain amount of funds again, he will have to wait until next year.
And if his industry maintains its current scale, it is estimated that the amount of funds that will reach his hands next year will only be about one trillion yuan, which will not be able to carry out comprehensive development in provincial capitals across the country.
In addition to real estate development, Zhao Yi also needs to take care of the operation of the new city. He has always wanted to get involved in urban garbage disposal and water plant operations, and he can now start preparations.
Because the domestic urbanization construction was relatively low before, and the original urban areas had been occupied by state-owned enterprises, it was difficult for Zhao Yi to intervene.
But the new city developed by oneself is different. There is no need to compete with other companies. You can make the decision yourself. And with the strength of Yaoguang Environmental Management Company, the strength of this business is definitely stronger.
To be honest, other waste disposal companies may still need government subsidies, but Yaoguang Environmental Management Company, with its leading technology, can turn a lot of waste into treasure, and it can achieve profitability just by relying on this business.
Coupled with the garbage disposal fees charged by citizens, it can be said that this business is quite competitive for Yaoguang Environmental Management Company.
It can also reduce the current garbage pollution problem, which is of great significance to the improvement of the urban environment.
While Zhao Yi's team was negotiating with these cities, Zhao Yi's recently established architectural design company had produced many planning and design drawings with the help of the smart city planning and design software and architectural design software he wrote.
The reason why Zhao Yi took out these things so early was to let the management of these cities see how beautiful the newly planned new cities or districts are. After all, seeing is believing.
If it is just a dry negotiation, it will not be able to poke their head at all. At most, the number will sound very large, and there will be no specific understanding at all.
But the design of this planning map is completely different, especially since it can generate a 3D planning map, making it difficult for the local governments who are negotiating to not be tempted when they see such a magical urbanization construction.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yi's team had a very large advantage when negotiating with these governments. After the local government read these plans and architectural designs, the words that were originally still fussy became soft in a short time. Come down.
This is why they are willing to sell half the land and half give it away to Zhao Yi. In fact, they have never seen a modern new city. If it comes true, they will immediately have a new city card.
Putting aside everything else, at least tourism can definitely bring a lot of income to the local area. Compared with these reputations and the expected future income, the income from land seems insignificant.
This is why Zhao Yi is able to reduce the building area of a unit to about 200 yuan. Land is really cheap. The cheap ones are only 20 yuan per square meter, and the expensive ones are only 50 yuan per square meter.
Overall, the price he paid for the land was about 30 yuan per square meter. Except for the more expensive land in Kyoto and Shanghai, the land prices in other cities were very low.
Originally, the land price in Shenzhen could not have been so low, but at present, Shenzhen's economy is mainly driven by several enterprises under Zhao Yi, which can be said to be the economic engine of Shenzhen.
Therefore, facing Zhao Yi's team, they were relatively weak and did not want to make the relationship between the two parties serious. Later, when they saw the 3D animation of city planning given to them by Zhao Yi's team, they instantly lost their ability to resist.
And it’s not just one planning drawing. The design company provides each city with several sets of carefully selected planning and design drawings, so that each city has its own unique urban planning and architectural features.
If they really build a new city according to these plans, then to be honest, if the policy does not allow it, they would be willing to give away the land to Zhao Yi for free, because the shock to them is really too great.
Zhao Yi also knows that "opportunities must not be lost, and they will never come back." These first batch of cities are all central cities in the country and will be major economic hubs and transportation hubs in the future.
If he still wants to make back the money he invested as soon as possible, he will mainly rely on the contributions of these central cities, and the price is still so low now, so Zhao Yi suddenly made a bold move.
You know, in these first batch of cities that are undergoing urbanization, they have never seen Zhao Yi's tricks before, and their resistance is very weak. Coupled with the excellent future prospects, they can get such preferential prices.
In the future, as the domestic government becomes more knowledgeable, this deception method will become less easy to use. It will be very difficult to obtain land from the government at such a low price.
Therefore, Zhao Yi made a temporary decision to use all the 1 trillion yuan to acquire land in these 10 cities. In addition, for several major economic cities such as Shenzhen, Kyoto, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, he will take as much land as he can. How many strategies.
To be honest, in the face of Zhao Yi's huge appetite, although the local government is very willing, it is a little scared. You know, all these funds are used to acquire land, covering an area of more than 33,000 square kilometers.
Think about it, the total area of Shanghai is only over 6,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the area of five or six Shanghai.
Therefore, Zhao Yi also knows that all of this trillion in capital will not be invested in purchasing land at all, but will only try to obtain as much land as possible. The government will give as much as it is willing to give, with no upper limit.
Zhao Yi's behavior even alarmed the central government, who called him specifically to ask about his purpose and asked Zhao Yi to explain for a while before he got through.
But the results are obvious. In the end, this one trillion yuan only spent less than 300 billion yuan. Although he did not reach his goal, the results were still very gratifying, and he won a total area of 10,000 square kilometers of land.
However, these lands are not so easy to obtain. Because they are afraid that Zhao Yi will raise the price and resell the land with so much land, they specially stipulated the development period, that is, the construction must start within one year and be completed within 10 years.
Although the time limit seems to be very long, a full 10 years, it is not that simple. If you want to develop these lands, it will cost 15 to 20 times as much as buying them.
In other words, in the next 10 years, Zhao Yi will need to spend 4.5 trillion to 6 trillion yuan of his own funds to develop these lands.
And it is calculated based on the current prices and labor costs. As time goes by, the cost will further increase, so Zhao Yi cannot delay it too long, otherwise the cost will be inestimable.
Although the annual investment is only a few hundred billion yuan, Zhao Yi's industry can completely afford it. This is why the local government limited this time to within 10 years.
This not only allows Zhao Yi to invest most of his funds in it, but also prevents it from going bankrupt and becoming an unfinished project because the capital invested every year exceeds the limit of his capabilities.
But Zhao Yi's plan is not just to carry out urbanization construction in these 10 cities, there are so many provincial capitals waiting for him.
Although the individual investment scale will not be so large, due to the large number, the overall scale should be similar to the first batch.
Now Zhao Yi finally realized what it was like to be short of money. It turned out that he seemed to be rich, but in fact he was also a "pauper".
As for loans to develop these projects, don't even think about it. It's hard to say whether there is so much money in the bank, and besides urbanization, the country also needs funds for other infrastructure.
It is estimated that the loans in the bank will still flow into the construction of the national railway network and the reform of state-owned enterprises. It is basically impossible for Zhao Yi to distribute these loans.
So Zhao Yi had to find money by himself, but after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have had a hand in all the profitable businesses, and there were very few areas left for him.
Of course, Zhao Yi didn't bother to go in and stir up trouble in those small industries. It must bring him large-scale revenue, and it must be a high-profit industry.
At the same time, it must be able to leverage its technical advantages and quickly expand the market for industries and products. Only in this way can it bring a large amount of available capital in the short term.
After thinking about it, Zhao Yi felt that there were only two industries that could bring him a large amount of short-term capital profits, and they were relatively easy to achieve.
The first is the existing business, that is, the offshore farm project. Now it covers 100 square kilometers and can earn 5.4 billion yuan in food revenue alone. It has expanded 30 times, and the annual revenue has reached more than 160 billion yuan.
And this is still calculated at a very cheap price. If you buy it internationally, with its high-quality grain products, the price will definitely be higher than ordinary grain. The price of 0.3 yuan per kilogram is still achievable.
In other words, the output value here has reached more than 320 billion yuan. Although the initial investment is very large, the return on capital is also very fast.
Don’t forget that in addition to growing food, offshore farms also have fish farming with higher economic value. This is a more profitable product. It can be said that with such a large farming area, it can supply fish products around the world. .
Although it is impossible to buy Zhao Yi's originally expected price because the output is too high, the current 100 square kilometers should be able to earn more than 20 billion yuan in profits. If expanded 30 times, it can earn 600 billion yuan in profits every year.
Moreover, these grains and fish are very competitive both domestically and internationally. If they are not deliberately targeted, there is no need to worry about competitiveness.
If this item is done well, it can bring Zhao Yi nearly one trillion yuan in income, and Zhao Yi can also apply for tax incentives from the country. After all, if these grains are supplied to the world on a large scale, it will be important to the country's international status. role.
Even if the government does not allow Zhao Yi to export these grains, he can also export other domestic grains. Although the goods are different, the purpose that can be achieved is the same.
Former Secretary of State Dr. Kissinger once said: “Whoever controls oil controls all countries; whoever controls food controls humanity; whoever controls the right to issue currency controls the world. "
As far as our country's current situation is concerned, there is no chance of controlling oil. There is no need to think about controlling the right to issue currency in the short term. The only thing we can think about is controlling global food.
If you want to have a certain influence on the world, it is not enough to rely on trade alone. You also need something more deterrent. And because of Zhao Yi, our country can completely stir up trouble in the world grain market.
Using this reason to convince the top government officials, Zhao Yi felt that he still had a certain degree of confidence. Although the tax revenue was indeed large, it was insignificant in terms of world influence.
By then, Zhao Yi will not only be able to obtain extremely high profits, but also be able to expand the country's influence internationally.
Moreover, as long as the international grain merchants in developed countries in Europe and the United States are suppressed, they will lose one of their minions and their international influence will be reduced.
As for the unemployment problem of domestic grain farmers, there is no need to worry now. Zhao Yi has purchased such a large land area and if he wants to complete the development within the specified period of time, the number of labor required every year will be very large, enough to solve their employment problem.
These are still direct jobs. The labor positions required in other industrial chains surrounding urbanization are no less than direct jobs.
Such as water, sediment, steel, machinery and equipment, and other decoration and building materials, etc., all require more labor to expand the scale of production, which can solve the livelihood problems of hundreds of millions of people.
The main force of these labor forces will also come from rural areas. There is not much remaining labor force among the urban population, and most of them are employed.
Moreover, as Zhao Yi carries out the second and third batch of urbanization construction investments, more and more construction workers will be needed, and the entire industry can completely absorb the problem of domestic rural surplus labor.
Don’t forget, the national government also has large-scale infrastructure construction plans, such as railways, water conservancy hubs, etc., which require a large number of laborers.
As for the construction of the highway network, there is no intention to continue to speed up the construction. The construction length of more than 10,000 kilometers per year can fully meet the domestic economic development speed. If it is too fast, it is completely unnecessary.
The main reason is that once the railway network is built, people will not encounter too many difficulties when traveling. As for the large-scale purchase of cars by the people, there is no need to count on it in the short term. Highways are not particularly urgent. It is better to follow the established plan. .
The second one is the cosmetics and other personal care industry that Zhao Yi has long wanted to enter, but he has never felt so short of money before, and because he has a lot of things on his hands, he has been putting it off until now.
In the current world personal care industry, although the products of participating companies still have certain effects, they are mainly gimmicks, and the side effects are too severe.
The scale of this industry has reached trillions of yuan. This is the reason why Zhao Yi did not participate. If Zhao Yi participated, the overall market size may expand again.
This is the main reason why Zhao Yi wants to enter this industry. If the overall scale is small, even if Zhao Yi has technical advantages and sales channel advantages, it will not bring him much benefit.
Another important reason why Zhao Yi attaches great importance to the personal care industry is that the profit margin of this industry is too high. A profit of ten times is considered average. The profit margin of those luxury care brands is even more terrifying.
Moreover, if the technical advantages of personal care products are not obvious, the brand plays a very important role. After all, everyone trusts them and has used them for many years, so they already have a certain degree of inertia.
But if the technical advantages are too obvious, then the brand is useless, and those consumers can just abandon it. After all, they care more about their appearance than loyalty.

In fact, in addition to the above two industries that can bring short-term benefits to Zhao Yi, the Chinese pharmaceutical company owned by Zhao Yi can also bring huge income to Zhao Yi.
It's just that medicines are quite special after all. It's more difficult and takes a longer time to open the international market. Although they already have many special medicines in their hands, they can only be used domestically.
The domestic market size is quite limited, as can be seen from the national fiscal expenditure, which is less than 100 billion yuan per year, although Zhao Yi pays for the extra money himself.
But this is the wool coming from the sheep. The only thing that can bring real profits to Zhao Yi is the profit from the national finance. The rest is left to the right.
Although it cannot bring huge profits to Zhao Yi in the short term, in the long run, it does have great development potential and will bring Zhao Yi trillions of dollars in profits every year in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi's restless heart calmed down in an instant. He who just now disliked not having enough money suddenly came up with his mantra again, "Money is nothing. If you don't have it anymore, just make more money." (This chapter) over)
