Chapter 1145
Meng Haisheng walked slowly into the community, where the space was obviously much wider.
He saw an old man basking in the sun on a bench, so he walked up to him and said hello: "Uncle, what was the vacant land over there used to be? It looks like it has been abandoned for a long time."
The old man raised his head and said slowly: "Oh, that piece? It used to be a shantytown, where poor people lived. In recent years, the policy has improved, the government has renovated the shantytown, and those people have moved away."
Meng Haisheng nodded, "Pengcheng has developed so fast in recent years, why haven't real estate developers come here to build buildings?"
If Meng Haisheng remembered correctly, this community and the vacant land next to it were later built into a park.
The old man continued: "I heard that the feng shui of that place is not good, and whoever lives there will be poor for life. Counting a few decades ago, it seems that it was a mass grave."
Hearing the word "mass grave", Meng Haisheng's eyes flashed with a flash of realization, and now he understood why the developer was unwilling to touch that piece of land. Even if the house is well built and all efforts are made, it is afraid that it will not be sold.
If he buys this land and converts it into a hotel, it will also be affected by these public opinions.
Meng Haisheng stood up and looked at the community. He was thinking about the feasibility of converting the community into a five-star hotel.
The old man seemed to see through his thoughts: "Young man, you don't look like an ordinary person. Are you the boss of a real estate company?"
He sighed, "We have lived here for more than 20 years. We are really fed up."
"This community is indeed a bit old."
Meng Haisheng echoed, and the old man seemed to open up and talked about the situation of the community: "This community has been in disrepair for a long time. When it rains, almost every balcony of every household will leak. Residents living on the top floor are even more miserable. There is rain inside and outside the house. In the summer, it is hot and humid. There are mold spots everywhere in the corners of the room. If you don't Pay attention, and a field of mushrooms will grow. These old buildings from the 1970s have very narrow stairs. We old people have to be very careful when going up and down the stairs. We can fall down if we are not careful. "
Meng Haisheng's heart moved, and he asked casually: "Haven't you asked the higher authorities to repair it in these years?"
The old man shook his head: "It has been mentioned for a long time. It was said that it would be demolished a few years ago, but it has been delayed and delayed. Until now, there is no movement."
"If you are a real estate developer, can you find a way to demolish our community first?"
At this time, Meng Haisheng couldn't help but smile indifferently. He did have a fancy to this piece of land, but he knew in his heart that it would not be easy to take it. If it can be taken, it would be good to build a shopping mall on the vacant land and a five-star hotel next to it.
Say goodbye to the old man, get in the car, and continue to wander around Pengcheng aimlessly.
The appearance of the city is changing with each passing day. He looked at several potential construction sites, all of which have been taken. It may not be so easy to take these lands.
He wandered around those places that were undeveloped in his memory but had development potential in the future. Today, these plots of land are still abandoned.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No wonder people said that the 1990s was a golden age. As long as you had money, you could double your wealth in a few years just by hoarding land.
In those days, the speed of land appreciation was like horse racing. Countless people made tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of wealth in that era.
After a busy morning, it was almost time for lunch. Meng Haisheng asked the driver to drive to the snack street. He found the noodle shop according to his memory.
It was lunch time. Customers kept coming to the noodle shop and the business was very good.
"Boss, a bowl of pig's trotter noodles." He said when ordering.
"Here you go."
The boss in the kitchen, wearing a white chef's uniform, greeted Meng Haisheng with a smile.
After a while, a bowl of steaming and fragrant pig's trotter noodles was placed in front of him. He tasted it carefully, and the familiar taste evoked countless memories.
This noodle shop has been open here for 20 to 30 years. Meng Haisheng vaguely remembers that he was very poor when he was working hard in Pengcheng.
He couldn't afford anything else, so he would come here to eat a bowl of scallion oil noodles almost every day at noon.
Occasionally, when he had extra money, he would splurge and order a bowl of pork trotter noodles.
Eating this nostalgic taste, Meng Haisheng's thoughts wandered in the past. As he grew older, he missed the people and things in the past more and more.
The young man who was once full of vigor and vitality now has wealth that he can't spend in several lifetimes, but the lost youth will never come back.
After the meal, he put down a hundred-yuan bill and left the noodle shop happily.
Pengcheng contains too many memories that belong to Meng Haisheng. In the past, he was always busy with work and rushed to and fro, and rarely had the opportunity to really stop and savor this city.
TodayThere was nothing serious that day, so Meng Haisheng decided to slow down and take a good walk and look around this familiar yet strange city.
By the mid-1990s, Pengcheng had become very prosperous, and the city center began to show the outline of an international metropolis, with tall buildings like giant trees in the jungle.
Meng Haisheng sat in the car and asked the driver to slowly drive out of the city.
"Boss, if we go any further, we will leave the main city." The driver Xiao Liu reminded with a little doubt.
Meng Haisheng stared out the window and responded casually: "It's okay, just drive along the main road, don't forget to pay attention to the fuel gauge, don't go too far, otherwise we can't get back to the city."
"Understood."
Passing through the hustle and bustle of the city center, the landscape around them began to slowly change. The towering buildings turned into layers of ordinary houses, and then into scattered villages.
Meng Haisheng pondered, they had just left the city not long ago, and it didn't take too much time, how could they reach the suburbs?
It seems that the development focus of the city is still concentrated in that small part of the city center.
Suddenly, an abandoned factory building appeared in their sight.
"Find a place to stop in front." He said to Xiao Liu.
Meng Haisheng got off the car and looked at the large factory building from a distance. Many buildings looked dilapidated due to years of disrepair, and some had even collapsed.
"Xiao Liu, go around and ask around to see what the factory buildings are like. They look like they have been abandoned for a long time."
"Okay, I'll go ask now."
The driver Xiao Liu acted quickly and soon found out the situation of the abandoned factory building clearly.
It turned out that this factory building was built in the 1950s. It was a textile factory built by several surrounding villages, and the villagers worked together here.
With the tide of the times and the change of policies, this factory building has gradually become idle.
Because of its remote geographical location and the interests of multiple villages involved, even if someone wanted to buy it, the negotiations eventually fell through due to various reasons.
Meng Haisheng's eyes lit up. For him, a businessman, such a tricky piece of land could bring unexpected opportunities.
He walked around the abandoned factory carefully, and his plan became clearer and clearer. He wanted to buy it more and more.
This location is very good. If he can successfully acquire this piece of land and build a residential building in the future, it will be a business that is sure to make money.
