Unlike Xia Country, where it was already late at night, on the other side of the Earth, it was already morning in Singapore.
The Global Times was already on sale, and some people noticed that there were a few pieces of news about China on the newspaper.
Especially in the tech and financial world.
Yesterday, Xinlang's withdrawal from the stock market had caused a commotion on Wall Street. Now, the stock market was still under the signboard of Xinlang!
Now, he actually saw news about Xinlang in the Global Times.
Xinlang changed owners. After splitting up, it would launch a Twitter-like product. China named it Weibo.
"Oh, China is copying our products again.”
"But investing in China's Internet is really profitable now. Look at Face's market value. Oh my god, it has already exceeded 10 billion US dollars.”
"The current era is the golden age of the Internet. As long as we go public, we can make a lot of money. So why did Xinlang want to withdraw from the market? With such great news, its stock price would definitely soar today.”
"I don't understand what the Xia people are thinking.”
In the midst of the discussion, someone continued to read the newspaper.
Suddenly, he exclaimed," Xinlang's new boss valued it at 5 billion. Oh my god, are you sure this is true?"”
Everyone gathered around. They couldn't believe that the news they heard was true.
"Before Xinlang was delisted, the highest market value was only 1.7 billion USD!”
"5 billion? People in China are crazy about money."
"It's unbelievable. I don't believe any investment bank or capital on Wall Street would agree with this valuation.”
"I saw in the report that Xinlang's boss has another company called Byte Wave. It seems to be translated like this. The external valuation is also 5 billion. Tsk tsk, this new boss is really bold!”
"Indeed, this person is either a lunatic or an idiot.”
.......
All of a sudden, the tech and financial world of Singapore scoffed at Lin Cheng and Xinlang.
5 billion? Did they really think that Singapore's money was so easy to earn?
However, for the few companies that had already set up in China, such as goldman sachs and red shirt capital, they still sent people to inform the staff in China that they could contact them first.
They had high hopes for Weibo.
Of course, they could not admit the valuation given by Lin Cheng. Moreover, Xinlang had already been split up. Who would be the sucker?
However, business was all about negotiation. How could they know if they would find a valuation that everyone agreed on if they didn't discuss it?
.........
A few days later, in Xia country.
Lin Cheng did not know what was happening in Singapore, and the news about Qingtian gradually calmed down.
There were still a few days before Weibo was released, and Wang Xin and the others were busy gathering manpower to push forward the project.
Lin Cheng went to the office of the Governor of Shanghai.
There was no one in Shanghai who did not know Lin Cheng, let alone the Governor of Shanghai, the boss of the government.
After all, they had also heard of skyscrapers being built overnight to stand shoulder to shoulder with the soaring dragons of Pengcheng.
"You said you're here to buy land?"
The governor asked curiously.
The two of them sat in the living room. The Governor of Shanghai gave Lin Cheng enough respect, but he was also very puzzled when he suddenly heard Lin Cheng's request.
Every inch of land in Shanghai was worth a lot of money, even though it was now 2009, not the 1990s when there was so much empty land.
Lin Cheng nodded." That's right, Lord Governor. I plan to build a skyscraper as our company's workplace. Governor, I can assure you that the Skyraise Building will become another landmark in Shanghai.”
The governor of Shanghai was troubled." But Shanghai's current plans really can't make room for Qingtian. What do you think of Songjiang Prefecture, President Lin?" I'll give you as much land as you want!”
Hehe, Song Jiang? In the early years, it belonged to Su Province, but later it was divided to Shanghai. It was located in the southwest corner of Shanghai, the most remote area.
If he wanted to build the Qingtian Building in Song Jiang, why did he have to settle the Qingtian Building in Shanghai?
"Governor, there are actually many cities that have invited Qingtian to settle down there. Moreover, the policies and taxes they give are much better than those in Shanghai!"”
"Besides, Pengcheng has the Tenglong Group, Hangzhou has Ah Li, and Jingdu has the Internet Search Tiger. However, as the economic center of the country, was Shanghai going to lose to them?”
These words loosened the governor's mind.
That's right, Shanghai was the most developed city in the country, but technology and internet companies were actually unwilling to settle down here. Sheng Da, which had given its full support back then, was gradually declining. Was it really going to be labeled as an internet wasteland?
After a moment of silence, the Governor said,""Which piece of land do you want?"
Lin Cheng pointed at the map of Shanghai hanging on the wall of the living room and said,""Zhangjiang, Shanghai!"
Zhang Jiang. As early as 1999, Shanghai had already made plans to build a high-tech industrial park here.
In the 1990s, someone had once taken this piece of land from the then Governor of Shanghai.
It wasn't just the Governor of Shanghai. He had also promoted the concept of high-tech industrial parks in first-tier and second-tier cities in China, such as Pengcheng, Jingdu, Wudu, Hangcheng, and Nandu. He had successfully obtained a total of several hundred acres of land.
Then, he would use these lands as capital to absorb funds from both inside and outside the country.
He had played the white wolf with nothing at all.
The transfer of funds gave the local government the illusion that they were building an industrial park. Then, the capital chain broke and the truth was exposed. They immediately fled abroad and had yet to be caught.
In order to cover up the scandal, some of these cities were directly abandoned.
However, other science parks were taken over by the government and slowly developed.
In the original history, Zhangjiang Science and Technology Park did not form a scale effect until 2011. It gathered a large number of industries such as pharmaceutics, integrated circuits, information engineering, and semiconductor.
But now, they were growing half-dead, but there was still no internet company. Most of them were university research institutions supported by the government.
However, these talents were exactly what Lin Cheng needed!
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, the governor fell silent again.
Zhang Jiang was very big, not just in the industrial park, but the land would mean demolition.
There were too many parties involved.
However, the benefits of Qingtian's entry were also obvious. The first industrial park was no longer empty. The second would increase the reputation of the industrial park and drive the development of the area.
Secondly, there was a real technology company in Shanghai.
The significance of this was even more important than the previous one.
It symbolized the face of a city!
After hesitating for a long time, the governor finally made up his mind."Alright, Lin Cheng, I can give you Zhang Jiang's land! However, you need to give me a promise.”
Of course, Lin Cheng couldn't back down at this moment."”
The Governor glanced at Lin Cheng and found confidence at his age. He stretched out his hand and said,"I don't care how you and the Soaring Dragon Guild fight, but Qingtian cannot fall!”
Hearing this request, Lin Cheng smiled and stood up, shaking hands with the governor.
"Don't worry about this. As long as I'm here, Qingtian won't fall!”
"Alright, now let's discuss the area of the land and the compensation.”The governor heaved a sigh of relief and began to discuss some details.
Regarding this, Lin Cheng naturally did not comment.
And he didn't mind at all, because he couldn't afford to lose such a large piece of land in 2009.
How many square meters does Zhangjiang Science and Technology Park occupy?
25 square kilometers.
In 2020, the housing prices in Shanghai's Zhangjiang area would reach 70,000 per square meter. 25 square kilometers was equivalent to 25 million square meters. Multiply it by 70,000?
250 billion.
Of course, the price of residential land was not the same as the price of commercial land. 250 billion was impossible, but 50 billion was definitely possible.
However, even if Lin Cheng could only get 5 square kilometers, it would be worth at least 10 billion in 2020.
And this was just the area it occupied.
What if it was a 40-story skyscraper?
How much would it be worth?
Lin Cheng had made a huge profit!
