"I mean, is the investment amount very high?" Chen Mingluo said.

He suddenly became very interested in this project. Since real estate development is not a popular industry now, there will be no situation where everyone is squeezing and trying to get in. Why can't he enter the industry first?

Thinking of the large amount of funds that will be obtained from Letong Company, Chen Mingluo felt that it was actually very good to invest in the old city renovation project in Mingyang City. On the premise of obtaining stable returns, he could also start good mutually beneficial cooperation with the municipal government, laying a solid foundation for building Mingyang City into its own base camp in the future.

Chen Tongda did not expect that his son had begun to consider developing towards real estate developers. He simply said, "The first phase of the project is mainly in Linling District, including the relocation of Mingyang textile factory, the transformation of five residential communities, etc. At the same time, the municipal government also needs to invest in building a road here, and the total investment should be around 60 million."

The 60 million in 1995 is indeed not a small amount, especially for a prefecture-level municipal government.

"We seem to have a full picture of Zhang Mingyang City in our house--" Chen Mingluo thought for a while, turned around and ran to the study to rummage for a while, and found a map of Mingyang City.

The three of them surrounded the map and studied it, and Chen Tongda marked the city government's plan on the map.

On the west bank of the Linghe River, there is a large piece of land, all belonging to Mingyang Textile Factory, which is basically abandoned and vacant now. On the east bank of the Linghe River, there are crowded shantytowns, which seriously affects the urban construction process on the east bank of the Linghe River.

The municipal government's idea is to exchange land expenditure for developers' investment, to use the land of Mingyang Textile Factory to develop commercial residential communities, completely smooth out the shanty town on the east bank of the Linghe River, and replace it with a newly built commercial center.

"This question seems simple, but it is actually difficult to implement it-" Chen Mingluo just took a quick look and raised questions, "No more, the relocated population involved in the shantytowns is thousands of people, about 800 households. Even if the housing prices are not high now, it will take more than 20 million yuan to settle them all in terms of cost. And if you want to move their land, can they agree?"

Simply speaking, it only moved people from the shanty town in the east to the newly developed commercial district in the west, but there are many problems involved.

The textile factory is probably a bit simpler. The municipal government comes forward to discuss it, but for residents of the east bank shanty town, although the living conditions are not good now, the daily expenses are relatively small. If you move them to a commercial community on the west bank, many consumption will suddenly become more and more expensive. Even if many people live in spacious new houses, they cannot afford the overall increase in consumption indicators.

"The textile factory is not easy to deal with-" Xiao Mingxue also frowned when talking about this, "But this matter must be solved all the time, and it is not a problem to always stay there."

"Anyway, I'm still idle now, so why not go over and check it out?" Chen Tongda suggested.

Chen Tongda has not been in Mingyang for a long time. Although he has some understanding of the textile factory, he is not in-depth. Since today he mentioned that he should solve the problem of the renovation of the old city in Linling District, involving the textile factory and the east coast shantytown, it is better to go over and see the situation in person, and he has a clear idea in his heart.

"I've seen that place many times-" Xiao Mingxue waved his hand and said, "In the afternoon, I have to meet with the inspection team from the province. There is no time left. Tongda, you are not familiar with that place, so you can go and take a look. Moreover, you are a raw face in Mingyang, and it is easier to go deep into the grassroots level. It's just that there is a bit more chaotic, so you should pay attention to safety."

After Xiao Mingxue and his family left, Chen Tongda and his son Chen Mingluo went out together.

Both sides of the Linghe River have always been residential areas. The main reason is naturally that it is convenient to obtain water. However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the urban living standards have been improved. This factor can be ignored. In addition, the water in the Linghe River is not small and there are often risks of floods and disasters. Therefore, except for some people and enterprises that are not convenient to relocate and do not have the conditions to relocate, the rest have been moved inward.

The Mingyang Textile Factory on the west bank of the Linghe River was built a factory earlier, and it was counted as before the liberation. At that time, it was opened by a major general of the National Army. Later, when the man went to Taiwan, he threw down a bunch of machines and factories and hundreds of workers.

After the new government took over this mess, it put a lot of effort into consolidation. Mingyang Textile Factory once became a relatively famous textile enterprise in Xiling Province. The towels and quilts produced were of great quality.

But by the late 1980s, the factory began to decline.

When Chen Tongda and his son passed by, they saw the dilapidated factory gate, a field full of wormwood. When they walked towards the gate, the sound made even alarmed a rabbit in the grass.

Seeing the gray rabbit jumping out in panic, Chen Tongda and Chen Mingluo and his son looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. The state-owned enterprise's failure has turned into such a situation, which really makes people feel a lot of emotion.

The cement pillar in front of the gate should have a golden sign, but now there are only faint traces left. The words "Mingyang Textile Factory" can be vaguely identified, but they are also covered with green moss. Now, they are shining with the warmth of winter and have turned into a pale yellow color.

When Chen Mingluo pushed the door, an old man walked out of the doorman with gray hair and said, "What are you doing? There is nothing inside. If you want to find someone, you can go to the Economic Commission. There is a temporary office there, there is nothing here, there is just a pile of rotten houses."

There was no lock on the door, but an iron chain was wrapped around it. It opened with a push, revealing a gap that could accommodate a person flashing in. After the father and son came in, Chen Tongda walked over and handed a cigarette, and said, "I stayed here when I was a child. At that time, I was still crowded. I didn't expect that it would become like this in just over a decade."

"You grew up in Mingyang too?" the old man asked with some interest, smoking.

He is an old employee of a retired textile factory. He was free to watch the venue here, and he raised a flock of sheep in the open space of the textile factory. He drove his sheep to walk on the river beach for noon every day. His life was very comfortable, but very few people came here. When he saw Chen Mingluo and his son, he was naturally a little curious.

"I went to school in Mingyang, and at that time the school was on the other side of the river-" Chen Tongda was not nonsense, but actually went to school here, so he started talking to the old man.

When Chen Mingluo saw them talking there, he walked in.

The location of the textile factory is actually good. After all, the original owner had also seen Feng Shui when he was able to build the factory here. Looking to the east, the Ling River flowed by gurgling. The river beach in front was originally a place that was prone to flooding, but in the past few decades, the amount of water in the Ling River has decreased more and more, less than half of its heyday in the past. Although it still looks majestic, there is no risk of being submerged.

The ground inside the factory is also very flat. After several generations of construction and rest, it is very suitable for building residential communities.

Chen Mingluo walked around the empty factory and found that the workload of demolishing these old houses was not large, and it was just to start over. To be honest, it was much easier to deal with this area than to talk about relocation with residents of the shanty towns one by one.

After a rough estimate, even if you build an ordinary four-unit six-story building, you can probably build more than 40 buildings here, and you can only place up to twenty shantytown residents. The remaining twenty buildings are for sale, so it should be said that there is still some profit.

However, considering various situations, Chen Mingluo felt that it was a bit unprofitable. After all, this area can be regarded as an advantageous plot in the future. If a high-end villa area is built in Linhe, the income will be very considerable.

But it was really early to build a villa at this time. It would take about ten years to speculate on the housing prices and sell them at a high price.

The place at Mingyang Textile Factory is mainly a narrow area built along the river bank. Not far away is the so-called wetland resources. At this time of year, there are always many wild birds flying around. Just looking at this rare scene, it is worth the fare.

Although the textile factory is dilapidated, the protection work facing the Linghe side is done well. Perhaps it has been affected by the Linghe River before, so the embankments here are all built with large stones, strict and sturdy, and there is no need for secondary development at all.

There were also several stone paths that were connected to the river bank. Chen Mingluo thought that if he built a small wetland park here, built a few pavilions and a few corridors, he would definitely attract more wealthy people to live there.

Whether a house is easy to sell depends on the construction of the surrounding environment.

Mingyang's real estate development industry has not yet started. Once a few years have passed, the country's policies will be clear, and the value of such a good plot will soar. After all, no matter how good the place in the city is, it cannot match the natural environment here. Rich people still like this environment with good feng shui and good scenery.

The problem is that if you want to take this piece of land, you need to follow the development strategy formulated by the municipal government. It is impossible to give you such a piece of land directly.

After thinking about it, I still have to go and see the situation in the shanty town later.
