Chapter 1336 [Not much else but a lot of money]

Tian Jiayi was taking notes on something, while Fang Hong leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile, "This housing price surge is not entirely a bad thing. It actually gives us a lot of bargaining chips. We have to get Ice City to hand over the good plots of land they have kept in reserve."

At the moment, Ice City is indeed very worried that it will not be able to catch the sudden wealth that will come from the sky. You have to know that this time it is not just one or two companies, but a group of star-level companies from the star systems will move in.

It's a big deal if only one family comes, let alone coming with a group.

Just look at how the new city has risen and you can get a glimpse of the whole picture. As long as it is successfully implemented, there is no doubt that the economic growth of the Ice City will take off.

Obviously, after such a commotion, the games with the local people in Ice City will give the stars, who already have the initiative, greater initiative. You know, the stars don't necessarily have to land in Ice City.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if Qunxing finds any small town in the Northeast to settle down and leads a group of Qunxing star companies to move in, it can develop a small town into a big city with a population of several million within ten years.

However, doing so will bring unnecessary costs, offend people, and cause a lot of trouble.

At this time, Fang Hong said: "We should take advantage of this opportunity to have a good negotiation with Bingcheng. Not only should we take out the best land in our storehouse, but we should also increase the proportion of affordable housing in Bingcheng to about 20%."

Simply allocating free housing to employees is still unlikely to suppress the rise and speculation in housing prices, and this only solves the housing problem for regular employees of the Galaxy System, but people outside the Galaxy System have to bear the pressure of rising housing prices, and while they have to pay for it, they do not have the high income of the Galaxy System employees to support them.

This will sow the seeds of conflict between the stars and the locals, and then some people will vent their anger on the stars, thinking that it would be better for you not to come, because if you come they will not get any benefits but will have to pay a higher price.

If the supporting facilities of affordable housing are followed up and the proportion is actually increased, the local people will also benefit. The cost of living will be lower and the quality of life will be improved. Of course, they will not feel resentful towards the stars. Instead, they will be grateful that the stars have come to change the status quo and allow them to benefit from it. Instead of feeling resentful, they will become supporters.

Tian Jiayi couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid it's not that easy. After all, Bingcheng's current finances mainly rely on land transfer fees."

If the proportion of affordable housing is increased on such a large scale, commercial housing will be difficult to sell. If houses are difficult to sell or the profit is less, real estate companies will be less willing to acquire land, which will in turn hit the income from land transfer fees and affect a wide range of interests.

The most crucial thing is that the transfer of benefits will be greatly reduced, because Qunxing is also the dominant party and it is impossible for them to engage in such peace talks. It is even more impossible for such a thing to happen with Fang Hong around.

This is actually the biggest obstacle.

Fang Hongyun said calmly: "Just ask Bingcheng whether you want to become the next new city?"

The gap between Xincheng's current fiscal revenue and Bingcheng's is not calculated in multiples, but in orders of magnitude. The gap is more than fifteen times, and Xincheng has now completely gotten rid of the land finance model.

This is also the biggest reason why the game between Qunxing and Ice City can gain the initiative. To put it bluntly, once these companies from Qunxing lead their groups to move into Ice City, the city's fiscal revenue will soon soar like a rocket. Getting rid of the land finance model within five years is by no means an unattainable fantasy story, because the scale brought by this operation of Qunxing is terrifyingly large.

Tian Jiayi said thoughtfully: "It's hard to say. After all, some groups won't get any benefits from this, and the resistance should not be underestimated."

Hearing this, Fang Hong said calmly: "It is possible. Some things can be compromised, but some things cannot be compromised no matter what, just like the problem you mentioned. If it really doesn't work, we can change the location. If it's like this, we can use this as an excuse to ask the higher-ups to set up a special zone as a pilot and set aside an area for development from scratch. We are large enough, and we can develop a small town in a few years."

Fang Hong doesn't want to offend people everywhere, but if he has to choose between the bottom lines, he can only choose to offend people.

After a while, Fang Hong smiled and said, "This worst-case scenario is unlikely to happen. The higher-ups are watching. This is related to higher-level strategic planning and the future economic development of the Far East. The greater the local resistance, the more severe the consequences will be from the higher-ups using thunderous means."

This time, Qunxing Enterprises leads a delegation to enter the country with an important mission, which is to serve the future Far East grand strategy, and it means it has strong support from the country.

Even if Fang Hong proposed a pilot project for a special economic zone, it would most likely not be approved. The answer is simple: time!

Doing so will waste unnecessary time, and time waits for no one, and delaying will also bring potential uncertainties. These could have been avoided, but because there is resistance, the higher-ups will definitely choose to level out the resistance rather than adding time and cost to carry out some pilot project.

This concerns the five major security strategies of future national defense, food, industry, ecology, and energy. In the face of such a major event, no matter how great the local resistance is, it will be overwhelmed in an instant. Certain local forces, if they have any IQ, will not confront such major issues head-on. They must be cowardly when it is time to be cowardly, which is better than being reduced to ashes.

Again, the stars are not a small workshop, and not everyone can control them.

Finally, Tian Jiayi raised another question: "You plan to ask the companies that move in to provide free housing to directly hired employees. Have you considered this issue? Not every company is a large company like Xingyu Technology and Matrix Quantum. These companies naturally have no problem, but if more companies bear this expense, they will have great financial pressure."

Tian Jiayi added: "Also, employees in other cities and other galaxies who don't have this kind of treatment will definitely have complaints and thoughts in their hearts. They definitely want this kind of treatment, too."

There are so many companies under the Qunxing Group. Although star-level companies such as Xingyu Technology and Matrix Quantum do not have financial pressure, they are after all a very small minority. Other subsidiaries do not have such strength. Moreover, as a Qunxing Group company, it itself pays higher employee salaries than its peers, and this part of the cost is already not small.

As for why it can still be maintained, the answer is actually very simple.

Because galaxy enterprises do not have any hidden transfer of benefits, they have the confidence to say no, which saves a considerable amount of expenses. This is also why galaxy enterprises are not favored by certain interest groups, because they cannot get any benefits from galaxy enterprises.

Of course, most of the profits that a few people cannot grab can be transferred to their employees by the Galaxy Enterprises, so they can offer higher salaries than their peers.

Fang Hong said immediately after hearing this: "If we cut off the benefits to a few interest groups, we can get a lot of money to benefit the majority. There is financial pressure, but it is not to the extent of crushing the company. Don't listen to them crying poor, unless a few people intercept large-scale benefits and put them in their own pockets."

At this point, Fang Hong looked at the beautiful assistant and added: "The problem you mentioned has naturally been considered. For the employee welfare expenditure item, the subsidiary company pays a portion, and the parent company Qunxing also pays a portion and it is reflected in the asset income statement."

"In addition, all directly hired employees of Qunxing Enterprises can enjoy this welfare treatment. The welfare housing of all employees is also uniformly allocated to the parent company and belongs to Qunxing. It is managed in a unified manner to avoid management chaos and hidden cost surge caused by each subsidiary doing its own thing."

Tian Jiayi was slightly stunned and said, "This will at least increase the expenditure by tens of trillions..."

Fang Hong shrugged and said, "It is indeed a huge expense, but we don't lack the money. We have a lot of money. Besides, it's not like it has evaporated. The property is still under the name of Qunxing. It just becomes real estate. If necessary, we can pledge it to raise liquidity. Maybe it will appreciate in the future."
