I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

"Oh, who was that? Turns out to be our good neighbor. Why is Mr. Norbert coming to Real-Car today? Is he here to have tea with me?" Chen Xi walked over at this time and shook hands with Norbert like an old friend.

"Haha, our Carsales stock price has soared. I'm very happy today, so I want to treat our good neighbors to a meal." Norbert waved behind him, and those people put the food and drinks in their hands on the table.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Norbert. It happens that we haven't had lunch yet!" Chen Xi did not refuse. Instead, he smiled and asked the employees to get it.

"Why don't you ask me why the stock price has risen so much?" Seeing that the other party had no curiosity on his face, Norbert couldn't help but ask Chen Xi in his ear.

"What's there to ask? It's just that you plagiarized my ideas when you were in Russia." Chen Xi pretended to be unwilling.

"Plagiarism? How can you use this word? Actually, I have thought of this idea a long time ago, but I just haven't done it yet." Norbert's expression at this time was very exaggerated.

"Oh, you came here today just to show off to me?"

"Hey, don't say that. I just came here to share my joy of victory with my old friend." Norbert patted Chen Xi's shoulder gently with a smirk on his face. That expression undoubtedly revealed his true thoughts.

"What are you going to do next? The stock price has already gone up. Are you going to cash out and run away?"

"What... Why do you think I'm that kind of person? This is the business thinking of you Chinese people. I'm engaged in a new industry. Driving up the stock price and running away is just the way speculators play. I'm a serious entrepreneur!"

"Oh?"

"Don't believe it? Go outside and take a look now. There are already new energy vehicles on the streets, and some places are even equipped with charging stations. My goal is to completely revolutionize the Australian car market!" Norbert's eyes sparkled.

Oh my! This guy is getting serious.

Chen Xi suddenly felt that the foreigner in front of him was inexplicably cute.

"Australia's land area is about 769 million square kilometers, and deserts account for more than 70%. Not counting other things, even the developed urban land has an area of ​​7.6 square kilometers. How much money do you need to popularize new energy vehicles?" Chen Xi began to teach Norbert.

"Haha, you don't need to worry about that. I have the support of the Minister of Energy. That's the advantage of being an Australian citizen!"

"Oh, Minister of Energy, you are going to be very rich."

"That's right. Now the government supports us to vigorously lay electric charging piles, and we will gradually replace fuel vehicles with electric vehicles in the future. This kind of super large project is not something you Real-Car can do. In the future, the market for fuel vehicles will gradually shrink, and your used car business will no longer exist. We are old acquaintances, and your company happens to be across from us. Carsales will definitely have a large number of employees in the future. Instead of building another office building somewhere else, I might as well directly acquire your company and site." Norbert gave Chen Xi an idea.

"Acquire us?" Upon hearing this, Chen Xi was stunned, and then laughed out loud.

"Why? New energy vehicles are the trend of the times. Are you still going to continue to put up a meaningless resistance? Let me tell you, if you agree to the acquisition now, I can still offer a very high price. As for the future... hehe..." Norbert snorted coldly when he saw that his kind words of advice were of no use at all.

"There are so many cars in Australia. I don't know how many years it will take to replace them all with trams. I'd better take this opportunity to make some money..."

"Hey, I won't give you a chance. Just watch, it won't be long before I achieve my goal. Remember what I told you today." Norbert pointed at him with great pride.

"Yeah, yeah, I remember. I remember." Chen Xi nodded perfunctorily.

Seeing that the other party was ungrateful, Norbert turned and left.

"This pizza tastes good. How was your chat?" Seeing that the host had left, Yuan Shuai came over with a box of food.

Picking up a piece of Domino's pizza and putting it in his mouth, Chen Xi said incoherently: "It's okay, I just stimulated him a little. I guess Carsales will go bankrupt much faster..."

"Ok?"

"I fooled him in Russia, and it turned out that this guy actually started developing new energy vehicles..." Chen Xi explained while eating.

"Then what are you going to do now?"

"What brand of trams are there now?"

"Most of them are Mitsubishi i-MiEVs. This car actually entered the Australian market in 2010, but there were only 48 cars at the time, and there were no charging stations. Car owners could only charge their cars at home..." Yuan Shuai replied.

Speaking of new energy vehicles in Australia, they actually appeared very early. Because all cars in Australia are imported, there are all kinds of cars from all over the world.

When the island country developed this car, some people in Australia thought it was quite interesting and ordered a few of them.

This Mitsubishi i-MiEV is much more powerful than those electric cars in China. It is equipped with a 16kWh lithium battery and has a range of 160km.

Among these 48 units, more than half were ordered by the Australian government, which is very intriguing.

According to my memory from my previous life, the Victorian government did conduct a pilot project on public charging stations this year, but the result was a failure.

Now that this gap has been filled by Carsales, Chen Xi’s mouth is almost crooked with smiles.

“How many Mitsubishi i-MiEVs are there on the market now?”

“There are probably hundreds of rough grinders.”

"We'll get a few for fun, too."

"What are you going to do with the tram?" Yuan Shuai was a little puzzled.

"Of course it's for rent." Chen Xi explained.

He remembered that in his previous life, the daily rental price of i-MiEV in Melbourne was nearly 200 Australian dollars.

It won't take long for you to get your money back by renting a car. Then you can package it and sell it to make another profit.

"What should I do after the rental is completed?"

"Of course I sold it."

"This electric car is not a fuel car. The battery life is there. I'm afraid no one will pay a high price to take it over..."

"Don't worry about that. There will definitely be someone who will take it. And this person just came here. Hehe."

"You mean Norbert? How could he buy your second-hand tram?"

"Just wait and see. I will let him take over when the time comes." Chen Xi covered his mouth and laughed.

Seeing that he was confident, Yuan Shuai didn't ask any more questions.

"Carsales' stock price has risen sharply. I feel unhappy when I see Norbert's arrogant look. On our side..." Lin Yu also came over at this time.

"Let him be proud for a while, and we will also prepare for the listing!"

"Ok?"

When they heard that Chen Xi was planning to go public, they were both stunned.

At night, the legendary billiard hall.

Gou Zi, Xiao Ming, Tian Gou, Matthew and others were talking and laughing around a table. Now the company is doing well and everyone has made money, so naturally they are all smiling.

Dongdong returned to China and prepared to take over the family's real estate and agricultural business. Xiao Ming was depressed for a long time because of this.

His friends left one by one, and there were not many people like him left in Australia.

"Now that our business is spread all over Australia, isn't it time to get ready for something bigger?" Gou Zi's goal was high, and he rubbed his hands excitedly at Chen Xi.

"Well, now we are preparing to go the international route. Let's try to expand our business to the nearby Xinxilan first." Chen Xi said as he hit a shot.

The two tables behind him were surrounded by people, all of whom were international students from Mo Village.

Chen Xi and others are now celebrities in Mo Village. Many people want to follow them or inquire about business tips, so they deliberately try to find opportunities around them.

"Okay." Gouzi clapped his hands when he heard that.

Chen Xi invited Tian Gou to come and play ball. The current Tian Gou is completely different from before.

He looks gentle and refined, and when he puts on a small suit, he looks like an elite.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Chen Xi asked after teeing off.

"No!" Tian Gou shook his head.

"You're not still thinking about Li Yuqing, are you? She has returned to her country." Chen Xi made a joke.

"I don't miss her anymore." Tian Gou blushed slightly.

It is unlikely to say that he doesn't miss her. After all, the memory Li Yuqing left on Tian Gou is too deep.

"The company is now big and will get bigger in the future. You are a trustworthy person. The future financial affairs of the group will be handed over to you and Xia Lian..." Chen Xi patted Tian Gou's shoulder.

"Group? Xia Lian?"

"Ah."

Tian Gou looked confused, while Chen Xi smiled and nodded.

Now that the company has grown, A-Lin and some of his Chinese friends from the Chamber of Commerce have become congressmen in various states. In his previous life, Chen Xi's company had the shadow of congressmen, so the business grew bigger and bigger. He planned to continue along the previous successful path in this life.

"Vice President, I am a member of the Returned Overseas Chinese Association. I have a project I want to do... but I don't know if it will work. Could you please check it out? I don't have any channels..." At this time, a boy's voice came from behind.

The other person is not very old and should have just been in college for one or two years.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Chen Xi looked at the man. He had a pale face and some acne on his face.

"My name is Miao Hao, and I'm a student at Didi University. I've heard that you, the vice president, are doing well in Australia... I want to work on a kitchen appliance modification project. Currently, all new apartments in Australia use induction cookers, but old apartments still use gas stoves. I read in the newspaper last time that the government will require all apartments to be replaced with induction cookers, so I did some research. There is a huge demand for apartments to replace gas stoves with induction cookers, and the charge is 400 per unit, which costs about 100 Australian dollars. The number of orders received in a CBD area in Melbourne is almost over a hundred... I'm studying the latest real estate major in Australia. The teacher said that house inspectors are now cooperating with banks and charging about 1000 dollars for professional house inspection services... And now the western district is undergoing a large-scale construction, and the price of tiles has risen by 20%..."

"It's quite interesting..." Chen Xi stroked his chin and listened with interest.

Since the real estate boom in Australia, many schools have opened this new major.

Those who study real estate will definitely have to find jobs after graduation, so more and more emerging professions related to this industry are born.

The salaries for professions such as property digitization consultant, blockchain property rights specialist, carbon neutrality certifier, regenerative building designer, real estate token issuance manager, and disaster recovery assessor are all very good.

However, these professions require professional qualification certification. For example, a house inspector needs a CPC40120 certificate, a PropTech analyst needs an AWS cloud architect certification, and a carbon neutral certified engineer needs a GHG Protocol accountant certificate.

Unlike in China, there are many ways to play real estate abroad.

For example, the real estate token issuance manager has the highest salary among these professions. The core job of the real estate token issuance manager is to transform the traditional real estate investment model through asset securitization technology.

First, we select mature commercial real estate or hotel assets in the city center, use the DCF model to calculate the cash flow for the next 10 years, and entrust a third-party agency to complete the building structure safety assessment and environmental compliance review. We give priority to high-quality assets with an annual net rental return rate of more than 5.5% and an average remaining lease term of more than or equal to 7 years.

The next step is to design an offshore SPV structure, which means registering a special purpose company (SPV) in the Cape Town or Singapore to hold property ownership, and controlling the entry and exit of funds through a domestic WFOE (wholly foreign-owned enterprise). The legal team simultaneously drafted a shareholder agreement to clarify the proportion of the token holder's beneficial rights to the SPV.

The ERC-3643 standard is used to design security tokens, splitting the total value of assets into several equal tokens, usually with a single token anchored at $1000 to $5000. A tiered income structure is set up, with Class A tokens enjoying priority dividend rights, Class B tokens participating in asset appreciation distribution, and Class C tokens carrying governance voting rights.

Then comes the development and deployment of smart contracts, which is to write smart contracts based on the Solidity language and embed an automated profit distribution mechanism.

The last step is declaration and global issuance. The issuer charges an underwriting commission of 4% to 7% and a liquidity service fee of 0.25% for each secondary market transaction...

If you want to talk about the most stable career, it would be carbon neutral certified engineer and regenerative building designer.

The work of carbon neutral certifiers revolves around the full life cycle management of carbon footprint. They collect original data on corporate energy consumption, supply chain transportation, waste disposal and other aspects on a daily basis, and use the EcoInvent international database and GHG Protocol accounting standards to establish digital models.

The implicit carbon emissions of each product unit are calculated through input-output analysis, and a step-by-step emission reduction plan is formulated in combination with industry benchmark values, such as using the marginal abatement cost curve (MACC) to prioritize the transformation of high-energy-consuming equipment. After completing the greenhouse gas inventory report, guide enterprises to purchase carbon credits that meet the GS4.0 or VCS standards, and complete the verification and certification through the blockchain registration system.

The work requires real-time tracking of global carbon trading market trends, assisting clients in optimizing carbon asset portfolios under the EU-ETS or Turkey-Australia CFI system, and using climate risk stress testing models to assess the impact of extreme weather on emission reduction paths.

The stability of this profession stems from the fact that various countries have enacted legislation to enforce climate information disclosure obligations. For example, the EU CSRD regulation requires companies to disclose carbon emissions along their value chains starting in 2014, and the demand for third-party certification is growing rigidly.

The core responsibility of a regenerative building designer is to achieve a closed-loop resource system throughout the building’s life cycle. Material passport technology is used from the design stage to accurately mark the recycled content and disassembly methods of each exterior wall panel.

Relying on the BIM system to simulate the building metabolism process, a hybrid energy network consisting of photovoltaic curtain walls and ground source heat pumps is deployed to ensure that more than 80% of the building's annual energy demand is supplied by renewable energy.

In terms of water resource management, the original gray and black water separation and treatment system has increased the reuse rate of grey water to over 95%, while integrating vertical green walls and permeable pavements to create a microclimate cycle.

LCA software is regularly used in the work to assess the embodied carbon intensity of buildings, and material formulas are iterated according to the Cradle to Cradle certification standard. For example, low-carbon concrete based on industrial waste is developed (reducing CO emissions by 420kg per cubic meter).

The sustainable advantage of recycled building designers is rooted in the global trend of mandatory green building certification. For example, the Australian NCC standard requires all new homes to meet seven-star energy efficiency standards since 2014, and the government provides companies with tax credits of up to 30% for using recycled building materials.

In general, doing real estate in Australia is not as simple as building and selling houses. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to keep up with the times and carry out reforms.

Chen Xi's company needs people with new knowledge to join, otherwise it will be eliminated by the market sooner or later if it remains unchanged.

"Find some time to come to my company for tea, and bring a few top students from the same major with you."

"Ok."

Seeing Chen Xi inviting him, Miao Hao clenched his fists excitedly.

Opportunities come to those who are prepared, and Miao Hao was obviously well prepared, which made many people around him look envious.

After someone took the lead, many brave people also came forward to recommend themselves.

Suddenly, the billiard hall became a recruitment site, which surprised everyone. (End of this chapter)
