(Thanks to friend mochaX2 for the reward and encouragement, and thanks to friends luciferfiend and reverse black and white 2037 monthly pass for encouragement)

The sheep in the pasture were roasted by Liu Heming himself, so the taste is of course impeccable.

While I was eating, TC gave me a notice that another customer came today, and the identity of the person who came was very interesting, Michael from Citibank.

All this surprised Liu Heming. If he didn't know, he would have thought that Partridge and Michael had made an appointment.

"Michael, there must be something to do here so late. Let me guess, are you also here to invite me to apply for your bank's black card?" Liu Heming joked after Michael entered the room.

"You guessed right. I really came here this time to invite you to be the cardholder of our Citibank Supreme Black Card." Michael didn't joke, but nodded directly.

"No, what on earth are you guys doing? You don't usually meet people, but now you are asked to apply for a card when you meet. If you don't know, you may think you are a credit card salesman." Liu Heming said dumbfounded.

"Dexter, I have something important to do here this time. Our Citibank has decided to open a first-tier branch in Xiangshui Town. Who can we talk about related matters?" Michael continued.

"I welcome this matter, so I'll apply for your bank's black card by the way, and you won't let me waive the annual fee." Liu Heming said enthusiastically, holding Michael's shoulder.

"I need to talk to Suzanne about the location of the branch. Don't worry about it now. We are eating roasted whole lamb, and you should fill your stomach first, and then we can talk about it."

In his eyes now, Michael was much cuter than Partridge.Citibank is a serious person. With Citibank's presence, the advantages of Xiangshui Town can be expanded, not to mention that Citibank plans to set up a first-level branch.

"Dexter, is this too obvious?" Seeing Liu Heming enthusiastically cutting up Michael's meat, Partridge asked slightly depressed.

"Haha, it's not my fault, who told you that the fuck hasn't made a formal decision yet. As the first bank in Xiangshui Town, of course I have to take good care of Michael." Liu Heming shrugged his shoulders, not hiding it at all.

"Michael, why did you remember coming here today?" Partridge asked Michael again.

"Of course I came here because I saw you coming. I've been on a plane for a long time, and this roasted whole lamb tastes really good." Michael said with a smile, and he didn't hide anything.

In fact, it is useless for them to hide.Everyone's identities are here, and sometimes some things are better to just put them out and talk about them.

Moreover, Liu Heming had promised them before that there would only be two of their banks in Xiangshui Town, so it didn't matter who came first and who would come later. They were all interested in the future of Xiangshui Town.

"Are you making a lot of money opening a bank?" Liu Heming asked curiously after joking for a while.

"Of course, opening a bank is very profitable, but it is also very risky." Partridge nodded with a smile.

"Banks are most susceptible to the impression of the world's economic conditions, and banking business is also involved in many fields. If any one goes wrong, it will easily affect the entire industry."

"Is there a banking industry that can make money without losing money? I also plan to try it out. At least it can bring me some pocket money. The funds are a little tight now, and you have to pay the annual fee for your black card. .” Liu Heming said.

"Dexter, don't be miserable here, okay?" Michael said helplessly.

When chatting just now, he also figured out what the annual fee waiver meant.He couldn't understand how Liu Heming could care about such a small annual fee.

"Dexter, open a safe bank. I think if you can build a good vault, someone will send you precious items to store." Kroenke said.

"Is the profit of this high?" Liu Heming turned his head to look at Michael and asked curiously.

"Of course it's very high. The cost of renting a safe consists of rent, deposit, fee for signing an agreement, and the number of times you use the safe." Michael said with a smile.

"A large vault will always have tens of thousands of safes, large and small. Even if the smallest safe costs $50 a year, the annual rent alone is a lot of money."

Liu Heming calculated it in his mind, then shook his head, "The profit is still too low. Even if there are 100 safes, the annual income is only [-] million US dollars. I buy equipment and hire security personnel, and the money is not good. Earn it back."

"It's better for me to farm. My annual income from a greenhouse can be almost earned through hard work, and it's very worry-free. It seems that I have no chance to earn this money, so I can only give it to you."

Both Partridge and Michael rolled their eyes a little bit, can the score be settled like this?Is there anyone in the world whose pasture farm products are as expensive as yours?

And the safe business is only a subsidiary business of the bank, otherwise what would such a large treasury be doing idle.Even $100 million is not a small number.

However, they complained in their hearts, and from Liu Heming's words just now, they can be sure of one thing, that is, the profits of Liu Heming's agricultural products are really high.

A greenhouse makes a profit of 100 million US dollars a year, and the greenhouses in his ranch are now a large area. How much does this cost?What if he builds more in the future?

In fact, they all know that Liu Heming's ranch can make money, but they didn't pay much attention to these greenhouses in the past, and only focused on products such as truffles and morels.

Now I have a general understanding of the income of Liu Heming's ranch. If the income of the greenhouse can reach such a high level, the income of other items on the ranch will probably not be low.

After dinner, Liu Heming brought out some fruits, which were actually strawberries, cantaloupe and watermelon.At present, there are only these three in the pasture, and it is not easy to use tomatoes to make up the number.

"Partridge, you **** have to work hard. If possible, I think it would be better for the three parties to make a joint announcement." Liu Heming said with a smile after putting down the fruit plate.

"Although there is competition between your two banks, we have the same wish for the goal of developing Xiangshui Town. As long as Xiangshui Town is developed well, I can collect more taxes here, and your business will also A lot. For us, only when Xiangshui Town really develops can we all make money."

"You still care about those taxes? What you care about most is the rent of those properties, right? The profits are very high every year." Michael said with a smile.

"Even if the tax is not much, I still care about it. It will increase more and more. The real estate rent collected is only a fixed number, so there is no joy in seeing no growth." Liu Heming said with a smile.

"Dexter, how does Xiangshui Town plan to collect rent in the future?" Partridge asked curiously.

"Like your two banks, as well as Wal-Mart, Tajita, and Hyatt Hotel Group, they are all my most important partners, so I just sell you the land." Liu Heming said with a smile.

"But I plan to rent those shops at 500-900 US dollars per square foot a year, which is not very high, at most it can be squeezed into the top ten levels in the world."

"Dexter, is it too high? Will the consumption power of Xiangshui Town be able to support it in the future?" Michael asked with a frown.

"It should be about the same, and when Xiangshui Town starts operating, there will be some discounts on rent in the first two years, and it will return to normal standards in the third year." Liu Heming said.

"Although my place is not as prosperous as the upper section of Fifth Avenue, Causeway Bay in Hong Kong, and Champs Elysees in Paris, New Bond Street in London, Xiangshui Town in the future will be built into a high-end living area."

"The reason why luxury goods are called luxury goods is because the prices of these goods are unaffordable for ordinary people. But in the future, if the population level of Xiangshui Town is higher and the income level of people is higher, Are these luxuries still luxuries?"

"The rent on Fifth Avenue is more than 3000 US dollars, and Hong Kong's Causeway Bay is also more than 2000 US dollars per year. Compared with them, the rent here is much cheaper."

"And don't forget that my place will also be a good place for tourists in the future. If we build playgrounds or other entertainment projects in the future, we can attract more people to come to my place."

"As long as you come here in the future, you will be able to taste world-class food, the most interesting entertainment items, beautiful scenery that cannot be found elsewhere, extraordinary experiences, and enjoy shopping to the fullest."

"Do you think the maximum rent in such an area is not more than 900 US dollars, is it still high? Actually, I really want to work hard to get up to [-] US dollars, but I have to slowly cultivate merchants to settle in."

"Dexter, I take back what I said this afternoon. If this is really possible, I don't think there will be any financial pressure on the future development of Xiangshui Town." Partridge said with a wry smile.

After chatting in the afternoon, it is estimated that the overall development funds of Xiangshui Town will exceed 300 billion US dollars, because the expenditure of universities occupies most of it.

But thinking about it now, for Liu Heming, this number seems to be really stress-free.As long as the construction of Xiangshui Town is completed, this place will become Jinwowo.

What Liu Heming just envisioned can be realized.At the very least, the Rainbow Lake can be regarded as a world-class landscape. If he improves it with supporting facilities, it will be much more attractive to tourists.

Regardless of which brand store, the key factor to measure the business prospects of a place is tourists.Only when there are more tourists can sales be promoted.

Looking at it this way, Liu Heming's rental price is not too outrageous, and it is within an acceptable range.And how big is the commercial area of ​​Xiangshui Town after planning?With such a large construction area, Liu Heming will be crazy to generate profits every year.
