The Legendary Story of Tanren (3)
After Qian Town's financing, Qian Ren suddenly decided to buy 1,000 mu of land in the eastern suburbs of Q City, and had to complete all the procedures for requisitioning the land within 23 days, including loan operations. Due to Qian Town's tight funds on the account, despite having many enterprises, most of them were not profitable.
At that time, Qian Ren personally ran to various units such as the Land Bureau, Planning Bureau, Economic Commission, Science and Technology Commission, and Environmental Protection Agency, and finally completed all the necessary procedures for requisitioning the land on the last day of the 23-day deadline. Just when the 1,000 mu of land had become part of Qian Town Enterprise Group Co., Ltd., a red-headed document suddenly appeared, announcing that tens of square kilometers of land in the eastern suburbs of Q City would be allocated for the "Oriental Automobile World", "Q City Building Materials Market" and "Famous Brand Shopping Mall".
In an instant, the value of the land skyrocketed, with each mu priced at 178,000 yuan. The 1,000 mu of land requisitioned by Qian Town was located in a prime location among the three major markets, but they had only paid 75,000 yuan per mu. On the day the red-headed document was released, the villagers who had sold their land cried out that they had been cheated, instantly losing 100 million yuan! Those villagers had no idea that this land would become a large market because the information was too confidential.
Only high-ranking officials knew about it in advance. The village cadres who were cheated asked Qian Ren if he had known in advance that this place would be designated as a large market and that the land price would rise. Or, why did the land transaction just happen to coincide with the surge in land prices?
Pan Ren patted his chest and said, "I'm just like you, you're a rural cadre, I'm also a rural cadre, we pee to the same height, and there's no horn on my head. You don't know what I don't know! Not to mention our level of local officials, even the mayor doesn't know, do you? This is called luck."
Town head Hao Zhong, who was running errands with Pan Ren, chimed in and said: "You can say it's luck, but not all of it is luck. What is it? It's level, it's vision, it's Secretary Pan's ability. Two years ago, he had already set his sights on your 1,000 mu of land and had designed various projects for it."
He's too busy to care about the operation, he doesn't know that the land price will rise here, I can prove it, he just said that this place will be bustling soon, it's going to open soon, good feng shui, haha...
It doesn't matter whether it was Pan Ren's foresight or if he had received reliable insider information. What matters is that Pan Town really made a huge profit, and in just a few days, the value of 1,000 mu of land increased by 100 million! The land only stayed in Pan Town for three months before being resold, with 800 mu being sold off, clearing the previous loan used to buy the land, and still leaving so much money, tens of millions of yuan, and even gaining an additional 200 mu of land. It's truly amazing, Pan Ren's prestige suddenly soared in the hearts of the people of Pan Town.
Some people sincerely wanted to learn from Puan's experience in developing the economy, so they tried every means to ask Puan for advice. Puan was a man of principle and generally did not speak much unless he met someone with a truly respectful attitude and a very sincere heart, then he would pass on the true teachings, which were eight words: I am for everyone, everyone is for me. His explanation was: If I have others in my heart first, others will naturally have me in their hearts, if I do things for everyone, everyone will naturally do things for me.
These classics, even if they are passed on, others will not be able to learn them, because they are too principled and too general. Only those with extremely good intuition can achieve results by learning from them.
Naturally, this principle of "I am for everyone and everyone is for me" has produced an extraordinary effect on Qian Ren. People around Qian Ren say that except for giving birth to children, he can accomplish anything. The reason why they have such high praise for him is not because his colleagues are flattering or boasting. For example, the story of how Qian Zhen created a train station out of thin air is proof of this.
Originally, Qianzhen was not adjacent to the railway because Qianzhen is located on the south bank of Fuzhou River, and the Lanzhou-Lianyungang Railway, which runs east-west across China, passes through the north bank of Fuzhou River. Nowadays, running an enterprise without a train station with a name that matches the goods being transported would be very inconvenient. More importantly, it affects credibility. Railways are after all the largest transportation industry, especially for freight, and its throughput is unmatched by cars and airplanes. Moreover, if a place doesn't even have a railway connection, it's indeed a pity.
The people of Qianzhen are good at turning regrettable things into non-regrettable ones. Of course, it was Mr. Qian's idea. After investigation, he found that the nearest place where the railway passes through is Xiao Rang Village, which has the natural conditions for building a train station. Xiao Rang Village is an administrative village in Dabiao Township, Beidao County, on the north bank of Fushui River. Even if a train station were built there, it should be called Dabiao Township Station, shouldn't it? That's clearly someone else's territory, how can it be called Qianzhen Train Station? This simple and clear conclusion would not have been controversial.
