Chapter: 5542

An Chongqiu spoke seriously, "Don't hide from you, Miss Song, the An family has already decided that they will stay in Jinling for a very long time to come and develop their business there. As such, the An family is currently planning to establish a new business center in Jinling, where half or more of our business will be transferred from America to Jinling."

"However, this process will at least take several years to implement step by step. The first stage is to acquire a large plot of land in Jinling and build an office center comparable in scale to Apple's headquarters building in California, with a total investment budget of no less than $8 billion. I heard that the Song family group has strong abilities and experience in commercial real estate development in Jinling, so if Miss Song doesn't mind, we'll entrust this project to the Song family group for actual development!"

"Eighty billion dollars?!" Song Wan Ting was extremely shocked and exclaimed, "Mr. An... this investment scale is unprecedented in Jinling's history! The largest commercial real estate project that the Song family group has undertaken so far is a single skyscraper with several auxiliary buildings and a large shopping center, with a total construction cost of no more than $500 million... an $80 billion project is impossible for the Song family group to even imagine..."

"Several billion dollars' worth of commercial real estate projects are unimaginable. Even if you look at it globally, such a project would be almost one in a thousand.

The Burj Khalifa in Dubai has a total construction cost of no more than $15 billion, and there's only Apple's headquarters building that exceeds $50 billion in total value.

For the An family, their overall strength may not surpass that of the Rockefeller family or the Saudi royal family, but compared to Apple, they still have an edge.

With $8 billion, we can build a small city-sized commercial real estate project in Jinling, and even if we were to relocate our entire headquarters there, we wouldn't need that much money.

However, before An Chongqiu came, the An family had already reached a consensus. Song Wan Ting was already close to the owner of Hualien, so when An Chongqiu came to see her, he naturally needed to bring out enough sincerity - at least $2-3 billion worth of projects to collaborate with the Song family and demonstrate his attitude.

And this $2-3 billion is just a bottom line."

The An family has already made up their minds, and if they can get Song Wan Ting to confirm that the owner of Hualien and the savior of the An family are one and the same person, then they would even more strongly express their sincerity to Song Wan Ting.

Eighty billion US dollars is not a small amount for the An family, although it's not as much as the Rockefeller family or Saudi royal family, but it's certainly not insignificant. After all, this is an investment, not just playing around.

Investing eighty billion US dollars, excluding land acquisition costs, would still leave at least sixty billion. If they were to entrust Song's Group with developing the entire project, Song's Group's net profit would likely be around ten billion, which alone would be quite substantial.

However, for Song's Group, ten billion in profit is not their top priority.

The most critical thing is that they will cooperate with the American An family on an eighty-billion-dollar commercial real estate project. As soon as this news breaks out, it will undoubtedly make Song's Group a sensation and may even cause a surge in their market value.

Leaf Chun had already given Song Wan Ting a heads-up earlier, telling her that the An family would definitely express sufficient sincerity to her. However, she couldn't help but be surprised when the An family suddenly offered them such a large project.

An Chongqiu saw Song Wan Ting's shock and disbelief, with a serious expression, saying: "Miss Song, Song's Group has already been involved in commercial real estate development for a long time. I believe you must understand that regardless of the scale of investment, the specific process of development is actually not too different. If Song's Group can handle an eighty-million-dollar project, they would definitely be able to handle an eighty-billion-dollar one."

Song Wan Ting recovered her composure and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. An, Jinling in Hualien is still a second-tier city or even a new first-tier city, with some distance from Suzhou and Hangzhou. Investing eighty billion US dollars in commercial real estate here is too big of a risk, isn't it?"

An Chongqiu laughed and said: "Jinling may only be a new first-tier city, but I have very high hopes for its future development. Who knows, maybe one day this place will become the focus of attention around the world."

Song Wan Ting asked, "Mr. An, why are you so optimistic about Jinling?"

An Chongqiu spoke seriously, "Miss Song, at the Spring Dan auction, I saw a kind of magic that can attract super-rich people. Currently, every city is looking for its unique positioning, just like in the United States. New York's feature is finance, San Francisco's is technology, Los Angeles' is manufacturing, Houston's is aerospace, and Detroit's was automotive manufacturing."

As he spoke, An Chongqiu said with confidence, "With Spring Dan as a backing, Jinling will definitely attract more and more international top-tier rich people in the future. This will allow Jinling to develop health and wellness into its core feature, making it possible for Jinling to become the world's number one city for health and wellness, which will greatly boost Jinling's economy and make it the fifth major city in China."

Song Wan Ting finally understood that An Family's perspective on this was in harmony with Ye Chen's.

Ye Chen initially held the Spring Dan auction to utilize its massive attraction power to draw super-rich people to Jinling. Not only did he want them to participate in the auction, but he also wanted to find ways to guide them to invest in Jinling.

Ye Chen had even prepared to develop a wellness real estate project in Jinling, allowing these top-tier rich people to spend a certain amount of time in Jinling every year to settle and rejuvenate.

Song Wan Ting was unaware that Ye Chen had previously planned to temporarily suspend the Spring Dan auction. However, for Ye Chen, this was only a temporary low-key measure, and once the potential risks were eliminated, he would definitely continue to expand and strengthen the Spring Dan auction.
