Chapter 408: Building the World’s Largest Retail Company
Outside the Second Ring Road and within the Third Ring Road, the price per square meter is five hundred to seven hundred yuan; outside the Third Ring Road, it is four hundred to five hundred yuan per square meter.

As for storefronts, the price is even higher, basically about three times the price of nearby houses.

It can be said that Li Jiayi is very rich now. Let’s put it this way! His assets in China alone are at least 30 billion.

This only refers to the cash in his hands and the assets under his name, not the antiques, gold and other things in the space.

As for other things, there are even more. In 1985, Li Jiayi and Long Ye went to the Japanese country.

He withdrew more than 130 billion US dollars from the Japanese stock market, real estate, etc. Yes, more than 130 billion.

However, this money has not yet entered the country and is currently kept in a Swiss bank.

Although there is no interest on depositing money in a Swiss bank, this time is different from later generations. In later generations, not only do Swiss banks not earn interest, but you also have to pay money to the bank.

But it is not like that in this era. In this era, there is just no interest and you don’t need to pay money to the bank.

In fact, it doesn’t matter even if they give a little. You have to know that in 1985, one US dollar was less than three RMB.

But by the 1990s, one US dollar could be exchanged for more than eight RMB!

This is also a huge amount of interest!

Let’s put it this way, if he brought back this 130 billion US dollars to China now, it would only be equivalent to less than 400 billion RMB.

But after a few years, this will be more than 1 trillion RMB, which is a huge difference.

This time in the Japanese country, not only Li Jiayi made money, but so did Long Ye.

This time, Lord Long also took back more than ten billion from the Japanese.

In terms of proportion, Long Ye earned more than Li Jiayi, because Li Jiayi only earned about twenty times, but Long Ye earned more than thirty times in total.

This is normal because Li Jiayi has too much money!

Let me put it this way! It is easy to make 10,000 yuan from 1 yuan, but it is not so easy to make 1 million yuan from 10,000 yuan.

One is ten thousand times, the other is only a hundred times, so the more money you have, the slower you make money.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

Let’s put it this way, Li Jiayi is definitely the richest man now, with total assets of more than 140 billion US dollars.

This does not even include the antiques and gold in the space.

However, the company in which he serves as the legal representative currently only has restaurants, and even the fast food restaurant does not have him as the legal representative.

Therefore, his wealth will not appear on any rankings, and his name will not appear either domestically or abroad.

Now we are going to open a supermarket, and 65 stores are being renovated at the same time.

Of course, these 65 stores are not only in the imperial capital, because there are only two stores in the imperial capital.

The remaining sixty-three are spread across the country, with one in each provincial capital.

There are two in each municipality, and the rest are all in some more developed prefecture-level cities in the south.

Of course, these sixty-three stores are only the first phase, and there will be second, third and fourth phases to come.

It’s not that he doesn’t have money, but it’s rather troublesome to renovate so many stores at the same time.

Decorate the first phase first, and then the second phase. Anyway, he has no plans to open the business now.

The store was not opened until after the market economy in 1988, and now we are just renovating the store.

Li Jiayi has already made up his mind that when the market economy begins, there should be at least 500 supermarkets across the country.

As for there will be more in the future, he runs a national chain of supermarkets.

Those who don’t join the franchise have to pay for it all by themselves.

Anyway, he is not short of money. He is the only one who paid the money, but the shares do not belong to him alone.

His parents, wife, and three children all have shares, but they don’t own much.

His parents and wife each own 10 percent, his three children each own 5 percent, and he owns 55 percent.

The reason for this is that he wants to have complete control over the supermarket in his own hands.

As a person who was reborn in the future, he knows better than anyone what the retail industry will look like in the future.

You should know that in later generations, the world’s number one company is in the retail industry, yes, it is Walmart.

Li Jiayi has already made up his mind. He wants to open supermarkets in every corner of the country.

Not only big cities, but every small county town must have one, not to mention big cities.

Warehouses are also being built at the same time as supermarkets. He plans to build 31 large warehouses in the country.

Not only every province, every autonomous region, but also every municipality must have a warehousing center covering an area of ​​more than one million square meters.

This is called being rich and willful. Of course, this is only the case now. If it were in the future, if one wanted to build these things, let alone the houses, even if he invested all his wealth, it would probably not be enough just to buy the land.

But now, it doesn’t cost much money at all.

What are the prices like now? A storefront within the second ring road of the capital costs only about 3,000 yuan per square meter.

This will cost at least several hundred times more in the future, so if you spend 100 million now, you will have to spend tens of billions in the future.

Let me put it this way, a house built with 10 billion now will cost at least tens of trillions in the future.

This is also the reason why Li Jiayi is so determined to open stores all over the country.

What we need to do now is to buy land and build houses in various cities across the country, and then renovate them.

Of course, he would not build high-rise buildings. The houses he built were at most five stories high, with an additional underground parking lot.

Yes, he has taken future generations into consideration. This underground parking lot may be of no use now, but what about in ten or twenty years?

Not only underground, there is also a large piece of vacant land on the ground. Anyway, land is cheap now, so it would be a good idea to buy more land and save it for building a parking lot in the future.

So Li Jiayi was very busy during this period, and he didn’t even accompany his daughter and younger son to take the college entrance examination.

Because I travel all over the country every day and can’t stay in each place for more than a few days.

Fortunately, although many supermarkets are still under construction or renovation, there are already quite a few employees.

Now there are dozens of people in every province and municipality. These employees’ daily work is to find land, buy land, build buildings, etc.

Regardless of whether it is built now or not, the land must be acquired in advance. Unfortunately, there are many cities in the country that he has not visited and he does not know the direction of future development.

Otherwise it would be easier to buy land, but he also has a stupid way, which is to buy land next to the current city.

Of course, this is when there is currently no place to buy in the city. To put it bluntly, it is a place left for construction after the city develops in the future.

After rushing around, I finally returned to the capital before my daughter and younger son started school.

He was not there when the children took the college entrance examination, but now that they are going to school, he cannot be away.

Li Jiayi is still relatively low-key. Since 100, his car has been an Audi , and it is still the same today.

Although Audi 100 is not cheap in this era, it can still be found on the streets in the imperial capital.

Not only that, there are more expensive ones, but he didn’t change them because he felt this car was pretty good.

“Boss, are we going home or to the company?” the driver asked as soon as we entered the imperial capital.

“Let’s go home! You’ve been out for such a long time, now that you’re back you must go home first.”

“Good boss.”

It took almost two hours for the Audi to stop at the gate of Yard No. 7.

Yes, the family still lives here.

It is not difficult for him to have food! Li Jiayi owns 70 to 80 courtyard houses, and the smallest one has two courtyards covering nearly 1,000 square meters.

But their family did not move.

Not only did their family not move, but also Liao Kai, Nan Yi and He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu still lived in Li Jiayi’s house, which was now his own. Yes, he bought it out.

In theory, neither Liao Kai nor He Yuzhu are short of houses now.

Although Liao Kai and his two friends don’t have a courtyard house, they have quite a few buildings, and each of them has several houses under their name.

Yes, the three of them are not short of money. They now earn four to five thousand yuan every month, not including bonuses.

Let me put it this way, with their current income, they can buy two houses of about 100 square meters within the Second Ring Road in a year.

It is definitely considered a super high income, at least in the country.

The driver parked the car and Li Jiayi got out.

“Xiao Wu, you should go back and rest too!”

“Okay boss, call me when you need a car.”

“Ok!”

The driver Xiao Wu drove away because it was convenient this way. If Li Jiayi needed a car, he could just make a call and Xiao Wu would come immediately without any delay.

Li Jiayi went in carrying a briefcase. The reason he carried the briefcase was that he wanted to carry his mobile phone.

Li Jiayi is not like others. He has a mobile phone that he wishes he could hold in his hand 24 hours a day.

He only takes it out of his bag when he needs it, and usually keeps it in his bag.

Not only does he have this thing, but everyone in the family has it, including his driver.

Although this thing is expensive, it is really convenient. Of course, the most expensive thing is the phone bill.

For a mobile phone like Li Jiayi, the monthly phone bill is more than 5,000 yuan. To be honest, it’s really a rip-off.

But there is no way, this is how it is now, you can just not pay for it!

Having said that, people who can afford a mobile phone nowadays basically have money.

“Mom, I’m back.”

Li Jiayi, who is already 39 years old, is still like a child. As soon as he enters the house, he must call “Mom” first.

“You little brat, you still remember to come back.” Dad’s voice came from the house.

Yes, my dad is retired now, and when he has nothing to do every day he plays chess and chats with the old men in the courtyard.

“Dad, are you home alone? Where’s my mom?” Li Jiayi asked before entering the house when he didn’t hear his mother’s voice.

“Your mother went to buy groceries, Jiang!”

Li Jiayi shook his head and pushed the door open to come into the room.

Sure enough, Dad and Uncle Qian were playing chess in the house. As for why they were playing in the house, it was of course because there was air conditioning in the house!
Not only that, you can play chess in the house and drink tea at the same time, how comfortable it is!

“Is Plus One back?”

“Yes, Mr. Qian.”

Uncle Qian retired several years ago. If his daughter Qian Meilin hadn’t still lived in this courtyard, he would have moved out long ago.

It’s a good thing that he didn’t move away, because he bought out the house he lives in now.

Now the house he lives in has become his own, not only that, he has also bought an apartment outside.

Li Jiayi even suspected that the reason he bought out the house he was living in now was because it was cheap.

You know, it only costs one-third of the price to buy out this house! You’d be a fool not to buy it.

“Your business is getting bigger and bigger!”

Others in the hospital may not know how big Li Jiayi’s business is, but Uncle Qian knows!

Because he is He Yuzhu’s father-in-law, they often talk about him during conversations.

“No, no, I’m just making a small fuss.”

“A small fight? If you’re just doing a small fight, I guess there won’t be anyone who can do big business.”

Li Jiayi touched his nose, not knowing how to respond, so he said, “Dad, Uncle Qian, you guys play chess, I’ll go upstairs to take a shower and change clothes.”

“Go ahead! Don’t disturb me playing chess with your uncle Qian.”

“Oh!”

Li Jiayi came upstairs, closed the door, and immediately entered the space.

It was not time to collect supplies yet, so he took a shower as soon as he entered the space.

After changing clothes, I turned on the air conditioner in the bedroom and lay directly on the bed.

Running outside is really tiring!
This time he comes back, he will have a good rest for a while. At least he doesn’t plan to go out again before returning to the country.

I fell asleep without realizing it.

He was woken up by Lin Ling’er because it was time for dinner.

“dad!”

“dad!”

When his daughter and younger son saw him coming down from upstairs, they hurried over.

Although my daughter and youngest son are about to go to college, don’t forget that they are actually only fourteen years old and are still children.

“Oh, that’s good. They both got into college.” Li Jiayi stretched out his hands and rubbed the cheeks of his daughter and younger son respectively.

“Okay, go wash your hands first, dinner will be served soon.” Lin Ling’er said with a smile.

Of course she was the happiest that Li Jiayi could come back, after all, he had been away for several months!

As the saying goes, a short separation makes the heart grow fonder, and this is indeed the case with the two of them now.

“Yes! I’ll go right away.”

As soon as I came out of the house, I met my mother who was carrying dishes and preparing to go to the main room.

“You little bastard, you’ve been out for months, and you still remember to come back.”

“Mom, what you said is true. This is my home. How could I not know to come back?”

“Stop being so joking and go wash your hands.”

“it is good.”

“Dad, can you take me to school?” The daughter suddenly asked when they arrived at the pool.

“Of course! Do you want dad to take you there?”

“Yeah!” The girl nodded repeatedly.

“Since you want Dad to send you off, then Dad will send you off.”

“Dad, what about me?” the youngest son also asked.

“See you all off, your mother and I will go see you off when you report for duty.”

“Yeah, that’s great.”

“My daughter, my son, remember this: when you get to school, you won’t bully others, but if someone bullies you, you should fight back.”

This was the second time Li Jiayi said something like this. The first time was before his eldest son went to college.

“I understand, Dad. Don’t worry! If anyone dares to bully me, I will beat them up.”
