High-end residential project

"No!"

Chen Mo looked at Mei Yun and slowly shook his head.

"It's not that the budget is too much, but that the budget is too little."

"How could the Complex I want to build be mid-range? It must be high-end. 700 million in funds is too little; it's simply not enough to build a high-end property."

With such a small budget, how could he exhaust all of his System Funds in one go?

"I don't know, what is Chen Mo's budget?"

Mei Yun asked curiously after hearing Chen Mo's words.

"1.7 billion."

Chen Mo said softly.

"1.7 billion."

Hearing this, Mei Yun couldn't help but exclaim. Jumping directly from 700 million to 1.7 billion—such a high leap was something he hadn't expected.

However, he quickly reacted and looked up at Chen Mo.

"Chen Mo, even if we are building a high-end Complex, we won't need 1.7 billion in funds."

He had roughly estimated the budget for building a high-end Complex before; according to the current construction standards of those large developers, 1 billion in funds was already enough.

"No, the high-end I'm talking about is different from the high-end you're talking about. I want the cream of the crop among high-end. It's different from the common high-end you mentioned."

"I want to build a unique Complex. Needless to say, the construction materials must all be high-end. I don't want any corner-cutting."

"In the construction of this Complex, what I want is not cost savings, but safety and quality. The foundation should be as solid as possible. Use the highest strength steel, cement, and bricks for construction."

Chen Mo tapped his fingers lightly and explained his plans in detail.

These things had already been thought out beforehand.

Mei Yun nodded slightly upon hearing Chen Mo's explanation, but there was still a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"Chen Mo, if these are the only requirements, we might still not need 1.7 billion in funds."

"I haven't finished yet."

Chen Mo swept a faint glance at Mei Yun, who had interrupted.

Seeing this, Mei Yun hurriedly shut his mouth and remained quiet.

"What I just mentioned were only the requirements for construction quality, which are also the most basic requirements. What comes next is the key point."

"That is the layout of the Complex. Currently, this unfinished building site is planned for 10 buildings, which I feel is a bit too dense. Let's do this: for the new property construction, let's change it to eight buildings. This way, the distance between the buildings will be much larger, and some lighting issues for the lower floors can also be solved."

"And in the extra space, we can build other facilities, for example: a residential community center. Inside the community center, we can provide some entertainment facilities, fitness equipment, basketball courts, badminton courts, children's playgrounds, swimming pools, etc."

"Let's do this: build a community building and put all the entertainment venues into this community building."

"Also, for the greening of the Complex, we must ensure that the greening rate is above 70%. And this greening isn't just about throwing in some lawns and trees; we need to find a professional landscaping designer to carry out a professional design."

Chen Mo spoke slowly. Changing 10 buildings to 8 was also a precautionary measure because he was worried that the property he was building would become a hit in the future.

Although the possibility of it becoming a hit was not high—after all, after building according to his requirements, the future selling price would definitely be very high—an undeveloped area combined with a high price…

And the greening and construction quality of the Complex definitely couldn't be publicized.

This would fundamentally prevent those grassroots employees in society from being able to afford houses here, and wealthy people, without knowing the construction quality of these buildings, wouldn't think about buying a house here either.

But one can never be too careful.

If one day this Complex really did become a hit, then having two fewer buildings could reduce some income.

Listening to Chen Mo's explanation, Mei Yun's eyes gradually filled with a trace of shock.

If it were built like this, this Complex could be said to be the high-end of high-end, but it still didn't seem to require 1.7 billion in funds.

Was it just an extra community building and some landscaping?

Thinking this, he didn't ask, because Chen Mo had already started speaking again.

"There's also the layout of the units. The floor area of one building here is around 500 square meters, with two elevators and four households, one large unit type and one small unit type."

"I don't think this meets the requirements of a high-end residential Complex. It must be changed. Change it from two elevators and four households to two elevators and two households, with each unit having an area of about 200 square meters."

"And since it's a high-end Complex, our decoration must naturally be upscale, ensuring that after the homeowners buy the house, they can move in with just their bags."

"And the decoration cannot be like other finished properties. The decoration of those properties only has one style per unit type, just like copy-pasting. There is no independent personality, so this is not what I need."

"For these eight buildings, the decoration style of every Room must be different, and the decoration materials and furniture must all be high-quality."

"Hmm… Discuss the decoration matters with Wang Yang. After all, this is also a major project. The decoration design for the eight buildings also requires him to make preparations in advance. Once the buildings are constructed, we can directly decorate them according to his design."

"Finally, there's the height of the floors. 35 floors is too high; 25 floors is more appropriate. Don't build them that high."

"There's also the matter of property management. Since it's a high-end Complex, I don't trust other property management companies. We need to set up our own property management and build a high-quality, high-service property management team."

Chen Mo picked up the water cup on the side and took a slow sip, his gaze falling on Mei Yun, who was sitting across from the desk.

"That's about it. I will directly transfer the 1.7 billion in System Funds to the construction company's account. As for how to allocate it, that's your business."

"My only requirement is not to save money. A high-end Complex must be built to look like a high-end Complex. If the funds are insufficient, you can come and report at any time; the Group will appropriately increase investment."

"I understand, Chen Mo."

Mei Yun nodded absent-mindedly.

In his mind, he was still recalling Chen Mo's requirements for the construction of the high-end Complex, especially the matter of the final decoration.

Requiring every Room to have a different decoration style.

This was the first time he had heard such a decoration requirement. This was too extravagant.

After a while, Mei Yun gradually came back to his senses, his throat moved a couple of times, and he slowly said.

"Chen Mo, since the Complex is built to be so high-end, how should we price the houses?"

He now had a worry: how much should such a high-end Complex be priced at?

After all, 1.7 billion had already been invested. Eight buildings, two elevators and two households, 25 floors.

That was 400 households in total.

Then at least one unit had to be sold for 4.5 million to break even.

That meant it had to be 25,000 per square meter.

At this price, plus this geographical location, would anyone really buy it?
