After spending half an hour, Jiang Ye and Xu Yan finalized the complete development plan.
The hot spring area was divided into two parts.
One half was developed into a hot spring resort area, where tourists could enter by purchasing tickets priced at three thousand yuan, with unlimited time. It also included配套 hotels and dining facilities, which were charged separately.
The other half was developed into a luxury residential area, with 16 three-story villas of large area, each with its own hot spring in the courtyard. The design featured glass curtain walls from the courtyard walls to the villas. Each luxury home was priced at two hundred million yuan, with an estimated profit of one hundred and sixty million yuan after deducting costs.
Additionally, a photovoltaic power station was to be built to ensure sufficient electricity.
As for the riverside, a water purification plant would be constructed. Although the river water was clean, it still needed secondary purification to become potable water, which would then be transported through underground pipelines to the distant new military base and resort area.
The entire project required seven hundred million yuan, but Jiang Ye did not have much money on hand at the moment.
Therefore, the final agreed-upon cooperation terms were:
All construction would be funded by Baiyi Real Estate, with Jiang Ye not contributing any funds.
Upon completion, the military base and one residence would belong to Jiang Ye. Jiang Ye would also receive 30% of the monthly profits from the resort area.
Xu Yan and Jiang Ye promptly signed the contract. Both parties were satisfied with these cooperation terms. Baiyi Real Estate would gain substantial future profits, while Jiang Ye would essentially acquire a military base and a luxury residence for free, in addition to receiving monthly income.
Since becoming wealthy, Jiang Ye had not owned a truly good house. Living in the base vehicle constantly was not a sustainable long-term solution, so he decided to keep one luxury residence for himself this time.
Although the development plan was excellent, Jiang Ye estimated that it would be difficult to recoup the investment in the short term.
The vast majority of colony governors were still in the phase of working hard to supplement their household income. Food expenses consumed most of their savings, leaving them with no disposable income for hot springs.
Luxury homes were even more out of the question; at two hundred million yuan per unit, they were practically unaffordable.
This was one of the reasons Jiang Ye was willing to give up a significant portion of the profits.
After signing the contract, Jiang Ye returned to the base vehicle.
As usual, he checked various information.
[Jiang Ye Autonomous Region / Development Index 3300 / Rank 9808]
The development index and ranking had both slightly increased. There had been no new construction recently, which should be related to economic development and afforestation. Isabel's tree-planting team had been busy, and several patches of forest were already visible near Binhai City.
Account balance: 1-9533-4000 yuan, almost two hundred million.
Jiang Ye opened [Construct Factory].
He did not look at the military factory. The next available factory was the flapping wing aircraft factory, which cost 2.8 billion yuan, an exorbitant amount.
Clicking on commercial factories, he surprisingly found two pieces of information:
[Factory Type: Plywood Production Plant]
[Factory Description: Occupies an area of 5000 square meters, includes six plywood production lines of different specifications, requires 120 workers. Operation is simple, and workers can be on the job after simple training. Profit per hour is 7000 yuan.]
[Construction Cost: 5 million yuan]
[Remaining Factories Needed: 12/100]
[Note: Polluting factory, emits a significant amount of sulfur-containing waste gas. Waste gas purification equipment can be purchased for 30 million yuan.]
Jiang Ye immediately became energized!
This was the cheapest factory he had seen so far, costing only five million yuan. Crucially, the profit was not low either: seven thousand yuan per hour. With 24-hour shifts, that amounted to 168,000 yuan per day, recouping the cost within a month.
As for pollution, it was not a concern at all at this stage.
On such a large planet, what difference would it make to emit exhaust gases? The wind would blow it all away!
Therefore, purchasing waste gas purification equipment was out of the question. The cost of one set of equipment was several times more than the factory itself, which would be a foolish investment.
Jiang Ye placed an order directly, increasing the quantity, and snapped up 10 plywood factories at once.
After spending fifty million yuan, a message from Xu Yan immediately arrived: construction would begin tonight.
Account balance remaining: 1-4533-4000 yuan.
He then looked at the second factory information:
[Factory Type: Paper Book Printing Plant]
[Factory Description: Occupies an area of 10,000 square meters, includes six paper book production lines. Prints books by downloading publisher book templates online. Requires 60 workers. Operation is simple, and workers can be on the job after simple training. Can produce approximately 1000 paper books of various types per hour, with a profit of about 2000 yuan.]
[Construction Cost: 6 million yuan]
[Remaining Factories Needed: 50/50]
Upon seeing the information, Jiang Ye reflexively calculated the profit. If the factory operated all day, the daily profit would only be 48,000 yuan. However, after paying the workers' salaries, there would be little left.
Recouping the cost might take more than ten years, and it might even result in a loss. In short, this was not a profitable factory.
No wonder it had taken so long, and the remaining factories needed were still full; no one was willing to undertake its construction.
However, after a brief hesitation, Jiang Ye still clicked to confirm and ordered one printing plant.
Because he suddenly remembered someone.
Cen Yemeng had opened a large bookstore on Jiedian Star.
Jiang Ye could clearly recall one morning waking up to find Cen Yemeng sitting on the windowsill, a thick book spread across her shapely, fair thighs, with a small orange cat curled up beside her.
If he could bring her here to live in the future, this printing plant would be hers to manage, printing whatever books she needed.
This was considered a gift Jiang Ye was preparing for her.
After reviewing the construction factories, Jiang Ye clicked on [Investment Promotion].
As soon as he opened it, his expression changed.
A large number of company resumes!
There were so many that one page couldn't display them all. After scrolling down, he found a total of 23 company resumes!
Jiang Ye was pleasantly surprised. After the last base upgrade, it was said that information recommendations would increase, leading to more company resumes. There had been no activity for the past few days, and he had begun to think he had been deceived. Now it seemed that it had just taken effect!
Company resumes were equivalent to money, so Jiang Ye quickly browsed them.
As many as 10 company resumes were from food companies, wanting to sell various snacks in the urban area, such as grilled skewers, ice cream, stir-fried chicken, spicy frog hot pot, and even roasted sweet potatoes.
The company selling roasted sweet potatoes even requested Jiang Ye to allocate a piece of wasteland for them to develop a sweet potato plantation. Because they focused on purely natural food and did not use low-end equipment like food printers, they relied entirely on their own cultivation.
Jiang Ye agreed to cooperate with all the food companies. The population would definitely increase in the future, and having more catering businesses would make it convenient for everyone to eat.
Most importantly, after these food companies set up shop, in addition to sharing profits with Jiang Ye, they would also bring a large number of employees from other planets!
For example, the roasted sweet potato company planned to bring 30 sales staff and 260 sweet potato cultivation experts.
For Jiang Ye, the larger the population of the settlement, the higher the development index. Population was the core driving force for development and growth. In simple terms, having more people now meant being powerful.
There were 13 company resumes remaining, and things were becoming interesting.
As many as 6 companies were involved in the sex industry.
And they had a wide variety of offerings, all appearing very respectable on the surface.
