The next morning, when Li Dong arrived at the Qin residence, he bumped into Qin Hai and his wife who were about to leave.
Seeing Li Dong arrive, Yang Yun, who was usually very polite, said nothing today.
Qin Hai, on the other hand, asked, "There have been many things to do in the company recently. Will it be a bother for you to accompany Yuhan?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "It's okay. It's not easy for Yuhan to come back. I'll give myself a break."
Qin Hai nodded and said nothing. He said goodbye to Qin Yuhan who had finished washing up and went downstairs.
Watching the two leave, Li Dong asked curiously, "What's wrong with Aunt Yang today? Are you not feeling well? "
Qin Yuhan shook her head and said, "No, maybe I slept late last night."
Then she changed the topic and said, "Did you eat breakfast?"
"No, I just got up and rushed over."
"Let's eat together. It's not good for your health if you don't eat breakfast."
Li Dong sat down and Qin Yuhan scooped a bowl of porridge for him. The two of them chatted while eating.
After chatting for a while, Qin Yuhan suddenly asked, "I heard that Far Away Mall is going to be online soon?"
"Yes, it's going to be online on May 1st. It's being promoted these days," Li Dong answered casually.
Qin Yuhan nodded and continued, "E-commerce has a lot of potential. Last year, Ali Baba's Taobao had an annual turnover of more than eight billion, surpassing Wal-Mart. The Capital University recently organized a debate, the theme was the advantages and disadvantages of E-commerce and physical stores. I went to watch it, and everyone argued fiercely. "
Li Dong said casually, "Each has its advantages and disadvantages. It's impossible to distinguish the real from the fake. E-commerce may have a certain impact on physical stores, but it's impossible to completely replace physical stores. "
Qin Yuhan chuckled and said, "I think so too. In fact, most people think so. However, there are still some students who think that E-commerce can completely replace the physical economy. They also proposed that the future is an Internet society. People don't have to go out and can meet all their needs sitting at home. "
"You've gone stupid from studying!"
Li Dong sneered. There were always bookworms, and there was no lack of such people in Beijing.
There were very few people who held this kind of idea, but it was not completely non-existent. Now it seemed that some of the top students in the Capital University thought so.
Qin Yuhan smiled and didn't say much about it. She continued, "You've never done e-commerce before. Now that you've stepped into online shopping, don't you think it's a little tricky?"
"It's alright." Li Dong smiled and said, "This is the good thing about being a boss. You don't have to do it yourself. You just have to command people."
Qin Yuhan replied with an "Oh" and casually said, "I heard that e-commerce seems simple, but it's actually very difficult to do it well. Seeing that you're so confident, is it because the person in charge of your e-commerce department is very powerful?"
Li Dong didn't mind. He said casually, "It's okay. Her main job is to manage people. There are professionals in charge of the technical aspects."
"Is that so? From what you're saying, she's an amateur? Can a layman manage this new department well? "
Li Dong felt a little strange. Qin Yuhan rarely talked to him about the company.
Even if sometimes Li Dong talked about it himself, Qin Yuhan usually just listened and didn't speak. Why did she always talk about e-commerce today?
Li Dong didn't think much about it. He just thought that Qin Yuhan was more interested in Far Away Mall. After all, young people were far more interested in these than in physical companies.
Thinking of this, Li Dong said a few more words. Unknowingly, the two chatted for more than ten minutes.
Finally, Qin Yuhan said, "Li Dong, I'm a little interested after listening to what you said. Far Away Mall hasn't been online yet. How about we go to your company later to try out this mall?"
Li Dong said in surprise, "Didn't we say that we will go to pay and sign the contract in the morning?"
Qin Yuhan said coquettishly, "We will go to your company to take a look first. After we are done, we can pay in the afternoon."
"We have an appointment. How about we sign the contract in the morning, and I will take you to the company in the afternoon?"
Qin Yuhan grinned and nodded when she heard this, "Alright, then let's do it this way!"
After that, the two didn't talk about the company anymore. After breakfast, the two went downstairs together.
Today, Li Dong didn't take a taxi. Zheng Long drove the A4 and waited downstairs.
After getting in the car, Li Dong happened to receive a call from Hsu Shengzhe.
The two chatted for a while. Li Dong's eyes flashed with joy. Then he said to the phone, "So, the matter is settled?"
Hsu Shengzhe said, "Almost. We can go back tomorrow or the day after."
After that, he complained, "Because of your matter, I have been delayed for a long time. When we go back, you will treat me. I have to go all the way."
Li Dong laughed and said quickly, "Okay, it's my treat. It's not a problem to book the whole place! You can choose where you want to go! "
Hsu Shengzhe shushed him and didn't argue with Li Dong. He continued, "Recently, the news has come out. I heard that Jia Wenhao and the senior management of Jiangbei and Sunan are almost done. This time, we got lucky. If we were a few days late, I am afraid that the land sales will be restricted. "
Li Dong immediately asked, "The news has come out. It won't affect us, right?"
"Don't worry. As long as there are no restrictions tomorrow, it won't affect us. Do you think I have wasted so many days? I spent so much money on them. Do you think they will dare to go back on their words? "
Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he remember that there was still one thing he didn't ask.
Thinking of this, Li Dong asked, "How much money did you spend in total?"
When it came to money, Hsu Shengzhe didn't joke around and reported the bill to Li Dong.
That piece of land in Heming Village was five thousand six hundred mu. Wang Ming had bought it for fifty thousand HNY per mu, spending two hundred and eighty million on it.
Fifty thousand HNY per mu was not a cheap price to buy wasteland in the countryside in 2006; it could even be said to be very expensive.
But Wang Ming had negotiated in a hurry, so this price was within his expectations.
Apart from the money spent on the land, the various taxes and fees added up to almost three hundred and twenty million HNY for the land in Heming Village.
Li Dong was secretly speechless. Fortunately, they didn't have to pay in full in one go. Otherwise, the two hundred million they had prepared would only have been enough to buy half of the land. As expected, real estate wasn't something that ordinary people could do.
In addition to Heming Village, Hsu Shengzhe bought a small piece of land. It was less than five thousand mu, but the difference wasn't that big.
Hsu Shengzhe bought a lot cheaper. It was thirty-eight thousand mu, and the price of the land was about one hundred and eighty million HNY.
But this guy was a big spender, spending more than ten million HNY on it.
This piece of land cost him almost two hundred million HNY.
Li Dong waited for him to finish and exclaimed, "It's just two pieces of wasteland, and you spent so much on it. Your appetite isn't small!"
Hsu Shengzhe said disapprovingly, "This is nothing. This is just the countryside. If it was a flat plain, why don't you give it a try? Of course, this is also related to our urgency. No one is a fool. If you want it so urgently, who can't see that there's something fishy going on? But so what? It's not your own money that doesn't hurt. What you get is yours. What's the per capita GDP in Su 'an? How high do you think a civil servant's salary is? Throw a few hundred thousand HNY, and anyone will be tempted. Don't look at how much I spent. Look at how much cheaper the land I bought is compared to Wang Ming. Wool still comes from the sheep. "
Hearing that, Li Dong chuckled and flattered Xu Shengzhe a few times. Xu Shengzhe was indeed not bad. For a similar piece of land, the land price was reduced by almost ten thousand per mu, saving forty to fifty million in one go.
As for the money spent on bribing, it had long been saved back. In Li Dong's opinion, Hsu Shengzhe obviously did a better job than Wang Ming.
Of course, this was also expected. If Hsu Shengzhe didn't even have this little ability, his father wouldn't have let him hold such an important position in Longhua.
The two pieces of land cost about five hundred and thirty million HNY.
Li Dong and his team only had a total capital of two hundred and ten million HNY. They had spent about twenty million HNY, and they still had to pay for the first batch of land. They didn't have much money left.
Li Dong asked again, "Then what should we do next?"
"What's the hurry? Wait for the new city plan to come out, then we just wait for the money. Believe it or not, once the news of us winning these two pieces of land spreads out, people will want to buy land from us. "Hsu Shengzhe laughed.
Li Dong lightly exhaled and said, "That's good."
After that, the two of them chatted for a while. When they reached the entrance of Jinhu Garden's sales office, Li Dong hung up the phone.
Qin Yuhan waited for him to hang up the phone before she said softly, "From your tone, it should be good news?"
Li Dong grinned and said, "It's good news. If we succeed this time, it won't be a problem to earn a few hundred million HNY."
Qin Yuhan believed what he said. Li Dong usually wouldn't lie to her, and there was no need for him to do so.
However, the two of them had already gotten out of the car. Li Dong's voice wasn't low, and his words were heard by a few people who came to view the property.
As soon as Li Dong finished speaking, someone in the crowd sneered and said, "Aren't you afraid of blowing your own trumpet?!"
Another person followed up with a laugh and said, "Mind your own business. Bragging doesn't have to be taxed. Who knows, maybe he really earned a few hundred million HNY playing games."
When this was said, the group of people couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Li Dong glanced over there. It was a group of two men and two women, and they weren't that old.
That's right. Other than young people who were hot-blooded, older people were more mature. Even if they heard such words, even if they snorted in their hearts, they wouldn't say it in front of others.
Many young people got into fights because of their mouths.
Li Dong glanced at them and couldn't be bothered to argue with them. If it was at this time in his previous life, if he was laughed at in his face at this age, he would most likely fight.
But in this life, whether it was his mental age or his status, he was immune to such things.
What's wrong with making a few sarcastic remarks? It's not like I'm missing a piece of meat, and I won't lose a single cent of the money I earned. Is there a need to fight with others because of this?
To put it bluntly, these people weren't worthy of Li Dong beating them up with bare arms.
Li Dong didn't take it seriously and continued walking forward. Qin Yuhan wanted to get angry, but when she saw that Li Dong didn't care, she could only glare at them hatefully and follow Li Dong to the sales office.
The young men and women originally wanted to see Li Dong's reaction, but when they saw that the two of them directly ignored them, they immediately felt a little embarrassed.
Sometimes, ignoring someone was the greatest counterattack. It meant that the other party didn't care about you at all.
No matter how much you jumped around, if the other party ignored you, you would look no different from a clown.
