Li Dong returned to his office and put aside the matter of money.
He turned on his computer and logged into his mailbox. An email from Zhang Lanyu had already been sent.
Li Dong opened it and saw that there were a total of eight pieces of land to be auctioned. This was probably the most land that the Bureau of Land and Resources had ever auctioned at one time in recent years.
In the past, two or three pieces of land could support an auction. This time, the price was several times higher. Coupled with the high-quality land, it was obvious that there must be a lot of real estate companies participating in the auction.
Of the eight pieces of land, three were commercial land and five were residential land.
The three pieces of commercial land were located in the View District. The View District was the city center, so the land price was naturally not cheap.
Li Dong looked around and bypassed the pieces of land in the View District. The land price here was too expensive. Even if there was an increase next year, the price might not meet Li Dong's expectations.
He was mainly looking at the pieces of residential land. Of these five pieces of land, one was in the View District, two were in the Yaohai District, and the other two were in the southern suburbs and the other was in the new government district.
After looking at the introduction of these pieces of land, Li Dong picked up the map of Pingchuan next to him and compared it.
Finally, he compared it with the new Pingchuan appearance in his mind in the next few years. In the end, Li Dong circled three pieces of land.
Two pieces of land in Yaohai District and one piece of land in the new government district. Li Dong was quite interested in these three pieces of land.
There was no need to mention the new government district. The new district plan only started in 2002, and it had not been completely built yet.
However, the development of the new district was just around the corner. In addition, the environment there was beautiful and most suitable for people to live in. It was best to get a piece of land to build a residential area.
As for the two pieces of land in Yaohai District, one of them was Far away from the building.
Previously, Li Dong was also planning to build an employee community. This piece of land was not small. If he could buy it and invest in an employee community, it would be quite suitable.
The above two pieces of land were actually not attractive to Li Dong. What really caught his attention was the last piece of land.
Although this piece of land was located in the Yaohai District, it was actually closer to the national development zone.
That was not important. What was important was that if Li Dong remembered correctly, this area would become independent at the end of the year, and Pingchuan would form a new Binhe District.
Once the new district was established, the price of this wasteland would skyrocket.
Coupled with the influence of next year's market, Li Dong did not dare to estimate how much it would increase.
However, he wasn't too sure if this was the place he was looking for. A map was just a map. He wouldn't be able to tell if it was the place he was looking for.
Moreover, whether it was located in the center of Binhe New District or not was still a big problem.
Although the government announcement said that there was no such thing, sometimes one could not completely trust such things. He had to see it for himself to be at ease.
After looking at a few residential plots, Li Dong briefly looked at the commercial plots.
Of the three pieces of land, the one that attracted the most attention should be the one near the pedestrian street.
Guanhai Pedestrian Street was the busiest commercial area in Pingchuan. Every inch of land here was worth its weight in gold. Even now, the prices were frighteningly high.
Moreover, this was a good location on the surface, and the risk was also the lowest.
If developers had enough funds, their first target would definitely be this piece of land. Even if the property prices did not rise or even fall in the future, the value of this piece of land would not fluctuate much.
Li Dong stared at the computer for a while and sneered in his heart.
Without a doubt, all the bigger real estate companies in Jiangbei would be targeting this piece of land.
If Longhua were to go, Li Dong would like to add fuel to the fire.
Anyway, this was not his goal. Stirring up the water would also be beneficial for him to auction off the other pieces of land.
After looking at the information, Li Dong closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.
Plans were plans, but the problem of money was inevitable.
Without money, it was useless to say anything. The key was where to get the money.
The three pieces of land that he had his eyes on were not small. Naturally, the prices would not be cheap.
Take the new government district for example. In the first half of 2006, the government sold three pieces of land at a price of 1.2 million per mu.
This was the price in the first half of the year. This time, it might be even higher.
The land in the new government district was about 500 mu. Based on the market price in the first half of the year, it would be 600 million.
If the price went up a little more, it might even reach 700 million.
Of course, the profits were also considerable. The house that Li Dong bought in his previous life was in the new government district. When he bought the house, he had looked up some information on the internet.
If he did not remember wrongly, the land in the new government district was auctioned in 2007. The price per mu was about 2.5 million. Just hoarding the land for a year would double the profits. The profits would be even more if it was built into a residential area. However, it would take a long time. Li Dong was afraid that he could not wait.
Other than the new government district, the other pieces of land were not cheap either.
All in all, only the land in the future Binhe New District was slightly cheaper. If he could get that land, it would not be difficult for his profits to increase by three or four times next year.
But no matter how cheap it was, it would still cost a few hundred million.
Together with the land next to the building Far away, it would be impossible to get all three pieces of land in one go without at least 1.5 billion.
Also, there were only eight pieces of land being auctioned this time. There were at least a few dozen real estate companies competing. During the competition, it was common for the prices to skyrocket. It would not be strange for the price to increase by one or two hundred million in the end.
After doing some calculations, Li Dong had to put his expectations at around 1.7 billion.
1.7 billion. This price made Li Dong's teeth ache.
If the negotiations with Time Inc. were successful, then he would need to spend at least one billion. That would be almost 3 billion.
There was also the stock market. He needed the capital. Li Dong lowered his target a little. 500 million was a must.
All in all, he still had to prepare 3.5 billion yuan of funds.
Looking at this figure, Li Dong wanted to die. Why were all the profitable businesses gathered together?
The stock market, real estate market, retail market. These did not even include the internet market. 2006 was indeed the golden period before the financial crisis.
Did he have to give up one or two of them?
He could not make a fortune in one bite. Should he not get involved in the stock market first?
Thinking of this, Li Dong's heart ached. He knew that he could make money, but he did not have the capital. This feeling was really terrible.
Just as he was hesitating, the office phone on his desk rang.
Glancing at the number, Li Dong picked up the call and grumpily said, "What now? You don't have to persuade me. I will definitely go to the auction! "
Shen Qian was speechless. After a while, she said angrily, "Who is persuading you! I just want to remind you that you do not need to pay in full for the land. You only need to pay 10% of the total amount as a deposit within 15 days after signing the contract. The rest of the money can be paid in full within a year. "
After saying this, Shen Qian hung up the phone with a bang.
Li Dong's eyes lit up. He was really muddle-headed previously. He actually knew about this rule.
But he was shocked by the huge figure just now. He only wanted to raise money and forgot about this.
Wasn't this what he did when he bought the land in New City?
It was just a 10% down payment. In other words, if he wanted to buy the three pieces of land, the first payment would be about 150 million yuan. Even if it was more, it would not exceed 200 million yuan.
And a one-year delay was more than enough time!
Around October next year, if Li Dong did not develop the community, the land could be transferred out.
In other words, if he spent 200 million yuan as a deposit, the three pieces of land next year would be worth at least more than 3 billion yuan. Over and over again, he could earn more than a billion yuan.
Thinking of this, Li Dong quickly called back.
After the phone was connected, without waiting for Shen Qian to speak, Li Dong smiled and said, "Shen Qian, I love you to death!"
"…"
"Beep, beep, beep …"
The phone was hung up directly. Li Dong did not care and put down the phone happily.
…
In the evening, Li Dong received a call from Sun Tao.
The second round of negotiations with Times Square had ended. This time, the negotiations lasted for a long time, and the meeting was very formal.
Both parties talked about personnel, integration, acquisition, and a series of other issues. Li Dong did not listen in detail and asked for the result after listening briefly.
In the end, it was naturally not successful. The main point was still the price.
In the first round of negotiations, Far Away offered 2.2 billion yuan, but Times Square did not agree.
In the second round of negotiations, Far Away definitely had to increase the price. Yu Bo and the rest set the price at 2.3 billion yuan.
This price was not considered low, but of course, it was not considered high either.
Times Square still did not agree. Their price dropped from the initial 2.8 billion yuan to the current 2.7 billion yuan.
The difference of 400 million yuan was not that easy to close.
However, according to Sun Tao, when the third round of negotiations started, Far Away offered 2.4 billion yuan, and it was very likely that they would succeed.
If the third round did not work, then it would be the fourth round. 2.5 billion yuan was the limit. Yu Bo and Yuan Chengdao were very confident. If they offered 2.5 billion yuan, it should be in the bag.
As for Wumart, Sun Tao and the rest were prepared to release the news that Wumart's capital chain was broken when the third round of negotiations started.
With both methods, they might be able to take down Times Square in less than 2.5 billion yuan.
And this time, it would not take more than a month. In other words, mid-July, the negotiations with Times Square would end.
In the middle, they would reach an agreement on personnel and other issues. Both parties should be able to sign the contract at the beginning of August.
After hanging up the phone, Li Dong calculated in his heart.
After signing the contract with Times Square, the down payment would definitely be sent over. This was not a small amount, at least 800 to 1 billion yuan. It all depended on how the negotiations went.
Far Away still had 330 million yuan in Longhua, and another 500 million yuan in loans would be coming soon. If he could pay 800 million yuan, Far Away would not have a funding gap.
However, if the negotiations did not come to an agreement and the down payment reached half, then Li Dong would have to return the 300 million that he had embezzled Far Away.
The real funding gap was with him.
There was 370 million in Longhua that belonged to Li Dong, and this was the lowest amount he could use.
However, Li Dong still owed a lot of debts. Thirty million from Xu Shengzhe, thirty million from someone he borrowed from when he bought the land, and twenty million from Zhang Lanyu. Other than the eighty million, the money he could actually use was less than three hundred million.
This 300 million was not enough for Li Dong to buy land and stocks.
It seemed like he had to get the 50 million Swiss francs bonds back as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would lose a lot of money if it dragged on.
