Friday, June 30, 2006.
The Pingchuan Land Bureau's land auction was scheduled for that day.
The auction was set to be held on the sixth floor of the Pingchuan Public Resources Trading Center. The auction would start at 10 am
At 9: 40 am, Li Dong's car slowly stopped in front of the trading center.
Other than Li Dong, Wu Shengnan, Shen Qian, and the director of Dongyu Real Estate's finance and strategic development department were also attending the auction.
The five of them briefly talked about the matters to take note of later and walked to the elevator together.
After they left, a few more cars stopped in front of the trading center.
Yao Hong frowned and looked at the entrance of the hall, then looked at the Maybach that Tan Yong had driven away. After a while, he asked the staff beside him, "Is that Li Dong's car?"
The general manager of Menshen Real Estate took a look and shook his head. "I didn't see it clearly. Chairman Yao, General Manager Li is also attending the auction?"
"Who knows."
Yao Hong replied casually. It was not a big secret that Li Dong wanted to enter the real estate industry.
That guy seemed to have been provoked by Xu Jianghua some time ago, and he had been meeting with people in the real estate industry. Maybe this guy would really join in the fun this time.
However, Yao Hong did not mind. Instead, he was happy to see it.
Wasn't Li Dong on good terms with Longhua? Yao Hong was scared to death a few days ago, but then Li Dong was slapped in the face by Xu Jianghua. It was so interesting. Yao Hong wished he had been there to watch the fun.
Now, whether Li Dong attended the auction or entered the real estate industry, it would not affect Yao Hong much.
Even if Li Dong was a dragon crossing the river, the first thing he needed to do was to take down the Long Hua Group.
He was too lazy to continue guessing. Whether Li Dong was coming or not, he would find out later.
Yao Hong got out of the car, followed by seven or eight staff members. Most of the real estate companies participating in the auction were at the level of the president or chairman of the board of directors.
After all, a total of eight pieces of land would be auctioned, and the funds involved could be as high as 10 billion. At this time, no one would feel at ease leaving it to their subordinates to handle.
As soon as they got out of the car, a row of commercial cars drove up behind them.
The convoy was not short and had a strong aura. When Yao Hong heard the whistle, he looked back and sneered, "Old Man Xu is here too. The old man hasn't participated in an auction for many years. I didn't expect him to come personally this time."
Men Shen's general manager smiled and said, "The competition this time is quite big. If Chairman Xu doesn't come, would his men dare to bid casually? Longhua hasn't been having a good time recently. They've invested too much in the new city, and now they want a share of the pie in Pingchuan. Chairman Xu is probably trying to get everyone to give him some face. "
"He's just taking advantage of his seniority. Now, I'm looking forward to Li Dong's arrival. If the two of them meet at the auction, there will be a good show to watch."
General Manager Men Shen said in surprise, "Far away isn't acquiring Time? I heard that the investment is more than 2 billion yuan. General Manager Li still has the funds to invest in real estate? "
"Don't underestimate Li Dong. This guy is ambitious. It's fine if he doesn't come. If he does, there will definitely be a good show to watch. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. "
Yao Hong knew Li Dong better. If this guy didn't make a fuss, he would definitely not come looking for trouble.
Since he was here, he must have made preparations.
Although Yao Hong didn't know where Li Dong got his confidence from, if that was really Li Dong, then today's auction would be interesting.
Yao Hong didn't say anything more. He couldn't be bothered to deal with Xu Jianghua. Before he got out of the car, he led his men to the trading hall.
…
Sixth floor of the trading hall.
Li Dong didn't arrive early. When he entered the hall, there were already many people sitting inside.
As soon as Li Dong and his men entered, someone recognized them. Then, someone greeted, "General Manager Li, what brings you here?"
"Boss Lu, what a coincidence. I heard that all the real estate tycoons are coming over for a gathering, so I'm here to join in the fun. I'm sure everyone will welcome me, right? "Li Dong laughed as he greeted everyone. He then chatted with the fatty who had just greeted him.
He also knew this fat man and had even dealt with him once.
Last time when Jia Wenhao gathered everyone to climb the mountain, he was the first to arrive. Lu Zhanpeng of Hongtu Real Estate.
There was another reason why Li Dong remembered him. Wanyuan District was developed by Hongtu Real Estate.
As soon as Li Dong arrived, all the real estate tycoons became alert.
Some greeted Li Dong, some pretended not to see him, and some looked at him mockingly. Obviously, they thought of the same thing as Yao Hong.
Li Dong had quietly established a real estate company, and now he actually came to participate in the auction. There would probably be a good show today.
Of course, everyone felt a little pressured.
Originally, eight pieces of land was not a small number, but there were too many people. Just now, there were no less than 30 real estate companies attending the auction.
In addition to the local real estate companies, there were also many from other provinces. Including those who had not arrived yet, there were probably no less than 40 real estate companies when the auction began.
There were too many wolves and not enough meat. Today would probably be another big fight.
Just as Li Dong and Lu Zhanpeng were chatting, someone came in through the door.
Many people smiled and greeted them. It was Yao Hong and his men from Menshen Real Estate.
The first thing Yao Hong did when he entered the door was to look around. When he really saw Li Dong, he greeted the others and walked over to Li Dong.
The rules of the land auction were not as strict as other auctions, and people could find their own seats.
Yao Hong arranged the company's people to sit behind Li Dong, and then said to Li Dong with a smile, "General Manager Li, I haven't seen you for a while. So far away, your business is getting bigger and bigger. In a few days, we old guys will really be killed by you on the beach."
Li Dong laughed and said, "Director Yao, you must be joking. Speaking of which, if it wasn't for Director Yao wanting to steal my job, I wouldn't be involved in this. I have no choice but to make a living."
Yao Hong smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to make a few jokes, there was another uproar in the venue.
This time, the commotion was much bigger than when Li Dong and Yao Hong came in.
As soon as Xu Jianghua and his men entered the door, greetings could be heard.
"Hello, Chairman Xu."
"Chairman Xu, your body is getting stronger and stronger."
"Chairman Xu, during the auction later, you have to let us …"
"…"
Seeing Xu Jianghua's limitless glory, Yao Hong glanced at Li Dong and said with a smile, "General Manager Li, our Jiangbei real estate industry's Mount Tai is here. So far away, you are new to the real estate industry. Don't you want to go pay your respects?"
Li Dong leaned back in his chair and said casually, "What era is it now? The Party has told us not to believe in feudal superstition, and not to be a leader. There is no need to pay our respects."
Yao Hong could not help but laugh. As he walked to his seat, he said in a low voice, "If General Manager Li is interested, let's set up a stage?"
Li Dong was not surprised. He said casually, "Let's see. I have a big appetite. Who knows, I might be able to take it all."
Yao Hong stopped in his tracks and then sat down, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He thought to himself, 'This guy is really arrogant. I wonder how many plots he will be able to get later. If he can't even get a single plot, it will be a big loss of face.'
While the two of them were chatting, Xu Jianghua also looked at them.
When Xu Jianghua saw Li Dong, he was slightly surprised. However, Xu Jianghua's expression did not change. He nodded at Li Dong and sat in the front row.
Li Dong did not reply. He glanced at Xu Jianghua and saw that Xu Rulong was also here.
Perhaps the rumor was true. Xu Jianghua had brought Xu Rulong to this occasion to train him.
Coincidentally, Hsu Shengzhe was overseas. Li Dong was wondering if Hsu Shengzhe was going overseas to watch football or to make room for Xu Rulong.
Li Dong was too lazy to get to the bottom of it.
Even if Hsu Shengzhe could not take over Xu Jianghua's position, he would not starve to death.
Moreover, the last time he invested in land with Li Dong, that fellow had earned 300 million. In addition to the 5% of Longhua's shares, even if he did not get anything from Longhua in the future, his net worth would still be close to one billion.
One billion yuan was enough for Hsu Shengzhe to spend for the rest of his life, even if he did not do anything for the rest of his life.
…
When all the major real estate developers were in place, the auction was about to start.
The auction organized by the government was actually relatively simple. It was not the first time that land auctions were held. The process was similar.
The host introduced the rules, the increment, and the bidding agenda. Then, the auction officially began.
"First up is plot GH1610. This plot is located in Guanhai District … The total area of the plot is 12856.5 square meters, and the plot ratio is 2.5 … The starting price is 128 million yuan. Each increment is 1 million yuan, or multiple of 1 million yuan …"
After the auctioneer finished, no one was in a hurry to bid.
The director of the strategic development department next to Li Dong said in a low voice, "Although this plot is in Guanhai District, its location is a little remote. The starting price is not high. The floor price is only 4,000 yuan per square meter. Also, this plot is too small. It is only 20 mu. It is not suitable to build a residential area. The plot ratio is fine, and it is possible to build high-rise buildings … "
Li Dong listened while paying attention to the other people's actions.
This plot of land was probably too small. Almost no major real estate developers were interested in it. At this stage, only small and medium-sized real estate companies were bidding.
"No. 22, 130 million yuan!"
"No. 29, 140 million yuan!"
"…"
"No. 33, 200 million yuan!"
When the price reached 200 million yuan, the bidding slowed down.
The accountant next to him hurriedly began to calculate. Then he said in a low voice, "The floor price has reached 7,778 yuan per square meter. The current property price is around 8,000 yuan per square meter. The profit is not big."
Li Dong nodded. The profit was not big. The key was that the plot was too small. Even if there was profit, Li Dong did not want to get involved.
A plot of less than 20 mu was originally prepared for those small real estate companies.
This time, Li Dong was prepared to spend a lot of money. It was better to let others have this little bit of money.
There were many people who thought the same as him. There were less than 10 real estate developers bidding for the first plot of land. The rest of the real estate companies did not raise their placards.
