While the two of them were silent, there was a knock on the office door.
Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Come in."
Chen Ke pushed the door open and entered. After greeting Li Dong and Shen Qian, she said with a strange expression, "General Manager Li, someone is looking for you."
"Who?"
"Chen Hongming."
"Chen Hongming …" Li Dong looked puzzled. The name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
Chen Ke explained, "It's the guy from the hotel last time."
Hearing Chen Ke's words, Li Dong suddenly remembered. Then he said with a doubtful expression, "He's looking for me? Just him alone? "
"No, there's a young man who says he's General Manager Li's friend."
"My friend? Did he say what his name is? "
"He said his name is Wang Ming."
"F * * k, how did this guy get involved with them?" Li Dong muttered to himself. Next to him, Shen Qian asked curiously, "Who is Wang Ming?"
"The guy who worked with me and Hsu Shengzhe last time. He invested ten million yuan and got sixty million yuan for free."
After Li Dong said this, Shen Qian also knew who this person was.
When Li Dong and the others had gone to the new city previously, they had happened to run into Wang Ming's group who had also gone to buy land. To prevent conflict, Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe had finally decided to work with Wang Ming.
Wang Ming had scraped together ten million yuan, and in the end, he had multiplied it sevenfold in a month, making a net profit of sixty million yuan.
It was impossible for Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe not to mind at all.
But after that cooperation, Wang Ming knew his place and hadn't contacted Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe again, and Li Dong had almost forgotten about this guy.
He hadn't expected this guy to work with Chen Hongming's group again. It seemed that after making money, Wang Ming couldn't stay idle, and was probably ready to go all out.
Li Dong knocked on the table and pondered for a while, then asked Shen Qian, "Chen Hongming seems to be in the real estate business, right?"
"Yes, he and Bald Wang are both in the real estate business. Do you mean that they came for that land?"
"Very likely."
Li Dong wasn't surprised that the one who was looking for him was the woman named Xia Ran.
It wasn't strange for a jewelry store and a supermarket to cooperate, but since of Chen Hongming and not Xia Ran, it was most likely for that land.
Li Dong had also investigated the backgrounds of these people, but he had not considered them before. The main reason was that they did not seem to be strong enough. They would not be able to take over three billion worth of land.
But now that the other party had come to his door, could it be that he was confident?
In any case, he still had to meet him. The other party was a local tycoon in Shudu, and if Li Dong wanted to enter Shudu to develop, he had to develop some connections.
Shudu was too far away, and it was usually impossible for Li Dong to go there. Now that the other party had come to his door, it was a good time to test him.
…
Far away from the conference room.
After the little assistant poured the tea and went out, Chen Hongming whispered, "Will Li Dong see us?"
Wang Ming comforted him, "Of course he will, or you can just say that he's not here. Haste makes waste, President Chen, wait a little longer."
Chen Hongming nodded, then smiled bitterly and said, "Last time, I really made a big mistake. If I knew it was Li Dong's people … Ah, forget it, it's too late to say this now."
Wang Ming smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. We are all businessmen, who doesn't want to do business that can make money? Li Dong is also a human, if there is money to be made, what's wrong with getting punched? President Wang had one of his ribs broken, and he was lying in the hospital thinking about making money. If you give me a punch, let alone one hundred million, even one hundred thousand, I will do it. "
Chen Hongming glanced at him, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Really?"
"Ahem …"
Wang Ming coughed a few times and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "President Chen, I was just making an example, you took it seriously."
Chen Hongming shook his head and laughed, but he didn't continue to tease him.
For people like them, profit was more important than face, but it also depended on how much profit.
For example, Wang Ming, if you gave him a black eye, he might let it go for one million, because he felt that one million was a good deal.
But if it was one hundred thousand, to be honest, for Wang Ming, who had made sixty million in one business, this amount of money was not enough to make him lose face.
By the same logic, if Li Dong could make a lot of money after getting punched in the newspaper, he naturally wouldn't haggle with these guys.
But if Li Dong felt that the money he made wasn't enough to make up for his previous losses, then any cooperation would be meaningless.
While the two of them were chatting, Li Dong and Shen Qian entered the conference room together.
As soon as they saw Li Dong enter, Chen Hongming and Wang Ming hurriedly stood up. Chen Hongming stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "General Manager Li, President Shen, I'm really sorry about what happened last time. Old Wang is still hospitalized, and he especially asked me to apologize to everyone on his behalf. General Manager Li, please be magnanimous and forgive us. "
Li Dong shook hands with him and said with a faint smile, "There's no need for an apology. Last time, my subordinates didn't have a good sense of propriety and injured President Wang and President Chen. I should be the one apologizing."
"General Manager Li, you must be joking, it was all our fault …"
The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while before Wang Ming interrupted with a smile, "General Manager Li, we meet again."
Li Dong nodded and said with a smile, "Wang Ming, I haven't seen you for a while. Where are you making a fortune?"
Wang Ming smiled bitterly and said, "What fortune? Without General Manager Li, it's already good that I didn't make a loss. I'm just sitting on my money now. I heard that President Chen and President Wang have an opportunity here, so I came to join in the fun. Whether or not I can make money depends on whether General Manager Li gives me a meal or not. "
Wang Ming and Chen Hongming were very humble.
Wang Ming could make a fortune because of Li Dong, so it was normal for him to be a little humble.
But Chen Hongming was also a big shot in Shudu and could be considered a local tycoon. To be able to be so humble wasn't something an ordinary person could do.
After Wang Ming finished speaking, Li Dong wasn't too polite with them and asked, "Are you here for that piece of land on the pedestrian street?"
Li Dong went straight to the point, which surprised both Wang Ming and Chen Hongming.
But very quickly, the two of them reacted. Wang Ming hurriedly nodded and said, "That's right. Haven't you been talking about this with Tianyu Dafeng these days? We heard the news, so we came to check out the situation. General Manager Li, you haven't reached an agreement yet, have you?"
"No."
Hearing Li Dong directly admit that they hadn't reached an agreement, the two of them were delighted.
These days, this piece of land was the hottest topic in Jiangbei's real estate industry.
At first, Li Dong had won this piece of land, and no one had any interest in it because this guy had always only entered and never left.
But when everyone knew that Li Dong didn't want this piece of land and that he had only reached an agreement with a few groups from outside the province, the powerful real estate developers began to be tempted.
This piece of land on the pedestrian street was indeed a good piece of land. Plus, after the auction, the housing prices rose again, and the land price also increased.
At that time, everyone felt that 3.05 billion was a bit too high. But now, they didn't need to wait until the end of the year. Even now, 3 billion wasn't too expensive.
If the housing prices rose a bit more, the price of this piece of land would still rise. The probability of losing money was too low.
And it wasn't just a matter of making money. The reason why many companies from outside the province wanted this piece of land was to use it as a springboard.
If they could get this piece of land and develop a commercial street in the core commercial area of Jiangbei, then they would instantly become famous.
Chen Hongming and Wang Pengfei weren't weak, and they had always wanted to expand their company's business.
But in Shudu, both of their companies had almost fallen into a bottleneck period.
And the provinces near Shudu, because of geographical and economic reasons, were not suitable to develop the real estate industry in the west, south, and north.
They could only develop in the eastern provinces. Shudu was in the east, and the closest province was E Province.
But E Province's capital was Jiang City, and it was also one of the core cities in the central region. The competition there was too fierce. With Chen Hongming and Wang Pengfei's strength, it was difficult for them to get a share of the pie in Jiang City.
Further east was Jiangbei.
Pingchuan was also the capital of Jiangbei, and Jiangbei's economy was not too bad. It was more suitable for large and medium-sized real estate companies to develop.
Unfortunately, they were too late at the Pingchuan auction. They didn't manage to register, and they didn't have the qualifications to bid. That's why they didn't go to the auction.
Originally, after the auction, the two of them wanted to see if there were any other ways to buy a few pieces of land.
But because of the dispute with Li Dong last time, and the rumor in Jiangbei that Li Dong and Du Anmin were close friends, Chen Hongming and Wang Pengfei knew how powerful the government was. They had been ready to go to Yu Province to check out the market after Wang Pengfei recovered from his injuries.
But when they suddenly heard that Li Dong was going to transfer the commercial land in his possession, Wang Pengfei and Chen Hongming were instantly tempted.
Coupled with the lack of local connections and the lack of someone to build bridges with Li Dong, the two of them finally found Wang Ming.
At that moment, Wang Ming was also worried about the next step in his development. When Chen Hongming and Wang Pengfei came to him, and since Wang Ming had started his business on land, the two sides hit it off and immediately reached an agreement.
Then, Wang Ming and Chen Hongming came to Far away together.
…
Li Dong wasn't interested in how Wang Ming and Chen Hongming had gotten together.
After asking the two of them to sit down, Li Dong said, "Let's skip the pleasantries. I'm sure you've been to see what that piece of land is like and asked around. Name a price. If it's right, we'll close the deal. If it's not, I'll keep it. Tianyu and Dafeng want to take advantage of me, Li Dong, in their dreams. "
Chen Hongming laughed bitterly. You're really direct.
But he also knew Li Dong's temperament. Although they had only met once, Chen Hongming knew that this guy wasn't someone who would suffer a loss.
After muttering to himself for a bit, Chen Hongming said, "What do you think, General Manager Li, of 3.15 billion?"
Li Dong looked at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "It looks like you understand me quite well. Tianyu offered 3.13 billion, but should I pay attention to him? You're sincere in adding twenty million, but twenty million isn't enough. My final offer is 3.2 billion. If it's okay, then it's fine. If it's not, then forget it. I'm going abroad in a few days, so I don't have time to talk to you. If you haven't made a decision by the eighth, I'll keep this piece of land for myself. At this point, whether you want it or not, you can go back and discuss it among yourselves. "
Chen Hongming and Wang Ming looked at each other and exchanged glances for a moment.
After a while, Wang Ming said with a smile, "General Manager Li is really straightforward. How about this, President Chen and I can't make a decision so quickly. We have to go back and ask President Wang for his opinion. There's no need for the eighth. Tomorrow, we'll definitely give General Manager Li an answer tomorrow. Whether he wants it or not, we won't waste General Manager Li's time. "
Li Dong said with a smile, "Okay, then it's settled."
After Li Dong finished speaking, the meeting was over. It was very short, only ten minutes or so.
But Wang Ming and Chen Hongming were still quite satisfied. In any case, at least Li Dong gave a price and didn't reject the cooperation. That was enough.
As for the price of fifty million more than them, it was also within their expectations.
If they could get it for 3.35 billion, Li Dong would have already negotiated with Tianyu, and they wouldn't have had to participate in it.
Just as the two were about to leave, Shen Qian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Business is business. Go back and tell Baldy Wang that Li Dong can forget about his matter, but I can't! Tell Baldy Wang to apologize in the newspaper, otherwise I won't let him off! "
Chen Hongming's face changed slightly, and Wang Ming hurriedly pulled him.
Then he said to Shen Qian with a smile, "President Shen, rest assured, we will definitely pass on this message. What happened last time was indeed President Wang's fault, and he also regrets it. As for the apology in the newspaper, we can't reply to you on behalf of President Wang, but I think President Wang will definitely be willing. "
Chen Hongming frowned and felt that Wang Ming was overstepping his bounds.
How could he say this casually?
Although Wang Pengfei wasn't famous in Pingchuan, he was still a well-known figure in Shudu.
Not only did he get his ribs broken, but he was also asked to apologize in the newspaper, where would Wang Pengfei put his face?
However, Chen Hongming didn't say anything. He had also interacted with Wang Ming a few times, and he felt that Wang Ming wasn't that kind of stupid person. He definitely had his own intentions when he spoke.
Then, Wang Ming and Shen Qian exchanged a few more polite words, and under Shen Qian's indifferent gaze, he pulled Chen Hongming out of the company Far away.
After leaving the Global Building, Chen Hongming stopped his footsteps.
Seeing this, Wang Ming smiled and said, "President Chen, do you think I'm too flattering?"
Chen Hongming smiled faintly and said, "No, but I think Mr. Wang must have his own reasons, otherwise Old Wang wouldn't compromise so easily."
Wang Ming nodded and said, "Of course I have my reasons. President Chen, do you know who that President Shen is? "
"Far away's general manager? But I heard that Far away's general manager is a man … "
"It seems that President Chen and President Wang need to understand the situation in Jiangbei. Jiangbei's surname is Du, but it's also surnamed Shen. She's the only daughter of Secretary Du, it's not too much to ask President Wang to apologize, right? "
Chen Hongming was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that, no wonder there are rumors that …"
"President Chen, be careful with your words." Wang Ming smiled and interrupted him, then said, "It's just an apology in the newspaper. Not only did it resolve the grudge between Miss Shen and Li Dong, but it also helped Miss Shen vent her anger. It's not a loss to President Wang, I think President Wang will definitely agree."
Hearing this, Chen Hongming smiled and nodded, "That's true, if Old Wang knows about this, he will definitely agree. This guy is thick-skinned, if he apologizes, then he apologizes. Anyway, not many people in Pingchuan know who he is. "
"That's right."
The two looked at each other and smiled, then they tacitly nodded. In any case, it was Wang Pengfei who apologized, it had nothing to do with them, so they naturally had to talk to Wang Pengfei later.
