Li Dong broke the news about Ma Yun, and the reporters were quite satisfied.
Just when everyone thought that the press conference was almost over, they heard Li Dong suddenly say, "Everyone has been paying attention to the recent dispute over housing prices in Pingchuan, right?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their eyes began to shine.
Li Dong naturally would not say this for no reason. In addition, Dongyu Real Estate had recently developed two large residential areas, and many people were paying attention.
As soon as Li Dong finished speaking, a reporter immediately said, "General Manager Li, we are naturally paying attention to housing prices. Do you mean that Far away will make any moves in the near future?"
"General Manager Li, I heard that Far away's Dongyu Real Estate has recently worked overtime to build two large residential areas. Is it related to this?"
"General Manager Li, can you reveal your personal and Faraway Group's attitude towards the rise in housing prices?"
"…"
The reporters asked for a while. Although Ma Yun's purchase of Far away's real estate was sensational, it was just gossip.
In addition, Ma Yun was not as famous as he would be in the future. The news was actually not that important. The possibility of this news making the front page was not high.
However, if Li Dong, the richest man in Jiangbei, Far away, the second largest private group in Jiangbei, made a statement about housing prices, it would be big news.
Whether Li Dong supported the rise in housing prices or not, the reporters simply modified it, and it would not be a problem for this news to make the headlines tomorrow.
Li Dong pressed his hands together and smiled. "Everyone, don't rush. We have time today. Take it slowly. I will naturally tell everyone what needs to be said."
Everyone finally quieted down.
After a while, Li Dong slowly said, "Regarding the rise in housing prices, my own attitude is actually not important. However, Faraway Group, as a well-known enterprise in Jiangbei, should be brave enough to shoulder social responsibility … "
Li Dong said a few opening remarks, and the reporters did not rush to interrupt.
When Li Dong finished his first sentence and spoke again, everyone pricked up their ears.
"In order for everyone to be able to afford a house and live in a new house, Far away's Dong Yu Real Estate is now rapidly developing the government district and the future Binhe New District. The building area was more than a million square meters, and the number of houses was more than 10,000! These new houses would be available for pre-sale in the next three months. The presale price … "
Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Li Dong smiled and said, "The price will be based on Pingchuan's August housing prices. So far away, even if Pingchuan's housing prices double, the price will still be the same! This is what I said. Everyone can report it as you like. As long as it's not fake, whoever asks me will say the same thing! "
Boom!
The conference room was in a mess, and the ear-piercing sound of chairs rubbing against the floor could be heard.
But at this moment, no one cared about this. The reporters all whispered to each other and discussed.
Then someone asked loudly, "General Manager Li, is what you said true?"
"General Manager Li, you said that the presale in three months, can you confirm the time?"
"General Manager Li, the rising housing prices is the general trend. So far away, do you think we can stop the rising housing prices on our own?"
"…"
The reporters were a little confused, and Liu Qi hurried to maintain order.
After a few minutes, the crowd slowly calmed down, but it was still difficult to calm down.
Li Dong waited for them to calm down, then said slowly, "I don't expect to go against the entire real estate industry on our own So far away. That's not realistic. I'm just doing what I can. Pingchuan's housing prices are not low. If we continue to push up the housing prices now, it will actually destroy the healthy development of the entire real estate industry. In order to correct this misconception, it doesn't matter if I earn less. At least we have to let everyone see our determination So far away! "
"I know many people will say that I'm overestimating myself. So far away is not some international consortium. What right do you have to suppress the housing prices?"
"Please don't misunderstand. I, Li Dong, am a businessman, and businessmen naturally want to make money. However, the money I earn is what I should earn. I don't agree with artificially inflating the housing prices. If the market says that Pingchuan's housing prices should rise, then it should. After all, prices have been rising in recent years, and the cost of materials and labor has increased. In order to maintain profits, raising housing prices appropriately, although I don't want to see this, it can only be said that it is the general trend. But I, Li Dong, disdain raising housing prices through means such as closing the market. "
Clap, clap, clap!
There was a round of applause below the stage. Whether the applause came from the heart or not, regardless of whether Li Dong's words were polite or not, everyone had to admit that Li Dong's words were beautiful.
Yes, although everyone did not want to see the rising housing prices, the market was changing, and everyone could accept the rising prices.
But the real estate developers used monopolies, closing the market, and restricting the sale of real estate to forcibly raise housing prices. This made everyone very unhappy.
Reporters were also people, and they also wanted to buy houses.
But the salary of reporters was not that high. Many of the reporters present had not bought houses yet. Now that housing prices had suddenly increased so much, were these reporters not dissatisfied at all?
Although there were quite a few people here who helped to promote the theory of rising housing prices, they were only doing things for money and helping others to eliminate disasters.
Now that Li Dong's Far away was going to restore the original housing prices, which were in line with the market price, most people were extremely supportive.
Regardless of whether they thought highly of Li Dong, even if Li Dong fell short at the last moment, everyone could see the sincerity of Far away.
The applause went on for a long time. When it stopped, someone asked, "General Manager Li, the number of houses Far away is limited. Are there any restrictions on the pre-sale? Or can everyone buy a house? "
The moment he asked, someone hurriedly said, "General Manager Li, can you tell us briefly? I am preparing to get married next year, and my parents are helping me choose a wedding house. If you can buy a house here, I won't ask my parents to go around raising money. "
When Li Dong heard that, he smiled and said, "There are naturally restrictions. After all, there are too many real estate speculators now, and I don't want others to ruin my original good intentions. But there are not many conditions. Currently, I only have two requirements. First, you must be from Pingchuan. Second, you must not be a local, and you must have worked locally for more than three years, and have a stable job.
But even if you don't meet the two requirements, it doesn't matter. Far away is not only in these two areas.
Far away will continue to develop real estate projects in the future. Don't worry, as long as you trust me, you will definitely be able to buy a house.
And I, Li Dong, promise that Far away's housing prices will never exceed the market price.
The market price I'm talking about is a price that both the buyer and Distance can afford after going through all kinds of measurements.
I won't let you suffer losses, but you should at least let me earn some money. Don't you think so? "
Everyone laughed. The reporter who said that he wanted to buy a house nodded and said, "General Manager Li is right. These days, if you don't earn money, you won't be able to do it for long. We definitely won't let Far away do a losing business. After all, Far Away is a business card of Jiangbei's private enterprises. We still hope that Far Away can become bigger and stronger. But General Manager Li, you have to say that you can't earn too much from us. "
"Hahaha …"
Everyone laughed. Li Dong nodded and said, "You can rest assured about this. Although I, Li Dong, have a bad temper, I don't keep my words. I don't think anyone has heard of this before, right?"
The reporters nodded.
Just as Li Dong said, he had a bad temper, and he often hit people.
However, as the boss of Distance Group, Li Dong had not done anything to go back on his word in the past few years.
Since he said this in front of the reporters, he naturally couldn't go back on his words. Otherwise, Far Away's reputation would be ruined.
After these announcements, the press conference was almost over.
Li Dong bade farewell to the crowd and left early.
Liu Qi and Chen Ke, the office members, began to give red envelopes and gifts to the reporters.
Support was support. If the reporters didn't get extra benefits, they wouldn't work so hard when writing their articles.
…
As soon as Li Dong left the conference room, Shen Qian wanted to say something but stopped.
Li Dong smiled and said, "I know what you want to say, but you don't have to worry too much. Whether this time it fails or succeeds, it won't be a big loss for me. Even if it's based on the August house price, I will still make money, and the profit is not low. If it's based on the previous price, I will actually make a lot of money. It's just that compared to others, it's just a little less. But if I can make a name for myself and spread the name of Dong Yu Real Estate, this will be the advertising fee. "
Shen Qian said softly, "I know all this, but I'm not worried about this. I'm worried that the other real estate chambers of commerce will work together to suppress you.
Moving a hair would affect the whole body, and Fang Yuan's current situation was not too good.
The supermarket system is being integrated, and at the same time, we have to compete with foreign companies for the market. In addition, we are also preparing to expand into the East China market.
It's the same for the mall. After this, we will have a large investment in the mall, and we can't see any profit in the short term.
After losing these two profit points, the real estate company is being suppressed by others. The logistics company is now relying on the supermarket and mall, and there is no profit.
The four subsidiaries are in a state of being unable to make ends meet. I'm actually quite worried.
If something happens to the real estate company, it is likely to affect the entire operation of the group, and we will be in big trouble. "
Li Dong nodded and sternly said, "I know what you're talking about. In fact, I'm also worried sometimes. But worrying won't solve the problem, and we can't not do something. Also, you don't have to worry too much. At least, I still have more than 1 billion yuan in the stock market. Adding Baidu's shares and Kelong Supermarket's shares, I have about 1.5 billion yuan. Not many people know about this 1.5 billion yuan, and I will use it if the situation is urgent. With 1.5 billion yuan to save the situation, Far Away's capital chain rupture is unlikely. "
Shen Qian first felt relieved when she heard it, and then suddenly asked, "What Kelong shares?"
The corner of Li Dong's mouth twitched as he dryly smiled, "Didn't I tell you about it?"
Shen Qian was speechless, "What did you tell me? What's the matter with Kelong shares? You mean Kelong Supermarket? "
"Ahem, I seem to have forgotten to tell you about it."
Li Dong scratched his head and smilingly said, "It's not a big deal, actually. It's just that I still hold 15% of Kelong Supermarket's shares. The Kelong Supermarket is developing well now, and its market value is probably around 500 million yuan. The shares I have are probably worth more than 100 million yuan. But I haven't paid too much attention to it. I just said that there's still some money to be used if it's a last resort. "
The corner of Shen Qian's eyes twitched. After a long time, she said, "You're really something. What else are you hiding from me? You actually have Kelong shares too! Does Yao Hong know about it? I suspect he'll die of anger if he knows about it. No wonder you haven't been suppressing Kelong Supermarket recently. Also, you seem to have quite a lot of personal funds. Previously, you took a sum of money from Switzerland, and now you suddenly have money from Kelong. Sometimes, I even wonder if you are a doraemon who can make money out of nothing. "
"That's all I have," Li Dong said with embarrassment. "I don't have any more. I don't have a single cent more. I'm telling you all my secrets now. If all this money is gone, I'm afraid I'll have to beg for food. "
"It's alright. Even if it's gone, I'll support you."
"I'm afraid you can't afford it. Besides, you still have 500 million yuan. How are you going to support me if the money is gone?"
"Then take it easy. Don't do this kind of thing next time, lest I'm worried."
"Got it!"
"…"
