2nd of October.
Li Dong and Far away were once again on the front page of the news.
This time, the few pieces of news released by Far Away had caused a lot of heated discussions.
Taobao's Ma Yun's insta-kill of a house in Far Away Mall had caused an uproar both inside and outside the industry. Many people did not expect that, as the leader of the electronics industry, Ma Yun would actually buy something from a competitor's mall.
Although the scale of Far Away Mall was not big, and perhaps Ma Yun did not care at all, at least in the eyes of many people.
At the very least, in the eyes of many people, Far Away Mall was at least a potential competitor of Taobao. At this time, when Ma Yun did this, many people were shocked.
Of course, most people in the industry could still understand.
After all, the insta-kill activity that Far Away Mall had this time was indeed quite good, and it was very meaningful. Ma Yun had his eyes on this activity, so it was not a bad idea to experience it personally.
The only surprise was that he had probably snatched the most prominent house in Far Away Mall. This house had too many people paying attention to it, and it was impossible to hide it even if he wanted to.
This also caused a huge increase in the number of registered users in Far Away Mall when the news came out.
Originally, when many Taobao users heard that even Ma Yun had participated in the insta-kill in Far Away Mall, their nature was instantly aroused.
Previously, many people thought that the insta-kill of one yuan in Far Away Mall was just a gimmick, and those expensive items such as houses would definitely be decided internally.
But now that even Ma Yun could snatch it, it was obvious that it was not a show that Ma Yun had done to cooperate with his competitors.
Since the house was real, how many people could resist the desire of a house in a provincial capital city these days?
Therefore, a large number of new users flooded into the mall, which was also reasonable.
The people from other provinces paid attention to Far Away Mall, while the people from Pingchuan, and even Jiangbei, paid attention to the second piece of news from Far Away.
Curb the rise of housing prices!
So far away, more than 10,000 properties were going to be sold in advance, and the prices were set at the August price, which would not increase for three months, which surprised many people.
On the day the news came out, Dongyu Real Estate and Faraway Group's phones almost exploded with calls.
Many people called to ask if the news was true. When could they reserve the houses at Dong Yu Real Estate? Could they pay now?
There were also quite a number of people who directly went to the site for inspection. There were at least a hundred groups of people who went to the government district and the Binhe New District in one day.
When these people were done watching, the calls from afar became even more intense.
These two pieces of land were indeed very good. Although the administrative district and Binhe New District were not considered the city center, they were more suitable for living.
The environment was good, the traffic was good, and the potential for development was great. It was also not too far from the city center.
Moreover, in the future, the subway line would be completed, and the time to enter the city would be shorter. This made many people who were originally planning to buy a house in the city center change their minds.
Far away, they could also see that the progress of the house was very fast.
It had not been long since they started, and the foundation was almost completed. After the foundation was poured, the house would probably be built within a year.
As long as there was no problem with the funds, it meant that they could get the house in as soon as a year.
It was normal to buy a new house now, in addition to the existing house, it was normal to get the house after a few years. Far away's construction progress was more than 50% faster than others, which made many people tempted.
Of course, the most important point was the housing price.
Although the housing price in Pingchuan in August was not low, many people could still afford it. Compared to the current housing price, it had dropped by almost 10%.
Buying a house would save tens of thousands. This strong sense of contrast was also the reason why the house Far away was so popular even before it was launched.
…
While others were discussing, struggling, and busy, Li Dong naturally could not stay idle.
At this moment, he was busier than anyone else.
In the office, Wu Shengnan, Shen Qian, Liu Hong, Yuan Chengdao …
A large group of people poured in. Li Dong's hands and feet were constantly reading documents, and he had to answer their questions at the same time.
When Liu Hong reported that the number of registered users had reached 2.2 million, Li Dong interrupted, "Manager Liu, you can go and do your work. You don't have to report until the number reaches three or four million. Reporting good news once is good news, but reporting too many will give me a headache. "
Liu Hong smiled and said in a low voice, "General Manager Li, I will leave after I report one last thing."
"What is it?"
"Our server needs to be upgraded. There are too many people now, and I am afraid that it will cause a crowded user experience. We have to update the system in advance while the number of people has not reached that level yet. "
"Then do it. You don't have to report this kind of thing to me. Isn't CEO Shen here?"
Shen Qian, who was next to him, said gloomily, "What's the use of telling me? The key to upgrading the server is money. I can't make money, so I can only let him come to you."
Li Dong said helplessly, "Alright, I got it. Then upgrade it, and upgrade it to the top in one go. At least ten million people must be able to shop online at the same time. Just tell me, how much money do you need? "
"30 million!"
Li Dong almost spat on him. He rolled his eyes and said, "Why do you need so much money? What server is so expensive? "
Liu Hong complained bitterly, "General Manager Li, not only the server, but also the system needs to be modified. The shopping mall needs to be revised, and some places need to be improved on a large scale to satisfy the users and get the best experience. 30 million is really not a lot. These things burn money anyway. "
Li Dong took a deep breath and said, "30 million it is. You guys can spend it sparingly. I will inject 100 million into the shopping mall later. This 100 million is what I begged and begged for. The previous after-sales network layout, as well as the improvement of the transportation system, are all in this 100 million. Let's put the promotion aside for now. When I have more money, we can save the money for the promotion now. "
Liu Hong nodded hurriedly. Li Dong waved his hand and sent him away.
After he left, Li Dong said to Yuan Chengdao, "You are talking about the equity incentive plan. I agree. Hurry up and implement it. If you are short of people, let Liu Qi and Chen Ke work with you. You can use the members of the board of directors now. In addition … "
Li Dong glanced at Liu Qi and said, "Go and open the office next to Director Sun. From today onwards, Director Yuan will work at the headquarters. You guys can help Director Yuan prepare whatever he needs."
Yuan Chengdao's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything. Liu Qi hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, General Manager Li."
"Go. In addition, let Director Yuan take a look at some of the more important documents of the group. At least he should have a general understanding of the group's operation process."
"Okay!"
After Li Dong finished speaking, Shen Qian and Wu Shengnan all showed a look of congratulations to Yuan Chengdao.
Li Dong opened the office next to Sun Tao and let him use the members of the board of directors. He also let Yuan Chengdao understand the group's operation process. His intention was obvious.
Although it had not been clearly announced, as long as there were no major accidents, Yuan Chengdao might soon take over Faraway Group.
Yuan Chengdao remained calm and gently bowed to Li Dong, then left the office with Liu Qi.
As the number of people decreased, Li Dong was slightly relieved and said to Wu Shengnan, "What do you want to say?"
Wu Shengnan said helplessly, "General Manager Li, what I want to ask is, how should we deal with those customers who have a strong desire to buy?"
"Now these customers who are preparing to buy have seriously interfered with our project progress and working time. There are still two or three months left for the pre-sale period. I'm afraid there will be accidents in these two or three months. "
Li Dong rubbed his temples and thought for a moment. "You don't have to worry too much about this. It will be fine after a few days. I will let the experts continue to advocate for price reduction in the market. In addition, I will arrange for some small real estate developers to sell their properties at low prices. The heated atmosphere will subside. As for the housing pre-sale, you get the permits as soon as possible. I don't want any mistakes. I give you three months, but you must get these done within two months and prepare for the pre-sale. Leave us a month to take precautions. Is that okay? "
Wu Shengnan nodded first, then whispered, "There is no big problem with the pre-sale, but if someone makes trouble …"
"Do as you see fit. Isn't Shen Qian here? It's not like you two don't know each other. We will go through the formal procedures. Whoever makes trouble, you will find them. Do you need me to teach you this? They are full of sh * t. I am already doing them a favor by not exposing their dirty laundry. Don't blame me for not being polite if they grab my neck now. I won't be the one who is finished. "
Wu Shengnan smiled bitterly, nodded, and did not speak again.
Li Dong made it sound simple. The key was that if he flipped the table, he would really be finished.
At that time, it would not only be the table of Pingchuan real estate developers, but the table of all the real estate developers in the country. Those real estate tycoons would hate Li Dong to death.
It was okay to play tricks in business.
But some hidden rules could not be touched. Once a move like this was done to expose the dark side of the entire real estate industry, it would be beyond redemption.
Li Dong was trying so hard to think of ways to compete with those real estate developers, but he did not dare to flip the table easily. This was what he was afraid of.
Otherwise, if he really exposed all those dark things, things would get out of hand.
At that time, he would not be able to help others, and he would be finished. What was the concept of the entire real estate industry? A real estate developer spent 100 million, and Li Dong's Far away would also be crushed by the money.
After saying this, Li Dong saw that Wu Shengnan had not left. He frowned and said, "Is there anything else?"
Wu Shengnan said awkwardly, "General Manager Li, there is something else I want to tell you."
"Go ahead."
"The 50 million you invested in the early stage has almost been spent …"
"Money again!"
Li Dong shook his head. "Can't you give me some good news? Other than money, it is money. I am going crazy! 50 million is not toilet paper. How can it be spent so quickly? "
"The previous community invested more than 30 million. Now that the two construction sites have started, 20 million is gone. I really have no choice."
Li Dong took a deep breath and asked, "How long will the pre-sale of Mingyuan Community take?"
"At the end of October."
Li Dong frowned. At the end of October, that means it will take at least a month for them to get the money.
After thinking for a while, Li Dong said, "How much money do we need to sustain these two construction sites?"
"Maintain the current progress of the project?"
"Yes."
"At least another 50 million!"
Li Dong exhaled. 50 million meant that the early stage investment was more than 70 million. He had a headache spending money.
Hsu Shengzhe's 100 million was invested in the mall. He did not have any more money now.
After a moment of silence, Li Dong continued, "The project cannot stop. Continue. I will settle the money. In less than three days, I will allocate 50 million to Dongyu Real Estate. You all need to spend it sparingly. Hsu Shengzhe said that the early stage investment is enough. I have spent 70 million a month. When can you all learn from Longhua? "
Wu Shengnan wanted to cry but had no tears. "General Manager Li, Longhua's reputation has been accumulated for many years. They have contracted many projects and do not need to spend a single cent in the early stage. There are many contractors who are rushing to pay for them. We can't do that. Dongyu Real Estate has not reached that stage yet. "
"Phew, I know. Go. Don't worry about the money. I will settle it."
Wu Shengnan nodded and quietly left the office.
When only Shen Qian was left in the office, Shen Qian saw him frowning and could not help but say, "If there is no other way, I can still think of a way …"
Li Dong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Don't go to the Shen family. I don't know that you got the 500 million from the Shen family. I heard that you sold your shares in the Shen Group to get the money. I don't feel comfortable using this money. What happened before was unavoidable. Now, you don't have to lower your voice and beg others. "
With a smile on her face, Shen Qian said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who is begging others humbly? My mother is a shareholder of the Shen Group. I used to be one too. The money I spent was left by my grandfather. What right does others have to ask me to beg? I mean to borrow some money from my mother. It's not that I won't pay her back. My mother has a lot of cash. "
"Don't!"
Li Dong said with a wry smile, "Don't mention your mother. I am guilty. You make it seem like I am cheating you. It's only 50 million. I can settle it myself. "
"But where do you get the money? The supermarket has so little liquidity now. You can't use it. "
"I know. It's not the supermarket. Forget it. Don't worry about it. I will go out and raise money. 50 million is not a lot. I don't believe that my face, Li Dong, is not worth 50 million."
Shen Qian rolled her eyes. This guy was too chauvinistic.
It was all about borrowing money. What was the difference between borrowing money from his mother?
But since Li Dong said so, Shen Qian did not make it difficult for him. She just said, "If you really can't do it, you must tell me. The construction site cannot stop. Once we stop, it will be a big problem."
At this time, outsiders could not see the real situation of Far away, and they did not know what was Far Away's backup plan.
But if the construction site stopped, people with discerning eyes would naturally know the reason.
If there was a problem with the supermarket, it would really be a big problem.
Now Faraway Group was mainly based on the supermarket. This was the cornerstone. If the supermarket was messed up, then Far Away would not be far from the end.
Li Dong nodded and did not explain much. He put on his coat and walked out.
