Guanghe Group.
When Hu Wanlin heard the secretary say that Li Dong was waiting outside, she was a little surprised, "Why does he have time to come here at this time?"
After reading the newspaper in the morning, Hu Wanlin knew that Li Dong should be in trouble these days.
Right now, this fellow should be in a terrible predicament. How could he still have the time to stroll around her place?
The new secretary didn't know if Hu Wanlin was asking her, but she still whispered, "Boss Hu, do you still want to see General Manager Li?"
Hu Wanlin rolled her eyes. This silly girl asked a silly question.
Li Dong was here. How could she not see him?
Not to mention, Xu Jianghua in Longhua hated Li Dong for a long time when he didn't see him. Her arm was not as thick as Xu Jianghua's.
Too lazy to answer this boring question, Hu Wanlin got up and went straight out of the office.
…
Li Dong smiled and followed Hu Wanlin into the office.
After the secretary poured tea and went out, Li Dong said slowly, "Hu Yue is not here?"
Hu Wanlin chuckled and said, "Hu Yue is not my secretary now. She has grown up. She has to go out and gain experience."
Li Dong laughed and said, "Little girl? Hu Yue is not much younger than you, right?"
"General Manager Li, don't flatter me. Hu Yue is my grandniece according to seniority. I'm taking advantage of her. I'm old, and I have to admit that I'm old."
"Boss Hu is not old. This is the time when the flowers are in full bloom."
Hearing Li Dong flattering her, Hu Wanlin said helplessly, "Okay, General Manager Li, don't be polite. You are not busy dealing with Yao Hong in the morning. What do you want to see me for?"
Li Dong smiled and took a sip of tea. After a while, he said slowly, "It's not a big deal. Help me mortgage Kelong's shares. I need money urgently now. The interest doesn't matter. It's best if you can help me raise 100 million yuan. What do you think, Boss Hu?"
"100 million?"
Hu Wanlin frowned and didn't rush to answer.
Li Dong saw this and said, "Is it difficult to raise 100 million? But Kelong has been doing well recently, and its market value is also rising. 100 million should not be a big deal, right? "
Hu Wanlin shook her head and said, "It's not a problem of 100 million. I have been in this industry for so long, and I still have channels. But now you want to borrow money. Is the pressure that great? Far away, the market value is over 10 billion. You even have to borrow money? Why not go to the bank? "
"I don't have enough time at the bank. Besides, I don't want others to know about this. Mr. Hu should understand what I mean."
Hu Wanlin thought for a moment, then nodded.
Li Dong mortgaged his Kelong shares, indicating that he should have no cash flow on hand now.
This matter should not be spread out. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if something happened.
Ke Long's shares did not have this problem. At least, Ke Long's shares were still under Hu Wanlin's name, and outsiders would not associate it with Li Dong.
Even if others knew about it, they would think that Hu Wanlin borrowed it because she was short of money.
Guanghe Group didn't have such a big business Far away. Although they didn't have a lot of cash, they didn't have any debts.
Even if it was exposed, Hu Wanlin wasn't afraid.
Seeing Hu Wanlin nod, Li Dong smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you. I need this money urgently. Help me settle it as soon as possible. I'll treat you to a meal to express my gratitude when I'm free."
Hu Wanlin rolled her eyes and said, "General Manager Li, you've said this more than once. I've been waiting for this meal for a long time."
Li Dong laughed and replied, "Don't worry, I won't fool you this time. I'll definitely treat you to a meal when I'm done. That's it for now. I still have something to do at the company, so I'll leave first. "
Hu Wanlin got up and sent him to the elevator. While waiting for the elevator, Hu Wanlin whispered, "General Manager Li, you've gone too far this time. I'm afraid Director Yao and the others are going to explode from anger today. Is there any problem on your side?"
"What problem can there be? They can raise the price, but I can't lower it? How much the house is sold for is my own freedom. Yao Hong and the others can't control me. "
"You know that's not what I mean. General Manager Li, I advise you to reconsider this matter. Don't hurt your foundation because of a moment of anger."
"Thank you for your concern, Director Hu. I've thought about this for a long time. There won't be any problems."
Seeing that he insisted, Hu Wanlin didn't say anything else. She hesitated for a while before saying, "I'm not rich at the moment. Of course, if General Manager Li really needs it, I can still scrape together tens of millions."
"Thank you, but there's no need for it for the time being. It's easy to add flowers to a brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in a snowy day. Whether what you said is true or not, I'm very touched. Thank you! "
Hu Wanlin was speechless. "What do you mean by true or not? You can't appreciate my kindness. Forget it. It's normal that you don't want my tens of millions. Anyway, take it easy."
Li Dong laughed for a while. When the elevator door opened, Li Dong cupped one hand in the other before his chest and said, "It's said that evil must be eradicated. Director Hu, this is indeed true!"
When the elevator door closed, Hu Wanlin came back to her senses. Then she laughed and scolded, "This bastard doesn't even know how to praise people. How am I a dog butcher?"
However, thinking of her previous industry, Hu Wanlin shook her head and had to admit it.
A loan shark, even if he had washed his name clean, was not a good person in the eyes of outsiders.
Although Li Dong said a few words of ridicule, it was still better than those who flattered you on the surface, but secretly despised you.
…
He rushed from the Guanghe Group to Far away Building without stopping.
Before Li Dong entered the door, Chen Ke stopped him halfway and said, "General Manager Li, Wang Ming, Mr. Wang is here again. He's in the living room now. Do you want to see him?"
Li Dong looked at the time and said, "Let's go see him. He came quite fast. This guy is almost becoming a personal errand boy now. The project he and Wang Pengfei are working on doesn't have residential units. I don't know why they're involved. "
Chen Ke didn't know how to reply, so she smiled and didn't say anything.
Li Dong didn't want to hear anything from her, so he didn't say anything else. He turned and walked to the reception room.
As soon as Li Dong entered, Wang Ming said warmly, "General Manager Li, I'm busy. I hope I didn't disturb you?"
Li Dong waved his hand and said with a smile, "Have a seat. Why don't you go out on the National Day holiday, Director Wang? Why do you have time to come here?"
Wang Ming smiled bitterly and said dryly, "General Manager Li, why are you here with me? You know why I'm here. I didn't want to do this, I was forced. Everyone knows that I'm familiar with you, so they forced me to come and ask. And that's not what you said last time. "
"Last time? What did I say last time? "Li Dong deliberately played dumb.
Wang Ming was speechless. After a pause, he said, "Didn't you say you wanted to make some pocket money last time? But now … "
"I'm making money now. Do you think I can't make money with this project? "
"No, no …"
Wang Ming waved his hand and said, "That's not what I meant. But since you can make more money, why do you have to do this kind of strenuous and unrewarding thing? You can't take advantage of this at all. Do you think the general public will remember your kindness?
When housing prices rise in the future, they will still scold you.
Unless housing prices don't rise anymore. But do you think that's possible?
Rising housing prices is the general trend, and we can't reverse it. So even if you can suppress housing prices for a while, you can't suppress them forever.
Even if housing prices fall now, they will rise again soon. When that time comes, what will General Manager Li do?
Continue suppressing them?
To put it bluntly, General Manager Li might not like to hear this, but even if you put all of Far away on the line, I'm afraid you won't be able to suppress them for long. Housing prices will still rise, and when they rise too much, no one will remember your kindness.
If you still want to get involved in the real estate industry, you will offend both inside and outside the industry.
I think General Manager Li should understand this better than I do, don't you think? "
Li Dong smiled and didn't say anything. He handed a cigarette to Wang Ming and lit one for himself.
Wang Ming took it and lit it as well. After a moment of silence, Li Dong said, "What did Yao Hong and the others say?"
Wang Ming said softly, "President Yao and the others said that as long as you cancel the presale, this matter will be over."
"And if I don't cancel it?"
Wang Ming opened his mouth, and after a long while, he said in a low voice, "President Yao said that you're like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. In the future, Jiangbei might lose a Dongyu Real Estate."
Li Dong sneered. "What a big tone. I'd like to see how he can make Jiangbei lose a Dongyu Real Estate. Besides, I've already said it. If you want me to cancel the presale now, wouldn't that be ruining my reputation? Go back and tell him that if he has the ability, he can fight me for real. So what if I play along? In any case, I didn't spend much money on these two plots of land, and I won't lose out by selling them half and half for free. What can he do to me? "
Wang Ming's face was full of bitterness. After a long while, he said, "General Manager Li, why bother? We're all doing business, and it's good for everyone. If you do this, President Yao won't be the only one who hates you. I don't dare say that in the entire real estate industry, at least in Pingchuan, there aren't many people who have a good impression of you. "
"It doesn't matter to me. If they don't have a good impression of me, then they don't have a good impression of me. Do you think they'll give me a penny if they have a good impression of me?"
"You can't say that, General Manager Li. I'm a businessman …"
"…"
Wang Ming and Li Dong talked for a long time. Seeing that Li Dong wouldn't budge, Wang Ming finally sighed and said, "General Manager Li, how about we each take a step back? President Yao and the others aren't forcing you to cancel the presale. You can lower the price, but you can't do it at the August price. Since you're doing the presale in advance, you can do it at the current market price.
Based on the market, your government district's presale price is around 5,500 yuan per square meter, and Binhe New District's is around 4,800 yuan per square meter. This price is just right.
Not only will you benefit, but the buyers will also benefit.
President Yao will also be able to give everyone an explanation. After all, it wasn't just one or two people who had blocked the sale this time.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one wanted to offend General Manager Li, but General Manager Li had to give everyone a way out.
You're the one who lowered the price to your heart's content, but everyone has blocked the sale for half a year, and you've ruined the prices that we've worked so hard to pull up. Who's going to bear the losses for this half a year?
General Manager Li, think twice! "
Li Dong frowned and didn't say anything. Seeing this, Wang Ming got up and sighed. "General Manager Li, that's all I have to say. Think about it again."
Wang Ming was just about to leave when he thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "General Manager Li, as a friend, let me give you a heads up. If you continue at your current pace, I'm afraid your ten thousand houses won't be of much use. As for the restrictions you mentioned, they really won't be of much use. If the houses don't reach the hands of the people who want to buy them, in the end, you'll be the one to bear the brunt of the criticism. As for President Yao and the others, they won't lose anything; at most, they'll just have to deal with it. "
Li Dong raised his eyebrows and said indifferently, "They're going to intercept us?"
Wang Ming shook his head. "I'm not sure about that, but it's very likely to happen."
Seeing that Li Dong didn't say anything else, Wang Ming hesitated a little. After thinking for a moment, he said, "But General Manager Li, you can change the payment plan. Once you've obtained the pre-sale permit and the documents are complete, you can ask the residents to pay in full. If you pay in full, President Yao and the others may not have the determination to do so. "
Li Dong glanced at him. Wang Ming gave a hollow laugh and didn't look at him as he hurriedly turned around and left.
Li Dong couldn't help laughing. This guy was still playing this game.
He understood Wang Ming's meaning. This guy wanted to please both sides and not offend either.
This was the helplessness of a small businessman: surviving in the cracks.
In the eyes of outsiders, Wang Ming was a rich bachelor. At a young age, he didn't rely on his parents and had earned a sizable family business.
But in the eyes of tycoons like Yao Hong and Li Dong, who were worth hundreds of millions or even billions, this guy was just a small character running errands.
Quite a few people even knew that this guy had relied on Li Dong to start his business.
Now that he was stuck between Li Dong and the others, Wang Ming wanted to protect his own interests, but on the other hand, he didn't want others to say he was ungrateful, so he gave Li Dong a reminder.
Although this reminder wasn't of much use to Li Dong, in any case, Li Dong still owed him a favor.
No matter what happened in the future, whether Li Dong succeeded or failed, Wang Ming probably wouldn't be blamed for it.
This was also Wang Ming's shrewdness: one more sentence meant one less grudge, and it was a good deal.
Li Dong didn't care about Wang Ming's indecision, but Wang Ming's words reminded him of something.
Actually, it wasn't that they hadn't considered this possibility before, but at the time, Li Dong and the others had thought that if Yao Hong and the others really did this, they would conveniently sell the houses to them and empty out their liquid funds.
But after Wang Ming said this, Li Dong remembered that he had forgotten something: they couldn't give them all the houses.
That was, they could not give them all the houses. If Ping Chuan wanted to buy a house and couldn't even get one, he would definitely rebel.
When that happened, Hsu Shengzhe and the others wouldn't suffer any losses, but Li Dong would be miserable.
If other people couldn't buy a house, they would probably curse Li Dong's eighteen generations of ancestors.
In addition, if they bought the houses piecemeal, even if Yao Hong and the others paid in full, they could take out a large loan, and they wouldn't be under any pressure to take down two of Li Dong's residential areas.
In terms of money, Li Dong didn't lose out, but in fact, he would lose a large number of potential customers.
If he wanted to continue in the real estate industry, he couldn't do it this way.
Now that he thought of this, Li Dong started to think about how he could prevent this situation from happening.
He and Hsu Shengzhe had already discussed selling the houses to Yao Hong and the others, but they couldn't take over all of them. At the very least, they had to keep half of the houses as a backup.
Of the eight thousand houses, four thousand would more or less satisfy their current demand for houses.
As for what happened after that, it would depend on the situation. Maybe Li Dong would have so many houses that he wouldn't be able to sell them all.
