"General Manager Li, please wait!"
Xu Jianghua's panting voice came from behind, and Li Dong stopped.
Xu Jianghua wasn't young, and he was already sweating after running for such a short distance.
Fortunately, Li Dong slowed down on purpose. Otherwise, he would have been in the car by now.
Although he was angry, Li Dong wouldn't just leave like that.
If he really left, then no one would be able to back down. Even if it wasn't because of him, Jia Wenhao and Xu Jianghua would still be unhappy.
Xu Jianghua didn't want to offend Li Dong, and Li Dong didn't want to offend them for no reason.
When Li Dong stopped, Xu Jianghua heaved a sigh of relief. He walked up and said with a bitter smile, "General Manager Li, your temper is still so fierce. Today's matter is really a big blunder. It's definitely not what you think. I specially invited General Manager Li over. Could it be that I want to chase General Manager Li away? We will investigate this matter clearly, and we will definitely give General Manager Li an explanation. However, I hope that General Manager Li can give me some face. Governor Jia has always wanted to talk to you. If you leave, then this meeting can't be held. "
Li Dong laughed and said, "General Manager Xu, don't misunderstand. It's just a seat arrangement. Do you think I, Li Dong, am such a petty person? Something really happened in the company. Yuan Chengdao called me five to six times in a row, and I was helpless. Otherwise, how could I leave just like that since I'm already here? I'm also eagerly looking forward to this meeting. I hope that there will be a good result, and that Jiangbei's real estate industry can get better development. If it's not really something, I can't just not give face to Governor Jia and General Manager Xu, right? "
Although Xu Jianghua knew that he was full of nonsense, he still replied with a smile, "It's natural to be busy. I can understand this matter. However, General Manager Li, since you're already here, it's fine to delay it for a while. If it's really urgent, you can even deal with it over the phone during the meeting. You're the guest of honor for today's real estate conference. If you leave, then wouldn't everyone have come for nothing? "
Li Dong looked hesitant. "Wouldn't that be bad?"
"It's okay, General Manager Li. Besides, I have something important to discuss with you. If Director Yuan calls again, tell him to contact me. I'll pay for any losses. Is that okay? "
Xu Jianghua had a smile on his face. Li Dong hesitated for a moment and finally said helplessly, "Alright, then I won't care. As for losses, I don't think so. Even if there are losses, I won't let Chairman Xu pay for it. I, Li Dong, am not that kind of person. "
"Hahaha, I knew that General Manager Li is a straightforward person. Shall we go in together?"
"Chairman Xu, please."
"Together, together."
The two of them pretended to be courteous for a while before they walked back to the conference room side by side.
Wu Shengnan and the others, as well as the people from Longhua, didn't seem surprised at all. Anyone with a brain would know that this would be the end result.
However, this matter wouldn't end so easily.
The impact of this happening at the real estate summit was not small.
In the end, someone might be in deep trouble.
As for who would be in deep trouble, there would probably be a fight after the summit.
…
When they returned to the conference room, the location had changed.
The nameplate of Dongyu Real Estate had appeared in the first row, next to Longhua Real Estate.
Jia Wenhao looked at Li Dong with a smile and said, "General Manager Li, I just arrived and you left. I was confused. Is everything alright now?"
Li Dong quickly smiled and said, "Governor Jia, I'm really sorry. I was too anxious just now. Coincidentally, something happened at the company. I'm sorry for the trouble. "
Jia Wenhao smiled and said, "It's fine. Far away is fine. Chairman Xu, General Manager Li, please take your seats."
Li Dong and the people from Longhua took their seats, while Jia Wenhao returned to the rostrum.
There weren't many people on the rostrum. This time, no real estate developers were arranged to sit on the rostrum. Other than Jia Wenhao, there were also some government officials and people from the Real Estate Association.
Li Dong glanced around and found that there were a few experts, but he didn't pay much attention to them.
The conference was hosted by the president of the Real Estate Association. The opening theme was "Integration and Innovation, Reform and Breakthrough."
Li Dong didn't pay much attention to these official languages.
After listening for a while, Li Dong turned to look at Xu Jianghua and said, "Chairman Xu, I heard that there will be a discussion about Su 'an New City later?"
Xu Jianghua lowered his voice slightly and said, "This is one of the themes. The provincial government attaches great importance to the development of Su 'an New City. Now that the development of Su 'an New City is progressing poorly, the government hopes to speed it up.
Of course, this is all consensual.
The provincial government will provide many policies, including VAT exemption, lower land prices, bank loan guarantees …
"Actually, to be honest, I'm afraid that everyone will be fighting to participate.
Su 'an New City isn't big, and there are only so many resources. Now that there's a chance to participate, I think everyone is looking forward to it.
"Of course, if General Manager Li can join in, that would be even better. Dong Yu is quite capable, and I believe that with Dong Yu's participation, the development of the new city will be more effective."
Li Dong smiled and said, "Let's see how it goes. So far away, there isn't much inclination toward real estate. The development of the new city is also a big investment, but if it's really like what Chairman Xu said, we won't fall behind no matter how tight our funds are. "
"…"
While the two were talking, the person on the rostrum had already changed.
The person speaking was the director of Jiangbei Development Research Center, who was also a well-known local economic expert in Jiangbei.
The main content of the evolution was the few major topics that commercial real estate development couldn't avoid, such as the macro-economy, national policies, and consumption trends.
Although the direction was a little big, everyone listened with great interest.
This was different from the private experts. This was the government's expert.
To a certain extent, his speech represented the government's attitude, as well as some of the regulatory issues.
Real estate developers were most concerned about these issues. People like Li Dong could always get some information in advance, and they could effectively avoid losses.
But some small real estate developers weren't as capable as them. They were always aware of the government's inclination.
Now that they had the opportunity to listen to the Jiangbei Provincial Government's attitude, it would be good for their future development.
After listening for a while, before Li Dong could speak to Xu Jianghua, Xu Jianghua took the initiative to say, "Looks like the housing market is going to be good. This is good news for our enterprises."
Li Dong smiled and nodded. "It's good news. Looks like Longhua is going to make a fortune again."
Although he said that, Li Dong didn't agree with him in his heart.
The expert on the rostrum might really represent the Jiangbei Provincial Government's attitude, but Jiangbei Provincial Government didn't necessarily represent the country's attitude.
Moreover, as the situation changed, it was hard to say if Jiangbei Provincial Government could maintain its current attitude.
The sub-prime mortgage crisis was getting worse and would soon sweep the whole world. At that time, the favorable policies promised by the expert would become empty words.
There were no concrete documents issued, and there was no real financial support. In the end, it was all talk and no action.
…
The speech lasted for a long time. Li Dong almost fell asleep listening to the end.
Other than a few experts on the rostrum, there were also a few business consultants who gave passionate speeches on the rostrum.
This included Longhua's chief consultant. Far away, no one went on the rostrum.
Speeches were naturally not the main content of the meeting. After these people stirred up everyone's emotions, Jia Wenhao personally went on the rostrum and talked about some issues related to the new city.
As the host of the new city development, Jia Wenhao's career was closely related to the new city.
The earlier the new city was put into use, the earlier he would be able to achieve such a great achievement.
The development of a new city in a prefecture-level city from scratch was rare in the country.
If Jia Wenhao could really succeed, then all the previous efforts would be worth it.
In order to attract these developers to the new city, Jia Wenhao promised a lot of benefits. Even if the benefits he promised were empty words, they were more trustworthy than the others and even more trustworthy than the documents.
Jia Wenhao wanted to quickly complete the new city plan, so how could he not bleed?
He also wouldn't lie to everyone about this. Otherwise, if there were any problems later, he wouldn't be able to escape.
After Jia Wenhao finished talking about the policy topics, no one else went on the rostrum to give a speech. Instead, they split into groups to discuss.
As Li Dong and Xu Jianghua were chatting, Jia Wenhao walked over and smiled. "General Manager Li, you looked sleepy just now. Are you not tempted by what I said?"
Li Dong stood up and said, "Governor Jia, you've wronged me. Who wouldn't be tempted by a profitable business deal? The key is that our capital is not strong enough. We can't compare to Longhua's wealth. Even if we go to the new city, we can only get some scraps. But don't worry, Governor Jia. We have already started the project for the new city's shopping mall. Before the end of the year, Far Away will officially invest in the construction and build the largest shopping mall in Jiangbei. This is the goal of Far Away. "
The shopping mall plan had been proposed for some time. Back then, Li Dong went to the new city to buy land because of this.
This was also the reason why Jia Wenhao was willing to support Li Dong.
As a strategic location that connected the four provinces, Li Dong also had his eyes on the new city's location. He had long wanted to build the largest shopping mall in Jiangbei.
But because of funding problems, the construction period was delayed.
Li Dong thought for a while. This matter couldn't be delayed for too long. If it was delayed any longer, Jia Wenhao would be dissatisfied.
In addition to the 500 million he got from Han Yu, he could pretend that he never took the money. It should be enough to invest in the shopping mall.
Even if it was a little, it shouldn't be too far off.
And Su 'an New City was determined to be a commercial city. In addition, it was connected to the four provinces. It shouldn't be a loss. There was still a lot of room for appreciation.
Hearing Li Dong's promise, Jia Wenhao's eyes lit up. "General Manager Li, are you serious?"
Li Dong hurriedly said, "Of course. I was just discussing this with Chairman Xu. Back then, the land around the shopping mall was bought by Longhua. I didn't have much land left. But now that the project has been approved, the area of Su 'an shopping mall might exceed our expectations. I'm asking Chairman Xu to support me. "
Xu Jianghua laughed. "That's natural. General Manager Li, just say the word. Longhua will definitely support you!"
Xu Jianghua's words were sincere. He was even secretly delighted.
Even if Li Dong wanted a few acres of land and didn't pay a single cent, he would be happy.
To build the largest shopping mall in Jiangbei. It might even be the largest in East China.
What did that mean?
If it was really built, the land around the shopping mall would probably increase by more than 50%.
Back then, when Li Dong sold his land, he sold the surrounding land.
If the land prices increased, Longhua would be the biggest beneficiary.
Of course, it wasn't that simple. Li Dong was just saying it. If he really wanted to build the largest shopping mall in East China, it would cost a lot.
Jiangbei was the largest. An investment of 500 to 600 million should be able to build it. After all, Li Dong didn't spend much money on the land.
East China was the largest. It would cost at least 1 billion.
But no matter what, as long as the shopping mall was built, Longhua would profit.
The few of them discussed this topic for a while. Then, they talked about the development of pedestrian walkways and security housing.
But this matter wasn't under Jia Wenhao's jurisdiction. Everyone stopped talking about it.
If they really wanted to work on it, one meeting was obviously not enough. They still had to talk to the government.
As they chatted, the staff next to Jia Wenhao whispered a few words in his ear.
Jia Wenhao nodded without batting an eyelid. After they left, Jia Wenhao chuckled and said, "Director Li, it's settled then. Also … "
Jia Wenhao paused for a while and said, "The Real Estate Association has investigated the previous matter. When arranging the seats, the staff took the wrong nameplate. This was a mistake on the Real Estate Association's side. I will order the association to rectify it. Other than that, General Manager Li hasn't joined the association. Why don't we take this opportunity to let Dong Yu Real Estate join the association? I think General Manager Li is qualified to be the Deputy Chairman. "
After Jia Wenhao finished, Chairman Liu smiled and nodded. "Actually, we have invited Dong Yu Real Estate before. But General Manager Li has been busy and didn't care. If General Manager Li is willing to join the association, not to mention the Deputy Chairman, I think General Manager Li can also be the Chairman. When the time comes, I will help General Manager Li … "
Li Dong immediately said politely, "Chairman Liu, don't say that. I'm too ashamed to show my face. As for joining the association, I will discuss it with CEO Wu. If everything goes well, we will submit the application very soon. But there's no need to be the Deputy Chairman. With Dong Yu's current scale, I really don't have the face to show my disgrace. "
"General Manager Li is too humble …"
"…"
Everyone exchanged pleasantries and finally didn't continue this topic.
When the meeting was over, it had been three or four hours.
Li Dong didn't participate in the rest of the matter. When they left, Li Dong's face turned cold. He turned to Chen Ke and said, "Investigate the matter! I want to see who wants to go against me! "
As for Jia Wenhao's words, Li Dong didn't take it seriously.
Mistakes?
How could there be so many mistakes?
Moreover, Jia Wenhao had asked him to join the association and be the Deputy Chairman. This was obviously an attempt to make peace.
Jia Wenhao wasn't an ordinary person. Based on what happened before, Jia Wenhao should have punished some people.
In the end, he chose to make peace. Obviously, he felt that this matter wasn't worth fighting over.
In addition, he also beat around the bush to tell Li Dong to forget about this matter. After all, Li Dong didn't suffer any losses. Not everyone could be the Deputy Chairman of the Real Estate Association.
This was considered a semi-official organization. The Chairman was an official.
If Li Dong could get this position, it would be easy for him to enter the Provincial People's Political Consultative Conference in two years.
Now, although Li Dong had a lot of titles, he was missing something very important.
That was his official position!
Even if the District People's Political Consultative Conference members looked down on Li Dong, no one would mention it.
Logically speaking, Li Dong could become a Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference member now.
However, he was too young. It wasn't good for him to suddenly hold a position. Although he was rich, he still had to follow some rules.
However, as long as he held the title of Deputy Chairman of the Real Estate Association, he could even skip the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference in two years. At that time, Li Dong would only be 24 or 25 years old. He was considered one of the more accomplished people.
It was a pity that Li Dong didn't care much about these things. If he became the richest man in Hua Xia, these things would be at his beck and call.
A businessman's capital was his capital. Only with capital could he have a reputation.
Without capital, everything was empty.
This time, it was obvious that someone was going against him. However, Jia Wenhao wanted to make peace. It seemed that the other party had a powerful background. Li Dong naturally had to find out what was going on.
