13th of February.
Li Dong, Wu Shengnan, and the rest boarded the flight to Capital City.
At the boarding gate, Li Dong met up with Hsu Shengzhe and the rest.
There were quite a number of people from Longhua attending the auction.
Although Hsu Shengzhe said that Longhua would not make a move, Li Dong did not really believe Hsu Shengzhe's words when he saw them participating in the auction as a team.
Maybe Longhua would jump in at the crucial moment.
When both parties met up, Hsu Shengzhe sighed. "Li Dong, I'm afraid we can only accompany the Crown Prince this time."
Li Dong raised his eyebrows and looked puzzled.
Hsu Shengzhe explained. "I just received news that there seems to be a change in the auction. There might be a change in the situation of the auction."
"Change?"
Li Dong looked at him suspiciously. He did not even receive the news, and you received the news? Are you that awesome?
Seeing that Li Dong did not believe him, Hsu Shengzhe shrugged. "I'm telling the truth. Don't doubt me. Foreigners like us have always been unpopular. Many people know that we signed up for the auction. I heard that there might be a change in policy from the higher-ups. The auction might be canceled and changed to a comprehensive evaluation method … "
"Where did you hear that from?"
Li Dong frowned even more. He did not believe it. "If the auction is canceled, why didn't we receive any news about it?"
"Just because you didn't receive it doesn't mean others didn't receive it."
Li Dong's face changed slightly. Wu Shengnan and the rest were the same.
Generally, the transfer of land was done through bidding, auction, and listing.
Among the three, the auction was the fairest. It mainly depended on one's capability, and the highest bidder would get the land.
As for the situation of bidding and listing, there were relatively more insider information.
Of course, even so, the three transfer methods could maintain a certain degree of fairness.
As for the comprehensive evaluation method mentioned by Hsu Shengzhe, there were a lot of inside stories.
The so-called comprehensive evaluation meant that after two rounds of bidding, the judges would grade the enterprises based on their qualifications, scale, performance, credibility, industry attributes, project design, etc.
The enterprise with the highest score would be the final winner of the auction.
This was the reason why Li Dong and the others paled.
On one hand, this kind of evaluation method was too subjective, and the judges had the final say.
On the other hand, Dong Yu Real Estate's qualifications and scale weren't very good. If they were to be evaluated, their score wouldn't be too high.
At that time, even if the price from Far away was higher than the others, it was very likely that they would fail in the end.
Because at this time, price was not the only criterion. The proportion was probably less than half.
Far away, there was a high chance that he would return empty-handed if something went wrong along the way.
Seeing that Li Dong understood the pros and cons, Hsu Shengzhe said in a self-deprecating tone, "I've told you before that even if we don't make a move, it doesn't mean that others won't. Just because you don't use your resources doesn't mean others won't. If the transfer method really changes, what can you do even if you throw money at it? Forget it. Anyway, I'm not interested in this area. I'll just look at other plots later. "
Li Dong glanced at him and said coldly, "Don't give me that. Besides, whether your information is accurate or not is another matter. If we really cancel the auction … "
"What can you do?"
"Nothing!" Li Dong's eyes flashed fiercely, "If we really cancel it, I won't play anymore! If I don't play, others won't be able to play as well! "
Hsu Shengzhe laughed and didn't provoke Li Dong any further.
Li Dong's reaction had achieved his goal.
Du Anmin was the mayor of Beijing after all. If Li Dong really made a fuss, it wouldn't be good for anyone.
Of course, if this happened, Far away would only be squeezed out. Not only the Beijing real estate market, but also the Beijing government.
However, whether Far away would be squeezed out was not something Hsu Shengzhe considered. The reason why he mentioned this was because he was worried that Beijing would use this method to transfer land on a large scale.
If Li Dong made a fuss, the Beijing government would also be wary.
Far away might be suppressed, but these foreign real estate developers would have a chance.
Li Dong naturally understood this logic. However, he had prepared for this auction for a long time. If he was eliminated before he even entered the game, how could Li Dong accept it!
It was fine if they were not as strong as others, but they didn't even have the chance to compete. Wasn't this bullying?
Everyone did not speak anymore and boarded the plane.
…
Beijing.
City Government Courtyard.
The Bureau of Land and Resources Chief was still explaining the pros and cons. This was the second time he mentioned this matter.
The first time, Du Anmin did not express his opinion. This time, he must let Du Anmin express his opinion.
"Mayor, the impact of the financial crisis is getting worse. Curbing the rapid rise of property prices is also an important factor in increasing domestic demand. Now, the market is filled with land kings and building kings. This is not in line with our policies. Also, many companies had obtained land plots but did not develop them. The main reason is to hoard the land. If this goes on, no matter how much land is auctioned, it will not drive the economic development. There is an advantage to the evaluation. We can eliminate those hoarders and let those companies who are willing to develop the project enter … … "
Du Anmin listened for a long time and waited for him to finish before saying slowly: "This way, the government will interfere more."
The middle-aged man sitting opposite him quickly said: "This is a critical period. We must take different measures. When the impact of the financial crisis is not as big, we can change the evaluation method. "
"It's not a good thing to change the evaluation method. Also, there are too many subjective factors in the evaluation method. We need more supervision to prevent and eliminate favoritism and fraud. Land Z013 is about to be auctioned. Isn't it too hasty to suddenly cancel the auction and change it to a comprehensive evaluation method? "
The Bureau of Land and Resources Chief quickly said: "We can postpone it. I believe that all the companies will understand. After all, we are doing this to better serve the companies. The central business district has a lot of attention and influence. If we change the transfer model of the central business district, it will have a great impact on the land transfer in the future. At that time, all the real estate companies and financial institutions will see our determination. The government needs a group of companies who can sincerely contribute to the development of the city. It's not like those companies that claim to be developing, but are actually hoarding and speculating in the dark. "
Du Anmin continued to ponder. After a while, he said: "Let me think about it, but … …"
The middle-aged man quickly stretched his neck and listened to Du Anmin continued: "But it is best not to cancel the auction of land Z013. The news of the auction of this land has spread widely and there are many companies participating. If we cancel the auction temporarily, what will happen to the credibility of the government? The discussion of the model is not something that can be done overnight. We can try it slowly. Don't be impatient. After all, we haven't even come up with a strong supervision plan, and the evaluation standards are not unified. At this time, temporarily canceling a few land auctions is not beneficial to us. "
"Mayor, but … …"
The middle-aged man still wanted to say more, but Du Anmin looked up at him.
His eyes were not very sharp, but the middle-aged man's heart sank. He couldn't continue his words.
The middle-aged man smiled dryly and nodded: "Mayor is right. I was too impatient. We will slowly adjust the follow-up plan and come up with a perfect plan as soon as possible. As for the land Z013 auction, we will also hold it as scheduled. "
Du Anmin nodded lightly and didn't say anything.
When the middle-aged man left, Du Anmin sighed.
He insisted on auctioning the land in the CBD not because of Li Dong.
Li Dong didn't have enough face to make him do something against his heart. The main reason was that the political situation in Beijing was too complicated.
Although it was just an auction of a piece of land, sometimes the impact might be beyond one's imagination.
The comprehensive evaluation method, on the surface, was to suppress the soaring of land prices and let the truly powerful companies enter. In fact, the impact was huge.
If they really insisted on using this method to transfer land, after three to five years, the government would breed a large number of parasites.
Everyone knew how much interest there was in the land in Beijing.
Although there were many problems with bidding, and it couldn't eliminate some disadvantages, it was still better than the comprehensive evaluation.
The guy just now really thought that he didn't know anything because he just took office. If Du Anmin couldn't even see this, then he would have wasted his years in the government.
Once he agreed today, all the problems in the future would be his responsibility.
Du Anmin gently rubbed his temples. Where there are people, there is society. No one can avoid this.
He just didn't know who was standing behind the director of the Ministry of Land and Resources.
Beijing was more complicated than Jiangbei.
Jiangbei was just Jiangbei. This was the capital of the country. Sometimes, things weren't just at the city level. There might be other people involved.
The land auction was still a small matter. He was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Du Anmin faintly understood that regardless of whether he agreed or not, the other party had follow-up measures waiting for him.
If he agreed, the probability of problems was very high.
If he didn't agree, Dong Yu Real Estate would enter. It would be fine if Dong Yu Real Estate didn't take the land. Once they took it, hehe …
Du Anmin and Faraway Group had a close relationship. More than one or two people knew about it.
He insisted on holding the auction as scheduled. Far away just happened to take the land. Even if there was no problem, he couldn't stop others from adding fuel to the fire.
Now, the best thing to do was to make Far away unable to take the land. This way, the problem wouldn't be big.
However, would Li Dong agree to it?
Even if Li Dong agreed, did those people not have follow-up measures?
Du Anmin was a little annoyed. At this time, he had a lot of things to do. In fact, he didn't want to waste time on these conspiracies.
The Olympics was about to start and the whole world was watching.
The impact of the financial crisis was getting bigger and bigger. Maintaining the stable growth of the economy was also his responsibility. Yet, there were still people finding trouble for him at this time.
Did they think that they couldn't control the situation as they just arrived?
Du Anmin got up and looked out the window.
After a long time, Du Anmin made up his mind.
Since someone was unwilling to stay put, then they shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.
He had been in Beijing for some time. It was time for him to show his ruthless methods.
…
Du Anmin decided to start the fire first. Li Dong and the others didn't know.
It didn't matter if they didn't know. Li Dong didn't want to get involved in political matters.
He just needed to take care of his own business.
When he left the airport, Shen Qian was already waiting.
Li Dong didn't exchange pleasantries and immediately asked. "I heard the auction will be canceled?"
Shen Qian had stayed in Beijing and had been paying attention to this matter. She shook her head and said. "It hasn't been decided yet. There are people talking about it, but I think it's not possible."
"Why do you say so?"
"Today is the 13th. The auction is around the corner. If we cancel the auction now, the impact will be too big. It might be possible if we cancel it a month earlier. But now, all the necessary preparations have been made, and all the companies that should be coming have arrived. Do you think everyone will agree to cancel it suddenly? "
Li Dong thought for a while and nodded. "That's true."
While they were talking, Hsu Shengzhe also interrupted. "That means the auction will not be canceled, and the comprehensive evaluation will not be used for other land transfers?"
Shen Qian glanced at him and said perfunctorily. "I'm not sure."
Hsu Shengzhe touched his nose. Damn. Women are really fickle.
When Li Dong asked a question, he answered it clearly and logically. When I asked a question, he just said he didn't know and brushed it off.
But now that they were in Beijing, Shen Qian's status was different. Hsu Shengzhe didn't care about this. He asked Li Dong, "Are you staying in the hotel with us, or …?"
Hsu Shengzhe frowned as he spoke.
Li Dong ignored him and turned to Wu Shengnan. "Shengnan, bring everyone to the hotel first. I will walk around with CEO Shen. We will go back at night."
Wu Shengnan nodded and smiled at Shen Qian.
She and Shen Qian were friends. Of course, she knew the relationship between Li Dong and Shen Qian.
Shen Qian rolled her eyes at her. Without looking at Hsu Shengzhe, she pulled Li Dong into her car and drove away.
Watching them drive away, Xu Shengzhe sighed and said, "What a guy who forgets his friends when he's in love. I even accompanied him all the way to the capital. In the end, he just left us behind when we arrived."
Wu Shengnan chuckled. "Don't worry, CEO Xu. We will take good care of you. I promise you will feel at home."
"You?"
Hsu Shengzhe glanced at Wu Shengnan and the other women. He couldn't help but tease them. "Let me take care of you ladies. Li Dong doesn't know how to be gentle. I am famous for being gentle and kind. Boss Wu, come to think of it, where is your man from afar? Li Dong is too repulsive to the opposite sex. Other than Tan Yong and the others, why did he only bring you here? "
Wu Shengnan chuckled and didn't reply.
It was not easy to reply. Hsu Shengzhe was not a good guy. Wu Shengnan didn't want to listen to his nonsense.
She didn't reply, and the others didn't say anything.
Hsu Shengzhe laughed happily at first. But after a while, he became embarrassed.
In the end, Hsu Shengzhe's face turned green. Today was not a good day for him.
"I, Hsu Shengzhe, am the center of attention of women everywhere I go. How come I am ignored now?"
Xu Shengzhe looked hatefully in the direction that Li Dongche had disappeared in and curled his lips. It was all this guy's fault. This guy was a thorn, and even his subordinates had become thorns.
