Reinventing the Millennium

On March 15, Monday, it started to drizzle in Shanghai.

This day is the deadline and opening day for bidding for plots 2-3 and 2-4 in Shencheng Zhuyuan Business District. It involves a land area of ​​97,000 square meters, a total construction area of ​​over 400,000 square meters, and an estimated investment of nearly 100,000 square meters. 100 million, may be the final destination of Lujiazui’s “land king” in recent years.

On this day, Shanghai and even the real estate circles in East China and Xiangjiang are paying great attention to the winner.

Unfortunately, no outsiders participated in the bidding and opening of the bid, and the media will not enter. Everyone can only review the entire process and the infighting in it through the results and the few words that have been circulated.

Yes, even if the results haven't come out yet, anyone who knows a little bit about the ins and outs of this bidding is convinced that there is a fight between dragons and tigers here.

However, as a party involved, Fang Zhuo was still hesitating while sitting in the business car heading to the municipal government.

Which one to choose?

Which bid should I choose to submit?

He has been struggling with this for two days.

After a long time, seeing that they were about to reach their destination, Fang Zhuo looked at Liu Suyi angrily and said: "This is the last blood transfusion between Yike and Yongke. If we win this land, we will have two major projects in our hands." If Yongke still can’t play, then there is no need to exist.”

"Sell what should be sold, and liquidate what should be liquidated. Mr. Liu, do you understand what I mean?"

Liu Suyi immediately replied: "Understood, Mr. Fang, don't worry, Yongke will definitely make great strides forward."

Once the land in Zhuyuan Business District was acquired and merged and reorganized, Yongke became the de facto real estate giant in Shanghai.

By then, with the repayments from the first, second, third and fourth phases of Dongwukuai plus the land approval from the commercial zone, the capital chain will be able to be transferred.

Just like Mr. Fang said, if Yongke still can't play like this, it's better to clean up and exit.

Having said that, Liu Suyi has always felt that Mr. Fang is not very interested in real estate, and he is not even sure how much competition there is in this bidding.

This time, is Mr. Fang doing it to protect the dignity of local real estate developers or because of friction between him and the Li family?

"Within two years, I want to see that Yongke has money to invest in ice cores. Otherwise, I will find a president who can fulfill my requirements." Fang Zhuo spoke up again.

Liu Suyi nodded solemnly and added in his mind, Oh, Mr. Fang may be out of love for other industrial projects, which is good, this will not make people want to cry at all.

Fang Zhuo glanced at Liu Suyi and felt that this man was indeed quite interesting to be on the line with Lao Qiu.

He leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to relax. He temporarily ignored the annoying matter of which bid he would get in the end, and instead thought about the unexpected invitation he received yesterday - Japan's Tokyo TV station called Yi Ke and wanted to invite him to participate in one of their meetings. The popular talk show "Tokyo Online".

Fang Zhuo was extremely surprised and surprised. After knowing that the show mainly talked about business points, he specially asked people from the company to watch the previous episodes of the show.

It turned out that this "Tokyo Online" also mentioned himself in the previous two issues, and gave him the nickname "Sony's Enemy", saying that he would try to invite President Yi Ke to the scene to talk about Sony's future.

To this day, "What's wrong with Sony" is still a long-lasting topic in many Japanese TV programs, and it has also led to a big discussion on the Japanese electronics industry.

Fang Zhuo feels that this kind of nickname is quite middle-of-the-road. He is just competing with one of Sony's businesses. What is "Sony's enemy"? Don't forget that he also cooperates with Sony Music. Otherwise, it will fall into the clutches of Apple. Inside.

For this reason, it should be "a friend of Sony".

Fang Zhuo felt that he could agree to this invitation and just transfer through Tokyo when flying to the United States.

The commercial vehicle stopped slowly.

Destination arrived.

Liu Suyi got out of the car first and jogged around half a circle, opening the door and holding an umbrella for Mr. Fang.

"How heavy is the rain?" Fang Zhuo said helplessly, "Can't you act like a CEO?"

Liu Suyi chuckled twice and walked to the municipal government still holding an umbrella, followed closely by two assistants carrying tender documents.

Yongke traveled lightly today, and a total of four people came to participate in the bidding opening.

But other opponents are different.

At nine-thirty in the morning, when Fang Zhuo walked into the conference hall, he almost immediately saw a familiar figure among a group of people.

Hey, Zhou Kaixuan!

It's really you!

Yongke and the others stopped in their tracks following the boss. The two assistants were confused, but Liu Suyi's expression immediately changed.

Liu Suyi knew most of the situation, knew that Mr. Fang attached great importance to Changshi, and also knew that Changshi had only one vice president who was responsible for all aspects of work in Shencheng. Suddenly, the confidante of Lijiacheng showed up again?

Why is she so haunted?

Liu Suyi frowned, but he also knew the reason why Mr. Fang asked him to make a new bid price.

But how did Mr. Fang know the news about Changshi?

Could it be that there are people on the other side?

Or could it be said that the subsequent airport news had feedback from Zhou Kaixuan? Was President Fang immediately informed of her coming to Shanghai?

Liu Suyi's thoughts were rolling in his mind, but he saw the woman opposite walking over with a group of people talking and laughing.

"Mr. Fang, long time no see. I've been too busy these days. If I hadn't just arrived in Shanghai early this morning, I would have come to visit the new richest man in the mainland." Zhou Kaixuan said with a smile, "Congratulations, congratulations, Yike's listing is really exciting. Open your eyes.”

A thought in Liu Suyi's mind was deleted. He felt that this woman's tone was a bit sinister. Congratulations, what does it mean to open your eyes!

Fang Zhuo laughed: "It's just a false name. I believe Mr. Li doesn't care about titles like the richest man. Originally, I heard that there was only Vice President Yao in Changshi this time. I always felt regretful. I thought I would see Mr. Li again. Didn't he come? What a pity."

Liu Suyi silently applauded, and Mr. Fang never mentioned whether or not the woman in front of him would pay her a visit. If you want to benchmark, you are also benchmarking the person behind you.

"Li Sheng is very optimistic about Shencheng's development, but he went to London to take care of something." Zhou Kaixuan said calmly, "He told me to let Changshi contribute to the development of the city this time."

Fang Zhuo nodded, without choking, and showed his friendship as a landlord: "Indeed, this is what I hope."

Zhou Kaixuan was suffocated, but suddenly felt angry and funny in his heart. The new richest man in the Mainland in front of him didn't change his expression, as if what he said to the Li family was someone else's. It was really quite impressive.

At this time, Sun Hung Kai's Guo Binglian, who had been watching from the sidelines, spoke up: "Both President Fang, President Zhou, and we, Sun Hung Kai, all want to contribute to Shencheng."

He said with emotion: "This is a good era for development. Shanghai must be the most dazzling city in this era."

Zhou Kaixuan followed up: "Yes, Shanghai is not only a city that is developing with the times, but the scenery here is also very beautiful. When I got here early in the morning, I didn't feel sleepy at all. I went directly to the beach to watch the sunrise. I only felt that my vision was broad. They are all so rich."

Fang Zhuo asked in surprise: "Is there a sunrise today? I thought it had been raining since night."

Zhou Kaixuan smiled softly: "It seems that the sun rises in the east and rains in the west."

Fang Zhuo was slightly stunned and looked around. This sentence is worth 100 million.

Zhou Kaixuan continued: "The sunrise in the morning was so beautiful, the sea and sky were the same color. I remembered a few lines of poetry at that time."

Guo Binglian cheered and said, "Oh? Mr. Zhou is really in a good mood today. I wonder what the poem is about?"

"To the east is the Jieshi, where you can view the vast sea. Where is the water? The mountains and islands are standing there." Zhou Kaixuan recited the poem, "There are thick trees and luxuriant grass. The autumn wind is bleak, and the waves are rising."

It's Cao Cao's "Guan Cang Hai".

It is the first four-character Yuefu poem that expresses one's ambitions.

Fang Zhuo knew that Ms. Zhou was not satisfied with the role of Lijiacheng's confidante. She was indeed very capable. She was so complacent that she almost considered herself a heroine among women.

He smiled and said: "The heroic ambition in Mr. Zhou's poem makes me surrender."

Guo Binglian was amused: "Mr. Fang, Sun Hung Kai is the one who wants to surrender. I heard that Mr. Fang is determined to win this piece of land today? Are you 38 or 39? You can't go to 40, right?"

The conversation turns to bidding prices.

Even Zhou Kaixuan stopped smiling and looked at Fang Zhuo seriously.

Fang Zhuo laughed: "There is nothing inevitable. Yongke is just a primary school student in the real estate industry. Today he is here to learn from his predecessors."

At 9:45, city leaders arrived. They came to witness the bidding opening.

The three of them exchanged final greetings, and Zhou Kaixuan and Guo Binglian walked to the front row together, preparing to bid.

The bidding time this time is half a month, but except for China Resources and Bailian, the remaining five bidding times are relatively late. Swire and Kerry Properties just placed their bids two days ago, while Sun Hung Kai, Cheung Kong and Yongke have been waiting until The final moments of deadline day.

Guo Binglian invested first on behalf of Sun Hung Kai, and Zhou Kaixuan invested later on behalf of Cheung Kong.

As these two companies completed their bids, only Yongke remained among the seven companies.

There are only ten minutes left before the ten o'clock deadline.

Liu Suyi had become nervous under the gazes of his leaders and opponents, and he felt that his hands were shaking a little.

Fang, Mr. Fang seems to have not decided on the price yet...

Which one to choose?

Liu Suyi felt his heart beating faster.

"I face Jieshi to the east to view the sea." Fang Zhuo said slowly, "The last time someone recited a poem in front of me was in Lin'an. I really miss it."

If I remember correctly, it was a dinner party by the West Lake.

Fang Zhuo missed the lake view of his second hometown for a moment.

"Mr. Fang." Liu Suyi felt that his back was almost soaked with sweat. "Boss, vote, vote, bid. Which one? It's almost time."

He was frightened and panicked. How long had it been since then? Mr. Fang was still thinking about people reciting poems.

Eight minutes to go.

All the leaders on the stage looked at Yongke and his party. Guo Binglian and Zhou Kaixuan also looked at Fang Zhuo with bright eyes after placing their bids.

Fang Zhuo motioned to the two assistants to put the bid documents on the table.

The assistant opened the bag and found the bid documents in two piles.

There are one original and two copies of the tender documents, with a total of twenty-one tender documents in seven editions.

Zhou Kaixuan stared at the tender documents. Even though she thought she was foolproof, she also became a little nervous. What were the prices in these tender documents?

Six minutes to go.

Liu Suyi went to see Mr. Fang.

Fang Zhuo pressed the original version of 4 billion with his right hand and said thoughtfully: "Mr. Zhou came in a hurry to apply early this morning. This is worth adding 100 million."

Liu Suyi hurried to help get the 4.1 billion tender document.

Fang Zhuo didn't answer and continued: "The sun rises in the east and rains in the west. This sentence is worth 100 million."

Liu Suyi immediately went to get the 4.2 billion tender document.

Fang Zhuo shook his head: "The poem "Dong Lin Jieshi" is worth 200 million yuan.

Liu Suyi reached for the 4.4 billion tender document.

"I think the sweat on Mr. Liu's head is worth 100 million." Fang Zhuo looked at the anxious real estate CEO in front of him and praised him for his work enthusiasm.

Liu Suyi's throat was clogged, "Oh my God, I'm going to invest 4.5 billion!" Do you really vote for this?

However, Fang Zhuo had not finished speaking. He finally glanced at Zhou Kaixuan, who was paying attention to his situation, and said, "I wish Mr. Zhou and Li Sheng an early marriage and a happy marriage for a hundred years, and I will give them another 100 million."

He glanced at the time in the conference hall and urged: "Go ahead, Mr. Liu, we will give up if the time is exceeded, hurry up."

Liu Suyi didn't even have time to lament Mr. Fang's inexplicable reason for adding money, and trotted off to bid with the tender document in hand.

"Be earlier next time." The leader on the stage looked at the frightened expression of CEO Yongke and criticized.

Liu Suyi's lips were dry and he forced a smile before he came back to his senses, 4.6 billion!

He immediately felt a pair of invisible hands pinching his neck - Damn, I just invested 4.6 billion!

Mr. Fang is confused!

Mr. Fang, you are confused!

Liu Suyi wanted to thump his feet and chest, but when he returned to Mr. Fang, his face turned pale: "Mr. Fang..."

He shouted, but could not speak.

"Let's wait for the bidding to open."

Fang Zhuo sat in his seat, feeling a little nervous. He believed that the real competitor this time was also nervous.

After all, who will win will only know when the price comes out.

He was a little worried about gains and losses for a while. The Li family couldn't really be that cruel, right? 47? 48? 49? 50?

At ten o'clock, all seven companies invited to submit bids submitted bids. None of them were late, and they were compliant and valid.

These tenders will be issued immediately under public supervision to avoid being tampered with after a delay.

City leaders, district leaders, the bid evaluation committee, and representatives of the seven companies are all waiting to see.

The order of bidding opening is based on the time of bidding, and the first one opened is China Resources.

China Resources, 3.36 billion.

The second one is Bailian, with 3.48 billion, which is almost the limit of mainstream opinion.

Sure enough, the prices offered by the three companies that followed did not exceed this amount, and even Sun Hung Kai's was only 3.4 billion.

Only Xiangjiang Changshi and Shencheng Yongke are left.

Guo Binglian, who had been eliminated, took the time to look at Zhou Kaixuan and Fang Zhuo. Both of them had solemn expressions on their faces, which clearly exceeded the 3.48 billion price tag.

He didn't know what price Zhou Kaixuan would pay, but he knew that the young Mr. Fang would definitely lose this time.

A long and solid tender document was taken out.

Unpack.

Publish price.

4.56 billion!

Far exceeding the quotations of the previous five companies!

For a moment, even though there were leaders, experts, and company executives present, there was still a little commotion. Changshi was really determined to win this time, and the price was really high.

This is 1.08 billion higher!

Liu Suyi grabbed his leg tightly with his right hand to prevent the joy from rushing to his face. He still maintained his facial expression and screamed in his heart.

Mr. Fang is so wise!

Mr. Fang, you are so wise!

Zhou Kaixuan, who was on the other side, had a smile on her face and was very satisfied with the atmosphere in the conference hall. She turned to look at Fang Zhuo's expression, but she couldn't see the look on Fang Zhuo's face.

However, judging from this evasive action, Zhou Kaixuan felt that the outcome was decided. Yongke would never exceed this price. Fang Zhuo had no reason to raise the price to this level in the previous public opinion and competition.

This time it was destined to be the Li family's comeback.

Sun Hung Kai Kwok Bing-lian, who was sitting next to him, had the same thought when he heard the unexpected price. He reached out his hand and congratulated Cheung Kong in advance.

Zhou Kaixuan and Guo Bing shook hands.

The two representatives of the Xiangjiang Consortium looked at each other and smiled.

The discussion in the conference hall did not continue, and Yongke's bid was taken out.

Unpack.

Publish price.

4.6 billion?

4.6 billion…

4.6 billion! ! !

An offer that is only 40 million higher than that of Cheung Kong!

Five companies had less than 3.5 billion, and two companies had more than 4.5 billion. However, the first price was only less than 1% higher than the second price!

The comments that had been just whispered before could no longer be suppressed.

There was an uproar.

The smiles that had not completely disappeared from the faces of Guo Binglian and Zhou Kaixuan froze.

Zhou Kaixuan felt a strong sense of disbelief in her heart. She stood up awkwardly and looked at Fang Zhuo, who had a calm face.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

You have no reason, no reason at all!

4.6 billion!

Why!

However, no matter what, Yongke offered a price that was the best among all.

On the morning of March 15, Yongke quoted a price of 4.6 billion, winning the "Land King" in Lujiazui in one fell swoop, successfully acquiring plots 2-3 and 2-4 of Zhuyuan Business District.

I looked at the monthly ticket, double day, is there hope for 3,000? 3000 this month, more updates next month. ///When I came back at 6 o'clock, I saw that it had exceeded the target... 4000, and 4000 was also added...
