The Era of Hard Work

In the next few days, Lu Dong, Fan Yunming, and Zhang Mingyu met several times, and finally finalized a plan for Sanlian.

During the contact with Taifeng Garden and the Grain Bureau, Xu Man had an idea and made an appointment to meet with someone.

In a coffee shop, Xu Man faced Mo Ke, the general manager of Taifeng Garden, and said softly: "Everything Mr. Mo said is reasonable. If Lu's Catering wins Taifeng Garden, it will definitely solve the wage arrears of all employees. and bonus matters, and give seniority buyout or compensation.”

Mo Ke smiled slightly, this person and this company are still very good.

Xu Man said again: "Mr. Mo can guarantee that they will not become obstacles?"

"Of course." Mo Ke stretched out his hand: "You don't have to doubt my control over this restaurant."

Xu Man nodded, and lowered his voice again: "If Lu's Catering can be won, I will express my kindness to Mr. Mo."

Mo Ke laughed: "I wish your company all the best tomorrow."

After the two chatted, Xu Man came out and got into the car. Xue Tian who was driving asked, "Is it okay?"

"It's just raising this person's psychological expectations." Xu Man shrugged: "We gave a bad check, and the company we won later gave too poorly. This person must have a psychological gap."

There is one thing she didn't say. In recent years, she has dealt with a lot of grassroots units. The small cadres below are quite courageous and wild.

Of course, it doesn't matter if it's useless, it's just a meal anyway.

…………

The black Audi car was parked in the parking lot in front of the Jiangong Building. Lu Kun looked at Lu Dong behind him and said, "Brother Dong, should I go up too?"

Lu Dong opened the door: "Let's go up together. It's always good to know more. Do you want to be a driver for the rest of your life?"

Lu Kun had no choice but to get out of the car, locked the door, followed Lu Dong, and said, "Brother Dong, it's good to drive for you."

Lu Dong waited for him to follow, and said: "Look more, learn more, don't fix yourself in a single position."

The two of them talked, entered the Jiangong Building, took the elevator upstairs, and came to the trading hall of the Construction Exchange, where the land of Taifeng Garden was open for bidding this morning.

When he came to the door, after showing his access card and other procedures, Lu Kun received the number plate asking for the price, and followed Lu Dong into the hall.

There were a lot of people in the hall, and they were all sitting scattered. Lu Dong took a rough look and found that the people were divided into eight or nine small groups. It is estimated that each small group is a representative of a company.

The announcement of the bidding was sudden and the reaction time was short. It is estimated that collusion and impersonation may be less.

Lu Dong and Lu Kun, led by the staff, came to the location of Lu's Catering Company, sat down and waited for the bidding to start.

The relevant materials, documents and procedures have already been completed, and only the placard is left.

After a short meeting, Lu Dong saw people from Sanlian Real Estate come in, and Zhang Tao led the team himself.

The eyes of the two met for a moment, each nodded slightly, and then separated.

Zhang Tao led people to sit in front of Lu Dong's left.

There were also people sitting on Lu Dong's left seat, led by a middle-aged man in a suit.

Before the bidding meeting started, this person saw Lu Dong and came over to say hello: "Are you Lu Dong, Mr. Lu?"

"I am." The person was very polite, and Lu Dong was also polite: "Excuse me, are you..."

The man took out a business card and handed it over with both hands: "I am Guo Ming from Hongchang Development Company."

Lu Dong glanced at the business card and said, "Mr. Guo."

Guo Ming said with a smile: "Mr. Yu of Qiansheng Group has helped me a lot. Mr. Yu told me about Mr. Lu's entrepreneurship, which is admirable."

When it came to Yu Zhanlong, the relationship between the two parties became somewhat closer. Lu Dong said, "Compared to Uncle Yu, I am far behind."

Guo Ming said again: "Mr. Lu, you are in the catering business, why are you suddenly interested in this piece of land?"

Lu Dong's reason is very strong: "The chain restaurant I run needs a large enough place to be a storage and transportation center, and Quannan is the center of Taidong."

To come and not to be indecent, Lu Dong asked, "Mr. Guo is very determined about this land?"

"It's useless to have determination." Guo Ming half-truthfully said: "Hongchang has just been established for two years, and it's just doing some small project development. The location of Taifeng Garden is good..."

His voice was not high, and there was helplessness in it: "At first, I wanted to do some work, and I could always win 30 to 40 million yuan. I didn't expect the competition to be so fierce, and then I started a bidding meeting. Judging from today's posture, the speculation may be very high. There's no hope for me here."

Lu Dong also gave Guo Ming a business card: "I don't have much hope here."

Guo Ming complimented: "Mr. Lu's company is powerful, and there is always something to earn."

"Always try." Of course it was impossible for Lu Dong to say the real purpose.

The main thing is to look at Sanlian Real Estate. According to the news he got, Sanlian Real Estate obtained another sum of money through mortgage loans.

At ten o'clock sharp, the bidding meeting began. Both Deputy Director Niu and Director Zeng of the Grain Bureau came to the venue. Deputy Director Niu said a few words, and then handed over the venue to the professionals who built the exchange.

The land auctions these days are somewhat chaotic, because of the problems left over from the previous decades, many lands are tightly held in the hands of individual public entities or enterprises, and there are always some irregularities in the transfer.

The Grain Bureau was closely watched, so they decided to use bidding, but the time was short and the task was heavy, so the bidding used a simple and clear auction method.

The host first introduced the location, area, purpose, planning requirements and other related matters of the auction land.

The nature of this piece of land belongs to commercial and residential purposes, and all procedures are complete. The base price is 30 million yuan, and the minimum price increase is 1 million yuan each time the placard is raised.

After the procedure is completed, the auction is about to begin.

Lu Dong glanced at Lu Kun who was holding a number plate next to him, and said, "Below 50 million, you will be in charge of holding the cards later... Well, the auction started, and 40 million was mentioned."

If no one wants it, take it for 40 million, and you will definitely earn it.

This possibility is of course infinitely small.

Lu Kun was somewhat nervous. It seemed that what he shouted was a number of tens of millions, but it represented money.

Following Lu Dong's side, he has quite a strong resistance to money numbers, and the palm of his hand holding the number plate still can't stop sweating.

As soon as the host called out, Lu Kun was the first to raise a placard with the excellent response of the recovered soldiers, and at the same time shouted loudly: "40 million!"

After all, he had been in the army and followed Lu Dong for more than a year. Even if he was nervous, Lu Kun still shouted neatly.

Swish! Swish! Swish——

Countless eyes turned around immediately, all of them fell on Lu Dong's side.

Lu Dong remained expressionless and sat still.

Many people knew who Lu Dong was, and they couldn't help frowning slightly when they heard this offer.

Zhang Tao turned his head and glanced at Lu Dong. It seems that Lu's Catering is very determined to win this land?

Sanlian has completely placed Lu's Catering on the opposite side, and is also preparing to cooperate with Carrefour and Dicos. This alone will not allow Lu's Catering to succeed easily.

Besides, Sanlian Real Estate really has ideas about this land.

Sunshine Real Estate called out 43 million at this time.

Zhang Tao raised his sign without hesitation, and shouted directly: "50 million!"

Lu Kun moved his hands and took back the sign he was about to raise. He only shouted once, and there was no chance.

Guo Ming of Hongchang gritted his teeth and held up a sign: "55 million!"

The businessmen in Quannan are not very familiar with this kind of public auction, and they want to raise the price once to scare away other competitors.

Not only Guo Ming from a small company thought so, but also Sanlian from a large company. Zhang Tao raised his card again, and the price rose to 60 million!

Companies such as Sunshine and Sunshine began to hesitate, and Guo Ming simply let go of the number plate. If it was 55 million, he could still fight for it. An additional 5 million was beyond his psychological capacity, and he didn’t know how to raise money. , it is better to give up.

However, Huarun, another large local real estate company in Quannan, was not intimidated by Sanlian and was still raising prices.

Lu Dong has given up, and the price of land has risen to a certain height, which is no longer meaningful to Lu's Catering. Real estate companies can develop on the land, and Lu's Catering can only be a second-hand dealer at best.

At present, housing prices in Quannan, including the university town, have been rising steadily, and even since last winter, the rate of increase in housing prices has become significantly faster.

Policy adjustments and changes in the market are most clearly felt by real estate companies.

Sanlian Real Estate and Huarun Development Company competed vigorously. After 70 million, the two sides began to bite their teeth and increase by 1 million at a time.

This is a soil auction that set a record for the number of bidding rounds in Quannan. After more than 20 rounds of bidding, Sanlian Real Estate finally had the last laugh with 85 million yuan.

When the host dropped the hammer and announced the deal, Zhang Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the price exceeded expectations, Sanlian Real Estate's goal of winning the land was finally accomplished.

The rising trend of housing prices is obvious. If the land is under pressure for a while before development, it will definitely get a relatively rich return.

Those who participated in the auction were basically people from the Quannan business district. After the hammer fell, whoever applauded first, followed by applause in the trading hall.

Guo Ming came to Lu Dong's side again: "Sanlian Real Estate is very determined, 85 million, they really dare to bid!"

Lu Dong's words were full of praise for the leader of Sanlian: "Now the boss of Sanlian has ideas and drive."

In any case, the final winner of this auction is Sanlian Real Estate, and Lu Dong has achieved his goal.

"85 million!" Guo Ming lowered his voice: "Sanlian's stall is so big, where do they get the funds? Their main business of home appliances has been defeated by Guangmei. Do you want to transfer the home appliance business?"

Lu Dong casually replied, "Who knows."

Judging from the current situation, Sanlian will not give up either of its real estate and home appliance businesses, and wants to develop both businesses.

The thinking of the Sanlian leadership is not wrong. Even if it is Lu Dong, it is impossible to easily give up the main business of making a fortune.

In recent days, while staring at Sanlian, Lu Dong is also paying attention to the two companies Carrefour and Dexter that have recently entered Quannan, but these two companies are very quiet, and they have no stance to stand together with Sanlian, the partner of Home Appliances, and fight against the enemy. .

In fact, it is not difficult to analyze that the real cooperation has not yet started, and the interests of the two companies have not yet been mixed with Sanlian.

For the business consortium of Lu's Catering, Guangmei Electric and Ginza Mall, it is undoubtedly the least effort to nip Sanlian's strategy of pulling wages from the bottom in the bud.

Maybe even profit from it.

Lu Dong focused on what some companies needed and what Sanlian had in hand.

If there is a free fall in Sanlian, the effort will definitely be greatly reduced.

When leaving the exchange, Lu Dong ran into Zhang Tao who was going to handle the "Confirmation of Auction Transaction".

They are also acquaintances, Lu Dong smiled and shook hands with Zhang Tao: "Mr. Zhang, congratulations."

Zhang Tao was also laughing, his smile was bright and sunny: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for letting me go."

Lu Dong said: "In the end, Mr. Zhang has the determination!"

Zhang Tao's voice changed abruptly: "It's not that I have determination, it's that Sanlian is strong enough."

This is not wrong. After all, everyone has to admit that the current Sanlian Group is still a big company.

"I won't delay Mr. Zhang." Lu Dong waved his hand: "Goodbye."

Zhang Tao nodded slightly: "Goodbye."

Watching Lu Dong leave the hall, Zhang Tao stood for a while, and said to the people next to him: "Notify the people at the home appliance side, and push forward the cooperation plan as soon as possible."

Of course, the market lost by Sanlian must be regained.

After leaving the Jiangong Building, it was not yet noon, when Lu Dong got into the car, he received a call from Qin Ya, asking him if he was done with his work here, let's have lunch together.

The two sides talked about it yesterday, and Lu Dong asked Lu Kun to drive to Jiefang Road to talk to Qin Ya.
