I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 396 "Plot No. 6 is not bad. Actually, I think Plot No. 3 is also not bad."

“President Chen, you are the vice president in charge of project development, please speak first,” Luo Yan said, looking at a chubby middle-aged man.

General Manager Chen's full name is Chen Yilin. He is in charge of two departments: project development and product research and design.

Within a real estate company, the primary responsibility of project development is to promptly collect local land supply information and produce dynamic analysis reports on the land supply market. This includes purposefully participating in land bidding and negotiation meetings to seek new projects and build a pipeline of potential new projects.

This department is very important, equivalent to the functions of the Development and Reform Bureau in a government agency, but Chen Yilin sometimes feels frustrated.

The reason is simple: this was originally his job, but Chairman Fang Qingye took it over!

For example, the affordable housing project developed by the company in the first half of this year was decided by Fang Qingye with just one sentence, without any research or analysis by him, the vice president!

There was also the bidding process for the plot of land south of Huizheng Road in the South New City District. The project development department worked hard for more than a month to conduct research and write a detailed research report, but Fang Qingye, the chairman of the board, didn't even look at it and directly rejected it.

The reason is that Huacheng Development does not plan to develop real estate in Nanxin County, but wants to enter Jinghai City and develop high-end real estate!
Chen Yilin almost vomited blood upon hearing this.

All that hard work for nothing!

Okay, you're the chairman, do whatever you want.
Of course, he still had to perform his duties. Chen Yilin, together with the project development department, conducted a detailed investigation and demonstration on the specific situation of the five residential land parcels for public sale in Jinghai City. Following Chairman Fang Qingye's instructions to develop a high-end community, they finally selected one land parcel. After project demonstration, the land parcel was submitted to General Manager Luo Yan as data. Today's meeting was actually to review this land parcel and whether the company should bid for it.

Now that Luo Yan has called his name, he sorted out his thoughts, coughed to clear his throat, and then said, "After preliminary research and extensive studies, the project team believes that Plot 6, located in the Changqing Road area, is suitable."

"It covers an area of ​​118 mu, adjacent to the Wushan Scenic Area and the natural waterway of the Yangtze River. The surrounding transportation is convenient and the supporting facilities are relatively complete, including the Development Zone Experimental Middle School, the Jinghai Hospital of Jiangsu University Affiliated Hospital, the Jinghai Primary School, the Red Star Macalline Shopping Mall, and Ruici Hospital, etc."

"Of course, this piece of land is in a good location, so the land price is relatively high. The starting price listed by the Municipal Real Estate Transaction Center is 1.65 million yuan, which is 2100 yuan per square meter on average."

After hearing Chen Yilin's words, everyone began to whisper among themselves.

The prices are indeed high. The highest land prices in Nanxin County are currently in the northwest and northeast areas of Nanxin Lake Park, where the average land price is less than 1000 yuan per square meter, while plot No. 6 is more than twice that price.

Of course, the housing prices in Nanxin County cannot compare with those in Jinghai City. However, the problem is that acquiring land requires paying a large sum of money, such as 1.65 million yuan, which severely tests the company's financial strength. Especially given the current sluggish real estate market, this issue deserves serious attention from company decision-makers.

So when Chen Yilin finished speaking, Sun Jia immediately frowned.

Sun Jia is 42 years old and is the company's vice president of finance. She took over this position after Xu Mei was transferred to Shanghai by Fang Qingye to serve as the CFO of Tomorrow Cube.

It turns out he was the head of the finance department at Huacheng Company, and had previously served as the finance manager for several companies in Nanxin, so he had a wealth of work experience.

Hearing that this land would cost at least 1.65 million yuan, I was immediately shocked.

so expensive.
However, she did not speak, and there is still 2.8 million yuan in her account.

"President Luo, what's your opinion?" Fang Qingye asked.

“I’ve already held a meeting with several vice presidents, and we all agree that this land meets our company’s requirements,” Luo Yan said.

Fang Qingye nodded.

In other words, the company's management has already put forward its opinion, and now it is just waiting for the board of directors, as the highest decision-maker, to give its approval.

"I have no objections, Qingye, you make the decision." Song Qingdong spoke up at this moment. Chen Yilin felt a little nervous.

He glanced at Fang Qingye, who was sitting in the first seat, wondering if the young chairman was satisfied or not.
"Hmm, this piece of land is not bad." Fang Qingye nodded.

Fang Qingye's words immediately relieved Chen Yilin.

Fortunately, the development department's work over the past month hadn't been in vain. Just when he thought Fang Qingye was about to make the final decision on bidding for the land, Fang Qingye suddenly said something else:
"Actually, I think Plot No. 3 is not bad either."

Plot 3?

Everyone looked at the documents in their hands.

Fang Qingye continued, "Look, this piece of land is located in the core area of ​​Langshan Scenic Area, covering an area of ​​127 acres. It has a superior environment and complete supporting facilities. There are educational institutions such as Jinghai Normal School Affiliated Primary School, No. 1 Junior High School, Jinghai University, No. 1 Government Kindergarten, and Xincheng Kindergarten, as well as commercial streets, convention and exhibition centers, and the Second People's Hospital."

"Of course, the price is higher than that of Plot 6. The listed price is 1.86 million yuan, which is 2200 yuan per square meter."

Upon hearing Fang Qingye's words, Chen Yilin couldn't help but sigh.

The development department presented him with two plots of land to choose from, and the only other option was plot number 6.

Both plots of land had similar advantages, but he ultimately chose plot number 6 because it was smaller and the purchase price was lower, which would alleviate the company's financial pressure.

But unexpectedly, Fang Qingye took a liking to this piece!
However, before he could voice his objections, someone had already spoken up for him—Sun Jia.

Upon hearing that the asking price for Plot No. 3 was as high as 1.86 million, Sun Jia couldn't help but say, "Chairman Fang, we think Plot No. 6 is a good choice. Since both plots have good geographical environment, transportation conditions, and surrounding facilities, let's choose Plot No. 6."

"Because the required funds are relatively less than those for Plot No. 3?" Fang Qingye asked rhetorically.

“Yes.” Sun Jia did not deny it: “As the vice president in charge of finance, I have to consider the company’s financial capacity.”

How much capital does the company currently have at its disposal?

“280 million, but we need to pay the remaining balance of about 40 million for the first phase of the Yazhu project, 65 million for the start-up capital of the second phase project, 10 million for affordable housing, and the company’s daily operating expenses, so there isn’t much left,” Sun Jia added.

She was giving Fang Qingye a heads-up: although there were nearly 3 million yuan in the account, not much of it was actually available.

Fang Qingye nodded and then looked at the meeting participants: "Does anyone have any further comments?"

Everyone expressed their opinions, with the majority supporting bidding for plot 6 and a minority supporting bidding for plot 3.

It's very simple, it was the chairman who suggested it.

Luo Yan fell silent.

Actually, there isn't a big difference in funding between plot 3 and plot 6. You can bid for either one, but you also need to consider the offers from your competitors during the auction.

But she had a strange feeling that Fang Qingye was unwilling to give up either of these two plots of land.
