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

Chapter 398 "You want to copy Fang Qingye's homework?"

After the discussion, the next step was for the board of directors to vote. Fang Qingye proposed bidding for the two plots of land, and Luo Yan agreed. Surprisingly, another director, Song Qingdong, did not object either.

The decision-making level has made the decision; the next step is for the management to implement it, with General Manager Luo Yan specifically responsible for formulating the relevant plans.

After the meeting, the attendees left one after another with different feelings. Fang Qingye returned to her office, but instead of going back, she called Luo Yan over again.

He was still concerned about the 7000 million loan issue.

This is no small sum. Back then, Song Qingdong racked his brains for 2400 million, but this time it's 7000 million.

Fang Qingye voiced her concerns, but Luo Yan laughed and said, "Chairman Fang, I know you've worked in a bank and know many bank leaders. But I can handle this 7000 million. If all else fails, I'll ask you to step in."

Fang Qingye did know quite a few bank leaders. Not to mention the Nanxin branch of Dongfang Bank where he used to work, he was also familiar with President Wang of the Jinghai branch. When he was working at the branch, President Wang also appreciated him.

Yang Kehua, the current president of the Jinghai branch of China Construction Bank, is an alumnus of his school, with whom he had previously dined and is quite familiar with him.

Even summer lotus.

Although she is not currently in charge of loan business, how could she not help if someone really asked her for help? In fact, she would do everything in her power.

But Fang Qingye didn't want to ask about bank loans.

Guangtuofang Technology still has 7 million yuan lying around doing nothing.

If you need money, just borrow it directly. The interest rate is the same as the bank anyway, so why bother asking for help?
He knew Luo Yan had misunderstood, thinking he was using his connections to ask for favors, but seeing her so confident, he didn't say anything more.

Loan-taking is an essential skill for real estate managers; they can't always rely on themselves.

The two discussed some specific details, and seeing that it was almost lunchtime, Fang Qingye drove back to the nursery.

At this time, Song Qingdong had already returned home and was sitting in the living room preparing to eat. Song Dahai had also returned home from get off work, still wearing his uniform.

"Dahai, come here." Song Qingdong called to his son.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Song Dahai asked, sitting down on the sofa next to him.

"Let me tell you about my participation in the Huacheng Development board meeting today," Song Qingdong said.

He is now gradually discussing company business matters with Song Dahai, especially with Huacheng Company, and telling his son about some of the company's major decisions.

Today he briefly described the entire process of the company preparing to bid for two plots of land.

Upon hearing this, Song Dahai immediately laughed and said, "Ye Zi is really bold! Other developers, including our Kerry Group, don't dare to acquire land easily and are taking a wait-and-see approach, but he's doing it right, wanting to acquire two plots of land at once!"

"This guy is really bold." Song Qingdong couldn't help but admire him.

“Hey Dad, I heard you say that our Kerry Group only plans to acquire one plot of land each in Wuyang and Xiping next year? We could acquire more, Kerry Group is much stronger than Huacheng Company,” Song Dahai suggested.

"That Buffett guy has a point: be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful, hehe."

Upon hearing this, Song Qingdong asked, "You want to copy Fang Qingye's homework?"

“Yes! If Huacheng Company can do it, Kerry can do it too!” Song Dahai replied.

Song Qingdong shook his head.

"You're wrong. You can't copy it. Not only can Kerry Group not copy it, but even Tenglong, or any real estate company in Nanxin, can't copy it."

"Why?" Song Dahai asked, puzzled. "Because we don't have our own Tuofang Technology Company!"

"Oh, I see. You mean Ye Zi's Tuofang Technology can provide Huacheng Company with a lot of funding, but we can't." Song Dahai suddenly realized.

"Yes, real estate is inherently a capital-intensive industry; capital directly determines the life or death of a company! Other developers are begging and pleading everywhere to raise funds, even resorting to private lending and illegal fundraising. But Huacheng Company easily borrowed 100 million yuan or more from Tuofang Technology! And they only paid interest at the deposit rate. Which developer can do that?!"

“Dad, you’re right. Our Kerry Group is currently facing a tight cash flow and heavy debt, so we really can’t afford to acquire more land,” Song Dahai said.

“Dahai, I’m telling you this today for two reasons. First, to let you understand Huacheng Company’s decision-making process. Second, if one day Kerry Group falls into a financial predicament and is unable to solve it on its own, and the company is in a life-or-death crisis, just ask Fang Qingye for a loan. He will definitely lend it to you.”

Seeing his father's serious expression, Song Dahai's heart sank, but he immediately smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Dad, with you in charge of Kerry Group, the situation you just described won't happen."

"I don't want anything to happen either, but life is unpredictable, and fortune can change in an instant. Who knows?" Song Qingdong sighed and said softly.

Fang Qingye was naturally unaware of the conversation between the Song father and son. After returning to the nursery and having dinner, nothing else happened.

Luo Yan personally oversaw the sales promotion of the properties and the bidding for the two plots of land, so he didn't need to worry about it; Luo Yan was a very good manager.

Soon, Luo Yan's management team prepared the relevant materials for bidding on the two plots of land. After Fang Qingye reviewed them, they were submitted to the Municipal Real Estate Auction Center to officially participate in the auction.

The auction will be held on October 20th, and will include not only residential land, but also commercial office land, affordable housing land, and industrial and warehousing land for bidding.

Many real estate companies are preparing to participate in this auction, including eight companies from Jinghai such as Jinghai Zhihao Real Estate, Tongfang Science and Technology Park Co., Ltd., and Jinke Real Estate, which have submitted bidding applications.

In addition to local Jinghai companies, there is also a real estate developer from out of town – Country Garden.

Manager Huang Zhihai was sitting leisurely in his office, using a mouse to flip through playing cards on his computer.

He doesn't play any other games, he only knows how to play playing cards. From Win95 more than ten years ago to Win7 now, he plays this game in his spare time and enjoys it immensely.

Just then, the office door was knocked open, and Deputy Manager Cao Rui hurriedly walked in and said...

"Manager Huang, I just went to the Municipal Real Estate Auction Center and got definite news that Nanxin Huacheng Company will participate in this land auction."

"Wow, Fang Qingye actually came all the way to the city to buy land?" Huang Zhihai was somewhat surprised, then asked, "Do you know which plot of land they're planning to bid on?"

"I'm not too sure about that. The bidding application materials don't specify which plot of land you're bidding for; you'll only find out during the on-site bidding," Cao Rui explained.

Huang Zhihai chuckled: "Actually, I can guess it."

"Oh? Which one?"

"Fang Qingye developed affordable housing in Nanxin, but I heard it was because of the county leaders' influence. In fact, he didn't make much money. He won't be foolish enough to do that again this time. Industrial and warehousing land is out of the question. All that's left is residential land and commercial office land."

"It's unlikely to be commercial land either. I haven't heard that Huacheng Development is planning to develop commercial real estate. Their goal is still the five residential land parcels."

Cao Rui nodded in agreement.

"Which area exactly?"

“I think it should be Plot 6. When Fang Qingye was developing Lakeside Residences, he was interviewed by reporters. He said that Huacheng Company would focus on the development and construction of high-end residential projects and luxury homes, taking a boutique route. Plot 6 is perfect for developing high-end residential projects, both in terms of location and surrounding environment. So I am certain that it is Plot 6!”

"Doesn't that mean they'll be competing with our Country Garden again?" Cao Rui said.
