I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 136 So this is what it feels like to be the number one ranked guy.

"Mr. Zhang, it's not like having a lot of money makes you great. How can you do business like this?"

"I heard that when people from Hong Kong or South Korea came here for inspections before, you didn't have this attitude. What, now that I'm not a foreign guest, you feel less pressured?"

Zhang Da'an opened a can of soda, took a casual sip, and then said, "As for me, I'll say it again: if you give me face, I'll take this land; if you don't, I'll leave immediately."

"Mr. Zhang, don't forget, this isn't your hometown Jiangkou, this is Jicheng. Even if the land is yours, do you think land development is something that can be done with just a few words? It requires manpower and labor. Without a permit, you can't even drive your construction vehicles within five kilometers of Daming Lake, do you believe that?"

"Then I won't argue anymore. Goodbye."

After saying that, Zhang Da'an stood up and said to the speechless "professional team," "Withdraw the bid. I don't understand real estate at all. This is all so nonsensical. Let's go."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhang Da'an actually led his men away, showing no intention of making any further effort.

The others stared at each other, feeling as if they'd seen a ghost. What was this young man from out of town doing?!
The local boss who had previously politely advised Zhang Da'an not to be too arrogant stood up and greeted his friends, saying, "Excuse me for a moment."

He and his assistant jogged all the way outside before calling out, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang..."

"Hey bro, what's up?"

"My name is Su Xibai."

He handed over a trendy, high-end business card, glanced at it, and wrote: "Chairman of Songbai Instrument & Equipment Co., Ltd..."

Is Xibai a name that can live up to?
It's highly unlikely to survive; it's probably going to flop.

"What would you like to talk about, Brother Su?"

"If Mr. Zhang has some free time..."

"I don't have time. Tell me now, and I'll leave after I finish."

"..."

Su Xibo paused for a moment, then said, "It's about a collaboration, our company..."

"No need for self-introduction. Just bring your documents and people, go to Jiangning, then to the Chengdong District. Take this business card, and the rest is just waiting to count the money. As for the technology, Jiangning Institute of Technology, Jiangning University of Science and Technology, Jiangning Aerospace University, Jiangning University of Technology, and Taihu University of Light Industry will have professional teams to help you design production lines or modify existing ones. You don't need to have any ideas; just lie down and obey."

"..."

“You are stronger than the people inside, so I plan to support an iconic puppet.”

"..."

Su Xibo's face twitched slightly as he thought to himself, "If my company weren't struggling, would I be putting up with you, you bastard? Look at your face, do you even look human?"

Are you even speaking human language?!

And you have the audacity to claim that you designed your own production line? My production line is a decommissioned one that I specially salvaged from South Korea. What are you pretending for?

Unfortunately, his heart was filled with restlessness, and his expression was extremely humble...

Su Xibo was very agile. Although he had no connection with Zhang Da'an, he had previously dealt with a group of professional teams who graduated from Yuzhang University of Finance and Economics and Jiangning University of Finance and Economics and were affiliated with "Zhang An Industry".

That's really awesome.

Such a top-notch professional team... does this beastly wretch even deserve it?!

Is he worthy? !

He deserves it.

"Take care, Mr. Zhang."

Although Zhang Da'an got into an A6 with his arm around the maid's voluptuous waist, the absurd scene made him look like a nouveau riche boss with no real power, but reason told Su Xibai that this guy was definitely fucking tough enough!

Su Xibo didn't know about other things, but when he went online, he learned about an e-commerce website called 8848 that had been ruined. Yet, this ruined website was called the "leader" of domestic e-commerce by the Americans, and it even raised 60 million US dollars in funding this year.

That's awesome.

As a result, the founder stepped down.

However, that's not the main point. The main point is that this self-proclaimed "leader" in e-commerce has fewer visits to the Internet Information Center than the "Jinbang Blog" online shopping channel, which was popular some time ago.

At the time, Su Xibo also did some research and found that although Zhang Da'an, that beast, did not sell many "Little Black Dog Coffin Board Surfing" products, it was because the beast had set an upper limit on the inventory of the products and did not actually sell them.

Even so, its page views still surpassed those of 8848, the so-called e-commerce "leader".

What does this mean?
This shows that the entire 8848 platform doesn't even garner as much attention as a dog surfing on a coffin.

If 8848 can raise 60 million US dollars, how much can "Jinbang Blog" raise?

He didn't even dare to think about it.

The key point is that, normally, people who play the internet game would add a zero to the price and sell it to a new buyer, but "Jinbang Blog" is still operating normally and even issued a notice saying that it is not for sale.

Several local state-owned investment companies in Jiangkou Province have responded to this matter, and we are asking why they need to respond...

They're shareholders.

Su Xibo felt that "Jinbang Blog" was definitely going to go public, but he didn't know when.

He also heard that domestic portal websites are following suit and registering personal blogs. Some previously independent personal websites are also being acquired and their resources integrated into the new personal blog business.

This incident seems to have had an impact on "Jinbang Blog," but the founders and development team acted as if nothing had happened, still surfing the internet and saying they were developing a game that would keep them entertained all day.

A company that's insane, a boss that's insane, a team that's insane...

but!

Su Xibo firmly believes that if he, a novice who ruined his company, thinks that there is a problem with someone else's successful team, the first thing to consider is not where the other person has a problem, but where there is a problem with his own brain.

The real fools and idiots are those who can't see their own stupidity; they just blindly follow a dead end and remain naive until they die.

Intelligent people will realize their own foolishness.

Now Susie feels like a smart idiot.

There was one problem that was troubling him...

"Mr. Zhang! Mr. Zhang! How can I contact you?! Could you give me your business card? Do you have any business cards?! A phone number will do too—"

The three A6s disappeared from sight. Su Xibo was quite puzzled. "I got a BMW, and this is your level?"
Could it be a bulletproof A6?

No way, it looks like a domestic product from this year.

"What the hell is this?! I'm so pissed off..."

With his hands on his hips, Su Xibo spun around in circles, then pulled out his phone and made a call. "Brother, keep an eye on the company for the next couple of days. I'm going to Jiangning. Yes, Jiangning. No, it's not about borrowing money or running away from debts. It's nothing. The company's debts are nothing. Why would I run away? We're brothers, we started this company together. Songbai is our creation, our life's work. How could I abandon it? Do you believe me? Would I joke about my own brother? Okay, I'll definitely be back before the end of the month. If something really happens, that's fine..." After hanging up, Su Xibo grumbled and scratched his head in frustration.

Just as they were about to go back, they suddenly saw a group of people coming out of the venue. They were all from Jinan City who had just arrived at the venue. The withdrawal of "Zhang'an Industry" from the bid had undoubtedly alarmed a group of people.

One of the deputy directors in charge of the project was slapped across the face by one of the visitors. He then launched into a furious tirade, completely disregarding any sense of camaraderie. The sheer arrogance he displayed made the group of businessmen realize what true arrogance was.

Zhang Da'an is just young and impetuous.

It can only be due to youthful impetuosity.

Arrogant?

What a bullshit!

"Where is General Manager Zhang?!"

They didn't give Su Xibo any face at all; they practically dragged him over to ask him questions.

"Just left, just left, headed east, headed east."

"We should go to Dongcangmen, make a phone call there, and calm things down first. Also, prepare a bottle of wine, two bottles, two bottles..."

Before Su Xibai could react, he was pulled aside to make it easier for others to get into their cars and leave.

The whole time it was like a rattle drum, you could turn it however you wanted.

"Damn, they can really be this arrogant."

Previously, Su Xibo thought Zhang Da'an was just young and impetuous, but now he wonders if someone who isn't young and impetuous is still a young man.
Mr. Zhang is still young, and his arrogance is understandable.

It makes sense!

"Old Su! What's going on?!"

"This isn't right. So, those twenty acres of land today were actually intended to be given directly to these outsiders?"

"If he weren't so arrogant and domineering, wouldn't we have treated him well?"

"Hey, Lao Su, come out here first. Any good news?"

"Hey Lao Su, is there anything I need to tell you?"

Su Xibo shrugged. "I just wanted to try my luck and ask this General Manager Zhang if I could get some soup. But as soon as I came out, Secretary Cao from the city government dragged me around like a dog on a leash, and I couldn't get a word in edgewise. I was just about to go back to the company and had just called my brother when you guys came out."

"There really is no benefit to it?"

"What benefits? Don't believe me? Ask the waiter at the door. I didn't even get a business card. He just put his arm around his secretary, got into his car, and drove off. Go ask him, go ask him, and see if what I'm saying is true!"

"We believe you, we really are asking, we definitely believe you."

That's what they said. When Su Xibai left in his BMW, several bosses pulled aside the doorman and asked what had just happened.

I heard that after Su Xibo handed over his business card, they all smiled at the same time.

That's it?

Even eating shit can't keep up with the heat.

I didn't even get a business card; it's like I'm trying to curry favor with someone who doesn't reciprocate.

However, this little incident today has shown us the true extent of the problem.

Even the two large companies that thought they could make a gamble never expected that they would one day be left out.

If we had known the city was going to go through the proper procedures and just give it to us directly, why bother?

However, the city is also to blame for not letting anyone know beforehand.

However, they were unaware that even Zhang'an Industry believed that they should compete on financial strength and ability to win the bid.

They had no idea that they themselves were the designated "crown prince," and Zhang Da'an was unaware of this either. Of course, the reason he didn't know was that he simply didn't want to know.

The city wanted to make it look nice so as not to owe the companies that were competing for the same prize a tiny favor. Now that problems have arisen, they're laying their cards on the table and getting rid of the pretense.

The auction was changed to "attracting investment".

The value and sale price of those twenty acres of land will be announced in an announcement, and it will be reported in the news and newspapers. The propaganda department's stance has shifted from auction to investment promotion. In any case, this matter has not been discussed through public media channels.

In the past, the discussions mainly focused on how to develop the tourism and cultural resources of Jinan City. Daming Lake, a well-known and important IP in China, was definitely discussed.

Now, we've turned the ideas we discussed into reality.

The process was a bit complicated, but the result was still very good.

As for Zhang Da'an, the local officials were also very disciplined. They opened a bottle in front of him, filled three glasses, and without saying much, they chugged it down.

"One glass of wine adds one million, three glasses of wine equals three million! Sixteen million is void, now it's nineteen million!"

Zhang Da'an has a tougher work style than the local officials...

Upon hearing this, the official who had come to show his stance immediately loosened his tie, waved his hand to signal his secretary to fill the glass, and then picked up his glass, saying, "President Zhang, our city of Jinan will always welcome outstanding entrepreneurs like you! On behalf of Jinan City, I toast you!"

Zzz~ Ha.

Dry in one gulp.

Zhang Da'an's eyes lit up, and he immediately said to the speechless "professional team," "Add another million!"

"No, boss, we're here..."

"Screw you! Someone gave me face, how could I not give them face in return? Add more!"

"..."

You're the boss, you're in charge, we'll listen to you.

Forget about project plans and budgets, just tear them up!

The local hunk, who had already downed a pound of liquor, loosened a button on a bottle and asked his secretary to open another one, then filled it to three full.

It's already 20 million, let's add another 3 million!

At this moment, Zhang Da'an suddenly understood why people watched the live stream and sent rockets before his rebirth. To be honest, being the "top fan" felt really good!

So this is what a strange, pleasurable sensation feels like?!

"Mr. Zhang, your decision to come to Jinan City to recruit talent shows that you value the talent pool of Jinan City. On behalf of the outstanding talents of Jinan City, I salute you!"

Slurp! Ha!
Another bite.

Zhang Da'an perked up even more. "Go get some food, quick! And another hundred! No, one million!"
