Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Zhou Qi shook his head slightly and said, "No, for Hualong, the store in Xilin is more like a burden."

When Pang Yulin heard this, his face suddenly became serious. He thought, the conditions he proposed were obviously very attractive, could it be that Zhou Qi wanted cash compensation?

In fact, his request was very simple. He just wanted to keep the Xilin brand.

"Mr. Zhou, I hope you can see my sincerity." Pang Yulin said, "Xilin has already made it this far, what else do you want us to do?"

"You were the one who started this business war, weren't you?" Zhou Qi asked, staring into Pang Yulin's eyes.

Pang Yulin gritted his teeth and admitted, "Yes, Xilin did overestimate his own abilities. Since we lost, we will not hide anything and will apologize publicly."

"Very good, since you are so sincere." Zhou Qi said slowly: "Tell me, what is your bottom line?"

Pang Yulin was shocked. He didn't expect that Zhou Qi could see through his thoughts. He took a deep breath and confessed:

"Mr. Zhou, I have deep feelings for Xilin. I built it myself. I only have one request, which is to preserve several of the original stores in Kyoto."

Zhou Qi was silent for a while, and Pang Yulin continued, "I know you might be worried that I will make a comeback.

In order to dispel your concerns, I can sign an agreement to ensure that Xilin will not enter other cities except Kyoto and will only exist as a small local brand. "

At this moment, Pang Yulin's attitude was extremely sincere. He was waiting for Zhou Qi's final reply, and Xilin's fate was hanging by a thread.

Zhou Qi waved his hand gently and said calmly: "Hualong never regards anyone as a real opponent. Whether it is Huaning or Xilin, they do not pose a threat in our eyes."

"I understand." Pang Yulin responded, "So what do you mean?"

"Given your sincerity, I am willing to accept your proposal." Zhou Qi replied: "Let's do as you say."

In fact, this was also what Zhou Xingzhong was thinking. He did not intend to completely defeat Xilin, just like he did with Huaning, leaving them a glimmer of hope.

After all, a single tree cannot make a forest, and monopolizing the market will only bring trouble. The country will not allow a company to completely monopolize the market. It is enough to stand out from many competitors and become the strongest one.

The negotiation ended quickly. Pang Yulin got the result he wanted, expressed his gratitude and left.

After Pang Yulin left, Qiao Xueying looked at Zhou Qi and said, "Isn't this too easy for Xilin? They don't seem to have suffered any losses in this meeting."

Indeed, even if no agreement was reached, Xilin would have faced the fate of large-scale store closures, but now it can still retain its market share in Kyoto, which is like picking up a big bargain. In the final analysis, it is just Xilin's public apology and admission of defeat.

"There's no need to go too far. It won't do Hualong any good," Zhou Qi explained.

Qiao Xuying nodded to show her understanding, but she still couldn't help complaining: "You are a person who won't listen to soft or hard words."

"I'm different," she continued. "I'm tough, not soft."

Hearing the teasing tone in these words, Zhou Qi responded with a smile: "You want to get beaten again, right?"

Qiao Xuying pouted and glared at Zhou Qi. Because she was always stubborn, her butt had been chastised many times.

Noticing Qiao Xueying rubbing her thigh subconsciously, Zhou Qi smiled, shook his head, and asked, "How is the auction going?"

This is the main purpose of his visit to Shanghai this time.

"The quota has been submitted and approved." Qiao Xueying reported: "The starting price of this piece of land by the Huangpu River is 80 million. There are several major competitors, especially the Tang Group, which deserves attention.

This company, which originated in Formosa and later moved to Hong Kong, has extensive experience in the real estate sector and strong financial resources.

In comparison, our newly established Hualong is at a disadvantage both in terms of strength and experience.”

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Tang Group may have official support behind it, and it will not be easy for us to take over this land."

Zhou Qi nodded, knowing that the land along the Huangpu River would most likely end up in the hands of the Tang Group.

Just as Qiao Xuying said, Hualong Real Estate has just started and cannot be compared with Tang in any aspect.

In the future, Hualong, a newly established real estate company, may not even have the opportunity to participate in the auction.

But at this moment, the real estate industry is in a state of preparation, the auction rules are still immature, and experience is relatively scarce.

Simply put, everyone is moving forward by trial and error. As long as the company has sufficient funds, it can make up for the lack of experience.

Therefore, the authorities very much welcome companies to actively participate in the auction.

As for the starting price of 80 million, Zhou Qi felt that it couldn't be any cheaper.

However, this is his perspective as a person who has experienced it. At present, the Huangpu River is still a wasteland covered with weeds, and there are even some dilapidated shanty towns.

At that time, even if the house was given away for free, I'm afraid few people would be willing to take it. At this stage, the government would not easily put the land in the city center up for auction.

This kind of auction is mainly aimed at promoting economic development, accelerating urban construction, and attracting investment. For businesses, it is actually a bet on a bright future.

"Let me introduce some friends to you." Qiao Xuying said to Zhou Qi with a smile, then stood up and left the reception room.

After a while, she came back with a group of people.

There are seven of them, both men and women, with an average age of less than 40. These are professionals who have recently joined through discovery or recruitment, specializing in the real estate field.

Qiao Xueying introduced them one by one. Among them, Zhou Qi was deeply impressed by Zhou Qinghong and Song Wei.

After a brief conversation, Zhou Qi immediately felt their talent.

In particular, Zhou Qinghong, who has extensive experience in real estate work in Hong Kong, was optimistic about the mainland market and decided to return to China for development.

Song Wei was originally engaged in earthwork engineering and was familiar with the work on the construction site. Such talents were exactly what Zhou Qi needed.

When these people saw the boss behind the scenes, Zhou Qi, they had different expressions. In fact, they were able to join this team largely because of Zhou Qi's personal charm.

In particular, Zhou Qinghong, who was very familiar with the success story of Hualong Electric, believed that Zhou Qi was not only visionary but also highly capable.

Now he is involved in the real estate business, which just fits his desire to develop in the mainland. He wants to be one of the key figures in opening up new areas.

In the following time, Zhou Qi had in-depth exchanges with each person separately. He did not paint them a rosy picture, but sincerely wanted to get to know each other better.

After this round of communication, Zhou Qi felt very satisfied.

Qiao Xuying has a unique eye for selecting people.

"How is it..." She held her chin with one hand, tilted her head and looked at Zhou Qi with a smile, "Am I both beautiful and capable?"
