Reinventing the Millennium

From the beginning to the end of April, the media attention on Shanghai's famous rich people has declined, and everyone has been attracted by the personnel appointments in the capital.

Under this circumstance, Shencheng City held a low-key project seminar that was not exposed to the outside world.

This seminar included leaders from the city, leaders from Jing'an District, and people from the current project Nongkai Group, but Nongkai had no right to speak and could only passively accept the city's disposal.

In addition, several real estate companies participated in the study.

The meeting is scheduled for 2 p.m.

Li Jiacheng arrived in Shanghai on the evening of the 24th. After listening to Hutchison Whampoa's report the next day, he rushed to the meeting with Zhao She, deputy general manager of China Real Estate Shanghai, accompanied by Zhou Kaixuan.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, Hutchison Whampoa and Zhongfang were sitting in the conference room, but the leaders had not arrived yet.

Li Jiacheng, who was born in 1928, is 75 years old, but he is in good spirits. Kuok's Sun Hung Kai and Hans Real Estate, which arrived one after another, greeted the richest Chinese man and expressed their respect.

"Vicky, are there only Hongji and Hans today?" Li Jiacheng asked Zhou Kaixuan.

"That should be the case, Li Sheng." Zhou Kaixuan thought for a while, "The city didn't say what companies were there today, and the entire meeting was unusually low-key. There probably won't be any more bidding meetings or anything like that."

Li Jiacheng nodded.

Zhou Kaixuan continued: "The entry of American Hans was a bit unexpected. We and Sun Hung Kai were both interested in this land before Xu Mingchang. Now that Xu Mingchang is in trouble, Shencheng locals should be wary of taking action until the situation is unclear. I I know from Yi Ke Fangzhuo that someone will protect Xu Mingchang this time, and it’s hard for local real estate developers to do such a thing."

Li Jiacheng had no feelings for "Bao". He had seen too many things. Instead, after hearing "Yike Fangzhuo", he asked: "How is Fang Zhuo like this person?"

Zhou Kaixuan commented calmly: "He is somewhat capable, but also somewhat petty."

Li Jiacheng's interest ended here.

He closed his eyes slightly and waited for the seminar to begin.

Zhou Kaixuan had some cooperation communication with Zhao Ming, the deputy general manager of China Real Estate Shencheng. This time he came to apply in a hurry and the preparation time was indeed insufficient.

However, as long as the land is obtained, there is still a lot of time ahead.

At 1:50 p.m., the leaders walked into the conference room.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, the leaders also greeted the richest Chinese man who came to visit, and chatted amiably with the other two companies about the real estate market in Shanghai.

The conference room has been decorated. The leaders are on the stage and the companies are seated across the space to facilitate the presentation of their ideas for the East Eight Block project.

There are four people in each of the three companies in the conference room.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the leaders stopped talking.

Just when Zhou Kaixuan thought the seminar was about to begin, she suddenly discovered the small details of the leaders on the stage, which seemed to be conveying inquiries with eyes.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a gentle knock on the open conference room door.

A group of people filed in.

"Our richest man in Shanghai is here."

The big boss sitting in the middle of the stage laughed and said kindly.

With this sound, as the group of people all entered the conference room, Zhou Kaixuan's mood changed in a strange and complicated way.

Who is the richest man in Shanghai?

Is that the richest man in Shanghai who avoids sight and keeps saying he has no interest in real estate?

Zhou Kaixuan saw a young man in a suit politely greeting the leader on the stage, his face turned dark, it was him, it was him, that Fang Zhuo!

It turns out that everything he did before was just his fault!

It turns out that he had already been plotting something about Dongba Kuai following Xu Mingchang’s accident!

The thoughts in Zhou Kaixuan's heart were stringed together, including shock, anger, doubt, and some frustration.

"Vicky, don't panic." Not only had Li Jiacheng seen him before, he himself had performed a surprise attack before, so he was not surprised to see Fang Zhuo now.

"Li Sheng, he lied to me." Zhou Kaixuan had many thoughts, but finally said softly.

"There are intrigues in the shopping mall. After all, strength will speak for itself. We have a chance." After Li Jiacheng finished speaking, the young man he met for the first time smiled at him before he sat down. He nodded lightly and responded.

Businesses are here.

Two giants from Hong Kong, one from the United States, and one from Shanghai.

Among them, the two companies of the United States and Shanghai surprised several leaders. Almost no foreign investment was used in the development of the old city of Shanghai, and the company headed by Fang Zhuo...

I’ve heard of Fang Zhuo, but isn’t he from the Internet?

Why did you get involved in real estate?

Or do this kind of project as soon as you get involved in real estate!

"Let me give a brief introduction about the East Eight Block project." First, the mayor of Jing'an District will introduce the situation. After all, this land is under the jurisdiction of Jing'an.

What the district mayor said is well-known to many, including the land area, business plans, the demolition households involved, and the unstable current situation of Nongkai Group...

After the district mayor finished speaking, the city's big boss spoke, and his words expressed the significance of today's seminar.

The current situation is this. How do the four companies consider the future of the current situation? The city will consider various factors to decide on the disposal of the land.

The content of the speech was very straightforward and did not beat around the bush.

There were no media reporters in the conference room, so it looked like a very straightforward face-to-face meeting.

"We are guests from afar. Let Hans from America come first." The big boss personally called the guests.

Hans Real Estate USA has a total of four people, two foreigners and two Chinese. They were not frightened when their names were called. The foreign vice president with the highest position talked about project preparations.

Hansi Real Estate wants to build a world-leading digital commercial building in the East 8th Block of Jing'an District and give Jing'an District a new landmark design.

While listening to the speeches of his foreign colleagues, Zhou Kaixuan used his peripheral vision to look at the young richest man in Shanghai.

It's been a while since I saw him.

Zhou Kaixuan has tried to calm down and consider the situation of his new competitors.

She had previously told Li Sheng about her analysis of the Shencheng local real estate company, and it was true. Shencheng local real estate had to consider the relationship between Xu Mingchang and him, and would definitely be concerned about the situation.

But... Fang Zhuo was originally at odds with Xu Mingchang, and he also had an unexplained relationship behind his back. Although he took advantage of the opportunity to attack, although he had a dark heart, he did have a heroic demeanor.

Zhou Kaixuan never thought that Fang Zhuo would stand up and become a competitor.

As this man himself said, he has absolutely no experience in real estate. How could he stand up and compete for projects like this?

A leader and a co-participant are two concepts.

Zhou Kaixuan thought about the possible points and decided to raise this question on this occasion.

After the introduction of Hans Real Estate in the United States, the leaders declined to comment. Next was Kuok's Sun Hung Kai in Hong Kong.

This is also a giant consortium. However, compared to Hutchison Whampoa, which is also a Hong Kong giant, even the richest Chinese man was present, but the head of the Kuok family did not show up, which was a lot less impressive.

We are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but we are afraid of comparing goods.

The third company to speak was Hutchison Whampoa. Li Jiacheng and Zhou Kaixuan did not speak. The project plan was introduced by a professional vice president, which was clear and well-paced.

American Hines aims to build landmark digital commercial properties, Sun Hung Kai Properties aims to develop both commercial and residential properties, and Hutchison Whampoa focuses on residential properties and public greening, aiming to create regional land parcels that are in line with the aesthetics of Jing'an District.

"Mr. Fang, tell me what you think about the project."

The leader on the stage naturally named the last one.

Fang Zhuo closed the manuscript and prepared to speak.

However, Zhou Kaixuan suddenly spoke up and said slowly: "Dear leaders, I am a little confused. At the beginning of the month, I was discussing the Internet industry with Mr. Fang. I never expected that Mr. Fang, who had never had any experience in the real estate industry, would appear on this occasion. ."

Zhou Kaixuan is confident in her words. She has managed real estate projects single-handedly, unlike Fang Zhuo who has no experience at all.

The leaders on the stage had a strangely consistent demeanor, that is, they remained calm, neither criticizing Zhou Kaixuan for disrupting order nor defending Fang Zhuo.

The space today is reserved for enterprises.

"Mr. Zhou's doubts may also be the leaders' doubts." Fang Zhuo said calmly, "In fact, I myself and my company do not have real estate experience, and I am not too prepared for the East Eighth Block project."

The young CEO came up and exposed his shortcomings.

"My original intention of appearing here today is because this project is not somewhere else, it is in Shanghai, in Jing'an District."

"The headquarters of Yike Group is Plaza 66 in Jing'an District. The situation encountered by the East Eight Block project is right on my doorstep. No matter what the final result is, I always want to do my part."

Zhou Kaixuan sneered slightly, "No matter what the result is"? If you can't get the land, how can you do your part?

Fang Zhuo continued: "However, although I have no experience, for this project, my partners are all experienced Shencheng real estate companies. They have rich experience in real estate development and urban renovation."

"This is Mr. Liu Suyi from Yonghe Real Estate."

"This is Mr. Huang Jinhuang from Hengfeng Real Estate."

"They are practitioners with absolutely sufficient experience, and I can provide ample funds." Fang Zhuo smiled, "The recent rise in my company's stock price is really good."

Many leaders nodded secretly. Fang Zhuo's response to Zhou Kaixuan was a plus. He was not caught off guard at all and was very calm and composed.

Fang Zhuo turned his head to look at Zhou Kaixuan, only to see an expressionless aunt.

He deliberately waited for five seconds and saw that the aunt no longer had any objections and began to talk about her considerations for the Dongba Block project.

Just the first sentence made several competitors, including Zhou Kaixuan, change their expressions.

"Time is tight and the task is heavy. We investigated the status of the demolished households in the East Eight Block. There are 1.2 million households in total. 3,680 households have signed demolition contracts with Nongkai Group, and there are about 8,300 households left."

"These people are the key considerations for our newly established Yongke Real Estate Company."

"Can Nongkai Group implement the demolition compensation for these 3,680 households in accordance with the signed contract? How will the remaining 8,300 households be resettled?"

"Next, I will talk about Yongke Real Estate's ideas."

Fang Zhuo took a thick document and seriously talked about the company's strategy that was different from the previous three.

The first three companies are talking about real estate development, but what he wants to talk about is people. This is also a legacy issue of Nongkai Group, and it is something that needs to be solved and stabilized urgently.

If the old city is renovated, households will have to be demolished.

If you don't face this issue squarely, how much sincerity behind the flowers is open to question.

We are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but we are afraid of comparing goods.

When compared with this product, the previous three products were a little faded.

Some leaders on the stage also had a question in their minds, why didn't Hans, Sun Hung Kai, and Hutchison Whampoa hear such a proportion of the demolition issue?

If we really want to develop things properly and do things in earnest, why don't we make the demolition issues clear to the people?

This is simply a heart-wrenching ratio!

Zhou Kaixuan pursed his lips uneasily, suddenly losing a lot of confidence.

She felt bad when she heard the first sentence. Fang Zhuo made a fuss about the demolition of people. This unexpected angle should have been discussed and studied after the intention was confirmed.

But I couldn't stop it on the spot, and it was difficult to tell the exact response to this problem because I didn't have the detailed data of the other party.

"Li Sheng." The only comeback point Zhou Kaixuan could think of was the influence of the richest Chinese man around him.

Li Jiacheng patted Vicky's hand gently and nodded tacitly.

Fang Zhuo's speech took a long time. After he finished talking about the demolition issue, he didn't spend much time on real estate. He only said that the construction project would be in line with the requirements of Nongkai Group and Jing'an District Government.

All four companies have finished speaking.

The mayor of Jing'an District exchanged a few pleasantries, indicating the end of a session.

At this time, Li Jiacheng, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly coughed and cleared his throat.

The richest man in China.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

It can be said that in the era when Lijiacheng was the dominant force in Xiangjiang, many people in this conference room were not born yet or were still wearing crotchless pants.

The big boss on the stage also set his sights on the rich man from Hong Kong.

At this moment, Zhao Ming, deputy general manager of Zhongfang Shencheng, who was sitting next to Zhou Kaixuan, spoke first.

The deputy general manager sighed: "Yongke Real Estate has considered the demolition issue of East Eighth Block very well. This is something we never thought of before. I am really ashamed of myself."

Li Jiacheng was stunned.

Zhou Kaixuan's face also darkened.

The leaders looked surprised.

Deputy General Manager Zhao Yan shook his head, stood up and said: "Regarding this project, on behalf of China Real Estate Shencheng Real Estate, I announced my withdrawal. The project planning is not in place, and the demolition and demolition are not considered in place. I am really embarrassed to compete."

"Mr. Li, Mr. Zhou, China Real Estate has withdrawn from the joint venture cooperation with Hutchison Whampoa. Leaders, I will withdraw first."

Zhao She saw a leader on the stage nodding, and left the conference room gracefully without looking at the three people with Huang.

There was silence in the conference room.

Many people looked strange, were they fighting among themselves? That's it?

Li Jiacheng's throat became clear. Such a change in cooperation in front of the leaders really made him, the richest man in China, lose the face to say anything.

Zhou Kaixuan suddenly turned his head to look at Fang Zhuo, receiving an innocent expression from him.

She gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and made her final struggle: "We and Huang also attach great importance to the demolition plan of the East 8th Block. We will not be worse than Yongke Real Estate."

Fang Zhuo smiled directly and said: "Mr. Zhou is not confident, isn't he? If I were you, I would say that Hutchison Whampoa can do better than Yongke Real Estate."

He paused and said calmly: "Of course, Hutchison Whampoa can definitely do better. It is a Fortune 500 company in the world. With this strength, we all believe it can do well."

The young president finally raised a question: "But whether Hutchison is willing to do it or not, that's a question."

Kill your heart, kill your heart, kill your heart!

Li Jiacheng shook his head slightly.

Zhou Kaixuan used his hands to make fists and lightly hit the table.

She understood that she was completely defeated.

Several top leaders on the stage exchanged glances with each other and saw a common meaning.

The four companies have stopped speaking out.

The leaders spoke in a neutral tone, accepted the company's project documents, and did not announce the decision on the spot, but expressed their welcome to the company's investment in the application.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, a seminar on the East Eighth Block Project came to an end after only three hours.

Leaders communicate face-to-face with the company, but they also need to review the paper project document and consider the disposal of the project based on a variety of factors.

After some pleasantries, the leaders left, and so did American Hans.

Zhou Kaixuan walked quickly to Fang Zhuo and said coldly: "Is Mr. Fang's intention to withdraw from the middle room? Mr. Fang is really a good trick!"

Fang Zhuo shrugged and told the truth: "I don't know the people in the middle room."

However, Zhou Kaixuan didn't believe it at all: "Mr. Fang opened my eyes!"

Fang Zhuo smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou has not met me a long time ago. If he did, his horizons would be opened a long time ago."

Zhou Kaixuan glared.

Li Jiacheng walked over slowly and smiled gently: "Mr. Fang, it's our first time meeting you. You are very rude."

"When I first started my business, there was a teacher who went into entrepreneurship from college. He used my model to create a similar company to compete. He taught me a truth." Fang Zhuo shrugged, "Business competition is like this. ruthless."

The young CEO grinned: "I hope Mr. Li will forgive me for my business impoliteness."

Li Jiacheng's smile faded by two points: "Young people are very courageous, but this time they are a little less particular."

"I accept Mr. Li's criticism of me." Fang Zhuo smiled brightly and said, "Well, I'll dare you next time."

Zhou Kaixuan said angrily: "You..."

Li Jiacheng nodded towards Fang Zhuo, patted Vicky's shoulder gently, and finally said: "See you next time, young man."

Fang Zhuo smiled: "See you next time, Mr. Li."

The richest man in China and the richest man in Shanghai left at the same time.

However, no matter what happens next time, both of them know that this time Hutchison Whampoa's East 8th Block project in Jing'an District was a complete failure!

The Dragon Crossing the River was once again defeated by a local snake in a disgraceful way after a year.

One of the richest men in Shanghai fell, and another richest man in Shanghai stood up.

Today, Fang Zhuo is from Shanghai!

With great ability comes great responsibility.

Shou hu jing an, shou fu you ze.
