Chapter 443: To Change the Person in Charge (Three Changes)
"Our plan, I believe the two of you have also seen it, and we are a win-win result when cooperating with our company, and you can directly save a lot of unnecessary trouble when coordinating the middle of the land. ”
After a simple business meal, Richard took a few bites of his blackberry caviar salad with a fork and swore that it was authentic.
In fact, Richard is right, and the Harrison Group's proposal is also the most beneficial for the several major real estate development companies currently bidding.
The only downside was that Richard, out of selfishness, had put more effort into the design of the use of the land in the middle of him.
In their bid, the three plots of land, totaling 13 acres, were designed to be a very modern cultural community, except for the largest plot of land at the back, which has natural features such as parks and streams.
Richard also designed an oval fountain where the first and second plots are connected, so that the second phase of the building complex has an additional artificial landscape, and the surrounding houses naturally have an opportunity to appreciate in value.
The overall cost of the project is about $1.5 billion, and the master plan designed by Harrison Group is a residential complex with office space, a general hospital, and a public elementary school.
and seven towers containing 2,100 luxury apartments, of which one-third of about 600 units will be geared towards low- and middle-income tenants.
There are also 2 condominiums and 10 two-family villas along the lake, making it a thriving community of residential, retail, dining, waterfront, parks, public schools and playgrounds, ranging from transportation, recreation to housing.
"To tell you the truth, as the most experienced property developer, Daniel and I have a lot of confidence in your group's professionalism and capabilities.
It's just that there are some things that we can't just say, and we have to give the approval of the Planning Bureau, the Construction Bureau, the Minister of Justice and other departments before we can know if it will work.
You also know that for a development project of this scale, we don't know how many times we have to change the proposal to get approval, and if there are any problems in the middle, it will damage the interests of both of us, so we still have to make a careful decision. ”
Add put down the fork in his hand and said sincerely.
"I naturally know this, which is why I am very interested in working with you, according to the most reliable information, isn't your big brother Johnson preparing to run for the next mayor of New York City?
Richard finished speaking softly, and winked at Eddie, as if everyone knew it.
"You are wrong about this, whether he is running for mayor or not, it has nothing to do with my investment and Daniel's investment, and I don't even want him to be elected, lest there be some incidents like Mr. Richard, where his ability to govern is directly criticized. ”
After listening to Richard's words, Eddie was not annoyed, but there was some mockery in the tone of the other party's return.
-----------------
This meal was not as pleasant as expected, probably starting from Richard mentioning Johnson, Lin Zitan didn't like this person too much.
From the moment he used Eric as an excuse, Lin Zitan had a little clear idea of his purpose for inviting them today, nothing more than wanting to get this target and help himself fight for more benefits.
Just as they had eaten almost and were about to say goodbye a little, they suddenly heard someone call Richard's name.
The three of them looked up and saw Harrison walking out of a small reception room with a middle-aged brown-haired man in his 40s, and it was the middle-aged man who greeted Richard.
"Hi Daddy, Hi ~ James." When Richard saw the two of them, he immediately got up from his seat and looked respectful and obedient.
"These two are ......"
"It turned out to be Mr. Lin, fortunately~"
Before James could finish asking, Harrison walked towards the three men with a gentlemanly attitude, and stretched out his hand to Lin Zitan, who was sitting on the very edge.
"Hello Mr. Harrison, it's an honor to see you again~"
Lin Zitan watched the man walk towards him, and hurriedly got up and said respectfully.
"Aren't you a good friend of Eric, why are you with Richard today?"
Harrison shook hands with Lin Zitan gently, unable to hide his doubts.
"Oh, Daddy, I was recently talking to Mr. Lin and Eddie Johnson about a recent project we were working on together. Richard hurriedly spoke.
"Co-development? you mean the Bronx land?" James began.
"Uh, yes~" Richard heard James's voice and immediately looked a little unhappy.
"Is Bronx's land the 3.72 acre? Didn't I ask you to take over the commercial building on West 51st Street?
James still understands the case of land development, you can hand over this small case to James's development team, and quickly get the commercial building matter done for me!"
Harrison obviously didn't care about such a small case as they thought, and it turned out that this old man, who had withdrawn from the core of the group's power, still knew everything about the company's movements, even if it was a piece of land worth only 21 million.
"Yes, Father!"
After Richard was reprimanded by the old man, his face was full of unwillingness, but he still lowered his head and said respectfully.
"I'm sorry two, I'm James, I'm the current CEO of Harrison Group of Companies, this is my business card, if you two have any questions, you can contact me directly.
Regarding the case in Richard's hands, I will set up a special team to connect with the two of you as soon as possible. ”
James is a gentleman.
"It's a great honor~"
Lin Zitan took James's business card and found that this person was the same as Eric said, although he was the head of the entire group, he was simply a leaky person, and like Harrison, he would not give people any sense of oppression at all.
"We still have important business, so let's go first, and let Eric take you to the house another day. By the way, Eddie, greetings to your grandfather, he's a respectable gentleman. ”
Before leaving, Harrison spoke to Lin Zitan and Eddie very gently.
"Thank you, we will definitely pass it on to Grandpa~" Eddie bowed and replied with a smile.
"Waiter, please put the bill for this table in my name, thank you~"
While Harrison was talking to Lin Zi and them, James intimately beckoned the waiter to his side and said softly.
"Then let's go first~There will be a period later~"
James nodded gentlemanly to the three of them after Harrison turned, then glanced at Richard again, then turned and walked away.
"Then I'll go first, you use it slowly~"
Richard watched his father and eldest brother walk away, and his originally easy-going attitude immediately became a little arrogant, as if he didn't need to disguise himself in front of the two of them anymore after not cooperating.
Lin Zitan waited for Richard to also walk away with solid steps, then turned his head to Eddie and said:
"They just made a temporary substitution?"
A faint snicker rose at the corner of his mouth as he spoke.
"How do I feel like you're happy with the results? Did you tell Eric in private?"
Eddie said in hindsight.
"No, we talked for a while last night, but we didn't talk about real estate development specifically, and even if we did, I don't think Eric had the ability to influence his father and his eldest brother's decision. ”
Lin Zitan wondered.
"That's weird, I'm not familiar with this James, Harrison...... It was a little strange to guess who I was at once. ”
Eddie, like Lin Zitan, was surprised that Harrison suddenly gave them a change in charge.
