Chapter 607: It's done
readx; Shi Lei left Scotland only after receiving a call from Wu Dong, and the contact between Zifeng Building and BTG and Intercontinental has already yielded preliminary results. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As expected by Shi Lei, BTG seemed careless in this regard, and was quite resistant to Shi Lei's business model of managing first and then buying out. However, Intercontinental seems to be quite fond of Shi Lei's proposal, and even shows that this is exactly the way they need to cooperate.
Regarding this, Shi Lei was also a little strange, but Su Doudou's words reminded him.
Su Doudou said: "After all, Intercontinental is a foreign-funded company, and in terms of dealing with the political axe department, there are preferential policies and taxes, and the cost is lower than that of BTG. However, they are not comfortable with the complicated stamping process in China, and it is indeed in their interest if you are willing to help them complete the process of dealing with the political axe department in the early stage. It is true that the price of real estate is increasing, but this is not real estate speculation, but a long-term project. In a relatively long-term process, the value of real estate has always been on an upward curve, and companies that only consider the appreciation of real estate in two or three years lack the necessary long-term vision. ”
Shi Lei thought deeply about this, this was a relatively unexpected gain, and Shi Lei did not take this into account when thinking about this matter. But this result is very much in line with Shi Lei's wishes, and now the Quartet representatives of Zifeng Building Management Company, after the accounting department carefully calculates the income ratio, are obviously more inclined to cooperate with Intercontinental Group.
Su Doudou sent Shi Lei to the airport, and on the way, Su Doudou mentioned something to Shi Lei.
"Shishi, I may need some money." In this regard, Su Doudou is obviously different from other girls, no matter what, other girls at least will not ask their men for money so calmly, and Su Doudou can speak, the amount of money may not be small.
"How much? I'll call you when I go back, what's the point? Want to change cars? ”
Su Doudou shook his head: "Changing cars is one of them, but I want to sell the car, and ride a bicycle or simply take the subway to get in and out in the future, energy saving and environmental protection." ”
"Huh? Energy saving and environmental protection? How did you suddenly have such an idea? Shi Lei was a little curious.
"Our profession, modern garden architecture design has not only covered architecture and aesthetics, but also includes environmental protection topics that are more and more important nowadays. No matter how good the design scheme is, if you don't consider environmental protection, you won't get a passing score. ”
"Then what do you want money for? How much? Shi Lei didn't plan to go into this topic, so he returned to the original topic.
"The amount is indefinite, and I don't spend it for myself, but it can be very large, at least ten million pounds in the first place."
Shi Lei was stunned at this moment, tens of millions of pounds is equal to hundreds of millions of yuan, why did Su Doudou suddenly want so much money?
"Well, my mentor was a bit of an idealist, and he was an environmental maniac in his own right. In fact, our tutor is very powerful, he has become a billionaire in his twenties, just like you, self-made, worth more than 30 million pounds in college. He has a good reputation in Europe, and has a high reputation in the garden design industry and in the field of environmental protection electronic applications in gardens. He has designed several modern gardens that have won high awards, mainly in the field of environmental design. ”
Shi Lei nodded: "Well, what are you going to say?" Or rather, what exactly are you going to do with this money? ”
"Listen to me!" Su Doudou was rarely coquettish, "But in the past few years, our mentor has invested almost all the money in the overall environmental protection design of the garden...... I can't tell you for a while, anyway, the previous award-winning designs are basically local environmental protection, or some of them are environmentally friendly. Now what he wants to do is to design a large garden, or simply the whole city, use renewable resources to recycle, and then make most of the city's energy supply self-sufficient. Do you understand that? ”
Shi Lei pondered for a moment, as a person who returned to the current era from 2018, he was able to roughly understand what Su Doudou said. In fact, the topic of environmental protection and low carbon has received great attention from the world since 2010, and the redevelopment of resources and the research of alternative resources have become important topics for scientists all over the world. For example, the new resource city mentioned by Su Doudou, or low-carbon buildings, etc., the recycling of resources and sunlight as much as possible, are also emerging.
However, for the current level of science and technology, this aspect seems to be slightly lacking in technology, how can a master supervisor who is engaged in architectural design complete the design of a large-scale ecological garden or simply an ecological city by himself?
But Su Doudou can have such an ideal, Shi Lei is still very happy for it, after all, Su Doudou finally found a career that can replace her to become a nun, even if it costs a huge amount of money, Shi Lei feels that it is worth it.
In this era, what Su Doudou said is probably a very advanced idea, her mentor is also a pioneer, I just hope not to go crazy.
"I probably see what you mean, but that's within the scope of investment, and you need to do a valuation. I guess your mentor has already spent his money, and then he should have found a lot of investment, but this is a bottomless pit at all, I'm afraid he won't be able to get any investment now, right? ”
Su Doudou pouted a little impatiently: "What is the bottomless pit, do you understand that this is a great cause of mankind?" But the mentor really can't get the investment......"
Shi Lei smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not saying that I won't invest in you, but since the amount of investment will definitely be very large, then it must go through the formal procedure, you can't say that I will give you a sum of money privately, you go to sponsor your mentor to do research and development, and you can ignore anything for the sake of your ideals." I don't expect to make a profit or anything about this kind of investment in environmental issues, but there is always a need for a standard. Doudou, you see if this will work, after you go back, discuss it with your mentor, and say that I am interested in the topic he is developing, and ask him to make a summary of the research over the years, and you can give me a copy of the entire information. Personally, I will take a look at it first, and if I think there is a prospect for R&D, then I will take it to the company to discuss and see if I can use the company's framework to make a semi-public investment. If I personally don't think so, then I'll give a sum of money and be entitled to sponsor the ideals of your guru. What do you think? ”
Su Doudou immediately smiled when he heard this, and even ignored that he was driving a car, his hands left the steering wheel, and he hugged Shi Lei's head and kissed him fiercely.
"I knew you would say yes......"
Shi Lei touched his cheeks: "Don't be too happy too early, the amount of investment depends entirely on his R&D capabilities." Moreover, once this matter goes through the company procedure, it is impossible for his surname to do it as before, I will definitely send someone to set up a company in Scotland, and then let him be the chief designer of the company, but the financial and R&D progress and so on, need to be controlled by the whole company. Although I don't know your mentor yet, I can already feel that a lot of his previous money and investment may have been wasted, and this kind of research and development requires the cooperation of a complete team, and investment should not become a blind investment. ”
Su Doudou scratched his head: "I don't understand these very well, and the mentor definitely doesn't understand either, but I think he can definitely understand." In short, the old lady is very happy today, and I will reward you with a good back! ”
Shi Lei's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "Come on, don't reward me, I'm still weak at this moment!" ”
When he was sitting on the plane, Shi Lei didn't even think about the matter of Zifeng Building, but put all his thoughts on the topic that Su Doudou said.
In that life, although Shi Lei was not an environmentalist, he was also a relative advocate of low-carbon life. As a wealthy man – at least Mr. Zhang's fortune is almost shared with him – Shi Lei's life is modest in some respects. The car is a battery-powered car, and his usual activities are mainly related to nature, and he also has his own yacht at sea, but his yacht is mainly powered by wind to drive the sails. Of course, a diesel engine is still installed, but usually when there is no wind at all as a last resort, Shi Lei rarely uses that engine.
The topic mentioned by Su Doudou is very shallow, and it is just a beginning. However, Shi Lei doesn't need her to explain too much, ecological cities and ecological gardens, after 2010, most of the developed countries in the world, there are some rich people trying, and Shi Lei has also come into contact with some. Of course, it is impossible to be completely self-sufficient, and the criteria for an eco-city are not defined, and it is generally considered that more than 60% of the energy can be relied on for self-sufficiency, and the city can be considered an eco-city.
It's just that until Shi Lei's rebirth, this kind of project is still in its infancy, after all, there are very few rich people who are really enthusiastic about environmental protection and charity, don't look at the rich people abroad are very keen on charity, but that's because doing charity can give them a lot of tax exemption, as well as in exchange for the advantage of reputation. In the final analysis, it is still for profit, in order to obtain more benefits in the company's operation.
Like Bill? When Gates decided to retire, he used most of his wealth to set up a charitable foundation, which seemed like a feat and a beautiful talk, but in fact it was quite nonsense. If he hadn't, the onerous taxes on the wealthy in the United States alone would have allowed him to tax more than half of the money he cashed out of Microsoft. And if he wants to leave the money to his children, the inheritance tax and gift tax are also quite high, and the overall may be as high as seven or eighty percent.
And the establishment of a charitable foundation, Bill? Gates, on the other hand, can still control all the assets in his name without handing them over to the U.S. tax authorities. It would certainly be unfair to say that he had no charitable heart, but it would be absolute nonsense to say that he was purely charitable. Otherwise, you make Bill? Gates took the property to Su Doudou, a mentor, to try the design and development of an eco-city? He probably wouldn't say yes.
In that life, the biggest dilemma for the design and development of eco-cities was obviously money, and as Shi Lei said, this was a bottomless pit at all, even if it succeeded, it was difficult to bring enough profits to the enterprise, and it really only could benefit the people, or benefit future generations. For a profit-driven society, this kind of thing is absolutely thankless, and the mentor like Su Doudou is really an idealist. Moreover, he is the ultimate idealist, scattering all his wealth for an environmentally friendly ideal.
Shi Lei is not that great, but if he makes a series of support for these in a limited situation, he is also willing. His current personal property, if it is put on Forbes, I dare not say that it is the first in China, at least it is also the top three. If you add Shen Yi's part, it will be the first in the country, and even on this earth, it can be ranked first. The money is no longer used up, and it can't be used up to squander it for Shi Lei's ten lifetimes, so if there are some really meaningful things to do, Shi Lei is still willing to try it.
Of course, it all depends on the fact that the mentor's design and development is not a castle in the air, but really has the value of implementation.
For the entire eleven hours on the plane, Shi Lei thought about this problem, integrating many of the R&D achievements that had appeared in that life with what Su Doudou told him, and he also began to have a certain degree of expectation for the mentor's design.
When he returned to Wudong, the time was nine o'clock in the morning, Shi Lei did not make any adjustments and stays, but went directly to the Zifeng Building Management Company from the airport.
Because Shi Lei had already notified Sang Rong when he got off the plane, Sang Rong also summoned all the senior executives of the company and waited for Shi Lei to arrive in the conference room. As soon as Shi Lei entered the conference room, someone gave him a copy of the information on the negotiations and contacts that had come down these days, and after Shi Lei read it for a while, the meeting officially began.
The atmosphere of this meeting was very harmonious, basically there were no differences, and the whole company was more inclined to Intercontinental from the initial preference for BTG to the current preference for Intercontinental. This meeting is nothing more than to determine the tone, and then according to the bid, determine the last two companies. It's just that, because of the design and price of the bid, they also had to use BTG's bid as the winning bid, and then use the Intercontinental Group's bid as a backup.
Next, in fact, it depends on whether BTG is willing to agree to the plan proposed by Shi Lei, once they still refuse, Zifeng Building Management Company can justifiably call the standby winning bidder.
Before the end of the meeting, the topic was about the press release, Shi Lei put forward his own opinion, suggesting that the press release can emphasize the topic of environmental protection and energy saving, because in the bid of the Intercontinental Group, the planning and design of the hotel is obviously more environmentally friendly and energy-saving than BTG's. This may not be taken much seriously in China, but the media will certainly be more willing to promote it. Truth, goodness and beauty may not be something that people really like to do, but shouting slogans is something that most people will be keen on. In this way, at least in terms of media publicity, it can help the Intercontinental Group to build momentum. It also made a small step for the management company of Purple Peak Building to eventually adopt their bid.
When leaving the conference room, Sang Rong and Shi Lei walked out side by side, and asked with a smile: "When Shi Shao proposed that plan, he had already expected such a result, right?" I know that the whole company will definitely lean towards the Intercontinental Group. ”
Shi Lei didn't hide it, and replied with a smile: "Otherwise, I wouldn't say that I have reservations but don't publish them." It's obviously a happy outcome, isn't it? ”
"Except for BTG!"
Shi Lei laughed: "Actually, seriously, excluding commercial interests, in terms of hotel brand influence and service impact in the future, which company are you more inclined to?" ”
Sang Rong didn't answer, he had an answer in his heart, and this answer was the same as Shi Lei's.
The press release was quickly sorted out, and after all the four partners had seen it, it was handed over to the media, and then two local media outlets were arranged for exclusive interviews.
Of course, before the Zifeng Building Management Company issued a press release, it also communicated with Intercontinental, telling them that according to the bid, they could only rank BTG in the first place, but it was also vaguely revealed to them that in the subsequent detailed negotiations, BTG would definitely back down on its own, and Intercontinental would almost certainly become the final winner.
Soon, the facts proved this, and the negotiations between BTG and Zifeng Building Management Company quickly reached an impasse, and under the strong attitude of Zifeng Building Management Company, the negotiations were on the verge of breaking down in just three days. At this moment, even the interviews of the two local media in Wudong have not yet been released.
Five days later, the negotiations were completely announced, and the BTG negotiation team fully withdrew to Pingjing, they originally wanted to use such a gesture to force the Zifeng Building Management Company to make concessions, but they did not expect the Zifeng Building Management Company to immediately announce the results of the negotiations, and publicly announced in the media that the hotel bidding project had entered the negotiation process with the standby winning bidder.
Until this time, BTG did not think that Intercontinental Group would agree to this model of cooperation, but they soon regretted it, because only a week later, Zifeng Building Management Company signed a cooperation draft with Intercontinental Group, and jointly held a press conference, saying that the bidding project for the hotel operation of Zifeng Building was completely won by Intercontinental Group!
In this regard, the BTG only felt miserable, but it was obvious that they could not find fault, and although they also tried to interfere from the authorities, the opinion of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee was obvious, and the basic interests of the Wudong state-owned assets group should be protected. From the point of view of the details of cooperation, it is obvious that the cooperation method of Intercontinental Group is more in line with the interests of Wudong State-owned Assets Group.
And just when the overall internal project of the hotel was about to end, Bian Weiwei also received an order issued by the Central Organization Department, he will temporarily serve as the head of the Central Organization Department, and Yang Ming will no longer concurrently serve as the head of the Central Organization Department
