Chapter 23: It's Fate
The time is getting closer and closer to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Lu Chengyu's work in Huading is becoming more and more convenient.
Because Yan Mu is a good boss, he also works very hard, and even gives Yan Mu some investment advice based on his own vision and some things he knew in his previous life.
Knowing that Huading was preparing to participate in the land bidding meeting in M City, he suddenly remembered that there were several ghost towns in M City that were famous all over the country later.
Because after the development of this place was proposed, many businessmen came to invest in the construction, but many houses were not sold later. However, due to cost reasons, investors were unable to reduce prices, and in the end, many newly developed communities in M City became ghost towns where no one lived, and many investors fell into it.
"The land of M City?" Lu Chengyu was in the president's room, and after listening to the conversation between Yan Mu and Cao Jingshen, he hesitated and asked, "Is it the one near the North District?" โ
Cao Jingshen nodded suspiciously, he didn't understand why Lu Chengyu asked so strangely, he looked at Yan Mu, and found that the other party looked like he was ready to listen carefully, so he said, "What's wrong with the North District?" โ
"I heard that the population of M City is not large, and there are other companies investing in real estate in this place, will it affect the housing market?" Lu Chengyu walked to Yan Mu's desk, leaned in front of the computer, and called up some information and news about M City, "The people in this place do not have a strong desire to buy a house, and the economic strength of some people is not enough to buy this kind of community. โ
"But in the past two years, we will vigorously develop this place, and now the land price in M City is low, if we can win the land in this place, it will be a rare opportunity," Cao Jingshen said with a frown, "Our market should not only consider the people in M City, but also foreign investment or migrant workers." โ
"However, the development project may not be successful, and if it fails, the money invested in it will not be recovered in a short period of time." Lu Chengyu remembered that M City had indeed been developed back then, but because the actual operation was too difficult, the development project was shelved a year later. At that time, I don't know how many developers were trapped, and some developers even jumped off the building because of this, which caused a lot of sensation and triggered a lot of social thinking about the housing market.
After โกโก, housing prices have tended to be stable, and there are even price reductions in some places, so even if the real estate in M City can recover after his death in his previous life, it will not make much profit. On the contrary, if these trapped funds are used to invest in other industries, I don't know how much they can earn back in โกโก years.
He didn't know if Huading had invested in this place in his previous life, but he still said it responsibly where Yan Mu should be advised.
After Cao Jingshen heard this, he fell into deep thought, he only thought of the cheap price of land just now, and really didn't think of developing this piece. Lu Chengyu's words are equivalent to a wake-up call for him.
"You're not optimistic about the market in M City?" Yan Mu looked at Lu Chengyu, as if he wanted to see something from his expression.
"I'm just a suggestion," Lu Chengyu shook his head, "However, personally, I'm really not optimistic about this place." โ
Yan Mu nodded, closed the tender in his hand, and handed it to Lu Chengyu: "I understand." He thought for a moment, "Tomorrow I'm going to go to the bidding in M City, and you will go with me." โ
Lu Chengyu looked at the tender in his hand and nodded.
"We don't want to win the bid, but we still have to go through the motions," Yan Mu agreed, "M City is indeed not an easy place to develop, you are right." โ
Cao Jingshen sighed beside him, when he talked about this matter before, the boss doubted the success of the M City development case, but he didn't expect Lu Chengyu to also suspect this.
After these days, he felt that Lu Chengyu was really a rare assistant, no wonder the boss valued it more and more.
"I'm going to book a plane ticket to M City tonight," Cao Jingshen left the office and called to book a plane ticket and a hotel.
Lu Chengyu returned to the office, changed the bidding document again, and checked the recent temperature in M City, and found that the weather was a little hotter, the sun was a little hotter, and there was nothing special to pay attention to, so he rushed home in advance in the afternoon, collected a change of clothes, and rushed directly to the airport to meet Cao Jingshen and Yan Mu.
After boarding the plane, Lu Chengyu found that Cao Jingshen bought a business class ticket, which is much more comfortable and spacious than economy class, and just after lying down comfortably, he heard Cao Jingshen explaining the ticket to Yan Mu: "There are only two cabin options for this flight, although it is not as good as an international flight, but it is not bad." โ
This is a lifetime when he has to go out and even can't afford to buy an economy class ticket, so how can he be embarrassed when he runs to squeeze the train?
"Well," Yan Mu nodded, glanced at Lu Chengyu, who was sitting beside him without saying a word, and said, "Wait, if you feel bored, just sleep for a while." โ
Lu Chengyu smiled at Yan Mu: "Okay." "A man like Yan Mu, who is rich, good-looking, and can cook, has not found a wife after nine years, which is really a heinous waste of resources for female compatriots.
"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Lu here, it's really fateful." A somewhat familiar and annoying voice sounded behind him, and when he looked up, it was indeed the person he didn't want to see, Liang Deyou, the crown prince of the Liang family.
Liang Deyou was followed by Chen Jin, who was dressed as an elite, and two bodyguards, Chen Jin obviously saw him too, but lowered his head and pretended not to see it.
"The so-called fate of meeting thousands of miles away, Mr. Liang can be on the same plane with me at a height of thousands of miles, and it has indeed been a hundred years of fate," Lu Chengyu smiled at Liang Deyou, "It's really overjoying." โ
Liang Deyou was disgusted by Lu Chengyu's smile of a thousand miles of joy, turned around and sat down with Chen Jin on the other side of the aisle, and said to Lu Chengyu across the aisle, "I heard that Mr. Lu is from this city, so he shouldn't go out often, I don't know if I'm used to flying planes?" โ
"It's good," Lu Chengyu heard that the other party wanted to ridicule that he hadn't even taken a plane, so he didn't laugh angrily, "I just can't open the window, it's a little boring." โ
Sneered, Liang Deyou felt that the person in front of him was vulgar, how could Chen Jin fall in love with this kind of person before. However, who is the man sitting with Lu Chengyu, his eyes don't seem to be friendly.
Liang Deyou didn't remember Yan Mu, but Chen Jin still had the impression that he recognized this as the man who walked with Lu Chengyu on the day of the graduation ceremony. I don't know why, he subconsciously doesn't like this person who seems to be a little difficult to get along with, maybe it's the momentum of the other party?
Glancing at Yan Mu, he pursed his lips, remembering what Liang Deyou said to laugh at Lu Chengyu just now, he felt embarrassed on his face, because he was really taking a plane for the first time, and Liang Deyou's words just now were in his ears, as if he was laughing at him.
"Why don't you say, when the plane enters the clouds, open the window and touch the white clouds."
He found that it was a man with glasses in the front seat of Lu Chengyu who was speaking in this joking tone, and it seemed that this person seemed to be very familiar with Lu Chengyu.
"I'm a recent college graduate with little social experience, don't lie to me, I can see the clouds at night?" Lu Chengyu pulled up the sleeves of his white shirt, looked at Cao Jingshen who turned back with an innocent expression, and deliberately said funny, "And when the plane is windy, can you still open the window?" โ
Cao Jingshen pushed his glasses and said with a serious face: "You fall asleep quickly, you can do it after you fall asleep." โ
Lu Chengyu raised the corners of his mouth and showed eight neat white teeth to Cao Jingshen: "Hehe." โ
Looking at the scene in front of him silently, Chen Jin's mood was a little complicated, Lu Chengyu seemed to be able to mingle with people so easily anywhere, and even attract people, no wonder he couldn't look down on people like himself.
Liang Deyou turned his head and saw the expression on Chen Jin's face, and his face sank.
Yan Mu turned his head and glanced at Liang Deyou, and then silently withdrew his gaze. The prince of the Liang family is still too far behind his father.
The old man of the Liang family wants to abdicate and hand over the company to the prince of the Liang family now, and this decision will probably become the biggest proof that he will not be able to protect his old age.
After the plane lifted off smoothly, it was dinner time, the flight attendant began to distribute drinks and fruits and dinner to passengers, Lu Chengyu didn't like Western flavors, so he chose traditional Chinese food, just halfway through eating, the plane encountered air currents, shook violently, he hurriedly reached out to grasp the drink cup steadily, saw that the drink did not leak, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Mu noticed his action, so after he finished drinking, he rang the bell and called the flight attendant to add a drink to Lu Chengyu.
Lu Chengyu looked at the full glass of orange juice in front of him: "......" He just didn't want to waste it.
After getting off the plane, the city of M was in charge of receiving them and sent them to the hotel that had been booked before. Then when he got the room card at the service desk, Lu Chengyu saw Liang Deyou and Chen Jin also walking in. At the moment when he and Liang Deyou looked at each other, Liang Deyou's face sank, he blinked, and showed a bright smile to the other party.
Liang Deyou twisted his head away and said to Chen Jin beside him: "Chen Jin, is there something wrong with your annoying college classmate?" โ
Chen Jin glanced at him lightly: "You are the first person to say that there is something wrong with him, so ...... What do you think? Although he complained that Lu Chengyu didn't like him, but aside from these, Lu Chengyu was a very good person, and he didn't want to mess around like a child like Liang Deyou.
"I knew you couldn't bear him," Liang Deyou said with an ugly face, "But he doesn't like you at all, do you know?" โ
Chen Jin glared at him and walked forward silently, as if he didn't even bother to speak.
So when Lu Chengyu was about to go upstairs, he found that Liang Deyou glared at him inexplicably, as if he wanted to pounce on him and fight.
He touched his chin and whispered to Cao Jingshen, "There's nothing wrong with this Liang prince, right?" โ
Cao Jingshen pushed his glasses: "Probably he is a second-stage severe patient." โ
This is the best hotel in M city, but there is still a gap between the hardware facilities and service quality compared with the first-class hotels in Beijing. Lu Chengyu looked at the time, it was more than nine o'clock in the evening, but there were not many pedestrians on the street outside the hotel.
Yan Mu, like him, noticed this, and he reached out and patted Lu Chengyu on the shoulder: "Let's go." "Fortunately, I decided to give up the bid this time, otherwise I would have lost a lot of money.
The rooms of the three of them were next to each other, and Lu Chengyu chose the middle one, if there was any noise in the rooms on both sides, he could also find it in time.
After putting away his change of clothes, he carried his notebook out of the door, and when he heard that someone was also coming out of the door, he looked up and saw Chen Jin walking out of it, followed by Liang Deyou.
Chen Jin didn't expect things to be so coincidental, he remembered that he lived in the same room with Liang Deyou, and was seen by Lu Chengyu, and suddenly became uncomfortable.
Lu Chengyu just nodded to Chen Jin in the end, not knowing what else to say to this person.
"Oh, it's really a coincidence," Liang Deyou walked in front of Chen Jin without smiling, separating Chen Jin's gaze from Lu Chengyu, "Mr. Lu is also here to bid this time?" "There are several real estate companies in the capital that are ready to go down to M City, I don't know where this Lu Chengyu has the ability, he will be able to represent the company soon after he works.
"There is an old saying in the mall that knows oneself and knows that the other side will win all battles, if Mr. Liang is not clear, go back and ask your father, presumably he will be able to teach you well," Yan Mu suddenly walked out of the room, glanced at Liang Deyou expressionlessly, turned his head to Lu Chengyu and said, "Go in, Jingshen has already arrived first." Then he didn't look at Liang Deyou, and took Lu Chengyu into his room.
Liang Deyou looked at Yan Mu's back, and it took a long time to spit out two words: "!" "Where did this person come from, and he dragged twenty-five or eighty thousand yuan when he spoke," his family didn't teach him what politeness was?! โ
Chen Jin looked at the closed door, and suddenly remembered that the company where Lu Chengyu worked was called Huading International, could it be that the person who came out just now was the senior or president of Huading?
The current Lu Chengyu ...... What kind of height are you already standing at?
