Chapter 54: Follow-up
"An hour ago, the first state-owned land auction in China was held in Jiangzhou, and the final price of 32,000 square meters of land was 408 million. Let's take a look at the live report of our reporter. ”
At 12 o'clock at noon, the CCTV ace news program broadcast this hot financial news.
At the beginning of the picture, it is the auctioneer who finally knocked down the hammer and announced that the 6th had won the bid for 408 million.
"For the sky-high price, our reporter randomly interviewed the audience."
As soon as the picture turned, I saw the reporter pulling the two bidders who had just come out of the auction hall at the door.
"What do you think of the results of this auction?"
"It's crazy, I can't read it."
One of the young men in a suit said.
"I think land auctions have been a game changer and the real estate market will be even more exciting in the future. Good luck to company No. 6! ”
The older man is calmer than the young man next to him, and he has a longer perspective. But in tone, it seems that Jiangnan Real Estate, which is taking land at a sky-high price, is not optimistic.
Then the picture appeared in the live shooting of the A1 plot, and it can be seen that the land has been leveled, and the government has done a good job of seven links and one leveling. The news background continues to introduce the details of the plot, and then the screen switches to Zhou Zhidong's interview.
"We have a lot of confidence in the A1 plot, and we have always looked at the problem from the perspective of development. Prices may look a bit high this year, but next year they may be cheap. 408 million is just the initial reserve price of our company's reservation, and we think it is very cost-effective to be able to auction it at this price. Because we Jiangnan Real Estate is optimistic about the development prospects of Jiangzhou and full of confidence in China's economic rise. ”
In the face of the media pouring in, Zhou Zhidong talked eloquently, these are the main points that Qin Ran explained. Because Qin Ran knows what reporters want to hear the most, and what leaders like to hear the most. Saying this, it will definitely be broadcast word for word. Jiangnan Real Estate, the name was presented to the national audience for the first time through the authoritative media.
"The successful bidders have a background in Hong Kong businessmen, and they have great confidence in the development of Jiangzhou and the mainland. As the designer of the auction, Huang Weiguo, secretary of the Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee, believes that the unified auction of state-owned land can effectively prevent corruption and better manage the city. ”
The screen switches to the scene of taking turns to bid on the spot, and the finale is an interview with Huang Weiguo.
"Auctions, the highest price wins, can put an end to black box operations, prohibit internal and external collusion, and cut off the black hands of corruption of public officials. In addition, the city will operate in a unified manner, and the proceeds from the auction will be reinvested in the city's infrastructure, such as road reconstruction, urban greening, and old city construction. Establishing an effective cycle will certainly greatly promote urban development and prosperity. For us in Jiangzhou, this means finding a highway that can develop sustainably and rapidly. ”
Being able to show his face in front of the national media, Huang Weiguo will certainly not miss the opportunity. Originally, it was arranged for Mayor Du Changqing to be interviewed, after all, the municipal government is in charge of the economy. At the end of the report, Secretary-General Luo waved his pen and replaced the mayor with a secretary. Secretary-General Luo was also promoted after the year, from the secretary-general of the municipal government to the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, continued to serve Huang Weiguo, and was also promoted to the standing committee of the municipal party committee. Secretary Huang's thoughts, he couldn't be clearer.
After Mayor Du Changqing found out, he had no choice but to smile helplessly, after all, Huang Weiguo had the title of a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee on his head, and he invisibly suppressed half of his head. Although he also has nobles, when he first arrived in Jiangzhou, he was still low-key. What's more, Huang Weiguo was the first to come up with this model.
Qin Ran has returned to the company, and Zhou Zhidong is still on the scene to deal with the media's interrogation. Since A6 was driven back, he arranged for Li Desheng to pick up Zhou Zhidong on the spot.
"Yes, Mr. Zhou is quite handsome on camera!"
Qin Ran smiled and said to the middle level of the company sitting in the conference room.
"The company is famous in China this time! The first one in the country to eat crabs, it is estimated that there will be a lot of media coverage in the evening and tomorrow. ”
Gong Huiyun also smiled, and the company was brilliant as an employee, and her face was bright.
"Mr. Qin, the company's phone is about to be blown up by the media, and they ask if they can send someone to come for an interview?"
A female employee in the company's administration department ran to the conference room to report.
I thought it would be enough for Zhou Zhidong to be interviewed over there, but I didn't expect that there were so many tails to collect.
Qin Ran thought for a while, and decisively ordered: "You first register the contact information of the caller, and then tell them that the company will hold a press conference tomorrow to invite them to be there." They will be notified when the time and place are confirmed. ”
Then he asked people to go to a five-star hotel in Jiangzhou and book a conference hall to be the venue for the reception.
"Oh, wait, let's rent two more buses and take them around the Xiziwan construction site and the A1 plot tomorrow."
Since it is necessary to build momentum, the role of journalist friends is indispensable.
"Hmph, it's not expensive, I'll see how they lost their pants when they saw it."
After Tang Hu followed his father and eldest brother back to the company, he saw the news on live TV and was indignant.
"Okay, you can play by yourself, I have something to discuss with your eldest brother."
Tang Hu knew that when it came to business, his father always talked secretly with his eldest brother. Because I know that my big mouth loves to brag and is unreliable.
There were only two people left in the house, Tang Zhongtian looked at his eldest son and asked, "Ah Long, what do you think of this auction?" ”
"Although Jiangnan Real Estate is a newcomer, the momentum is very strong, and it doesn't look like an impulse to see their actions. To be honest, what Zhou Zhidong just said that today's expensive things will be very cheap tomorrow, which is quite reasonable. Secondly, this battle of their Jiangnan Real Estate can be regarded as a signboard in the country. ”
Compared with his younger brother Tang Hu, Tang Long has been training by his father's side, obviously mature and steady, and his words are also much more reliable.
"Yes, the mall is changing rapidly, and this kind of character with a sense of smell beyond the times is often the most terrifying. If next year is really as they say, the land is more valuable, then we will not lose this time. Although Mr. Qin is very young, my intuition tells me that I must not underestimate him, his eyes are as treacherous as an old fox. ”
In front of his son, Tang Zhongtian did not hide his opinion, after all, Tang Long was his carefully cultivated successor. Since the eldest son became an adult, the conversation between father and son has been frank and unreserved.
"I agree with you, it's better to be friends with him than enemies. Although peers are enemies, the market is so big, everyone has money to make together. ”
Tang Long is not an emotional person, he has always been a pragmatist.
"I was worried that you would have a pimple in your heart like my brother, but now it seems that you have not let me down."
At the same moment, at Zhou Zhidong's house, his wife was holding her son and pointing to the man who was in the limelight on TV.
"Look, the baby's dad is on TV, isn't it handsome? You have to learn from your dad in the future. ”
I don't know if I understood my mother's words, or saw a familiar face on TV, the baby patted the picture with his hand, and giggled with the jingling of the longevity lock on his neck.
"Congratulations, Mr. Qin, I just saw on the news that your company is on the top."
Lu Youcai called to congratulate him, Qin Ran's company is now his big customer, and he pays attention to every move.
"Haha, I'll take your advice. Your account is due in a month, and I have the money ready for you. Then you come, and we will sum it up. You also know that we have just acquired another piece of land and may need to do some financing, I think you should be interested! ”
Qin Ran replied with a smile, he originally had the intention of looking for Lu Youcai.
"Haha, of course we won't miss the opportunity to cooperate. Okay, let's go to Jiangzhou after a while, let's have a good chat. ”
After hanging up the phone, Qin Ran fell into deep thought.
He won the plot for 408 million, and he must pay in full within two months according to the contract. According to the relationship between his company and the Jiangzhou municipal government, it should be able to be delayed. However, half of the money has to be paid as much as possible, which is about 200 million. Now the company still has about 350 million funds in its account, in order to maintain the normal operation of the company until the opening of Xiziwan on the National Day, at least 30 million funds must be maintained in the account, plus the 33.6 million that will be paid to Lu Youcai in a month, and the funding gap is very large.
When he decided to auction the A1 plot, Qin Ran promised his subordinates that there was no need to worry about the financial problem, and he persuaded everyone with the reason that the overseas parent company's capital guarantee was the backing.
The parent company is nothing, Qin Ran knows it. Therefore, the gap in funds will either be delayed, or it will be borrowed from banks or underground shadow banks. As long as you stay up until the eleventh opening, the problem will be solved.
The funding gap is about 100 million, and Qin Ran regrets that he didn't borrow more at the beginning of the year. At the beginning, I really didn't expect the Jiangzhou Municipal Government to take out the A1 prime land, because in Qin Ran's impression, the first auction in Jiangzhou was just a very ordinary remote land, and the effect caused was only one-tenth of the sensation brought by the A1 plot now.
It seems that because of Qin Ran's accession, the details of history began to be fine-tuned around him. However, he is not worried, because no matter how hard he flaps his wings, no matter how hard he flies his butterfly, he cannot change the general direction of history. For example, real estate is regarded as a pillar industry by the government, or China has joined the WTO and become the world's factory. He can only take advantage of the situation, take advantage of the east wind of the times, and realize the entrepreneurial dream in his heart.
The next day, in the conference hall of a five-star hotel in Jiangzhou, Jiangnan Real Estate held a press conference. Of course, it was Zhou Zhidong who appeared to answer the questions, he briefly introduced the situation of Jiangnan Real Estate to the reporters and answered the reporters' questions. The content is nothing new, and the back and forth are the main points that Qin Ran has explained, because things related to the company's secrets must not be said.
After receiving the satisfactory fare, the reporters boarded the two buses that had been waiting for a long time and came to the Xiziwan construction site and the A1 plot for a brief visit. In the end, the army returned to the five-star hotel, and after a buffet lunch, the day's interview ended the day.
However, Zhou Zhidong couldn't be idle, because the local media in Jiangzhou pampered him, either explicitly or covertly asking about advertising in the future.
"We will definitely put in the advertisement then, but the company has no plan to come out now. When we have a clue, we will definitely notify you to help. Thank you very much! ”
He is telling the truth, Qin Ran's focus has been on the infrastructure side now, and he never seems to have paid attention to marketing and promotion, and he doesn't seem to be worried about the sales of real estate at all.
In the evening, CCTV's 7 o'clock "News-Network" also broadcast the news of the Jiangzhou auction, but it was compressed for only 30 seconds, but Huang Weiguo appeared for a full 5 seconds. Appearing in 5 seconds, for a leader, "News-Simulcast" is broadcast once, which is more valuable than broadcasting on local stations for 5 years.
After the news was broadcast, Huang Weiguo asked his secretary to dial Qin Ran's phone.
"Hello, Secretary Huang, do you have any instructions?"
For the number one in Jiangzhou, he holds the power of life and death under his rule like the emperor of the soil, and Qin Ran does not dare to face his edge now, and takes the initiative to bow his head.
"Can't I look for you if it's okay?"
Huang Weiguo was in a good mood and took the initiative to joke.
"Leaders are all in a hurry, I'm afraid of delaying your time."
Qin Ran replied without a trace.
"Okay, you don't have to be too polite between you and me, it seems to be raw. You said that today is not counted as our cooperation with each other, and we sang a good show for the people of the whole country in Jiangzhou!
In the interview, Mr. Zhou did not forget to promote the investment environment of our Jiangzhou and have confidence in the future of Jiangzhou, which I am very satisfied with. ”
Huang Weiguo spoke, of course Qin Ran was inconvenient to interject, so he had to prick up his ears and listen.
"By the way, I haven't heard from Chairman Jia Fuhao for a long time, how is he doing now?"
The secretary is the secretary, and the questions asked are all heavyweights, what are you afraid of! Qin Ran was taken aback, and carefully looked for a countermeasure in his heart.
