Remember [Martial Arts ♂ ÷ in a second? Text☆网.], update fast, no pop-ups, free to read!

The much-hyped World Financial Center incident finally came to an end in the last month of the year with the victory of Chinese companies. Unable to bear the internal and external troubles, the Sen Building chose to cut the meat and leave, and finally transferred the 35-acre Lujiazui prime location at a low price of 50 million yuan.

The unit that won the target is a newly registered global real estate company, which is jointly established by Fuxing Group, Vantone Group, Oceanwide Group, Giant Group and Suning Group. Subsequently, the American B&P private equity fund quickly announced that it would take a stake in Global Real Estate, and the original intention of the construction of the skyscraper remained unchanged, and the total project investment was still not less than 1 billion US dollars.

Of course, when it develops to this point, it has nothing to do with the people who eat melons, and all the inside stories are not known to them.

The final winner, Chen Bo, did not appear in the public's sight from beginning to end, but only played a fuse. The role of the rope has pried a skyscraper known as the world's tallest.

“Cheers! Cheers!! ”

In the box on the top floor of the Jin Mao Hotel, a group of well-dressed social elites celebrated their victory with champagne and laughter. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can look down on the ruins that they have just grabbed at your feet, and it may not be long before you need to look up at the ruins from the same position. things.

Now it's not just about celebratory dinners, it's about how to divide the cake.

"Now that we're in the same boat, we have to come up with a formal charter. The total investment of 1 billion US dollars has already boasted to the city government about Haikou, and how much exactly it will be apportioned is just discussed today. Lu Zhiqiang straightened the sparse hair on the top of his head, looked around for a week, and said, "Then I'll throw bricks and lead the jade first, and Oceanwide will invest 100 million US dollars." ”

"Our B&P fund requires at least 70% of the shares, and $700 million can be injected into the company's account at any time." Depp, as an agent supported by Chen Bo, is very direct in his wealth.

"Thank you Mr. Depp for his generosity, and I hope we will have a happy cooperation in the future." Lu Zhiqiang smiled and raised the champagne in his hand and touched the glass lightly, as if he was the master here. 30% to these companies is enough. Most of the risks are borne by the Americans.

"Vantone can inject $50 million." Feng Lun continued.

"The revival can be pumped out of $60 million." Guo Guangchang is not to be outdone, after all, this is the territory where he made his fortune, and it is impossible to invest too little.

"I started late, you all know my situation, and $40 million is my best ability." Shi Yuzhu, who is thin and weak, set sail again with the help of elderly health care products, and has earned no less than all the people here in the past two years, especially after selling the "brain platinum" with annual sales of more than 1 billion, although he did not disclose what the price was, he would definitely not make a loss-making transaction.

"In that case, the remaining $50 million will be invested by our Suning Group." Zhang Jindong is not ambiguous, Suning's business is good, but the profit margin is far from so high. Chen Bo tried his best to pull him into the game to achieve his meaning, just relying on a few chain electrical appliance stores, he is not qualified to sit with these people for the time being. The $50 million, which is easy to say, is still financed by bank loans.

Everyone is quite satisfied with this distribution, and the contribution of hundreds of millions is not a small amount, and of course it will not be all the money taken out at once. It is a phased injection of capital into the company, which is equivalent to installment payment. Everyone has their own main business, and with inflation, RMB appreciation and other factors, this money will not have the value it has today.

As a middleman, Chen Bo ostensibly did not hold a dime of shares, but realized his own interests through two investors. But it is also an existence that they can't ignore, none of you here are stupid people, who is idle and has nothing to do to run errands for you? The second largest shareholder behind Suning is Chen Bo, and the income from this indirect holding is minimal, and it is not worth the risk at all.

The American B&P fund is also a partner he pulled, and no one else knows whether he has secretly given him some dividend rights, which is the benefit hidden behind it, so that people can't pick your thorns or find your weakness.

Then the company's management mechanism was passed, with the second largest shareholder, Lu Zhiqiang, as the general manager of Global Real Estate, the B&P fund mainly holding the financial power, and the other management from the shareholders responsible for the recommendation, jointly forming the entire management structure.

After the cake is distributed, it is necessary to discuss how to develop the skyscraper and how to plan.

"My opinion is to build the world's tallest building, and the design plan definitely needs to be revised again, and this much-criticized plan can no longer be used." Lu Zhiqiang took the lead.

"Well, that's what needs to be done. We can't be nameless if we take this land so hard, and we have to listen to the sound when the money is spent. Feng Lun echoed, and the others didn't seem to have any objections.

"I don't quite agree, how high is the highest is the highest? It's been almost 10 years since the Giant Tower, but I still remember it vividly. Both RTHK are currently building buildings over 480 meters and are under construction. By the time this side is capped, everyone else has already completed the construction, and this so-called first height will be taken away before it is completed. So there is no need to pursue the first height. As long as we have our characteristics, Taiwan Island is not a 101 building, then we will build 108 floors. Thirty-six days and seventy-two earthly evils are also in line with our traditional culture. ”

At this time, Shi Yuzhu took out something that he would regret for the rest of his life as a negative teaching material, but Chen Bo still agreed with this point.

"Well, I have a message here, just a little bit. The Emirate of Dubai in the Middle East is designing a super tall building of more than 800 meters, called the Burj Khalifa, which is expected to officially start construction in 04, designed by SOM Architects in the United States, and Samsung C&T is bidding. Taidao 101 Building, with a total height of 508 meters, is expected to be completed next year. The design height of the Hong Kong Island International Commerce Centre is 484 meters and is expected to be completed in 05. ”

Chen Bo's data can be easily found on Ant Search, and one of the interesting phenomena is that the first two buildings were built by Samsung Properties. The Burj Khalifa and the International Commerce Centre were designed by SOM, as were the Jin Mao Tower, where they now sit.

In this way, the circle of architectural design is not very large.

There is no doubt that Chen Bo chose to be consistent with Shi Yuzhu, so Depp and Zhang Jindong naturally will not choose to stand on the opposite side. This became a 4-3 situation, and the proposal to build the tallest building was naturally rejected. After all, if you want to go beyond 800 meters, such a crazy thing is unimaginable, the three of them are engaged in real estate, and they also know that the cost of each meter is geometric, and the texture of the Shanghai market itself is relatively soft, which invisibly increases part of the cost.

Under the condition that the original height is basically maintained, the re-bidding and revision of the design plan has been decided as the main work plan for the new year.

After the celebration banquet ended, Chen Bo, Zhang Jindong and Depp sat in the same car.

"In the future, Lao Zhang, you will deal with it more, which will be beneficial to Suning's future development."

Although Chen Bo has never asked about Suning's operation, and even the shareholders' meeting did not show up, and directly gave Zhang Jindong the right to vote unconditionally, but he has never forgotten the good things. For example, the 3C digital experience image store in Superbrandmall has opened a breakthrough for entering the Shanghai market, and it is not so easy to tear a hole in the market controlled by Yongle Electric. Another example is to open up the South China market through Pengcheng, which has helped a lot every time. Now he is pulling him and several other real estate tycoons to sit together, and he understands the intention very well, if you want to open a chain electrical appliance supermarket, you must first have a façade. Aren't all the resources of this façade in the hands of these real estate developers?

"I understand that the real estate company has developed a resort hotel project in Yazhou, Qiongnan Province, as well as single-family villas. When the market opens next year, I'll have someone bring you the keys. Zhang Jindong is not the one who picks the door, and immediately said.

"Isn't that right?" Chen Bo deliberately hesitated.

"The company's welfare for all shareholders is no exception."

"Then I'll be disrespectful."

Suning is not a state-owned enterprise, so it will not be suspected of embezzling state-owned assets, nor is it a joint-stock company, and it is not responsible to ordinary shareholders. If there is such a good thing, a fool should not want it.

Chen Bo also instructed Depp to take care of his finances. Those are all ground snakes, and they are old fritters. With such a big project, it would be a big loss if you did something out of it. It's not that it's distrust, but it's about preventing it from happening, everyone is good if nothing happens, and once something happens, no one can tell. Only by preparing in advance can you avoid troubles in the future.

Now at the beginning, he can participate in it and say something, and that's when they are acknowledging his affection. But it will be inconvenient for him to come forward in the future, and if he wants to control the entire company, he needs to go through Suning or B&P, which will definitely be much weaker, so Chen Bo also takes precautions in advance, so as not to lose the right to speak in the future and let others pick peaches.

After sending Zhang Jindong and Depp away, Chen Bo couldn't relax when he sat in the car.

What I used to hate the most was rumor-mongers, but now for my own vested interests, I have become the kind of person I hate the most. This situation is similar to those who clamored for fairness and freedom every day, and when they encounter problems, they are often the first to think of trusting relationships, finding a way, and being the destroyer of fairness.

Am I now a complete businessman? Chen Bo asked himself, it has only been two years, and almost all of the things he has done exist to make money, but he is gradually moving away from his original intention.

"Mr. Chen, where are you going next?" Wu Changqing, who was in the driver's seat, interrupted Chen Bo's thoughts and pulled him back to the real world.

Chen Bo sighed slightly and said, "Hmm, let's go to the airport, let's go to Yanjing." ”
