Chapter 469: Mr. Fang Is Suspicious by Nature (Two in One)

For Fang Zhuo, the bidding for Shencheng Yongke has almost come to an end.

He has determined the core bid, and whether he can really win the bid will be announced on March 15, because this time it is an invitation to bid, and the official meaning is very clear. I believe in the construction and development capabilities of the seven of you. I won’t say anything else. The highest bidder wins.

Each bid is confidential. Although Fang Zhuo asked Qiu Di and Zheng Danrui, they could not figure out the real bids of each company. There is only a vague range judgment.

Therefore, even if the price quoted by Liu Suyi is slightly unexpected, Fang Zhuo can accept it quickly.

His consideration of this price is indeed not about profit, but how to draw funds more smoothly. Yike’s successful listing can serve as a financial market tool on a larger scale.

With the increase of assets, the ways and amounts of spending money have also increased rapidly.

On March 9, various things were arranged one by one, and Fang Zhuo wrote the second blog content under the urging of Sina.

The last time, "Millionaire" unexpectedly received a lot of feedback, and also led some people in the circle to open blogs on Sina with semi-support, which made him feel quite fresh, and it was also a first-line experience of "the masses becoming the main body of the network".

Sina Blog's celebrity strategy has begun to show results, and Fang Zhuo was also thinking while writing the content himself that Sina should not be limited to the celebrity effect, but should also simultaneously explore the shining points of the general public, and the latter's priority should be moved forward.

At noon, Fang Zhuo was still eating and thinking in the office. This time he did not continue to write about millionaires, but wrote about entrepreneurial consulting.

- Yesterday, a young friend came to consult me ​​with a business project and asked if it could succeed.

- I took a look at it and didn't see anything at all, so I told him that it was difficult.

- He was frustrated and asked me why.

- I said, because starting a business requires confidence, you lose confidence when you hear the word "I", and think I am right, then what business is there? Go back and buy a house quickly.

——Young friends, starting a business is not as good as buying a house. This is actually the best project that is easiest to grasp. Remember it.

Fang Zhuo put the most sincere wealth code into the second blog. This time he waited for comments for a while.

As a result, the comments that popped up almost made him angry to death.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, I can't give up starting a business and buy a house because of your words. You will say that I have no confidence."

"Mr. Fang, are you persuading people to buy a house because you are involved in real estate?"

Fang Zhuo was helpless.

He suddenly realized that no matter how sincere such words came out of his mouth, it would not be able to effectively convey information, but... maybe it could affect a few people, so let it be a few.

Fang Zhuo left the afternoon time for Sina Blog.

This time, he cooperated with the Sina business team that came from Jinmao 22 and randomly answered some questions under the first blog.

Some people's questions are very touching.

For example -

"Mr. Fang, how do you make money?"

"Mr. Fang, how do you make a lot of money?"

"Fang Zhuo, how do you make as much money as you do?"

Fang Zhuo found that it was not easy to answer such questions with "buying a house". He thought about it and remained sincere: "Internet, real estate, manufacturing, I think there are many opportunities to make money."

Some people's questions are boring and second-rate.

"Mr. Fang, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Mr. Fang, do you have any criteria for choosing a girlfriend?"

Fang Zhuo's answer to such questions is relatively simple: "No, it depends on fate."

Of course, some people's questions are very useful, which makes Fang Zhuo excited.

"Mr. Fang, I am a PIE semiconductor engineer at Huahong. I would like to ask about your company's current salary and benefits. In addition, I still have a contract with Huahong. Do you have a solution?"

When Fang Zhuo saw this kind of question, he quickly said to the people of Sina: "Hide, hide this question. How can this kind of question be sent to private messages and not be sensitive at all? And you selected it so that I can reply openly?"

Don't say it, there are really many people who want to change jobs.

Although Fang Zhuo didn't know what they were thinking and had to ask questions under a blog, he still arranged for someone to contact them. Bingxin has always been eager for engineers.

This will probably last for a long time.

Seeing that SMIC, which was sued by TSMC, is about to go public, whether subjectively or objectively, Bingxin's talent gap may improve a little. According to Qiu Ciyun, who is in Luzhou, his former colleagues at SMIC are indeed worried, and as the lawsuit between the company and TSMC spreads, they are becoming more and more pessimistic.

In addition, some industry insiders predict that SMIC may have to close some production lines due to intellectual property rights. Qiu Ciyun intends to point out a clear path for his former colleagues, that is, under the command of the newly-crowned richest man in the mainland, there is a bright future here.

Industry changes need to be observed, and Bingxin's top priority is to complete the review of some American equipment.

Fang Zhuo plans to go to Luzhou to meet with Hu Zhengming after the bidding in Shanghai, and then rush to the United States.

On March 11, with four days left before the bid deadline, Yongke's East 5 project had already contacted banks, Fang Zhuo also entrusted Washington Mutual Bank to pledge stocks, and MIGA Fund Hua Xia also made a trust product. Everything was in preparation for spending money.

The next day, Fang Zhuo attended a Shanghai key project exchange meeting for the sake of his boss's face.

I thought it was just a casual show of support, but I didn't expect to meet the biggest competitor in this bidding, Guo Binglian of Kwok Sun Hung Kai in Hong Kong.

Kwok Bing-lian is the third son of Sun Hung Kai founder Kwok Desheng. Since Kwok Desheng passed away in 1990, Sun Hung Kai has been run by the three Kwok brothers, and Kwok Bing-lian serves as the vice chairman and managing director of Sun Hung Kai's board of directors.

This person obviously has full authority to handle Sun Hung Kai's business. He is in Shanghai, and the core price of the bid can also be decided with one word.

But Fang Zhuo didn't recognize this person, and it was Guo Binglian who took the initiative to come over and introduce himself.

Oops, the biggest competitor is here.

"I have long heard that there is a great young talent in Shencheng." Guo Binglian was smiling, not showing off his grace because of the competition for territory, "I finally met Mr. Fang today."

"Mr. Guo is very complimentary." Fang Zhuo saw this person being polite, so he naturally greeted him politely, "I have only been in the company for a few years, and I still have to learn from my seniors."

Guo Binglian laughed loudly: "Indeed, the business world is constantly changing. Sometimes you are proud but sometimes you are frustrated. I always feel that I cannot keep up with the times and need to communicate more with talents."

He paused and continued: "In business, harmony makes money. Old guys like us sometimes still have some gas in the tank. Let's make progress together."

Fang Zhuo glanced at this person's expression, leaving a small question mark in his heart, and said with a smile: "I have heard about Sun Hung Kai's name for a long time. I am just getting involved in real estate. I will definitely go to Xiangjiang to learn more in the future. Seniors like Mr. Guo will always teach me Any experience would be helpful to Yongke.”

Guo Binglian smiled slightly, exchanged a few words and prepared to go on stage.

Fang Zhuo waited until the 1/3 head of the Guo family left, then turned to Liu Suyi and called him forward for questioning.

"Is there any new news from Sun Hung Kai?"

Liu Suyi said blankly: "Mr. Guo has been silent in Shanghai for almost a week. If he hadn't attended this exchange meeting, I would have thought he had returned to Xiangjiang. I haven't received any new news. Mr. Fang, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I just chatted with him for a few words, but I always felt that there was something indescribable in his words." Fang Zhuo has always had a keen sense of smell. He thought for a moment and doubted, "Is Sun Hung Kai going to show off its skills this time? It must be Take Zhuyuan Trading?”

Liu Suyi didn't say anything, who could be sure.

Fang Zhuo silently recalled the bidding for this piece of land. The time was already very close.

Yesterday, I heard that Kerry Properties' Kwok Kong Seng said "Bamboo Garden 3.7 or 800 million" at the dinner party. I don't know if he really thought that. That person's status in the Malay Kuok family is higher than that of Kuok Bing Lian, the third son of the Kuok family. Better than that.

No matter how you look at it, the bidding price should not exceed 4 billion.

"It's okay, you can go." Fang Zhuo waved to Liu Suyi and asked him to continue socializing at the exchange meeting, slowly sorting out all the factors in his mind.

Guo Binglian, who was on the stage, began to speak in a very humble and low-key manner, saying that he was very optimistic about the development of Shanghai and would repay the government and the people with good projects here.

Fang Zhuo applauded along with everyone and looked at the Hong Kong rich man on the stage who was not in the same era as himself.

Although this person is often said to be the third of the three Guo brothers, he is still over fifty.

In the second half of the exchange meeting, Fang Zhuo exchanged a few words with Guo Bing, but they still stopped at pleasantries.

That evening, after finishing all the work, Fang Zhuo sat in his study and tried to look at the bidding from a different perspective.

If you regard yourself as your opponent, how should you deal with Mr. Fang of Shencheng?

A new richest man in mainland China who owns two companies listed on the US stock market, he has money.

A young talent with a rumored background and seemingly proven provenance, he has connections.

A real estate tycoon who defeated the Li family and made bold statements when he first entered the real estate industry, he has great ambition.

Various factors will ultimately return to the core of the bidding price, and where does the price judgment come from?

information.

The industry's general understanding of land prices and the approximate range of bids from various competitors.

The latter is the deciding factor.

Information collection on this determinant…

Fang Zhuo slowly put out the cigarette.

He discovered the suspected problem.

My judgment on competitors and competitive prices basically comes from Qiu Di and Zheng Danrui. The former is the leader of the district where the land is located, and the latter is the deputy chief in charge of city work. It stands to reason that the information they come into contact with and produce has relative authority. sex.

However, after the last defeat of the Li family, wouldn't they have studied their relationships and connections in Shanghai?

Last year, he competed for the Eastern Fifth District, but he suddenly entered the game at the end and snatched away Hutchison Whampoa's prey. During that information transmission, Zheng Danrui made an appearance, and he was personally visited and lobbied by Zhou Kaixuan.

What about this time?

From the information passed on by Zheng Danrui, he knew that Changshi's deeper consideration was to target the 360,000-square-meter Luxiang Garden. He also learned from Qiu Di that he was visited by the developer-Qiu Lanhua's relationship with him was not the same. Not hard to find out.

The message delivered by these two people is very consistent. Cheung Kong is not the main competitor, but Sun Hung Kai and Kerry Properties are the main players.

The price range is confidential, and the vague words are only 36 or 37 at most. It would be strange to get an accurate price from Zheng and Qiu.

So……

Are you the one who wants this land the most this time?

Ms. Zhou.

Fang Zhuo judged others with his own mind, considered everything with the logic of conspiracy theories, and discovered a suspected information cocoon.

This is a bit like what I played in Sichuan a while ago - insider information is just information, never represents facts. You can know, but don't believe it.

Even if such insider information comes from a certain leader.

Fang Zhuo lit another cigarette and looked at the bidding based on his new considerations.

Sun Hung Kai and Kerry Properties, the former is one of the four major families in Hong Kong, and the latter is called the fifth family because part of its foundation is also in Hong Kong.

And this time, Cheung Kong, which is not very prominent, has the Li family behind it as the head of the four major families.

Even I, who has only been around for a few years, have various association titles in Shanghai and Luzhou. Do these three companies from Hong Kong have tacit understanding and connection for decades?

Who owes whom a favor and who is connected with whom, it will be completely unclear for a while.

If that's the case, 4 billion may not be enough to cover this land.

Fang Zhuo didn't finish the second cigarette, and was ready to find a way to verify his guess.

There are a total of seven companies this time, excluding myself and Bailian Group, there are still five left.

With less than 3 days left before the bid opening, it stands to reason that the person in charge has to wait for the bid opening result. If they win the bid, they need to communicate with the government. Those who have come here will not leave easily unless they are sure that they will not win the bid.

Fang Zhuo picked up the phone and asked someone to check the known person in charge of the bid in the five companies.

Sun Hung Kai, Cheung Kong, Swire, Kerry Properties, China Resources.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Fang Zhuo patiently smoked and waited for a reply.

Perhaps Zhou Kaixuan had experience from the last check, and the receipt was quick this time.

Sun Hung Kai√

Cheung Kong√

Swire×

Kerry Properties×

China Resources√

Unexpectedly, the person in charge of the Swire Group and Kerry Properties, who bid for this time, have left Shenyang. The former took a flight to Hong Kong yesterday, and the latter just flew to Beijing this afternoon.

Fang Zhuo was sure that he had received news from Kerry Properties' Guo Kongsheng yesterday that he was talking about land prices at a dinner party. He didn't expect that he had left today, and he was not going back to Hong Kong, but to Beijing.

This certainly does not rule out the possibility that the two companies do have important matters, and even if they win the bid, they can hand it over to their deputies to handle. However, it also provides more support for the conspiracy theory in his heart.

Fang Zhuo held a cigarette in his left hand and wrote the two words "Changshi" in his right hand.

Out of an inexplicable intuition, he felt that this time it was still Li Jiacheng's confidante Zhou Kaixuan who was working hard in the dark.

Maybe it was because she showed up last time to decide the outcome, and this time Ms. Zhou also wanted to return a similar scene.

By the way, she also had to crush the rumors in front of everyone. The Li family never had to look at anyone's face when doing business in Shencheng.

Fang Zhuo shook his head, put down the pen, crushed the last cigarette, and muttered to himself.

"I am suspicious by nature, and I can't blame you."
