Chapter 417 Benefits Outweigh Faces

While the two were silent, there was a knock on the office door.

Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said, "Come in."

Chen Ke opened the door and entered, greeted Li Dong and Shen Qian, and then said with a strange expression: "President Li, someone is looking for you."

"who?"

"Chen Hongming."

"Chen Hongming..." Li Dong looked suspicious, feeling that the name was familiar, but he didn't remember it for a while.

Chen Ke explained, "It's the guy from the hotel last time."

When Chen Ke said this, Li Dong suddenly remembered, and then he asked suspiciously: "He is looking for me? Is he alone?"

"No, there is another young man who says he is your friend, Mr. Li."

"My friend? Did you say your name?"

"He said his name was Wang Ming."

"Damn, how did this guy get in touch with them?" Li Dong muttered to himself, and Shen Qian next to him asked curiously, "Who is Wang Ming?"

"It's the guy who cooperated with me and Xu Shengzhe last time. He invested 10 million and picked up 60 million for nothing."

Li Dongyi said that Shen Qian also knew this person.

When Li Dong and the others went to Xincheng, they happened to meet Wang Ming and his group who were also going to buy land. In order to prevent conflicts, Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe finally decided to cooperate with Wang Ming.

Wang Ming managed to get 10 million together, but in a month, he multiplied it seven times, making a net profit of 60 million.

It would be impossible to say that Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe didn't mind at all.

However, since that cooperation, Wang Ming also has self-knowledge, and has never contacted Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe again. Li Dong almost forgot about this guy.

Unexpectedly, this guy is now getting involved with Chen Hongming and his group again. It seems that after making money, Wang Ming can't stay idle, and he is probably ready to do a big job.

Li Dong knocked on the table and pondered for a while, then asked Shen Qian, "Chen Hongming seems to be in real estate business, right?"

"Well, he and that baldy Wang are both engaged in real estate,

You mean they came for that field? "

"It's very likely."

Li Dong is not surprised that it was that woman who came to look for him, that is, the woman named Xia Ran.

It's not surprising that the jewelry store cooperates with the supermarket, but it's Chen Hongming who came instead of Xia Ran, so it's most likely because of this land.

Li Dong also checked the backgrounds of these people, but Li Dong hadn't considered them before. The main reason was that the opponent's strength didn't seem to be enough, and they probably couldn't afford more than three billion land.

But now that the other party has come to the door, does it mean that he has confidence in his heart?

No matter what, we still have to meet. The other party is a local tycoon in Shudu. If Li Dong wants to enter Shudu, he must develop some contacts.

The capital of Shu is too far away, and it is impossible for Li Dong to have the time to go there at ordinary times. Now that the other party has come to visit, it is just a good time to try it out.

...

Distant conference room.

After the little assistant poured tea and went out, Chen Hongming whispered, "Will Li Dong meet us?"

Wang Ming comforted: "It will definitely be, otherwise it will be fine if you just say that you are not there. If you are impatient and can't eat hot tofu, Mr. Chen will wait."

Chen Hongming nodded, and then smiled wryly: "The incident last time really caused a big oolong, I knew it was Li Dong's person... Sigh, forget it, it's too late to say this now."

Wang Ming said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal. They're all businessmen. Who doesn't do business that makes money? Li Dong is also a human being. He has money to make. What's wrong with being punched? Mr. Wang got a broken rib and lay down." Don’t you still think about making money in the hospital, if you give me a punch, don’t let me earn 100 million, I will do 100,000.”

Chen Hongming glanced at him, and suddenly said after a while: "Really?"

"Ahem..."

Wang Ming coughed a few times, unable to laugh or cry, and said, "Mr. Chen, let me use an analogy, and you are serious."

Chen Hongming shook his head and laughed, but did not continue to tease him.

For people like them, benefits are more important than face, but that also depends on how big the benefits are.

For example, Wang Ming, if you give him a black eye, he may forget about one million, because he thinks one million is quite a deal.

But if it's 100,000 yuan, to be honest, for Wang Ming who made 60 million yuan in a business, this amount of money is not enough to make him feel ashamed.

In the same way, if Li Dong was punched and published in the newspaper, if he could make a lot of money, he would naturally not care about these guys anymore.

But if Li Dong felt that the money he earned was not enough to make up for the previous losses, then any cooperation would be false.

While the two were chatting, Li Dong and Shen Qian entered the meeting room together.

As soon as Li Dong entered the door, Chen Hongming and Wang Ming stood up quickly. Chen Hongming stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, Mr. Shen, I'm sorry for the facts last time. Lao Wang is still in the hospital now, and I specially asked me to replace him. I apologize to everyone, and I invite President Li Haihan."

Li Dong stretched out his hand to shake him, and said with a light smile, "There's no need to apologize. Last time, the people under my command didn't know how to handle it properly and hurt Mr. Wang and Mr. Chen. I should be the one to say sorry."

"President Li was joking, it's all our fault..."

The two chatted politely for a while, and Wang Ming next to him interrupted and said with a smile, "President Li, we meet again."

Li Dong nodded and said with a smile: "Wang Ming, I haven't seen you for a while, where did you get rich?"

Wang Ming smiled wryly and said: "What kind of money is there? If you don't have Mr. Li with you, it's not bad if you don't lose money. I'm just sitting on the mountain and eating nothing. I heard that Mr. Chen and Mr. Wang have an opportunity here, so they also come to join in the fun, okay? You can’t make money, and it’s up to you, Mr. Li, to see if you will reward me later.”

Wang Ming and Chen Hongming kept their postures very low.

Wang Ming didn't say anything, he was able to make a fortune, borrowing Li Dong's light, it's normal to lower his posture a bit.

But Chen Hongming is also a figure in the capital of Sichuan, he can be regarded as a local tycoon, and it is really beyond the reach of ordinary people to lower his posture so low.

After Wang Ming finished speaking, Li Dong was not too polite to them, and asked, "Are you here for the land on the Pedestrian Street?"

Li Dong got straight to the point, Wang Ming and Chen Hongming were a little surprised.

But soon the two of them came to their senses, and Wang Ming quickly nodded and said, "Exactly, aren't you talking about this with Tianyu Dafeng these days? Didn't we reach an agreement?"

"without."

When Li Dong directly admitted that no agreement was reached, both of them were overjoyed.

These days, this land is the hottest in the Jiangbei real estate industry.

Originally, this land was photographed by Li Dong, and everyone lost their minds, because this guy has always been in and out.

But when everyone knew that Li Dong didn't want this land, and the previous auction had only reached a consensus with a few groups from outside the province, powerful real estate developers began to be excited.

The land on the Pedestrian Street is indeed a good land, and after the auction, the housing price has risen again, and the land price has also risen accordingly.

At that time, everyone felt that 3 billion 50 million was a bit high, but looking at it now, it does not need to be the end of the year, and now, 3 billion is not too expensive.

If the house price rises a little bit more, the land will still have to rise, and the probability of losing money is too low.

And it's not just a question of whether to make money, the reason why many companies outside the province want to win this land is also to use it as a springboard.

After taking this land and developing a commercial street in the most core commercial area in Jiangbei, the reputation will be opened up at once.

Chen Hongming and Wang Pengfei are not weak, and they have always wanted to expand the company's business.

However, in Shudu, their companies are almost in a bottleneck period.

As for the provinces near central Sichuan, due to geographical and economic reasons, the three directions of west, south and north are not suitable for developing the real estate industry and expanding business.

Only the eastern provinces can only be developed. The middle of Shu is eastward, and the closest one is naturally Hubei Province.

However, the capital of Hubei Province is Jiangcheng, which is also one of the core cities in the central region. The competition there is too fierce. With the strength of Chen Hongming and Wang Pengfei, it is difficult to get a share of Jiangcheng's pie.

Further to the east is Jiangbei.

Pingchuan is also the provincial capital of Jiangbei, and Jiangbei's economy is also stable, which is more suitable for the development of large and medium-sized real estate companies like them.

It's a pity that during the Pingchuan auction, they came a step late, failed to register, and were not eligible to bid, so neither of them went to the auction.

Originally, the auction was over, and the two of them were going to see if there was any other way, and took a few pieces of land to test the waters.

But because of the dispute with Li Dong last time, Jiangbei also rumored that Li Dong and Du Anmin had an irresistible relationship. Both Chen Hongming and Wang Pengfei knew how strong the government was, and they were planning to go to Yu Province to investigate the market after Wang Pengfei recovered from his injury.

But at this time, they suddenly heard that Li Dong was going to transfer the commercial land in his hands, Wang Pengfei and Chen Hongming were immediately moved.

Coupled with the lack of local contacts and the lack of someone to build a bridge with Li Dong, they came and went, and the two finally found Wang Ming.

At this time, Wang Ming was also worried about the next step of development. When Chen Hongming and the others came to find him, Wang Ming started from the land again. The two sides hit it off and reached an agreement immediately.

Then there was the matter of Wang Ming and Chen Hongming coming to a distant place together.

...

Li Dong was not interested in how Wang Ming and Chen Hongming got together.

Greeting the two to sit down, Li Dong said again: "I won't talk about the polite words. You must have visited the land and inquired about the situation. Make a price. If the price is right, we will make a deal. If the price is not If it suits, I'll stay by myself, Tianyu and Dafeng want to take advantage of me, Li Dong, it's a good idea."

Chen Hongming smiled wryly, you are really straightforward.

However, he also knew Li Dong's temperament. Although the two parties had only dealt with each other once, Chen Hongming also knew that this guy was not a loser.

After pondering for a while, Chen Hongming said, "3.15 billion, what does Mr. Li think?"

Li Dong glanced at him with a half-smile and said: "It seems that you understand quite clearly that Tianyu bid 3.13 billion, but should I take care of him? You add 20 million, sincerity is there, but two It must not be enough, a one-time price, 3.2 billion, if you can do it, you can do it, but if you can't, forget it.

I'm going abroad in a few days, so I don't have time to have a long talk with you.

Before the 8th, you didn't make a decision, so I will keep this piece of land by myself. Speaking of this, if you want it, you can go back and discuss it yourself. "

Chen Hongming and Wang Ming looked at each other, and they exchanged eyes for a moment.

After a while, Wang Ming smiled and said, "Mr. Li is straightforward, how about this, Mr. Chen and I can't make a decision so quickly, we have to go back and ask Mr. Wang's opinion. No need for the 8th, tomorrow, tomorrow we will definitely Give Mr. Li an answer, whether you want it or not, we will not waste Mr. Li's time."

Li Dong smiled and said, "Okay, that's it."

After Li Dong finished speaking, the meeting ended, and the time was very short, only about ten minutes.

However, Wang Ming and Chen Hongming were quite satisfied. In any case, Li Dong at least gave a price and didn't reject cooperation. That's enough.

As for 50 million more than their bid, this is also in their psychological budget.

If 3.15 billion could be won, Li Dong would have negotiated with Tianyu long ago, and it would not be their turn to meddle.

Just when the two were about to leave, Shen Qian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Business is business, you go back and tell Baldy Wang that his business is up to Li Dong, but I don't! Let Baldy Wang publish an apology." , otherwise I will never end this matter with him!"

Chen Hongming's face changed slightly, and Wang Ming hastily pulled him.

Then he smiled at Shen Qian and said: "Mr. Shen, don't worry, we will definitely convey this. What happened last time was indeed Mr. Wang's fault, and Mr. Wang himself regretted it. As for the apology published in the newspaper, we cannot replace Mr. Wang." I will always reply to you, but I think President Wang is definitely willing."

Chen Hongming frowned, feeling that Wang Ming was overreaching.

Did you say this casually?

Although Wang Pengfei is not well-known in Pingchuan, he is also a well-known figure in Shudu.

It's fine if someone broke his ribs, and he was asked to apologize in the newspaper. Where does this make Wang Pengfei lose face?

However, Chen Hongming didn't say anything. He also contacted Wang Ming several times, and felt that Wang Ming was not that kind of stupid person. He must have his own intentions in what he said.

Then Wang Ming exchanged some polite words with Shen Qian, and under Shen Qian's indifferent gaze, he pulled Chen Hongming out of the distant company together.

After leaving the Universal Building, Chen Hongming stopped in his tracks.

Seeing this, Wang Ming smiled and said, "Mr. Chen thinks I'm too flattering?"

Chen Hongming said with a light smile: "That's not true, but I think Mr. Wang must have his own reasons, otherwise, Old Wang wouldn't have compromised so easily."

Wang Ming nodded and said, "Of course there is a reason. Does Mr. Chen know who Mr. Shen was just now?"

"The general manager from far away? But I heard that the general manager from far away is a man..."

"It seems that Mr. Chen and Mr. Wang need to understand the situation in Jiangbei. Jiangbei's surname is Du, but his surname is also Shen. Du Chen's family is Secretary Du's only daughter. It's not too much for Mr. Wang to apologize, right?"

Chen Hongming was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I didn't expect that, no wonder there are rumors that..."

"President Chen speaks carefully." Wang Ming interrupted him with a smile, and said, "It's just an apology in the newspaper. It not only resolved the grievances with Li Dong, but also let Miss Shen vent her anger. There is no loss to President Wang. , I think Mr. Wang will definitely agree."

Chen Hongming smiled and nodded when he heard the words: "That's true. If Old Wang knew about this, he would definitely agree. This guy has a thick skin, and if he apologizes, he apologizes. Anyway, few people in Pingchuan know who he is."

"now it's right."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and nodded tacitly. Anyway, it was Wang Pengfei who apologized, and it had nothing to do with them, so naturally they had to talk to Wang Pengfei properly when they turned around.
