Chapter 784 Feng Shui Turns
Coming out of the meeting room, Chen Ke saw that Li Dong seemed to be in a bad mood, and he hesitated to speak.
Although Li Dong was still thinking about money, he also saw this and asked, "What's the matter?"
Chen Ke hurriedly said: "President Li, tomorrow is August 18th."
"August 18..."
Li Dong was still figuring out the meaning of these words, and Chen Ke couldn't laugh or cry: "Tomorrow is a big day, Mr. Li, don't you remember?"
"On August 18, the promotion ends.
The first anniversary of Yuanfang Group.
Plus, tomorrow is your birthday. "
Li Dong was a little stunned when he heard the words, it was a coincidence that they all got together.
But having said that, Li Dong looked at Chen Ke strangely and said, "How do you know that my birthday is tomorrow?"
The birthday on his ID card is not on this day. Except for his parents, few people know when Li Dong's birthday is.
Although Chen Ke was his secretary, Li Dong never disclosed this matter.
Chen Ke blushed and said, "Sister Qiqi said it."
"Liu Qi?"
Thinking of Liu Qi, Li Dong felt relieved.
Because Liu Qi represented her parents on the board of directors, Li Dong asked Liu Qi to have more contact with her parents before.
With Liu Qi's ability, it is normal to know her real birthday from her parents.
Seeing that Li Dong was still thinking about something, Chen Ke said again: "Mr. Li, let's celebrate tomorrow. It's really rare to have so many happy events on the same day. What do you think?"
"The first anniversary of the establishment of the group should indeed be celebrated, but I don't need to disclose my birthday. It's not a big deal, so there's no need to make a big fuss."
When Li Dong said that, Chen Ke couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, the group's first anniversary celebration is not as important as Li Dong's birthday.
Originally, she wanted to use this opportunity to make the boss happy, but Li Dong didn't take it seriously at all.
Not entangled in the birthday matter anymore, Li Dong ordered: "Get ready in the afternoon and let Lao Tan prepare the car. I'm going to Longhua Square to have a look."
Although he is familiar with Longhua Plaza, it is not his territory after all. Li Dong is not too concerned about the other floors except for the second floor.
Now if you want to buy Longhua Plaza, you have to go and have a look.
With more than one billion transactions, plus it's right at your doorstep, it would be foolish not to check it out.
Chen Ke thought he was going to inspect the Longhua store, and said, "Should I inform the manager of Longhua?"
"Notification, and another notification to the management of Longhua Plaza."
This time Li Dong didn't go to inspect the Longhua store, but inspected the entire Longhua Square.
There is no need to be sneaky about this kind of thing. Notifying the people in Longhua is also to understand the operation of the entire square more clearly and quickly.
Chen Ke couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard that the people in Longhua had to be notified. Just as he was about to ask questions, Li Dong laughed and said, "Longhua Square may be renamed in a while."
"Rename?"
"Well, change it to Yuanfang Square."
Chen Ke was stunned for a moment, and then he looked in disbelief. The group wants to buy Longhua Plaza?
...
Longhua Square.
It wasn't just Chen Ke who was incredible, Wang Yunqing touched his bald head and murmured: "I can't imagine it!"
The deputy manager next to him seemed to lose his mind when he saw the manager answering the phone, and couldn't help but ask, "Manager, what's the matter?"
Wang Yunqing said with a half cry and a half smile: "We may be laid off."
"What?"
The deputy manager looked surprised and said, "Manager, are you kidding me?"
"Are you kidding, am I a joker?"
Wang Yunqing said with some emotion: "When he came here to rent a shop, I was the one who received him. I didn't expect that in just a few years, he would turn into a dragon when encountering a storm!"
The deputy manager didn't understand, and was still struggling with the layoff.
Wang Yunqing didn't speak for a while, and the two fell silent.
After a while, the deputy manager said with a serious face: "Manager, what's the matter? Longhua Plaza has been doing well.
We didn't dereliction of duty, how could we be laid off? "
"Because the group is going to sell the square."
"Sold the square!"
The deputy manager shook again and sold Longhua Plaza?
This is simply a joke!
If Wang Yunqing hadn't said this with a serious face, he would definitely lose his temper when others said this.
In his opinion, if the Longhua Group does not collapse for a day, the square will not change hands.
But now, the plaza has only been in operation for a few years, and the group is actually going to sell it?
Wang Yunqing sighed: "It's going to be sold. I didn't believe it at first, but I just contacted the group headquarters, and they asked us to entertain Yuanfang and his party. If you have any questions, we all know everything, including some Core operating information.
You said, if it wasn't for the sale of the square, how could the distance come to inspect the square, and how could the group issue such an order? "
"Want to buy from afar?"
The deputy manager suddenly felt a little relieved. If someone else wanted to buy it, they still couldn't believe it and couldn't understand it.
But when it comes to buying from afar, everyone is relieved.
Yuanfang Longhua store is very famous in Longhua Plaza. In addition, Yuanfang Group had expressed its intention to buy the square before, but was rejected by the boss.
Now to bring up the topic again, it seems that it is really going to be sold.
Now the deputy manager also understood who Wang Yunqing was talking about.
When Li Donglai rented the shop, the deputy manager didn't work here.
However, the Yuanfang Group quickly rose to prominence, and Li Dong's affairs became gossip.
Yuanfang Longhua store is the first store of Yuanfang Group in Pingchuan, and it has always been a very important store, and it was even the only first-class store of Yuanfang Group.
If it weren't for the problems in the later period, the Longhua store was downgraded, and I am afraid that the status is even higher now.
Thinking of this, the deputy manager hurriedly asked: "Is the distant place coming to inspect? Is Mr. Li coming in person?"
"I'm not sure. It didn't say that over there, but it was a call from the director's office in the distance. It should be Mr. Li who came over in person."
"Then we..."
"Do a good job at the reception, keep the notification going, cheer me up today!"
Wang Yunqing said solemnly: "This time Longhua Plaza is sold, we are in trouble. I said that I was laid off before. I was not joking. Without Longhua Plaza, how will we be settled?
There are two biggest possibilities now. First, we were recalled to the headquarters and downgraded to stay.
Second, when Yuanfang took over Longhua Plaza, it also took us over together.
This possibility is very high. After all, we have been managing the mall for a while, and if we change people hastily, there may be troubles.
In other words, Yuanfang may become our new owner.
To be honest, there is still a high possibility that I will be left behind. After all, I am familiar with Mr. Li, and if I really want to change my employer, Yuanfang is also good.
But you are not sure, Xiao Chen, we have been partners for a few years, and this is the first time you meet Mr. Li, if you don’t leave a good impression, it is uncertain whether we will be able to work together in the future. "
Chen Jian was grateful when he heard it: "Manager, thank you for your reminder, then I will go down and make arrangements. Don't worry, your partner in the past few years also knows me as a person, and I promise to follow the manager's lead!"
Wang Yunqing nodded with a smile and said, "Go, if I don't believe you, I won't mention you."
"Thank you manager!"
"..."
...
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Dong and his party arrived at Longhua Square.
At this moment, under Longhua Square, there are more than a dozen people standing looking forward to it.
Among them, the people in Longhua were a little nervous, even Wang Yunqing was really nervous.
He said nicely that he knew Li Dong, and Li Dong would probably keep him.
But in fact, he didn't deal with Li Dong many times. After Li Dong got rich, he never contacted him once. It's hard to say whether he still remembers him now.
However, the group of people in the Yuanfang Supermarket were totally different from them, everyone from the store manager to the manager showed excitement on their faces.
Yuanfang Group is likely to acquire Longhua Plaza, and they also know the news.
Now the chairman is here to inspect it in person, and things seem to be pretty much the same.
As soon as Li Dong's Maybach stopped, the store manager Longhua hurried up to greet him with people.
When Li Dong got out of the car, the store manager Longhua said excitedly, "Hello, chairman!"
Li Dong glanced at him and said with a smile: "Zhang Yuan, I didn't expect you to be the store manager now. It seems that my boss is a bit negligent and I never knew about it."
Seeing Li Dong calling out his name, Zhang Yuan was excited and said, "The chairman is involved in important matters, so why should the chairman pay attention to such trivial matters?"
Li Dong laughed again. Speaking of Zhang Yuan, he was also a veteran from far away.
Although they are not from the Dongping store, they are also the first batch of employees of the new store in the distance. When Qi Yunna was the store manager in Nanping, Zhang Yuan was the operation director of Nanping.
Later, Qi Yunna was in charge of the supermarket business, and Li Dong handed over the personnel rights of several second-level store managers to Qi Yunna.
Zhang Yuan has also risen with the tide, and logically took over the Longhua store, which was once known as the flagship store in the distance.
Li Dong had a vague impression of this matter, but now he doesn't care much about it, and he doesn't remember it clearly.
After greeting Zhang Yuan, Li Dong looked at Wang Yunqing and the others who were walking beside him and said with a smile, "Manager Wang, long time no see!"
When Wang Yunqing heard Li Dong calling him, he quickly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Li Dong, long time no see."
Li Dong said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while. When I saw Manager Wang, I thought of the wild words that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. At that time, I was penniless, so I opened my mouth and asked how much I could sell on the second floor of Longhua. The memory is still fresh!"
Wang Yunqing smiled and complimented: "This is the success of Li Dong. If it were us, we would not even dare to think about it. Only Li Dong dared to think and dare to do it. It has only been a few years, and even the entire building has to be returned. Into the distance."
After a few words of flattery, Wang Yunqing hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, why don't you go to the management office to rest for a while, and I will take you to investigate later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yuan said: "Chairman, why don't you go to the supermarket and sit down first. Everyone is looking forward to the chairman's arrival, especially looking forward to the chairman's visit to the supermarket." What about it?"
Seeing the two scrambling for the invitation, Li Dong smiled and said, "It's not that I haven't been here before, and I'm not here to rest today. Let's take a look around first, and then we'll sit down and talk slowly after watching."
"good!"
The two hurriedly responded, and took the lead in leading the way.
Li Dong led Wu Shengnan and his party into the room. So many people entered together, which attracted many people's attention.
Someone who knew Li Dong couldn't help but said, "With such a big battle, Boss Li is going to do something big again?"
A passerby who was unclear about the matter asked curiously: "Boss Li? Who is it?"
"Who else, the big boss in the distance. Those people were waiting downstairs just now. I thought who was picking up, but it turned out to be picking him up. Don't say it, Li Dong has enough face now, even the people of Longhua Group have to be obedient Wait downstairs to meet him."
"People from Longhua Group... didn't they say that Li Dong and Longhua's boss are rivals? How could people from Longhua pick him up?"
"You are all old calendars. The big boss of Longhua, Xu Jianghua, retired at the beginning of the month, and now his son is in charge of the house. I heard that his son and Li Dong have a good relationship. Guess if the two are going to cooperate this time?" ?”
"I don't know that."
"That's right, we don't care about the affairs of these rich people. I am now hoping that the real estate company in the distance can continue to operate, and the housing prices are now horribly high.
Those who bought a house last year were cool. At that time, several communities were built in the distance, which pulled down the price all at once.
Now these several communities have been completed, and the speed is very fast, and many people have got the keys. If they are sold now, they will make a lot of money at once. "
"Hey, what you said makes sense. I regret it now. When Yuanfang sold the house last year, I thought that the price might drop further.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the houses in the distance will be sold out, and when they are sold out, other real estate developers will immediately increase their prices.
It’s still good enough here in Yuanfang. Next time Yuanfang still sells a house, I promise to be the first to buy it. I regret it to death. "
"Whoever says it's not, regrets it, but it's useless to regret it now. Probably the price is too low, and there is no money to make in the distance, so the house is not built directly."
"Why!"
"..."
Li Dong is naturally not clear about the regrets of the people who eat melons.
At the moment Li Dong is listening to Wang Yunqing's explanation.
After listening for a while, Li Dong questioned: "For other commercial plazas, the cost can usually be recovered in ten years. Longhua Plaza is located in the center of the business district, and the occupancy rate is as high as 90%. According to you, the annual rent is only 60 million. Among them, the operating expenses are as high as tens of millions.
Calculated in this way, wouldn't it take more than 20 years to recover the cost?
Is it an operational issue, or something else? "
This is actually what Li Dong is confused about. It stands to reason that the occupancy rate in such a good location as Longhua Plaza is not low.
In addition, it still has all the property rights of Longhua Group, so it is not possible to earn only such a small income.
In 2007, it was the peak period of real estate. When there was no financial crisis, the speed of commercial real estate payment was still very fast.
Generally, 10 to 15 years is the normal speed, and more than 20 years is a bit abnormal.
Hearing Li Dong ask this question, Wang Yunqing was a little stuck for a while.
He didn't speak, but Chen Jian behind him hesitated to answer: "Dong Li, there is a reason for this."
Li Dong suddenly became interested, and asked with a smile: "Tell me, what is the specific reason?"
Wang Yunqing was slightly dissatisfied when he saw Chen Jian answering the conversation, but seeing that Li Dong was interested, Wang Yunqing hesitated for a while and still didn't interrupt.
