Chapter Eight Hundred and Eighty Sixth: Continue to Work

New Year's Eve.

Thousands of lights.

The Spring Festival in the Li family is more lively every year.

For the past ten years or so, a family of three celebrated the New Year by themselves.

In the past, there were not many relatives in the Li family, and the two brothers Li Chengyuan and Li Chenghui also celebrated the New Year separately. Cao Fang's relatives had almost lost contact in the past 20 years.

This year, there is almost no room for a table.

Chen Jing's mother and daughter, Cao Feng and his wife, Cao Yu, two children, three members of the Li family, a total of ten people.

The more people there are, the more atmosphere there will be.

Eating and drinking, accompanied by the voice-over of the Spring Festival Gala on TV, Li Dong was a little dazed.

Every time at this time, Li Dong would think of how lonely he was in his previous life.

At that time, on New Year's Eve, there was such a lively scene.

I ordered a small drink by myself, drank a couple of sips, and didn't even bother to watch TV.

Shaking his head, Li Dong picked up the wine glass and had a drink with his parents, feeling extremely happy.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Li Lan took the two children downstairs to set off fireworks, and Cao Feng went with him worriedly.

The four women built the Great Wall, and Dad served on the sidelines, acting as a substitute by the way.

Li Dong watched the battle for a while before being driven away by his mother.

No way, Li Dong had a lot of phone calls this day.

Friends, classmates, subordinates, partners...

Usually, everyone is too embarrassed to call or bother Li Dong, but today is New Year's Eve, so you should greet him no matter what.

From 9 o'clock to 12 o'clock, Li Dong's phone was never disconnected, and his phone started to get hot.

After 12 o'clock, the phone calls gradually decreased.

Only then did Li Dong have time to call Qin Yuhan and Shen Qian respectively.

The two women also knew that he was very busy at this time, and the phone line had been busy before.

In fact, they are not idle, Shen Qian went to Shen's house to celebrate the New Year this year, and there are many Shen family members, so she was very bored this night.

Like Qin Yuhan, as Yuanfang became more and more famous, there were more relatives in the Qin family.

When Li Dong called, Qin Yuhan complained to Li Dong in a low voice, she didn't even sleep on the sofa at night.

There's no way, there are too many aunts and aunts, so it's not easy for her as a junior to occupy the room.

The Qin family was not short of money to stay in a hotel, but it was not easy to send people to the hotel for the New Year's Eve, and everyone said that it would be fine to squeeze in at night, and in the end Qin Yuhan and a distant cousin of his had made a floor bunk in the room.

Li Dong gave a few words of comfort with a smile, and hung up the phone after chatting for more than ten minutes.

After talking on the phone with the two of them, it was almost one o'clock.

Li Dong looked through the phone book, saw the familiar name, and wanted to send a text message or make a phone call, but he didn't do it for a long time.

In the end, Li Dong sighed and dropped the phone.

In the past, during Chinese New Year or major festivals, Yuan Xue would take the initiative to send a text message, but this year she did not.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Dong actually sent a text message, but unfortunately no one replied.

Up to now, Li Dong doesn't even know whether Yuan Xue has changed her number, maybe she has, maybe she hasn't, Li Dong doesn't know either.

Every time he wanted to make a phone call, Li Dong suppressed it.

Now that she has made up her mind and she is exhausted, maybe this is the best result.

...

A city in the south.

A small room.

Yuan Xue stared at the phone for a long time, and finally couldn't help but teardrops rolled down.

Is it broken?

Isn't this the result I want, why do I feel empty in my heart?

From the moment I made up my mind, didn't I already make such preparations?

Tears wet her clothes, and after an unknown amount of time, Yuan Xue gritted her teeth, opened the back cover of the phone, pulled out the SIM card and threw it out of the window.

Since you know there is no future, why bother to keep a glimmer of hope for yourself.

The moment the phone card was thrown out, tears fell like broken pearls.

...

The first day of the first month.

From this day on, the Li family has welcomed new year visitors one after another.

In the past few years, as Yuanfang has become bigger and bigger, there are more and more executives, and there are more people paying New Year's greetings.

Li Dong didn't go anywhere that day, and specially received these guests at home.

Li Dong chatted for a long time with some executives who didn't meet often.

In the past few years, Li Dong has been saying that he will inspect the whole country and do a large-scale inspection.

But every time he was ready, something would haunt him.

Up to now, in fact, Li Dong himself does not have a high degree of control over the company, and he has never been to many provincial branches, and it is all maintained by these people.

In order to express importance, always say a few more words.

Busy, until the evening, the guests gradually dispersed.

...

The second day of the first month.

Li Dong started another busy day.

On this day, he had to go to Qin's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Going to Qin's house this year is completely different from last year.

It's not that Yang Yun and the others have changed their attitudes, it's mainly because of Qin Yuhan's second uncle and aunt.

When Li Dong went there last year, the attitude of the two couples was lukewarm. Although they didn't speak bad words, they could only be regarded as flat.

However, this year, the enthusiastic Li Dong suspects that he has entered the wrong door.

It wasn't that he entered the wrong door, it was that Qin Yuhan was actually not Yang Yun's daughter, and he had made a mistake all along, it was the daughter of these two.

In fact, it is not to blame for Li Dong's delusions. Although Yuanfang was somewhat famous last year, his reputation was not too great.

At that time, Qin Yuhan's second uncle and aunt didn't know him at all.

However, in 2007, Yuanfang made several limelights, and Li Dong often appeared on the pages of some news newspapers.

Today is the information age, and Qin Hai works far away, so Qin and his wife pay more attention to the news from far away.

After several visits, the couple realized that it turned out that the person who came to the door during the Chinese New Year last year was actually the boss from far away!

For this matter, the couple quarreled many times.

One blamed the other party for being idle and doing a good job of introducing boyfriends to his niece. If Li Dong found out about this, he would have to hate them to death.

One blames the other party for not even knowing that Li Dong is Qin Yuhan's boyfriend. Fortunately, you and Qin Hai are still brothers. If you had known about this earlier, you shouldn't have had the same attitude last year.

After arguing and arguing, the couple finally reached an agreement that they must perform well this year.

That's why when Li Dong came to the door, he encountered this scene.

I had lunch at Qin's house at noon, and in the afternoon Li Dong went out with Qin Yuhan for a tour, another day passed.

...

February 10, the fourth day of the first month.

Ordinary employees can still take a few more days off, but Li Dong and the others can't.

Last year, there were still many unresolved issues. This year they have to go to work early.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Li Dong rushed to the company.

Other executives have also been in place.

A meeting was held in the morning, and the tasks were simply arranged. By the way, some things from last year were finished, and it was almost over in the morning.

After the meeting, Yuan Chengdao and Wu Shengnan stayed alone.

What they discussed was the next trip to the capital. This is the first time that Dongyu Real Estate will develop across provinces.

What I went to was not other places, but the capital.

Although it is just a one-time land acquisition, the impact is extraordinary, and several people attach great importance to it.

Wu Shengnan briefly introduced the situation of the land in the CBD, and then said: "It is not easy to obtain land in the capital, ordinary land, or land in the suburbs is not a big problem.

And this kind of prime location in a commercial area is not so easy to win.

Vanke and SOHO have almost monopolized the real estate market in Beijing. Even China Resources entered the capital after a bloody battle.

We are just going now, and we are likely to be attacked by several groups. "

This kind of thing is not very likely, but inevitable.

How many real estate companies want to enter the capital these years?

Countless!

But how many companies can survive in the end, and how many companies can grow bigger?

Could it be that these real estate companies have no money?

no!

Money is only one aspect, mainly due to the crowding out of several other real estate companies, and another point is the attitude of the local government.

Even though Beijing is the capital of a country, it sounds good to say that there will be no local protectionism, but in fact, don't take it seriously.

Enterprises such as Vanke have been based in the capital for many years, and their network of contacts has long spread throughout the capital.

At this time, the Beijing government will unconsciously be a little biased.

After several times of competition, the real estate company finally found that making money in the capital was not as much as in other places, so naturally they were unwilling.

Therefore, some large companies have chosen to retreat, while small companies do not have the strength to compete with them.

After coming and going, those real estate companies in the capital also became more and more publicized.

After Wu Shengnan finished speaking, Yuan Chengdao also said seriously: "Although Mayor Du is now in power in the capital, he should not favor us too much in this respect.

The best result is that the two will not help each other, and the government will not exert other pressure.

But even so, when we enter Beijing now, I am afraid that there will be a lot of fighting between dragons and tigers.

Compared with supermarkets, in everyone's eyes, real estate is a big piece of fat.

There are a lot of people staring at this piece of meat, and it is not an exaggeration at all that we are going to snatch it from the mouth of a tiger.

I think that even if we can win that piece of land this time, the price will not be small. The only way is probably to use money to open the way.

We can enter the market only if other companies that spend money and money dare not stop them. "

Wu Shengnan also nodded in agreement, but still said: "Of course, there is one advantage now, that is, the financial crisis hits, and everyone's life is hard.

The real estate industry, in particular, has been hit a little harder than other industries.

The major real estate companies are no longer as unscrupulous as they used to be. In the past, 90% of the money used to buy land and build buildings came from banks.

Now even if the local government supports it, I am afraid that they can only get half of the money from the bank.

This is an opportunity for us. Real estate companies like Vanke may not necessarily have as much cash flow as we do, regardless of their scale. "

Li Dong nodded slightly after hearing this, which was one of the reasons why he chose to enter the capital at this time.

In the past, the real estate industry in Beijing was monolithic, and it was impossible to get in even if you wanted to.

Now there is a loophole in this line of defense, as long as you are willing to spend money, entering the field is not a big problem.

After Wu Shengnan finished speaking, Li Dong asked, "How much money can we use now?"

"2.5 billion."

Wu Shengnan quickly said that there were actually 3.2 billion left before, but it was spent on Longhua.

Li Dong nodded and said: "It's almost enough, and there are Longhua's shares. I talked to Longhua recently. I talked to Xu Shengzhe a few days ago, and there is still a sum of money to return."

"Okay, I'll let someone talk about it right away." Wu Shengnan responded.
