Chapter 602: Power Depends on the Weight of the Chips

It should be said that it is the shadow of people's famous trees. Now Fan's Investment Group is no longer famous in the country when it was first established. When you mention Fan's Investment Group and Fan Wubing, there are many people. You know, from the air transportation industry to automobile manufacturing, from low-voltage electrical appliances to white goods, from military product supporting equipment to satellite communication service systems, from the mobile phone and chip industry to non-staple food processing, from the monopoly of the domestic rare earth industry to overseas mine development, the range Investment Group has become a behemoth with enormous influence.

Not to mention, today’s Fan Investment Group’s investment in domestic public welfare undertakings is also very strong, and even its overseas investments with political purposes have become astronomical. After all, Lombok in Indonesia The island base has begun to take shape at this time, and the navy and air force have also participated in the construction of the Lombok base in various ways, which is equivalent to the establishment of a large paramilitary base overseas.

Although the base personnel on Lombok all appear as employees of Fan Investment Group, in fact many of them are active military or retired military personnel. The Habibie government is also aware of this, but this is Everyone just pretends they don’t know the outcome of an agreement.

Overall, Fan Investment Group has become a large consortium that can influence the direction of national policies. Some of the decisions they make will naturally become market benchmarks and have a very important impact on the entire industry.

For now, if Fan Wubing spreads the word that he is going to enter the real estate industry in Beijing in a big way, all real estate developers will probably be worried that the cake on their table will be snatched away immediately. After all, Fan Investment Group What we have is not only abundant development funds, but also a set of advanced management techniques and deep personal relationships.

Even if Fan Wubing doesn't say anything, at the staff level, considering Fan Heng's political influence, it is impossible to deliberately create any obstacles for Fan Wubing. The best possibility is to provide as many obstacles as possible. Convenience measures were taken so that I could leave a better impression on Fan Wubing.

If Fan Wubing provided policy suggestions to Boss Zhu, Boss Zhu was only interested in the limited-time opening regulations, but when he said that Fan Investment Group was going to release news about entering the real estate industry in Beijing, , I feel that Fan Wubing’s move will undoubtedly put a Sword of Damocles over the heads of the real estate developers in the capital who are not very obedient.

"If your Fan Investment Group enters the real estate market in Beijing, it will be like putting a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads!" Boss Zhu couldn't help but say with emotion.

"What sword?" Fan Wubing asked casually without hearing clearly.

"Sword of Damocles, you don't know what this means?" Boss Zhu asked curiously.

Fan Wubing scratched his head,

My heart said how could I not even have heard of this sword? In the minds of Westerners, this sword is more famous than the Yitian Sword.

The origin of this sword comes from a historical story in ancient Greece. In the fourth century BC, King Dionysius of Syracuse in eastern Sicily attacked the aristocratic forces and established an Athenian-style political regime, but was defeated. The dissatisfaction and opposition of the nobles made him feel that although he had great power, his position was not reliable.

Once he discussed this issue with his favored minister Damocles and expressed his views to him in a vivid way. In order to satisfy the greed of his favorite Damocles, he entrusted the palace to him and gave him full power to realize any of his desires.

Damocles, who pursued vanity and was passionate about snobbery, looked up at the celebration banquet and saw a sharp long sword hanging heavily upside down under the ceiling above his seat, with only a horsehair tied to the hilt. He was about to die. It fell on his head and he was so frightened that he ran away from the table.

At this time, King Dionysius came out and said that the sharp sword on Damocles' head was a symbol of danger that threatened the king every minute. As for the king's happiness and well-being, it was just an external phenomenon.

Therefore, people use the Sword of Damocles to compare the murderous intent and danger behind the peace and tranquility, and warn people to always reflect on potential risks and resolve them.

"However, although our company has some strength, it is far from the level you mentioned, Boss Zhu. It is better not to spread the topic of the Sword of Damocles, otherwise it will have a negative impact on our reputation. "Fan Wubing naturally couldn't let the senior management feel that his company had begun to threaten the government's prestige, so he demanded from Boss Zhu.

Boss Zhu smiled and then said, "That's what I said, just listen to it."

But Boss Zhu also feels that Fan Wubing’s decision may be able to resolve the collective backlash of Beijing’s real estate developers at once. After all, between striving for nihilistic citizen treatment in the future and ensuring current high profits, not many people will choose the former. No one can predict what will happen in the future, but everyone can see the current high profits.

Rather than confronting the government and fighting for some unrealistic benefits, it is better to keep your head down and make money. When the financial strength is strong, the sea is wide and the fish can jump, and the sky is high and the birds can fly? The world is so big, where can’t we go?

As long as the alliance of Beijing real estate developers is broken, the biggest obstacle to the Huo Tiancheng case will be defeated, and the government will not have to worry about other influences, so the matter will be much simpler.

"When do you plan to announce the news, tomorrow?" Boss Zhu asked on the phone.

"Well, I don't plan to make it too grand, just casually announce the news." Fan Wubing replied, "If it is too formal, it will cause a big shock. Too much is as bad as too little."

Fan Wubing's worries are also correct. Sometimes, although the introduction of policies is very good, it is also important to grasp the coordination and timing. The most important thing is to be able to grasp the degree. It's like Fan Wubing wants to announce his entry into the Beijing real estate market. If it is too low-key, not many people will notice it, and it will not work. If it is too high-profile, too many people will notice it, and the effect will be too obvious. It is very likely that he will become the target of public criticism and the target of public attack. In that case, the price he pays will be too high.

There are two important meanings to dealing with Huo Tiancheng. The first is to solve the big trouble of Huo family once and for all. The second is to knock down those restless forces. Otherwise, they will not recognize the situation and will always bring more or less obstacles to their development in the future.

Just like in the Huo Tiancheng case this time, most people know that this matter is related to themselves, but there are still people who bite the bullet and go against the wind to protect Huo Tiancheng. Although this matter may have a certain connection with their own interests, no matter what, this is not giving themselves face.

If they don't know how powerful Fan's Investment Group is, it is estimated that similar things will happen in the future, so Fan Wubing must make the Huo Tiancheng case a solid case and let the three brothers of Huo Tiancheng be executed, which is also to establish his prestige.

Anyway, on the second day, November 9, when the headquarters of Fanshi Investment Group and its branches jointly held a firefighting exercise with the local fire department, a senior executive of the headquarters accidentally let slip when receiving visiting Shanghai local media reporters that Fanshi Investment Group was considering raising 20 billion yuan to enter the real estate market in Beijing.

This news is incredible. Although it has not been confirmed by other sources, everyone knows that Fanshi Investment Group has not entered the real estate market before, not because it has no money, but because the big boss Fan Wubing has no intention in this regard.

However, since the senior executives of Fanshi Investment Group headquarters have released such words at this time, it is naturally impossible to be a rumor. It must be that Fan Wubing has changed his mind and wants to join the competitive real estate market in Beijing.

Therefore, this important news was immediately added to the evening newspaper. After all, such a large business activity has such a far-reaching impact? That will be on the headlines of the newspaper at any time.

What is even more special is that the news collection staff of several major portals stationed in Shanghai immediately discovered the value of this news. Therefore, less than half an hour after the senior executive of Fan Investment Group finished speaking, the three major portals reported the matter with eye-catching headlines and invited many influential economists to analyze the feasibility of this matter.

After carefully expressing their opinions, most economists said that the current housing reform is the general trend. To solve the housing problem of the people, it is natural to vigorously open up the real estate market. As Fan Investment Group has always had a strong public welfare color and good cooperation with the government, it must have reason to support the government's decision.

In particular, some people also mentioned the infrastructure projects that Fan Investment Group has participated in across the country in recent years, as well as some actions that benefit the country and the people, such as building dams for reservoirs and building farmland water conservancy facilities. They believe that even if it is for the purpose of rectifying the current scattered real estate market, Fan Investment Group has sufficient reasons to get involved in this field, not to mention that the real estate market itself is also very profitable.

Real estate developers in Beijing immediately became alert to this. After all, although Beijing is a large area, the market capacity is limited. If Fan Investment Group enters Beijing in a high-profile manner, their funds and strength are enough to support them to get rid of banks and open various real estate projects independently. This will have a great impact on various real estate development companies that rely on bank loans for their livelihood.

They use their own funds to open, and the land acquisition cost and construction cost are obviously not higher than those of us, and some of the public relations costs will be so small that they can be ignored. I am afraid that there is no cost for us to confront them head-on. And there is another point. If Fan Investment Group is willing to borrow money from banks, it is estimated that banks will give them the most preferential treatment. After all, lending money to such a large company is much less likely to generate bad debts.

It is true that under normal circumstances, state-owned banks do not worry about generating bad debts at all, or sometimes they deliberately choose to generate some bad debts in order to achieve the good intentions of certain people. However, when it comes to loans of billions, tens of billions or more, no one is willing to take more risks. If you try to be cunning and clever in such a big matter, it is easy to get yourself into trouble.

Similar things have happened before, where loopholes were created by taking advantage of power. Although there was no official statement for the sake of influence, the relevant responsible persons were targeted and eliminated through some extreme channels in private. Therefore, for the sake of personal safety, not many people dare to play tricks on such a big thing. If it really comes to this, it would be a desperate move.

In addition, news from Fan's Investment Group shows that Fan's Investment Group is considering formulating an active real estate development plan to obtain a large amount of land from the capital for development.

However, this is not the end. On the second day, another news came from the political arena of Beijing. The government is planning to submit a motion to the National People's Congress to formally impose some restrictions on the real estate development industry. The most eye-catching thing is that it is said that there should be a restriction on the phenomenon of hoarding land, that is, within six months after obtaining a piece of land, it must be developed. Otherwise, the government will have the power to take back the land as a punishment.

Some people say that this is because in the next few years, some powerful big funds may start to enter the real estate market, using the huge funds in their hands to hoard land in order to make huge profits. This policy is to avoid such speculation in land.

This news immediately made everyone feel a serious threat. Although on the surface, this policy is vaguely restricting big funds such as Fan Investment Group from controlling Beijing land to avoid excessive land price increases, but for many real estate developers in Beijing, Fan Investment Group has not yet entered this market, and I have already felt the huge pressure brought by the new real estate policy.

To be honest, in the current domestic real estate market, when serious real estate developers get the land, the land has often passed through several hands. After layers of exploitation, the profit is already very thin. Those who can really make a lot of money are those who can get the land at the beginning, or those who can get the approval document for land transfer rights.

Only the most profitable business is to make money out of nothing. As for those who really open it, they earn hard-earned money.

Then, if this bill is really passed by the National People's Congress, the ones who will be most anxious are not the real estate developers, but those officials who enjoy reselling land. Therefore, everyone thinks that this bill may not be passed.
