Evening, Peninsula Hotel, Kowloon.

Lei Yunrong, Huo Zhenting and Hu Junshi chatted while eating steak.

"The Western food at the Peninsula Hotel is just like this. I really don't know why you like to eat here, Ah Rong." Huo Zhenting complained while using his knife and fork without stopping at all.

"There's not much reason, it's just that I'm used to it. Besides, the environment here is really good."

"Arong, what have you been busy with recently? Why do you always disappear?" Hu Junshi asked.

"What else can I do? Of course I'm busy with my factory. It's not as easy as yours. I have one or two thousand people to feed."

"Ah Rong, is this electronics factory you built so profitable? Otherwise, why would you have so many employees?"

"Brother Huo, if you have never been in the manufacturing industry, you don't understand. The bigger the scale, the more profitable it is. It depends on whether you have core technology. I can only make hard money here."

As the top second generation in Xiangjiang, these two people definitely don't pay special attention to what the people below like to play, so they don't know how popular arcades are now. They should just ask casually at this moment. Lei Yunrong doesn't want to be between the two of them.

There is nothing to show off in front of others, and besides, he still understands the principle of not showing off wealth, even though these two people are considered his good friends.

"By the way, isn't our plan ready? Is there anything else that needs to be discussed?" Lei Yunrong changed the subject.

"Junshi asked if our bidding price should be raised a little higher. After all, there are many companies participating in the competition this time."

Since Huo Zhenting approached Lei Yunrong last time to cooperate in the Shatin reclamation project, the two of them also immediately approached Mr. Hu Yingxiang.

Seeing that both of them were juniors, Mr. Hu couldn't bear to participate in it together. Instead, he called his eldest son Hu Junshi to represent Hehe Industrial to cooperate with the two. It happened that the three of them were familiar with each other.

In fact, Mr. Hu has used this project to train his successors like Mr. Huo did. As for Lei Yunrong, because it is profitable and can deepen the relationship with the two families, he is also happy to participate in it.

During this period, the three of them often met to formulate bidding plans, but Lei Yunrong had neglected it recently because he was busy with his own company.

"Didn't we discuss it? The bidding price is not the key. The key is the division of interests with the Hong Kong government after the reclamation is completed. The price of HK$24 million is not low."

Historically, a consortium of four major families headed by Li Chaoren successfully bid for just over 20 million. Almost no company participating in the bidding could not afford this price, so the price is not the key at all.

"I know, but if there is a company with a similar proportion of interest sharing to the Hong Kong government, the bid price is very critical. These are just small sums. If the company is not selected because of the low bid price, it will not be worth the loss."

"I think what Junshi said makes sense. How about we raise the price higher?"

Lei Yunrong thought for a while and said:

"No problem, how much do you think is appropriate?"

"Let's add another six million. Thirty million is safer," Huo Zhenting said.

"Okay, let's add another six million. If we still want to be a little safer, we can give the Hong Kong government a few more points in the final land division."

"We can't give in anymore. If we do, we won't make any money."

"Brother Huo, according to the current development speed of Xiangjiang, land prices will definitely skyrocket. There will definitely be some profit, but the return cycle is a bit long. If it is to make money, then we will not change. If it is not just for

If you make money, you can give up a few more points."

Hearing Lei Yunrong's words, Hu Junshi and Huo Zhenting looked at each other. Obviously, they participated in this project not just to make money.

Unlike Lei Yunrong, they were the only son in the family, and now they were in charge of the family business. They also had brothers, and they had to show their ability to satisfy their father.

"Okay, let's give in a few more points." Huo Zhenting continued.

Lei Yunrong then saw Hu Junshi nodding in agreement with a slight smile on his face, and he knew it would be like this.

While Lei Yunrong and the others were having final discussions at the Peninsula Hotel, Li Chaoren and the others were also at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to discuss tomorrow's bidding meeting.

"Old Li, it's time to see the outcome tomorrow. Is it necessary to continue the discussion now?" Shark Dantong asked.

Zheng Yutong has thick lips and sharp eyes. He looks a bit fierce, far from being as kind as he looks when he gets older.

"Old Zheng, this time Lei Yunrong from Kowloon Construction also participated in tomorrow's bidding. Don't underestimate him, this young man is very sharp."

"Is it just the three young people? You said that if Huo Yingdong or Hu Yingxiang were personally involved, I think we need to be cautious, but is it necessary to be so cautious with these juniors?"

"Old Zheng, this Lei Yunrong is indeed a very capable young man. I dealt with him once last year. Just after he heard the news about the former site of British American Tobacco Company from me, he dared to spend a lot of money to buy it.

This person is not lacking in decisiveness and courage, and he is also not lacking in financial resources, so I think just like Lao Li said, we still need to pay attention to this person." Guo Desheng continued.

Li Chaoren heard from the side that it was Guo Desheng who revealed the information to Lei Yunrong, the former site of the British American Tobacco Company, which he favored, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"I have never dealt with this person, but his method of acquiring Qingzhou Yingni is indeed not simple. Therefore, Lao Zheng had better be careful, lest he be defeated by a few young people and his face will be greatly embarrassed.

." Li Zhaoji said.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, what else needs to be done."

Zheng Yutong is actually not so arrogant. Since he can be as famous as Li Chaoren in future generations, it must not be simple. But he thinks that they have made complete preparations. Now, because a young boy is so cautious, there is a bit of trouble.

But now seeing that the other three people looked at this Lei Yunrong with admiration, Zheng Yutong had to become serious. At the same time, he was also a little curious about this Lei Yunrong, who actually got the approval of these people.

He knew very well that none of the three people sitting here were simple and had high vision.

"Lao Guo, what do you think?" Li Chaoren asked.

"Raise the price a bit, 20 million is a bit low. Sometimes the price is not important, but sometimes it is important."

"Since we want to ensure nothing is lost, we should simply be more courageous and give more land to the Hong Kong government."

Hearing what Li Zhaoji said, Zheng Yutong objected:

"That's not necessary. This concession is too big, and there won't be much profit."

Seeing that Li Chaoren was silent, several people looked at him, obviously wanting to see his opinion.

Li Chaoren pondered for a while and said firmly:

"The price will be raised to 30 million, and the Hong Kong government will be given a few points on the land division."

"Lao Li, are you crazy? Ten million is not a small amount. Besides, do we still need to give up profits?"

"Old Zheng, I know we have made other preparations, but don't place all your hopes on this. Our bidding plan is also a very important part."

"Listen to me first. Land prices in Hong Kong will definitely skyrocket in the future. Even if we give profits to the Hong Kong government, we will definitely still make money."

Seeing that the other two people agreed with Li Chaoren's view, Zheng Yutong had no choice but to agree.

Therefore, Lei Yunrong and Li Chaoren both made the same adjustment and raised the price to 30 million.

The next day, it was still at the Peninsula Hotel. The tender meeting organized by the Hong Kong government was also scheduled to be held here. After all, the Peninsula Hotel is also the most prestigious hotel in Hong Kong.

On this day, big bosses gathered together. In addition to Li Chaoren, Land President Bao Dafu, Dachang Real Estate Chen Detai, Wheelock Chairman John Madden, and the trio of Lei Yunrong, plus some other large and small

Real estate developers, this conference is organized by the Hong Kong government with great prestige.

After all, the land reclaimed this time is mainly used for low-rent housing and public facilities, so the Hong Kong government also wants to publicize this matter. This is a political achievement project.

Therefore, in addition to various real estate developers, many media reporters also came to the scene, making the venue packed to the brim.

Finally, Joe Thomas, Secretary of the Hong Kong Government's Housing, Planning and Lands Bureau, entered the scene and announced the start of the tender.

The outcome of this bidding will be decided in one round, which is why Li Chaoren and Huo Zhenting were so cautious last night.

The host first explained the situation of the project in detail, then boasted about the fairness of the bidding meeting, and finally asked representatives from all parties to submit bids.

The waiting time was always long, and Huo Zhenting was not as sophisticated as he was later, so he was a little impatient, but he kept twisting his body while sitting, making the chair squeak.

Lei Yunrong is relatively calm. Since the final result is no longer under his control, he can just wait quietly. In fact, he is not determined to win this project, and he did not spend too much thought in the process, so he can sit like this.

Stable.

However, Lei Yunrong feels that with their plan, the possibility of winning the bid is quite high.

But when the ideas are very good, the results are often unsatisfactory. In the end, the winning company announced by Joe Thomas was Black & Decker Real Estate Company established by Li Chaoren and other four people.

In other words, Lei Yunrong and the others lost the election.

"Fight on the street!"

Huo Zhenting couldn't help but curse. He was the most concerned about this matter, but in the end he failed.

Hu Junshi felt quite uneasy, but in the end he let out a long sigh.

Lei Yunrong frowned slightly, wondering if it was the inertia of history, but he never expected that these four people would win the bid in the end.

Finally, Joe Thomas announced the plan of Bader Real Estate Company. Lei Yunrong was a little surprised by the price of 30 million. Unexpectedly, they actually increased the price by nearly 10 million. They only received 27% of the land reclamation income, which was higher than Lei Yunrong's.

Yunrong’s 25.8% is 1.2% more.

It stands to reason that Lei Yunrong should have won the bid, but the Land Bureau only announced the winning bid, and no one else's. Lei Yunrong and the other three could not question it on the spot, so they had to leave first.

Lei Yunrong saw Bao Dafu of Landmark and John Madden of Wheelock leaving calmly. Apparently they had no objections.

Perhaps they were invited by the Hong Kong government to fill the scene, and they should not be interested in such a project with a long investment cycle.

After returning home, Lei Yunrong washed up and chatted with Lei Juehua for a while. When he was getting ready to go to bed, he suddenly received a call from Huo Zhenting. As soon as he answered the phone, Lei Yunrong heard his somewhat annoyed voice:
Chapter completed!
