Hou Brothers Group Headquarters, Wangjiang Building.
Since morning, reporters from all over the province and abroad have gathered here.
The Sanchu Morning News published a front-page report on the violation of bidding regulations in the land transfer in Yushan, Chujiang City, and the secret manipulation of the Hou Brothers Enterprise Group, which caused huge repercussions inside and outside the province.
The direct consequence of this reaction was that Hou's Enterprise Group was suddenly pushed to the forefront. At the same time, many companies such as Oulang Group and Chucheng Construction that participated in the competition for the Yushan project also received widespread attention.
Unfortunately, these companies closed their doors and refused to accept interviews.
The Chucheng City government began to act extremely tough on the news from the Sanchu Morning News, saying in response that the Chucheng Morning News reported completely disregarding the facts.
But then the Chucheng Morning News responded that the 800 acres of land in Yushan next to the Yushan Hot Spring Villa had been purchased by Hou's Enterprise Group, and they had enough evidence to confirm this news.
After the Chucheng Morning News responded, the Chucheng government fell into silence, and this silence would naturally be considered by the media as acquiescence.
Soon, all walks of life in Chucheng also showed strong emotions about this matter. The CPPCC in Chucheng City held a symposium. Some senior comrades of the CPPCC expressed doubts about the illegal practices of the government and said that the problem should be investigated immediately.
Give the public an explanation.
At this time, we were in Hou Guanzhong’s office at Hou’s Enterprise in Wangyue Building.
Hou Guanzhong was like an ant in a hot nest, restless.
The Sanchu Morning News report caught him off guard. He really didn't understand why these reporters were so powerful. They were so pervasive.
He had just reached a trade agreement and signed a contract with Chucheng, and now such accurate reports came out immediately. How did they get the news?
It has to be said that this news made him very passive, because it may mean that Chujiang government will not be able to withstand the pressure, will void the contract, and then start bidding again.
In that case, the Hou family, which has relatively thin funds, will not have any advantage at all and will most likely not be able to get this land.
When encountering such a problem, Hou Guanzhong's first thought was that his competitors were causing trouble. He thought of Oulang and Chucheng Construction. But the current situation happened so suddenly. How could he think clearly?
In this way, he has been wandering around the office all morning alone.
"Bang!" The door was pushed open.
Hou Lin hurriedly came in from the outside. Hou Guanzhong was stunned, quickly took a few steps forward, and blurted out: "Hou Lin, how are you? Have you sent the money?"
Hou Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand and said: "Time is too urgent and it is impossible to raise 800 million. At present, I have mobilized all the company's working capital. In addition, President Li of China Construction Bank is very generous and promised to give him first
We have two hundred million to help.
I have called a total of 400 million, which is already the limit!"
"Okay, okay! Four hundred million is enough! Let's secure these eight hundred acres of land first. If we can get the rest, we can take it. If we can't get it, we can develop this piece of land and make a lot of money!"
Hou Guanzhong touched his heart, sat down on the sofa, and said: "This matter is done, I feel relieved!"
Hou Lin came to his side and said, "Brother, is this okay? Wouldn't this bring trouble to Chucheng?"
Hou Guanzhong stared at Hou Lin and said: "You are naive! We have another contract, and the contract has been paid, which means that the contract is fully effective. As for Chucheng's affairs, Lei Mingfeng is responsible. He can solve his troubles by himself. What does it have to do with us?
?
We paid real money to buy the land, but I don't believe they dare to disregard the interests of investors and propose to cancel the contract.
Even if the contract is revoked, we can win the lawsuit and reap the benefits when the time comes."
Hou Guanzhong paused and said: "Hou Lin, please immediately arrange for someone to check. Where did the Sanchu Morning News get the news? So quickly, our contract almost went to waste!"
Hou Guanzhong gradually regained his composure, took a piece of fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, then closed his eyes and meditated.
Once the contract is signed and paid, the matter is finalized.
He is not afraid that the Chujiang City government will default on his debt, because this is an established fact. How can they default on it? How dare they default on it?
As for the media reports, they are only temporary, and they are only popular for three minutes.
If Chucheng's Lei Mingfeng couldn't solve a problem like this, he wouldn't be able to be the municipal party secretary.
Suddenly, he frowned and looked at Hou Lin and said: "Hou Lin, do you think it was Chen Jing from Jingjiang who did it? Most people don't have the energy to get the news so quickly, so only he can do it!"
Hou Lin shook his head and said, "No, what's the benefit of this to him? He doesn't even care about this project anymore. Is it just to cause damage and spend such a high price?"
Hou Guanzhong nodded, agreeing with Hou Lin's statement.
Chen Jing really had no motive to do this.
Hou Lin thought for a while and said: "Brother, I think we have gone too far this time, especially with the incident in Langzhou. There is no need for us to help Lei Mingfeng wave the flag. He and Chen Jing have conflicts, so we will follow suit."
And what?”
"What's wrong? Why do you think you have so little success? Are you so afraid of Chen Jing? How many times have I told you that you are no longer the playboy who only knows everything about everything.
Son, you are now the boss of Hou Group.
You are worth over 100 million and have successfully joined the upper class. As an investor, you are the key target of protection.
What can Chen Jing do to you? What does he dare to do to you?" Hou Guanzhong said coldly.
He waved his hand and said: "Hou Lin, anything you do in this world requires a price. If we get benefits from Lei Mingfeng, we must repay others. Looking at the current situation, Lei Mingfeng is sure to take Jingjiang.
It's better this way. Isn't it great that we brothers can make a fortune in the middle?
Chen Jing doesn’t have three heads and six arms, he can’t eat you, don’t worry, this matter will be fine!”
Hou Lin took a deep breath and said, "I hope so. I feel empty and have no confidence!"
Hou Guanzhong frowned and glared at Hou Lin. He then changed the subject and said, "By the way, brother, you have been chasing Wan Hai's Shen Menglan very closely recently. Do you have any clues?"
Hou Lin was stunned, spread his hands and said: "What can I know? This woman is smarter than a ghost, it's not easy to get started!"
Hou Guanzhong smiled faintly and said: "This kind of woman is valuable. Wanhai Group is very strong, and we can't compare with him. Don't worry, as long as we complete this project, Hou Group will definitely be famous throughout the province. By then,
Our worth has doubled, and your confidence will be enough.
Women are all in the same mood. If a man is capable, women will naturally like him. This is the root cause!"
He chuckled and said: "Of course, you can't relax now, maintain a high-pressure posture towards her, and strictly prohibit other people from being around her. If you can handle this matter, I think you can consider getting married. She is already at this age.
, it’s time for a married woman!”
As he spoke, he looked at Hou Lin with squinted eyes and said with a smile: "Oh, it looks like he is blushing. Real feelings? A playboy showing real affection is like a prodigal son turning back. It's amazing!"
"Okay, brother, stop teasing me. There are a lot of reporters downstairs! Now is not the time to talk about this!" Hou Lin said calmly.
Hou Guanzhong stretched and said to the secretary outside: "Turn off my mobile phone. No matter who calls, they will say that I am not here. No one will answer the call at this time! Let the people in Chucheng go to work.
Let’s rest…”
…
Dongtang Golf Club.
Lei Mingfeng, wearing a sun hat and casual clothes, hit a beautiful golf ball with his swing.
People around him applauded, and he put his hands on his forehead, staring at the ball's landing point, with a happy smile on his face.
Suddenly, the applause stopped abruptly.
Lei Mingfeng's expression changed. A hundred meters away, the little white dot fell into the water with a "plop" and disappeared.
Lei Mingfeng's face couldn't help but turn red, and he mocked himself, pretending to be magnanimous: "I haven't had a fight for a long time, and my hand is raw. Today I just have fun with a few of your financial bosses. I don't usually have time!"
The people around him immediately changed their conversation and began to say compliments such as the secretary, who had a lot to do all day long and was working very hard, and it would be nice to relax while playing today.
And soon, Lei Mingfeng regained his previous energy, and he looked full of leadership.
At this moment, Jing Guoqing, secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee, ran over in a crisp suit and whispered a few words into Lei Mingfeng's ear.
Lei Mingfeng frowned and said to the people around him: "Boss, please play for a while, I'll talk to Lao Jing about something, and Mashan will come over!"
The two of them walked to the edge of the lawn. Lei Mingfeng's face turned ugly and he said: "Old Jing, this is such a big deal, do you need to rush it in such a hurry? Isn't it just a piece of news with a few reporters making noise? You
Can’t we just let Mayor Jiang handle it?”
Jing Guoqing said sarcastically: "Secretary, Mayor Xiaoyan asked me to tell you. She said this matter is very troublesome, and the provincial party committee leader has already called to ask. If we..."
Lei Mingfeng pondered for a moment, and after a long time, he shook his hand and said: "Then contact the Hou family and cancel the contract first. Explain to them seriously that this matter has been exposed by the media and requires a new bidding. There will be benefits for them in the future.
,Tell them not to complain!"
Jing Guoqing said: "That's the problem, Secretary. Just this morning, the Hou family has paid the money to buy the land into the government account. They have paid all the 400 million for the first phase of the contract!"
Lei Mingfeng's expression changed, and he said: "What? The money came over? Who asked them to do this? Isn't this a trick to the government?"
Lei Mingfeng's face instantly turned ugly, and he snorted and continued: "These Hou brothers have really taken over the role of their father, Hou Jie. They like to engage in such unilateral actions and never negotiate with the other party.
Isn’t it nonsense to only care about yourself and not care about others?”
"Go back, go back, all my interest has been wiped out!" Lei Mingfeng said coldly, and walked away. Jing Guoqing was stunned for a long time, and then he followed up...
