Chapter 604 A lot of money
Zhou Xiang and Yang Han next to them were a little puzzled. They had never heard of this Hanhai Group before. It seemed to be a newly established company.
As for this man named Cheng Hua, they didn't know him at all. However, judging from the young man in the newspaper, he should be about the same age as Su Yang, or at most a few years older. Is this young man so amazing now?
Su Yang turned around and looked at Zhou Xiang: "Please, Mr. Zhou, help me find a team to prepare the bid, and then contact Jiangcheng Daily and tell them that Songjiang Construction Engineering also wants to participate in the bidding. Not only do we want to build a landmark building in Jiangcheng, we also want to build a national landmark building."
Zhou Xiang swallowed.
"No, Mr. Su, with the little money we have in our account, how can we possibly participate?"
"The new department store will definitely have to rival Huarong Plaza, which is worth at least 700 to 800 million yuan. With this little money, I'm afraid we'll go bankrupt before we can even get the money back."
"Except for bank loans, we at Songjiang Construction have no assets at all."
"It would be a blessing to be able to borrow tens of millions through credit loans..."
Su Yang smiled and said: "Whether it can be accomplished or not is another matter. At least, what matters is that we participate!"
"If I let them complete Hanhai Group's first project, wouldn't that make us look incompetent?"
"Isn't it a provocation that Cheng Hua is promoting it so loudly?"
"This child has never been beaten by society. I will teach him a lesson on behalf of his mother. Maybe he will thank me."
The more Zhou Xiang listened, the more confused he became. However, he finally understood that Su Yang had no intention of taking over the department store project. He just wanted to disgust the Hanhai Group. But the other party paid real money. How could Songjiang Construction, an empty shell, stop them from winning the bid?
The more Zhou Xiang thought about it, the more confused he became. However, over the past few days, he also figured out that there was an information gap between the information he could receive and that of Su Yang.
He simply did whatever Su Yang said. No matter what happened, he was just following Su Yang's instructions and there was nothing wrong with it.
If something really goes wrong, can Su Yang still blame him?
Su Yang turned around and looked at Yang Han: "Director Yang, I remember that there is a land auction in the city at the end of this month. I would like to trouble you to sign up in the name of Songjiang Construction. It is for the same purpose. Even if we fail to win the bid for the land, it is enough to disgust Hanhai Group."
Yang Han nodded. He also wondered how deep the hatred between Su Yang and Cheng Hua was that he would go to such great lengths to disgust the other party.
Su Yang was standing next to the construction site, holding a newspaper in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, but he was also recalling the joke that happened in the reconstruction of Jiangcheng Department Store in his previous life. Originally, this piece of land was located in the city center, opposite Huarong Plaza, and was a popular spot for many real estate companies.
When the department store was first built in the last century, it was indeed very popular for a while. It had a wide variety of merchandise and indeed became a landmark building in Jiangcheng City.
However, with the development of the times, the department store, which is only a dozen stories high, has gradually been covered by the high-rise buildings rising from the ground nearby. Although it occupies a large area, its outdated design and dilapidated exterior walls are obviously lagging behind the times.
The opening of Huarong Plaza was the last straw that broke the camel's back for the department store.
After that, the deserted department store chose to close down and cease operations. The Ronghua Group behind it also began to move on to other projects, but unfortunately the returns were scant. It was not until a few years later, when housing prices and land prices near the department store soared, that they began to consider redeveloping the department store.
Originally, Si Xuezhong intended to acquire this piece of land. Although it is indeed a bit of a waste to open two shopping malls in the same area, if the department store can be converted into Block B of Huarong Plaza, and the original Huarong Plaza can be turned into Block A, it will not be difficult to attract a large number of merchants by relying on the name of Huarong Plaza.
However, Song Qianqiu, chairman of Ronghua Group, felt that the department store went bankrupt because of Si Xuezhong’s Huarong Plaza. If he sold the land of the department store to Si Xuezhong, wouldn’t that be admitting defeat completely?
But if he rejected Si Xuezhong, he would not be able to find a suitable real estate company in Jiangcheng City to form a joint venture for development.
So they simply held a bidding. Song Qianqiu's idea was very simple. Either the highest bidder wins and he sells the department store at a price higher than the market price offered by the Si Group, or he provides the land and the other party builds a shopping mall, and they share the profits to earn long-term benefits.
The situation of the bidding in the previous life was similar to what Song Qianqiu had expected. The bid from Si Group was indeed not high, but the profit sharing was attractive.
Several other companies that were eligible to participate in the bidding offered higher prices than the Si Group, but they wanted to buy the land in one go without giving any money to the Ronghua Group.
In the eyes of normal people, Song Qianqiu should choose one of these companies, whether it is a one-time transfer or a joint venture and profit sharing.
But the final result was shocking, because Song Qianqiu neither chose Si Group nor any other company, but chose a new company that had a mediocre bid, no operating experience, and had been established for less than two years.
The truth behind this lucky company was not revealed until half a year later, because the boss of this company was Song Chen, the son of Song Qianqiu, the chairman of Ronghua Group.
The father and son had no intention of selling the department store at all, and even the joint venture investment was a cover.
They used the name of a bidding meeting to completely hype up the land for the department store. After Song Chen won the land, he spread the word that Si Group offered 300 million yuan, but they didn't sell it. If you don't believe me, you should believe in Si Xuezhong's vision. So he successfully got a loan from the bank.
Not only that, they also changed the original design drawings, turning the bottom five floors into a shopping mall, and the upper parts into commercial residences, including offices and apartments, and then spread advertisements all over the city.
After obtaining the pre-sale certificate, not only did they hype up the shopping mall they were going to build, they also boasted about being neighbors with the Huarong Plaza of the Si Group. They even directly shouted out the slogan of Jiangcheng CBD, saying that they wanted to build the tallest building in Jiangcheng!
By the time the project was completed three years later, Song Chen and Song Qianqiu had already recovered their costs through the offices and apartments upstairs, and the five-story shopping mall downstairs was still making a steady profit.
Although this series of operations offended the entire real estate industry in Jiangcheng City, he made a fortune.
Those companies that had gone to great lengths to participate in the bidding, formulate profit-sharing plans, and publicize their plans to acquire the department store site were all disgusted.
However, the only thing that worries Su Yang is that if that big fool Cheng Hua really offers a price that is several tens of percent higher than the price that Ronghua Group is willing to pay, what if Song Qianqiu and Song Chen are tempted and the department store land really falls into his hands?
