Kowloon Bay, Telford Plaza, MTR headquarters!

  In the conference room, MTR Corporation CEO Respemberton sits at the top, the directors of the MTR Corporation sit on the left, and the senior management of the MTR Corporation sit on the right.

   "Okay, everyone, the major real estate companies in Xiangjiang have already submitted their bids, let's start discussing now!"

Following Lispemberton's order, everyone in the conference room held the tenders of the major real estate companies in Xiangjiang and discussed with the people around them in a low voice. Obviously, each had their own ideas, and the names of various companies It is in their best interest to speak out from their mouths and discuss the company's plan.

Faced with such a situation, Lispemberton sat in his seat and did not express his opinion. This is the first time that the MTR Corporation has discussed the bidding plans of these companies. There must be no results in the discussion. .

  The discussion this time is to delineate a range among these existing companies and let companies outside this range be eliminated.

   Even so, this discussion lasted for a whole morning.

   But the results still exist. There are more than 30 real estate companies bidding, and only ten are left at this time!

  Looking at these ten companies, Lispemberton said: "Ona, these companies are no longer within the scope of our discussion, please inform me!"

  Aona, currently the manager of the Station Department of the MTR Corporation, nodded and said: "Okay."

"The remaining ten companies need to be discussed carefully within these three days. I hope everyone can clearly understand that for this bidding, we must not only consider the size of the bidding company, bidding price, architectural style, etc. At the same time, we also need to consider the situation of our company itself. I think everyone knows the current financial situation of the company, and this is also an important standard for our reference!"

  After Lispemberton finished speaking, some people turned their attention to Changshi and Chalu Real Estate, which remained among the ten companies.

   These two companies can be said to be the most in line with the interests of their MTR companies. Both companies have guaranteed that their projects will be completed on the day when the subway will be opened next year.

   And this is the fastest speed, which is a good start for the subway colleagues, and can also greatly ease the company's financial situation.

  All the operations of the MTR Corporation now rely on the appropriations from the Financial Secretary and loans from HSBC.

   Don't see the money back, these people should go crazy.

  After the meeting, Lispemberton left the MTR with the ten documents of the real estate company and came to the financial secretary of the Hong Kong government.

   "The first round of screening is over, here are the remaining ten companies!"

   Lispemberton put the materials in his hands on Sir Xia Dingji's table.

  Sir Xia Dingji picked it up and glanced at it casually, then looked up at Lispemberton, and said calmly, "Where is the Zhulu Real Estate?"

Lispemberton said calmly: "The bidding document for Zhulu Real Estate is very perfect and fully in line with the interests of the MTR Corporation. If it is deleted in the first round, it will cause bad reactions in Xiangjiang. .”

  Xia Dingji didn't answer, but just looked down at the bidding document of Zhulu Real Estate.

  The content of the bidding document is very clear. Xia Dingji only read it for a while before he knew the general situation, and said with a smile: "You are doing the right thing."

However, after a pause, Xia Dingji said to Lispemberton with a serious expression: "But Reece, I hope you can understand that this bidding activity is very important to our Financial Secretary, the MTR Corporation and Hong Kong For the British consortium, it is a very important thing, I have already told you the meaning of it, so don't I need to repeat it to you again?"

   Lispemberton raised his eyebrows slightly, but such dissatisfaction was fleeting, and he said with a smile: "Understood."

   "Okay, I have some other things here, you can go back first!" Xia Dingji sat there and waved his hands.

   Lispemberton left Xia Dingji's office.

   It was just surprising that Lispemberton, who left Xia Dingji's office, did not get into his own car, but got into a silver Mercedes.

   Sitting in the back seat of the car is He Bingguang, the general manager of Zhulu Real Estate.

   "Rees, my friend, I can tell from your expression that you didn't get the respect you deserve from Sir Xia Dingji!"

  He Bingguang took out a glass of whiskey at just the right temperature from the car refrigerator and handed it to Lispemberton.

  Rispemberton took the whiskey in He Bingguang's hand, and said calmly: "It was already expected, so there is nothing to be unhappy about."

Xia Dingji and Lispemberton have a long history of discord. At the beginning of the establishment of the Hong Kong MTR Corporation, Xia Dingji wanted his friend to take over the MTR Corporation. Unfortunately, after Governor MacLehose and the Financial Secretary , after the joint meeting of the Chief Secretary, the position of CEO of the MTR Corporation was finally given to Lispemberton, who has a deeper background in England.

   It's not that Lispemberton's background in England is deeper than that of Xia Dingji, it's just that both the Hong Kong government and the British government actually need a balance.

  Balance the interests of all parties in Xiangjiang.

  He Bingguang sat in the car with his legs crossed, and there was a bit of traffic outside the car, "Then, can the cooperation between our two companies be put on the agenda?"

  At this time, He Bingguang was both grateful and ashamed.

Fortunately, his boss is Chu Huan, who has already helped him solve a large part of the obstacles, and it is the same for him to be ashamed, because their boss is too capable, which makes it seem that his side is too dry. that's it.

   As for the property development right above Central Station and Admiralty Station of the subway station, they will definitely not be able to follow the path of the Financial Secretary, and they will even be targeted by the other party.

  Everyone thinks that their company is hopeless this time, even the general manager of Zhulu Real Estate thinks that it will be very difficult to get this project unless a miracle happens.

  But his boss, Chu Huan, created a miracle for him in this way, and even won the support of Lispemberton, the CEO of the MTR Corporation, for the company.

   This made He Bingguang not only shocked, but also marveled at his boss' connections.

"Now is not the time!" Lispemberton also had doubts in his heart. The cooperation with Chu Huan was not just because the two of them had met before, nor was it because the plan of Zhulu Real Estate was the most in line with the interests of the MTR Corporation. scheme.

   More importantly, Chu Huan actually met his friend Tam Sinkang in England.

  Tam Sincom, an important member of the British Conservative Party, has a very high prestige in England and is also Lispemberton's biggest supporter.

   "Now Xia Dingji has been paying attention to this matter. If the announcement is made now, the other party will definitely obstruct it a lot, so I think we should wait a little longer. Besides, hasn't Director Chu also contacted other people?

   At that time, we will work together to catch Xia Dingji off guard is the best way! "

   Lispemberton explained to He Bingguang.

  He Bingguang just pondered for a while, and then said: "I am a little anxious, and this matter will be carried out according to your idea!"

Lispemberton reminded: "Mr. He, although Director Chu has obtained the consent of most of the directors of the MTR Corporation on this matter, it is impossible to say that this matter has already been settled, so we don't care about it within these three days. Whether it's Mr. He or Mr. Chu, I think they should have some actions of their own!"

  He Bingguang smiled and said: "Reese, you can rest assured, I will pay attention to it!"

Now Chu Huan has not only opened a way for him to come out, but has even paved the road with cement to become a highway. If there are still problems on his side, no need for Chu Huan to say anything, he should hand in his resignation Believe it.

  After sending Lispemberton back to the MTR company, He Bingguang also returned to the Chinese Bank, came to Chu Huan's office, and told Chu Huan the conversation between him and Lispemberton.

After Chu Huan finished listening, he just nodded slightly. Just as He Bingguang thought, now Chu Huan has paved all the roads for He Bingguang, and Chu Huan has completely let go of the rest. Handed over to He Bingguang.

   "Do according to your ideas, I will not participate in the next thing, success or failure is up to you!"

  He Bingguang didn’t promise anything to Chu Huan this time. It’s useless to talk too much. He just said calmly: “Yes!”

Then Chu Huan handed He Bingguang a list and said: "This is the British directors and senior management who have chosen to stand on our side by the MTR Corporation. All you have to do is to contact those Chinese directors and senior management. Already!"

  He Bingguang gratefully accepted the list from Chu Huan, "Thank you, Chairman."

  How did the relationship behind Lispemberton come about?

   Naturally, it is Ma Jizu's credit.

   Ma Jizu has been in England for nearly two years. If he can’t even handle this, the annual public relations fee of 30 million US dollars will really be fed to the dogs.

.

   "Has there been any response from the MTR Corporation?"

  In Changshi's headquarters, Li Jiacheng asked Sheng Songsheng.

Sheng Songsheng looked at Li Jiacheng's calm expression, and sincerely admired it in his heart. After going through that difficult period, the result of the discussion between Li Jiacheng and the others was that Changshi's future development will be mainly commercial buildings, supplemented by residential buildings development strategy.

  So it is very important for Cheung Kong for MTR Corporation to invite bids for the property development rights above Central Station and Admiralty Station.

  In addition, Changshi's reputation in the Xiangjiang business community was also affected by this because of his repeated competition with Chu Huan, which was not very good.

  So they urgently need a project to prove their chance.

But now under such circumstances, Li Jiacheng is still calm as before, and has not shown any anxiety because of the importance of this matter. Such a strong psychological quality is not something ordinary people can possess, and this is what makes Sheng Songsheng, Zhou Qian and The reason why they were convinced by Li Jiacheng.

   "Just got the news that we have entered the second round of screening, and we will announce the third round of screening tomorrow morning."

Li Jiacheng nodded. At this time, he was not pretending to be calm, but really calm. After repeated battles with Chu Huan, Li Jiacheng's psychological quality had already been tempered. of.

  Sometimes I think about it, I can have such a psychological quality now, and I have to thank Chu Huan for tempering me before.

  However, Li Jiacheng is sure that if he had a choice, he would not want to do this. The previous failure was too **** memorable.

   "How is the contact with the MTR company?" Li Jiacheng asked calmly.

  Sheng Songsheng said: "I have contacted several directors, and they are very interested in our proposal, but they also told me veiledly before that it will be very difficult to win the bid this time."

Difficulties are certain. At this time, Li Jiacheng actually misses Shen Bi very much. If Shen Bi is the head of HSBC at this time, then they are actually standing on the same starting line as Hongkong Land. There is no such thing as a Chinese-funded consortium or A British consortium said.

  Unfortunately, Shen Bi is still seeking development in Japan.

   "Help me contact Financial Secretary Xia Dingji. Although he is clearly on the side of Landmark, no matter what, he will always give it a try."

  Li Jiacheng pondered for a moment and preached.

  Sheng Songsheng asked with some doubts: "What about Lispemberton of MTR?"

  Before this, Cheung Kong's main contact person was Lispemberton of the MTR Corporation.

Li Jiacheng said with some disappointment: "I have already met Lispemberton, and this person has clearly rejected my suggestion, and I found out that although this person has some relationship in England, he also has some differences with Xia Dingji, But on this kind of matter, I don't think Lispemberton will openly tear himself apart with Xia Dingji!"

  Sheng Songsheng said helplessly: "If we can have Lispemberton's support, then our chances of winning will be high."

Li Jiacheng waved his hand and said: "Don't think about such an impossible thing. In addition, you have to contact other newspapers in Xiangjiang except "Zhenbao" and "Daily Daily" to let them report more on our plan. We have done enough, as long as the public opinion is on our side, both Xia Dingji and the MTR Corporation need to consider us better."

  Sheng Song nodded and said: "Okay, I will do this now!"

  After Sheng Songsheng left his office, Li Jiacheng sat there and fell into deep thought, not only thinking about the development rights of the properties above Central Station and Admiralty Station, but also the future development of Changshi.

Judging from the current situation, if Changshi wants to have long-term development, it is inevitable to compete with Chu Huan's company. As far as this competition is concerned, Li Jiacheng really never thought about competing with Chu Huan's company. Chu Huan faced each other, but the actual situation was not like this.

  Generally speaking, Xiangjiang is still too small, and it is difficult for people to fully use it. Therefore, if you want to really bring Changshi to the expressway, you must avoid competition with Chu Huan's company.

  But as I said just now, this possibility is very small. Since this kind of result is unavoidable, we can only find another way.

  Thinking of this, Li Jiacheng sat on his chair and looked at the phone on the table. He was silent for a long time, and finally picked up the phone on the table helplessly.

.

   "Boss, Li Jiacheng, who has just grown up, called and said that he hopes to meet you in the next two days!"

  Wu Shuhan walked into Chu Huan's office and told Chu Huan the call he had just received.

"Li Jiacheng?" Chu Huan was a little dazed. Since the last time the two sides met on the Hefu Group, they have never met again, but they never thought that Li Jiacheng would want to meet him at this time. .

   "Did you say what happened?" Chu Huan asked Wu Shuhan.

  Wu Shuhan shook his head and said, "No, I just asked the boss when you have time these days."

   "So it's not about this bidding!" Chu Huan said to himself.

  Wu Shuhan tilted his head, and said curiously: "Our company has no business relationship with Changshi, why would the other party want to see you at this time?"

Seeing Wu Shuhan's slightly confused look, Chu Huan's heart moved. It's really been a long time since she took in a girl, and Wu Shuhan will be in charge of the business of her hometown in the future. The most important thing is that Wu Shuhan is beautiful what!

Wu Shuhan saw that after he finished speaking, he did not get any response from Chu Huan. He looked up at Chu Huan, and found that Chu Huan was staring at him intently. The unabashed look in his eyes made Wu Shuhan's heart skip a beat, and he hurriedly said road.

   "Well, boss, I have something to do, so I'll go out first!"

   After finishing speaking, Wu Shuhan turned around and wanted to leave.

   "Wait a minute!" Chu Huan laughed softly.

  Wu Shuhan turned back with a complicated smile and said, "Boss, do you have any other orders?"

  Chu Huan smiled and said: "Don't you want to know why Li Jiacheng wants to see me? You just called him back and said that I have time to meet him tonight, and you will come with me then!"

  Wu Shuhan blushed slightly, but in the end she still did not reject Chu Huan, bit her lips and said, "Got it!"

   Then Wu Shuhan returned to his office with a flushed face.

  According to the status of Xu Yi and Wu Shuhan, both of them can have their own offices on the top floor of the Chinese Building, but for the convenience of work, they are still in the same office.

  Xu Guan, who was dealing with the work at hand, saw Wu Shuhan's face flushed back, and immediately showed a knowing smile, and teased Wu Shuhan, "Should I call home and tell them that you won't be going back tonight?"

  Wu Shuhan, who was always running around like a deer, heard Xu Yi say this, his face turned redder instantly, and he whispered: "Sister Xu, what are you talking about?"

Xu Yi turned the black carbon pen in his hand, said with a smile: "What did I say, why don't I remember, I just remember what I told you when you first came, our boss's Your vision is very high, but your conditions are obviously in line with our boss's criteria for choosing a spouse."

  Wu Shuhan became more and more shy, and said: "Sister Xu, I really have nothing to do with the boss!"

  Xu Yi nodded and said: "I believe this, otherwise, you would not have walked back like this at this time."

   Facing Xu Yi's tiger-wolf words, Wu Shuhan was more and more at a loss as to how to respond.

Xu suggested that Wu Shuhan stopped talking, smiled more happily, and said: "That is to say, the boss and I are not the same as each other, otherwise, I would have been with the boss a long time ago. I believe that the **** boss is also Definitely won't say no."

  Wu Shuhan heard Xu Yi talking about himself at this time, so he dared to speak: "Sister Xu, why can you and the boss maintain such a good relationship between you two?"

  Xu Yi bit her carbon pen and said: "Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

   "What is the truth? What is the lie?"

   "The lie is what I just said. The boss and I don't call each other. There is no such possibility!" Xu Yi said indifferently.

  Wu Shuhan asked curiously: "What about the truth?"

Xu Yi showed melancholy, stood up from her seat, came to Wu Shuhan, straightened Wu Shuhan, then stood beside Wu Shuhan, pointed to her face, mountain peak, and long legs, and said in disappointment road.

   "The truth is, our boss's vision is too high, there is no way for someone like me to compare with someone like you!"

   "So, you like our boss too?" Wu Shuhan asked subconsciously.

  Xu Yi restrained the disappointment on her face, and showed a smug smile: "You said the word 'also' very well!"

   "I, I didn't mean that!" Wu Shuhan hurriedly explained.

Xu Yi sat directly on Wu Shuhan's table, shaking her legs and said: "Out of ten girls in Xiangjiang, eight girls like our boss. They are rich, handsome, and know how to love women. May I ask what kind of girl you are?" Girls don't like boys like this, but I happen to be one of those two. To put it bluntly, I am too familiar with the boss. Think about it, if the two of us are together, the boss will be so mad You have a poisonous tongue that doesn't pay for your life, and you don't have to talk about the embarrassing things about my dating days in my ears every day."

   "No, I think the boss is pretty good, he has never been venomous!" Wu Shuhan said suspiciously, she really hadn't heard Chu Huan say too many venomous tongues.

Xu Yi pouted, "Cut, that's because the boss is keeping a good image in front of you." Speaking of this, Xu Yi said angrily: "Let me tell you, when I broke up with that bad man last year, The boss even specially wrote a song for me, what else is it called "Happy Breakup", not only wrote it, but also asked Gu Xiaomei from Youyu Records to include it in her latest album.

   Just say, is our boss bad? "

"Ah!" Wu Shuhan was stunned, and couldn't help but said: "This song was written by the boss, I also said, why the lyrics and composition of that song are all unfamiliar names, and they didn't survive in Xiangjiang Woolen cloth!"

  Xu Yi chuckled and said, "But to be honest, that song is quite nice, but the boss is too bad!"

As for the relationship between Chu Huan and Wu Shuhan, no matter what it is, Xu Yi doesn't care. One is because Xu Yi's character is like this. At the same time, she also understands that no one can replace her job. At work, she was deeply bound to Chu Huan.

  Secondly, Xu Yi also understands Chu Huan's arrangement for Wu Shuhan. Wu Shuhan will go to his hometown to guard the country for his boss in the future, so Xiangjiang has to be himself.

  Since competition cannot be formed, there is no need to have the same set in the workplace.

   "What are you two talking about?" Chu Huan suddenly came to their office at this time.

Seeing Chu Huan coming in, Xu Yi hurriedly jumped off Wu Shuhan's desk, and then said with a flattering smile: "I didn't say anything, I was praising you, the boss, and Shu Han and I thought it was wrong that you were Xiangjiang, the boss of the world. The best boss, the most handsome boss!"

  Wu Shuhan looked at Xu Yi in surprise, she realized that she still underestimated Xu Yi, this person is simply a chameleon.

"Hehe, do you think I will believe what you said?" Chu Huan looked at Xu Yi with a half-smile. Chu Huan really knows Xu Yi very well. This person can be said to be improving a little bit in terms of ability. , but in terms of character, it is still the kind of unscrupulous temperament.

  Sometimes, Chu Huan regretted it very much. Why did he choose Xu Yi to be his full-time secretary?

   "You must believe it, Boss, I am your most loyal and reliable little secretary with a gold medal. Let's talk about it. Boss, is there any thing that I didn't do beautifully!"

  Xu Yi hurriedly preached.

  Chu Huan smiled disdainfully, and said: "Well, since you said so, I happen to have something I want to entrust to you to do!"

  Xu Yi stood up straight, and said seriously: "Boss, tell me, as long as it is what you ordered, I promise to execute it perfectly!"

   "No dating for two years!"

  Chu Huan preached easily.

  Xu Yi's expression collapsed in an instant, and he said: "Boss, have you seen that window? If you don't take back the order just now, I will jump from there."

Chu Huan glanced at Xu Yi speechlessly, and said: "Don't be ridiculous, I came here to tell you, prepare dinner, and meet Li Jiacheng tonight, I will definitely not eat anything, I don't want to wrong my stomach, You two do whatever you want!"

"Hey!" Xu Yi slowly retreated to his desk, took his bag, and said, "The boss, I have an appointment tonight, my mother told me, she helped me contact a Handsome guy, tall at 1.8 meters, I will definitely not dare to disobey the orders of my mother, so I will let Shu Han show you her cooking skills tonight."

   After Xu Yi finished speaking, she turned around and slipped away.

  Chu Huan watched Xu Yi leave, and said to Wu Shuhan: "I can't learn from Xu Yi in the future, the capacity in my head is taken up by dating."

"Ok!"

  Wu Shuhan lowered his head and spoke softly.

  Chu Huan didn't care either, and turned back to his office.

Wu Shuhan first called Li Jiacheng and told him that Chu Huan had time to meet him tonight. After Wu Shuhan made an appointment to hang up the phone, he looked at the phone on his desk and fell into deep thought. After a long time, Wu Shuhan took the Picked up the phone and dialed a number.

   Said softly with a flushed face: "Sister, I may not go back tonight!"
