"why?"

  Xia Dingji ruthlessly threw the materials in his hand onto the table, and then stared closely at Lispemberton in front of him!

   Just at noon today, Xia Dingji received the last three shortlisted companies from the MTR company.

  Landmark, Cheung Kong, and Xia Dingji's last real estate competitor!

  So Xia Dingji immediately called Lispemberton and asked him to rush to his office as soon as possible.

  Rispemberton didn't delay, just as Xia Dingji hoped, he came to Xia Dingji's office at the first time, so there was a scene in front of him.

   "Pemberton, I need an explanation. Could it be that what I told you before was not clear enough? Why did Chu Huan's Zhulu Real Estate still appear in the final shortlist?"

   Xia Dingji gasped and looked at Lispemberton. He couldn't accept the current result.

Lispemberton stood in front of Xia Dingji, and said calmly: "Director, we have followed the procedures. The bidding plan for Zhulu Real Estate has won unanimous praise in the internal meeting of the MTR Corporation. Now Now the external evaluation of their plan is also the second highest, second only to Li Jiacheng's Changshi, if we don't put Zhulu Real Estate on the final list, I think you should know the consequences, Mr. Secretary.

  Excuse me, when the people in Hong Kong question whether our MTR Corporation operates in the dark, can Mr. Secretary come forward to clarify for us? "

   Speaking of the last moment, Lispemberton hit Xia Dingji with a counterattack.

  How could Xia Dingji help the MTR company to clarify, isn't there no silver three hundred taels here?

   "Hehe, I asked why Chu Huan was so calm. It turned out that you chose to stand on their side!" After experiencing anger, Xia Dingji calmed down instead.

  At the beginning, I told Xia Dingji very clearly about Zhulu Real Estate, but now Lispemberton still put Chu Huan's Zhulu Real Estate in the list of the last three finalists. Doesn't this explain the problem?

Lispemberton said calmly: "I don't know what you mean, Mr. Secretary, but I understand that if you really don't put Zhulu Real Estate on the final list, it will cause huge social effects. And now it's just the final shortlist, not the winning bid list. I really don't understand why you are so angry, Mr. Director.

   Or in your mind, all the executives and directors of our MTR Corporation are not worth mentioning. As long as we complete the suppression of Chu Huan, we can turn a blind eye to the pressure we bear, is that so? Mr. Director, if you think so, I can announce to the public right now that there are some problems in this selection. Zhulu Real Estate does not meet the company's bidding standards. Now Chu Huan's Zhulu Real Estate can be eliminated from the three finalists. among the shortlisted. "

   Facing Lispemberton's rhetorical question, Xia Dingji naturally couldn't give such an answer.

  The current Xiangjiang is not the previous Xiangjiang.

  If it was Xiangjiang in the 1950s and 1960s, Xia Dingji could give this order without hesitation.

   But now it is Hong Kong in the late seventies.

  Chinese businessmen have risen in Hong Kong, and Chu Huan's reputation in Xiangjiang is even more famous. If the MTR company makes such a statement at this time, it will be in conflict with the current policy implemented by the Hong Kong government.

   What's more, Chu Huan still controls the largest media group in Xiangjiang. If Chu Huan's media group makes a big report on this matter, his political career will be over.

  Thinking of this, Xia Dingji looked at Lispemberton and asked in a deep voice: "Did you really put Chu Huan's Zhulu Real Estate in the final three shortlists out of this consideration?"

  Spem Burton calmly looked at Xia Dingji and said: "Mr. Director, I am also a British citizen!"

  Xia Dingji said in a deep voice: "I hope you can remember what I said!"

  Finally, Xia Dingji waved his hand and let Lispemberton leave his office.

   After Lispemberton left, Xia Dingji picked up the phone on his desk and dialed the office of Hongkong Land's general manager Bao Fuda.

   "There were some accidents, I think the two of us plus Niu Bijian should meet."

  Bao Fuda, who was holding the phone, sank in his heart, and asked: "About the property development right on Central Station and Admiralty Station, the list of the three shortlisted companies finally came out?"

The shortlist will be published in the newspaper tonight, so the outside world has not received any news at this time, but after Lispemberton returns to the company, he will first tell the news to those who have been excluded from the shortlist accident, and the finalists. The list of three told the companies that participated in the bidding.

   "That's right!" Xia Dingji said in a deep voice, "Chu Huan's Zhulu Real Estate has been selected into the list of the final three!"

  Bao Fuda knows the seriousness of this matter. Now Hongkong Land's central district reconstruction plan, the parent company's overseas investment plan, and Wharf's reconstruction plan all need financial support.

  Now, the property development right on the subway station Central Station and Admiralty Station is a project that can bring huge benefits to the company in the shortest possible time.

  Simply speaking, both Hongkong Land and Jardine behind Hongkong need this project to provide funds for the development of Jardine and Hongkong.

   "Okay, I will contact Niu Bijian immediately, wait for my call!"

   Bao Fuda then hung up the phone.

.

  Chinese Walk, in Chu Huan's office on the top floor.

"Hehe, Changshi's strategy is good. Use the power of the media to publicize your company first, so that all Xiangjiang citizens can understand what is good about their bidding plan, and use the power of the people to give MTR Corporation and the Financial Secretary It increases the pressure!"

  Xiangjiang’s media has already begun to publicize Changshi’s proposal in this bidding.

  ‘The bidding plan that is most in line with the interests of the MTR Corporation! ’--"Letter"

  ‘The optimal bidding plan that is compatible with the interests of the steel company and the needs of the citizens of Xiangjiang! ’--"Sing Tao Daily"

  ‘I believe this is the best solution! ’--"Cheng Bao"

Except for "Zhenbao" and "Daily Daily" under Chu Huan Black and White Media, almost all other newspapers in Xiangjiang published extremely similar content, that is, they praised Changshi for the development of the property on the subway station Central Station and Admiralty Station. The bidding plan for the right.

   This plan is boasting that there is nothing in the sky and no earth, and there is only one in the world!

Xu Yi and Wu Shuhan sat across from Chu Huan. Wu Shuhan looked at Chu Huan's eyes at this time, which were obviously different from yesterday's. They were watery. Compared with the previous respect and admiration, there was more love meaning.

   And all these changes are due to the change in the relationship between the two last night.

  For Wu Shuhan, what happened last night is actually a bit hazy until now. Although he had already made some preparations in his heart at that time, when things really happened, Wu Shuhan realized that all the preparations were actually in vain.

   From being at a loss and not knowing what to do after the situation is ripe, until accepting it, it seems that Chu Huan is guiding his emotions.

  But at this time, Wu Shuhan no longer struggled with these things.

  The matter is a foregone conclusion, no matter how confused you are, it is better to try to accept this new relationship.

   "Boss, how do I see that you don't seem to be worried at all?"

  Xu Yi didn't have so many thoughts, but just expressed his opinion on what happened now.

  She also understands that the significance of this project to the company is not how much benefit this project will bring to the company in the future, but more importantly, it is to rectify the name of Zhulu Real Estate.

  Chu Huan clicked on the newspaper on the table, and said with a smile: "As I said, this matter will be handled by He Bingguang. What is happening now should be He Bingguang's headache, not me!"

Xu Yi didn't even pay much attention to the profits brought by this project, and it was even less likely that Chu Huan cared about it. What Chu Huan cared more about was whether He Bingguang could complete the tasks he had assigned to him in this project. , He Bingguang can continue to be cultivated.

   If it cannot be completed, then the only thing to do is to find a candidate in Jiaku who can replace He Bingguang.

  At this time, someone from the secretary department came in and reported.

   "Boss, Mr. He called just now, and Zhulu Real Estate has been shortlisted for the final list of the top three for the property development right above the subway station Central Station and Admiralty Station."

  Chu Huan smiled calmly, and said: "Tell He Bingguang, let him continue to work hard, what I want is the final success, to be shortlisted in the top three, if I don't win the bid in the end, it will be no different from the companies I left before."

"yes!"

  After the staff from the secretary department left, Xu Yi smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. He will work harder this time!"

  After laughing, the three of them started to discuss other things. There are too many companies on Chu Huan's side, and they will all converge on Xu Yi and Wu Shuhan's side, so the workload of the two of them is very heavy.

.

  Cheung Kong Headquarters.

   Li Jiacheng also received a reply from the MTR Corporation, telling them that Cheung Kong has been shortlisted for the final list of the top three.

   "Yeah!"

  Sheng Songsheng couldn't help cheering when he saw Li Jiacheng put down the phone.

  This project is really important to Chang Shi, but when Sheng Song's cheers ended, he saw that Li Jiacheng didn't look very happy, so he couldn't help asking.

   "Boss, why are you not happy at all!"

Although Li Jiacheng could not be as open-minded as Chu Huan, Li Jiacheng also had his own ideas and said calmly: "Now it just shows that we are indeed qualified to compete for this project, but it is not certain how the project will end up. Woolen cloth!"

   Speaking of this, Li Jiacheng looked at Sheng Songsheng and continued: "Landmark, the strength of these two companies is stronger than ours, and it is not so easy to win in their pinch."

  Sheng Songsheng had a different idea, and said: "Boss, today Xiangjiang's media and newspapers have published our company's plan, and the feedback received is very good. Now we have a very high voice for Changshi!"

Li Jiacheng smiled and said: "This is the bargaining chip in our hands, but Hongkong Land and Zhulu Real Estate also have their own bargaining chips. With the support of most of the company's directors and high-level executives, their chips are higher than ours."

  Sheng Songsheng finally showed a worried expression, and asked: "Zhulu Real Estate has won the support of most of the directors and executives of the MTR Corporation. How did he do it?"

The directors and executives of the MTR Corporation can be divided into two groups. The first group, the directors of the MTR Corporation are divided into Chinese businessmen with a reputation in Hong Kong and some ghosts with real power in Hong Kong. The second group, the management of the MTR Corporation Most of them are from ghosts, and a small part are Chinese.

  In such a network, Zhulu Real Estate has won the support of most of the directors and executives of the MTR Corporation, which made Sheng Songsheng puzzled.

   In addition, Sheng Songsheng has another doubt.

   "Boss, how did you know about this?"

   "Mr. Zhuang told me!" Li Jiacheng said helplessly.

  The old man Zhuang mentioned in the mouth of Li Jiacheng is not Li Jiacheng's father-in-law, but an old man with a high reputation in the older generation of Xiangjiang, but he is low-key and has little reputation outside.

   Has a very good relationship with Li Jiacheng's father-in-law Zhuang Yueming.

  Although Sheng Songsheng solved one of his doubts, he still had more doubts: "How did Chu Huan get their support?"

Li Jiacheng waved his hand and said: "It's not important anymore. Even if we know the reason, we can't solve it now that time is so tight. Instead, it's better to maximize the bargaining chips in our own hands. What we need to see now is our three parties. Whose bargaining chip is more tempting."

  Sheng Songsheng asked: "Does Zhidi know?"

Li Jiacheng said: "I should know it, but it's still the same sentence, time is too tight now, even if Landmark knows it, it is impossible to win the chips in the hands of Zhulu Real Estate in such a short period of time , if my guess is correct, Bao Fuda and Niu Bijian of Hongkong Land should be discussing countermeasures with Xia Dingji now."

  Sheng Songsheng showed a helpless expression. If this is the case, it seems that they have the smallest chips in their hands.

Seeing Sheng Songsheng's expression, Li Jiacheng said with a smile: "Don't worry too much. Zhulu Real Estate only has the support of most of the directors and executives of the MTR Corporation, not all of them. As long as we can maximize the value of our chips , then we may win!"

  Sheng Songsheng nodded, and said seriously: "That's right!"

   Li Jiacheng stopped talking. In fact, there is one more important thing in his heart now, and the importance has surpassed this bidding.

  He was thinking, will Chu Huan agree to become a shareholder of Changshi in the end!

  If Chu Huan can finally become a shareholder of Changshi, the relationship between the two parties will change from competition to cooperation. In the future, the two parties will reduce business competition and increase business cooperation, which is very important to Changshi.

  Sheng Songsheng said helplessly: "I didn't expect that Changshi would ask Chu Huan to take a stake in us."

Li Jiacheng smiled softly, and said: "Don't always see the gains and losses in front of you. Chu Huan's business territory is no longer limited to Xiangjiang. If we can cooperate with Chu Huan, we can get Chu Huan's business outside Xiangjiang. The market, as long as we find the right business, we can get more returns, and there is one thing you may not know."

  Sheng Song was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What is it?"

  Li Jiacheng said: "Last year, Chu Huan had acquired Alder Commercial Bank, a commercial bank in North America!"

   "What?" Sheng Songsheng was really surprised this time, he never thought that Chu Huan would acquire a commercial bank in North America quietly?

"how can that be?"

Li Jiacheng said with a wry smile: "I thought it was impossible at first, but the fact is that Chu Huan was able to acquire a commercial bank in North America, which shows that Chu Huan's network in North America is absolutely unimaginable for us, and Xiangjiang This place is too small. I believe that Chu Huan will definitely jump out of the framework of Xiangjiang one day. If we can maintain a cooperative relationship with Chu Huan at that time, then we will have Chu Huan as a powerful helper in Xiangjiang, and overseas. You can seek cooperation with Chu Huan."

   Speaking of the last moment, the wry smile on Li Jiacheng’s face was gone, and what was left was hope.

  Sheng Song shook his head and said in disbelief: "No one in Xiangjiang knows about this?"

  Li Jiacheng said: "That's why I said that Xiangjiang is too small. When I learned about this from a humble mouth, I almost dropped my jaw in shock, but..."

  Sheng Songsheng looked up at Li Jiacheng in shock and asked, "So Qianhe is in North America now, and is actually investigating Chu Huan's business situation in North America?"

  Li Jiacheng nodded and said, "That's right, the more you know, the more you understand that there is a gap between heaven and earth between us and Chu Huan."

After finishing the speech, Li Jiacheng saw Sheng Songsheng's slumped look, smiled and comforted him: "There is nothing to worry about, the present does not represent the future, as long as we can manage our growth well, I believe that in the future, we may be able to reach Chu Huan's current level." to the point of!"

  Li Jiacheng did not say to catch up with Chu Huan at that time, because it was almost impossible.

  Sheng Song sighed: "I really want to know what kind of expression other people in Xiangjiang will have when they know the news."

Li Jiacheng waved his hand and said: "This matter will be known sooner or later, but it must not be revealed by us. I asked Qianhe to investigate Chu Huan's situation in North America. I want to know more about Chu Huan, who we may have in the future. Allies, how many secrets are hidden that we don't know, instead of competing with him, you know?"

   "Understood!" Sheng Song nodded helplessly.

   Then Li Jiacheng said to Sheng Songsheng: "I asked you to do another thing, how are you doing?"

  Sheng Song said: "It's already been done, and now no one has noticed that we are buying Wharf shares!"

Li Jiacheng is a pure businessman, and at the same time a very courageous businessman. Just when everyone thought that Li Jiacheng's goal was the property development right on the subway station Central Station and Admiralty Station that was going on, Li Jiacheng actually On the Internet, Sheng Songsheng started to secretly buy shares in Wharf.

  Li Jiacheng understands the gap between his Changsha and the most powerful real estate companies in Xiangjiang. The most important one is the lack of a core industry of his own.

  So after surviving that difficult period, Li Jiacheng began to study the core projects of all real estate companies in Xiangjiang.

  Finally, Li Jiacheng finalized Jardine's Wharf.

  Jardines’ holding of Wharf is not as the outside world thinks, but very rare. If it can acquire Wharf and become the controlling party of Wharf, then Changshi will achieve a triple jump in strength.

  So Li Jiacheng told Sheng Songsheng that at a time when all the people were paying attention to the property development right above the subway station Central Station and Admiralty Station, Changshi was already secretly buying shares in Wharf.

.

  Jardines, Taipan Niu Bijian, who owns Wharf, and Bao Fuda, the general manager of Jardine Land, are currently discussing the development rights of the properties above Central Station and Admiralty Station, just as Li Jiacheng guessed.

   "Resperm Burton dared to disobey your order and lean towards Chu Huan's competing real estate?"

Niu Bijian also understood the seriousness of the matter at this time. Although it seemed that Lispemberton had already persuaded Xia Dingji why he wanted to include Zhulu Real Estate in the top three list, in fact, after analysis, Xia Dingji understood that Reese Pemberton must have been on Chu Huan's side.

   And this is exactly what Niu Bijian is worried about now. At this time, Niu Bijian realized that he had taken it for granted before, thinking that with Xia Dingji's support, this matter would be settled.

   But I didn't expect that Zhulu Real Estate would find another way to get the support of Lispemberton and others.

  As Li Jiacheng said, if they want to take action at this time, it will definitely be too late.

"Huh!" Xia Dingji was also very angry at this time. Although Lispemberton was not his own, Xia Dingji also thought that no matter what, Lispemberton would definitely stand by his side in this matter. Now it seems a bit too optimistic.

"Short-sighted guy, can't he see that if Chu Huan's Zhulu Real Estate finally wins this project, his reputation in Xiangjiang will be improved again, and who will protect the rights and interests of our compatriots in Xiangjiang? "

   Bao Fuda said beside him: "So what should we do now?"

Chu Huan’s Zhulu Real Estate needs this project to rectify the name of Zhulu Real Estate. Li Jiacheng’s Changshi needs this project to enhance his prestige in Xiangjiang and also needs the benefits brought by this project. Landmark needs this project simply. Yes, they just need this income.

   Without this benefit, there would be a bigger funding gap for Jardine's development plan in other cities.

   "Don't worry, I have already made a decision. I will personally go to the MTR Corporation to host their final discussion meeting tomorrow morning. With me here, I don't believe they dare to choose Zhulu Real Estate!"

  Xia Dingji was also really angry this time. The MTR Corporation, which was founded with the support of the financial secretary, actually obeyed his orders, which made Xia Dingji very annoyed.

   "Sir Xia Dingji, I will leave this matter to you!"

  Niu Bijian had no better way at this time, just like Li Jiacheng, at this time Niu Bijian could only hope that Xia Dingji would be strong enough.

  Only in this way can Hongkong Land hope to win this project.

"Do not worry!"

.

  Hua Ren Xing, 57th floor, in the office of He Bingguang, general manager of Zhulu Real Estate.

   At this time, Lu Qi sat opposite He Bingguang.

   "How's the situation over there?" He Bingguang was discussing with Lu Qi about competing for real estate.

Lu Qi shook his head and said: "Taohua Datong has a very heated discussion about our acquisition. They don't want to sell their land, but want to develop this land with us. This is different from the chairman's request. Yes, so there is some trouble!"

  He Bingguang is working **** the property development right above the subway station, while Lu Qi is busy negotiating with Taohua Datong about the acquisition of land.

  The current situation is that regardless of the reputation of the management of Zhulu Real Estate, one thing is certain, that is, the projects of Zhulu Real Estate are all profitable projects, and they are also projects that make a lot of money.

Taohua Datong heard that Zhulu Real Estate intends to combine its original land in Kowloon Bay with the land of Taohua Datong to develop a large-scale project, and immediately made a decision, that is, we will not buy land, but we can use the land to invest in this company project.

  Everybody wants to make a big buck.

  He Bingguang said: "Since this is the case, let's start the acquisition process."

   Lu Qi nodded and said: "I think so too. I have already contacted Fengwu Securities, and the other party is evaluating this acquisition."

   It was not too difficult to find out about the Datong project, so after a brief discussion, the two brought the topic to the matter that He Bingguang is now in charge of.

   "I read the newspapers, and Changshi is now mobilizing the power of public opinion. It is obvious that Changshi is not a good person this time?"

  He Bingguang nodded and said: "At this time, I finally understand why the chairman paid special attention to Changshi before. Before that, I didn't pay attention to Changshi at all, but I didn't expect that they have no less bargaining chips than us now!"

   Lu Qi said: "Changshi, Zhidi, and our competition, now it's the three kingdoms fighting for hegemony, and each side has advantages that the other side doesn't have."

He Bingguang smiled and said: "Wrong, we actually have the advantage of long-term strength in our hands. I have already greeted Mr. Gu of the black and white newspaper industry. Starting from the evening paper tonight, "True News" and "Daily Daily" They will fully support us in our pursuit of real estate, but the hardest thing now is that Xia Dingji can't conquer it!"

   Various magazines and newspapers such as "Zhenbao", "Daily Daily", "Movie Biweekly" have been merged into Black and White Newspaper, which is under the banner of Black and White Media. Gu Chengxi is the general manager of Black and White Newspaper.

   Lu Qi smiled and said: "If there is Mr. Gu's support, then the gap in public opinion between us and Changshi can be ignored, and now the rest is Landmark!"

  He Bingguang nodded and said, "Now we have to see the results of the last internal meeting of MTR Corporation tomorrow."
