Chapter 299 Tell me, isn’t it strange?
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the day for the development bidding for the land in Linhai Park.
"Why is there a need for public bidding? Why not just announce the results directly?"
"Exactly. Everyone knows that Anning Real Estate has put in a lot of effort this time. Even the Land Bureau is optimistic about Anning. Wouldn't other real estate companies just be running behind?"
"It's okay, just think of it as a celebration for Anning Real Estate. After all, they've been developing for several years and are only now getting better."
"You're right. It's better for Anning Real Estate to win the bid than Juqing Real Estate. If Juqing Real Estate gets this land, won't it be the only one in the future? What will we, the industry peers, do for a living then?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people waiting in the bidding hall nodded subconsciously.
There are two companies most likely to win the bid this time, one is the former leading An Ning Real Estate, and the other is the current leading Juqing Real Estate.
The other bidders hoped that An Ning would win the land, because if An Ning Real Estate won the bid, it would at least leave something for its competitors.
But Juqing is different. Over the years, they have been acquiring real estate companies everywhere, and their thundering means have left their competitors with no chance of survival. They have even driven several real estate companies into bankruptcy, leaving many people unemployed and many companies' projects unfinished. The already bad real estate environment has become even worse.
In a word, wherever the giant goes, there is almost no grass growing except for this big tree.
At this time, someone patted Ning Zhiyuan on the shoulder: "Mr. Ning, congratulations in advance."
Ning Zhiyuan turned around and quickly put on a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Sun. Then I'll borrow your good wishes!"
People from the two companies nodded to each other, and the scene was harmonious.
"throat--"
At this moment, the heavy door of the bidding hall opened, and the sound of high heels and leather shoes was crisp. A team of people in suits and ties came in aggressively. The young man in the lead had a sign on his chest that read "Juqing Real Estate".
Seeing this, the people in the hall looked at each other and fell silent, and the atmosphere became strange.
"Cough-cough-"
The host on the stage cleared his throat and took the microphone and said, "All the companies participating in the bidding have arrived. Now, let me announce that the bidding for No. 33 Linhai Park has begun. All companies are welcome to submit their bids—"
Submitting the bid is just a formality, the electronic version has been submitted long ago.
The company representatives walked forward one by one, and the people in the audience began to whisper. They didn't know if it could be arranged that the person sitting next to An Ning Real Estate was Juqing Real Estate.
After half a year of preparation, the results were about to come out today. It would be a lie for Ning Zhiyuan to say that he wasn't nervous. Even with the air conditioner on, a thin layer of sweat still appeared on his forehead.
At this time, a tissue was handed over: "Boss Ning, wipe the sweat off your face."
When I turned around, I saw that the person who handed me the tissue was actually a representative of Juqing Real Estate.
Ning Zhiyuan immediately waved his hand and said, "No need."
He didn't want to have too much contact with the people from Juqing Real Estate, but the Juqing representative didn't think so.
"Mr. Ning, there's no need to be so cold. We're all in the same industry. If we can't be partners, we can still be friends. Don't you agree?"
"I'm sorry, but we can't work together if we don't share the same ideals."
Ning Zhiyuan's face turned cold, and after saying this, he turned his head away and ignored them.
The Juqing representative's face froze, and he finally withdrew his hand awkwardly, but a glint flashed in his eyes: "The results will be out soon, Mr. Ning, don't regret it then."
Hearing this, everyone in Anning Real Estate looked up, glanced at him with disdain, sneered, and finally looked away.
They just thought that Juqing was incompetent and making a fuss. After all, everyone who participated in the bidding knew that the land was almost predetermined to be given to An Ning.
however--
"The company that won the bid for No. 33 Linhai Park is, let us congratulate, Juqing Real Estate!" The host excitedly shouted out the result while holding the microphone. The sound coming from the speakers was enough to shock everyone's hearts!
Before he finished speaking, a group of people stood up from the audience:
"That's impossible. How could Juqing Real Estate be the winning bidder?"
"You must be mistaken, it should be Anning Real Estate!"
"Host, what's wrong with you?"
Amidst the commotion, the people from Juqing Real Estate sat neatly on their chairs, grins of triumph on their faces. The representative stood up and uttered a few words in a casual tone:
"Thank you, President Ning. Our bidding price is 1.25 million."
1.25 billion!
Others didn't know, but Ning Zhiyuan's eyes widened. Their An Ning Real Estate had been preparing for half a year, combining the development situation around Site 33 and some special information, and they had a comprehensive discussion for a long time before coming up with this number!
Why did Juqing Real Estate offer the same price as them?
If the bidding prices are the same, the strength of the bidding companies must be considered comprehensively.
In this situation, it would be strange if An Ning didn’t lose to Juqing Real Estate!
"You, what did you do?"
Ning Zhiyuan said in a trembling voice, his scalp tingling amidst the chaotic noise.
But the story wasn't over yet. The female host on stage suddenly said, "Please go to Hall 2 for Anning Real Estate to participate in the next hot spring resort bidding."
The people in the audience exclaimed, including the people from An Ning Real Estate, but before they could react, the staff came to guide the people from An Ning to bid in another place, leaving the others who were confused.
"What do you mean, An Ning is betting on both sides?"
"I don't know. Didn't I just hear that An Ning participated in the bidding for Land No. 33?"
"An Ning is so well hidden that they even dared to develop a resort..."
The bidding hall was bustling with noise. At this moment, on a floor separated by a ceiling, a fat woman sitting on a sofa was shaking her wine glass, and her assistant was bending over to pour the wine.
"Is the matter done?"
"It's done. Mr. Chen, the former director of Anning Real Estate, is very interested in joining Juqing. We have submitted a bid on his behalf to the bidders for the resort, and the results will be out soon."
"very good."
Zhou Yuan waved her hand and stood up. The sofa, which had been dented in a large area, slowly rebounded, and she walked to the window.
Just across the window, downstairs is the resort bidding hall, and the host's voice is particularly clear -
"Next, let us congratulate An Ning Real Estate, the company that won the bid for the resort!"
The background music coming from the speakers sounded like the drumbeats of a final farewell. Zhou Yuan slowly smiled. She had finally managed to raise Anning Real Estate...
In the studio, Ning Feifei hung up the phone and stood at the door of the tea room in a daze, not even realizing when Xu Yang appeared behind her.
"Fifi!"
Ning Feifei only felt her ear itchy, and quickly came back to her senses. Turning around, she saw Xu Yang playing with the earring on her earlobe with a wicked smile.
She reached out and slapped Xu Yang's hand away: "What are you doing!"
"I should be the one asking you this." Xu Yang withdrew his hand without getting angry. He then asked, "What are you daydreaming about?"
"It's just...my dad didn't get the land in Linhai Park." Ning Feifei's face was full of confusion. "Instead, he got the resort area without any preparation. Isn't that strange?"
