Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1343 Discussing the Situation
The deadliest thing is not here. I saw the news on TV. Mr. Ma was arrested. I don’t know what the charges are. He was deported from the beautiful country. Although he didn’t specify his name, he doesn’t need to guess. who is it?At the same time, his niece Huahua and his wife were also arrested.

This kind of heavy news is a fatal blow to Yunli Group, and then comes the negative news one after another. The 14 senior managers are all under control. After that, there is no news about Bao'er. She couldn't be contacted, and the male assistant who had a crush on her last time he saw her said that the afternoon before yesterday, he saw her being taken into an official car, the license plate was not clear, and he didn't know who it was?

I originally wanted to check the surveillance video, but the building was not allowed to enter and was completely sealed off.

Everyone in the Yunli Group was jittery, and everyone was terrified. Many people directly handed in their resignation letters, without going through the formalities, and just left.

The building will fall, and when it falls, not only will the inside be smashed to pieces, but also many spectators outside will be hit.

I am naturally not a spectator, but I was inevitably investigated, but during my tenure in Yunli, they could not catch me with any violations, and I was only in a short transitional period, and It didn't bother me too much.

In desperation, I had no choice but to find Du Shiyang again to see if there would be any problems with her. Although she didn't really want to see me, she needed my advice during this critical period. How many things do you know?

We met and made an appointment at a golf course in the suburbs of Guangzhou. There are 4 villas and a service center in this golf course. Few people come here to play golf. I don’t think even most Guangzhou people know about it. There is a golf course. Because the outer wall is close to 2 meters high, the inside is tightly blocked. Most people don't know what it is for?

The golf cart took me into the villa area. Du Shiyang was wearing sportswear and was waiting for me at the door.

Without too many pleasantries, she took me into the villa.

There are a few people sitting in the villa, Lao Du is also there, and the rest are the directors and executives of Lvshuiyuan. They should be in a meeting. My original intention was to meet Du Shiyang. Excuse me, after nodding my head to say hello, I want to go outside and wait a while before coming in.

Mr. Du stopped me and said, "Why are you leaving? Aren't you also a director of our company? Besides, there are all your old acquaintances here, who have known each other for more than ten years. You still want to avoid suspicion?"

I said with some embarrassment: "That's different. I'm a minority shareholder. You still don't know what's going on with my little shares? I'm just here to find out the situation. Let's talk about it!"

Mr. Du directly pulled me to his side and said, "Sit down, when did you become so fake?" Then he handed me a cigarette.

I had no choice but to sit down, and a director said: "Mr. Du, Mr. Chen is not an outsider, so I will say it directly. The current situation is not good for us. Under the new round of policies, many real estate agencies and real estate speculators have quit. The sales company is under great pressure, and the mid-year target is less than half completed. Bank loans for all real estate projects have been postponed indefinitely, and I don’t know when they will come down! All real estate stocks are almost at the limit this month. Some small companies are on the verge of bankruptcy! They are closed, and they are of no benefit to us, why do I feel that our industry will disappear!"

Old Du said displeasedly: "Basic clothing, food, housing, and transportation are indispensable to human life. If the industry is gone, where will the common people live? Don't be so pessimistic! Cracking down on real estate speculators and inflating housing prices will also benefit us! The shortage of funds is the difficulty that all real estate companies will encounter at present, Shiyang, is it okay for the company to maintain normal operations?"

Du Shiyang nodded and said: "There is no problem in the short term! The state regulation is not once or twice, and the ultimate goal is not to curb housing prices, but not to inflate it! As long as we are targeting rigid needs, there is no problem! The other two Years ago, we adjusted our business strategy. Housing construction and road construction were divided into half, so I am not worried about housing construction. On the contrary, in terms of road construction and municipal engineering, the payment period is too long, the progress of EPC projects is slow, and the investment is too large , too many advances, if this continues, I am afraid that this will be the straw that crushes us!"

One of the directors objected: "But the funds for government projects are guaranteed! At least we can get the money. Those commercial buildings and complexes don't know that they will see money in the year of the monkey. Whether there is a shortage of houses or not, everyone already knows. There are many, but no one is willing to expose it. Once it is exposed, it will not only be unlucky for our real estate company! I don’t know how many people will lose their jobs, and how many local governments will lose their economic support!"

Mr. Du hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense! Urban village renovations and social welfare housing are blooming everywhere in various places. We can do these projects as well! Be flexible and follow the national policies Just go! Be pragmatic, slow down your pace, and get through these few years!"

Du Shiyang went on to say: "It is said that it is a cold winter for real estate, but I have never seen a warm spring. As long as the industry is still there, there will be people who can make money in the industry. fall!"

One of the directors sighed and said: "But the people who created an industry have all fallen. Do you think this is terrible? Things are unpredictable!"

Du Shiyang rolled his eyes at him and said: "Don't say what you shouldn't say. No one knows what's going on here? At present, what we need to do well is to tighten money, control capital expenditure, and reduce projects Development. Projects with a payment period of more than 6 months, and projects that can’t see a penny in 6 months, will be stopped immediately, and when I have money, when will I start construction!"

Immediately, someone objected: "This is not allowed! That's how the contract was signed at the time. If you do this, isn't it a violation of the contract? You will be fined to death!"

But Du Shiyang said firmly: "You can't do without some pressure! I just want to know what kind of project you have invested in for 6 months, and you can't see a penny? Are you making a wish with coins? One Going back or not? Strict control is necessary."

After discussing for more than two hours, seeing that everyone was tired, Du Shiyang looked at Lao Du.Then he said: "Let's go here today. When you go back, don't bring your negative emotions to your subordinates. You must have confidence in the future market. We are doing things down-to-earth. No matter what the national policy is, as long as it is not illegal , it’s fine!”

People left one after another, only Lao Du father and daughter were left, and Lao Du slowly said to me: "Seeing that you have not spoken, what do you think?"

I snorted and asked, "What are you referring to? Is the future market prospect of the real estate market? I'm still quite optimistic, but it's past the limelight, and it's not the era when people can make money just by taking a piece of land. Only those who have an insight into market opportunities and understand the laws of the market can survive in this industry! Blind investment, people who don’t understand this industry at all, just invest in whichever industry they think is hot, can’t make money now , and nothing can be done!
I know an old cousin from Shanxi. In 16 years, 2000 million won the first piece of land, and the bank loaned 3 million. He used to be a coal digger. How could he know how to build and sell buildings?But before the main organization came out, the houses were sold out, and he got rich overnight. It is not an exaggeration at all. In his own words, mining coal is enough to make money, but compared with this, it is simply a child's play!
Let him catch up, but now what?I bought another piece of land the year before last. I felt that I was very familiar with this industry, and I thought it would be sold if it was built.The money I have worked so hard to save over the years is not enough to pay for it. I just jumped off the building a few days ago, on the top floor of the tall building I built! "

Du Shiyang interjected: "It's definitely impossible to speculate! Then do you have any good suggestions?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't, I don't even understand this industry!"

Old Du smiled and asked, "What do you think about Mr. Ma?"

I smiled wryly and said: "I don't understand this matter even more. I don't know why he was taken into surgery? I really don't know what he did. However, it is not difficult to get a signal. At any time, don't Illegal, no matter how big you are! The account that should be settled will be settled with you sooner or later! You will not have this problem, will you? If so, it must be resolved as soon as possible!"

Lao Du immediately shook his head and said, "I have always been law-abiding and have never violated any law or discipline. You don't have to talk to me!"

I looked at Du Shiyang again, and she said angrily, "What do you see me doing?"

I smiled and said, "I just feel that no one has any confidence in their hearts. Self-examination is worse than liquidation. It's one thing to be careful, but you still have to guard against it!"

Lao Du looked at me strangely and asked, "What do you mean? Pave yourself a way out and run away at any time?"

I hurriedly shook my head and said, "That's not what I meant. Do you think you can run away? What can you do if you run out? You have lived in this land for so long, where can you get used to it? Anyway, I can't! Don't Speaking of foreign countries, I have been in Guangdong for so many years, and I am still not used to it. When I go out, I have to change the language. If I can’t open my mouth, I just speak Northeast dialect! You say that you see it all over the street, and no one has the same skin as you. , people with the same language, can you do it? Every day is western food, and no one can even cook fried beef? Are you accepting it?"

Old Du said with a serious face: "It's far away! I understand what you mean! I won't leave either, and besides, I don't have to go!"

I hummed and said: "What I mean is, respond to the call of the country, follow the national policy closely, and don't be unconventional and inflated!"

Lao Du frowned and said, "I've been in real estate for decades, how could I be inflated? You don't know my personality? What exactly are you trying to say?"

I smiled and said, "It's nothing, it just makes me a little nervous now!"

Old Du looked at me, and said with some concern: "You really have to pay attention. I usually do things very ostentatiously, and I shouldn't offend people a lot, right? If you don't make trouble these days, you will make a mess. You love You have to pay more attention to your meddling character! I heard that you have been involved in the Parkson Group again! This is not a good thing, it is very messy, that Zhang Meifa is a famous mad dog , bite anyone you see!"

I asked curiously, "Do you know him?"

Old Du hummed and said: "We have dealt with each other many years ago. It was a piece of land, and the two families were fighting. After we got that piece of land, when we started working, he brought people to make trouble. You said that the boss of such a big company is like a bandit. I am too lazy to know him! Recently, I heard that he started to move real estate again. Brain, I have to be on guard against him!"

I groaned and said, "Real estate? Isn't he engaged in financial investment? In addition to the current outlet, everyone inside wants to run out, and he still wants to drill in. Is there something wrong with his mind?"

Lao Du shook his head and said: "Isn't this just waiting for the bottom to rebound? No one will grab the land from you now. There are so many unfinished projects in the Yunli Group, so you can take one or two at random. When the limelight passes, it's okay. It’s definitely worth it! As long as you have enough funds, I think you can try it! Anyway, I’ve always been optimistic about the real estate market, the country will never let the pillar industry collapse, right?”

I curled my lips and said, "That's really hard to say! The current real estate market is abnormal. The housing prices in a third-tier city are hundreds of times the income. The little money I earn in a year is not enough to buy a few square meters! Is this normal? I don’t believe that there are so many rich people who only earn a few thousand dollars a month, but dare to buy a house worth tens of thousands of dollars and pay the bank for the rest of their lives? This is not a normal market demand I just read that the per capita income in CD City this year is only 4.1 yuan, but the house price is 1.8 square meters. You can only afford a few square meters without eating or drinking for a year. Who suffers? It’s me, I would rather rent a house than buy a house! I think some people are starting to buy a RV and live in it! I think this is a good way to have both a car and a house!"

Lao Du smiled and said: "You are just talking nonsense! Do you think we are a foreign country? You are not allowed to pay for parking? No need to add water, no charging, no refueling? Do you really think I don't know anything? Don't you just talk to How many times has Shiyang driven out to play? I really thought I could live in the car for the rest of my life!"

Du Shiyang and I blushed all of a sudden, Du Shiyang scolded his father and said: "Speaking of business, what are you doing with me?"

Old Du laughed loudly and said, "I'm just here to chat with Ah Fei. It's been a long time since no one had a smiley face with him!"
