Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1277: Shut out

Xiahou Mulan smiled gently and said, "Thank you Director Xu, thank you leaders, and thank you Dongzhou Business Committee for your support. Today, President Zhai and I are mainly negotiating on some of Kangjian Group's commercial investment projects in Dongzhou. Our Mulan Group plans to acquire some of Kangjian Group's projects in Dongzhou, which mainly include Kangjian Nursing Home and Dongzhou Infectious Disease Hospital New Hospital Project."

Qi Mingxue and Chang Baoguang looked at each other. This was a good thing. It was not a withdrawal of investment, nor was it helping to take the blame. If the deal was successful, it would be no different from attracting investment, which would be equivalent to revitalizing a dying project.

At this point, Zhai Pingqing could only agree with Xia Hou Mulan and said, "Thank you Dongzhou Business Committee for your concern for us, and thank you Director Xu for your enthusiastic help to our investors."

Qi Mingxue winked at the person in charge of taking minutes of the meeting, asking him to record it carefully, as it would be rewarded with political achievements in the future.

Xu Chunliang said: "Then I will preside over this negotiation. I hope that we can achieve mutual benefit, seek common ground while reserving differences, and strive to reach a result that satisfies both parties."

Zhai Pingqing said, "Director Xu, Miss Mulan, and all the leaders present, our Kangjian Group has invested 5 billion in the new hospital project of Dongzhou Infectious Disease Hospital. Due to the sudden change in the city's plan, our group has suffered certain losses, so we have to adjust the direction of the group's development in a timely manner. I have previously proposed to Dongzhou to withdraw investment, and Secretary Wang also expressed his support. However, the withdrawal procedures are very complicated, and we have to consider the time cost. It just so happens that Mulan Group has shown great interest in our project, which led to today's negotiations."

Xu Chunliang nodded and said, "Boss Zhai, let's get to the point. What's your expected price?"

Zhai Pingqing said, "As everyone knows, we have invested 5 billion in the new hospital project. The assessed price of our Kangjian Nursing Home is 500 million, with a total value of 5.5 billion. I have all the assessment information here, Miss Mulan, and I have sent it to you in advance for your review."

Xiahou Mulan nodded: "So, what price is Mr. Zhai expecting?"

Zhai Pingqing said: "One price, 5.3 billion!" He thought he was being generous enough. Of course, his bottom line was 5 billion, and the extra 300 million was to allow Xiahou Mulan to bargain.

Before Xiahou Mulan could speak, Xu Chunliang spoke up: "Boss Zhai, what you just said is questionable. The reason why your group suffered losses was not due to the change in the city's planning. The reason why your new hospital project was suspended was entirely due to force majeure. According to the original contract, Dongzhou is not responsible for compensation. At present, the city has also expressed considerable sincerity and provided you with two plots of land for the new hospital project. The land value is higher than the original plot."

Zhai Pingqing smiled calmly and said, "Director Xu, let's not dwell on this issue today."

"Everything must be made clear. Our Business Council must treat all investors equally. If the negotiations are successful today, and you take a large transfer payment and leave, Miss Mulan will be developing in Dongzhou in the future. We must ensure her right to know and protect her interests just like we protect your interests today."

  Zhai Pingqing is so depressed. Why don’t you just say clearly that you want to protect her? Why do you have to praise one and step on the other?

Xiahou Mulan said: "Mr. Zhai's offer seems to lack sincerity."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Let me say this. When negotiating a business, we always bid the highest price and pay the lowest price. However, since we are at the Chamber of Commerce, if you can trust us, we should all show some sincerity. Miss Mulan, what price do you expect?"

Xiahou Mulan said: "As far as I know, Mr. Zhai has been negotiating the transfer with Equator Capital. The price they offered you is 4.5 billion."

Zhai Pingqing took a deep breath. How did she know? How did she know the price of Equator Capital so clearly? Who leaked the secret? On the surface, he remained calm and said, "They did offer a price that I couldn't accept, but I rejected it. Otherwise, we wouldn't be sitting together today."

Xu Chunliang said, "I think this is the best way. Mr. Zhai, please lower your price a little more. As a man, you should take the initiative to show some sincerity."

  Zhai Pingqing looked at this guy. He had been doing business for half his life and this was the first time he encountered such a situation. Was he a gang up on me?

Xiahou Mulan said nothing, waiting for Zhai Pingqing to express his opinion.

Zhai Pingqing said: "I have shown great sincerity and have not calculated the cost of occupying funds. In addition, Kangjian Nursing Home has already given a discount."

Xu Chunliang said, "Boss Zhai, you are in a hurry to use the money. Boss Wang at Equator Capital has had problems, so it is impossible to negotiate with you in the short term. Either you wait and withdraw your investment, or you show enough sincerity."

Qi Mingxue and Chang Baoguang had seen it today. This Xu Chunliang was really extraordinary. He could do anything. Wasn't this a public whistle? What did this beauty have to do with him? Wasn't he afraid that people would say he was using public resources for personal gain? Was he unfair?

Zhai Pingqing said: "Since Director Xu said so, then fine, I'll take a loss, 5 billion." This price was the tacit agreement reached between him and Xiahou Mulan in advance. After all, he still had to support Xiahou Mulan to become the leader of the sect.

Xiahou Mulan said: "I also asked someone to make an assessment. Although the price of 5 billion is not low, it is not unacceptable."

Zhai Pingqing felt relieved. After all, they had reached a consensus. With the 5 billion, he could at least get out of Dongzhou unscathed and leave this circle of trouble as soon as possible.

Xiahou Mulan said: "I have drawn up a contract. I can give you 6 billion."

Zhai Pingqing was stunned. Why did Xiahou Mulan suddenly become so generous? No reason? Is there any additional condition? Xiahou Mulan said: "The extra 1 billion will be used to acquire all your health care institutions in Pinghai Province."

Zhai Pingqing knew that the money was not so easy to get. He had opened a total of ten health care institutions in various cities in Pinghai. If Xiahou Mulan wanted to take them all away, it would be equivalent to driving him out of Pinghai's elderly care track, which meant that he had to give up the elderly care market in Pinghai Province.

Zhai Pingqing looked at Xiahou Mulan. The young people nowadays are really ruthless. In the past, he would never give up the market in Pinghai for a mere 1 billion yuan. But now is different. According to the news he got, the country will vigorously rectify the health care market in the near future. His in-laws also reminded him to keep a low profile recently and know how to let go when it is time to let go.

A series of events in Dongzhou have sounded the alarm for Zhai Pingqing. What happened in Dongzhou today may happen somewhere else tomorrow.

Zhai Pingqing was still a little unwilling and whispered, "Miss Mulan, are you going to enter the big health industry?"

Xiahou Mulan said: "The price I gave you is quite fair due to the strategic needs of the group's development. This is also the bottom line of my psychological expectations. If Mr. Zhai feels it is not suitable, I will not force it."

Xiahou Mulan was showing her cards. This was her highest offer. If you, Zhai Pingqing, feel that you have made a loss, you can go find someone else. Xiahou Mulan would not fight a battle without confidence. Before coming here, she had already investigated Zhai Pingqing's situation clearly.

Xu Chunliang said, "Boss Zhai, please be frank. Whether it is okay or not, there are so many of us here. If Boss Zhai disagrees, we can introduce better projects for Miss Mulan to invest in."

Zhai Pingqing was completely speechless about this guy. He and Xiahou Mulan had joined forces to grab his wealth and had reached the point of being unscrupulous. Six billion! It sounds like a lot, but it's actually not much, including the five billion from Mingde Group.

Zhai Pingqing said: "The new hospital project is 4.5 billion, and the other projects are packaged and transferred for 1.5 billion."

The total amount is also 6 billion, but it must be clearly divided in the contract. The transfer fee of 4.5 billion for the new hospital project is paid to Lexing. Although there is still a gap of 400 million from the 4.9 billion proposed by Li Changji, the 400 million will be guaranteed by senior brother Huang Youlong.

Zhai Pingqing's own project in Pinghai was sold for 1.5 billion yuan, which at least meant that he got everything he wanted with a small profit.

Xiahou Mulan smiled and said, "No problem. I have prepared the transfer contract. If President Zhai has read it and it is ok, we can sign it today in front of all the leaders."

Lin Yaoming, who was hiding in the office under the pretext of attending a conference call, still got the news. Someone reported to him that the Kangjian New Hospital project had been successfully transferred under the mediation of Xu Chunliang for 4.5 billion yuan. The project was taken over by the famous Mulan Group, and the next step was to sign the contract.

There will be a press conference after the official signing. Currently, reporters from major media outlets in Dongzhou have been invited and are preparing to conduct interviews in a small conference room.

When Lin Yaoming first heard the news, he thought it was impossible, but when he saw the TV station and newspaper interview cars outside the window, he knew it was all true.

If I had known this, I should have participated in the negotiations. It would not only solve the problem of Kangjian Group's withdrawal of investment, but also bring in new investors, perfectly completing the task assigned by the city. It was like a huge gift from God, but I actually rejected it. How foolish! Why am I so foolish?

Lin Yaoming was annoyed, but decided to shamelessly give it a try. Although I did not participate in the negotiations, no one stipulated that I could not attend the press conference. After all, I was the head of the Commerce Committee, and no one would stop me from entering any room of the Commerce Committee if I wanted to.

Lin Yaoming, who valued political achievements more than self-esteem, finally went to the small meeting room. When he arrived at the door, he saw several men in black suits standing at the door.

Lin Yaoming walked in with his head held high, but unexpectedly he was stopped by them.

Lin Yaoming said: "What are you doing? I am the person in charge here."

One of the men in a black suit said, "Sorry, no one is allowed in without a business certificate."

Lin Yaoming was furious. He was the head of the Business Council, but he could not tolerate a few strangers being turned away in his own territory. He glared at the man and asked, "Who are you? Who asked you to come here?"
