My courtyard shelter

Hancheng in December was the coldest season of the year. As soon as Xu Dong came out of the gate, he almost ran into a newsboy wrapped in a shabby cotton coat.

"Newsboy", a "profession" that disappeared long ago, is now not only appearing in Hancheng, but also in China. Many teenagers are keen on this part-time job.

"Sir, do you need a newspaper?"

The newsboy spoke pure Daxia dialect.

"What's the news today?"

Xu Dong asked casually.

After spending so many years in government agencies, he gradually developed the habit of reading newspapers.

The newsboy blurted out: "International mediation failed and Italy insisted on sending troops south. A war between Italy and Italy may be inevitable."

Since the disintegration of the Europa Alliance, European countries have been coveting North Philippines and the rich areas. This dispatch of troops may be just a test.

Xu Dong couldn't help but frown. It had only been a few years since the peaceful days, but he didn't expect that conflicts would break out again. What a troubled time!

The newsboy seemed to be very perceptive, and as soon as he saw the person in front of him frowning, he was ready to turn around and leave.

Xu Dong quickly stopped the other party:

"Don't leave, give me one!"

After that, he took out a hundred-dollar bill from his wallet and handed it over casually.

The newsboy didn't reach out to take the money and looked embarrassed:

"Sir, do you have any change? I can't change a hundred dollars!"

Xu Dong waved his hand, put the money into the other person's hand, then took the newspaper, tucked it under his arm, opened the car door and said:

"No need to look for it, go back and buy a hat!"

After hearing this, the newsboy was surprised and happy, and he quickly bowed and said:

"Is this true? Thank you sir, thank you sir, I wish you a fortune!"

After Xu Dong got in the car, he said directly: "I was delayed for a while and kept you waiting for a long time."

"It's okay, it's just idle time anyway."

"Is there winter vacation in Hancheng? Why are there so many newsboys on the street?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

"There is no central heating here in Hancheng, and the school will be on vacation at the end of November." Mr. Cai explained.

"No wonder! Let's go back to the company."

Longshan Base is located due north of Guanyue District. The distance between the two places is not too far, and there is only Tongque District in the middle.

Xu Dong did not read the newspaper immediately, but continued to look out the window. Although Hancheng had been rebuilt for five years, there were still ruins in the urban area. There were very few vehicles on the road, and most of the pedestrians were wearing rags and walking slowly.

Everything seems to be stuck in place.

But when the car passed the "Cross-River Bridge" and entered the area on the south bank of the Han River, there was finally a change. There were more and more pedestrians on both sides of the road, and they were more neatly dressed.

In addition, there were a large number of shops on both sides of the street, with customers coming in and out. It was so lively that Xu Dongsheng felt a little emotional:

"This is what Hancheng should be like!"

But before he could finish his emotion, the car turned an intersection, and Xu Dong's eyes widened immediately. There were many tall buildings, noisy cars and horses, and the streets were filled with domestic pop music.

For a moment, he had the illusion that he was in China!

Is this Hancheng?

Xu Dong was a little unsure of what he saw and heard.

In the past two years, although many people have told him that Hancheng has undergone great changes, and through some news reports, he also feels that Hancheng should be developing very well now.

But he never thought that the street scene in front of him was not inferior to some big cities in the country.

No wonder Xia Jian Group is urging us so urgently!

Mr. Cai showed a proud look on his face: "Old Xu, starting from here, it will be our Guanyue District. Let me tell you, Xia Jian Group has done a really good job in these years."

"Indeed, I was a little scared."

Xu Dong nodded.

The driver rarely agreed: "Boss, in a few years, Hancheng here will be exactly the same as in our country."

After another ten minutes, my company finally arrived.

Mr. Wu actually appeared at the hotel entrance.

"Director Xu, you are finally here. You know, I have been waiting for you for a whole week!"

The other party seemed extremely happy to see Xu Dong.

As the saying goes, if you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something!

Xu Dong immediately became more alert: "Thank you, Mr. Wu. I have been waiting for a long time. The company has a lot of chores at the end of the year and I really can't get around to it. As a result, it has been delayed until now. Please forgive me, Mr. Wu!"

Mr. Wu waved his hand and said:

"It doesn't matter, as long as Director Xu comes, even if you wait another week, it will be worth it!"

Xu Dong made a "please" gesture.

"Mr. Wu, it's lunch time soon. Let's go in and eat and chat. What do you think?"

"That would be disrespectful!"

Mr. Wu laughed.

Xu Dong pulled Mr. Wu and others into the car, and then went straight to the restaurant. Mr. Cai had already arranged the meal.

After five years of development, today’s Kuai 8 Hotel is brand new from the inside out.

There are even several glass houses built in the park, some are used to grow vegetables and fruits, and some are purely ornamental gardens.

All in all, it’s a lively scene.

Xu Dong basically didn't touch the company's profits over the years. It was all spent in the park. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as big as it is today.

When they arrived at the restaurant, President Cai led everyone into the private room, which was decorated luxuriously. There was a small flower basket in the middle of the dining table.

There were three fruit plates next to the flower basket, with strawberries, cherry tomatoes and watermelons on them.

Everyone sat down, and the waiter quickly brought tea. President Cai personally held the teapot and poured tea for everyone.

"This is the green tea just picked this year. Everyone, try it."

Xu Dong took a sip of water from the teacup. It was indeed a familiar taste. The Fast 8 Hotel would airlift a batch of supplies to Yanjing every once in a while, most of which were various foods.

If it weren't for the situation, he really couldn't bear to sell this place.

"Good tea!" President Wu exclaimed.

"If President Wu likes it, why don't you take two kilograms back later? The production of tea this year is not high, and it should be better next year."

Xu Dong took the opportunity to test.

The implication is that he doesn't want to sell the company.

Mr. Wu waved his hand quickly: "No, no, I'm a public official, I dare not accept things casually."

"Then I won't persuade you, anyway, this place will be yours next year."

Xu Dong was very straightforward. Seeing that things were impossible, he simply expressed his attitude, and also prevented the other party from jumping off the wall and making any trouble.

Mr. Wu laughed happily:

"Director Xu is joking, what do you mean by ours and yours? Our Xiajian Group is a state-owned enterprise, and it will belong to everyone in the future."

"Hehe..."

Xu Dong could only chuckle.

Mr. Wu quickly picked up the teacup and suggested: "Let's raise our glasses together. Let's use tea instead of wine to toast Director Xu's deep understanding of justice."

"Cheers!"

Next, the two sides began preliminary negotiations.

"Mr. Wu, let's be frank. How much are you going to offer?"

Mr. Wu did not evade the question and gave an offer on the spot: "Huimin Real Estate, we are willing to purchase 30% of your shares for 6 billion yuan; as for the Fast 8 Hotel, the price is 4 billion, which adds up to exactly 10 billion."

"Too little." Xu Dong shook his head.

"What's less?" Mr. Wu asked.

"All of them are less."

Xu Dong paused for a moment and then said:

"Let's talk about Huimin Real Estate first. As far as I know, Huimin Real Estate made a profit of 500 million yuan last year alone. In addition to the undeveloped land of more than 28,000 acres and thousands of rented shops, 6 billion is too little, right?"

"Director Xu, you can't calculate it like this."

"Then how should it be calculated?"

Xu Dong said aggressively.

Mr. Wu took a sip of tea: "Let's talk about the more than 28,000 acres of land first. Most of them are mountainous and hilly. No more than 4,000 to 5,000 acres can be truly developed."

"Five thousand acres is not a small amount."

"Of course, we calculate one acre at 100,000 yuan, so 5,000 acres is only 1 billion yuan."

"One hundred thousand per acre? Mr. Wu, did I hear it right?"

Xu Dong showed an exaggerated expression.

"Ahem..." Mr. Wu pretended to cough, "Director Xu, don't worry, the land is owned by our company, so the price doesn't matter, the key is to look at the company's benefits."

After all, it involves his own interests, Mr. Cai couldn't help but interrupt and said: "Mr. Wu, you are changing the concept, right? If these 5,000 acres of land are sold to other companies, one acre will definitely be 500,000 yuan."

"Mr. Cai, these lands belong to Huimin Real Estate, you have no right to buy and sell."

Xu Dong waved his hand: "Mr. Wu, please continue."

Let's talk about the quibbles later. The most important thing at the moment is to build the big framework first.

"As for those shops, to be honest, they are indeed a good asset, but they are only worth 1 billion at most. Huimin Real Estate's valuation is about 10 billion, and our 6 billion is already a premium acquisition."

Xu Dong finally gave in. No wonder Mr. Wu can sit in this position today. This ability to confuse right and wrong is really amazing.

"Okay, let's put Huimin Real Estate aside for now. What about the Kuai 8 Hotel? Such a large piece of land, so many intact buildings, a mere 4 billion, how can you say it?"

The total construction area of ​​the Kuai 8 Hotel is more than 1.5 million square meters, and even if it is a house, it can be sold for more than 10 billion yuan.

"Director Xu, calm down first and listen to me slowly explain it to you."

"Okay, I'm listening, please go ahead."

"Hancheng University, uh, that is, your Kuai 8 Hotel, is a bit remote.

The housing price in the urban area is just over 10,000, and yours is at most 5,000, plus many of them are old houses, so it's even harder to sell them at a high price."

The urban area mentioned by Mr. Wu actually refers to the 17,000 acres of land that has been developed.

"Impossible? Our park has such a good environment, and it's only a dozen minutes away from the city. It's impossible, right?"

"Director Xu, you can't rely on your imagination for everything."

"Well, I'll have someone spread the news later. I really don't believe that such a good house can't be sold?"

Xu Dong's stubborn temper came up.

Mr. Wu quickly comforted him: "Director Xu, don't be impulsive. You are a commercial real estate, not a residential real estate. You can't sell it just because you want to."

"Four billion is impossible anyway."

Xu Dong said firmly.

"Okay, then you give me a number, and I'll go back to the meeting to study it."

"Okay, Huimin Real Estate is 15 billion, and Fast 8 Hotel is 12 billion, a total of 27 billion."

Xu Dong directly quoted his psychological price.
