Chapter 240 I really don’t know how much money my brother has
January 25, 2 p.m.
Fang Bai met with the vice mayor, Sen Nian and his four others in the chairman's office.
"Welcome to Xinghai Group." Fang Bai raised his lips with a smile, stood up, walked to the door, took the lead in shaking hands with Vice Mayor Shen Jianjun, and observed the guests at the same time.
Among these four islanders, the middle-aged man with glasses and gray hair on his temples should be Morinian, the chairman of Sendersha Co., Ltd.
The other three islanders, two men and one woman, aged in their thirties and forties, were slightly surprised when they saw Fang Bai: Is this the rich man from Hua with assets of more than two billion US dollars?
I heard that they were only in their early twenties and had only started their business for three years. They didn't believe it, with a hint of surprise and doubt in their eyes, but they still tried to suppress their inner thoughts and smiled enthusiastically.
Sen Nian kept smiling, and at the same time he was observing the young man in front of him with a spring breeze smile on his face and a calm expression.
Young people who can achieve such achievements are generally arrogant.
If the time to get rich is relatively short, you will still behave like a nouveau riche.
But he didn't see it in Fang Bai. He looked so natural and similar to the peers he often interacted with, which surprised him a little.
They came to Shanghai this time to investigate investments. After walking around Lujiazui, they found that the land they were interested in had been purchased by Xinghai Group from government officials.
Before, he didn't know Fang Bai and Xinghai Group.
After being introduced by local government personnel, he asked someone to investigate again and found that Xinghai Group and Fang Bai were very impressive. They had been in business for three years and had assets of more than 2 billion US dollars.
Moreover, Fang Baicai is only in his early twenties, and Xinghai Group is a local star company, and the local government attaches great importance to it.
This forced him to pay attention.
Therefore, when he expressed his intention to buy the land of Xinghai Building, the local government suggested that he change the location.
However, Sen Nian felt that if the price was higher, maybe Xinghai Group would sell it to them and hoped to meet.
Even if the deal doesn't work out, it's still good to see it.
It is not easy for the leaders of the Shencheng government to offend him. Let's see what Fang Bai thinks first. We hope that the three parties will cooperate for a win-win situation.
When the two parties met, everyone had a lot of thoughts.
Fang Bai threw a probe to Sen Nian and immediately understood the purpose of these people.
After understanding their thoughts and remaining calm, let’s talk.
Vice Mayor Shen Jianjun narrowed his eyes, pointed at Sen Nian next to him and introduced with a smile: "Mr. Fang, you are so polite, sorry for bothering you. This time I came to Xinghai Group, Mr. Sen Nian paid a special visit to Mr. Fang. I want to Let’s get acquainted with you.”
After the introduction by the deputy mayor, Sen Nian bowed, smiled and nodded, and said in English: "Hello, Mr. Fang, I have long admired your name."
Seeing that the other party was polite, Fang Bai extended his right hand and politely replied in English: "Hello, Mr. Sennian."
It was the turn of the other three people, and they bowed harder and longer. Fang Bai also shook hands with them one by one and smiled.
For them, although they had doubts about the source of Fang Bai's wealth, in just a short moment, they observed that Fang Bai spoke and behaved leisurely, his expression was calm, his English communication was fluent, and his temperament was extraordinary. In their country, he was also an upper-class person. , should be respected.
Even if the other person is an ordinary person, he should bow, but the degree is small and the time is very short.
After the two parties shook hands and exchanged greetings, Fang Bai motioned for everyone to sit on the sofa.
An employee from the human resources department helped everyone make tea. After pouring the tea, he consciously exited and closed the door.
She stayed only after the chairman asked her to stay, and she usually left the office voluntarily.
Island people rarely go around in circles when doing things. Sen Nian praised Xinghai Group from all aspects, then glanced at Fang Bai opposite, and then went straight to the topic:
"Mr. Fang, in addition to visiting and getting to know each other this time, I plan to purchase your company's commercial land at a premium of 15% of the current market price."
Shen Jianjun was startled when he saw Fang Baiwei, and helped him explain which piece of land it was, and said: "My suggestion is that Mr. Sen Nian should find another piece of land. Now that the Xinghai Building project has been decided, it would not be good to change it at will. This That's what I meant.
However, Mr. Sen Nian values the 90 acres of land more and is a little obsessed with it.
Our government will not interfere in the specific decision. We hope that the three parties will achieve a win-win situation.
If Xinghai Group is willing to exchange, we can exchange it with land at the same price as before. "
After hearing this, Fang Bai nodded to express his understanding.
The deputy mayor's attitude is actually that he is afraid of offending the Xinghai Group, so he stands neutral.
After all, the Xinghai Building project is finalized, but the investment project of the islanders may not be successful.
However, officials in this era paid more attention to international investors because the investments were in foreign exchange.
"15% premium? What is the specific price?"
Fang Bai was a little curious about the quotation. He bought it for 900 million yuan, which included a preferential price. The local government required the building height to exceed 600 meters.
At that time, the actual market price was 1.05 billion yuan, which was equivalent to a discount of 150 million yuan.
It had just been eight or nine months, and he didn't know how much the premium was.
At present, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower is entering the renovation stage, Xinghai Group has invested in Xinghai Plaza and Xinghai Tower, and the land prices in Lujiazui have increased a lot.
Fang Bai probed Sen Nian's thoughts again and soon knew his psychological price.
In the final analysis, I just felt that he would agree to the deal for the sake of money, with a maximum premium of 25%.
Sen Nian looked at Fang Bai, who had a calm look in his eyes, and felt less confident, but on the surface he said confidently: "158 million U.S. dollars!"
Fang Bai did a mental calculation and found out that based on the newly announced exchange rate, it would be worth approximately 1.38 billion yuan.
In 1994, the exchange rate was unified and a flexible peg to the US dollar was implemented, currently reaching 8.7:1.
Excluding the preferential compensation of 150 million yuan, the actual figure is 1.23 billion yuan, an increase of 330 million yuan.
If the premium is 25%, that is 1.5 billion yuan. Excluding preferential compensation, Xinghai Group can earn 450 million yuan.
But, he doesn't want to!
The site of the future World Financial Center is relatively far back, and the Xinghai Building is closer to the river, which means that it blocks most of the financial center buildings' view of the river.
Of course, there are other locations besides that area.
But Fang Bai was obsessed. He liked that piece of land and it was close to the future No. 14 subway line and Xinghai Plaza.
In addition, now that Xinghai Group is not short of money, he does not want to sell.
Unless the price given makes him very excited, and it's not like he can't live with the money.
Therefore, with a premium of only 25%, Fang Bai waved his hand directly: "Sorry, I have no intention of selling."
When Sen Nian heard this, a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in his eyes. Unexpectedly, Fang Bai refused without hesitation, indicating that the offer was too far from the other party's psychological price.
After thinking for a moment, he glanced at Fang Bai who was calm and composed. He gritted his teeth and reported his psychological bottom price: "Mr. Fang, the maximum premium is 25%, which is US$172 million. This is our greatest sincerity. We hope to succeed in cooperating with Xinghai Group." .”
If it's more, it won't be a good deal. There are still a lot of land in Lujiazui.
However, from the perspective of agglomeration effect, if Xinghai Group builds skyscrapers, it is better for their projects to be nearby.
Fang Bai stroked his fingers, his face was calm, he was not impressed, but he shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Sennian, this is not a question of money at all. It's useless if you offer 300 million US dollars. It's not that I don't want to cooperate with you.
Our company's project has been finalized. I very much welcome Mr. Sennian to invest in Huaguo to promote our country's economic development. "
When Shen Jianjun heard this, he was deeply gratified. Fang Bai was not willing to sell even if he earned hundreds of millions more yuan. He felt that Xinghai Group had sincerely decided to invest in skyscrapers.
There was a dull atmosphere in the air. In order to ease the atmosphere, he turned to look at Sennian and other islanders, kept a gentle smile, and advised: "Mr. Sennian, what Mr. Fang said is true. There are many treasures in Lujiazui, there is no need. Fight over that piece of land.”
Sen Nian took a serious look at Fang Bai's solemn expression, and after thinking about it, he understood. If it were him, he probably wouldn't be willing to do it.
I originally thought that the other party was greedy for money, but unexpectedly, I despised him.
He sighed secretly, stood up, squeezed out a smile and shook hands with Fang Bai: "It's a pity that the cooperation did not succeed. I hope we can cooperate in other fields in the future."
He didn't say anything to make the other party regret it. The other party's company was huge and there might be cooperation in the future.
Fang Bai also stood up, shook hands and smiled: "If there is a chance, we will. I hope you can find suitable investment opportunities in Huaguo."
Shen Jianjun said a few polite words and then led the islanders to leave the Xinghai Group.
Watching the islanders leave, Fang Bai twitched his lips and showed a strange smile.
When Sendarsha Co., Ltd. invests in buildings, it mainly wants to build hotels and office buildings. It is not willing for Japanese people to come and take away Hua people's money.
Xinghai Tower also develops office buildings and hotels, and both parties are considered competitors.
However, he can't stop Sendersha Co., Ltd. from entering. Without this foreign capital, there may be other foreign capital. At present, there are too few domestic companies with capital to invest in skyscrapers, except of course, the national team.
Forget it, this is not his business, just do your own thing. As long as there is fair competition, he is not afraid.
Checking the time, it was less than three o'clock, so he called the HR manager Lai Xia to come to his office.
After a while, Lai Xia sat respectfully at the desk and listened to the chairman's work arrangements.
“This year’s Spring Festival falls on February 10. We plan to have a holiday on February 3 in Beijing. We will go to work on the tenth day of the lunar month and have a total of 16 days of leave. The same applies to employees from other provinces. You can take more days off if you want.
I plan to hold the annual meeting on the afternoon of February 2nd and the New Year’s Eve event in the evening.
This is the first annual meeting held by our group. I plan to invite local government leaders and local media to participate, so it will be a grand event. There are only a few days left, so hurry up and make arrangements..." Fang Bai handed the printed rough plan to Manager Lai and asked her to make arrangements.
In the past, there was no place to host it, and it was difficult to find a hotel to organize a meal for thousands of people.
Manager Lai was slightly surprised when she heard this. She took the plan. After reading it, she asked some questions. After she had no questions, she quit. She wanted to make more detailed plans and then give them to the chairman for review. At the same time, she arranged for people to be responsible for this year. meeting.
For example, who will be the host? According to the chairman's wishes, it may be too late for employees to sign up to rehearse the program. Instead, local singers can be invited to sing a few songs and hold a lottery.
In the evening, he called his parents and asked them if they could come over and join in the fun. His father was the general manager of two companies and should participate.
Liu Fengqing received the call and after listening to her son's words, she felt that so many people were delaying business, so she complained: "Son, wouldn't it cost a lot to invite celebrities to such an annual party?"
Fang Bai rolled his eyes and could only explain patiently: "Mom, it's only held once a year, not every year. It doesn't cost much. I count money every day and my eyes are immersed in money.
If you want to invite singers, check the price first. If it's too expensive, forget it. You might as well give it to employees in the form of prizes.
Holding an annual meeting is not just about eating, drinking and having fun. I also hope to use this opportunity to promote corporate culture and enhance employee loyalty to the company. At the annual meeting, goals for the new year will also be proposed, hoping that all employees will work together and unify their thinking. , strive towards a common goal.
In addition, the media will be invited to report, which is a way for the group to promote externally and strengthen the company's influence. "
Liu Fengqing pondered for a moment and then asked: "Oh, it looks like this, do we want to go there?"
"You can come if you want. Dad serves as the general manager of two companies, so he must come to announce the plan for 1994. Senior leaders of construction companies and real estate companies must also come."
"Oh, that's it. Then I'll go with your dad." Liu Fengqing grinned, her smile blooming like a peach blossom, and then said to Fang Shi sitting on the sofa, "His dad, his son asked you to go to Shanghai to attend the annual meeting. You You have to prepare a speech, speak in front of thousands of people, are you afraid, hehe."
When Fang Shi heard this, his eyes widened slightly, he was a little nervous and excited. He didn't even prepare a speech. He took the phone and asked, "Son, I really want to go on stage to speak. I haven't prepared anything."
Fang Bai said: "If you don't want to go on stage to speak, you can just let the vice president do it. He will mainly talk about last year's gains and this year's plans, so that employees and the outside world can know the situation of each company."
"Okay then, I'll ask them to help write the manuscript and speak on stage. I'm still not afraid, but my Mandarin is not very accurate." Fang Shi still didn't want to miss the opportunity to perform like this. This is an achievement.
I imagined standing on the podium and speaking energetically, with my sharp eyes narrowed into a straight line and a smile on my lips.
After chatting for a while, I hung up the phone.
My sister Fang Tingting, who was sitting on the sofa listening to her parents talk, heard that her parents were going to Shanghai for an annual meeting. She shouted that she wanted to go too, saying that she was a professional photographer.
After all, she had never been to Shanghai. She just wanted to have fun and see her brother's company headquarters. She heard that the headquarters building was ten stories high and magnificent.
"Just go, I won't worry if I leave you alone at home."
"Yeah, great!"
Seeing her mother nodding, Fang Tingting jumped up excitedly. Her laughter like silver bells rippled in the room. She was happier than anyone else. Then she laughed again, her lips like a peaceful crescent moon, and she kept laughing, asking questions.
Just now, she didn't dare to answer her brother's call because she was afraid that he would ask her about her grades.
With her current grades, it is impossible to get into Shanghai University.
In July this year, she will also take the college entrance examination.
Her current results, ranking among the top fifteen fresh graduates, are the result of her parents paying tutors to give her extra lessons.
During the holidays, she still had to make up classes, which was so pitiful. Last semester, she didn’t even touch the SLR in the box.
What she didn't know was that Fang Bai had already arranged college for her, but he just didn't tell her.
As long as you pass the college score line, you can directly spend money to enter SJTU or repeat D.
Once I tell my sister in advance, I will probably stop studying hard and just play with her SLR all day long and take pictures everywhere.
A few days later, it was the afternoon of January 31st.
Eight people including Fang Bai's family, senior leaders of the Wencheng company, and ten bodyguards drove six cars, three Audis, a Mercedes, and two SUVs, and drove into Shanghai with great vigor.
Along the way, Fang Tingting looked at the scenery on the roadside curiously.
The next morning, the group arrived in Shanghai.
Fang Bai met his parents and company executives in the villa area of Yu Garden. After a brief meeting, Fang Bai arranged for everyone to live there.
The family must have lived in the villa, and the senior executives were arranged to live in the three houses in the Securities Center, which had been converted into company hotels. Some of the bodyguards who came with them were arranged to live in the employee dormitories of the Xinghai Group headquarters.
The family reunited, and there was an atmosphere of joy in the villa, especially Fang Tingting, who kept laughing and said that the villa here was quite good and she didn't want to go back to Wencheng after staying here.
After lunch, my parents and sister caught up on their sleep.
When the lanterns first came on, Fang Bai's family and Qin Shuyu had dinner together and went for a walk on the Bund.
After playing all night, Fang Bai took his family to the company the next morning, and the annual meeting was held in the company in the afternoon.
Fang Tingting just got out of the car and looked up at the majestic office building, slightly surprised: "Brother, this building is so beautiful. How much did it cost?"
"Students don't ask for money." Fang Bai rubbed his sister's hair and said to Qin Shuyu next to him, "Take this naughty boy for a walk. When you go to the workshop, pay attention to safety. I have something to deal with."
"Huh, you're the naughty one. I'm a good boy at home." Fang Tingting waved her brother's hand, raised the corner of her mouth to retort, then bared her teeth, took Qin Shuyu's arm, and winked, "Sister-in-law, let's Let’s play together.”
She is like a child who has not grown up, but she still knows that her brother has something to do and is too lazy to talk to him.
Qin Shuyu covered her mouth and was amused by the brothers and sisters' play, and said to Fang Bai, "Okay, if we don't get to the workshop, let's take a walk outside."
Fang Bai's parents also planned to take a look, knowing that their son was still busy, so they asked his son to ignore them.
Fang Tingting walked for a while, rubbed her legs, and found that the headquarters was really big!
"Sister-in-law, this factory is really big, much bigger than our school."
Qin Shuyu looked at her slightly surprised look and said with a smile: "That's right, there are one thousand acres here, and there is another thousand acres under construction next door. It's just the Chinese New Year holiday and the construction has stopped."
"Oh my God, isn't it said that there are two thousand acres? How much will it cost to build a project?"
Qin Shuyu helped Fang Bai organize the financial information, clarify the data, and said: "The first phase is more than 100 million, and the second phase budget is more than 300 million, not including equipment investment."
Fang Tingting's eyes widened and she was even more surprised and said: "Well, my brother is really rich!"
She knew that her family was rich and had no shortage of money to spend, but she didn't know how much money she had. Anyway, she was one of the richest people in Wencheng, and her classmates also said so.
"Giggle, don't you know how much money your brother has?"
"Hey, I don't know. Anyway, he didn't tell me, and my parents didn't tell me either. He goes to class all day long, so how can he pay attention to these things about him."
Qin Shuyu was startled for a moment, then burst out with a smile, blooming like a green lotus.
Well, it’s normal not to know.
Fang Tingting saw her sister-in-law smiling and tried to correct her: "Really, I really don't know how much money he has."
Qin Shuyu nodded: "Haha, if we hold the annual meeting in the afternoon, you will probably know how much money your brother has and how profitable the group is." (End of Chapter)
