What does it feel like to be worth hundreds of millions overnight

If someone were to interview Lin Jingzhe now, he might answer: "It feels like maybe a small goal has been accomplished :)"

The company that took over this land is the largest one in the country’s real estate industry today, but even so, this land king will become the largest project they have developed so far. It is conceivable that they will have a great deal of interest in the future development of Yan City. How promising.

After all the formal procedures were completed, Shiku Lane fell to other homes. Lin Jingzhe traded them for a thick stack of tax invoices, and nine-figure purchases in the bank.

After deducting the loan and interest that had been approved with the bank before, and adding the loan that could not be used up, Lin Jingzhe was worth hundreds of millions.

Although inflation has begun to take shape, for example, the income level of workers has nearly doubled compared to the mid-to-late 1980s, but in this era where a few hundred yuan a month can be regarded as a high salary, the meaning of one hundred million There is absolutely a fundamental difference from the later generations. In more than 20 years, the commercial and economic development of this land is approaching maturity, and there may be countless small entrepreneurs whose net worth can reach this amount, but at present, even in Yan City, the current assets can reach nine figures. There are very few companies.

Land King's transaction was a listing transaction that shocked the real estate industry. The unprecedented transaction amount made countless small and medium-sized enterprises sway in their hearts whenever they thought of the giants who kept raising prices on the auction day. Together with the destination and development process of this much-anticipated land, the Yu real estate has also become the focus of a new round of attention.

Lin Jingzhe didn't give Deng Mai much time to digest this information, so he pushed this poor little guy who had just graduated from the economic training class to the front. Deng Mai is therefore fortunate to be the first employee since the establishment of the real estate company, and probably the youngest "general manager" of all real estate companies.

Although it is said to be the general manager, there is nothing for him to make decisions in the company at present. Lin Jingzhe is mainly to experience him and let him feel the real atmosphere of the shopping mall that is different from the gentle words in the books.

This is the most suitable time for classrooms. Before starting the real estate project, most of what Deng Mai needs to do is to participate in some irrelevant entertainment activities. During this time, he can have countless The opportunity to hit the wall, and the mistakes made basically will not have much impact on the company's operations. Lin Jingzhe had no choice but to cultivate such a newcomer. Of course, he hoped that an old man who had been in the market for many years would be able to fight alongside him in the early days of the company's establishment. What the country lacks most in time is talent, and it is more difficult to meet a reliable person than to reach the sky. And the initial stage of a company's establishment is the weakest time, and the veterans recruited at this time can even affect the life of a company to a large extent. Strangers don't know the root or the second, the Yan city is too deep, and in case the recruit is a wolf with ambition. , then it is very likely that it will be harmed by it again.

Lin Jingzhe was already afraid of human nature, and all the misfortunes in his previous life started from this, and it was inevitable that he would become cautious in this regard.

But fortunately, Deng Mai did not disappoint him in terms of ability.

Some people's communication skills may really be innate. Just like Deng Mai, on the premise that Lin Jingzhe's assets have not been fully digested, he is almost like a duck on the shelves, but he has performed well in every occasion. He was tight-lipped and thoughtful, and it was even rarer that he was not afraid of battles or stage fright. He was clearly facing a group of old shopping mall fritters as old as his own father, but he could deal with it freely anytime, anywhere, no matter how soft and hard the other party was. They didn't reveal a bit of Lin Jingzhe's cards and details. He has a unique and energetic composure that belongs to young entrepreneurs similar to Hu Shaofeng and Fang Wenhao. It is a completely different style from Lin Jingzhe and Xiao Chi. Those who are more able to hold the scene, but I have to say, at the entertainment table, the type of exquisite and humorous is far more convenient than the unpredictable.

A land king transaction will start from the real estate and instantly push it into everyone's sight. This is of course a good thing, and Lin Jingzhe deliberately facilitated it. But there are also downsides, such as endless dinner parties, and everyone in the industry is curious about the details of this company that seems to have appeared out of thin air.

Of course, the real giants will not end, but those who are in the game may not be underestimated. The most important thing in the market is the network, and it is impossible to walk alone.

Lin Jingzhe brought Deng Mai to two more important events. After seeing that Deng Mai had adapted well to those temptations, he was relieved and would not attend any occasions that had to be his appearance.

After all, in the early days of the company's establishment, he had more and more important work to do, and he had to take care of his studies. Time was running out.

******

After the land king of Shiku Lane sold, Lin Jingzhe still had another piece of land, which was a small triangular piece of land surrounded by residential buildings on the roadside of No. 2 Middle School.

This piece of land is not as eye-catching as the land king with an area of 500,000 square meters, but it is the first piece of land that Lin Jingzhe started in Yan City, and it is also the most important springboard for all his success today.

There were many reasons for him to look at this land at first, one of which was that it was small and cheap, and it was the least expensive piece of collateral to borrow from the bank. The overall area of the triangular land is only over 90,000 square meters, which is a very embarrassing number. Contemporary residents still live in a collective mode. Forget the winding alleys and alleys in Yan City, the communities in other cities are basically dozens of times. million square feet. Therefore, most of the normal residential commercial houses will not be too small in scale. After all, public facilities such as residential buildings and greening require land. Together, they can easily use up to 100,000,000,000 square meters.

90,000 square meters is too cramped, and the land still presents such a strange triangle, which is why it is so cheap that few people care about it.

But in fact, Lin Jingzhe had another very important reason to buy it, and it was for this reason that he would give priority to similar companies when choosing a financial partner.

After the new planning policy came out, this reason no longer needs to be guessed.

After the land king took action, the number of companies that have recently asked Deng Mai about their intention to sell the triangular land is ten times more than before, and the price has more than quadrupled from the more than six million yuan at the time of purchase. The reason is that in the new planning blueprint, Erzhong Road, which is connected to another urban area, has become the biggest winner, and it is planned to be the center of the street-facing business district.

More than 90,000 square meters, building a residential building is definitely not enough.

But it is more than enough for building commercial buildings.

******

Centrino's five million investment is now also rising. When he first borrowed the funds, Lin Jingzhe signed a very generous contract, and even put forward a very unbelievable regulation, that is, if the development of the triangle land is carried out in the future, then the development project on this land will be It will be deemed to be jointly held with Centrino, and each party will hold 50% of the shares at that time.

Hu Shaofeng was most impressed by this regulation. He once doubted whether Lin Jingzhe, who proposed this clause, was out of his mind. After all, this was almost voluntarily putting money into the borrower's pocket. Centrino only took out five million. It is normal business to use this money to collect interest, but to say that it can be exchanged for shares is definitely a pie in the sky.

Especially now that the north of the city is different from the past, Hu Shaofeng is almost certain that Lin Jingzhe will sell the land sooner or later. After all, the most difficult part of the land project process is the development. Unless he is a fool, why should he give half of the results to Centrino

But he soon realized that he guessed wrong again. It seems that as long as it is a decision linked to Lin Jingzhe and his brother Xiao, he always guesses wrong.

After the land king's transfer, it began to meet again with the management of Centrino, two companies with good cooperative relations. But now and then, starting from the real estate industry is no longer the new-generation small company that was just established a few months ago without any basis. Without Fang Wenhao to accompany, Lin Jingzhe only brought Deng Mai, and he was still able to share the same meaning in various senses. Centrino is on an equal footing.

After Hu Shaofeng asked about the intention to sell the Triangle Land, Lin Jingzhe gave him a shocking negative answer.

He has no plans to sell the triangle, and has already drawn up a full development plan.

Under Hu Shaofeng's dazed gaze, he smiled and changed the object of the negotiation, and said to Xiao Chi, "Of course, there is a lot of cooperation in the follow-up projects of the Triangle Land. I think it is better to negotiate with President Xiao in advance."

As he spoke, he controlled his gaze not to glance at the coat rack next to him. There was a familiar leather coat hanging on it. When we first met today, seeing Xiao Chi wearing Lin Jingzhe was very hard to say. He felt that the other party should have completely forgotten the origin of this dress, otherwise he would not wear it openly to see him like this.

It was very warm in the restaurant. After taking off his coat, Xiao Chi, who was wearing a gray-green striped cardigan, leaned in the chair and quietly watched Lin Jingzhe chat with Hu Shaofeng. He keenly caught Lin Jingzhe glancing at his leather jacket several times, and he felt very relieved. Although he was a little dissatisfied that Lin Jingzhe didn't wear the clothes he bought for him, he was a magnanimous person. I won't be stingy with this kind of detail.

Your character is really great! Lin Jingzhe must have felt it too. When ordering today, he even ordered a large plate of red date cake!

But he is still so restrained! Look so calm!

Lin Jingzhe came prepared this time. He even brought a new contract and a plan, and handed them to Boss Xiao, who sat there for a long time without speaking and seemed not interested in this meal at all. .

After Xiao Chi looked at the fully formulated contract, his attention was finally diverted from Lin Jingzhe.

He looked at it with a serious look, didn't say anything, just handed the two stacks of papers to Hu Shaofeng next to him.

Hu Shaofeng jumped up after taking a few glances: "Mr. Lin, you didn't say that before!"

Lin Jingzhe smiled and said, "Mr. Hu, don't worry, we'll talk about it after reading it. Although we are in business, even if we don't cooperate, it will definitely not hurt your company."

The more Hu Shaofeng looked, the less calm he became. After he learned that Lin Jingzhe didn't plan to sell the land, he thought he was going to take a big advantage, but now he realized that Lin Jingzhe was far more sophisticated than he thought.

This second contract is almost identical to the first one except for the same percentage of shares.

And he was very righteous, and directly proposed that he could have waited for the money and Centrino to contribute with the first contract, but it was not a small force.

Beginning with the real estate decision to build a commercial-writing complex on the triangular land with an area of less than 100,000 square meters, this is a brand-new concept in contemporary times. A total of 120,000 square feet.

120,000 square meters, where does the land come from? All the corners and corners of the triangle are counted together, and they can only make up 95,000 square meters.

Lin Jingzhe smiled and said confidently: "Isn't the No. 5 land next to the triangular land still in the hands of Centrino, I think the small circle of residential buildings that surround the land can also be relocated, so the area is not enough? The triangle has just turned into a rectangle."

Rectangular land is indeed the most suitable land for building high-rise buildings, but why? Okay, is Centrino real estate sick? He had to cut out a large piece of the land in his hand and give it to the project that already had a stake.

There is something even more extreme. Lin Jingzhe directly used the right construction party who had just established the real estate and had not cooperated with it as an excuse to transfer at least two-fifths of the subsequent development and construction of this complex to Centrino Real Estate.

Hu Shaofeng was dumbfounded, was Lin Jingzhe daydreaming

He put down the contract, and after a long time he said with difficulty: "Mr. Lin, are you kidding us?"

He said so, and glanced at the first seat again, Xiao Chi obviously entered a state of thinking, was moving the beads, slightly lowered his eyes, and looked at Lin Jingzhe with unclear meaning.

Hu Shaofeng interprets the content of that gaze as "scrutiny".

Lin Jingzhe spread his hands naturally, "The contract is here, the terms are clear, how can this be a joke? If Centrino agrees to the cooperation matters, everyone can sign the contract at the dinner table today."

Hu Shaofeng was speechless. He felt that he had heard the funniest joke this year.

Xiao Chi also said, "Mr. Lin, if I remember correctly, the first contract we signed is still valid, right?"

Lin Jingzhe nodded, "Of course."

Hu Shaofeng couldn't help but interject: "So since Centrino already owns 50% of the shares of Triangle Land, why do we have to pay so much for free in the future?"

"Hu always doesn't forget." Lin Jingzhe laughed more and more kindly when he heard the words, he even took a sip of water from the glass on the table, and after putting down the glass, he continued slowly, "The project I proposed is now It's just an idea, the complex building hasn't started to be built yet."

Hu Shaofeng was stunned when he heard the words, and his head, which was filled with all kinds of complaints just now, regained consciousness. He pondered for a while, and immediately understood what Lin Jingzhe meant, and he was suddenly at a loss.

Lin Jingzhe added with a smile: "Since the development project of Triangle Land has not yet started, of course the 50% stake you mentioned is just an idea, Mr. Hu, are you right?"

Hu Shaofeng couldn't resist his question about the needle hidden in the cotton. He could only cough and take a sip of wine with his eyes down.

He finally understood that there is no such thing as a pie in the world to take advantage of it for nothing! Lin Jingzhe started planning his current successor when the first contract was signed.

Xiao Chi didn't seem so surprised, he even showed a smile when he heard this rogue's words: "So Mr. Lin means that if the second contract cannot be signed, the real estate company will give up the plan that has been made so far. The location of the second middle road is so good, don't you think it's a pity to sell it?"

Hu Shaofeng thought with relief, that's it!

"Why sell it? Of course, I still have to keep developing it myself." It's just that Hu Shaofeng still underestimated the shamelessness of this opponent. Lin Jingzhe didn't even blushed or was out of breath, and even used a tone of "I'm doing it for your own good". He replied, "I have an imperative for the triangle, so I came to discuss follow-up cooperation with Centrino so sincerely. After all, the development strength of Centrino is here, and everyone can see how well the Dongtai Community is built, right? We started with real estate comparison. The scale of yours is too insignificant, of course I can’t ask for everyone to work together, otherwise what I bring today will not be a project, but a liquidated damages.”

After he finished speaking, he laughed happily as if he had told a very funny joke, and his big, bright eyes narrowed into a crescent shape.

However, Hu Shaofeng was even tensing his scalp. Lin Jingzhe's words reminded him that there was still a breach of contract. In the cooperation regulations of the Triangle Land, it was stated that there was indeed a liquidated damages item in the contract. The amount was determined by Lin Jingzhe himself. It was a loan. Three times the amount, 15 million, the liquidated damages were quite a lot. At that time, Hu Shaofeng thought that Lin Jingzhe was stupid and sincere, and he dug a hole and jumped by himself.

But until now, he didn't realize that the stupid and sincere person was probably himself. Although the liquidated damages of 15 million are a lot, when compared to the benefits of the subsequent development of the north of the city, it is really too insignificant.

Looking at Lin Jingzhe's persuasive and harmless face, Hu Shaofeng tried for a long time but couldn't open his mouth. Mixed so weirdly.

Until another laughter sounded, it came from Xiao Chi, who had always been calm.

Xiao Chi rarely smiles so clearly, even showing a row of neat teeth. His sharp eyes narrowed slightly when he smiled, but when he looked at Lin Jingzhe, his vision was clearer and brighter than before.

He smiled and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Lin, you are really sincere."

Lin Jingzhe shook hands with him, feeling that his hand was instantly grabbed by the other's warm big palm. He didn't take it seriously. It's normal for Xiao Chi to be angry. Any business owner who believes that he has the upper hand but finally finds out that the truth is not the case, even if the follow-up cooperation is indeed very profitable, it is impossible to accept the new cooperation regulations so willingly. Thinking of the previous conflicts between the two sides, he smiled more and more clearly, and even scratched the palm of the other's palm with his fingers slightly provocatively: "Then wish us a happy cooperation?"

Xiao Chi grabbed the messy hand that was obviously one size smaller than him. The itch in the palm of his hand seemed to climb up to the top of his heart. He obviously paused for a second before restraining his smile: "Happy cooperation."

On the way back, Hu Shaofeng sighed on the grass for a long time. It was hard to imagine that this cooperation, which he thought would be completely flawless, would eventually develop so turbulently. He read the regulations in the new contract almost word by word, for fear that Lin Jingzhe would dig some traps in it again, waiting for an opportunity to trick them again.

He didn't dare to underestimate the partner who looked pure and innocent like a little white rabbit at this moment, and when he thought of Xiao Chi's various unusual reactions that just followed the laugh and was obviously stuck, he felt that Xiao Chi must be very angry. .

He, a person as powerful as Brother Xiao, has always been so smart that he seems to know everything. Is this the first time a boat has capsized in the gutter

He stepped on the accelerator more and more cautiously, carefully controlling the direction, and for fear of angering Xiao Chi's thunder, he could only comfortably comfort him: "Brother Xiao, I think the plan for Lin Jingzhe's complex is actually quite good. After all, it would be a pity to give up 50% of the share, let’s give some manpower and some land, and the final return will be big, right?”

He looked at Xiao Chi, whose curly hair was swaying from side to side by the gust of wind rushing in, his face was expressionless and the car window was lowered in the rearview mirror. It was thrown on the other side of the seat without hesitation. Being suppressed by the other party's completely different domineering attitude than usual, Hu Shaofeng concluded cautiously: "We are not angry!"

Xiao Chi didn't even look at him, he leaned against the back of the seat, clenched the fist of his right hand, and was touched by the unexplained itch in his heart, and his whole body was so hot that it was about to burn.

******

Recalling Xiao Chi's stiff back when he left, Lin Jingzhe raised his eyebrows and exhaled. He put away his smirk and returned to calm, and put the contract with the official seal in the bottom of the box.

The construction of the complex was an idea he had conceived since he saw the triangle. After all, the location of this piece of land is too special. It is on the side of Erzhong Road, which has not changed its direction for decades. It may not take even two minutes to walk from the subway entrance opened at the intersection in later generations. It is absolutely profitable to use it to build a commercial building.

Lin Jingzhe had never thought about developing civil housing projects. The rules of shopping malls are very helpless, especially the real estate industry, which has collective unspoken rules. Building residential houses, whether he wants to or not, will inevitably be pulled into the ranks of unscrupulous developers who raise house prices in the future. Lin Jingzhe, who had really experienced that era, knew better than anyone how hard it would be to find a house in Yan City in a few decades. His income is already high among the working class, and it still takes nearly a lifetime of hard work for that corner, and ordinary people will only have more hardships.

He may not have the power to stop this change, so it is still okay to let himself not join forces in advance.

And the profits of commercial real estate are actually no less than those of civilian use.

The biggest feature of commercial buildings such as shopping malls and office buildings is that they are not profitable by sales, but are long-term profitable and hold property rights by means of leasing.

The unit price of broilers may be more expensive than eggs, but the latter will be in a long-term output state, and in the next few decades, the rental price of commercial housing in Yan City will not be inferior to that of residential housing. .

The north of the city is developing rapidly, but looking at the entire city, there are still very few who can be blessed with a unique location like a triangle.

As for the rogue and Centrino real estate cooperation, this is also a last resort. He is also new to the real estate industry. He may be able to use the prophet to come out on top when he encloses the land. He is really just a layman when it comes to subsequent development and construction. In the first development project, if there is any problem, it is very likely that the bad influence will continue. In this regard, Centrino, which has developed several real estate projects with excellent results, is definitely an excellent teacher.

Lin Jingzhe planned to keep the golden hen in Triangle Land in advance, and it might become the first veteran chicken in his egg factory to be kept in captivity.

Thinking of this, Lin Jingzhe felt a little craving for chicken.

******

Zhou's mother directly stewed an old hen with crispy skin and rotten meat for him, and put a lot of mushrooms in it.

Zhou's mother just pity him for his hard work in school, but she doesn't know about his business. Deng Mai's mouth is very strict, and he understands the sense of proportion. He has his own steel scale for what he should say and what he should not say. Although he has always lived with Zhou's parents, he never discloses the business in Lin Jingzhe's hands. This confidential object even Including Gao Sheng and Zhou Haitang.

The Zhou family's parents also did not find out that he was not in school. After the real estate industry officially became famous, Deng Mai had to deal with countless invitations every day. Lin Jingzhe deliberately trained him, and he did not pick and choose, and let him go as often as possible, so Deng Mai hardly had time to stay at home, and went to various gatherings every day.

In Zhou's mother's opinion, he is the hardest one. He has classes every day and doesn't even have to rest on Saturdays and weekends!

Fortunately, Zhou's mother's sigh was purely a sigh, and she quickly put it aside after the sigh. She has been very busy recently: the food stall was booming last year, and the couple made a lot of money. Yan Shi made up his mind to buy a storefront. Some time ago, he searched all over the city and finally found a location with the right size and price, and started the decoration after the sale. Seeing that summer is coming soon, and the decoration is about to end, Gao Sheng, who was contacted over there, his father also quit his job at the Qunnan construction site and is about to leave for Yan City. In recent days, the couple has no time for the booth behind Wutong University. Going to set up, going back and forth all day to the new store that is about to open to help with finishing work.

Now the store has begun to enter the table and chairs furniture, and at this time it is indispensable to watch people, otherwise the porters will not pay attention, and they will definitely bump into a lot!

After the chicken soup was simmered, she warned her twice, and Zhou's mother hurriedly left with her bag. Deng Mai came back with her, and said that they met downstairs when they entered the house.

The mushroom chicken soup has a strong aroma. After running outside for a day and drinking a lot of wine, Deng Mai was so greedy that his saliva was left, so he hurriedly filled a bowl of small sips and scalded it, and then he thought of chewing dried shiitake mushrooms. Right.

He took out an invitation letter from his bag and handed it to Lin Jingzhe. He said, "Brother Lin, the meeting arranged by Times Group is located in Changqing Province, are you going?"

When Lin Jingzhe heard the Times Group, he became a little more serious. After looking at it, he realized that it was an activity similar to an alliance inspection.

There is a small alliance in the real estate industry in Yan City. Led by Times Group, a leading domestic enterprise, it has absorbed many companies with good reputation, and shared resources or relationships with each other for mutual benefit. Xiao Chi's Centrino Real Estate is one of them. After the development and growth of later generations, it replaced the Times Group and became the uncrowned king of this alliance. At present, they seem to have entered through the project of Dongtai Community.

To say that Deng Mai's communication skills are really awesome. It stands to reason that there is no project that has been developed since the real estate, even if it is sold for several hundred million yuan, it does not meet the prerequisite for entering this small league. Conditions, but after a month of experience abroad, he was stunned to have a strong friendship with many developers he met at the wine table, so that Qi Qi Real Estate was jointly recommended by seven or eight alliance members.

In order to deepen cooperation, this kind of small group often organizes activities that can bring everyone together. Most of them eat and drink in the name of official business. The news of the high-speed construction shows that the future achievements of Changqing Province will be limitless. It is reasonable to go there for inspection, but it will take two whole days and one night in Changqing Province...

Lin Jingzhe thought about it and asked, "What is the scale of this inspection? Will everyone go?"

"Everyone will go. Even the senior management of Times Group has clearly stated that they will go. I heard that even President Xiao will be there at Centrino Real Estate. It should be a relatively large scale." Deng Mai, a gossip king, has already inquired about the gossip in advance. be clear.

The small circle culture is applicable in any industry, and the real estate industry is no exception. Almost all members of the alliance will attend events, and it is really not good to be absent or only let Deng Mai go.

Lin Jingzhe thought for a while, put down the invitation letter and nodded: "Okay, I will go to school tomorrow to ask for a leave, you go with me."

Deng Mai immediately agreed, and said again: "By the way, I met Gao Sheng when I went home yesterday afternoon. He didn't know your timetable. He went to the school to find you and couldn't find it. Let me ask you after seeing you and say they are interested. The team leader, Wu Wangfei, has already prepared the materials, but I don't know when I can meet you and discuss cooperation in person."

Lin Jingzhe was reminded of this matter by this reminder. He took a sip of soup, thought for a moment, and found that there seemed to be no class in the afternoon: "You can call Gao Sheng's dormitory later and ask Gao Sheng to take him there... The teahouse behind my academy, six o'clock."

Deng Mai was very dedicated and took out a small notebook and recorded it with his own dog crawling characters. His dark face seemed to have matured a lot recently, and his eyes behind the lenses were sharp.

He hesitated for a while, and asked worriedly: "Brother Lin, do you really want to invest in that Internet? I thought it was a small business of 100 to 200,000 yuan at first."

Lin Jingzhe raised his hand and patted his head, pressing down on his shrewd face made by his glasses, not to mention his psychological pressure.

"Don't stare at me." Lin Jingzhe recalled the project that Gao Sheng mentioned, shook his head, but couldn't give a definite answer, after all, he still didn't know whether it was reliable or not, "Wait until we meet. talk later."
