Chen Mu and Zhang Jiahui met on the same day.
After Zhang Jiahui received his call, he immediately slipped out of the hotel to meet him.
After listening to Chen Mu's narration, Zhang Jiahui thought for a while and said, "Let me help you inquire about this matter. I happen to have a friend in the District Government Mansion in that district, so I can ask you what is going on here. One thing."
Chen Mu and Zhang Jiahui are also not polite: "Okay, please help me to ask quickly, it is best to get the exact information, the farmers will not call for price increases for no reason, and we will not leave any room for negotiation. There must be something tricky in it."
Zhang Jiahui went to the side to make a phone call, and came back to sit down after a while: "My friend said to help me find out, and call me back if you have any news."
"Thanks!"
Chen Mu looked at Zhang Jiahui the same way, and said with a smile: "Not bad, you look good recently, you should have a good life, right?"
"Hee..."
Zhang Jiahui laughed and said, "I might be getting married soon."
"oh?"
"I can't keep making people anonymous like this. You know, I'm not such a person."
"You're a scumbag."
Chen Mu joked, "Congratulations."
"Then you must come to drink my wedding wine then."
"No problem... Well, you tell me a little earlier, so I have time to prepare."
The two started chatting, Zhang Jiahui suddenly asked: "Do you still remember that Lin Yuanchun?"
"The one who climbed the mountain with us?"
"Yes, that's him."
"Of course I remember, isn't he engaged in real estate in Shencheng? This person is not very good, um, not very authentic."
Of course Chen Mu remembered Lin Yuanchun.
The three members of the same team are Zhang Jiahui, Manny and Lin Yuanchun. This Lin Yuanchun is selfish and mean, not a good person.
Zhang Jiahui said: "He came to Hangzhou to do business, so he called me. I wanted to get to know everyone, so I specially met him and had a meal."
Chen Mu thought for a while and asked, "He came to you probably because he has something to ask you to help?"
"how do you know?"
"Of course I know, he's the kind of person who goes to the Three Treasures Palace for everything."
"It really is!"
Zhang Jiahui shook his head, and said helplessly: "He did ask me for help, um, he came here to acquire land in cooperation with another real estate developer, and he wanted me to introduce him to someone... Anyway, I will try my best to introduce him I don’t know what the final result will be, it may take some time for this matter to come to fruition.”
"Um."
Chen Mu nodded, and listened carefully to what Zhang Jiahui said, probably there will be a follow-up.
Zhang Jiahui said: "When Lin Yuanchun chatted with me, he wanted to contact you several times and sent you messages on WeChat, but you didn't reply to him."
Chen Mu smiled, but said nothing.
Although he added WeChat with the other party in Pakistan at that time, he has been in a state of "lost contact".
The main reason is that he feels that Lin Yuanchun's character is not very good and he can't get along with him, so he doesn't intend to have any contact with him.
Zhang Jiahui said: "He told me that he met Manny once on Hong Kong Island, and said that if there was a chance, the four of us could get together, but because you were in the northwest, he couldn't get in touch, and he didn't know what you were. There is time."
"Manny?"
Chen Mu and Manny are related.
However, it is limited to the stage of greeting each other, and there is little chatting at ordinary times.
In fact, the main reason is that Manny is too busy. She is in the investment industry and has a lot of business. Of course, she doesn't have time to chat online.
Chen Mu thought for a while, nodded and said, "If you really want to have a party, tell me in advance, I will definitely be there... well, anyway, it's just a matter of catching a plane, what's the difference between calling a Didi?"
Hearing what Chen Mu said, Zhang Jiahui smiled: "Okay, it's better that you get a private jet yourself in the future, so that I can get a chance too."
At this moment, Zhang Jiahui's phone rang.
Zhang Jiahui looked down and said, "It's my friend. I'll answer the phone first."
Chen Mu nodded.
Zhang Jiahui walked away to answer the phone, and came back after a while.
"Things figured out."
"How about it?"
"I heard from my friend that this time the farmers suddenly asked for a price increase because another party joined in and wanted to compete with you for land."
"The other side? Contesting land?"
Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Do you know who is competing with us?"
Zhang Jiahui shook his head: "I don't know yet, my friend is just an office worker in the district, and I can't get in touch with too many things, but it is said that there is a lot of background there, not only talked with farmers, but also with district officials. The government has already said hello."
That being said, that piece of land is hard to come by.
Chen Mu suddenly had a little understanding in his heart. It seemed that the opponent had great energy. No wonder the farmer dared to open his mouth like a lion with no room for maneuver.
After thinking about it, Chen Mu greeted Zhang Jiahui and asked him to wait a while, then walked to Hu Weiran's room and told Zhang Jiahui the news he had inquired about.
After hearing this, Hu already frowned, "If it's just like this, I probably won't be able to get this land, but..."
After a slight pause, he continued: "However, what I'm curious about now is that although this land is very suitable for us, the value lies there. The other party is competing with us for the land, and the price is too high. , completely unnecessary... well, what are they going to do with this land?"
When Chen Mu heard the words, he also thought of this.
In the case that they already had a 50% premium, doubling it, this price is a bit too ruthless, and they can't make money at all.
You must know that they decided to pay a 50% premium at the beginning, in order to be able to take root in the local area for a long time and have a good relationship with the farmers, so that in the future, the farmers will hate them if they buy the land cheaply, and cause them trouble, so they gave a high price.
Now the opponent who is fighting for land has doubled the price as soon as he comes. This is really a bit of an unreasonable price increase.
Chen Mu thought for a while and said, "Anyway, we probably won't be able to grab this land. The one with the highest price will get it. We'd better determine another land as soon as possible."
"It can only be the!"
Hu Jiran nodded helplessly, and began to make phone calls to explain the matter.
Chen Mu went back to his room and chatted with Zhang Jiahui for a while. The two made a dinner appointment before Zhang Jiahui left.
Chen Mu sat in the room on his stomach and thought for a while.
He decided to meet Zhao Zhiguo at that time and bring this matter up.
Although I don't know who the opponent is for the land grab, but he was able to greet the district government in advance, which already shows that he has a lot of energy.
Although their little Er Xianshu is a newcomer, they still have to find a "backer" so that no one can come and beat them with a stick.
…
Another day passed.
Chen Mu finally met Zhao Zhiguo.
This time, it was in the restaurant of a public guest house.
The environment of the restaurant looks ordinary, except for a little quietness, there seems to be nothing else.
But the taste of the restaurant is top-notch, at least its pine nut fish is the best among so many restaurants that Chen Mu has eaten.
"Xiao Chen, I'm sorry, there are several important meetings in the city these two days, so my time is very tight, and I can't have a good chat with you.
Today... I can only meet with you during the meal time. If there is anything important, just say it, and I will find a way to help you solve it. "
Zhao Zhiguo was still very easy-going when we met before, and he didn't beat around the bush when he talked.
Hearing what he said, Chen Mu also stated his intentions: "Uncle Zhao, thank you very much for taking the time to meet with me today. In fact, this is the case. I came to Kangzhou this time for our greenhouse fruit and vegetable project... "
After he finished talking about the difficulties he was currently encountering, he said again: "Actually, this kind of thing is for the highest bidder, and we have no complaints, but I heard that the other party said hello to the district government, and we have been kept in the dark." In the dark, we suddenly changed our minds when we were about to sign a contract. This greatly affected our work efficiency and caught us off guard. So, I would like to ask Uncle Zhao to help me find out what is going on with this matter Son."
After hearing what Chen Mu said, Zhao Zhiguo turned his head and said to the secretary beside him, "Call and find out what's going on."
The secretary went out on the phone...
Zhao Zhiguo didn't speak any more, just buried himself in his meal.
Chen Mu ate two chopsticks thoughtfully.
After a while, the secretary came back on the phone again.
After sitting down, he said to Zhao Zhiguo: "Leader, I have understood clearly, in the district...it was Executive Huang who greeted me."
"Executive Huang?"
Zhao Zhiguo fell silent.
He tapped the table lightly with his hand, then nodded, picked up the phone and dialed out.
"Old Huang, it's me, Zhao Zhiguo, yes, I want to ask you something, yes, it's about..."
This call was made in front of Chen Mu. After the call, Zhao Zhiguo put down the phone, looked at Chen Mu and asked, "Do you have a conflict with Ali Network?"
Ali network
Upon hearing this name, Chen Mu immediately thought of many things.
He thought for a while and replied, "It shouldn't be a contradiction, but... we may have a competitive relationship."
"Then that makes sense."
Zhao Zhiguo nodded: "Ali Network is trying its best to fight for that piece of land, and it is estimated that they are the ones who caused the farmers to raise your prices temporarily this time."
This time, everything became clear.
It turned out that Ali Network was tripping them up.
Although I don't know if it's a coincidence or intentional, and I don't know why Ali Network is preparing to compete for such a high price, but Chen Mu has a clear feeling that everything is back under control.
As long as the reason can be found, the next step will be easy, so as not to bump around like headless chickens.
Zhao Zhiguo asked: "Ali Network has always been our local company in Kangzhou. They have a different weight in the hearts of the people in Kangzhou, so since they want to fight for land, I think you should not be able to fight for that piece of land. , do you have any other options?"
"some."
Chen Mu roughly told Zhao Zhiguo about the candidate position.
After hearing this, Zhao Zhiguo pondered for a while, and said, "You can take the piece of land that you have chosen boldly and safely. I will greet the relevant departments in advance and try my best to cooperate with you."
After a slight pause, Zhao Zhiguo said again: "On behalf of Kangzhou, I welcome you to settle in."
"Thanks!"
Chen Mu hurriedly thanked him.
Zhao Zhiguo said again: "This time, take this opportunity to stay in Kangzhou for a few more days before leaving. It just so happens that after this meeting, that is, five days later, our city will organize a dinner party inviting entrepreneurs from all walks of life to attend. I can send you an invitation letter sometime, please come and participate.”
Hearing Zhao Zhiguo's request, Chen Mu thought for a while, and readily agreed.
Back at the hotel, Chen Mu told Hu Weiran what he had learned.
"So it's them!"
Hu Weiran suddenly understood: "It seems that they have already regarded us as competitors, and they are trying to trip us up!"
After a slight pause, Hu Jiran continued: "I think it's right for us to change the alternative plan this time. If the other party really leads us by the nose and bids a high price to compete with them for this land, we don't know what will happen in the future. What's the matter?"
Chen Mu nodded: "We're new here, so it's better to keep a low profile and be patient."
Hu Jiran is a person who has suffered a lot of setbacks in the workplace, and his mental toughness is stronger than the average person, so he has no objection to Chen Mu'er's words.
After the two discussed it, Hu Jiran said again: "Mr. Chen, although the news you brought back today made me no longer have any hope for that piece of land, but tomorrow we have already made appointments with the villagers and people from the district government. Let's meet, we still have to go."
Chen Mu thought for a while: "No problem."
the next day.
The two sides met again in the previous conference room.
"If you can't offer a higher price, we won't sell the land to you. How do you think about it?"
The leader of the farmer's face was full of pride, as if Chen Mu and the others were sure of him.
Hu already turned his head, and said to the office director of the District Government: "Director Wang, we came to invest with you sincerely. Everything was negotiated before, and even the letter of intent was signed. Now, please help Mediation."
Hu Jiran is also making the last effort, and at the same time is working hard to win the candidate land.
They have already made an appointment. If they can't negotiate here, they will sign an agreement with the transferor of the alternative land in the afternoon.
The office director said with a smile: "I can't do anything about this matter. The main thing is to discuss it with you. It's fine if you agree."
Hu Jiran said earnestly: "Director Wang, if we can win this piece of land and settle in your place, it will also be beneficial to you. We have explained our previous plan to you, and you should be very clear about it."
The director of the office waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this, it hasn't been implemented yet, you can talk about the land price first!"
Hearing what the other party said, Hu already turned his head and glanced at Chen Mu.
Chen Mu shook his head slightly, but did not speak.
Hu Jiran sighed lightly, and said regretfully, "Since this is the case, well, I declare that we give up this piece of land!"
The office director was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face, feeling that the situation was a little different from what he expected...
On the contrary, those peasants looked indifferent, as if you don't want to mean that you are at a disadvantage.
