After arriving at the venue, Li Mu realized how grand the summit was.
The main banquet hall, which is at least several thousand square meters, has been completely emptied, and a huge stage has been set up in front. The entire stage background and lighting effects are basically comparable to those big brand conferences that Li Mu has seen in later generations. The first three rows of the stage They are all matched with tables and chairs with nameplates, and there are at least sixty designated seats with names. Behind them, there are thirty or forty rows of hundreds of seats at a time according to the scale of twenty people in each row. The seats are almost full now.
A beautiful etiquette lady stood every one meter on both sides of the banquet hall, and waiters shuttled between them carrying various drinks. Although the summit had not started yet, it was already bustling with people. If it weren't for Li Mu's name badge With the seat numbers, it was not easy for him to find Song Liang and the others among so many people.
As if watching a concert, Li Mu found his corresponding seat according to the number on his badge. Song Liang, Du Fei, and Chen Fang were already sitting here. Li Mu's seat was right between Song Liang and Du Fei.
As soon as Li Mugong sat down, Song Liang asked him: "Your girlfriend's uncle must have been promoted, right? I think Secretary Liu of the Construction Committee brought him to the meeting this time."
Li Mu shrugged: "I don't know very well, so I didn't ask in detail." After saying that, Li Mu took out Wei Lan's business card, handed it to Song Liang and asked him: "Do you know anything about Juncheng Real Estate?"
Song Liang took the business card, glanced at it, and said in surprise: "I'll go, Weilan! Do you know her?"
Li Mu nodded: "I think we know her, I've only met her twice." After that, Li Mu asked again: "Do you know her?"
Song Liang smiled and said: "I don't know him, I just know that Weilan is very famous in Shanghai. Jinling is not far from Shanghai, and it is a large area. I used to go with Tianming's father in Jinling when I was with him. I went to Shanghai to communicate with local real estate developers several times. Tianming’s father wanted to enter the Shanghai market at that time, but he couldn’t find a suitable entry point. He wanted to cooperate with Juncheng Real Estate, but Juncheng Real Estate failed to take a fancy to him. We chatted several times at that time, and Wei Lan was there during one of them."
As he spoke, Song Liang roughly introduced: "Wei Lan is a very beautiful woman and very famous in the Shanghai business community. Juncheng Real Estate was founded by her father. She joined as soon as she graduated, and she also made a lot of achievements. There are not many people in Shanghai who covet her, even that boy Tianming once had a crush on her."
Li Mu was stunned: "Is there still such a thing?"
"Why are you lying to me?" Song Liang handed the business card back to Li Mu and said, "This woman is very powerful. There are countless people chasing her. It seems that no one has succeeded. However, their family has been in some trouble recently. I heard that his father Involved in a corruption case, someone wanted to bring down Juncheng Real Estate behind the scenes. Weilan looked for help everywhere, and even gave 50% of the shares as a binding reward, but no one in the entire East China real estate industry was willing to take action."
Li Mu raised his eyebrows: "Is it so serious?"
Song Liangliang nodded: "Three large-scale real estate projects are about to be completed and closed, and the bank loans worth billions are about to be repaid, and the risks are relatively high. What's more, the person behind them is the Lanke Group, and Lanke is the East China Real Estate Group. One of the top companies in the country, who would take such a big risk to offend Lan Ke for her."
This is the first time Li Mu has heard that the court has seized an entire company's real estate under construction. This method is really cruel. Thinking about it, I feel chills on my back. I even invested billions of dollars in land development and waited for it to be recovered after the opening of the market. Cost, being seized by the court at this time is simply fatal. It can be seen that although the real estate industry is very profitable, the risks are also scary. For smaller real estate companies, if they want to make a big move, all bets will be on it. Pressure, there are countless jackals, tigers and leopards watching from behind, always looking for opportunities to pounce on prey, so many real estate companies take huge risks when pursuing big projects. Once they lose, they will be immediately beaten back to before liberation.
Seeing Li Mu's surprised expression, Song Liang said from the side: "The real estate industry seems to be hugely profitable on the surface, but it is actually quite dangerous. If it weren't for you and Chen Ze, I wouldn't dare to come to Yanjing to develop if I had the courage to do so. If it weren't for Chen Ze and you who were behind Wanying, we would have become fat in the eyes of the local real estate tycoons in Yanjing by betting on so many real estates at once. A little connection with the police, prosecutors and law would be enough to We are bankrupt. Think about it, we have used high leverage to acquire so much land. If someone uses the Public Security Bureau to find an excuse to seize us for a year, and no one in the world dares to lend us money, then we will also be dragged to death by bank loans. .”
Li Mu sighed: "If I stay in this industry for a few more years, I'm afraid my whole person will be distorted."
Song Liang smiled and said: "With you and Chen Ze as the double insurance behind Wanying, I feel much more relaxed. Otherwise, the blessings and misfortunes are unknown."
After Wei Lan and Xiao Chenfeng entered the banquet hall together, Xiao Chenfeng said goodbye to her temporarily. He was the organizer and had a seat at the front this time, while Wei Lan was an invited guest from out of town, and the company's strength was not up to the top of the industry. , like Li Mu and most others, were arranged among the hundreds of seats at the back. Li Mu saw Wei Lan walking from the aisle opposite to her to the back. Song Liang also saw her and sighed: "How many years have it passed?" No, Wei Lan is even more beautiful than before."
Li Mu shrugged and found that not only himself and Song Liang, but almost all the men were staring at Wei Lan's figure. It's no wonder that beauties in their twenties and seventies are probably the most popular age group in society. For people of the same age, it is naturally just right. For older people, it is just ripe fruit. For younger people, it belongs to the category of "lightly mature* women", especially a stunning woman like Wei Lan. , at least from the age of 18 to 68.
Soon, the seats in the venue were basically occupied. A beautiful host from Yanjing Satellite TV appeared on the stage in a red dress. First, she thanked all the guests on behalf of the organizer, and then briefly introduced the meaning and purpose of this summit. Then he raised his voice a little and said, "Now, please give me a round of applause to welcome Mr. Xiao Jianbang, Chairman of Yanjing Urban Construction Group and Chairman of Yanjing Real Estate Association, to his opening speech for this summit!"
Xiao Jianbang is very famous in Yanjing. The Urban Construction Group with a market value of tens of billions is the huge real estate empire he controls. He is the natural host of this summit, so it is most appropriate for him to deliver the opening speech.
Xiao Jianbang is not very old. He is in his early fifties. For a businessman, he is in his prime. It is the golden period when his energy, experience and connections are at the peak. Not only that, Li Mu found that Xiao Jianbang is also very eloquent and his speeches are very contagious. Not as good as Boss Ma from Hangzhou, but compared to most successful businessmen, his speaking skills are at the top level.
During Xiao Jianbang's ten-minute opening speech, he received unanimous applause more than a dozen times. After Xiao Jianbang delivered his eloquent and impassioned opening speech, he invited the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee to come to the stage to give a speech, and then Secretary Liu of the Construction Committee .
After several leaders in the city gave brief speeches, the representative of the Yanjing Real Estate Association also came on stage to give a speech. What surprised Li Mu was that Mr. Xiao, whom he met outside and who was acquainted with Wei Lan, also represented Yanjing. Beijing Real Estate Association took the stage and gave a speech.
It was also at this time that Li Mu learned about Mr. Xiao's background. Xiao Chenfeng was the general manager of the Urban Construction Group, the executive director of the Real Estate Association, and the eldest son of Xiao Jianbang.
As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog son. Xiao Chenfeng is still in his young adulthood, but his conversation and spirit have already achieved the eighty percentile ability of his father. Combined with his excellent appearance, he also caused quite a sensation at the scene.
After Xiao Chenfeng finished his speech, it was already half past twelve. The host came on stage and announced that the luncheon would begin immediately. Everyone moved to the banquet hall next door, where meals had been prepared for the guests attending the meeting.
When everyone was walking to the banquet hall next door, Song Liang said to Li Mu: "There will probably be many real estate developers from Yanjing coming to say hello at the dinner table later. Do you want to be more low-key or high-profile?"
Li Muxiao asked him: "Why is it low-key? Why is it high-profile?"
Song Liang said: "I definitely have no choice. Real estate companies that are interested in our land will probably come over first to make themselves familiar. If you want to be low-key, I won't introduce you then; if you want to be high-profile, then I will Just publicize it to them. You are not only a shareholder of Wanying Real Estate, but also the founder of Makino Technology. You are also the absolute majority shareholder of 75% of Makino Technology. In terms of net worth, you are higher than most people present today. many."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Then I'd better keep a low profile. Anyway, I'm just here to play today."
Song Liang advised: "We've already come here. There's no harm in being high-profile. On the contrary, it will make more people look at Wanying Real Estate with admiration. Now many people only know Chen Ze and don't know enough about you."
Li Mu waved his hand: "No, I don't want to have too much contact with people in this circle."
…
Since the Urban Construction Group took out all the catering and banquet parts of the hotel for this summit, the doors between the next door banquet hall and the main banquet hall were all opened, and the people sitting in the back were closer to the banquet hall where they were eating, etc. When Li Mu and Song Liang arrived at the banquet hall next door, most people had already found their seats and sat down.
Attending a conference is similar to having a wedding banquet in a hotel. There are ten people per table, but they are also sorted according to seat numbers. This time, on the dining table, there is a small nameplate in front of each seat number, with the name of the company written on it. Li Mu The four people found their seats according to their seat numbers. There were nameplates with the words "Wanying Real Estate" on all four seats.
As soon as he sat down, Li Mu heard someone greeting him from behind: "Li Mu, what a coincidence!"
Li Mu turned around, and Wei Lan happened to be sitting at the table not far behind him. Li Mu waved to her, but found that the person sitting next to her looked particularly familiar, and the other person was looking at him with a strange look at the moment. Li Mu looked carefully At first glance, it turns out that enemies are not getting together. Isn't the person sitting next to Wei Lan the Huang Jinli of Hongzhu Group who was hit hard by him
