1440: Chapter 697: A Bit Far 1440: Chapter 697: A Bit Far Early in the morning, Dong Qiushi had already beco busy.
First, he made a phone call from ho and then arrived at the office ahead of ti, starting to receive phone calls and faxes.
As colleagues trickle into work one after another, two who had a good relationship with him saw how busy he was and joked with him while laughing, “Honest Dong, seeing you so busy this early, people who don’t know might think you’ve beco a top leader, or that this had beco the Finance Bureau!”
Comparison can be a dreadful thing; they all held golden “work bowls”, but those who controlled the purse strings shone as if their bowls were encrusted with diamonds, and they naturally seed more impressive than those sitting on cold benches.
So, during casual banter, they would sarcastically ntion those departnts.
Dong Qiushi was very busy, and he just smiled at his colleagues who were joking with him, continuing to work until soone announced that the regular eting was about to start.
He then hurriedly grabbed a stack of materials and ran into the leaders’ office.
These materials were either gathered by Dong Qiushi through calling in favors and relying on connections or were compiled utilizing the powers at his disposal within the organization.
They contained detailed information on the Morning Glory Enterprise, as well as research on the land Yan Fei wanted to purchase.
The leader had received a phone call from Dong Qiushi updating him the day before, but without seeing Dong Qiushi in person or getting confird news, he couldn’t go around asking everyone like Dong had been doing.
Now looking at the materials and the detailed information on the Morning Glory Enterprise, the leader’s expression gradually beca serious, “Who would have thought that a small local enterprise could have such strong… financial strength!”
“Now, this Morning Glory Enterprise has reportedly launched operation of the largest cattle farm in the province.” Dong Qiushi had a good relationship with the leader, so he wasn’t afraid to share so information he had heard.
“However, the boss is quite low-profile despite being young; there’s been less publicity.
So people say that the beef from there sells for over a hundred yuan per catty, though I’m not sure if that’s true or not.”
“I’ve inquired through friends over there, and this Boss Yan indeed doesn’t lack money.
From constructing the cattle farm to its operation, not only has he never borrowed a penny from the bank, but his bank deposits have continued to rise.
He earns money much faster than he spends it…”
When Dong Qiushi reached the last sentence, he looked wistful.
“His surna is Yan, right?” the leader asked.
Seeing Dong Qiushi nod, he continued, “So, what do you gather from Boss Yan’s intentions?
Does he want to buy the land for real estate developnt, or does he have other plans?
This needs to be clear as well.”
“Certainly,” Dong Qiushi nodded bashfully, hesitating for a mont before speaking.
“Boss Yan has built a house at one corner of the land.
He said he’s concerned that it won’t be tranquil after the area develops.
So, he wants to buy the land…”
“…” The leader’s expression froze montarily; Boss Yan’s reason was indeed quite compelling, leaving anyone who heard it in silent reflection before they could respond.
“If that’s his reason, it might really be difficult to sell to him.
Land resources are no joke; they can’t just be bought for fun by whoever has money.
If our city expands in the future…”
At this point, even the leader felt embarrassed to continue; expand the city?
That piece of land in the remote corner would take who knows how many years before the comrcial district could extend there.
“How about we tell him the price is too low and ask him to offer more?” Dong Qiushi suggested from the side.
“Boss Yan’s car alone is worth over a million, buying such a piece of land for just five million is indeed too little.”
Lands are not private property, and selling them too cheap could imply illegal activities, which could be a serious matter.
Therefore, as much as they desired to sell, the price had to be satisfactory to all parties involved.
“Let’s take it to the eting!” the leader decided with conviction.
“Nowadays, everyone is trying to attract investors to stimulate the economy.
Since a quality local enterprise is willing to develop in Provincial City, we can’t not support them.
Let’s bring it up for discussion at the eting first!”
The next item was a regular work schedule eting that now included a final item: a discussion about the transfer of a piece of land.
When the discussion was almost concluded, everyone’s opinions began to align—selling was feasible, but the price, seed too low.
Therefore, soone proposed, “How about we hold an auction?”
Imdiately soone chid in, “An auction?
For an auction to drive up the price, there needs to be competition.
But the question is, do we have anyone willing to compete with him now?”
All the people in the room were land professionals, well aware of Provincial City’s current situation.
Although there were a few real estate developers, everyone’s attention was focused on the city center, on the currently hot comrcial districts.
A piece of land in a sowhat remote location might not attract much interest.
The person who initially voiced the opinion said, “Given the ‘Low Price’, such a large piece of land might interest soone!”
Without an investigation beforehand, it was impossible to say for sure.
A land sale of such magnitude wasn’t to be taken lightly—sotis it was better to say nothing at all than to speak prematurely; everyone understood this principle.
As they discussed, suddenly soone received a phone call.
Their face changed color and after sharing the content of the call, the eting was adjourned…
While others were busy deliberating whether to sell to him or not, Yan Fei was in his yard, digging the ground and planting vegetables.
