Chapter 87 Conference Room

Besides asking the security guards to keep an eye on things, Master Jiang hadn't intervened at all.

Finding Su Yehao so decisive in resolving the trouble at the building entrance without causing any conflicts surprised Master Jiang slightly.

He had expected Su Yehao to question each person individually, getting bogged down in the details.

Arguing with these people would waste time and energy. Each would claim their project was excellent, only to later discover it was a complete mess.

Or, even more extreme, directly instructing the security guards to block the entrance and drive people away, leading to a confrontation.

But in reality.

Master Jiang had prepared to intervene at any moment, but it wasn't needed.

Su Yehao directly drew a line, using a ten-million threshold to select a higher-quality group from the crowd, which further impressed Master Jiang.

It couldn't be said that the remaining companies were truly outstanding.

However, since they were able to grow and become strong enough to reach the ten-million threshold, it was enough to show they had some ability. Relatively speaking, they were indeed more remarkable, and worth spending some time getting to know...

Leading the group into the elevator.

Su Yehao intended to press a floor number, but suddenly realized he knew nothing about this place.

He cleared his throat and told Master Jiang, "Let's go straight to the conference room. Did those who called to inquire register their information?"

Master Jiang, holding a thick stack of file folders, pressed the button for the twenty-fifth floor and replied, "Yes, they did. I'll get it for you later."

"Okay, everyone, let's go up and have some tea first. Sorry for the poor hospitality, considering you've come from so far."

Su Yehao said with a smile, gradually becoming less shy.

He was regaining the feeling of receiving inspection teams, except the roles and identities had changed. Today, he was in charge.

A glance revealed everyone smiling obsequiously.

Especially the salespeople dispatched by the companies, afraid that Su Yehao wouldn't notice them.

Unconsciously.

Su Yehao's hands were already behind his back, and his back was straight.

His own company, his own building, a business worth billions. This feeling was quite exhilarating.

The feeling of being flattered suddenly emerged. No wonder some people were single-mindedly climbing the ladder, almost calling Master Jiang "Little Jiang..."

...

Leading everyone to the conference room.

It was Saturday today, and a few employees had been temporarily notified to come in and work overtime.

After having people pour tea, Su Yehao first looked at the documents brought by the five companies, casually sitting at the head of the oval table.

He didn't speak, and no one dared to open their mouths haphazardly.

The real estate company from next door, Zhucheng, was called "Maoshan Lake Group," and it was relatively strong.

According to the documents, its total assets reached about eight hundred million RMB. It was a state-owned enterprise with a first-class real estate development qualification.

Probably having heard of Sihai International.

Today, they specifically sent a vice president, accompanied by a director, both over forty years old.

Su Yehao briefly browsed through it and found that this company was also engaged in foreign trade and automobile business. It was founded in 1985 and was currently developing a residential complex in Zhucheng. The information was quite detailed.

He looked up at the people from Maoshan Lake Group.

Thinking that the other party hoped to cooperate in Casino, Su Yehao was a little confused, and said:

"President Chen, I think your proposal to acquire land for cooperation in Casino is pretty good, but the land price here is not cheap, it's rising with Hong Kong, and we don't have any plans in this regard for the time being. In fact, I'd rather acquire land in your area. You're well-informed, is there any movement in nearby Hengqin... recently?"

"Hengqin? That place was planned and designated for key development a few years ago, but there hasn't been any movement yet."

The vice president surnamed Chen subtly steered the topic back and advised, "Compared with Hong Kong's housing prices, your land prices are much cheaper. In a few years, when people travel more frequently between our two places, housing prices will definitely rise sharply! We discussed and studied it yesterday. The prospects for Casino's real estate are bright. It's just that our company's strength is a bit lacking for the time being, and we need a large enterprise like Sihai International to lead the way."

As for Hengqin, it was just a casual inquiry.

Su Yehao remembered that place being designated as a new area for in-depth cooperation with Casino, and housing prices soared for a time, but investing now seemed a bit early, as it was a matter for the distant future.

Seeing that President Chen hadn't given up.

Su Yehao continued to advise:

"You're right, our two companies operate in the same areas, and there will definitely be opportunities for win-win cooperation as long as we cooperate. In my opinion, it's better to think about it the other way around. Since we'll be traveling frequently in the future, many people in Casino will definitely go to your area to buy houses, whether for investment or retirement, it's very cost-effective. We can acquire land, and cooperation is no problem, but we can't acquire land in Casino at the moment. It's best for our company to invest in your area, closer to Casino."

Master Jiang, who was sitting next to Su Yehao, felt his eyelids twitching wildly when he heard this.

He carefully looked at his young master.

What?

So decisive?

Without even considering it, he directly said they could cooperate?

Master Jiang's heart sank.

He immediately retracted his previous evaluation,果然还是太嫩、太年轻, sipped his tea, sighed, and began to have a headache again...

President Chen of Maoshan Lake Group hesitated after hearing these words.

The content of their meeting yesterday was to strike while the iron was hot and enter Casino to expand their business. He didn't expect Su Yehao to turn around and take a fancy to their Zhucheng market.

As a vice president, he couldn't make the decision at all, and he didn't think much of the proposal either.

After weighing it, President Chen only told Su Yehao:

"Okay, I have to ask others about this and give you a reply after discussing it, after all, I'm not the only one who makes the decisions in the company. This year, our company has just started selling a residential complex in Xinxiangzhou, selling for two thousand one hundred RMB per square meter. The market response is... average. We still have to offer a discount. We'll definitely be able to sell it all, but I don't know when we'll be able to sell it all."

It was obviously polite talk, Su Yehao could tell.

He was almost moved to tears by this price. Holy cow, they even offered discounts?

This was indeed a good, simple, and unadorned era.

Su Yehao also knew that what to say at what time, compared with income levels, this price already seemed very expensive.

It was just an intention to cooperate.

But President Chen of Maoshan Lake Group was suddenly not so enthusiastic.

Su Yehao felt that it was necessary to further study the mainland real estate market and try to choose a project that could maximize value. It wasn't necessarily a must to cooperate.

After a polite handshake, he sent President Chen and his people away and continued to look at other projects.

The representative of the clothing factory watched Su Yehao pick up their folder... and then casually put it aside, picking up a feed factory's folder and flipping through it while drinking tea.

Instantly.

The clothing factory representative realized something and felt like crying but had no tears.

It was one thing to not be able to compare with a large enterprise like Maoshan Lake Group, but they couldn't even compare with a feed seller!?

Labor-intensive enterprises still had profits nowadays, but the prospects for development were difficult for Su Yehao to be satisfied with, and they would be gradually eliminated in a few years.

In Su Yehao's hometown, there were four or five garment factories, providing thousands of jobs, and the situation was excellent.

However, it cooled down a few years after the millennium.

At least he had money and vision. No matter how he looked at it, there was no need to earn money by exploiting labor. Selling pig feed was more promising.

Su Yehao asked the feed factory representative at this moment, "Does your company only produce feed? Have you never thought about raising pigs?"

"...Why would we raise pigs?" The feed factory representative was stunned.

He shook his head.

Su Yehao thought, because someone who raised pigs had become a billionaire, and it was said to be very profitable.

He thought about these words in his heart.

He said, "It's nothing, but I don't understand this industry. Judging from the data in the information, your performance is not bad, with a turnover of nearly seven million a year. Unfortunately, I'm afraid there's no way to cooperate."

Then he looked at the two representatives of the clothing factory.

The two had just perked up when they heard Su Yehao say:

"You guys too, the labor costs in the mainland will continue to increase, the advantages are not obvious, and the competition is fierce. I haven't thought about investing in this area. Garment factories all over the place allow many people to have jobs, which is still very important, but unfortunately, there is no way to cooperate. Master Jiang, have someone bring them some small gifts, so they don't make a trip for nothing..."

When Su Yehao looked at the two tile factory representatives again.

The two seemed to know each other and were both from Fochuan.

They looked at each other, silently got up, and prepared to leave.

They had realized that this young man was decisive and not easy to talk to...
