Game within game: chess player

How could anyone dare to pick this argument? Zhang Yunshan, the oldest here, was the first to say, "Brother, your yard is very grand. The old man of the Ma family came to attend the opening of Xiyuan in person, and the name of this garden has been completely established." "

"I just heard the waiter talking about the garden being built with bricks from the Forbidden City. Is that true?" Bi Xingfa asked in a low voice.

"It's true, at least that's what Mr. Ma said." Then Ye Fang told everyone the origin of Xiyuan described by Ma Yongchang. Everyone was amazed when they thought that everyone now is equivalent to the ancient times. As they ate and drank in the emperor's royal garden, everyone immediately felt their superiority rising.

"Brother, don't I need to apply for a membership when I bring my friends to Xiyuan?" Zhang Yunshan asked seriously.

After hearing this, Ye Fang laughed, pointed at everyone at the table and said, "Your faces are your membership cards. You can just swipe your face in the future."

After hearing what Ye Fang said, everyone laughed. The mature Zhang Yunshan, Bi Xingfa and Wang Junhe immediately knew the weight of Ye Fang's words. This was equivalent to losing hundreds of thousands or even millions of their own membership fees in an instant, which invisibly improved the level. The weight of what Zhang Yunshan, Bi Xingfa and others will say in society in the future.

"Don't worry, bosses, you will be the most distinguished guests of Xiyuan from now on. Just give us a call whenever you want. I can't say that these two rooms in Qianyuan are available every day, but there will definitely be one for you in other rooms in the courtyard. Xiaozhuang said with a smile.

"Thank you, boss lady!" Bi Xingfa laughed and said without hesitation. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Bi Xingfa immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately slapped himself in a pretense, and quickly changed his words, "I drank too much, and I talked nonsense again. Thank you, Boss Zhuang!"

Although Xiaozhuang heard it, he smiled and remained silent. It would be unwise to argue at this time. Among them, only Wang Junhe knew that Ye Fang and Xiaozhuang had been living in Xiyuan these days. If something didn't happen to this lonely man and widowed woman, then the woman would be abnormal, or the man would be abnormal.

Ye Fang just pretended that he didn't hear it and everyone left laughing. Zhang Yunshan glared at Bi Xingfa fiercely. Bi Xingfa also knew that the joke was inappropriate. As for others like Cai Xiaoling and Zhou Kai, they didn't dare to talk and just pretended not to hear. Wang Kai, who was at the dinner table, glanced at Gu Zhuoyi, who looked a little unhappy, and quickly put some food for her, saying, "Everyone, please eat quickly. You can't eat such delicious food everywhere."

At this time, Gu Zhuoyi poured herself a glass of wine, suddenly stood up and said to Xiaozhuang, "Boss Zhuang, my name is Gu Zhuoyi. I, Ye Fang, and Wang Kai have been living in the same compound for the past year or so. Here. Although this is the first time we have met, you are no stranger to me. Thank you for taking care of Ye Fang these days. I wish the boss a prosperous business in the future!" After saying this, Gu Zhuoyi drank the wine in one sip. A full glass of white wine.

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, the air is immediately filled with the smell of gunpowder. Wang Kai, Cai Xiaoling and Zhou Kai immediately ate with their heads down, fearing that the two tigers would fight and spill their own blood. Zhang Yunshan, Bi Xingfa and Wang Junhe glanced at Ye Fang, who looked a little embarrassed, not knowing what to do.

Xiaozhuang smiled and said, "Thank you sister, it is always my duty to take good care of Ye." After saying that, Xiaozhuang also poured himself a glass of white wine and drank it.

The two women drank a glass of white wine, and the drunkenness immediately appeared on their faces. The two women looked at each other without hesitation, one was like a white lotus, and the other was like a peony.

Just when everyone didn't know what to do next, Zhou Kai's cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the room, which relieved the short-term embarrassment.

Zhou Kai looked a little unnatural and apologized. He answered the phone and said in a high-pitched voice, "What, you got them all? Okay, you wait for my call."

"What's wrong?" Ye Fang asked with raised eyebrows when he saw Zhou Kai looking a little bad. Xiaozhuang and Gu Zhuoyi stopped tit-for-tat at this time. Instead, they naturally put down their wine glasses and sat down. Everyone also took this opportunity to look at Zhou Kai.

"Mr. Ye, the situation is like this. The city is now offering a lot of land for private auction, and the bidders are all leading companies in the industry. We are a newly established real estate company in Germany. In order to build our reputation, I asked people to make symbolic bids. Some of them, the original intention was to show their face to the city’s competent authorities. Because it was the first time to participate, we all set a relatively conservative price, which was 30.00% to [-]% higher than the base price. According to my expectation, this is definitely not a good deal. It is possible to win, because according to the winning bid quotas of other real estate properties that I have studied before, it is at least [-]% higher, or even several hundred more to win the bid. But the people under my command just now told me that all the bids submitted by German Real Estate were successful." Zhou Kai said.

"Isn't this a good thing? We need to have a drink to celebrate!" Bi Xingfa said happily, but then his face changed and he suddenly added, "No! There seems to be a conspiracy."

"What's the total winning bid amount?" Ye Fang asked.

"A total of eight projects were involved, and the winning bid amount was 6.8 million yuan!" Zhou Kai had beads of sweat on his forehead. He also felt that something was wrong. Winning one or two was just luck. The project volume and capital investment of eight projects at once have exceeded the current capabilities of German Real Estate. According to German Real Estate, operating two projects at a time is already the limit. If eight projects are invested at the same time, German Real Estate will simply suffer. No less, even the interest on the funds alone from a loan can crush a company.

"So much?!" Zhang Yunshan knew very well that real estate is a highly leveraged enterprise. Although it can provide loans for development, if it gives loans to the same company for so many projects at one time, the bank's loan review department must consider whether the company can afford the interest and Subsequent comprehensive development capabilities.

After all, Defang Real Estate has no experience in developing real estate before. Now that it has swallowed up so much land at once, financial pressure is the biggest hurdle. Now it is clear that someone wants to support Defang Real Estate to death.

"Can't it be transferred or the bid abandoned?" Cai Xiaoling also realized the seriousness of the problem. Although the company still had enough funds on its books, once the funds for buying and selling the land were paid, the company's subsequent operations would also have problems.

"The competent authorities have made it clear that joint development is possible, but transfer is not allowed. Abandoning the bid is a solution, but you will have to bear liquidated damages, and in the future, German real estate will be on the urban construction blacklist, and you will no longer be allowed to bid for real estate projects. , which is equivalent to directly shutting down German real estate." Zhou Kai explained, at this time Zhou Kai felt that his chest and back were soaked with sweat.
