I am doing well in the Siheyuan

In desperation, Ma Ruosong had to repeatedly adjust the design plan and modify the drawings over and over again.

At the same time, Mr. Li did not encounter such troubles.

As a native of Beijing, he is familiar with the local situation.

He had already visited the steel mill and understood the quality of the steel.

Although Li could have made design adjustments based on the quality of the available steel, he chose another path.

He sent a scientific research team to the steel rolling mill to start transforming the equipment and improving the quality of steel.

Although the nature of steel cannot be changed immediately, gradual improvements can eventually bring the steel up to the expected standards.

As the deputy director of the steel rolling mill, Ye Ming also played an important role in this process.

The steel rolling mill, which was on the verge of collapse, started a reform movement and built new oxygen top-blown converters, mixing furnaces and related supporting facilities.

Although these changes did not completely transform the rolling mill, they significantly increased its production capacity.

It takes time for market feedback to appear, so Ye Ming is not too worried about this.

The Qiu Ding Commercial Building project is on track and he doesn't need to worry too much.

In comparison, the changes in small fishing villages in the south are more striking.

After the construction, the small fishing village in the south is no longer what it used to be. It has been given a new name - Pengcheng, showing its momentum of soaring up to 90,000 miles.

Coincidentally, Pengcheng is about to hold its first land auction.

Previously, land in the South was subject to a paid use system, and users were required to pay rent.

The land being auctioned this time allows the buyer to have the right to use it for 50 years, which is undoubtedly a bold attempt.

After this, national laws were adjusted accordingly, the country quickly entered the era of commercial housing, and the real estate industry truly took off.

Land auctions have attracted a large amount of foreign capital and have had a profound impact on the country's infrastructure construction.

Ye Ming attached great importance to this. Although he had instructed Lou's father to participate in the auction, he still paid close attention to the auction results, because the changes in the transaction price indirectly reflected the impact of the incident.

In a simple venue in Pengcheng, the crowd was bustling and the scene was very lively. This was the site of the land auction.

In the past two or three years, Pengcheng has developed rapidly and many businesses have an urgent need for land, which is also an important reason for the auction.

Many Hong Kong businessmen were also invited to participate in this auction.

At the land auction in Pengcheng, Ye Ming instructed Lou's father to buy a piece of land.

This well-known figure in Hong Kong was also placed in a prominent position in the Pengcheng Auction.

"Boss Lou, I didn't expect you to attend this auction!"

As soon as Mr. Lou sat down, he heard a warm greeting.

"Mr. Li, no where."

Father Lou responded to the middle-aged man who greeted him, but his heart couldn't help but tighten.

The person who had connections with the steel factory was not Li Huaide, but another tycoon in Hong Kong's real estate industry - Li Decheng.

He has been involved in real estate since the 1960s, and recently acquired the Britannica Whampoa Commercial Bank from Hong Kong's largest financial institution, Bank of Hong Kong.

Mr. Lou had expected that Li Decheng knew something about the Pengcheng land auction, but he did not expect that he would personally participate.

"Boss Lou is determined to win this auction today, right?"

Li Decheng's question seemed casual, but in fact, every word he said was a test, and his eyes were closely watching every subtle change in Lou's father's expression.

"How can that be possible? It depends on whether the price is right. After all, the rent in Pengcheng is not expensive now."

Mr. Lou pretended to be relaxed, but in fact he was trying to cover up his mistake, intending to make the other party let down their guard and think that they were not well prepared.

In Lou's father's opinion, doing business requires careful consideration rather than impulsive action.

Since Li Decheng had already estimated the land price in advance, he naturally would not prepare extra funds when he saw that his performance was mediocre.

When the auction comes, he can take advantage of the other party's concerns and win the land at a lower price.

Li Decheng smiled slightly and responded, "That's true." However, his true thoughts were hidden.

As the conversation between the two ended, the auction officially kicked off.

Compared with those luxurious antique auctions in Hong Kong, Pengcheng's first land auction seemed much simpler. There was only a table covered with red cloth, and on the table stood a detailed agreement recording the specific location, area, shape and transfer status of the land.

The auction was presided over by Director Liu of the Pengcheng Land Bureau. It was his first time, so he was a little nervous and his movements were a little stiff.

"Everyone, Pengcheng's first land auction is now starting.

The auction is for a 8588-year land use right of 200 square meters located on Dongxiao Road in Luohu District. The starting price is 5 million yuan, and each bid increase must not be less than yuan.

Director Liu gave the final decision and the auction officially started.

Although the starting price of two million was much higher than the rent during the same period, bidding soon began to rise.

"205 million!"

"210 million!"

"215 million!"

"400 million!"

Amidst the bidding, one voice stood out. It was Li Decheng who doubled the price. Many people were stunned by this and the scene suddenly became much quieter.

"450 million!"

New offers appear again.

Li Decheng looked at Lou's father and asked, "I wonder what price Mr. Lou has in mind? If it's over 500 million, I'm afraid I'll have to give up."

Apart from Lou's father, Li Decheng did not take other businessmen seriously. He was already one of the richest men in Hong Kong, not to mention his status in Shenzhen.

"I'm about the same." Father Lou's answer was quite implicit, and he had already set a price of 600 million in his mind.

According to Ye Ming's wishes, he must get it no matter how high the price is.

"485 million!"

"490 million!"

After Li Decheng raised the price, the price continued to rise gradually, increasing by 50,000 each time.

"500 million 20!"

Father Lou finally raised the sign in his hand.

"505 million!"

Li Decheng glanced at Lou's father with a little surprise, but still followed closely.

At this moment, the auction has become a showdown between the two.

After several rounds of fierce competition, the land price soared to 600 million.

"I'll stop here. If Mr. Lou offers a higher price, this piece of land will be yours."

After calling out a price of 560 million, Li Decheng spoke frankly and left the decision to Lou's father.

He only prepared this amount.

"Six million and five hundred thousand!"

Mr. Lou didn't say much, but decisively offered a higher bid.

Chapter 187: When the storm is coming, the leader comes to the scene in person!

Upon hearing the high price, Li Decheng did not follow up and waved his hand to indicate his withdrawal from the auction.

What he said to Lou's father was true.

In the entire auction hall, no one raised a bidding card, and instead there was a lot of discussion.

This price is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Six million, five hundred thousand once, six million, five hundred thousand twice, six million, five hundred thousand three times, deal!"

When Director Liu saw that no one had raised the price after a minute, he solemnly shouted three times and then dropped the auction hammer.

Soon, a lady of etiquette came to Lou's father and led him to the auction stage.
