What does Tibetan Mastiff meat taste like?
"Director Long, I wonder if you have any good ideas, feel free to bring them out for everyone to discuss." Li Ni said with a hint of sarcasm.
She had already done research on Shen Zhou Development beforehand, and the so-called Longyang Shen Zhou Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. actually only has two main businesses, one is demolition and relocation, and the other is soil, sand and stone transportation, it's clear that it's a shell company with underworld nature, and it doesn't have the qualifications to bid on such a large project.
Long Shao waved his hand with a lot of style: "Director Li, don't call me Boss Long. The word 'boss' has too much of a rustic feel to it. I still like it when people call me Young Long, it makes me sound younger and more spirited."
"Alright, Long Shao, then please tell me what feasible suggestions you have?" Li Yan supported her chin with her thumb, trying her best to hold back her temper and go along with Long Shao.
"It's like this, the investment environment in Longyang still needs to be improved. These days, you must have seen it too, the ground in Longyang is not very stable, the underworld is rampant, and if you do real estate development, you can't avoid dealing with them. In the past, there was a developer who invested in a project in the urban area of Longyang, but ended up offending someone, and as a result, the construction site was blocked, building materials couldn't be transported in, workers were beaten every now and then, and in the end, they had to slink away with a loss of 50 or 60 million."
Li Wei smiled slightly: "I seem to have understood a bit, Long Shao please continue."
"The young ladies' laughter is really captivating." Long Shao said to himself, swallowing his saliva, and continued: "At first, our Shen Zhou real estate also suffered a lot of bullying, but I, Long Shao, have some friends in both the underworld and the official circles. A few phone calls and they were dealt with."
"What's next?" Li Yan asked, she had already understood Long Shao's intention, but still politely asked him to finish speaking.
"Our company, Shen Zhou Real Estate, may have some shortcomings in design and construction, but we also have our own strengths, such as handling complex interpersonal relationships, transportation of building materials, and of course, the most important thing is demolition and relocation. Without certain connections, it's impossible to do this job, and I'm sure Li will understand that very well since he's also in the development business."
This remark reminded Li Yan that demolition and relocation was a very difficult task, sometimes it had to rely on external forces to proceed, and Zhicheng Group was indeed weak in this aspect.
"I, Long Shaoping, have been doing so well in Longyang, actually it's all thanks to the help of a few uncles and elders. Li Zong may not know, but our Long family has had a long-standing relationship with Secretary Li... Uncle Li was originally my grandfather's secretary, haha, I wouldn't tell this to just anyone, but since you're Li Zong, who can blame us for being so compatible?"
Long Shao finished speaking, lit a cigar, took a deep drag, and two streams of smoke came out of his nostrils. His eyes stared at Li Ni, watching the effect of these words.
Li Niang gently fanned her hand in front of her face, such a good Havana cigar, was smoked by Long Shaoping this nouveau riche in the way of smoking fragrant cigarettes, it's really a waste of heaven, and there is no need to disguise his contempt for him.
"Haha, Director Li, if you're interested, I'll come up with a preliminary plan first. This project, our two companies will take it together, Zhicheng will be responsible for design planning, budgeting and construction work, while Shen Zhou will handle the relocation and building materials supply in advance. Our two companies will join forces to achieve a win-win situation."
After finishing speaking, Long Shao used his excessively indulgent three white eyes to stare at Li Ni, trying to create a sharp and spirited gaze.
Li Hen smiled faintly, with a hint of undisguised disdain in his smile: "Say it again, I'll consider it, excuse me."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked away. Long Shao took a vicious puff of his cigar, staring at Li Ni's perfect buttocks wrapped in her Western-style skirt, saying in a low voice: "You little girl, don't be arrogant, sooner or later you'll be the dish on my plate!"
……
Li Yan returned to her seat and saw that Huang Pangzi had just finished talking with Director Song, the two shook hands, seemingly reaching some kind of agreement. Li Yan felt a chill in her heart, this sly Huang Pangzi, in order to get a share of the profits, might very well collude with Long Shao, and by then, Zhicheng would be affected.
As expected, the meeting continued, and Director Song announced that due to some new developments, this bidding needs to make some necessary adjustments, and the tender will be suspended for a few days until all parties have coordinated and then start again.
As soon as this was said, the downstairs suddenly buzzed into a piece. This time, the renovation of the old city area, the three major companies that entered the bidding were only bidding for the main project, and there were also some small supporting projects such as road construction, greening, and public facilities bidding, which were all connected together. Suddenly wanting to change, everyone couldn't help but discuss it.
Director Song stretched out his hand and pressed down, saying: "Secretary Li also said that we should emancipate our minds and take bold action, but no matter how we reform, the three public principles will not change. Everyone can rest assured. Tonight, our bidding center is hosting a dinner party at 7:30, please don't be late."
The meeting was dismissed and everyone left. Director Song called Li Niang alone to stay behind, and the two went into the office for a private conversation.
"Director Li, this time the bidding, Zhicheng Group is the most powerful, but now a new situation has emerged, Pingchuan Jia Garden wants to join hands with Shenzhou Real Estate, so you will be at a disadvantage. Of course, the final result still depends on the opening price, which remains unchanged."
The worrying situation has indeed occurred. Li said: "I have objections, how did Shen Zhou Real Estate get shortlisted? When we evaluated the technical bids, they were clearly not among them."
Director Song sighed and said, "General Manager Li, I also have difficulties. Shen Zhou Real Estate is a local enterprise and last year's star merchant. Long Shaoping is one of the top ten outstanding young people in the district. The government must support it. General Manager Li, you understand, right? It's still that sentence: emancipate your mind and take bold action. You're right, aren't you?"
As the host, it's already not easy to say that much. Li Ni stretched out her hand and shook hands with Director Song: "Thank you, Director Song, I understand."
……
When they came out of the main gate, everyone was shocked to see a long row of black luxury cars parked by the roadside, with a man in a black suit and sunglasses standing beside each car door. Without asking, these people were all from Shen Zhou Real Estate, and Long Shao showed off his strength to all the bidders in his own unique way.
The recent gunshots and door-sealing incidents had everyone convinced that Long Shao was finished, but it turns out he not only entered the bidding center with ease, becoming an honored guest, but also casually showcased his incredibly powerful connections, leaving everyone in awe.
As soon as Long Shao came out, the rear door of a black van opened, and two massive wild beasts burst out from inside. Their bodies were like small calves, with lion-like manes on their necks. It was said that Long Shao liked to raise Tibetan Mastiffs and spent millions of dollars buying purebred Tibetan Mastiffs from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It turned out to be true.
Two Tibetan Mastiffs were extremely ferocious, their intimidating power was even stronger than that of twenty thugs. They stood at the entrance of the bidding center, and no one dared to come out.
Long Shao smiled triumphantly, this was also one of his ways to show off to the crowd. A few days ago, he blocked the door and didn't let you in, today he blocks the door and doesn't let you out, this is still my Long Shao's world!
But today's Long Shao was very low-key, he walked to the front of the two Tibetan Mastiffs, took a piece of fresh meat from his subordinate's hand and fed it to the mastiff, stroking its fur with his hand, and smiled at the crowd inside the gate, saying: "It's okay, they won't bite."
The crowd still didn't dare move forward, and several young women were even scared pale, shrinking behind the crowd.
Long Shao's goal had been achieved, he made a gesture, his subordinates led the Tibetan mastiff onto the car, a man in black suit came to help Long Shao put on his windbreaker, and he also got into the Mercedes-Benz, the motorcade sped away.
Everyone dares to be angry but not dare to speak, silently getting on their respective cars and leaving. Only Liu Ziguang had a thoughtful look, while Wei Ziyuan tilted her head to glance at him: "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
"I wonder what Tibetan Mastiff meat tastes like." Liu Ziguang said out of nowhere.
……
After returning to the hotel at noon, Li Xian convened a project team meeting to study. The current situation is extremely severe, and the possibility of Zhicheng Group monopolizing the project has basically been reduced to zero. The only hope is to cooperate with local enterprises to cut this big cake together. After everyone's analysis and judgment, they unanimously believed that this was not only Long Shaoping's personal ambition, but also contained a very complex chain of interests behind it. To do this project, one must lower his head.
The situation is stronger than people, and people in the business world are not free to act on their own. Although Li Ni dislikes Long Shao very much, she has no choice but to make a decision. At the dinner party that night, she will have to negotiate with Shen Zhou Real Estate about cooperation matters. After the meeting, everyone quietly dispersed. Li Ni sat in her original position, lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought. The words Liu Ziguang said on the way here unexpectedly became true: the journey of Long Yang is unpredictable.
In the afternoon, Cao Dahua called from the police station. After a round of communication, the four security guards were finally let off lightly, each fined 5,000 yuan and detained for 15 days. This was much better than criminal detention. When Yin Zong heard the news, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Our lawyer is not bad after all."
"Our lawyer hasn't arrived yet because of a traffic jam, and the criminal detention was changed to administrative detention. I heard it's because someone made a phone call to plead for leniency," said Cao Dawei on the other end of the line.
"Who made the call?"
Long Shao
Yin Zhijian slowly hung up the phone. This Long Shao was really outrageous, with his sharp edges exposed. He had set a trap by having the four security guards taken away, and then pretended to be a good person by making a phone call to plead for leniency, changing the criminal detention to administrative detention. With a flick of his wrist, he could make it rain or shine. In this area, Long Yang was the big boss, and he was the second-in-command. Wasn't this also a show of force?
Report to Director Li, Li Niang also lowered his head and remained silent. Long Shao's intimidating demeanor was everywhere, creating an atmosphere that forced the Zhicheng Group to cooperate with them. In fact, cooperation wasn't impossible, but cooperating with such unscrupulous people would likely lead to many troubles in the future.
"Director Yin, even if we cooperate with Shen Zhou, we should adopt some clever methods, such as setting up another independent legal person subsidiary. What do you think?" Li Ni suddenly raised her head and said.
"Yes, Mr. Li's arrangement is very thorough, I agree."
……
The banquet hosted by the Tendering Center was set at the First Guest House of the Municipal Government where the Zhicheng project team stayed, also known as Xiyuan Hotel. In the evening, around six o'clock, people from all walks of life arrived and chatted with each other in the hall, exchanging business cards and building relationships.
The Shen Zhou real estate people came the most, with a full ten cars and forty or fifty people. The momentum scared Cao Dahua, who was in charge of security and naturally cared about this. On his side, four colleagues had gone in, leaving only himself, Lei Ming, and that guy Liu Ziguang. If the other side played dirty tricks, how could three people protect so many colleagues?
Turning back, Liu Ziguo was sitting in the corner smoking a cigarette, with a calm face. Cao Dahua couldn't help but feel annoyed and quickly walked over.
