"Wow, what a coincidence! Mr. Zheng, why are you everywhere?" Although Zhou Yuan said this, he still reached out to shake hands with him.
After all, we are old rivals and old acquaintances. We have made progress through competition and achieved industrial upgrading through competition. Sometimes we have to thank our opponents.
"Hey, Mr. Zhou, what's up? Even if we're rivals, we're old rivals. We're all busy, so it's rare for us to see each other. We should have a good chat."
Zheng Qiang held Zhou Yuan's hand and shook it vigorously. It really felt like they were old friends meeting again after a long separation.
Zhou Yuan couldn't help but snort in his heart: "Hypocrisy."
Rivals are always rivals, but when you meet an opponent, the chance of you becoming friends is always zero.
All I can say is that opponents also need to respect each other, and respecting opponents is respecting yourself. But saying that old friends meet over a glass of wine and miss each other very much is really too hypocritical, and even you don’t believe it.
"Mr. Zheng is such a joke. Can we be good friends? Every time I lead the way, you sabotage me from behind.
Many of them destroyed the business resources that I had painstakingly accumulated. Moreover, they competed with each other and sabotaged each other, putting everyone's business in a mess.
Is this something a friend could do?"
"I admit that I sometimes did some tricks and schemes to compete, but they were all done out of necessity and were harmless.
Mr. Zhou has a really good memory; he's still brooding over it."
Zheng Qiang smiled awkwardly after he finished speaking. This guy was very cunning and had a thick skin. Even if a sharp knife hit his face, the knife would bend, but his skin would not be damaged at all.
It can be seen that behind the thick skin, there is a depth of skill that is rarely seen in the world.
Zhou Yuan had of course already experienced someone's kung fu, so he laughed and said, "Boss Zheng, Boss Zheng, your shameless skills are getting better and better.
If you are just playing tricks and scheming, I, Zhou, won't take it to heart, let alone hold a grudge against you."
After saying this, the two of them smiled similarly again.
However, Zhou Yuan's smile was very hearty, while Zheng Qiang's smile was very cunning.
There is no way, the cunning people can only smile cunningly.
For this reason, Zhou Yuan didn't mind. The two walked forward hand in hand, just like old friends meeting after a long time.
I feel like we sympathize with each other and I can't let it go for a long time.
"Mr. Zhou, what new plans do you have for coming to the South this time?" Getting information is Zheng Qiang's usual trick.
Of course Zhou Yuan would not be fooled by him, and he would not mention anything related to commercial secrets.
Instead, he laughed it off and said vaguely, "Southern cities are developing really well. It's beyond our expectations, right?"
"I'm right. Southern cities are developing too fast. I really thought that even if you built houses in your remote areas, you wouldn't be able to sell them.
I didn’t expect it to be such a huge hit.”
Zheng Qiang said with emotion: "Seeing you making a fortune, so proud and confident, laughing at the world, while I am so dejected and don't know what to do!"
"Brother, that's not the case. Is your house selling very poorly?" Zhou Yuan asked in feigned surprise.
In fact, everyone is an old rival. It is clear who owns the land where, how many houses have been built, how much they have been sold for, and how the sales are going.
There are people following up and specifically controlling the other party's information. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
As competitors, we are all in the same industry, and all of us are influential companies in the industry. Wouldn’t it be too presumptuous to understand our competitors?
"To be honest, it's hard to explain. It's all thanks to you. If you hadn't sold it at a low price, would I have lost so much money on my house?"
Zheng Qiang said this and sighed again, "The first one is not much better than yours, but the price of the land I got is much higher than yours. In addition, the subsequent publicity, the construction of the house just happened to catch up with the rising prices.
The total cost is much higher than yours. Under the impact of your house price, I dare not increase it at all. I can only raise it a little bit higher than your house price.
Maintaining sales was still limited, so what should I do? Finally, I had no choice but to hold a discount promotion.
After all the efforts, the cost price is not even enough, it is a complete loss of both the wife and the army."
"Don't be discouraged, brother. Victory and defeat are common in the military." Zhou Yuan patted someone on the shoulder and said with the tone of a veteran:
"House prices have been low over the past two years, making it difficult to sell houses, but this will pass sooner or later. You don't have to dwell on it."
"Are you saying that housing prices will rise in two years and sales will improve?"
Zheng Qiang heard hope in Zhou Yuan's unintentional words of advice.
He really wanted to hear this kind of words. He didn't make much money from the few pieces of land and real estate projects.
As a result, the company’s cash chain is currently tight, and many projects cannot be started on time, so they cannot be completed on time.
This has caused the homeowners to become worried, and they have already arranged for people to go to Zheng Qiang's company to protest.
So in the end he communicated with everyone earnestly and the problem was resolved, but it ultimately had a negative impact.
And there's no guarantee that this kind of thing will happen again in the future.
So now Zheng Qiang can't even eat or sleep well, and he even calls the owner to make trouble.
After all, the company is currently facing some difficulties and cannot afford to suffer any more.
If you continue to make trouble and your reputation is damaged and you can’t sell the house, you will be in big trouble!
"I never said that things will definitely get better in two years, but we should have reason to believe that the more development there is, the better, and people's living standards will get higher and higher.
Buying a house is a necessity, so don't worry too much. I'm not as pessimistic as you anyway."
After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, he burst into laughter again.
Zheng Qiang also smiled, more normal than before.
The two chatted here for a long time, and their subordinates were also chatting next to them. They were talking about what they had talked about, so it didn't affect each other.
At the end of the conversation, Zhou Yuan patted the other person on the shoulder and said, "Okay, go ahead and get busy. I also need to check the work.
Can we sit down and have a drink and continue chatting sometime?"
"Mr. Zhou is just saying it nicely. Will you be willing to drink with us?"
Zheng Qiang said skeptically, "You are more capable than me, and I know your business will definitely develop better than mine.
Anyway, I really hope to be your friend, not just your competitor."
Zhou Yuan spread his hands helplessly and said, "From the first day you showed up, we were destined to be competitors.
This is our fate and it can never be changed, but I am also grateful to have a competitor like you.
Competition makes us stronger, and it also helps us standardize our industry, which promotes mutual development, don’t you think?
"Yes, yes, that's what I've been wanting to say." Zheng Qiang nodded with satisfaction this time.
Then he left with his men, and Yuan also took his men to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the first newly built building in the south.
The project is divided into three phases. The first phase has been completed, all properties have been sold out, and owners have started to move in with good response.
The second phase is under construction and the pre-sale houses are also on sale with good sales. The third phase is being planned. Once the second phase is completed, the third phase will begin.
