"Tsk, Mr. Shen, what wind blew you here?" Pansy Ho looked at this scoundrel with resentment. Such a big project, and you just ran away like that, leaving her and Xu Xin to work on it. Chen Jinfei and Huang Fulai's main task was to attend drinking parties, while the main work of actual operation was still handled by these two women.
Actually, Huang Fulai and Chen Jinfei were mainly busy with the Tianxia Youxia and Chengshi Bianli projects, and didn't have much energy to deal with these other things.
You're so busy you barely have time to breathe, and you've gone off to Gansu for months! When Pansy Ho heard about it, she was furious. Who do you think I am?! I'm the eldest daughter of the Ho family!!! You think you can treat me like a slave just because I like you?! That's unacceptable!!!
Shen Fang chuckled and presented the 99 white roses he had just bought on the way.
"I'm just studying. I'll be right there after I finish. Don't be angry, women age faster when they're angry." Pansy Ho took the roses and rolled her eyes.
"What about mine?" Xu Xin asked with a smile.
"Yes, it's in the car. Let's go, you two beautiful ladies, I'll treat you to dinner. I've already made a reservation at Yongfu Club."
"Wow, you booked such a nice place, so you know you made a mistake? Boss, you're really carefree." Xu Xin looked at Shen Fang, feeling helpless. This young boss is really thick-skinned; such a big project, just like that, he's throwing it away without a second thought. Although after working together for so long, Xu Xin knew he was the kind of person who delegated authority, this was a multi-party collaboration. If she wasn't there to oversee things, what if something went wrong? This is a project worth hundreds of billions, boss!!!
The two women got into the car and greeted Shen Kun.
"Sister Xin, it's all thanks to you. It's not that I'm naive; I trust people and don't use those I don't trust. I don't know much about real estate; at most, I can invest capital and discuss plans. These things can be resolved over the phone. The rest still needs to be done by professionals. Besides, things have been going smoothly for so long, and I haven't seen you come to ask for help. Bu Le and I have been quite relaxed."
"Who said we didn't encounter any difficulties? It's just that thanks to your good older brother, several local indigenous families who wanted to get a share of the pie were all stopped by your older brother."
"That settles it then. This project is overseen by the Tang family, so you can proceed with confidence. How's the loan going?"
"It's going very smoothly. China Construction Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, Agricultural Bank of China, and Ping An Insurance have all signed credit lines to support us. We have also confirmed these five banks as our mortgage partners."
"At which points will construction begin?"
"Construction has already begun. There are still three plots of land that haven't been acquired yet. Once those are acquired, full-scale construction can begin. Then there are the issues of resettling some residents. We are currently considering two options: first, rebuilding the houses; second, resolving the issue with money. This may require approximately 2 billion yuan in additional funding."
"Let's decide based on the residents' vote. In the long run, rebuilding houses is the most beneficial option for them, but given the current environment, they will definitely choose to solve the problem with money."
Pansy Ho nodded: "In the current domestic housing market, rebuilding residential housing is definitely the best solution for the original residents. However, money can be a powerful motivator, and the social environment in Shanghai is quite complex. Most people probably wouldn't choose this option."
Shen Fang sneered: "In just five years, these people who took the money and left it at that will know what regret is. But good advice is useless to a gluttonous fool. It's their choice."
Upon arriving at the entrance of Yongfu Club, the four got out of the car, with Pansy Ho immediately linking her arm with Shen Fang's. Shen Fang glanced at her but didn't say anything; this woman was still up to her old tricks.
Xu Xin glanced at the two of them and smiled slightly.
Following the waiter's lead, we entered a private room at Yongfu Club, a gathering place for prominent figures in Shanghai, frequented by the children of officials and the wealthy—the city's richest people. Entry required a membership card, and a single meal there cost at least tens of thousands of yuan. This price was already in effect in the 1990s.
China has never lacked wealthy people, especially in Shanghai.
As soon as they entered the room, Song Jiongming, Li Changming, Zhang Tianliang, and Wu Shaohua, who were already sitting inside, all stood up.
With a smile, Chen introduced each person to Pansy Ho.
"Song Tai, the director of Shanghai TV station, is also the director of Shanghai Film Bureau, Minister Li of Shanghai Tourism and Culture Department, Zhang Tai of Zhejiang, and Wu Tai of Jiangsu TV."
Xu Xin, Pansy Ho, and Shen Kun greeted each of them in turn.
Everyone took their seats.
Pansy Ho blinked: "I knew you didn't just invite the two of us to dinner."
Shen Fang offered cigarettes to the bigwigs present. These people were all introduced by Han Sanping, except for the one from the Ministry of Tourism and Culture.
"Let's talk business a bit. You're developing real estate in Shanghai, and you'll definitely need the help of the local media to promote your projects. Mr. Song, you'll have to lend a hand then."
Song Jiongming smiled and said, "It's nothing. I really didn't expect that Mr. He and Mr. Xu, who are prominent figures in Pudong recently, know Mr. Shen."
Xu Xin smiled slightly: "The major shareholder of Binjiang Road Real Estate is our President Shen, but he just hasn't shown up. I am President Shen's spokesperson."
Upon hearing this, the three station directors present were secretly startled, but Li Changming remained unsurprised. Although his position in charge of the cultural department was considered a sinecure, his rank was still considerable. He already knew that Shen Fang was the major shareholder behind the Binjiang Road project when it was launched.
Zhang Tianliang gave a thumbs up: "Heroes emerge from among the young."
Shen Fang waved his hand: "You flatter me. Here's the thing: Song Tai, Zhang Tai, and Wu Tai, I think you leaders have all seen the project proposals for the variety shows we're currently producing, The Voice of China, Running Man, and The Masked Singer. We're here today to discuss these projects, and also to talk about the sales of our Dragon Soaring dramas this year."
