Of course, even though Mr. Zhang was tempted by a deal involving hundreds of billions, he didn't make a decision on the spot and had to go back for a meeting.
But Feng Bing felt that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this investment was a sure thing.
So after the negotiations ended, he called Gao Yan again.
At this moment, Gao Yan is meeting with the owner of the Heavenly Garden.
The other person was named Chen Shizhong. He was in his early forties, slightly overweight, with sunken eyes and a haggard expression. It seemed that things had not been going well for him lately.
The price of the villa has already been agreed upon, there's nothing to argue about.
So, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, the contract was signed.
Ye Haibo was also present today, and he even invited staff from the Housing Management Bureau.
They helped with the transfer of ownership on-site.
After the formalities were completed, Gao Yan transferred the money directly to Chen Shizhong. Upon receiving the money, Chen Shizhong visibly breathed a sigh of relief, indicating that he really needed the funds.
"What does this Mr. Chen do?"
Gao Yan asked casually.
"They run physical clothing stores, and their operations are quite large, but they've been declining all these years!" Ye Haibo said with some regret.
"That's inevitable!"
Gao Yan said, "Online shopping is the trend, and clothing stores will only face increasing difficulties in the future!"
"That's right, the real estate business is becoming increasingly difficult due to policy adjustments!"
Ye Haibo said with a sigh, "So it turns out that in real estate, as long as you're bold enough, you can auction off a piece of land first."
Because land acquired through auction only requires a partial deposit, there is ample time to use the land to obtain a bank loan and use the loan proceeds to pay the remaining balance.
Then, they can simply hold a groundbreaking ceremony, build a model apartment, and start pre-sales.
The whole process can be described as getting something for nothing.
But that's not possible now.
Acquiring land is difficult, obtaining loans is difficult, and getting a pre-sale permit is not something that can be done by simply digging a couple of shovelfuls. Therefore, trying to get something for nothing is simply not feasible!
Let's get back to the main topic.
Ye Haibo helped Gao Yan a lot in acquiring this villa.
So, Gao Yan treated him to lunch at noon and said he would come over to ask for a drink at his son's one-month celebration!
In the afternoon.
After receiving Fang Zhenzhen's call, Gao Yan rushed to Xingchen Network.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Gao Yan asked in a deep voice.
"Hundreds of suppliers have terminated their contracts!"
Fang Zhenzhen handed Gao Yan a list, which Gao Yan reviewed. These were products that had their supply suspended, and they were all products that sold well on Sunday Mall.
"Can you find an alternative supplier?" Gao Yan asked.
"able!"
Fang Zhenzhen said, "But it will take time. These products are our best-selling items on Black Sunday. Once they are out of stock, it will definitely affect our reputation. If we are manipulated by malicious people, I'm afraid..."
"Whose arm is this?" Gao Yan asked.
"Both Al and JD.com have made their moves!"
Fang Zhenzhen smiled wryly. They had anticipated that the AL Group and JD.com would take action against them, but they did not expect it to happen so quickly.
"You forgot, Singles' Day is the day after tomorrow. If they don't make a move now, it'll be too late!"
Gao Yan sneered that shopping festivals are very important to Taobao and JD.com, and can even have a significant impact on their stock prices. However, the weekly Black Sunday on Sunday Mall offers even bigger discounts than their shopping festivals.
This has already had a significant negative impact on the shopping festival.
They had already suffered a loss during the last National Day shopping festival, and in order to prevent Singles' Day from being affected, they had to curb the Sunday Mall.
Moreover, Gao Yan estimated that targeting their suppliers was only the first step; they couldn't possibly have only this many methods!
Just as Gao Yan predicted.
Soon, Fang Zhenzhen received two pieces of news. First, the advertisers who were cooperating with them broke their contracts one after another, and the advertisers who were in talks also stopped negotiating.
In addition, several courier companies that had a relatively good working relationship with Sunday Mall did not directly break their contracts, but they did request price increases.
Sunday Mall's goods are already sold very cheaply, with very little profit. Now that express delivery prices have increased, Sunday Mall will not make any money and will instead lose money!
What should we do?
Fang Zhenzhen asked in a flustered manner. The matter had come too suddenly, catching her off guard. For a moment, she couldn't think of a way to deal with it.
"Let me think about it!"
Gao Yan looked thoughtful.
After a while, he had an idea: martial arts families and sects would all have their own businesses, since practicing martial arts is very expensive.
If you don't do business, how long can you live off your savings?
Now Gao Yan is a celebrity in the martial arts world, and he wields the powerful weapon of medicinal wine, so even the five super martial arts families dare not easily offend him.
Therefore, he could have sought help from martial arts families or sects.
However, he didn't know what businesses these martial arts families and sects were involved in.
The best way is to add them to a WeChat group and ask them questions.
Thinking about this...
Gao Yan picked up his phone and dialed Qin Zhihui's number!
Once the call connected, Gao Yan asked, "Old Qin, does our martial arts community have a WeChat group?"
Qin Zhihui said, "No, but your idea is good. It would be convenient to communicate if there were a WeChat group!"
Gao Yan said, "Okay, I'll create a WeChat group first, and then invite the heads and leaders of every martial arts family and sect into it!"
Qin Zhihui: "Great, add me to the group after you've created it!"
After ending the call, Gao Yan quickly created a WeChat group and added Qin Zhihui, Sun Yuanlin (the head of the Sun family), and Wei Wanggu (the head of the Wei family) to the group.
