"Okay, you're the boss. If you're really ready to join, I have no objection." Chen Mengyao reminded him, "But this area, perhaps the key is for you to control it yourself. I may not be able to help too much. I personally think that you need to find a good partner and expand your network as soon as possible. Ma Ming is certainly reliable, but Mingcheng Real Estate's foundation is still a little weak. They have always been in the business of developing and selling houses, but in fact, they make money faster by speculating in land. Obviously, you need other partners."
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "Okay, in that case, I'll go play a game."
Shrugging, Shen Mengyao said, "I have no objection to this."
…
It only took a week for Shenlong Group and Mingcheng Real Estate to sign the contract.
The two plots of land cover a total area of more than 100,000 square meters, of which Tang Xiaobao personally owns more than 20,000 square meters and develops it into a private manor, while the other more than 100,000 square meters of land is planned to be developed into apartments for employees of the Shenlong Group to live in.
The design drawings have not been finalized yet, but the initial 10 million yuan in funds has already been transferred to Mingcheng Real Estate's account.
Tang Xiaobao met Ma Ming again.
Sure enough, Ma Ming's mood improved a lot.
Ma Ming and his daughter have depended on each other for many years. Now that his daughter is gone, he always feels depressed in his free time.
But once he has something to do, he becomes a workaholic again.
"What did you say? Give me the Bawan Expressway project?"
Ma Ming was shocked after hearing what Tang Xiaobao said.
Tang Xiaobao nodded and said, "At present, you need to open a road construction company and complete the preliminary preparations as quickly as possible, and then conduct public bidding. The government has urged us several times to start construction as soon as possible."
"Xiaobao, is this not a good idea?"
Ma Ming felt a little embarrassed: "You are giving me money."
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "Uncle Ma, we are all family, there is no need for you to be so polite."
A family?
Ma Ming was stunned and felt happy.
There is something else behind this.
It seems that Tang Xiaobao has finally figured it out and decided to accept Ma Xiaofeng.
How could he not be happy.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you and do it as soon as possible." Ma Ming agreed readily and became energetic in an instant.
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "Also, like I said last time, I have a suggestion. I've been paying attention to and studying the real estate market lately. Profits will remain extremely high in the next few years, so I want to get involved in the real estate industry. However, I'm a complete novice in this field, so I need someone to guide me. So, how about we start a company together?"
"You want to invest in real estate?"
Ma Ming's eyes lit up. "That's great news, Xiaobao. Let me tell you why I've always insisted on working in real estate. It's because the profits in this industry are absolutely considerable. Even though I haven't made much money over the years, it's because I don't have many connections and have never been able to expand my business. But if we join forces, you can get many projects that I couldn't get before. I've been doing this for decades and I'm very experienced. I have a group of workers under me and a complete sales team. If we work together, we will definitely achieve something."
"I also mean to move out of Bazhong, focusing on Tianhai City and Yanjing City. Yanjing is the capital of China. In recent years, housing prices have remained high, always the highest in the country. Housing prices in the Yangtze River Delta are also considerable. The second-tier cities there have developed well in recent years and are being developed. There is still a lot of land available." Tang Xiaobao said, "But what about your cooperation with the Cao family?"
Ma Ming said bluntly, "Xiaobao, now that things have come to this, I'll be frank. For at least half a year, our partnership has been in name only. Even if they occasionally give me a project, there's almost no profit to speak of. After all, they're one of the four major families, so they have their ways. Every time I suffer a loss, I can't speak out. Of course, I'm also considering your relationship with them. Forget it, since you want to do it, let's work together, and they can't blame me for anything."
Tang Xiaobao frowned. "Then, there's no need to cooperate with them anymore. Since they're so ruthless, you can't be blamed for being disloyal. To be honest, the agency contract between Shenlong Group and them is about to expire. I haven't decided yet whether to let them be the domestic agent this year."
Ma Ming was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand a little. He frowned and said, "Are you in conflict with them? Xiaobao, the Cao family has abundant resources in the military and political circles. It's best not to offend them easily."
"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me." Tang Xiaobao said arrogantly, "Besides, it won't lead to a falling out. Some things are better if we both know each other's secrets. I believe they won't really turn against me."
Ma Ming hesitated to speak.
"Okay, Uncle Ma, since you have no objection, let's cooperate. The specific details of the cooperation will be discussed with you by Mr. Shen."
Ma Ming said, "Don't worry, Uncle Ma is not a greedy person. You can make the decision on the equity. As for the Cao family, you still need to be more careful. After all, if they don't have strong helpers, they won't care about your face, let alone have the confidence to do so."
Tang Xiaobao blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
The reason why he asked Chen Mengyao to come for further negotiations was naturally because he wanted to gain an advantage in terms of equity. He planned that Shenlong Group must hold 70% of the shares, which was the bottom line.
Now it seems that I was thinking too much.
He was very touched that Ma Ming was able to remind him to be wary of the Cao family.
No one else would ever say such a thing. It sounds completely like groundless speculation, but Ma Ming said it, which shows that Ma Ming also has a certain basis for judgment.
…
Jiangnan Airport.
As soon as Cao Ying got off the plane, she was picked up by her assistant.
Her assistant is called Shen Feng. She has been with her for several years and they have a close relationship. He is also one of her most capable people.
This time when she went abroad to discuss a project, Cao Ying kept Chen Feng in the company. After more than a month, she finally got the difficult project.
After getting in the car, Cao Ying's first question was, "Is there anything wrong with the company?"
Shen Feng said as he drove: “Everything is normal, but there are two situations that I may need to report to you.”
"Go ahead."
Cao Ying was a little tired and had lost some weight. She leaned back in her chair, looking exhausted.
"I remember you mentioned to me last time that Mingcheng Real Estate and Shenlong Group have an extraordinary relationship, but strangely, there seem to be some problems in the company's cooperation with them." Shen Mei said.
Cao Ying was stunned, sat up straight, frowned, and asked, "Be more specific."
"Although the company has continued to cooperate with Mingcheng Real Estate over the past six months, none of the projects they collaborated on have been profitable. On the contrary, our collaboration with Qingfeng Real Estate has increased, and several of these projects have generated astonishing profits."
