Chapter 39 Handling the Bidding Site with Ease
After a simple breakfast, the two cars parked together at the entrance of the lobby.
Song Yinxi was dressed in a well-tailored business suit, the sunlight shining on her, making her look radiant. She smiled slightly and looked at Duan Jinchi: "Honey, the business world is like a battlefield. Don't cry if you lose your bid."
These words sounded familiar, and Duan Jinchi raised an eyebrow and smiled: "It's good to have confidence. If you succeed, I'll treat you to the celebration banquet."
“No, no, no,” Song Yinxi waved her finger lightly, “Of course, we have to host our own celebration banquet to truly enjoy it.”
She waved casually, "See you there."
The verbal battle is just the prelude; the real battlefield is at the bidding site.
When Song Yinxi arrived, many company representatives had already gathered outside the venue. Signing in, receiving name tags and conference materials—everything proceeded smoothly and in an orderly fashion.
"Sister-in-law! You came in person!" Xie Shumo grinned and leaned closer. "Go easy on me, I want this land too."
Song Yinxi smiled calmly: "Little brother, this land is not anyone's private property. Everyone is competing fairly."
"President Duan is here!"
"President Duan actually attended in person!"
A murmur of discussion arose from the surrounding crowd.
Song Yinxi caught a glimpse of that familiar figure out of the corner of her eye, and had to admit that Duan Jinchi had an incomparably handsome face, and could instantly become the focus of attention wherever he went.
She deliberately looked away and said to Xie Shumo, "See? Your brother is here too. Go ask him if he'll let you."
"My brother?" Xie Shumo shook his head dramatically. "He's ruthless and merciless in the business world!"
Song Yinxi couldn't agree more.
She pretended not to see Duan Jinchi and walked straight into the venue with her assistant Min Xin.
Duan Jinchi watched her resolute back, a sense of helplessness rising in his heart—this woman's ability to turn her back on people has certainly improved.
Inside the venue, Song Yinxi took her seat in the bidding area.
This wasn't her first time participating in a bidding process, nor was it her first time clashing with Duan Jinchi here, but today, her desire to win was exceptionally strong.
The thought of making Duan Jinchi a defeated opponent is incredibly satisfying.
Especially since they're now in a sham marriage.
The thought of how I can mock and ridicule you when I get back is exhilarating.
The premise is that she can win the bid.
The meeting officially began.
After the judges took their seats, the host announced that the project presentation session would begin.
"First, please welcome the representative from Leixi Real Estate to present the Fortune Center commercial complex project."
Representatives took the stage and spoke eloquently about their vision for integrating shopping malls, office buildings, and hotels.
One of the reviewers, Mr. Li, interrupted directly: "The plan lacks originality and is exactly the same as the development ideas from twenty years ago. Does Jingzhou need another homogenous commercial landmark?"
The representative looked embarrassed and the meeting ended hastily.
Song Yinxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief—in comparison, Changqing's plan was ingenious and focused on the most challenging elderly care projects at present.
"Next up, Xie's Real Estate, Starry Sky City Cultural Tourism Resort."
Xie Shumo personally took charge, outlining the blueprint for popular photo spots, light shows, and a cluster of homestays.
Professor Wang, one of the reviewers, frowned and said, "Blindly following trends is flashy but impractical. It neither integrates with the local cultural heritage nor addresses the pain point of seasonal tourist shortages. Popular tourist attractions are always just temporary successes and cannot last."
Xie Shumo dejectedly stepped off the stage, secretly glancing at Duan Jinchi, only to find him staring intently at Song Yinxi.
We're doomed!
We're doomed!
He had previously approached Song Yinxi and told her to let him participate in the bidding, but actually, his father only wanted to give him some experience.
As a result, the tender document was criticized like this.
Luckily, Dad didn't come, otherwise he would have heard and deducted half of my allowance.
The subsequent statements from the other companies also failed to generate much buzz.
Until Herun Real Estate's "You Ran Villa" project was launched.
Chen Shan took the stage and stated, "The beautiful lake, the heated swimming pool, the private golf course... it sounds like a paradise." Judge Zhang pondered, "But whether using such a high-quality plot of land to serve a very small number of people is in the public interest is worth discussing."
Song Yinxi glanced at Duan Jinchi, whose expression remained calm, as if he had everything under control.
Finally, it was Changqing Group's turn.
"Next, Ms. Song Yinxi, representative of Changqing Group, will present the nursing home project."
Song Yinxi calmly stood up and walked confidently onto the podium.
Her voice was clear and steady:
"Distinguished judges, what we are proposing is not just a simple nursing home, but a 'smart elderly care ecological community.' The project has a total investment of 820 million yuan and aims to create a benchmark elderly care base nationwide."
"The community will introduce an internationally advanced smart elderly care system, equipped with health monitoring, emergency call and telemedicine platforms. At the same time, we have planned a landscape park and wetland covering 40% of the area, which will be open to the public to achieve intergenerational integration and community symbiosis."
She paused briefly, her gaze sweeping across the judges' panel: "More importantly, the project will collaborate with insurance companies to develop customized pension products to ensure a stable funding chain; and partner with local educational institutions to train professional nursing staff, which is expected to create over 500 long-term jobs."
She concluded, "This is not just a commercial project, but also a socially responsible investment—it allows the elderly to enjoy their later years, provides green spaces for citizens, creates employment opportunities for young people, and adds warmth to the city."
After the presentation, there was a moment of silence in the room, followed by hushed murmurs.
Chief judge Mr. Li nodded slowly: "The concept is novel and well-considered. It is both commercially viable and demonstrates corporate social responsibility."
Another judge added: "In particular, the intergenerational park design and job creation combine humanistic care with economic benefits."
Mr. Zhang flipped through the project proposal and asked with great interest, "Could you elaborate on the specific implementation plan for the smart elderly care system?"
Song Yinxi answered confidently, explaining things clearly and logically.
Her clear logic and sincere attitude clearly impressed the judging panel.
Below the stage, Duan Jinchi gazed at her radiant presence, a barely perceptible smile curving his lips.
Min Xin was incredibly excited, clenching her fists with elation, feeling that things were looking promising!
Song Yinxi stepped down, and the host stepped on stage. "Today's bidding is now over. The results will be announced on the official website in a week. Meeting adjourned."
Hearing the words "meeting adjourned," Song Yinxi's heart, which had been tense all day, finally settled down.
The judges got up and left the scene one after another.
She remained seated as Duan Jinchi approached her. "Wife, the project is good, and your presentation is even better."
"Thank you for the compliment. Your project is quite good. If I were a homeowner there, I would be very happy to own one." Song Yinxi stood up. "But..."
Duan Jinchi raised a handsome eyebrow, "But?"
"But I think where I live now is great! I love my home!"
Duan Jinchi's previously depressed mood instantly brightened.
Should I give him candy again?
so good.
Does she really like their family that much?
"Shall we have dinner together?" Duan Jinchi suggested.
"No, the company's employees have worked so hard on this project for so long, they deserve a reward." Song Yinxi patted his arm. "I'm going to have a get-together with them. Bye-bye, see you tonight."
See you tonight.
