Yan Aidang miscalculated, and so did Yan Xiaonan this time. Although they received huge sums of money for demolition and compensation, the bidding for the land was extremely fierce.
The news may have been leaked, and all the developers are banding together to fight back against external threats. Their motto is: even if I can't get this land, I'll make the Yan family pay a price.
What they didn't know was that Yu Shu had a special ability. All the developers' bids were transparent to Yu Shu. No matter how well you sealed them, you couldn't stop him from seeing through them at a glance.
Yu Shu whispered a few words in Ye Chenming's ear: the bid price is too high. Originally, they planned to use 70% of the demolition compensation to bid, but now it seems that not only is it not enough, but they will probably have to pour some more in.
If that's the case, their prepared funds will be clearly insufficient, considering that the cost of the blueprints drawn by Yan Xiaonan is definitely not low.
There's definitely no money available for the media and film sector. Half of the profits have already been distributed as employee benefits, and two new films have been launched, so there's simply no room for further action.
Clothing manufacturing companies have stockpiled large quantities of raw materials because they knew in advance that raw material prices were going to rise sharply, so they stockpiled enough for at least two years' worth of use.
The money in the Beijing club is also hard to come by, because the club is old and needs to be renovated. This money has to come entirely from the profits, and no shareholder can escape it.
The real estate company was established not long ago and could only break even; the profits were not yet substantial enough. So, only the securities company could allocate some funds, and at most, new business could be suspended for the time being.
Even without the money to build a large supermarket, the land still had to be acquired. Ye Chenming asked Yu Shu to change the price on the tender documents. Yu Shu glanced at the tender documents again and wrote a thousand yuan more than the highest price. "Hmph, let's make you all furious."
When Yan Xiaonan learned of the situation, she wasn't in a hurry. She reminded Yu Shu and Ye Chenming that there were still so many raw stones in the back house that hadn't been sold yet.
These words were like a shot of adrenaline, instantly lifting the spirits of the two of them. Yes, they still had over 100 million yuan worth of raw stones. Who in that jewelry company should they contact? Yu Shu tapped her head. How could she have forgotten?
Yu Shu still couldn't recall the name of the jewelry company's CEO. The host on stage had already begun announcing the names of the winning companies and inviting them to come up on stage to collect their bid documents.
Ye Chenming quickly stepped forward and smiled at the merchants who were deliberately inflating the price, saying, "Thank you all for your kindness, but we are fortunate to have obtained this landmark. Congratulations!"
Everyone sitting in the audience was a shrewd individual. Upon hearing Ye Chenming's pointed remarks, their expressions changed. Ye Yushu recognized everyone in the audience, knowing that if there was a chance to cooperate in business in the future, he would either rip them off or refuse them outright.
Seeing Yu Shu's focused gaze, Chen Sheng and Chen Bo felt sorry for those people, and at the same time, they reminded themselves not to do things that harm others without benefiting themselves, otherwise...
In fact, Zhu Baodi had always kept in touch with Yan Xiaonan. After returning to the capital, he began to collect information about Yan Xiaonan's rise to power. The more he read, the more alarmed he became. Yan Xiaonan seemed to be a prophet, always able to be one step ahead.
And those jadeite pieces, the good ones that used to cost one million, now you might not be able to buy even three million. No wonder Yan Xiaonan was unwilling to cut the stones on the spot. On the one hand, he didn't want to show off, and on the other hand, he was probably waiting for the price of raw materials to rise.
Good rough stones are becoming increasingly rare at the Myanmar jade auctions. When you finally find one, it's priced at an astronomical price. Therefore, Zhu Baodi is in dire need of good materials.
Zhu Baodi was in a meeting at the company's headquarters in Hong Kong, discussing purchasing more rough stones at the Myanmar jade auction, when his phone rang. He glanced at the phone with disgust, as he hated being disturbed during his meetings.
He was originally going to ignore it, but when he caught a glimpse of the phone number he had memorized, he had a sudden thought and quickly picked up the phone. But the more anxious he was, the more likely he was to make a mistake, and the phone fell to the ground.
The phone stopped ringing abruptly. Zhu Baodi was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He picked up the phone to call back, but the phone was out of power. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the battery had been knocked out.
His son, Zhu Jiajun, quickly handed his phone to his father, and the staff nearby helped pick up the phone and battery and quickly put them back together.
Yan Xiaonan noticed that no one was answering the phone and assumed that Zhu Baodi's phone was not with her. She thought for a moment and decided to call again later, but the phone rang and she saw that the number displayed was an unfamiliar number.
After thinking about it, I decided to answer anyway: "Hello?"
"Nan Nan, this is Zhu Baodi. I'm so sorry, I dropped the phone. I'm calling you now using my son's phone. I apologize." Zhu Baodi quickly explained.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you still need jade this year?" Yan Xiaonan asked.
"Yes, we need it. Nan Nan, are you willing to give up the raw stones you have?" Zhu Baodi asked excitedly.
“Yes, why don’t you bring your people here? I’m planning to cut the stone right away. You can pay me when you see the goods.” Yan Xiaonan asked.
"Okay, okay, I'll book the tickets right away and come right over," Zhu Baodi said excitedly.
“Come over next week. My daughter Yushu and her father are still in Shanghai. I’ll have Yushu make this call when they get back,” Yan Xiaonan said.
"Okay, okay, this is my son's phone number, his name is Zhu Jiajun, thank you Nannan, thank you Nannan."
After Zhu Baodi hung up the phone, he noticed everyone else in the conference room staring at him in astonishment. He then realized he had been hunched over while making the call...
He handed the phone to his eldest son and said with a smile, "Jiajun, you can't turn this phone off 24 hours a day. Princess Yushu will call you. We've got some good stuff coming up this year."
Zhu Jiajun had seen Yu Shu's photo. Although he hadn't been on that trip, he had heard his uncle talk about the green brush that appeared when they encountered danger. Although his uncle didn't know who was responsible, Zhu Jiajun had a feeling that Yu Shu was the one who did it.
"Dad, how about I book a plane ticket to Beijing right now, prepare everything I need, and I can get there as soon as the phone rings?" Zhu Jiajun said anxiously.
Zhu Baodi smiled. His eldest son was four years older than Princess Yushu and had just graduated from Harvard last year. He was considered an outstanding individual. If they could trick the princess back—no, if they could win her back—the Zhu family would be incredibly lucky.
Zhu Jiajun picked up his phone and left, while Zhu Baodi continued the meeting, assigning tasks for this year's Myanmar jade auction, but reducing the amount to half of the original plan.
He also instructed the finance department to prepare all available funds within a week, because he knew that the jadeite here in Nan Nan's possession was definitely of high quality, and the money he had withheld might not even be enough.
