Chapter 30 She is stupid and rich
Fang Yue glared at Lin Ruoyan, wondering what was wrong with this idiot daughter? Did she see that she was determined to get this piece of land and was deliberately raising the price? Fine, then, she'd play along.
Fang Yue considered herself a competent professional, with some successful track records in the South. She was certain that if the land price for this project exceeded 60 million yuan, and if they didn't hold onto the property and wait for a few years, given Beijing's current purchasing power, they wouldn't be able to make any money at all. So, could Lin Ruoyan have another way to make money? Or perhaps she had connections to bid high for the land without paying the high price, and then return it later?
If the CY District Committee really does this, then it's a bit shady, and it's better not to get involved in such muddy waters.
Since that idiot daughter of the Lin family wanted to raise the price, she would just follow suit and raise the price even higher. She could just give up the project and teach that idiot a lesson.
Having made up her mind, Fang Yue also prepared the number plate in her hand. As long as Lin Ruoyan raised the price by one million, she would match it.
Seeing Fang Yue's gloomy expression, Lin Ruoyan roughly guessed her psychological state. She simply thought she was a fool, just trying to argue out of spite. Eventually, if she raised the price to a certain point, Fang Yue would definitely withdraw. After all, Fang Yue's bottom line was 60 million. If Lin Ruoyan kept raising the price by one million, the two of them would probably continue to argue for several rounds, which would waste too much time.
So Lin Ruoyan directly called out a price: "I'll add 20 million."
"Ah?" The host almost thought he was daydreaming. After thinking about what the boss of Lin's Real Estate Company said just now, it was understandable to raise the price by raising the sign. The current bid was only 60 million. Wouldn't normal people usually increase the price by one or two million?
It was obvious that if she added another million or two, no one would follow. Miss Lin raised the price by 20 million. Was it a slip of the tongue? She couldn't even tell the difference between ten thousand and a hundred thousand. In theory, she shouldn't be holding up a sign in such a formal setting.
The prodigal system didn't care what the point of bidding so much was. After waiting for so long, it finally saw the host seemingly competing with others in spending large sums of money, and couldn't help but praise it profusely: "Host, you are awesome! Just do it! You will definitely surpass Fang Yue and kill her with money."
Fang Yue's sign trembled, nearly dropping it. She suspected she'd misheard. But isn't that what everyone says? Every company present had submitted a calculation form as the basis for their bids, but Lin Ruoyan's desk was empty, with only a bottle of mineral water on it. Didn't she bring any reference materials or brains?
If Lin Ruoyan had only raised the price by one or two million, Fang Yue could still have raised it a few more times. But now that she has directly raised the price by 20 million, Fang Yue really doesn't have the courage to raise it any higher.
The host asked three times but no one responded. Lin Ruoyan did not regret saying anything like she had called the wrong name. With a knock of the gavel, the auction came to a successful conclusion.
Representatives from the four state-owned real estate companies stepped forward and sincerely congratulated Boss Lin on his high-priced land purchase. After all, it was for the overall prosperity of Beijing's real estate industry, and since they weren't paying for it themselves, it was fine. A plot of land with a base price of 40 million yuan sold for 80 million yuan. It's likely that new plots in the surrounding area will follow suit. High land prices are bound to drive up housing prices, and rising tides lift all boats. This is a positive trend.
The happiest people were the CY District Committee. Initially, they weren't optimistic about Lin Ruoyan's young company or people, fearing she was just there to observe and learn. She hadn't made an offer, so no one took her seriously.
Now, look what happens. Lin Ruoyan has made a big splash by acquiring the land directly for 80 million, which is double the premium. This will definitely be beneficial to the subsequent land auction.
The leaders of the committee all looked at her enthusiastically, as if she were the God of Wealth. They shook hands and greeted her warmly, saying that she was courageous and had vision. If there were any difficulties in the future project development, she could just tell them. The committee would definitely solve the problems it could solve, and if they couldn't, they would help coordinate various resources and would definitely not delay the development progress of Lin's Real Estate Company.
Feng Qiang, who was following nearby, didn't understand professional issues like land prices. However, after Boss Lin bought the land at a high price, he gained the attention of the leaders of the CY District Committee, who personally promised to solve the problem. This kind of convenience might not be obtained by spending money in other ways. Of course, he admired Boss Lin's foresight.
Fang Yue originally wanted to just walk away. She had been preparing for almost half a month, working tirelessly on calculations, and had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars just to ask for favors and connections before being invited in. She was determined to get the project, but in the end, Lin Ruoyan intervened and she didn't get it. How could she not be angry?
These leaders of the cy district committee only care about money and not people. Once that kind of invisible network of contacts is established, the Lin family will definitely be able to prosper in the cy district in the future. Feng Qiang understands this principle, and of course Fang Yue can understand it too.
But Fang Yue would have been rude to just leave now without coming up to congratulate him. If she wanted to continue to make a living in Beijing, she would have to rely on the Lin Group. So Fang Yue could only suppress her anger and, with a forced smile, stepped forward to offer congratulations.
She listened to those prestigious people complimenting Lin Ruoyan one after another, praising her like a flower. Finally, she couldn't help but say in a sarcastic tone, "Ms. Lin, when are you going to pay the land fee? I heard that for a formal land auction like this, the land fee should be paid in full as soon as possible."
Anyone working in real estate could sense a tinge of tension in these words. Today's land auction was just a spectacle, with the payment and paperwork to be paid in installments, all to be discussed carefully behind closed doors between the buyer and seller after the meeting. Who could really hand over 80 million yuan all at once? Generally, transactions are conducted in a gradual, if sometimes unspecified, manner, with payments spread over several years, to keep the committee on hold and avoid embarrassment.
But they didn't know that Lin Ruoyan had a spending quota of 100 million yuan every month. She had been planning this for a long time and today was finally the day to "bleed" freely. She would definitely not talk about installment payments.
What if the committee leaders carefully review her qualifications and find that her company is newly established and is still recruiting professionals, and are unwilling to give her the land and plan to re-shoot it, then wouldn’t all her work be in vain?
The longer the night, the more dreams you will have. Delay will lead to unexpected events. Paying the money must not be delayed.
Fang Yue's reminder was spot on. Lin Ruoyan gave her a genuinely grateful smile and said, "Thank you, Sister Fang, for the reminder. It was your talk about real estate at the last charity reception that inspired me to take the plunge today. As for the land loan, I plan to pay the full amount today during the bank's business hours."
Fang Yue was so surprised that a lightbulb could fit in her mouth. Her mind went blank and she couldn't think of a word to say. She couldn't just tear her face off and call the real daughter of a rich man stupid and rich, right? But she really couldn't imagine that Lin Ruoyan would be so reckless. Not only did she bid a high price for the land, but she also planned to pay the land price in one lump sum.
It's obvious that this guy doesn't understand real estate and is playing around. Fang Yue took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and comforted herself. She would have something to cry about when this idiot loses all his money in the future!
Regardless of what others thought, the committee members were already beaming with joy. The leader immediately jumped in, arranging for his subordinates to quickly verify the receiving account with Lin and to quickly fill out the sales contract.
Lin Ruoyan pointed at Qin Shuang and said, "Just check the contract with my assistant Xiao Qin. I only have one request: I pay the full amount today."
If she completes this month's target one day earlier, she can enjoy the rest of her life in peace, right?
