Chapter 13
This is how Song Shi and Zhou Yue get along, and it is also the reason why HERMEZ was able to gain a foothold in a foreign country in just a few years and become a force that cannot be ignored.
Song Shiyu was gifted with strategic vision, financial control, land selection, and macro-planning, and his vision was terrifyingly accurate.
As for Zhou Yue, although he usually looks like a cynical ruffian, he is actually a top student from a top university. He is extremely capable in program deepening, project management, post-operation and... some unconventional methods.
The two complement each other's strengths and cooperate seamlessly.
The name HERMEZ has gradually become well-known in the local business community, and its reputation has also spread to the country. However, in the country, apart from the two of them and Bai Siang who occasionally participates, no one knows that this company with huge potential has the most direct relationship with the young master of the Song family who "only knows how to eat, drink and have fun."
In the past, when Song Shi and those so-called overseas trips were made, most of the time was actually spent here.
"The east side of the city is already in our pocket. Now, there's another coveted piece of land in the city center that many people want to take over."
As Zhou Yue spoke, he operated a few times on the control panel, and the holographic projection switched, showing an image of a plot of land located in a prime location in the city, with detailed data listed next to it.
"There are more and more people eyeing this piece of land."
Song Shiyu's eyes became sharp.
This piece of land is even better than the one in the east of the city in terms of location, area and potential value.
However, he quickly pointed out the key issue: "The biggest difficulty with this land is that there is an old, abandoned subway exploration tunnel running through the core area. This tunnel requires extremely high costs and expertise to properly handle. This greatly increases the difficulty and risk of development, but it will also discourage many competitors."
He paused, his finger sliding across the relevant geological report on his tablet. "Although this is a thorny shortcoming, if it can be perfectly resolved, it can actually become our technological barrier. It won't affect its core value. Let's focus on preparing the bid and bidding."
Zhou Yue nodded, his eyes equally focused: "At present, our biggest competitor is ECLAT (Yihui Group). Preliminary assessment shows that the chances of winning are about 40% and 60%." ECLAT is a family consortium with deep local roots and strong strength. In the eyes of many people, it is reasonable for them to have a 60% chance of winning.
But Song Shiyu didn't show any sign of discouragement on his face. He stared at the plot of land on the holographic projection with a firm gaze, almost like a hunter. "ECLAT didn't beat us in the last bid for the port area. This time, the result is the same."
He always tries his best to get what he likes, and he believes that he has the ability to get it.
Zhou Yue looked at him, without a doubt about the weight of these words.
He knew Song Shiyu too well. Once he set his goal, he would mobilize all his wisdom, resources and perseverance to strive for it, and he would often do his best.
The outside world only sees the Song family's young master as a dandy with a good fate and the chance to reincarnate, living a life of luxury, carefree, and playing with the world.
Only he and Song Shiyu, who grew up together, knew how hardworking and tenacious Song Shiyu was.
He still remembers that when he was a child, Song Shiyu was smart, kind, and helpful. He always ranked first in every exam and was always surrounded by many "friends".
However, interests always deteriorate as we get older.
What impressed me most was that in high school, Song Shiyu sponsored a poor student with excellent academic performance who grew up in an orphanage.
Song Shiyu really felt that the other person had a hard time and didn't want him to drop out of school due to poverty.
Until that day, Song Shiyu, who was originally taking a swimming lesson, was trying to catch Zhou Yue who had skipped class and went back to class. The two of them were in the gymnasium locker room when they heard two familiar voices inside.
"Hey, how much did Song Shiyu give you this time? Can you try to ask for more next time? He's so rich anyway, he shouldn't mind, right?"
"What's the rush? After I pay the tuition, I'll save the rest. This rich idiot, if you say a few nice words to him, flatter him, and praise him a little, he will really take you seriously. This money, it's so easy to come by."
"Hahahaha, that's right, he's stupid and has a lot of money!"
"The next round of funding will be here soon. We'll go and enjoy it then."
Zhou Yue will always remember Song Shiyu's expression at that time - the face that always had a sunny smile on it instantly lost all color, his lips were tightly pursed, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly because of extreme anger and sadness of being deceived. In those beautiful eyes, there was disbelief and pain of being severely hurt.
That was the first time Zhou Yue saw Song Shiyu lose his composure like that.
He was furious at the time and rushed in to beat up the two ungrateful guys. Song Shiyu then joined the battle and the two of them teamed up to beat the two guys into the hospital.
Since then, Song Shiyu seemed to have completely changed. He gradually put away all his sharpness and sincerity, and began to deliberately create the image of a hedonistic, unlearned and unskillful dandy, using "indulgent and decadent" as his protective color.
He hid the serious, enthusiastic, and soft-hearted self deep down, and he also hid his true abilities and thoughts deep down.
In the eyes of the outside world, he became Song Shiyu, who fits the stereotype of a rich young master and only knows how to enjoy himself.
Song Shiyu noticed Zhou Yue's prolonged gaze, raised his head from the plot information, touched his face, and deliberately put on a narcissistic expression: "I know I'm so handsome that it's infuriating, but you don't have to stare at me so obsessively, right? I'm the man you can't have."
Zhou Yue pulled himself out of his memories, amused by his words. He cursed and threw the folder at him, "Get lost! Stop disgusting me!"
Song Shiyu took the folder with a smile, and the atmosphere between the two was still so cheerful.
But that heavy past, like a reef under the water, always exists in their hearts, and has also shaped Song Shiyu into today, who seems cynical but is actually more sober and resilient than anyone else.
Song Shiyu was dressed in simple white casual clothes, with an upright posture. He was concentrating on the development plan on the tablet in his hand. Without looking up, he replied calmly, "This preliminary development plan you made is also first-class in terms of foresight and feasibility. We both agree."
