“Come on, make a gesture. I’ll print out 10,000 copies and sell them to Dai Donglin later.”
Chu Yu smiled at the camera, and Qin Weidong, looking at the person in the lens, was almost stunned.
It has to be said that Chu Yu wore the suit with a sense of sophistication. Walking down the street, from her attire to her demeanor, she looked like a glamorous lady on the Champs-Élysées heading to a fashion event.
Qin Weidong had always thought Chu Yu was a bit too young, but now he suddenly realized that this girl was at the age when Chu Yu was transitioning from girl to woman. Her unique educational and work experience gave her a wonderfully contradictory temperament that attracted men to her.
Qin Weidong suddenly felt a little sorry for Dai Donglin. No wonder Dai Donglin didn't want to go to the army. No man would feel at ease leaving such a beautiful girlfriend to fight on the front lines.
Let's go!
By the time they finished eating and arrived at the venue, it was already afternoon. The land auction was scheduled for 3 p.m., and they went to the venue early to meet the staff.
All the staff had arrived. Qin Weidong and Mi Fei were busy greeting everyone, but Chu Yu stood at the entrance of Pengcheng Hall, looking at the planning map of Pengcheng.
As Chu Yu said, Pengcheng at that time was not the concrete jungle of later generations. The planning map clearly shows that there were few buildings nearby and the streets were far less open than in later generations. The leaders of Pengcheng at that time probably could not have imagined what kind of legend they would develop this small city into.
"What are you looking at?" A middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses and dressed simply walked over.
He looked refined and gentle, like a university professor, so Chu Yu smiled and replied:
"I'm looking at the planning map! Isn't it strange? It looks like just another ordinary day, but each of us is making history. What have I done to deserve being a witness to history?"
Her words piqued the uncle's interest, and he raised an eyebrow, saying:
"Do you believe that Shenzhen can create miracles?"
"That's natural. If we weren't creating miracles, what would we all be doing here? The airfare is quite expensive, and everyone flies in from all over the country just to get a piece of the pie, right?"
"You want to too?"
Chu Yu shook her head and smiled, "I don't want a share of the pie, I want to devour this meat all by myself!"
Her words startled the uncle, who then couldn't help but chuckle. "You're quite frank, young lady. You know, very few people are honest about their desires. People use ideals and ambitions to embellish money. If you say you want to contribute to the development of Pengcheng, it's much more appealing than saying you want to monopolize this lucrative opportunity."
Chu Yu shrugged. What era are we living in? Ideals aren't something you can just talk about. She came to Shenzhen to make money, of course.
“Uncle, look at this planning map. All the plots of land look ordinary, but if we build skyscrapers here and here, like those futuristic skyscrapers in New York, and build overpasses to connect the whole city, along with airports, subways, pedestrian walkways, and supporting parks, theaters, department stores... our Pengcheng will become synonymous with miracles.”
The man paused for a moment before saying:
"This young lady is quite arrogant for her age!"
“Young people should dare to think and act. If you don’t dare to think, how can your dreams come true? Uncle, if I win this land auction, I will develop real estate in Shenzhen and build many high-rise buildings in Shenzhen, so that my name will be remembered in Shenzhen.”
The middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise, "What? You're going to participate in the bidding too?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I be here? I came prepared. My company has the most comprehensive qualifications, and we have the best house designers. No matter what the project is, we can handle it."
"Young lady, how old are you? You look so young, how come you're running a real estate company?"
"I'm already a senior in college. To be honest, besides the real estate company, I also own a few other companies. We're the generation that's riding the wave, and I'm the pig on that wave. I'm just waiting for the wind to pick up so I can fly with it!"
Chu Yu's confident demeanor moved the older man.
He rarely sees such vitality in young people.
This reminded him of his time working in the countryside when he was young.
The uncle's smile brightened. "Alright, alright, then I'll look forward to you taking flight. But be careful not to fly too high or too fast, or you'll fall."
"Don't worry, pigs have parachutes."
The uncle burst into laughter.
Around 3 p.m., Chu Yu took her seat.
Qin Weidong leaned closer and said, “I’ve heard that several high-ranking leaders have come, including the governor of the National Bank and mayors from 17 cities. There aren’t many companies from the Special Economic Zone, but there are a few large companies from Hong Kong. However, as you said, Director Zhao of the Planning Bureau prefers companies from the mainland.”
The land has an area of 8,588 square meters, with a starting price of 2 million yuan and an increment of 50,000 yuan.
Nine foreign companies participated in the bidding, indicating that news of China opening up land auctions has already spread.
As the saying goes, "ducks are the first to know when the river warms in spring."
With the policy changes, ordinary people have no way of accessing this information, but large foreign companies have already received word and are waiting to participate in the auction.
"This time, the company was personally presided over by Director Chen of the Planning Bureau," Chen Baifu said in a low voice. "This Director Zhao is unyielding; he doesn't eat or accept gifts. I spent a lot of effort, but I still couldn't get in touch with him. I heard that he has the personality of an intellectual with ideas, aloof and stubborn, but daring to think and act. Otherwise, the leaders would have put him in this position."
In this day and age, the fact that Director Zhao was able to become the director of the Shenzhen Planning Bureau speaks volumes about his abilities.
Chu Yu wondered what kind of powerful figure could be so impervious to reason and impossible to win over with sweet talk.
