Chapter 632 Feng Lun’s Dinner
“Hello, Director Feng.”
The two shook hands.
"Chairman Fang, are you coming to Yanjing on a business trip?" Feng Lun asked.
"No, I brought the children to my wife's grandma's house to play with my wife." Fang Minghua explained, and then asked: "Are you here? Going back to Yanjing to do business?"
"Haha, no, our brothers have withdrawn."
"Withdrawed?"
"Yes, you have to thank your best friend Zhao Hongjun and Zhao Dong for this!" As Feng Lun was talking, Song Tangtang came out of the store.
It turned out that she took her two children in to get a seat, and found that Fang Minghua had not come in, so she went out to take a look, but found him chatting with a man at the door.
Seeing Song Tangtang come out, Fang Minghua smiled and explained: "Tangtang, this is Feng Lun, chairman of Vantone Group. Like the Red Army, he is also engaged in real estate in Hainan, and he is also our township party."
"This is my wife, Song Tangtang."
"Song Tangtang? I heard from the Red Army that the CEO of Shengshi Film and Television under Shengshi Group is a strong woman." Feng Lun said.
“Thank you, Director Feng.” Song Tangtang smiled very reservedly.
"You are taking your children to eat McDonald's, right?" Feng Lun looked at the McDonald's store next to him and understood something.
“Let’s do this, Chairman Fang, you take your children to McDonald’s and I won’t bother you. I’ll treat you and your wife to dinner tonight!”
"Ah, you're welcome, Director Feng, no need." Fang Minghua declined.
"Hey, Chairman Fang, don't be polite to me, we hit it off right away! Let's go to the Yanjing Hotel. At six o'clock in the evening, I called all the Wantong brothers, and everyone was busy! ”
Fang Minghua saw that he couldn’t shirk it, so he had no choice but to agree.
The couple said goodbye to Feng Lun and entered the store together.
“This Feng Lun has been in an agency.” Song Tangtang said as he walked.
"Huh? Can you tell that?" Fang Minghua said with a smile, and he briefly told Feng Lun's experience and how he got to know him in Haikou.
"Well, he looks like a talented person." Song Tangtang said.
"Yes, will you go tonight?" Fang Minghua asked.
"You go ahead, I won't go."
In the evening, at 5:55, Fang Minghua took a taxi to the Yanjing Hotel. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw someone sitting there Feng Lun was on the sofa, apparently waiting for him.
After going up to the seventh floor and entering a private room, there were five men of similar age sitting inside. Fang Minghua had seen one of them - Wang Quangong, who was with Feng Lun in Haikou last time, but he had never seen the other four.
But seeing their appearance, I knew that these were the "Six Gentlemen of Wantong".
The rise and fall of real estate, and later real estate developers became synonymous with greed and blood-sucking, and the so-called "gentleman" title also became a derogatory connotation.
But in this era, these six men with distinct personalities and their own strengths gathered together to start their real estate business in Hainan, and eventually each became the overlord of their side. It has left a mark in China's business history after its reform and opening up.
Introducing each other and shaking hands, Fang Minghua ended up next to Feng Lun.
"Chairman Fang, today we will not eat Shaanxi cuisine that the old Qin people like to eat, nor Yanjing cuisine. Let's try Tan's cuisine and enjoy the dishes of those dignitaries in the Qing Dynasty." Feng Lun said with a smile.
Tan's cuisine is one of the most famous official dishes in China. Tan's cuisine is the family banquet of Tan Zongjun, a bureaucrat in the late Qing Dynasty. Because it was the second-ranked dish in the 13th year of Tongzhi, it is also called the "second-ranked dish".
Fang Minghua has heard of it, but has never eaten it.
Soon, the dishes came out one after another, braised shark's fin, agar-agar in clear soup, and steamed chicken with grass root. They were all typical Tan family dishes.
The wine turned out to be Maotai!
It seems that Feng Lun spent a lot of money on this table of food and wine.
Of course, it looks like he is making a lot of money in Hainan. A few people chatted while eating, and soon they talked about the recent events in Hainan.
"Chairman Fang, we brothers would like to respectfully toast you with a drink." After saying that, Feng Lun picked up the wine glass, and the others also stood up.
Fang Minghua was slightly surprised: "Dr. Feng, as the saying goes, no reward for no merit, why do you respect me?"
"Chairman Fang, thanks to you and Mr. Zhao, we were able to escape unscathed." Feng Lun explained.
"Oh?" Fang Minghua understood something in his heart, but he still pretended to be confused on his face.
"Chairman Fang, drink this glass of wine first, and then I will explain it to you in detail."
Fang Minghua had no choice but to do it, and everyone sat down to listen to Feng Lun explain the whole story.
It turns out that after Zhao Hongjun and Feng Lun met in Haikou, the relationship between the two became closer, and they often drank together when they had nothing to do.
They are both from Xijing, and have spent time in the system. Now they are engaged in real estate in Haikou, so they have a lot to talk about in common.
The difference is that Zhao Hongjun’s Shengshi Real Estate is mainly engaged in land acquisition, while Wantong Company’s business is more complex, including land and off-plan properties. They do it all.
After Zhao Hongjun bought more than one hundred acres of land one after another, there was no movement. Although the price of land changed every day and the skyrocketing prices made people crazy, he was unmoved and held on to the more than one hundred acres of land. Land, no one is selling it.
Feng Lun sometimes joked that he was a brave man who only ate and did not eat.
But before the Spring Festival this year, Zhao Hongjun, who had been watching the real estate situation in Haikou with a smile, suddenly made a move and sold a piece of 38 acres of land. When Feng Lun found out, he asked Zhao Hongjun why he sold the land. The other party explained that the group's subordinates Shengshi Film and Television had problems with the cash flow of its investment in film and television dramas, so it needed to sell a piece of land to solve its difficulties.
Feng Lun didn't care. You must know that the land and house prices in Haikou seem to be on a rocket now. If they can, they will hold back on selling. No one will sell land or houses unless it is absolutely necessary.
After the Spring Festival, Zhao Hongjun’s Shengshi Real Estate sold a second piece of land!
This immediately aroused Feng Lun's alert.
You know, although he did not know the exact price of the 38 acres of land that Zhao Hongjun sold before the Spring Festival, the price of that piece of land was more than 5 million per mu. According to 5 million per mu, then 38 acres is 191 million! Even after deducting the messy taxes and fees, the turnover is still 130 million, which is enough for any movie.
But the other party sold another piece!
So Feng Lun specially invited Zhao Hongjun to dinner and went directly to Maotai. When the two of them were drunk, Zhao Hongjun revealed the truth.
He said that this was what Fang Minghua had promised him in advance. After the Spring Festival, he would sell the land in his hands no matter what the price.
“When I returned to Xijing this time, the two families were having dinner together. Minghua mentioned this matter again, saying that the profit was not enough, so it was time to throw it away.”
“Such a crazy way of playing, the country Sooner or later, there will be a big move to deal with it. Now that central and state-owned enterprises are coming to Hainan, this is an opportunity for him to escape unscathed. He also said that the famous American investor Buffett once said that successful investors are those who can be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy. Lao Feng, what is Buffett doing? "
"It seems that an investor in the United States mainly invests in the stock market." Feng Lun replied.
"Oh, stock speculation is the same as land speculation, right?" Zhao Hongjun said, lying on the wine table.
"Miss, get a room and help this gentleman lie down for a while." Feng Lun shouted loudly, but he was secretly frightened.
I returned to the company the next morning and immediately summoned five brothers to talk about the conversation with Zhao Hongjun yesterday.
After some discussion, everyone felt that what Zhao Hongjun said was reasonable and the risks were already very high. They decided to comprehensively shrink Vantone’s business in Hainan and gradually withdraw from the Hainan market.
"Just last month, the country issued the "Opinions on the Current Economic Situation and Strengthening Macroeconomic Control", which comprehensively tightened monetary policy, strictly controlled the total scale of credit, reduced investment in infrastructure, and cleaned up all projects under construction. The real estate market in Hainan is simply draining the floor. House prices in Haikou have fallen sharply, and there is a lot of mourning everywhere.”
"Fortunately, we have liquidated all the projects in Hainan and returned to Yanjing. Otherwise, how would we be in the mood to drink with you here?"
Speaking of this, Feng Lun felt a little emotional.
"Director Feng, don't listen to what the Red Army said. I'm like Zhuge Liang. I can pinch and calculate. I just said it casually after drinking too much. Just like today. I don't know how to do business." Fang Minghua smiled. answer.
"Actually, when we heard Mr. Zhao's words, we were murmuring in our hearts. Minghua is a writer and we have never seen him doing business." Wang Quangong interrupted and said with a smile: "But Pan Shiyi's What you did proved that your judgment was correct!”
“What method?”
