Chapter 319: You're overthinking it

A year flies by in a flash!
During this year, Lin Hao lived a life of both pain and happiness.

Because Yang Xiaoyun was pregnant, Lin Hao didn't control himself much. After all, it did affect his pleasure sometimes.

As a result, Mile and Fang Lingshan became pregnant one after another, and Lin Hao married and divorced them one after another, and then all three women became his ex-wives.

However, because of the divorce, their parents had some complaints, but fortunately they already had children, so they didn't blame them too much.

However, Lin Hao still decided to transfer part of his property to his daughters and children in the future.

The shares of the advertising company were transferred to Yang Xiaoyun and her child, the decoration company was left to Mile and her unborn child, and the shares of the design company were left to Fang Lingshan and the baby in her belly!

Lin Hao glanced at the two pregnant women and the hungry baby in his family. They all needed his care, and at the same time he also felt the worry of happiness.

Fortunately, the company's work was given to Lao Ding, otherwise Lin Hao would have no time to take care of them.

On the company's side, the Blue Sky Century City at Site No. 1 completed its roof half a month ago and is now decorating the exterior walls and installing various functional facilities.

The sales of real estate were also extremely hot, especially after the preliminary publicity and the city government's planning for the area near Site No. 1, many discerning people came to buy houses.

Just like before, as long as you buy a house, you can go to Lin Hao’s design company to finalize the decoration design drawings, and then the decoration company will quickly follow up and carry out the decoration, and the speed is very fast.

Of course, there are also people who want to design and decorate the house themselves after buying it, but when they take the same design drawings and compare several decoration companies, they all regret it.

Because the quotes from other decoration companies were 20,000 to 30,000 yuan more expensive than Lin Hao's decoration. Even if they hired carpenters, masons, plumbers and electricians to do the decoration themselves, it would still be more than 10,000 yuan more expensive than Lin Hao's, and the quality was not guaranteed.

Then they all came back and begged Lin Hao's decoration company.

After this incident spread, Lin Hao's decoration company's business became more and more prosperous.

Even other real estate companies are interested in Lin Hao's real estate service chain.

Just kidding, this service chain created by Lin Hao saves a lot of intermediate links, the supply of raw materials is cheap, and the decoration speed is not only fast but also saves labor hours.

And this kind of alliance can earn much more than working alone!

When these real estate companies saw so many benefits, they immediately became excited and began to extend olive branches!
Just when the sales of Blue Sky Century City were in full swing, Lu Tao's Frankfurt Style encountered problems. The house was about to be topped out, but the capital chain was broken!
But this really cannot be blamed on anyone else. Xu Zhisen gave all the project authority to Lu Tao, and Lu Tao, the newbie, was fooled by the supplier.

It’s not that the supplier deceived him. After all, Yuanda Real Estate is not a pushover and they still do some basic audits.

Instead, these suppliers found Lu Tao and told him that this brand of wires was good and had a good reputation in the industry. Lu Tao just waved his hand and decided to use this one!

Tomorrow I will tell Lu Tao that a certain German brand of heating pipes is better. It is a world-famous brand with excellent quality. Lu Tao agreed to replace it with the right product without even thinking about it!

In short, the purpose of these suppliers is to find ways to make Lu Tao use expensive and good things, but the problem is that these good things are not necessities.

It's like replacing the seats on a walk-behind tractor with Ferrari Portofino seats worth $30.

Can it be changed? Of course it can be changed!

But is it necessary? Absolutely not!

Because this will not reflect your sense of superiority, nor will it improve your status. Instead, it will make people laugh at this stupid behavior.

Although the example given is a bit extreme, the meaning is well expressed.

After Xu Zhisen learned about this, he of course tried his best to stop it, but after seeing the contract workers, he could only hold his nose and continue to use these things.

Because if they don’t use them, the penalty will be more than continuing to use these high-end products!
"Or I should go find Lu Yaxun and ask him to introduce another coal boss investor, or let them continue to invest, anyway~!"

Lu Tao choked back the word "easy to cheat"! Then he added:
"Anyway, our project is sure to make money!"

"This is the only way!" Xu Zhisen rubbed his forehead. He knew that his son was talented, but he did things too casually and tended to go to extremes.

However, he believed that after this incident, Lu Tao would definitely grow up, so he continued:
"But I hope you can learn a lesson. The real estate industry is a very complicated business!"

Then he patted Lu Tao on the shoulder and said:

"Some suggestions that seem to be for your own good may not necessarily be intended to help you do things better. Maybe they just simply want to make more money from you!"

Lu Tao curled his lips but did not refute Xu Zhisen's words, not because he agreed with Xu Zhisen, but because the products and equipment previously ordered would continue to be used in the Frankfurt project.

You have to know that he considers himself an excellent architectural designer. As a perfectionist, he should not only design the best, but also use the best things.

Especially after he visited Lin Hao's mansion last time, he had always longed in his heart that one day he could also design a mansion project like the one in Palm Springs!
Later, Lu Tao found Lu Yaxun again. After that, under the persuasion of Lu Tao and his mother, Lu Yaxun compromised again and helped them find someone to continue investing.

Afterwards, Lu Yaxun took Lu Tao to visit several investors and finally attracted an investment for Yuanda, which allowed the Frankfurt project to continue to move forward.

······
On the other hand, the piece of land west of Chaoyang Park promoted by Lin Hao was finally put on the development schedule, and the auction time was set for two months later.

In fact, the main problem with this land is the issue of demolition and resettlement. Most people are unwilling to move.

They are not fools and of course they want to continue living here.

When Lin Hao visited, he also felt the strong desire of these residents and knew that this matter could not be dealt with forcefully.

After all, skills are not omnipotent. Even if they are moved away at the time, they will definitely come back to cause trouble after the influence of the skills has passed.

Therefore, Lin Hao came up with an idea to expand the scope of the land by two thirds. After buying the land in the future, he would plan it into two different communities.

One is an ordinary residential building, the other is a luxury housing project!

After the city government confirmed that this operation was allowed, Lin Hao arranged the survey and planning work and started planning for the two communities at the same time.

It means that Lin Hao's house is selling well, so he dares to do this.

In the next two months, most of the houses in the first phase of Lin Haolan Blue Century City were sold, and he had nearly 10 billion yuan in house payments.

You should know that Lin Hao's real estate project had almost no loans, and after settling all the project payments, he still had 6 million in cash in his hands.

And this is just the money from selling the house. The real estate service chain is also generating a steady stream of profits. It is conservatively estimated that this wave will earn at least 1.5 million!
This is still the first phase of the project, but Lin Hao does not plan to start the second phase now. Lin Hao plans to reserve the remaining space on Site No. 1 because the land will become more and more valuable in the future.

Another reason was that Xu Zhisen found Lin Hao again and wanted to sell Frankfurt to him. Apparently Xu Zhisen also heard the news.

Afterwards, the two of them met at a Japanese restaurant near the stadium. After meeting, Lin Hao didn't say anything more and said directly:

"Mr. Xu, your Yuanda Frankfurt project is about to be completed. Why are you thinking of selling it to me as a package?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhisen said slowly:

"I think Mr. Lin knows that our company still has a plot of land No. 5 that has not been developed. We want to take advantage of the current boom in the real estate industry to recover funds as soon as possible and develop it as soon as possible!"

"I just don't know if Mr. Lin is interested!" After saying that, Xu Zhisen picked up a sushi.

While Lin Hao had a smile on his face, he actually knew in his heart that Xu Zhisen had also heard the news and knew that a cold winter in the real estate market was about to come.

So he had to get rid of the Frankfurt project and recover the funds as soon as possible, otherwise when the cold winter came, he would have a large number of houses that he could not sell.

Once the deadline for repaying the loan arrives, if he cannot come up with the money, Xu Zhisen may go bankrupt.

Although Lin Hao knew it, he did not refuse directly, but said:

"I'm definitely interested, but I don't know how much Mr. Xu would like to offer?"

"One billion!" Xu Zhisen said loudly.

"Puff~!" Lin Hao just sprayed out the sake in his mouth!
Lin Hao knew that the reason Xu Zhisen came to him was to cheat him out of money.

If he won the Frankfurt project, and the cold winter came and the houses could not be sold, he would have to reduce the price in order to repay the bank loan and interest, and he would definitely lose a lot of money on both ends!
But Xu Zhisen didn’t know that he had no loans and his funds were very healthy!

At the same time, Lin Hao knew the coming of the real estate winter earlier than him, and even knew the time when the real estate industry would recover!
Therefore, Lin Hao said directly:

"Boss Xu, are you kidding me? The real estate winter is coming, and you actually want me to be the scapegoat!"

Xu Zhisen raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Lin Hao already knew about it. He originally wanted to trick Lin Hao and Fang Dezhao once, but he didn't expect that he miscalculated!

However, Xu Zhisen still acted as if he didn't know anything, and asked knowingly:

"Oh, what does Mr. Lin mean by the real estate winter?"

Lin Hao wiped his mouth and continued:
"Lu Tao and I are roommates after all. It's not nice of you to trick me like this! Otherwise, why don't you find someone else to trick!"

Knowing that he couldn't trick Lin Hao, Xu Zhisen was ready to give up, so he changed the subject:
"Boss Lin, you misunderstood. I really don't know what's going on. Boss Lin, why don't you tell me about it!"

Lin Hao has his own plan and is also advancing according to his own plan. He is even more unwilling to bet his cash on this Yuanda project!
That would be a huge loss. Unless Xu Zhisen could sell Frankfurt at a low price, Lin Hao would never be able to take over.

Therefore, Lin Hao stood up and said:

"Well, actually I know that Mr. Xu's Frankfurt project will not be sold at a low price, so there is no need for us to play tricks here!"

"So thank you very much for Mr. Xu's hospitality today. I'll leave first!"

After saying that, Lin Hao left directly, and Xu Zhisen quickly said:

"Boss Lin, wait a minute, how much do you think it will cost to take over?"

Xu Zhisen’s Plot No. 7 is smaller than Plot No. 1, and it was auctioned at a premium.

However, although the plot is small, its geographical conditions are very good, and the nearby ancillary facilities are relatively complete.

Therefore, the low price of 4 million is a bit expensive, but it is not a big loss, it’s just that you didn’t get a bargain!

According to the information Lin Hao had, the first phase of the Frankfurt project had an investment of approximately 3.5 million yuan.

Therefore, if you want to acquire Xu Zhisen’s project, you have to pay at least 7 million yuan.

But the problem is that if Lin Hao acquires it, it will occupy a large amount of his funds and will also affect the plan for the land west of Chaoyang Park, which is simply not worth the loss.

Therefore, Lin Hao shook his head and said:

"Mr. Xu, I'm telling you the truth! I really don't want to take over. Unless the entire project is less than 6 million, I won't take over because the land premium is too high!"

"Also, I know that Lu Tao was cheated by the supplier and spent so much unnecessary money on the house. I am not very optimistic about it!"

After saying that, Lin Hao ignored Xu Zhisen and left the Japanese restaurant directly.

After Lin Hao left the Japanese restaurant, he took out his cell phone, dialed the number and said:
"Old Ding, spread the word to all real estate companies, the real estate winter is coming!"

When Old Ding on the other end of the phone heard this, he was suddenly shocked and immediately thought of the tip Lin Hao gave him when he first arrived at the company.

So Lao Ding swallowed and said;
"I understand. But if this news gets out, won't other real estate companies know about it?"

"I feel like we've suffered a huge loss! What if we had taken advantage of the opportunity to make a move~!" Old Ding said unwillingly.

Lao Ding's meaning was very simple. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to buy at the bottom. Lin Hao knew that Lao Ding had good intentions, but he still said:
"I have my own arrangements for this matter. You just need to execute them. Then you will understand!"

Old Ding woke up instantly after hearing this, knowing that he was offside, so he quickly said:
"Okay, I'll do it right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Hao sat in the car and looked at Xu Zhisen who came out, and sneered:
"Humph, you still want to cheat me. If you had found someone else to be the scapegoat this time, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you. Since you took the initiative to come to my door to cheat me, then I won't be polite!"

Then Lin Hao went straight back to the company, as he also had to do some preparatory work!
After Xu Zhisen left, he immediately reacted. Since he and Lin Hao both knew that the cold winter of real estate was coming, others would probably know it soon.

"I hope there's still time!" Xu Zhisen then immediately contacted other real estate companies.

However, the companies that had originally made appointments called back to express their lack of interest just two or three hours later.

At this moment Xu Zhisen realized that he was probably finished!
Ordinary people prefer to buy when prices are rising and not buy when prices are falling. Therefore, when they see house prices falling, they will want to wait for them to fall further before taking action. By then, their house will definitely not be sold!
"If only it had been two months earlier!"

At this time, Xu Zhisen thought of the beginning of the project. First, the planning documents and design drawings were not approved, which wasted more than a month. Later, the establishment of the real estate service chain failed, which wasted another half a month.

However, there is no point in thinking about these things now.

Xu Zhisen knew that he now faced two choices: either continue to complete the Frankfurt project or sell the project immediately.
