Chapter 321 Going against the trend and speeding up progress

"Wait!" Xu Zhisen immediately shouted when he saw Lu Tao was about to leave.

Then he took out a bank card from the desk and said:

"This is your design commission and management commission, plus your salary, a total of 10 million, take it!"

Lu Tao stared at Xu Zhisen in amazement, holding the bank card worth tens of millions, and said in disbelief:
"Our project isn't making any money, and you still want to give me a commission?"

"This is the money you deserve. Even if the project fails, you will get the same commission as before! What a pity! If the Frankfurt project succeeds, you can get at least 2000 million!"

After saying this, Xu Zhisen said with a compassionate look:

"In fact, I don't want to sell the Frankfurt project, but the current external factors have caused a shortage of funds, so I have no choice but to sell Frankfurt Style. I hope you can understand!"

Lu Tao was also moved when he heard this, and felt that Xu Zhisen was actually a pretty good person and someone he could get along with!
Then Xu Zhisen patted Lu Tao on the shoulder and said:

“So I sincerely hope that we can cooperate again and work together to make Yuanda bigger and stronger and create greater glory!”

After saying that, he turned his back, leaving Lu Tao with a lonely back. Lu Tao glanced at Xu Zhisen, then looked at the bank card in his hand.

"Okay, let's work together!" Then Lu Tao put the bank card into his pocket.

In the original drama, the 20 million management commission given to Lu Tao was not only due to Xu Zhisen's care for Lu Tao, but also because Frankfurt Style made a profit of more than 200 million.

After all, being able to get Lu Yaxun to ask for help allowed them to earn an extra 8 million, so it was only right that they give Lu Tao a commission of million, which was also the money he deserved!
But it is different now. Xu Zhisen sold the Frankfurt project in order to stop losses, so people can understand Xu Zhisen to some extent, and the conflict between them is not that big.

Therefore, Xu Zhisen succeeded in retaining Lu Tao with just a little inducement.

"By the way, the entire real estate industry is in a slump right now, so Site No. 5 will not be launched for the time being!"

Seeing that Lu Tao looked unhappy, Xu Zhisen immediately explained:

"It's not that we won't start it, but we have to wait for the right time, and you just happened to come up with a perfect design during this window of time!"

"I have concluded that the reason why our Frankfurt project lost money is that we did not seize the opportunity. If we had prepared the Frankfurt design in advance and the review had been passed directly, then I am afraid that our current houses would have been sold out long ago!"

"Therefore, we must make all preparations in advance, so that when the real estate market picks up, we can start quickly and complete the project in the shortest possible time to make money!"

Speaking of Lin Hao, Lu Tao also thought of Lin Hao's series of actions. Although he was very unhappy, he also understood that what Xu Zhisen said made sense!
Lu Tao then drove away, but when he took out the bank card from his pocket, he thought of Lin Hao's house in Palm Springs.

Especially when thinking of Mile, Fang Lingshan and Yang Xiaoyun, all of whom married Lin Hao and then divorced, now all three of them have become Lin Hao’s ex-wives!

Lu Tao suddenly felt itchy at this moment, and drove aimlessly forward. Somehow, he arrived at the sales office in Palm Springs without realizing it!

When he came out of the sales office, he drove to call Charlene and told her the good news, but Charlene's reaction was unusually cold.

After Lu Tao returned home, he told the story about how he had received a commission of 10 million yuan, and explained that he had bought a house and was preparing to get married.

In fact, during this year, Xia Lin reminded Lu Tao from time to time about getting married, but Lu Tao repeatedly postponed the wedding date on the grounds of work.

In addition, Xia Lin was also extremely disgusted with Lu Tao's self-righteousness. He never discussed any decision with her, always made his own decisions, and only told her after the matter was done.

The two broke up twice because of this, but every time Lu Taotou used his eloquent speech to persuade Xia Lin to come back.

It was the same this time. Lu Tao bought the house directly before telling Xia Lin, which is why Xia Lin reacted coldly to Lu Tao.

However, when Xia Lin thought that Lu Tao was preparing the house for their marriage, and after Lu Tao coaxed her with sweet words for a while, Xia Lin finally accepted Lu Tao's idea of ​​buying a house.

But when she asked where the house was, Lu Tao just said it was a surprise for her and she would know when she went to see it tomorrow! For some reason, Xia Lin felt a little uneasy.

Sure enough, when Lu Tao brought Xia Lin to Palm Springs the next day, Xia Lin's complexion became worse and worse!
"Lu Tao, is this the surprise you told me about?" Xia Lin stared at Lu Tao unkindly and asked, "Can you tell me why you bought it here?"

Lu Tao was looking at a certain building inside and did not notice Xia Lin's unfriendly look, so he said as a matter of course:
"Yes! This is the best apartment in the entire capital. Of course we have to live here when we get married!"

Xia Lin once again suppressed her dissatisfaction and followed Lu Tao upstairs!

After arriving at the 16th floor, Lu Tao introduced enthusiastically:

"Xia Lin, look, this house is 420 square meters, with five bedrooms and two living rooms. It's much bigger than Lin Hao's house!"

However, Charlene stood at the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, looking at a house on the 16th floor opposite, and then Charlene finally exploded!
"Lu Tao, the last time we went to Lin Hao's house, they lived on the 16th floor!" Xia Lin pointed to the building opposite and said, "It's the house opposite, right?"

Lu Tao, who was introducing the company, paused for a moment, then noticed Xia Lin's angry face, and quickly said,
"Charlene, I just want to give you a perfect home. Don't you think this place is great?"

"Lu Tao, who do you think I am? Do you really think I don't know that the reason you moved here is because you still have feelings for Mile."

"You keep saying you're doing this for me, but in fact you're doing this for Milei. Knowing Milei is divorced, you've been eager to live here and see her more!"

"But please don't forget that Miledu and Lin Hao already have a child. Even if she is divorced, she is willing to give birth to a child for Lin Hao. You will never have another chance!"

After venting, Charlene suddenly felt refreshed!

However, contrary to Xia Lin's expectations, Lu Tao did not continue to comfort him at this time, but said calmly:
"Then what's the point of you following me! When you were still Guan Peng's girlfriend, you slept with me, a man you just met for the first time. How can you be good?"

"You!" Xia Lin didn't expect that Lu Tao would humiliate her like this.

At this moment, Xia Lin thought of the MP3 she received a year ago, which contained the conversation between Lu Tao and Mile:
"Today is Xiangnan's big wedding day. Why didn't Xia Lin come? Aren't you two together?"

"Milai, listen to me, I have always liked you, and Xia Lin and I were just impulsive!"

"Haha, it was a momentary impulse!" Thinking of this, Xia Lin couldn't stop her tears from flowing out. She should have woken up earlier. At this moment, she felt the most regretful. She shouldn't have given up studying in France and stole her best friend Mile's boyfriend!

Xia Lin had thought about leaving Lu Tao before, but she couldn't make up her mind in the end. However, it is not too late to leave now.

Then Charlene wiped her tears and said sarcastically:

"Indeed, just as you said, she did betray Guan Peng and went to bed with you the first time you met." "But what about you, Lu Tao? Didn't you also cheat in front of Mile? Why are you pretending to be a moral gentleman in front of me?"

After saying that, Xia Lin no longer paid any attention to Lu Tao and went straight home to pack her things, ready to leave Lu Tao completely and leave the country!

Lu Tao originally wanted to stop Xia Lin, but then he stopped. After a year of struggling with each other, they were both exhausted.

As for Lu Tao, the novelty of Xia Lin had long passed and the initial passion for her was gone. Besides, now that they had fallen out, there was no need to save the relationship.

Then, Lu Tao looked at Lin Hao's house opposite and said indignantly:

"Why? Why can Lin Hao have three wives and four concubines, but I can't? I won't accept this, I won't accept this!"

I have to say that Xu Zhisen and Lu Tao are indeed father and son. They are both of the same character and are self-righteous.

At the same time, just when Lu Tao was jealous of Lin Hao to the point of going crazy, a faint smile appeared on Lin Hao's lips.

Mile sat next to Lin Hao and said delicately:
"Hubby, I want to go to the auction tomorrow too!"

After a year of Lin Hao's operation, the land on the west side of Chaoyang Park will finally be auctioned tomorrow.

When the girls knew that Lin Hao wanted to build a mansion for them, they all wanted to participate in building their own home, so they all actively offered suggestions.

Mile has been gone for more than seven months. Lin Hao was also afraid that something might happen to him, so he shook his head and said:

"What are you doing with such a big belly?"

Then Miley hummed and acted coquettishly:
"Hmmmm, I don't care. I'm going anyway!"

Pregnant women are the biggest in the world. Lin Hao thought about it. They are not far from the auction site, and there are not many people participating in the auction this time. If protective measures are taken, it is not impossible. It is not good to keep him at home all the time!

So he said helplessly: "Okay, okay! But everything must be arranged by me, no~!"

"mua~, husband, you are so nice!" Mile didn't care about anything else and walked up to Lin Hao and gave him a kiss.

Fang Lingshan, who was standing by, saw this and blinked her big watery eyes twice, then walked up to Lin Hao and said coquettishly:

"Hubby~ I want one too, I want one too!"

Hiss~! This coquettish tone made my heart melt! However, Lin Hao also felt overwhelmed. He couldn't take care of one of them, and it turned out that these two pregnant women wanted to go!
next day
Lin Hao finally took on everything and carefully sent the two pregnant women to the venue. At this time, Mi Lixiong and Fang Dezhao also arrived, so everyone sat together.

Then, Mi Lixiong and Fang Dezhao started to scold Lin Hao together, but since Lin Hao was in the wrong first, he could only bear it. Mile and Fang Lingshan on the side watched Lin Hao getting scolded with joy.

In addition, when Lin Hao saw Ye Yingxiong from Xintai coming, he sat over and chatted with him for a few words. This was the second time the two companies had cooperated, so they were considered acquaintances.

From what Ye Yingxiong said, he also wanted to join this small group of Lin Hao, Mi Lixiong and Fang Dezhao, but not to hold shares together, but to have strategic cooperation. Lin Hao did not refuse.

So, before the auction started, the two finally reached an agreement. As for other details, they just waited for the people below to discuss them.

As for the auction, it was somewhat lackluster because, due to the tightening of loans, most real estate companies were unable to start construction even after obtaining the land, so they were not very enthusiastic about acquiring land.

Lin Hao remembered that the last time he came to attend the auction, there were more than 30 people sitting here, but the number of people coming to bid today was far less than last time.

After counting, there were only ten people in total, and Lin Hao plus three other people from his own family, a total of four people accounted for a small half of the number.

Moreover, among those who came to participate in the auction this time, there were some water armies and some who were there to make up the numbers, such as Milixiong and the other two beside Lin Hao!
After the No. 1 bid was announced, the bidding price was only called out twice, increased by 20 million, and then was won by a company!
Then the auctioneer said again:
"The second lot is located on the west side of Chaoyang. The reserve price is RMB 3 million, with the additional condition of resettling the local residents who will be relocated. The auction is now open. Are there any bidders?"

And Lin Hao raised the sign without hesitation!

The auctioneer immediately shouted:
"Number 6 is holding up a placard and offering 3 million RMB. Is there anyone willing to bid?"

There was complete silence, and no one at the scene had any intention of raising their placards. Even the auctioneer had predicted this result, because this additional condition was too unfavorable.

Although the value of the No. 2 site was very high, the additional condition of resettling the residents immediately made the people present lose interest.

Therefore, the second bid was sold without any setbacks at the reserve price of RMB 3 million, and Lin Hao also successfully won the Chaoyang Park West bid!
According to Lin Hao's estimation, if it weren't for the real estate winter, even with this additional condition, this piece of land could be auctioned for at least 5 million yuan, maybe even 6 million yuan!
Fortunately, it is still a cold winter in the real estate market, and there are additional conditions for the No. 2 bid. There are not many companies that have the strength to bid, and the remaining five plots of land are enough for them to divide.

In addition, no one caused trouble this time, so the auction went exceptionally smoothly.

After Lin Hao got the land, he divided it into two project areas, A and B, according to his plan.

Area A is the luxury housing area. Lin Hao is the project leader and he also personally designed this luxury house!

Area B is an ordinary high-rise residential area. Lao Ding is the project leader, and Huazi is responsible for the design and planning of this residential community!

Afterwards, Lin Hao asked Lao Ding to push forward the various procedures, and the construction was carried out in normal steps. After all, there was no need to rush for time this time, so there was no need to work in three shifts.

On the other side, Xu Zhisen was puzzled when he saw that Lin Hao actually started construction during the cold winter of the real estate industry.

Thinking that although Lin Hao always did things unexpectedly, he was always on the right track, he asked Lu Tao to speed up the preparations for Site No. 5, but he did not start work like Lin Hao!
While Lin Hao's project was progressing steadily, Xu Zhisen quietly and successfully established a broad real estate service chain.

Due to time constraints last time, he did not understand the core of building a real estate service chain, which resulted in him suffering a great loss and delayed the progress of Frankfurt Style.

Thinking about Lin Hao's real estate service chain, which is now making a fortune every day, he is extremely envious!

This time Xu Zhisen learned his lesson, barely balanced the interests of all parties, and barely established this small real estate service chain, although it is not as good as Lin Hao's real estate service chain.

But for Xu Zhisen, he is still quite satisfied. It is not as good as any other, but better than any other. It is good enough. At worst, he can just wait for expansion in the future.

Three months later, Lu Tao finally completed the planning and residential building design of the Site No. 5 project.

However, at this time Xu Zhisen gave Lu Tao another task, to modify the floor area ratio of the land, and this time Lu Tao did not hesitate, after all, ten million was really good.

This time, Lu Yaxun did not reject Lu Tao's request and directly agreed to help modify the floor area ratio.

Because, ever since Lu Tao accepted the 10 million from Xu Zhisen, there are some things that are no longer up to him!
