Chapter 238
Guan Yuntian's principle is that as long as he decides to do anything, he should strive to do it well. Guan Yuntian originally did not want to participate in the city's old city reconstruction. Later, after listening to the pros and cons stated by the leader, he decided to let Changda
Real Estate participated in the old city reconstruction project. Because he was not familiar with the specific conditions, he also got the two most difficult areas to work on. Despite this, in each sub-item, he still insisted on putting quality first, and profit second.
.
As Deputy Mayor He once said, government-led projects are indeed not very profitable, but as long as they are done well, no amount of money can buy the spread of corporate influence.
At an awards ceremony after the renovation of the old city, the city's main leaders presented awards to the winning companies. Lao Xue went on stage to receive various awards on behalf of Changda Real Estate Company. In the subsequent conversation, the leader asked him, "You, Changda
What is the relationship between the real estate company and Changda Group?"
"Changda Real Estate is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Changda Group."
"No wonder Changda Real Estate has done such a good job in the old city renovation project. Changda Group is a responsible enterprise and has made great contributions to local economic construction and social development. I hope you will continue to move forward and reach higher levels."
"Thank you for the leadership's encouragement. We will continue to be a conscientious company."
The renovation of the old city was completely completed, and Lao Xue also brought back several award-winning plaques. However, the advance settlement of funds promised by Director Lan of the headquarters was not fully fulfilled, and now nearly 200 million of Changda Real Estate's funds are still occupied.
Even if the company is not short of funds, the profit of the old city reconstruction project is not high. After the project is completed, it can no longer be settled. This makes Guan Yuntian unacceptable. He dialed Lao Lan's phone and said, "Boss, now that the old city reconstruction is completed, you
Has the headquarters been abolished?"
"It's formally cancelled, but the organization is still there because there are still some funeral matters that haven't been dealt with. But I'm back to work at the city government."
"The so-called funeral affairs include the project payment advanced by the company, right?" Guan Yuntian said.
"Project payment? Yes, including unsettled project payment."
"I would like to ask, when will the arrears for this part of the project payment be fully settled?"
"Oh, I can't say for sure about this. It depends on when the funds will be appropriated."
"Who at the top cares about this?"
"Of course the funding unit is the Finance Bureau, and the person in charge of this matter is naturally the deputy mayor in charge of finance and taxation."
After chatting for a while and ending the call with Lao Lan, Guan Yuntian took out a number and dialed it. After the call was connected, he said: "Boss, I'm sorry to bother you! I'm Guan Yuntian of Changda Real Estate Company."
"Well, I know. The renovation of the old city is complete, and you did a good job!"
"Since we promised you something, we must do our best to avoid disappointing your expectations."
"After the award ceremony, the executive meeting praised Changda Group greatly. Some people suggested promoting you, but I poured cold water on it. I said that the company does not want to be disturbed."
"That's right. You know that Changda Group never does anything for the limelight. Thank you for thinking about us. Leader, I have something to ask of you today."
"Oh, tell me, what's the matter?"
"The old city reconstruction project has been completed for some time, and the project payment advanced by the company has not been settled yet. Unknown to other companies, it still owes nearly 200 million to Changda Real Estate Company. I just asked Director Lan from the headquarters, he said
It said that the superiors haven't dialed it yet, I want to ask what's going on?"
"Advance payment for the project----not only you, but also may not have paid it off."
“Hasn’t the city’s finances been allocated to lower levels?”
"To be precise, it was temporarily occupied due to another matter."
"May I ask the leader, when will the money be returned?"
"I don't know either, but I can help you ask."
Thanks to Changda Real Estate's strong capital advance capability, employees involved in the old city renovation project can receive their wages on time. It is said that the other three developers involved in the old city renovation project all have varying degrees of salary arrears.
It is common for construction companies to be in arrears with wages, but some cases are not intentional by developers. Projects such as old city renovation have budgets and are government-led. It stands to reason that there is no possibility of wage arrears. However, compared with the investment span,
For a long time, budget funds have been misappropriated from time to time. If the funds cannot be returned on time, the funds allocated to the enterprise cannot be received in time, and it is not surprising that the developers are owed wages.
About a week after Guan Yuntian pressed for questioning, he received a call from Lao Lan, "Mr. Guan, a sum of money just came down. The money owed to you by the headquarters can be settled. I will ask the cashier to pay you later."
past."
"Oh, that would be great!"
"However, I was specifically told to keep quiet because only this small amount of money has been allocated, and it is specifically used to settle the funds you have advanced."
"We have only settled the debt, will we continue to owe other developers?" Guan Yuntian found it unbelievable.
"Why do you care about them? Just settle the project payment with Changda Real Estate."
"Yes, thank you for your concern, leaders." Guan Yuntian knew that this was the result of Deputy Mayor He's questioning. Otherwise, Changda Real Estate's advance funds would also not be known when they would be settled.
...
After the completion of the last two or three real estate projects, Changda Real Estate Company no longer has much business in the county. There is no doubt that the focus of the next step will naturally shift to Huayuan City. However, should Changda Real Estate Company be completely withdrawn?
Leaving the county? This made Guan Yuntian hesitate.
After all, this is the birthplace of Changda Real Estate Company, and the county's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, and the county's resident population is constantly increasing. Considering these factors, after discussing with Lao Xue, Guan Yuntian decided to build a new hotel in Huayuan City
Establish a formal Changda Real Estate Company office.
In terms of business, if the county has suitable land for construction, land reserves still need to be carried out. As for the development of new properties, it will be based on the increase in the permanent population.
The city's first development project has been completed. Under Shen Yuehong's careful planning and thanks to Changda Real Estate's good reputation and reputation in old city renovation, real estate sales have been extremely hot. Home buyers have been selling houses at three or four in the morning.
There was a long queue outside the center.
Compared with local developers in Huayuan City, the properties developed by Changda Real Estate Company do not pursue too high floor area ratio. The green area of the community is sufficient, the leisure facilities are complete, the property management is standardized, and more importantly, the building construction quality is excellent.
No corners were cut, and building materials such as steel bars, cement, and sandstone fully met the design requirements. Even the construction quality supervision department, which we had never met before, could not find any faults. This is rare among local developers.
As a result, even though the prices of the buildings developed by Changda Real Estate were not cheap, the profits were only at a medium level. After the financial department reported the accounting situation to Guan Yuntian, he nodded and said only three words, "I understand."
.”
What is a conscientious enterprise? Whether it is manufacturing or real estate development, Guan Yuntian's principle is always to do things well first. As for profits, no one who runs an enterprise does not want to make money, and Guan Yuntian is certainly no exception.
But he thinks that should be placed second. In his view, even if one wants to pursue higher profits, it can only be achieved through scientific management and cost reduction, rather than through evil practices.
With the start of the second project in Huayuan City, Changda Real Estate's land bank in the city has been exhausted, such as
If we don't seize the time to buy land, our business in the city will be unsustainable.
Guan Yuntian called Vice Mayor He again, "Boss, how long has it been since Huayuan City held a land auction? It seems that the city's finances are not short of money!" Vice Mayor He is in charge of finance, taxation and land resources.
Guan Yuntian has been dating him for two or three years, and they are already very familiar with each other, so they talk more casually.
"Why are you asking this? Does Changda Real Estate want to buy land?"
"Exactly. After the old city renovation project we participated in was completed and the real estate projects in the county were completed, the focus of work shifted to the city. The first project has basically been sold out, and now we are starting to build the second project. If we can
Without land reserves, Changda Real Estate Company's business in the city will be unsustainable," said Guan Yuntian.
"You reminded me that since you participated in the land auction in the second half of the year before last year, Huayuan City has not held a single land auction for the whole year last year. Okay, I will contact the Bureau of Land and Resources and see.
Do they have the resources?"
In a prefecture-level city, except for the renovation of the old city, no new land resources were put on the market for a whole year last year. For a city with a permanent population of nearly one million, Changda Real Estate Company is not the only real estate development company that is hungry for resources.
.
Vice Mayor He learned from the land department that there is no shortage of construction land resources, and he can hold land auctions at any time just waiting for the city to open the door.
"What are you waiting for? There was no land auction last year. Real estate development companies are eager to obtain land resources. There are several developers in Huayuan City. It is best to invest more resources this time."
Guan Yuntian first received the news from Vice Mayor He, and the next day received a notice from the Land Resources Auction Office of the Bureau of Land and Resources, inviting Changda Real Estate Company to participate in the land auction one week later.
In this auction, the Bureau of Land and Resources invested seven parcels of land and nearly 1,500 acres of resources. Changda Real Estate Company formed a bidding team with Guan Yuntian and Xue Jianqing as the deputy leaders. There are a total of eight large and small real estate development companies.
Participated in the auction.
Changda Real Estate Company is backed by Changda Group. Due to its successful backdoor listing some time ago, Changda Holdings raised nearly 2 billion through private placement. Therefore, Changda Real Estate now has abundant funds. This time it participates in the land auction. Guan Yuntian’s goal
Two parcels of land were acquired.
With the financial strength of Changda Real Estate, it is completely possible to acquire more land as a resource reserve for the company. However, various developers who have not been able to obtain land resources for more than a year are also eager to obtain land resources and compare their concerns. Even if they have that
In terms of strength, Guan Yuntian believes that one should not go too far when doing things.
Based on what they learned, Guan Yuntian and Lao Xue believed that the third and sixth parcels of land were their bidding targets.
After the auction started, because the first and second parcels of land were not within the scope of Changda Real Estate Company's consideration, Guan Yuntian instructed the representatives of Changda Real Estate to simply abstain and not join in the fun.
It was the turn of the third parcel of land, and there were seven real estate companies participating in the auction. It seemed that everyone thought this land was good. After all, good things are always easy to be sought after.
The auctioneer announced: "The third parcel of land has a starting price of 300,000 yuan per acre!"
Representatives from all seven companies followed.
In order to save time, the auctioneer asked to start bidding from the second round, "We bid 350,000." A business representative took the lead in bidding.
Before the auctioneer could say anything, the other six families followed suit.
"We offer 400,000 yuan," another company representative quoted.
"Four hundred thousand a time, do you want to follow?" the auctioneer raised the auction hammer.
"We offer half a million!"
Chapter completed!
