Chapter 1202
Meng Haisheng's series of elaborate strategies made Fangyuan Group's influence in the market disappear quietly and disappear from the public's view.
His swift actions forced the business leaders to re-examine this long-lost business giant.
Since Meng Haisheng left China, many business people in Beijing have speculated that he may have given up the domestic market and turned to the bigger stage of Europe and Mexico.
But no one expected that he would suddenly set off such a storm in Beijing.
In the past two years, the Fang family has been in the limelight in Beijing. But Meng Haisheng has quietly caused the Fang family's most profitable Fangyuan Group to fall apart.
Everyone is waiting to see how the Qu family will help given the relationship between the Fang family and the Qu family.
However, unexpectedly, the Qu family not only did not lend a hand, but after the dust settled, through the Qu family's channels, provided Meng Haisheng with several plots of land and a major municipal construction project.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the Qu family is supporting Meng Haisheng.
This business tycoon who has been silent for many years seems to have returned to people's attention.
However, just when everyone thought that Meng Haisheng would return to the stage of Beijing's upper class society, he quietly boarded a private plane and left Beijing.
Those who hoped to get close to Meng Haisheng by inviting him to dinner could only sigh in the end.
Meng Haisheng received a call from Qu Dayong as soon as he arrived in Hong Kong Island.
"Brother Haisheng, you just ran away like this, my grandfather still wants to see you."
"Dayong, it's just a small matter, why do you need to alarm the old man. Next time I return to Beijing, I will definitely visit the old man in person."
"You call a few hundred million investment a small matter?"
Qu Dayong smiled with a little helplessness.
Old man Qu took hundreds of millions of funds to invest in Meng Haisheng's real estate company for Qu Dayong. He does not need to ask about the company's operations, he only needs to sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor every year, and the generous dividends roll in.
As for the municipal project and the land, they were valuable gifts given by Mr. Qu to express his deep gratitude to Meng Haisheng for supporting Qu Dayong.
Mr. Qu was so generous, as long as Qu Dayong did not seek a dead end, Meng Haisheng would naturally protect him.
"Dayong, work hard. The sales of health products in our pharmaceutical factory have been booming in the past two years. In the second half of this year, I will re-integrate resources and further expand the scale of the pharmaceutical company."
Qu Dayong was extremely excited on the other end of the phone, "I think it will work. The sales of brain-clearing oral liquid and health tea are booming, and the orders have been arranged until autumn. Dr. Lin's new variety of lotus can be planted on a large scale, and he is preparing to launch a new health product."
"Now the production workshop is not enough. He wants to launch a new product, and I have to expand the pharmaceutical factory."
The two hung up the phone after discussing some work matters.
In the bustling Hong Kong Island, Gu Baiyu and Pi Guangen were waiting for Meng Haisheng's arrival in the bustling crowd at the airport.
"Boss, you are finally back. Why didn't you bring the two Miss Meng with you?"
Gu Baiyu asked expectantly.
Meng Haisheng shrugged his shoulders, with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "They are still in school, and their studies are the most important."
Gu Baiyu asked anxiously, "What about my third album?"
"Just wait. My wife said that unless they can get an A in every subject, she will not agree to let them come to Hong Kong Island to record the album in advance, and the earliest is summer vacation."
Gu Baiyu's face flashed with disappointment. Recently, the reputation of Zhuyi Entertainment has been rising. He originally planned to make a fortune by taking advantage of the popularity of the Meng sisters. Now it seems that all this will be postponed.
"Boss, getting an A in all subjects is too high a requirement. Even the top students of Hong Kong University may not be able to do it." Gu Baiyu said with some frustration.
Meng Haisheng smiled and said, "In our family, the wife's words are the law."
Gu Baiyu looked at Meng Haisheng in surprise. He didn't expect that this big boss who was unrivaled in the business world would listen to his wife in private.
Meng Haisheng's schedule in Hong Kong Island was tight. He did not return to the luxury villa by the sea, but returned to the mansion in the city center. He only rested for half a day and then plunged into the intense work.
In the conference room of the Hong Kong Branch of the Fourth Continent Group, Meng Haisheng and Pi Guangen discussed the land acquisition.
The conference room was spacious and bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows on one wall. Through the windows, you can see the skyline of Hong Kong Island, which is busy and charming.
Boss Pi, you may have to work harder these days. I need to meet several important people to discuss the land acquisition. Please help me prepare the information and we will have another meeting later. "
Pi Guangen responded quickly: "I understand, Boss Meng."
He had received Meng Haisheng's email in advance and was prepared for the content of the next meeting.He knew the land that Meng Haisheng valued, and he had done sufficient research. Today's meeting was mainly to discuss land prices.
"Mr. Gu, I looked at your recent financial statements. You made 12 movies in the first quarter of this year. This is too exaggerated."
"This is just the beginning. Didn't you see that there are people lining up to shoot costume dramas at the cinema? If I didn't have enough funds, I would have made 20 movies in the first quarter."
Gu Baiyu's gestures were excited, as if he was directing an incredible movie feast.
"This year's annual plan is 160 movies."
The current film and TV drama market in Hong Kong Island is like a gold mine. Although a movie may only make a few million, it can't stop the large number.
If a few of them can become popular, it will make more money.
Meng Haisheng pondered for a moment, "Submit a funding application later. If there is no big problem, you can boldly make movies this year. What we want is works that are both creative and profitable."
This time Meng Haisheng came to Hong Kong Island for another important battlefield-real estate.
The current real estate market in Hong Kong Island is like a taut string, and every move is full of potential profits and risks.
This time Meng Haisheng came to Hong Kong Island to seize this opportunity - to pick up bargains!
A few days ago, Qu Feiyang introduced several bigwigs who were eager to go abroad and planned to sell their assets.
Meng Haisheng had already planned every move in his mind. He sent people to contact these bigwigs. Although they were eager to sell, the price they offered was not low at all.
When he was in Beijing, some bigwigs had called him, but he was busy at the time and did not respond immediately.
As the return of 97 approached, those who wanted to leave became more and more anxious. Meng Haisheng knew the art of waiting and chose to act at the most appropriate time.
After the meeting, Meng Haisheng called Pi Guangen to a more private small meeting room.
"Boss, Zhou Yaozu just heard that you were coming to Hong Kong Island, so he called me and wanted to meet you."
Meng Haisheng chuckled: "Boss Zhou is well-informed. He called me just after I arrived at the company."
"He is in a hurry to go to Mexico, and he has a lot of real estate and land. He said he wanted to sell it last year, but he hasn't sold it yet."
"Okay, let's have dinner together tonight."
The focus of their discussion was the Star Building.
This is a seven-story shopping mall at the bottom and a 23-story hotel above, all of which are Boss Zhou's property.
"At present, the negotiations for other plots of land are relatively smooth, but the price negotiations for the Star Building are deadlocked. Boss Zhou has been holding on to 3.6 billion and won't let go."
"Just cut it in half, I don't want a cent more!"
"If it weren't for the fact that it is in a good location and can be demolished and rebuilt after it is acquired, I wouldn't want a 60-year-old building."
Meng Haisheng is interested in the value of the land, not the old building.
Zhou Yaozu relied on the prime location of the building to shout out a sky-high price of 3.6 billion, dreaming of making money.
But in the current market environment of Hong Kong Island, no one is willing to pay a price of 3.6 billion for an old building.
Even if the market value of the land is about 2 billion, it is still unknown whether there are buyers to take it.
"There is no rush for this matter. We have enough time to deal with Mr. Zhou."
"In the past six months, we are the only ones who have asked him about the price of the Star Building. If he really wants to sell it, I am the only choice."
He turned to Pi Guangen, "Boss Pi, watch me take down Mr. Zhou today."
Now the two of them are playing a psychological game. Whoever can't stand it first will lose.
