Liu Haotian really did not expect that after Jianglong County issued a policy restricting the illegal listing of policy land, Steve and Hals Biotechnology Group's counterattack would be so fierce.
For the next three months, housing prices in Jianglong County continued to rise crazily.
In just eight months, housing prices in Jianglong County have more than doubled.
Not only Jianglong County, but also the entire Bailu City's housing prices are soaring crazily. Although they are not soaring as fast as Jianglong County, the increase in housing prices has also exceeded 50%.
The craziest thing is the company Xianglong Investment. In just a few months, they used various means to raise funds, and the total amount of financing exceeded 25 billion yuan. With this huge amount of funds under their control, they began to decline.
Crazy land buying in various parts of Long County is constantly boosting the rise in land prices in the land supply market in Jianglong County and the entire Bailu City.
Especially in Jianglong County, the land auction price has increased by 1.2 times compared with 8 months ago. And most of these lands are in the hands of Xianglong Investment.
As for the second-hand housing market, Xianglong Investment has directly completed the monopoly. 70% of the real estate agencies in the second-hand housing market in Jianglong County have been acquired by Xianglong Investment in various ways.
At this moment, in the conference room of Bailu City, Vice Mayor Duan Zhengtao and Steve were sitting face to face. Duan Zhengtao said with a serious expression: "Mr. Steve, this time I formally represent Bailu City to interview your company.
According to the information we have, Xianglong Investment, a subsidiary of Hals Biotechnology Group, has made frequent moves recently, which has contributed to the crazy surge in real estate prices in Bailu City. I hope you will restrain your actions in the future and not do things too much.
It's too much. This matter has attracted great attention from the provincial party committee and requires us to stabilize housing prices as soon as possible."
Steve nodded slightly: "Mayor Duan, I understand your concerns very much. However, there are some things that I need to correct. The increase in overall housing prices in Bailu City is not entirely due to our Hals Group."
After all, the overall scale of the entire Bailu City real estate market has exceeded tens of billions, and the funds in our hands are only tens of billions. We simply cannot leverage such a huge industry. We can only say that we are under our control.
Within the scope, normal business operations are ongoing.
Moreover, I think the rise in housing prices is not a bad thing for our Bailu City.
First of all, the housing prices in Bailu City used to be relatively low. Compared with the surrounding cities, the housing prices in Bailu City were obviously about 30% lower than them. Because of this, the price of land in Bailu City was also significantly lower than
This results in the land fiscal revenue of Bailu City being much lower than that of surrounding cities.
Therefore, objectively speaking, the rise in housing prices in Bailu City has not done any harm to Bailu City. On the contrary, it has boosted the fiscal revenue of Bailu City.
I think from this perspective, Bailu City should be grateful to our companies.
Of course, in Jianglong County, house prices are indeed rising rapidly, but the root of this problem does not lie with our company, but with the leadership of Jianglong County and the wrong decisions made by Liu Haotian of Jianglong County.
If you really want to criticize, you should criticize Liu Haotian.
Of course, as the person in charge of the company, since Mayor Duan has interviewed us on behalf of Bailu City, I will also make it clear that our Hals Biotechnology Group will be based in Bailu City and respect Bailu City’s choice.
, contribute our own strength to the economic development of Bailu City."
This interview was conducted in a friendly atmosphere, and both parties were satisfied with the final outcome of the interview.
After the meeting, Duan Zhengtao immediately reported the content of the interview to Gao Pengfei. After Duan Pengfei listened, he frowned and thought for a while, nodded and said, "What Steve said is right. In terms of suppressing housing prices, Jianglong County
They have done a very poor job, especially Liu Haotian. As the secretary of the county party committee, he cannot come up with any effective strategies to suppress housing prices. Now the people of Jianglong County are full of complaints. I think it is time to report and criticize Liu Haotian."
At the subsequent meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, under Gao Pengfei's suggestion, it was finally approved that Liu Haotian should be criticized in a citywide notice. At the same time, it was clearly pointed out in this notice of criticism that if Liu Haotian was unable to suppress the rise in housing prices in the next six months,
If it rises like crazy, Liu Haotian will be directly removed from his position as county party secretary.
This notification was sent directly to the Jianglong County Party Committee on the same day it was made.
After seeing this notice, Wei Chenghu was filled with excitement. He immediately went to Liu Haotian and asked to convene an emergency county committee standing committee to discuss how to stabilize housing prices.
Liu Haotian gave Wei Chenghu a cold look and nodded in agreement.
At this Standing Committee meeting, Wei Chenghu directly took out the circular to criticize, looked at Liu Haotian with provocative eyes and said: "Secretary Liu, I believe you should know that although the criticism in the circular is directed at you, the rest of us
There is no good fruit for people to eat.
After all, we all have a responsibility.
Therefore, I think we must take effective measures to stabilize housing prices."
Liu Haotian nodded: "What County Magistrate Wei said is very good, we must stabilize housing prices as soon as possible, but the question now is, Magistrate Wei, do you have any good measures to solve this matter?
In the past few months, we have implemented purchase restrictions, and in reality we have also implemented restrictions. We have even restricted loans, but as a result, house prices are still rising crazily.
In fact, you and I both know the root cause of this rise in housing prices. It is Hals Group that is stirring up trouble behind the scenes. Do you have any better ideas?"
Wei Chenghu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
So far, all the policies that Jianglong County should use have been implemented, but housing prices still show no signs of calming down, which makes Wei Chenghu very angry.
Liu Haotian glanced at everyone coldly and said, "Do you all have any good ideas?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Liu Haotian said calmly: "Since everyone has no good solution, please listen to me. Regarding the matter of stabilizing housing prices, you don't need to worry. I know this matter well. Give me another three months, and I can do it."
I promise you that within three months, I will definitely bring the housing prices in Jianglong County back to the original level.
If we can’t do it, I, Liu Haotian, will resign directly!”
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, all the Standing Committee members present widened their eyes with disbelief written on their faces.
No one expected that Liu Haotian, who had been silent all this time, actually looked confident at this moment.
What the hell is going on?
Wei Chenghu frowned and said, "Secretary Liu, are you kidding? You should know that you are the top leader of our Jianglong County, and what you say must be true to your word."
Liu Haotian said with a smile: "County Magistrate Wei, is there anything I, Liu Haotian, say that I don't keep true to my word?"
Wei Chenghu looked at Wang Xiangdong: "Director Wang, have you written down what Secretary Liu just said?"
Wang Xiangdong nodded: "It has been recorded."
Wei Chenghu said no more.
Less than 10 minutes after the meeting ended, Steve convened his team for another meeting at the Xinyuan Hotel in Bailu City.
Steve said in a deep voice: "Everyone, not long ago, Jianglong County held a standing committee meeting. At this standing committee meeting, Liu Haotian faced the criticism from the Bailu Municipal Committee and responded swornly that he was confident
Within three months, the house prices in Jianglong County will be brought back to the original level. Let's talk about it. Is Liu Haotian bragging, or does he really have any solution?"
Vice President James smiled disdainfully and said: "I think Liu Haotian is definitely bragging and just using delaying tactics. Think about it, from the beginning to now, what strategies has Jianglong County not used? Sales restrictions, loan restrictions,
To limit the supply of land, all the policy means they can use have been exhausted, but it is of no use. For us, we have money and everything can be settled.
Although Liu Haotian is the secretary of the county party committee, China is now a market economy, and the policy means he can use are very limited. Faced with this huge monster of the market, Liu Haotian has no way."
Afterwards, other people also spoke one after another, with basically the same meaning. Everyone still thought Liu Haotian was bragging.
Steve frowned and said: "Although my subjective opinions are similar to everyone else's, I think we can't take it lightly. Let's spend some money and hire some professional investigators to monitor Liu Haotian's movements 24 hours a day.
From now on, no matter what Liu Haotian wants to do, he can't escape our sight."
Everyone immediately agreed.
Liu Haotian, on his side, immediately called Wang Xiangdong to his office after the meeting ended.
After sitting down, Wang Xiangdong looked at Liu Haotian and asked: "Secretary Liu, are the promises you made at the Standing Committee today a bluff, or are you confident?"
Liu Haotian smiled bitterly and said, "It's a bluff."
Wang Xiangdong's eyes suddenly widened: "Secretary Liu, are you kidding me? Why are you doing this?"
Liu Haotian shrugged helplessly: "What kind of joke is this? I have no choice but to do this? Don't you see it? Some people in the city have been deliberately trying to take me down, even though they gave me the money on the surface.
Half a year, but I'm sure they will find a way to take me down in less than half a year. Instead of doing that, I might as well directly commit to three months to get the matter done. In this way, the initiative will be in my hands.
In my hands, they will definitely not dare to touch me within these three months."
Wang Xiangdong thought carefully and nodded with a wry smile.
What Liu Haotian said was correct. Although the criticism in this circular included the Jianglong County Party Committee, in fact, the real target was Liu Haotian.
"Secretary Liu, how can I help?" Wang Xiangdong asked.
Liu Haotian looked at Wang Xiangdong and said: "Old Wang, you have stayed in Bailu City for a relatively long time and have come into contact with more people. Among the people you have come into contact with, are there any people who are particularly capable and capable, and can even reach the level of a national scholar?"
What level?
Now, since we can no longer solve this problem by relying on our own abilities, we can only seek foreign aid. If we can find masters of the level of Guoshi, then maybe the problem before us can be solved."
Wang Xiangdong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My rank is too low. But I know a deputy mayor who has a wide network of contacts and a solid foundation in Chinese studies. He knows many high-ranking people, and even many eminent monks and Taoist priests are his friends. If you want to say
If anyone knows him, he is the only possible candidate."
In the afternoon of that day, Wang Xiangdong took Liu Haotian to Fenghuang City, the provincial capital, and visited Wang Xiangdong's good friend Guan Renshan, the deputy mayor of Fenghuang City.
After Guan Renshan heard Wang Xiangdong explain his purpose of coming, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Wang Xiangdong, you are causing trouble for me. I am just taking a temporary job in Phoenix City and don't want to participate in any struggle anywhere."
Liu Haotian heard what Guan Renshan said and said with a smile: "Mayor Guan, I'm very sorry for causing you trouble. Director Wang, let's go."
Wang Xiangdong also sighed, stood up and prepared to leave.
Guan Renshan suddenly said: "Liu Haotian, you are from Kyoto City, right?"
Liu Haotian nodded.
Guan Renshan asked again: "Do you know the master of Gezhizhai? If you know him and recommend him to me, I can help you. I have always admired the master of Gezhizhai, but I have never had the opportunity to meet him."
Liu Haotian did not expect that Guan Renshan would suddenly mention the master of Gezhi Zhai.
Liu Haotian smiled: "Mayor Guan, if you want to talk about other people, I really don't know him, but I happen to know Master Gezhizhai because he is my teacher."
Guan Renshan's face suddenly showed a look of shock: "The master of Gezhizhai is your teacher? He is a master of Chinese studies!"
Liu Haotian smiled and said: "Yes, he is my teacher. Although my teacher is no longer interested in world affairs and does not meet outsiders, he will definitely be willing to meet those knowledgeable people who actively promote our Chinese culture. I
I can help you with a recommendation.”
The expression on Guan Renshan's face suddenly became excited: "Okay, that's great. If I can pay a visit to the master of Gezhi Zhai and listen to his wise opinions, I believe that my level of Chinese studies can be improved a lot."
If that's the case, then I won't hide it. I'll help you!
In our Nanyi Province, there is only one person who can be considered an expert. This person's name is Sima Mou. He is only 32 years old this year, but he has become a professor at Nanyi University. He has a bachelor's degree from Tsinghua University, a master's degree from Peking University, and a PhD from Harvard.
He is a super talented person, but he has an arrogant personality and has no intention of pursuing an official career. He only wants to teach and educate people. What he hates the most is people in officialdom.
My friendship with him can only be regarded as a gentleman's friendship. I can only tell you his general situation, but I cannot recommend him to you, because I don't have such a big face, and he won't give face to anyone.
But I can tell you for sure that Sima Mou's talent is definitely not inferior to that of Sima Yi during the Three Kingdoms period. Although this man is young, he is absolutely scheming. He is the only young man I have ever met who makes me sincerely convinced. He
His foresight is far beyond that of ordinary people. Even when I, the deputy mayor, talk about economics with him, I can only feel ashamed. His casual remarks can bring me profound enlightenment.
.
If you can ask him to help you, no matter how big your difficulty is, I believe it can be easily solved.
However, I would also like to remind you that precisely because of this man's talent, many provincial leaders and even leaders from other provinces tried to recruit him, but no one could succeed.
This is the only information I can help you with."
After listening to this, Liu Haotian quickly said: "Mayor Guan, thank you very much. This information is enough."
Walking out of Guan Renshan's office, Wang Xiangdong said with a wry smile: "Secretary Liu, according to Mayor Guan, this Sima Mou is very difficult to hire. They don't even pay attention to the leaders of the province, let alone you.
