On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every household puts up New Year's couplets. People get up early, put on their most beautiful clothes, dress up neatly, and go out to visit relatives and friends, pay New Year's greetings to each other, and wish good luck in the coming year. Due to different customs in different places,
Similarly, in some places, New Year greetings are celebrated on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
If you are in the countryside, you can hear the loud and non-stop sound of firecrackers early in the morning. According to custom, it is called "opening the door firecrackers", which means that the door is open. After the sound of firecrackers, the ground is filled with red, shining like clouds and brocade.
It's called "Full House Red".
When I woke up early in the morning, I saw firecrackers and red paper everywhere, and there was a joyful atmosphere everywhere. However, you obviously cannot see this kind of scene in Dongning City, because the setting off of fireworks is prohibited in the city.
You can see the red couplets posted on the street by the Cultural Affairs Bureau.
Although according to custom, the market is closed for three days from the eve of the New Year to the second day of the Lunar New Year, there are still many businesses that open their doors early to welcome the latest weather in the new year.
For Dongning City, the first day of the Lunar New Year will be a moment that determines the history of Dongning. The start of the bidding meeting means that the construction of the new economic zone has officially begun. Who can get the largest construction rights and development rights?
It seems that some people have already reached a conclusion.
The joint supervision team composed of the development and reform, supervision, construction, transportation, water conservancy, audit and other departments arrived at the Donghua Hotel early. The venue here was specially arranged for this bidding meeting. The Donghua Hotel
The five-star hotel is the most powerful of the four companies bidding this time and is a subsidiary of Jiujiang Group.
Jiujiang Group, also in Dongning City, only has such a project. It is said that the chairman and general manager of Jiujiang Group will attend the bidding meeting. The entire new economic zone project involves construction funds of up to 200 billion.
It is so huge that no one group can easily swallow it.
Even Jiujiang Group's working capital is only tens of billions, and it is impossible to directly use all the tens of billions for this bidding. In fact, what each company wants is construction rights and land development rights. With these
Right, after the evaluation, you can easily get a bank loan.
For banks, they don't have much, but they have a lot of money and liquidity. Loaning huge amounts of money to these companies, especially real estate companies, is definitely a profitable business.
In fact, the banks originally had no money, but when people deposited their money, the banks naturally had money, so there was such a strange and ironic cycle.
People deposit their money in banks, and banks take the money and lend it to developers. Developers use the money to build houses. After building the houses, they sell them to the people at a high price. The most ironic thing is that the people cannot afford the high-priced houses.
In the end, the only option is to take out the money in the bank, go to the bank to get a mortgage, and borrow money from the bank to the developer to pay for the house. And the people finally have to charge interest when they repay the money to the bank.
Under this cycle, a new era term emerged, house slave.
What is pitiful is that no one knows that under this kind of compound interest rate and empty investment speculation, not only does it not invigorate the economy at all, but it turns the economy into a puddle of stagnant water. Things that can be bought with one dollar can only be bought with ten dollars.
Buy it, but it is the common people who ultimately pay the heavy price.
After all, developers and banks have made a lot of money. Even if there is inflation, the money in their hands is still enough for them to live very well, leading a very enviable and even greedy life.
The atmosphere of the entire bidding meeting was very lively. There were dignitaries from Dongning City and even Jiangnan Province coming and going, chatting with each other. The seats in the front row of the meeting were occupied by the Municipal Party Committee. It is said that this time, Secretary Yu of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor Yang
The Yangtze River Delta will be present at the venue in person because they are the bidding party for the construction of the new economic zone.
With the commissioner from the Central Development and Reform Commission present, neither Secretary Yu nor Mayor Yang can interfere with the outcome of this bid. The entire bid has been reviewed by all four parties.
Soon, people from Jiujiang Group arrived at the venue. The leader was an older man with a cane. Although he looked carefree, there was a bit of sinister look between his eyebrows and his eyes were bright.
God, he looks so energetic.
As soon as the old man came, everyone present stood up, with smiles and compliments on their faces, and greeted the old man with "Happy New Year".
It's just that the old man just nodded, and accompanying him was a young man. This young man looked to be in his twenties, but his face showed a rebellious look, as if he didn't look down on anyone, and he followed behind him.
With a large group of bodyguards and staff, the Jiujiang Group entered the venue like a crowd of stars.
The old man's name is Xie Chang. Despite this ordinary name, it represents the entire Jiujiang Group. He has the titles of aluminum king and private shipbuilding giant. Jiujiang Group is involved in all walks of life, but few are in the real estate industry.
The reason why he appears here this time seems to be that this old man wants to lead his Jiujiang Group into the real estate industry.
The young man next to the old man is Xie Chang's only son, and Xie Chang himself is a representative of the provincial government. The Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference has a close relationship with the central government. Therefore, when Xie Chang came here in person this time, everyone felt that Jiujiang Group was bound to win.
.
Later, Wansheng Group and Menglong Group both arrived, and Wei Ziyun also came with his son Wei Dongkui. He was still so high-spirited and at his peak.
Ye Menglong, on the other hand, was dressed in gorgeous attire, exuding nobility, dazzling, yet elegant.
After Wei Ziyun and Ye Menglong paid New Year's greetings to Xie Chang, they each returned to their respective companies. The entire bidding was conducted under the watchful eye of major domestic and foreign media, and many media will broadcast live to highlight the importance of this bidding.
It was open and transparent. Except for the rostrum, most reporters were at their seats.
At about half past eight, Secretary Yu of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor Yang came in a brief trip. With Secretary Yu as the leader, they first went to Xie Chang and paid New Year greetings to Xie Chang, and then went to Wei Ziyun and Ye Menglong.
After talking with them, we each took our seats. The bidding meeting was scheduled to start at nine o'clock.
There are a total of five large-scale projects in the construction of the new economic zone and more than thirty small projects. But everyone knows that the most important projects are the previous five, because one of them is more than the thirty-some small projects.
Among these five major projects, they are nothing more than core projects in the new economic zone. This project will serve as the core of the entire Dongning City economy in the future and will be used to attract investment. Whoever gets the development rights and construction rights of this place is nothing less than
It is equivalent to controlling the future cornucopia of Dongning City.
There was still a lot of discussion in the venue, and with the last ten minutes left, no one found any trace of the dark horse company Oriental International. Some people even felt that Oriental International might be timid. Even if they came, compared with the other three giants,
, that is also the difference between ants and elephants. The focus of all media is on the three giants. As for Oriental International, this newly established small company, at most, it only has the effect of a dragonfly on the water, and will not cause any changes in the entire lake.
But no one has ever thought that there is a word called the butterfly effect. A butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America, occasionally flapping its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later.
The person who presided over the meeting was Director Jiang of the New Economic Zone Construction Planning Office after recovering from his injury. Although Director Jiang has now been removed from the position of deputy director of the Education Bureau, it has not affected his future.
He walked to the rostrum, looked at the time, and saw that there was only the last minute left, but no one from Oriental International Co., Ltd. arrived, so he glanced at Mayor Yang and Secretary Yu, and they both nodded.
Finally, Director Jiang said: "Welcome to the bidding meeting for the construction of Dongning New Economic Zone. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. On behalf of the municipal party committee and government, I would like to wish the people of the city and everyone here a happy New Year."
With that said, Director Jiang bowed, and applause suddenly sounded like thunder. Director Jiang raised his hand, and after the applause ended, he said: "Now, I announce that the bidding meeting for the construction of the new economic zone has officially opened...
.”
Before he could say the first word, a voice suddenly came: "Wait a minute."
Then everyone looked at this person, and all the focus was on this person. None of them knew why, but some people still recognized the two people who came.
"Isn't this the specially appointed teacher who was fired by the Ministry of Education? Why did he come to the bidding meeting?" The reporters started talking, but they gave the camera to Canglong and the cold woman behind him.
The big shots and celebrities present frowned. Director Jiang's expression changed on the rostrum. He knew that this guy would definitely be up to no good if he came, but he still smiled and said: "Sir, the bidding meeting has strict security requirements. May I ask?
Do you have any documents?"
"Certificate?" Canglong said nothing, but walked towards the seat of the president of Oriental International and sat on it carelessly.
Then there was an uproar in the venue, and there were many speculations: "Is he the president of Oriental International?"
"It's possible." People at the venue speculated.
At this time, Ye Menglong and Wei Ziyun both looked at Cang Long, who was sitting in the position of President of Oriental International. One took it as a matter of course, while the other frowned.
"Why are you here, Teacher Cang?" Wei Dongkui, who was sitting next to his father, frowned.
As for Secretary Yu sitting in front, her face was cold. She knew very well that Cang Long would never do anything good when he came here. After all, she prevented Yu Xue from being together with Cang Long, and perhaps becoming the president of Oriental International. What did he want to prove?
, but what can he use to prove it? Secretary Yu’s heart was tense, but he relaxed again.
Without Director Jiang saying anything, several armed police security guards walked up to Canglong and Heiman, saluted, and then said: "Sir, please show your ID."
Canglong ignored him. Instead, Heiman, who was sitting next to him, took out his ID. On it was clearly written the president of Oriental International Co., Ltd. The armed police security guard had some doubts: "This ID does not match who I am. Please leave."
"We just bought this Oriental International, and all the procedures have been completed." Heiman took out a stack of materials and handed them to the armed police.
The armed policeman saluted and then took it for verification. At this time, everyone around heard Heiman's words and thought that Oriental International was really here to join in the fun. The president was changed before the bidding even started.
But soon, the people of the municipal party committee and Director Jiang got the answer. All the materials provided by Canglong were legal. According to the procedures, the current president of Oriental International can participate in the bidding...
