"Xiao Ran, what's wrong with you? I can't get through even though I called you several times. Are you still planning to buy the villa? If so, come over here as soon as possible. I'm already at the auction center now. If you don't come over, you can't get through.
It’s too late…”
As soon as the call was connected, Ma Zhiyuan's anxious voice came out from the phone. He scolded him and then immediately asked him to rush to the auction center.
Chen Ran could only nod his head repeatedly. Ma Zhiyuan called him, but he didn't receive it. Maybe he happened to be in the casino at that time. In the casino, the mobile phone signal was blocked, so naturally he couldn't receive the call.
While stopping the taxi, Chen Ran said into the phone: "Okay, Brother Yuan, I'll rush there right away. Where are you now?"
"You can drive directly to Tiancheng Building later. I'll have someone pick you up downstairs. You have to hurry up. Don't forget to bring your ID card. Okay, that's it for now. Come over as soon as possible. Don't call when you arrive.
, just send me a text message..."
Ma Zhiyuan might have been busy, so he exchanged a few words with Chen Ran and then hung up the phone.
As soon as Chen Rang hung up the phone, a taxi stopped in front of him. After the passengers got off the taxi, he immediately got in.
"Master, Tiancheng Building."
Hearing what Ma Zhiyuan said in such a hurry, Chen Ran was also racing against time. When the taxi was still far away from Tiancheng Building, he first took out twenty yuan in change and handed it to the taxi driver, and then immediately gave it to Ma Zhiyuan.
After sending a text message, as soon as the car stopped, he quickly opened the door and got out.
"Hello, are you Mr. Chen Ranchen?"
As soon as Chen Ran hurriedly walked to the door of Tiancheng Building, a young man about thirty years old with gold-rimmed eyes walked out. Originally, Chen Ran and this young man passed by each other, but the young man suddenly turned around and asked
There was a sound.
Chen Ran stopped, turned sideways and nodded.
"Hello, I am He Zhongliang, Mayor Ma's secretary. Mayor Ma asked me to pick you up..." Seeing Chen Ran nod, He Zhongliang immediately extended his hand warmly and shook Chen Ran's hand, taking a look at it.
He glanced at Chen Ran and wondered about Chen Ran's background...
Chen Ran also shook hands with him.
"Let's talk while walking." Time was urgent, so He Zhongliang didn't say much to Chen Ran. After saying these words, he turned around and led the way, with Chen Ran following behind him.
He Zhongliang took Chen Ran into the elevator, reached the sixth floor, and took Chen Ran into a small conference room. After letting Chen Ran sit down, he immediately took out a file from the briefcase he was carrying and spread it on the
In front of Chen Ran.
"Except for the empty bid funds, each copy must be signed. There is ink pad here, and a fingerprint is pressed on each signature..."
Chen Ran followed his instructions and signed his name in all the places where signatures were required. For each name, he pressed his fingerprint on the ink pad that the secretary took out. Except for the form for bidding funds, which was left unfilled, other places were filled out.
Fill in everything that needs to be filled in, and then give it to He Zhongliang.
"Mr. Chen, give me your ID card again, and I will handle the rest for you. You just need to sit here and wait."
He Zhongliang took the documents filled out by Chen Ran, then asked for Chen Ran's ID card, greeted Chen Ran, and hurriedly left the conference room.
Is this enough?
Chen Ran thought that it would be easier to do things with a mayor under his protection. Otherwise, it would not be that simple for him to take pictures of this villa. Now that Ma Zhiyuan is here, he will undoubtedly save a lot of effort. It seems that in the future, he and Ma Zhiyuan will
It is better to be as close and close to each other as possible.
Chen Ran sat in this conference room and waited. After waiting for about five or six minutes, he received a text message from Ma Zhiyuan, asking him if the funds were in place.
Chen Ran's prepared funds were naturally in place. He now had exactly 20 million in his bank card, no more, no less. When he won money in the casino, he was looking at this, so he saw Ma Zhiyuan sending it.
I received a text message and he immediately replied in the affirmative.
He sent a reply, but Ma Zhiyuan did not reply to him. The bidding should have already started.
Chen Ran originally thought that when bidding, he needed to participate on the spot. Now it seems that it is okay not to be present, which also makes him relieved. Naturally, the more low-key the better when it comes to the villa. After all, he bought this villa.
, not for living, but more for the things under the swimming pool in the villa...
There is no doubt that the less people know about it, the better.
Ma Zhiyuan moved very quickly. Less than ten minutes after sending him a text message, Ma Zhiyuan sent him another text message saying that it had been successful. This surprised him. He didn't expect it to be so fast...
Little did he know that this kind of bidding and auction is a very fast thing. All it takes is to open the bidding documents and disclose the bidding price. Ma Zhiyuan adopted this bidding method because he was afraid that the public bidding would lead to sky-high prices.
However, with this kind of bidding and auction, the number of bidders cannot be less than three. If there are less than three, the bid will be rejected and the bid will be re-tendered. Of course, if the bidders' bidding prices are too low, then naturally it will not work...
…
After receiving Ma Zhiyuan's reply, Chen Ran was completely relieved. After working on this matter for two days, he finally got the villa.
Bang bang bang...
Not five minutes after receiving Ma Zhiyuan's text message reply, there was a knock on the conference room door.
"Come in."
Chen Ran said hello, and the door of the conference room was pushed open, only to see He Zhongliang walking in with five or six people.
After He Zhongliang's introduction, these five or six people included a notary, the person in charge of the auction center, a lawyer, the person in charge of Qinglong Villa, the person in charge of finance, etc... Qinglong Villa is the villa where the villa is located.
After the introduction, there was not much greeting, and the formalities were completed directly. A lot of formalities were completed, and the payment was made. After the formalities were completed, the villa belonged to Chen Ran.
Chen Ran had a total of 20 million in funds, and he spent 19.5 million to buy this villa. According to He Zhongliang, the Taiwanese businessman's bidding price was 19.3 million.
Chen Ran could also understand that there was an increase of 200,000 yuan compared to the Taiwanese businessman. After all, Ma Zhiyuan couldn't make it too obvious. If it was only 12,500 yuan more, then everyone would see the trick.
After the formalities were completed, everyone except He Zhongliang shook hands with Chen Ran and left directly.
"Mr. Chen, congratulations on winning the auction."
When other people were around, He Zhongliang looked serious, but when the others left, his face suddenly changed.
Chen Ran could feel that He Zhongliang's attitude towards him at this time had obviously changed a little compared to the beginning. It seemed that he was a little more intimate. Although he was very enthusiastic at first, he was always separated by a layer, but now he treats him
Treat it as one of your own.
"Secretary He, please stop calling me Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen sounds so old. I'm not that old yet. Just call me by my name."
Even though he had Ma Zhiyuan's relationship, Chen Ran did not show off in front of He Zhongliang. Although He Zhongliang was just a small secretary, if the secretary was not fake, it would also depend on whose secretary it was, the secretary to the mayor of a prefecture-level city.
, that should also be at the formal level. When traveling to the lower districts and counties, the county magistrate and county party committee secretary below will have to support him. Even if he is transferred to the lower level, he will still be at the deputy county magistrate and deputy secretary level.
He is inconspicuous to the people above, but he is a great god to the people below. This point can undoubtedly be deeply reflected from someone in "Dwelling in a Snail".
Chen Ran can't bother Ma Zhiyuan with everything big or small in the future. If he gets familiar with He Zhongliang and encounters some things that He Zhongliang can do just by saying hello, he will naturally not need to bother Ma Zhiyuan.
So Chen Ran is still willing to get closer to He Zhongliang.
"Then I'll call you Mr. Chen."
After hearing what Chen Ran said, He Zhongliang was also very happy. He was naturally willing to make friends with Chen Ran. Not to mention that Chen Ran could spend nearly 20 million to buy a mansion at such a young age, just because of Chen Ran and Ma Zhiyuan's.
He also wanted to be close to Chen Ran. At first, he didn't know the relationship between Chen Ran and Ma Zhiyuan. He just thought they were the eldest son of which family. However, when Ma Zhiyuan mentioned Chen Ran in front of him just now, he directly called Chen Ran "little boy".
Of course, and through him, he asked him to send a message to Chen Ran, saying that Mr. Ma asked Chen Ran to go to Mr. Ma's place for dinner at noon...
No matter which family Chen Ran is the eldest son of, from this point alone, we can undoubtedly see the close relationship between Chen Ran and the Ma family. Otherwise, Chen Ran would not be so casually allowed to go to Mr. Ma’s place for dinner.
As if it was commonplace, he still knew Mr. Ma's temper. Not everyone could go there casually. At least Mayor Ma usually wouldn't take him with him every time he went to the old man's place...
A secretary must be able to figure out what the leader wants. Mayor Ma asked him to send a message to Chen Ran. Naturally, he had to think more about things. Why did Mayor Ma ask him to send a message instead of telling the other party directly by calling him?
The meaning is undoubtedly obvious, that is, to let him get close to the other person...
Whether it was his own intention or Ma Zhiyuan's instruction, he was naturally willing to get close to Chen Ran. At first, he was worried that Chen Ran would be difficult to maintain, but now he is relieved.
But when he was asked to call Chen Ran directly by his name, he found it difficult to say it. After all, when he heard Chen Ran call Ma Zhiyuan, he directly called him Brother Yuan...
Chen Ran nodded, which was regarded as acquiescence. He did not dwell on this issue. He mainly wanted to get closer to He Zhongliang. It didn't matter how he called it...
After packing up the documents, Chen Ran was going to invite He Zhongliang to dinner, but he didn't expect He Zhongliang to tell him that the old man was waiting for him to have lunch at home...
Although Chen Ran was a little surprised as to why Ma Zhiyuan didn't tell him about this in person, he didn't think much about it. Naturally, he wouldn't have thought of the reason behind it.
"Then I'll invite Brother He to dinner next time!"
Chen Ran and He Zhongliang came out of the conference room together, said their goodbyes and left. After all, Mr. Ma was still waiting for him, and He Zhongliang had sent him downstairs...
After leaving Tiancheng Building, Chen Ran rushed to Mr. Ma's place. On the way, he received a call from Ma Zhiyuan, asking him if he had gone to the old man's place. He said that the old man seemed to have something to do with him and asked him to come over...
…
Chen Ran told Ma Zhiyuan that he was on his way there, and Ma Zhiyuan hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ran was a little curious about what would happen if the old man suddenly came to see him?
