Chapter 1337 - 1337 Second Round of Bidding

1337 Second Round of Bidding

Xiao Zhen sat down and felt Leis gaze. He immediately looked up.

After a while, he said, I cant tell you for the time being. Please wait a few days.

Including Lei, half of the targets had been resolved, so the remaining few people shouldnt take long.

Lei said nothing and only nodded. He had expected this result.

As long as he knew the reason, it was fine to wait a few more days.

Youre welcome. Just stay here. Tell me if you need anything else, Lei looked at them and said.

Ming Zui answered on behalf of them, Thank you.

Baiyun Citys City Planning Bureau, in the conference hall on the top floor.

At this moment, the second round of bidding for South Citys reconstruction plan was in full swing.

Because of Jian Ais full marks bid, East Sea Real Estate miraculously broke out of the siege in the first round and became the smallest company among all the real estate companies in the second round.

East Sea Real Estates scale was not enough to take down such a big project.

If a lucky incident could happen once, it was basically impossible for it to happen a second time. Moreover, there was a third round of bidding.

Therefore, the entire Baiyun real estate world knew very well that although East Sea Real Estate had created many miracles in the industry, this project would not fall into their hands.

Without Jian Ai around, Bai Zhou would handle and decide everything in the company.

The second round of bidding was to make the plan and ideas into a PowerPoint presentation. The companys representatives would compete by running through the presentation. Professionals from the City Planning Bureau would choose the top two from the nominees to enter the third round of bidding.

East Sea Real Estate had an advantage. After all, Jian Ai was a real estate tyc.o.o.n who started from scratch in her previous life. Her thoughts and ideals far exceeded the current era.

Even so, the scale and experience of the company were East Sea Real Estates weakness.

Therefore, after almost six hours of bidding, East Sea Real Estate finally failed to enter the final bidding.

The companies that entered the third round of bidding were Jian Changshengs Jian Group and Lu Youcais Hongxiang Group.

Even Chen Leis Century Group fell in the second round and was eliminated with regret.

However, this result was expected by East Sea Real Estate. Jian Ai knew her advantages, but she also knew that their shortcomings were too fatal.

Perhaps only after the company operated for another three to five years, would they be qualified to compete with the Jian Group for such a big project.

After the bidding ended, everyone rushed out like a swarm of bees.

Chen Lei smiled bitterly and shook Bai Zhous hand at the door. He said, Were brothers in distress. I didnt expect us to fail together in the second round.

Chen Lei was a little unconvinced. In terms of experience and the scale of the company, their company could completely handle the reconstruction project.

However, the Jian Group was too powerful, and Hongxiang was determined to win. Under a pincer attack from both sides, if Century Groups ideas and creativity could not innovate, it would be very difficult to qualify.

On the other hand, Bai Zhou had a relaxed expression on his face. He did not complain. Instead, he comforted Chen Lei. Chairman Chen, dont be too regretful. The compet.i.tion this time is fierce. As long as we do our best, well listen to fate.

The overall situation had been decided. Thinking too much would only add to his troubles. Chen Lei nodded helplessly. Youre right. However, Im afraid this project will belong to the Jian Group again.

In the many years of the Baiyun real estate world, as long as the Jian Group took part in the bidding, there were almost no failures.

Therefore, when East Sea Real Estate was established, the matter of Jian Ai s.n.a.t.c.hing two pieces of land from Jian Changsheng caused a sensation because this had never happened in the Baiyun real estate world.

Oh, oh. Brother Chen, Manager Bai!

Without waiting for Bai Zhou to respond, a deliberately raised voice sounded, mixed with unconcealable smugness.

The person who came was none other than the chairman of Hongxiang Group, Lu Youcai!

Lu Youcai walked over with a radiant smile and stood in front of the two of them. He looked at them and smiled. The bidding today was so intense. Ive been on tenterhooks.

Lu Youcai was not lying. He only felt relieved when his company advanced.

When Chen Lei heard this, he naturally had to smile and congratulate him. Congratulations, Brother Lu. Youve finally entered the final bidding.

Thank you for letting me win. Lu Youcai smiled and nodded.

Bai Zhou smiled but said nothing. Lu Youcai had a smug look on his face and could not enter Bai Zhous eyes. Moreover, he rarely interacted with him. At the Hongxiang Anniversary c.o.c.ktail party, only Jian Ai went.

However, Lu Youcai greeted Bai Zhou. Manager Bai, Ive heard a lot about you. Nice to meet you.

Chairman Lu, nice to meet you, Bai Zhou answered softly.

Lu Youcai looked around and asked curiously, Eh? Why isnt Manager Jian here on such an important day?

Lu Youcai initially wanted to show off in front of Jian Ai and let her know that the older the ginger, the spicier it was. He did not expect Jian Ai to not come.

Bai Zhou smiled and nodded. The CEO went abroad for work and is not in the country now.

Oh Lu Youcai dragged his words and nodded thoughtfully.

However, Bai Zhou didnt give him a chance to speak. He nodded and gestured. Please get busy. I still have something on in my company, so Ill take my leave first.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zhou turned around and quickly entered the elevator.

On the way back, Bai Zhou calculated the jet lag. He had a premonition that Jian Ai was still awake, so he called her.

What was the result?

As soon as the call went through, Jian Ai blurted out.

Bai Zhou did not expect her to pick it up so quickly and was slightly stunned. Youre not asleep, right?

Of course not. Im waiting for the results, Jian Ai said.

Although Jian Ai could accept the results, she naturally hoped to enter the next round.

Sorry, we couldnt get into the last round, Bai Zhou said gently.

On the other end of the phone, Jian Ai raised her eyebrows in understanding. Because she was mentally prepared, she felt relieved the next moment. I understand. Its expected.

Even if they were well-prepared, the companys weakness was irreversible. There was no choice.

Dont think too much about it. The most important thing is partic.i.p.ation. Its already very amazing that we reached the second round, Jian Ai comforted him, afraid that Bai Zhou would blame himself.

I understand. Rest early. Ill hang up first, Bai Zhou said.

They published the results of the second round of bidding in the news media and the financial evening newspapers that night. Due to this result, the Jian Group and Hongxiang Groups shares soared overnight. The Jian Groups shares also soared by almost two percentage points, and their market value increased.

When Old Master Jian learned of the results, he couldnt stop smiling.

Once the Jian Group won this project, it would stabilize their position as the leader of Baiyun Citys real estate industry. They would also be further away from the other real estate corporations and become the true overlord of Baiyun Citys real estate.
