Chapter Sixteen: Life and Death
Two days later, the county bureau received the reward.
Three days later, the design drawings that Zhang Xiaoying agreed to were also delivered to Wang Liu's house as scheduled.
During this period, he also rented a base shop in the south of the city to serve as a place for office, and directly opposite the land where he won the bid.
Wang Liu and Wang Zhixin also bought a set of clothes and were about to fool people. It would be impossible to have no decent clothes.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is not available.
...
County newspaper.
Wang Liu and Wang Zhixin came together, wearing the newly purchased outfit, and told him that they were here to advertise. They were immediately warmly received by editor-in-chief Hu Weiming.
Wang Liu said straight to the point: "Editor Hu, I have learned about the advertising prices of your newspaper. You don't need to introduce them. I just want to invest in one and a half-page advertisements. But before that, I have to understand what the circulation of your company covers? What are the specific ordering units?"
Hu Weiming smiled and said, "You can rest assured about this. Although we are a county newspaper, our units are affiliated with the city newspaper and are issued throughout the city. In terms of sales, part of them is subscribed by various agencies and units, and the other part is retail sales at newsstands, and the circulation is still considerable."
The city issuance and the government subscribes, and these two are enough.
Most of the construction companies at present are mainly state-owned enterprises and public institutions. The city dare not say that, but the construction companies in the county should be within the subscription scope of the county newspaper.
The Internet has not yet emerged, and newspapers are still one of the main ways to understand news. If you publish bidding advertisements, you will not worry about no one seeing them.
"Then there is no problem. I will submit an advertisement for one and a half edition, and I ask for two points. First, publish it as soon as possible, and second, post it according to what I wrote." Wang Liu handed over the draft he wrote.
Advertising is the main channel for newspapers to generate revenue. In order to increase revenue, newspapers will basically find ways to recruit advertisements. It can be said that as long as it is not reactionary remarks, it can be basically sent to pay. Wang Liu is not worried that he will not agree.
Sure enough, Hu Weiming lowered his head and glanced at him, and immediately said, "No problem, just follow what you wrote and will be published tomorrow."
...
After leaving the newspaper, Wang Liu took out the bidding documents he had written in the past two days and threw them to Wang Zhixin and said, "Go to find a printing shop and ask him to copy the contents on the computer, and then print them out on A4 paper, and count them in ten copies. Don't miss any pictures."
Wang Zhixin looked through and said, "What is this? Why are you printing it?"
Wang Liu casually said: "Sell it for money."
Wang Zhixin grinned: "Your word is ugly than a dog crawling. I'm afraid that it will be disgusting to the point of being ass. You still want to sell this thing?"
Wang Liu glared at him and said angrily: "You are blind, are you blind as others? You have printed it, and there are so many nonsense."
Remember it for me. From tomorrow on, you will go to the Chengnan store and sit there. If someone asks you for a bidding document, you can sell it to him. One copy is 200 yuan, not a cent less. Remember it or not."
Wang Zhixin curled his lips and said, "Remember, remember, I want to see who would buy this thing when he is blind."
...
In 1998, for the domestic real estate industry, it was almost a world of life and death.
Since the real estate regulation in 1993, the domestic housing market has fallen into a slump, and in 1997 it encountered the Asian financial crisis, which has made it even worse. Many developers have been unable to hold on until the first half of 1998, either went bankrupt, or reselled their projects or plots at a low price, cutting their losses and leaving the market.
However, when the second half of the year entered, the situation suddenly changed. Welfare housing distribution was cancelled, personal housing loans were introduced, and two policies were issued one after another, with great prospects, and many real estate companies began to revive.
This is true for developers, and the complementary construction companies are naturally no exception, especially small companies at the county and municipal levels.
Qiu Wanliang, the boss of Qingshan County Construction Company, felt deeply about this. Although he is a county-owned institution, he has long been responsible for his own profits and losses. The real estate industry is in a downturn. His construction company has also been hit. After a few years, he has not made any major projects. He just relied on pieces in the county and occasionally took on some small jobs to survive.
The treatment was not good and the ability was not implemented. Qiu Wanliang was always a little depressed and unsuccessful. It was not until the two policies were introduced that he suddenly saw hope. Judging from his years of experience in working, the real estate industry is about to take off.
From then on, he developed the habit of reading newspapers every day to learn about relevant information and searching for engineering projects. Unfortunately, the policy was just introduced and there was not much improvement at the moment, and he had never gained much.
Today, as usual, he read the newspaper again. Unexpectedly, he still found nothing in the city newspaper, but suddenly his eyes lit up in the county newspaper.
"There is a project of our company's Jinxiu Garden to be developed soon. We plan to select and hire a construction contractor through public bidding. The relevant matters are now announced as follows:
The project is residential real estate, located in the east of Renmin Road and south of Ping'an Road, with a planned construction area of about 16,500 square meters. The winning principle is the lowest bidder who wins the bid.
Interested bidders are advised to go to Hongxing Real Estate Store in Renmin Road, Qingshan County to request bidding documents within three days from the date of release of this announcement..."
Qiu Wanliang became more and more excited the more he looked at it. How long has it been since he had seen such a large project? The construction area is 16,500 square meters, and the construction cost is nearly one million. If he could go ahead, even if the bidding would lower the offer, he would still make a profit.
But...Hongxing Real Estate? When did there be such a company in the county?
He thought about it hard, but still had no impression, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He was in the county, so he could tell if he went over and took a look.
...
Jinxiu Garden is the name of the project that Wang Liu gave him, and Hongxing Real Estate is the name of the store that he rented.
Wang Zhixin arrived in the store early in the morning. He thought no one would care about it, so he was ready to sit on the bench and then mocked Wang Liu for his preparation. Unexpectedly, there were people coming, and there were quite a few people.
When Qiu Wanliang came here, several groups of people had already come to the store, two of whom he knew were the boss of another construction company in the county, and the other was a colleague in the city.
There are a lot of competitors, and it’s a bit difficult to deal with now... Qiu Wanliang felt a little nervous and did not speak rashly. He stood on the edge, intending to wait and see what the situation is now.
"You made the bidding announcement in the newspaper?"
"The construction party should be selected for the Jinxiu Garden project?"
"Are you a newly established company? I have never heard of a developer like you in the county before."
"Can we take out the business license and let us see?"
Several bosses asked each other. Wang Zhixin heard one by one and two big ones. When he saw Wang Liu entering the door, he quickly changed his firepower and said, "The boss is here. If you have anything to say, please ask him."
Everyone turned around and frowned when they saw Wang Liu. Is this person really the boss? He looks a little young.
Qiu Wanliang looked thoughtful. He always felt that the man looked familiar and hesitated: "Are you the boss? Are we there... Newspaper, by the way, I have read you in the newspaper. The murder case that just cracked in the county was caught by you, right?"
He suddenly thought about it and said happily: "The newspaper said that Secretary Yu has visited you and praised you as a righteous young man, who is brave enough to act bravely and advance bravely. Is that true?"
Now some of the others suddenly felt that their previous doubts had slightly diminished. The righteous young man who was brave enough to do justice was praised by the secretary himself. Such people should not be liars, right?
Even if I know now that he is from the county, his family is in the county, even if he runs away from the monk, he can't run away from the temple.
Wang Liu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his buddy's glorious deeds had been so widely praised?
He smiled and nodded and said, "It was me. I just happened to meet him and did something I should do. Secretary Yu was too proud.
Everyone has seen the announcement and wants to come to bid? There may be someone else coming in the future, so I won’t explain it one by one here.
The project planning, design drawings, and construction requirements are all in the bid documents. If you are interested, you can take them back and take a closer look. At 2 pm the day after tomorrow, I will do a Q&A meeting here. If you have any questions, you can come and ask them at that time, and I will explain them in detail."
Speaking of this, the others didn't ask much, and each paid for a bidding document and left one after another.
