Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 584

After some twists and turns, He Yuzhu and his team finally arrived at the conference room of the International Hotel.

When they opened the door, the scene inside surprised them.

Soft lights poured down, illuminating the entire conference room and shining brightly on everyone's faces which were slightly flushed with excitement. Everyone's face was filled with irrepressible joy, and laughter and joy intertwined into one.

He Yuzhu's eyes quickly swept through the crowd and soon noticed a strange figure - a Portuguese man.

This man is tall and straight, like a pine tree. The straight suit fits his body well, making him look more capable.

There was a shrewd look in his deep eyes as he calmly surveyed everything around him. His every move exuded the calm and steady aura of someone who had been in the business world for a long time.

At this time, He Hongshen came up quickly with a smile on his face, his eyes sparkling with excitement, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Mr. He, I really don't know how to thank you! This time we were able to successfully find Mr. Lubadu, all thanks to your mediation and great help. Our He family is grateful!"

His tone was almost cheering, and every word was filled with deep gratitude and joy. As he spoke, he held He Yuzhu's hand tightly and shook it vigorously.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu sat on the textured leather chair, tapping the table unconsciously with his fingers, frowning slightly, staring at the person opposite him, and asked, "So, does this mean that we can start drafting the bid now?"

His tone was steady, and every word seemed to be uttered after careful consideration. However, his slightly leaning forward body and his eyes revealed his eagerness to move forward, which exposed his true thoughts.

“The relevant documents are currently being drafted.”

The person who answered stood straight with a firm tone, holding a document in his hand. The dense handwriting on it seemed to indicate the busyness behind the scenes. It seemed that everything was going on in an orderly manner.

After listening to this, He Yuzhu leaned back slightly, thinking quickly about the next steps in his mind, and then asked, "So is there a person named Gao Ke Nian on that ship?"

There was a sharp flash in his eyes, and he was extremely concerned about the whereabouts of the key figure. After all, whether Gao Ke-ning appeared or not might have unpredictable impacts on the entire plan.

Hearing this, He Hong sighed deeply, her face full of helplessness and resentment, and she slowly said, "Alas, what a pity! We searched the ship thoroughly, but didn't see any trace of Gao Ke-ning at all. It seems that he really took advantage of us this time and got a great advantage for nothing."

There was a mixture of regret and unwillingness in his words, and every word seemed to carry a heavy sigh.

You have to know what a fierce exchange of fire there was on that ship, with bullets flying and flames splashing.

If Gao Ke Ning had also been on that ship at the time, with his frail body, he would have been shot to pieces in the hail of bullets, and would have died a horrible death.

However, He Yuzhu was not surprised at all by this result.

He thought to himself that if he were in Gao Ke's situation, he would never leave such an important hostage, Lubadu, by his side so carelessly.

Isn't it obvious that he is announcing to the world that he is the culprit who kidnapped Lubadu?

It's absolutely stupid. Anyone with a little bit of common sense would not make such a low-level mistake.

Therefore, Gao Kengning can now easily shirk responsibility, deny all responsibility for anything, and just want to clean up this mess.

However, He Yuzhu did not think about confronting the other party face to face and arguing with them immediately.

As a powerful warrior, he has been immersed in martial arts since childhood. In the sharpening of swords and sabers, he naturally has his own unique and calm ways and methods to deal with these difficult problems.

First, he was assassinated without any warning. It was a dark and windy night. The assassin sneaked in like a ghost. With a flash of cold light and a sharp blade, he went straight to his throat. He narrowly avoided the line between life and death.

But who could have expected that such dangerous situations would occur one after another like a ghost. The second time, on a busy street, a dart was shot at me from hidden in the noisy crowd. I narrowly avoided being hit.

This is an intolerable and unforgivable act.

Even if the other party is a high-ranking official with great power.

But He Yuzhu had a stubborn spirit in his bones and a burning rage in his heart like an erupting volcano. He was determined to use his own strategy and force to find ways to pull him down from his high position and make him pay a heavy price for his actions.

During those seemingly calm but undercurrent days, various forces were secretly competing and making plans in Hong Kong's business landscape.

Over the past few months, from the secret integration of personal connections, to the precise laying of capital chains, to the quiet establishment of key decision-making layers, all preparations have been carried out step by step, like a carefully calibrated precision instrument, with each gear in place and everything ready, only the last bit of key opportunity or help that can leverage the overall situation is missing.

Once the time is ripe, all subsequent plans will be implemented steadily and orderly like triggered dominoes.

Not long ago, a brand-new group came into being in this turbulent land. It was officially named Australia City Entertainment Company. It was like a heavy stone thrown into the business world, which immediately disturbed the original tranquility and attracted attention from all parties. Everyone knew that this would be an emerging force that could not be ignored, and its appearance also foreshadowed that a more intense business storm was about to begin.

In this company that carries many expectations and ambitions and seems to be about to set sail into the deep sea of ​​commerce, the appearance of Yip Deli is like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.

Ye Deli has been active in the business world for many years and is adept at maneuvering in the complex network of personal connections. With his extensive and deep personal connections and rich experience that is as rich as a thick book of business history, he was unanimously elected as the chairman.

His sharp eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky, always sparkle with wisdom. He closely observes the changes in the business world and accurately guides the direction of the company's giant ship to avoid reefs and dangerous shoals.

Fok Ying-tung and Yip Hon also occupy important positions in the company. Both of them serve as managing directors with their extraordinary business talents and deep roots in the industry.

At that time, Huo Yingdong had already caused great waves in the real estate field. Many large-scale projects he developed became shining landmark buildings in the city. In the shipping field, his fleet shuttled between the oceans, building a huge logistics and transportation map, and had already made a name for himself.

He is bold and decisive when making decisions, never procrastinating, and his keen market insight seems to be able to penetrate layers of fog and accurately capture business opportunities, which is admired by everyone.

Ye Han is a legend in the gaming industry. He has been in the casino business for many years and has gone through countless business wars. He has unique and sophisticated insights into every aspect of casino operations, from the flow of chips to personnel management, from the layout of gambling tables to marketing strategies. He is a senior veteran in the industry and his every word and action can cause shock and attention in the industry.

As for He Hongshen, as an important shareholder representative and gambling license holder, he officially took office as managing director under the attention of everyone.

The company was at a critical juncture at that time and needed a lot of work to be done. He shouldered the heavy burden of managing all the company's specific businesses, and his daily schedule was fully packed.

In the early morning, before the first ray of sunlight completely dispelled the coolness of the night, he was already sitting in the office, reviewing piles of documents and making plans for the day's work.

During the day, I shuttled between various meeting rooms, discussed business details in depth with heads of different departments, and coordinated resources from all parties.

At night, when the city lights are shining brightly, he is still on the phone with his partners, skillfully dealing with various complex matters.

With his rigorous and almost harsh work attitude, he repeatedly considers every data and every decision, as well as his admirable organizational and coordination skills. He is like a skilled helmsman, leading the company's big ship to break through the waves in the business world, allowing the company's operations to gradually get on track. From the initial chaos, it gradually became orderly, and various businesses began to enter a track of healthy development.

It is worth mentioning that in the entire complex and delicate incident, He Yuzhu only lent 100 million in cash.

Strictly speaking, this behavior only falls under the category of fund borrowing.

At that time, Australia City Entertainment Company was in the early stages of preparation, and its capital chain was like a candle in the wind, shaky and on the verge of collapse.

He Yuzhu's funds were drawn from his savings that he had accumulated over many years of hard work. Every penny of it embodied the hard work he had put in over the years in the business world.

In the equity structure of Australia City Entertainment, He Yuzhu does not have even a penny of shares.

He did not participate in any equity distribution negotiations and had no intention of seeking a place in the company's future equity structure.

However, the financial support he provided was like a timely rain after a long drought, falling precisely on the dry land of Australia City Entertainment Company at the critical moment.

The money was quickly invested in various preparatory matters such as the company's site leasing, equipment procurement, and personnel recruitment, injecting indispensable impetus into the company's preparation and development, allowing projects that were on the verge of stagnation to move forward steadily.

Next, everyone faced the task of preparing the bid, which was crucial to success, extremely important and challenging.

This time, the Haojiang government took a unique approach and changed the conventional bidding method. It clearly stipulated that a blind bidding method would be used to determine the winning bidder.

The blind bidding method requires all participants to carefully prepare and submit their bids without knowing their opponents' bids. Only the one with the highest bid will win the project and achieve ultimate victory.

The setting of this rule has undoubtedly cast a thick veil over the already fierce competition, adding a lot of uncertainty and mystery.

At the same time, the government also solemnly announced the latest reserve price - a full 300 million yuan!

This number is like a towering threshold, standing in front of all participants.

It means that from this moment on, everyone must start with 300 million, and keep raising the price in a battlefield where the opponent is invisible. Through the investment of real money, they can demonstrate their strong strength and firm determination to win.

However, things are far from being as simple as they seem.

In the complex chess game of bidding for gaming licenses, price is a key "chess piece" but it is not the only consideration.

If new companies want to enter the market, in addition to being careful with prices, they also need to shoulder the heavy banner of social responsibility.

This requirement, like a clear mirror hanging high, aims to urge the gaming industry to give back to society during its vigorous development, help the local economy take off, stabilize social order, and achieve all-round prosperity and long-term stability.

However, it is precisely on these core issues that all parties seem to be in a fog, with numerous differences and it is difficult to find the dawn of consensus.

Let’s first look at the price game. The team members seem to be standing at a crossroads, each with their own opinions.

The conservatives adhere to the principle of prudence and advocate using reasonable bids as an anchor to avoid being bogged down in risk due to excessive costs. It is like carefully controlling the course in the turbulent business sea and striving to move forward steadily.

The radicals, with their heroic spirit of burning their boats, believe that in this fierce competition, only by boldly raising prices and showing determination with thundering force can they stand out from the many competitors. They are like warriors who are risking everything and trying to carve out a bloody path with their bravery and fearlessness.

Both sides argued back and forth, each with their own reasons, but they were unable to reach a unified consensus on pricing strategy.

Discussing the extent of social responsibility is like being stuck in a tangled mess that is difficult to sort out.

The proactive group has a long-term vision and proposes that the company donate generously and invest more resources in public welfare, community building, etc., hoping to establish a good corporate image, win reputation and respect on the big stage of society, and lay a solid foundation for the company's long-term development.

Conservatives, on the other hand, are worried that excessive investment in social responsibility will be like a sharp knife, ruthlessly squeezing a company's profit margins, affecting future financial reserves for business expansion and innovative development, and hindering the company's progress.

The stalemate between the two views has caused the license bidding process, which seemed to be proceeding step by step and steadily, to suddenly become foggy and full of variables, and every step forward seems more and more confusing.

The bidding was conducted in a blind bidding format, and all parties were kept in the dark and had no idea about the conditions proposed by their opponents.

This rule has undoubtedly plunged the competition into an unprecedented fog.

For the companies involved, bidding strategy becomes the key to determining their fate.

If you bid too low, you will undoubtedly lose in this fierce competition and watch the precious development opportunities slip through your fingers.
