Chapter 2233 Change

Money, before you actually see the cash, is sometimes just a set of numbers.

Especially for gamblers who love to gamble, this is even more true.

By the same token, in Zhao Fusheng's eyes, the ultimate purpose of any business is to make money. And before a deal is reached, the business requires investment.

The amount of investment determines the profit margin of the business.

According to Wang Kai's recent remarks, the profit from the Wangjing plot would not be low. If Future Real Estate acquired the land and developed it into a commercial center, it could generate profits for many years.

Little did he know, such an outcome would be sufficient.

For Zhao Fusheng, what mattered was not immediate gains but long-term benefits.

Even if he were no longer around, having this land in hand would at least ensure his family's衣食无忧.

That was what Zhao Fusheng needed to consider.

"Let's leave it at that."

After raising the paddle, Zhao Fusheng waved his hand somewhat listlessly and said to Wang Kai and the others, "You handle the rest."

"Yes, Chairman."

Wang Kai and the others naturally nodded quickly.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said, "Don't worry about the money. If you need funds, communicate directly with Future Investment. I've already spoken with President Dong."

Wang Kai was overjoyed and naturally understood Zhao Fusheng's meaning.

It seemed the group was officially beginning to support Future Real Estate.

Zhao Fusheng nodded and turned to walk out.

"Wait!"

At that moment, Pan Ren hurried over and blocked Zhao Fusheng's path.

"Something wrong?"

Zhao Fusheng frowned slightly, waved his hand to stop the bodyguards behind him, and asked Pan Ren, "Is there something?"

"May I ask, what is your name?"

Pan Ren suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Zhao Fusheng word by word.

Clearly, he was not convinced by his loss.

Zhao Fusheng chuckled but didn't intend to get angry with him.

There was no helping it. Although they were only a few years apart in age, their statuses were worlds apart. Zhao Fusheng knew well that he really didn't need to stoop to the level of someone like Pan Ren.

"I said, Master Pan, give my regards to your father when you go back."

Zhao Fusheng shook his head, passed Pan Ren, and walked straight out.

Pan Ren stood dumbfounded, watching Zhao Fusheng's back, unable to utter a word.

He wasn't stupid; it was obvious the other party didn't take him seriously at all.

"You..."

He opened his mouth to say something but found he couldn't get a word out.

What could he say?

The other party was richer than him, could decide on a business deal worth billions, and held a high position within the Future Group.

Such a person was indeed not someone he could provoke.

...

...

"Chairman, why did you raise the bid just now?"

On the way back, Liu Yiming asked Zhao Fusheng in confusion.

He was telling the truth. Originally, he thought Zhao Fusheng would observe or give up when the bid exceeded four billion. Unexpectedly, Zhao Fusheng raised the price by so much at once.

"What, is it a bit strange?"

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said to Liu Yiming.

Liu Yiming nodded honestly: "I just don't quite understand."

Shaking his head gently, Zhao Fusheng said, "There's nothing incomprehensible. Actually, the responsibility lies with me. I didn't consider the current state of the real estate industry..."

With that, he explained his thoughts to Liu Yiming and finally laughed, "To be honest, I originally thought that investing a few hundred million or even over a billion in this industry would be enough."

Liu Yiming smiled, never expecting that the usually astute chairman could have such moments.

But thinking about it, it was normal. Every trade has its own expertise. Zhao Fusheng wasn't a god, so it was natural for him to be unfamiliar with the specifics of the real estate industry.

If Zhao Fusheng understood everything perfectly, that would be surprising.

The group soon returned to the city center.

Zhao Fusheng didn't go home but went directly to the company headquarters, asking Zheng Yao and Dong Chenxi to meet him separately.

Zheng Yao, being closer, arrived first.

"What's up? I heard you spent 4.2 billion to teach Pan Shiyi's son a lesson?"

Zheng Yao sat down and said to Zhao Fusheng with a smile.

Zhao Fusheng nodded, not surprised that she had learned the news so quickly.

It was a 4.2 billion deal; if Zheng Yao hadn't gotten the news so quickly, he would have doubted her competence.

"So, did that Master Pan offend you?"

Zheng Yao asked curiously.

Given Zhao Fusheng's temperament, using money to directly crush the other party like this clearly showed he had made up his mind.

Based on her understanding of Zhao Fusheng, even if the other party had bid 5 billion today, Zhao Fusheng would still have outbid Pan Ren by ten million.

This was a conclusion Zheng Yao had drawn from years of observation.

That was, sometimes when Zhao Fusheng's temper flared, he really got carried away.

Zhao Fusheng shook his head: "It's not that Pan Ren offended me; it's that my previous understanding of the real estate market was flawed."

Hmm?

Zheng Yao raised an eyebrow, looking at Zhao Fusheng in surprise.

She really hadn't expected Zhao Fusheng to say that.

To be honest, Zheng Yao and the others had had some complaints about Zhao Fusheng's laissez-faire attitude toward Future Real Estate, but since he rarely changed his mind once decided, and no one knew how to persuade him, they just let it be.

But no one expected that after just one land auction, Zhao Fusheng would change his mind.

That was interesting.

"What, surprised?"

Zhao Fusheng saw Zheng Yao's expression and laughed.

Zheng Yao nodded: "Not just surprised; I really didn't expect you to change your mind."

Zhao Fusheng naturally understood what she meant, but a mistake was a mistake, and he wasn't the type to stubbornly refuse to admit it.

Waving his hand, Zhao Fusheng began to lay out plans.

"First, appoint Wang Kai as the general manager of Future Real Estate. You continue to look for professional managers in the real estate industry to strengthen Future Real Estate's management. Also, allow Future Real Estate to use the land it holds as collateral for bank loans and consider the issue of listing for financing."

Zhao Fusheng looked at Zheng Yao and slowly uttered words that surprised her greatly.

Zheng Yao took a deep breath and sat up straight. At that moment, she finally realized that Zhao Fusheng might indeed be planning to restructure Future Real Estate.

No, not just restructuring; it was very likely that Zhao Fusheng intended to use the right approach to put Future Real Estate on the right track.
