Chapter 250 Let's find a place to have a good get-together
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Wei Hao's eyes, and he quickly said:
"Oh my, that's wonderful! We have a batch of land going up for auction this week, you guys are incredibly lucky!"
After saying that, he raised his hand to glance at the exquisite watch on his wrist, and then continued:
"But I have to go back to the company to take care of some things now. Let's find a place to get together properly tonight."
At this moment, Zhao Yuan asked:
"Ninth Brother, how much time do you guys usually have to rest at noon?"
Wei Hao answered without hesitation:
"There is probably a 2-hour lunch break."
“Jiefang, look, it’s lunchtime already! Let’s go to that restaurant across the street for lunch. After all, we need to eat! Ninth Brother has something to take care of first, so we’ll wait for him at the restaurant across the street. You old classmates can also take this opportunity to catch up. We can continue our get-together in the evening.”
Zhao Yuan said with a smile and great enthusiasm.
"Hmm, that's a great idea! It's settled then, Ninth Brother. We'll go to the restaurant across the street to order first. You can just come over after work, we'll be waiting for you there."
Zhou Jiefang nodded in agreement with a happy expression.
"Alright, I'll head over to the department now and take care of some work-related matters. Remember, this meal is on me!"
As he spoke, Ninth Brother Wei Hao strode toward the government building.
"Okay, no problem! We'll be waiting for you at the Honghonghuohuo Hotel across the street, Ninth Brother."
Zhou Jiefang responded cheerfully, then invited everyone to get into the car and slowly drove it to a stop in front of the Honghonghuohuo Hotel not far away.
The four of them got out of the car and strolled leisurely into the hotel.
Upon entering the hotel lobby, they went straight to the front desk and requested a quiet and comfortable private room.
Soon, led by the waiter, the four arrived at the designated private room. Zhou Jiefang skillfully ordered a sumptuous meal and then quickly paid the bill.
Everyone sat down and chatted, and time passed by minute by minute. Before they knew it, it was past noon.
Just then, Ninth Brother Wei Hao appeared at the door of the private room on time. He walked in with a smile on his face and looking very energetic.
"Ninth Brother, come on, please sit here!"
Zhou Jiefang stood up enthusiastically and gestured for Ninth Brother Wei Hao to sit down next to him.
At the same time, he also turned to the waiter next to him to signal that the dishes could be served.
Before long, one delicious dish after another, with its perfect color, aroma, and flavor, was served on the table.
The entire private room was immediately filled with an enticing aroma, making one's mouth water.
Everyone sat around the dining table, enjoying the food and chatting happily.
At first, Zhou Jiefang and Ninth Brother Wei Hao exchanged pleasantries for a while, reminiscing about interesting things from their student days, and bursting into hearty laughter from time to time.
After a few drinks, the atmosphere became increasingly harmonious and lively.
Before we knew it, the conversation had shifted to the upcoming land auction.
Wei Hao lowered his voice slightly and said:
"The government is releasing quite a lot of land this time, so if you're interested in bidding, you'd better hurry up and register. Of course, the competition this time is expected to be fierce."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan's previously calm eyes instantly lit up, and he eagerly asked:
"Ninth Brother, could you give us a little more inside information? For example, how many companies have already registered for this auction?"
After pondering for a moment, Wei Hao slowly answered:
"So far, two companies have officially registered. However, since the registration deadline has not yet passed, it is not yet possible to determine how many companies will participate in the bidding on the day of the auction."
After saying this, Wei Hao raised his head and turned his gaze to Zhou Jiefang, who was sitting opposite him.
"Ninth Brother, do you know the approximate prices of the previous auctions? Can you find any relevant information?"
Zhao Yuan asked expectantly. Ninth Brother Wei Hao pondered for a moment before replying:
"Last year, during the first auction, a plot of land measuring approximately 9000 square meters was sold for over five million! And last month, a plot of land measuring [area in square meters] fetched a high price of 612 million. However, overall, the prices in these auctions haven't fluctuated too much; naturally, plots in slightly better locations will be more expensive."
After listening to Ninth Brother's introduction, Zhao Yuan immediately followed up with another question:
"Is the competitive pressure particularly intense right now?"
Ninth Brother Wei Hao smiled and replied:
"There are at least seven or eight companies participating in each auction."
Upon hearing this number, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but frown.
After a brief pause, he spoke again:
"We're new to Shenzhen this time, and we sincerely want to ask Brother Jiu for advice on how to acquire a piece of land that satisfies us at the lowest possible price. You're an expert in this field, so we'd really appreciate your guidance. Let's raise a glass to you in advance!"
As he spoke, Zhao Yuan quickly picked up his wine glass and stood up.
Seeing Zhao Yuan's sincerity, Wei Hao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile:
"Haha, there is a way. Actually, you could consider teaming up with other bidders to place a bid. I happen to know a few friends who are also quite interested in this. If you can work together, the bid price will be lower, and the chances of success might be greatly increased!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan and Zhou Jiefang exchanged a quick glance, and a glimmer of hope instantly ignited in their eyes.
"I'll have to ask Ninth Brother to help me make the connection! How about we get together for dinner tonight and discuss this matter in detail?"
Zhou Jiefang said with a sincere expression.
“Sure, no problem! I’ll call them later and we can meet at Juyuan Hotel tonight. I’ll reserve the private room.”
Ninth Brother Wei Hao readily agreed.
"That's wonderful! It's settled then, thank you so much, Ninth Brother! I won't say anything more, all my gratitude is in this glass of wine!"
As Zhou Jiefang spoke, he stood up, raised his wine glass with both hands, and toasted Ninth Brother.
After a sumptuous meal, everyone was full and satisfied.
So, after saying goodbye to each other, everyone temporarily went their separate ways.
