Li Xiulan

This afternoon, Huo Guoqiang summoned Wang Erhai and Wu Moli to his office, saying they would go to the city together tomorrow to meet a real estate boss.

That boss was named Zhang Tianhe, one of Qingyuan City's local developers; the Tianhe Real Estate Development Company he controlled wasn't the largest in Qingyuan City, but it could still barely squeeze into the top ten!

Huo Guoqiang had gotten to know Zhang Tianhe through his original building materials company.

This meeting with Zhang Tianhe was mainly to secure the renovation business for the property projects developed by Tianhe Real Estate Development Company!

"General Manager Huo, should we bring the Public Relations Department along?"

Wu Moli asked this one sentence.

Huo Guoqiang laughed: "Of course we bring them; we established the Public Relations Department precisely so it could be used at times like this, right?"

Wang Erhai then said:

"General Manager Huo, if our Public Relations Department directly presents itself to the outside as the Public Relations Department, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"

Huo Guoqiang nodded:

"That is indeed a bit too blunt!"

Then he thought for a moment and said:

"Then let's take a page from Evergrande's operating model; we'll publicly claim that PR team is our Liguo Mountain Company's Image Promotion Song and Dance Troupe!"

Wu Moli nodded:

"Alright, I'll handle it just as General Manager Huo says, and give the sisters over there a heads-up!"

Wu Moli returned to the Public Relations Department and immediately told the people below: "From now on we're not called the Public Relations Department anymore, but the Company Image Promotion Song and Dance Troupe! Tomorrow General Manager Huo is taking everyone to the city to meet a boss; nobody is to say they're from the Public Relations Department anymore, understood?"

"Understood!"

The whole group of sisters answered in unison.

Wu Moli spoke again:

"Everyone go back and prepare; assemble in a bit, we're pulling an all-night rehearsal for a dance tonight, it might come in handy tomorrow; anyone who doesn't want to stay up all night can voluntarily withdraw, but don't blame me for not warning you in advance — whoever withdraws is automatically giving up a golden opportunity to get close to a big boss!"

Not a single sister voluntarily withdrew; actually, even without Wu Moli saying it, they knew this was a rare good opportunity for them!

As long as they caught the eye of those big bosses in the real estate industry, they wouldn't have to worry about money for the rest of their lives.

After everyone else dispersed, Zhao Xingfang came up to Wu Moli and asked in a low voice:

"General Manager Wu, we're going to the city to work tomorrow; do I still need to do public relations on General Manager Wang?"

Wu Moli said:

"Of course! Tomorrow General Manager Wang will definitely drink quite a lot; that's your chance. I'll say the same thing as before: if you can land General Manager Wang within a week, I'll promote you to Group Leader!"

Zhao Xingfang said:

"Fine, then I'll strive for it!"

In the blink of an eye the next day arrived.

Huo Guoqiang, bringing Wang Erhai, Wu Moli, his nephew Huo Zhihui, plus the newly formed Song and Dance Troupe of Liguo Mountain, all headed for the city together!

At the Beijiang Grand Hotel in the city, they met with the group of executives from Tianhe Real Estate led by Zhang Tianhe.

Then in the hotel, everyone ate and held an informal negotiation session at the same time.

The dishes had just been served in full when Zhang Tianhe bluntly voiced his concern without reservation:

"General Manager Huo, our Tianhe Real Estate gets its building materials from your building materials company; if the renovation business also goes to your renovation company, wouldn't the risk be too great?"

Zhang Tianhe's meaning was that having too single a partner makes it easy to be strangled at the throat; he was asking Huo Guoqiang to show sincerity — without sincerity this cooperation naturally couldn't be concluded.

At equal prices, Tianhe Real Estate would definitely hire a different renovation company instead; after all, concentrating both the building materials business and the renovation business in two companies owned by the same person really carries excessive risk!

You can't put all your eggs in one basket — that's the most basic common sense of doing business!

Huo Guoqiang had long anticipated Zhang Tianhe would have this worry, so he had already prepared a solution.

So he replied with a smile:

"General Manager Zhang, please rest assured; we will sign a contract entirely favorable to your company. If problems arise in the renovation business — such as schedule delays or quality issues — General Manager Zhang can hold our Liguo Mountain Renovation Company accountable per the contract terms! Moreover, an even more important point: we can quote you 10% below market price, which can greatly reduce your company's expenditure on premium renovation projects!"

Zhang Tianhe was stunned:

"With market competition so fierce these days, large renovation companies' profits may not even reach 10%; if you quote 10% below market, how do you still make money?"

Huo Guoqiang just laughed: "To be frank, we don't intend to make money."

A secretary beside Zhang Tianhe couldn't help muttering:

"Not intending to make money, then why do business at all — are you doing charity?"

Zhang Tianhe immediately rebuked:

"Xiao Zhao, you have no place to speak here!"

Then he turned a smiling face to Huo Guoqiang:

"General Manager Huo, this secretary of mine lacks propriety and speaks without thinking; please forgive him!"

This isn't a lack of propriety at all — it's clearly one playing good cop, one playing bad cop.

Some words Zhang Tianhe couldn't conveniently say himself, so he had this secretary say them.

"No matter; what Secretary Zhao raised is also what everyone is concerned about. Doing business is certainly about making money, but we don't plan to make it from your company. Liguo Mountain's current mission is to rapidly expand scale, seize market share, follow the 'rural areas encircling the cities' route, optimize the data, with the ultimate goal of going public!"

Huo Guoqiang laid out his business plan.

He had very high expectations for Liguo Mountain Renovation Company!

Otherwise he wouldn't have invested so much manpower, material resources, and financial resources!

Zhang Tianhe heard this and smiled:

"General Manager Huo has quite the ambition, but this market share isn't so easy to seize. You're doing business at a loss — every additional house you renovate means another loss. With your current moneybag, how long can you sustain those losses?"

Speaking to this point, Zhang Tianhe paused, then said:

"Just afraid General Manager Huo's moneybag will hit bottom soon. When that happens, caught between a rock and a hard place, our Tianhe Real Estate's renovation business will get dragged down too, even left unfinished."

Huo Guoqiang understood Zhang Tianhe's worry. After all, Liguo Mountain wasn't some large listed company, and there was no capital giant backing it either. Taking steps too big — it's easy to pull a groin!

So he said:

"General Manager Zhang having this concern is perfectly normal. We can break the business down into small pieces — divide one housing project into many small blocks, sign contracts block by block. If any unfinished project or construction delay occurs, General Manager Zhang can immediately terminate cooperation with us. That way, even if our Liguo Mountain ultimately goes bankrupt, for General Manager Zhang, there won't be much influence at all!"

Zhang Tianhe heard this and felt Huo Guoqiang had indeed shown no small sincerity, so his face revealed satisfaction, and he slowly nodded.

"General Manager Huo, then let's wish for a pleasant cooperation!"
