Chapter 2054 This is interesting.
Two days later.
As usual, Pi Yangyang stayed in Su Xueqing's office, casually flipping through some news articles.
Lan Bowen arrived, looking at Pi Yangyang with a hint of disbelief on his face.
Pi Yangyang knew that he had gone to the Xingyi project site to submit his bidding qualifications today. Seeing his strange expression, he couldn't help but ask, "President Lan, what problem did you encounter?"
Lan Bowen shook his head and said, "No, the information has already been submitted, there won't be any problems. However..."
Seeing that he seemed hesitant to speak, Su Xueqing looked over curiously and asked, "But what?"
Lan Bowen said, "When I went to the project site, I ran into an old acquaintance who was also submitting his bidding qualifications..."
Pi Yangyang put down his phone, looked at Lan Bowen, and uttered a single word: "Who?"
"Bai Zheteng!" Lan Bowen clearly still found it hard to believe when he said those three words.
Pi Yangyang and Su Xueqing were taken aback. They exchanged a glance and exclaimed at the same time, "Bai Zheteng?"
“Yes, it’s Bai Zheteng, the fallen head of the Bai family in the capital!” Lan Bowen nodded in confirmation. “When I saw him today, he was full of vigor and looked like he was determined to succeed.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Pi Yangyang's eyes.
He was well aware of the current situation regarding the Bai family.
Ever since Tang Kexin stole the fake Dragon Pill formula, the Bai family has fallen into an abyss and rapidly declined.
Especially after the business war between the Zhao and Qi families, the Bai family withdrew from the elite circles of Beijing at lightning speed, and could no longer even be considered a fifth-tier family.
Long San's pressure on the Bai family to repay the loan forced Bai Zheteng to sell off and mortgage all of the Bai family's valuable assets, leaving the once-great Bai Group as nothing more than an empty shell.
Although the Bai family eventually retained the Shengshi Baidai Real Estate Development Company, they were unable to acquire any decent projects after the business war ended.
First, the Bai family lacked start-up capital, so even if they had projects, they were unable to implement them.
Secondly, after that business battle, everyone knew that the Bai family had offended Pi Yangyang, and everyone kept their distance from the Bai family. The Bai family had no way of getting projects.
But now the Bai family has suddenly reappeared, and they are actually preparing to bid for the Xingyi Industrial Park project.
That's a project worth trillions of dollars. Where does the Bai family get the confidence and funds to participate in such a project?
Pi Yangyang and Su Xueqing were both shocked, and it's no wonder that Lan Bowen looked completely incredulous from the moment he entered.
"Is this Bai Zheteng related to the Bai family of Xingyi?"
Pi Yangyang suddenly remembered something and asked with some surprise.
"Bai Zheteng is not a local. His family moved from Zhejiang Province and should not have any relation to the Bai family of Xingyi."
Lan Bowen had clearly investigated Bai Zheteng and shook his head in denial without hesitation.
Pi Yangyang's eyes flickered, and a playful smile appeared on his lips. "This is interesting."
Lan Bowen looked at Pi Yangyang with a puzzled expression. "Interesting?"
"Hmm, I've considered many possibilities, but I never expected Bai Zheteng to appear. It seems I underestimated the Bai family before."
Pi Yangyang said.
Then he asked, "Are you aware of which other companies have submitted their qualifications?"
Lan Bowen thought for a moment and said, "Besides the Bai family and ourselves, there are three other companies that I know of: Hairun Real Estate, Longjiang Development Holdings, and Lihua Real Estate Group."
Upon hearing these company names, Su Xueqing couldn't help but frown slightly. "Hairun Real Estate, Longjiang Development, and Lihua Real Estate... These three companies are all top-tier real estate developers in China, each a behemoth. Lihua Real Estate, in particular, is far ahead... It will indeed be difficult for us to compete with them."
Lan Bowen nodded and said, "These three companies are indeed very powerful and professional real estate developers with an excellent reputation in the industry. Compared to them, our company certainly doesn't have a competitive advantage..."
As they talked, they both looked at Pi Yangyang at the same time.
Pi Yangyang remained calm throughout, speaking slowly and deliberately: "As expected. There are definitely a lot of people eyeing this project; no one wants to let go of this big piece of the pie. It would be strange if no one was paying attention to it."
“That’s true, but the project hasn’t even started yet, and you’ve already made such a big fuss at the shareholders’ meeting. What if the project doesn’t go through…”
Su Xueqing said with some concern.
Pi Yangyang smiled calmly, "Our goal is to take it all! But if that's not possible, we can settle for a smaller share; that shouldn't be a problem. I think even those three giants can't swallow it all at once."
"Besides, the complexity of this project may exceed their imagination. It's not easy to settle things between the two large villages of Bai and Wu. If we let them spend too much money and energy on this, they might give up."
Lan Bowen nodded and said, "That's true. This pie is indeed quite big, and it's difficult to eat it all at once. The relocation of the entire Wu and Bai villages is also a major problem. If it weren't so difficult, it would have been successfully developed five years ago."
“There’s no rush. It’s not time for bidding yet,” Pi Yangyang said calmly. “Although these three companies are behemoths, their scale is too large, and they may not be without pressure in terms of cash flow. You just need to coordinate with the relevant departments and make all the necessary preparations before the bidding. Leave everything else to me.”
Su Xueqing breathed a sigh of relief and said incredulously, "You seem quite confident."
Pi Yangyang smiled slightly, "Have you forgotten what I do? A street charlatan..."
Su Xueqing looked at her strangely, "Is this something to be proud of?"
Lan Bowen laughed heartily, his expression much more relaxed, and said happily, "Alright, Chairman, President Su, I'll get to the preparations. According to regulations, the qualification review takes fifteen days, and we can only obtain the bidding documents after fifteen days. During this time, we'll try our best to do the work meticulously, and thoroughly rehearse all the details of the project to ensure that there are no problems during the bidding process."
Pi Yangyang waved his hand, and Lan Bowen went back to his office.
"Are you really sure?"
After Lan Bowen left, Su Xueqing looked at Pi Yangyang with some suspicion and asked.
Since meeting Pi Yangyang, she went from not completely trusting him at the beginning to completely trusting him later, and she has never doubted anything Pi Yangyang said.
Even if others hear her talking nonsense, she believes it without a doubt.
But this time, she was actually a little worried.
After all, it's a trillion-dollar project, and far too many people are eyeing it. Pi Yangyang is very capable, but he's still young, and there's a significant gap between him and those industry giants.
They've been deeply involved in this field for many years, and whether it's funding, connections, or the rules, they're far superior to Pi Yangyang, this greenhorn.
Having confidence alone cannot solve any problems.
"You don't need to worry about this. Just focus on preparing for the bidding and planning the finances. Leave the rest to me."
A determined glint flashed in Pi Yangyang's eyes.
Seeing his confidence, Su Xueqing didn't say anything more and nodded, saying, "Don't worry about things at home. Although I don't know much about real estate, President Lan is a professional and will definitely be able to handle it well."
Pi Yangyang left the office and went to Muye's studio.
"Makino, we have a new mission."
Makino quickly stood up and asked, "Chairman, what mission?"
"Immediately investigate the Bai family's financial transactions in the capital, especially the inflows."
Pi Yangyang gave the order directly.
Muye nodded, immediately sat down, opened a software program, and prepared to hack into the Bai family's database.
This was something he was very familiar with.
In less than ten minutes, he easily cracked the Bai Group's financial database.
Looking at the fluctuating data on the computer screen, he said with some confusion, "The Bai Group hasn't had any significant financial transactions in the past six months..."
Pi Yangyang glanced at him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, keep an eye on things during this time. If you find any large amount of money entering the Bai Group, tell me immediately. At the same time, trace the source of that money."
Makino asked in surprise, "How did the chairman know that their group would have a large amount of money coming in?"
Pi Yangyang said calmly, "You don't need to know that. You just need to keep an eye on them."
Realizing he had said too much, Makino quickly replied, "Yes, Chairman."
After leaving the studio, Pi Yangyang called Wei Hongyi again.
"Sister Hong, keep an eye on Bai Zheteng for me. See who the Bai family has been in contact with lately. Remember, don't let anyone slip by, and report to me every day."
As soon as the call connected, he gave the order.
"Yes, Ninth Master!"
Wei Hongyi answered respectfully without hesitation.
After hanging up the phone, Pi Yangyang leaned against the railing, looked into the distance, a slight smile playing on his lips, and muttered to himself, "The Bai family... this is interesting..."
