Chapter 245 Land Auction
"Next is the land VL013618. The starting price is , and each increase in price must not be less than ." The man cleared his throat and raised the small wooden hammer in his hand again.

When the man began to announce the start of the auction, everyone started chattering.

There were Asians all around him, and as a foreigner, he couldn't understand what they were talking about, so he could only force out a stupid smile.

This plot of land is larger than the previous one and is ideal for building a townhouse as it has access to roads on both sides, allowing for easy access for multiple cars.

"Four hundred and sixty thousand!" Someone quickly made a bid. It was the uncle who had been so impatient just now.

The first piece of land has already been given up by someone else, and Chen Xi doesn't want to show off anymore. The price of this piece of land must be high, so he decides to wait and see the situation before making a decision.

"Four hundred and seventy thousand!"

"..."

"Seven hundred and eighty thousand!"

As expected, the price soared to nearly 800,000 yuan. Obviously, many people were interested in this piece of land. Those who had not made a bid before all made offers for this piece of land. The most intense competition was between the uncle with glasses and the fat lady.

Often, as soon as the uncle made a bid, the auntie would immediately update the price, as if she was determined to win. There were several Europeans standing next to the auntie, so they must have come as a group to bid for the land, and their funds were definitely not something that one person could match.

After the aunt's competition, the man with glasses finally lost, and the land was sold for 810,000 yuan. The aunt seemed to think that the price was too high, and she glared at the other party fiercely. Originally, her ideal price was within 750,000 yuan.

If her companions hadn't been urging her, she wouldn't have wanted to buy the land at this price, because there were still a lot of vacant land nearby. If she bought it now at a high price, plus the construction costs and the time it takes to sell it, as well as the exchange rate changes, she felt that she would earn less than expected, which was a bit unacceptable.

The man with glasses kept looking at his watch and I didn't know what urgent matter it was.

"Attending an auction is like rushing to be reborn." The aunt muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Congratulations, ma'am." The man presiding over the auction applauded and congratulated the old lady.

"What is there to congratulate? The price is so high, just 13 o'clock." A tall and thin middle-aged woman in the crowd curled her lips.

"Hey, what's the progress of the auction over there? What..." While heading to the third piece of land, the uncle with glasses kept making phone calls.

After hearing this, everyone finally understood why this guy was so anxious. It turned out that he wanted to participate in a land auction somewhere else.

"This guy is really busy, just like playing a game, and he even opens multiple games!" Xiao Ming laughed secretly.
"Some people are like this. They like multiple pieces of land, but the auction times conflict." Max is very talkative. He will patiently explain things that Chen Xi and others don't understand.

"It makes me want to buy land too. Unfortunately, my family is not interested in this. They run a factory and think it's better to use the money to buy new machines." Chen Xu looked at Chen Xi with envy.

Cherry went to school today, and he will rush back to pick her up later, just like an old father sending his child to and from school.

"Don't worry, you can buy it when you earn money. There is so much land in Australia." Max comforted him kindly.

"This piece of land is VL013129, the starting price is , and each increase in price must not be less than ."

The third piece of land looked a little more desolate than the first two. There were signs on the empty land on both sides, indicating that it was also being auctioned.

There are few houses around and there is a park next to it.

Chen Xi looked around at everyone, and everyone seemed to be not very interested.

"I told you about this piece of land before. If you buy the two pieces of land next to it and build a townhouse directly, you will definitely make money." Max covered his face with documents and talked to Chen Xi in a low voice.

"Why not build an apartment? Wouldn't we make more money that way?" Chen Xu also joined the discussion.

"Balwyn is not suitable for building apartments at the moment. The lack of population is a big problem. Even if you build one, it's hard to sell it."

“Isn’t there a school nearby?”

"For those who send their children to school here, would they still be short of money? Besides, do you see any apartment buildings in this area? There is no shortage of land here, the population density is low, and there are no large shopping malls, so it is more cost-effective to build townhouses."

"Then let's go by the price you estimated before. If it's higher than that, I'll give up."

"Well, you can try."

The three people discussed in a low voice. The host looked around and found that no one bid, so he could only shout again.

"Three hundred and sixty thousand!" A bearded foreigner slowly stretched out his finger.

"Three hundred and seventy thousand!" the aunt spoke again.

"Three hundred and eighty thousand!" the man with glasses shouted while on the phone.

When the man with glasses finished shouting, no one raised the price any more. This made the auctioneer stunned for a moment. He did not immediately shout the countdown, but continued to look around at the crowd.

Everyone looked at him with their arms folded, which made the man feel a little embarrassed.

"380,000 for the first time!"

"Three hundred and eighty thousand for the second time!"

"Three hundred and ninety thousand!"

After the man called out the price twice, Chen Xi finally made a bid. The man's face immediately brightened, he looked around and found that others still did not respond, so he started a new round of shouting.

"Thirty-nine thousand for the first time!"

"Stop wasting time. I'm going to attend another event." The uncle with glasses hung up the phone, turned around and left.

"Three hundred and ninety thousand for the second time!"

"Three hundred and ninety thousand for the third time!"

"make a deal!"

After the deal was successfully concluded, Chen Xi's mouth slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile. He exchanged glances with Max, who nodded slightly.

Max said that this piece of land would not be worth more than 420,000 yuan at most.

The main advantage of land No. VL013129 is its spacious area. Although its geographical location is slightly remote, this does not worry Chen Xi.

Because he knew that housing prices in this area had the potential to rise, and as time went on, more houses would be built around it, making the value of the land gradually apparent.

"You are such a generous young man! Don't spend all your parents' money. If you are short of money, come to your sister and I will teach you how to do business." The fat lady gave Chen Xi an intriguing look.

What is this aunt doing?

Also send me a guide to entrepreneurship for college students?
Seeing the other party's coquettish look, he felt like a horse was galloping in his heart.

"That lady seems to like you. I think you might as well sacrifice your looks! That way you don't have to work so hard to make money."

"I think so too. She is a little fat, but she has money in her pocket. I think she just gave in to you and didn't take the land."

"Come on, they stopped bidding after that uncle shouted."

Chen Xi waved his hands. He did not take the teasing of several people seriously.

I can only sigh in my heart that this Wenou real estate speculation group is really everywhere.

Previous news reports often said that people like them like to buy real estate all over the world. Today, I saw it with my own eyes, and it was indeed true. There were several people around this lady. It seemed that she had strong financial resources and could probably buy a lot of land.

Generally speaking, Wenou people prefer to buy real estate directly. The behavior of this lady buying a plot of land is indeed a bit unusual.

According to Chen Xi's analysis, she might be planning to buy the land for development and then sell it to her fellow villagers. This can speed up the delivery, because many Wen-Europeans have the need to immigrate overseas, and the first thing they need to solve after immigration is the accommodation problem.

This lady is most likely engaged in the business of providing a place for immigrants to stay.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Hmm? I was thinking, this guy looks quite rich, what is he going to do with so much land..." Chen Xi told Max what he was thinking.

"Almost. But this person probably bought some land and built some simple houses, and then rented them out to Wenou people who came here to do business or work. After all, a lot of people can live in one house, so the profit is higher. When the house prices go up, she will sell them and make a profit."

"Fuck, the Australian rent collector?" Dongdong couldn't help but say after hearing Max's words.

"Haha, let me tell you, many people from the towns in Zhijiang come here to work together. Australia is now in need of construction workers and miners, especially those who drive excavators. These people usually choose affordable houses. They don't care about the environment. Anyway, when they are tired from work, they just fall asleep when they come back."

"You are slandering our fellow Zhijiang people again!"

Chen Xu's mouth twitched and he poked Max's armpit with his hand.

As a native of Zhijiang, Chenxu feels that everyone there is the boss and only people from other places will work for others.

Max's words obviously made him feel a little embarrassed.

"By the way, why don't you buy a few plots of land yourself?" Chen Xi was puzzled. Max was so good at identifying land and was in this line of business, but he didn't make a bid today.

"I have land, but not much. I'm in the paperwork business. Look at my office, it can be called a paper office. This is a job that's sure to make money."

"Your job can be passed down for three generations."

"Hahaha!"

Chen Xi looked at Max with some envy. His job was to help people deal with formalities. The income was high, stable, and there was no competition. He could earn more than one million Australian dollars a year. Because he started early and took over the business from his family, he had all the necessary documents. Now, there were basically no new people coming in to take over the job of this kind of formalities transfer work, and there were many rules and regulations involved.

Having already bought two plots of land, Chen Xi had no plans to continue, so several people chose to leave.

What remains is to pay the final payment and go through the formalities, which is not a difficult task.

In a dessert shop, Chen Xizheng and Max were discussing the website.

Chen Xu's current idea is very simple, that is, to follow his cousin. The previous garbage recycling project has been put aside by him.

Since the official approval has not been approved yet, it would be a waste of time to continue wasting time.

Seeing his cousin's business flourishing, he also had the idea of ​​joining in. After all, asking for money from his family for investment all the time is not a long-term solution.

He had previously collaborated with Ouyang Ming but gained nothing, which made his family quite dissatisfied with him.

Now, he plans to build a website. This project does not require too much capital investment. He only needs to assist Chen Xi in communicating effectively with real estate agents.

"This is a long-term project. There won't be any returns in the short term. Are you sure you want to do it?"

"Well, I believe I will make a lot of money later."

Hearing Max's question, Chen Xi nodded.

The early days of the Internet are all about burning money, and those who hold on until the end will win. Fortunately, this is Australia, where there is no competition at all, which is why he dared to do this.

"There are so many real estate agencies in Australia now, and they are scattered. It is not easy to integrate them. There are not many that have gradually grown into a large scale. Most of them are small agencies. You have to make money for them before they will join you."

"I understand that. Real estate agents in remote areas are all private shops run by foreigners. Advertising is limited to posters on the storefronts. The situation of Chinese real estate agents in urban areas is not much better. There are only two or three chain stores at most. The only real large-scale ones are Ray White and Real Estate, and the rest are medium-sized real estate agencies such as Barry Plant..."

"You understand it in quite a lot of detail! I won't say much more. We can discuss the specific issues later. I still have things to deal with at the company."

"I'm going to pick up Cherry too. Call me if you need anything."

Max and Chenxu stood up and said goodbye to each other.

"I've been wanting to ask my dad to invest in real estate in Tu'ao. It turns out the threshold is so low. The housing prices in my small third-tier city can't even go up, and demolition is extremely difficult. You know those villagers." Dongdong came up with the idea of ​​doing real estate in Tu'ao. He had done so in his previous life.

"I'll stock up on some land first and see how the situation goes. If you want to buy, you can discuss it with your family." Chen Xi encouraged the two of them. He felt that getting on the train now was not a bad idea, mainly because it was very convenient to get land here.

There are too many things involved in the process of acquiring land and developing real estate in China.

He must now integrate offline real estate agencies before Real Estate.

Originally, he just wanted to make a small move, after all, this company had someone behind it to support it. But after meeting Feng Jialun during his last trip back to China, he had a different idea.

Since Huakai Capital has taken a fancy to him, why not cooperate and make things bigger!

However, he still couldn't figure out why Feng Jialun wanted to extend an olive branch to him.

It would be ridiculous to say that it was Alin who strongly recommended it to the other party.

Now, he is just a small pawn in the business world and doesn't seem to have any outstanding qualities.

However, cooperating with Huakai is not a bad thing for him at the moment, so he naturally will not give up.

Sihai Company.

"Brother Tian, ​​congratulations on your promotion! You must follow us in the future."

"Haha, I've always thought that Brother Tian is something special. Those who entered the company with me are now team leaders."

"No matter where you are, we are all colleagues. We should take care of each other in the future."

Listening to the praise from his colleagues, Tian Gou felt very happy.

The news of Tian Gou's promotion has spread throughout Sihai Company, and the employees' reactions are varied. Some are truly happy for him and wish him a bright future, while others are filled with jealousy that is difficult to conceal.

Although he was only promoted to team leader, Tian Gou is now in charge of two teams, which undoubtedly improves his status and reputation, and his salary and benefits will naturally increase as well.

More importantly, he was no longer the small character who could only obey other people's orders. Now he had the power to command other employees. This change made him suddenly confident.

Thinking back to the days when he was looked down upon in the past, and looking at the respectful attitude of people around him now, Tian Gou feels a great sense of accomplishment.

Moreover, he was the first one among his same batch of employees in the company to be promoted, which undoubtedly made him even more proud and complacent.

"Do a good job, Xiaotian." Old Song patted his shoulder with satisfaction. As Tian Gou's half-master, he was really happy for this silly apprentice.

"Don't worry, Uncle Song! I will definitely work harder." Tian Gou patted his chest and promised.

"The boss is here!" Someone shouted, and everyone's eyes turned to the door. At this time, Chen Xi and the other two had already gone up to the second floor. They saw Tian Gou chatting with his colleagues in a lively manner, and they couldn't help but feel happy.

"Tian Gou performed very bravely this time. I decided to give him a reward of 5,000 yuan and promote him to team leader. I believe that in future work, Comrade Tian Gou will continue to maintain this excellent performance and contribute more to the development of the company!" Xiao Ming put his hands behind his back and spoke slowly.

"Fuck, he really looks like a leader!" Dong Dong complained from the side.

"Haha, pretty good!" Chen Xi smiled and felt that Xiao Ming was doing a good job on the surface.

Amid the attention and warm applause of his colleagues, Xiao Ming solemnly handed a bulging red envelope to Tian Gou.

At this moment, Tian Gou's eyes were moistened, and he was moved to accept the bonus which symbolized honor and recognition.

Thinking back to his last impulsive experience, he still feels a lingering fear.

That time, he almost lost his life because of his momentary recklessness. If the man's knife had been a little off and hit him in a vital part, he would probably have had to receive the money only as a pension.

Thinking of this, he cherished this hard-earned honor and reward even more.

It’s not easy to make some money!
I’ve heard my dad talk about how difficult it was to be young, but I didn’t expect it to be so difficult. I almost lost my life.

I have become a foreman in such a short time. When I become a supervisor, I will definitely appear in front of Yuqing in a dignified manner!

Now Tian Gou still fantasizes about becoming boyfriend and girlfriend with Li Yuqing, and thinks that as long as he works hard, he can change the other person's opinion.

"The world is my home, and development depends on everyone!"

"Crack! Crack!"

"Come on, Brother Tian!"

Tian Gou was so excited that he stretched out his fist and raised it high to the ceiling, and shouted a sonorous slogan at the same time. What responded to him were naturally the smiles of Chen Xi and others and the applause of his colleagues.

"Sihai has more and more orders now. We have received cleaning orders from many companies, and we need to increase manpower and equipment. We can only take charge of several surrounding districts now. The southeast district is very large..." In the office, Chen Xi and two others were sitting on the sofa and holding a small meeting. They listened to Xia Lian's report and nodded continuously.

In the few months since Chen Xi returned to China, Sihai Company's business has experienced explosive growth.

One of the important reasons is that a large number of Chinese people returned to China for the Chinese New Year, which boosted market demand. Although the company had purchased a batch of equipment before, it still could not meet the current demand, which also restricted the company's further expansion.

Sihai Company has won more and more recognition from local people with its high-quality services and low prices.

At the same time, some Chinese people also jumped from other companies to work at Sihai. They spread the word, making the reputation of this old company Sihai famous again in the industry.

Chen Xi looked at Xia Lian in front of him and touched his chin.

I originally thought that Xia Lian was a girl who only knew how to work hard and didn't know how to adapt.

However, unexpectedly, in addition to completing her own work, she also began to think about and plan the future development strategy of Sihai Company.

Think about it, she is a top student at the University of Melbourne, so she is definitely not just a pretty face. It's just that due to her family's financial constraints, she has to take on some basic work while studying to supplement her family income.

"I suggest opening a branch in Glen Waverley, where there are many Chinese people, and it can also radiate to Vietnamese areas such as Springvale."

Xia Lian said this while looking at her notes, and it was obvious that she had put a lot of effort into it.

"Xia Lian, I didn't expect you to be so capable. If Chen Xi hadn't wanted to keep you as his secretary, I would have wanted to make you a manager!" Xiao Ming said exaggeratedly, making all kinds of funny expressions on his face.

"I...it's not very convenient...I'd better continue to do my current job..." Xia Lian blushed and didn't dare to look at them.

"Don't mind it. This guy is stupid as a boss now." Chen Xi glared at Xiao Ming, then smiled at Xia Lian.

"There is also Chastone Shopping Center and Monash University next to it, and there are many car 4S stores to the east..." Xia Lian continued to speak according to her thoughts.

Chen Xi kept thinking about her words. Originally, he wanted to fight all the way to the City. Xia Lian's idea of ​​gradually surrounding the city from the countryside was also a good one.

"Okay, let's do as Xiaolian said!" Chen Xi knocked on the table and agreed with her plan.

Xia Lian smiled with joy. This was the first time that a plan she proposed was recognized by others.

Before that, she had been doing simple work in a milk tea shop. After joining Sihai Company, she tried her best to avoid giving people the impression that she relied on her relationship with Chen Xi to get promoted.

Therefore, I used all my free time to deeply analyze the company's operations, hoping to prove my strength and value through my own efforts.
