Shanghai!
Headquarters of Huanyu Group.
During the meeting, Ma Jun was speaking at length when his secretary suddenly came over and whispered a few words in his ear:
What?
Ma Jun's eyes narrowed sharply, and his face turned icy as he said:
Meeting adjourned!
Upon seeing this, the high-ranking officials fell silent and left.
...
As soon as they entered the meeting room, they heard a sound of someone banging on the table, which made them shrink back in fright.
"What's wrong with Chairman Ma again...?"
"I don't know! I've noticed that ever since Chairman Ma started clashing with the Black Dragon Group in Songjiang, he's been throwing tantrums every few days..."
"Could it be that we've been scammed by that Heilong Group from Songjiang again...?"
"Nonsense! Mr. Ma can't possibly be outmatched by a young man..."
"Heroes have always emerged from among the young..."
"Silence..."
.....
Bang!
Ma Jun slammed his fist on the table: "What did you just say...?"
Secretary: "Chairman Ma, news just came from Songjiang: This morning, hundreds of people filed formal complaints against You and Huiri Real Estate for usury and disregard for human life. Songjiang has established a joint investigation team to investigate the two real estate companies: Chen Yu of You committed suicide by jumping off a building, and Wang Hui of Huiri has been arrested..."
Ma Jun: "How could that be? Doesn't Chen Yu have... backing?"
Secretary: "That person...was also arrested..."
Ma Jun's expression changed slightly. The reason he cooperated with the three major real estate agencies in Songjiang was because he valued Chen Yu's powerful backer. He believed that with that person by his side, Chen Yu would be invincible. However, he did not expect that in such a short time, Chen Yu would commit suicide by jumping off a building, and his powerful backer would also fall. How did Qin Jiang manage to do this? How powerful was he in Songjiang?
In a short time...
Ma Jun was somewhat incredulous and questioned his own existence.
His scheme!
Did we fail at the very first step?
etc...
Ma Jun: "What's going on with Daye Real Estate? Why wasn't they affected...?"
Secretary: "According to the news that came back: Daye Real Estate was not involved in usury and therefore was not affected..."
Ma Jun: "Go! Contact Dong Ye of Daye Real Estate and tell him that Huanyu Group can fully support him to become the number one real estate agency in Songjiang, or even a large national real estate agency, as long as he remains neutral."
Secretary: "Yes!"
Ma Jun: "Immediately send a legal team to Songjiang. The two major intermediaries have 500 million yuan in loans with us. They said that the loans were fraudulent. We must not let these funds be frozen. We must get the money back!"
Secretary: "Yes!"
The secretary quickly left to handle the situation.
It must be said:
Ma Jun handled things quickly, but ultimately he was a step too slow.
A few hours later.
The secretary brought back a message:
The money they lent out has already been distributed by Songjiang to the homebuyers. As for their money, it's a financial dispute, and they need to sue the two major real estate agencies to get it back...
Bang!
Ma Jun slammed his fist on the table again in anger: "Outrageous! How could they misappropriate our loan money? Qin Jiang... no wonder he didn't use his methods to destroy the intermediaries, but instead waited here all this time. He'll probably make me lose hundreds of millions..."
This moment:
Ma Jun was truly furious.
after all:
That's a loss of 500 million! Don't be fooled by Songjiang's offer to let them sue for it; who can they sue? The chairmen of the two major real estate agencies are either dead or arrested, and the agencies themselves have been shut down! They haven't even paid back all the money owed to their clients, let alone their debts...
This money is basically gone...
The main issue is that he personally made the decision to lend money to several intermediaries, and now that the deal has fallen through, he definitely has to take responsibility.
Although he founded Huanyu Group, it has also received funding. While he is currently the largest shareholder, other smaller shareholders also have voting rights on the board. Such actions, causing the group to lose hundreds of millions for personal gain, will certainly incur the chairman's displeasure...
Ma Jun gritted his teeth: "What about Dong Ye...?"
Secretary: "Dongye's Daye Real Estate has announced a full-scale cooperation with Heilong Group, focusing on promoting the Heilong project!"
Bang!
Ma Jun, even more enraged, stood up and slammed his fist on the table: "Qin Jiang... Qin Jiang... excellent methods... truly excellent methods..."
This moment:
Ma Jun knew his first step in his plan regarding Qin Jiang:
[Complete Failure]
The loss amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars!
They've lost face!
After a long pause, Ma Jun regained his composure and sat back down in his chair: "Go...go contact a few more bank leaders for dinner tonight..."
"Furthermore, we would like to inform Songjiang that three of our Huanyu Group's development projects have also entered the pre-sale phase..."
"The timing is the same as Heilong Real Estate's..."
"In addition to the sales team we've already secured, we'll transfer two more sales teams there, with an extra 30% increase in benefits. We'll also tell the sales teams that if they can win this battle, each of them will be promoted one level, and each person's bonus will be no less than 50,000!"
Since they intend to compete with the Black Dragon Group, they must also sell their own properties to compete. Selling properties requires a sales team, but unlike in other cities, where they can easily dispatch a team of elite sales professionals to recruit a large number of local sales staff, significantly reducing labor costs—after all, sales staff transferred from other places require accommodation subsidies, living allowances, and travel allowances, while locally recruited sales staff only need a base salary plus commission.
But that won't work in Songjiang.
The sales team in Songjiang simply cannot recruit anyone.
Nothing more!
The Black Dragon Group's reputation is too intimidating: everyone knows that the Black Dragon Group and the Huanyu Group have a conflict, so no one dares to risk offending the Black Dragon Group by going against the Huanyu Group, at least... ordinary people wouldn't dare!
Are you selling them?
You can't work there!
Why deliberately put yourself in danger!
Therefore, if Ma Jun wanted to compete with Heilong Group in Songjiang using real estate, he needed to transfer a sales team from other places. Because Heilong Group was too powerful, the sales team transferred was also selected based on its ability, courage, and methods, and the compensation offered had to be very generous. However, due to the collapse of the intermediary they were cooperating with, one sales team was not enough, so two had to be temporarily transferred.
Ma Jun said decisively, "Increase their commissions, provide them with five-star hotel accommodations, and reimburse all their meals! Give them the highest level of benefits and tell them I have only one requirement: they must win!"
"As long as they win: when they return in triumph, my Ma army will personally welcome them back and throw them a victory banquet!"
Secretary: "Yes, Chairman Ma! Don't worry! Our sales team has been through countless trials and tribulations, which is something that a group like Heilong Group, which has just entered the real estate industry, can't compare to."
.....
As the saying goes:
A generous reward will surely attract brave men!
Driven by money, three elite sales teams from Huanyu Group headed straight to Songjiang that very day...
at the same time.
Ma Jun also launched his second phase of the plan:
Cut off Black Dragon's cash flow!
