Chapter 464: Land Plot No. 012
According to the Jinchuan Construction documents Chen Fan had reviewed, the acquisition price of 85 million yuan was already too high.
Before Guo Wendong approached them, Jinchuan Construction had already taken several self-rescue measures, selling off all valuable assets they could.
It could be said that now they only had an empty shell of a company left and a piece of construction land that had been sitting idle for nearly 6-7 years.
Over the next few days, Chen Fan led a negotiation team consisting of Guo Wendong and several mid-level managers temporarily recruited from the club. They focused on having several meetings with Jinchuan Construction's negotiation team.
On Chen Fan's side, they said the price of 85 million yuan was too high and they couldn't accept it.
On Jinchuan Construction's side, they insisted that the entire company plus the only remaining piece of land was definitely worth this price.
Moreover, they produced evidence to prove that when they originally acquired this land at auction, they had spent at least 40 million yuan.
That was 40 million yuan back in the 90s.
Now the company plus this land was only 85 million yuan, they were definitely selling at a loss.
But Chen Fan's side remained unmoved and continued negotiations according to their own pace.
During the meeting, Guo Wendong pointed out that if this land was really worth so much money, they wouldn't have held onto it for 6-7 years without developing it.
The reason it hadn't been developed was because Jinchuan Construction had misjudged the value of this land, causing it to become almost a wasteland over the years, and they never dared to continue investing funds for development.
Chen Fan sat in his seat, never opening his mouth.
He handed over the negotiation task to Guo Wendong, while he leisurely flipped through the materials about this piece of land held by the other side.
According to the documents, this plot of land numbered xxxxxxxxxx-012 had an area of 4.12 hectares, about 60 mu.
The entire plot was a square, like a perfect square, easily leaving a deep impression.
Chen Fan stared at this plot of land, feeling more and more familiar with it.
He felt like he had seen it somewhere before. But he couldn't remember where for the moment.
Just as he was staring blankly at the documents, Guo Wendong quietly reminded him, and Chen Fan finally snapped out of his daze.
Seeing this scene, some of the negotiators from Jinchuan Construction looked exasperated, while others sighed deeply.
Such an important acquisition case, and he was daydreaming during the negotiation.
Originally, they had hoped that after the company was acquired, everyone might have a good future.
Now it seemed that with such a boss... sigh, their future was completely ruined.
Chen Fan didn't notice the expressions of the people opposite him, but looked at Guo Wendong and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The negotiation is stuck," Guo Wendong said with a bitter smile. "The other side is insisting on the acquisition price of 85 million yuan and won't lower it."
"They said if we don't agree, they'd rather not sell."
Chen Fan smiled. Nonsense.
The actual situation of Jinchuan Construction was right there, if they didn't quickly find a buyer, bankruptcy was 100% certain.
These people were just putting up a tough front at this point.
Chen Fan was confident that if they continued to drag it out for a while, they could definitely acquire it at a lower price.
However, accidents could easily happen during this period, after all, Chen Fan wasn't sure if other companies might be interested in Jinchuan Construction.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Chen Fan coughed lightly and slowly spoke up.
"Can I ask, where exactly is this plot of land located?"
"Nansu Town!"
The negotiator from Jinchuan Construction replied with some embarrassment in his tone.
Nansu Town wasn't in Yunhai city proper, but belonged to a township in a county surrounding Yunhai.
However, the location of this land was right on the border with Yunhai urban area, practically adjacent to Yunhai.
This location was very awkward. To say this land didn't belong to Yunhai, well, it was right next to Yunhai's urban area. To say it belonged, well, it was still classified as being in a surrounding township.
Most importantly, Nansu Town where this land was located was to the south of Yunhai, in a good geographical position, but the surrounding development was very poor.
The poor surrounding supporting development was also the reason why Jinchuan Construction was able to directly buy plot No. 012 at a relatively low price originally.
They were originally betting on Yunhai's future development direction being southward.
At that time, even if they didn't develop this land, its price would definitely double.
However, who would have thought that last year Yunhai suddenly announced the Western Old City Development Plan.
This immediately disrupted Jinchuan Construction's plans.
Land Plot No. 012 became completely useless land, with no development value at all.
This was also one of the reasons leading to Jinchuan Construction's accelerated bankruptcy.
The people from Jinchuan Construction said the three words "Nansu Town" with very complicated feelings.
But they didn't expect that upon hearing these words, Chen Fan's heart suddenly began to churn with excitement.
Nansu Town.
Chen Fan suddenly remembered.
In his previous life, in order to cope with the future urban development pressure, Yunhai city began to relocate some factories and enterprises from the urban area to surrounding areas.
In addition, in order to strengthen the connection between the urban area and surrounding townships and expand the urban central development circle, a large number of real estate projects were launched successively.
Nansu Town was chosen as one of the key hubs.
To develop this place, Yunhai relocated several heavily polluting key enterprises there, establishing an industrial park.
In addition, they also integrated several nearby schools, centrally building Nansu No.1 Middle School.
From kindergarten, primary school to high school, it was an integrated system. By strengthening the teaching staff, Nansu No.1 Middle School would gradually become one of the top three key high schools in Yunhai city in the next few years.
Later, they even placed the branch of Yunhai Renmin Hospital in Nansu Town.
Of course, all of these were things that would happen more than a decade later.
However, what could be seen now was this Nansu No.1 Middle School.
If Chen Fan's memory wasn't wrong, he remembered that the establishment of Nansu No.1 Middle School would happen within the next two years.
He had felt this plot of land was familiar just now.
Because in his previous life, this plot of land was right next to the chosen site for Nansu No.1 Middle School.
It was less than 1,000 meters away from the school.
Back then, Chen Fan and Su Ruochu had even gone to look at apartments in the residential complex on this land.
At that time, the buildings were still under construction, but the prices were already not cheap.
The slogan used by the sales office was "school district housing, one-stop enrollment from kindergarten to high school."
Chen Fan remembered very clearly that he had seen the rendered images of the residential complex at the sales office.
The entire complex was perfectly square, with a central garden built in the middle, and the underground parking lot beneath the garden.
12 multi-story residential buildings surrounded the central garden.
Both the landscaping and environment were very good.
In his previous life, Su Ruochu had fallen in love with the apartments here at first sight.
Unfortunately, the price was really too much for Chen Fan to afford at that time.
Looking at this plot of land No. 012 in the documents, Chen Fan's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
This was no wasteland at all.
This was simply a gold nugget.
If he acquired Jinchuan Company, he could directly use this plot of land as the company's first practice project.
There was no need to find someone to design it, they could just build it according to the residential complex plan from his previous life.
If they started preparations this year, by the time the complex was built, the nearby school would almost be completed too.
Just based on being right next to the school, there would definitely be no worry about selling the apartments in the complex.
The more Chen Fan thought about it, the more excited he became.
This was simply picking up a huge bargain.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Fan kept his face expressionless so the people opposite wouldn't notice.
After adjusting his emotions, Chen Fan looked up with a pretend impatient expression.
"Where's your chairman? Can I have a private chat with him?"
