Chapter 691: Spending Money, Spending More Money
With money in hand, Chen Fan's courage clearly began to grow.
The first thing he focused on was Qifan Construction.
He first sent a sum of money to the external branch company, Zhou Wangchao, not only to acquire the selected plaza plot but also to recruit personnel, striving to start work as soon as possible.
Chen Fan wasn't idle in Yunhai either, as he couldn't let only one company start work.
Don't forget, Chen Fan currently still holds three prime plots of land.
These were the exchanges made with the leaders above during the relocation of Chen Fan's club.
Chen Fan hadn't touched these three plots for two years, waiting for the right opportunity.
Chen Fan knew that news about Yunhai's second subway line would be released in the next couple of years.
Then, these three plots in his hands would have their use.
Originally, according to Chen Fan's plan, he would build several commercial buildings on the ground, and when the time came, the property prices here would soar, allowing him to make a big profit.
But now, with no shortage of money in hand, Chen Fan's ambition grew even bigger.
He personally presided over a leadership meeting at Qifan Construction.
At the meeting, Chen Fan presented the schematic of one of the plots for the first time and announced that from this year, Qifan Construction would enter a period of rapid development.
"The first task is..."
Chen Fan pointed at the plot on the map.
"To build a business tower, underground shopping mall, large plaza, and a commercial street integrating administrative offices, shopping, and entertainment in one go."
For the first time, Chen Fan revealed his ambition in front of everyone.
He planned to transform this wasteland on the map into Yunhai's future CBD, that is, the legendary Central Business District.
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire conference room fell silent.
Everyone looked at each other, all scared.
Although Qifan Construction is currently operating well, there isn't much money in its accounts.
Previously, Chen Fan didn't invest much in Qifan Construction, and all the money in the account was used to support the development of the new Nansu Town residential area.
At first, many executives opposed this residential area, but the boss insisted on building it, so everyone had no choice but to grit their teeth and launch the project.
Who would have thought that later, there would be an unexpected turn of events, and Nansu Town was included in the key development list by the authorities.
This made the residential area currently being developed by Qifan Construction the focus, and it can be predicted that the houses in the future residential area will definitely not be difficult to sell, and profits are guaranteed.
Everyone's faces lit up with joy.
But keep in mind that the residential area hasn't been completed yet, and not a single house has been put up for sale.
Not a penny of funds has been recovered. Yet the boss claims he wants to redevelop a CBD in Yunhai, isn't this madness?
The boss must be drunk.
People exchanged glances, and finally Guo Wendong, who had now been promoted to the company's vice chairman, gritted his teeth and spoke up.
"Mr. Chen... this plan is too grand. With our company's current funds... I'm afraid we can't afford such a big project."
Chen Fan quickly gave an answer.
"Use the new residential project under construction as collateral for a bank loan, see how much money we can mortgage, if it's still not enough, I'll personally cover the remaining funds."
"As long as the initial funds are in place, we can start work."
Guo Wendong said sheepishly, "Such a big project requires no small amount of funds. Shouldn't we verify on-site again, have another meeting to reconsider..."
Chen Fan showed his domineering side for the first time.
"We don't have time to consider."
"Just do as I say."
"Vice Chairman Guo, when can the first phase of the Sunshine Garden residential project be put on sale?"
Guo Wendong was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said,
"At the current rate, we can open the first phase for sale as early as August in the second half of the year."
Chen Fan nodded, "As long as the first phase of houses sells smoothly, we can directly start the pre-sale mode for the second and third phases."
"By then, the funds we receive will fully support the construction of the second and third phases."
"Your work focus will now shift to this place."
Chen Fan pointed at the map.
"Find a few professionals to inspect this place on-site, and strive to come up with a feasible design plan within a month."
Seeing Chen Fan so insistent, Guo Wendong could only nod reluctantly.
"Alright."
After throwing a sum of money at Qifan Construction, Chen Fan temporarily left the following matters to Guo Wendong.
Because there was another important matter that needed his attention next.
《Audition Online》, which was bought back by Feifan Technology at a high price, finally went online in June after internal testing.
At the same time, Chen Fan utilized all the product channels under Feifan Technology to promote 《Audition Online》.
In addition, he also took out a sum of money for online and offline advertising channels.
For a time, many peers felt that Feifan Technology had gone mad.
A game had just gone online, without being tested by the market, yet they spent so much money on such a grand promotion.
What if the game's performance is not ideal after launch? How much money would be lost?
There has always been an interesting gossip in the business world.
That is, Chen Fan, who is only in his twenties, seems to have never failed since he started his business in college.
No matter what industry he entered, he always seemed to make money.
This led many media to crown Chen Fan with the reputation of a business prodigy.
This naturally made many people very unhappy.
Now seeing Feifan Technology, as an internet technology company, directly crossing over into the gaming industry.
Many gaming companies expressed that the gaming industry is different from other industries, and it's easy to see years of hard work go down the drain.
Many bosses were even preparing to watch the show.
Secretly waiting for Chen Fan's first failure.
However, reality once again slapped everyone in the face.
On the day 《Audition Online》 went online, several servers were directly overwhelmed by the influx of players.
For many game players, this game was just too interesting. It was different from all the games they had played before.
Cool costumes, innovative social gameplay, various catchy songs, and various interesting dance modes... immediately attracted the interest of a large number of young people.
Most importantly, 《Audition Online》 won the favor of a large number of young girls.
Before this, no game had specifically appealed to girls like this.
Now with a large number of female players flocking to 《Audition Online》, it naturally attracted more male players to join.
In just a few days after launch, the number of registered users for 《Audition Online》 had exceeded 300,000. The number of simultaneous online users reached 200,000.
This was a terrifying figure, leaving countless game industry practitioners dumbfounded.
In addition, in July, 《Audition Online》 became one of the first batch of online game products suitable for minors.
As a result, for a long period afterwards, once you entered an internet cafe, 80% of the young people, especially girls, were all tapping away at their keyboards in front of the computers...
At this point, Liang Shichu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew the boss had bet right once again.
《Audition Online》 had already become a hit.
And the media directly used a report to describe this phenomenon:
"《A Game That Understands Young People Better Than Young People Themselves: He Has Created Another Miracle》."
As for these lively reports online, Chen Fan wasn't interested at all, because at this moment he had already driven back to his hometown in Luocheng alone.
The supermarket funded by Chen Fan and chosen by his relatives had finally finished decorating and was about to open for business.
