340 A Dollar’s Edge?
When they heard Section Chief Yao’s final announcement of the results…
The entire hall fell into a dead silence.
Everyone’s faces were filled with disbelief.
They thought that they had heard wrongly.
Wanfeng Real Estate’s bid price was 2.56 billion.
Lingyun Real Estate’s bid price was 2.56 billion… and 1 yuan?
With the advantage of one yuan, they managed to get this piece of land?
Become the final winner?
How was this possible?
Peng Shaokun only came back to his senses after a long time. He immediately rushed in front of Section Chief Yao. “You’re talking nonsense. This is absolutely impossible!”
Section Chief Yao frowned. “President Peng, I can understand how you feel right now, but I hope you can remain calm.”
Peng Shaokun’s eyes were red. “Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down? I’ve invested so much into this project, but in the end, I actually lost. Moreover, I lost by a difference of one yuan. Can I stay calm?”
Section Chief Yao looked at him coldly. “Whether you accept it or not, this is the truth. Lingyun Real Estate’s bid is indeed one yuan higher than yours.”
Peng Shaokun’s eyes went black and he almost fell down.
Secretary Liu, who was beside him, reacted quickly and quickly held him up.
Peng Shaokun pushed her away like a wild beast that had lost its mind.
He pointed angrily at Section Chief Yao. “It must be you. You must have leaked our bid price to them. You bent the law for personal gain. I’m going to sue you…”
Section Chief Yao’s face darkened. “Peng Shaokun, how dare you slander me? Do you have any evidence?”
Peng Shaokun had completely lost his mind. “Their bidding price is only one yuan higher than mine. Obviously, they knew our bidding price in advance. You must have leaked it to them.”
Section Chief Yao’s gaze was cold.
“Only the leaders in charge of the final review know the price you gave. I just got the results. Are you suspecting that someone among those leaders is bending the law for personal gain?”
Peng Shaokun was immediately speechless.
Those leaders were in charge of the real estate planning and approval of the entire Zhonghai.
He did not dare to spout nonsense without any evidence.
Otherwise, Wanfeng Real Estate would never be able to survive in Zhonghai.
Even so, Peng Shaokun was still very suspicious.
Who leaked their bid price?
At this time, Secretary Liu who was standing beside him stole a glance at Ye Feng.
She couldn’t figure out who leaked this secret information.
One had to know that only a few people knew about this matter from the planning to the execution.
Other than Peng Shaokun himself and her, the secretary, only the important people in charge of this area and Qiu Min of Qingyun Investment Company knew about it.
Ye Feng noticed her gaze and smiled.
Previously, when he and Qiu Min had reached an agreement, these secrets were naturally told by her.
On the other side, Peng Shaokun didn’t know who leaked the secret.
However, he was still a little unwilling.
“Section Chief Yao, the rules of our bidding this time state that the company that wins the bid must have more than 70% of the capital flow of the entire project. I’m afraid Lingyun Real Estate doesn’t meet this requirement, right?”
Hearing his question, everyone present nodded.
“That’s right. A conservative estimate for this project is tens of billions. Lingyun Real Estate needs to have at least 7 billion in cash flow.”
“If they don’t have that much money, it won’t be a joke if the project is half-finished.”
“Lingyun Real Estate’s current valuation is only a few billion, right? Where did they get so much cash flow?”
“You have to give us an explanation. Otherwise, we won’t accept it.”
“Yes, I’m not convinced!”
Looking at the angry crowd, Section Chief Yao could not help but sneer. “Lingyun Real Estate has provided sufficient proof of funds and is in full compliance with this regulation.”
When Peng Shaokun and the others heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
“That’s impossible. Where did Lingyun Real Estate get so much money?”
“Yes, unless they suddenly receive capital injection, they will never have such a huge capital flow.”
“But where did they get the investment in such a short time?”
“Could it be that they made false accounts to deceive the audit?”
“If they find out, the consequences will be very serious.”
Just as everyone was bewildered…
Suddenly, they saw a woman walking in from outside.
This woman was very beautiful.
Her long, soft hair was casually draped behind her.
She was still wearing a white racing suit, which did not fit in with the atmosphere at the scene.
...
When Peng Shaokun saw her, he immediately walked over helplessly. “Qiu Min, I’m really sorry. We didn’t win the bid this time.”
This woman was Qiu Min.
Upon hearing his words, she immediately sneered. “I know.”
Peng Shaokun was stunned. “How did you know?”
Qiu Min put her hands in her pockets. “Because I invested in Lingyun Real Estate, which allowed them to get the right to bid.”
Peng Shaokun immediately showed an expression of disbelief. “What? You invested in them? Why are you doing this? Didn’t you already decide to invest in Wanfeng Real Estate?”
Qiu Min sneered. “Do you need me to say what you did in public?”
Peng Shaokun was furious. “What did I do? You have to give me an explanation today.”
Qiu Min looked at him coldly.
“I was originally still concerned about the face of my old classmate. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, then I’ll say it clearly. Your Wanfeng Real Estate’s finances are fake. Fortunately, I was reminded by Mr. Ye to avoid a huge loss…”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
...
Wanfeng Real Estate’s financial fraud?
Was this for real?
Reputation was very important in the business world.
If Wanfeng Real Estate was proven to have faked its finances…
In the future, not many companies would dare to work with them.
“I trusted you so much. I didn’t expect you to lie to me. How despicable.”
Qiu Min could not hide the anger in her heart.
“Ye Feng… He’s slandering me. Qiu Min, don’t believe his nonsense. He has a grudge against me and deliberately framed me…”
Peng Shaokun suddenly became anxious and spoke without thinking.
He wanted to rush up and strangle Ye Feng.
It was this kid who ruined his plans again.
Qiu Min immediately took out a document bag. “All the evidence of your construction costs is here. Do you still need me to read them out for you one by one?”
Peng Shaokun, who was about to struggle, immediately stopped.
He didn’t even dare to let out a fart.
