Chapter 214: Chapter 214 Crisis Approaching (1)

Surveillance on their car?

The words from Xiaoliu immediately captured the attention of everyone in the car.

Tang Qingzhong turned his head to look back and, through the car window, saw a blue BMW.

It was obviously a luxury car. Why was such a car following them?

The car behind seemed to sense their gaze and thus made a right turn at a crossroad.

Strange car.

When Tang Qingzhong turned his head back around, it appeared that Gu Nuan, who was sitting beside him, had not noticed anything unusual, as she was looking down at her phone.

The driving Xiaoliu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The feeling of being followed was truly uncomfortable.

Wa Zicong’s gaze had been fixed on the makeup-free face in the rearview mirror all this time.

Both cars arrived at the headquarters of the real estate company where they were to engage in business negotiations, located on the outskirts of the city.

Tengguang Real Estate, a local medium-sized real-estate developer, was established in 2007, the year when the domestic real estate market began to soar. Such companies, judging only by their date of establishment, were known to be short-sighted ventures. They aimed to seize the opportunity, make money, and plan to run away.

Just so, the domestic real estate situation had suddenly taken a nosedive in the last two years. Both inventory and sales showed an inverse trend, symbolizing a sustained downward movement in the entire domestic real estate market.

At this time, the only companies that could swim against the tide were those with substantial financial backing, the real estate super predators.

With the local welfare policy looking favorable, it was not without reason that Tengguang wanted out.

After all, the entire market economy does not operate according to human will, and it’s not something the government can influence at its whim. The domestic real estate market has indeed reached a bottleneck. The houses constructed by the nation might have used up more than a decade’s worth of consumer demand for housing.

Why bother with a ten-year quagmire?

Since it’s a company that seeks short-term profits, the right course of action would be to make money in a bull market, then quickly find a good buyer, sell the assets that have yet to depreciate for a good price, exit the scene completely, and invest in other more lucrative fields.

It’s not that Tengguang hadn’t considered fighting for a top spot in the real estate industry; the issue was, upon looking at the current situation of domestic real estate magnates, none were having an easy time.

There were plenty of signs signaling the doom of even the big players in real estate.

From this perspective, Gu Nuan believed that the boss of Tengguang was a businessman with self-awareness.

Probably Changda and the people from MN thought the same. Therefore, after contacting Tengguang and sensing their sincerity, they believed this acquisition deal was feasible.

In the end, who to do business with was never a question of price only; it was a matter of character, destiny, and whether both parties shared the same values, leading to an instant agreement.

The president of Tengguang was a very polite person, thorough in his courtesy, as evidenced by the red welcome banner raised early in the morning at the headquarters of his own company, greeting the business partners who had come from far away.

A double line of hostesses stood neatly at the entrance of the office building.

As Gu Nuan and the others got out of the car, they saw a bright red spectacle ahead of them, with a red carpet laid out. On one hand, the festive color pleased the business opponents. On the other hand, it fostered a positive expectation of success among the Chinese.

Chen Jiaming just got out of the car and, as the leader of the team, was quickly given the warmest welcome.

Not only did he have a hostess to lead the way, but also a man said to be the son of the Tengguang boss and also the general manager of the company, who was roughly the same age as Chen Jiaming, both in their thirties, surnamed Zhou.
