321: Continuous setbacks
321: Continuous setbacks
For fear of missing anything, the subordinate stayed outside for a while longer. He only left at around eight or nine in the evening when there were no more passing cars.
Now he finally confirmed that there were only five employees in this orchard.
However, for an orchard of this size, five employees are really too few.
Are you too busy to come here?
As a fellow worker, he even felt sympathy for the five poor employees of the orchard.
The Fu family makes so much money, but they don’t even bother hiring more employees.
The boss is too good at exploiting people. It must be painful to work here.
After deciding on the candidate, the subordinate went back and reported to Li Daning.
At this time, the events at the state banquet had already spread on the Internet. The popularity was at its highest point, and all platforms were flooded with content about this matter. It was difficult for Li Daning not to see it.
Unless he doesn't touch his phone.
But he seemed to have a masochistic disorder. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't watch it, and he would feel uncomfortable all day if he watched it. Now he was just scrolling through his phone in discomfort.
When he heard the news from his subordinates at this time, he immediately ordered his men to carry out the plan without stopping.
He was too eager to achieve success and fame to show off, so seeing Jiuweizhai making money was more painful for him than seeing him losing money.
Very quickly, someone drove a car to look at the land nearby that day and finalized a piece of land.
It’s not far from the Fu family’s orchard, but not too close either.
I don’t know why the value of this piece of land has skyrocketed recently. There are many projects waiting to be developed around it. Looking at this, who would dare to believe that it was still a wasteland half a year ago.
The piece of land chosen by Li Daning is collective land. There is no need for bidding, only submission of an application. There are also many procedures to go through, but if you have connections, it can actually be done quickly.
The application form and detailed purpose and deadline have been prepared, so Li Daning naturally doesn't need to worry about such matters himself.
But perhaps this piece of land was too important to him, so he still went along when negotiating with others.
I thought that with my connections, it would be easy to get the land, but I didn't expect it to go against my wishes.
He personally handed the application to the person in charge. After taking a look at it, the person nodded and said something that Li Daning found hard to accept, "Boss Li, there are already more than ten companies queuing up for the land you are looking at, so we are going to use an open bidding auction to select it."
"more than ten?"
This number shocked Li Daning, as it was far beyond his expectations.
The other party nodded, as if he was used to it. "This whole area is like this now."
Anyone with a little business acumen can now see the value of this place. He came relatively late.
Li Daning can take out the money, but if he wants to snatch the remaining dozen or so companies, he will have to spend a lot of money, and the budget invested in other things will have to be reduced.
After thinking it over, he decided to go and take a look first.
At present, he is unable to know the identity background of other bidding companies, so Li Daning is unable to analyze it, but it is possible that he may be able to find a loophole.
With this idea in mind, he asked one of his project managers to participate in the bidding.
That day, they were badly beaten by a dozen other companies.
The business and technical capabilities of other companies are far superior to his. In comparison, his plan seems much thin and perfunctory.
Moreover, those are domestic companies with good reputation and are willing to quote prices. He has no ability to compete with them at all.
I was originally confident and thought I could turn things around with this plan, but I didn't expect such a big mistake to occur at the first node.
He certainly felt frustrated, but his staff and his project manager were there to comfort him.
“Good things take time. Success usually comes after many twists and turns. If things go too smoothly, it’s not normal.”
Li Daning thought about it and felt that what he said was right.
If it doesn't work nearby, then look for it farther away. In short, this matter cannot be rushed.
While he asked his men to look for other suitable places, he also asked people to contact the employees in the Fujia Orchard and made a series of detailed plans for this purpose.
Thanks to his careful and thorough planning, the person he sent out successfully made friends with an employee.
The next step was to inquire about the orchard's affairs through various indirect means, gradually lowering the man's guard.
The young man who had just graduated from college was indeed a simple-minded person. Once, when he was drunk, he took the initiative to complain about his job.
"I start slacking off as soon as I get to work every day and continue slacking off until I get off work. I feel like I've forgotten everything I learned in college, but I'm pretty good at playing games."
When Li Daning's employees heard this, they almost thought they had heard it wrong.
Because according to their understanding, there are only five employees in the orchard, and these five people should be busy around the clock.
Without thinking much, I heard the other party start to struggle.
"If I quit this job, I'll never find another job with such a leisurely and high salary. But if I continue working here, I think I'll completely degenerate and become a loser."
He was probably drunk, so he was worried about this problem. When he walked out of the restaurant, the cold wind blew and he sobered up again. Thinking of what he had just said, he felt a chill on his back.
I was confused just now and said such outrageous words. I am so guilty.
He secretly warned himself that he must not go out drinking anymore. If one day he got drunk and asked the manager to resign, he would regret it when he sobered up.
It was getting late, so after saying goodbye to everyone, he quickly took a taxi home.
Actually, it doesn’t matter if I go home late. I can still catch up on some sleep in the lounge after work tomorrow.
I really don’t know where I can find such a perfect job after quitting my job.
On the way back, he thought about some of the things he had said when he was drunk, and suddenly realized that he had been too open with this guy he had just met, and it seemed like he wanted to say everything in front of him.
He was not a very cunning person, but he thought that he would go out drinking less with this guy in the future. This guy had a good alcohol tolerance and could not get drunk. He still preferred those who were on par with him.
So from then on, whenever the other party asked him out to play again, he would find ways to refuse.
It was okay once or twice, but after a long time, the person on the other side also realized that something was wrong and reported the matter truthfully to Li Daning.
Li Daning, who had been having bad luck recently, felt even more dizzy when he heard this.
There is no need to think about it, the other party must have noticed it and started to distance himself from him.
After hitting two walls in a row, he was so impatient that his first plan failed and he tried another one. Then a bold idea came to his mind.
"If only we could go in and take a look."
