Of course, if this had happened in the past, Bing Tianyi would never have thought of it. However, having returned from that later period, he was naturally very aware of future development trends.
Sitting on the sofa, after listening to Mo Yonggang's understanding, Bing Tianyi nodded and smiled, "Yes, that's the point. Whether we are local or in Lan City, people from the deep mountains have always rushed to the county town, while those in the county town keep going out. Over time, who are we building all these buildings for?"
Although Mo Yonggang understood this reasoning at that moment, curiosity still arose in his heart. He looked up and couldn't help but ask Bing Tianyi, "Boss Bing, while that's true, have you thought about what we would do if we stopped this industry?"
"Hehe, that's a matter for two years from now. By then, I will definitely have ways to make money," Bing Tianyi replied frankly with a smile.
However, Mo Yonggang felt somewhat uneasy. Two years could pass in the blink of an eye. What if they were still in the same situation two years later, with real estate development not making money? Which direction should they develop then?
"Boss Bing, please tell me more; otherwise, I just can't shake this feeling of unease," Mo Yonggang said earnestly, his face filled with anticipation as he looked at Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi thought for a moment and then nodded with a smile, "Alright, I don't mind sharing. Two years from now, we will mainly focus on two paths: one is entering the rural market, and the other is entering the online market. Of course, what I'm telling you now is just a general direction; I will research how to operate specifically within these two years."
Seeing Bing Tianyi say this, both of them smiled and said in unison, "I have to admire you. I've been in this industry for so many years and still don't see things as clearly as you do."
After hearing Mo Yonggang's words, Bing Tianyi quickly smiled and said, "Well, brother, there are reasons why I can think of these things."
"Boss Bing, you didn't calculate this out, did you?" Old Huang asked after Bing Tianyi finished speaking, astonished. If that were true, wouldn't it mean that Bing Tianyi was just throwing money away?
Even if there were some basis for fortune-telling or similar practices, predicting future development trends was not something that could be done through divination.
Seeing Old Huang's astonished expression, Bing Tianyi curiously asked, "What's wrong? Do you think it's impossible?"
"Well, I really don't know how to respond," Old Huang said helplessly. He wanted to say it wasn't possible but had to admit that the company's development over the past two years was evident. Yet he couldn't shake off his reservations; after all, fortune-telling had never seemed respectable to him.
Noticing this reaction from Old Huang, Bing Tianyi stood up and smiled saying, "Alright, let me tell you the truth; this isn't something I calculated."
"Then how did you know?" Old Huang asked curiously.
Bing Tianyi smiled without answering and walked directly out the door.
A week later, Bing Tianyi had nearly finalized the land deal. He entrusted all remaining matters regarding land acquisition to Old Huang and Mo Yonggang.
Of course, in terms of land compensation prices, Bing Tianyi was significantly higher than the usual land acquisition standard of fifteen thousand per acre in the urban area. This increase was akin to delivering a heavy blow to the real estate developers in Lan City.
That noon, Bing Tianyi was watching television in his hotel room when his phone rang. Lowering the volume, he answered the call with a smile, asking, "May I ask who this is?"
"This is Wang Debiao. Come to my company now," Wang Debiao said bluntly.
Bing Tianyi had anticipated that Wang Debiao would come looking for him, but he did not expect him to act so quickly. He had just discussed the specific price with Mo Yonggang that morning, and Mo Yonggang was likely still negotiating with local contacts; he didn't expect Wang Debiao to arrive so soon.
"Alright," Bing Tianyi replied with a nod. He stood up, smiled wryly as he changed into a clean outfit, and headed towards Wang Group.
In the bustling area of Lan City, a luxurious office building stood tall, which was one of the iconic structures of Lan City. This building happened to be the headquarters of Wang Group.
Although Wang Group started with real estate development, over time their business had expanded beyond that scope. They now encompassed internet marketing and film culture, and even owned several mining companies; their business scale was considerable.
However, Wang Debiao understood the principle of not drawing too much attention to oneself. Despite his wealth, he did not act aggressively. In whatever he did, he never sought to make a showy display. Thus, while outsiders knew that Wang Debiao was wealthy, they had no way of knowing exactly how much money he had.
Bing Tianyi stood in front of the office building and sighed inwardly, thinking, "If only my business could grow this large someday."
As he stepped inside and reached the lobby on the first floor, before he could even walk to the elevator doors, two men dressed in black approached him directly and said, "You must be Mr. Bing."
"That's right."
"Please come with us upstairs."
Bing Tianyi frowned and asked curiously, "Who are you?"
"Chairman Wang sent us to wait for you here," one of them replied quietly.
Bing Tianyi nodded in agreement and entered the elevator. Upon reaching the eighteenth floor and being led to the door of Wang Debiao's office, the two men stopped and said to Bing Tianyi, "The chairman is inside."
Bing Tianyi stepped forward and knocked on the door. Inside, Wang Debiao's deep voice called out firmly, "Come in."
Pushing the door open, Bing Tianyi found Wang Debiao sitting at his desk with a stern expression. The office looked somewhat different from what Bing Tianyi had imagined; he expected someone like Wang Debiao to have an office filled with antiques and calligraphy. However, upon closer inspection, aside from ordinary items like a desk, bookshelves, and a tea table, there was nothing particularly valuable in sight.
"Have a seat," Wang Debiao sighed helplessly.
Bing Tianyi nodded and sat on the nearby sofa, pretending to be curious as he asked Wang Debiao, "Chairman Wang, may I ask what you wanted to discuss with me today?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Debiao stood up directly and looked at Bing Tianyi, shouting sternly, "What do you mean? Hmph, what are you trying to do? Although I agreed to let you come to Lan City for development, I didn't give you permission to act like this!"
Bing Tianyi continued to feign curiosity, frowning as he asked, "Chairman Wang, what's wrong? What exactly did I do wrong?"
"Alright, alright, stop pretending. Just tell me how you plan to handle this next," Wang Debiao said, feeling exasperated. The situation had already escalated, and most of the real estate developers in Lan City likely knew that Bing Tianyi was a classmate of his daughter, Wang Ziyan. Moreover, he had met Bing Tianyi before. If this matter was not handled properly, it could very well affect him.
If things truly turned out this way, all the reputation he had built over the years in Lan City would vanish. Of course, that was not the most important thing.
Wang Debiao understood that if he completely lost control of his reputation, the real estate industry in Lan City would plunge into fierce competition.
Seeing the helpless expression on Wang Debiao's face, Bing Tianyi smiled and said, "Uncle, actually..."
"Shut up! Who are you calling uncle?" Wang Debiao interrupted bluntly.
"Please let me finish," Bing Tianyi said with a sigh of resignation.
"Speak," Wang Debiao replied angrily.
At that moment, Bing Tianyi finally asked Wang Debiao, "Chairman, have you ever thought about monopolizing the real estate development in Lan City?"
Just that one sentence left Wang Debiao stunned as he looked at Bing Tianyi. That statement completely answered a series of questions in his mind.
After a long pause, Wang Debiao finally spoke with a cold smile at Bing Tianyi: "You little rascal, you've got quite the nerve! Do you really think monopolizing the real estate development industry in Lan City is feasible?"
"It certainly isn't feasible right now, but I can guarantee that it will be absolutely possible in two years," Bing Tianyi said confidently.
"Alright then, tell me how you're going to monopolize it," Wang Debiao asked directly.
Bing Tianyi looked at Wang Debiao and replied with a question of his own: "I think I don't need to explain that part, do I?"
"Speak!" Wang Debiao said with a clear and firm voice.
Bing Tianyi smiled, got up, and walked to the window, standing there admiring the beautiful scenery of Lan City. Bing Tianyi murmured, "Chairman, to be honest, raising the land price is just the first step, and it's the simplest one. The second step I plan to take is to lower housing prices."
"You've gone mad; you are absolutely insane. Young man, have you thought this through? This could bring an unprecedented disaster to the real estate development in Lan City," Wang Debiao said helplessly.
"This is a disaster for real estate developers, but it's a benefit for the common people of Lan City," Bing Tianyi turned around and said seriously to Wang Debiao.
Wang Debiao was stunned again; he had never seen a young person with such determination in their eyes—steadfast, upright, and full of positive energy.
After a few seconds, Wang Debiao took a deep breath and sighed softly, "Continue."
Bing Tianyi nodded and spoke frankly, "By raising the land price, I am certain that other real estate developers will think I will raise housing prices next, which would allow me to make a significant profit. So during this period, most of them will likely take this opportunity to increase their prices as well. However, once my main project is completed in a year, I will initially compete with them."
"Do you mean that you will also raise housing prices at first?" Wang Debiao asked curiously.
"Yes. Currently, good locations in Lan City are around seven thousand per square meter; I can directly set my main project price at ten thousand per square meter."
"Do you think anyone will buy it at that price?" Wang Debiao asked with a cold laugh.
"I'm not actually planning to sell it at that price. Why would I set the price at ten thousand per square meter if I really intended to sell it for that much?" Bing Tianyi said with a strange smile on his face, looking curiously at Wang Debiao.
