Regret

Every house owner was handed a piece of contract to read first. If they had any questions, they could ask now. If they didn't, they could sign the contract right away and get the compensation.

Every piece of contract had two copies. Hotch and the others had worked for a long time to prepare over a thousand copies of the contract. Thus they could finish the paperwork efficiently today.

While they were busy signing contracts, Hongdy Real Estate heard the news that H Real Estate had also gotten the right of land acquisition in ZhengStreet. Han Shen, the chairman of Hongdy Real Estate, panicked and immediately asked for details.

The chief of the Development Section of Land and Resources Bureau told Han Shen the news. The two maintained a close relationship, so the chief called him the minute he heard the news. However, the chief didn't know the details either, and it happened too fast. They had heard nothing about it yesterday, but H Real Estate got the permission within a day like lightning.

Han Shen didn't ask further, but called Shi Kun who was the vice director at once.

Shi Kun knew nothing about it either. He wouldn't have known about it if Han shen didn't call him. After that, he called the vice director of Land and Resources Bureau without delay.

The vice director of Land and Resources Bureau told him that the government had already permitted it, and that the land acquisition was ongoing now.

Shi kun had mixed emotions. He failed to figure out the connection between H Real Estate and the government. Shi kun called Zang Guand asking him in anger,

"You had the right of land acquisition for so many days. How come you haven't successfully acquired the land yet?"

Zang Guand replied resignedly,

"Those citizens thought that our compensation isn't enough. They weren't willing to sell the land to us."

"You could have added to the compensation! It's a profitable deal after all. H Real Estate is already at the Zheng Street now. If you still want this land, go and grab it from them!"

Shi Kun snapped.

He had arranged the deal for Zang Guand, and he could gain a large amount of money from it too, so he hated to see Hongdy Real Estate lose it. They intentionally provided a low compensation in order to make a fortune from the deal, but in fact, even if they paid a regular compensation, they could still make a lot. Nobody wanted to miss this great chance of making money. Therefore, they were willing to raise the compensation if needed.

To their surprise, H Real Estate had already made an agreement with the citizens living in Zheng Street, and they were signing the contracts today. Shi Kun was also shocked that the government supported H Real Estate.

However, H Real Estate only had eight hundred million yuan in assets. It also had an ongoing project, they do it without partnership. So its funds weren't comparable to Hongdy Real Estate.

"I'll send people there."

Shi Kun knew the benefits of the deal, so he naturally wouldn't let it go.

During the lunch time, I bought many lunchboxes from a nearby restaurant handing them out to the workers. And the citizens who were still at the back would eat at home. It took time to sign the contract anyway.

However, at the same time, another three private cars arrived one by one, and attracted a lot of attention.

Many citizens changed their expressions when they recognized the people getting out of the cars. The man leading them was the chairman secretary, whose name was Sun Ye.

He was followed by Zhang Guang, who was the leader of this area.

Seeing Zhang Guang, I knew that the newcomers must be people from Hongdy Real Estate. They had to be here to compete with them.

No businessman would tolerate the fact that someone grabbed a deal away at the last second, but it was meaningless for them to show up now, because Zheng Street had already been bought by H Real Estate.

Hongdy Real Estate had almost settled the deal, but hadn't settled it yet. It was a common business competition between Hongdy Real Estate and H Real Estate.

If Hongdy Real Estate had already settled the deal,I wouldn't have grabbed it from them. It wouldn't have been legal either.

"They're from Hongdy Real Estate! Why are they here?"

"Do they want to compete for this land?"

"I'm afraid so"

Everyone started to discuss Hongdy Real Estate with hatred. Hongdy Real Estate had planned to acquire their land at a low price, so they had no positive comments towards it.

The people from Hongdy Real Estate were all shocked by the scene before their eyes. They didn't expect that h Real Estate was so efficient that the citizens were already signing the contract.

"What are you doing? How can you sign the contract right now?"

Zhang Guang was mad. If H Real Estate won this competition, he couldn't get benefits from Hongdy Real Estate either.

Zhang Guang slightly blamed Hongdy Real Estate because they had given a too low compensation. If they had provided a reasonable price, the citizens wouldn't have resisted. In that case, he could have smoothly gotten his share from the deal, but now, everything was gone.

"You wouldn't give us a reasonable price, but other company will!"

Din Pei sneered. He was more than happy to see Zhang Guang being so mad.

"Exactly, H Real Estate's acquiring price is much higher than yours. Only idiots would sell this land to You!"

Another citizen agreed.

"We can discuss it!"

Sun Ye said, although he knew that it was too late to say that.

" We protested for several days, but you weren't willing to raise the price. You simply wanted to take this land from us because no other companies dared to compete with you due to your network in the government."
