“Compared to the insider information of the government department, that little illegal operation of stepping on the line is not worth mentioning,” Ling Xuewei said.
“Is insider information that important?”Lin Bai asked.
Ling Xuewei said, “It’s very, very important.”
“For example, during the land auction three years ago for the Yunding Villa project, I was tempted by that piece of land and almost went to bid for it.”
“However, Wang Hao advised me not to go. He said that there was a possibility that the land would be replanned and the attributes of the land would change. He advised me not to take the risk
“Therefore, I did not touch that piece of land. The facts later proved that Wang Hao’s insider information was very accurate. The attributes of that piece of land did change because of the government’s planning. Qingcheng Group went bankrupt as a result.”
Ling Xuewei stated without any emotion, “If we didn’t have the insider information back then and bought that piece of land, perhaps the company with the broken capital chain would have been us.”
“There are many similar things. For example, he could know in advance the project tenders for which the winning bidder had already been secretly decided. There’s no need to waste energy to prepare.”
“And for other competitors’ bidding prices, Wang Hao can also basically estimate accurately and then deduce how much we should bid.”
“The waters in the land bidding area are very deep. Many times, it’s not always the highest bid or the best proposal that will definitely win. There are too many things that cannot be laid out openly on the table.”
Ling Xuewei did not continue speaking, but Lin Bai already understood why she was unwilling to fire Wang Hao previously.
It had nothing to do with romance. It was purely because that fellow was very important to the company. Driving him away would be a great loss to the company.
Lin Bai muttered softly, “To know that the land planning would change three years in advance is really amazing. I really underestimated him.”
Lin Bai’s impression of Wang Hao was from the contact he had with him in the hospital.
He felt that Wang Hao was snobbish, rude, and arrogant.
This was Lin Bai’s entire evaluation of him.
Therefore, Lin Bai really did not expect that this fellow’s ability to work on the surface and his unspoken rules in private were equally formidable.
The one who chased him out of the company was not him, but Soaring Phoenix Real Estate instead.
“Since that’s the case, it’s all the more time to teach him a lesson.”
Lin Bai originally planned to deal with him slowly when he was bored.
However, it seemed that he couldn’t do it anymore. He had to kick him out of the S City real estate industry as soon as possible.
“Give me all the information about him as soon as possible. Also, check carefully who the government officials he knows are. Think of a way to recruit them.”
Lin Bai told Ling Xuewei.
Lin Bai did not believe that there was any true friendship between those government officials and Wang Hao.
They were willing to provide insider information for the sake of money.
As long as those insiders could be bribed with money, it was not a problem.
The problem was that they had to find those people who could be bribed.
Ling Xuewei smiled bitterly and said, “I’ve tried to investigate long ago, and I’ve checked many times. I’ve used all the methods I can think of but Wang Hao hid it too well. I couldn’t find a chance at all. In the past four years, I’ve never seen him interact with those government officials.”
Lin Bai couldn’t help but grumble, “His anti-investigation awareness is quite strong. Has that bastard trained in it before?”
Ling Xuewei said, “His major in university is biological engineering. It has nothing to do with real estate. According to his parents’ employee records, their jobs also have nothing to do with real estate. Moreover, his family background is very ordinary. It can even be said that they are very poor. To be honest, I have always been curious as to how he managed to bribe the people from the relevant departments.”
The more Lin Bai listened, the more he felt that Wang Hao was beyond his expectations.
“He majored in biology?! Let’s not even talk about it. It doesn’t even have anything to do with real estate. Why does he have to switch to real estate? How can he have government connections?”
Ling Xuewei smiled bitterly. “I also want to know how he did it.”
In fact, Ling Xuewei had tried to contact the staff of the relevant departments in private to build a closer relationship with them and give them some perks in exchange for insider information.
However, those government staffs were very cautious and did not accept the benefits she offered. Some simply refused to meet strangers in private.
Ling Xuewei had also used all kinds of connections in private and found all the people she could find to help introduce them.
However, up until now, she had not found anyone who was willing to provide insider information.
Sometimes, Ling Xuewei also felt that the benefits she offered were not enough to make those government officials break the law and discipline.
However, her wealth was more than a hundred times that of Wang Hao’s.
If she could not even bribe them, how did Wang Hao do it?
This question had been troubling Ling Xuewei for many years.
There had been no answer.
Lin Bai looked at the back-checked information that Ling Xuewei had sent him. The content displayed on it was basically the same as what Ling Xuewei had said.
Before entering the real estate industry, Wang Hao’s previous resume could only be said to be ordinary.
His grades were mediocre.
During college, he failed countless courses and almost couldn’t graduate.
He barely passed and almost couldn’t get his degree certificate.
After graduation with great difficulty, he couldn’t find a job, so he stayed unemployed for more than half a year.
Later on, he worked in real estate sales for half a year, and his results were at the bottom month by month. He was always on the verge of being fired.
After that, it was as if he suddenly faced a drastic change and inexplicably entered a small real estate company.
Immediately after that, that company soared too. They bought and sold land everywhere in the country. Just the difference in price between the purchase and sale was enough to make a huge profit.
After that, he was poached by Ling Xuewei.
That’s right, it was Ling Xuewei who took the initiative to poach him.
“His previous company took off because of his insider information, right?” Lin Bai asked.
Ling Xuewei nodded. “Yes.”
“It took me a lot of effort to find out that it was because of him.”
“Then, I gave him a lot of benefits before I managed to poach him over. So, to be honest, I’m really a little reluctant to fire him. The main reason is that I’m reluctant to let go of the connections he has.”
Ling Xuewei finally spoke her mind.
If it weren’t for the huge favor Lin Bai had given her, she definitely wouldn’t have fired Wang Hao.
However, the support of one billion yuan, as well as the fact that he had completely gotten rid of her father and stepmother’s entanglement, ultimately changed her priorities.
Wang Hao was very capable, and the connections he had were also very rare.
But it couldn’t compare to the favor of one billion yuan, as well as her freedom for the rest of her life.
Lin Bai asked her, “Do you regret firing Wang Hao?”
Ling Xuewei smiled and shook her head.
“I will never regret any of my choices.”
Because every choice of hers was made after weighing the pros and cons.
