In 2010, 148 foreign-funded companies were able to occupy the first place in the Chinese market in terms of market share. By 2015, there were still 57 companies left that had the first market share in China. In just five years,

The year has been shortened by nearly two-thirds.

Where have these companies gone? Of course, they cannot compete with Chinese companies and have lost their market.

By 2021, only seven foreign-funded companies can take the first place in the Chinese market in their market segments. They are IBM, Intel, AMD, Tesla, Apple, IKEA, and Coca-Cola.

It is estimated that by 2022, Tesla may be kicked off this list, and their market share in China is likely to be replaced by BYD.

The release of eight pieces of land at the same time is a rare big piece of land. All the major real estate companies are eager to get this piece of land.

Every company also knows that it is impossible to swallow these eight pieces of land alone. Although many companies have the financial capacity, when facing many competitors, even the top real estate companies do not have the ability to go it alone.

What's more, when the government sells land, it must also consider a balance. It is impossible to hand over all the land to one developer and let one developer dominate. Without competition, it will also be detrimental to the local real estate industry.

Since it is impossible to acquire all eight plots of land in one go, major real estate companies have narrowed their goals and strive to "secure one and compete for two" or "secure two and compete for three."

At the same time, the intelligence and analysis departments of these companies also began to take action. They began to collect intelligence and analyze which land other companies would bid for.

Everyone also wants to avoid the strong and encounter the weak. For example, if an industry leader like Vanke is bound to win a certain land parcel, then other companies will definitely choose to avoid it and choose other land parcels.

For another example, if the company bidding for a certain land plot is not very strong, then other powerful companies will consider joining in. If they get the land by chance, they will make a lot of money!

Some companies with relatively good relationships even communicated in advance and divided the cake between these eight pieces of land. When the bidding came, each would look after its own affairs without interfering with each other.

…

During the pre-bidding briefing, bidding companies were required to send responsible persons to attend, so Ma Bin came to the scene in person.

The heads of the major real estate companies basically all know each other, and some of them are relatively familiar with each other. They have drank wine, eaten and played with swords together.

But on this occasion, not many people knew Ma Bin.

The scale of Dongshan Real Estate is not comparable to those of large real estate companies, and as it is a rising star, it rarely has the opportunity to participate in such occasions, nor can it make friends with the big bosses in the real estate industry.

But the appearance of Ma Bin's unfamiliar face still attracted the attention of many people.

"Which company does that group of people belong to? I don't think I've seen them before!"

"Yeah, I haven't seen it before either. It's a new face. Is there a major change in the top management of any company recently?"

"I haven't heard any news about this! And this person must be a newcomer. If any of us makes high-level changes, we won't use a new person!"

"Does anyone know this person?"

"I know him. He is Ma Bin, the general manager of Dongshan Real Estate!"

"Dongshan Real Estate? I seem to have heard of it, but I also seem to have never heard of it.

"Anyway, it's not a company from our south. It should be from your north!"

"I remembered that this company is a new company that just emerged two years ago. It has always been doing projects in the Shanshan and Shaanxi areas! It is well-known in the local area."

"There are many coal bosses in Shanshan and Shaanxi areas. I heard that they have made a fortune in recent years, and many of them invest in real estate."

"Behind Dongshan Real Estate is the coal boss. Have you heard of Dongshan Mining? It is a large-scale coal production company in China, and it is the financial backer behind Dongshan Real Estate."

"Is it really run by a coal boss? Hahaha, a bunch of bumpkins, what do they know about real estate!"

"Coal diggers, just dig coal honestly. Why do you come here to join in the fun? You have come all the way here, and then go back empty-handed, aren't you asking for humiliation!"

"Maybe they just come here to learn more!"

A sarcastic discussion arose.

As the saying goes, peers are enemies. Competition in the real estate industry is already fierce, and everyone will naturally reject outsiders.
