Chapter 39 Don't receive U.S. dollars
Walk along the red brick paved sidewalk. On one side of the asphalt road is a tall French sycamore tree, while on the other side is a chest-high shrub. A variety of European-style villas or manor buildings can be seen behind the shrubs. On the sidewalk, you can occasionally see foreign women wearing Chinese skirts in the cold wind. They wear gauze hats and walk on the road. If you don't know, just look at the people on the street and the buildings on both sides. You think this is the street of the country in Europe, but this is Shanghai.
Walking to a house, Xiao Yuren stopped, and Chen Moran also stopped. Through the chest-high shrub, you can see several European-style villas scattered in it, while in the middle of the manor, you can see a Victorian red-walled and white-column palace-style building. Its area looks very large, like a small palace.
"Is this the place you said?"
Chen Moran looked at Xiao Jianliang in surprise and asked. Two weeks ago, he told himself that before his reputation, what he needed was a house and a suitable place to settle down. If you buy it, you will have an amazing house. In that case, you will be famous in Shanghai when you move in.
"My boss, do you remember what I said before?"
Xiao Jianliang asked that his boss's behavior was different from others. Although he knew that he used his uncle's old factory to run the factory, according to him, the factory's machine has not been ordered yet, and the factory is just listed. On the other hand, he let himself find a suitable factory in the concession, and it doesn't seem to be In a hurry.
"In Shanghai, if you want to integrate into this place, you must live in the concession!"
"The houses here are all foreign-style houses. Except for foreigners, only the most decent people can live here! There is also a concession in Shanghai. What you value is your identity, and in addition to money and power, there is also this... house!"
When Xiao Qiang nodded, he pointed forward. In the past two weeks, when he became the manager of Chen's printing factory, he not only negotiated with Yanghang to buy printing machines and find a new factory, but also helped him find a suitable house.
"Money is not a problem. As long as you say, it will be amazing. After buying it, the whole people on the beach will know me!"
If Chen Moran hadn't said this sentence at the beginning, he would not have dared to stare at this house for fear of Xiao Yanren. In Shanghai, only a few tycoons would have stared at it.
Looking at this European villa-style house, Chen Moran is indeed a little moved. It may be the dream of many young people who are as old as him to have a cone in later generations, but the house price is deterring.
"His former owner is a British Fuli. He is a well-known tycoon in Shanghai. He hired a well-known British designer to build this mansion 25 years ago. At first, it covered only more than 80 mu, but after completion, it covered nearly 120 mu. Two years ago, Fuli sold it to the outside world because of the failure of investment. Otherwise, it would not be difficult to find a suitable house on this street, especially such a luxury house.
Xiao Yiren looks like you pick up a cheap one. It's really cheap one. In Shanghai, especially in the concession, the vast majority of houses are often rented but not sold, and it is almost impossible to sell houses in this place.
"Fuli Manor has a great reputation in Shanghai. As we all know, the Ministry of Industry Bureau will hold an auction a week later. As long as you bid this house at the auction, the whole Shanghai will know your name the next day."
He pointed to the house in front of him, which is far from a house, but a manor.
"From now on, there will be no more rich manor in Shanghai. It only needs a Chen's garden!"
Then, Xiao Yuren pointed to some of the surrounding houses.
"In this area, six of the ten households are the most decent foreigners in the concession. As for the others, most of them are rich people who have lived here for a long time. Some of them even settled here during the banditry. It can be said that all the most decent Chinese in the concession live here, as long as you buy this house, out of For all purposes, they will naturally make friends with you and listen to you. All they need is a house, and you will become the leading figure in the Shanghai Concession, at least the people who know the leading figures.
Looking at the house in front of him, Chen Moran nodded absent-mindedly. The price was not important. As Xiao Qiang said, if he really wanted to create a situation in Shanghai, I'm afraid there would be only this place.
De decent person?
Thinking of this word, the corners of his lips were gently raised. Who would have thought that he, a fake money, could also become a decent person, and he was scrambled to get to know, and perhaps a decent gentleman who would be proud to know himself in the future.
"Do you know how much it costs to buy this place"
"The Fuli Garden is checked by the Ministry of Industry Bureau. It will be auctioned in a week. If you participate in the auction, you need to pay a deposit of 10,000 taels. The reserve price announced by the Ministry of Industry Bureau is 750,000 taels! If the money is not in place within a week after the auction of the manor, the Ministry of Industry will confiscate the deposit.
"750,000 taels!"
As soon as Chen Moran opened his eyes, 750,000 taels! This is still the reserve price. It's a little... It's too expensive!
Although he felt that it was too expensive, looking at the huge house and thinking of the reward brought by this house, Chen Moran thought for a while and still nodded with satisfaction. Such a large flower yard can completely dig an underground factory building, and then print your own money underground. It is obviously not safe to put those machines in the factory outside the concession. If there is a ready-made basement...
"Does this house have a basement?"
"I'm not sure about this! If necessary, I can go to the Bureau of Industry to check the drawings in the afternoon!"
After a little hesitation, Chen Moran looked at the Western-style building behind the chest-high shrub.
"Buy it."
"You're sure!"
Xiao Yuren obviously didn't expect Chen Moran to agree so happily, saying that it was 750,000 taels, and I'm afraid only God knows what price will be raised at that time.
Chen Moran turned his head and looked at Xiao Yuren.
"Since there are so many benefits, why not buy it? Buy this place! After the auction next week, I'm going to change the name of this house. It's too vulgar. Let's call it Chen's Garden!"
"However, although there are many benefits to buying this house, you must know that it will take nearly one million parties to buy this house at that time, and now the company's start-up is in urgent need..."
Although Chen Moran readily agreed, Xiao Yanren did not have the enthusiasm of introducing this house before.
"Millions of taels! As you said, today's investment of one million taels, seven days later, the whole Shanghai beach knows my name. With prestige, will you still be afraid of not having money?
Seven days!
After six days, the batch of paper will be delivered to you. At that time, not to mention one million taels, ten million taels, you can also take them out by yourself, but the premise is that the Bureau of Industry must receive U.S. dollars.
"That... Weiyang, does the Ministry of Industry collect U.S. dollars?"
