Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon - Chapter 498
Sure enough, Li Zhiwen just returned to the room and was greeted by Li Juice.
“Brother Wen, I was lingering on that little sister’s bed yesterday, too, it’s a pity not to come and play in such a good country as Japan!” Li Jue said.
“A juice, you are wrong, there was a business to discuss yesterday, and it’s not that you didn’t know that a guy named Hetian Daji hit me!” Li Zhiwen explained while rubbing Li Jue’s belly.
“It means that you two men have been staying until now, Brother Wen, I remember that you are only interested in beautiful women, when did you have ideas for men.” Li Jue asked with a smile.
“Cough, cough, cough!” Li Zhiwen coughed excitedly by the juice.
“How can I be with him all the time, you know how powerful I am, but after talking about things yesterday, he insisted on pulling me to play, you know, he is very strong in Japan, I really can’t let it go Yes.” Li Zhiwen said.
“Hmph, I still don’t know who you are!” Li Jue said.
“Okay, okay, we’ll fly to Shanghai right away, go back to the place where I lived since I was a child, be happy!” Li Zhiwen said.
“I know, I won’t joke with you anymore!” Li Jue said.
Soon Li Zhiwen and others left Tokyo and boarded a flight to Shanghai. As for the private jet, they were stored in Tokyo.
After all, this time is a low-key time. How could Li Zhiwen fly to and from Shanghai on a private plane?
Li Zhiwen is not afraid of being informed by someone with a heart, but it is not good to be targeted by the British.
The flight from Tokyo to Shanghai has already been opened, and many foreigners travel to China in only two places, Shanghai or the capital, so it is not unusual for Li Zhiwen and others to appear in Shanghai.
Li Zhiwen and his party came out of Shanghai Hongqiao Airport and sat in three Hongqi cars.
The three Hongqi cars were resolved by the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency.
In fact, how could someone like Xiang Li Zhiwen not be reported to the mainland, even if he just sent his woman to Shanghai to raise a baby.
So before leaving Hong Kong, Li Zhiwen called the head of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency and asked him to solve the car problem on his behalf.
After all, the mainland is now the kingdom of bicycles. Without Xinhua News Agency, Li Zhiwen’s travel is a problem.
And Li Zhiwen also told the head of Xinhua News Agency’s Hong Kong branch the purpose of the trip.
On the other hand, the Xinhua News Agency only sent a car, not even the driver, and let Li Zhiwen solve it by himself.
As for the accommodation, Xinhua has proposed two plans. One is to stay at the Mahler Villa Hotel in Hengshan.
This villa was built in 1927 and was the residence of Mahler, a British man at that time. It is located at No. 30 Xiqin Road, Shanghai, covering an area of about 5,000 square meters, and the light garden has 2,000 square meters.
The villa was commissioned by the then-British Jew, Mr. Eric Mahler, to design and build the then-famous Canopy Architects.
In later generations, it has become a landmark building in Shanghai and recognized as one of the top ten garden houses in Shanghai.
The second is to live in the house of the Rong family, and the Rong family is responsible for the reception.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Zhiwen decided to wake up and receive the reception from the Rong family. After all, Li Zhiwen wanted to walk in and learn about this national capitalist.
Of course, if Li Zhiwen leaves, he does not intend to let Li Jue continue to trouble the Rong family.
Instead, he intends to buy a garden house or several garden houses in Shanghai for Li Jue to live in.
The car drove all the way to the villa of the Rong family, and Li Zhiwen saw a lot of people waiting outside the villa from a distance.
Li Zhiwen asked the driver to stop the car, then got out of the car and walked forward quickly.
“Hello everyone, my name is Li Zhiwen, I’m bothering everyone!” Li Zhiwen said.
“Hello Mr. Li, welcome to Rong’s house!” said the leader.
“What Mr. Rong said, I have no relatives and no reason in Shanghai. Fortunately, there is Rong’s family, otherwise there will be no place to sleep at night.” Li Zhiwen said.
“As long as Mr. Li is willing to come to the mainland, the door of the Rong family will be opened for Mr. Li!” said the Rong family.
“The weather is so cold, let’s not thank each other here, let’s go inside!” Li Zhiwen said.
“It should be so, it should be so, Mr. Li please!” said the Rong family.
“Mr. Rong, please!” Li Zhiwen said.
In this way, this large group of people entered the villa.
Li Zhiwen did not ask the name of any member of the Rong family, there is no need for that.
Because as long as the Xinhua News Agency’s Xiangjiang branch knows about Li Zhiwen’s arrival, the person in the capital will also know about it, so there is definitely one person in this group who can be heard by God, and the old man who may be talking to Li Zhiwen is.
And Li Zhiwen guessed it well. The leader is the head of the family of the Rong family. He is currently appointed as a member of the committee that drafted the Basic Law of Hong Kong.
Since it was getting late, the first thing Li Zhiwen and others did when they arrived at Rong’s house was to eat.
This time there were not so many people, only the old man and his wife accompanied Li Zhiwen and his party.
The meals are simple but not simple, with a total of six dishes and one soup, which is normal, neither slow nor too entertaining.
“Mr. Li, in a hurry this time, my cook mainly cooks Shanghai cuisine, not Hong Kong cuisine. I don’t know if it suits Mr. Li’s taste,” the old man said.
“Mr. is wrong. Whether it’s Shanghai cuisine or Hong Kong cuisine, it’s all Chinese, and I like to eat them all!” Li Zhiwen said with a smile.
“Mr. Li is right, there is something wrong with what I said!” said the old man.
“Sir, you don’t need to call Mr. Li, Mr. Li, it’s too raw, why don’t you call me Awen, I’ll call you Mister Uncle!” Li Zhiwen said.
“Then I will call you Awen!” said the old man.
“Uncle is right. After all, we have to stay in Shanghai for a while. It would be awkward if we kept calling him Mr.” Li Zhiwen said.
“Then uncle will make a cup first, and I will clean up the dust for you. You have worked hard!” said the old man.
“We have to thank Uncle. After all, without Uncle, we might have to sleep on the street!” Li Zhiwen said half-jokingly.
“Haha, how is it possible for you to sleep on the street, as long as you come to Shanghai in the future, you can come home!” said the old man.
“That feeling is good!” Li Zhiwen said.
“That’s right. After all, our Rong family has this ability, but Awen, you are in Xiangjiang, and there are many things you can help us with.” The old man said.
“Uncle can tell me anything, and I will never refuse anything within my power!” Li Zhiwen said.
“There is something I want you to help Awen!” said the old man.
“Uncle, please say it!” Li Zhiwen said.
“That’s right, I have a son who is not good enough to go to Xiangjiang with a one-way permit a few years ago, and has been doing business, so I hope you can help Awen a little bit!” said the old man.
“No problem, what’s my little brother’s name!” Li Zhiwen asked.
“Their generation happens to be the wise generation, and they have a single name with a strong character!” said the old man.
Li Zhiwen secretly said that he had guessed correctly.
Because in Li Zhiwen’s impression, there is a very powerful tycoon in Xiangjiang in the later generations. It is the Rong family, who is the person the old man said, and Li Zhiwen also guessed the identity of the old man.
“No problem, I will pay special attention when I return to Hong Kong!” Li Zhiwen said.
“Thank you Awen!” said the old man.
“Uncle, I also need your help here!” Li Zhiwen said.
Now that the identity of the old man was confirmed, Li Zhiwen also decided to show his loyalty.
“Awen, say it!” said the old man.
“That’s right, Uncle, you also saw that my wife is pregnant, so I want to buy a property in Shanghai for her to raise a baby, so I hope Uncle can help and see if I have a chance to buy a house Let her live in the bungalow!” Li Zhiwen said.
The old man had already been instructed, so he patted his chest and assured: “No problem, this matter is covered by me.”
As early as when the old man left Beijing, he was instructed that if Li Zhiwen wanted to buy real estate, he would fully support him, and all levels were not allowed to block him.
This is also an important reason why the old man dares to pat his chest.
Because daring to buy property in the mainland at this time is definitely with the heart of the mainland, so why not keep them.
“Thank you, Uncle!” Li Zhiwen said.
“It’s just a trivial matter, but Awen, you have to go see the house with me and see which one suits you. I’ll handle it for you!” said the old man.
“No problem, Uncle, I’ve been waiting for your orders recently. In addition, I’m also shopping in Shanghai to see if there are places worth investing in.” Li Zhiwen said.
The old man is overjoyed, the mainland is currently the most short of investment, and although Shanghai is the mainland’s metropolis, it attracts few investment.
The reason is that many Hong Kong people are willing to invest in Guangdong Province, but they have no interest in investing further north.
Most other overseas Chinese choose to invest in Fujian Province, because Fujian Province is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese.
Therefore, in order to attract investment, the team in Shanghai is very worried, and Li Zhiwen now proposes it, isn’t it just satisfied.
And this is also the consistent thinking of the capital, the introduction of foreign capital and overseas Chinese.
“No problem, I’ll go shopping with you in person these days!” said the old man.
Hearing the old man’s words, Li Zhiwen smiled and didn’t speak.
The guests of honor at the meal were very happy. After the meal, Li Zhiwen took Li Zhiwen and Li Jiaxin and Li Jiamin to stroll in the garden, while the old man went to the study to report his work!
“I didn’t expect such a beautiful garden house in the mainland!” Li Jiaxin sighed.
Li Jiaxin has been in Xiangjiang for many years, and has always been educated that the mainland is very poor and chaotic, but now she has a different view when she sees the Rongjia Garden.
“Of course, there are very dense garden houses around here. In the past, it was a concession and built by many foreigners. However, after the foreigners were kicked out, the house could not be taken out, so they stayed,” Li Zhiwen said.
“So there is such a secret!” Li Jiaxin nodded and said.
Li Zhiwen, on the other hand, smiled and did not speak, but just walked around holding Li Jue’s hand.
In fact, education in Xiangjiang is colonial education, and many smear the mainland, so it is not surprising that Li Jiaxin sighs.
……
Three days before Li Zhiwen arrived in Shanghai, he and the old man were hanging out in Shanghai, buying houses.
I have to say that there are people in the DPRK and China who are good at doing things. Now all the houses in Shanghai are open to Li Zhiwen, just to keep Li Zhiwen’s funds.
The old man took Li Zhiwen to visit a garden house on Fenyang Road. This is a garden house designed by Hudak in the late French Renaissance style.
Because the outer wall is white and looks like the White House, it also has the title of “Little White House in Shanghai”.
The other building is No. 333, Tongren Road, which was the residence of Wu Tongwen, the former Shanghai pigment king, with a total construction area of over 1,730 square meters.
Because most of its buildings and walls are made of green glazed bricks, it is called the Green House.
The house was also designed by Wu Dako.
When Hudak finished designing the “green house”, he boasted: “I can guarantee that even in another 50 years, the modernity of this house will still be ahead of its time, and even in another 100 years, I believe she will not be outdated. ”
And what Wu Dake said is right, Li Zhiwen still thinks it is very beautiful even if he looks now.
The third place is No. 675, Julu Road, a house known as the Garden of Eros.
The earliest owner of Eros Garden was Liu Jisheng, the younger brother of Liu Hongsheng, one of the four great kings of industry and commerce, a famous patriotic industrialist in old Shanghai. This is also Liu Jisheng’s 40th birthday present to his beloved wife.
And for this reason, Hudak designed the building with the story of Eros and Prüch as the theme, witnessing the romantic love between the two.
On the central axis of the courtyard is the Prsch fountain, which is the soul of the entire courtyard.
It is said that this statue was specially made in Italy and shipped back to the Liu family, perhaps because he thanked the Liu family for giving him a chance to realize his architectural dream.
Because it has been Hudak’s dream and pursuit for many years to create a model of courtyard architectural style with the story of Prschach.
Li Jue likes this garden house very much, because his meaning is very beautiful.
And these three garden houses are all designed by Hudak~www.mtlnovel.com~ Speaking of this Hudak, he is very famous. There are too many buildings in Shanghai related to him.
Hudak, whose full name is Laszlo Hudak, is a Hungarian-Slovakian and an internationally renowned architect.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Wu Dake came to Shanghai, and in the past 30 years, Wu Dake left more than 100 buildings in Shanghai, and made too many garden houses in Shanghai.
In the end, after the old man obtained the consent, Liu Chenghao bought all three garden houses and paid a total price of two million US dollars.
For Li Zhiwen, this price is very cheap. In later generations, these garden houses are priced in units of 100 million. Now they have taken it down for 2 million US dollars, which is too cheap.
For Shanghai, they are also very satisfied, because they have obtained two million US dollars of foreign exchange, which can be used to purchase the equipment needed by the factory and do some things within their ability.
All in all, both parties are satisfied with the transaction.
During this time, Li Zhiwen also traveled all over Shanghai and had ideas for the next investment.
