On the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, Sebastian, the head of the Elk Organization who had arrived from Belgium a day earlier, also left the hotel and took a van driven by Wei Ran himself to the downstairs of the offices of Suisui's classmates.
Under the guidance of Wei Ran, we went upstairs and walked into the conference room. Suisui, who was wearing a formal suit, and Anfiya, who was also wearing a formal suit, and the temporarily borrowed finances had been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Sebastian, let's talk to them about the next thing." Wei Ran said with a smile.
Sebastian was obviously prepared for this. After greeting him seriously, he took out the financial statements prepared in advance from his briefcase.
Wei Ran couldn't help with what happened next, so he simply helped order a few milk teas on his mobile phone and then drove away. He rushed to the high-speed rail station all the way, took the high-speed rail to Jinmen, and took a taxi to the former place.
Love story.
He was about to go to Kazan, so he naturally wanted to come back before leaving and make some arrangements.
However, when he opened the locked iron door and passed through the erected dust-proof green net, he was inevitably a little dazed.
At this time, there was still a thick layer of dust-proof nets erected outside the small building, but through these dust-proof nets, he could see that the appearance of the small building had returned to what it once was like as a love-letter apartment!
Is this also made of metal? Wei Ran subconsciously glanced at the tattoo on the tiger's mouth, and then looked around.
There is already a set of bluestone tables and chairs under the ginkgo tree. Not only does a boiler room appear next to the north wall, which is no longer of much use, but there is also a row of six equipments placed next to the wall.
A large water tank full of briquettes - just like 80 years ago.
After looking at the empty garage, Wei Ran quickly walked up the steps, suppressed his excitement, pushed open the broken wooden door that was not locked at all, and walked into the lobby on the first floor.
It's a pity that the hall still looks like a rough room, except that the storage room seems to have been carefully decorated.
Gently pushing open the door of the storage room, what he saw was exactly the same as before. When he opened the locked basement cover again, when Wei Ran walked into the basement, he found the food and wine on the four Eight Immortals tables put together.
It's gone, and the stage has been moved back to the center of the basement.
However, the large mirror was still there. I carefully pushed the mirror open and walked into the printing room again. Nothing changed here.
Secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Wei Ran turned around and returned to the ground, carefully locked the entrance to the basement and the window of the storage room, then closed the door and climbed up the stairs to the second floor.
There is also a room on the second floor that has been restored to its original appearance - the darkroom.
Pushing open the door, Wei Ran couldn't help but smile. All the printing equipment was still there, and even a box and two mousetraps were placed on the top of the cabinet.
Without opening the prankster box, Wei Ran stepped on the steps and continued to go upstairs. Although the appearance of the third floor was restored to its original state, and the inside was a rough room, there was also one room that had been restored to its original appearance - that room
The study hides the staircase leading to the attic.
Gently pushing the door open and opening the cupboard, Wei Ran climbed up the narrow wooden stairs to the attic.
Although the attic is empty, it is extremely clean. Especially the midday sun shining through the dormer windows makes the inside very bright. And on the floor in the center of the beam, there is a bunch of keys.
.
Wei Ran bent down to pick up the bunch of keys, weighed them gently, turned around and left the attic with a smile, and went all the way down to the first floor.
After walking around the small courtyard, he also noticed that behind the kitchen and next to the boiler room, there was a Xifu Begonia that was half a meter tall and as thick as an arm.
Around this crabapple, some straw for insulation was carefully stacked, and the top of the head was covered with a tattered quilt that came from an unknown source.
On the other side, next to the corner of the wall, there is not only a large lotus vat, but also a smiling flower tree growing in the gap between the vat and the corner.
"I don't know what happened to that big parrot in the end..."
Wei Ran looked at the hanging bird stand on the branch of the smiling flower tree and muttered with an unstoppable smile, then walked forward, took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
Almost less than half a minute after he hung up the phone, an imported SUV parked at the door.
Pushing the car door open, a middle-aged man wearing a down jacket and a big red helmet walked out first, followed closely by two young men wearing two white helmets, and
A young woman also wearing a white safety helmet but a slim suit skirt also walked down.
The mobile phone number Wei Ran just dialed was obtained from Qin Er, that reliable but unreliable scumbag. Naturally, these people were also greeted by him.
Perhaps because of this, the only middle-aged man wearing a red safety helmet and holding a bag under his arm bent down and trotted over to warmly shake Wei Ran's hand without even waiting for him to enter.
"Hello, Mr. Wei," the middle-aged man said enthusiastically, "Thank you for taking care of our business."
"Hello, Mr. Bai," Wei Ran asked politely.
"Nothing is wrong, just call me Lao Bai!"
The middle-aged man took the initiative to lower his body and kept saying, "We just took a look outside. This small building is really beautiful."
"Brother Bai has been kept waiting for a long time," Wei Ran responded politely. He could naturally tell that the other party was implying that they had arrived long ago.
"Nothing"
Mr. Bai immediately waved his hand, "We have never been to Five Avenues before, so we thought we would stop by and take a look around in advance. I have to say, this location is really good."
"Come on, let's go in and take a look." Wei Ran actively invited.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Is this exterior wall newly built?" Mr. Bai asked curiously.
“Made by relatives at home”
“This craftsmanship is really good”
Mr. Bai immediately praised him and then asked, "Mr. Wei..."
"Just call me Wei Ran." Wei Ran spread his hands, "I'm not the boss."
"Then Brother Wei," Mr. Bai asked kindly as he followed Wei Ran inside, "How will Brother Wei decorate it?"
“No need to change the appearance”
Wei Ran paused and added, "Don't touch any grass, wood, bricks or tiles in the courtyard. They are all old cultural relics, especially the ginkgo tree in the courtyard and the two small trees at the back.
move."
"Don't worry, I won't move." Mr. Bai said immediately.
"This is a storage room. No workers are allowed in, and there is no need to decorate it."
As he spoke, Wei Ran opened the door of the storage room and took a look at the other party. He pointed at the locked basement entrance and said, "There is a surveillance camera inside. If it is opened, the business will be voided immediately."
"record"
Mr. Bai immediately gave instructions to the three followers following him, and then made a promise, "Don't worry, I will send the most trustworthy people to guard the place 24 hours a day to prevent anyone from entering."
Hearing this, Wei Ran nodded without saying anything, and took the group to the second and third floors. In front of them, he locked the darkroom on the second floor and the study on the third floor with the key he just found in the attic.
, and made the same requirements as the storage room basement.
After making his request, acting like a villain first and then a gentleman, Wei Ran took out a stack of color photos from his briefcase and handed them to the other party.
These photos were all taken by him at various places in this small building for cousin Mei Xiang and others. He scanned them into the computer and then colored them. At the same time, he also coded them all for Mei Xiang and others.
"Just decorate it according to the style in the photo," Weiran made his own request, "How to install the floor heating, fresh air, and air conditioning, please look at the design drawings for details."
"Don't worry, leave these to us!" Mr. Bai promised again, patting his chest, "We will definitely come up with renderings you are satisfied with as quickly as possible!"
“One last request”
As he spoke, Wei Ran walked to the window, pointed to the shabby iron door downstairs and said, "Please help me change a door with better privacy."
"Don't worry!" Mr. Bai assured him, patting his chest again.
"In this case, this house will be handed over to you." Wei Ran said apologetically, "I still have to return to the capital in a hurry, so..."
"understand!"
After Mr. Bai finished speaking, he immediately waved behind him, "Zitao, drive Wei... Wei to the station."
"okay!"
One of the young men wearing a white safety helmet immediately said enthusiastically, "Teacher Wei, please."
"I won't bother you anymore"
Wei Ran waved his hand and declined the other party's kindness, got into the online car-hailing car he had just arranged and drove non-stop to the high-speed rail station.
Almost immediately, he took the latest intercity high-speed train and returned to the capital. When he drove back to the company of Suisui and her classmates, he happened to see Sebastian with Suisui and Anfiya.
, and her classmates and friends were nesting in the conference room, guarding two induction cookers, and eating hot pot on stools.
The table originally used for meetings was not only filled with hot pots, but also boxes of duck products, braised pork and milk tea. There was even a watermelon cut in the middle.
No need to ask, just looking at Sebastian Nahu's unseen appearance when eating, you can tell that he was extremely satisfied with this unique but extraordinarily hassle-free reception meal.
"How's the talk going?" Wei Ran, who was hiding outside the conference room, waited until he saw Suisui coming out, and immediately asked with a smile.
"Hey! Come with me!"
Suisui proudly hooked her hand at Wei Ran, led him into the office farthest from the conference room, and closed the door.
"It's settled"
After Suisui waited for Wei Ran to sit on the sofa chair, she sat on his lap familiarly and explained proudly, "The White Rose Ski Resort and the castle are all permanently leased in principle.
For us to use."
"Permanent?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, "How permanent?"
"It's almost as permanent as the previous concession," Suisui said with increasing pride, "The first lease agreement was signed for 99 years."
"How many? Ninety-nine years?!" Wei Ran looked at the girl in his arms in surprise, "How did you do it?"
"It's just an exchange of interests."
Suisui explained with a smile, "According to Mr. Dominic's will, neither Sebastian nor the Elk Foundation nor even Kou Kou have the right to sell real estate. And since Mr. Dominic passed away, they have no right to develop the two properties."
A castle.”
"so what?"
"So not only does the Elk Foundation not have the right to make money from the two castles, but it also has to be responsible for the maintenance costs. For this reason, it has to maintain a maintenance team led by Leya and her husband. With two castles, this is a lot of money.
money."
After Suisui finished speaking, she looked at Wei Ran, "But according to the will, you have the right to use Timov Castle. Note that it is just the right to use, and there is no obligation to maintain it. I even suspect that this is the American lawyer Carlos
A deliberate loophole in the will."
"so..."
"right!"
Suisui said excitedly, "This is the bargaining chip for negotiating with Sebastian. I rented this castle from you in the name of the Golden Fleece at 15% of the castle's annual net profit."
The castle, mind you, is rented from you by the Golden Fleece."
"So Party A and Party B are both you?" Wei Ran finally understood.
"You can think so"
Suisui rubbed her fingers proudly, "Also captured was the White Rose Ski Resort behind the castle. This ski resort is free of charge."
"Free?" Wei Ran asked in astonishment.
"It's just free, but it's not free."
Suisui corrected, "The price is that the Golden Fleece needs to bear the wages of Leya's team and the maintenance costs of Timov Castle."
Without waiting for Wei Ran to speak, Suisui continued, "Besides, we have to go to that castle as soon as possible."
"What are you going there for?" Wei Ran asked in confusion.
"Put away the things inside about Mr. Dominic, and then Kou Kou can go there." Suisui paused and continued, "In addition, I am going to talk to Mr. Lothar Zeger and get a good price.
Lease the White Rose Ski Resort to him."
Seemingly satisfied with Wei Ran's widened eyes, Suisui said proudly, "This rent should be able to equal Leya's salary for the team responsible for maintaining Timov City... I forgot to tell you, in order not to be legally
Let Kou Kou know that this castle belongs to the Elk Foundation, so starting from today, the castle will be renamed White Rose Castle."
"Kou Kou knows?" Wei Ran asked seriously after a moment of silence.
"Know"
Suisui obviously knew what Wei Ran was thinking, and said equally seriously, "This will also be good for Kou Kou."
"How?" Wei Ran asked particularly seriously this time.
“We rented the castle and the ski resort, which equaled the expenses of Léa’s team and the expenses of maintaining the White Rose Castle. In this way, the Elk Foundation only has to be responsible for the maintenance costs of the Elk Castle in the Hürtgen Forest.
This is equivalent to saving a lot of money, which is equivalent to adding an extra amount of investment funds every year, which is equivalent to helping the Elk Foundation reduce its burden."
Taking a deep breath, Suisui continued, "Furthermore, the 15% of the net profit from renting the castle did not go into the Elk Foundation's account, but into Kou Kou's account as hush money for her not knowing the existence of the castle.
.
Correspondingly, she will also use her status to invite many wealthy people to be guests there. This can be regarded as a disguised increase in her net worth."
After saying this, Suisui lowered her voice and said almost close to Wei Ran's ear, "There will also be an opportunity for us to get in touch with the so-called nobles in Europe. If we can join that dirty circle, or if we can
By becoming friends with the dirty people in that circle, we are invisibly equivalent to becoming Kou Kou's help and support.
So no matter from which perspective, we are worthy of Mr. Dominic’s trust, and this is a win-win result in which no one loses.”
"Will anyone remember Timov?" Wei Ran asked abruptly.
"Will anyone remember this now?" Suisui asked with the same serious attitude.
Hearing this, Wei Ran fell into silence. After a long time, he finally smiled and said, "Okay, that's it. It's good that there are always people going there. If Kou Kou can go there often, it doesn't seem like a bad thing."
"Speaking of this, Kou Kou's grandfather recently found a girlfriend." Suisui suddenly gossiped.
"What did you say? Koko's grandfather? Mr. Dominic?" Wei Ran's eyes widened in surprise, and then he subconsciously said, "Isn't the old gentleman met with a marriage fraudster?"
"What can I lie to him about?"
Suisui looked at Wei Ran as if he were a fool, "Your memory is really bad. The person who inherited the inheritance is Kou Kou, not Kou Kou's grandfather. In addition, his girlfriend was from the town where they lived.
A... um... widow who runs a bakery."
"How old is the widow?" Wei Ran asked curiously.
"So big!" Suisui gloated and gestured to her chest with both hands.
"Don't be like that bastard Ji Ma," Wei Ran said, dumbfounded, and slapped the opponent's hand away.
"I heard from Kou Kou that the little widow seems to be only about forty years old," Suisui said with some gloating, "Maybe he will have an uncle or aunt soon."
The job of guarding the tomb is not easy...
Wei Ran looked at the bustling street scene outside the window and couldn't help but murmured. At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly look forward to it. Looking forward to how great it would be if one day, those people who walked out of the Love Letter Apartment could live so freely.
