Chapter 104: Mr. Xu, the Richest Man in the Republic
() Seeing Hu Donghai bleeding, Shengzi was shocked. He hurried to the corner of the door, took a snow-white towel, and was about to wrap it for Hu Donghai. Hu Donghai, a clinker, waved his hand and interrupted Shengzi.
He moved, glared and said anxiously: "The person named Xue? Inspection Office? Is that person named Xue Xiang, director of the Inspection Office?"
Shengzi didn't understand what was wrong with Hu Donghai, but he didn't dare to tell her: "I only know that his surname is Xue. Weren't you there when we played mahjong in the afternoon? I just heard that he is from the inspection room, Sea Dog."
Brother even asked Fatty to call Lao Zhang to seduce him!"
Hu Donghai slapped his chin hard, and his heart was boiling. He was originally the think tank around Mr. Xu. This time, the Xu family was in a critical period when the giant snake turned into a dragon. If he broke through, the hidden dragon would rise into the abyss.
, soaring in the nine heavens, and it is precisely for this reason that he was sent to Snake Mountain by Mr. Xu, because when the Xu family succeeded, something important had to land here.
But what Hu Donghai didn't expect was that at this time, Xue Yanei would get involved again. When it came to the quarrel between Xue Yanei and Mr. Xu, he knew in his heart that Mr. Xu would never hide anything from him, and he was even more kind.
After studying Xue Yanei, I came to the conclusion that the Xue family was powerful and Xue Xiang was a powerful figure. He could only be a friend, not an enemy.
However, given that Mr. Xu and Xue Yanei were at odds, and based on Hu Donghai's analysis of Xue Yanei's past deeds, the probability of turning the conflict into friendship was too low. The only best option was to avoid this person and slowly fade away.
, or even forgotten.
Mr. Xu also quite agreed with Mr. Hu's judgment, so Mrs. Xu had plans to have nothing to do with the Xue family.
Who would have expected that at this critical moment for the Xu family, that person would get involved. It really felt like enemies were not getting together.
But at this moment, Hu Donghai had no time to sigh. He was filled with self-blame. When he was rubbing hemp with Hai Gouzi at noon, he also heard that Hai Gouzi had taken over a task to deal with an official named Xue.
But how did he know at that time that this person named Xue was the Xue Yanei? If Shengzi hadn't pointed out the "Inspection Office" at this moment, he Hu wouldn't have been able to get around.
Thinking of the consequences of that person's involvement, Hu Donghai's scalp went numb. Immediately, he pushed Shengzi away and rushed out.
……………………
Mingzhu International Hotel. This hotel was built in the 1930s and can be said to be the most luxurious hotel in Mingzhu.
No, not long after the country opened, the hotel began to undergo major renovations under the kind care of the municipal party committee and government. It took three years and was finally completed. Today's International Hotel is magnificent and magnificent, and it really has the momentum to surpass the hotels in Beijing.
.
At this time, the night has not yet fallen, and the hustle and bustle of the day started early at the International Hotel.
In the luxurious box on the top floor of the International Hotel, Paul held a huge magnifying glass and stared at the calligraphy on the left wall. While moving the magnifying glass, he said: "Mr. Chen Kaizhen is indeed the most important person in the current literary world of your republic."
He is the leader. Not only is his writing good, but his calligraphy is also outstanding. I think he is much better than your great leader!"
Paul was looking at two poems written here by Chen Kaizhen in 1959. The Pearl International Hotel at that time was truly the best in the Far East. Countless celebrities of the Republic of China had left their footprints here, including Madam Chiang Kai-shek.
and Shaoshuai Zhang.
Xu Longxiang, who was standing at the window sill and enjoying the scenery with a glass of wine, looked unhappy when he heard this. He turned around and said: "You are just a piece of grass on the wall, how can you be compared with the leader? Mr. Paul, although you are a republican, you are not fake."
There is an old saying in our republic that the word is like the person, although it has not yet been
It must be completely accurate, but there is some truth to it. Mr. Chen's handwriting is free and elegant, but it is dissolute and has no character at all. I happen to have a copy of the original work handed down by the leader. I have changed it for you to appreciate.
I really want to know what it means to be majestic and powerful, to swallow mountains and rivers with force!"
Although Paul had not been in the Republic for a long time, he knew how much influence the late leader had on the country. Especially young people of Xu Longxiang's age, most of them had great feelings for him, no, they were fanatical.
.
Paul shook his head and was too lazy to continue discussing that person with Xu Longxiang. He changed to the topic and said: "Mr. Xu, you invited me here tonight not to see the scenery or enjoy the services of this international hotel. If so,
With all due respect, the scenery here is far inferior to that of New York, and even though the facilities of this hotel have just been renovated, they are far inferior to any star-rated hotel in the United States!”
Xu Longxiang frowned, but ignored Paul's sarcasm, "Mr. Paul, you know very well the purpose of my visit. Let's not talk in circles. How have you considered the matter of joining forces? I'm not bragging. If it weren't for my funds,
I'm so nervous that I can't move at all
If you come to eat this piece of fat, I advise you to give up the idea of taking advantage of the situation. I don’t have to start this project immediately. I can afford it if it takes three to five years. I’m afraid that by then, your Citibank will want to
Once you get involved, it’s hard to find a way to get in!”
After saying that, Xu Longxiang suddenly opened his arms, raised his head, and assumed a posture of embracing the world. Finally, he stretched out his hand and pointed forward, only to see the mighty Pujiang River rolling eastward, "Look, Paul, don't say you haven't done anything for me."
This river makes my heart beat. You are rich and I am powerful. It is a match made in heaven.
What's more, I'm not a free-handed wolf. You will know my strength soon! When it comes to this matter, success or failure, you have to give me a happy word today. My temperament will affect you.
You probably also know that I have never been a long-winded person, so I am decisive!"
At this point, Paul's identity is self-evident. This person is the same Aaron Paul that Xue Xiang and Sumei met in the cafe near the municipal party committee compound that day when the little guy first arrived in Mingzhu.
He claims to be the representative of Citibank in Shanghai, and his words are even more voyeuristic towards the Soviet Americans.
It is true that what Aaron Paul and Xu Longxiang planned this time is not trivial. The place Xu Longxiang pointed to just now is east of the Pujiang River.
Speaking of the Pujiang River, it can be regarded as the golden waterway of the Pearl River. It is the last tributary of the Yangtze River before it merges into the sea. Speaking of it, the entire Pearl River has also prospered because of it. But now the two sides of the Pujiang River are very strange. The west of the Pujiang River is so prosperous.
The Pearl City Center is included, but the east of the Pujiang River is still full of wilderness and farmland.
And Xu Longxiang's eyes are set on the east of the Pujiang River. Of course, the entire east of the Pujiang River is vast. Unless Xu Longxiang is extremely wealthy, it will be impossible to swallow up the entire east of the Pujiang River. In fact, Xu Longxiang is not that big.
In terms of appetite, people are just eyeing the golden waterfront east of the Pujiang River, and want to take the land along the coast into their arms.
If Xue Laosan could understand Xu Longxiang's intentions at this time, he would definitely be amazed. Because he comes from a later generation, he naturally knows how prosperous the east of the Pujiang River will be in the future. It can be said to be the engine of the rapid economic development of the entire Pearl River, and the land on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is not the same.
Every inch of land is worth a lot of money. If Xu Longxiang really makes this deal, the future richest man in the Republic will probably be none other than Xu Longxiang!
Xu Longxiang's vision is indeed amazing, and his background is also amazing. He has made careful preparations and worked hard for more than a year. He has almost all the connections between the upper and lower levels. As long as Paul can reach an agreement, the Mingzhu City Government will probably immediately
Can submit the Pudong development application report to the State Council, and he, Xu, is 80% sure that after submitting this report, it will be approved smoothly, because Paul has US dollars, a lot of US dollars!
As a result, the development to the east of the Pujiang River may be a full seven years earlier than in another time and space.
But Xu Longxiang asked Paul to make a decision, but Paul remained silent. After a long time, he smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, a white wolf with nothing. This metaphor is not a good one. I am not a wolf. I also believe that with your family wealth, Mr. Xu,
It’s definitely not empty-handed, it’s just you Mr. Xu
It would be too unfair to only use connections without real money. If this is the case, our capital is too high. To put it bluntly, if you, Mr. Xu, cannot provide the capital, we may not be able to do it ourselves.
After all, if you have money, why don’t you worry about not being able to make friends?”
"Are you threatening me?" Xu Longxiang took a sip of red wine, his thin lips were as red as blood, "Paul, you should know who I am. In Mingzhu, there may be things I can't do, but if I want to do bad things,
,hey-hey……"
"No! no! no!" Paul waved his hands repeatedly: "Mr. Xu, I think you misunderstood me. I have no intention of leaving you and going it alone, but since we are doing business, we all have to show sincerity.
, if you still hope that we will provide funds, I can tell you now, there is no chance, because such a large amount of funds cannot be decided by me, a small representative in Shanghai, even though I am also a Citigroup employee.
Director li, even if this plan is submitted, the probability of passing it will probably not exceed 1%."
Xu Longxiang said: "Paul, I think you misunderstood me. When did I say that I would only allow you to contribute the capital?"
"Oh? Who did you drag with again?"
"The cake is so big. It's enough for me to feel heartbroken if I ask you to share a big piece of it, Paul. Am I still willing to share the profit?"
"What do you mean?"
"Is it possible that I, the Xu family, can't contribute the capital?"
"Xu's? Haha, Mr. Xu, don't blame me for being too frank. Your Xu's trade and that Tianzao Pavilion do seem to be of some scale, but to leverage such a large investment, you have to tear off the skin and bones. I
Even if you think about it, it may not be enough to fill the gap in your teeth!"
Paul's words were sarcastic, but Xu Longxiang was not angry at all, with a faint smile on his face, "Paul, don't speak too early. Everyone has a trump card hidden behind them. My trump card, you really are."
Do you see clearly?"
Paul came to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward, "What's the trump card? Could it be that your ancestor was also a noble, and left you a national treasure such as the Jade Seal?"
Xu Longxiang glanced at Paul angrily, "You have read too many fantasy novels recently. To tell you the truth, I was..."
At this moment, the door of the luxury box was knocked open, and Scarface hurried over. When he got close, he whispered a few words into Xu Longxiang's ear. The latter's complexion changed drastically and his whole body started to tremble. (To be continued.
