Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 688: The Madness of Wanting to Replace
"Mr. Hanyu, welcome."

Monday, October 3rd.

In the small hotel in Hong Kong where the Magic City Land Lease Tendering Agency has its office, Hideki Hanyu, who had just arrived, was warmly welcomed by an official who came from the Magic City specifically for him.

Although it was a warm welcome, Hanyu Hideki could see that there was something unnatural in the other party's expression.

There seems to be a faint feeling of apology.

Hideki Hanyu is not a fool. The fact that someone suddenly invited him to come in person when the bidding began must mean that something unexpected has happened.

Especially after he came today, he was taken directly to the room where they had discussed things last time to meet alone, which made the possibility of an unexpected situation even greater.

Therefore, after Hanyu Hideki sat down, he asked bluntly, "Is there any problem with the bidding? It's okay to tell me, we can solve it together."

When the people on the opposite side heard what Hanyu Hideki said, they looked at each other in confusion, and then the official staff who came to Hong Kong specially began to explain.

"In fact, the bidding went smoothly without any problems. It was just that the bid for lot 26 was a little beyond our expectations."

Seeing that the other party's words reached this point, the embarrassment on his face became more and more prominent, especially the feeling of being in a dilemma, which made Hanyu Hideki vaguely guess what the problem was.

In another time and space, the final transaction price of the No. 26 site in Shanghai was 2805 million US dollars, which can be said to be a number that was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Because in the estimation of Shanghai, even if the land can be leased for several million dollars, it would be considered a success.

Because all the costs spent by Shanghai-related companies on all the land to be leased, including the seven connections and one leveling, relocation, etc., added together, would only be a few million dollars when converted into US dollars.

So for a single piece of land, which was not even the largest piece of land to be leased, someone actually offered nearly 30 million US dollars. This was definitely something these people had not expected.

It was at this time and space that Hideki Hanyu proposed a backup plan.

No matter how much others offered, he would increase the price by two million dollars.

Hideki Hanyu guessed that if the lease price of this land was several million dollars, then he would not have much problem covering the cost.

But the price suddenly reached nearly 30 million US dollars, a figure that far exceeded the other party's psychological expectations, and immediately put the Magic City side in a dilemma.

He felt that the Magic City side must be worried that if he was still asked to cover the cost of this number, he might have some misunderstandings, such as that this was a setup to trick him.

After all, compared with his previous investment in the country, more than 20 million US dollars is not a big number. The country certainly does not want to cause misunderstandings due to a land lease, which would discourage his international friend.

However, even though he had guessed the crux of the problem, Hanyu Hideki still looked puzzled and asked, "Beyond my expectations, can you tell me more about it?"

As expected, after hearing his question, the official from Shanghai answered just as Hanyu Hideki had guessed.

"We originally estimated the transaction price for this land lease to be around 4 million US dollars, but now someone has offered 28 million US dollars, which is far beyond our estimate. Sir, do you want to reconsider the guarantee you originally agreed on?"

Sitting opposite him, Hideki Hanyu could hear the dilemma in the other person's words.

The other party was worried about asking him to cover the loss, fearing that he would misunderstand that they were setting up a trap.

But I was afraid that if I told him directly that I didn't need to cover the cost, he would misunderstand it as looking down on me.

So what he said was both careful and tactful.

Hanyu Hideki did not answer the question, but instead asked, "Can you tell me who paid the price of 28 million US dollars?"

As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, the faces of the people opposite him changed immediately.

These people obviously knew who the bidder was, and they also knew that the person was also doing business in Neon, and they were even more aware of Hideki Hanyu's status and strength in Neon.

At this time, Hanyu Hideki was asking about the person's identity, in case he was unhappy with the man's raising the price and wanted to retaliate against him.

Even though that man is a wealthy man in Japan, he cannot withstand the harassment of a powerful figure like Hanyu Hideki.

So the person who was speaking hurriedly explained, "Mr. Hanyu, the bidder didn't mean anything else, he just..."

However, Hanyu Hideki quickly explained, "Everyone misunderstood. I am just curious. I don't have any other intentions."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face and his words were confident.

"I think I already know why you called me here. Don't worry, as long as it's about money, it's not a problem for me. The backup plan remains unchanged. Since someone offered 28 million US dollars, my price is 30 million US dollars."

When Hideki Hanyu said the figure of 30 million US dollars, it was as easy as spending three dollars to buy vegetables on the street, without the slightest hesitation or embarrassment.

The people in front of him looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally the official confirmed, "Are you sure, sir?"

"It's only 30 million dollars. What's so certain about that?"

Hideki Hanyu said this with great pride and a nonchalant look on his face.

At this moment, the people opposite seemed to have just remembered that the handsome young man in front of them, who was younger than their children, was a super-rich man whose net worth alone could exceed 20 billion US dollars according to the information.

That's a terrifying number, even if all the bidders combined cannot compare to it.

Even if all of China's current foreign exchange reserves were taken into account, it would still not be comparable.

Thirty million US dollars seems to be nothing considering Hideki Hanyu's worth.

At this time, Hanyu Hideki continued, "If there are no problems, the backup plan will proceed as usual. The land lease can be completed as soon as possible so that I can allocate funds for investment and construction as soon as possible."

At this point, Hanyu Hideki put on a puzzled expression and asked, "I would also like to ask, how tall is the tallest building in China now?"

As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, the eyes of the people in front of him lit up instantly.

Because the meaning of Hideki Hanyu's words was very clear, that is, to build the tallest building in the country on the leased land. This was definitely great news for them.

So someone who knew the situation immediately said, "It's Pengcheng's International Trade Building, it's 160 meters high and was built three years ago."

When Hanyu Hideki heard this name, he immediately remembered that in his previous life he went to Pengcheng and saw the tall building with a "flying saucer" on its head.

However, in his memory, the position of the tallest building of Pengcheng International Trade Center did not last long, as it was taken away by Yangcheng International Building in 1991.

He couldn't remember how tall the Yangcheng International Building was, but it seemed to be just over two hundred meters.

The title of the tallest building in China, Yangcheng International Building, was taken away by Shenzhen Diwang Building in 1996.

When the King of Land Building took the title of the tallest building in China, its height was directly pushed up to over 380 meters.

As for the tallest building after the King's Land Building, it had to wait until the Guangzhou CITIC Tower in the late 1990s.

In Hideki Hanyu's plan, he really intended to go big.

After all, he had already acquired the first piece of land for foreign leasing in the country, so it would be a pity if he didn't also acquire the tallest building.

However, it is already the end of 1988. If the goal is just to defeat the current -meter Pengcheng International Trade Building, then as soon as the building is completed, it may be surpassed by the -meter Yangcheng International Building.

Therefore, if he were to build one, it would have to be the Yangcheng International Building that is over 200 meters tall.

As for whether to raise the building to almost 26 meters to block the Land King Building, he felt that it was unnecessary. After all, the location of Site was not good.

If we start construction now and complete it by the end of the 1980s, it will be enough for it to sit on the throne of the tallest building for five or six years.

As for whether to build more high-rise buildings in the future, it depends on whether we can get a better location in the future.

Anyway, he has no psychological barriers to investing domestically.

Now that he has money, he can spend as much as he wants.

Besides, investing the money in the country is definitely better than leaving it in Japan and paying taxes to the beasts.

This is also why, even though the Japanese bubble economy had not yet shown signs of decline, he was fleeing faster than international hot money.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki said immediately.

"One hundred and sixty meters? That's not that high. I think it would be auspicious if the height reached over two hundred meters.

Once the leasing procedures are completed, I will arrange for someone to contact the design company to conduct an on-site inspection. If we are going to build it, we will make it the tallest building over 200 meters high. "

As soon as he said this, the people opposite him couldn't hide their excitement on their faces.

At the same time, I was thinking that if we were to build the tallest building, the land at No. 26 might be a bit small.

But there is no need to rush now. After the land lease on the 26th is completed, we can contact Hideki Hanyu separately and then conduct a targeted bidding to lease the adjacent land to him.

Since it is the tallest building, the supporting facilities must naturally be beautiful.

The official immediately said, "Don't worry, Mr. Hanyu, we will complete the land lease procedures as soon as possible and will definitely not delay your construction period."

"That's good. Now that I've said everything I need to say, I'll take my leave if there's no problem. I still have some business to deal with in South Korea, so I can't stay in Hong Kong for long. I'll leave the rest to you all."

Hanyu Hideki said and stood up.

The people on the opposite side also stood up, came forward to shake hands with Hanyu Hideki and said goodbye, "Please rest assured, Mr. Hanyu."

"Pleasant to work with."

"Pleasant to work with."
-
When Hideki Hanyu left the bidding site, the work here was not actually finished yet, but the subsequent small matters such as paying the funds and finding a design firm would naturally be handled by his subordinates.

After all, Hanyu Real Estate has almost sold all its land in Japan, so the redundant staff should be laid off, and those who need to be found jobs should be found jobs.

He, Hideki Hanyu, makes money not to support idlers in Japan.

The Bentley Mulsanne drove all the way and soon arrived at Mount Kadoorie.

In a quiet and secluded European-style independent mansion in the shade of trees, Hideki Hanyu got out of the car and entered the house. Li Jiaxin took the initiative to help him put on slippers and take off his coat.

The beauty also took the initiative to ask with concern, "Dear, did your morning discussion go well?"

"It's going well. It's been handled."

While Hanyu Hideki was speaking, he had already put his arm around the beauty and sat down on the sofa.

After he sent Weng Hong away yesterday, he went to the airport to pick up Li Jiaxin who had returned from Taiwan, and then they moved into the newly purchased luxury house in Kadoorie Hill together.

Speaking of Mount Kadoorie, the most famous one in later generations should be the mansion at No. 35 that belongs to Liu Dehua.

Hideki Hanyu's set is not far from there, but Liu Dehua has not purchased it yet.

"Are you satisfied here?" Hanyu Hideki asked Li Jiaxin.

"Very satisfied." Li Jiaxin said happily.

For a vain woman, how could she not be satisfied living in such a mansion worth tens of millions?

Although Li Jiaxin moved in here, her mother and sister did not move in with her, perhaps for the convenience of work or perhaps because they did not want to disturb Li Jiaxin anymore.

However, Hideki Hanyu did not let them continue to stay in the luxurious apartment in Causeway Bay, but instead bought a low-rise building for them in Kowloon.

Whether he lived there himself or collected rent to make money, it was at least a way to get rid of the mother and daughter.

The person who was happiest about his behavior was Li Jiaxin.

Although the building was given to Li's mother and sister, the owner registered it in Li Jiaxin's name, which was actually a gift to Li Jiaxin.

This approach of helping Li Jiaxin gain face in front of her mother and sister has greatly satisfied the girl's vanity. It would be strange if the girl was not happy.

After answering Hanyu Hideki's question, Li Jiaxin immediately asked Hanyu Hideki, "Dear, when are you going to leave Hong Kong?"

"I have invested in a TV station in South Korea. The launch ceremony will be held this Friday, so I will go to South Korea in two days."

After answering, Hanyu Hideki asked, "Why, is there something wrong?"

Li Jiaxin nodded and replied, "I just moved to a new house, and I want to invite my sisters to my house for a housewarming party. Honey, can you come with me?"

The "sisters" Li Jiaxin mentioned are her so-called best friends.

As for the purpose of Li Jiaxin inviting her so-called best friends to the party, Hanyu Hideki knew without guessing that it was definitely to show off her new home to her best friends.

As for wanting him to be together, that is also part of showing off.

After all, Hanyu Hideki already knew this girl's personality very well.

Under her mother's deliberate training since childhood, this girl was born with the idea of ​​finding a rich man, otherwise she would not have easily hooked up with Hanyu Hideki.

Worshiping money, being snobbish, and loving vanity, his character speaks for itself...

Liu Luanxiong’s evaluation of Li Jiaxin in his previous life cannot be said to be completely correct, but looking at this woman’s life as a whole, it cannot be said to be completely wrong.

Of course, if you want to ask why Hanyu Hideki knew everything, he still kept this woman by his side.

The scumbag's answer was frank and clear. Of course, it was because the woman was beautiful and he, as a man, was greedy for beauty.

Otherwise, do you think that scumbags are looking for true love?
The money he earned cannot be taken with him when he is born, so if he doesn't spend it well, will it just rot?

Raising Li Jiaxin, a canary, may seem expensive, but for Hideki Hanyu it is just a drop in the bucket.

He doesn't even need to use the money he earns from other places. The income from Hong Kong alone is more than enough to support dozens of Li Jiaxins at the same time.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just say that Kamiya Eiichi relied on the bubble economy and teamed up with Liu Luanxiong to operate on both the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and manipulated the market in various ways. Now he can help Hanyu Hideki make nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong every month.

In addition, he reinvested in Pan Disheng's Disheng Group. Thanks to the continuous joint hype with Ayi International and LVMH Group, the total market value of the Disheng Group has far exceeded the peak of 5 billion Hong Kong dollars in the previous life, and is rushing towards 10 billion.

As expected, Hideki Hanyu continued to acquire shares, and now his share in the Disheng Group is almost catching up with Pan Disheng.

If he is willing to cash out these shares, it would be easy to make more than a billion Hong Kong dollars in a short period of time. And this is only part of Hanyu Hideki's investment in Hong Kong.

So, spending money is not a problem for Hideki Hanyu at all.

The question is how to spend money to make him happy.

For the time being, the young and beautiful Li Jiaxin still makes him happier.

So in response to Li Jiaxin's words, he nodded and replied, "Okay, when are you going to hold it?"

"Then let's do it tomorrow, but I still want to ask one thing of you, dear."

As Li Jiaxin spoke, she stood up and sat in Hanyu Hideki's arms, hugged Hanyu Hideki's neck with her arms, and said with pleading eyes.

"I have several sisters who are still in Taiwan. I would like to borrow your Yunshang to pick them up."

Hanyu Hideki said nonchalantly, "If you want to use it, use it."

Hideki Hanyu knew without a doubt that this woman wanted to borrow his private jet to show off.

Although it would definitely cost a lot of money to go back and forth, but as long as it makes him happy, he doesn't care at all.

Just then, Li Jiaxin said, "If we leave tomorrow morning, can I go with you?"

"No problem, as long as you don't mind the hard work."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he put his arm around Li Jiaxin and asked, "Now that I have satisfied you in so many ways, how are you going to repay me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jiaxin's face immediately turned red. She came up to the scumbag and whispered a few words to him.

"Haha, this is what you said."

As the scumbag spoke, he used his arms to lift Li Jiaxin up and walked towards the bathroom step by step.

……

Night falls.

In the mansion in Kadoorie Hill, Li Jiaxin, who has been serving Hanyu Hideki since noon, is extremely tired, but she still remembers to contact all her "good sisters" by phone to inform them to come to her house for a housewarming party tomorrow.

Hideki Hanyu came to the study room refreshed and contacted Mado Oki who had already arrived in the mainland to inquire about his work situation.

After the call was connected, Oki Madou first reported the actual situation of Zhaojia Logistics wages in the mainland, and then said.

"President, I just arrived at Tanaka Garment in Pengcheng tonight. I have discussed with the Chinese person in charge of Tanaka Garment and plan to select a few people from Tanaka Garment to help me tomorrow morning."

Hanyu Hideki said, "Okay, you don't need to tell me the details, just follow your plan."

Oki Madou said, "Yes, President, I will definitely deal with the matter here as soon as possible."

Hanyu Hideki urged, "It's better this way. I hope you won't let me down again this time."

Oki Mado hurriedly assured, "President, I will never let you down."

"so be it."

……

The next day.

Li Jiaxin started dressing herself up early in the morning.

The girl put on the new clothes, new bag and new jewelry that Hanyu Hideki had just given her. After making full preparations for the battle, she said goodbye to Hanyu Hideki and rushed to Kai Tak International Airport.

At the same time, Oki Madou, who was far away in Pengcheng, was also preparing to select personnel at Tanaka Garment's Pengcheng factory according to the plan.

After many years of development in Shenzhen, Tanaka Garment Manufacturing has now far surpassed its headquarters factory in Neon in terms of scale.

And as neon labor, material, and production costs continue to rise, this ratio will only become more serious.

Even Yukio Tanaka recently told Hideki Hanyu in a casual phone chat that Mrs. Tanaka is gradually closing down the garment factory in Tokyo and preparing to use the land for other developments.

On the contrary, Tanaka Garment's investment in China is preparing to expand further.

After all, Tanaka Garment is backed by Uniqlo, A-E International, LVMH Group, and TGC clothing brands, so it can be said that it has no shortage of orders.

And thanks to the "cast a wide net and catch more fish" investment support plan previously suggested by Hideki Hanyu, Tanaka Garment has now supported many entrepreneurs in China.

Although most of these entrepreneurs failed, many chose to sever ties with Tanaka Garment after they became successful.

But when the number is large enough, and because Tanaka Garment's investments are honest, even if the investors ultimately choose not to cooperate, it will not be too embarrassed, and gradually it has built a good reputation.

Therefore, among the successful people, some will still choose to continue cooperating with Tanaka Garment, and these people will in turn bring orders to Tanaka Garment.

During this process, Mrs. Tanaka gradually discovered that simply engaging in production and management was far less profitable than investing, which was faster and more convenient.

Therefore, Tanaka Garment's main focus in China has actually begun to shift towards investing in and supporting promising entrepreneurs. It has even jointly established a "Huayun" investment company with Hideki Hanyu for this purpose.

The subsequent expansion of Tanaka Garment in Pengcheng was not actually for Tanaka Garment itself, but more to help the investors under the auspices of "Huayun" investment.

And today, when Madou Oki was on the way to Pengcheng Tanaka Garment Factory and heard the person in charge talking about these things, he unconsciously had some new ideas in his mind about the future development of Oki Logistics in China.

However, the new idea still needs to be implemented in the future, but what he needs to do now is to borrow a group of people from Tanaka Garment.

For this selection, Oki Mado asked the person in charge of Tanaka Clothing to help recommend and lend out the personnel, but he also planned to select them himself.

While thinking about what to do next, the vehicle was getting closer and closer to Tanaka Garment.

……

In the printing and dyeing factory under Tanaka Garment in Pengcheng, workers who came to work this morning found that a new notice was posted outside the factory.

The general content of this announcement is that the factory plans to select a group of people to go on a "business trip" to support a cooperating logistics company. The treatment during the business trip will be preferential, and those who are willing can sign up.

The new employees of the printing and dyeing factory found this announcement interesting, after all, the factory would actually arrange for employees to travel to help others.

But the old employees are somewhat accustomed to it, because Tanaka Garment will invest in and support other people's entrepreneurship, and often arranges workers to provide support elsewhere.

If there was any surprise, it was that they were all related industries before, but this time it was a logistics company that had nothing to do with the company.

The workers had never worked in logistics and didn't understand what this industry was about, so only a few people signed up.

However, there was a young man in the crowd who walked towards the registration office without hesitation after seeing the announcement.

Seeing this, his companion hurriedly pulled the young man aside and asked, "Wang Wei, it's almost time to go to work, where are you going?"

The young man named Wang Wei answered, "Of course I signed up."

My companion asked in confusion, "You also know logistics?"

Wang Wei said casually, "Logistics is about delivering things. I have helped people transport things at ports before, so I am very familiar with this business."

After the young man finished speaking, he walked towards the registration office without looking back.

……

Wanwan, Taoyuan International Airport.

Li Jiaxin, who has arrived in Taiwan on the "Cloud", is sitting in the exclusive VIP room waiting for her "good sisters" to join her.

Li Jiaxin sat at the table, sipping the coffee brought by the waiter, while trying her best to maintain the elegant demeanor of a so-called "socialite".

Her already beautiful face and graceful figure seemed even more attractive when set off by the luxury brands, expensive jewelry, and the Hermès bag worth hundreds of thousands of dollars placed on the table.

Therefore, while waiting, from time to time there would be men who were confident in their charm who wanted to come up and strike up a conversation.

But how could Li Jiaxin possibly look down on these men?

After all, the girl who follows Hideki Hanyu has already seen the world.

She lives in a mansion worth tens of millions, carries bags worth hundreds of thousands, and comes to the airport on a private jet that's like a palace in the sky. But just ask, how many men who try to chat her up can provide these?
Besides, even if we put aside all material things.

There are few people in the world who can compare with Hideki Hanyu's face and figure.

Being used to such delicacies as scumbag men, how could she possibly be attracted by ordinary men?

Once a man fails to strike up a conversation and still wants to pester a woman, a female bodyguard in a black suit will immediately come forward and "politely" ask him to leave.

At this point, anyone with a brain would know that this beautiful girl is no ordinary person and would dare not bother her any further.

Of course, Li Jiaxin doesn't stay away from everyone.

After the program she participated in on Zhongyun TV some time ago was broadcast, it still attracted some attention.

Therefore, even in the VIP room, people would recognize her from time to time, come up to her to talk about the show, ask for an autograph or take a photo, and she would gladly agree.

In this way, Li Jiaxin waited in the VIP room until the agreed time, and her so-called "good sisters" also arrived one after another.

Among these "good sisters", there are people she met on the show, as well as people she met outside the show. After all, with the support of Hideki Hanyu and the title of "socialite", Li Jiaxin is doing quite well in Taiwan.

In addition to these people, there are also some special "good sisters".

For example, the girl who arrived late at the end.

When Li Jiaxin saw this, she immediately smiled and went up to ask.

"Tiaotiao, why did you come just now?"

The girl called Tiaotiao heard this and patted the suitcase in her hand and said, "I've finished recording the show and am going back to school, so I naturally have a lot of things to pack."

Li Jiaxin immediately pretended to be envious and said, "You are indeed a big star, Li Zi. He is taken more seriously than me when recording a show."

It turns out that the girl called Tiaotiao by Li Jiaxin was Li Zi, who was discovered by Cinema City while filming "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation".

After signing with Cinema City, he starred in two movies, "The Big Family" and "Flying Antelope", in which he played the leading role.

However, just last year, Li Zi suddenly chose to temporarily leave the entertainment industry and return to school to continue his studies.

At this time, it was not time for Li Zi to make a comeback, but Zhongyun TV Station, a subsidiary of Yunshang Entertainment, happened to be producing a special program for the Golden Horse Awards.

As "Flying Over the Antelope" was one of the award-winning works, Li Zi was invited to film the program. During the filming process, he happened to meet Li Jiaxin who was also recording a program at Zhongyun TV Station.

Perhaps because they were both from Hong Kong, the two quickly became good sisters.

When Li Jiaxin held a housewarming party this time, she naturally would not forget Li Zi.

When Li Jiaxin learned that Li Zi had finished recording the program and was about to return to Hong Kong, she simply invited him to take the "Cloud" together.

After Li Zi arrived, all the "good sisters" that Li Jiaxin came to Taiwan to meet were present.

Next, a group of women came to the "Yun Shang" with the help of a shuttle bus.

Before boarding the plane, the huge fuselage of "Yun Shang" gave everyone an indescribable visual impact.

You know, the Boeing 747 is a large wide-body aircraft with four engines. When parked there, it is almost seven stories high, and its length can even span a standard football field.

It goes without saying how shocking it is to see such a huge monster in front of you.

Of course, many of Li Jiaxin’s “good sisters” have ridden on a 747 before.

But the problem is that when such a behemoth is a commercial flight, no one cares how big it is or how much it is worth.

But when Li Jiaxin and a group of "good sisters" got off the shuttle bus, they pointed at Yunshanghao and said with pride in their tone.

"This is my boyfriend's private jet. I borrowed it from him specifically to pick you up this time."

Combined with the words, the feeling is naturally completely different when you think that this huge thing actually belongs to a private person.

Looking at the shocked looks of these "good sisters", Li Jiaxin's vanity could no longer be described as overflowing.

And she knew that the current shock was just the beginning.

As the maintenance staff reminded, "Ms. Li, the plane is about to take off, please board as soon as possible."

Li Jiaxin couldn't wait to invite all her "good sisters" to board the plane.

Next, as Li Jiaxin expected, the luxury of the passenger compartment first gave the women a "warning".

While Li Jiaxin's vanity was overflowing again, she finally waited until the plane entered a stable flight, and then hurriedly took her "good sisters" to visit the private area behind the passenger cabin.

Then, the interior of the plane, which was like a palace in the sky, immediately made the girls feel so shocked that it was difficult to describe it.

And when Li Jiaxin faced the shocked and envious eyes of her "good sisters", she felt extremely satisfied and her vanity didn't know where it went.

The young girl didn’t notice at all that many of her “good sisters” looked at her with more than just envy.

Jealousy, desire, disgust, hatred...

Or maybe it's a madness that wants to replace it.
