England 1986

Chapter 238
In the evening of the next day, when the night was dark, Wei Dewei arrived at the hilltop villa in a very low-key Honda Crown.

It's not that he wants to keep a low profile, but that Allen deliberately confessed to him that he doesn't want too many people to know that he is now in Xiangjiang.

It's been a long time since I saw Wei Dewei, this old guy is completely different from his image two years ago.

What a good old lad he was.

Now his hair is also gray, and his waist can't be straightened up. I don't know if it's his own illusion, but Alan always feels that Wei Dewei is very haggard now.

Seeing that Boss Zha is coming soon, are you going to sell it badly?

Alan is too familiar with this trick, he is a veteran himself, he never thought that Wei Dewei would also play this trick.

And this old guy is cruel enough to him.

The preparations have been started a few months in advance, and the effect is completely different from Alan's haggardness caused by not sleeping one night in advance.

Wei Dewei's talents seem more real.

Looking at Wei Dewei's ill-fitting suit, Alan didn't get up to greet him, and pointed to the sofa next to him to signal him to sit down.

After the servant served tea, neither of them spoke first.

Wei Dewei looked at Alan who didn't seem to have changed much with emotion on his face, and he couldn't say that he hadn't changed much. Anyway, he hadn't seen Alan for almost two years. Your Excellency is still so young, but his hairstyle has changed. It's changed, but his complexion is fine.

The overall temperament is a little more restrained than before, not as aggressive as before.

"Patrice said you wanted to see me and have an interview with me, why don't you want to talk now that you see me?"

Allen crossed his legs, took out a cigarette from the coffee table, and handed Wei Dewei a cigarette, and just put the cigarette on his mouth, Wei Dewei quickly put down his handbag, picked up the lighter on the table and lit a cigarette for Allen .

Then he lit himself again, took a deep breath, and sighed: "I finally saw you, Your Excellency, I just didn't think of how to speak for a while."

"Haha, do we still need such a relationship?"

Looking at Wei Dewei who seemed relieved, Allen laughed.

This old guy treated him very well. We cooperated once, and Alan asked him to help take care of Li Zhi here, and he didn't say anything else.

Wei Dewei nodded, took out a thick stack of documents from his handbag and handed it to Alan.

"what?"

"Your Excellency, take a look, it's shocking!"

Allen opened the information with some curiosity. These are all statistics from several British-funded banks.

The statistical objects are several large real estate companies.

Looking at those huge sums, Alan can somewhat understand why Wei Dewei is like this.

How big is the entire Xiangjiang River?

Just looking at the area, it doesn't seem to be big. Looking at their buildings and population density, they seem to be very small.

But is Xiangjiang landless?
No, no, there is still a lot of land, but most of the land has not been developed.

In addition to the purpose of hoarding the high housing prices of Qila, there is actually another more important reason.

At present, a large part of the undeveloped land in Xiangjiang is controlled by various consortiums and families in Great Britain.

Seeing that the housing prices are so high, and even higher in the future, as long as they are slowly released, those lands are like countless gold bricks, representing endless wealth.

And if everyone rashly releases large tracts of land, there will be no benefit other than lowering housing prices.

Under such circumstances, large tracts of land are in a state of being undeveloped and not allowed to be developed.

And the more the land is tightened like this, the more housing prices will rise.

After all, Xiangjiang is so developed, the population must increase, these people must have a place to live, and there are so many commercial lands for companies and the like.

But now, since the signing of the treaty between the two sides a few years ago, the withdrawal of Great Britain is a foregone conclusion.

Under such circumstances, many British capitalists who still hold a large amount of Xiangjiang land are a little anxious.

In the past few years, land has been flowing out intermittently, and various development matters have also been put on the agenda.

However, this behavior of lowering housing prices made some groups that also held land that had not been sold feel a little disgusted.

Let's sell it?

Everyone will suffer.

Even if they are making money on the surface, but greed is human nature, if they don't get the expected benefits and make less money, this is a loss!

It's not chaotic outside yet, but the capital on the British side is about to fight internally.

Originally, it could still be suppressed, but this year the mutual competition, stumbling blocks, and dismantling have intensified, and they have all come to the fore.

In the end, it didn't mean that even Boss Cha had to act, so he came to maintain and deter him.

And now the information that Wei Dewei showed to Allen was the loans made by the various British-funded banks he could mobilize in relation to real estate, as well as a large part of the records of land sales by British-funded groups and so on.

Flipping through it casually, Allen closed the file and threw it to Wei Dewei with a smile: "What do you want? Get a piece of land to participate in?"

"How dare I, Your Excellency, you are really joking, His Highness is coming soon, am I rushing to hit the muzzle of the gun?"

Wei Dewei has some headaches. His duty is to maintain stability, which was determined before he took office.

Now he can't hold it anymore, the current situation is like this, how dare he want to participate in it, so desperate?
"Hmph, if it's me, since I can't solve the problem, then it's fine to solve the problem. You should be able to do it, right?"

Allen still smiled and continued to stimulate Wei Dewei.

It's not that these lands cannot be sold, but that they need to be sold slowly, while maintaining stability, slowly and according to the rules.

Now these people are rushing to sell, and they even started it internally. This is breaking the rules.

That being the case, can't you be ruthless?

Wei Dewei broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the bad idea Alan gave him.

Of course, your Excellency is not afraid. If he is really allowed to do this, there will be a big trouble at that time. At most, this person will be taken back to London, and then...
After being reprimanded by the queen and confined at home for a period of time, the rest of the shit is gone.

But if it was him, Wade Wei would not dare to do this, he is just a lord, a little knight, if he really dares to do this, then he will die without a place to bury him.

Looking at Wei Dewei with a troubled expression on his face, Allen finally stopped teasing him.

It’s still the same idea, stability maintenance, as long as some people’s liquidity is gone, things will be relatively stable.

This is Allen's earlier idea, and Wei Dewei also agrees.

And this can be regarded as a disguised form that can't solve the problem. If you solve the problem, the money is gone. What else can you do?
But for these British capital, Allen has nothing to do.

He can't handle it, and he doesn't want to take the initiative to make revenge.

After thinking about it, his new castle has already started construction, so he can't let himself pay for this money, right?

It has to be those people in Xiangjiang who have a heart for Daying to come out.

It's time to start the second phase of the long-lost large-scale high-end villa project in Wales.

After dimming the cigarette butt, Allen picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, thought for a while and said seriously: "His Highness is coming soon, I think so, after His Highness leaves, this place will definitely be stable for a while, we take advantage of this There is a time gap, you take the lead in making the second phase of the plan, but "

Allen thought about it again and said, "Prices have risen sharply in recent years, and many things are increasing in price. We have to take this into consideration."

Although the first phase of the last real estate project plan ended in failure, many rich people still have great confidence in Allen.

They are all looking forward to this Your Excellency's ability to restart the second phase of the plan, to engage in projects, there is no reason not to fail.

With the previous failure experience, wouldn't the success rate of the next plan be greatly increased?

Let's talk about real estate, as long as you have suffered losses once or twice, and you have experience later, as long as the funds are in place, isn't it just playing casually?

but.
This is all the wishful thinking of those rich people.

Allen never wanted to engage in any real estate projects in his territory.

His purpose was not pure from beginning to end.

Not to mention any real estate in his territory, he just hopes that Carmarthen will maintain the status quo. Alan doesn't even want to care about Carmarthen Town, which is so close to his estate.

Those local people lost their careers, and it is not bad to have a job. Allen never had the idea of ​​making them rich.

People, as long as you are full of food and drink, you have to have other thoughts, and it is easy to cause trouble.

It's better to let them maintain the most ordinary standard of living and live tightly.

In the entire town of Carmarthen, apart from the police station, Allen cared most about the Carmarthen Public Hospital.

He doesn't care about the rest, it doesn't matter if it's prosperous or not, even if he wants to go shopping, can't he go to London?
Carmarthen has to be quiet, that's where he lives, and Allen doesn't want to mess up his territory.

Hearing that Alan finally mentioned the plan for the second phase of the real estate, Wei Dewei's face brightened.

He is ready to let Xiangjiang do what he wants to do, just let it go.

In the remaining one or two years of his term of office, it is only reasonable to make a fortune. When the term of office ends and he returns to Great Britain, he will not care about Xiangjiang or not.

Wei Dewei glanced at Alan and thought for a while, "Your Excellency, have you ever thought about taking a piece of land here and saving it for a few years before using it?"

Hearing Wei Dewei's suggestion for the first time, Allen was still moved for a moment.

But, it was only for a moment, and this period is very delicate.

It is useless to get a small piece of land. If it is developed into those pigeon houses, Alan has no interest at all.

In other words, even if these projects make money, Alan dislikes such projects as being too low, and he is too lazy to do them.

If such a project is done, the Internet will be so developed in the future, and people will introduce this kind of pigeon-style house, saying that it is the project of Earl Allen of Great Britain, and he can't afford to lose this person!

But a large piece of land is too eye-catching, especially after those people have made a mess in the recent period. If he gets it at this time, he will be the most famous. Isn't this taking the initiative to rush to be the first bird?

He rushed over to get beaten up when everyone was ready to run away after earning money?

"No, you just need to be responsible for the second phase of the plan, and the rest. Let's talk about it later."

Allen took a look at Wei Dewei. He will resign in the past two years, but Wei Dewei will be followed by a Hong Kong governor who will come to replace him. It won't work.

Wei Dewei, who was pointed out by Allen's words, had a flash of disappointment in his eyes. He suggested that Allen's idea of ​​taking the land, in addition to being able to sell Allen's favor, he also planned to wait a few years later, when the situation stabilized, and then follow up. Allen made a splash together, but he didn't expect this gentleman to be so cautious, but he wouldn't even get involved in projects that would bring him a little bad influence.

"Okay. That."

"After I go back, before Christmas, I'll have someone bring the plan to you."

Allen made a decision, stood up and invited Wei Dewei to have dinner together.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening to send Wei Dewei away.

Allen, who was a little tired recently, hid in the study and looked at the materials Li Zhi had prepared for him.

Since she found a job for Li Zhi, she has been running between the mainland and Xiangjiang for a period of time, but most of the time she spends her time investigating around the mainland.

Anyway, she held the money Allen gave her in her hand, and if she saw any projects, she would invest in them.

Now these fragmented projects, gathered together, are very conspicuous.

Anyway, Allen was a little dazed holding the information in his hand.

From some kind of special porcelain from JDZ, to jewelry made by ancient methods and exquisite trinkets.There are also some ancient costumes and so on, all kinds of mess.

But these projects all have one thing in common, they are relatively small, require high craftsmanship, and are relatively expensive.

Like this one now.

Allen frowned and looked at the introduction on the information, saying that the bamboo basket fetching water was in vain.

But there is a master craftsman who made a small basket made of bamboo, which can not leak water. Not only does it not leak, but he can also raise fish in the basket!
This is not using any glue or anything, it is a bamboo basket woven by hand with bamboo strips.

There are still many things like this in the data, but Allen feels a little headache just looking at them.

It's okay to talk about jewelry, but where can I find a market for these weird things?
Some gringos don't understand the benefits of these things. If you sell these things to them, don't say whether it's Zhu Bajie who eats ginseng fruit. Allen thinks they are ruining things.

But if there is no market, this cannot last for a long time. You can't keep investing money without getting a return, right?
After lighting a cigarette, Allen scratched his head, picked up a gold hairpin on the desk and examined it carefully.

This is jewelry forged by ancient methods, and it looks like a phoenix is ​​hollowed out on it.

The whole phoenix seems to be clinging to a big tree. This craftsmanship is in sharp contrast with the old foreign jewelry that is only inlaid with gems.

That kind of material is good, this kind of technique is good, and this kind of shape looks very advanced.

Can you combine those weird things?
For example, with this kind of bamboo weaving craft, the finished bamboo baskets are golden.

Can this kind of bamboo basket be reduced in size and then made into a small jewelry box, or further made into a bag?

Doesn't this become a luxury in one step?

Also fucking green!
This kind of bag-making material, which is different from animal leather, as long as it is made, isn't it hanging those leather bags?

PS: I thought about it, I can't ask for leave rashly, I can't just ask for leave just because someone else made me feel bad, wouldn't I be sorry for the readers?

But it's still uncomfortable to think about it, block me every day, woo woo woo.
