Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 283 Accidentally bought a building

"Brother Quan, didn't you pay it the day before yesterday? Besides, we don't do anything anymore. We just live by ourselves. According to Brother Dong's rules, we don't have to pay it."

The old man was a little frightened, but he still mustered up the courage, bowed his waist and asked the leader in a low voice.

"Brother Dong's rules are whether you have the final say or Brother Dong has the final say. This is Brother Dong's new rule. What you handed in the day before yesterday was from last month. What you handed in today is from this month. I will come back the day after tomorrow and accept it. One month, I forgot to tell you, next month’s price will go up, it will be one thousand.”

"Why, you're not convinced. If you don't pay today, it will be a thousand if you come and collect it tomorrow. We can't let us run away in vain. We have to have tea money anyway, hahahaha."

The old man lost his temper, groped around for a while, took out all the money he had, and reluctantly put it together. Before he could count it, he was snatched away. The short mule in the lead nodded and said with a evil smile.

"It's only three hundred and five, okay, okay, we'll come back later, we won't ask for more, plus the cost of tea, let's give you another three hundred and five, give you some time to borrow money, borrow more at a time, you will be like this in the future The store collects one thousand every two days, old man, remember it clearly for me, don't let me run out of money again."

The protection fee is not charged like this. It is ridiculously high. No small shop can survive this way. This place seems to have a bit of a story.

It was quiet down below. They must have paid the money to keep safe. The two people upstairs looked at each other. It turned out that this was the case. This building was probably being targeted.

Wu Qianqian raised her head in embarrassment. "Mr. Zhu, I'm sorry. I didn't ask clearly and almost caused trouble for you. Let's go look elsewhere. As long as the price is right, we will definitely find the right one."

The first thing she did was messed up. Wu Qianqian was embarrassed and wanted to build a good relationship with this young rich man and do more business in the future. Mr. Zhu was very polite, seemed easy to deal with, and didn't look lewd.

Zhu Xuefeng was considering the pros and cons. He was very pressed for time and didn't have many opportunities to look at houses during the day. This place was very good and met his needs, but now he was being targeted.

But a small gang seems to be able to play for a while. Although in a few years, Hong Kong will become panic due to some major event, and the property market will fall further, but compared with having a foothold at the beginning, these are nothing. In an instant, there is After making up her mind, she turned around and looked at Wu Qianqian.

"Miss Wu, that's it. Buy this small building and the yard for me. The rest should be easy for your bank. As for other things, you don't have to worry about it."

Wu Qianqian looked at Zhu Xuefeng in surprise. She knew very well that Mr. Zhu was the one who accompanied him to handle the identity information today. Wasn't this the case that the dragon could not cross the river? She did not take the famous Dong Ge from Tsim Sha Tsui seriously. She, a layman, had heard about it. , Brother Dong has hundreds of people who have been living in Tsim Sha Tsui for many years.

"Mr. Zhu, do you want to think about it again? These people are not easy to mess with. They are all involved with the police. If something happens, calling the police will be useless."

Wu Qianqian thought that Mr. Zhu might have pinned his hopes on the police and did not understand the current situation of the police and criminal families in Xiangjiang, so she kindly reminded him.

"Don't worry about this. I have a way to deal with it. Just get it at a suitable price. I'll leave all the procedures to you and leave everything else to me."

This is not the mainland. Zhu Xuefeng can use it unscrupulously. The small gang organization will not become a burden to him. If necessary, he can directly deal with it.

We have plenty of manpower in this area, but the only problem that is difficult to deal with now is the immigration issue. Besides, millions of people have been able to come here in the past few years, so there should be loopholes in this area.

Looking at Wu Qianqian, this can be considered a talent, quite clean and tidy. Besides, after having been in the bank for so many years, she should have no problem in dealing with people. Let's take a look at the negotiation. If possible, would it be more appropriate to directly recruit her and train her? People are too time consuming.

The old man came up with the little girl with a deathly expression. The guests upstairs must have seen it. There is no hope for this deal. Everyone knows that you should not go against Brother Dong in Tsim Sha Tsui, otherwise, it may be easy to lose everything. .

But all my life savings were spent on this small building. Now the shops below have been driven away, and the workers in the factory upstairs have also been scared away. After all the savings have been used to pay wages and liquidated damages, there is nothing left. My daughter It was not easy to see hope until I entered a prestigious school, but now even tuition fees have become difficult.

"Zhu Xuefeng, Miss Wu, I didn't hide it from you on purpose. I really had to do it out of necessity. I hope you two can understand. I don't know if you two are still willing to continue talking at this point."

The old man still had a glimmer of hope. After all, he was the first guest to come upstairs in the past few days. He looked at the two people with hope.

Since everything was left to Wu Qianqian, Zhu Xuefeng would certainly not interfere. He just pointed at Wu Qianqian and signaled that she was the plenipotentiary. This was something that still had to be discussed. The old man suddenly became energetic and looked at Wu Qianqian expectantly.

"Old sir, you are treating us as villains and hiding important information..."

The old man was embarrassed and suddenly fell into a disadvantage. Wu Qianqian knew it in her heart and used her best skills to cut down bit by bit.

"Sixty thousand is too low, it's really..."

...

"Seventy thousand, it can't be more than that. We still have to spend a lot of money to settle Brother Dong, as you know..."

After a lot of bickering and back-and-forth, they finally reached an agreement with 70,000 yuan. Wu Qianqian turned back and looked at Zhu Xuefeng, not knowing that this handsome boy was dissatisfied.

Zhu Xuefeng didn't speak during the whole process. He was very satisfied with Wu Qianqian's performance. Wu Qianqian was able to win the initiative tactfully, argued with reason, and did not appear to be overbearing. The whole process was remarkable.

Looking at the old man with a look of death, and then at the little girl who looked a little sad, although 70,000 yuan is a lot, it may not even be half of the actual value of this small building. This advantage is a bit big, and people also He is just an ordinary person, so there is no need, but since Wu Qianqian has negotiated, it is definitely necessary.

"Well, let's not add insult to injury. Qianqian, let's just settle the deal for 80,000 yuan. However, I still have to keep an eye on this building during this period. Aren't they coming back in a while? The protection fee won't be paid. They want You can hit or smash as you like, just write it down and remember it clearly. As long as it's not about demolishing buildings or preventing fires, you don't have to worry about anything."

The old man was mixed with surprises for a while, and he added ten thousand for no reason, but he had to look after the house, and he didn't pay the protection fee, but he didn't care. What kind of trick was this.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhu. This is the building they want. They won't demolish it. I'll show it to you. No problem."

"Miss Wu, I'll leave the rest of this to you. This is your hard-earned money. Take it first. When everything is done, we'll find a place and I'll ask you to order."

Wu Qianqian understood that as long as the matter was done, Mr. Zhu would still contact her, probably for follow-up business, and she was very happy.

"Then thank you for taking care of me, Mr. Zhu. When the time comes, I'll take the order."

After signing the agreement, the rest was handed over to Wu Qianqian, and the old man started chatting.

It turned out that the old man was also from outside. He had a son who was an official and brought a lot of good things to the family. As a result, he sent a letter to his family in 44, so the old man took his pregnant wife, collected the goodies from home, and ran away in one breath. Xiangjiang, my wife went there after giving birth to her current daughter.

After working hard in Xiangjiang for many years with this wealth, I bought this building, rented it out, and opened a garment factory. The products were sold to Europe and the United States. The business was pretty good. However, after only a few years, I was targeted by others. , the other party wanted to spend 10,000 Hong Kong dollars to place a bet, and of course I didn’t agree, so the result became what it is now.

"Where is your son?" "I couldn't get in touch with him after he came here. I heard someone said that their team had retreated to the island. I asked people to inquire several times, but I couldn't get in touch with him."

Zhu Xuefeng didn't ask any more questions, just asked Wu Qianqian and the others to make an appointment with each other, and took Wu Qianqian out of the building.

"Mr. Zhu, why did you take the initiative to add so much money, ten thousand? It's not because you have fallen in love with that pretty girl."

Zhu Xuefeng smiled, Wu Qianqian's thinking was quite strange.

"I don't mean anything else, I just don't want to add insult to injury. The price is obviously much lower than the market price. It's good to take advantage, but it's unethical to take advantage too much. Besides, I don't lack this ten thousand."

Wu Qianqian looked at Zhu Xuefeng with a complicated expression. This rich man really didn't treat money as money. Thinking about the thousand in his pocket, he felt relieved. At least Mr. Zhu was very generous. He had to earn four thousand yuan for this little money. Months, I didn’t expect Mr. Zhu to give it easily.

Zhu Xuefeng simply wanted to impress the father and daughter. The old man should be very familiar with the garment industry in Xiangjiang. He had paid liquidated damages but was still not in debt. You must know that liquidated damages are usually sky-high penalties.

I am not familiar with this area, so it would be much easier if I could bring the old man over. I only need to provide some sketches of popular European and American styles in later generations, and I can make money on my own.

"You made me a bad guy, and you came out to be a good guy. Mr. Zhu, I don't believe you don't have other ideas, but the most important thing now is to solve Brother Dong's matter. This is really tricky, and it will be difficult for our bank to help you. "

"I'm afraid it's not that your bank can't help, it's that it's not of such a high level that it's worth taking action. Who doesn't know the background of HSBC Bank in Hong Kong?"

Wu Qianqian blushed rarely and said embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhu, my position is too low and I can't use some resources. If you really need it, I can apply to my superiors..."

"No, you have to do this. I don't have to do the rest. Miss Wu, I admire you very much. If you are willing to change the environment, I will give you double salary!"

Zhu Xuefeng didn't have much time to linger. This beauty was pretty good, so Zhu Xuefeng just waved the big stick of money, as simple and crude as it was effective.

Wu Qianqian was a little moved. After one day of contact with Mr. Zhu, he had a good character and a salary that was beyond his wildest dreams. She had been in this bank for many years and knew that it would be very difficult to go further.

I just don’t know what industry this Mr. Zhu plans to work in and whether he can stay in it for a long time. After all, it is not easy to be an account manager at HSBC Bank. The salary is still higher than that of other white-collar workers. The key is stability and security.

Seeing Wu Qianqian's hesitation, Zhu Xuefeng said with a smile.

"We've only known each other for a day, so it's a bit hasty for you to make this decision. How about we talk about it after I resolve Brother Dong's matter."

Zhu Xuefeng planned to flex his muscles and take down Brother Dong so that she could see his energy before making up his mind.

"Then let's make an agreement. If you really settle Brother Dong, I will follow you and ask Mr. Zhu to take care of you later."

Wu Qianqian's eyes also lit up. This proposal is good. Someone with such energy can extend an olive branch. This opportunity is fleeting, so of course you must seize it.

Zhu Xuefeng has left, and Wu Qianqian has also returned to the bank. She is staring at a jade pendant in a daze. Mr. Zhu asked her to take it with her to inspect the jade shop. He picked the best one and gave it to her. It cost more than a thousand yuan. , and also said that with this piece of jade, if he sells it twenty years later, he will be able to eat and drink for the rest of his life.

Mr. Zhu is not interested in me, right? Mr. Zhu is very energetic and seems to have a good character. If he can deal with Brother Dong, it means that he is also powerful and he is young and rich.

Although she doesn't take money as money, isn't that the case with rich people? Wu Qianqian was a little moved, but unfortunately she didn't have the chance to ask Mr. Zhu about his family situation. Zhu Xuefeng didn't know about this, and he had already returned to the hotel.

"Xiao Zhu, where did you go? Director Ding couldn't see you, so he was a little anxious. He even criticized your director and said that if you don't come back, he will report..."

When Professor Zhou from the Radio Department saw Zhu Xuefeng coming back, he quickly stopped him and asked in a low voice.

Report that you ran away? I didn't expect Director Ding to be so responsible. Didn't he say that just reporting in the evening would be enough? Why did he start checking in the afternoon?

Zhu Xuefeng thought for a while, it was really troublesome. He had to do some things at night. He would not be responsible enough to check the ward in the middle of the night. He had no choice but to pretend to be a tiger and hope it would work.

"Professor Zhou, I will go find Director Ding and explain the situation. Don't worry."

"Dong dong dong." Zhu Xuefeng gently knocked on the door three times. Director Ding was a little anxious. Some people in the team have not come back yet. Something happened on the first day. How to explain to the superiors. He was worried about how to explain it to his superiors. When he heard the noise, the door opened. Open inside.

"Xiao Zhu, it's you. Where have you gone? They said you were resting. When the waiter opened the door, you weren't there either. Fortunately, your luggage is still there..."

Zhu Xuefeng understood what he meant and said with a smile.

"Director Ding, don't worry, what you are worried about will never happen to me. In my situation..."

Director Ding frowned when Zhu Xuefeng said that he would have to go out in the next few days. All the people who came were well-known people in the industry. Only this one actually showed that he was a student. What was so fishy about it.

"Comrade Xiao Zhu, it's not that I don't believe you, and I don't mean to restrict everyone, but there are some disciplines that you must strictly abide by."

After saying that, he looked at Zhu Xuefeng with piercing eyes, knowing that he was being targeted to death. He had no choice but to pretend to be intimidating. Zhu Xuefeng slowly took out an ID, let Director Ding take a look at the cover, and then quickly put it away. .

Zhu Xuefeng looked at the dumbfounded Director Ding with a wry smile. Since Director Ding was engaged in related work, he should probably know this person.

"You are a responsible comrade, and there is nothing I can do about it, but since you have seen it, according to relevant requirements, I hope you can keep it confidential and not embarrass everyone."

Director Ding was so happy that he immediately thought about it. No wonder a student joined the academic exchange team. This made sense. He quickly stood at attention with a serious expression.

"Comrade Zhu, please rest assured that you are busy with your work, and I will do the relevant work as required, guaranteeing cooperation and never leaking it."

Zhu Xuefeng left with satisfaction. He didn't expect this thing to work so well. It seems that it is necessary to stay for a while. It seems that it is not impossible to hold it all the time. This will save a lot of trouble. Do you want to talk to Uncle Kong after you go back?
