Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 373: Withdrawal from Hong Kong Island

In the front hall of the courtyard, the woman was sitting on a wooden sofa with a cup of tea in front of her, while Yan Jiekuang was sitting on a single sofa, lighting a cigarette for himself, with an ashtray, a cup of tea, a box of Zhonghua cigarettes and matches in front of him.

Yan Jiekuang took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Miss, what is your name? What do you want to talk to me about?"

The woman looked at Yan Jiekuang and said, "My name is Zheng Xinyi, and I'm from Hong Kong Island Yichang Real Estate. I came here this time to meet Mr. Yan Jiekuang and to ask if you have any intention of selling the two buildings in Central in which you hold a large stake."

"Oh, how do you know I hold shares? Did someone tell you? Then you have been cheated." Yan Jiekuang said slowly.

Zheng Xinyi said, "Mr. Yan, please don't pretend to be confused. Since I have come all the way to Sijiu City to find you, I already know a lot about the equity of the two buildings. You don't need to ask me where I know it. Can we discuss the transaction of the two buildings? Of course, you set the price."

Yan Jiekuang thought about it and realized that he actually wanted to sell it, but the current price did not reach his psychological price, so he told Lou Xiaoe not to move. But since someone came to him, he wanted to reconsider.

Yan Jiekuang was silent for a long time. How long? Zheng Xinyi had already drunk two pots of tea.

Yan Jiekuang put on his third cigarette and said, "Since Miss Zheng is so sincere, I won't say anything. Since you can find this place, I guess you have done some research. The housing prices in Central will continue to soar in the future. This is beyond doubt. I also want to end my business in Hong Kong Island as soon as possible and focus my energy here. You name a price. If I think it's appropriate, we'll make the deal."

When Zheng Xinyi saw that Yan Jiekuang finally gave in, she felt relieved. After thinking carefully, she said, "How about adding 20% ​​to the current price, Mr. Yan? This is our sincerity."

Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "Deal. You can go through the transfer formalities with my Hong Kong team. I will call Lou Xiao'e."

Zheng Xinyi was very happy and said, "Thank you. I didn't expect to complete this deal so quickly. Why don't you invite me to dinner to celebrate?"

Yan Jiekuang was stunned. What kind of logic is this? You have closed the deal, I have given in, and I still have to treat you to a meal. But on the surface, he said, "Of course, I'll make a few phone calls to arrange it. You take a rest. We can have dinner together in the evening if you are not afraid of making trouble."

Zheng Xinyi didn't understand what Yan Jiekuang said, but she was very happy that Yan Jiekuang invited her to dinner. She took out a mobile phone from her bag. She also had to report and arrange work, so this lounge became her office. Yan Jiekuang walked out and went straight to the study in the middle courtyard.

After arranging matters in Hong Kong Island, Yan Jiekuang sat for a few minutes. He felt that the end of the business in Hong Kong Island was a good thing. The stall was too big, and there were many things that he could not control. After all, he was not that familiar with the business environment in Hong Kong Island. Compared with Hong Kong Island, his understanding of Beijing was more thorough.

Yan Jiekuang stood up and stopped thinking about this matter. He was thinking about what to eat tonight. He had to entertain such a big client who gave him 4 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Yan Jiekuang went to the kitchen and asked Tian Guixiang to bring a fruit plate and soda to Zheng Xinyi, and then prepared tonight's dishes. At this time, the children were all in the middle and back yards. They knew that their father was receiving a guest, so they didn't come to disturb him.

Zheng Xinyi herself didn't know that there were so many children in the middle and back yards. She was in the lounge, treating it as her office, and making phone calls to remotely control things over in Hong Kong Island.

It was time for dinner, and Ji Lian happened to come back. Knowing the purpose of Zheng Xinyi's visit, she showed her enthusiasm as a hostess and took Zheng Xinyi to visit the entire courtyard. When she saw the big king and the little king in the backyard, she quickly asked Ji Lian to take her back to the front yard.

Zheng Xinyi also met Yan Jiekuang's children, but she was a little embarrassed because she didn't know Yan Jiekuang had so many children. She didn't bring anything this time. Ji Lian smiled and told her not to take it to heart, as people coming together is fate.

In the evening, Yan Jiekuang prepared a large table of delicious dishes to entertain Miss Zheng Xinyi. There were four appetizers: Dragon and Phoenix, Hong Zi Shredded Chicken and Cucumber, Fu Zi Braised Pork Tenderloin, and Wan Zi Spicy Shredded Tripe; nine main dishes: Anchovy Shark's Fin, Red Plum Pearl Fragrance, Kung Pao Rabbit, Hydrangea Scallops, Stir-fried Guinea Fowl, Milk Fish Fillet, Shredded Chicken and White Fungus, Osmanthus Fish Strips, and Eight Treasure Rabbit Dices; and the last soup was Braised Shredded Pheasant Chicken and Bird's Nest in a Pot.

All of them were delicious dishes that had never been cooked before. Zheng Xinyi found them pleasing to the eye just by looking at them. When she learned that they were palace dishes, she was even more surprised. Not only was she happy, but the children were also very happy, as they had not eaten their father's delicious dishes for a long time.

After a dinner that was very enjoyable for both the host and the guests, Zheng Xinyi said goodbye. Before leaving, Zheng Xinyi told Yan Jiekuang that she did not expect things to go so smoothly this time. Since there was nothing else to do, she would stay for two more days and then return to Hong Kong Island.

Both parties exchanged contact information and said goodbye happily.

When Yan Jiekuang came back, Ji Lian was waiting for him under the grape vines in the backyard. Yan Jiekuang knew that Ji Lian wanted to know about what happened in Hong Kong Island, so Yan Jiekuang did not hide anything and told Ji Lian everything that happened and the outcome.

Ji Lian, who had seen a lot of money before, was still dumbfounded by the income from Hong Kong Island. She had never seen such a large sum of money before, so she asked Yan Jiekuang how to deal with it. Yan Jiekuang said, "I haven't decided on the money yet, but I have a general investment direction. Let's see how it develops here. For now, I'll put it in the bank."

Ji Lian stopped asking questions. She also knew that it was impossible to transfer such a large sum of money into the country all at once. That would only harm Yan Jiekuang himself.

Yan Jiekuang also told Ji Lian what happened in Fangshan today. Ji Lian said, "These Liu brothers are really interesting. By the way, what kind of business is Liu Guangtian doing in Hong Kong Island?"

Yan Jiekuang chuckled and said, "He is just a street vendor with no money. If it weren't for the Lou family's help, he would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish."

Ji Lian said, "It turns out that not everyone in Hong Kong is a big boss who has made a fortune?" "Of course, to make a fortune, you need not only hard work but also brains. You know Xu Delin, he is just an agent and the second boss now. He looks so well-dressed and has a car and a mobile phone in Shenzhen, but without his boss, he will be penniless." Yan Jiekuang finished speaking and lit a cigarette.

Ji Lian said: "Then why didn't you help him? After all, we are old neighbors."

Yan Jiekuang took a puff and said, "I did help him. I lent him some money, but he was such a hopeless case that he lost everything in just two days."

"Well, there's nothing we can do. What about Xu Damao? What is he doing in Shenzhen?" Ji Lian asked.

Yan Jiekuang hesitated for a moment and said, "He is not in Shenzhen. He went to Xiamen. I heard that he is hanging out with a very big boss. He is quite rich."

When Ji Lian heard that Yan Jiekuang was very reluctant to mention Xu Damao, she stopped asking and the two of them chatted about their children.

When September came, the whole city was immersed in the joyful ocean of the Asian Games. Elements and topics of the Asian Games were everywhere. The Yan family was no exception. Yan Jiekuang even bought tickets for several games and took his children to watch them.

Ji Lian also gave her employees very special benefits, which were tickets to the Asian Games. Almost every employee got at least one ticket.

Yan Bugui and his wife specially returned to Sijiu City and moved back into the west wing. Returning with them were Yi Zhonghai and his wife, and Liu Haizhong and his wife.

Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai also signed up as volunteers for the Asian Games, and were responsible for tasks related to the Asian Games assigned by the street. For a while, the old men and women were very busy.

When Yan Jiekuang returned home from get off work, he found that no one was at home and the door was locked. He was very curious and wondered where all the people had gone.

Yan Jiekuang opened the door and pushed the car in. He was busy for a long time. Just when he was wondering where everyone had gone, the gate was pushed open. Yan Jiekuang was stunned as he had forgotten to lock the door. He looked towards the gate and saw three blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners walking in.

Yan Jiekuang approached him suspiciously and asked in English, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"Oh, sorry, we are cyclists from Italy. We saw this beautiful yard and wanted to come in and take a look," said one of them.

Although Yan Jiekuang felt that these people were a bit rash, as a person from the city of Sijiu, he could not lose face, so he said, "It's okay, come in and take a look. I just got home from work. The whole courtyard is my home. You can look around."

The three people walked into the yard, looked at the quaint courtyard, and were full of curiosity, taking pictures with their cameras from time to time.

Yan Jiekuang went to the east wing, took three bottles of Coca-Cola for the three people, opened them and handed them to them, then took the three people to visit from the front yard to the back yard, but before entering the garden, several people heard a low growl coming from the garden.

The three men stopped walking, and Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, they are my dogs. They may have smelled a stranger, but they didn't come out, which means they have no bad intentions."

Yan Jiekuang said to the big and small kings: "This is a guest, please behave yourself."

The two dogs fell silent. The three people stepped into the yard nervously and saw two big dogs lying at the door of the small house on the east side. They looked very majestic, especially the big one, which was covered with red fur and looked very beautiful.

The three of them were stunned. One girl asked, "Dear Yan, what kind of dog is this? Why is it so big?"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "This is a Tibetan Mastiff, a breed unique to Xinjiang and Qinghai in my country. They are able to defeat lions and tigers."

The three were all surprised and asked if they could take a picture with them. Yan Jiekuang did not refuse, and took pictures with Da Wang and Xiao Wang respectively. After visiting the back garden, the three said goodbye.

Before leaving, he still said to Yan Jiekuang: "Your house is very beautiful and comfortable. Of course, your dogs and cats are also very beautiful, especially the two Tibetan mastiffs. I hope we can visit again when we have time."

Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "Welcome to come next time."

After seeing the three people off, Yan Jiekuang locked the door. His home was not a tourist attraction, so it was better to avoid being disturbed by others.
