Chapter 19 The Red House on the Volga River
Time rewinds half a month.
The city of Gorod, the most prosperous central location - Volga Street, on the banks of the Volga River.
On this street, in front of the most eye-catching three-story red building, there are three people standing, and they are looking up at the building with an area of about 2,000 square meters.
Among the three, the one at the front has a large hairstyle combed into a large number of hairstyles, a round figure, and a suit and leather shoes, but it is very decent, as if it is tailor-made. Looking at his expression of enjoyment as he smoked his cigar unhurriedly, it was clear at a glance that this person was either rich or expensive.
The middle-aged man carrying a briefcase on the left behind him saw that his face was dark, his temples were gray, his hairline was almost high above his head, and he was also dressed in a suit and leather shoes, but the gold-rimmed eyes on the bridge of his nose gave him the temperament of a literati, making people feel more like a high-level intellectual.
Looking at the one on the right, I saw that he had a clear outline, an octagonal hat that could not hide his blond hair, a white embroidered shirt, bloomers, and high leather boots, which made people feel more like an artist.
These three, of course, are Sergeyev, the head of the Shade House in the polar bear region, and his assistants Vladimir and Oleg.
They just got off the train yesterday and stayed in a superior suite for one night, after a brief discussion. They decided to make this their office building, who makes this place the most dazzling, you go to the city of Gorod and ask, who doesn't know the whole thing?
If the other party doesn't know, when he meets a local, he will definitely point to his nose and shout: "Are you embarrassed to say that you are from Gorod City?"
Sergey called one of his friends in the guest room and asked him to help him contact and persuade him to transfer. Sergei promised to give the friend 20,000 rubles as a token of gratitude after the deal, and agreed to turn around at 10 o'clock this morning.
Their goal today is to spend money to rent the entire upper and lower floors of this restaurant.
As for how much, it doesn't matter to Sergey now!!
He now needs to complete the first task given to him by Lu Zheng as soon as possible, and once he has this red building, the next work will be twice as effective with half the effort.
Because the city of Gorod is now an important industrial and commercial region in Russia, many colleges and universities have chosen to settle here.
After a while, a bearded man came out of the store, dressed in wide but bright clothes, and after giving Sergei a strong hug, he took his hand with a smile and raised his foot and went straight to the staircase in the hall on the first floor of the Red Building.
After Sergei gave the middle-aged man a gesture of please, they went up the interior staircase to the office on the third floor. To Sergei, this office was shabby: with red brick walls, a desk, and no filing cabinets.
The landlord and the owner of the hotel had been waiting here for a long time, and when they saw them coming in, they quickly stood up and owed a debt, and Sergei nodded in response. Sergei nodded with his hand, motioned for his friend to negotiate for him, sat down with a big knife, and continued to smoke his cigar and smoked comfortably.
Vladimir and Oleg naturally wanted to give Sergei enough face, standing behind him in an orderly manner, like two invisible people.
I only heard his friend pointing at Sergei to the landlord and the hotel owner: "This is my friend, who was doing business in the United States in the early years and just came back yesterday." Passing by here today, I think the environment here is good in all aspects. Can you give me a thin noodle and rent or sell the Red Mansion to my friend, the price is negotiable. ”
The landlord and the hotel owner are co-owners who run a restaurant, and they looked at each other and were spoiled by such domineering words. You are great at doing business in the United States?
The landlord was a temper tantrum, the bruises on his neck burst out, and he roared: "We welcome everyone to dinner, if you buy or rent a house, you can't help it, please get out of me immediately!"
The owner of the hotel was busy pulling the landlord and persuaded him: "Harmony makes money", persuaded his partner and said to this side: "I don't say secret words: although this shop is small, it has a lot of profits, and there are 6~100,000 rubles of profit every month." ”
When Sergei heard this, he silently calculated in his heart, almost five thousand dollars a month, and he couldn't help but let go, and glanced at the bearded man.
The bearded man smiled knowingly and said, "I don't know you yet, you have almost 50,000 rubles a month here, and the house can now be sold for 8 million rubles." My friend directly gave you 200,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to 12.5 million rubles, and you don't have to continue to run this restaurant. ”
When the landlord and the hotel owner heard this, their Adam's apple unconsciously moved down first.
The hotel owner quickly calculated in his heart that 12.5 million yuan was close to the price of the hotel he had been working for 10 years, but it also included the house price, which was something he couldn't decide. I could only choose to be silent, and my eyes couldn't help but look at the landlord who was still thunderous just now.
The landlord also quickly calmed down, and the irritability just now was just to hide his panic. Quickly calculated, it cost 6 million rubles to buy this building, and the house price has not changed much in recent years, and he has a 40% stake in the hotel, which is quickly calculated. But thinking about the ruble in recent years, it seems that there is a risk of depreciation, so I just heard him say: "This price is not impossible, but there is a precondition, it must be settled in US dollars, otherwise I will not agree." ”
After hearing what he said, Sergei stood up and quickly snuffed out the cigar he used to pretend, and asked directly: "Okay, happy, find a lawyer immediately, and we will sign the contract." Then shall I write you a cash check right away or go to a nearby bank to settle the payment?"
The landlord also froze, do you still have a lawyer? Besides, are you in such a hurry to buy a house? But you can't say it, you just pretend to be gloomy: "Cash check, I like that thing." ”
By the time the lawyer came to sign the contract and signed the cash check on the spot, it was not yet eleven o'clock. Since it was so early, Sergei had to take down the signboard of the hotel and lock the door.
Sergey asked his bearded friend to help contact the renovation company. politely left his friend for lunch, and after being refused, he said with a straight face: "I don't think you have a serious job, I will settle down in the Red Mansion in the future, why don't you come too, and everyone will work together?"
Sergei looked at the bearded man with suspicion, and laughed: "Don't worry, the office of the United States Financial Company here." I'm still mainly in my old business, but the business is a bit big. ”
After Sergei finished speaking, he handed the bearded man five thousand dollars in cash.
The bearded man was startled, and hurriedly said, "Didn't you say 10,000 rubles? How did it become 5,000 dollars?"
Sergei smiled: "Now that I have decided on the renovation plan, you have to keep an eye on me! Go, I have to report to my boss that he has a red house here." ”
