Chapter 613 Bund No. 32

……

"Hey, Mr. Guo, I'm Zhou Ziqi!"

"Mr. Zhou, it's still morning, it's still very early until dark!"

"Haha, it looks like my call was in vain. However, if you're okay in the evening, let's have a meal together, and by the way, I'll introduce you to a few friends! ”

Considering that he wanted to cooperate with Zhou Ziqi, Guo Shouyun did not refuse.

"Okay, where?"

"Tang Ge, another high-end restaurant in the magic capital, is guaranteed to satisfy Mr. Guo!"

"The place Mr. Zhou chose is extraordinary, so let's settle here. ”

"7 p.m., Mr. Guo, we'll see you there!"

"Okay, see you or leave!"

After a brief chat, Guo Shouyun hung up the phone. Looking at the time, it was already noon. After calling again to inquire about the progress of Qiu Yanyun's side, he left the office of the Global Real Estate Modu Branch and went home.

In the afternoon, when Guo Shouyun was reviewing the company's documents in the study, Ji Hong unexpectedly pushed the door and walked in. He placed a large stack of materials in front of him.

"Is this...?"

"The general information of the 'Bund Source' renovation project launched in 2002, including No. 32 on the Bund, the former British Consulate General in Shanghai, is very suitable as the address of the Modu Plaza Hotel. ”

As a veteran driver who has lived in the magic capital for many years in his previous life, he is no stranger to 'Waitanyuan'. It is located at the confluence of the Huangpu River and Suzhou Creek, stretching from the Huangpu River in the east, to the Middle Sichuan Road in the west, to the Suzhou Creek in the north, and to Dianchi Road in the south, covering an area of 16.4 hectares.

From the opening of the port to the 50s of the 19th century, the establishment of foreign banks, wharves, and waterfront warehouses, as well as the construction of the British Consulate, opened up the modern trade and financial industry of the Magic City.

After the 60s of the 19th century, with the influx of foreign financiers and professional and technical service companies, McWartto, then the British Consul in Shanghai, set aside a large area of the British Consulate base for foreign businessmen to buy real estate and provide cultural and entertainment facilities for overseas Chinese, and set up and built facilities such as museums, theaters, schools, publishing houses, churches, parks, bridges and other facilities, as well as various political, cultural, religious, commercial and other institutions and groups, so that the Bund area and the surrounding environment together form a comprehensive community with diverse functions.

Therefore, the Bund source area is one of the important birthplaces of politics, culture, Western studies, finance and commerce in modern times.

The unique geographical location and profound historical and cultural heritage make it the source of the veritable Bund and a "pearl" on the "crown" of the magic capital. After the rectification, the Bund International Complex is the most beautiful city card of the Magic City.

Putting these aside, no one knows better than Guo Shouyun what kind of economic value these 'old houses' in the eyes of outsiders at this moment contain.

It is not an exaggeration to describe that there are more monks and less porridge, and there is no market for price!

"I've been in the magic capital for so long, but I almost forgot that there is such a piece of fragrant bread!"

suppressed the covetousness of the Bund International Building, picked up the information of No. 32 on the Bund that Ji Hong wanted, and with just one glance, he understood what kind of place this was.

The Peninsula Modu!

In his last life, the Modu Peninsula Hotel occupied 32 on the Bund.

"No. 32 on the Bund is at No. 31 Zhongshan East 1st Road. It was originally the British Consulate General in Shanghai, and later became the housing of the Modu Government Affairs Bureau, and now the property rights are under the Modu Housing Authority. It covers a total area of 13,900 square meters, with a total construction area of 92,000 square meters, 56,000 square meters above ground and 36,000 square meters underground, and two towers on the ground, 15 and 14 floors, which can be converted into hotel rooms and serviced apartments, respectively. The third basement floor can be converted into a parking garage. ”

“… For the size of the hotel, 32 on the Bund is the right fit for us. Moreover, its location is extremely superior, and the architectural type and design are also in line with our positioning as a top hotel in the Plaza Hotel Group. ”

After listening to Ji Hong's explanation and looking at the information in his hand, Guo Shouyun smiled and nodded.

"Bund 32 is indeed very good, it seems that you have sat down and prepared a lot!"

"I've been working on this lately. After noticing the hesitation on her face, "Just say anything directly, we are not outsiders!"

Ji Hong nodded, took a document again and put it in front of Guo Shouyun.

This is the auxiliary building of the former British Magic City Consulate, No. 2 on the Bund, Victorian style, with two floors and a construction area of 1,500 square meters. Can you rent this place as well? ”

Bund Source No. 2, if Guo Shouyun remembers correctly, in his last life, this was Patek Philippe's only two source residences in China. He never went in, though, and only looked out of the door a few times while visiting the Bund. I have heard from people who have entered it that the things inside are expensive to death, and they are often tens of thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands. But with the Patek Philippe brand, this is quite normal.

"It's fine, of course, but what are you going to use it for?"

"I've always been interested in high-end dining. It's just that the main focus is on the Plaza Hotel at the moment, so when I talked to you before, I didn't mention it much. But now Xiao Zheng also wants to be in business, and I think she can grasp the opportunities in the catering industry. ”

"Xiao Zheng?" Guo Shouyun was stunned, and Ji Zheng's well-behaved and cute appearance appeared in his mind, "She also plans to do business?"

"Hmm!"

Ji Hong nodded affirmatively.

"It can't be you or Qiu Yanyun who instigated her, right?" Guo Shouyun asked after a moment of silence.

"Of course not. It's just that she sees that we all have our own things to do, and doesn't want to be dispensable for nothing. ”

Looking at Ji Hong's calm expression, Guo Shouyun nodded slowly.

"You are her sister, do you think with Ji Zheng's character, is she suitable for business?"

"Not appropriate! But people can change. Even if she is really not suitable, if she is rejected without trying, do you think she can feel better?" After a pause, "Moreover, with your strength and strength, even if Xiao Zheng tries to fail, there is no loss to you." ”

This is true, opening a high-end restaurant in Huaxia in 04, the costs of rent, labor, materials, decoration and other aspects add up, and it will be 10 million or 20 million Huaxia coins to die. And one or two million Huaxia coins is not even a dime a dime for Guo Shouyun today.

“… In the end, even if Xiao Zheng is not suitable, Sister Yun and I will help her. Moreover, a 1,500-square-meter high-end restaurant, with a good decoration and good positioning, coupled with not too bad dishes, and a superior geographical location, there will be basically no shortage of customers!"

Guo Shouyun nodded after thinking about it.

"I said yes. ”

"Thank you!"

"Thank you for not needing, we don't need this between us. Guo Shouyun waved his hand, "By the way, what about Riich?"

"I was taken to the back garden by Xiao Zheng to play!"

"Let's go, let's go check it out!"

"You're out of business?"

"It's almost busy, and the rest can be seen later. By the way, I have a party in the evening, and by the way, I have to go to the antique ghost market on Fuyou Road to see, and I came back very late. So you don't have to wait for me, just rest early!"

"Hmm!"

……

Tang Pavilion, one of the high-end dining establishments in the magic capital. Guo Shouyun knows most about it in 2016, when it became the first restaurant in mainland China to receive three Michelin stars, and then became famous.

"Hello Mr. Guo, I'm Tong Ping, Mr. Zhou's assistant!"

When Guo Shouyun first entered the hall, a young man with eyes and polite qualities quickly greeted him.

"Hello!"

After a brief handshake between the two sides, "What about you Mr. Zhou?"

"Mr. Zhou is waiting for you in the restaurant, please come with me!"

Guo Shouyun nodded and followed him to the box area on the second floor of the restaurant. The first box door sign that passed by was written in black font with the words 'Jin Si Nan', the second was 'Rosewood', and the third was 'Huanghuali'.

Seeing this, he remembered that in his previous life, the Tang Pavilion had nine private rooms, all of which were named after precious trees, and now it seems that they are the same.

Tong Ping took Guo Shouyun to a private room marked 'boxwood' and pushed open the door.

In the luxuriously decorated box, the two people who were originally chatting looked back after hearing the movement, and noticed Guo Shouyun standing in front of the door, and stood up in unison.

When they were a lot of themselves, Guo Shouyun was also looking at them. Needless to say, Zhou Ziqi has known each other for a long time. It was the obese middle-aged man next to him who was wearing a black suit, with a flat head, a square face, and a beard on his upper lip, which made him subconsciously examine it for a moment.

"Mr. Guo, you're here, please come in!"

Zhou Ziqi greeted him warmly.

Guo Shouyun smiled and nodded, and then walked into the box.

"Who is this gentleman...?"

"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Tang Wanxin, President of Delong International Investment Holdings Co., Ltd."

"Delong, Tang Wanxin?" Guo Shouyun was moved.

"Mr. Guo also knows me?" asked Tang Wanxin.

"Of course!"

After Guo Shouyun took a deep breath, he looked at the middle-aged man opposite and nodded. Looking at the other party's face, some memories that had been forgotten in the depths of his mind resurfaced.

Delong and Tang Wanxin are the most legendary names in the last decade of the 20 th century, the most sensational names in the first decade of the 21 st century, the representatives of the reckless era of China's economy, and the elites of the fiery era of China's 'one billion people and 900 million businessmen'!

In less than 20 years, Delong, which he led, grew from a small company on the northwest border to a financial and industrial empire that once controlled more than 120 billion in assets.

Delong's involvement in the industry is amazing, from ketchup, cement to auto parts, power tools, heavy trucks, to seeds, mining, retail, etc., and the financial companies it controls through various direct and indirect means are also impressive, from trusts, securities, leasing to commercial banks, all financial instruments are almost one by one, if it is not for his great ambition, and do not know moderation, I am afraid that the top ten of the current China rich list will have its place!
