Chapter 245: Buy, Buy, Buy!
Shanghai is an international metropolis, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, across the East China Sea from Japan's Kyushu Island, south of Hangzhou Bay, west of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. As early as the Song Dynasty, it was known as the place name of "Shanghai". After 1843, Shanghai became a commercial port open to the outside world, and quickly developed into the largest city in the Far East, and won the nickname of "Paris of the East" recognized by major powers.
Shanghai Pudong International Airport was built in 1999, is one of the two major international airports in Shanghai, about 30 kilometers away from the center of Shanghai, after Chi Mingzhe's special plane landed here, he took a large group of girls and accompanying staff and bodyguards, appeared in the waiting hall, he came once before so there is nothing curious about here, but the girls came to China for the first time, looking around here and feeling surprised everywhere, this terminal covers a huge area, an area of 280,000 square meters, just the arrival of the baggage carousel has as many as thirteen。 But the girls didn't take it, and the Chinese company would send someone to help them pick up their luggage.
"President, you've worked hard!"
Hong Seung-sung was already waiting in the departure hall and led the top management of the Chinese headquarters of South Korea's Skyline Entertainment Group in Shanghai to bow respectfully to him.
"You've worked hard, too!"
Although Mr. Chi is usually reluctant to make a high profile, he expressed his gratitude to the executives of these companies who came to greet him. A 30-degree bow in return is all in plain sight.
Behind him, a large group of girls with flowers and branches also bowed down to Hong Shengcheng and them, with some momentum in the neatness, and the scene looked quite spectacular, which made the passengers in the surrounding airport halls look at this place with surprise.
"Oh my God! It's William!"
"Where?...... Oh!
"William ......"
Many foreign tourists passing by soon saw Chi Mingzhe in the crowd, and quickly surrounded him, and soon hundreds of people gathered around.
Many domestic travelers were also curious, a large number of onlookers came up, and some fashionable young men and women also quickly discovered Chi Mingzhe, the scene was suddenly a little chaotic, all kinds of shouts called his name one after another, and many people also picked up the cameras in their hands and took pictures. Some people who don't know the truth also join the onlookers because of curiosity. The security guards in the departure hall also followed the sound, and they thought something had happened.
For Ji Mingzhe, it is not strange that Europeans and Americans know him, the key is that many Chinese are also shouting his name to surprise and delight, in South Korea is needless to say, there are a large number of media for him to publicize, household name is certain. In Asia, he has never deliberately publicized and promoted himself, in his consciousness, he feels that his popularity may not be as high as Park Jin-young and Baek Ji-young, and only then did he know that his popularity does not seem to be low.
He also seriously underestimated his popularity, the Oscar for Best Director at the beginning of the year, and the previous Grammy Awards, have made his popularity in Asia widely circulated, and even his past experience has been reported by mainstream media in some countries. And he also has a large number of fans in China, and after the Oscars at the beginning of the year, he has to add a lot of fans.
There was some chaotic scene, so that the accompanying staff and bodyguards took action, forming a human wall on both sides, and he immediately protected Taeyeon and Yoona who were crowded around him, and led them to the door of the airport hall. Behind him, there were a large group of girls, all with a little panic on their faces, but fortunately, their expressions were normal.
Nowadays, there is no airport fashion, and their outstandingly dressed and beautiful appearance also makes the surrounding passengers curious and become the focus of attention, and many people's cameras also keep taking pictures of them. It can be said that these photographers themselves do not know, and after two or three years, these photos they took have become fans of many girls, chasing and willing to obtain value-added "goods" at a high price.
This is a photo of them before they became famous, and they didn't pretend to wear sunglasses to the stars of later generations, showing their coquettish nature one by one, and at the same time breaking the "rumors" that slandered them for plastic surgery because of jealousy.
Ji Mingzhe did not get into the Mercedes-Benz car prepared for him by Hong Shengcheng, but got on the bus with the girls, and their luggage was also left at the airport, and then a staff member would help them send them to the station.
"Oba ...... I scared the baby to death just now!"
"Me too...... William!
Park Ji-yeon and so-jing got into the car and squeezed around him to sit with him, while Taeyeon and Yoona had already "learned" to be in the front row.
Su-yeon and Mi-young sat in a row behind him, watching their sister successfully "defeat" Taeyeon, and they were quite satisfied. But without Park Ji-yeon's help, she would be more satisfied. Just now, Ji Myung-cheol casually put Taeyeon and Yoona around her shoulders to protect her, which made her quite dissatisfied in the crowd of girls, even with Mi-young's emotions.
Xiujing was very strange about her sister, who looked at her gaze with a pleasant face, and even wondered if her sister wanted to numb herself, so that she could find an opportunity to teach her a lesson later, hehe...... This can also be regarded as a natural reaction to "sister-phobia".
"Oba ......"
Xuexuan's little sister also came over again, and "consciously" sat on Ji Mingzhe's lap.
"Xue Xuan...... Oba is tired, so you can sit by yourself!"
Ji-yeon is greedy for the "seat" that Xue Hyun sits, but now she has grown a lot taller, and she is a little adult at the age of twelve, but if she is still like Xue Hyun, she is unscrupulously coquettish...... Xiujing, who was beside her, also looked quite caring, pretending to blame Xue Xuan.
"Yes! Xue Xuan! You're a big kid, you can't always ask Oba to sit in your arms...... Or sit on Ernie's lap and let Obarest for a while!"
This hand is clever, and it also shows that she is caring and considerate.
"Alright...... It's okay to sit for a while, huh?"
Ji Mingzhe's words made the somewhat apprehensive Xue Hyun happy again, and only Ji Yeon and Su Jing had dissatisfaction in their expressions.
Most of the girls in the car are looking at the scenery outside the car window, even if they are very tired after taking a plane for more than ten hours, but fortunately, they are back in Asia, even if this is China, but looking at the dense buildings on the street and those Asian faces, it still gives them a familiar strangeness and cordiality.
Xiao Yuan sat in the corner of the bus, and Zheng Nicole sat next to her, but the two were not very familiar with each other, so after getting on the bus, Nicole looked out the window of the car and said nothing, she could only be silent and in a daze. Sometimes she misses the practice time at S.M, even if the company treatment was a world compared to now, at least there are many familiar sisters who can talk and communicate casually.
But now, even Taeyeon and the others are very good to her, there is no discrimination and alienation because they are unfamiliar newcomers, and they also admire her dancing skills and diligence, but Kim Hyoyeon always can't help but maintain a cautious and humble heart when facing them. She usually speaks little, she always sits on the sidelines and watches the sisters in the group play and is very envious, but she knows that as a newcomer, she can't help but know how to advance and retreat, even when facing Xu Zhuxian, a senior, she pays attention to her words, which makes her really tired.
Being able to return to Asia together is not to say that her ability is already the same as others, but Chi Mingzhe's consideration. After all, girlhood is a real fit, and staying together to practice will also help her integrate as a latecomer, and this girl's foundation is not bad, and it is estimated that she can narrow the gap with Yuli, Xiuying and others in half a year, but it is still quite different from Taeyeon and Xiuyan. So she came to China together under a lot of pressure, English and singing skills can not be slack, she has to continue to study and train, and at the same time have to learn the unfamiliar Chinese with the sisters in her group, although at this time it is also the same running line, but her efforts must be much more than others.
"You can do it!Hyo-yeon...... Come on!"
Kim Hyo-yeon once again cheered himself up in his heart......
Headquartered on Lujiazui West Road in Pudong, not far from the banks of the Huangpu River, China Skyline Entertainment is a brand-new 58-storey building that was originally relocated from Beijing, and Chi Mingzhe asked them to buy the building, which was favored by the head of the Chinese company at the time. At this time, Lujiazui was not as prosperous as it was later, but there were just clues. As landmark buildings, the Oriental Pearl and Jin Mao Tower have appeared, adding some notes to the prosperity here.
This year is the first time that Shanghai's housing prices have jumped into the price increase period, Chi Mingzhe also plans to see what is built nearby ready-made real estate also bought together, Tairong Shunchang real estate has already come to China to invest, is building the major cities of the Digao-Skyline Cinema, not just to build a cinema, Chi Mingzhe is still copying South Korea's Mingzhe Museum. Office buildings, residential buildings, high-end shopping malls, supermarkets, multiplex cinemas, etc., these commercial centers that have not yet officially appeared in China, are being unveiled by him.
The construction of the Mingzhe Museum in the first line and major provincial capitals and major cities is a huge investment, but Chi Mingzhe feels that it is worth it. Next year, China's real estate values will also enter a period of skyrocketing, even with the so-called government "regulation", housing prices will still go up and never look back. The current investment can bring huge profits in the future, of course, it is not so simple to enter China's real estate industry, and the joint venture is certain, and the secrecy and dirtiness during the period are not known to outsiders.
As ********the world's richest man, he can only have deep sympathy for those who are still ignorant and ignorant at the moment, and he doesn't mind becoming a "robber" who has taken out every one of their pockets. Build a high-end house here in '04, eh...... It is a real high-end residential building, all the construction costs and land purchase costs are calculated together, only the average is less than 1,000 yuan, this is still the price of big cities, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou on this basis is only a few hundred yuan more, other second- and third-tier cities and the last city is only half of the price or even less, even if the commercial price eventually reaches four or five thousand or even seven or eight thousand yuan, it is worth buying at this time.
How can Chi Mingzhe, who is familiar with these trends, be indifferent, the land is not easy to buy at will, and he knows that it has to be obtained through auction, coupled with the communication and construction of various links, so he plans to buy some ready-made real estate. He is interested in the real estate projects under construction or under construction in the prime location of Shanghai, such as buildings and garden squares, as long as they are in a prosperous area. Especially for those commercial building projects, he plans to buy dozens of them, and go back to Jun Ji-hyun and the others to place a few buildings under their names to be happy, of course, Taeyeon and the others, who are close to him, he also took into account, it is really love without limits.
The first thing that fell into his sight was the suspension of construction because of the financial crisis, and the Shanghai World Financial Center, which had just resumed work last year, belonged to the construction led by Japan Mori Building Co., Ltd., and by understanding that the completion date of the 101-story skyscraper on the ground was in 2008, he had sent someone to inquire whether the entire purchase could advance the construction period, and even directly bid 9.5 billion yuan to acquire the overall project.
This kind of handwriting and local tyrant style has shaken the entire Shanghai real estate circle, of course, curiosity is inevitable, until there is news that Chi Mingzhe is also ready to buy a large number of commercial real estate, which makes those developers crazy and happy. It can be said that many Chinese real estate developers at this time are still in the primitive accumulation stage, unlike the rich and wealthy ones that later appeared.
Some real estate developers who don't know much about Chi Mingzhe have begun to inquire around, the reason why they don't know much is that they don't know his financial situation, his clear identity is a musician and a famous director, and he is in the entertainment industry, which also makes many people not believe in his financial resources, until through the past foreign media reports and inquiries, I don't know what kind of existence he is. The commercial acquisition that shocked the United States alone made him look up to the mountains in front of these turtles in China who had not yet metamorphosis.
At the same time, the major banks in Shanghai also sent invitations to him in various names, in order to get a piece of the pie in the process of purchasing real estate, but as a big tyrant, he hates loan behavior, and has always adhered to the code of conduct of how big the head is with how big the hat is, although in the eyes of others his behavior seems outdated, but it may be the experience of his previous life, which left him with some bad memories.
He was sent a large number of invitations to various banquets and parties, and his image was also established in various high circles in Shanghai. Rich, very modest and easy-going, and still very young, this is the impression that everyone left on him. And then he bought more than 50 commercial real estate buildings in a very short time, including the Shanghai World Financial Center, which has not yet been built, with a total cost of 7.3 billion yuan, which he won for 9.5 billion yuan, leaving only one impression in their minds, that is, buy, buy.
Of course, Chi Mingzhe, who "follows the customs", still took out some loans in various banks, and everyone was happy. The loan tenure is not long, and it is only one year, but this has also brought a huge performance improvement to these bank presidents. Yes, at present, they only value this, so the interest also gives Chi Mingzhe a great discount, so that he is seriously considering whether to "have a time" here in Shanghai again.
Others are amazed by his financial strength, but Ji Mingzhe's heart is happy. The price is so cheap now. What will be the value in the future, he will not say casually. Paid people to make a huge sand table, show these architectural models one by one, and combine them into the appearance of a city. Take a look for yourself when you're fine. (To be continued.) )
