Ma Wei didn't feel anything about Tencent's refusal. First, the investment negotiations with Alibaba went quite smoothly.

Second, even if Tencent refuses. As a regenerate, he had a way to turn this situation around.

That is, when there is more money in the future, I will buy the South African newspaper industry. Or to Google after the development of smartphones, as well as Android. He would never have created a chat app called WeChat. Seize China's mobile market.

At that time, I believe that more and more people will choose WeChat. Then WeChat's market share can shake Penguin QQ......

In this way, it is not actually what Ma Wei wants. So the whole plan is still just in the imagination, it depends on whether Tencent will completely shut him out...

"Young master, the convoy is ready, is it time to leave?" After Ma Wei had lunch, the butler Ivan re-entered the private room.

"Well, right now. In the past two days, the Manchu and Han banquets have also been greasy, and Ma Wei feels that he should go out and walk around.

The $50 million that was originally planned to be invested in Tencent is now unnecessary. And in Citibank, there is still his $288 million, and there is nowhere to spend it.

So Ma Wei had no choice but to decide to go to the center of Tsujing to buy a few buildings. Fortunately, at this time in 2000, there were no purchase restrictions, and foreigners only needed to go through some procedures to buy a house.

When it comes to buying a house, with Ma Wei's current value, he must be buying a luxury building within the second ring road of Mingjing. But at this point in time in 2000, real estate was just starting, and many well-known mansions and villas had not yet been built. It is estimated that some developers have not even bought the land......

So Ma Wei finally set his sights on those courtyards in the North Second Ring Road!

That's right, it is those who will be expensive to 1 billion or 2 billion in later generations! The key is that there are a large number of Mingjing courtyard houses that are crazy to be robbed by local tyrants.

These traditional courtyard buildings are ancient buildings accumulated over a long period of time, and are a non-renewable resource that is extremely scarce. It is also a status symbol for the powerful in Tsukyo.

In the past, those dignitaries and celebrities and politicians all lived here. The value of history alone is immeasurable. Not to mention how valuable the land is in this capital city......

"Go and ask, what are the good real estate agents to recommend?" Ma Wei instructed the butler. The courtyard houses are all antique old houses, and the transaction information is all on the side of the real estate agency, and the developer has almost no and cannot have it.

Ivan, the housekeeper, doesn't understand what his young master is trying to do. Why do you ask about the real estate agent? I used to buy a first-hand house.

However, Ma Wei was his young master after all, and it was inconvenient for the housekeeper to ask more, so he only acted as instructed, "Okay, young master, I'll go and ask them." ”

Ivan and the female translator ran to ask the manager of the Oriole Pavilion what good real estate agents recommended.

In fact, what the housekeeper doesn't know is that after buying and renovating this quadrangle, it is definitely comparable to a small palace! The key is that in this North Second Ring Road, how many people can't envy it!

At the recommendation of the female manager of the restaurant, Ma Wei took his big red flag luxury car and drove all the way to Dongcheng District in Mingjing.

In 2000, the Internet was not yet widespread, and it was difficult to find an intermediary address. The convoy was in the Dongcheng District of the North Second Ring Road, and it went around for a while. Only then did I find the real estate agency recommended by the manager, in a commercial alley, it was a one-way street, and the car could not drive in, so it had to make a big detour.

"Just stop ahead, don't go around, I'll walk over. "Ma Wei is not a hypocritical person. Moreover, this one-way lane is already narrow. If a convoy drives past, even if it stops for a while, it will cause traffic jams and affect others.

"Okay, young master. The butler motioned for the driver to pull over. Then he got out of the car and took the initiative to open the door for Ma Wei.

The appearance of the big red flag luxury car, coupled with the appearance of the tiger's head, made the pedestrians passing by the street pay attention to it sideways. I thought to myself which big money, such a big formation, driving a luxury car and bringing bodyguards, like a modern version of the emperor of the soil!

Ma Wei wore sunglasses and got out of the red flag car in a very stylish manner. His handsome appearance gives people the feeling of making pictorials and movies, and it is even more lethal to women.

"You and the bodyguards, don't follow too closely just yet. "It's not easy to come to China, Ma Wei wants to walk on the street alone and feel the atmosphere quietly. I don't want the bodyguards to ruin this harmony.

"Okay, young master. The housekeeper took the order, took five big and three thick bodyguards, and kept a distance of about ten meters from Ma Wei and the female translator.

This picture suddenly becomes very interesting. Because when Ma Wei stopped, the butler and bodyguard behind him also stopped at the same time. The passers-by who didn't know looked back at these black-clothed bodyguards one by one.

When Ma Wei took a step, he came to the real estate agency not far away. Ma Wei took off his sunglasses and looked seriously at the rental and purchase information on the whiteboard.

The female translator standing beside him hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and explained to Ma Wei, "Mr. Ma Wei, what kind of house do you want to see? Maybe I can help you ask." ”

Just as the female translator was saying this, a female saleswoman in the real estate agency spotted Ma Wei's figure through the glass. So she hurriedly stepped on her leather shoes and greeted with a smile on her face, "Hello!

"Do you have a courtyard house here to sell?" Ma Wei asked a female translator to help him translate, although he really wanted to communicate in Chinese.

"Sir Courtyard, do you want to rent or buy?Courtyard House, because it is an ancient house, so whether it is a rental price or a purchase price, it will be relatively much more expensive than other houses!"

After listening to the translation, Ma Wei nodded casually, and then said lightly, and asked the female translator to translate, "It doesn't matter if it's expensive, how many courtyard houses do you have here?" ”

Because the female translator has seen Ma Wei, she will pay 50 million US dollars as soon as she makes a move. So for his generous spending, I am still a little mentally prepared. But when she translated the original words word for word to Xiao Jie.

I saw Xiao Jie, who had just been doing real estate sales for a few months, and suddenly opened her eyes wide!

"Huh, all, all of them?"

"Sir, then you wait for me!I'll go in and help you get the information right away!" Xiao Jie said, turning around and running towards the real estate agent. She has only been in the industry for three months, and she has not usually received any big orders. When Ma Wei came up, he said that he wanted to buy all the courtyard houses they were selling. This is really awesome! Maybe it's a super big order!
