Chapter 60: A beautiful woman on Chang'an Street

Now that Jia Lei has made up his mind to take a foot in the Oriental Plaza, he began to recall everything about the Oriental Plaza in his previous life.

"In the previous life, the Dong family should also be short of money, so they introduced the Li family's funds, I took advantage of the first in this cooperation and had enough financial support, the Dong family should cooperate with me. Jia Lei knocked on the table and thought.

"But the construction of Oriental Plaza is not an easy task, I am definitely not as good as Li Shoufu's skill in this matter, so this time I still have to let Li Shoufu enter the ......game," Jia Lei thought about it, after all, ordinary people can't handle such a big development project.

Even if the richest man Li is so high-minded, he has experienced twists and turns in the process of building Oriental Plaza!

Jia Lei is very self-aware, he knows that although he holds the golden finger, the golden finger can only play the role of the finishing touch, and a large-scale commercial development case like this still has to rely on the owner's own ability in the end.

Jia Lei admits that he is not as capable as Li Shoufu, not even 1/10!

"In this case, I should try to interfere as little as possible, and let this matter follow the original historical trajectory!" Jia Lei finally made up his mind and said, although he had made a decision, Jia Lei was still depressed in his heart.

It's really uncomfortable to have to suffer this kind of grievance with a gold finger...... I want to cry!

"Mo Bei, I'll take you to Wangfujing Street to take a walk and relax. Jia Lei said.

"Boss, are you sure you just want to go outside and relax, do you need me to call the others over?" asked Mo Bei.

"No, there are many princes in the capital, who cares about my little role, if even Chang'an Street in the capital is not safe, then there will be no safe place in this country.

Don't worry, there are guards patrolling with guns on Chang'an Street. By the way, you'd better leave your gun with when you go out this time to avoid trouble. Jia Lei told him.

"Okay! Mo Bei nodded and said.

Jia Lei took people to Chang'an Street, and then he got out of the car and walked slowly on the street, at this time Chang'an Street was still demolished, and there were low four- and five-story small buildings on both sides.

"Stains! After decades of changes, the only thing that has not changed on Chang'an Avenue is probably the height of these buildings, right?" Jia Lei said, glancing at the buildings on both sides.

"Of course! Chang'an Avenue was originally designed as an open-air airport where planes could take off and land, and if the buildings on both sides were too high, how would planes stop? A voice suddenly answered, and Jia Lei rolled his eyes impatiently.

"I said that you shouldn't be a soldier now, don't you become a follower? Why do you follow me wherever I go?" Jia Lei turned around and asked.

"Huh...... Who made you a big boss now, and the above is afraid that something will happen to you, so he sent several groups of people to secretly protect you. Fan Ping'an said.

"Since it's secret protection, then what are you doing here?" Jia Lei asked.

"I'm going to be your guide and escort! Fan Ping'an said self-deprecatingly.

"Okay, don't talk to me! I guess you have something to tell me this time, right?" Jia Lei asked.

"I don't have anything to say, but the above decided to let me take you to see the land first, and then hope that you will make a careful decision on whether or not to actually develop it. Fan Ping'an said.

"Actually, if you don't say that I want to see it, it's just that there are too many government departments on Chang'an Street, and I'm afraid I won't be able to enter some places without what you bring. Jia Lei said.

"Huh...... You are going to demolish people's nests in the future, do you dare to go there? Are you not afraid that the people inside will know the purpose of your visit and then beat you out?" Fan Ping'an asked in disbelief.

"I'm not afraid, to be honest, if I want to do demolition in these years, I won't do it at all if I don't have two or three years, and I go around now, and others don't know what I'm going to do. Jia Lei said.

"Then let's go, where do you want to go first?" asked Fan Ping'an.

"Let's go to Xinhua Bookstore! I am still very curious about the headquarters of Xinhua Bookstore at this time, there should be a lot of "treasures" there. Jia Lei said.

"What kind of "treasures" can there be in the Xinhua bookstore? If you want to Taobao shellfish, why don't I take you directly to Liulichang? Fan Ping'an said.

"The treasures of the glass factory are nothing more than mundane things, but the treasures in the Xinhua bookstore are heirlooms. The ancients said that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book......" After Jia Lei finished speaking, he walked towards the headquarters of Xinhua Bookstore not far away, and Fan Ping'an and Mo Bei hurriedly followed.

"Long live the great leader, long live the invincible XX!" Jia Lei stood at the door of the headquarters of Xinhua Bookstore, looked at the plaques with the characteristics of the times on both sides, and read out the words written on them in a low voice.

"It's just two very common brands, what's so good-looking, let's go in!" Fan Ping'an said past Jia Lei, and then he opened the door of Xinhua Bookstore.

"This door is really narrow, the current headquarters of Xinhua Bookstore only has 4 ordinary glass doors, less than 6 meters!" Jia Lei said with emotion, you must know that the glass façade of the headquarters of Xinhua Bookstore is 40 meters long.

The Xinhua bookstore was crowded with people waiting in line to buy new books and students flipping through the shelves.

Jia Lei first passed by a group of young men and women looking at the latest poetry collection, then walked past a bunch of children looking at fairy tale books, and finally came to the hardcover area of the bookstore that is rarely frequented.

"The subset of classics and history, the Spring and Autumn Festival! these are all treasures......" Jia Lei touched the back of the rows of books and said, and then he ordered.

"You go and find the manager and ask him to bring me a set of books here!" Jia Lei instructed.

"Jia Lei, are you crazy, why are you buying so many books?" asked Fan Ping'an.

"I'm not short of money now, so I'm going to build a small library for myself. Jia Lei said that soon the manager of Xinhua Bookstore came over.

"This gentleman, do you want to buy a set of books here?" the manager looked at Fan Ping'an and asked.

"Don't you see the scar on Lao Tzu's face, do you think I'm the kind of person who loves to read! If you want to sell books, go find the little hairy kid next to you. Fan Ping'an said frantically.

"But he's still a kid...... the manager looked at Jia Lei and said in surprise.

"Does Xinhua Bookstore have a rule that children can't buy books?" Jia Lei asked with a wink, he is now very much like a good child who follows his parents to buy fairy tale books.

"No! Actually, we have a children's section in Xinhua Bookstore, do you want to go there and check it out? The books here are not for you. The manager said.

"No, that's not for me, I think my bodyguard has already told you what I'm asking for, right?

I like this literary masterpiece area, you can give me a set of Chinese and foreign masterpieces and subsets of classics and histories, whether they are in Chinese or in the original language, including those professional albums and photo albums. Jia Lei said.

"These hardcover books are very expensive, and a set can cost hundreds of dollars! Do you really want to buy them?" the manager asked in surprise.

"I want to buy it!" Jia Lei nodded affirmatively.

"Don't worry, money is not a problem for this little ghost! I advise you to take this opportunity to find out all the expensive and unsellable inventory books in your storehouse and sell them to him. Fan Ping'an said.

"Some of the books in our warehouse are old books from thirty or forty years ago, how can we use these things to fool customers?" said the manager of Xinhua Bookstore, who quickly shook his head when he heard this.

"I like the old things, the older the more I like them! You can bring them all, I don't care. Jia Lei said with a smile that he knew that there would always be some "surprises" popping up in these ancient inventories.

"Since you don't mind, I'll have someone find all the books for you, but you have too many books, I'm afraid we'll have to move them for a while.

It will take at least an hour or two during this time, do you want to go to the third floor with me to rest first?" asked the manager of Xinhua Bookstore.

"The third floor, don't you only have one or two floors to sell books here, and are you open on the third floor?" Jia Lei asked in surprise.

"The 3rd floor is also open, but we don't sell books there, but we sell some works of art and famous paintings and calligraphy, so you can take a break there and enjoy the paintings. The manager said.

Jia Lei had never heard of the sale of art in Xinhua Bookstore before, so he followed the manager curiously.

"Huang Guanzhong, Zhang Daqian, Qi Baishi, Lu Yanshao......" Jia Lei couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he looked at the artworks and paintings placed in the Xinhua bookstore.

How can this be called a work of art, this is clearly an antique, okay.

"Some of these paintings were put on consignment by some people, and some were painted by the master himself and sent over. Like Master Lin Fengmian's shore fun picture, someone put it here a long time ago and sold it. The manager of Xinhua Bookstore pointed to a painting.

This painting is not a small square painting of about 30 centimeters, and it depicts two very cute cormorants, standing on the bow of a small boat and looking into the distance, as if they are about to come to life.

"I want this painting!"

"I want this painting!"

As soon as Jia Lei opened his mouth, a woman said in unison with him, Jia Lei turned his head in surprise when he heard this, and then he saw an unexpected figure.

"Miss Zhang, why are you here?" Fan Ping'an asked with a frown, he didn't know where the two women got the news from.

"Zhou Kaixuan!" Jia Lei shouted in his heart when he saw the woman behind him, did this woman have already appeared at this time.

"Madam first, since this young lady has taken a fancy to this painting, then I don't want it. Jia Lei said to the manager with a smile.

"You're so polite! Actually, I've been going to visit you for a long time, but I'm wondering what to do as a gift. If you don't dislike it, Young Master Jia, how about I borrow flowers and offer this painting to you?" Zhang Peiwei said with a smile.

"The two of us have never met, why are you giving me a gift?" Jia Lei asked.

"You see, I forgot to introduce myself, my surname is Zhang Peiwei, and this is my good friend Zhou Kaixuan. Zhang Peiwei said with a smile.

"Jia Lei, this Miss Zhang is the cousin of Mr. Dong on Hong Kong Island!" Fan Ping'an frowned and explained to Jia Lei.

"It's my honor to meet the two young ladies, I don't know if they are looking for me for something. Jia Lei said with a smile.

"Young Master Jia is refreshing, since this is the case, let's not talk darkly. We're very interested in the piece of land in your hand, can you make a bid?" Ms. Zhang said.

"Oh, I don't know what you two want me to do with that piece of land?" Jia Lei asked curiously.

"We want to build a movie theater there!" Ms. Zhang said.

"My piece of land is at least 100 acres in size, do you want to buy such a large piece of land just to open a movie theater?

"In fact, we are looking for other investors who want to jointly develop this land, and there is a Mr. Li on Hong Kong Island who is also interested in this land. It's just that when we negotiated the contract with the government, we delayed for a while, and the land suddenly went into your name. Zhang Peiwei said with a smile.

"The Dong family is a wealthy family on Hong Kong Island, I'm afraid you want to buy my land and not just build a movie theater, right?" It's just a pity, I don't want to sell this land just like that......" Jia Lei shook his head and said.

"Then what do you want?" asked Zhang Peiwei with a frown.

"Since you can find me so easily, I'm afraid someone has already told you what I mean, right? I said, I want to cooperate with your Dong family to develop this land, I am responsible for contributing part of the funds and land, and your Dong family will handle the rest?" Jia Lei asked.

"Our Dong family is more inclined to buy the whole piece of land and develop it ourselves, you might as well make a price!" Zhang Peiwei frowned and said.

"Your Dong family wants to buy a piece of land, but as far as I know, the Eastern Group has just turned a profit, so your Dong family can't come up with so much cash now, right?" Jia Lei said.

"Our Dong family has no money, but the Mr. Li who works with us has money in his hands?" said Miss Zhou with a smile.

"But I'm not short of money, I just want to use land as a stake in the project......," Mr. Jia said.

"This is impossible, do you know how important this big project is to our Eastern Bloc? This is not something that anyone can easily join with a piece of land!" Zhang Peiwei said unhappily.

"Miss Zhang, I advise you to go back and inquire carefully about who I am, and then it is better to talk! Since I can win such a large piece of land and projects on Chang'an Avenue, I am definitely not an ordinary person!" Jia Lei said with a smile.

"Are you trying to blackmail us with land? This is not some kind of fair and honest means, you want to rely on a piece of broken land to ask for shares, this is too cheap, right?" asked Miss Zhang.

"I just want to cooperate with you, if you think that I am only taking advantage of you by using land as a shareholder, then I can pay another part of the follow-up project money, 30% of the project. Jia Lei said.

"The budget for this project is as high as 1.5 billion US dollars, and 30% of the project is 450 million US dollars, can you really come up with that much money?" Miss Zhou suddenly asked softly.

"Of course you can! In fact, I bought this land from the government for 500 million US dollars, do you think I can't get 450 million US dollars?" Jia Lei asked with a smile.

"Even if you can come up with so much money, I'm afraid we don't dare to ask for it, the total budget of this project is only 1.5 billion US dollars, if you alone account for the total investment of 1.1 billion US dollars, then you are afraid to take 6% of the shares of this project, right?

Then wouldn't our Dong family become a part-time job for you!" Miss Zhang said with a frown.

"If Miss Zhang minds, then I can reduce the investment ratio, after all, it is absolutely impossible for both of you to eat such a big project, as a businessman, I am naturally measured. How about everyone take a step back?" said Jia Lei.

"Since the land is in your hands, we just don't want to take you, I'm afraid we won't be able to, so I'll go back and discuss with my family before giving you an answer." Miss Zhang said.

"Yes, but since the land and the project are mine, I hope that my share of the project in the future will not be less than 30%! Jia Lei said.

"Okay, I'll tell my cousin and Mr. Lee what you mean. After Miss Zhang finished speaking, she took someone away, and Miss Zhou still followed her like a little follower at this time.

"How can the golden scales be a thing in the pool, and they will turn into dragons when they encounter a storm!" Jia Lei looked at Miss Zhou's back and said.
