The next day, when Jia Lei was packing his luggage at home, the mayor's car came again, and Jia Lei looked at the car and shook inexplicably!

"Shouldn't you be looking for me to criticize me again? I've bought all my train tickets for today, and it would be bad if my godfather didn't want to let me go. Jia Lei thought to himself, but soon he knew that his worries were unnecessary.

"This is not the direction to go to Godfather's house, where are we going?" Jia Lei asked.

"I came to you today to talk about business, so I have to go to the city government. Lu Xiangluo said.

Although Jia Lei wondered that he had something to discuss with the people in the city, he couldn't refuse. Soon he was taken to the office of the China Merchants Bureau of the municipal government, and when he finished introducing himself, the director of the China Merchants Bureau introduced Jia Lei to a foreigner sitting in the office.

"This is Mr. Bauer from France, who owns a winery and two wineries in the Bordeaux region of France, and his family mainly deals in the red wine and brandy of a large winery, which has been in the West for more than 200 years. The main reason why I came to you this time is that Mr. Bor wants to rent a shop near Nanjing Road to sell all kinds of red wine and foreign wine that his family represents, and we thought of you as soon as we heard the conditions he proposed. The director said.

"Thinking of me, why?" Jia Lei asked strangely.

In the early 90s, our country was particularly short of foreign exchange, and there was no reason for this Mr. Boer to send foreign exchange countries to push out?

"Mainly because there are two things! The first is that the shop that Mr. Ball wants must be on Nanjing West Road. The second point is a special request made by Mr. Bol, and the city has checked the information, and only your house meets the information. The director of China Merchants said.

"What special requirements?" asked Jia Lei curiously.

"Mr. Bor wanted to have a proper wine cellar in his house, knowing that the conditions for storing good red wine are very high. There are requirements for temperature, humidity and ventilation, and there will be an old wine cellar built during the Republic of China just under your house!" said the director of China Merchants, which they found out after three days of investigation at the housing management office.

"Mr. Bol wants to ask you, would you like to rent out your shop? He can pay a dollar. Mr. Bor's interpreter spoke suddenly.

"Rental?" Jia Lei began to think after hearing this, it is now 1990, there is gold everywhere, and he is really not happy to open a shop, the house on Nanjing Road must not be empty in vain, where is it better to rent it out for foreign exchange.

"It's okay to rent it - but I have a request! This shop is in a good location, I originally planned to open my own shop, since Mr. Bol has taken a fancy to the beauty of being an adult, but I hope that Pol's photo can set aside one-third of the shop for me, and if I want to do business in the future, there will be a place! Mr. Bol should understand my difficulties, how rare it is to find a shop with the right seat and the right price to do business. Sometimes the location of the shop is right but the price is not suitable, sometimes it is not only the price but also the problem of the lease of the shop, and no one wants to work hard to build the shop to be taken away by the landlord for some reason. So I think it's best to do business in your own shop!" Jia Lei said.

The translator truthfully translated Jia Lei's words to Mr. Bor, but he didn't expect Pol to be very excited to hear it before, and he grabbed the translator's arm and said a lot of words.

"Mr. Bol agrees to your request, and he understands your difficulties very well! Mr. Bol originally came with the investment delegation of country M, and originally planned to open a red hotel in the newly built building of the international group, but he was taken the position by an American colleague, so he had to find a store nearby. The translator said that after listening to it, Jia Lei felt that this was reasonable, otherwise why would foreigners put the shops of so many large department stores and rent their own small wooden buildings.

"I will never put my wine on a supermarket shelf! The Yankees don't want me to give in!" shouted Mr. Bauer in French, and the interpreter touched his nose and whispered the sentence, but you could guess what he was saying just by looking at his movements.

The decision to rent a house was so pleasant, and what made Jia Lei even happier was that Mr. Bor gave him a monthly rent of $1,000.

＊＊＊＊

Jia Lei happily negotiated the conditions with Mr. Bor and wanted to leave immediately, but he booked a train ticket at half past eleven and was too late to leave for a while. The comrades of the Housing Authority and the Director of the Investment Promotion Bureau said that they would let Jia Lei personally go to see the house with Mr. Bor, and the reason was-

"We didn't have the keys and couldn't get into the house. "The director of China Merchants said that Jia Lei didn't have a key either! Why did he have nothing to do with a key that he didn't need.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a key, you can just smash the lock when you go to the place, anyway, Mr. Bor will change the lock after renovation. Jia Lei looked at his watch and said anxiously.

"This will not work, absolutely not! If you do this, you will be regarded as robbers by foreign guests! Foreign guests will leave a bad impression on the people of our country!" the interpreter protested.

This really makes sense! The people in the room couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this.

"You go to see the house with them, and I'll let someone go to inform Ah Fei at the train station that they will go by themselves, and I'll take you to chase them when the matter here is over." Fan Ping'an, who has been following Jia Lei, said.

Before Jia Lei could object, the people from China Merchants Bureau trotted all the way out to make a call, and Jia Lei could only stretch out Erkang's hand to look at his back.

As for the key, Fan Ping'an said that he could open the door when the time came, no matter what the lock was, he could open it with a key!

＊＊

"You...... You...... Can you tell me what the name of the unfinished building next to it is?" Jia Lei leaned on Fan Ping'an's body weakly, pointing to the side of his wooden building, and asked the neighbor who had already peeled off layers of safety nets and dense scaffolding to reveal his true face.

Fan Ping'an shook his head blankly, he is not a pearl, how can he know the name of a building that has not yet been built.

"That's the Portman Building! The Chinese name is Pearl Mall. It will open in April, and now the final touches on the exterior, interior, green belt transplantation and road finishing are underway. Next month, all units will be stationed, including the consulate of country M, a number of foreign institutions in China and well-known international business brands of various countries. Said the comrades of the Housing Authority.

"Pearl Mall! That's actually Pearl Mall, why didn't I see it at first!!Jia Lei, are you blind? Jia Lei beat his chest and said.

In 2017, there was no high-end shopping mall or landmark building on Nanjing West Road. Even two of the three hills on the Pearl Mall, which are extremely personal, are still under construction, and they have not been able to outline the shape that Jia Lei is familiar with together with the main building.

"I want to increase the money! I want to increase the rent!" Jia Lei suddenly turned around and shouted to Mr. Bol, he suddenly understood why Mr. Bol was squeezed out of the building by his peers, and he had to make a shop on the side of the building to open a red hotel.

"That's not good, you've all talked about it just now! The director of China Merchants said.

"Then I'll give the director a face, I won't increase the rent this year, but from next year, the rent will rise to at least 2,000 US dollars a month!" Jia Lei said angrily, he was actually played by a foreigner, if it weren't for Fan Ping'an to ask himself to come today, I don't know when I would have to suffer.

"Is two thousand dollars a month too much?" asked the interpreter, who did not dare to translate a word of these words to Mr. Bor.

"Just tell him -- at this price, you don't want to rent or not, if you don't want to spend money, ask him to change places! This house is next to the Pearl Mall and the consulate of country M, and there are so many people who want to rent a house! Two thousand dollars is really not expensive, that is, the price of a skirt in the shopping mall next door!" Jia Lei said Liangliang.

＊＊＊＊

"I rent, and such a beautiful setting naturally deserves a price worthy of her beauty!" said Mr. Bauer affectionately in French.

Jia Lei and his hypocritical greetings began to retreat, Jia Lei carefully began to look at his small dilapidated building and other familiar buildings according to the direction in his memory, and finally stood in the center of the intersection of Nanjing West Road and Xikang Road before he determined that his family's wooden building should have been demolished and converted into a green landscape.

Jia Lei clung his claws, he must keep his building in this life! This is a hen that lays golden eggs.
