1572 Imagination
"Three of the UK's tallest buildings are located here. The 235.1-year-tall First Canada Place, also known as the Canary Wharf Tower, the Eighth Canada Place, also known as the HSBC Tower, and the Citigroup Center, are all 199.5 metres high.......
Standing on the forty-fifth floor two hundred meters above the ground, the Thames River looks slender and elegant, Tong Tiantian, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with Summer's hand, listened carefully to Fu Zhengyi's introduction, but always felt more and more weird, she didn't think that she really came here to buy a children's full moon gift, let alone bring herself over to see the scenery.
This is the very center of the City of London, this is the headquarters of HSBC, and the person waiting in the underground parking lot is the vice chairman of the board of directors of HSBC.
Summer's patience is better, and when she noticed Tong Tiantian's doubts, she tightened her hand, gave him a look, and continued to listen to him introduce the situation here, but in fact, Summer still paid attention to the situation on Ran Ying's side, because she was muttering to the vice chairman of the board of directors of HSBC, and she must be discussing something.
"By the way, let's go to the lobby later, the lobby of HSBC headquarters is very distinctive, the wall is full of many small photos, reflecting the world situation since HSBC was established more than 100 years ago, and many of the major historical events are related to HSBC's activities, which is a very historical ......."
Director Li Dawei had long noticed the strangeness of the atmosphere, and when he saw that Fu Zhengyi seemed to be running out of words, he opened his mouth. "Mr. Fu, the total assets of HSBC Group seem to have reached 1.6 trillion US dollars, and it is the third largest banking institution in the world, so you can ask the vice chairman of the board of directors to greet you in the parking lot, which can be regarded as raising the prestige of our country......"
Fu Justice is happy. "Director Li, if you are going to shoot an anti-Japanese drama, it is not surprising that you have such an idea, but you are taking the route of literary films, right?"
Director Li Dawei smiled wryly. "There's no way, anti-Japanese dramas are currently very marketable in China, and the profits are good, the reputation is almost good, but the purse can drum up......"
"Did you shout the line 'The Eight-Year War of Resistance is about to begin'?"
Director Li Dawei blushed. "Uh...... Not to mention, there really is! But I killed it! What other lines in that book are 'My grandfather was killed by Japanese devils when he was nine years old', if it weren't for the careful screenwriter, I almost missed ......"
It's been several years since she left the film and television industry, and Tong Tiantian was stunned. "Isn't it? If you let the actors say this kind of line, won't they laugh?"
Director Li Dawei sighed. "I originally thought that I would definitely be found on the set, but as a result, the auditions really put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and recited it word for word, I was so angry, my liver hurt......"
Tong Tiantian laughed, and Summer covered her mouth with the back of her hand and glanced at them. "What kind of mess is this? As for burying screenwriters and actors who come to auditions?
"Summer, this has nothing to do with face, the screenwriter can write this kind of line, that quasi-brain-dead, there are innocent actors in the audition, I asked one by one afterwards, some of them really didn't notice it, some of them were aware of it, and they could be funny for the book itself, so they read it out word for word according to the script......"
Director Li Dawei spread his hands, and pretended to shrug his shoulders helplessly, amusing Tong Tiantian and laughing, Xia is also Wan'er, he was about to continue, but when he saw Ran Ying coming over, he quickly stepped aside.
Director Li Dawei smiled, and Ran Ying said to Fu Zhengyi. "That's right, the other party's offer is 800 million pounds, and the annual rental return should reach 3.9, but according to the current exchange rate between the pound and the dollar, the transaction price may exceed 1.3 billion US dollars......"
"So expensive?"
Ran Ying was a little helpless. "The bank tower cost more than £500 million, it took six years to put into use, and if it were sold, HSBC would have to pay rent every year, and in the current situation, HSBC is not short of money, so ......"
"So the lion opened his mouth?"
Ran Ying shook her head. "This one probably won't be. However, if you really want to buy, you need to send a negotiation team, such a large transaction will eventually alarm the city hall, and the details of the purchase agreement also need to be reported, and the procedures may be more complicated than expected......
Ran Ying didn't deliberately lower her voice when she reported, and obviously she didn't shy away from letting everyone know, Tong Tiantian didn't react, director Li Dawei was stunned, and Xia pointed to the marble floor under her feet and asked. "This building is worth pounds?"
"yes, it's the number one choice, but the price is a bit out of expectation," Fu said, putting his shoulder on her shoulder, causing her to turn in the direction of the Thames and point to the tall buildings outside. "Well, as long as it's lower than this building, I think it can be done under a billion dollars." You can choose whatever you want, here is every inch of land, but it is definitely clearly priced, as long as you are willing to buy, you can definitely buy the right property!"
Summer turned around in amazement. "Y-You're kidding, aren't you?"
"No kidding! I really came here to buy a full moon gift, but the budget is only one billion dollars, so if you don't exceed the budget, it's fine......
Bang dang!
The startled director Li Dawei took a step back, but knocked down the flower stand on his side, causing the flower pot placed on it to fall to the ground. "I'm convinced, I'm really convinced! The idea of a rich man is really whimsical, traceless, and it is not a matter to buy a car, a house, a plane, or a yacht......! Choosing a gift for a child is actually to buy HSBC's bank tower, and the budget is 'only' a billion dollars!
Director Li Dawei's pretense made everyone laugh, Fu Zhengyi shook his head and said. "Poverty limits imagination, so there is an old peasant who thinks that the emperor uses a gold hoe to farm at home, and eats gold ingots pulled out of the gold ingots......"
Burst!
Tong Tiantianle went crazy.
Summer was also laughing, but her nose was a little sour, and she felt for a while that no matter what, it should be God's best arrangement to know him, be his woman, and have his daughter in this life......
