At noon, Fang Jianhui took Shirley to the chief's family banquet.

It can be seen that the chief really likes him, he screams one grandfather after another, although the chief does not agree, but he is not disgusted.

Lunch was very simple, just four dishes and one soup, and the two drank a bottle of Moutai together, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

At the dinner table, the chief said earnestly: "Xiaohui, your position in Xiangjiang is very important, and the motherland hopes that you can make due contributions to the social stability, stability and prosperity of Xiangjiang." ”

"Yes, yes. Fang Jianhui said: "Xiangjiang is the place where I grew up, the motherland is the state of my parents, and it is my duty to do something for the motherland and Xiangjiang." ”

"Xiaohui, you have a huge influence not only in Xiangjiang, but also in the United States, Japan, Europe and other places, and the motherland has high hopes for you. ”

Fang Jianhui patted his chest: "No matter where I am, there is one thing I always keep in mind: I am a Chinese. ”

The chief nodded approvingly: "Okay, as long as you remember this, you won't do anything wrong." ”

-----

After eating, Fang Jianhui said goodbye, and as soon as he returned to the Imperial Capital Hotel, someone came to look for him.

It turned out to be four soldiers, Fang Jianhui froze when he saw it, what are you soldiers looking for me?

The other party showed him a letter of introduction and introduced himself, and it turned out that they were from the military logistics department, headed by a major general Zhong.

"I heard that Mr. Fang is interested in buying a royal mansion?" asked Major General Zhong.

"yes. "Fang Jianhui said secretly, does it have anything to do with you when I buy the palace?

"We have a complete palace in our hands. ”

Oh, Fang Jianhui's spirits perked up, it turned out that he was here to sell, you guys are really fast enough!

Fang Jianhui didn't know that as soon as the news of his intention to buy a palace with 50 million US dollars came out, it immediately caused huge waves in the relevant units, and everyone was not only amazed by his wealth, but also extremely tempted by this huge amount of money.

This price of 50 million US dollars is dozens or hundreds of times more than the price of the palace itself, and it is still a precious US dollar! Earning foreign exchange through exports is not just talking at this time, and which unit has the ability to get US dollars makes everyone blush.

After the logistics minister got the news, he immediately made a decision, and Major General Zhong immediately set off, and when the leaders of other units were still preparing to hold a meeting to study, he had already sat in front of Fang Jianhui.

There is no way, the military is really poor now, under the guidance of the chief's principle of centering on economic construction, military spending has been pressed again and again, and all the soldiers have lived a hard life, if they can get such a large sum of money, it will really save the old life.

"Which palace is it?" Fang Jianhui asked.

"Qingwangfu. Major General Zhong said, and also opened a picture of the structure of the house, and while comparing on the map, he explained to Fang Jianhui: "Prince Qing's Mansion, located at No. 3 Dingfu Street, Xicheng District, is the residence of Prince Yixuan of Qing in the late Qing Dynasty. Prince Qing's Mansion is located in the north of Dingfu Street, east of Deshengmennei Street, west of Songshu Street, and south of Yannian Hutong, covering a rectangular area. The total area is about 30,000 square meters. ”

Qingwangfu sits in the north and faces south, from west to east is divided into five sets of side-by-side courtyards, with nearly 1,000 large and small buildings. Of the five courtyards, Yixuan originally lived in the two courtyards to the west. The main hall is in the east, and the roof is ash tube tiles. ”

"In 1949, the imperial capital was liberated, and the headquarters of the Beijing-Tianjin Garrison was located here. After the 50s, it was used by the logistics department and other organs under the imperial capital garrison. ”

It turns out that this palace has been occupied by the military, and Jian Hui understands it all, and he is also happy: "Can I check it out on the spot?"

"Absolutely. ”

So, everyone got into the car together, and in less than half an hour, they came to the door of Prince Qing's mansion.

After Fang Jianhui got out of the car, he found that there was actually a lieutenant general here to greet him, and it turned out to be Vice Minister Wu of the Logistics Department, who came over in person to show his attention.

After a little greeting, Fang Jianhui began a field trip. This investigation, found that there are many problems, Qingwang Mansion originally from west to east divided into five sets of side by side courtyards, now only the west of the two sets of courtyards are well preserved, the middle courtyard only left a back bed, built a number of three-story modern small buildings, the east is completely rebuilt.

Walking into the back garden, Fang Jianhui found that there was an auditorium in the park. Major General Zhong introduced: "There was originally a theater building here, the building was a two-storey building, with an area of about 1,300 square meters, which can accommodate about three or four hundred people. ”

"What about the theater now?" Fang Jianhui asked.

In 1971, when the Peking Opera "Red Lantern" was performed in the theater, the theater staff smoked in the background, igniting curtains, props and other combustibles to ignite. This auditorium was later built on the site of the theater. ”

"Oh, alas. Fang Jianhui said: "Then after I buy the palace, can I rebuild this theater building?"

"Of course you can. ”

After strolling around, everyone came to the guest house in the middle of the city.

"General Wu, General Zhong. Fang Jianhui said: "After the inspection, I am basically satisfied with the place, I don't know what to say about the price?"

The two glanced at each other, and Vice Minister Wu said: "Qingwangfu is different from ordinary palaces, it covers a vast area, and it is relatively well preserved, I think the price should be higher." ”

"How high, can you tell me a price?"

"I think at least $100 million is needed. Vice Minister Wu said in a deep voice.

Major General Zhong's heart trembled when he heard this, and said secretly, sir, you really dare to say it!

Fang Jianhui scratched his head, and Shirley interjected: "General Wu, 100 million is too expensive. She said: "After we buy it, we still need to spend a lot of money to renovate, and all the modern buildings you rebuilt before will be demolished and changed back to the original style of Qingwangfu." ”

In the end, it is on the same front, Major General Zhong immediately helped: "100 million cannot be less." He cited the reasons: "You need money for renovation, and we need a lot of money to move all the people and property out of it." ”

Shirley said: "General Zhong, you and I both know that the actual price of Qingwangfu is far less than 100 million. ”

"Ms. Shirley, you have to be clear, we are talking about a royal mansion, and it cannot be measured by price alone. ”

"General Zhong, I want to remind you that the imperial capital is not the only palace. ”

"There are many palaces in the imperial capital, but none of them can compare to the Qingwang Mansion. ”

The two of them were arguing with each other, not giving an inch, and the quarrel was in full swing.

Fang Jianhui played a round and said: "Okay, okay, let's each make a step, eighty million, how about it?"

"Okay, Mr. Fang is fast, just 80 million US dollars. Vice Minister Wu accepted it when he saw it, and hurriedly knocked the words to death: "Let's talk about the specific handover steps and payment methods." ”

Half an hour later, the two sides agreed: The military will dismiss all personnel and materials within three months after the contract is signed; assist in the procedures for handing over property rights; provide engineering troops to provide services for the renovation of the palace (the cost of the project is valued at $1 million); provide outstanding veterans, organize a security team, and provide security services for the palace after the renovation is completed.

When the contract was signed, Fang Jianhui paid the first batch of 20 million US dollars, 10 million US dollars after all the property rights transfer procedures were completed, 20 million after the military was completely cleared, 20 million after the completion of the palace renovation, and the remaining 10 million US dollars after a year.

In order to prevent extraneous branches, Vice Minister Wu proposed that the two sides sign an intentional contract first. This is no problem, Fang Jianhui immediately agreed.

After everything was done, both parties were satisfied, shook hands and said goodbye, and agreed to sign a formal contract tomorrow.

Watching Fang Jianhui and the others get into the car and go away, Vice Minister Wu and Major General Zhong looked at each other and laughed, as if they had just won a big battle.

At this time, I saw several cars speeding towards them and stopped in front of them.

"Is Mr. Fang here?"

"Which Mr. Fang?"

"It's the big boss from Xiangjiang, Mr. Fang. ”

"Oh, which unit are you from?"

"We are from the management office of Prince Li's Mansion. ”

"What are you looking for Mr. Fang?"

"You, why do you have so many questions?" The person who came was very dissatisfied: "You just need to tell me, where is Mr. Fang now?"

"Oh, Mr. Fang just left. ”

"Don't say it soon!" the person complained, and immediately got in the car and left.

Vice Minister Wu and Major General Zhong glanced at each other, and secretly said that it was dangerous, if it weren't for our quick hands and feet, things would be complicated.

On the way back, Shirley complained: "Boss, why are you confused, the actual price of that palace is estimated to be not even worth two million dollars." ”

Fang Jianhui hugged her and said with a smile: "I know it's not worth so much money." However, I have my own plans. ”

"What are your plans?" Shirley said: "I can see that Major General Zhong is very tough, but if I really want to lower the price, I will definitely be able to take 10 million." ”

"You don't understand. Fang Jianhui said: "Listen to me this time." ”

That's how he thinks about it, this kind of thing like the palace, after twenty years, you can't buy it no matter how much money you spend. At that time, in a bunch of state-owned palaces, his private palace will become very eye-catching, and if he wins it at a low price at this time, it will inevitably be discussed.

Fang Jianhui doesn't mind being called a local tyrant, but he never wants to be talked about as a power-for-money transaction, a black-box operation, and the like. He directly gave a price that would still be sky-high even after twenty years, which was enough to gag most people's mouths.
