Zhu Jianqiu took his wife and mixed a dance, walked up to Xiao Yifei and asked softly:

"Brother Xiao, Mr. Summerer asked you to come over just now, and I see that you talked very happily. What the hell are you in business? ”

There is no need to keep Xiao Yifei confidential when he bought CBS stocks, and Lei Shidong himself has told others just now.

"I bought some shares in CBS the other day and talked to Mr. Summer, so we got to know each other."

"That's a good thing, how much did you buy?"

"About 4%, but it's a B share that can only pay dividends." The matter of A-shares is still to be kept secret.

"4%, that's a lot, how much does that cost?"

"More than 300 million. However, it was bought with a loan, and the stock was also mortgaged to the bank. ”

"Brother Xiao, I can't see that you are so rich, brother, I have a business I want to talk to you about."

Xiao Yifei is very strange, isn't he in the chemical fiber business, he is not interested in flower skewers, if he gets a strengthened variety of cotton in the future, he can do a cotton textile business.

"Brother, I am doing business in Hemudu City, and I bought the chemical fiber factory a long time ago, and then I moved the factory to the suburbs, and the land of the chemical fiber factory in the city was vacated. I plan to build that piece of land into a Hemudu Garden Square, and the formalities are almost complete, but because of the financial crisis, the funds are now a little difficult. ”

Xiao Yifei finally understands now, from the beginning, why these two people always inquired about his worth, and knew that he was rich. Why does Xiao Yifei always feel that there is a problem when he looks at each other, it turns out that the root is here. This is to let Xiao Yifei invest in them, and it is to invest in real estate.

Xiao Yifei immediately thought of the housing prices in China, when he was a yard farmer in the magic capital, he hated the housing prices in the magic capital. Listening to Li Qinglin, who is in China, the housing prices in the magic capital have soared this year. Many developers are reluctant to sell, and when Xiao Yifei asked him if he needed to lend him money to buy a house, he said no.

Now that housing prices have soared and developers have begun to hold their hands on the market and reluctant to sell, Zhu Jianqiu should be able to find money to invest. Coupled with the trillions of money printed, it should be easier for him to get loans from banks in the context of quantitative easing, so why should he invest himself?

Regarding Xiao Yifei's question, Zhu Jianqiu's answer was that he took out a loan. But the money from the loan was used to buy other plots of land, and other real estate merchants did the same. And he said that because of the economic crisis, several of his textile materials were also misappropriated part of the loan. This has led to the fact that Hemudu Garden Square is now out of money.

At this time, Wang Nan finished dancing with others, and came over to find Xiao Yifei with two glasses of champagne. Zhu Jianqiu saw her coming over and quickly ended the topic:

"Brother, I believe you also know what kind of profit it is to engage in real estate in China, think about it. I wonder if my brother is free tomorrow? ”

"Free."

"Then don't mind if we talk about the project in detail tomorrow."

Seeing Xiao Yifei nodding, he raised his glass and left to chat with others.

Wang Nan handed Xiao Yifei a glass of champagne. Curiously asked:

"What are you talking about?"

"They want to invest in me."

"Investment? What kind of business? ”

"What do you care about?"

"I'm curious."

"Drink your champagne."

At this time, a voice with a strong accent came from behind him:

"Hi, you're Shaw from number 40?"

Xiao Yifei turned around. When he found out that it was an Arab, he immediately thought that this should be one of the two Saudi princes in the community, and from this point in time, it should not be His Royal Highness the Second Crown Prince.

"Hello, you are Prince Turki of No. 74?"

The prince nodded. Xiao Yifei glanced at the juice that the prince was holding in his hand, and he hurriedly whispered to Wang Nan:

"Go and bring me a glass of juice."

Xiao Yifei knows that Saudi Arabia is a country that prohibits alcohol, although everyone must drink after going abroad, and it is also necessary to divide the occasion. It doesn't matter how much he drinks in private or when they're all acquaintances, and even a person of the status of a prince has no problem drinking privately in the country. But at a formal drinking party like the one now, Turki definitely can't drink, and Xiao Yifei had better drink juice in order to show respect for him.

Although Xiao Yifei didn't know his neighbors one by one, he still read the public information on the Internet and knew about the Saudi prince in front of him.

Turki now serves as Saudi Arabia's environment minister, a position that, while expensive, is a derogatory position compared to what he was previously responsible for. Because he has an old man who is the Minister of Defense, and his father-in-law is the current First Crown Prince Sultan, and Turki was in charge of arms procurement in the Air Force at that time. Unfortunately, when he was purchasing Tornado fighter jets from British Aerospace Systems (BAE), he accepted huge bribes from the British.

The most unfortunate thing is that this incident was kicked out by the British themselves, and it was exposed by the British themselves' internal opponents, and in order to hit the opponents, the British media chased him and pulled him out. Then the parliament will investigate BAE's bribery case, which will make him and Saudi Arabia embarrassed. The Saudi royal family has come forward several times to demand that the UK stop the investigation, but the voices in the UK have always been one after another, and even Prime Minister Tony Blair later ordered the investigation to be stopped.

Speaking of which, this matter is also that they are too ugly. The contract between Saudi Arabia and BAE is not complicated, that is, since the 80s of the last century, BAE has provided Saudi Arabia with 120 Tornado fighters, 50 Eagle high-level aircraft, 50 PC9 primary education aircraft, and of course some anti-runway ammunition, missiles and other weapons and equipment.

However, the amount of the entire contract is more scary, as high as 45 billion pounds, and there is still 40 billion pounds of profit margin in the future. In other words, Saudi Arabia spent at least 85 billion pounds, (at least 500 billion yuan) to buy this batch of weapons and equipment.

But in fact, if it is replaced with the familiar domestic weapons, it is almost 120 J-7, 50 K8, and 50 Chujiao-6. If you change it to China, instead of 500 billion, you will give 100 billion yuan. China guarantees that even the pilot of the plane and the instructor will lend it to you.

You calculate, an average of 200 million pounds per aircraft, even the F22 fighter jet is not so expensive, it is simply the price of a bad plane sold for B2.

According to the British, it cost 100 million pounds to bribe members of the Saudi royal family, though. Everyone knows that the bribe is definitely not more than 100 million, and it is definitely not just Turki alone, otherwise, the Saudi royal family would not have threatened Britain to interrupt the investigation by severing diplomatic relations with Britain in 2006. So because Prince Turki helped many people carry the charges, especially for his father-in-law, Saudi Arabia's first crown prince and defense minister Sultan carried mines, so he was only transferred to the post of environment minister. You know, Saudi Arabia has a record of expelling or depriving the prince. made such a big scandal, why did he just transfer things, and it wasn't because someone wanted to protect him.

China and Saudi Arabia have always had a good relationship, and even sold the killer weapon to Saudi Arabia, and Turki was in charge of arms procurement, although the killer weapon was bought by his father-in-law Sultan himself, but he also knew something inside. Therefore, it is also friendly to Xiao Yifei, a Chinese.

After chatting for a while, Wang Nan came over with juice. Xiao Yifei took the juice and toasted with the prince and took a sip.

Turki asked:

"I heard you're renting out the 40th?"

Xiao Yifei was puzzled. Turki already has No. 74, does he still want to rent it?

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Someone wants to rent No. 40."

Xiao Yifei is very happy, to be honest, a mansion like No. 40 is not easy to rent, because it is hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. It's millions a year, and with this money, you can buy a good house outside.

"May I ask who wants to rent it?"

"Do you have time tomorrow?"

"Well, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

I had just sent off Prince Turki when I found that the governor had come over. Could it be that this position is an auspicious position in Feng Shui? Or are you too attractive?

After chatting, I found out that the governor was here to solicit sponsorship, but not for himself, but for the Republican Party.

The end of 2010 is just around the corner. A new gubernatorial race is about to be held. California law says that a person can only serve two terms as governor in his lifetime, and now Schwarzenegger certainly has no chance to come out and run for a third governor, but the Republican Party still has to send someone to run for governor.

For California, as we all know, it is the traditional territory of the Democratic Party, although the Republican Party can often win the governorship in California, but unfortunately in the state Senate, it is the world of the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party can only be a minority party. Especially in Hollywood, there is one thing that people often say that they want to see many stars, and that is to go to the Democratic Party's fundraising party. In last year's U.S. presidential campaign, someone simply counted that Obama of the Democratic Party raised 5.2 million in campaign funds from the entertainment industry, while his opponent McCain raised only 880,000. It is also said that in Hollywood showbiz, the supporters of the Democratic Party are 10 times with the Republican Party.

As for American politics, Xiao Yifei has long considered that he must become big in the future, so he must be linked to politics. At present, there are two major parties in the United States, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, and other miscellaneous small parties, such as the newly emerging Tea Party, are not in Xiao Yifei's consideration at all, and the Tea Party has not received much support from both Americans and outsiders except for opposing Obama, which makes Xiao Yifei interested. This support is not a verbal shout, but a real expression of the ballot.

Xiao Yifei doesn't know much about the policies of the two parties, but he only knows one thing anyway, the Republican Party advocates small government, low welfare, and tax cuts. These points are very suitable for Xiao Yifei's appetite, especially tax cuts, tax cuts mean that Xiao Yifei can get more money, and now California's taxes are indeed too high, sales tax is high, corporate tax is high, personal income tax is high, and a large number of enterprises have outflowed. With such a high tax burden, California is still in the process of bankruptcy.

California, which claims to be the world's seventh-largest economy and the richest state in the United States, has been driven to bankruptcy. On the other hand, Texas, the second millennium leader in the United States, has no state income tax at all. He didn't dare to withhold the benefits that the federal government should have, but other benefits were not available in Texas. However, even if there are these benefits, Xiao Yifei does not enjoy them, so he must support low taxes. He wants California to have as low corporate taxes as Texas, no state taxes, and these taxes are out of his pocket.

Why is California nicknamed the Republic of California? It is because the Democratic Party has always pursued a set of policies of high welfare and big government. The result is this bottomless pit of finances, which has caused debt to skyrocket, causing the city to go bankrupt, the county to bankrupt, and now the state to go bankrupt.

After a brief chat with the governor, he expressed his support for the Republican Party. Schwarzenegger just learned a lot of Xiao Yifei from Lei Shidong and knew that this was a rich man. Schwarzenegger is engaged in politics, and he still has a grasp of the dynamics of various voters, and according to the statistics of each election, basically half of the Chinese Americans are non-partisan, 35% support the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party only has 15% support. He was still very happy to meet a wealthy man who supported the Republican Party, and immediately invited him to participate in the Republican Party's fundraising reception.

Xiao Yifei asked softly in confusion:

"Doesn't that mean you can't accept donations and donations from foreigners? I still have a green card and I don't have the right to vote. ”

Schwarzenegger didn't say anything. Just invited him to a cocktail party and said that the invitation would arrive later. Xiao Yifei calculated the time, he should be at the winery at that time.

Schwarzenegger immediately said he could attend a fundraising reception in the capital next month, and said that the invitation letter would be sent to the winery later.

After sending off Schwarzenegger, Xiao Yifei got to know a lot of neighbors, and after 10 o'clock, he and Wang Nan left the party.

Back home. Xiao Yifei walked towards the round cigar room.

Wang Nan asked in surprise:

"Aren't you resting?"

Xiao Yifei turned around and said:

"I still have some things to think about."

"Tell me something."

"Investment thing. You don't care. ”

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Xiao Yifei was afraid that she would continue to be coquettish, so he could only answer simply:

"Zhu Jianqiu wants me to invest in a real estate project in his hands."

"I mean, the two of them look at you like a piece of fat, and they want to pull investment from you."

"What is fat meat, you said that Tang monk meat is better than fat meat."

"Those are the little things, where is their project? It must be domestic, you have to think about it. Domestic developers are not simple. ”

Zhu Jianqiu said that his project is located in Hemudu. The city of Hemudu, Xiao Yifei had heard of it before.

Speaking of Hemudu, I have to say one person, that is, the Yangming Duke Shouren, who appears in many Ming novels. Wang Shouren's grandfather Wang Lun was a great Confucian, and his father Wang Hui was the champion. It can be described as a family of poets and books. Since he was a child, he has loved to learn, and he can be described as both civil and military. The aspect of the text is to create one of the mainstream theories in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Yangming Xinxue, and the Yangming School, advocating "heart is etiquette", "unity of knowledge and action" and "to conscience". On the military side, he exterminated the Jiangxi bandits, quelled the rebellion of King Ning, and the governor Liangguang cleared the rebels.

It is his civil and military skills, Xu Wenchang, Huang Zongxi, Ji Xiaolan, Yan Fu, Liang Qichao, Sun Cannon, Cai Yuanpei, Guo Moruo and others all praised him, and even the god of war of the Japanese Navy, known as the Oriental Nelson, Togo Heihachiro, said that "all his life bowed his head and worshiped Yangming".

Hemudu also has the famous archaeological site of Hemudu in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which proves that there was a civilization in the south of the Yangtze River more than 6,000 years ago, and the world's earliest evidence of artificial cultivation of rice has been found here.

Xiao Yifei's understanding of Hemudu City is limited to this, where is the specific chemical fiber factory plot, what is the future of this project or what is the way of money, what is the character of Zhu Jianqiu, etc., but he does not know. He had to think about it carefully today, otherwise he wouldn't be able to talk about it tomorrow.

"So I'm going to think about it, and tomorrow they're going to keep lobbying."

"He said he was from Hemudu? Do you want me to inquire for you? ”

"You? You're not from Hemudu. ”

"Don't look down on people, I'm from Yongzhou, and Hemudu is also in Yongzhou, okay, maybe I know what project to see?"

"Zhu Jianqiu wants to build Hemudu Square on the original chemical fiber factory plot."

"Hemudu Square? I seem to have heard it, but unfortunately I can't remember it clearly, why don't I help you ask my dad? ”

Xiao Yifei thought about it, Hemudu belongs to Yongzhou, and her father is the third-in-command of a district in Yongzhou, and he is also in the system, and his position is not bad, so he must be able to find out a lot of project information. Although Xiao Yifei has his own channels, it is estimated that he did not inquire in as much detail as he did.

"Won't it be troublesome?"

Wang Nan took out his mobile phone and said lightly:

"What's the trouble, he didn't tell his subordinates to do it."

It's daytime in the country right now, and the time is right. After the phone was connected, it was estimated that Wang Nan's father was blaming her for not going home during the winter vacation, and was fooled by her coquettishness, Xiao Yifei had goosebumps when he heard it.

"Dad, let me ask you something, have you heard of the project of Hemudu Plaza?"

Hearing that he was down to business, Xiao Yifei pricked up his ears, and could vaguely hear his father asking:

"Why do you ask this?"

"Dad, I'll just ask, have you heard of it?"

"Hemudu Square, which used to be known as the tallest building in Yuci, just held a groundbreaking ceremony a few days ago, and of course I heard about it."

"Then can you give me some information, I need to do the project."

Wang Nan is too tender, how can this kind of nonsense deceive an old fox like his father.

"What kind of subject do you want this, let's be honest, what are you doing with this, I won't help you if you don't tell the truth."

"I met Zhu Jianqiu today, and he wanted to pull my friend to invest in this project."

"Your friend? How much money does your friend have? Didn't they lie to you together? ”

"Oh, I promise I'm not a liar."

"Nan Nan, you won't have a foreign boyfriend, right? No, you'll be back tomorrow. ”

"No, it's just an ordinary friend, a newcomer."

"There are many banana people in California who specifically deceive us Chinese, you have too little experience and are easy to be fooled, no, you better come back."

Then the father and daughter couldn't go back, and the topic began to argue, pulling and pulling Wang Nan to get angry and hang up the phone. When she turned around and saw Xiao Yifei, she found that she hadn't finished talking about business, so she could only say to Xiao Yifei apologetically:

"I'm sorry, my dad just tried every possible way to trick me into going back, and forgot to get down to business."

"It's okay, I'll just find someone to inquire locally."

"Do you know someone from Hemudu?"

"Of course I do."

Xiao Yifei was telling the truth, he did know the people of Hemudu, but he hadn't decided whether to learn about the project through this way. (To be continued......)
