Chapter 70: The Major General's Business Experience
So the next person invited paper and ink, and drew a bet on the spot: "There is a room for Zhang Hanqing, who leads the Dongdan Yu Mansion to lead the transaction of the palace with the Rockefeller Foundation." If the work is done, 2% of the price will be paid as a gratuity and cashed on the spot. ”
Zhang Hanqing also told the buyer after he said it, because he was afraid that Yu Wangfu would put aside himself and trade with the other party on his own. No one knows which ghost Rockefeller is, but Tong Jiashi will not regret it, because Miss Zhu San is a witness by his side. What's more, for a while, they were not sure that they would be able to contact this American, so they had to guard against long nights and dreams.
With this contract, Zhang Hanqing is much more comfortable. He drove Zhu Songyun's car to the Union Medical College, found Gates, who he had just met yesterday, and told him the good news. Yesterday, there was Gu Weijun as a translator, and today, there is Miss Zhu San, who is slipping away in English.
To be honest, it is not easy to find such a place with an area of 150 acres in Dongdan, and Zhang Hanqing told Gates unreservedly that the possible transaction price of the palace is slightly higher than 200,000 yuan, which makes Gates very appreciative. With the current housing prices in Beijing, if they are pieced together, the price of getting such a large piece of land will far exceed 200,000 yuan, or even more than 500,000 yuan. Therefore, their original psychological price was also around 500,000. Xiao Zhang's words will give them the opportunity to save half of the money, of course they are happy.
"Miss Pull, I'm so glad you've done all this for us! If the deal is done, I will pay you two percent of the market, and now, we will draft the contract. ”
Reversed, that's more than 8,000 oceans of income! Zhu Songyun looked at Zhang Hanqing in surprise, and then realized that her younger brother had completed a big purchase without making a sound. No wonder, he didn't see the good scenery, so he had to pull himself in, this money fan. Having said that, I still admire his methods.
But Zhang Hanqing said very honorably: "Mr. Gates, I didn't help you for money. First, I am glad to be able to contribute to the Rockefeller Foundation, one is my brother's care, and the other is to be able to make some contributions. ”
Gates is also a very old China expert, and he thought that Zhang Hanqing was polite---- among acquaintances Chinese didn't he always have this attitude towards money? He said in a very authentic Beijing dialect: "Mr. Zhang, according to our American habit, it is called one yard to one yard." You've done us a great favor, and it's interesting enough for a friend, and I can't just leave you empty-handed. ”
Zhang Hanqing grinned and said: "Since we are friends, Mr. Gates should know that there is an old Chinese saying, 'Friends have the meaning of wealth'." If Mr. Gates feels uneasy, when that happens, it's better to treat him to dinner. ”
Gates has seen countless people in China, but it is the first time he has seen a huge amount of wealth but does not take it. He knew that Zhang Hanqing's father was the biggest warlord in Fengtian, but that didn't mean that he could treat money like dung, on the contrary, cats that didn't get fishy were quite rare. Seeing that Zhang Hanqing sincerely refused, he was very surprised.
Miss Zhu San was also surprised, the income of 4,000 oceans, Zhang Hanqing can really say that he doesn't want it, it seems that it is not right to say that he is a fan of money. It's just that, based on the fact that he was praised by several celebrities in Beijing, he is a smart man and must have great plans. The so-called contribution to the Rockefeller Foundation will be believed.
However, no one will be so stupid as to give away the money, just talk again, and there will be a lot less estrangement between the two sides. Zhang Hanqing thought that the iron needed to be struck while it was hot, and Gates also wanted to get things done quickly, and when he saw that everyone had time, he returned to Yuwang's Mansion again.
This time, the main owner appeared, and the negotiations between the two sides were less foggy. In view of Zhang Hanqing's words in advance, and Prince Yu's mansion was unwilling to lose face, the two sides traded for 125,000 US dollars, equivalent to 225,000 silver dollars. The parties agreed that after the settlement of the HSBC cashier's check on the next day, Yuwangfu would move out on the same day.
Prince Yu was the earliest one in Prince Baylor to sell the palace, not only opening a precedent for the prince to sell the palace, but also selling the palace to foreigners. This move was shocking and the response was huge, and the major newspapers in the capital rushed to report it, and there was a lot of discussion in the market, and gossip emerged one after another. Because it was carried out secretly, and when everyone learned the news from the newspaper, they had already moved into the Huangtugang Hutong of Dongsizhu Street to count the money.
The theories of the clansmen and the last Prince Yu were ridiculed. After learning that the buyer was an American, a Chinese was the son of Zhang Zuolin, a rookie in Kanto who was favored by the Minister of Internal Affairs, and that even Miss Zhu San was also a partner, he didn't dare to be verbose, and he also broke off his heart for justice. However, since then, Prince Yu and his relatives have become enemies and do not interact with each other. However, the notoriety imposed on the last Prince Yu was actually wronged.
Only Zhang Hanqing earned 4,500 oceans from his hands, which was extremely happy. In order to "repay" Zhu Songyun for her assistance and fulfill his promise, he really wanted to buy a car for her, but fortunately, Miss Zhu San finally rejected his kindness.
I don't want Xiao Zhang's younger brother to have a big rise in the Qing clan's status after this battle, and they all think that he has a way, otherwise how can he complete such an important transaction without knowing it? More than 200,000 is a sky-high price at this time! Although the morality is earth-shattering, after all, the people of the Yu Wangfu have lost their burdens and lived a good life, so several princes are also moved and privately invite Zhang Hanqing to help them sell their real estate. Among them, Prince Zhuang was very sincere and his land was quite large, and he fell into Xiao Zhang's eyes.
King Zhuang's position has always been very embarrassing among the iron hat kings. As Monson said, "King Zhuang... The prestige of merit is far below that of the kings, and they will make up a hereditary number. Among the eight iron hat kings in the early Qing Dynasty, only Prince Zhuang was not born to his wife, and he was not worthy of the Taimiao, which shows his status. It is generally believed that when Gaozong determined the eight families, he believed that there were at least two seats under the Taizong lineage, and in addition to King Su under the Taizong lineage, only the Zhuang Wang family remained. In this way, King Zhuang will enter the ranks of hereditary replacement.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Zhuang was a meritorious man, because his brother connived at the Boxers and was finally given to death, and during the Gengzi Rebellion, foreigners destroyed the palace, and the strength of King Zhuang fell sharply. Guangxu's 28th year of the knight's contribution is also rare, the Republic of China died in the fourth year, and he said Gong. Later, his eldest son Pu Xu inherited the title and was the last Prince Zhuang.
Prince Zhuang had already had the intention to sell the ancestral house, but he didn't dare to start with him, and now that Prince Yu has set a precedent, he won't hide it. He asked someone to find Zhang Hanqing and said that he would also pay off the cash at one time like the palace of Prince Yu of Bigong, quietly enter the village, and don't shoot anyone.
However, Lao Zhuang told him that the selling price of the Yu Palace's Mansion was too low, and his palace was higher than the Yu Prince's Mansion, because there was also associated ancestral property. He agreed with Zhang Hanqing that if the price could be raised to more than 400,000 yuan, he would pay double the commission.
Young Master Zhang, who had nothing to do, was also moved, anyway, is he idle if he is idle. Moreover, being able to make the former princes and nobles fall to the level of commoners, Xiao Zhang still has a lot of pleasure in revenge. In addition, from a humanitarian point of view, it is also a good thing to accumulate yin virtue so that these down-and-out families will not be guarding the gold mountain to ask for food. Of course, more importantly, the money comes quickly.
Dad has money on the one hand, and he has decided to take a different path, and it is necessary to exercise his ability in a timely manner. If it is done well, it will be more than 10,000 oceans, and the cannon can also be bought, so Zhang Hanqing can't use his brain.
As for how to raise the price of real estate, it is difficult for him, a good student from later generations. The developer's tactics such as holding up the market and reluctantly selling, hiring people to rob, etc., have been rotten in later generations, and he dismisses them (in essence, they do not match the customer's requirements for secrecy). If it is according to the traditional means, it is inevitable that there will be no other red-eyed Fang Fiber to get a share of this pie, after all, people are professional, and they always have more advantages than their own second-class dealers.
With the feeling that I would not wait, he decided to use the method of raising the property price in later generations to let Prince Zhuang's mansion sell at a good price, which is called the concept of speculation. Different from the gimmicks of school district housing, transfer of household registration, etc., his concept is a real treasure ---- real money.
The method was very simple, he arranged to let the wind out, saying that the Americans had dug up a cellar of treasures in the construction of the Yuwang Mansion into a hospital, and there was a surplus to build a few more hospitals based on it. After all, it is the ancestral house of more than ten generations, and some treasures are normal, but they are just dusted by these children of the loser who treat pearls as soil.
So with the rumors, many people flocked to Beijing, for fear that they would not be able to pick up this big leak. What is a hundred-year-old treasure, the treasure of the town house given by Emperor Kangxi, and the prince's ancestors are afraid that future generations will lose and bury an industry that is sympathetic to future generations... This kind of news has spread more and more widely, and has greatly aroused the enthusiasm of all parties.
There is no doubt that Prince Yu's Mansion has been acquired, but there are several other palaces, so there are buyers who rushed to negotiate business, Zhang Hanqing, as a representative, successfully raised the house price to 500,000, more than double that of Yu Wangfu. Prince Zhuang knows the details, so, with gratitude, according to the agreement, Zhang Hanqing will receive 20,000 oceans at a time.
As a result, Miss Zhu San, who knew the inside story, admired her little brother like a surging river...
It seems that Zhu Qichao was quite satisfied with Zhang Hanqing's approach, making him a frequent visitor to the Zhu family. However, in this uncertain season, some thoughts will only be hidden in the heart, after all, the adults have not met yet. On the contrary, Zhu Qichao twice advocated giving priority to the distribution of a large amount of police supplies to Fengtian Province, on the grounds that Fengtian is too close to Beijing, and its safety directly affects the capital.
Naturally, Zhang Zuolin, who got cheap, understood this, and he had already heard about Feng Delin's father and son in Beijing. Feng climbed the high branch of Jiang Chaozong, he was very satisfied with Zhang Hanqing's quick response to Zhu Qichao, and wrote a letter to Lao Zhu himself, asking him to cultivate Zhang Hanqing Yunyun, which is the rhythm of the two families to become a good family. If it weren't for the evolution of the political situation later, it would have been a matter of course for the Zhang and Zhu families to get married in advance.
It's a pity that the fly in the ointment is that because the profits have made a lot of money, many Fang Fiber have targeted other palaces and robbed Zhang Hanqing's business. But it doesn't hurt, he has a huge amount of money, and his vision is also high, and he has risen to a new level of making money.
