Chapter 537: Greedy for Small Gains and Big Losses
Under normal circumstances, such a strange thing happened to the Xu family's commercial center, either there was something evil at work, or there was a big problem with the feng shui of the commercial center.
As the richest family in the Tiandaomen, the Xu family has a good relationship with many families and sects in the Tiandaomen.
After several people committed suicide by jumping off the building in that commercial center, the Xu family invited people from the Zhengyi Sect and the Maoshan Sect to come over.
But except for a few unjust souls who jumped off the building and died, the people of the Zhengyi Sect and the Maoshan Sect did not find anything evil that could harm people in that commercial center.
And those unjust souls who jumped off the building and died had only been dead for a long time, and they had no ability to harm people.
In this case, the people of the Zhengyi faction and the Maoshan Sect told the head of the Xu family that the reason why this commercial center had one after another accidents was probably due to feng shui problems.
Seeing that the people of the Zhengyi faction and the Maoshan Sect said this, the head of the Xu family found a lot of so-called feng shui masters to change the feng shui of the commercial center.
In order to change the feng shui of this commercial center, the Xu family spent at least tens of millions of dollars on those so-called feng shui masters alone.
Even the head of the Xu family even invited people from the Shao family in Kaifeng and the Chen family in Mai, but it still didn't play any role.
A week ago, after another person committed suicide by jumping from the fourth floor of the commercial center, the head of the Xu family went to the Mai Chen family to ask the head of the Mai Chen family to help him change the feng shui of the commercial center.
But the head of the Mai Chen family said that their Chen family is best at fortune-telling, and if you want to talk about feng shui formations, in the entire physiognomy world, we are respected by the same vein.
Our Feng Shui Circle has been famous all over the world since ancient times.
In fact, after the head of the Mai Chen family said this, the head of the Xu family originally planned to come to Xi'an to find me.
But at this time, the three families in the northeast, the Xia family in Chengdu, and the Ma family in the northwest all announced that they would leave the Tiandao Gate and join the Tianji Gate.
In this way, the Tianji Gate is on the opposite side of the Tiandao Gate, and the Tiandao Gate is likely to suppress the Tianji Gate, and it is even impossible to destroy the Tianji Gate.
In this case, in order to avoid suspicion, the head of the Xu family could only give up his plan.
Yesterday, I received a notice from the official and Tiandaomen, saying that Qin Chuchu and I were going to come to Shanghai to solve the case of Zhenlongzhu, and asked the Xu family to fully cooperate with the two of us.
This made the head of the Xu family feel an unexpected surprise.
You must know that to build a commercial center in Shanghai's commercial zone, the Xu family has invested a huge amount of money.
The amount of money invested in land and property alone is at least about 500 million.
Originally, I thought that this commercial center would make a huge profit for the Xu family after it was put into use.
But in the past few years, this commercial center has been in a state of loss, and the Xu family has to lose tens of millions of dollars every year.
Especially after three people committed suicide by jumping off a building in the commercial center this year, the popularity of this commercial center has become worse and worse.
Offices can't be rented, and there are more salespeople than customers in shopping malls and supermarkets.
Even if the Xu family's family has a big business, they can't withstand such a loss.
Because of this commercial center, the head of the Xu family has countless gray hairs.
In this case, I, the descendant of the Tianji lineage, the master of the Tianji Gate, came to Shanghai in person, how could he not be surprised?
I want to solve the case of Zhenlongzhu, and I am afraid that I need the help of the Xu family in many aspects, so I must give the face of the head of the Xu family.
Although it has not been long since the thirty years mentioned by the Zen master, there is still no big problem with delaying it for a day or two.
After lunch, I asked the head of the Xu family to take me to the commercial center.
This commercial center is located on the Second Ring Road, which is the most prosperous area in Shanghai.
But exactly like what the head of the Xu family said, the popularity of this commercial center has reached its peak.
There are few pedestrians on the pedestrian street, the renovated golden office buildings are half empty, the shopping malls and supermarkets are deserted, and there are not even a few shadows of people in sight.
But after looking around all the places and around the entire business center, I basically knew it.
In the afternoon, after returning to the hotel that the head of the Xu family arranged for me, I asked about the specific situation of this commercial center.
The head of the Xu family has a lot of money, and the three rooms he arranged for us were all presidential suites.
After entering the room, I politely invited the head of the Xu family to sit down, and then asked him: "Master Xu, I don't know that the design company designed this commercial center for you when it was built?" ”
Hearing my words, the head of the Xu family frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he replied to me: "Because this project is relatively large, the bidding was carried out at that time, and it seems that a Japanese-funded design company won the bid!" ”
Hearing the words of the head of the Xu family, I could basically guess what was going on.
"There are so many design institutes and design companies in our country, why do you want to use a Japanese-funded design company?" I asked the head of the Xu family.
And the expression on my face when I asked this looked a little puzzled, and even looked at the head of the Xu family with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
The Xu family's commercial center cost a lot of money, but the Xu family let the Japanese-funded design company earn the design fee, which is difficult for me to accept.
It's like a lot of people who go all the way to Japan to buy a toilet and come back, and I can't understand it.
Why do so many people always think that the moon is round in foreign countries and regard foreigners as superior?
Even the head of the Xu family, a local tyrant among the local tyrants, thinks that Japanese design companies are better than our Chinese ones!
In this case, in the face of my somewhat dissatisfied gaze, the head of the Xu family was a little embarrassed.
After pondering for a moment and organizing the language, the head of the Xu family explained the reason to me.
"Mr. Xiao Jiang, our Xu family has been in business for generations, so no matter what, we usually consider things from the perspective of business interests!"
"I'll give you a rough explanation of the rules for the design, and when you listen to me, you should be able to understand that the Japanese-funded design company that we Xujiahui chose won the bid!"
I nodded and asked the head of the Xu family to continue.
I saw the head of the Xu family say: "Under normal circumstances, the design fee of a construction project is charged according to 6/1000 of the cost of the entire project!" ”
"At that time, there were several design companies bidding at the same time, and the design fees of several other companies were all charged at the normal price, but only the Japanese company said that they only charged us half of the design fee in order to open up the market to give a special price! That is, three thousandths of the cost of the entire project! ”
"And the most important point is that the design plan of the Japanese-funded design company has no problem in our opinion, and it is even more perfect than the plan of the domestic design companies!"
"From the perspective of our Xu family, the choice of the Japanese-funded design company can save our Xu family tens of millions, so ......".
Speaking of this, the head of the Xu family will not go on, but the meaning of his words is very clear.
The so-called greed for small and cheap and big losses, even the Xu family, who has been in business for generations, will also make such a mistake.
Although tens of millions of design fees have been saved, just because of this small bargain, the Xu family has lost hundreds of millions.
If my guess is correct, the design company that provided the Xu family with the design plan is definitely inseparable from the Ishihara family.
And the reason why the Ishihara family did this must be to weaken the strength of the Xu family, the richest family in the Heavenly Dao Sect.
As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but sigh and said, "Master Xu, the commercial center of your Xu family, there is indeed a problem with feng shui, and there is a big, big problem!" ”
Hearing what I said, the head of the Xu family asked, "There is a problem with feng shui there, can you tell me more specifically, Mr. Jiang?" ”
Next, I will tell you the problems I found in Feng Shui in this commercial center of the Xu family, one by one.
When I first said it, the head of the Xu family was still calm and calm.
But the more I went down, the more ugly the face of the head of the Xu family became.
After I finished speaking, the extremely angry head of the Xu family completely exploded.
"Good you Yamada Design Company, good you little Japan, I grass your ancestors!"
