The black Bentley quickly drove out of the urban area of Jiangcheng, Maodou talked with the old man all the way, and also figured out some basic information about the other party, the old man's name is Ma Shihao, the chairman of the Ma Foundation, and the young man driving in front of him is called Ma Bi, a distant grandson of the old man, and now he is driving for Ma Shihao in the company. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"The Ma Consortium?" Edamame took the business card handed over by Ma Shihao, scratched his head, and asked with some confusion: "What kind of unit is it?" ”

Ma Bi, who was driving in front, shook his hand, the car was slightly bumpy, Ma Shihao glanced forward with some dissatisfaction, turned around and said with a smile: "It's just a small company, usually engaged in investment, financial management or something, just to make money." ”

"Oh." Edamame nodded, stuffed the business card into his trouser pocket, thought for a while and said, "Old man, is it very risky to do your business?" ”

Ma Shihao was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Why did Master Mao ask that?" ”

Edamame said: "Some time ago, a unit like you also opened opposite Fanlaixiang, and it was also said that it was investment and financial management, and many neighbors in the neighborhood invested money in it, but it was seized by the police within two months, saying that it was engaged in illegal fundraising." ”

The corners of Ma Bi's eyes twitched, and he finally couldn't help it, and said with a sneer: "Master Mao, it's really not wrong to say that you don't have knowledge, you actually compare our Ma consortium with those pheasant companies?" I'm not afraid to tell you that at least half of the real estate in this Jiangcheng city was built by our Ma family, and three of the five five-star hotels in the city were opened by us! I can even tell you that not only in a Jiangcheng city, but also in the number one enterprises in the province, our consortium has more or less shares! ”

Speaking of this, Ma Bi let out a disdainful chuckle again, and said with some disdain: "But it's useless to tell you this, you don't understand it anyway!" ”

Ma Shihao didn't scold Ma Bi this time, just sat quietly in the back row, his eyes slightly closed, as if he hadn't heard Ma Bi's somewhat mean words. The Ma consortium is his life's work and his pride, and what Edamame just said did make him feel a little unhappy.

Edamame knew that he had made a joke at this time, but Ma Bi's high-minded tone also made him very unhappy, so he shrugged his nose and began to stop talking.

Ma Shihao didn't seem to have any interest in continuing to talk at this time, and the car suddenly fell into a somewhat awkward silence.

After driving for another half an hour, the car finally turned into a small road next to the avenue, and continued to drive for about ten minutes, when an old manor finally appeared in front of Edamame's eyes.

The car slowly drove into the manor and stopped in front of a small three-story building, and as soon as the car stopped, Ma Bi hurriedly jumped out of the car and opened the door on Ma Shihao's side of the car diligently.

"Grandpa, you take a rest first, the Master Zhuge I told you about some time ago happened to be here today, I have to go to the airport to pick it up."

Ma Shihao glanced at the edamame who had just gotten out of the car, and found that the other party did not react, so he hesitated slightly and nodded slightly.

Looking at Ma Bi without looking at himself, he just said hello to Ma Shihao and drove out of the manor again, Maodou touched his nose, smiled self-deprecatingly, and began to look at the place in front of him.

This manor is different from the new villas of today, whether it is the stone fence or the small three-story building crawling with plants, it looks full of historical vicissitudes.

There were no manicured lawns or carved sculptures in the vast manor, only an overgrown meadow in front of the building, and a cracked cement parking lot in the middle of the meadow.

Behind the small building was a dense forest of indecipherable size, only a small area close to the small building could be seen that it had been clearly cleared, and the rest of the place was overgrown with tall trees and dense bushes, with only a masonry path winding into the dark depths.

Depressed, shabby and a little gloomy, this is Edamame's first impression of this manor.

"Master Mao, please!" Ma Shihao stood in front of the door of the small building and said to the edamame who was still looking around.

He was also a little uncertain in his heart at this time, although he and Captain Zhang had been old friends for many years, and he also believed very much in Lao Zhang, the captain of the criminal police, who looked at people, but the young man in front of him was stupid, and he didn't look like the worldly master that Captain Zhang said.

However, years of experience in the business field have taught him not to make conclusions about a person easily, so although he has been a little shaken in his heart at this time, he still behaves politely on the surface.

Edamame followed Ma Shihao into the small building, and there was a spacious hall in the middle, with a staircase leading to the second floor in the center, and the decoration of the building was also in the style of the 80s of the 20th century, with broken crystal chandeliers, stained white lime walls, and terrazzo floors with a thick layer of ash on the floor, and the room was empty and had no furnishings.

The whole building was covered with dust, and it was obvious that no one had lived in it for a long time, and as soon as Edamame entered the door, he was sneezed by the flying dust, and after looking around, he said, "Old man, your house has not been inhabited for a while." ”

Ma Shihao waved his hand to drive away the dust in front of him, nodded and said: "This house used to be the residence of an officer of the national army, after the liberation of the hands of several hands, the last owner is a returned overseas Chinese, no children and no relatives, after his death this house was nationalized, has been vacant for many years, I also bought this place some time ago." ”

"Oh." Edamame looked up at the house again and nodded, the previous construction industry did not have so many tofu scum projects now, not to mention that this house was built by an officer at that time, and the labor and materials were very solid.

Although so many years have passed, except for the appearance of the old one, the main structure of the small building is still intact.

"The place is really good, and it can be well organized."

Ma Shihao glanced at Edamame a little strangely when he heard this, and said, "Who said that I want to live in it, I bought this house to demolish it." ”

Edamame doesn't understand it, dismantle it? Why should a good house be demolished? Is the rich man's hobby so strange? Nothing to do to buy a house to tear down and play?

Ma Shihao has been working for so many years, and when he saw Edamame's ignorant appearance, he knew that he didn't understand what he meant, so he thought about it and said, "Xiaomao, do you know what CBD is?" ”

Edamame scratched his head, not noticing the change in Ma Shihao's name for himself, and replied with a blank face: "Sebidi...... What is it? ”

Ma Shihao frowned, his face was a little helpless, but he still patiently explained: "This CBD is the meaning of the central business district, simply put, it is the center of a city, this area brings together a large number of large companies in various fields such as finance, commerce, trade, information, etc., and also has a large number of business offices, hotels, apartments, exhibitions, culture and entertainment, which can be said to be the most prosperous place in the whole city." ”

Edamame seemed to understand a little, but after thinking about it, he asked, "But isn't this city center all in the city, and what does it have to do with the old house now?" ”
