Chapter 100: Welfare Homes
Looking at Perez's suspicious expression, Zhang Yang couldn't laugh or cry.
"Do you think ...... I want to take her back as a maid, right? β
"That's not exactly, I think the little girl is also very beautiful, and it's not bad to be a maid or something, who knows if you have such an idea?"
Perez generously admitted it, but was gladly gouged out by Zhang Yang, and was completely speechless for this guy's crankiness.
Since the two became familiar with each other, Perez's unreliable character was gradually revealed, which surprised Zhang Yang, but he didn't expect Perez, who was cool and handsome all day long in front of other team members, but he was an idle gossip man in his bones.
"It's not what you think, I just look at her pitiful, and reach out to help her, if she is allowed to go back to the welfare home according to the current situation, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat."
Speaking of this, Zhang Yang patted Perez's shoulder and said with a smile: "As a test of your training level, I will leave the matter of cleaning up that Sister Serena to you, by the way, inquire about the news of that welfare home, if we can buy it, find someone who is not directly related to us to come forward and take over, we may expose our identity, if we don't come forward, I will pay the funds." β
"You're real."
Perez was a little incredulous, originally thought that Zhang Yang was just talking about fun, but he didn't expect to really promise to help the little girl deal with the welfare home, but after seeing Zhang Yang's sure look, he nodded and didn't ask more.
"Okay, leave this matter to me, I'll check the news of that place tomorrow, and the person who takes over is easy to find. It should be fine. β
"Then I'll trouble you, I'll treat you to Chinese food when you get to China."
"Yes, you want to send me away for a meal? At least a month! β
"You and I are the year. It's also a month, up to three meals, and more is free to talk about. β
"Three meals is three meals, but I want to eat the best, don't tell me that you don't have money now."
Perez rolled his eyes and smoked a cigarette, chattering and haggling with Zhang Yang for three dinners, where can you see a little shadow of the Rockefeller family on his body? I don't know, I thought this was a thug who ate on the street.
It couldn't have been better if it had been left to Perez. First, as Zhang Yang said, after all, the two of them were mixed in by the allies, and they were in danger of being exposed. The receiver of the welfare home must find someone who has nothing to do with them, and if something happens, he can escape the catastrophe. In Europe, if you only talk about connections and influence, Zhang Yang and Perez are obviously incomparable, and there are ready-made human resources that do not need to be used in vain. Zhang Yang is also happy to ask for a quiet.
Time passed in the discussion between the two. The two of them almost returned to their rooms to rest in the second half of the night, and they didn't wake up until noon the next day, and the first thing after getting up, Zhang Yang asked the shopkeeper's daughter to help Hersha buy two new clothes, this money is nothing to Zhang Yang, who is "wealthy" at the moment, and the change money is regarded as consumption, and the shopkeeper's attitude towards the two is more and more respectful.
Any God of Wealth is an object that needs to be stammered, and he can't do business without being able to pull it off. The owner of the shop simply put his daughter by Zhang Yang and Perez's side, and tried to do the best he could.
"Hersha. I went to try on new clothes with this sister, and I didn't know if the size was right for me. β
Zhang Yang called Hesha out, and when he saw the clothes in the hands of the shopkeeper's daughter, Hesha's eyes suddenly widened, they were two thick and warm new clothes!
As she had seen that night, there was a small red padded jacket and a pair of matching thick cotton shoes, compared to which the thin skirt worn on the body was not ordinary shabby.
"Thank you, Mr. Fan." Hersha bowed respectfully to Zhang Yang to express her gratitude, and the title of Mr. Fan was a pseudonym that Zhang Yang changed after coming to France.
"Go ahead."
Not long after, with the help of the owner's daughter, when Hesha, who had changed into a new dress, came out again, Zhang Yang's eyes were also bright. The thick little padded jacket covers the less obvious body curves, and with cute cotton boots, the whole person is like a cute doll.
"It's good, you don't have to change your clothes, you bought them for you to wear, what's the matter if you try them and take them off?"
Zhang Yang looked at Hesha who was carefully preparing to take off her new clothes, and the little girl obviously didn't react: "This, isn't this just worn during the festival?" I'm going to wear my old dress. β
"Can such a thin skirt keep out the cold?" Zhang Yang's face fell, and he frightened: "The clothes are sold to you to wear now, I order you not to take them off, if you want to keep those old clothes as a souvenir, let this sister help you wash them and wrap them." β
The final result naturally ended with the triumph of flamboyant stubbornness, and the little girl Hersha excitedly touched the new clothes on her body, which was the one that needed to be sold for ten francs in the store, and the warm boots on her feet, Hersha almost forgot about the cold storage zΓ i for a while.
"Such a person is certainly not a bad person, you must know that even if you sell me, you will not be able to sell it for ten francs! Not to mention this one! β
Hersha's vigilance against Zhang Yang has been reduced to the minimum, not to mention that Zhang Yang was the one who saved her life, and Zhang Yang quickly won Hersha's approval.
And Perez went out early in the morning, since Zhang Yang had already told him, then things should be as soon as possible, after all, after the assassination of Major General Lucas in two days, Paris should usher in a very tense period, and it will not be so easy to operate at that time.
Relying on his connections in France, PΓ©rez soon obtained detailed information about the small orphanage, which was founded by a Catholic nun named Mia Johanna, which was originally a small abandoned Catholic church, and later Sister Mia traveled around and raised a sum of money to renovate the house and use it as a welfare home.
Due to the small size of the orphanage, there were only eleven orphans at most, two of whom had already reached adulthood and left the house, and two who died of disease and gunfire, leaving only seven now. And Sister Mia also died of pneumonia in the year after year, and the person who took over the welfare home was an obese nun named Serena, who was invited by Sister Mia from a Catholic church before her death.
Perez was a little embarrassed, and Sister Mia, who was probably dead, didn't expect that the Catholic nun Serena she had found was two completely different people, and the seven orphans in the orphanage were suddenly in dire straits after her arrival. During this period, people also came to the door to inquire about seven situations, but unfortunately the seven little ones were afraid of Serena's intimidation and did not dare to say anything, and the matter was over.
However, after hearing that Perez seemed to be interested in buying the orphanage, the person in charge of providing information to Perez quickly came up with the good news, that is, this Sister Serena was only entrusted by Sister Mia to take care of the orphans during her lifetime, and did not actually own the orphanage. The ownership is still in the hands of Sister Mina, according to Sister Mia's will, this welfare home can be transferred and sold, but the purchaser must keep the deposit of the welfare home, that is to say, whether the land is demolished, turned over or planted in the future, as long as the legal text is still there, then a welfare home must be built accordingly, of course, the location can be changed.
In addition to these points, the buyer's requirements are that all the orphans in the welfare home before the acquisition must be taken care of, which is a property right document that has obtained legal justice, and it is also the reason why no one is willing to buy this welfare home, you must know that after the death of Sister Mia, there are several waves of people who have tried to buy this place one after another, ready to change it to other uses, but it is obviously not in their vested interests to build a welfare home, so they simply gave up.
The legal text was placed in the hands of a priest in a nearby Catholic church, which is why Sister Serena only dared to oppress the orphans in name, but in fact she did not dare to go to the priest to ask for the text.
"Twelve hundred francs, is the price still negotiable?"
Perez frowned when he saw the sale price, 1,200 francs is not 12, nor is it a small number, of course, Zhang Yang can get this money now, but Perez knows that Zhang Yang's main investment direction is in the wine industry, so he naturally needs to help him save as much money as possible.
His current face identity is to publicize the housekeeper hired by the Chinese businessman surnamed Fan and also work part-time as the big shopkeeper, out of the atmosphere of Rockefeller since childhood, when it comes to business occasions, the businessman elements in Perez's bones naturally begin to be active, and bargaining is almost the instinct of every businessman.
"This is only the initial purchase price, and it is a condition set by the priest to prevent someone from making a hostile takeover, and it can actually be talked about a little more. The main purpose of the priest is to hope that the purchaser can protect the rights and interests of the orphans as much as possible, for example, the price of 1,200 francs, which includes a year's living expenses, if this fee is not included, it will definitely be cheaper, but I don't know if the priest is willing to let go. β
Hearing that Perez was indeed planning to take over here, the man was also relieved, he was approached by the housekeeper of a certain aristocratic son's brother's family early in the morning, asking him by name to collect information about a welfare home, and repeatedly told him not to inquire about the identity of the purchaser, which led to the current situation.
Fortunately, Perez knew very well that Zhang Yang's acquisition of this place was not for any purpose such as building a house or a factory, and it can be said that he did not expect this place to be profitable at all, so the loss of interests is almost negligible, and on the contrary, if Zhang Yang plans to run this welfare home, he will have to invest money in it every year.
After listening to his words, Perez also had a plan in his heart and said.
"Help me contact the priest, I'm going to talk to him face to face." (To be continued......)
