Chapter 496: The Courtyard of the Imperial Capital
Harvesting points is something Cheng Yu expected.
But what Cheng Yu didn't expect was that this signing actually brought him 700 points.
What Cheng Yu saw was a hundred points and one hundred points, but because the points were given continuously, Cheng Yu naturally paid attention.
After clicking on the points details, what I saw was seven consecutive 100-point credits, which made Cheng Yu, who was sitting in the taxi, feel very inexplicable.
Why are there so many?
Cheng Yu began to review.
It's all 100 points, which is not surprising, after all, this time Cheng Yu has involved more than 300 million soft sister coins for this contract.
Even if you just consider the increase caused by the slamming of the door, Cheng Yu's increased wealth is as much as seven million US dollars.
Originally, the shares in the hands of Morris and others could only be sold for $40 million, but Cheng Yusheng raised the price by 10 million.
But of the 10 million miles, 1 million is the remuneration to be paid to the law firm, and the other 2 million belongs to Anthony, and Cheng Yu does not intend to deduct this amount from Anthony.
Therefore, Cheng Yu's actual profit from this trip to the United States was 7 million US dollars.
Of course, this money is still lying in the company's account in New York, and Shen Zhiqiu needs to help with the operation, and when it is transferred back to China, Cheng Yu can withdraw it.
These seven million are actually from Morris and four others.
It was Cheng Yu who initially considered that his door-picking behavior involved such a huge amount of money that it was almost inevitable that full bonus points would be awarded.
On a better note, there will be four points of 100 points coming in, because there are four people on the Morris side.
In the worst case, the system may treat the slamming behavior as a single slamming, regardless of the number of people targeted.
In this matter, Cheng Yu has considered that he can break with the system, after all, the shares belong to Morris and other four people, and they did not set up any company for this purpose, so although the final shares are a *** out, they are actually regarded as four different transactions.
Then of course, it should be four times.
But Cheng Yu couldn't have imagined that the system not only didn't give him a chance to wrestle, but on the contrary, gave three more judgments on the door-slamming behavior, which caused Cheng Yu to get 700 points.
After thinking about it carefully, Cheng Yu estimated that the 10 million yuan was obtained by himself from Oracle in exchange for raising the price, so Oracle would have at least one judgment on the door-slamming behavior.
But that's only a hundred points.
Where did the other 200 points come from?
Obviously, the law firm's side is not established, after all, Cheng Yu did not have any income on the law firm's side except for expenses, and he did not even experience any bargaining part. All the lawyer's fees are determined by Cheng Yu by himself now that he is in a non-picky time period.
And Cheng Yu's trip to the United States this time, the only person he came into contact with was Anthony.
Even if Cheng Yu finally got Anthony's funds in his hands and obtained the right to use them for a year, and did not give any profit promises like he did with Morris and others, but only said that he would help Anthony to get the bottom line, the money would not be reduced in any form.
Then, such an act can only get 100 points for one slam at best.
Where do the remaining 100 points come from?
It can't be Shen Zhiqiu's side, right?
Let's not mention that Cheng Yu didn't meet him, just two phone calls, the key is that Cheng Yu and Shen Zhiqiu didn't have any substantive financial exchanges this time.
Shen Zhiqiu was only responsible for handling the remaining $49 million in funds, and he wanted to transfer it to the domestic account as soon as the bank entered the account.
Cheng Yu thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of what this last point was about.
If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, Cheng Yu called Anthony.
"Anthony, I have signed the contract with Oracle, and the transfer price of the shares is ten million dollars higher than what you originally negotiated. In proportion to your shares, you also get an extra $2 million in cash. Now, we can confirm that the amount of investment you have entrusted to our company is 10 million US dollars. ”
Anthony smiled and thanked him, "Thank you." I already know about this, and I was about to call you to thank you, but the lawyer just finished contacting me. Only, I heard you paid a million dollars to the law firm for that?"
Cheng Yu said with a smile: "To do things, in order to be short, to achieve it as soon as possible, and to reduce unnecessary trouble, this cost always has to be paid."
Otherwise, how could I possibly have that law firm take such a tough stance against a mega-corporation like Oracle?
There is an old Chinese saying that under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man, and only when the remuneration is high enough, the lawyers will have enough drive and courage to help me fight the oracle.
It's all just a strategy, and I don't have time to dwell on Oracle. ”
"Since that's the case, then the cost of this million will be evenly distributed to me, you helped me get an extra 2 million funds, I am equivalent to getting something for nothing, but I did not bear the cost you paid, which is not appropriate. ”
Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "What's the matter, you don't like money, and you want to share 200,000 yuan with me?"
"No matter how you interpret it, I just think that whether it's 1.8 million or 2 million, it's a windfall. In addition to being classmates and friends, we are also partners. Some accounts are better to be clear. ”
Cheng Yu smiled inwardly, Anthony was indeed the person who most abided by the spirit of the contract among the five people, so Cheng Yu didn't have too much entanglement, and said directly: "Okay, the final amount of your investment in our company will be 9.8 million US dollars." At this point, after the funds are remitted to our account in China, I will issue a confirmation letter to you, and you will make the final confirmation. ”
"Okay. Once again, I would like to express my sincerest thanks, my dear friend. ”
"You're welcome. Cheng Yu hung up the phone.
At the same time as hanging up the phone, Cheng Yu's brain clanged again, and a golden +100 slowly rose.
200,000 US dollars, converted into soft sister coins, which is more than 1 million, even if it is not Cheng Yu's initiative to achieve the door, it will still bring Cheng Yu points to collect.
It's just that it's normal to get a perfect score on Anthony twice in a row?
When Cheng Yu got out of the car at the airport, he obviously heard the taxi driver muttering: "Why do people nowadays love to brag so much? If you have tens of millions of dollars, can you buy a car first?"
Cheng Yu's footsteps staggered, and he almost didn't fall.
The ticket is from Los Angeles to China's imperial capital, so this is not a flight of the airline that Cheng Group acquired, and Cheng Yu is really a little regretful for this.
If it weren't for the time problem, Cheng Yu really wanted to fly to the magic capital first, and then take the high-speed rail to the imperial capital, so that on the plane, because of the flight crew of his own flight, Cheng Yu might be able to earn some more points generated by "additional inputs that cannot measure the specific value".
But now it is a week before the Chinese New Year, and Cheng Yu still has a bunch of things to deal with after returning to China.
While waiting for the plane in the lounge, Cheng Yu made a call to China.
The first call was to the pipeline, and Cheng Yu needed to tell him that Shen Zhiqiu would transfer a $49 million sum from the company's New York account to the company's domestic account on Monday morning.
Because of this money, 7.2 million yuan is Cheng Yu's personal income, which has nothing to do with the company, and it needs to be transferred out of the account with the help of the pipeline.
But there is a tax problem, so the money needs to be accounted for separately, which needs to be handled by the pipeline.
When the pipeline received the call, he was in a daze, and Cheng Yu remembered that it was still more than six o'clock in the morning on Monday in China, which was indeed a little early.
But since the phone call was connected, Cheng Yu still talked about the accounts.
When the pipeline heard the specific amount, he was stunned, and the whole person suddenly sobered up.
He said, "Didn't you say 40 million dollars? Why 9 million more? And what do you mean by your personal income is 7.2 million?"
Cheng Yu explained simply, and Guan Lu sighed without tears: "You rich people's money is really easy to earn, just like that, your personal wealth has increased by more than seven million dollars?"
"This is the dividend of the information age, I have obtained enough good information, what's wrong with making some money? Haven't you always not understood my investment in variety shows? Now that I have a surplus of money in my hand, the production cost of this show is my personal investment, not the company's accounts. ”
Guan Lu just wanted to agree, but quickly changed his words: "Don't, it should be the company's investment and go to the company's accounts, although it may be a pit, I can't watch my brother jump into the fire pit like this!"
Cheng Yu knew that Guanlu must have felt that his investment had not gone wrong, so even if he was not optimistic about this kind of project, he still felt that it would definitely generate profits here, but he still had to pretend to be a righteous and awe-inspiring brotherly virtue, and he didn't bother to bother with him, so he smiled and gave up.
originally wanted to call Xue Qing too, but because of the experience of the pipeline, Cheng Yu would not harass the female employees of his company at six o'clock in the morning.
Fortunately, most international flights now have the Internet, and Cheng Yu is not in a hurry, qualitatively waiting for the plane, and then sleeping on the plane for a while.
When he was woken up by the flight attendant for dinner, Cheng Yu looked out of the porthole, it was already dark, he asked the flight attendant for a glass of water to rinse his mouth, and then sent Xue Qing a WeChat call request.
Xue Qing quickly answered and said, "Cheng Shao." ”
Cheng Yu said: "Xue Qing, when do you plan to return to the imperial capital for the New Year?"
Xue Qing was slightly stunned, although Cheng Yu mentioned that she wanted to visit her grandfather's house before the Chinese New Year, but today is only Monday, and there is still more than a week before the Spring Festival.
Although she told the pipeline that she wanted to use up a few days of annual leave before the Spring Festival holiday and go back earlier, it couldn't be now.
So she said: "I told Mr. Guan that I would take a few days of annual leave, but now there is more than a week before the Chinese New Year, and I originally planned to leave when the market was closed on the weekend." ”
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "I'm already on the plane back to China now, and I'm buying a ticket to the imperial capital." In this way, you can go back and pack up now, and buy a high-speed rail ticket directly to return to the imperial capital. During the Spring Festival, it won't be counted as your leave, it's a business trip, and there will be nothing to do before the year anyway. Of course, the business trip allowance will not be issued, and the round-trip ticket will not be reimbursed, okay. ”
Xue Qing was stunned again, and soon laughed happily.
But then he said with some trepidation: "Isn't this good?"
"There's nothing bad about it, I want to visit your grandfather's house this time, because since I know the situation in your family, I always have to visit. Another point is that because the company has a business, it may need to use your identity and get your help. All the systems of the company should make way for the investment project, although you are only in charge of the front office, but since you can help the project, it is normal for you to travel. This is called a company balance, and it is not a violation of the company's rules and regulations. I still have a lot of things to do before the Chinese New Year, and if I go back to Wudong, I'm afraid that I won't have time to go to the imperial capital, so you should hurry up and say hello to Mr. Guan now, go home and pack up your things and go to the imperial capital. I still have about ten hours to land at the Imperial Capital Airport, but it's late, so I won't visit your grandfather. Does your grandfather usually wake up early in the morning? If it's convenient, I'd like to go there tomorrow morning at about nine or ten o'clock. ”
Xue Qing listened and agreed: "Okay, I'll go back and pack my things." My grandfather gets up at six o'clock every day, and you can come at any time tomorrow. I will send you my grandfather's address in the imperial capital in a moment. ”
"Okay, then let's say so. ”
After hanging up the call, Cheng Yu began to enjoy his dinner, and after eating, he curled up in the chair to rest, and he didn't fall asleep much in a daze, and finally arrived at the imperial capital after ten hours.
After getting off the plane, Cheng Yu contacted the vehicle that had been booked to pick up the airport, and the driver said that he was already in the parking lot, and Cheng Yu walked towards the parking lot.
The hotel was booked near the Old Summer Palace in the north of Peking University, because Xue Qing's grandfather still lives not too far from Peking University.
After Cheng Yu rested overnight in the hotel, he got up at seven o'clock in the morning and had breakfast, and then walked to Xue Qing's grandfather's house according to the navigation.
It's not too hard to find.
The neighborhood is also home to various parks and universities, and the alleys like this one are full of old meanings, but they stand out from the crowd.
Walking in from the alley, the road was full of life, and Cheng Yu soon stood outside the two old red lacquer gates.
took out his mobile phone, and Cheng Yu called Xue Qing.
"Cheng Shao, have you arrived?"
"I should be right outside your door right now. ”
"Wait a minute, I'll open the door for you. ”
Not long after, Cheng Yu heard the sound of running footsteps from inside the door, Xue Qing opened the two red lacquered doors with a little difficulty, saw Cheng Yu, and invited him in.
After entering the door, there is a narrow alley, and on the right side is also a small room, which rests in front of it, which should be the gatehouse.
But now, even if Xue Qing's grandfather has a very high status, he is not worthy of a janitor.
Looking through the window, you can see that this is used as a utility room.
Xue Qing led Cheng Yu to the left, that is, a dozen steps, and then reached the end, turning right into it, which was a small patio, about a dozen square meters.
The floor is paved with blue bricks, and there are several steps and a large gate in front of it.
As I walked up the stairs and through the second door, a shadow wall stood in front of me.
Cheng Yu stopped and looked at the mottled handwriting on the wall of the shadow wall, most of which were already unclear, so Cheng Yu didn't stay long.
Bypassing the shadow wall, a compound suddenly opened up.
There are houses on the left and right, and directly in front of it is the north room where the owner lives.
The courtyard alone is more than 300 square meters, with a pergola on the right with some withered vines crawling on it, two stone tables on the left, and a well.
Cheng Yu roughly estimated that the entire yard, including the front yard inside the gate, plus the scale of the entire backyard, can occupy about two acres of land.
The courtyard of more than 1,000 square meters, even if it is located outside the fifth ring of the imperial capital, the total value is estimated to be one or two hundred million.
"This yard is really nice. ”
"My grandfather bought it more than 20 years ago, and it was cheap at that time, less than a million. At that time, it was because my grandfather had a lot of collections, and the dormitory of Peking University couldn't fit it at all, so I went to the fifth ring road and bought such a courtyard. Unexpectedly, over the years, the increase in the value of the collection has not been as high as the growth rate of this courtyard. ”
Cheng Yu nodded slightly, indeed, domestic housing prices actually began to rise wildly twenty years ago.
Especially in cities like the Imperial Capital and Magic Capital, the current housing prices are dozens of times higher than those of 20 years ago.
For example, this kind of rare courtyard house, a hundredfold increase is like playing.
led Cheng Yu into the living room and sat down, Xue Qing said: "My grandfather got up in the morning and went out for a walk and hasn't come back yet, Cheng Shao, you sit down for a while, and I'll pour you a cup of tea." ”
"Don't bother, just grab a bottle of mineral water. ”
Xue Qing nodded and went out.
Cheng Yu sat in the living room and looked around.
The hall is not too big, forty or fifty square meters.
Of course, this is compared to the face of the whole yard.
In a very old-fashioned living room, the position where Cheng Yu is sitting is the center of the hall, with three wooden sofas, some soft cushions on the top, and a coffee table in the middle, so there is no other place to sit in the room.
There was a landscape painting more than one meter high hanging on the north wall, Cheng Yu looked at it twice, and the payment was a little sloppy, and he didn't understand it very well, so he didn't study it deeply.
Underneath the picture is a table with a wooden structure that looks like the sofa he was sitting on.
Cheng Yu touched the armrest of the sofa, it had already been pulped, and from the lines, it looked like Hainan Huanghuali that people who played collecting.
In his eyes, he can probably see the variety of Huanghuali from the pattern, but whether it is Haihuang, or Yuehuang, or other varieties of Huanghuali, it is not very clear.
On the left is a mirror, on the right is a vase, in the center is an old-fashioned table clock, and in the middle there are some incense sticks and other ornaments.
Cheng Yu seemed to remember a book he had read before, which introduced the meaning of placing mirrors, table clocks and vases on the north wall of the hall.
Moreover, this should be a unique way of placement in Huizhou.
On both sides of the hall, there is a row of museum shelves, on which are placed all kinds of bottles and cans, Cheng Yu can feel the ancient charm in it, but he doesn't know more about these things.
Xue Qing came back, holding a cup of tea in one hand and a bottle of mineral water in the other.
"I don't know if you like tea or are polite, so I'll prepare it all. ”
Put the tea and mineral water in front of Cheng Yu, and then Xue Qing opened a five-color tea box on the table, which contained some refreshments such as nuts.
"Cheng Shao, have you had breakfast?"
"Ate at the hotel. I received your message yesterday and booked a hotel not far from here, and came over after breakfast in the morning. ”
"You can really find it, I went to Wudong with my parents before, and I came back after a few years. When I came back, I couldn't find the place at all. ”
"That's because you were too young when you left, and your ability to discern direction was naturally poor. And I don't have that much ability, but now I have navigation. ”
Xue Qing stuck out her tongue and smiled slightly.
"Why don't I call my grandfather, that old man, when he meets an old neighbor, he often forgets the time when he talks. Sometimes I would go to other people's houses to have lunch. ”
Cheng Yu imagined the residents he saw just now in the alley, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I don't have anything else to do today anyway, let's wait for your grandfather to talk enough and come back by myself." ”
