"Master, can you go faster? I'm in a hurry."
"Young man, it's not that I'm not fast, but I can't be fast at all. Don't worry, you'll definitely reach Dongyuan Building before four o'clock.”
The traffic on the wide asphalt road of Linjiang Road was surging, and the speed was as slow as a snail.
"Master, I remember that the bridge across the river nearby has been repaired. Why are there so many cars here?" In the taxi, Zhang Haoran looked at the crowded road outside the car and asked in confusion.
The taxi driver sighed and said,"I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. They want to tear down the bridge that has just been repaired, saying that it's for the sake of aesthetics. Recently, the road to Shunjiang Street had been very congested. However, it would be fine after the roundabout tunnel was opened.”
"Hmm?" Zhang Haoran was stunned and did not say anything else.
The driver, on the other hand, started to chatter."The Long Group is really rich. They said they wanted to build a natural garden city. They tore down the bridge across the river and repaired the undersea tunnel without hesitation.”
Long Group?
Zhang Haoran suddenly felt something was wrong.
Before four o'clock, the taxi stopped below Dongyuan Building.
As soon as he entered the building, Zhang Haoran shivered and muttered why the air conditioner was turned on so low.
"Sir, are you looking for President Xu?" The pretty girl at the front desk stared at Zhang Haoran with her big bright eyes, her face full of suspicion.
Zhang Haoran rubbed his nose awkwardly and said,""Just call me. I have an appointment. My name is Zhang Haoran.”
"Alright then."
Seemingly sensing that Zhang Haoran wasn't a bad person, the front desk lady made a phone call to ask for instructions. Out of courtesy, Zhang Haoran looked away and sized up the hall's furnishings.
The wide glass wall allowed the people in the hall to see the scenery outside at a glance. There were resting areas on both sides of the door in front of the glass wall, with a few tall pine bonsai trees placed in them.
The floor of the hall was so shiny that it could reflect people. The patterns carved on the floor were faintly discernible. From the entrance to the front desk, the designer had designed a glass road. Below the road were all kinds of flowers that were about to bloom.
The ceiling of the hall was probably a replica of the European sky-like ceiling. The huge golden chandelier slowly rotated, and the colorful lights shone in turn, making the hall colorful and not dazzling.
It could be seen that the owner of the building had put a lot of effort into the renovation of the hall, but Zhang Haoran frowned.
"Sir, President Xu is waiting for you in the top-floor office.”The receptionist's voice sounded in his ear.
Zhang Haoran nodded and walked towards the elevator. He asked casually,""Beauty, how long have you been working here?”
The receptionist looked at Zhang Haoran suspiciously and said perfunctorily,"Sir, this building has just been renovated for less than a month. What do you think?”
"Thank you."
Zhang Haoran smiled at the receptionist and entered the elevator.
"You still want to get my phone number?”Watching Zhang Haoran leave, the receptionist who was originally smiling muttered disdainfully.
In the elevator, Zhang Haoran frowned again.
20th floor?
There were 18 buttons on the elevator control panel, but the 13th and 2nd floors were missing.
"Mr. Zhang, right?"
As soon as the elevator door opened, a gentle voice reached Zhang Haoran's ears.
"President Xu asked me to bring you to see him. This way, please.”
Zhang Haoran followed the secretary in a small suit around the corridor and finally saw President Xu Dongyu.
"President Xu, you still have to meet with President Long of the Long Group in half an hour.”The secretary who brought Zhang Haoran whispered in Xu Dongyu's ear and turned around to stand at the side.
Xu Dongyu's face darkened slightly. He turned to Zhang Haoran and smiled,""This must be Lin Meng's friend. I think Lin Meng has already told you about the situation of the house on Dongjiang Road.”
Xu Dongyu was about fifty years old. His face was a little dull and his eyes were listless. It seemed that he had been too tired recently.
"Sorry to disturb you, President Xu." Zhang Haoran smiled and shook hands with Xu Dongyu. He said directly,""CEO Xu, time is precious, so I won't waste any more time. I'm going to buy the house on Dongjiang Road. I wonder what price you're interested in.”
"Oh?"
Xu Dongyu looked at Zhang Haoran seriously and frowned.""You're Nephew Lin's friend, so I'll call you Haoran.”
"Uncle, do whatever you want." Zhang Haoran said with a smile.
" Haoran, although the property prices on Dongjiang Road are not high, the area of the houses is relatively large. You…" Xu Dongyu did not finish his sentence. He was probably worried about Zhang Haoran's wealth.
Zhang Haoran was about to speak when Xu Dongyu continued,""Haoran, I think Lin Ran has told you that Uncle really encountered a problem and urgently needs funds.”
Although the money from selling the house was a drop in the bucket for the crisis he was in, he could raise as much money as he could now.
Zhang Haoran frowned. He had a good impression of Xu Dongyu. With a thought, his true essence surged into his eyes and looked at Xu Dongyu.
"Strange."
Zhang Haoran muttered in his heart. Xu Dongyu had the appearance of a rich and noble, but there was a gray fog in front of him that was constantly absorbing his fortune. If the situation did not change, Xu Dongyu's good days would not last long.
Seeing that Zhang Haoran did not speak for a long time, Xu Dongyu hesitated for a moment and said,""Haoran, how about this? Uncle won't sell the house for the time being. I'll give you ten days.”
Xu Dongyu had his own considerations.
Back then, he bought this house to help the original owner of the house. Later, when the news of the house being haunted spread, no one bought it at all.
Some time ago, Zhang Haoran moved in and the rumors of the haunted house gradually disappeared. Only then did someone ask if the house was for sale.
In other words, without Zhang Haoran, his house might be able to be sold, but it wouldn't fetch much money. From this point of view, he was burning bridges after crossing the river.
"Three million. Haoran, you only need to fork out three million in ten days, and the house will be sold to you.”Xu Dongyu gritted his teeth.
Everyone in Eastern Sea City said that he was a fair businessman. Even if he had no choice, he wouldn't do such a thing.
Zhang Haoran was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Dongyu to give such a high price.
The housing prices on Dongjiang Road were now about 20,000 to 23,000 yuan per square meter. The entire 48th courtyard was more than 200 square meters. More importantly, it was a single-family house. It was very popular now, and there were many people buying it.
Xu Dongyu offered three million, and it was at a difficult juncture. It was clear what kind of person he was.
"Haoran, this is Uncle's bottom line. If you lower it any further, Uncle will apologize.”Xu Dongyu spoke again.
In the past, he wouldn't even care about tens of millions, let alone millions. Now that he had fallen, he had no choice but to do this.
The secretary standing beside Xu Dongyu looked at Zhang Haoran in disgust. This price was already low enough. Was he going to give it away for free? He didn't even look at the timing.
"Uncle, you misunderstood." Zhang Haoran smiled and handed over the five million yuan check from the Chu family to Xu Dongyu.""Since Uncle is loyal, Haoran naturally can't let Uncle suffer. What do you think of five million?”
Xu Dongyu was stunned. He took the check and saw that it was indeed five million. However, Zhang Haoran's attire did not look like someone who could take out five million.
"Uncle, Haoran only has five million on him. I hope it can help you.”Zhang Haoran said with a smile.
The secretary who had been looking down on Zhang Haoran was stunned. As Xu Dongyu's secretary, she had seen rich people before, but she had never seen an ordinary person like Zhang Haoran give out five million yuan so casually.
Xu Dongyu frowned, put away the check and said solemnly,""Then this Xu will accept little brother's good intentions. As long as this Xu can get through the current difficulties, if little brother needs any help in the future, this Xu will not object.”
"Uncle is too polite." Zhang Haoran smiled and walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass window in the room. He could see the scenery in the distance clearly.
"Little brother, do you also like the feeling of being high and mighty?”Xu Dongyu walked to Zhang Haoran's side and asked with a smile.
Zhang Haoran shook his head, but his eyes flashed.
"Uncle, I just heard from your secretary that you want to meet with CEO Long of the Long Group. May I know why?”
The smile on Xu Dongyu's face disappeared and he said,""I won't hide it from you. The Long Corporation is here for this Dongyuan Building.”
Perhaps it was because of the five million yuan, but Xu Dongyu had no qualms about telling Zhang Haoran many things that involved business secrets. He even pretended not to see the secretary beside him winking.
Xu Dongyu had a piece of land in the southern suburbs of Eastern Sea City. When the Eastern Sea City government announced that they were going to develop the southern suburbs, Xu Dongyu invested more than 20 billion yuan in the southern suburbs.
A few days ago, the government announced that they were going to give up on developing the Southern Suburbs. Xu Dongyu's company's stock price plummeted, and the banks began to ask for loans. The capital gap was as high as billions.
As the saying goes, there are many who add flowers to the flowers, but few who send charcoal in the snow. Xu Dongyu was usually straightforward and no one took advantage of the situation, but no one took the risk to invest billions in him.
In order to repay the loan and resolve the company's crisis, Xu Dongyu was prepared to sell the Dongyuan Building, which had just been used for less than a month, to ease the financial pressure.
"We've already discussed it many times. The Long Corporation is holding on to three billion. I've invested more than three billion in this Dongyuan Building alone.”Xu Dongyu sighed.
The Long Corporation was clearly taking advantage of the situation. Xu Dongyu's heart had already wavered, but he was unwilling to accept it, so he held on.
Zhang Haoran's heart skipped a beat. He deliberated and said,""Uncle, if you trust me, give me three days.”
"Little brother, you want to buy this building?”Xu Dongyu was shocked.
Seeing Zhang Haoran nod his head, Xu Dongyu gasped. He was just annoyed and found Zhang Haoran pleasing to the eye, which was why he was so long-winded. He did not expect to have such an unexpected gain.
"Haoran, this is a deal worth billions. Are you sure?”Xu Dongyu asked again.
"It's only been three days." Zhang Haoran smiled and said," Uncle and the Long Corporation have been talking for almost half a month. He doesn't care about these three days. We'll see the results in three days."”
"Fine, I'll give you three days. I'm giving myself a chance.”Xu Dongyu thought for a moment and said.
Zhang Haoran smiled and gave Xu Dongyu a thumbs up." Uncle will not regret this decision in the future."”
The secretary, who had been looking at the two of them, was a little dumbfounded. This was a deal worth billions. How could he make a decision so easily?
