Xue Li didn't tell Fang Xiaogang about Mother Wang and Mother Xuan's extraordinary abilities, nor did she tell him about her incurable Lou Gehure disease.
However, she mentioned the caretaker who cared about her in the orphanage in her memory, the poor but hardworking gatekeeper. She talked about the Perforated Bridge over the Rhine in Basel and the famous Erasmus buried in the cathedral. He was a hundred times more famous than Da Vinci. She talked about the suitors she met in Xi'an Middle School, including the young man who was beaten into the hospital. There were also those days at Brown University, the elegant economics department building, the Kerry Bell Tower, which was used by the teachers and students to keep track of time. It had a classic design and was engraved with the famous quote of the German philosopher Meister Eckhart: Loveisasstrongasdeath。There were also the busy days after his internship in New York, when he went back and forth between the headquarters of the goldman sachs at 30 hudson street in jersey city and the office at 85 wall street.
Fang Xiaogang listened with great interest, as if he was there.
After a long Monday of traveling and being in danger at sea, the two exhausted people slept together until noon. They even missed the breakfast buffet that the hotel was proud of.
The air-conditioner was turned on and the blanket was covered to avoid the mosquito attack. The two of them, who were half on a business trip and half having an affair, woke up with their hands and feet crossed under the blanket. Yesterday, they had been reading documents on the road for the whole day. Today, they had to go on a field trip to inspect the project. The two of them quickly found their working relationship as a consultant and secretary.
The company intended to buy it, and the main body was an old hotel. It was renovated from a guest house in the 1990s. The decoration was not bad at that time, but in recent years, it had become outdated and the facilities frequently broke down. The boss, who had never had enough money, was unwilling to pay for a comprehensive renovation starting from the water and electricity. The hotel had not been bought by anyone before. However, the owner seemed to have been waiting for other buyers to make a move. Although the business was cold, he was actively looking for people to discuss the sale.
Xue Li made an appointment with the hotel's boss for a meeting. They arrived at the hotel's lobby before lunch. There was a white parrot in the living room. It looked like Polly from the English textbook in middle school.
"Polly, why are you here? Polly, do you know what to say?”Fang Xiaogang teased the parrot. Shirley asked him what he meant, and he replied that she didn't understand since she hadn't taken PEP's English class.
Mr. Lu welcomed them warmly. He shook hands with Fang Xiaogang under the iron shelf where the parrot was locked. Then, he invited them to the hotel's private room for dinner. The boss was very talkative. When he saw the beautiful Shirley beside Fang Xiaogang, he also flattered her.
There were many large seafood dishes for lunch. They were cooked in the local traditional way. The taste was good, but they were not as particular about the presentation as Western food. They even prepared Moutai. With the recent prices, drinking Moutai was considered a luxury. However, Shirley hoped that Fang Xiaogang would not drink at work and told him that drinking would affect his IQ. Fang Xiaogang was not greedy for the things in the cup, so he was happy to listen to Xue Li's suggestion. The hotel owner was also quite happy that he could save on the current market price of more than 3,000 yuan per bottle of Maotai.
Back to the main topic, the hotel's boss Lu didn't know Fang Xiaogang's methods. He only heard that this person in front of him was a key figure in whether his hotel could be bought by the consortium, so he treated him well. Even though Fang Xiaogang repeatedly explained that his opinion could not influence the decision of the company's top management, Boss Lu still tried his best to please him during dinner and asked him to meet up again in the evening.
After dinner, Fang Xiaogang and Shirley toured the entire hotel with the boss and took many photos and videos. Then, he bade farewell and left the hotel to inspect the surrounding environment. The hotel was located in the northeast corner of downtown, near Linchun River and Linchun Ridge. There were mountains and rivers, and the terrain was ever-changing. It was also very close to the city, but it was not near the sea. There were indeed no commercial complex nearby. The complex was built on the other side of the city, near the sea. The residential area, village, and school in the northeast and the municipal administration and office buildings in the northwest also lacked a place to shop.
"The place is not bad, but the terrain is not flat. What kind of commercial building should we build? It seemed that there were no design drawings in the information.”he said.
"Yes, I haven't designed it yet." Xue Li said.
"Then how are we going to give the feasibility consultant opinion? Do we have to design the building and give the budget?”
"Then why don't we clarify the purchase price and property rights of the hotel and see if there are any hidden dangers in the acquisition and renovation project?”Shirley thought to herself, it seems that this job was really just arranged for them to come out and cultivate their relationship.
"Then I'll ask that Boss Lu tonight how much the hotel costs.”he said.
However, Boss Lu of the hotel didn't intend to negotiate the price honestly at night. He was dressed casually like a playboy and went to the Wanhao Hotel to pick up Fang Xiaogang and Xue Li at the Generation Beauty KTV. He had once hinted to Fang Xiaogang whether he wanted to go out alone with him. Fang Xiaogang smiled and put his arm around Xue Li's shoulder, and the boss immediately understood.
When they entered the KTV room, the warm-up music was the literary " Chengdu."" What made me cry wasn't just the wine last night. What made me reluctant wasn't just your gentleness.”The guitar started playing, and the loud slightly filled the corner of the room with music. The fur on the carpet on the ground trembled from the sound.
Knowing that they were going to the nightclub, Cher also dressed up. When the eight escorts walked into the room, none of them looked more beautiful than Cher. Mr. Lu asked Fang Xiaogang and ordered three for himself.
After drinking for a while, he realized that the advantage of ordering three young ladies was that there were many of them drinking, and the young ladies had to help Boss Lu drink. Fang Xiao had just started playing the game and his dice throwing skills were not bad, but there were many people on the other side.
After Fang Xiao drank a few cups, Xue Li stepped forward to drink for him. She drank four cups without any difficulty. Boss Lu drank and chatted merrily. He talked about local customs, romantic affairs, and local legends. He just did not talk about the price of the hotel. When it came to business, he would either drink or sing. Fang Xiaogang couldn't do anything to him, so he could only drink and sing with him. It was not until the second half of the night that the three girls were drunk to the point that Boss Lu also left the place swaying. Thanks to Shirley's amazing alcohol tolerance, she fell unconscious on the sofa in the end.
Mr. Lu smiled and asked Fang Xiaogang if he wanted to bring one back. He pointed at the three girls beside him and looked at Xue Li who was sleeping on his shoulder, meaning that she didn't know anyway.
"Boss Lu, what's going on with the hotel?" Fang Xiaogang rejected.”
Boss Lu said," Brother, the hotel is very important to me. Let's meet again tomorrow to discuss in detail. I hope you can help me."”After saying that, he smiled and left with the three girls.
The taxi took them back to the hotel. Fang Xiaogang's leg injury had not recovered yet, and he struggled to half-support and half-carry Shirley back to the room. The hotel staff didn't know if they should come up and help him, so they finally pressed the elevator button for him.
Shirley returned to her room and regained a little consciousness. She said that she would put her in the bathtub for the night and fell asleep again. Fang Xiaogang didn't understand what she meant. He thought that she was probably talking nonsense, so he put her flat on the bed to sleep. She had drunk a lot of wine and her stomach had grown bigger. Just like the night before, she turned on the air conditioner and covered herself with the blanket. Fang Xiaogang then went to sleep with her.
In the middle of the night, Fang Xiaogang had a dream. He dreamed that he was going to the swimming pool. The water was hot, but it soon turned cold. Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong. She woke up in the middle of the night and found that the blanket was wet. She turned on the light and saw that Shirley had wet the bed and was sleeping soundly.
This was a little awkward. He could only turn up the temperature of the air conditioner, change a towel for her to cover her stomach, and then take a shower himself. When she returned from the shower, Xue Li peed again. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She couldn't help but smell it, but it wasn't very pungent. On second thought, it must have been because he drank too much alcohol and his metabolism was expelling the liquid from his body. After thinking it through, she turned up the temperature of the air conditioner and fell asleep on the floor beside the bed.
In the morning, he was woken up by Cher's two fingers pinching his chin and shaking it. This was the first time he saw Cher angry at him and asked,"I remember telling you to put me in the bathtub for the night.”
"You can even remember this? I thought you were talking nonsense." Fang Xiaogang said with a smile.
Cher probably noticed that she had wet half the bed and went to take a shower. She was naked and wrapped in a big towel as she ran over and pinched Fang Xiaogang awake.
"Look at how awkward this is. What should we do with this bed and blanket?”she said gloomily.
"We can only let the hotel think of a way.”
Shirley was fine after she woke up. She didn't have a hangover at all. He sat on the bed and called the operator to change the mattress and blanket, as well as a full set of bedding.
After the call, she turned around and said to Fang Xiaogang,"Drinking is harmful to the brain, so I went through so much trouble to protect you.”
"I thought you were afraid that I would be drunk and do something that would affect the company.”
"He just wants you to give him a base price. We don't have a base price either. You have a wicked look on your face." Xue Li said.
"Yeah, let's go and lay it out with him today. If he continues to beat around the bush, I'll directly submit my opinion to reject the investment.”
"That's right. That's more like it." Xue Li was still angry. She went to the suitcase to find some clean clothes to change into and also gave Fang Xiaogang a set of clothes.
When she squatted there and flipped through her clothes, the towel could no longer wrap around her body. When she returned and handed the clothes over, Fang Xiaogang could not help but pull her into his arms.
It was raining heavily in Hainan today, so Xue Li had arranged for a car to drive them all the way out. The car drove all the way to the entrance of the hotel, so they could not get wet. Fang Xiaogang was wearing a POLO shirt, long pants, and leather shoes. Shirley was also wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a black short skirt. They were basically dressed formally for work at Boss Lu's hotel.
"Boss Lu, if you don't give me a quote today, I won't have time to make a proposal. Then I can only suggest that the headquarters stop this development plan because the seller's attitude is not clear.”Fang Xiaogang went straight to the point.
"Brother, as for the hotel, I definitely want to sell it, but the price…I can't be lower than 600 million.”Boss Lu said.
"Boss Lu, how long do you still have to use the land?”Xue Li asked.
"This…there's still more than ten years left. The vegetation in my buildings is very valuable. The trees here are even twenty to thirty years old, and there's a lot of rosewood. As for the land, as long as the land transfer fee was added, it would not affect the situation.”Boss Lu said.
"CEO Lu, you know that we won't keep the buildings. We still have to spend money to move the trees. Your 600 million yuan is equivalent to us buying the right to use your land for more than ten years.”Fang Xiaogang said.
Boss Lu pondered for a while and said,"Brother, how about this? I'll tell you the truth." "I'm the legal person of this hotel, and there are a few other shareholders..." As he spoke, he looked at Xue Li and said to Fang Xiaogang,"I'm the legal person of this hotel."Mr. Fang is inseparable from this secretary who is a good drinker.”
"I won't hide anything from her. Boss Lu, please speak.”
"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point. We've discussed with the shareholders. The total price is no less than 360 million. As long as Mr. Fang and the secretary can offer a price higher than this, we'll split it 50 - 50.”Boss Lu took a sip of tea.
Fang Xiaogang nodded and said,"Boss Lu, are you sure that 360,000 is the real starting price?" I'm just a consultant for the company. The extra money won't reach me. If your asking price is too high and the company canceling the project, Boss Lu, don't lose big for small gains.”
CEO Lu smiled and said," If it's lower than this price, I can almost sign a contract with another company. I'm already very sincere, Mr. Fang."”
"Alright then." Fang Xiaogang stood up and said," Thank you very much. Then we'll have to do other work and submit the consultant plan to the head office."”
After they left, Fang Xiaogang asked Xue Li,""What do you think of this price? Is there still space?"
Shirley shook her head and said," I really can't estimate this. The current domestic land prices are generally irrational.”
"Then let's not bother about it. Let's just treat this 360 million as the low price. We'll do our job at this price. Next, we'll have to verify the information.”
They went out along the conch and walked through Chunguang Road to the Land and Resources Bureau on Hedong Road. They went to the Cadastral Department to check the age of the hotel land. It turned out that the piece of land had been approved for more than 29 years. Boss Lu's so-called ten years was only left with a few months of usage rights.
The two of them shook their heads and came out. They saw a Mercedes-Benz Maybach parked in the courtyard. A man in his thirties with glasses got out, and a young and beautiful girl with healthy brown skin got out of the passenger seat.
Xue Li looked at the young girl and was a little hesitant and surprised. The other party also saw Xue Li and smiled. He took the initiative to walk over and ask,"Shirley, is that you?”
“Alexia？”Shirley asked in surprise.
Alexia hugged her tightly, and both of them were as happy as children.
The bespectacled man also came over to get to know Fang Xiaogang and the others.
"Zhou Weimin. Nice to meet you." He came over to shake hands and introduce himself.
"Hello, Fang Xiaogang." The two men shook hands.
"Alexia, let's go do our business first.”Zhou Weimin said.
Alexia made a helpless expression. Shirley said,""Then you guys go ahead with your business."
"It's rare to meet you. Uh, this is Mr. Fang?”she asked.
"Hello, Fang Xiaogang." He repeated.
"Let's add each other on WeChat?" Alexia asked.
" Uh…" Fang Xiaogang looked at Zhou Weimin, who was also a little surprised.
Alexia didn't look at his expression and insisted on adding Fang Xiaogang on WeChat. Then, she said goodbye to Shirley reluctantly.
Fang Xiaogang and Xue Li boarded a chartered car.
"She was your sister during Basel's time?”Other troops.
"Yes, I am. The best."
"Why did she add me on WeChat?" he asked.
"Because it's not convenient for her to add me on WeChat.”Shirley said with a smile.
