Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Chapter 171: Magic City Earns Money and Magic City Spends Money

Good routines must be shared with everyone.

When Hu Zhenhua found out that his vest could not be put on the market, he immediately arranged for someone to secretly share the "Heng Da routine" with many merchants present at the meeting.

These companies are all powerful and well-funded.

Some of them are even listed companies.

Most of them are about to receive deposits from their company, with a total amount of up to 5000 million.

With such a large sum of money, it would be great to stay in Shanghai!

The money is earned in Shanghai and spent in Shanghai, so why should you take it home?

I, Hu Zhenhua, am such a kind-hearted person that I have considered all the investment projects for you.

Of course, Lao Hu has also considered listing in Europe or the United States, but those markets have perfect supervision and it takes too long for companies to go public.

Even under the registration system, the average cycle is more than 20 days.

If we wait until Hengda Real Estate goes public, it will probably be too late.

At the luncheon, Hu Zhenhua looked at the heads of foreign-funded commercial banks with a smile and toasted them frequently.

If you are in a good mood, you can drink more.

As for the side dishes, hehe.

There are high-quality leeks everywhere!

In the northeast corner of the banquet hall, several foreigners held wine glasses and listened quietly to a hotel waiter reading the newspaper.

This newspaper was urgently printed by Hu Zhenhua after he formulated the "Hengda Routine". He originally planned to wait until Hengda Real Estate finalized its listing in Hong Kong before selling it.

Now, it has to be enabled in advance.

The newspaper has two main points.

The first point of view is: Although the Ambassador Situ incident occurred in Nanjing, the author believes that it was just an accident and not the will of the top leaders of the Red Party.

The author asserts that no one dares to touch Western diplomats.

The second view is that the People's Liberation Army is concerned about Western interests in China and may not dare to attack Shanghai. Even if they do, they will not take immediate action but will first train their troops. Moreover, they may not dare to use heavy weapons for fear of damaging Western interests during the siege.

In short, the newspaper's summary is this: Rest assured, folks! No matter who manages Shanghai, our interests will not be harmed!

The article is signed by the King of Understanding!

The last article, "War is precisely an opportunity for the Magic City!", was also written by King Dong.

Therefore, anything produced by the King of Understanding must be of high quality.

As soon as this article came out, everyone started chatting enthusiastically again.

Descartes from the US Steel Company saw everyone chatting carelessly and asked in confusion,

"Gentlemen, aren't you worried about the risk of war?"

He just arrived in Shanghai last night and didn't know much about the situation here.

Jonard of Mifu Petroleum said with a smile,

"My friend, in this place called Magic City, white people are prioritized!"

Descartes was also a racist.

In the United States, if a person of color dares to offend him, he will definitely be sued.

Since coming to Shanghai, Descartes has been very low-key because this is a foreign country!

He was silent for a moment and asked,

"Karen sent a telegram today saying that they were surrounded in Nanjing and were in a state of panic. He was terrified that his life was in danger!"

Jonard frowned.

Karen, a reporter from the US-China News Agency, is under siege?

What's going on? This is different from what the King of Understanding said.

The general Chinese forces do not dare to offend the white people, but the red side seems to be an exception. They dare to fight against the Amethyst!

After thinking for a moment, Jonard said,

"Let's go ask Consul Carter!"

Soon, he found Carter who was chatting with Hu Zhenhua and explained the reason in a concise manner.

Carter obviously knew about this and said,

"Gentlemen, don't worry. The Red Legion is only controlling communications and has no intention of harming Karen. The embassy is negotiating."

Hu Zhenhua lowered his head and thought, trying to recall what happened. After thinking for a long time, he still had no clue.

In fact, this was another diplomatic incident: the Jinling Telegraph Bureau arbitrarily stopped foreign journalists from sending news telegrams without the central government's consent.

However, compared with the break-in at Ambassador Situ’s residence, this incident is not well-known in history.

Fortunately, the central government corrected this mistake in time.

Hu Zhenhua pondered for a moment and said,

"Mr. Carter and I had an interesting experience last night, which may be of some inspiration to you all."

Then, Lao Hu explained the misunderstanding caused by the 'Black and White Impermanence' yesterday.

Descartes' brows relaxed when he heard this, and he said,

"That makes sense. How could a soldier who came from a peasant background understand what an embassy is?"

Carter smiled and said he was not in a position to comment because Ambassador Situ was taking advantage of the issue to gain more benefits for the United States.

After hearing what Descartes said, everyone felt relieved.

Jonard suddenly thought of something and immediately said,

"Chairman Hu, Mi Fu is very optimistic about the Shanghai market. I wonder if I could have the honor of collaborating with him in this new area?"

Hu Zhenhua shook the red wine glass in his hand and said with a smile,

"I wonder which field it is?"

"estate!"

Hu Zhenhua had already guessed Jonard's intention, and estimated that he wanted to make a quick buck after hearing the "Heng Da routine".

Old Hu raised his red wine glass with a smile and said,

"Mr. Jonard, as long as the property is within our designated area, our company can rent it. I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Jonard and Lao Hu banged their hands and laughed.

"Our cooperation will definitely be a pleasant one, but I'd like to try a different model: first sign a lease agreement with your company, and then purchase the property!"

What is this pattern?

Hu Zhenhua looked around and found that everyone was confused.

You don’t own a property yet, how do you determine the rental price?

Jonard explained without waiting for anyone to ask,

"We determine the rent according to the building area in different areas."

Hu Zhenhua still didn't understand his intention and waved his hand.

"Mr. Jonard, housing prices in the Magic City fluctuate daily. If we set a fixed rent, you might end up at a disadvantage."

"Mi Fu doesn't care about the small loss in rent!"

This time, Hu Zhenhua didn't know how to refuse.

The unknown is always scary.

What exactly does Jonard want?

Lao Hu couldn't refuse directly, so he said after a moment of silence,

"Mr. Jonard, how can you guarantee that you can fulfill your contract?"

"We can stipulate a penalty in the contract. If Mi Fu fails to provide sufficient real estate after signing the contract, he will pay TA 1000 million Mi Fu yuan in compensation. How about that?"

Hu Zhenhua's brain was working rapidly.

There is a huge disadvantage in signing the contract first and then buying the house: if someone is targeting Mi Fu, they can drive up the house price and make Mi Fu unable to fulfill his contract!

Would Chouinard make such a mistake?

Obviously impossible!

Could it be that he predicted that housing prices in Shanghai would plummet?

Only this explanation makes sense.

Hu Zhenhua suddenly felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.

Promise not.

No, that’s not the case!

Jonard looked at Hu Zhenhua nervously, afraid that he would refuse.

Hu Zhenhua really wanted to refuse outright.

But TA's company has too many properties, and Lao Hu is unwilling to give up.

After thinking for a moment, Hu Zhenhua decided to take a gamble.

"Mr. Jonard, I accept your proposal."

After the bosses of both sides reached an agreement, the managers under them immediately got into work mode and started negotiations.

Within an hour, TA Company and Mi Fu signed an agreement.

Jonard's mysterious operation immediately caused heated discussion.

Hu Zhenhua left the banquet hall on the pretext of being drunk.

He must review and find the loopholes in his plan.

Jonard's plan can only cause TA's company to suffer heavy losses under one and only one situation, that is, the real estate price falls to less than one-third of the current price.

Old Hu had just sat down in his office when Qu Xiaodou walked in with a sad face and said,

"Boss, I want to follow Captain Xue Lei to develop in the south!"

Hu Zhenhua withdrew his thoughts and asked uncertainly,

"Xiaohong has a partner?"

"She's getting married in two days, and I just wasted a bag of chocolates!"

The corners of Lao Hu's mouth twitched twice, and he said, trying hard to suppress his smile,

"Don't you have a bag of candy? You can give it to the other girls!"

Qu Xiaodou's face became even uglier, and he muttered,

"I gave it to Lili, but she refused to accept it!"

"There are plenty of girls in the Cathay Hotel!"

Qu Xiaodou's face flushed red as he shouted,

"Boss, please stop asking. I'm too embarrassed to stay at Chinachem anymore!"

Qu Xiaodou actually got it this time. After being rejected by Lili, he gave the candies to Alan, Hehua and five other girls one after another.

Now, he has become famous in Chinachem!

After Hu Zhenhua fabricated this experience, he was stunned.

Among the five girls, except for two who had partners, the other three gave Qu Xiaodou a message: You are a good person, but we are not suitable!

Old Hu pinched his chin and thought for a while, then asked,

"Are all the girls from Chinachem so picky?"

Qu Xiaodou is the captain of his own guard. He has a good income, is handsome, and is strong and powerful.

With such conditions, can it be rejected?

Hu Zhenhua slammed the table and shouted,

"Some people spend so much time interacting with dignitaries that they actually think they're dignitaries themselves. How ridiculous!"

Qu Xiaodou lowered his head and said angrily,

"Boss, don't blame them, it's my fault!"

Hu Zhenhua poured him a glass of water and comforted him,

"Don't overthink it. If you're interested in a lady from the Magic City, I'll be your matchmaker!"

Only then did Qu Xiaodou raise his head.

Hu Zhenhua thought he had changed his mind, but he was stubborn and said,

"Boss, my skill lies in my gun. Please allow me to go south and make a living!"

When Hu Zhenhua heard this, he did not hide the disappointment on his face.

He used Qu Xiaodou, the captain of the guard, very skillfully.

However, Lao Hu could not stop Qu Xiaodou's path to progress.

Being a guard captain, what can you achieve? There is a vast world in the south.

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand and said with a smile,

"Xiaodou, sit down and talk!"

After he sat down, Lao Hu laughed dryly and said,

"Tell me, how did you develop when you went to the south?"

When Qu Xiaodou heard Hu Zhenhua give in, he immediately stood up and shouted,

"Boss, don't worry. I've learned a few skills from following you. If you're talking about competing against the elite businessmen of the Magic City, I might not be up to the task, but when it comes to dealing with the local natives, I can definitely handle it! This is what you often call a dimensionality reduction strike!"

Hu Zhenhua's eyes lit up.

I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, and when I turned around, he was standing in the dim light!

I have always been worried about the person in charge of Nankai Group.

But the most suitable person is not right in front of you!

Just as Qu Xiaodou said, he followed him around and learned a lot from what he saw and heard.

Hu Zhenhua slammed the table and shouted,

"There's a sense of morale!"

The economic base determines the superstructure. As long as the local economic lifeline is controlled, TA company will become the uncrowned king!

Qu Xiaodou sat on the big sofa and asked,

"Boss, I've been thinking about a problem. After we occupy Savage Mountain, how are we going to transport the processed agricultural products out?"

Hu Zhenhua gave a thumbs up and said with a smile,

"Xiaodou, the fact that you thought of this problem shows that you are truly sincere. I have a message for you: build good relations with the local government!"

Qu Xiaodou fell into a daze, but after a moment, he started to laugh.

"Boss, what you mean is that Nankai Group follows the local government's lead and invests in a big way, while Umbrella Corporation develops quietly. We're both playing the good cop and the bad cop!"

Hu Zhenhua was very pleased and said with a smile,

"Xiaodou, I have nothing to worry about. Go ahead and do it boldly. TA Company is your strong backing. Now, let me tell you about the international situation. No matter what you do, you must keep the overall situation in mind..."
