The leisurely life of the rich start

"Mr. Zhang, you are too serious!" Zhang Zhi got up again, bowed to Zhang Da again and again, "These are all my responsibilities, but unfortunately they didn't come in handy."

"How can you say it's useless? If it weren't for your introduction, the discussion would not have gone so smoothly." Zhang Da said, "Everyone, next, we will find a few places with convenient public transportation and nearby business districts as shopping malls." alternative."

"Mr. Zhang, I know a place that meets your requirements!" Zhang Xiang, who had the same opinion as Zhang Da from the beginning, said, "This place is Hunan Road!"

Zhang Da pondered and said, "Hunan Road? I remember that the road has been built for several years, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, the construction of the subway over there has not yet been completed." Zhang Xiang said immediately, "However, it is precisely because of the construction of the subway that the originally prosperous Hunan Road business district has gradually become lonely. If the acquisition is made now, the price will not be high."

"However, the business district around Hunan Road is still there. For one thing, the Xuanwuhu Subway Station is very close there, and nearby shopping malls such as Jinmaohui and Suning Universal Shopping Center are still open."

"On Central Road, there are five-star hotels such as the Westin Jinling Hotel and Shangri-La Hotel. It is very suitable to open a high-end shopping mall nearby."

After listening to Zhang Xiang's words, many people in the conference room nodded their heads.

Tang Haitao asked the key question: "For the vice president, do you know when the subway will be completed?"

"It is expected to be completed in 2024." Zhang Xiang said, "It will take at least one and a half to two years to build a large shopping mall. After Mingda Plaza is completed, it may be completed just in time for the subway. At that time, Public transportation is even more convenient!"

"However, there seems to be no open space on Hunan Road for us to acquire?" Tang Haitao continued to ask, "After all, it was one of Jinling's former commercial centers, and it has already undergone a round of major development."

"Yes, so I set my target on a poorly managed shopping mall." Zhang Xiang said, "I asked a friend to inquire about the news, and the owner of the mall does have the idea of ​​selling the mall."

"Moreover, many merchants in that shopping mall have already withdrawn their leases, and it is very convenient to clear them. The most important thing is that the location of that shopping mall is not bad, just beside the big crossroad."

"The reason for the poor management, apart from the factors of road construction, is also related to the incompetence of the management team hired by the boss."

"I have also prepared the specific information, and I will send it to everyone's mailbox immediately."

...

"Yes, this shopping mall on Hunan Road can be one of the alternative addresses!" After reading the email from Zhang Xiang, Zhang Da nodded and said, "It's just that we'd better buy this office building adjacent to the shopping mall. According to my plan, high-end restaurants and hotels will be built next to the shopping mall.”

From the very beginning, Zhang Da did not intend to build an ordinary shopping mall.

After experiencing a series of successes, he began to firmly believe in the concept of "either do it or do it well".

What's more, as long as the mall is built in two and a half years, he can get 2% of Amazon Group's stock.

In other words, even if the mall really loses money in the future, Zhang Da's income from the mall will be far greater than his expenditure.

You know, the current market value of Amazon is 1.56 trillion US dollars!

"No problem, Mr. Zhang, I will go to conduct tentative negotiations with the other party." Zhang Xiang said immediately, "I heard that the office building next to the mall is owned by the same owner as the mall."

"Since he intends to sell the shopping mall, he probably won't mind buying an office building by the way."

"If that's the case, we'll save trouble!" Zhang Da said with a smile, "Do you have any other addresses to recommend?"

"Mr. Zhang, I have a place to recommend!" Chief Financial Officer Zhang Xueping said, "The address is next to Xiaolongwan Subway Station in Jiangning District."

"Next to the subway station, there is a large restaurant with an area of ​​land that has the idea of ​​selling it. I think we can try to acquire it."

"Xiaolongwan subway station is close to the Baijiahu business district, and the main road is right outside the subway station, so the location is very conspicuous."

"Okay, let's study it too!" Zhang Da said with a smile, "Director Xueping is really hardworking."

There are quite a few directors surnamed Zhang in the group. In order to distinguish them when they are present at the same time, the group has gradually formed different names for them.

For example, Zhang Zhi is called "Director Zhang" by everyone.

Zhang Xueping, who has a gentle personality and is careful in doing things, has been nicknamed "Supervisor Xueping" or "President Xueping".

"Where, Mr. Zhang, I also want to make more contributions to the group, so I rashly offered advice." Zhang Xueping said with a smile, "If my ideas are not mature enough, please be merciful."

After reading the information provided by Zhang Xueping, Zhang Xiang took the initiative to say: "Xiaolongwan is a good place, and I think it can be one of the alternative locations."

Tang Haitao said: "Well, I can't see anything wrong for the time being."

"Then take these two places as alternatives." Zhang Da said, "For the vice president, you are better at communication and have a lot of contacts in the country, so I will leave this matter to you! You go to contact the shopping mall and Owners of the restaurant, let's see whose offer is more suitable."

Zhang Xiang nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. Zhang! I will finish this work as soon as possible."

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Da nodded, and then looked at Lu Lu, director of personnel, "Director Lu, I think all parts of the group will have to expand their recruitment after the next year."

"I agree, Mr. Zhang." Lu Lu said immediately, "The group is developing at a rapid pace, and it really needs more talents."

Zhang Da nodded for the last time: "Okay, everyone, let's adjourn the meeting!"

...

Two days later, Zhang Da met the beaming Deputy Director Zhang.

"Comrade Zhang Da, the appraisal result of the sheep's head is out! It's genuine!"

Zhang Da smiled and said, "That's great! You can take it back to Yanjing directly."

"Hey, don't worry about this matter, anyway, Yangshou has already returned home." Deputy Director Zhang said, "I have some good news to tell you!"

3 Chapter Fifty

"Okay, I didn't expect good things to be in pairs today."

Zhang Da asked with a smile, "Deputy Director Zhang, what's the good news?"

"It's like this. In order to commend you for your great contribution to the return of the animal heads, the Yuanmingyuan Administration Bureau intends to present you with a set of bronze statues of the twelve animal heads in the Yuanmingyuan made in a one-to-one ratio."

Deputy Director Zhang joked, "Although it's not genuine, I can assure you that the quality must be better than the real one."

"Haha, thank you." Zhang Da said, "By the way, the only animal heads left outside are chicken heads and dog heads, right?"

"Yes, the whereabouts of only these two beast heads are still unknown." Deputy Director Zhang said with emotion, "Looking back, it was really like a dream. In the past few decades, we have only recovered seven of them." Beast head."

"Moreover, in the 19 years before the 13th year, we couldn't even find a single beast capital."

"If you hadn't donated the three animal heads to the country, I am afraid that the number of animal heads we have now can only stay at seven."

"It's all just a coincidence." A generation of hangers said without changing their expression, "Unfortunately, the whereabouts of the other two beast heads are still unknown."

"Yes." Deputy Director Zhang said with emotion, "However, after so many years, we dare not expect to find all the animal heads again."

"You brought back the three beast heads for the country, which has already exceeded everyone's expectations. On behalf of all the colleagues in the Yuanmingyuan Administration, I would like to express my gratitude to you!"

[Recommendation, Mimi reading and chasing books is really easy to use, download it here and you can try it. 】

"I also thank you for coming from Yanjing to appraise this animal head." Zhang Da shook hands with Deputy Director Zhang, "You will go back after playing in Jinling for a few days?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but next time, we plan to fly back to Yanjing tomorrow." Deputy Director Zhang said with a smile, "Colleagues from the Yuanmingyuan Administration Bureau are all waiting for us to bring the sheep's head back."

"Okay, then I'll see you off."

...

The next morning, when Zhang Da was saying goodbye to the expert team headed by Deputy Director Zhang, the imperial green jade he sent to Otis also arrived at the headquarters of the Black Rock Group.

This piece of jade was carved into the shape of a swan.

"Sir, along with this swan, there is also a letter." In the office, Secretary Amy said to Otis, "The letter says that in Eastern culture, jade symbolizes virtue, and swan symbolizes peace and harmony." Kind."

"Mr. Zhang hopes that such a gift can become a bond of friendly cooperation between the two groups."

"I see, I will personally thank Mr. Zhang in a while." Otis looked at the night sky outside the window, "Amy, help me put this piece of jade, together with this letter, into my display The top shelf of the window."

Amy nodded without changing her expression: "Okay, sir!"

In her heart, she was secretly surprised.

Otis' display window is in his office.

Currently placed on the top floor is a gold trophy and a small piece of dried tree branch.

The trophy was presented to Otis by Black Rock Group founder Larry Fink for his performance last year.

As for the branch, it came from Buffett, the stock god.

Now, Otis puts Zhang Da's gift on an "equal" position with the two leading figures in the investment world.

Does it also mean that, in Otis' heart——

Are Mr. Zhang and Mingda Group as important as Mr. Fink and Mr. Buffett?

When Amy was full of thoughts, Otis had already called Zhang Da.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I have received your gift and I like it very much!"

"That's good, Mr. Otis." In the airport parking lot, Zhang Da said while sitting in the back seat, "I have one more request."

Otis immediately said, "Please tell me."

"I hope you can help pay attention to the news about the dog heads and chicken heads in Yuanmingyuan." Zhang Da said, "I am willing to buy this animal head at a reasonable price."

"No problem, I'll keep an eye on it for you." Otis said immediately, "But... the ugly thing is, I don't know who owns the two beast heads."

"Even, the two beast heads may no longer exist."

"Thank you, Mr. Otis." Zhang Da replied, "Please rest assured, I will not force this."

"No matter what, I will do my best," Otis said. "I also look forward to our cooperation in the financial field in the future."

Zhang Da smiled and said, "I think... there will be a chance."

What he said was not aimless.

In fact, Zhang Xiang and others have already formulated a second-stage investment plan for the shares of Netflix Group.

If the Black Rock Group is willing to contribute to the flames, it may help the Mingda Group to obtain higher profits.

At present, in the minds of most Citigroup investors, Black Rock Group, which sold a large amount of Netflix shares to Mingda Group at a "low price" last month, should have severed all ties with the former.

Of course, if you want Otis to come to "help the scene", you must let the other party see enough benefits.

After all, the Black Rock Group is not the warm-hearted 358 Group.

"Hey, you smile so sinisterly." When Zhang Da was thinking to himself, Cheng Mingming whispered in his ear, "Pay attention to your image."

"Secretary Cheng, you're using the wrong word." Zhang Da waved his hand and said, "How can you use the word 'insidious' for a decent person like me? Master Zhou, what do you think?"

Holding the steering wheel, Zhou Geng said without hesitation: "Boss, I don't understand these things. I'm just a driver."

As a steady driver, he doesn't intend to meddle in the housework of his boss and his future wife.

Zhang Da, who did not receive support, shook his head regretfully.

Life is not easy, Xiao Zhang sighed.

After returning to the company, Zhang Da received a call from Fan Jiang.

"Brother dei, I'm back to Jinling! Are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner."

Zhang Da asked: "If you are free, when will you come back?"

"I'm in the hotel, just checked in." Fan Jiang said with a smile, "I didn't have anything to do a year ago, so I just came back to play for a few days."

Zhang Da asked again: "Okay, see you later, where should we meet?"

"Kidd Plaza, I'm staying at the Ritz-Carlton this time." Fan Jiang said, "Eat Diyuexuan for dinner."

The hotel that Fan Jiang mentioned was invested and built by Kidd Plaza.

Inside the hotel, there is also a direct access to the mall.

This is also the direction that Zhang Da wants to emulate when he builds a new mall in the future.

"Okay, we have nothing to do in the afternoon, so we can come over early." Zhang Da looked at his watch, "How about seeing you at 3 pm?"

"No problem!" Fan Jiang immediately agreed, "Then I'll wait for you at the hotel, call me when you arrive soon, and we'll meet on the first floor of the shopping mall."

Chapter 351 A Unique Shopping Experience

In the afternoon, Zhang Da took Cheng Mingming and met Fan Jiang at the corner of the shopping mall.

"Hahahaha!"

As soon as the three of them met, Fan Jiang laughed triumphantly, "It's not easy for you to go to the street."

Both Zhang Da and Cheng Mingming wore "anti-identification" suits with oversized masks and peaked caps.

Near the three of them, Zhao Xuyang and other three bodyguards completed the defense calmly.

"I'm okay, the main reason is that he is too well-known." Cheng Mingming pointed to Zhang Da and said, "Every time I go shopping with him, I have to be fully armed."
