Chapter 613 A Slightly Outrageous Request (Part 2)

"Sister Lin, have you been in contact with Marvel? What do they mean?" Guo Tailai also felt that if it was just a studio, it shouldn't be a big problem, so he turned to Lin Jiayi and asked.

Guo Tailai went to make a car for the Russian Prime Minister, which is also top secret and cannot be easily known by others. Lin Jiayi doesn't know what Guo Tailai is doing, and during this period of time, he did not take the initiative to contact Guo Tailai according to Guo Tailai's instructions. When Guo Tailai asked now, Lin Jiayi was already prepared.

"I have been in touch." Lin Jiayi quickly replied, but then shook her head slightly: "They are very interested in building Stark Tower directly, but they are not satisfied with just building it in China."

"Then what do they mean?" Guo Tailai asked puzzled, "Are we going to invest in the United States?"

"The Stark Industries Building is rebuilt on the basis of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Building in the comics." Lin Jiayi said with a smile: "Although Marvel is happy for you to reproduce it in reality, you can buy the Metropolitan Life Insurance Building ?"

How is that possible? Guo Tailai shook his head with a wry smile. Guo Tailai is a bit stretched to invest in a hotel here. Although there are more than 8 billion funds, compared with MetLife, it is not an order of magnitude at all. Guo Tailai never had such unrealistic dreams.

"They are willing to sell us the corresponding copyright." Lin Jiayi explained Marvel's decision: "However, the copyright fee is very expensive, at least I think so."

"How much do they want?" Guo Tailai asked with a frown. Lin Jiayi said it was expensive, so it must be a little expensive.

"Twenty-five million dollars." Lin Jiayi replied.

"How much?" Before Guo Tailai expressed his opinion, Xiaohui couldn't bear it anymore and asked in surprise.

"Twenty-five million dollars." Lin Jiayi repeated again: "I don't think it's worth it."

"Of course it's not worth it!" Xiao Hui quickly expressed his opinion without waiting for Guo Tai to speak. Twenty-five million U.S. dollars, more than 200 million yuan in RMB, just for the copyright of the exterior shape of a building?

Guo Tailai also frowned, the price is not sincere at all! In Guo Tailai's mind, there would be a copyright fee of US$1.8 million at most, which is already a sky-high price, but I didn't expect these guys to be able to open their mouths so loudly, they simply took Guo Tailai for a fool!

"Forget it!" Guo Tailai also shook his head: "Since they are not sincere, then forget it."

A fool would spend this money just for a mansion in a manga. There are so many real mansions in future dreams that can be used as a reference, so why tie it to the manga.

The Brother Lu that Xiaohui talked about was Brother Hai's friend in the Gusu Industrial Park and the deputy of the management committee. He was in his thirties and looked young and promising. It was the first time I met Guo Tailai, and I was very curious about Mr. Guo Tailai, whom Brother Hai and Xiaohui praised so much.

"Long-awaited, long-awaited!" On the way, Xiaohui contacted Brother Lu, but when Guo Tailai and Xiaohui came down from the brand-new big red flag prosperity, Brother Lu's eyes still stayed on the big red flag for a long time, Just remembered to say hello to Guo Tailai.

Brother Hai didn't introduce much about Guo Tailai's details, but there was definitely a lot. At least Brother Lu knew that Guo Tailai had more than 6 billion cash in addition to the 2 billion deposit. Such a big investor dare not treat him lightly.

Brother Lu is one of his own, and Guo Tailai almost said that he needed a finishing studio, but Brother Lu immediately said that there is no problem at all. As Xiaohui said, this is a legitimate investment that does not involve other things. It is just refined processing, no electroplating sewage, and no smelting pollution. There is no problem in settling in an industrial park. He directly took out a map with many green areas on it, and asked Guo Tailai to choose at will.

Guo Tai looked at the map and didn't think too much about it. He chose a plot of land about 300 meters by 200 meters at the junction of Jinji Lake Avenue and Xinghai Street not far from the small island he was looking at. That piece of land was originally for industrial use. Brother Lu looked at it and said without saying a word, "It's yours."

The reason why it is so large is that what Guo Tailai needs to build is a high-level finishing studio, and a lot of measures such as the surrounding anti-seismic ditch and anti-seismic walls need to be built to ensure that it will not be caused by vehicles on the surrounding roads. Vibration affects accuracy. In fact, the small island in the lake is a good place, but it is a pity that it is absolutely impossible to change it into an industrial land.

These things are small things, but the hotel thing is bigger. Because of everything that happened before, I had to bear the burden of a landmark. Although Singapore has admitted that its own work was wrong, it has not canceled this request, and the higher authorities have no intention of withdrawing it. Guo Tailai can only suffer from this dumb loss. I had to transfer a deposit of 2 billion to this side.

However, after such a lot of tossing, the land he was looking for was firmly given to Guo Tailai, and there would be no further changes. And Guo Tailai's intention to be a high-end membership hotel has not changed, so this result can be considered acceptable. Although the investment may be a bit larger, it can solve Guo Tailai’s problem of finding a large parking lot. After all, he needs to buy a lot of supercars. The hotel is built higher, and there are several floors dedicated to supercars. Maybe it can also be a supercar museum.

Now to discuss the matter of the hotel, it is natural that all members of the management committee are present, and then discuss this matter together.

"Mr. Guo, on behalf of the industrial park, I welcome your investment." The representative from Singapore warmly greeted Guo Tailai.

After the management committee and Guo Tailai confirmed that the high-end hotel will remain unchanged and the investment will not be lost, they are finally at ease. The next step is to enter the formal process. Guo Tailai, the owner, will start the bidding for the design proposal, and after it is confirmed, it will be the bidding for the engineering team. Basically, these have nothing to do with the official.

"Mr. Guo, I have an unfeeling request. Can you ask Mr. Guo to consider it?" The representative from Singapore found a time to be alone with Guo Tailai, and said to Guo Tailai with a smile.

"Please speak." Guo Tailai was very polite.

"Is it possible not to invite bids for design schemes? I can introduce an excellent architect in our country. I guarantee that his design can definitely meet Mr. Guo's standards." The representative of the new party said to Guo Tailai in a low voice.

"Is this against the rules?" Guo Tailai frowned. Even if there is no bidding, the owner, Guo Tailai, has to decide who will be the designer, not someone else.

"It's better for Mr. Guo to think about it." The representative of the new party smiled at Guo Tailai and said, "Otherwise, maybe there will be some regrettable mistakes? Anyway, you won't change it, will you?"
