Chapter 698 Fang Minghua Arrives at the Shengshi Group Building in Lujiazui

"How much does this house cost?"

Fang Minghua asked as he walked.

"I also told Director Zhao that the seller was in urgent need of money, so he sold it at a low price, a total of 2.8 million."

Although 2.8 million is an astronomical figure to ordinary people, it is nothing to Fang Minghua.

Moreover, the average price is less than 7,000 yuan per square meter, which is not as expensive as the foreign trade houses bought by Zhao Hongjun.

However, bargaining is still necessary.

Fang Minghua gave 2.68 million, but the agency couldn't decide the final price. He immediately said he would contact the seller when he returned to the unit.

"By the time you get to your unit, it will probably be midnight in Los Angeles, so let's fight my big brother." Zhao Hongjun handed it to the other party's big brother.

"Thank you, Director Zhao." Xiao Zhang took the phone and immediately walked to the other side and started making a phone call.

Within a few minutes, Xiao Zhang came over and said: "Mr. Fang, my client agrees, but the condition is that it must be paid in one lump sum."

"No problem." Fang Minghua said while looking at the surrounding environment without looking back.

Xiao Zhang was a little surprised, but thinking that he was a friend of Boss Zhao, he must also be the boss, so he no longer had any doubts.

"Then please, Mr. Fang, please follow me to the Urban Construction Bureau to complete the procedures." Xiao Zhang's attitude became more attentive.

Going through the formalities was also a troublesome matter, and it would definitely not be completed within a short period of time. In the end, Fang Minghua simply drove Zhao Hongjun's Mercedes-Benz and took Xiao Zhang from the agency with him, and ran for several days before completely completing the procedures.

The rent, together with various payable taxes and fees, is about 2.8 million yuan - fortunately, bank cards have become popular now, which is very convenient, and I finally got a red real estate certificate.

After coming out of the housing authority, Fang Minghua looked at the time and saw that it was after five o'clock in the afternoon. He smiled and said to Xiao Zhang: "Xiao Zhang, you have been following me for several days. It is almost time for dinner. I want to treat you to a meal."

"No, no need." Xiao Zhang said hurriedly: "You are my big customer, I should treat you."

Maybe he was familiar with it, so Xiao Zhang boldly asked: "You are from Xijing, are you the writer Minghua?"

"It's me."

"Ah. The first day I saw you, I felt a bit like you."

Xiao Zhang said with a smile, but secretly sighed in his heart.

My dear, how can a writer be so rich?

Taking out millions of RMB in one breath seems like a joke.

In the end, Fang Minghua paid for two baskets of xiaolongbao at a nearby restaurant, and then drove back to the hotel.

After taking a shower, Fang Minghua called Zhao Hongjun to tell him that the matter was done and he was ready to return to Xijing.

"Why are you so anxious? Why don't you come to our Shengshi Building tomorrow? Su Bin and the others want to meet you." Zhao Hongjun said on the phone.

"Okay, I'll just give you the car back."

The next morning, Fang Minghua got up, washed up, went downstairs to have breakfast, and then drove his Mercedes straight to Lujiazui in the parking lot.

Compared with last year when I came to Shanghai, Pudong has become more prosperous, with more high-rise buildings rising from the ground, especially around Lujiazui, which has begun to take shape. "No. 1 Yaohan" has opened for business, and it is very lively with people coming and going. .

Fang Minghua drove to Shengshi Building, parked the car in the underground parking lot, and then took the elevator straight to the top 17th floor.

After exiting the elevator, there was a bar opposite. A beautiful girl wearing an OL skirt was sitting inside. There was also the logo of Shengshi Group hanging on the wall behind. It seemed like this was the front desk.

"Sir, who are you looking for?" the girl asked politely.

"I'm looking for you, Director Zhao, and Zhao Hongjun."

"Excuse me, what's your name? Do you have an appointment?"

"My surname is Fang, I have an appointment."

The girl quickly put down a notebook and looked at it: "Sorry, Mr. Fang, Director Zhao does not have an interview with you in his schedule today."

Damn it!

Do it one by one.

Of course Fang Minghua would not argue with an ordinary company employee. He picked up the landline on the bar and was about to call Zhao Hongjun, when he saw Zhao Hongjun coming out of a room wearing a short-sleeved shirt and tie.

"Red Army!"

"Minghua, are you here?" Zhao Hongjun walked over with a smile: "Let's go to my office."

"Haha, it's not easy to see you now. We still have an appointment." Fang Minghua said.

"Hey, this is popular among the big bosses in Shanghai now. Doesn't it look like you have status?" Zhao Hongjun lowered his voice and explained, then suddenly raised his voice again, turned around and said to the beautiful girl at the bar: "Xiao Wu, he My name is Fang Minghua. I can see you anytime when you come to the company without having to notify me. I will tell you what Director Liu said."

"Okay, Director Zhao." The girl replied quickly.

"Most of these employees were recruited in Shencheng and have never met you. I'm going to hold a meeting and show everyone your photo carefully. From now on, you can go to any department without any hindrance!" Zhao Hongjun Explain as you go.

"I only come here a few times a year? Why bother?"

"That's not okay, this is the respect you deserve!"

The two of them walked into Zhao Hongjun's office. Fang Minghua took a look and saw that it was more than 60 square meters in size. In front of it was a circle of sofas, followed by a large mahogany boss's desk, and a row of bookcases behind it. It was filled with all kinds of books - probably for window dressing.

As soon as Fang Minghua sat down, a pretty girl came in to pour tea, and what she made was Gongfu tea.

The girl was making tea nearby, and the two started chatting while drinking.

"This floor is mainly the group headquarters office. The two floors below are for Shengshi Books. Shengshi Property is on the 14th floor. Our group occupies a total of these four floors, and the rest are used for leasing."

"Has it been rented out?" Fang Minghua asked with concern.

"It has been rented out for a long time, and it is very popular! The first to sixth floors are a hotel, and the rest are all various companies. Pudong is developing, and many companies have registered here."

As the two were chatting, the phone on the desk rang, and Zhao Hongjun went over to pick up the phone.

"Yes, Minghua is here, you guys come up."

After that, Zhao Hongjun sat on the sofa again and said to Fang Minghua: "Su Bin and Dai Jiali will come up soon, and they said they will report to you on their work."

"What work do you report to me?" Fang Minghua smiled and said: "It's okay to chat together."

A few minutes later, Su Bin and Dai Jiali came up, and they really brought a thick document.

Although Fang Minghua smiled and said not to do such a serious thing, Su Bin still reported to him the situation of Shengshi Books very seriously.

"The overall situation in the first half of this year was good. A total of 15 sets of books were published, including five novels, three economic and financial books, four computer books but all of them are popular science books, and three sets of animation books. This year we also introduced the Japanese comic "The Little Prince of Cherry" and it sold well." Su Bin said.

"Japanese anime is good. People born in the 1980s basically grew up watching Japanese anime. This area has high profits." Fang Minghua said.

"Yes, but the sales of pure literature books have declined sharply."

"This is the trend. Pure literature will become less and less popular, but classic novels are still good. It is better to be good at quality rather than too much." Fang Minghua added, and then asked: "Su Bin, you went to the United States to investigate the book publishing industry last year. How did you feel?"

This is a question that Fang Minghua is more concerned about.
