C4134 Buy, Buy, Buy!(part II)
"Don't think about anything else. We came to France to play, so let's play for a day first." Dongfang Qingyu knew that Zhang Lu'er had a lot of questions in her heart, but he did not plan on explaining.
Young Master Xu's father had a castle in France. After buying it, he had lived there twice, and it was cheap for him. Every year, he would stay there for half a month or so.
"Today is for fun. I know that Young Master Dong doesn't want me to follow you, so the car is in the garage. You can drive wherever you like. I've already told the butler of the castle that you can find him if you need anything. I'll go find a few friends to reminisce." Young Master Xu brought Dongfang Qingyu to the castle and left in a hurry after giving him some instructions.
"Don't rest. I'll give you a task." After Dongfang Qingyu had a look at the castle, she called Bao Yangze in front of her.
"Boss, please give me your instructions." Bao Yangze and Liu Weian had never interacted before, so his expression was a little serious.
"Look at this. This is a highland rooster. What is worth investing in? You can buy it, but you only have one day. I know that one day is a little short, but if you use a month to understand it, you don't need me. Do you understand what I mean?" Dongfang Qingyu looked at him.
"Understood!" Bao Yangze straightened his chest.
The legal consultant Wang Wei had disappeared from the castle. Dongfang Qingyu did not tell him, but Zhang Lu'er was smart enough not to ask.
"Let's go and take a look at Young Master Xu's garage." Since the irrelevant people had left, Dongfang Qingyu did not have to worry about anything. She held Zhang Lu'er's hand like a couple.
Zhang Lu'er was dressed formally today. She wore a light gray skirt, which made her look a bit more mature. However, her figure was good, and she was not inferior to European women.
The castle was large, and Young Master Xu's garage was not underground. It was on the ground, and there was a house specially built for storing cars. There were more than twenty cars, and they were well-maintained. There was no dust, and the servants were very diligent.
"That one!" Zhang Lu'er pointed at the black car in the middle, which had red stripes. At first glance, it looked like a coffin. On a closer look, it was domineering.
"I also think that this car is good!" Dongfang Qingyu also took a fancy to this car at first glance, but the color was very similar to a coffin, and the style was completely different.
Bugatti Veyron, more than three million dollars. This was the price in France. If it was exported to China, it would not be sold without 50 million dollars.
This car was the goal of many people who could not achieve it in their lifetime.
Boom!
With a step on the gas, the engine's low and deep roar made people's blood boil. The driving sense of the new energy cars in China was very good. The interior was quiet, and there was almost no sound. However, for men, driving an oil car, especially a sports car, was still a blessing.
It was like most people had computers in their homes, and their computers were several times better than those in internet cafes. However, many people still preferred to go to the internet cafe to play games. The clicking sounds of the keyboard could make people feel endless pleasure.
The Bugatti Veyron shot out like a bullet. The scenery outside the field quickly flew towards the back door. The road to the city was renovated, and it was specially used for sports cars. Dongfang Qingyu did not have to worry about the road conditions. He could step on the accelerator to his heart's content, and his speed kept increasing. In less than 30 kilometers, they had arrived.
"What are we going to do?" As the Bugatti entered the main road, Dongfang Qingyu suddenly remembered that they had no destination.
"I'm looking for a guide." Zhang Lu'er skillfully took out her cell phone and quickly found the target, the Champs Elysees.
Champs Elysees was a translation of the French name, left behind by Xu Zhi Mo when he studied in France. The French name was Avanue des Champs Elysees.
Because the word Elysees meant a paradise, some people jokingly called this street the Wall of Eden, or the Street of Eden. The French people described it as "the most beautiful street in the world."
The Avenue of Champs-Élysées was the main road in the capital of Paris. It was about 2.5 kilometers long and had two main roads. Every year, the French National Day celebrations would be held on this avenue. The eastern end of the avenue was the Harmony Square, and the western end was the Degas Square (also known as the Star Square). The eastern side was mainly natural scenery, and the western side was a business district. The best clothing stores and perfume stores were all gathered here. Even the world-famous luxury brands could be seen here.
It was worth mentioning that the western developed countries had put in a lot of effort to protect the natural scenery. Of course, this was related to their early accumulation of resources. There was a joke on the internet, and the experts said that the protective film in the instant noodles box was unhealthy. Then, the people who ate instant noodles replied: I have already eaten instant noodles, why would I care about health?
Indeed, when you were hungry, it was unwise to talk about environmental protection, green, and health with others. When the food and water supply was not solved, everything in the future was unrealistic. In the future, sacrifices had to be made. When they turned around, many people were like cannon fodder, but under the current circumstances, there were many helpless people.
Years ago, our country had already paid attention to the problem of environmental protection and invested a lot of money to reform and protect it. Some areas had already achieved outstanding success. Our country had the world’s leading area of man-made forests, and our country had the world’s leading area of fire and flood control… However, it had to be admitted that there were still many shortcomings. There were some areas that might not be able to compare to the developed countries in Europe for the time being.
Dongfang Qingyu and Zhang Lu'er took pictures at various scenic spots, leaving behind photos of their memories...
Cosmos.
In the middle of East Sea Port and Wanliang City, a huge city was slowly forming. Millions of artisans were bustling about on the construction site like ants. The lights flashed, and endless players rushed over from all over the world. Some were transporting materials, some were watching the show, and some had other motives…
City Name: Chaoge.
The Chaoge City was divided into two parts, the inner city and the outer city. The inner city was 10 kilometers long, and the outer city was 20 kilometers long. Outside the outer city, there was a 20-kilometer space reserved for future expansion. It was prepared to be on par with the Azure Dragon City.
At the same time as the city was built, a wide and straight avenue led to the sea. The Chaoge City was located at the throat of the East Sea and the Central Plains. This place was extremely important in both military and economic aspects. The purpose of the Chaoge City was to link the inner and outer regions, creating an economic center. When the capital was strong enough, it could even encroach on the political position.
The players’ eyes were all on the construction of the Chaoge City. Little did they know that there was another 100,000 players at the seaside. They were building a port, a city near the sea. Without a port, it would be impossible. The port, the Chaoge City, and the Central Plains were connected in a three-pronged formation. This was the Chaoge City’s ambition, as well as Duan Jiuyin’s ambition.
Ambition needed funds to support it. The 110 billion that Huang Jianren had prepared was quickly used up. Following that, Duan Jiuyin used the 480 million that he had pulled over with his face to burn up the remaining funds. Then, he used the 500 million that he had borrowed from the bank. During this process, there were people who invested in the project intermittently. About one billion was used up, and only 60% of the construction had been completed.
As the chief engineer, Chen Jianglong quickly went to find Huang Jianren. Huang Jianren was at a loss for words. The budgeting master should be shot to death. The difference between the budget and the actual expenditure was too great. Now, everyone needed money everywhere, and everyone wanted money from him.
Other than Chen Jianglong, there were also a few people who wanted money from him. Duan Jiuyin’s stall was too big, and he had 100 exploration teams. This was to prevent the ore from being controlled. The ore meant weapons, which was very important for defending the city. 100,000 farmers represented food, and the people’s lives depended on food. This was something that could not be neglected. The fleet had 20 ships, and since they were facing the sea, it was impossible for them to not have their own fleet. The 20 ships were only the basic requirement, and they needed to expand it to at least 50 ships. They also needed to build a high-end army to ensure their strength. Apart from that, they also needed to build a high-end scientific research team. If Chaoge City wanted to go far, they could only create it themselves, and they could not just buy everything…
The idea was good, but the money was needed to support it. With one more idea, they would have another sum of money. When the budget was calculated, they would only slightly overpay. At that time, Huang Jianren’s idea was still very optimistic. With his and Duan Jiuyin’s face, as long as the city was established, those people who were indecisive would immediately be tempted. At that time, the least they needed was money, and they were afraid that there would be too many people who would take the initiative to invest, and they would not have enough money. However, the reality was cruel.
The only way for businessmen to lack money was to borrow money. It was not impossible to borrow money, but how many businessmen would really lend billions of yuan to their friends?
Huang Jianren himself could also go to the bank to get a loan, but he was very smart. He handed this difficult problem to Duan Jiuyin. Similarly, the interest that Duan Jiuyin would get would definitely be lower.
"Hello, Mr. Duan!" When Wang Feiyan saw the caller ID, she knew what Duan Jiuyin wanted to do. Who wouldn't pay attention to such a big matter like the establishment of a city in Chaoge City?
"Good day, Secretary Wang. Is Qingyu here?" Putting aside the position, Duan Jiuyin was a very graceful man.
"The boss is on a business trip," Wang Feiyan said.
"Where did he go? When will he come back? Is it convenient to reveal?" Duan Jiuyin asked.
"Europe. The boss is going on a trip. It's hard to say where he is now. The boss said that he wants to relax. His phone is off, so I don't know his situation." Wang Feiyan said.
"Okay, when you have news of him, send me a message." Duan Jiuyin hung up the phone. Wang Feiyan immediately dialed Dongfang Qingyu's number. "Boss, Mr. Duan called just now..."
