Chapter 974 Going too smoothly!

   "Brother, we'll go with you too." The little fourth raised his hand when he heard that the eldest brother was going to the palace.

  They accompanied Vera these days, climbing the Great Wall, visiting the Forbidden City, and even paddling in Beihai. They were worried that there was no new place to go.

   Liu Qingshan looked at his mother, who was washing clothes for a few children in the washing machine, so he said with a smile: "Then let's pack up and go together as a big family."

   It just so happened that today was Sunday, and Wu Tong had a rare day off, and the kids didn't go to kindergarten or nursery.

  Lin Zhi raised her soapy palms: "You young people, go and play, just take these troublemakers with you."

   "Mom, let's go together, you are busy for us every day." As soon as Wu Tong said, Lin Zhi immediately nodded with a smile.

  Liu Qingshan was a bit apprehensive: "The son's speech is not as good as the daughter-in-law's speech."

  Xiao Niu and Xiao Yueyue were all happy when they heard that they were going out to play, and Xiao Yueyue hugged Liu Qingshan's thigh: "Uncle, Yueyue listens to you the most."

   "You little sycophant." Liu Qingshan lightly poked the little girl's forehead.

  Everyone laughed together, then tidied up, squeezed into two cars, and drove towards Prince Gong's Mansion.

  Prince Gong’s Mansion is within the North Second Ring Road, not far from Liulichang, basically separated by the Forbidden City.

  The palace covers a large area, about 60,000 square meters, and is the largest palace in the capital.

  The car drove along Liuyin Street, where Liu Qingshan was no stranger, and Mr. Wu and the others mostly lived on this street.

  When he saw the courtyards in the palace, Liu Qingshan was a little dazed: Is this completely different from what he saw later?

   There was actually a sign hanging in front of him, with the words Huaxia Conservatory of Music written on it.

   "Brother, did we go the wrong way?" The fourth child also noticed that something was wrong, there was a middle school attached to the Conservatory of Music, and there were a group of boys playing basketball on the playground.

   There are also some old people with small baskets on their shoulders, strolling in slowly, apparently coming back from a stroll in the morning to buy vegetables.

  It proves that there are residents living here, tsk tsk, awesome, living in the palace.

   This is nothing, Liu Qingshan also saw workers wearing denim uniforms, carrying aluminum lunch boxes, strolling in slowly, obviously, there is still a factory inside.

   There is even a team of armed police, shouting neat passwords, running, look at the sign, it is a unit under the Ministry of Public Security.

  Old Mao'er knew some anecdotes to some extent, and explained to everyone: "At that time, Guizi Liu, because he was close to raising people, so foreign missionaries and the like often came to visit Prince Gong's Mansion."

  “After liberation, the government suspected that enemy agents were lurking here, so it sent troops to the place until now.”

  Looking at the messy palace in front of him, Liu Qingshan also felt a bit of a headache: If it were to be rebuilt, the work of relocation and clearance would probably not be easy.

  You asked people to move, which was arranged by the government a few years ago, so you can't just drive them away.

Whether it is a factory, a school, or an ordinary resident, they have to be properly resettled, at least find a new place, build a factory if it should be built, and build a school if it should be built. This will cost a lot, maybe more than rebuilding the palace. .

  The place where the second master and the others agreed to meet was the back garden, so they drove around.

   This side has been opened as a tourist attraction, there is a ticket office at the entrance, and there are quite a lot of tourists.

  The ticket price is really not cheap, five yuan a ticket, second only to the Forbidden City at the time.

  Liu Qingshan remembers that when he came in 2008, the ticket had already become 40 yuan.

   "Wow, the fourth and fifth, haha, what a coincidence!" A cheer came.

   "Sister Xiu!" The fourth and fifth children also cheered and went forward.

  I saw Chu Yunxiu wearing a little yellow hat, running towards this side. Behind her, there was a group of tourists also wearing little yellow hats, looking around.

  Chu Yunxiu hugged and danced with the fourth and fifth child, then greeted Lin Zhi and the others, and finally held Wu Tong's hand with a smile: "It's all pregnant."

   "Xiu girl, business is booming." Liu Qingshan waved to her.

  Chu Yunxiu blinked big eyes: "Your business is not as good as Sanfeng, but your business is big. You specialize in aircraft carriers, haha."

  Why does it seem like everyone on Earth knows about this?

   "You also come to Prince Gong's Mansion to play, so I'll bring you tickets. If we buy a group, it will be half cheaper." Chu Yunxiu asked the tour guide to help Liu Qingshan and the others buy tickets.

  Liu Qingshan waved his hand: "For a visit to the park, why do you buy a ticket?"

   "See if you can do it." Chu Yunxiu curled her lips, and then saw a group of people coming out of the office, including the second master and the others.

  Chu Yunxiu seems to have figured it out: "Sanfeng, you don't mean to buy Prince Gong's mansion, do you?"

   "I really want to buy it, but the country doesn't sell it." Liu Qingshan stopped talking to this girl, but greeted Mr. Liang and the others, and said with a smile: "Just in time for the rest day, bring the family to go shopping together."

   "Then you should buy a ticket, and follow the rules."

  The second master made a joke, and then introduced a middle-aged man in his fifties to Liu Qingshan: "This is Director Wu Jie Wu of the office."

  Shaking hands and greeting each other, Wu Jie was very enthusiastic: "Comrade Qingshan, Erye and I are old neighbors, and I have heard him talk about you a lot. If you can have a temper with Erye, that must be true!"

The second master was still waving the cattail fan in his hand: "Xiao Wu, we spend hundreds of dollars in consulting fees every month, and we also provide food and drink for offerings. It's like raising a grandpa. If you don't do anything, you won't feel at ease. Tolerate."

   After chatting and laughing, they let Liu Qingshan into the management office. As for the family members, they went in with Chu Yunxiu's tour group for a walk.

   After brewing tea, Wu Jie started to chat: "We have been working on this palace garden for more than ten years, and it has just taken shape."

   "Just in time for last year's Asian Games, it was opened to the outside world smoothly."

   "However, the higher-ups really can't afford the funds for the buildings in front. I heard that Mr. Liu has restored many old buildings in the film and television city. Let's see if we can cooperate in development in this area."

  Liu Qingshan didn't go around in circles, and nodded with a smile: "Director Wu, there is no problem on our side in principle."

  Wu Jie couldn't help being stunned for a moment: It seems that things went too smoothly!

   Repairing the palace will not be enough for a few hundred million.

   And after this money is put into it, there is no way to get back the money in ten or eight years. Just by selling tickets, the money can be sold back in the Year of the Monkey.

   With this money, is it good to do other business?

  So Wu Jie originally thought that it would definitely take a lot of talking, and the other party might put forward many harsh conditions.

  He had already made mental preparations in this regard, but it turned out that it was no problem for him to say lightly.

  Wu Jie felt that it might be that Liu Qingshan was relatively young and didn't know what was going on here. He felt that he should be open and honest to avoid unpleasant things from happening later.

   After deliberating, Wu Jie took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Liu, let me introduce the overall situation first, and then we can discuss cooperation."

   "The buildings in the palace basically need to be repaired or reconstructed, and the estimated investment is between 200 million and 300 million."

   "This is only the cost of repairs. In addition, there are still some factories, schools, and residents here that need to be resettled. The cost in this area is estimated to need about 600 million."

   "So, the total investment may reach one billion, and the process of paying back the capital must be very long. Mr. Liu has to think carefully."

  Liu Qingshan listened carefully. He felt that Wu Jie was a really good person. He didn't have the strength to fool him into investing, but he made the situation clear and he was an upright person.

  Wait until Wu Jie finished analyzing all the factors, Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded: "Director Wu, no problem."

  Wu Jie finally showed a smile on his face. He stood up and shook hands with Liu Qingshan: "President Liu is really a straightforward person. With this kind of mind and demeanor, I have full confidence in the future of Prince Gong's Mansion!"

   "Director Wu, happy cooperation."

  Liu Qingshan is very optimistic about the future of this place. If nothing else, just build two rows of facades at the entrance of the palace, specializing in the sale of tourist souvenirs, and the income of that year will be very considerable.

   For the rest of the details, Liu Qingshan is going to ask Miss Xiaoli to bring someone to discuss.

  This is a big investment, and Liu Qingshan prefers to split the accounts between the two sides. It would be better if Xiaoli could talk a little more.

   Liu Qingshan prefers this kind of long-term investment, which is equivalent to a long-term meal ticket that can last for several lifetimes.

   While the two parties were talking happily, the phone in the office suddenly rang. After Wu Jie picked it up, he started communicating with the other party.

   Judging from his respectful demeanor, it was obvious that it was his leader who called.

  Wait after putting down the phone, Wu Jie's expression was a little unsightly. After thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth to Liu Qingshan:

   "Mr. Liu, just now the leaders of the Ministry have instructed that some Hong Kong businessmen have also taken a fancy to Prince Gong's Mansion and want to cooperate in the development. Look at this."

  The second master was a little unhappy when he heard it: "You still get together to join in the fun, why did this Hong Kong businessman go?"

  Liu Qingshan didn't care much, he waved his hand lightly: "This market is only alive when there is competition. It is also a good thing that Hong Kong businessmen value the domestic market."

  Wu Jie looked up to Liu Qingshan even more: Look at his vision and mind, he deserves to do great things.

   After drinking a cup of tea, Wu Jie saw a few cars coming outside the gate, so he took someone out to greet him again.

  Through the window glass, Liu Qingshan glanced outside, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: Interesting.

   Young Master Li was surrounded by everyone, like stars holding the moon, and walked into the office.

  Although the weather is hot, he still wears a neat suit and tie, and is meticulous.

  He had a smile on his face, a slightly reserved smile, and in terms of temperament, he seemed to be calmer than before.

   "Mr. Li, please, our office is relatively simple, please bear with me."

  Wu Jie let the guests into the house. Of course he also knew the Li family on Hong Kong Island, which was a real estate tycoon.

When First Young Master Li kicked in and out of the door, he caught a glimpse of Liu Qingshan sitting in the room drinking tea. His feet immediately settled in place, and the expression on his face began to change constantly, from surprise to Anger, then cover up.

  Liu Qingshan stood up with a smile on his face: "So it's Brother Li, haha, I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother Li's demeanor is even better than before."

   "Brother Li is Gao Ming. This is a self-reported family. If you have one foot, then of course the surname is Li."

   In the northeast, there used to be a lot of beards, so there was a lot of slang.

  It's like the familiar "king of heaven and earth tiger" in Linhaixueyuan.

   Among them, there is also a special set of jargon for surnames. For example, when two parties meet, of course, they must first report their surnames, which is also called Baobaomaner.

   "Brother, what maner?" is to ask the other party's last name.

   "Lantern vine." That is the surname Zhao.

   "Tiger Head Maner." That is the surname Wang.

   Liu Qingshan said this purely to make fun of Young Master Li.

   Young Master Li quickly regained his composure, with an affectionate look on his face: "Brother Qingshan, long time no see, I miss you very much."

  Of course he misses it. He misses the piece of land that Liu Qingshan took away from the Hujiang River, and it still hurts him.

  The leaders who accompanied them saw that the two were called brothers, but they didn't know the inside story, so they thought they were really good brothers.

  Director Zhou, who led the team, hurriedly spoke politely to Liu Qingshan: "This gentleman is also from Hong Kong Island. What a coincidence, everyone sits, everyone sits."

  Wu Jie then introduced: "This is Mr. Liu from Jade Bird Company."

  Director Zhou was not embarrassed at all, and shook hands with Liu Qingshan: "It turns out to be Mr. Liu. Forgive my blindness. I have admired Mr. Liu's name for a long time. It is a pleasure to meet you."

  Liu Qingshan felt that this person was far worse than Wu Jie, and he was obviously an old fritter who had been in the officialdom, so he played on every occasion, shook hands, had a haha, and then prepared to hide quietly:

   "Leaders, you talk, I'll go to the garden."

  But someone refused to call him Ruyi, so First Young Master Li suddenly said, "It just so happens that everyone goes together."

  Since it was proposed by a Hong Kong businessman, of course it must be taken seriously, so everyone surrounded Li Dashao and others again, and walked to the back garden of the palace, while Liu Qingshan and the second master and the others slipped by.

  It's midsummer, and the garden is a bit shady, with pavilions, verdant bamboos and ancient trees, rockery ponds, and lotus flowers in the water. The scenery is quite interesting.

Uncle De, who followed Young Master Li, couldn't help sighing: "It's really rare to have such a quiet place in the middle of the busy city. If you are old, you can cultivate your mind and nature here, and take care of your life, that's called a blessing." Minute."

  Others also nodded one after another, and they all felt the same way.

  At this time, a voice suddenly came from the pond: "It's so noisy, it scares all my fish away!"

  The voice is very old, but it is full of confidence.

   Everyone looked over and saw an old man sitting on a pony by the water, holding a fishing rod in his hand, obviously fishing there.

  Director Zhou was a little dissatisfied, and took two steps forward: "Old comrade, this is a visit from Hong Kong businessmen, you should be more polite when you always speak."

   "I'm being polite to you, you bastard!" A bamboo pole was pulled out violently, and Director Zhou was caught off guard, and immediately got hit on the thigh.

   He was so angry that he jumped up and down: "You old guy, you are disrespectful, why do you hit people casually?"

   "It's easy to hit you. Foreign businessmen are amazing. I beat the little devils and the Americans!"

  The old man growled, and everyone noticed that the old man was wearing a washed-out military uniform.

   "It's reversed, call the police immediately!" This is really the first time Director Zhou has suffered such a loss, how can he bear it?

  Liu Qingshan shook his head slightly. With his keen senses, he saw two soldiers in military uniforms rushing towards here under the shade of a tree not far away.
