Chapter 2556
"By the way!" Zhou Andong suddenly stopped his steps, turned back around, and said: "Since we want to build a film and television city, let's restore the entire Caishikou. This way, not only can it attract tourists, but it will also be more convenient for film crews to take scenes.
Tomorrow, you give Kang Minghui a call and have him go directly to find District Mayor Yang of Xicheng to discuss it. Tell them, as long as they give us all the demolished building materials, we are willing to bear the cost of the entire demolition project.
Except for the former residences of celebrities and buildings with historical significance, where every brick and every tile needs to be numbered, ordinary buildings can just be pushed flat, and it won't cost much money. When the time comes, whatever can be used will be transported back to Jiangzhou, and whatever is useless will be handed over to the engineering department to handle."
Seeing Jian Qiu pondered and said: "If we use machines to push, the bricks and tiles will definitely be broken; when we pull them back to restore, the quantity won't be enough."
"Just buy them with money." Zhou Andong took the last puff of his cigarette and then extinguished the cigarette butt: "This demolition isn't all demolished; there will still be a part of the buildings left.
Since we plan to reproduce the style of the entire Caishikou authentically, then for these houses that haven't been demolished, we naturally have to spend extra money to buy imitation ancient bricks and tiles to build."
Seeing Jian Qiu nodded: "That's the only way."
Zhou Andong continued: "Tell Kang Minghui, for the houses, if it saves trouble to push them, that's fine, but the windows, doors, and furniture must be protected well. In addition, there are the roof beams; that stuff, even if the house collapses, it won't break easily, so they must also be pulled back to Jiangzhou one by one."
Seeing Jian Qiu sighed with a resentful look: "I am just born with a life of toil; I'm in my confinement period, and I still have to work for you."
Zhou Andong said with a smile: "There are a few more days until you are out of confinement; when the time comes, I will properly compensate you."
Seeing Jian Qiu rolled her eyes at Zhou Andong: "Alright, you only know how to talk; hurry up and go to sleep."
"I'm leaving, you rest early too." Zhou Andong laughed and left the room.
………………
It is now past nine o'clock in the evening, which is when nightlife begins. The business of the first bar is still as hot as ever, even though there are two new bars that have opened nearby, it hasn't affected the business of the first bar.
Tang Lin and Nie Wen were sitting in a booth in the corner, and sitting opposite them was a girl. She was wearing a white dress with small floral patterns, paired with a pair of exquisite and small nearsighted glasses, and the whole person looked very gentle.
This girl looked to be only twenty-three or twenty-four years old, her skin was as delicate and fair as snow, she had a round face, and a pair of big eyes that were clear, bright, and spirited. At first glance, besides her outstanding temperament, there was nothing particularly brilliant about this girl.
But if you look closely, you will be surprised to find that the more you look at this girl, the better she looks, the more flavor she has, and you will be involuntarily attracted by the unique charm on her body. If Zhou Andong saw this girl, he would definitely be very surprised, because this girl looked very much like a very famous star in later generations.
"Wenwen, are you serious?"
The girl looked at Nie Wen with suspicion, then reached out and picked up the juice that was placed on the table and still emitting wisps of cool air, bit the straw and took a small sip, before continuing to speak.
"It's not that I don't believe you, but this batch of smuggled cars has over 117,000 vehicles; with such a huge quantity of cars, even if calculated at the lowest estimated price per car, if you want to swallow them all, you need at least fifty or sixty billion. Don't say it's an individual, even if it's the entire Qiong Province, wanting to take out so much money all at once is not that easy."
Nie Wen looked at the girl with a smile: "Xiao Jie, I, a poor person, definitely can't take it out. Don't say tens of billions, even a few million I don't have. It's just that I can't take it out, and the entire Qiong Province can't take it out, but your own family can take it out."
Zhou Jie was stunned and said somewhat confusedly: "My... own family?"
"Right!" A cunning smile hooked at the corner of Nie Wen's mouth: "Your own family, Zhou Andong, you wouldn't not know him, right?"
"Zhou Andong?" Zhou Jie opened her small mouth slightly, her pair of moving eyes instantly opened to their maximum limit, and she said uncertainly: "That Zhou Andong of Yugong Group? That Zhou Andong who just acquired Sony Entertainment?"
"Exactly!" Nie Wen nodded, picked up the wine glass in front of her, and took a slight sip: "It is he who wants to eat up this batch of smuggled cars; do you think he can take out tens of billions?"
"Can, definitely can!" Zhou Jie nodded fiercely, her pair of eyes flashing with bright light: "If Zhou Andong can eat up this entire batch of cars, Qiong Province can definitely give quite a few discounts. If Zhou Andong is willing to invest in Qiong Province, then the discount intensity for this batch of cars will be even greater."
Nie Wen looked at Zhou Jie with a smile that wasn't a smile, the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "If... Zhou Andong uses US dollars to pay for the goods?"
Zhou Jie was stunned, as if she hadn't heard clearly, and asked: "Wenwen, what did you say, can you say it again?"
The smile on Nie Wen's face became even more brilliant: "I'm saying, if Zhou Andong uses US dollars to pay for the goods?"
Zhou Jie seemed to have been electrocuted, springing up from her seat, but immediately after, it was as if all the strength in her whole body had been drained away, and she fell back into the chair with a "thump."
Zhou Jie grabbed Nie Wen's hand that was on the table, her voice trembling slightly: "Wenwen, does Zhou Andong really settle in US dollars? Are you sure?"
Nie Wen felt the temperature and strength coming from her friend's palm, and the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden: "We two have played together since we were small; on such serious matters, have I ever joked with you?"
Zhou Jie slowly let go of Nie Wen's tightly held hand, exhaled a long, turbid breath, and after calming her excited mood, she said: "This matter is no longer something I can intervene in; I must make a call to my dad."
Nie Wen looked at her watch: "It's almost ten o'clock, Uncle Zhou should be resting, right? Why not call tomorrow, it's not urgent."
"No, it's very urgent!" Zhou Jie stood up again and walked toward the bar counter. A long night brings many dreams; involving a transaction of five or six billion US dollars, how could she dare to delay? Besides, at this hour, her old man definitely hadn't slept yet.
Zhou Jie walked quickly to the bar counter and greeted the little girl at the cashier: "I need to use the phone."
For the past few days, Zhou Jie had been hanging out here every day, and the little cashier girl knew this was the boss's friend, so she hurriedly pulled the phone out from inside the bar counter and placed it on the bar counter.
Zhou Jie grabbed the phone and quickly dialed a string of numbers; it only rang twice before a low, very oppressive voice came through: "I am Zhou Guodong, who is this!"
"Dad, it's me." Zhou Jie took a deep breath, stabilized her excited mood, and said: "I'm with Nie Wen; just now she told me that Zhou Andong wants to eat up that entire batch of smuggled cars."
"Zhou Andong?" Hearing that it was a call from his daughter, Zhou Guodong's tone immediately became relaxed, and his voice also became gentle: "Yugong Group Chairman Zhou Andong?"
"It's him!" Zhou Jie said: "Only he can eat up that batch of cars in one bite."
Zhou Guodong got a definite answer and asked: "Is Wenwen on very good terms with Zhou Andong?"
Zhou Jie explained: "It's Tang Lin who is on good terms with Zhou Andong; they have a business partnership."
"Xiao Jie, Dad is giving you a task." Zhou Guodong's voice was very calm, without a hint of emotional fluctuation: "Have Tang Lin and Nie Wen help you introduce him, meet with Zhou Andong, and talk about the price of this batch of smuggled cars.
However, talking about the price is not the point. The point is, you must be able to pull Zhou Andong to our Qiong Province to invest. As long as Zhou Andong agrees to invest in Qiong Province, this batch of smuggled cars can be given to him at a price that breaks his legs."
Zhou Jie heard her father's words and couldn't help but chuckle: "Dad, Wenwen said, Zhou Andong is settling in US dollars."
