Chapter 448 Buying Industry
In Aurora City, it would be a great blessing if a child at home becomes a law enforcement officer. Although he cannot go home every day, it is not difficult to take the time to go back after a while... To say the least, even if he joins Dusk There is no rule in society that says you cannot continue to contact your former relatives and friends.
What kind of organization is this [Fushenghua], and its management is stricter than the Twilight Society?
Chen Ling suddenly had a hunch that the [Floating Painting] in the world of mortals might be much more complicated than the law enforcement officers of Aurora City... far more than what he saw.
Chen Ling walked to the third painting, opened it and took a look. When she found that the back was also empty, she sighed helplessly.
Sure enough... that painting is not here.
But Chen Ling is not surprised. The main city of Hongchen is so big. It would be a coincidence to find the scroll by just looking for the Beidou Consortium's treasure house.
"It seems that the special envoy is very interested in portrait paintings?" Mu Chunsheng was a little confused when he saw Chen Ling's behavior.
"Not bad." Chen Ling said calmly, "What? Does Chairman Mu have other collections?"
"That's not the case anymore. In terms of scrolls, I don't have many collections."
Mu Chunsheng thought about it, then smiled and said, "When it comes to calligraphy and painting, Huadu Consortium has the richest collection in the main city... It is said that there are more than a hundred famous paintings in the treasure house of old Zong Wen, most of them are Comes from the hands of a famous artist of "Floating Life Painting".
"oh?"
Chen Ling glanced at Mu Chunsheng in surprise. She was not sure for a moment whether he was encouraging her to deal with the Huadu Consortium or if it was really something... If Zong Wen had hundreds of famous paintings, then what they were looking for would be very difficult. It's possible it's there.
Seemingly sensing Chen Ling's thoughts, Mu Chunsheng immediately added, "This is not what I said casually. Everyone in the main city knows about Zong Wen's enthusiasm for calligraphy and painting. If the special envoy doesn't believe it, just ask anyone. .
But... that old guy has always been a picky person and is a complete miser. Asking him to give away treasures is like killing his parents. He is not willing to sell it even if it is sold... unlike our Beidou Consortium is so generous and gives away the red sandalwood peace Buddha. , that is, I want to make friends with the special envoy. "
Mu Chunsheng said with a smile and stepped on Zong Wen, "By the way, I have sent someone to send the red sandalwood Buddha of Peace that I snatched back to the auction. I agreed before that it would be given to the special envoy. I, Mu, Chun Sheng will never regret it.”
Chen Ling nodded slightly, not surprised.
After some manipulation by Chen Ling, the Red Sandalwood Buddha of Peace not only completely ignited the war between Beidou and Huadu, but also returned to his hands openly... It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
After visiting the treasure house, Chen Ling invited her to her private residence. A long table filled with luxurious dishes had been prepared. On the lawn at the door, several famous chefs were still carefully preparing dinner.
Chen Ling sat down at her seat, and after being warmly invited to taste a few dishes, she told her the main reason for her visit today:
"Chairman Mu, I have a business, I wonder if you are interested in it."
Hearing that Chen Ling wanted to "discuss business" with him again, Mu Chunsheng immediately thought of the crazy auction that night, and his face immediately turned ugly, but he still asked: "What kind of business is it...?"
"I want to buy some property from the Beidou Consortium."
"industry?"
Mu Chunsheng was stunned. He did not expect that when the special envoy opened his mouth, he actually wanted to buy something from the Beidou Consortium...
"It's not a particularly valuable property, just a few stalls and a few shops." Chen Ling said expressionlessly, "To be honest with Chairman Mu, I like the main city of Hongchen very much. When I stop being the special envoy one day, maybe I will come to the main city of Hongchen to retire...before that, I want to leave a place for myself. "
Hearing this, Mu Chunsheng was immediately overjoyed. The special envoy might come to the main city to retire. What does that mean?
It means that an unorganized, eighth-level strong man will live in the main city of Hongchen for a long time... Isn't this the best time to win over the special envoy? ? Even if one day I am gone, as long as the special envoy is still there, I can protect the Beidou Consortium from falling!
"The special envoy is having trouble!" Mu Chunsheng said immediately, "If the special envoy wants property, I will give it to you directly. You can choose whatever property the Beidou Consortium has in the main city of Hongchen!"
Chen Ling shook her head slightly, "I'm just looking for a place to retire, and I don't want to owe any favors... You should understand what I mean. I have to buy these properties myself."
Seeing this, Mu Chunsheng still refused to give up, and struggled with Chen Ling for a long time, but finally lost...
He asked someone to bring over a map of the Beidou Consortium's properties in the main city of Hongchen, pointed at all the places marked in red on it, and said cheerfully:
"Except for those pillar industries, feel free to choose other special envoys. For the sake of our friends, I will give you a 30% discount on the final price..."
Chen Ling glanced at the industrial map and once again sighed at the wealth of the Beidou Consortium. From casinos, shops to residential buildings, the Beidou Consortium's industries cover a wide range of areas. After thinking for a while, he pointed to one of the casinos. There are several adjacent jade shops saying:
"That's it."
"You want this?" Mu Chunsheng was a little confused when he saw Chen Ling's choice, "These stores don't have much profit, and the places are also very small... You don't want to be picky anymore?"
"No more picking, just calculate the price."
Chen Ling wanted these properties, so he was naturally planning to build a stronghold for the Dusk Society. In fact, his target was just the casino covering an area of more than 700 square meters. After all, this kind of place with a mixed population was the best place to gather information, but it was just to cover up people's eyes. , Chen Ling still picked a few jade shops.
After some calculations, Mu Chunsheng finally quoted 20 million, while Chen Ling directly calculated the price of the red sandalwood Peace Buddha with Mu Chunsheng, deducting 8 million, and finally spent 12 million to get a room. Ownership of three jade shops in the casino.
After all, even if Chen Ling brought something like the Red Sandalwood Peace Buddha back from the Xi Dao Ancient Collection, it would be useless. It would also take time to put it up for auction. It would be better to cash it out directly with Mu Chunsheng, which would be convenient for both parties.
As the night grew darker, Chen Ling had dinner at the Beidou Consortium's manor and was invited to stay overnight by Mu Chunsheng. He even waved over a dozen beautiful maids for Chen Ling to choose from, but she was still rejected.
In desperation, he could only watch Chen Ling sit back in the car and watch him leave the manor little by little and disappear under the night sky.
"Dad, why can't this special envoy get enough oil and salt?" Mu Chunsheng's son pushed the wheelchair and couldn't help but say, "We have offered him such a high price, but he still doesn't want to be the honorary director of our Beidou Consortium?"
