Chapter 229

"Boss, I have already investigated. The Times Building is not involved in property rights and debt disputes. The only trouble is that the three floors have signed a 30-year lease, and there are two 21-year renewals. It will take 65 years to arrive. Expect."

Three days later, Cooper called Nanyi again.

"The rent is paid every few years. Is there a rent escalation clause?"

"Pay every five years, with an annual increase of 2% in the first ten years, and an annual increase of 5% from the eleventh year onwards."

"So it takes three years to collect their rent again?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I understand. I'll give Rachel a call. I'll let her take over the acquisition."

"OK, boss."

After hanging up the phone, Nanyi called Rachel Parson.

"Hi, Rachel."

"Hi Adam, call me this early, I'm working out."

"Sorry, I forgot the time difference for a while. How about I call back in two hours?" Nan Yi said deliberately.

"Come on!" Rachel said, "Adam, get straight to business, OK?"

"Okay, then I'll just say it straight. Wonderful wants to acquire the Times Building. I plan to leave this matter to you. There are three points I want to explain in particular: 1. I only plan to spend 61 million US dollars, which includes everything for the acquisition Expenses, acquisition fees, taxes, transfer fees, etc., including your commission;

2. I can only come up with 12 million US dollars for the down payment. If possible, the smaller the number, the better. I can pay off the rest within two years. Of course, if there is no increase in expenditure, the longer the better, the best Well, 100 years..."

"Aha, unless all the lawyers in New York are dead," Rachel teased.

"Okay, if I didn't say the last paragraph, let me tell you the third point. It's best to let the current tenants get out. My bottom line is 1 million US dollars. If it exceeds, the third point can also be my No. But I believe that you will give me a perfect answer, right?"

"Adam, let me make sure, no matter how I get it done, you will pay $1 million?"

"Yes, as long as you can handle things cleanly without leaving any future troubles, then congratulations, your income will increase a lot this year."

"Very well, then I won't be angry if you interrupt my fitness."

"Wow, you let it go so easily, shouldn't you go on some beach vacation and make me pay the bills, or, find an island for a week, just you and me?"

"Adam, I appreciate your confidence, but I'm sorry, you may not meet my aesthetics."

"Ha, it looks like I want to see you as soon as possible."

"Hmm, I look forward to it."

"Goodbye and have a nice day."

"the same as you."

Nanyi wasn't worried at all that Rachel couldn't handle the Times Building. In fact, since the 1980s, serious stagflation had occurred in countries all over the world. In the real estate crisis, housing mortgage interest rates are constantly increasing, as high as 18%, and people are full of resistance to buying houses.

Of course, this is the idea of ​​individuals and part of the capital. Capital interested in investing in real estate, their eyes are more on Tokyo, and they dismiss the buildings in New York.

The overall return on investment in real estate in China is not very high, let alone office buildings.

In fact, in 1994, the Empire State Building was sold to the devil Yokoi for only 42 million U.S. dollars; in 2002, Trump acted as a broker representing Yokoi, and sold the Empire State Building to the Empire State Building United Corporation, which was only sold for 57.5 million U.S. dollars.

Regardless of the price difference of 15 million U.S. dollars and nearly eight years of rent, Yokoi Nakaki may not have made money from the sale of the Empire State Building. You must know that the annual repair cost of the Empire State Building is not low.

Coupled with the eight years of inflation, Nanyi estimated that Yokoi should have lost a lot in this transaction.

If the Times Building was not located in a special area, it could earn a lot of advertising fees every year. Nanyi would only buy an office building in New York when he was full.

To do real estate, you have to do it in East Asia. There is more money, less work, close to home, and it is in the interests of "most people".

After the phone call, Nanyi said to Liang Huiwen who was sitting next to him: "Huiwen, I've left it to you to sit idle for more than two months. Is there any progress?"

"Yes, Li Dezhong's health is no longer good. I went to the hospital to inquire about it, which happened in the past two months. Last time I asked Li Dezhong for a price, he didn't give me a good face at all. He said that it is the root of the Li family , he could not sell.

However, I have contacted the eldest wife Guo Zhaodi and the third wife Yao Yanfen in private, and they are all willing to make a move, as long as the price can be negotiated. "

"Tell me about Li Dezhong's family structure." Nan Yi thought for a while and said.

"Li Dezhong, formerly married to Guo Zhaodi, a bad wife, who fights the world with him, has to come and sit in the first store. The two of them started it together. They have a son, Li Shaozhong, who is also the eldest son;

The second wife is Li Shaocong's mother, Wen Yue'e, who came from the mainland in 1960. She is very docile and capable, and now she takes care of her when she has time to sit.

The third wife, Yao Yanfen, turned out to be a dancer at the Topless Bar in Locke Road, Nan Sheng, you know Locke Road, right? "

"I know that in the 1950s, US warships often stopped at Xiangtang for supplies, and Locke Road was where they had fun."

"Yes, Li Dezhong used to patronize her a lot, and it's easy to come and go. Yao Yanfen gave birth to Li Dezhong's son, Li Shaoli, in 1957. She married her when the child was six years old, so she is the third wife, but Li Shaoli is the old man. two."

"biological?"

"It should be, Li Shaoli and Li Dezhong look very similar."

"Oh, you go on."

"After Li Dezhong married Wen Yuee, Guo Zhaodi was dissatisfied with him. From then on, she didn't care about the business of the tea restaurant, and Li Dezhong handed over the financial power to Wen Yuee.

Wen Yue'e is very business-minded, and it can be said that it is her credit that she was able to expand and open two branches after sitting idle. Now she is also in control of the store, and Guo Zhaodi and Yao Yanfen can't intervene at all. "

"That's why the two of them agreed to sell?"

"Yes, Li Dezhong didn't leave a will at all, and he didn't say how the property should be distributed, as if it was done on purpose."

"Do you think their family is harmonious?"

"Heh, three wives, three sons from different mothers, how could they be harmonious." Liang Huiwen sneered.

"That's it. We Hua people have always paid attention to having more sons and more blessings, but if you have more sons, you may not be filial. In ancient times, there was such a smart man who found a broken box and filled it with stones.

He said to his sons: ‘Your father and I still have a box of silver. Whoever is the most filial will give the silver to him when I die. '

So, each son provided him with good food and drink, hello, I'm better, and competed with each other. In this way, this father will live comfortably for the rest of his life.

Li Dezhong's life will be much easier if he doesn't show his hole cards until the last moment.

There are not many days left, and the three wives have to pretend to be filial. What if they win the favor and leave all the property to her one son? "

"No, only Guo Zhaodi and Yao Yanfen are courteous, Wen Yue'e still spends most of her energy in the tea restaurant, and she is still teaching his son Li Shaocong to learn how to manage the tea restaurant."

"Huh? Is she so confident that the inheritance will definitely be left to her son?" Nan Yi paused and said, "Or, after so many years in charge of the tea restaurant, she has hidden a lot of money, and she doesn't panic whether she can get the inheritance or not." .”

"I think it's possible. Wen Yue'e is in charge of the account. She said that the tea restaurant has as much money as it gets, and no one else can check it if they want to."

"If this is the case, then it will be interesting. One is confident and the other two are anxious. I have met Li Shaocong, and I have a general idea of ​​who he is. Tell me about Li Shaozhong and Li Shaoli."

"Li Shaozhong worked as a middle school teacher after graduating from university. He looks a little dull. He is 33 years old this year and he is still unmarried and has no girlfriend. He is a very boring person."

"The point is, I'm not asking you to go on a blind date."

"Uh...the point is that Li Shaozhong probably has no interest in inheriting the tea restaurant. He lives outside and rarely goes home."

"Don't have too much contact with women?"

"That's not so clear, the investigation is not so detailed."

"Okay, let's talk about Li Shaoli."

Nan Yi originally wanted to investigate whether Li Shaozhong had a tendency to be gay, but it was a bit redundant when he thought about it. He just wanted to make a tea restaurant, so there was no need to use such excessive force.

"Li Shaoli should be regarded as the smartest of Li Dezhong's three sons, but he has a fatal weakness."

"What? Gambling or sex?"

"Both are involved. He is a gambler and a pervert. He has owed a lot of gambling debts over the years. Li Dezhong likes him and helped him repay them. He has a girlfriend who is the mother of Du Laozhi Nightclub. This Mommy has an old friend, a short mule, who is currently studying in Stanley."

"Sijiu boy, don't you have a younger brother?"

"They all ran away, let alone a big guy's girlfriend, they can't protect themselves."

"Then send a message to this green hat man, saying that someone is sleeping with his lover, beating his son, living in his room, and spending the property he has worked so hard to save."

"Nan Sheng, that boss who is on vacation has nothing to save." Liang Huiwen rolled his eyes and said.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, it's a fact that a good friend was slept by someone else, I hope this boss will not be too watery, he can only stare blankly, there is no brother who stands in for him.

How to sing that song, I vowed to go, enter the mountain of swords, and pass a thousand barriers with great vigor. People in the Jianghu, do you want to be loyal? How can you not help your brother in trouble? "

"Nan Sheng, the clubs are all just messing around with money, so there's no sense of loyalty."

"It's because of nothing that I want to talk about it. It's because of nothing. How can I let go of this opportunity to show my loyalty by picking up a little guy."

"Okay, then I'll find someone to send a message to that boss to see if he really has a brother to stand in for him. I'm not very optimistic." It can be seen that Liang Huiwen's whim about Nanyi was not Too cold.

"Don't be like this. It's just a matter of convenience. It can be regarded as asking for directions. It's just that the three tea restaurants shouldn't spend so much energy on us. Take them down quickly."

"Nansheng, in fact, it is not difficult for us to build our own signboard from scratch. Why are you so persistent about sitting idle?"

"Am I persistent?"

"I think so." Liang Huiwen nodded.

"Can the new store be the same as the old one? The tea restaurant is a neighbor's business. It is a lot of wealth and a kind of heritage. If we can use It is a very good deal to acquire it at a low price.”

"After changing the owner, how many old customers will continue to patronize?"

"It depends on what we do, inherit the original advantages, and then correct the original bad points, the taste and service will be improved, and the old customers will still come to patronize.

One thing that can never be changed is the decoration. We still have to maintain the original style and grade. "

"I know, neighbors' business, if the store is decorated too luxuriously, the neighbors will not dare to come in."

"In fact, the most important thing in a small restaurant is two words, taste and human touch. This is easy to say, but it is difficult to do." Nan Yi let out a foul breath and said: "Hey, why do I say this, we have to do it It's not a tea restaurant.

The earlier the flowers are full of flowers that are free to sit and manage, the earlier they will be on the market, and the earlier they will be finished after harvesting a few waves of leeks. A tea restaurant earns a lot of money, and it can make a lot of money.

I'll leave this matter to you, and I won't worry about it later, don't let me down. "

"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to buy the leisure time at a low price." Liang Huiwen said confidently.
