Chapter 562 Since we're already here, let's buy a building while we're at it!
Jiang Yi was at a loss for words, but he wasn't annoyed that his friend had exposed his shortcomings in public.
He just grabbed a Zippo lighter from the side, pretending to throw it at Wu Shaojie, and said with a laugh:
"Go to hell, Wu Shaojie! Don't tarnish my glorious image in front of Brother Ye! How could I be as despicable as you make me out to be?"
He glanced down at his shoes, trying to salvage the situation:
"I occasionally splurge a little, like to upgrade... these are secondhand sneakers from this century, okay! And I call it on-site research, market investigation! You don't know anything!"
Ye Fan caught the flying lighter in mid-air with lightning speed and fluid movements.
Listening to the two of them exchanging insults, looking at Jiang Yi's attire which was completely inconsistent with his "prince" status, and combining it with his bizarre hobby of "scouting out luxury homes," one can feel the tension between them.
His lips twitched slightly, and for a moment he was speechless.
have to.
Sure enough, the hobbies and interests of the wealthy are all incredibly strange and unusual.
It is full of "philosophy" that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Fortunately, the people he knows in his inner circle, such as Qin Kun and Fang Yu, are relatively "normal" in terms of lifestyle and hobbies.
At least on the surface, they are enthusiastic about more mainstream luxury consumption.
Moreover, Ye Fan knew perfectly well that Wu Shaojie had specially invited Jiang Yi, the "crown prince of the First Construction Company," today, clearly not to have him perform stand-up comedy or showcase performance art.
Instead, they were drawn to the power of his family and his extensive network of professional information in the real estate industry, which he likely possessed far beyond that of ordinary people.
This is to provide the most hardcore and insider advice and support for my "super-rich property purchase plan" later.
After a period of lighthearted laughter and banter, the group sat down again, and the atmosphere became even more harmonious than before.
Since everyone here is straightforward and doesn't like pretense, after a few cups of fragrant tea, the atmosphere in the private room became very warm and relaxed, with less of the initial formality and more of a casual, friendly atmosphere.
Everyone sipped their tea (and someone's uniquely flavored Americano) while gazing into the distance from the railing.
Admiring the magnificent, ever-flowing river view outside the window.
The autumn sun shines on the river.
Countless fragments of gold.
Wu Shaojie took a sip of his coffee, which had already cooled slightly.
She took a soft tissue and wiped her mouth, then smiled and steered the conversation back on track:
"Alright, enough joking around, let's get down to business."
He looked at Ye Fan, his expression becoming more serious:
"Old Ye, when it comes to buying houses, Jiang Yi isn't just a hardcore enthusiast; he's a true top professional in the industry, combining theory with practice. His father delegated authority early on, so he's involved in many projects and is very savvy."
"What kind of property are you looking for today? Give me a heads-up, is it a large, single-level apartment with a river view, or like you mentioned on the phone, a detached villa?"
Jiang Yi also abandoned his previous nonchalant attitude, stubbed out his cigarette in the elegant ashtray, and smiled slightly at Ye Fan.
His smile remained approachable, but his eyes held a newfound focus and composure befitting a professional, and his tone, though humble, carried an absolute confidence rooted in profound knowledge.
"Old Wu is exaggerating. He just does this at home and has only learned a little bit from what he's seen and heard around."
He changed the subject:
"However, in Jinling City, any top-tier residential complex that can be named, whether it is a completed or under construction, or a hidden internal property that is still in the blueprint stage and has not yet been opened for sale."
"I know everything about some of the 'special assets' that have never been publicly traded for various reasons."
"Brother Ye, please tell me what your specific needs, preferences, or budget range are. I will help you screen and consult with experts to ensure you don't make any mistakes. I will consider both cost-effectiveness and scarcity."
In fact, Ye Fan already had a few general target locations and preferences in mind for a top-tier detached villa for his own residence.
The reason he came here today was, besides taking the opportunity to make friends with Jiang Yi, who seemed like a very interesting new friend.
The main goal was to leverage the Jiang family's extensive connections and resources in the real estate industry to find "top-tier, non-publicly available properties" that were impossible to find or buy on the general market.
The truly good things are often traded within a very small circle before they even enter the market.
However, looking at the "real estate prince" in front of him, who was dressed simply and chatted amiably, he actually controlled half of the construction industry in Nanjing.
A larger, more arrogant, and more ambitious plan flashed through Ye Fan's mind like lightning, quickly taking shape and becoming clear.
Today, his appetite goes far beyond just a villa.
He was looking for, or rather, had a strong desire to own another real corporate headquarters office building that was entirely his own and could support his future cultural and entertainment business empire!
Currently, his most famous and prestigious business is undoubtedly the "Red Bean Group".
However, the office space inside the Hongdou Building under his name has long been filled to capacity by the Hongdou Group itself and its numerous, ever-expanding subsidiaries and affiliated companies, leaving no spare space.
And the company he personally nurtured, poured his heart and soul into, and which has recently stirred up a storm in the entertainment and investment worlds—Minglu Culture.
Even today, they are still reluctantly renting several floors of office space in the Zifeng Tower.
Although the location is good, it is a leased property, which limits the scope of operations. Moreover, with the explosive growth of the company's size, it has long been struggling to make ends meet.
This is clearly not commensurate with Minglu Culture's current terrifying expansion speed and industry influence.
It's even less worthy of Boss Ye's ever-expanding net worth and ambition!
On the same day, Dapeng rose from the wind and lifted up to 90,000 miles.
If we're going to play, let's go big and play it all the way.
The Hodo Group has its own "Hodo Building" as its logo and cornerstone.
Then Minglu Culture, which he also places high hopes on and has unlimited potential, must also have its own headquarters building that can serve as a calling card for Jinling New City and showcase its grandeur and strength!
This is not only a practical need, but also a strategic layout and brand declaration.
There's no better time than today; it's all about seizing the opportunity.
Today, the "key figure" who understands real estate best, is most capable of acquiring land, and is most likely to facilitate such a large-scale transaction in the entire city of Nanjing is sitting right across from him, chatting and laughing...
Then let's just go with him this afternoon and see the villa and the headquarters building of Minglu Culture all at once, and maybe even book them all!
We need efficiency, but also boldness!
Having figured this out, Ye Fan felt a surge of pride.
