Resource Tycoon Reborn

That's right, Barrett regards Fang Mingyuan as a potential living advertisement, and of course, he is also an important financial backer! In Barrett's view, if his trip can convince Fang Mingyuan, not only will Etell's loan problems

A fundamental solution can be obtained, and even future project sales can be greatly promoted!

HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd., Second Gulf Bank, are the top banks in the United States. Who can't give Fang Mingyuan face? Although the global economic crisis has broken out, it seems that it has not had much impact on the Fang family.

Hong Kong's Kumho Film Group is still making rapid progress. It should make movies and make movies, and it should win box office. Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company has been affected to some extent, but when the international price of oil was at a high level, it made too many excess profits.

, and did not care about the profit decline at this time. Guo's Shipping Group Co., Ltd. began to adjust its fleet before the economic crisis began. It successively resold or dismantled the older ships in the fleet and returned the leased ships. In the end, it reduced the number by about

Nearly 20% of the shipping capacity. The freight contract from China ensures that the remaining shipping capacity of Kuok Shipping Group Co., Ltd. is fully utilized. Other shipping group companies around the world cannot get enough freight contracts.

When worried, although Guo's Shipping Group did not have the excess profits of previous years, compared with other peers, life was still quite leisurely and nourishing.

As far as Barrett knew, none of the companies owned by the Fang family seemed to have been overly affected by the economic crisis. At this time, Fang Mingyuan was actually able to spend billions of dollars in Dubai to invest in Burj Khalifa World.

The company has abruptly put an enterprise that was about to go bankrupt and liquidated back on track. Although it is not yet possible to say that Burj Khalifa World Company can sit back and relax, at least in the short term, there is no need to worry about the danger of bankruptcy.

.

So after learning that Fang Mingyuan had come to New York, Barrett also spent a lot of effort to get the opportunity to interview Fang Mingyuan, hoping to gain opportunities for etell company to buck the trend of development.

The car drove into the courtyard, and Barrett and his assistant got out of the car. The housekeeper and Angelina were already at the door to welcome him. Barrett was no stranger to this villa, and to its owner.

, I am also envious. Being able to own such a house in the Upper East Side of Manhattan is not only the dream of ordinary people, but also the dream of many rich people. After so many years of development, the spare land in the Upper East Side can be said to be

There are only a handful of them left, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy the good houses here now.

"Mr. Barrett, please come with me! Fang just came back not long ago." Angelina led the way.

"Thank you!" Barrett nodded. He didn't dare to neglect Angelina in the slightest. Angelina's father is the director of the Acerock Group Company. This is a question for someone who had done their homework carefully before coming here.

It is not a secret to him. Barrett also envies Fang Mingyuan. Many people can do this by using young and beautiful women as assistants, but using young, beautiful and wealthy women as assistants is not a secret.

But it is not an easy task. Zheng Jiayi, Li Xintong, and Angelina, these three people's family backgrounds belong to the top group no matter which country they are in. Moreover, if Fang Mingyuan is now in his fifties or sixties,

Years old, that's fine, but he is only in his early thirties now. To have a woman from such a family background as his assistant is really dazzling and hard to look at.

Barrett couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He looked at Angelina who was walking in front, and then at his female assistant behind him. He deeply understood the saying that when comparing goods, you have to throw away, and people compare with people.

Damn it! Although the difference in appearance may not be big, the aura of a superior person that comes from the bones cannot be compared with that of my female assistant.

Under the leadership of Angelina, Barrett and his female assistant entered the living room. The butler brought drinks. Their eyes fell on the green outside the large floor-to-ceiling window in Manhattan, New York.

The existence of Central Park, which covers an area of ​​more than 5,000 acres, is truly a miracle in a place where land is at a premium.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting, Mr. Barrett." The door opened silently, and Fang Mingyuan walked in.

"Mr. Fang, you're welcome!" Barrett stood up and said with a smile, "You won't get bored looking at such beautiful scenery for a long time."

The two sat down, and Angelina took Barrett's assistant to the next room, leaving space for the two of them.

"Mr. Barrett, what do you want from me?" Fang Mingyuan started the black tea ceremony.

"Mr. Fang, I'm here this time to take up a little bit of your time and recommend a project to you." Barrett took out a folder from his briefcase, placed it in front of Fang Mingyuan and said, "This is what we

A project currently being prepared by Etell Company has an excellent location and takes into account both scarcity and uniqueness. I think successful people like Mr. Fang will definitely be interested in it."

"Oh..." Fang Mingyuan picked up the folder, opened it and glanced at it twice before his expression changed slightly, "157 West 57th Street, Manhattan?"

"Well, you can walk to the South Gate of Central Park in five minutes from there. Once you enter, you will find the Central Park Zoo. Next to it is Carnegie Hall." Barrett explained, "The height of the building is expected to reach 300 meters.

Above, after completion, you will have a panoramic view of Central Park, the beautiful scenery of downtown New York, and the Hudson River."

"Apartment building." Fang Mingyuan nodded. In fact, he had some impressions of this project. In his previous life, this building was known as the tallest residential building in Manhattan and one of the best places to live in New York City. There was a hotel downstairs.

There are apartments upstairs. There are a total of 90 floors in the apartment building. Excluding the floors occupied by the hotel, there are only more than 90 apartments for sale. What makes it famous is that its penthouse apartment is sold for as much as 100 million US dollars.

, and the deal was actually completed!

"Although it is an apartment building, our company is confident that it will become one of the most popular luxury homes in Manhattan, New York!" Barrett said solemnly, "It will also attract many celebrities from the upper class to move in."

Fang Mingyuan glanced up at him, and then returned to the document. He knew that Barrett was not bluffing. The future apartment building was indeed as he said, becoming the home of many people on the Forbes rich list.

There are many choices, and there are many buyers from Russia and China.

"Moreover, we plan to introduce Parkhyatt to the low-rise hotel. All apartment residents upstairs can enjoy Parkhyatt's high-quality super five-star service, which can meet all your reasonable needs." Barrett said softly. Parkhyatt Hotel is a

Hyatt's highest-end luxury boutique hotel.

"What's its name?" Fang Mingyuan asked casually.

"Because it is located at 157 West 57th Street in Manhattan, we plan to call it one57." Barrett said.

"Ah? Ah... Hahaha..." Fang Mingyuan burst into laughter. In his previous life, he was still wondering why this apartment building was called one57 with such a silly name. It turned out to be like this.

Barrett looked at Fang Mingyuan in confusion. He didn't understand why this name made Fang Mingyuan laugh so happily. Is there anything funny about this name?

"Nothing, nothing. If it were 157 West 57th Street in Manhattan, wouldn't it be called one58?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "You guys are so straightforward in naming it. Mr. Barrett, don't worry about it, it's a small thing. That's not the case.

Can you tell me that you came to me with the intention of asking me to buy a house?"

"Mr. Fang, even in the United States, you are an out-and-out successful person. I heard that your family also has a construction company in China, and you must have a deep understanding of the construction industry. Today's Manhattan is available

There is less and less land, and we have to knock down those old buildings and then redevelop them on the land. I can say that once the one57 apartment building is built, it will be difficult to appear in Manhattan for a long time.

It is comparable to similar projects. Its location and quality ensure that the guests who stay here will only be the elites of this world. I don’t need to say more about the significance of this. I believe you, Mr. Fang, also feel the same.

It's very clear." Barrett said seriously.

"Yes, the location and quality determine its value!" Fang Mingyuan nodded.

"Before coming here, I believed that I would be able to convince Mr. Fang that you choose our one57, but after seeing your villa, I felt a little unsure. However, I still want to tell Mr. Fang that the villa has

As beautiful as a villa is, the apartment building also has its own characteristics. Let us imagine if you live on the top floor of our one57, three hundred meters in the air, overlooking Central Park, the beautiful scenery of downtown New York, and the Hudson River

, what does that feel like?" Barrett said.

"Just like in a company, the chairman and president always like to work on the highest floor?" Fang Mingyuan laughed. He understood what Barrett meant. The feeling of standing above all living beings will make many people

They are all obsessed with it.

"Yes, it seems that everything is under control!" Barrett said with a smile, "It's hard to say for a long time, twenty years from now, but I dare say that after it is built, within ten years, there will be nothing more beautiful than it.

Tall apartment buildings have appeared. Moreover, like our one57 apartment building, you can see beautiful views of New York in all directions while soaking in the bathtub, including Central Park, LaGuardia Airport and JFK Airport, the Empire State Building, the World Trade Center site, Liberty

The Statue of Goddess and the high-rise residential buildings with a panoramic view of Times Square are definitely scarce resources.”

"Haha..." Fang Mingyuan smiled, but did not speak. He just motioned for Barrett to continue. As far as he knew, a few years later, in Manhattan, New York, in a block not far from the one57 apartment building, there would be

A super-tall apartment building will rise from the ground. He can’t remember its name, but he remembers that the height of that apartment building is 100 meters higher than the one57 apartment building! Although he did not see that building

The day after the building was completed, it is said that the building has sold quite well since the construction started. But naturally there is no need to talk to Barrett about this matter.

Barrett blinked. He didn't expect Fang Mingyuan to have such a reaction. For a moment, he didn't know what to say next.

"How long does it take for a high-rise apartment building over 300 meters to go from the bottom to the top?" Fang Mingyuan asked.

"The fastest can be about half a minute." Barrett said, "In terms of safety and convenience, you can rest assured. Moreover, the elevators used by residents are not shared with the hotel elevators. If you are interested in becoming its first

If you are a resident, I can make the decision and give you a 15% discount, what do you think?"

"I think that if I want to be its first resident, your company should give it to me for free. Should this advertising effect also be taken into account? I have never advertised for any company.

"What?" Fang Mingyuan looked at Barrett with a half-smile, "Or can Mr. Barrett guarantee that my identity will not be revealed at any time?"

Fang Mingyuan's thoughts were revealed like this. Barrett's cheeks were also slightly warm, but he was also a man who had experienced many hardships. Naturally, he would not be as panicked as a newbie. He smiled and said: "Mr. Fang, if you don't choose

It doesn't matter if I decide to give it to you as for those top-notch apartments. But I think that there are only no more than five apartments that can match your status. So it's not my decision to give them to you.

It must be approved by the board of directors." Although it is impossible to attract other customers by checking in with Fang Mingyuan, it does not mean that Fang Mingyuan will not recommend it in the future or that his friends will not buy it, and he still has requests from Fang Mingyuan.

, asking him to help with financing, so it is not impossible to give Fang Mingyuan an apartment worth less than 30 million US dollars.

Fang Mingyuan laughed dumbly and said: "Mr. Barrett is indeed very eloquent. What he said makes sense to me!"

"Mr. Fang is a world-famous person. Although the real estate industry in the United States has plummeted and fallen into a trough like the villa you have now, it is absolutely impossible to buy it without US$70 to 80 million under normal circumstances.

"I personally think that the penthouse apartment in the one57 apartment building that occupies the entire floor is the most suitable for your status." Barrett smiled, "The 15% discount means that I have transferred nearly a thousand yuan to you.

Ten thousand dollars."

"Promise not to reveal my identity at any time?" Fang Mingyuan asked.

Barrett nodded and said: "We can sign a confidentiality agreement. We will not tell the public or customers your identity at any time. However, if customers who stay here in the future recognize you, there is nothing we can do.

"(To be continued.)
