A Financial Street (Please Recommend and Bookmark)
(PS: I'm a newcomer with a new book and a new work. Please show your support.)
In July, the blazing sun hung like fire in the sky.
Fan Yu woke from his sleep, only to find everything around him utterly unfamiliar.
The room was no longer his shabby rental. It was a luxurious three-bedroom apartment of over a hundred square meters, furnished with exquisite, high-end decor.
Then countless unfamiliar memories flooded his mind—happy childhood days, carefree school years, and the harsh realities of society after graduating from university. Scene after scene flickered through his mind like slides from a movie.
"Ding. The sign-in system has successfully bound to the host. Would the host like to sign in?"
The unfamiliar voice that suddenly appeared startled Fan Yu.
But after being bombarded by online novels in his previous life, he quickly realized what situation he was in.
He had transmigrated? And obtained a system?
"Sign in."
Whether it was real or a dream, he would agree first and worry about the rest later.
Ding. Host has successfully signed in. As this is the host's first sign-in, a super gift pack has been specially awarded.
Would you like to open it?
"Open it."
Opening gift pack. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the property rights to Magic City Financial Street.
"Cough, cough!!!"
Fan Yu had just gotten out of bed and poured himself a glass of water when he began coughing violently.
"Financial Street property rights?"
"The property rights to the entire Financial Street?"
Although he did not know what rank Financial Street held in Magic City, an entire financial street was undoubtedly an enormous asset.
He picked up his phone, entered the password to unlock it, and began looking up information on Financial Street.
"Financial Street is located in Magic City. It ranks fourth in the world and serves as the gathering center of all Magic City's wealth. It has produced tens of thousands of billionaires, ranking only behind Central in Hong Kong Island, Shengjing International Financial Street, and Wall Street in the United States."
"Magic City Financial Street also stood at the top of the 'hierarchy of contempt.'"
Financial Street was located in Magic City's PDX District, within the Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone.
The Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone was established in Magic City's Pudong after Pudong's development and opening in 1990. It was Hua Nation's only national-level development zone named after "finance and trade."
The trade zone was located in Magic City's Pudong, separated from the Bund in Puxi by a river. It was surrounded by the Huangpu River, Magic City's mother river, and the city's inner ring road, covering an area of two million square meters.
The Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone was one of Hua Nation Magic City's major financial districts. It stood on the banks of the Huangpu River in PDX District, facing the Bund.
The entire Financial Street had 108 completed skyscrapers and was Hua Nation's first national-level financial development zone.
Its primary business involved foreign financial institutions. All foreign financial and trade institutions had to establish their offices on Financial Street, which was also home to the headquarters of many foreign banks.
HSBC Bank, Citibank, Standard Chartered Bank, DBS Bank, Bank of East Asia, and others had already established themselves there.
It had been designed through collaboration between world-renowned planning and design experts and Magic City's planning specialists, bringing together the wisdom of master planners from Hua Nation, Britain, France, Japan, Italy, and other countries. It represented the advanced standards of contemporary planning and design and was the banner of Magic City's financial industry.
After reading the information on Magic City Financial Street, Fan Yu put down his phone, but his emotions refused to settle for a long time.
For an ordinary white-collar worker who could earn only twenty thousand yuan a month, suddenly becoming the landlord of Magic City's entire Financial Street was no less than having an enormous fortune fall from the sky or winning the lottery. In fact, it was even greater than either of those.
After calming himself down, Fan Yu got dressed and rushed downstairs at top speed. He hailed a taxi and headed for Financial Street.
"System, how am I supposed to take over the property rights to Financial Street?"
Sitting in the taxi, Fan Yu still had no idea how to take over Financial Street's property rights. He could not exactly go to Financial Street and tell everyone he met that the place was his. They would definitely think he was insane.
"The handover of Financial Street's property rights has been fully entrusted to the Financial Street property management company. Someone will contact you and deliver the deed and relevant documents."
"It's that simple?"
Fan Yu could hardly believe it. The value of an entire Financial Street could no longer be measured in money, yet taking it over was unexpectedly simple.
Upon arriving at Financial Street, Fan Yu casually found a café, took a seat, and waited quietly.
His phone began to ring.
An unfamiliar number appeared on the screen.
Fan Yu answered the call.
"Hello, is this Mr. Fan Yu?"
Fan Yu replied, "Yes. May I ask who this is?"
"Oh, hello. I'm Liu Jian, general manager of Caesar Financial Property Management Company. I've finished organizing the documents for Caesar Financial Street. Where are you now, Mr. Fan? I'll bring them to you."
After telling Liu Jian his location, Fan Yu hung up.
Less than a few minutes later, a middle-aged man in a tailored suit and gold-rimmed glasses entered the café.
Liu Jian looked around, then walked straight toward Fan Yu.
"May I ask if you are Mr. Fan Yu?"
Fan Yu nodded. "Manager Liu, please have a seat."
Upon seeing Fan Yu, Liu Jian was somewhat restrained. Caesar Property Management Company served Financial Street, and Fan Yu was Financial Street's new owner—meaning he was also Liu Jian's new boss. He naturally had to treat him with respect.
Opening his briefcase, Liu Jian placed the property deed for Caesar Financial Street and all the transfer documents before Fan Yu.
The stack of documents was extremely thick. Just looking at it gave Fan Yu a headache. He planned to take them home and examine them carefully later, so he could gain a detailed understanding of Financial Street. After all, it would be his property from now on. How could he not understand it?
However, when Liu Jian saw Fan Yu casually toss the Financial Street ownership documents aside, he was deeply shocked. They might have been only a few sheets of paper, but their value could probably instantly make their owner one of Magic City's elite figures.
Yet this boss seemed completely unconcerned. As expected of someone capable of becoming Financial Street's owner.
He was undoubtedly someone who had cultivated the ability to remain unruffled even if Mount Tai collapsed before him to its peak.
Suppressing his shock, Liu Jian said, "Mr. Fan, Financial Street's annual rent will be transferred into your account by our company's finance department."
"Also, there is an office building on Financial Street exclusively for your use."
Although Fan Yu had already been shaken beyond measure inside, he still tried hard to maintain the composure expected of Magic City's largest landlord.
"How is Financial Street's annual income?"
Liu Jian carefully replied, "Mr. Fan, Magic City Financial Street covers two million square meters and contains 108 commercial buildings. More than 80 percent of them are business offices. These areas gather more than two thousand financial institutions and headquarters of major state-owned enterprises, represented by national financial regulatory departments, large commercial banks, insurance groups, securities firms, funds, and important market institutions. They involve 90 percent of the nation's credit funds."
"The annual rent is approximately twenty billion yuan."
The reason Liu Jian could not provide an exact rental figure was that tenant companies might encounter unforeseen circumstances, such as bankruptcy or poor business that left them unable to pay rent.
When those companies left, the occupancy rate of the commercial buildings would decline, making it impossible to accurately calculate rental income.
