Chapter 11: Tomson Riviera (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Favorites)
"Mr. Gao, could you please repeat what you said this morning in front of Mr. Lu?"
"Are you saying that in Magic City, besides your Brilliance, I can't find any other real estate company to build a factory for me?"
Fan Yu said calmly.
Gao Ye's breathing hitched. "Mr. Fan, I truly didn't know it was you. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to say those things."
"One month, I can definitely do it, Mr. Fan, please rest assured."
Fan Yu shook his head. "I've changed my mind. It must be completed within a month, but the construction payment might need to be reduced."
"Then how much is Mr. Fan prepared to give?" Gao Ye asked cautiously.
"Not a cent."
"Moreover, I will require your Brilliance to complete it within a month. If you fail to do so, you will have to compensate me for my losses."
"My Aoshu Company's daily turnover is in the millions. So, I'll demand tenfold compensation."
"Mr. Fan, Mr. Fan, how is that possible? Without payment, the workers won't work as they won't get paid."
Gao Ye's expression was unsightly as he said with a wry smile.
"Heh heh."
Fan Yu looked towards Lu Zhendong.
"Director Lu, your company's vice president seems unable to fulfill this. What are your thoughts on this?"
Lu Zhendong said in a deep voice, "Mr. Fan, I guarantee completion within a month. As for the construction payment, consider it Brilliance's sincerity for our first collaboration with Mr. Fan."
"Hmm, not bad. Director Lu certainly knows how to do business."
"Alright, I have other matters to attend to. You may leave. Regarding the construction, the sooner the better. I've already specified the site in the contract. Starting earlier means finishing earlier."
Lu Zhendong and Gao Ye left Garden in Garden.
Lu Zhendong looked at Gao Ye with a grim expression. "You're really something else. It seems you're not suited to be vice president at all. Go explain yourself to the board. You'll have to figure out the payment for Mr. Fan's project yourself."
"When I get home, I'll talk to your sister. You should just go back to being a foreman."
Gao Ye was Lu Zhendong's brother-in-law. Because Lu Zhendong was in the construction business, he had also gotten rich following him. With his sister's connections, Gao Ye had amassed a fortune of over a hundred million yuan over the years, making him somewhat arrogant.
"Hey, brother-in-law, brother-in-law."
Watching Lu Zhendong's car drive away, Gao Ye looked anxious. If he had to pay the entire hundred million himself, he would be ruined, and all his efforts over the years would be in vain.
As for running away, it was just a thought. Causing the company to lose a hundred million was a life-threatening risk.
It wasn't easy to build a real estate company to a market value of tens of billions.
Driving away, Lu Zhendong was in no mood to be pleasant. Not only had he offended Fan Yu because of Gao Ye's actions, but he had also almost plunged Brilliance into an abyss of eternal damnation.
The group didn't belong to him alone; there were several other directors. He needed to go back and hold a meeting with them to discuss this matter.
As for the money lost, it would naturally come out of Gao Ye's own pocket.
"Alright, you can go and get busy too," Fan Yu said to Liu Jian after Lu Zhendong and the other man had left.
Liu Jian bowed slightly. "Then boss, I'll get back to work. Just give me a command if you need anything."
He had truly witnessed Fan Yu's power today. A hundred million yuan project was settled with just a few words, saving a hundred million. Who else could do that?
Moreover, who would willingly swallow their pride and accept such a loss of a hundred million?
He called Zhang Qian and told her that the factory project had been resolved. He asked her to supervise the quality control and instructed Brilliance to use the best materials, without worrying about the cost.
Zhang Qian couldn't help but ask curiously, "How was the Brilliance issue resolved?"
Fan Yu smiled faintly. "They said it's their first time collaborating with us, so they'll build the factory for us for free."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qian was astonished. Fan Yu's influence was immense. Brilliance Group was quite famous in Magic City's real estate sector, yet they were willing to build a factory for Fan Yu at their own expense?
Everything was ready except for the final push. Once the factory was built, Aoshu could quickly start production, giving them their own supply chain and no longer being controlled by others.
"Let's go take a look at the houses in Tomson Riviera."
Fan Yu was quite curious about Tomson Riviera.
It was known as the most expensive real estate in Magic City, and he wanted to see how extraordinary it was.
Tomson Riviera was not far from Financial Street and faced the Huangpu River, boasting a prime waterfront view. It was indeed in the best geographical location in Magic City.
Driving to Tomson Riviera, he used his access card and drove directly in.
The system was fully equipped, providing parking spaces, access cards, and everything else.
He entered Tomson Riviera under the envious and respectful gaze of the security guards.
Tomson Riviera consisted of four residential buildings and one high-end clubhouse, similar to Earth.
It was said that Tomson Riviera covered a land area of 20,000 square meters, with a building area of 200,000 square meters.
The highest floor is the 50th. Standing on the top floor, one can clearly see the scenery of Financial Street, as well as the panoramic view of the Huangpu River.
However, the height of the floors was somewhat different from Earth's.
Driving into the underground parking garage, countless luxury cars appeared before his eyes. Some of them were even covered in a thick layer of dust, indicating that their owners hadn't used them for a long time.
According to the information provided by the system, he found his parking spot.
However, in his parking spot, there was a Rolls-Royce parked there.
Fan Yu didn't think much of it. After all, before he signed for the apartment, this place was ownerless. Perhaps someone's guest had nowhere to park and decided to park it here.
He got out of the car and looked around, but couldn't find any contact information left by the owner.
He called the property management to see if they could contact the owner.
Not long after, three security guards, led by a property manager, walked over.
"Sir, what's the matter?"
Fan Yu pointed at the Rolls-Royce in his parking spot. "Please contact the owner of this car and ask them to move it. My car has nowhere to park."
"Alright, sir. I'll contact them right away."
Fan Yu waited for the property manager to contact the owner. He wasn't too angry. According to the system's information, the apartment he owned in Tomson Riviera had never been sold. After all, with a price of nearly 300 million, it was unaffordable for ordinary people.
But now that it belonged to him, whoever was occupying his parking spot should move.
However, after the property manager finished the call, his expression turned a bit grim.
Fan Yu asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
"No one answered."
Fan Yu nodded. "Keep calling."
The property manager felt it was a difficult situation, as it was their management's oversight that led to this.
He then diligently made the calls.
However, the second number was turned off.
Fan Yu smiled faintly. "Fine, then how about this: I'll buy another parking spot. You handle the paperwork for me, then park my car properly, lock up his car, and when the owner contacts you, tell them to call me."
