Chapter 392 Buying a Villa
On the way back to the hotel, Huo Xingzhi thanked her: "Ms. Ji, thank you for taking care of my mother."
Ji Qinglan glanced at him and said, "Mr. Huo, what are you talking about?"
Huo Xingzhi smiled gently and said, "My mother has already told me that in order to allow my father and I to leave the country smoothly, she stayed in the mainland alone. Thank you for those days."
Because of their status as foreign businessmen, the Huo family was persecuted by enemies in the business world and his father was forced to be demoted. He escaped because he was studying in Hong Kong.
Among those who were sent down with my father, some chose to commit suicide because they could not bear the torture. My father decided to escape at that time. In order to ensure my father's safety, my mother voluntarily stayed in the mainland and suffered a lot for it.
Ji Qinglan didn't expect that his alias would be told to Huo Xingzhi so easily by Mrs. Huo, but it didn't matter, as Mrs. Huo only knew one side of the story.
She could recognize herself at a glance because they had spent a lot of time together and were familiar with each other.
If it was Chen Shan, he would definitely not recognize her.
"It's all in the past, not worth mentioning. Now that China is developing rapidly, I hope Mr. Huo can come back to invest and build the motherland together."
"Yes, I will go back if I have the chance." Huo Xingzhi nodded.
"I heard that Miss Ji is interested in buying a house in Repulse Bay. I happen to have two nice ones. I wonder if Miss Ji is interested."
Huo Xingzhi was going to leave messages for himself on those two houses, but when he learned from Lao He that Ji Qinglan was planning to buy a house, he gave up the houses without a second thought.
Ji Qinglan immediately understood Huo Xingzhi's implication, which was just to repay a favor.
Yeah.
Using money to end a relationship is the most correct way.
"I happen to have some money in my hand and I am planning to buy a villa in Hong Kong City. I am very grateful to Mr. Huo for giving it to me."
Zhou Hanxuan received an important order at the last minute and had to give up her plan to accompany her fiancé and Ji Qinglan to see the house.
When Ji Qinglan and Qiao Shaorong went to Repulse Bay to look at houses, the sales manager had been waiting for them for a long time.
Last night he received a call from the eldest young master's assistant, asking him to receive Miss Ji Qinglan, the distinguished guest of the Huo family today.
He was deeply terrified when he met the person.
"Mr. Huo specifically instructed that all houses purchased by Miss Ji under the Huo's name in the future will be discounted by 85%."
15% off?
Qiao Shaorong was shocked.
In the entire Hong Kong city, I'm afraid no one can get such a low discount when buying a house from the Huo family. What is the relationship between his sister and Mrs. Huo?
Of course, the manager did not forget about Qiao Shaorong, and said to him respectfully, "Of course, our President Huo specifically told us that Mr. Qiao will get a 95% discount."
95% off?
Qiao Shaorong felt that he was looked down upon.
The Huo family has its own security company that trains poisonous agents. It can be said that the Repulse Bay Villa District is the community with the most complete security facilities in the port city.
The manager personally took Ji Qinglan to visit two villas. One was decorated in European style. The furniture inside looked simple and low-key, but gave people a warm feeling. There was a garden and swimming pool at the back, as well as a small green running track, covering an area of 280 square meters.
The other one is antique and Chinese style with oriental colors, covering an area of more than 300 square meters. It also has a huge garden and lotus pond. Now the lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, and the lotus leaves are fluttering, showing off the coolness of summer.
What surprised Ji Qinglan was that the furniture inside was actually a set of rosewood. It was indeed the house that Huo Xingzhi had reserved for himself.
The two houses are backed by green mountains and face the sea, located in the best location in Repulse Bay.
Qiao Shaorong remained silent, calculating frantically in his mind. According to the discount given by Huo Xingzhi, either set would be a great bargain.
Ji Qinglan knew, of course, that she had chosen the European style set. Rosewood was easy to come by, and she couldn't be so shameless.
The villa was priced at 17 million, but because of the 15% discount, we saved 2.55 million.
Ji Qinglan paid the money without hesitation.
Qiao Shaorong directly chose the house next to Ji Qinglan. Of course, the facilities inside could not compare with Ji Qinglan's, but the price was cheaper, 12 million. He paid the money directly and later modified it according to his and Zhou Hanxuan's wishes.
The two signed the house purchase contract before going back.
Ji Qinglan also got the key and could stay there directly at night.
When leaving, Ji Qinglan got directly into Qiao Shaorong's car and asked the driver Lao He to go back first.
In the car, Ji Qinglan said to Qiao Shaorong, "Shaorong, I want to buy some things. Do you have any connections?"
"Sister, just tell me what you want to buy. Is there anything I can't buy in Hong Kong?"
"Some medicines and weapons."
"Which ones do you want? How many do you want?"
"There are some that are not available in China. Quality is more important than quantity. I heard that the United States has recently developed a new type of weapon. It would be great if we could get the blueprints..."
"Shao Rong, why don't you speak?"
Qiao Shaorong...
I swallowed secretly, wanting to go back to one minute ago and slap myself in the face.
I slipped up and these are indeed difficult for him.
It's not an easy difficulty, it's a hell level difficulty.
Ji Qinglan still didn't know what was going on in Qiao Shaorong's mind. She knew that wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong liked to hire bodyguards for themselves. Even in the car following behind, there were four of Qiao Shaorong's full-time bodyguards, and they were all wearing pistols.
She has always had this plan in mind, and she can ask 515 to help her buy it. 515 claims to be omnipotent.
However, the things must be put out in the open and cannot be obtained through illegal means.
Now that she has money, things are easier.
Where did it come from?
She bought it through connections.
Where does the money come from?
She made the money from stock trading.
Everything is well documented.
Qiao Shaorong thought seriously for a while, and had to confess to Ji Qinglan: "Sister, the Qiao family has a black market background, and they often get some medicines from them. I can't guarantee the weapons, but I can get the medicines."
Ji Qinglan's eyes lit up, but he still asked cautiously: "Is it reliable?"
"No problem, my dad saved him before, absolutely no problem."
"Okay, let's make an appointment and I'll go meet you."
Qiao Shaorong sent Ji Qinglan back to the hotel, and went straight to Qiao's father's study when he got home. Qiao's father was processing some documents at the moment, and when he saw his youngest son coming back, he couldn't help but take off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.
"I run outside every day, and help out at the company when I have nothing to do."
Qiao Shaorong curled his lips and said he would not go.
"Dad, I'm busy! My factory in the mainland needs me to take care of it, so let big brother handle the business in Hong Kong!"
Father Qiao sighed inwardly. He naturally understood his eldest son's temperament. He was indecisive, good at maintaining the status quo but not good at exploring new things. He was much worse than his youngest son.
The younger son is unwilling to get involved in company affairs.
"What brings you back?"
"Dad, I'd like to ask Uncle Zhou to help me buy some things." Qiao Shaorong sat down and went straight to the point.
Father Qiao looked at him and quickly understood.
"She wants to use it?"
"I want to buy some medicine and weapons and ship them back to the mainland."
