Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 585: Chapter 585: Buying a plot of land in Beverly Hills

Everyone at ACP found the young investor from the East rather strange. The agreement was signed, the cheque was left, and then he just left, without even inspecting the company or having a meal.

However, Allen was very satisfied with his attitude. Feng Yiping's promise not to interfere with his research seemed to be more than just words. 'Alright, everyone go back to work,' he said to the employees who had also come out to see him off.

'As I said, as long as we keep up the good work and achieve results, funding will definitely not be a problem. Now that we have no worries, let's all go for it. But remember, we must work even harder to ensure a steady flow of funding!'

Although he is more adept at and prefers research and development work, after so many years of entrepreneurship, Alan has already developed a set of methods for managing and motivating the company.

'Leaving already?' Mike looked at the company that was getting further and further away. He is now a director of that company, but he hasn't even gone into his own office to take a look.

'I told you the focus of our work a long time ago. You don't need to worry about day-to-day affairs, just focus on financing the company and technology transfer,' Feng Yiping said.

Like him, Michael was a complete outsider in this industry, and if he got involved in things he wouldn't know anything about, he might just become a hindrance.

But judging from the fact that the company was still going strong more than ten years later, Allen was clearly capable.

'And of course there's the routine financial audit,' Feng Yiping told Bob.

Whatever the boss says goes, and these two people, who didn't have much contact with Feng Yiping, now understood that this young man, who was only half their age, could be quite dictatorial in some matters.

However, perhaps the boss has a different perspective, and they just need to fulfil their duty to warn.

Then, on the way back to the hotel, Feng Yiping said another sentence that matched his identity as a boss: 'Keep an eye out for me for a suitable house for sale in Beverly Hills. It doesn't need to be big, but the view must be good, with the mountains at the back and the sea in front,'

'If there's nothing suitable, see if I can buy a plot of land in a place like this, I can build it myself.'

The two Americans were a little taken aback. To be honest, they weren't sure about the net worth of this young boss in front of them, but they knew about the houses in Beverly Hills. This place could be said to be one of the top luxury housing areas in the world. He couldn't possibly not know the house prices here, could he?

'Feng, didn't you say you wanted to buy property in Silicon Valley?' Mike asked, used to calling Feng by his English name and never really remembering it.

'Yes, in Silicon Valley. You help me hurry up. I'll come to the US as an exchange student next year, so I need a place to stay,'

'Okay,' Mike asked. What he really wanted to say was, "Is it necessary to buy in Silicon Valley and here? Do you have enough money in your pocket?"

But seeing that Feng Yiping didn't seem to have thought about this question, he decided to assume that there were no problems in this regard.

Bob also asked tentatively, 'Should you consider Arcadia? There are more Chinese people there, and the facilities are more complete. There are many Chinese restaurants and supermarkets selling Chinese specialty products,'

what he really wanted to say was that the housing prices there are lower.

Unexpectedly, when Feng Yiping heard him mention this, he hurriedly shook his head, 'Don't consider that, just Beverly Hills,'

Arcadia and Hollywood, one in the northeast of Los Angeles, the other in the northwest, were originally nothing special. But as a person who had been reborn, Feng Yiping had always heard of two places in North America: one was Vancouver in Canada, which was also known as 'the original settlement'.

The other was Arcadia.

It was originally an ordinary suburb of Los Angeles, but as more and more Chinese officials and rich people settled their mistresses here, it later developed into another high-end community.

It also has an unofficially famous name, 'Ernai Village', which is the transliteration of ** Village.

What Feng Yiping knows is that during the later vigorous anti-corruption campaign, the chief engineer of the Ministry of Railways, who was brought down, had placed one there.

'Okay, I'll contact the real estate agent right away,' since Feng Yiping had shown that money was not a problem, they didn't have much to say, except that they hoped he wouldn't be shocked by the offer price.

The climate in Silicon Valley is not as mild as that in Hollywood. In Mike's office, drinking a cup of fragrant coffee, Feng Yiping assigned Mike another task, which was the website for the 'free rice' he had mentioned.

Feng Yiping told him the general idea: 'Arrange it so that you can find the time to make this website.'

'That's a good idea, Feng, but in the current climate, doing something like this in Silicon Valley may not have the desired effect,'

Yes, as the old saying goes, when the granary is full, one knows about etiquette. This is universally true. Now there are so many people in Silicon Valley who are struggling to survive, how many of them will have the heart to do charity work?

Feng Yiping laughed, 'I'm not asking you to start this project in Silicon Valley, just to design the website first. I also require you to keep this website confidential and not spread it to the outside world. This is also a big deal, so don't be sloppy.

As for when it will go online and how it will operate, I will make the arrangements.'

'Understood!' Michael now increasingly felt that this little boss of his seemed to be an authentic American. Not only did he want to settle in Beverly Hills, but he also cared so much about the environment and was thinking of ways to help charity.

...

When it comes to buying land, some people are much more generous than Feng Yiping.

In the provincial capital, after mortgaging all the property that could be mortgaged, Liu Jizhong finally raised enough funds. The commercial housing project, which is located near the Petrochemical Building and covers an area of 150 acres and which he named 'Xiangjiang Manor', held its groundbreaking ceremony today.

Unlike Feng Yiping and the others, who prefer to keep a low profile, Liu Jizhong likes to make as much noise as possible. Not only did he invite the leaders of the local government and related units, as well as the leaders of Binjiang District, who have nothing to do with this place, but he also went to a lot of trouble to organise several media outlets to attend.

There was also a military band on site, a real military band, which was also invited from the garrison through connections.

After the speeches by the various leaders, Liu Jizhong, beaming with joy, shouted from the stage with all his might, 'I declare that the construction of Xiangjiang Manor has officially begun!'

Together with a dozen other leaders, he used shovels tied with red ribbons to symbolically shovel up a spade of soil, thinking complacently, 'Today I'm shovelling soil, and next year, I should be reaping bundles and bundles of money!'

...

Ma Ling waited until they returned to the dormitory before opening the large box Feng Yiping had given her. Coincidentally, it also contained a bag, also made of brown cowhide, but of a slightly more luxurious brand than the one she had given Feng Yiping.

Inside the bag was a small box, which Ma Ling thought was jewellery. She opened it to find a simple and elegant Longines watch, which she immediately put on her wrist.

It seems that Feng Yiping and she have similar standards for choosing gifts. Neither of them chooses gifts that are particularly meaningful and that a boyfriend or girlfriend should give, such as necklaces, rings, neckties, belts, etc., but rather things that are often used or seen, things that make people think of the person.

Bags and watches that she usually carries with her are indeed a good choice.

As soon as she finished packing, her roommate came in and saw the rose gold watch on her wrist at a glance, as if she had discovered a new continent. 'Didn't you always hate these things?'

Ma Ling smiled sweetly, "It was a gift from someone else,'

'Someone else? Is it someone you've been seeing these past two days? Tell me about it," her roommate's gossip fire was burning brightly.
