After getting their approval, Zhang Xinya was somewhat excited, yet also faintly concerned at the same time. Though the present her was a famous singing star at the height of popularity, she debuted quite late and didn’t have a deep capital. Forking out 200 million yuan was already her limit; she’d even have to sell her two villas in Beijing and Guangyang to gather the sufficient amount.
She knew clearly well about Tang Xiu’s situation. He was definitely filthy rich. After all, when he was in Hong Kong, the benefits Tang Xiu ultimately obtained surpassed 10 billion yuan. The two others, Gu Changmin and Jin Xingkui, were famous Big Bosses a net wealth of more than 10 billion.
Therefore, they could afford to lose money. But not her.
Despite so, she believed in her own vision. Cooperating with the three of them, the probability of earning a profit was much greater than the odds of a loss. She felt that she would regret it later if she missed such a good opportunity.
Next to her, Tang Xiu was not aware of Zhang Xinya’s thoughts. After he and Gu Changmin finished talking, he turned to Jin Xingkui and smiled, “Old Brother Jin, I just heard that you have a project in hand, yet you are currently short on funds, right?”
Jin Xingkui looked blank. A glint flashed in his eyes as he inquired, “My original funds were not ample already. therefore, investing several hundred million yuan in the IP and APP projects definitely put me short on money. I will be very pleasantly surprised if someone can invest.”
“Tell me about your project.” Tang Xiu said with a smile.
“I took over a strategic site and spent a lot of money on it.” Jin Xingkui smiled and said, “And now, I’m planning to develop an upscale residential area project…”
“I see.” Tang Xiu raised his hand and said, “But what I’m wondering now is, how much the total investment you’ve forecasted in advance for this project?”
After contemplating for a short while, Jin Xingkui then seriously said, “The total investment should be around 3.2 billion yuan. This is excluding the value of the site. If we calculate that the amount I spent buying the site was 2 billion yuan, it should be around 5.5 billion yuan or so. Additionally, because my company has another ongoing projects, half of the 3.2 billion yuan funds must be funded from a bank’s loan.”
Tang Xiu looked pensive before saying, “In fact, I’m very interested in investing in real estate, too. My Magnificent Tang Corporation also engages in real estate business. If you are willing to redo the planning and preparation, I may consider joining in the venture capital as well. Furthermore, the amount of investment won’t be less than my investment in the Dingshen Media’s project.”
Jin Xingkui was startled, and then quickly asked, “Brother Tang, can you elaborate about this re-planning?”
“Start everything from scratch, excluding the plot of land.” Tang Xiu said, “Of course, the most important thing is to design the blueprint for the architectural plan.”
“This…” Jin Xingkui hesitated.
“You can leave the architectural blueprint design for the upscale residential area to me.” Tang Xiu said.
“To you?” Jin Xingkui dazed and incredulously said, “Do you know about designing architectural blueprints? Brother Tang, please don’t joke about that with me.”
He didn’t believe it.
He didn’t believe that Tang Xiu knew how to design architectural blueprints. Even if he did have the knowledge, he didn’t believe that Tang Xiu was able to draw a good architectural design. It must be noted that he had hired a well-known domestic architect to design the architectural blueprint for this plot of land. Not to mention that it also took a long time to complete.
Furthermore, he was also very satisfied with the architectural blueprints that had already been designed. He firmly believed that once it had been constructed, he would be able to attract the public’s attention and become popular. By then, the sales issue would become much smaller as well.”
Looking at Jin Xingkui’s expression, Tang Xiu was silent for a moment. Then, he lightly said, “Originally, the New City project’s architectural blueprints in Star City’s outskirts that is now being developed and constructed, the blueprints for those buildings were drawn by me.”
“What?”
Jin Xingkui, a dignified Big Boss with a 10-billion-yuan net wealth, jumped up from his chair after hearing Tang Xiu’s statement. A look of disbelief covered his face, as his heart violently shook.
“You can call the project leader, that is the Long Group’s Big Boss—Long Hanwen, in Star City if you don’t believe me. He’ll confirm it.” Tang Xiu said.
Gasping and taking a few deep breaths, Jin Xingkui immediately took his mobile phone out and dialed Long Hanwen’s private number. Both of them were in the real estate business, and they also had high positions in the business community, so they had contacted each other many times before.
“Boss Jin, what brings your call today? To think that you would call me?” Long Hanwen’s voice was transmitted from the cell phone.
Jin Xingkui activated the loudspeaker feature and hurriedly asked, “Brother Long, I have something to ask you. But please, you must tell me the truth.”
Upon hearing the seriousness in Jin Xingkui’s tone, Long Hanwen replied in a deep and heavy voice, “Brother Jin, I won’t conceal it if I’m capable to answer.”
“I want to know about the architect who designed the architectural blueprints for that New City in Star City your Long Family is currently developing. Who was it?” Jin Xingkui quickly asked.
“I can’t tell you that!” Long Hanwen replied without hesitation.
Jin Xingkui gasped. He then forced a smile and said, “Brother Long, then I’ll ask you in another way. Was the architect who designed that architectural blueprints surnamed Tang?”
Tang Xiu shook his head and took the mobile phone. He then said, “Uncle Long, it’s Tang Xiu. There are some special reasons here, so you don’t need to hide it from Old Brother Jin.”
