Chapter 353

Zheng Jianguo felt a heartbeat in an instant, but his eyes flashed on the charming Delia's face: "that's the Empire State Building -"

Like most people of Zheng Jianguo's age in their previous life, they thought that the Empire State building was the title of imperialism.

However, after coming to the United States, Zheng Jianguo knew that New York was also called the Empire State, because George Washington, the founding father of the United States, called New York the "throne of the Empire". At that time, as the highest building in the world, the New York State building was affectionately called the Empire State building.

In addition, Zheng Jianguo's original idea of buying is to express his position, which means that he, unlike the Chinese a hundred years ago, will buy a home here after making money here, is willing to pay taxes to the United States, and will not take all the money away.

The reason why Zheng Jianguo chose the Hyatt Hotel in front is that Zheng Jianguo knows that the hotel has just been renovated. There must be no problem returning to the capital. After all, people will go to the fresh east out of curiosity. Of course, the most important thing is the loan of US $80 million.

In order to buy and renovate the hotel, Dongwang used the renovated hotel as a mortgage. On the premise that he only spent $250000 to buy the 10 million purchase right, he lent $80 million from the bank. Relying on the technique of empty handed white wolf has become a good talk in various reports.

$80 million is a modest investment. Of course, this is what Zheng Jianguo thinks. After all, it should be compared with the $2 billion he is about to throw back to China. If after building Titanic 2 with $400 million, plus buying hotels and $200 million TV stations with a price within $100 million, Augustus should be able to cope with it.

In particular, Augustus asked for one-third of the $2 billion before. Even if he didn't find the other one-third partner, Zheng Jianguo felt that this $500 million could ensure that the upper echelons of the United States would not trouble themselves.

However, Zheng Jianguo did not expect to hear the news that the Empire State building was to be sold. He bought dozens of quadrangles in the capital. Of course, he knew that this building was much more valuable than Kaiyue hotel.

The landmark buildings in New York state were the tallest skyscrapers on earth for 41 years after their completion. They were not surpassed by the world trade center until 1972 eight years ago. This has historical significance: "are you accurate?"

"Delia's father is a director of Prudential Group, that is, the actual owner of the Empire State building. Now it is advertised that the Empire State Building consortium, which bought the Empire State Building, is just a tenant who got the lease contract of the Empire State Building, and is advertised as the person who bought the Empire State Building -"

Delia, who keenly caught Zheng Jianguo's twinkling eyes, showed a more charming smile. To tell the truth, she looked down on Zheng Jianguo's face as an upstart, but Augustus was still there. She smiled and picked up the wine glass. The movement range was so large that she showed most of her exaggeration and trembled, He took a sip of wine and continued with Anthony's words: "but my father found that the board of directors approved the lease was a mistake, because Prudential had neither the right to operate and manage nor the right to share profits, and could only collect 2 million rent per year as agreed -"

"The real estate worth hundreds of millions of dollars can only charge 2 million rent every year. It seems that this is the after tax rent. Otherwise, with the real estate tax of 1.28% in New York State, this is $1.28 million. We have to pay more than half of the 2 million rent every year. Prudential should not be so stupid?"

In his mind, Zheng Jianguo's eyes swept over more than half of the white exaggeration. After two years of training, he has been able to use his eyes to insult others without changing his color. That is, don't show a guilty look after reading it, and he can also respond to the other party's statement: "this is a loss making business. He earns more than taxes every year."

"Yes, Prudential felt that it was better to sell it, so that it could recover the original investment and turn the lease agreement into waste paper -"

After putting down the glass, she waved to the waitress next to her. Delia then turned around and took out a small bag from her back and said, "so if you're interested, you can call me and I'll arrange for you to talk to my father -"

Looking at Delia, he touched a name card from his bag and stood up. After he stood up, he put his name card on the table and pushed it to his face with white fingers coated with red nail polish. Zheng Jianguo looked up his hand and didn't lift it. He also put it in his pocket. "Thank you, but I'll go back and think about it."

"You're welcome ~"

Delia waved her fingers at Zheng Jianguo, then looked at Anthony next to her, bent down and bawled on his face. After getting up, she showed her appearance as a lady, gracefully gave an exit ceremony on the stage and said, "gentlemen, Delia is leaving first. I wish you a good day ~"

"Oh, I'll take you out ~"

Anthony then stood up and said, then turned his head and squeezed his eyes at Augustus and Zheng Jianguo, threw an inexplicable look, and followed Delia's ass.

Augustus took back his eyes and looked at Zheng Jianguo: "Zheng, you should stay away from Delia. She only likes men older than her - mature, steady and charming."

"Is it rich and charming?"

When Zheng Jianguo subconsciously opened his mouth, he could certainly hear that he was warning himself. It seems that Delia's personal life is very wonderful. Although he knew that Augustus may be subconsciously reminding himself, he absolutely kept a distance from this woman: "Augustus, remember to send your blood and those around you to my unknown virus for testing when you have time, This is my advice from friends. "

"Did you find anything?"

Augustus was stunned. He quickly took out his cigar from his mouth and sat up straight. He looked at Zheng Jianguo with his eyes and looked at his face: "do you find anything on me?"

"You don't, but I found a purple scar on Delia's neck. Although she covered it well with a silk scarf, I've seen that scar on others, and there's an unknown virus in the bodies of the brothers and sisters - in the blood."

Holding the wine cup in his hand, Zheng Jianguo looked around in his hand and said, but Augustus fell into a stagnation: "unknown virus in the blood? What are the symptoms? Purpura? "

"Who have you seen?"

Looking at Augustus's gaffe, Zheng Jianguo quickly shrunk his face and changed it into a color of concern. Sure enough, he asked with his voice, Augustus quickly frowned: "my son Andre once had it, but it just happened for a few days or a period of time. What are the symptoms of this disease?"

"Well, I haven't found any other symptoms, so I suggest you take him to Boston -"

Zheng Jianguo's face slightly changed and looked at Augustus. He had marked the goods with a big HIV label in his heart. Of course, considering the identity of the other party, he said it gently: "because this test has not been done in other places -"

"Well, I'll arrange for him - will your meeting start tomorrow morning?"

Augustus obviously didn't know that a label had been marked on his forehead. He now focused on Zheng Jianguo's laboratory: "can others in that laboratory also operate the test?"

"Yes, there are MD and PhD students I took over."

Zheng Jianguo didn't expect Augustus to let himself do this experiment for his son, so he quickly said, "it's best for those who think they have a good relationship to do it."

"OK, then I won't accompany you. Where do you want to go when you leave, just let big John arrange it."

Augustus obviously stood up and said that Zheng Jianguo stood up and shook hands with him. After seeing the man go away, he looked at the watch on his wrist. Unexpectedly, he saw a waitress standing next to him.

On the girl's face, her cheeks are thin and her makeup is exquisite. It seems that she has applied an unknown amount of flour after playing with putty powder. The red lips at the corners of her mouth show a strong contrast with the white of her cheeks. She is wearing a princess dress with her shoulders exposed, and her slender neck and concave ribs are sexy.

Just the next moment, Zheng Jianguo flashed Esther's cheek in front of him, smiled at the waitress who obviously wanted to say something, turned and walked to the door. Soon after the waitress opened the door and returned to his room, he began to change his clothes.

"Zheng, are you leaving now?"

As Zheng Jianguo changed back to his previous clothes and went out of the door, he saw big John coming with a smile, so he changed his bag to his left hand, leaned out his right hand and said, "since there's nothing here, I have to go back and prepare the meeting materials. By the way, Big John, Augustus said you have a housekeeper relative -"

"Hehe, most of my blood relatives are housekeepers. Of course, they are men. Do you have any suitable positions to help?"

The smile on John's face was as gentle as before. After shaking hands with Zheng Jianguo, he walked slowly to the elevator with him: "I can't ignore your requirements, feelings and recommendations because he is my relative, so I need to know your needs first -"

"Yes, I'm going to buy a property in Manhattan. At present, the biggest problem is the lack of manpower. I need to have certain management and leadership skills. Of course, he may become my housekeeper, just like those housekeepers you said -"

Zheng Jianguo didn't expect that big John was still a little "rigid", so he said his requirements based on the property with shadow. Of course, considering his current wealth, he finally said: "it would be better if I could have a certain degree in management, because I still have a company and a TV station under preparation, So it's also likely to help me manage these industries -- "

"Then my cousin is not suitable, but I recommend to you my uncle, old John. He used to be the steward of the Earl of Cornwall's house and helped the old Earl take charge of two castles and a large number of properties on Regent Street in London. Only after the old Earl died, he angered the little Earl and took the initiative to resign as the steward."

Big John's single eyelid blinked twice, then stopped and gave his recommendation with a smile. Zheng Jianguo, who stopped with him, immediately smiled: "I don't know if the old man is willing to fly across the sea to America?"

"As you wish!"

The slender hands with gloves spread out, and Big John bowed slightly. Zheng Jianguo smiled: "take the liberty to ask, is your cousin the son of old John?"

"Yes, it's Jack's father, so I'll tell him the good news?"

Big John still kept his previous smile. Zheng Jianguo nodded and said, "then tell him the good news. I'm about to be separated and lack skills now."

"According to an old Chinese saying I just learned, those who can do more work, then I won't give it to you."

Big John seemed to think of something. His mouth was not standard, and even some strange pronunciation spit out the words "those who can do more work". Zheng Jianguo smiled and said, "Big John, I didn't expect you to say such compliments."

"That's because we are family. I won't delay you. If you want to come these two days, you can call me and I'll send someone to pick you up."

Big John said as if by magic and turned out a business card from his fingers. Zheng Jianguo swept his white gloved hand and took it. He put his hand into his inner pocket, nodded and entered the elevator accompanied by Big John. He didn't say again until he got out of the glass door of the building and got on a waiting car

"Goodbye!"

With a wave of his hand, Zheng Jianguo leaned against the back of the seat, and then sounded the two business cards he had previously received. He felt out his wallet and stuffed them in. Of course, in his opinion, it is normal for rich people to be infected with HIV.

Because of the cultural and traditional background, American men and women rarely have the habit of keeping themselves as jade before marriage, not to mention the pure female plot, not to mention the hormones stirred by alcohol in the bar and dance hall. If they look right at the coffee shop on the plane, they don't mind a meeting gun as a gift.

In addition, as rich people, or the rich second generation or the rich third generation, living without worry from childhood is for indulgence, so it is normal to go down casually in the relationship between men and women.

Moreover, with the development of the relationship between men and women or between women and men for a long time, material sufficiency leads to the lack of spirit. It is extremely normal to have a man plus a man or a woman among women.

Of course, this is also the reason why Zheng Jianguo avoided the waitress, but to his surprise, Augustus's baby also suffered from purple spots, that is, he didn't know whether it was the early symptoms of HIV. Considering that other diseases also had similar situations, such as skin contusion after fighting?

We'll wait until the test results come out.

Zheng Jianguo looked out the window at the busy traffic and high-rise buildings. His attention turned back to the Empire State building where he didn't know the exact news. Ordinary houses in America are relatively cheap because they are made of wood. You can see from his two sets of 53 and 51 St. Paul Street that the construction cost of a single set is more expensive than the original house.

The Empire State building was built in 1931. After 1981, it was exactly 50 years and half a century. However, the property ownership in the United States has no time limit. As long as it can afford the tax rate set by the city government every year, it can continue to be held.

Of course, if you can't afford to pay the tax, it will be auctioned off by the city government to make up the tax. Judging from the real estate tax rate of 1.28% given by New York City last year, this is what Zheng Jianguo had previously wondered: "a commercial lot worth nearly 100 million only charges 2 million rent a year?"

It depends on the fact that Zheng Jianguo only collected so much money for hundreds of millions of industries and did not bother to find out the reason. There are many taxes and tax rates in the United States. The real estate tax alone integrates the land value, real estate value and permanent real estate decoration. It is calculated that the comprehensive tax rate of this imperial state last year was 1.28%.

Of course, there is no exception in the United States. Zheng Jianguo alone knows that the government can sue homeowners when building public facilities. If it is judged that the prosecution is justified, it will take the court's judgment as the standard.

However, whether the federal government or the state government as the plaintiff, considering that the duration of litigation in the United States is in years, it is likely that the plaintiff has changed before the judgment result of this kind of litigation.

After all, what project facilities have been delayed for several years is also the end of grasshoppers after autumn. This is also the reason why Zheng Jianguo did not hear relevant reports. Of course, only rich people can hire lawyers in the face of similar lawsuits.

In most cases, ordinary people will accept the compensation offered a little higher than the market value, which also belongs to the concept of different people's opinions.

At present, Zheng Jianguo is a standard rich man.

When the car stopped under the canopy of the Hyatt Hotel, the doorman in exaggerated clothes had opened the door, put his hand on the top of the door frame with white gloves, and said to Zheng Jianguo, "Sir, welcome to the Hyatt Hotel --"

"Thank you ~"

Knowing that he was asking for a tip, Zheng Jianguo took out a two dollar note from his pocket and handed it to him. He changed it specially before he came out. Just as he stepped on the thick carpet, he saw kafuna coming with Fiona wearing the uniform of Mayo Medical College. Kafuna smiled: "Zheng, I see you can appear, I'm so happy. I didn't expect you to meet that kind of thing. "

"Yes, I didn't expect to encounter that kind of thing, but fortunately, it's over -"

Knowing that kafulan was sympathizing with the dispute between himself and Valerie's father and daughter, Zheng Jianguo tilted his head and smiled. As he said, his attention shifted to supporting the emblem of Mayo Medical College on the deformed Fiona: "Hello, Fiona, hasn't director Walton come yet?"

"Zheng, if you ask Professor Walton whether he has arrived in New York, I will say that he has arrived, but he is still doing the final inspection in the conference center. I thought you were on the morning flight -"

Kafulan said with a smile. Zheng Jianguo's eyes stopped on Fiona's face again. Until now, he found that Fiona was somewhat similar to the big Princess of the hotel owner, so he turned to kafulan and said, "yes, I took the morning flight. I just got off the plane and met some friends, I didn't come with Professor Ye minde. The hotel is well decorated. I heard that the boss is very famous? "

"It's a bit famous, but it depends on who you compare with. If you compare it with Fiona and me, he must be a celebrity in New York. Just compared with Zheng you, he's nothing -"

The blue eyes swept over the faces of Zheng Jianguo and Fiona. When kafulan felt something between them, he said it with a constant smile. He saw Zheng Jianguo smile and nod his head and said, "Dr. kafulan, if you let the boss hear this, I'm afraid it will be sad."

"The boss is a complete liar. In order to get the preferential tax policy of the city government, he asked the hotel manager to release the false news of closing the door, and then use the assets that haven't been obtained to mortgage the bank to lend money. Don't go near him and be careful to deceive you."

Fiona obviously knows Dongwang better. Of course, all the information she said can be seen in the report, but Zheng Jianguo didn't know she would care so much about herself, so she nodded and said, "well, I'll keep a distance from him. Thank you, Fiona."

"Hehe, invite me out that night?"

Fiona said brightly, looked at Caffrey next to her, and found that she was smiling at herself, so she continued to say, "why don't you talk to Dr. Caffrey first and I'll find you later."

"Well - didn't your boyfriend come?"

Zheng Jianguo promised with a suspicious smile on his face. He saw Fiona shaking two ponytails behind her head and said, "he was going to come, but now he can't get away, so I came by myself. But don't worry. I won't let you spend money. I just want to borrow your identity and see you later."

"My identity?"

The Harvard Club flashed in his mind. Zheng Jianguo suddenly remembered that he didn't know Fiona's family background. He just thought of seeing her off here and looked at Caffrey next to him: "Dr. Caffrey, are you ready?"

"Everything is ready. Dr. Zheng, the $10 million donated by the umbrella group has also arrived. Zheng, please let me say that you are really rich. The executive director of Walton said that he would entrust me to specially produce a certificate for the umbrella company, just like the graduation certificate of Harvard Medical School -"

Spread out his hands with a smile and made a gesture in front of him. Kafulan guided Zheng Jianguo to the service desk and began to go through the accommodation formalities. Zheng Jianguo also handed out his driver's license and smiled. These things have been finalized for a long time: "what's the good news recently?"

"The good news is that Mayo Clinic took a picture of Helicobacter pylori. Needless to say, you must have known. Director Amy didn't look very good when I mentioned this -"

When kafulan tilted her head and said something, Zheng Jianguo looked at the front desk attendant who registered the information and took back the driver's license and key. When he heard this, he said, "then I feel that Dr kafulan, you are stimulating our director Amy -"

"Hehe, but after all, it's the latest discovery of Helicobacter pylori -"

Kafulan said with a smile. When Zheng Jianguo nodded silently, they heard a familiar voice nearby: "Jianguo, you've come. Haven't seen you for a long time."

"Um - Yunhui."

Turning to look at the person who opened his mouth, Zheng Jianguo nodded in Mandarin with a smile, then turned to kafulan and introduced it in English: "Dr. kafulan, this is my former graduate classmate in Qi Provincial Medical College, Shen Yunhui --"

"Well, I won't bother you to catch up with your old classmates, but there is a simple dinner party for you at 18:30 p.m. and you don't have to wear a dress. I just said you don't run around with Fiona -"

She looked down at the delicate watch on her wrist. Kafulan smiled and reminded Zheng Jianguo. She nodded at Shen Yunhui and turned away. Her back was elegant and elegant.

Knowing that Dr. kafulan was probably beating himself to stay away from Fiona, Zheng Jianguo raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Shen Yunhui. Behind him, there were two more people in cadre clothes, one old and one middle school. The old man had white hair and beard, and the middle-aged man had a familiar big back. He stared at him and turned around. The middle-aged man looked at him, He opened his mouth and said, "Zheng Jianguo, where's Professor Ye?"

"Oh -"

He took the bag in his left hand. Zheng Jianguo looked at the gold watch on his wrist, then looked at the middle-aged man with a smile and said, "watch your speech, comrade. I have a tape recorder in my pocket."

"Uh, tape recorder? What tape recorder??? "

The middle-aged man subconsciously frowned. Behind the thick glasses at the bottom of the wine bottle, there was a question mark in his black eyes, and then flashed an angry color. As soon as his momentum changed, he said, "Professor Ye is also an old professor. He is so disorganized and undisciplined -"

"Well, Yunhui, who is this?"

Zheng Jianguo, who was originally joking, was stunned. He didn't expect that the goods didn't know his glorious history, so that they were mistakenly beaten and bumped by others, which pierced his bluff. Now he really didn't bring a tape recorder, but he didn't worry. He still maintained his usual state of mind: "which leader?"

"This is director Kong of the foreign affairs department. He is the interpreter and vice captain of the academic group -"

Shen Yunhui said with an embarrassed look. Of course, he didn't dare not answer Zheng Jianguo's questions. He just remembered that he had offended director Kong when they met. Don't mention his depression. After thinking about it, he said, "Professor Ye didn't say hello to the health department of Qi province when he came out?"

"Why didn't you say hello to Qiu, deputy director of the provincial Party committee?"

Zheng Jianguo ignored Shen Yunhui's face. Of course, he also knew that what others said was reasonable. Those who came out according to the rules had to obey the management of foreign affairs, especially the one who was going to return home. Finally, after half a year of wrangling, he stayed in the United States. Nominally, he went to study in the so-called last semester, but everyone was not a fool.

Zheng Jianguo can guess that even if he goes back after his study, he will come out again. Therefore, considering this, he quickly took the matter to himself. After glancing at the middle-aged man with doubts on his face, he said, "there is a laboratory here that needs Professor Ye, so I let them come out first."

"What lab? What do you study? "

Before Zheng Jianguo's voice fell, the white haired old man who appeared with director Kong pulled his face and calmly opened his mouth. Zheng Jianguo looked at Shen Yunhui with a question mark on his face.

When Shen Yunhui was secretly worried, he found that he didn't know what to do when he looked at him. So when Zheng Jianguo was about to speak, director Kong first said, "this is Professor Jin of Capital Medical University and an authoritative expert on the digestive system."

"Oh, Hello, Professor Kim, the laboratory and content are confidential, because the research involved is competitive with your field. Of course, I can tell you that this laboratory is from MIT."

Knowing that this may be the person who abducted Shen Yunhui from the Qi Provincial Medical College, Zheng Jianguo didn't make a public appearance. Of course, as for what he said, Professor Jin blackened his face immediately. It's another thing: "after all, considering the Professor Kong I met before I went abroad, someone said last time that he was still jumping in China, so we should pay more attention in this regard --"

"Professor Kong?"

Professor Jin's old face recovered a little, and he was able to run to dig Shen Yunhui into the Medical University. Of course, he had heard of the grievances between Professor Kong and Zheng Jianguo. Especially after joining the representative group, he knew more about the grievances between Professor Zheng Jianguo and Professor Kong. He immediately frowned, looked at each other's bright appearance and said, "Zheng Jianguo, can you come out and study, I feel lucky to account for the vast majority. "

"Hey, boss, are you so late?"

Professor Jin just opened his mouth. Esther, who appeared from the elevator, quickly took a gust of fragrance to Zheng Jianguo. He took a delicate cheek full of youth and looked at the other three people. It seemed that he had disturbed Zheng Jianguo and opened his eyes after talking with others. He looked embarrassed and went to Zheng Jianguo's side, blinking his big eyes and looked at Professor Jin, "I've been waiting for you for a long time," he said in a low, inaudible voice

"What I want to tell you is about this meeting. In the past, our country didn't have this Gastroenterology Society, and it's nothing for you to join the American Gastroenterology Society. Now that our country has this association, I think it's better for you to attend as a member of our society -"

Looking at the blonde girl, with Zheng Jianguo's introduction, it seems that Professor Jin frowned and opened his mouth. Unlike Zheng Jianguo, who thought that the purpose of participating in the domestic association was to show his sense of existence, his purpose was to pull Zheng Jianguo back from the American branch: "after all, you are a Republican."

Unexpectedly, Professor Jin's attention was on this. Zheng Jianguo thought a little and realized that the old man had not attended such a meeting before. His current nationality has not changed, but his status is still a student: "Professor Jin, according to his nationality, I can attend the meeting as a member of the gastroenterology Association of the Republic, just considering my current status, It's also a resident who is receiving training and completing his studies at Massachusetts General Hospital, so attending this meeting is also as a resident. In this way, we can't be as a society. "
