After all, he can earn more than eight million yuan a year from renting this building. It's like making money while lying down. If he were to sell it, it would be a one-off deal. Naturally, he wants a steady stream of income and doesn't want to sell!
Although the HK$120 million that Boss Xu offered is considered a fairly fair price in Hong Kong right now, it may not be worthwhile in the long run!
Xu Lang naturally knew that property prices on Hong Kong Island would continue to rise. Buying this building now for 120 million would only lead to huge profits in the future. So, from the moment he saw it, he had no intention of renting it and wanted to buy it directly.
Mr. Xu said with a troubled expression, "Boss Xu, I've always rented this building to others for business purposes, and I've never thought about selling it to anyone..."
As he finished speaking, his voice grew softer and softer.
"Ha~"
Xu Lang chuckled and said directly, "Mr. Xu, I'm not discussing this with you; I'm buying it outright. Don't forget I'm with Dongxing. I can buy it or not, but if this building burns down or gets bombed one day, it might not be worth this much then. You should think carefully!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Xu's expression grew increasingly grim.
After all, Xu Lang is a member of a triad, and his reputation in the underworld is too great. He is just an ordinary businessman with a net worth of over 100 million, not yet at the level of a major conglomerate or tycoon in Hong Kong. If he wants to fight Xu Lang, he probably won't have a good outcome!
In that case, we might end up losing both our wife and our army!
"..."
After a long silence, Mr. Xu finally said, "Alright then, it'll be 120 million. I'll sell that building to you, Boss Xu!"
"Hmm~"
Hearing what Boss Xu said, Xu Lang nodded and said to Hong Wentong, the second brother of the Spirit Serpent, who was sitting next to him, "Go and get the contract documents ready as soon as possible, and then sign the contract with Boss Xu!"
"Understood, boss!"
Hong Wentong, the second brother of the Spirit Snake, nodded.
Xu Lang turned to Boss Xu beside him and said, "Boss Xu, you can just contact Atong directly when the time comes!"
"Yes, Boss Xu!"
Although Mr. Xu was uncomfortable, he could only smile and nod in agreement.
After chatting with Boss Xu for a few more minutes, Boss Xu hurriedly left.
"Hmm, this coffee is good. No wonder so many people come to drink it!"
After Boss Xu left, Xu Lang did not leave immediately, but sat there and drank coffee.
Not long after, a henchman quickly walked up to Xu Lang and said, "Boss, Senior Inspector Liao Zhizong from Mong Kok is here. He says he wants to see you!"
"Let him in!"
Xu Lang put down his coffee and said.
"Yes!"
The younger brother acknowledged and left, and soon brought Liao Zhizong in from outside.
"Commander Liao, it's been a long time!"
Upon seeing Liao Zhizong, Xu Lang immediately waved to him.
Liao Zhizong walked over with a smile and plopped down opposite Xu Lang, jokingly saying, "Boss Xu, it was really hard to find you! I had to ask around to find out you were having coffee here, so I rushed over without stopping, just in case you, such a busy man, had already left!"
"Ha~"
Xu Lang smiled and said to the waiter next to him, "A cup of coffee, please."
"Yes!"
A short while later, a cup of coffee was placed in front of Liao Zhizong.
"Commander Liao, what can I do for you?"
Xu Lang smiled and looked at Liao Zhizong.
Liao Zhizong picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, nodded in satisfaction, and continued, "The investigation results for Lei Meizhen are in. She is indeed connected to the triad, and has now been dismissed from her position and dealt with accordingly!"
After saying that, Liao Zhizong took another sip of his coffee, then changed the subject, "Boss Xu, I'm here today to cooperate with you and make you my mole, my informant. If you have any information, you can provide it to me!"
"No problem, Commander Liao!"
Xu Lang readily agreed.
After all, being an informant is no big deal for someone of his rank. But if an ordinary underling were to become an informant, he would probably be held accountable by the triad.
He's now at the level of a top-tier official; who would dare to hold him accountable?
So being Liao Zhizong's informant is perfectly fine, just like Zhong Yixin did last time. It would benefit both him and Liao Zhizong!
"Then we'll make an agreement!"
Liao Zhizong finished his coffee in one gulp and turned to leave. At this moment, Xu Lang remembered something and immediately said to Liao Zhizong, "Officer Liao, I bought a building on Portland Street in Mong Kok. It has six floors in total, but I want to add two more floors. Could you please give the Urban Renewal Department a heads-up?"
"no problem!"
Liao Zhizong, who had stood up, casually agreed, and then asked, "Why do you want to buy a six-story building now?"
Xu Lang smiled and said, "I'm planning to build an entertainment center... But don't worry, Commander Liao, I don't touch shady businesses. I'm a businessman and entrepreneur, and I do legitimate business. I will definitely increase employment in Hong Kong and maintain social stability in the future!"
Hearing Xu Lang rambling on, Liao Zhizong lost interest in listening and walked straight out of the coffee shop.
As he walked, he said, "I'll let the Urban Construction Department know!"
"Thank you very much, Commander Liao!"
Xu Lang said with a smile.
After Liao Zhizong walked out of the Mong Kok Cafe, Xu Lang said to Hong Wentong, the second-in-command of the Snake Sect, who had been sitting next to him, "Register for Tianma Entertainment City as soon as possible!"
"Yes, boss!"
Hong Wentong, the second brother of the Spirit Snake, nodded.
Afterwards, Xu Lang got up and led a group of people back to the front of Building 36 on Bolan Street.
"what……"
Looking at the six-story building in front of him, Xu Lang smiled.
After a while, he said to Hong Wentong, the second brother of the Spirit Serpent, who was standing next to him, "Hurry up and register this business, and then arrange for people to go up and add two more floors as quickly as possible!"
He paused, then added, "The sixth floor is meaningless; you can only make a fortune on the eighth floor! As for the Urban Renewal Department, if Liao Zhizong's connections don't work, just bribe them. People on Hong Kong Island fall for that now!"
"Yes, boss!"
"The second brother of the Spirit Serpent, Hong Wentong, replied in a deep voice."
"Also... hurry up and finish the renovations, we need to open as soon as possible!"
Xu Lang reminded him again before leaving.
"Yes, boss!"
Hong Wentong, the second brother of the Spirit Snake, nodded.
……
More than a month later.
Xu Lang was swimming with A Run in the pool of his own seaside villa.
"Brother Tong~"
"Brother Tong~"
At this moment, Hong Wentong, the second brother of the Spirit Snake, walked in, still wearing a sharp suit.
Seeing that the eldest brother, Xu Lang, was swimming there, the second brother, Hong Wentong, stood aside and watched quietly for a while.
Not long after, Xu Lang came out of the pool. His subordinates handed him a towel, which he casually wiped himself down before sitting down on a nearby lounge chair.
"Ah Tong, come and sit down!"
"Yes, boss!"
Hong Wentong, the second brother of the Spirit Snake, walked over and sat down next to Xu Lang.
A short while later, Arun came over with an iced drink.
"Sister-in-law~"
Hong Wentong, the second brother of the Spirit Snake, greeted Arun.
"A-Tong~"
Arun nodded slightly, gave one bottle of beverage to Xu Lang, and then handed the other bottle to Hong Wentong, the second brother of the Spirit Snake.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"You're welcome~"
Arun sat down next to Xu Lang with a smile.
"Ah Tong, what's up?"
Xu Lang took a sip of his drink before asking the question slowly.
Hong Wentong, the second-in-command of the Spirit Snake Clan, immediately replied, "Boss, Tianma Entertainment City is all renovated and ready to open!"
"What Tianma Entertainment City?"
Hearing this, Arun interjected with a puzzled look. She had never known anything about business matters, so hearing this out of the blue was quite perplexing.
Xu Lang smiled and glanced at Arun, saying, "I recently started an entertainment center, and it's ready to open!"
Ah Run blinked and hugged Xu Lang's arm, saying, "Brother Lang, I want to go and take a look too!"
"no problem!"
Xu Lang readily agreed and turned to Hong Wentong, the second brother of the Spirit Serpent, saying, "Atong, go prepare the car. Let's go take a look together now!"
"Yes, boss!"
Ling She's second brother, Hong Wentong, got up and went to prepare the car.
Snapped!
After the second brother of the Spirit Serpent, Hong Wentong, left, Xu Lang casually slapped Arun's buttocks and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look! Let's change our clothes first!"
Arun pursed his lips, but his face was full of excitement.
Before long, Xu Lang's Mercedes-Benz van pulled up in front of his eight-story building on Portland Street.
