Chapter 492: You don't have much time left
"The richest man strikes again, spending 100 million to buy the most expensive mansion in China Overseas!"
"The old house worth 100 million, Yan's Garden changes hands today!"
"The most expensive mansion in Xia Country, the past and present of Yan Family Garden!"
On the second day after the transaction of Yan Family Garden, the news came out and immediately refreshed the focus of public opinion in the entire China Overseas. Although the gambling fight between Lu Yiming and Peng Dingguo was also interesting, in this day and age, what rich man spending money like water and spending 100 million to buy a luxury house can be more talked about and popular?
After buying Yan's Garden, Lu Yiming suddenly received a call from Chen Li, saying that she wanted to interview him again.
Before, Lu Yiming wanted to make money in a low-key manner and live a quiet life, but that hateful Hurun and Li Chaoren's family found ways to expose him to the public. Even if Lu Yiming wanted to keep a low profile, he can't do so now.
Lu Yiming thought it through. Although revealing his identity would lead to controversy, draw attention, and make his life restless, if he concealed his identity, people might make a fuss about it, smear him wantonly, and he might be suspected of having an illegal background and face scrutiny.
Okay, I won’t pretend anymore and I’ll be honest.
I am the richest man, so what?
So, after receiving Chen Li's call inviting him for an interview, Lu Yiming agreed without hesitation and directly invited Chen Li to the gate of Yan's Garden for an interview.
The Yan Family Garden had been in disrepair for many years, and the weeds were more than one meter tall. When Chen Li saw the scene, she couldn't even believe her eyes.
Lu Yiming spent 100 million to buy something like this?
Is the life of rich people so simple and unpretentious?
"Mr. Lu... Is this the Yan Family Garden that you spent 100 million to buy?"
Standing at the entrance of the old house, Chen Li still couldn't believe it.
Lu Yiming got what he wanted and smiled happily: "Yes , although it looks a little shabby now, but with a little tidying up, its grand appearance will be revealed."
Chen Li's topic naturally started with the Yan family garden in front of her.
"Mr. Lu, forgive me for being blunt, but you spent 100 million to buy such a mansion. Aren't you afraid that this matter will cause controversy?"
There is no doubt that this topic is somewhat sensitive.
However, Lu Yiming was well prepared and immediately avoided the main point by saying, "The historical heritage and cultural attributes of the old houses are there, and a price of 100 million is actually not expensive. Moreover, these old houses represent the past glory of China Overseas. I hope to buy these historical landmark buildings in the hope that they can be renovated and let them shine brightly again."
Lu Yiming is not a fool, and he knows that he should not show off his wealth openly, saying that the money is earned by me and it is my business how I spend it.
Although this is true, if you really say such things out loud, it shows that you have very low emotional intelligence.
So Lu Yiming had to change the concept and regard himself as the protector and inheritor of culture in this matter.
With the thick skin that Lu Yiming II has developed, he was not at all flustered in front of the camera and talked freely: "Beautiful things are always worth cherishing and remembering. Now I just have such conditions, so I try my best to do things that only I can do."
Lu Yiming's words sounded so lofty and glorious that Chen Li's thoughts were involuntarily drawn away by Lu Yiming.
The show was aired soon after the interview.
In the mansion, Wei Dong watched Lu Yiming talking on TV and became so angry that he almost smashed the TV.
"Damn it! This Lu Yiming, does he think everyone is a fool? He has raised the price of the old house several times, and now he has the nerve to call himself the protector of cultural buildings? If you have the ability, don't make this money!"
Chen Jinxia, who was sitting nearby, watched Wei Dong screaming and jumping in the living room, but she didn't rush to speak. After Wei Dong vented his anger, she said, "Okay, things have come to this point, calm down first. Although Yan's Garden was not acquired, the other old houses are also worth investing in. There is no need to hold on to this matter."
Wei Dong took a deep breath and sat back on the sofa.
After calming down, he himself felt very strange.
What's wrong with me recently? I used to be gentle and polite when I was in college, but now I have become impulsive and irritable?
Li Yiwen, who learned in Baiyun City that Lu Yiming had bought Yan's Garden, immediately took Zhang Jinlai to Zhonghai by plane.
At the airport, several people met, and Li Yiwen couldn't help but complain about Lu Yiming, saying, "You are still studying, but you are so restless. You have been making trouble recently and you never stop at all."
Facing Li Yiwen's complaints, Lu Yiming smiled and said confidently: "Life is all about struggle, and if I don't struggle, how can I stay as the richest man?"
Li Yiwen snorted and said, "Didn't you say before that we should be low-key?"
Lu Yiming spread his hands and said, "It's lonely at the top. Before I became the richest man, of course I had to keep a low profile to avoid becoming the focus of public opinion. But now that I'm the richest man, if I really fall from the top, how will outsiders frame me? Besides, I don't want to do that. They made such a big fuss. If I'm timid all day, they'll think I have a shady background."
How many people in this world can not care about their face?
Lu Yiming is now the richest man, so naturally he has never thought about falling down, so he must hold on to his position and completely widen the gap with the second place, so as to put an end to the unrealistic thoughts of some people.
Li Yiwen thought about it and it seemed to be true, so he smiled and said, "You really dare to think and do."
He really never thought that his cousin would one day become the richest man in Xia Country, and so quickly.
How long has it been?
Looking back to a year ago, when Lu Yiming tried to trick Qian Hongli into opening an Internet cafe, he had paid for the brand-name suit he was wearing.
Looking back now, although only one year has passed, it feels like a lifetime ago.
Zhang Jinlai seemed very excited when he saw Lu Yiming.
How long has it been?
Thinking back to the first time I met Lu Yiming, what was Lu Yiming like at that time?
And now, Lu Yiming has actually sat on the throne of the richest man in mainland China!
The way Zhang Jinlai looked at Lu Yiming was as if he was looking at the God of Wealth.
Turning stone into gold, I'm afraid, is just like this!
"Mr. Lu. According to your idea, the first phase of our Yiming Plaza project is already under construction and is expected to be officially put into use in the spring of next March."
Today's lean real estate is no longer what it used to be.
The project named after Lu Yiming has already started construction on the land he had previously auctioned.
In fact, it is an imitation of that Da, building a commercial, residential and entertainment complex.
After this model was proposed, it shocked Lean Real Estate and everyone felt that it had great potential.
With Lu Yiming's support, the first Yiming Plaza has started construction.
Lu Yiming said approvingly, "It looks like you've made good progress. Lao Zhang, you've worked hard during this period. But you still have to keep working hard. I still remember the bet of 20 billion market value in two years. You don't have much time left."
Zhang Jinlai said with a serious face, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I remember it too. I will definitely not let you down."
Li Yiwen couldn't wait to speak: "Okay, just do these things step by step, there won't be any big mistakes. Where is the house you spent 100 million to buy? Take me to see it quickly. Turtle, 100 million to buy a house, what kind of mansion is this?"
Nowadays, the most prosperous area in Zhonghai City only costs a few thousand yuan per square meter, and one hundred million yuan can buy a community. But Lu Yiming spent so much money, but only bought a house. Just thinking about it makes Li Yiwen feel excited.
Lu Yiming asked: "You have come from afar, don't you want to settle down in the hotel first?"
Li Yiwen said: "What the hell is going on? Of course, it's more important to go and see the luxury houses first."
Speaking of this 100 million mansion, Zhang Jinlai was not tired at all, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, I also want to go and see the mansion first, otherwise, I am afraid I will not be able to sleep tonight."
"Okay, let's go over and take a look first."
Several people got in the car, and Lu Yiming said to Zhao Tiezhu: "Let's go to Yan's Garden first."
"OK."
Soon after, everyone arrived at Yan Family Garden at No. 699 Yuyuan Road.
The English-style garden house is a three-story brick-and-wood structure. The building area is 1,570 square meters, and the garden area is nearly 5,000 square meters. The villa has a strong Nordic style, with fireplace chimneys, cobblestone walls, and red tile steep roofs. The overall style is simple and generous.
The rockeries, pavilions and nurseries are distributed in an orderly manner in the garden. In the vast camphor forest, there are two century-old towering trees.
At this time, the Yan Family Garden at No. 699 Yuyuan Road was surrounded by high walls and deep courtyards, and the two gates along the street were both closed with large iron gates. It was obvious that there were residents inside, and they were all difficult and troublesome people.
You should know that Yan Qingxiang died of illness in 1988. Since then, most of the descendants of the Yan family have immigrated overseas, so that the Yan Family Garden has been abandoned for many years, overgrown with weeds, and the buildings are dilapidated and in disrepair.
The main reason why Yan Detai was unwilling to come back here was because Yan's Garden had been confiscated and some so-called "nail households" had moved in.
These stubborn residents may not have any other abilities, but they are the best at making people feel disgusted.
Of the seven families living here, five have already received 100,000 yuan in "compensation" from Lu Yiming and left obediently.
After all, the house is not theirs and the property rights are not in their hands. They just moved in here a few decades ago.
Now that the original owner has sold the house and the new owner has taken over, why shouldn't they move?
You know, the Yan Family Garden had been returned to the Yan family long ago, but they were the ones who refused to leave.
However, there were two other families who, after learning that Lu Yiming was the richest man in mainland China, scoffed at the 100,000 yuan compensation and had no intention of kidnapping him at all.
In their opinion, Lu Yiming was willing to spend 100 million to buy this mansion, but was only willing to give them 100,000 yuan, which clearly showed that he looked down on them.
In order to get more money, the two families have long been in collusion with each other and have made up their minds that if Lu Yiming does not give them a satisfactory number, they will never move out.
Lu Yiming has sent people to urge them several times, but the temptation of money is too great, and the two families are stubborn and not swayed at all.
Although they are called two families, they are actually just two bachelors in their fifties. One is called Wu Xian and the other is called Zhao Jianhua. They are both from other places and usually make a living by doing odd jobs. They have a low level of education and only earn about 1,800 yuan a month.
One hundred thousand yuan is almost their income if they don’t eat or drink for ten years.
However, they wanted more.
That afternoon, Zhao Jianhua excitedly pushed open the door of his room and said to Wu Xian, who was lying in the small courtyard basking in the sun: "That Lu Yiming has brought people here again. Are we really not going to move? After all, this place has been bought by him."
Wu Xian cursed as if it was a matter of course: "He is the richest man in the country. He spent 100 million to buy a mansion, and he only wants to send us away for 100,000? I think he is dreaming! You are right if you listen to me. We are not going to leave. We have lived here for decades. Why can't this house be ours? Without 1 million, don't even think about asking me to move out!"
Zhao Jianhua said worriedly, "What if they report it to the police?"
Wu Xian said with disdain: "Just report to the police, what can they do to us? Can they throw us out? It's obviously his fault that he didn't pay enough money, how dare he report to the police? Close the door tightly, if you don't pay, don't even think about setting foot here."
The temptation of one million was too great. Although Zhao Jianhua was a little nervous, he firmly chose to stand with Wu Xian.
"good."
On the other side, an Audi stopped at the gate of Yan’s garden.
The mansion hidden in weeds over one meter high left Li Yiwen and Zhang Jinlai stunned.
Li Yiwen looked at Lu Yiming, the doubt in his eyes could not be concealed at all: "That's it? One hundred million?"
Zhang Jinlai said stubbornly, "It may be because it's too old. It's just some weeds. We can just ask a few people to come and clean it up. The overall outline of this house is still very good."
Li Yiwen said, "Then go in and take a look. Don't let your imagination run wild and you spend 100 million to buy a ruin."
He walked to the door and found it was not locked. He pushed it, but found that it was closed from the inside. He immediately looked at Lu Yiming: "Is there anyone inside?"
Lu Yiming said: "Yes."
Li Yiwen was shocked: "Is there anyone living here?"
Lu Yiming snorted coldly, "A few stubborn households were previously arranged by the government to stay here. I was too lazy to argue with them. I gave five families 100,000 yuan each and they moved out obediently. There were two other families who saw that I was rich and wanted to get more. It seemed that they were determined to fight me to the death."
Li Yiwen was furious when he heard this: "How can people be so shameless? Yan's Garden is not theirs. They were arranged to live here back then. Do you think they can be reasonable? Are you not satisfied after paying 100,000? In my opinion, they should not be given a penny. They still have to pay the rent for all these years!"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "You look more like a capitalist than I do now. Aren't there enough unreasonable people and things in this world?"
Li Yiwen said indignantly: "What should we do? We can't just let them come, right?"
"What should I do? Of course I have to go to court. I spent 100 million yuan in cash and also made up for the land transfer fee for 60 years. You took my money and you still don't want to do anything for me?"
Lu Yiming was not polite at all. He stepped forward, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Open the door!"
Inside the yard, Zhao Jianhua and Wu Xian heard Lu Yiming knocking on the door and shouting, but they said nothing.
Apart from anything else, they planned to stay here just for the one million.
If you don't want to be shameless, then be shameless. How much is face worth?
That's one million!
With so much money, you can buy a nice house in the city center.
That's the house that truly belongs to you!
Outside the house, Lu Yiming shouted a few times, but when no one answered, he said unhappily, "Oh, you're still pretending to be dead, huh? Fine."
Lu Yiming took out his cell phone, pulled out the phone book, found a number and dialed it.
"Hey, Judge Shen, the thing I told you about a few days ago... yeah, you can bring your people over here... I have all the documents in place, the house is mine, you can just enforce it... ok, see you later."
Just over ten minutes after the call, three police cars appeared at the gate of Yan's garden.
Nowadays, police officers in small places still work on 28-inch bicycles, but in developed cities like Zhonghai, all kinds of police cars are already available.
Officer Shen got out of the car, walked up to Lu Yiming, and greeted him, "Mr. Lu, nice to see you again. What's up? Are they still unwilling to move?"
Lu Yiming nodded slightly and said, "Yes. You know, I have already bought the house from Mr. Yan. All the procedures were handled legally and in accordance with the regulations. I have not owed a penny of the various fees. And I feel sorry for these families, so I gave them 100,000 yuan each. I have done my best, right?"
Officer Shen nodded repeatedly and said, "I know that Mr. Lu's actions are completely reasonable. In this case, we must take compulsory measures."
"Okay. Thank you for your help. I'll treat you guys to a drink after we're done."
Officer Shen smiled and said, "This is our job, and it's what we should do."
He took out a loud speaker from the car, switched it on, and shouted to the Yan Family Garden: "Listen, everyone inside, we are the enforcement department of the Zhonghai Intermediate People's Court. Now I formally notify you that you have two hours to move out of here. If you don't comply, this department will prosecute you in accordance with legal procedures for occupying other people's homes..."
In the Yan family garden, Wu Xian and Zhao Jianhua were both shocked after hearing the broadcast.
Zhao Jianhua said in panic, "Oh my god, the law enforcement department is here! What should we do?"
Wu Xian said angrily: "This Lu Yiming is so unreasonable. Isn't it just a little more money? He is so stingy. He is worth hundreds of millions, what is one million to him? He actually called the law enforcement department to come. He is so petty and colludes with officials and businessmen..."
Zhao Jianhua said helplessly: "Okay, stop scolding me and find a way to deal with it quickly."
