The next day, Lei Yunrong arranged for Zheng Hou, the vice president of Kowloon Development, to investigate and contact the former site of British American Tobacco.

Within two days, Zheng Hou reported the situation.

The situation is roughly the same as what Guo Desheng said, the location is indeed good, and the ghost guy on this land is indeed willing to sell it.

In this case, Lei Yunrong did not delay, and immediately arranged for a team to contact and negotiate with the owner of the land.

Since Gui Lao requires all cash payment, this scares away many people.

Although this piece of land is of high quality, everyone has just taken a breather. Not many companies can come up with such a large amount of cash, and even those who can afford it will not put all their money here.

Therefore, Lei Yunrong can be said to be the only buyer at present.

Therefore, Lei Yunrong also asked Zheng Hou to negotiate slowly and at least lower the price.

They talked about it on and off for nearly a month. Maybe Gui Lao couldn't find another buyer, or maybe Gui Lao was willing to sell. Finally, the two parties reached a deal at the end of May.

Lei Yunrong's Kowloon Development spent 88 million in cash to acquire the former British American Tobacco Company site, adding another high-quality commercial land to Kowloon Development.

This news was not widely publicized by Lei Yunrong, so ordinary people did not know much about it, but it still caused quite a shock in the real estate industry.

Especially Guo Desheng and Chen Detai, they witnessed with their own eyes that it took Lei Yunrong less than a month from hearing the news to completing the acquisition, which made them sigh that young people are sharp and courageous in doing things.

After spending the 88 million, Lei Yunrong only had 76 million in cash left.

Lei Yunrong no longer hesitated and directly used the money to start the reconstruction of the Chinese Bank Building.

Xiangjiang Land is already in the process of rebuilding the Landmark Plaza. Don't let others look splendid and wealthy at first sight, while your own building standing next to it looks like a shabby settlement.

And starting from this year, Hong Kong's financial policies will be further relaxed, and major multinational financial companies will gradually move their Asian headquarters to Hong Kong.

As a traditional banking district in Central, demand for a modern building is definitely in short supply, and the rental return is definitely the highest compared to Lui Yunrong's other buildings.

Lei Yunrong once again asked Mr. Hu to introduce him to a reliable designer to redesign a modern building. Originally, Lei Yunrong wanted to ask Mr. Hu to do the design, but he is currently busy with his Hehe Center, so

Just find someone else.

The China Bank Building occupies a small area, less than 20,000 square feet, so the reconstruction can only build a dozen floors at most. However, despite this, the China Bank Building after reconstruction will be the most valuable building under Kowloon Development.

In order not to fall behind the times, and to conform to the identity of the Hong Kong Central banking district, the rebuilt building must be more luxurious, so the reconstruction cost will not be low, but the specific amount will not be determined until the design drawings are released.

In the previous life, HSBC spent a total of 200 million Hong Kong dollars to rebuild the Chinese Bank, even when Li Chaoren was not making any money.

When Lei Yunrong came to rebuild this building, he must have arranged for Kowloon Construction to do it. Although they are all owned by Lei Yunrong's company, the funds consumed will not be much lower.

Therefore, Lei Yunrong's tens of millions are definitely not enough, and he will definitely have to raise more money for this project later.

But you don’t need to take it all out at once. This process will take at least a year or two, and then you can slowly inject funds. These tens of millions of funds are definitely enough as initial start-up capital.

After all these matters were arranged and handled, it was already June of 1975.

Lei Yunrong suddenly realized that he had not been with his father for quite some time. He was now alone. Although he had his own hobbies and friends, he most wanted his children to be with him more.

Lei Juehua only has a son, and Lei Yunrong was also busy non-stop during this period, dealing with the company's affairs and acquisitions. Lei Yunrong almost never stopped.

Lei Yunrong knew very well that Lei Juehua would definitely not disturb Lei Yunrong's career because of him, but if Lei Juehua didn't say anything, Lei Yunrong couldn't understand.

Lei Yunrong remembers clearly in his previous life that when he was young, Lei Yunrong and some friends would be chased away when they went to pick other people's fruits.

When he grew up, people always wanted children to pick fruits at his place. When Lei Yunrong passed by, he would pick a bag and send it to him, and he kept lamenting that we have all grown up.

Now that Lei Juehua is by his side, Lei Yunrong must spend more time with him in the future.

When he returned home, he found that Lei Juehua was not at home. Lei Yunrong saw that the sky was slowly getting dark, so he decided to cook and prepare a dinner himself.

Lei Yunrong can only cook some home-cooked dishes, and the taste is edible and not too strange.

With the help of the aunt at home, three dishes and one soup were quickly prepared. Lei Juehua also happened to come back at this time.

Seeing that he was dressed a bit formally, he must have something to do, but Lei Yunrong didn't ask any more questions and quickly invited him to come over for dinner.

Lei Ruide is a bit of an old-school person. He just eats when he eats and doesn't know how to talk about things.

After dinner with Lei Juehua, Lei Yunrong made a pot of tea and drank tea and chatted with Lei Juehua.

Lei Yunrong originally wanted to find a topic, but Lei Juehua was the first to speak:

"Ah Rong, I have never cared about your personal problems. Do you have a girlfriend now?"

"No, Dad, why are you suddenly concerned about this matter and so anxious to have a grandson?"

"What father doesn't want to be a grandfather, so you have to pay close attention to this matter. You are the only one in our lineage. It is your obligation to spread the branches and leaves."

"Although I got married relatively late, your grandfather had three grandchildren to play with when he retired. But now I don't even see the hope of you getting married."

"So you have to be careful about this matter. Do you have a girl you like?"

Lei Yunrong has a big head. It seems that no matter what kind of family he is in, parents urging marriage is a hurdle that can never be avoided.

Now that I am busy making money, I have no time to talk about love and love. This will only affect the speed of making money.

But you definitely can’t reply like this,

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely find a girlfriend as soon as possible after I finish this work and give birth to a few more children for the Lei family."

"It's good that you are interested. I also had tea and chatted with an old friend today. He happens to have a daughter about the same age as you. She just graduated from college. Moreover, my old friend is also very satisfied with you. It just so happens that in a few days

It's his seventieth birthday, you come with me."

Now Lei Yunrong came to his senses. The purpose of what Lei Juehua said just now was this sentence. It turned out that he wanted to go on a blind date!

Fortunately, he had laid so much groundwork before, which made Lei Yunrong feel a little guilty.

Lei Yunrong doesn't object to the blind date, but he is seventy years old and has a daughter in her early twenties?

"Dad, he is seventy years old and has a twenty-year-old daughter? She can't be his granddaughter, right?"

"She is his daughter. This is his youngest daughter. She can be considered a daughter of old age. If you hadn't performed well in the past two years, people would still look down on you."

"Who has such high expectations?"
