Xiao Ran returned to Hong Kong quietly. No one knew that he had left at the beginning of the summer battle with Haile. Except for a few senior executives of Phantom, not even Lin Qingxia knew where he went.
Back in Hong Kong, Xiao Ran still handled business as if nothing had happened. Sometimes he went to parties held by celebrities, and sometimes he went to certain banquets, which seemed extremely relaxed. Two days later, there was an auction that Xiao Ran needed to go to in person.
Got it.
Lin Qingxia did not accompany him this time, but Tang Yan accompanied Xiao Ran. As the manager of the investment department, Tang Yan this time tried to win a piece of land that was expected to double in five years. It was Hong Kong
A piece of land in Daobei District is not particularly large in area and has a base price of only 300 million. It is Phantom's largest real estate investment this year.
According to the calculations of the Investment Department, it was agreed that the land could be acquired as long as the price did not exceed 500 million, because the land was not really popular. The base price of the detached house that Xiao Ran wanted to acquire was 35 million, with a maximum of 7
It can be taken down for ten million.
However, Xiao Ran was also very interested in this independent house. In his memory, Li Zekai bought one for 120 million, demolished it and rebuilt it with redwood. Eight years later, it was worth more than 500 million.
It is said that it was the most expensive mansion in Hong Kong at that time.
In fact, Xiao Ran currently has quite a few properties under his name. He has two villas worth more than 20 million, and he also controls a lot of stocks in two potential stocks, worth about 100 million. If you add Microsoft's 100
Fifteen points, that's quite impressive.
After selling the several plots of land we shot earlier, we finally got the detached house. According to the introduction, this detached house, including the garden and swimming pool, has a total area of more than 40,000 square feet. Of course, it is not as big as the detached house No. 12.
It's big, so it's pretty good.
After the auctioneer called out the land price of 35 million, others called out a few more bids, and when it reached 40 million, Xiao Ran only added 5 million. Obviously, this was not enough to scare away the others.
Finally, a familiar voice shouted: "Fifty million..."
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways, but it was Zheng Jiachun. He was stunned again, and then he remembered Zheng Jiachun's words that day, and couldn't help but smile. It turned out that Zheng Jiachun was referring to this independent house, not the piece of land that the company wanted to invest in.
land.
Taking advantage of others' hesitation, Xiao Ran smiled at Zheng Jiachun: "Sixty million!"
Zheng Jiachun was startled for a moment, walked over to Xiao Ran, and whispered bitterly: "Mr. Xiao, how about leaving a way out? Who can bear the price you raise like this!"
Xiao Ran smiled mysteriously. He didn't mean to play with Zheng Jiachun again, but he promised Lin Qingxia to take over the mansion. Naturally, he had to try his best to fulfill his promise: "If you can guess my lowest price, then I will let it go. Otherwise, we both want it."
, I’m afraid it will hurt both parties. Let me tell you one thing, I want to come to this house to get married."
Zheng Jiachun was startled again, and looked at Xiao Ran blankly. After confirming that Xiao Ran was not joking, he smiled. He slapped Xiao Ran hard on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Xiao Ran, who is not a womanizer, secretly hides his beauty in the golden house.
, Amazing. I won’t argue with you, just treat it as a wedding gift to you!”
Xiao Ran smiled. Zheng Jiachun was famous for his loyalty in the circle, and he liked such a character. He nodded to him to express his gratitude. After that, no one could compete with Xiao Ran, and he successfully got it for 60 million.
However, this was Xiao Ran's first time to experience the feeling of bidding. This feeling of tens of millions and hundreds of millions with just one mouth was really great. It was easy for people to get intoxicated with the pleasure of squandering wealth. He couldn't blame him for seeing Tang Yan's expression.
It's so exciting to know that when you have hundreds of millions of money in hand, it's really no different from the feeling of controlling people's life and death.
Within a few days, some gossipy news about the Miss Hong Kong competition popped up in the newspapers. Originally, Xiao Ran didn't want to care about these things. Anyway, it was inseparable from plastic surgery, family background, etc. Every year, he was forced to leave because of such news.
Few contestants.
But this time the news is very important. It is about Li Jiaxin. The news said that the popular Li Jiaxin was being kept by Hong Kong tycoon Liu Yixiong. It was also said that someone among them was manipulating the final result in secret, saying that No. 7 would win.
Strictly speaking, Xiao Ran didn't really believe the second gossip. After all, the Miss Hong Kong contest was not some unknown beauty pageant. It was something that everyone in Hong Kong was paying attention to. Anyone who expected it and who didn't expected it could see through it at a glance.
But for the first gossip, Xiao Ran believed at least 70% of it, because in his impression, this incident did happen. However, Guan Meiren has not yet become the prey of Liu Yixiong, who is known as the celebrity killer.
It's just that Liu Yixiong doesn't seem to know that Li Jiaxin is a member of the Phantom, otherwise he might not be so arrogant. This day is the costume competition. Xiao Ran, Yang Guang and Monkey all appeared in the dressing room. They saw the two of them looking at the beauties coming and going, one by one.
Everyone's eyes were straight, and Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing: "It's time for you to meet a girlfriend. The salary given to you is so high, don't say that the expenses are not enough!"
"No time!" Monkey wanted to drool all over to show how curious he was about these beauties: "How can I have so much time if I stay with you every day?"
"This is very simple!" Xiao Ran couldn't help but shook his head. This is not an unsolvable problem: "You can usually take turns to change shifts, so you have more time. I think no one in Hong Kong dares to kill me now, right?
, now is different from before!”
Sunshine and Monkey only thought about it briefly, and then happily agreed. Monkey even wanted to shout, "Here comes beauty." Looking at the funny looks of the two, Xiao Ran laughed, looked around, and asked the staff,
Only then did I realize that Li Jiaxin now actually uses a dressing room alone.
Frowning, Xiao Ran knocked on the door and entered the room. Fortunately, Li Jiaxin had just put on her swimsuit, so nothing embarrassing happened. When Li Jiaxin saw Xiao Ran, she smiled happily and said hello, showing
Looking at his slender figure and seeing that Xiao Ran didn't show much performance, he sat down depressedly.
"Axin, is there someone named Liu Yixiong who is very close to you recently?" Xiao Ran glanced at Li Jiaxin's exposed skin. It was so pink that people wanted to go up and take a bite. That kind of youthful and calm beauty was really disappointing.
People dare not ignore it.
Li Jiaxin was startled and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yes, Liu Yixiong seems to want to pursue me!"
Xiao Ran sighed, why do these celebrities like to get something for nothing? Don't they earn enough money to spend? If nothing else, Fa Ge's current net worth has risen to three million. For ordinary people, three million is enough.
I bought a villa. Isn’t this enough?
Xiao Ran does have the ability to prevent others from attacking people in the company, but if the person involved is willing, then he can't get involved. Thinking of this, he could only sigh and said seriously: "Axin, do you think Liu Yixiong wants to
Pursuing you? He just wants to play with you. If you are willing to sell yourself for a little benefit, I have nothing to say."
"Mr. Xiao, I know what you mean!" Li Jiaxin hesitated. Originally, she thought she had a chance with Xiao Ran, but Xiao Ran was like a piece of wood and couldn't see her beauty at all. At this time, Liu Yixiong came to her door.
, so she couldn’t blame her for thinking about it: “However, I don’t think he is that kind of person!”
Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile bitterly. This is totally different. He was simply unwilling to let go of this opportunity. However, according to Guan Xin's investigation, Liu Yixiong seemed to have some background in the underworld. As for which association he was related to, he couldn't remember.
.
There are not just one or two people who have made hundreds of millions of dollars through acting. As long as they don’t live a squandered life, the money earned by becoming a star will be enough to spend a lifetime. It is really difficult for Xiao Ran to understand the thoughts of these people, but standing in front of him
From my standpoint, I still hope that I can try my best to save this Li Jiaxin's fate.
"Let's do this. When he comes, I'll ask him if he really wants to be with you." Xiao Ran said lightly, but his expression became stern: "If not, then I hope you don't go with him."
Together. If you want to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, it's not Liu Yixiong who relies on it, but your own strength and luck."
Li Jiaxin fell silent. In fact, sometimes it is difficult for women to make the decision. It is not that she is greedy for money, but that Liu Yixiong gave her such an opportunity to get something for nothing, as well as the oppression from her status. Thinking of this, Li Jiaxin suddenly thought of her boss.
Isn't it amazing? He is much richer than Liu Yixiong. It shouldn't be difficult to get rid of this fly.
Is it difficult or not? You will know soon! The door suddenly opened, and a young man holding flowers came in. He was at least four or five years older than Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran stared at this guy with a calm expression, and Liu Yixiong closed the door and turned his head.
When I took a look, I was surprised to see a man present.
After taking a closer look, he immediately recognized it. It was Xiao Ran from Phantom Company! Thinking of this, he thought that Xiao Ran was also here to pay attention to Li Jiaxin, and immediately walked up with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, I didn't expect that you are also interested in Axin."
…”
Liu Yixiong could not speak anymore because he found that Xiao Ran's eyes were staring at him, and there were some bad signals in his eyes. Thinking of Xiao Ran's appeal in the world, he trembled slightly and quickly changed his tone: "
Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, I think I entered the wrong room!"
"You entered correctly..." Seeing Liu Yixiong turning around to escape, Xiao Ran calmly turned his gaze to Li Jiaxin's face, and immediately felt relieved when he saw the perseverance on her face.
Liu Yixiong complained endlessly and turned around to face Xiao Ran: "Mr. Xiao, do you have any advice?"
"Do you really want to pursue Ah Xin, or are you just doing it for fun?" Although Xiao Ran's tone was smiling, the unkindness in his tone was quite obvious: "Tell me!"
"This...of course it's just for fun!" Liu Yixiong glanced at Li Jiaxin, who was looking pale with anger, and said awkwardly: "Actually, I haven't touched her, Mr. Xiao, I'll just leave it to you!
"
"Which club is protecting you?" Xiao Ran suddenly took two steps forward, forcing Liu Yixiong to take a few steps back involuntarily. There was a sinister tone in his faint smile: "Don't you know my rules?
?Axin belongs to Phantom, do you want to touch her?"
Liu Yixiong was shocked. He didn't know that Li Jiaxin had signed a contract with Phantom. He glared at Li Jiaxin with hatred. Then he looked at Xiao Ran flatteringly and said: "Mr. Xiao, I really don't know, forgive me for being ignorant.
, it will definitely not happen again next time!”
"Go ahead!" Xiao Ran ignored Liu Yixiong. With this person's ability, he couldn't threaten him at all. When Liu Yixiong came to the door, Xiao Ran suddenly stopped him, scaring him so much that beads of sweat rolled down his forehead: "
People who are not allowed to touch Phantom anymore, remember, no one is allowed to violate my rules!"
Liu Yixiong repeatedly promised that he would never do it again, and then he rushed out of the room. As for the bouquet of flowers, he didn't know where he had thrown it. What could he use to fight against Xiao Ran and the underworld? Xiao Ran was now the godfather of the underworld.
In terms of prestige, let alone him, even super rich people like Li Chaoren may not have much higher prestige than Xiao Ran. In terms of financial resources, just kidding, who in Hong Kong doesn’t know that Phantom is one of the most promising companies in Hong Kong.
Li Jiaxin stared at Xiao Ran's back with her mouth open. She always thought that Xiao Ran was just rich. But she never expected that Liu Yixiong, who also had 670 million, would be scared away by Xiao Ran with just a few words. This was simply ridiculous.
, especially the last sentence "No one is allowed to violate my rules" is even more domineering and powerful. It is basically something only people with real power dare to say.
Xiao Ran glanced at the door, then turned to look at Li Jiaxin, and said kindly: "Now you know, it's not impossible to get to know rich people, but you must keep a distance. People like you are easy to be fooled by their appearance.
Playing around, do you understand?"
"Mr. Xiao, don't worry, this will never happen again!" At that moment, Li Jiaxin almost worshiped Xiao Ran as an idol.
Xiao Ran smiled, and like the spring breeze, it penetrated into his heart, and stretched out his hand to help Li Jiaxin: "This is great. After you become a first-line actor, your income will naturally increase. In my company, I don't interfere in everyone's private life, but
I still hope that everyone can clean themselves and take care of themselves. This is a good way to take care of yourself."
As they were talking, the door suddenly opened, and a head popped in to take a look. As if he recognized Xiao Ran, he was startled for a moment before shouting: "Li Jiaxin, have you put on your makeup? It's time to go on stage!"
