Chapter 1975: Exchange Land for People

"You have a showdown, but F~B~I can't possibly agree~" Yang Cheng said firmly.

Li Quanfu sighed, "Yeah, they can't agree~"

"Is that why you faked your own death? And you pretended to be Sherlock to avoid our sight?" Yang Cheng asked again.

"That's right~"

"By the way, where is the real detective Sherlock?"

"Dead~"

"died?"

"Yes~ I found out that he didn't think much about it after investigating me, so he let the F~B~I people deal with it. But I didn't know until afterwards that he was someone from Yuanshan~"

After a pause, he said helplessly, "I had no choice but to use Sherlock's identity to contact your grandfather. Later, I used this identity to meet him several times, but your grandfather didn't notice."

Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Your disguise skills are too high. Not to mention my grandpa, even the professionals under me may not be able to detect it. It's just good luck this time~"

He hesitated and said, "Then why did you return to New York this time? Are you still pretending to be Sherlock? Aren't you afraid of being discovered? After all, Sherlock was killed by F~B~I."

“The fact that I faked my death was not hidden from them, but they also realized that I was determined to quit, so after discussing it, we decided to have an in-person interview in New York.

Just in time, I heard that an old friend who used to work at ABC was released. I wanted to see him and say sorry to him~"

Yang Cheng feels that Li Quanfu is a bit naive. You have tricked people for most of your life. Can you make up for it by saying sorry?

But Yang Cheng can only listen to this kind of thing, but will not intervene.

After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Then do you want to meet my grandpa?"

Li Quanfu remained silent. After a few minutes, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, let him think I'm dead. That's fine. As long as you don't tell anyone, I guarantee he won't know~"

Yang Cheng nodded quickly, "Okay, I will also ensure that the information is not leaked~"

After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave, but Li Quanfu stopped him and said, "Wait, can you do me a favor?"

Yang Cheng frowned slightly,

I don’t really want to help, but after all, I’m my grandfather’s friend, so it’s unreasonable not to help, “Please tell me first~”

"My friend at ABC was released on medical parole. Can you help him operate it and completely exempt him from his future sentence?"

Yang Cheng asked smoothly, "How many years does he have left?"

"15 years~"

Yang Cheng glared, "Don't be kidding, 15 years can't be avoided by looking for connections. If there are one or two years left, there is still room for maneuver."

As soon as he finished speaking, his face suddenly turned gloomy, "Wait a minute, you didn't expose yourself to me on purpose just to ask for my help, right? Those stories you told before were just for the preparation of this request?"

A look of relief flashed through Li Quanfu's eyes, and then he nodded frankly, "Yes, but what I said is true, there is no need for me to lie to you~"

Yang Cheng still had a sullen face, "I don't like the feeling of being plotted~"

"What a coincidence, I like to trick people the most, but don't worry, kid, you are the grandson of Yuanshan. I can't trick anyone. You helped me handle this matter, it will be good for you~"

Yang Cheng laughed angrily, "Tell me, what's in it for me?"

"Do you know why my friend was released on medical parole?"

"Didn't he find someone to help him do it? Although he is not sick at all~"

"No, no, I mean, do you really believe that F~B~I will let him go?" Li Quanfu asked.

Yang Cheng couldn't guess, "Just say it directly, don't be shy~"

Li Quanfu smiled and said, "Son, I told you that you can't trick anyone from Yuanshan's grandson. Back then, ABC had frequent infighting, and everyone's attention was focused on the struggle for power. Only my friend was more shrewd. Realizing that the situation was not good, we made preparations in advance.

Although ABC did not achieve the ultimate goal back then, it has accumulated a lot of assets underground. Coupled with the operation and accumulation over the past few decades, it now has several billions~"

Yang Cheng's eyes lit up. No wonder Li Quanfu said it was good for him. What he meant was that if he could help this person operate it, would it mean that he could get a share of these billions of dollars in assets? even. . .

Looking at his greedy eyes, Li Quanfu laughed out loud again, "Sure enough, the son of a dragon and a phoenix and a mouse can dig holes. Your expression is exactly the same as your grandfather's back then. I like it..."

Yang Cheng changed his gloomy face and said flatteringly, "Well, why don't you tell me first what assets you have? I can figure out how much power you can use."

Li Quanfu didn't mean to hide it, and said thoughtfully, "I don't know the details, but I personally helped this friend and transferred several buildings to the names of the people he designated."

How many buildings? Damn, not to mention Manhattan, the housing prices in New York have increased several times in recent decades. It seems that Li Quanfu didn't lie to himself. Maybe his friend really has billions of assets in his hands, which is probably the capital saved by ABC back then. .

I just don’t know whether the building in the hands of Li Quanfu’s friend is an office building or a residential building. The former and the latter are in completely different situations at this time.

The residential market is generally bullish, but contrary to the boom in New York's residential real estate market, the performance of the New York office market is quite bleak.

As we all know, the office building yields in Hong Kong and New York rank at the bottom among major cities in the world. The yields of Grade A office buildings in the central business districts of these two cities after deducting rent reduction factors are only 2.85% and 3.29% respectively. This is a A very low rate of return, compared to the financing cost of the project, which may result in a loss for the project.

Fewer and fewer people are not optimistic about the rate of return of office buildings, resulting in fewer and fewer transactions, so prices cannot rise. The main reason is that office buildings are supported by rental income, so once the occupancy rate is not high, it will lead to a decline in the rate of return of office buildings. Affected.

As more and more investors have both immigration needs and settlement needs, they are more concerned about building a stable future for their families when investing in real estate. Therefore, the market demand for residential properties for sale is even tighter.

But no matter how you look at it, it is still a property building. If it is in a core location, it will cost at least several hundred million US dollars, or even more than one billion US dollars.

However, he may be overthinking, Li Quanfu said, "These properties are all located in Queens, but I don't recommend that you ask for the property rights of these buildings. They are complicated and difficult to sell."

"That means he has something more valuable?"

"At that time, ABC and the Gambino family fought fiercely and grabbed a lot of land. One of them, near the current Manhattan Cruise Terminal, has always been considered undeveloped."

Yang Cheng was overjoyed, "You mean, this piece of land is in the hands of your friend?"

"Yes, he shouldn't be able to develop it now. You just need to give him a satisfactory figure. There will be many problems in transferring the land to you. After all, he will need money after he comes out."

"Wait a minute, you said this land was snatched from the Gambino family, so there won't be any problems with the ownership?"

"Don't worry. After we snatched it, I handled the entire operation process by myself. It is reasonable and legal, and there will be no problems. Besides, although the Gambino family still controls a small part of the terminal, it is not worth it compared to the previous energy. Mention it."

"That's good~ That's good, when will you let me meet your friend?"

"Ha~ You little money addict, don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you!"

"OK, I believe you, but it's not that easy to handle your friend's coming out. It takes time. You have to understand this. I can't just let it go~"

"Of course, I understand. Just go ahead and tell me if you have any news. I believe your people can find me~"

Yang Cheng was speechless, "Can't you leave a fixed contact information? It's very troublesome to look for it every time~"

"Okay, I'll check with your people later, but don't come to me if you have nothing to do."

Yang Cheng waved his hand unhappily, this old man is really troublesome.

. . .

After returning to New York, Yang Cheng's daily life included endless work and countless party invitations.

Most of them can be extended, but some invitations are really hard to refuse.

For example, the invitation letter Liu Junyu thrust into him before his departure was the resignation dinner for HBO TV network CEO Richard Plepler. It was also a welcome ceremony for him to join CW TV. As the boss behind CW TV, Yang Cheng must give him this face.

Eddie also called Yang Cheng several times, asking him to attend tonight. He was the one who urged Richard Plepler to join. In fact, he did a good job. Yang Cheng originally thought that Richard Plepler would join. Leppler would choose to rest for a while before returning. I didn't expect him to be able to connect seamlessly.

Moreover, holding a resignation dinner with great fanfare may sound like a slap in the face to outsiders.

But Yang Cheng didn't care, since he didn't have a non-compete agreement anyway.

Eddie also contributed to today's dinner. He directly booked the Metropolitan Museum and invited many high-level executives in the entertainment industry and big stars to come and support it.

In order to increase the momentum, Yang Cheng, the big boss, was also asked to attend in person, which was enough to give the other party face.

When Yang Cheng arrived at the scene, the already dark night sky was illuminated by flashes as bright as day. The long red carpet in front of the main entrance was spread all the way to the street. Female celebrities and male celebrities in suits and leather shoes were vying to find each other. The camera shows the most handsome and beautiful side of yourself.

Yang Cheng didn't mean to make the finale, he had to be late for a while in order to deal with Li Quanfu's matter.

So when he walked onto the red carpet, the reporters had already started to pack away their cameras. Some of them were so quick that they removed the lenses and put them in their bags.

Fortunately, Yang Cheng is not a celebrity, so he said very considerately, "No need to film me, there is no news about me~"

These reporters who have been living in New York all year round are still very familiar with Yang Cheng's face and understand his personality. Everyone laughed when they heard his words, but they still have to take pictures. Although Yang Cheng is not He is a celebrity, but he is also a super-rich person with a high reporting rate. Such a person deserves space.
