"Okay!" Zhang Junping finally said through gritted teeth.

George Fairborn is right. Properties close to Place de Gaulle are definitely very popular and have huge room for appreciation in the future.

The Chinese Art Company has no money, but he does.

Originally, he didn't want to use his own money to take care of family matters, but the situation was urgent and he couldn't care less.

At the same time, he also knew in his heart that this was a test set for him by George Fairborn. If he passed it, he would be able to cooperate better in the future.

If you can't even afford the property of a building, how can you talk about cooperation?

The promised value preservation and value-added recovery are also equal to zero.

Therefore, Zhang Junping could only use his own money to buy the building and worry about the rest.

After viewing the building, we agreed to sign the contract and handle the property transfer the next day.

After returning to the hotel, Zhang Junping summoned everyone to his room.

"Everyone has seen the store just now. It is an extraordinary time to open a gallery and art store.

But now there is a question that Mr. Lou should understand, please tell everyone about it!" Zhang Junping said straight to the point.

Lou Xinying is a French student and knows French, so he naturally understood the conversation he had just had with George Fairborn.

"The man named Stuart just told the manager that the store we just looked at, the entire building, is only for sale and not for rent." Lou Xinying told what she knew straightforwardly.

"Then this building is quite expensive, right?"

"Ah! Sell it? We can't afford it."

"Co-authoring is a joy for nothing."

"Yes! I'm so happy."

When everyone heard that it was only for sale but not for rent, they were immediately discouraged.

Everyone knows what is going on with the art company. If Zhang Junping hadn't obtained a loan of 20 million RMB, it would have been shut down long ago.

"Okay, let's see that each of you becomes dejected when encountering some difficulties.

Everyone has been in Paris for almost a week. As far as you know, whether this building is worth buying.

Don’t worry about money, just whether it’s worth it.” Zhang Junping cursed with a smile, and then asked for everyone’s opinions.

“It’s definitely worth it!”

"We are not just having fun these days. That place is close to Charles de Gaulle Square and is one of the most crowded places on the entire street."

“I also think it’s worth buying!”

Regardless of money, everyone agreed that it was worth buying.

"Well! It seems that everyone is unanimous and thinks it is worth buying.

Then we'll buy it.

As for the money issue, that’s easy to handle!

The company doesn’t have it, but I have it!”

"Manager, do you have so much money?"

"Manager, it costs a lot of money to buy a building, right?"

"It requires a lot of money! It is estimated to be more than 200 million French francs." Zhang Junping nodded.

"Manager, I'm not asking for your secrets! Do you have relatives abroad who are rich and have no children and inherited all their property to you?" Lou Xinying asked gossiping.

Although the reform and opening up has just begun, BJ has already seen relatives from abroad coming back to visit relatives.

Of course, most of the people who come back to visit relatives are from the Xiangjiang side.

It turns out that if any family has a foreign connection, they are extremely afraid, for fear that others will find out.

Things are different now, with the reform and opening up. Whenever relatives come back to visit, that guy will make the neighbors envious and sleepless if he leaks out.

Having relatives overseas has become an object of envy.

To put it bluntly, as long as you say you have overseas relatives, it will be easy to find a partner. You can just rummage through everything.

"What are you thinking about? My family is a poor farmer for eight generations.

All my money is legal income, earned from painting." Zhang Junping laughed and cursed, throwing a newspaper on the coffee table.

"Did you see the news above?

By the way, you are all blind, Mr. Lou, please read the news in the middle to everyone and copy it." Zhang Junping pointed at the newspaper and said with a smile.

Lou Xinying picked up the newspaper and saw the news report about Pingfang. She didn't read it, but looked at Zhang Junping in surprise: "Manager, you won't say that you are the author of Pingfang, right?"

"Mr. Lou, what do you mean? How about a plain copy?"

"Yes, please tell us quickly, what happened to Ping Fang?" Everyone urged.

But in my heart, I secretly made up my mind that after returning to China, I must learn foreign languages ​​well, otherwise I will become deaf or mute when I go abroad, which is really uncomfortable.

"What this says is that at the Sotheby's spring auction that just ended yesterday, a replica of Leonardo da Vinci's oil painting was sold for US$78 million, once again setting a transaction record for replicas."

There is no need to explain what imitation is. Everyone who is engaged in art work knows what imitation refers to.

In the past, BJ never lacked this. There were many such as Zhou imitation, Qian imitation, and Zheng imitation.

"Manager, are you just an ordinary person?"

"Probably, our manager's name is Zhang Junping, so naturally he is Ping Fang."

"No wonder the manager is so rich."

"Manager, could you please tell me how much money you have?"

"Manager, he must be the richest man in the country, right?"

Everyone started talking and looked at Zhang Junping with even more intense eyes.

"Okay, Sister Song, you draft a loan contract. The interest will be calculated according to bank interest. I will personally lend the money to the company and buy the building first."

"Manager, isn't this inappropriate?"

"Yes, manager, although you have money, how can you lend your own money to the public?"

"Manager, if you do this, you will suffer a huge loss." Song Heping, Zheng Dongmei, and Chen Lijun all objected.

"I will explain to the leader that the matter is urgent. We must buy this building, otherwise it will not be a matter of whether we can open a store, but it will directly affect our future cooperation with art dealers.

People will doubt our strength." Zhang Junping said decisively.

Everyone also knew that what Zhang Junping said was true. Seeing that Zhang Junping persisted, they stopped trying to persuade him.

With no objections, the next thing was easier to handle. Song Heping drafted the loan contract and Zhang Junping signed it.

Others, as witnesses, also signed and fingerprinted the loan contract.

Zhang Junping issued a check for US$60 million on the spot.

According to the exchange rate of French francs to US dollars, US$60 million is equivalent to 340 million French francs, which is enough to buy the three-story facade building, and there is still a lot of money left over as working capital.

With money, the rest becomes easy.

On the same day, Zhang Junping took Song Heping to Credit Suisse to open an account and transfer funds to the newly opened account.

The next day, we found a lawyer, reviewed the qualifications, and signed a house purchase contract.

Because the property transfer takes time, Zhang Junping did not pay the other party's purchase price. Instead, on the advice of his lawyer, the bank provided a guarantee. The bank would not lend money to the other party until the property was transferred.

After signing the contract, everyone faced another problem.

Their passports are for studying abroad, and they only have ten days, and they will leave the country tomorrow.

Zhang Junping had no choice but to find the embassy and explain the situation, and then the embassy would coordinate with the Exit-Entry Administration.

Because the Chinese art company represented by Zhang Junping and the others had indeed invested in Paris, special arrangements were made to convert Zhang Junping's passport into a work visa that day.

As for the others, Zhang Junping did not stay.

They don't understand French, so I can't help them if I stay.

Zhang Junping did not dare to stay with Lou Xinying, the only one who knew French.

What would happen if a man and a woman alone stayed in France? He was not afraid, but Lou Xinying was not. After returning, he was not allowed to get divorced?

The most important thing is, from the way Lou Xinying looks at him, as long as he stays, something will happen 100% of the time.

For safety reasons, Zhang Junping stayed alone.

The night before returning to China, Zhang Junping called everyone for a meeting.

"After you go back, you have two tasks.

The first task is to classify all our works of art according to their authors and compile files.

The file requirements include a file number, the name of the author, the year, month and day of creation, and photos of the work. The photos should be made in triplicate, one to be kept in the file, and the other two to follow the work and be used to sign the sales contract."

"I know, manager!" Chen Lijun and Niu Wensheng nodded in agreement.
Chapter completed!
