Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier
Chapter 397 - 206: Cofco Seaview One 2"This is the flight attendant I just hired. My jet is here. In a couple of days, I’ll take you back to Chengdu to have some fun."
"I still have work to do. With all your ’sisters’ in Chengdu, are you really afraid you’ll have no one to keep you company?"
Qu Man was overjoyed to see Qi Sheng.
Although her work kept them in different cities, the allowance Qi Sheng gave her was more than enough to fly business class every day.
But that wouldn’t look good, and skipping work so often would surely attract gossip.
"Hello, Miss Qu. I’m Qin Qingyi."
Not daring to be disrespectful, Qin Qingyi quickly extended her hand to Qu Man.
"Hello."
Qu Man smiled back and turned to wink at Qi Sheng.
Qi Sheng just smiled and shook his head, then beckoned the lobby manager over.
"Get her a standard room."
"Of course, Chairman Qi."
The lobby manager smiled and gestured for Qin Qingyi to follow.
"Ms. Qin, this way please."
"Okay, thank you."
Qin Qingyi nodded quickly and said to Qi Sheng, "Boss, I’ll head over now. Just let me know whenever you’ve finalized your schedule."
"Alright. I’ll be here for a few days. Go ahead and finalize the resignation paperwork from your old job first."
Having come all this way, Qi Sheng wasn’t about to rush back so soon.
Previously, he’d been short on cash and hadn’t set Qu Man up with a house and a car.
He had even given Wu Qingqing and Wu Chuchu a car budget of three million.
He would be even more generous with Qu Man.
He had two goals for this trip.
First, to try out his new Bombardier.
And second, to sort out a house and car for Qu Man.
It was a bit cliché, but no woman could resist the allure of a house and a car.
Especially in a city like Shanghai.
With property prices in the hundreds of thousands, a regular person could work their whole life and not even save enough for a bathroom.
Qi Sheng led Qu Man out of the hotel.
They rode in an extended Phantom to Cofco Seaview One, a top-tier luxury residential complex on the Bund.
In Shanghai, a city filled with mansions, whether one was a top-tier tycoon or a new arrival just starting their career, everyone shared a common dream: to make a home on the banks of the Huangpu River.
The difference, however, was that the tycoons had a chance to realize that dream.
Ordinary people could only fantasize about owning a river-view mansion worth over a hundred million in their dreams.
...
At the entrance of the Cofco Seaview One residential complex, the staff inside the security booth were all young men in their twenties or thirties.
They wore crisp white shirts, suit pants, and white gloves, presenting an impressive and professional appearance.
After all, this was one of only two such premier river-view properties in Shanghai.
And the residents were all tycoons with net worths exceeding a hundred million.
The real estate agent, Huang Zhaoqi, who they had contacted beforehand, was already waiting at the entrance.
Seeing the extended Phantom, he quickly jogged over.
Qi Sheng lowered the car window, smiled, and nodded at Huang Zhaoqi.
"Hop in. Did you clear it with property management?"
"Yes, sir. You can have your driver head straight into the underground garage. There are temporary parking spots available."
Not wanting to waste any time, Huang Zhaoqi quickly pulled open the heavy front passenger door.
He perched on the edge of the seat, turning to face the back.
The moment he saw Qu Man, Huang Zhaoqi was stunned.
He felt he now had a clear idea of what a real goddess looked like.
Fortunately, he retained enough sense to quickly turn his head back toward Qi Sheng.
He was afraid he wouldn’t be able to resist another glance at the goddess.
’The goddess was beautiful, but she couldn’t make him any money.’
’Serving Qi Sheng well was what mattered most.’
Normally, viewing a top-tier luxury property like Cofco Seaview One required verification of assets.
But Qi Sheng was riding in an extended Phantom. What further proof of assets was needed?
Huang Zhaoqi began to enthusiastically describe the complex, showcasing his professionalism as a luxury real estate agent.
"Mr. Qi, Cofco Seaview One is just 100 meters from the Huangpu River as the crow flies. The complex consists of four ultra-high-rise towers."
"The Tianyue Tower, which you’re here to see, is the building closest to the Huangpu River. It offers a prime, completely unobstructed, front-row view of the river."
"Tianyue Tower is divided into two sections, with a three-elevators-to-one-apartment layout and a standard ceiling height of 3.6 meters."
"In all of Lujiazui, there are only three residential buildings that are truly prime riverfront properties."
"Namely, Buildings A and D of Tangchen Yipin, and the Tianyue Tower here at Cofco Seaview One."
"Tianyue Tower first went on sale in 2012, with the price at the time reaching 150,000 per square meter. Today, the price per square meter is no less than 200,000."
Qu Man was, of course, very familiar with the renowned name of Cofco Seaview One.
A single unit here easily cost over a hundred million.
It was truly a top-tier luxury property, completely unattainable for the average person.
Even an ordinary hundred-millionaire wasn’t qualified to own property here.
You needed assets starting at a billion, at the very least, just to be considered.
"Mr. Qi, the listings we’re about to see are all large, single-floor apartments, around 390 square meters, with a four-bedroom-plus-den layout."
"They include separate maid’s quarters, and the master bedroom features dual walk-in closets."
When they reached the 23rd floor, Huang Zhaoqi handed them each a pair of shoe covers.
Qi Sheng and Qu Man put them on and followed Huang Zhaoqi on a tour of the apartment.
It was a five-bedroom, four-bathroom apartment with a living and dining room.
Just a quick tour of the place took nearly half an hour.
"Like it?"
Qi Sheng put his arm around Qu Man and asked with a smile.
"You’re going to buy it for me?"
Qu Man froze, finding it hard to believe.
"Of course. I promised you a house and a car, didn’t I? We’ll deal with the car later. Let’s get the house sorted out first."
Under Huang Zhaoqi’s envious gaze, Qi Sheng kissed Qu Man’s alluring red lips.
"Mmph... but it’s so expensive!" Qu Man murmured, her voice sweet and soft.
"Don’t worry about the price. As long as you like it, I’ll buy it for you, even if it’s the penthouse duplex."
Qi Sheng could afford to be this extravagant, all thanks to those "capitalist bros" who’d showered him with virtual rockets.
"You rarely come to Shanghai. I’d be scared to live in a duplex by myself."
Seeing Qi Sheng’s resolve, Qu Man began to re-examine the large, single-floor luxury apartment in earnest.
After all, this was going to be her and Qi Sheng’s new home.
"I think the decor in this one is a bit dated. How about we look at some others?"
Qu Man pointed out a few minor flaws, clearly already settling into her role as the lady of the house.
"Whatever you say. Let’s check the other floors."
Qi Sheng naturally had no objections and took Qu Man to see several more units.
Finally, a unit on the 26th floor had Qu Man nodding in satisfaction.
"Darling, I think this one is great. It only has the basic fixtures."
"The owner probably bought it as an investment for their portfolio. We can furnish it and move right in."
Qu Man hadn’t been impressed by the previous owners’ taste in decor.
This unit, with only its core fixtures intact, would give her a blank canvas to work with.
"This is the one, then."
Qi Sheng looked at Huang Zhaoqi and beckoned with a smile.
"Mr. Qi."
Huang Zhaoqi had been standing at a distance to give them space to talk.
"What’s the owner’s asking price for this one?"
Qi Sheng got straight to the point.
"Since this unit isn’t furnished, the owner’s asking price is relatively low. It’s 230,000 per square meter. With a floor area of 391.1 square meters, the total price is 90 million."
Huang Zhaoqi’s voice trembled slightly as he stated the price.
It was true he was a luxury property agent, but he had never personally handled a deal for a property worth over fifty million.
"My target price is 200,000 per square meter. Including two parking spaces, I can offer 80 million."
Qi Sheng wasn’t lowballing him too hard; the property still had potential to appreciate in value.
If the owner held onto it for a few more years, it wasn’t impossible that it could sell for over 250,000 per square meter.
But given the chance to cash out, who would be foolish enough to hold onto an illiquid asset they could only look at?
Unsurprisingly, Huang Zhaoqi returned, flushed with excitement, after calling the owner.
"Mr. Qi, the owner has agreed to your offer! What do you say we head back to our office for now? It will take some time for the owner to arrive."
"Alright."
Qi Sheng nodded and walked out of the apartment with his arm around Qu Man.
The next time they entered, it would be as the master and mistress of the house.
Following behind them, Huang Zhaoqi watched Qi Sheng with a look of pure awe and envy.
As a luxury real estate agent, he’d met his fair share of wealthy people.
But sales for these top-tier properties usually took years to close.
Negotiations alone could drag on for two or three months.
Rich people weren’t all unsophisticated new money; they cared about getting good value.
For someone to be as decisive as Qi Sheng—making the call to buy an eighty-million-yuan mansion in under an hour—was simply unheard of among the clients Huang Zhaoqi had ever served.
He certainly didn’t think Qi Sheng was being foolish.
Rather, it was that a property like this was simply no big deal to him.
’Perhaps for him, it was as casual as paying for an extra hour at a private club?’
