The land area is so large that it makes Han Chudong excited. There is also a small natural lake on the mountain, which is suitable for building a house next to it.

It is now bare, mostly wasteland with bare rocks, and some garbage everywhere, but once the renovation is completed, it should be a very nice place to live, with the location and reputation being top-notch.

As for the transportation of building materials, he thought there was no need to worry too much. At worst, he could use a small car or a transport helicopter to transport them. At worst, he could build a road on the hillside facing the city of Los Angeles.

After becoming one of the super rich, Han Chudong began to think like rich people. As long as he wanted to accomplish something, there were always more solutions than difficulties.

Anyway, he only needs to build a main building, plus the so-called nanny building, auxiliary building, etc., so he should not need to worry too much about transportation issues.

The real estate businessmen who had previously considered this piece of land considered the issue from the perspective of overall development, and naturally encountered many obstacles.

He is different.

Han Chudong only needs to get approval for a small piece of land, and the rest of the land can be used to plant grass and trees. These procedures are easy to handle and are also very beneficial to the surrounding residents.

As for the huge investment, a house cannot be built overnight, and the investment period may be as long as two to three years. Based on the expected long-term benefits, this issue is not within his consideration at all, not to mention that the expenses can be used for legal tax deduction.

After attending several parties, he already had some friends at the City Hall...

I started planning in my mind.

Such a large piece of wasteland can be used for many things, such as building a golf club of your own, which can also be considered as part of urban greening and is easy to obtain approval.

But Han Chudong did not express his thoughts in front of the real estate agents.

It was not until the way home that he told his father about his idea. Han Yiqiang was so happy that he replied, "A standard 18-hole golf course has an area of ​​about 60 to 70 hectares. Such a large piece of land is definitely enough, and the scenery and location are also very good! Plant the grass yourself, and plant good evergreen grass all year round. If it can be done, it will definitely be very comfortable. Then I will quit my job and take your mom, your grandparents and others to be responsible for mowing the grass and receiving guests all day long!"

Han Chudong had no plan to live with them, but it was not easy to bring up such a thing. The annex building was planned for the family, and it would be nice if they were neighbors.

"Sure, my mom quit her job anyway. If we come and live here, my grandparents can close the dry goods store and save them the trouble. If I want to start a business, I'll find a store near Beverly Hills and sell anything."

After chatting all the way, Han Chudong went to stay at Mochizuki Kiko's small apartment at night, while his father was sent home by the driver.

The work efficiency is extremely high.

The next day, Han Chudong acquired ownership of the land from the owner through a real estate agency.

It is only the right to use, but according to the 19th century contract, as long as you can afford the rent, you can renew the lease indefinitely at a low price. This lease is about to expire. The contract was signed in 1876.

If you own the complete land rights, it is not something that can be bought with just over five million US dollars. Even if the price is ten times higher, people will still rush to buy it because the land owner can build a house on it almost according to his own wishes.

Two days later, after the weekend was over, Han Chudong went to the city hall in person to ask the mayor for help.

First, he renewed the lease for a hundred years as a lessee, and then applied to plan a piece of construction land by the lake and purchased the complete land rights, with a total area of ​​more than 18,000 square meters.

In addition, a piece of land needs to be purchased to build a clubhouse for the golf club, which also covers an area of ​​more than 18,000 square meters.

A rough calculation shows that the total cost is about 14 million US dollars, plus taxes.

However, the current mayor's term is about to end, and Han Chudong said he was willing to hire him as a consultant in his company, so the approval of the golf course and the construction land should not be a big problem.

At least after receiving the hint, the other party immediately called his men to help measure the land, and persuaded him that it was a good piece of land and that he could rent it for another two or three hundred years while the price was low.

This kind of shady transaction is very common, so it is not convenient to discuss it in detail.

Anyway, within a few days, all the procedures were completed. It is really very simple for a super rich person to do such a thing.

So Han Chudong hired an architectural design firm, asked them to conduct on-site inspections, and then build the land according to his own ideas.

Including taxes and fees, before construction even started, a total of more than 20 million US dollars had been paid to the city hall in exchange for the right to use the land for 300 years and the complete ownership of the two plots of land. They would be temporarily registered under the name of Mason United Group, and they would find a way to transfer it to their personal name later...

Rainbow Beauty Company's crazy expansion and advertising resulted in a surge in performance in the short term. On average, its daily turnover is more than 5.6 million US dollars, and the number of stores is as many as 80. It also has branches in European cities such as London and Paris, and the number of stores is still increasing.

It is mid-June, and there are only ten days left before other brands of facial mask products come out.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

We can already see P&G's pre-heating ads and posters posted at L'Oreal counters. The Ex-Boyfriend mask ads shot with the help of Miss Helena Bergman are still on TV shows. It's clear that the days of each company's products competing against each other won't be too far away.

Under such circumstances, lipstick, toner, lotion essence, and a lower-priced facial mask product quietly appeared on the shelves of various Rainbow Beauty counters and were officially mass-produced and sold.

It is worth mentioning that the shareholders of Christian Dior ultimately rejected Han Chudong's acquisition or financing agreement with an overwhelming majority and did not want to talk at all.

That's okay.

The French YSL brand was very interested in his olive branch, and Han Chudong's people told him that they had already started formal discussions on the amount of financing.

Gucci and Hermès, after acquiring large amounts of capital, began to select locations for expansion, primarily in the U.S. market. New product launches are still in the works, and they have recently begun placing advertisements in U.S. fashion magazines to show off their brand heritage.

June 14th.

Helena invited him to attend her graduation ceremony, but Han Chudong couldn't spare the time.

Because he was going to meet the owner of a small film company with Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun to discuss acquisition, and also to go to the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel to attend the Fashion Night Party hosted by Gucci. Also, a Japanese animation company had its eyes on the film and television rights of "Supercar" and wanted to cooperate with him to develop an animation, so he planned to have a detailed discussion in person.

A bunch of things happened at the same time, and I was too busy to get away.

In mid-June, various rating agencies once again raised the valuation of Rainbow Beauty, with the amount generally reaching one billion US dollars.

As the only shareholder, Han Chudong has completely secured the title of "the richest Chinese in North America", but there is also negative news. These rating agencies have also issued risk warnings, saying that facing the upcoming three giants, performance is likely to decline sharply.

More importantly, the momentum of development may be curbed, affecting the subsequent valuation...
