Yang Jing smiled and said, "How are you doing with the other thing I asked you to do?"
"Are you talking about the Chinese Yanjing incident?"
Yang Jing nodded. After the London gold investment, when Yang Jing was about to leave the Cayman Islands, he discussed with Mike Aller and formulated a plan called "Yanjing Operation". What Yang Jing was asking about now was the implementation of this plan.
"It's going very smoothly over there. Just as you said, China is in urgent need of US dollars. I've been there twice and have truly experienced the urgency."
After a pause, Mike Aller continued, "I followed your instructions and went to Yanjing last summer. I have to say, it is a beautiful and quaint city." Mike Aller praised, "And the authorities there really need US dollars. I just followed your instructions and told the local government that the Dragon Fund was going to invest 10 million US dollars in public welfare funds in the Three North Shelterbelt Project. It immediately alarmed the senior leaders. When I transferred the 10 million US dollars to the designated account, a vice premier there even came out to meet me in person... Oh my god, this is my first time meeting a leader of such a high level. I am very excited."
Yang Jing thought, "How can we not alarm the top leaders? China's demand for foreign exchange was the strongest in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and that was also the period when China's foreign exchange reserves were the lowest. For example, in 1980, China's dollar reserves were less than 100 million US dollars. Even in 1981, China's dollar reserves were only 2.7 billion US dollars. The 10 million US dollars that I asked Mike Aller to throw out was definitely a huge amount of foreign exchange for China at that time."
Mike Aller was still a little excited. "When the Vice Prime Minister met with me, I promised to invest another 20 million US dollars. Now, whatever I want to do in Yanjing will become very simple."
"I did as you said and bought a huge manor near a lake behind the famous imperial city. The manor is really big. I estimate that it must be at least more than 25,000 square feet. Because I bought it with US dollars, it only cost me 500,000 US dollars. Oh my god, I can't imagine that such a big manor only needs such a small amount of money. However, the manor was too dilapidated, so I invested another 2 million US dollars to renovate it. Now I think the manor has been renovated."
For Mike Aller, the courtyard house covering an area of more than 3,000 square meters is a manor.
Hearing this, Yang Jing nodded with satisfaction.
Last month, when Yang Jing traveled here to invest in London gold, he took the time to go to Yanjing and stayed in Yanjing for more than a week. In fact, he was looking for a suitable courtyard house.
Because Shengjie once said that as long as the property rights of those courtyard houses in the original time and space belonged to the public or foreigners, then Yang Jing would not cause a time and space paradox if he purchased them while traveling through time and space, so Yang Jing chose the most famous courtyard house in the original time and space.
The courtyard house is located on the north bank of Houhai Lake, separated from Houhai Lake by a small road. The courtyard house is the famous Hai Courtyard House, which was bought by a Russian oil tycoon for 110 million yuan in 2007. It was the most expensive courtyard house in Yanjing at that time.
Even in 2017, that courtyard house was still the top courtyard house in Yanjing. With an area of more than 3,000 square meters, it was the largest private courtyard house within the second ring road of Yanjing. In 2017, that courtyard house was said to be worth more than 1.5 billion yuan.
Yang Jing naturally didn't want such a nice yard to fall into the hands of foreigners.
Damn it, you, a Russian, came to our country's capital and bought the best courtyard house in our capital. How embarrassed should we be?
Therefore, Yang Jing naturally set his sights on the Hai Siheyuan, which was considered to be extremely expensive in later generations.
However, Yang Jing still did not plan to take action himself. As this matter involved various property rights in the original time and space, it would be safest to let Mike Aller take action.
However, Yang Jing did pay for this courtyard. Of course, this kind of payment was nothing to Yang Jing.
He used the name of the Dragon Fund to invest 30 million US dollars to develop the Three North Shelterbelt Project, which was itself a public welfare project. Yang Jing knew very well what the environment of Yanjing would be like in the future, and now that he had made a lot of money from foreigners, it was meaningful for him to give back to his motherland.
He did not have this ability before, but now he has it. As a descendant of the Chinese nation, Yang Jing believes it is necessary to give back to his motherland's environmental protection cause.
The most important thing is that with this purely public welfare investment, it will be easier for Mike Aller to do things in China.
Using the money earned from foreigners to contribute to the environmental protection cause of your own country, and at the same time make your own work more convenient, this is simply killing two birds with one stone.
If it weren't for this 30 million US dollars of charitable investment, Mike Aller would have no chance of buying the courtyard house in Yanjing, let alone acquiring some old items in Yanjing.
Now with this investment, Mike Aller not only bought the courtyard house easily, but also the task of purchasing old items from that era that Yang Jing asked him to do also went smoothly.
Although Yang Jing had not seen those old items yet, through Mike Aller's introduction, he learned that the "Yanjing Operation" plan was being carried out very smoothly.
PS: I would like to thank "Zi Yan Tian Jiao" and "Bing Zhen Ba Du" for their 100 rewards.
