“It’s located at the world’s best commercial building . World Trade Center, Twin Towers . I had only rented one floor, and I am thinking of ways to buy the whole floor . ” Kirilenko replied proudly .
The busiest place in New York was Manhattan . Kirilenko’s office must also be located there . World Trade Center, Twin Towers, was also located near to Wall Street .
Feng Yu was shocked . Why did Kirilenko pick this place for his company? He knew that in about 5 years, the Twin Towers will no longer exist .
As a friend, Feng Yu had to persuade Kirilenko to relocate his company . But how does he do it? He can’t tell Kirilenko that the Twin Towers are not safe and will collapse . Kirilenko would think he is crazy .
I got to find another excuse .
“Brother Ki, do you know about our Chinese Fengshui?” Feng Yu asked seriously .
Kirilenko shook his head . “What is that?”
Feng Yu had said Fengshui in Chinese, and the translator standing behind Kirilenko also do know not how to explain Fengshui in Russian .

“It is the invisible forces around us . ”
“Oh, Fengshui . I know . I had hired someone to check the Fengshui for my house in Moscow . ” Kirilenko replied .
Huh? Russians also know about Fengshui? But Brother Ki said Fengshui in Russian, and it sounded the same as Chinese .
In the early 1980s, Fengshui had spread to Western countries and was common in Russia, which was located just next to China .
Almost every bookshop in Russia have books about Fengshui, and there were even pictures in the books to give detailed explanations .
In Feng Yu’s previous life, there was a weekly Russian TV program about Fengshui . Such programs were not allowed to be aired in China, but the Russians love to watch it .
Currently, there were lots of shops in Russia selling Fengshui items, and those shops were doing better than the shops in China . Fengshui was widely accepted by Russians . This was also because of the disintegration of the Soviet Union . Russians went through a tough period, and when they heard that Fengshui could change their life for the better, they became followers of Fengshui .
When Russia’s economy recovered and the standard of living improved for the Russians, they credited all these to Fengshui . If Yeltsin knew about this, he might cry in his sleep . He had done his best to improve his people’s life . But in the end, many people felt it was Fengshui that helped them!
Kirilenko also believes in Fengshui . He even set up a Fengshui association . His Fengshui master was not a Caucasian . He was a Chinese Fengshui Master! Most of Kirilenko’s Chinese was taught by this Master .

Since Kirilenko knows about Fengshui, it would be easier for Feng Yu to explain to him . It’s hard to explain Fengshui to someone else . Even 99% of the Chinese do not know all the terms used in Fengshui .
Feng Yu also do not know . But it did not stop him from using Fengshui to fool Kirilenko . Feng Yu only wanted Kirilenko to avoid tragedy .
“Since you know about Fengshui, then have you ask your Fengshui Master to check the Fengshui at World Trade Center?”
“Of course . The Fengshui master is the best Fengshui Master in Chinatown . I even followed your Chinese culture and paid him in a red packet . ” Kirilenko replied proudly .
Hahaha . Feng, you must not have thought that I know about these .
Feng Yu stared at him with opened eyes . Fengshui Masters are also available in the US? Kirilenko must have paid him a significant amount .
“Brother Ki, did that Fengshui Master tell you that the Twin Towers buildings are not auspicious? There will be a disaster . ”
“No . He said that Twin Tower can gather the wealth from heavens and earth . I will surely make money if I set up my company there . ”

Feng Yu: “……”
Damn . This is New York’s Twin Towers . All the companies in the buildings were all world-class companies . Which one of them did not make money? You believe this bullshit?!
“Brother Ki, how many companies in the World Trade Center do not make money? Also, you can rent a whole floor of office space in the building, which means some companies had let go of their offices . If money could be made so easily in that building, why would those companies vacate their offices? I had come to New York earlier than you . Why do you think I picked Seattle? Because of Microsoft? No . It’s because of Fengshui!” Feng Yu confidently said .
“Ah? You had asked a Master too? Seattle’s Fengshui is better than in New York?” Kirilenko was surprised . New York was supposed to be the US’s financial center . Should I move my company to Seattle?
“Of course . If not, why did Boeing become so successful? Why did Microsoft develop so fast? This Twin tower is not considered bad too . It could accumulate wealth, but it might attract disaster too . It’s fine if you are renting for the short term . However, you will regret if you buy the whole floor!”
“Really? Then I have to tell them to stop buying the offices . We will rent the space . But I still think that buying an office would be more worthwhile . ” Kirilenko was easily fooled by Feng Yu because he trusted Feng Yu completely .
“If you really want to buy an office, I think the Empire State Building is a good choice . ”
“The Empire State Building is not as grand as the World Trade Center Twin Towers . But I can still consider it . I heard that the building is not expensive too . It cost about 100 million USD . Want to buy the whole building with me?” Kirilenko asked suddenly .
Huh? Brother Ki wants to buy the whole Empire State Building? I was only talking about one floor!
But the Empire State Building was sold to a Japanese a few years ago . What was his name? Hideki Yokoi, a Japanese billionaire .
Feng Yu could not remember how much Hideki Yokoi spent on the building, but 100 million USD for that building was still a good deal . Feng Yu might not be able to make a lot of money from the building, but there will be no losses too . The property prices of New York will rise in the future .
Feng Yu remembered the Empire State Building will be sold to an American at a high price in the future . If he could purchase the building now, he could also make some profits when he sells the building to that American .
The Empire State Building was one of America’s landmark . When the building was sold to a Japanese, many Americans panicked . They thought the was the sign that the Japanese were going to buy up all of the US properties .
But in the end, Japan’s economy collapsed .
“Let’s talk about this another time . If you can persuade the owner, I don’t mind buying that building with you . But you must remember that you can only rent the offices in the World Trade Center and must not purchase them . ” Feng Yu reminded him .
“I know . I will introduce you to my team of analysts during dinner . They are all geniuses!” Kirilenko said proudly .
“Sure . I also want to see how their results in the stock market . ”
