Feng Yu was in no hurry . He sipped on his tea slowly and waited for Donald to make his decision . If Feng Yu showed that he was anxious, he would have to offer a higher price .
Donald was a brilliant businessman, and Feng Yu also wanted to learn from him . Even if they can’t be friends now, they might still have the chance to cooperate in the future .
Feng Yu had no experience in managing properties . After he bought the Empire State Building, he must hire someone to manage it too . It’s not a bad idea to let Donald manage the building for him as he is in the property business for many years .
“How much are you offering? I only have 50% shares . How are you going to buy the other 50%?” Donald asked .
Feng Yu laughed . “That is my problem . The management rights will be given to you only . It will be like you own the building too . ”
Donald shook his head . “You don’t understand . Most of the Empire State Building is rented out to 2 property companies . They set up a management company to manage the Empire State Building . It will not be easy to get back the management rights from them . ”
“I know you have ways to kick them out, right? This way, the value of your shares will rise . Also, after buying the building, I will renovate both the interior and exterior . It will be easier to manage than before . You will be making a lot of money . ” Feng Yu laughed .
If the Empire State Building is bind by long-term leases to two companies, it would be useless for Feng Yu to buy it . Feng Yu would not be able to make any money from the building and can’t rename it to China State Building . Feng Yu intends to let Donald manage the day-to-day operations of the building, but Kirilenko and he will have the overall control of the building .

Although this would increase the purchasing price of the Empire State Building, they can make more money in the long-term . The recovery of the US property market will happen in another 1 to 2 years . This investment will not make any losses .
“If it is this problem, I can help you . You mentioned that you will lend me a sum of money?” Donald looked at Feng Yu seriously .
“That’s right . I can also tell you something about me . I am the third-biggest shareholder of Microsoft after Bill and Paul . You can go and find out . ”
Feng Yu used his status as Microsoft’s shareholder to persuade Donald .
Donald was shocked . Feng Yu was Microsoft’s third shareholder? That means his net worth is more than 2 billion USD?
This Feng Yu should have no problem buying the Empire State Building .
“How much can you lend me?” Donald was very excited, but his tone was still calm .
“How much do you need?” Feng Yu asked him back .

Donald’s eyes grew wide . Does that mean Feng Yu would lend me as much as I want?
“50 million USD!” Donald said a significant amount . The market price of the Empire State Building was slightly more than 50 million USD . Of course, if those two tenants are not around, the value will be doubled after renovation . Donald was confident that he would increase the value of the Empire State Building to over 100 million after a year .
Feng Yu looked at Donald and saw him frowned . He smiled and replied . “Sure . ”
“Really? That’s great!” Donald thought Feng Yu would reject him . He did not expect Feng Yu to agree immediately .
“But this is a big amount . If I charge you the current bank interest, it will be very high . I will offer you an alternative . I will lend you this 50 million USD for 5 years . During these 5 years, your company will help me manage the Empire State Building as interest for the amount I lend you . Do you agree?”
5 years is enough for Feng Yu to train someone in property management . Even if it is a fresh graduate, he will have enough experience .
Donald would be managing the Empire State Building, but in reality, it would be harder for him to own it in the future .

Donald looked at Feng Yu for a while . “I want to keep 5% of the shares of the building . ” He does not want to give up on the building . This was his dream . But Feng Yu was willing to lend him 50 million, and he does not need to sell off all his shares in the building to raise funds .
“No problem . But you need to pay your share for the renovation of the building . ” You want to keep some of the shares, then you have to pay the price . Feng Yu does not mind letting him own 5% . Anyway, it’s only 5%, and Feng Yu could buy back those shares by force in the future .
“Ok . That’s settled then . I will make sure the two troublemakers move out within 3 months . But I hope we can sign a confidential agreement . ”
“That’s what I wanted too . I will buy your shares and transfer the 50 million USD into your account 3 months later .
……
Kameda Masao was at a prison in Tokyo today . He was not there to visit any friend . He was there to pass a message from Feng Yu to someone in the Prison’s hospital .
Hideki Yokoi was in the hospital’s bed . Although he was serving his sentence, he does not need to live in the cell with others . But his movements were confined to the compound of this hospital . He still got to serve slightly more than 1 year in prison .
“Hideki Yokoi, someone is here to see you . ” A warden entered Hideki Yokoi’s ward .
Hideki Yokoi frowned . He thought it was his family member visiting him, and there were problems with his company .
Hideki Yokoi nodded, and Kameda Masao entered with the warden . Hideki Yokoi was well-taken care of in prison as his family had used their connections . He had never thought of escaping . Even if he wants to escape, he was too old . That’s why he had more freedom .
Hideki Yokoi frowned as he looked at the man who entered . He had never met him before . Was he new stuff hired by his son? Bastard! The company is on the verge of closing, and we owe so much money . He should be retrenching staff and not hiring new staff!
“Mr . Hideki Yokoi . My name is Kameda Masao . I am representing Mr . Feng Yu to offer you a business deal . ”
Hideki Yokoi was puzzled . Who is Kameda Masao and Feng Yu? Also, what business deal is he talking about? Who would want to do business with him in his current state?
“Mr . Hideki Yokoi, it will be beneficial to your family if you do business with us . Your body will not last any longer . If you pass away before your plan succeeds, then your family will have no chance to return to its former glory . Your two sons will definitely have no chance . ” Kameda Masao said casually .
Hideki Yokoi’s eyes brighten up . What does this man mean? Does he know something?
“I would like to speak with this gentleman in private . ” Hideki Yokoi said .
The warden thought for a while and went out . Hideki Yokoi is a tycoon, and even he is hospitalized in the prison hospital, he had special privileges .
“Mr . Kameda, what do you mean?”
