Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 150 Tang Jingjing: I'll take care of Lu Yao (Happy New Year)
At this point in time in early 2014, the idea of ​​making luxury goods was very cool.

All those who are doing branding want to raise the tone of their brand to the sky, giving people a feeling of being out of touch with this world.

It is unprecedented for the brand founder to personally present and deliver the product, as this would seriously lower the brand's style.

But now, Rong Nianqing's approach has set an example for everyone.

The direct descendants of the trillion-level group personally humble themselves and treat the users of their brand with sincerity and humility. At the same time, they have a profound cultural heritage, and things that were previously recognized by the royal family do not need excessive packaging and setting off.

Good product + sincere attitude = success.

As the auction prices from Huasheng Life Plaza were fed back in real time, Tao Sixing's heart grew colder.

Tang Jingjing watched from the side for a while and said, "They didn't deliberately raise the price too high. The highest price of the color-changing products so far is only over 2 million. Even if the Suzhou embroidery and customized products are higher, they will definitely not exceed 10 million."

"The most likely transaction price is probably around five or six million."

The initial budget given by Xinbai Plaza was that some customized luxury items would be sold at a price of US$3 million.

This is definitely a sky-high price for a luxury item, and it is definitely worth the price, but Xinbai Plaza is not short of money.

Tao Sixing calmed down and sighed, "Price competition is meaningless now."

When Huasheng Life launched the non-physical auction, all the plans they had made in advance became meaningless, because the price of the physical auction could not catch up with the non-physical gimmick.

Just like the people you meet later can never compare to your first love who died young.

Tao Sixing could even imagine what headlines the media in Nan and surrounding areas would write tonight.

"After all, it's just a step behind."

Tao Sixing felt a little sad and a little unwilling in his heart.

This was his first battle with Rong Nianqing after returning to China. No matter it was the early public opinion campaign, or today's competition, or even the sales volume during this period, he did not lose to Huasheng Life Plaza. He even relied on the advantage of being in the city center of Xinjie Road and had a slight upper hand.

But in the subsequent auction, he was much weaker.

Was this something Rong Nianqing came up with herself, or was it something that the aide beside her came up with? It stands to reason that Rong Nianqing would not let herself go to such an extent. Tao Sixing guessed that this was something that the aide beside Rong Nianqing came up with.

Tang Jingjing also added at this time: "Boss, I suddenly feel that what Miss Tao Siyu did was very wise."

Rong Nianqing is indeed capable, but when combined with the variable of Lu Yao, Rong Nianqing's own abilities suddenly become unpredictable. This is a true combination of positive and odd.

The most rare thing is that Rong Nianqing, who has such a strong background, is actually willing to listen to the advice of that "giant".

Tao Sixing took a deep breath: "Rong Nianqing is now protecting that Lu Yao. Didn't my sister fail to get rid of him last time even though she made such a big noise? Although we have obtained the air traffic control, Rong Nianqing's people have also infiltrated deeper into the Three Law Departments."

Tang Jingjing smiled and said, "We are all experts in our own fields. Leave the scam to me, and the boss can just cooperate on the side."

Tao Sixing was actually not willing to let Tang Jingjing do what she wanted, because Tang Jingjing was, in some ways, even crazier than his sister Tao Siyu.

But if he doesn't get rid of Lu Yao, he will indeed be a bit passive.

Tao Sixing thought for a moment and said, "I will cooperate with you. I won't care what you do, but you must tell me before you do anything so that I can be mentally prepared."

Tang Jingjing smiled and said, "Okay~"

After Tang Jingjing finished speaking, she twisted her slender waist, and her well-proportioned waist and hips twisted and moved forward, and she walked out from behind the scenes with a swaying figure. Her graceful back made Tao Sixing, who was in a depressed mood, feel a little better.

Later on, Tao Sixing took out his mobile phone to check information on major media platforms.

Just as Tao Sixing expected, the media who were invited to the Huasheng Life "Yong" brand launch conference and product launch auction were all shocked when they saw Rong Nianqing launching a non-physical auction.

When the custom-made kesi bag was sold at a high price of 7.3 million yuan that night, many of the invited media were almost pissing their pants.

Their ideas flowed like springs, and all kinds of shocking and praising words came one after another. Shangnan local media, Weibo, public accounts, and even many official media came out to praise "Yong"'s products.

Zhejiang Province’s official media and even satellite TV stations reported tonight’s events live.

When the luxury brand "Yong" was first born, it seemed like a child of destiny, the apple of everyone's eye.

The more Tao Sixing looked, the bluer his lips became. He slid his fingertips across the screen of his phone, and shocking headlines flashed across his screen one after another:

《The strong rise of national style luxury brands! This will be the first year of the national style and national trend! 》

"The collision of millennial heritage and modern aesthetics, a new force of luxurious and noble domestic luxury goods!"

《It's so funny! A picture was sold at a high price of 750 million! Huasheng Life's new brand beats all the foreign luxury brands in Xinbai Plaza! 》

With the brand launch and auction of "Yong", various media and new media seemed to have welcomed the Spring Festival Gala again. Information about Huasheng Life and "Yong" could be found by just browsing.

By seven o'clock in the evening, even the 7 o'clock news reported on Rong Nianqing's luxury brand, and then all major media platforms ushered in another wave of excitement because they were excited about the new luxury brand appearing on the 7 o'clock news.

The wealthy tycoons who had previously spent a large sum of money to buy a bag at the auction were grinning from ear to ear.

To them, kesi bags are not important, but it is important that the brand was featured in the official media’s evening news, it is important to take a photo with President Rong, and it is even more important to have those four big guys present.

He is a big shot who came to show his support, shouldn’t Mr. Rong help introduce him to him?
So compared with the seemingly fierce price competition at Xinbai Plaza, the unit price and total price of the auction at Huasheng Life are not as good as those at Xinbai Plaza, but the atmosphere at Huasheng Life is full of festivity.

The big guys who spent money all felt that their trip was worth it.

Tao Sixing, who had been observing the whole process, once again sighed in his heart: "Where does she get so much work?"

The one trick after another really makes competitors depressed.

……

Unlike Tao Sixing who was in a depressed mood, Rong Nianqing was in a very good mood. In addition to the praise from some internet trolls, there were also many spontaneous praises from netizens for "Yong" on the Internet.

The auctions of Huasheng Life and Xinbai Plaza were both broadcast live online. While the press conferences were ongoing, both sides were also constantly releasing media information. Close-up details of the auction items were all photographed and posted to their respective platform accounts.

This business war that lasted for almost two months finally came to an end tonight.

The situation on Huasheng Life's side is very good, but the water army of Xinbai Plaza is also not weak. A large part of the water army is composed of comments organized and released by branches of major luxury brands.

“Congratulations to the Xinbai Plaza Luxury Show for setting a new record in product launch and auction prices!”

"Three million dollars! Oh my god, is this still in the country?"

"Xinbai's auction price and total price are much higher than those of the store next door. Are they just putting up a picture to fool people?"

Remarks like these have also spread to different Internet platforms under the influence of Xinbai's marketing power. Under different accounts, the other party's obviously provocative comments have made many netizens who have patriotic sentiments and respect for ancient history unhappy.

So the two sides started a war of words on the Internet:

"You can doubt the character of the rich, but you can't doubt their vision. So many rich people are willing to spend six or seven million to buy a concept map, which shows that the national style is worth it!"

"Can the things carefully selected by our ancestors be compared with those of yours?"

"What's the point of having a high price? Huasheng Life announced where the tycoons who went to the auction site were originally going to go. Don't you have any idea? You can flatter them with such a flattering face, it's disgusting!"

Looking at the lingering war on the Internet, Rong Nianqing was in a good mood.

In Lu Yao's words, controversy creates popularity and draws more passers-by who are not aware of the situation to join in the fun, thereby expanding the brand's influence.

After the auction of "Yong" was over, Rong Nianqing took the stage again and expressed his sincere gratitude to the wealthy people who participated in the auction. He also promised to use 10% of the proceeds from the auction to establish the "Huasheng Life Charity Fund". This money will be used to help more people in need.

Finally, Rong Nianqing said on stage: "In fact, I wanted to create a design brand from the beginning, but I couldn't find a particularly good direction until a friend pointed it out to me."

“Although that friend is not here tonight, I still want to express my sincere gratitude to that friend here.”

As he spoke, Rong Nianqing bowed deeply to the camera on the stage.

This made Hu Xiaoyu in the audience a little stunned. If she guessed correctly, this idea was given to her by Lu Yao? She didn't expect that guy to have such a meticulous and artistic side.

Hu Xiaoyu's impression of Lv Yao increased by +52~
After Rong Nianqing bowed, she continued, "My friend also said that many places in China actually lack design aesthetics. Aesthetics should not be high and mighty, but something that everyone can see, touch, and enjoy."

“When I thought about this sentence carefully, I found that it is true. There is a lack of aesthetic application in many aspects of our lives. So, taking advantage of this opportunity today, on behalf of Huasheng Life and Yong, I will establish a sub-brand "Xiao Yong" under the Yong brand to integrate more aesthetic designs into daily life.”

The design luxury brand has reached a collaboration with Huasheng Life Plaza!

Companies that are rectifying the domestic product design market——

It is coming!
This is actually the Alot model that Mr. Lei later came up with, except that Mr. Lei chose to connect smartly through mobile phones, but Lu Yao chose to connect products through offline supermarkets.

The mobile phone industry had already become very competitive by 2014, and the core technologies and accessories of mobile phones have always been controlled by foreign countries. It is not easy to enter this industry.

However, using offline shopping malls as the core, and then producing and interconnecting self-operated products to create an integrated furniture ecosystem is a less competitive track.

Especially in a few years when the real estate market is booming, the home improvement and home furnishing products industries will usher in a wave of rapid growth. If we can seize this opportunity and launch home furnishings that are compatible with future smart products, we will have great potential in the future.

But this is still not the final form of Lu Yao’s business concept; it is still an intermediate transitional form.

After Rong Nianqing revealed the next business plan, the meeting place suddenly became buzzing with people talking to each other. They were all discussing the deeper meaning behind Rong Nianqing's move. What if the Rong family was behind this?

Does this represent the next direction of the market?
After giving everyone some time to digest the news, Rong Nianqing announced that today's press conference had come to a successful conclusion. At the same time, a strong light hanging from the top of the glass hall shone down, and golden names appeared one by one in the blood-red waterfall.

Many local reporters and people participating in the auction in Shangnan were stunned and immediately understood the meaning.

So the reporters at the scene raised their cameras and took pictures non-stop!

“So there’s this kind of ingenuity here!”

“This glass waterfall is both beautiful and meaningful!”

The auction scene first became silent, with only the sound of camera shutters. Then there was isolated applause, and soon the isolated applause turned into thunderous applause.

The applause is for Rong Nianqing and also for this design.

Rong Nianqing did not give any explanation of her work. Instead, after the applause died down, she invited everyone at the scene to move to the booked hotel to celebrate.

At the dinner, Rong Nianqing really did what the wealthy people present had expected and gave them the opportunity to talk and take photos with the four big guys. The winner of the auction tonight even included Rong Nianqing's contact information.

It’s a pity that the contact information of the bosses’ accompanying secretaries were not included, otherwise what they would gain from attending the auction today would be beyond their expectations.

At the celebratory dinner, even Hu Xiaoyu was dragged along by Rong Nianqing to join in the socializing.

Hu Xiaoyu started to feel dizzy after staying in the banquet hall for a while, filled with people coming and going and noisy voices. This was much more uncomfortable for her than restoring ancient books and creating intangible cultural heritage works in the National Gallery of Chinese Painting.

When the dinner was almost over, Rong Nianqing first had a cordial farewell chat with the four big guys who came to support the party, and then followed Hu Xiaoyu to see off most of the guests. Only then did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

Rong Nianqing unbuttoned his shirt, sighed and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Director Hu."

Hu Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Boss Rong, you are the one who has worked hard. After all, I only came here for a social event today. You must have a lot of social events on your side on a regular basis."

With her preference for quietness, she really is not interested in such an occasion.

Rong Nianqing tidied up her appearance, took out her phone, sent a few messages, and then said to Hu Xiaoyu, "Let's go pick up Lu Yao."

Hu Xiaoyu finally perked up: "Okay."

Soon, Rong Nianqing's car drove to the downstairs of Lu Yao's company.

After sending a message to Lu Yao asking him to come down, Hu Xiaoyu saw the exit of the company's main gate. Not long after, a tall and thin figure wearing a black windbreaker walked towards them.

In Hu Xiaoyu's eyes, the figure seemed too thin, and the black coat hanging on him looked like a fluttering flag.

This made Hu Xiaoyu think of how Lu Yao looked when he was sick due to an allergy. He felt both angry and amused.

Lu Yao wrapped his hands in his coat and walked to Rong Nianqing's MPV in the cold night wind. As the back door opened, Lu Yao found that there were people sitting in the two back seats.

He was surprised and said, "Huh? Director Hu is here too."

Hu Xiaoyi: "."

You used to call her Sister Hu, but now you call her Director Hu?

When she saw Lu Yao through the car window just now, her heart almost beat twice, but as soon as this guy opened the car door, Hu Xiaoyu felt like she was a little annoyed.

How does this guy manage to make people so angry just by opening his mouth?

So Hu Xiaoyu deliberately smiled and said, "You called me Sister Hu in Hangzhou, why don't you call me that now?"

Lu Yao laughed and said, "Oh, it was just a show effect back then. Now Director Hu, you are a big internet celebrity. Not only have local satellite TV stations reported you, but even CCTV has reported you. I checked your account and the number of fans broke through two million overnight and is heading towards three million."

Hu Xiaoyu was speechless again. Was it just a show effect? ​​?

But he just checked his personal account. Although it might be work, does this also mean that he is actually following me as well?

As soon as Hu Xiaoyu saw this guy Lu Yao, he felt his thoughts started to become confused, like a pot of boiling porridge.

Lu Yao closed the back door and sat directly in the front passenger seat, then began to complain to Rong Nianqing: "Boss Rong, I don't understand. You said you went to find Tao Sixing specifically. What was your purpose in annoying him? When did you become so evil?"

Rong Nianqing's face twitched. What do you mean I have become "so bad"? Am I that kind of person?
She said seriously: "Lv Yao, have you ever thought about why it is so difficult for the higher-ups to do something in Shangnan at this time?"

The power structure is top-down. An idea from the boss at the top can make the people below do it with just a few strokes and a little effort. Even if the boss had a dream last night, the people below will find a way to make it come true.

Whether your boss recognizes it or not is his problem, whether you do it or not is your problem.

It's already 2014, and it shouldn't be like this at this point in time. So why is it so difficult for the higher-ups to do something in Shangnan? They even have to let Rong Nianqing's family take the lead.

Rong Nianqing said: "Let me tell you a story."

"Why was Wei Zhongxian executed by the emperor in the late Ming Dynasty? Was Chongzhen so stupid that he couldn't see the character of Wei Zhongxian and the character of those civil servants?"

After a brief thought, Lu Yao said, "The court of the late Ming Dynasty was short of money, and many problems were pressing. Emperor Chongzhen was anxious, but the treasury was empty."

After hearing what Rong Nianqing said, Lu Yao understood. Although Wei Zhongxian had made contributions, he also embezzled a huge amount of wealth while helping the previous emperor suppress the officials, while Chongzhen continued to fill the national treasury with silver and money.

Dealing with civil servants could easily trigger a backlash from the aristocratic families behind them, but killing Wei Zhongxian would not be risky at all, and would also bring a lot of help. As for why Wei Zhongxian was not used to continue suppressing the officials, perhaps Chongzhen had his own calculations, but they were not as sophisticated as others.

So the current situation in Shangnan is that many bigwigs in Shangnan have huge amounts of funds in their hands!

Rong Nianqing continued, "The development of bulk provinces has always been very good, especially Shangnan and Gusu. In the early years, in order to attract overseas investment, an "Overseas Development Fund" was established overseas."

Lu Yao asked: "How much is this fund?"

Rong Nianqing said calmly: "Seven trillion."

Lu Yao nodded and agreed: "That's indeed a lot."

Rong Nianqing added: "It's US dollars."

This time, Lu Yao was said to be silent.

At the beginning of 2014, one U.S. dollar was equivalent to about 42 RMB, which simply means trillion, or about the same as twenty-one Mr. Xu.

The key point is that this was 2014 trillion in 42!

This is almost two years' worth of domestic fiscal revenue. Such a huge sum of money is floating overseas. No wonder many bigwigs in Shangnan are so fearless. Some people cannot touch this money unless it comes back.

Rong Nianqing sighed, "Although this amount of money was not allocated in one year, such a large amount of money will always make people cautious. This time, Tao Sixing called several senior executives of overseas investment institutions to show his support, so we caught some clues here."

"Next, we will use more intensive means to force the other party to mobilize a large amount of funds, so as to trace the funds back."

Lu Yao suddenly felt under a huge pressure.

Seeing Lu Yao's silence, Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "Professional things should be done by professionals. What we need to do here is to keep putting pressure on Tao Sixing and make him continue to invest large sums of money."

"I went there tonight to make a statement, but you know me, I'm not as professional as you in stirring up hatred."

Lu Yao smiled speechlessly. It turned out that he was just dragged here to talk nonsense. However, he was indeed very good at this.

As the car started, Lu Yao leaned on the passenger seat and asked, "How much money can we, Huasheng alone, mobilize?"

After Lu Yao finished speaking, he suddenly realized something: "Is it the stock market?"

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "You are very perceptive."

Lu Yao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the A-share market had been hit to more than 1,900 points in March, and then the stock market continued to rise as if it had taken veterinary medicine, and then suddenly fell back a year later.

Eventually the stock market was thrown aside and never used again.

So there are these things hidden behind this?
As for those stock investors who became rich between June 2014 and June next year, the little money they earned was just a little scrap of money picked up after following the trend for a while. Compared with this overseas development fund, it is just chump change.

Fortunately, when the stock market hit its lowest point this month, Lu Yao had already divided 10 million yuan into several accounts and invested in the stock market to buy at the bottom.

He is not very ambitious and is content to just follow the crowd and eat some crumbs.

The real way out that Lu Yao left for himself was the 50 million that was deposited into his virtual currency account. Although this money cannot be cashed until about five or six years later, Lu Yao felt at ease knowing that this trend was there.

He will also have more confidence about what he really wants to do.

Soon, Rong Nianqing brought Lu Yao and Hu Xiaoyu to the lakeside park, where she and Tao Sixing had agreed to meet.

Rong Nianqing said to Hu Xiaoyu beside her: "Wait for us in the car for a while."

Hu Xiaoyu heard a lot of things tonight that she shouldn't have heard. This was intentional by Rong Nianqing, which showed that she didn't treat Hu Xiaoyu as an outsider. But Hu Xiaoyu knew very well that she couldn't reveal a word of what happened tonight to anyone else and could only keep it in her heart.

So she seemed very quiet on the way here.

By the Moling Lake, Tao Sixing and her secretary Tang Jingjing had been waiting for a long time.
