Age of Legends

Chapter 191: Very good at playing
Regardless of whether they are practitioners or not, today's guests left the launch site of Xuhui Company with shock, doubts, or even contempt.

There were also people discussing privately, those who came with Li Jieyun, "You said, Sister Huang's park-style residence...if it's real, then it's really comfortable!"

"Yeah, yeah, they also said they wanted to build affordable houses, but that's just talk!"

"It's not easy to sell. Who would buy houses now that they are so expensive? You are overthinking it..."

"It's hard to say whether they can get the land. How can they get so much money to engage in real estate?"

"Does real estate require money? Isn't it enough to have a good relationship with the bank president? Chen Xuran, she has so many connections. Didn't you see the president of China Merchants Bank here today? He's the tall and thin one. If there is a project, it can be directly mortgaged, the bank will lend money, pre-sale will collect the money, and then the land will be acquired. Who will pay for it themselves? The bigger the real estate company, the more loans it will get. The government and banks are afraid that you will go bankrupt, so they open the door to convenience! This is capital operation!"

"It's hard to say. If any link is broken, it will be terrible. So it's not that simple... I don't think Huang Huifen can make it. Don't just use her as a shield for Chen Xuran. When the time comes, she will have deep connections and background and will just walk away, and they will be trapped in it!"

"Hey, who can say that? After all, I still recognize Huang Huifen as my sister!"

"What are you talking about? Everyone knows what happened to Huang Huifen's family in the past. You two have no relationship. How can they recognize you as their godsister? Don't you think about how complicated this is..."

"makes sense……"

The people from NanGuang Company who came to watch the ceremony had this discussion.

On the way back, some colleagues also talked about the concepts proposed by Huang Huifen: "For the land exchanged for the park renovation project to build houses, the bank mortgage loan is generally 60%. Even if the financial statements are well done and the connections are in place, you can get 70% or 80%. With so many projects built with this money, such as the ones that Mr. Huang mentioned, even if she collects the purchase money and fills in the interest, how much can she earn?"

"Moreover, the project must use only national standard steel bars. If the materials meet the standards, we promise to compensate you ten times the purchase price. To be honest... it's not that strict these days. A difference of 0.1 mm in steel bars means a lot of money in costs. How much effort will it take to do it exactly as required in the construction? That's enough..."

There were many similar voices, which were scattered in every corner of the city as the participants returned. This was originally a cry that could not be tolerated by the times. There would be some waves, but it seemed that it would eventually return to silence.

The tide of the times is vigorous and will roll up all kinds of thoughts and ideals, which will act as waves and bubbles, disappear on the rocks hitting the shore, or evaporate in the scorching sun, and will not stop for anyone.

It was just one such night when Zhuang Yanyue went home with her parents. On the way, Zhuang Xuefeng was still discussing Zhang Chen's family with Liu Jun.

"Chen Xuran has a brother who is the district chief. She has strong connections. I am still considering whether to invest in Zhang Chen's family. To be honest, I am quite impressed by Sister Huang's ideas."

Liu Jun glanced at him and asked, "Are you investing because of Sister Huang, or because you think Chen Xuran is pretty?"

"Hey, what are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense in front of the kids. I'm just talking about the prospects. Maybe Zhang Chen's company is not bad.

You see... because of the Hexianju site, we found out that our company was embezzling. If we let this place go, how big will this hole be in the future? If you really catch someone by then? I can't explain to the parents of the people I brought out.

Zhang Chen's family took over Hexianju, and not long after, the policy changed and the plan was released. They wanted to build a business there, and the price suddenly increased several times. Zhang Chen's family made their first fortune. Now his father has set up a company. After so long, there are still people willing to work with him in the technical line. What does this mean? His father is a good person and has accumulated some things in the past, which gives people confidence. And Chen Xuran, a female host, is also willing to invest in partnering with Sister Huang. I think... Zhang Chen's family is a bit "lucky". "

Zhuang Xuefeng said, "If you really want to say something, I can't tell you, but I think investment is sometimes about investing in people you like, and I invest in luck. If this person has good luck, I can also invest in a share. I think the luck of Zhang Chen's family is still booming."

Liu Jun didn't say anything, and then asked, "Do you think those words of Zhang Chen's mother were Zhang Chen's idea behind the scenes?"

Zhuang Xuefeng was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"I was at the Cultural Bureau. When Wang Bowen submitted his report on the cultural festival, he was not very clear on the first day, so I asked him to come the next day. But the second day, it was completely different, clear and organized. I read his draft in advance and printed it out, but there were some changes made later on it, which were not in Wang Bowen's handwriting. They were in Zhang Chen's."

"How can you recognize Zhang Chen's handwriting? Is it ugly?" Zhuang Xuefeng wondered.

Liu Jun shook his head. "On the contrary, his handwriting is surprisingly good. I went to Yude to present a banner and saw Zhang Chen's essay. They say that handwriting reflects a person's personality. The sharp corners of those words are like the handwriting of those scribes in government agencies who want to record a meeting quickly and well. If it wasn't Zhang Chen's handwriting, I would have suspected that Sister Song from our unit copied it."

"How could he give Wang Bowen advice? Hey, it's not surprising. When we had dinner together, he was the one who proposed the concept of the cultural festival to you. At that time, we thought it was something planned by Wang Bowen."

Liu Jun nodded. "If it was planned by Wang Bowen, why were all the notes in Wang Bowen's manuscripts filled with Zhang Chen's notes? You can also say that Zhang Chen played the role of secretary. But for such a project to let Zhang Chen, who was a sophomore at the time, participate deeply is itself telling."

Zhuang Xuefeng nodded, "This child is quite interesting."

Liu Jun said, "If you want to invest, then invest. You are in the investment business anyway. Instead of investing far away, it is better to invest in something close to us. We can observe it conveniently and have a clear idea of it."

"That's right." Zhuang Xuefeng nodded.

Listening to her parents talking about Zhang Chen's family in the front seat of the car, Zhuang Yanyue was a little distracted. She was wondering what kind of person Zhang Chen was.

He seems to be an ordinary high school student, but with his well-written essays, dark horse grades, stunning cultural wall posters, creative cosplay and those ideas... just like the garden I saw today, every time I get along with Zhang Chen, I can always feel the novelty of the twists and turns.

and also……

Zhuang Yanyue's eyes were filled with light and dark as the car reflected the lights outside the window.

Was he really...

"Yanyue!"

"Yueyue...!"

Her parents' voices broke her immersion.

Then she turned around and saw that the car door was open. The car had already arrived at the garage. Liu Jun was standing outside, looking at her strangely.

"What are you daydreaming about?"

"Oh!" Zhuang Yanyue stood up and got out of the car quickly, her movements covering up the blush around her ears, "No, no!"

After returning home and entering her room, Zhuang Yanyue stared at the table in a daze. Suddenly, she picked up the "Golden Question Test Paper" on the table, spread it out, and started doing the questions.

Outside in the living room, Zhuang Xuefeng muttered, "Why is the little princess not in the right state? Today, when we talked about Zhang Chen's family, which she cares about the most, she was distracted."

Liu Jun asked, "Hasn't she been with Zhang Chen all day? Did they have a fight?" Zhuang Xuefeng glanced at the door. "How could that be? Zhang Chen seems quite stable. Why would he have a fight with her?"

Liu Jun asked again: "Did you bully her?"

Zhuang Xuefeng shook his head decisively: "That's even more impossible!" He looked at Liu Jun's expression again and said, "Hiss!" "Are you talking about that kind of bullying?"

Liu Jun remained calm and said, "I'll go take a look!"

Zhuang Xuefeng pricked up his ears and heard Liu Jun go straight upstairs and open Zhuang Yanyue's door.

"Do you want to eat some fruit? Oh, you...are doing the test paper..."

Soon Liu Jun came down the stairs and said incredulously, "Your daughter is doing the test paper! It seems there is a misunderstanding!"

Zhuang Xuefeng said cheerfully: "Oh, seize every moment, you have grown up, and you are different in the third year of high school!"

……

Not long after, Rongcheng Business Daily and Metropolitan Daily published reports on the establishment of Xuhui Company. Because it was Chen Xuran's real estate company, it attracted much attention. After being published in the newspaper, it caused quite a stir.

After the previous day's newspaper was published, Zhang Chen and Wang Shuowei went out to find something to eat after evening self-study and walked to the newsstand. At this time, there would be a circle of newspapers outside the newsstand, including the metropolitan newspapers and business newspapers with good sales. Now is the real estate boom period again, and many newspapers have special pages for the real estate industry.

Many people even buy newspapers just to get this information.

So the newsstand owner cleverly placed the "Rongcheng Real Estate" page in the most conspicuous area.

The two saw the report about Xuhui Real Estate at a glance, "This top female anchor in Rongcheng has started a business!"

"The female boss of Xuhui Company promised to build high-quality housing that ordinary people can afford in the future!"

Wang Shuowei poked Zhang Chen, "Your mother is in the newspaper!"

The two bought newspapers with relevant reports and took them home to read, but the portraits of people on them were all of Chen Xuran. Naturally, Chen Xuran had his own popularity and traffic. Only in the text reports below would there be reports such as "Huang Huifen, general manager of Xuhui Real Estate, said..."

After all, there is no photo of my mother.

Even so, Zhang Chen still found it unbelievable. Last year, who would have thought that Chen Xuran and Huang Huifen would start a real estate business?
The news that Chen Xuran founded a real estate company spread in the streets and alleys of Rongcheng, and even people discussed it in local forums. Of course, there were many speculations about Chen Xuran's background. The scandal of a beautiful host has always been the most popular among the general public.

Of course, her partner Huang Huifen was naturally overlooked.

After seeing the discussion on the forum, although Zhang Chen didn't care about the entrepreneurship between Huang Huifen and Chen Xuran, he couldn't help but want to see the impact of Huang Huifen's remarks.

Newspapers will have a column for citizens to reply to letters, which usually targets hot topics in the previous two issues and will have a lag.

On the afternoon of the third day after school, Zhang Chen bought a related newspaper from a newsstand outside the school and read the letter-to-citizen column of the current issue.

This issue of the newspaper is about the letters received in response to the hot news that Xuhui Real Estate was established the day before yesterday.

Zhang Chen returned to the classroom with the newspaper and unfolded it.

The first article published in Metropolitan Daily was a letter from a retired teacher: "Dear editor: I am excited to see the boutique housing plan reported in your newspaper! The idea of 'butler service in the community' and 'community college' proposed by this female entrepreneur is very forward-looking. Our generation has experienced the collective life in the tube-shaped building and knows the importance of a good community atmosphere. It is suggested that traditional culture such as opera and calligraphy be included in the community college curriculum to improve spiritual civilization and material life simultaneously."

"I am a worker in a car repair shop. Recently, my colleagues have been discussing 'affordable boutique houses'. But I did some calculations: according to the 500 yuan/㎡ fine decoration standard promised in the report, in the south of the city, according to the current housing prices, an 30-square-meter house would be sold for at least 1200 yuan, but the monthly salary of the technical backbone of our factory is only yuan. Will the so-called 'butler service' be a disguised form of charging high property fees? I hope that the relevant departments will strengthen supervision and inspection to see if the fine decoration standard is a disguised form of collecting money."

"I am a student at the Normal University. The "community book corner + skills training" model proposed by Mr. Huang is exactly the research topic of our social work major. I sincerely ask the newspaper to help me. I hope I can intern in this project during the summer vacation and witness the ideal come true."

"As a mother of two children, I am particularly concerned about the positioning of community colleges. I suggest opening childcare classes and parent classes simultaneously, so that housewives can also learn practical skills such as computers. In addition, I hope that developers will fulfill their promise of 'reserving 30% small apartments' to truly solve the housing problem for young families."

The letters published in the newspapers must have been screened, and they reflect the concerns of different classes about their respective interests.

But the overall reaction is still the positive expectation for Xuhui Real Estate's promise to build houses.

However, Zhang Chen did not expect that it would cause such a response. He originally thought that it was just a small fight between Huang Huifen and the other person. It seems that the impact of Chen Xuran's celebrity effect in the local area has exceeded his expectations.

But it is not a good thing to attract attention at the moment, because the more attention you get, the more people will pay attention to your promises. Zhang Chen knows that the promises made by his mother are all idealistic things. In this era, it is difficult to make progress...

But there is no other way. The stall has been set up and we can only take it one step at a time.

In fact, Zhang Chen didn't have time to worry about people paying too much attention to these things. A few days later, the new real estate page began to introduce the declaration of another real estate company in great detail. It was almost like exaggerating the concepts mentioned by Huang Huifen and promoting them again.

But this time it is more high-end. People also need to learn from Singapore's public housing model. While building high-end commercial housing, they also build rental apartments for low-income groups to truly realize "housing for all".

Compared with Huang Huifen's butler model, it appears to be more professional. The entire butler team has professional qualifications such as first aid, so that they can respond promptly to sudden illnesses of elderly people living alone at night. With reference to the Hong Kong housing estate management model, a standardized service process is established before delivery.

Zhang Chen looked at the company called "Yipin Real Estate" and thought to himself, wow, it is indeed the top real estate company in the future, and it is showing its exaggerated style at this time.

Yipin Real Estate later became the number one in Rongcheng. The company was founded in 98 and was already on the rise. However, due to the changes in the times, the boss went bankrupt and the company faced various debt problems.

However, in the following ten years, it still dominated the local real estate circle in Rongcheng.

Unexpectedly, it lived up to its reputation. Seeing that her mother Huang Huifen's idealistic remarks had attracted social attention, Yipin Real Estate immediately used them, and with stronger marketing and publicity, it became its own thing. I'm afraid that before long, no one knew that this set of ideas originally came from Huang Huifen.

What is this... a luck deprivation technique?

This boss is really good at having fun!
