Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 325 Jiang Zong's Personal Real Estate Consultant

Gong Yu's dinner party at Tan Family Cuisine lasted until after 9 p.m. Jiang Qing listened to him talk for almost the entire time, while spending most of the time tasting the dishes.

Throughout the meeting, Gong Yu remained enthusiastic, and the conversation revolved around iQiyi's key future projects, exploring the possibility of deeper cooperation with Wuwen Technology.

Jiang Qing responded appropriately, maintaining a necessary distance without letting the atmosphere become awkward.

He himself didn't care, but thinking of those girls, he still did some pretense.

After all, they will inevitably have to deal with these platforms in the future.

As the car finally drove away from the hotel and merged into the dazzling traffic of Beijing, Jiang leaned back in the back seat, rubbing his throbbing temples. The fatigue from the intense social interactions was no less than that from tackling technical challenges.

Over the next two days, Jiang Qing once again plunged into the familiar battlefield of the intelligent driving R&D zone at Xiaomi Science and Technology Park.

Although the core algorithm framework has been established, transforming the theoretical model into an engineering system that can run stably on complex real roads is another tough battle.

Jiang Qing led Xiaomi's engineering team, optimizing code line by line, repeatedly adjusting parameters, and simulating coping strategies for various extreme scenarios. The whiteboard in the meeting room was filled with writing and then erased, and the amount of coffee consumed was astonishing.

On the morning of the third day, a team of five core members from the project team jointly developed with Xiaomi, dispatched by Wuwen Technology, arrived at the science park on time.

Leading the group was Zhao Qiming, a key technical expert whom Jiang Qing relied on. He was calm, capable, and also Jiang's senior from USTC.

After a simple welcoming ceremony, Jiang Qing immediately convened a meeting with key personnel from both sides.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was pragmatic and efficient.

"Qiming, this is a record of all our core model iterations, road test data, and a list of seventeen key corner cases we have encountered over the past two weeks."

Jiang Qing pushed a thick stack of documents over.

"Chen will send you the technology stack and development environment documentation from Xiaomi later."

Zhao Qiming quickly flipped through the pages, his eyes focused.

"Understood, President Jiang. The basic framework and core ideas are very clear. Our people will get up and running quickly to familiarize themselves with the environment, and we will strive to take over completely within three days."

Jiang Qing nodded, her gaze sweeping over the members of both teams.

"The implementation and optimization of the subsequent projects are now your responsibility. Xiaomi will provide full support with its hardware platform and testing resources. Qiming will be in charge of overall technical coordination. If we encounter any truly difficult problems..."

He pointed at himself.

"Contact me anytime."

"understand!"

Both teams spoke in unison, full of enthusiasm.

Seeing that Zhao Qiming had already begun to whisper with the technical lead from Xiaomi about the details, Jiang Qing knew that she could let go of things here for the time being.

He quietly got up and left the conference room, leaving the space entirely to the engineers who were working alongside him.

Just as I returned to the temporary office, my phone rang. It was Jing Tian.

"Hey?"

"Are you done?"

Jing Tian's gentle voice came through the receiver.

"The production team is pressing me hard, so I have to fly to Hengdian this afternoon."

"Yes, the preliminary arrangements here are complete."

Jiang Qing walked to the window and looked at the hurried crowds in the science park.

"What time is your flight? I'll give you a ride."

"No need, you have a lot of things to do too. Your assistant can drive me there."

Jing Tian considerately refused him.

"By the way, you can continue living in this house. It's just sitting empty anyway, and it's close to your workplace, so it's convenient."

Jiang Qing pondered for a moment.

Jing Tian's suggestion was good, but after thinking about it, he realized that staying with Jing Tian all the time was not a long-term solution.

"Tian Tian".

He called her name gently.

“I appreciate your kindness. However, I plan to find a place to stay in the capital for convenience.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Jing Tian's knowing laugh, tinged with a hint of teasing.

"Oh? So Mr. Jiang is planning to settle down in Beijing? Well, that makes sense. He should have his own place."

"Okay, have a safe trip, let me know when you arrive safely."

"Okay, don't overwork yourself."

Jing Tian gave a word of advice and then hung up the phone.

After putting down her phone, Jiang Qing immediately dialed Chen Duo's number.

"Chen Duo, could you help me find information on large apartments and private detached villas in prime locations in Beijing that are suitable for owner-occupancy? Please compile a list and send it to me. The property should be move-in ready, and a minimalist or modern Chinese style is preferred."

"Understood, Mr. Jiang. I'll start screening right away."

Chen Duo's response was crisp and efficient.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qing called Jiang Nan again.

The phone rang several times before being answered, and the background noise was a bit loud.

"Brother? I'm in class!"

Jiang Nan's hushed voice came through.

"Do you have class this afternoon? If not, come with me to look at an apartment."

Jiang Qing got straight to the point.

"Looking for houses?!"

Jiang Nan's voice suddenly rose, then she quickly lowered it again.

"You want to buy a house in Beijing? Wow! You've finally figured it out? Wait! I'm sneaking out right now! See you at the West Gate of Tsinghua University!"

Before Jiang Qing could answer, the call was disconnected.

Jiang Qing chuckled. This girl's fiery personality hadn't changed at all.

An hour later, at the west gate of Tsinghua University, Jiang Nan flew over like a light butterfly.

She was wearing a simple white sweatshirt and jeans, carrying a canvas backpack, with no makeup, her long hair tied in a neat ponytail, exuding youthful energy.

"Brother! Tell me quickly! What's your budget? Which district do you want to buy in? How big is it?"

As soon as she got in the car, she eagerly asked questions, her eyes sparkling.

"There's no budget limit, we'll see what we like first. Chen Duo has prepared a few disks, let's go take a look."

Jiang Qing started the car.

"Alright! I'll take care of it!"

Jiang Nan immediately pulled out her phone and started typing furiously.

"Send me the information, I'll check the developer qualifications, past property reviews, and surrounding infrastructure plans for these properties... Oh, and I also need to look at the plot ratio and greening rate! We don't need the school district right now, but it's still a factor in preserving value..."

Jiang Qing shook his head and chuckled as he looked at her excited expression.

During the subsequent house-hunting trip, Jiang Nan completely transformed into "President Jiang's personal real estate consultant and chief fault-finding officer".

The first stop was a high-end, single-level apartment located near Chaoyang Park.

The well-dressed real estate agent enthusiastically introduced the unbeatable 270-degree view, imported bathroom brands, smart home systems, and more...

"Excuse me."

Jiang Nan suddenly interrupted him, pointing to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the model room.

"What brand and series of glass do you use? What is the Low-E parameter? What is the K value? Do you have a specific decibel test report for the sound insulation performance? In Beijing's smoggy days, the airtightness of the exterior windows is crucial."

The agent's smile froze for a moment, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Well... I need to check the specific technical parameters..."

"besides."

Jiang Nan walked to the air outlet of the fresh air system.

"What is the filtration level (H) of the fresh air system? Is it the highest level for residential use? What is the heat exchange efficiency? What about the power consumption? Please provide a list of filter replacement cycles and costs."

She turned to look at Jiang Qing.

"Brother, air quality directly affects your health, especially for someone like you who often stays up late."

Jiang Qing suppressed a laugh and nodded.

"Well, that makes sense."

The agent frantically flipped through the folder, his smile faltering.

He knew he'd met his match!

The second stop was a top-tier high-end residential area on the East Third Ring Road.

The agents emphasized the importance of exclusive circles and privacy.

Jiang Nan stood in the center of the spacious living room, looking around.

"The ceiling height is indeed good. However, could you show me the location map of the load-bearing walls? Is there a neighbor's house behind this wall? Has the sound insulation of the wall been professionally tested? Does the impact sound insulation of the floor slabs between apartments meet the standards? I don't want to be able to hear a spoon falling from upstairs at night."

The agent wiped his sweat.

"Miss, our project is positioned as high-end, and the soundproofing materials are all top-of-the-line..."

“Even top-tier companies need data to support them,” Jiang Nan said bluntly.

"In addition, what specific services are included in the property management fee? How is the shared energy consumption calculated? What is the power and sustainable power supply time of the backup generator? Is the security system self-built or outsourced? What is the surveillance coverage and storage duration?"

intermediary:"……"

He began to question the meaning of life.

I spent the whole afternoon on the go, looking at five or six top-tier luxury apartments.

Jiang Nan went all out, asking about everything from the building structure, building material parameters, electromechanical systems, intelligent integration, property service terms, and even feng shui orientation.

The once confident top salesperson was now as dejected as a wilted eggplant, stammering as she answered questions, and looking at Jiang Nan with eyes full of awe.

Jiang Qing mostly listened quietly, observing the layout, lighting, view, and details of the house. Occasionally, when Jiang Nan asked a particularly tricky question, she would silently mourn for the real estate agent.

In the evening, they arrived at Panhai Shijia, located on the west side of Chaoyang Park.

I'm looking at a ready-built apartment in a high-rise area, 350 square meters.

As Jiang Qing pushed open the door, her eyes lit up.

The spacious living room connects to large floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing the golden rays of the setting sun to flood the entire space without any obstruction.

The interior design is minimalist modern, with clean and crisp lines, using sophisticated gray, off-white, and natural wood tones as the main colors, without any unnecessary decorations.

The open-plan kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line Miele appliances, the master suite is spacious and bright, and the walk-in closet and bathroom are rationally and humanizedly laid out.

"Brother, this is good!"

Jiang Nan also showed a rare expression of satisfaction.

"The space is spacious, the view is unbeatable, and the decoration style matches your aesthetic; it looks refreshing. I've checked, and Oceanwide's property management has a top reputation in Beijing, and the materials used are solid."

She leaned closer to carefully inspect the hardware on the doors and windows, the seams of the floor, and the flatness of the walls. She then went to check the water pressure and drainage speed of the faucet and finally nodded.

"Hmm, this set of interior decoration is acceptable; the details are handled well."

Jiang Qing strolled slowly through the house, feeling the flow of space and the city view outside the window.

The location offers convenient transportation and a quiet oasis amidst the bustling city.

He walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the capital city as the city lights began to twinkle, and made up his mind.

"That's it."

He turned to the real estate agent who had been cautiously following behind him and had become somewhat numb from Jiang Nan's "interrogation."

The agent was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

“Yes, yes! Mr. Jiang, you have excellent taste! This house…”

"price?"

Jiang Qing asked directly.

"Uh... the owner listed it for fifty-eight million, but..."

"Fifty-five million, full payment, paid in one lump sum."

Jiang Qing was straightforward.

"If possible, sign the letter of intent now."

The agent gasped, stunned by the decisive and efficient approach.

He quickly realized what was happening and suppressed his excitement.

"Mr. Jiang is so agreeable! I...I'll contact the homeowner right away! It shouldn't be a problem!"

While the agent was on the phone, Jiang Qing looked at Jiang Nan.

"Shall I buy you one here too?"

Jiang Nan waved her hand dismissively.

"No way! I'm perfectly fine in my dorm at school, it's close to the library and I'm with my classmates. Your place is so far from Tsinghua University, so if I occasionally come over for a meal or to take refuge, just leave me a guest room to sleep in! But..."

Her eyes darted around, and a sly smile appeared on her face.

"The room decor and bedding must meet my standards! I want unparalleled comfort!"

Jiang Qing smiled and nodded gently.

"Fine, do whatever you want."

The homeowner quickly and readily agreed to the price.

After signing the preliminary purchase intention agreement and paying the deposit, Chen Duo naturally took care of the subsequent procedures.

As I stepped out of the gates of Oceanwide World, it was already completely dark.

The brother and sister found a well-reviewed Sichuan restaurant nearby and had dinner there.

During the meal, Jiang Nan chattered away, planning what kind of beanbag chair she would put in her future "private room," where to install the projector, and even what snacks she would keep in the mini-fridge. Jiang Qing listened with a smile, occasionally putting food on her plate.

After dinner, Jiang Qing drove Jiang Nan back to Tsinghua University.

He watched as his younger sister jumped out of the car full of energy, waved goodbye to him, and ran into the brightly lit campus before turning the car around.

He didn't go back to Jing Tian's house, but instead dialed Chen Duo's number again.

"Chen Duo, let's go take a look at that detached house in Lijing now."

"Now? Mr. Jiang, it's already dark..."

"Yes, right now. It's too crowded and noisy during the day; it'll be quieter at night."

Jiang Qing affirmed.

"Okay, I'll contact the agent right away and wait for you at the entrance of the villa area."

Forty minutes later, the car entered the Lijing Villa District, located on the banks of the Wenyu River.

The area boasts an extremely high green coverage rate, wide and quiet roads, and villas of various styles nestled among dense trees, offering exceptional privacy.

The agent was already waiting at the agreed intersection; it was the same one from the daytime, leading the way on his electric scooter.

The car eventually stopped in front of a Chinese-style villa with a private courtyard.

The courtyard walls are high, and the black-lacquered gate exudes solemnity.

Pushing open the heavy courtyard gate, a meticulously maintained Chinese courtyard comes into view, with winding paths, artificial hills, and several pine trees standing tall and majestic under the courtyard lights.

The main building of the villa features a dignified new Chinese style, with blue bricks and gray tiles, and simple and elegant lines.

Upon entering the interior, the nearly 800-square-meter space suddenly opens up.

The high-ceilinged hall has huge floor-to-ceiling windows that face the exquisite garden in the backyard.

The interior design continues the new Chinese style of the facade, with dark solid wood furniture, elegant wallpaper, and exquisite wooden lattice partitions, perfectly blending traditional charm with modern comfort.

The space is rationally planned, with clear separation between active and quiet areas, and every detail reveals exceptional taste and exquisite craftsmanship.

Jiang Qing walked slowly through the house, while the real estate agent quietly introduced the intelligent security system, ground source heat pump, whole-house water purification and softening facilities, etc.

He paid particular attention to the layout and orientation of the bedrooms. The master suite has a separate, extra-large terrace with excellent privacy, and when you open the window, you can see a tranquil courtyard and the shadows of trees in the distance.

It's quiet and private enough here, maintaining just the right distance from the hustle and bustle of the city.

"price?"

After Jiang Qing finished looking at the last room, she stood in front of the master bedroom window, gazing at the quiet night outside, and asked a question.

"The owner's asking price is 125 million..."

The agent cautiously quoted the figures.

"One hundred and twenty million."

Jiang Qing turned around, her tone completely calm.

"It's also full payment. If you're interested, let's sign the contract now."

The intermediary's heart was once again shaken.

He has been in the industry for many years and has seen many wealthy customers, but it is rare to see someone like him who looked at two houses and spent nearly 200 million yuan in less than a day, and made such a decisive decision.

"Okay, Mr. Jiang! I'll contact the homeowner right away! It should... it should be fine!"

The agent's voice trembled slightly.

The contract was signed smoothly.

When Jiang Qing signed his name on the thick stack of documents, he knew that the two completely different "caves" in the capital city were now basically completed.

The Pan-Ocean Family operates in the open, while this one operates in the shadows.

A complex emotional life requires enough flexibility to navigate.

After the agent left, Jiang Qing was left alone in the huge villa.

The modern Chinese-style decor appears exceptionally tranquil and elegant under the night lights.

He went up to the second floor alone and entered the master bedroom.

Pushing open the glass door to the terrace, a cool night breeze in early April rushed in, carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees.

In the distance, the city lights flowed like a galaxy on the horizon, while here, there were only the chirping of insects and the sound of the wind.

He leaned against the balcony railing, took out his phone, and swiped through his contacts, finally stopping at a name.

The call connected, and all I heard was a "beep...beep..." ringing tone.

A few seconds later, the call was answered, and a slightly hoarse, familiar voice came through, like a feather gently brushing against the eardrum.

"Hello? Jiang Qing?"
