Huayu 1995

Chapter 285 Marital Property (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After the staff meeting, several smaller meetings were held to discuss the annual development of Dream Realization and Dream Home.

Su Chao was as busy as a headless fly.

Dream-Fulfilling Advertising Company is troublesome.

Due to the nature of its business, the company lacks a comprehensive system.

There aren't even any full-time employees.

The management was also in complete chaos.

This year, things can't continue like this; everything must be standardized.

Especially with the company splitting into an advertising department and a film and television production department, the old system is no longer viable.

Hiring is a must.

Su Chao handed the matter over to Sister Hong, and asked Lin Zhimeng, the top student, to help out.

With a venue available for the training course, they were finally able to put their skills to good use.

Guo Xiaofeng plans to run a performance class, two English training classes, one art exam preparation class, and one martial arts class.

Training courses should also be standardized.

Finances need to be made clear.

Input, output, whether it can make money, and how much money can be made—Guo Xiaofeng, as the manager, needs to give Su Chao an explanation.

Of course, Su Chao couldn't just spend his tuition fees as casually as before.

Even when withdrawing money, accounting must be done.

Su Chao talked to Guo Xiaofeng for a long time.

Subtly and gradually, we instilled the New Oriental model in him.

Su Chao was a trainer in his previous life.

Guo Xiaofeng has a thorough understanding of the New Oriental model and the development of this industry, and he has so much advice to offer that he might overdo it.

Realizing the promising future of what he was doing, Guo Xiaofeng left as if he were moonwalking.

Go public!

He felt he was being too conservative; how could two English training classes be enough?

We need at least twenty!
Alternatively, the class size could be increased by combining the two classrooms into a larger class of 100 students.

However, what we are actually doing right now is intensive training for art exams.

Recently, a large number of art students have flocked to Beijing.

The Beijing Film Academy will hold its entrance exams the day after tomorrow.

The three universities will stagger their schedules, and some people will even register for all three universities.

If you pass both exams, choose one to attend.

Go to the places where these people gather and hand out some flyers. Most of them will spend two hundred yuan to come here for some intensive training.

There are only three classes in total.

It was resolved in half a day and wasn't too expensive.

No one was worried about Su Chao's art exam a few days later.

Even Lin Zhimeng couldn't be bothered to care about him.

"Mengmeng, aren't you going to ask me about my exams in a few days? What if..."

Su Chao put his arm around Lin Zhimeng's waist, letting her lean against him, while he leaned against the desk.

"Shut up. If you can't pass the exam, no one can. Close the door..."

Lin Zhimeng almost bit her tongue.

He angrily stomped on Su Chao's foot.

The office door wasn't completely closed, and someone could push it open and come in at any time.

Su Chao smiled and closed the door, locking it from the inside.

Thor's first reaction wasn't to tell him to let go, but to say that the door wasn't closed.

They're just...so cute.

Lin Zhimeng was extremely annoyed and now wanted to run away.

"Sister, let's talk about that painting."

Su Chao didn't continue to hug her, lest Lin Zhimeng become angry and might ignore him for several days.

He pretended nothing was wrong and got down to business.

But Lin Zhimeng still felt awkward.

They were embracing just now because they were worried that the door wasn't closed properly and someone would see them. Now that the door is locked, if someone finds out, even if they didn't do anything, it'll look like they're trying to hide something.

It's better to leave the door half-open.

However, her attention was quickly drawn to what Su Chao was saying.

"Do you have any idea?"

“The advertising company can only come up with one million at most. We three need to chip in another million. I need to contribute 700,000. After that, I’ll be basically broke. If all else fails, we can just forget about the painting.”

Su Chao and Lin Zhimeng don't need to beat around the bush.

"It's alright, you don't need to share the risk..."

Previously, Lin Zhimeng did not believe that Tang Yin's "Jinshan Scenic Spot Map" still existed.

However, as Su Chao's appreciation skills gradually improved and his description of the painting became clearer, Lin Zhimeng found it difficult to let go of it.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't convince the boss to let me take you with me."

Su Chao sighed.

Hypocritical...

"It's okay, some people do have strange tempers."

Lin Zhimeng couldn't blame Su Chao.

"Sis, if it really is a fake, I'll give myself to you. You can sleep with me however you want..."

Su Chao felt he was still worth around a million.

"Shut up, you!"

Lin Zhimeng threw a mint at Su Chao from the small table.

Actually, there was an ashtray right next to her; it would hurt more to hit someone with that, but she couldn't bear to do it anymore.

"I'll go pick up the painting tomorrow."

Su Chao had many ways to increase the value of 128 million yuan to a level comparable to that of the "Jinshan Scenic Spots Map" over the next thirty years, but Lin Zhimeng was an antique enthusiast.

He wants to reciprocate when others are kind to him. Otherwise, he'll really be seen as a kept man.

“If it’s fake, I’ll bear the loss. If it’s real, then the 64 yuan can be considered a loan to you, and we can still jointly own the painting.”

Lin Zhimeng rarely takes advantage of Su Chao.

She always felt that Su Chao was a younger brother.

"It's not impossible, after all, we're family, and it's our joint property."

Su Chao did not refuse.

Lin Zhimeng picked up the ashtray, but put it down in the end.

She really couldn't bear to part with it.

The next day, Su Chao drove to the location of the random store.

Just like last time, nothing has changed.

The painting is still on display in the store.

Product Information: "Map of Jinshan Scenic Spots"

Creator: Tang Yin
System overall evaluation: Unknown

Creation start date: October 6, 1508

Release date: August 17, 1508

The rating is unknown. It's impossible for a song to be rated 9, while something of this national treasure level can only be rated 10, so the system simply doesn't give a rating.

It was created in 1508.

This can actually be used as one of the criteria for determining authenticity.

Moreover, the system certified the author as Tang Yin.

Su Chao had absolutely no reason to doubt that the painting was a fake.

The 128 million yuan in the account was all turned into so-called charity funds after Su Chao confirmed the purchase.

Su Chao has now donated 400 million yuan in total.

It feels like there's an endless supply of money to be had.

Fortunately, the system has agreed to allow him to establish a charitable foundation.

However, the annual management fee cannot exceed 1% of the donations, and not a single penny of this money can be spent on him.

Furthermore, any project invested in by the charitable foundation must not create any investment-related interest relationship between Su Chao and himself.

This shattered his wishful thinking.

He originally planned to invest five million in a project with his charitable foundation and then invest another five million with his own money, in order to reduce risk and increase his influence.

Unfortunately, the system clearly knew what he was thinking.

Charitable foundations cannot invest in any projects that he has invested in.

vice versa.

If he lets the charity invest in Penguin in the angel round, he can't invest in Penguin himself until the charity withdraws its investment.

However, Su Chao had nothing to complain about.

If he invests in Penguin with his charitable foundation, even if he can't spend the money he earns, as a major shareholder of Penguin, he can still act tyrannically.

Moreover, if the foundation's donations reach 10 billion—as a visionary reborn individual, Su Chao felt that 10 billion was not a difficult thing to achieve.

The annual management fee could then reach 1 million.

It doesn't matter if Su Chao can't spend the 1 million; he can appoint Lin Zhimeng to the management team.

The money eventually ended up in his hands.

Tianjin is very close to Beijing, and Su Chao returned at noon.

Lin Zhimeng spent the whole morning anxiously waiting for Su Chao at the store entrance.

Firstly, it involves a transaction involving a huge sum of 128 million.

Even though she frequently collects antiques, she rarely deals with such high prices.

It is 1996 after all.

Secondly, she still had high expectations for the "Jinshan Scenic Spots Map".

What if!
What if it's true?

It's like some people buying lottery tickets; they know the chances of winning are extremely slim, but they still hold onto the hope.

After each purchase, I have to carefully consider how I would spend the money if I won a big prize.

In addition, she was worried that Su Chao had encountered a scammer.

It's okay to be scammed, but don't let yourself get hurt in the process.

If you can afford to buy a painting for over a million, it's not unreasonable to kidnap you and then have your family pay another million to ransom you, is it?
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Su Chao's car approaching.

"How about it?"

As soon as Su Chao parked his car, she went over and carefully examined him.

I was relieved to find that he didn't have any bruises or swelling on his face.

"I've got it back. Come and take a look. If it's fake, you can get a full refund within seven days, no questions asked."

Su Chao raised his chin.

The things are right there on the passenger seat.

"Seven-day no-questions-asked refund?"

Lin Zhimeng didn't get this reference to later generations; she just thought Su Chao was talking nonsense.

"If it's fake, we can give you a refund. Let's go, let's get it appraised together."

Su Chao closed the car door, holding the scroll in one hand and leading her upstairs with the other.

Lin Zhimeng carefully placed the scroll on the table after completing the preliminary preparations for the appraisal.

There was something underneath.

Now it's time to see if it's real or fake.

"Let me calm my heart, I'm so nervous."

Lin Zhimeng has many good things, but none of them can be called national treasures.

"Cough cough..."

Isn't it too much of a test for cadres to breathe in and out like that?

Su Chao simply couldn't concentrate on looking at the painting.
