Chapter 521 Investment and Enjoyment

Zhang Jin explained: "Don't worry, I won't play with you. My orientation is normal. And this 100 million is not Happy Beans. If it were Happy Beans, I wouldn't have so many."

"What do you mean if there aren't so many Happy Beans? What you said makes people feel like Versailles." Lei Qiu couldn't help but complain.

"You rich second generation, don't call me Versailles." Zhang Jin was speechless.

"Don't say that I am just a second-generation rich man. Even a rich man like my father cannot talk about one hundred million so casually." Lei Qiu rolled his eyes, leaned forward, and whispered, "Hey

, Seriously, where did you get so much money? I remember that the demolition of your house was only 10 to 20 million, right? Did the money come from a legitimate source? Don't harm my sister when the time comes."

"Of course it's legitimate. I'm transferring money to you, not giving you cash. What are you afraid of!"

"I really don't dare to introduce you to my sister until you make it clear." Lei Qiu kept shaking his head, "We are good brothers. You can cheat me, but my family can't."

Zhang Jin opened his mouth and wanted to give the other party a good explanation, but finally gave up. A lie must be supported by countless lies. He was too lazy to lie to his good brother, so he raised his glass and said: "Forget it.

I won’t bother your sister anymore. You can help me ask your sister which companies and institutions in financial investment banks are more reliable. Introduce a few to me and I can go find them."

"Hey, that's a good idea. I'll take the time to ask my sister for you." Lei Qiu clapped his hands in agreement, raised his glass and took a sip.

The two drank and chatted until half past ten in the evening.

Zhang Jin first drove Lei Qiu home, and then took a taxi back to his residence.

Even Lei Qiu was not drunk with this amount of beer, and it was even less likely that Zhang Jin would be fine. After returning home, he took a shower first, then lay on the bed and browsed the web on his laptop.

Putting the investment aside for now, he learned some things about the old bungalow from Lei Qiu. Lei Qiu's father also bought an old bungalow before. Later, when the industry was in recession, he sold it for capital turnover.

Both the purchase and sale were handled by the same real estate agent.

"Zhou Peimin, senior manager of Anjia Real Estate, specializes in old house sales consultation and repair services." Zhang Jin murmured.

The owner of the photo on the webpage is a young man in his thirties, wearing a plaid long-sleeved shirt and a knitted sweater. He wears glasses and has short hair. He looks more like an academic than a real estate agent.

.

After looking at the other party's information, I discovered that he actually had a master's degree in architecture from Tongji and had changed careers. He had also published two books on old bungalows, analyzing old bungalows from the perspective of architectural expertise and cultural background.

"People are playing with antiques, and you are playing with old bungalows. It looks like this." Zhang Jin found it very interesting.

He took out his mobile phone and added the other party's WeChat account as a friend. After about half an hour, he was approved.

After some small talk with the other party, Zhang Jin finally learned some facts about the old bungalows in Shanghai.

There are only 4,000 to 5,000 old bungalows in the capital, 95% of which are owned by the state, and only more than 200 are privately owned. Among these private old bungalows, no more than one has clear property rights and can be traded.

Hundreds of buildings.

These 100 old bungalows are basically the objects of transactions in the old bungalow industry in Shanghai. Most of the owners of these old bungalows will not resell them after buying them. Currently, there are only about 20 active transactions on the market.

Therefore, the buying and selling of old bungalows is basically a matter of chance.

But as long as you buy an old bungalow, you will never lose money if you resell it again. As an investment, it is very stable.

Of course, this investment is expensive and not something that ordinary people can afford.

Cheap old bungalows cost tens of millions. Generally, the normal price is around hundreds of millions of yuan, while the expensive ones can even reach one billion.

Based on the price per square meter, the unit price of an old bungalow is as high as 500,000 to 600,000 yuan, which does not include the cost of redecoration, maintenance and garden renovation after purchase.

After some understanding, Zhang Jin also accepted Zhou Peimin's invitation and prepared to participate in an old house viewing event in a few days. It is said that this is the first old house project that may be sold this year.

After settling the matter about the old house, Zhang Jin sent a message to Brother Hao, a boss introduced by Lei Qiu who specializes in selling luxury cars, and asked him to meet tomorrow to discuss buying a car.

This Brother Hao used to be the sales director of Lei Qiu's father. He already made millions a year ten years ago. Later he resigned and went to Shanghai to run a luxury car dealership, specializing in providing various luxury car purchases and repairs to wealthy bosses and rich second generations.

, only does business with acquaintances, and is relatively well-known in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. I have never had any problems buying cars from him.

Zhang Jin is a person who is quite afraid of trouble, and he doesn’t know much about luxury cars. In the Xihong City dungeon, he would have people from the group arrange everything with just a few words, and he would use money to solve troublesome matters.

Save money, worry and effort.

So even if Lei Qiu said that buying a car from Brother Hao would be 10% more expensive than elsewhere, he didn't care and just regarded it as a service fee for the other party to help him solve his troubles.

Although it is said that after the dungeon ends, the system will modify the player's memory and emotions, but that is only to prevent the player from being too addicted to the dungeon, but it will still have an impact on some living habits and other aspects.

It's as if Zhang Jin has spent more than ten years living as a wealthy person in the world of Xihong City, and his concepts of consumption, investment, etc. have changed a lot from before.

In the past, when he got rich, he would first choose to buy a house, office building or shop, and would never invest in stock funds. Firstly, he did not understand it, and secondly, he did not trust the relevant financial institutions.

However, after experiencing the world of dungeons in Xihong City, his concept of investment and financial management has changed. Although he is still buying a house, he has upgraded it from an ordinary commercial house to an old house. Although he still knows little about stock funds, he is willing to believe in the relevant information.

Formal financial institutions use these financial traders to help them keep their assets from shrinking due to inflation.

Zhang Jin believes that these subtle influences exist. If he enters a replica world of antiques in the future, he may invest in antiques after he comes out.

Now that he has money, he still follows the habit in the Xihong City dungeon world when it comes to buying a house, buying a car, investing in finance, etc., which is to first see if he likes it or not, and then look at the price.

After negotiating the old house and buying a car, Zhang Jin turned off the lights and took a rest.

The next day, Zhang Jin did some exercise in the morning, and after lunch, he took a car to Brother Hao's private car dealership.

This car dealership is located at the junction of Minhang and Songjiang districts. After leaving the main road and turning into a small street, you can see the main entrance a few hundred meters away.

After Zhang Jin got off the car, he saw a young man in his twenties standing at the door. He should be the Xiaoyue that Brother Hao mentioned.

Xiaoyue also saw him, smiled and greeted him: "Hello! Are you Mr. Zhang?"

"Yes, it's me. Hello, are you the Xiaoyue that Brother Hao mentioned?" Zhang Jin shook hands with the other party.

Xiaoyue nodded and asked the guests to go in: "It's me. Brother Hao has already told me, come in, I will take you to see the cars. Do you have any favorite brand models?"

“I don’t have any particular favorite, as long as it’s not too business or formal, it’s fine.”

Zhang Jin followed Xiaoyue into the car dealership and discovered that there was something special inside. From the outside, the high walls were actually stands. There was a fairly short track inside, which looked quite professional.

"Your car dealership actually has a racing track?" He was a little curious.

Xiaoyue explained with a smile: "Brother Hao likes cars and has formed a team of his own. Didn't he recently go to Gansu to participate in a rally? This racing track is a place where the teams usually practice, and it can also be used by car owners to try it out.

performance.

You see, here is a straight-line acceleration track, there are big curves, there are continuous hairpin turns, and after passing that bridge, there is an off-road field blocked by the woods behind, which is very suitable for test driving off-road vehicles."

Zhang Jin nodded. It was indeed a merchant recommended and praised by Lei Qiu. It looked extraordinary.

The large exhibition hall next to the track is where the car dealers park their vehicles. The exhibition hall is an all-metal floor-to-ceiling glass structure, and the vehicles inside can be clearly seen from the outside.

Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Maybach, Bugatti...all are luxury car brands at first glance.

"Why are there no BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi?" Zhang Jin asked.

Xiaoyue explained: "These three brands are also available, but because they are regular brand models, most of our buyers will not ask for a test drive, so they are not displayed and are kept in the garage."

Okay, it means that rich people are used to cars from the three major brands!

Zhang Jin didn't say anything. He followed Xiaoyue around the exhibition hall, which was about the same size as a football field. He listened to the introduction of each brand and model, and made a decision in his mind.

Bentley and Rolls-Royce, which are calm and elegant but too formal and businesslike, were excluded. Ferrari and Lamborghini were also excluded because they had too eye-catching personalities. As for other Bugattis, Maybachs and the like, he had never driven much, naturally.

Won't choose.

In the end, he chose the Aston Martin DBS Roadster, his favorite car in the Xihong City replica world.

This model has enough personality without being ostentatious. It has a beautiful appearance and high performance. The interior is simple and comfortable. If it is less, it will be too empty, and if it is too much, it will be too messy. It perfectly hits his aesthetic point.

The most important thing is that the price is not expensive. You can buy one for less than five million.

This is exactly within Zhang Jin's consumption value range. Five million to buy a car like this is already the upper limit for him. Cars exceeding five million are a matter of opinion for buyers.

, it is no longer simply buying a car, but buying other values ​​attached to the vehicle. In addition to the serious car tax, there is also the IQ tax of consumerism.

"There happens to be an Aston Martin DBS convertible in the garage. The exterior color is silver gray. If you like it, we will pick up the car now." Xiaoyue browsed on the computer, raised his head and said to Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin nodded: "I quite like the silver gray one, so this is it."

Silver gray is not as formal and businesslike as black, nor is it as bright and conspicuous as red, yellow, or blue. It is calm with a hint of spontaneity and elegance!

"Okay, please follow me." After Xiaoyue placed the order on the computer, he took the key and led the way.

The two of them came out of the exhibition hall and walked through the corridor at the back door to the garage.

Only then did Zhang Jin realize that this car dealership was much bigger than he had imagined. He couldn't help but wonder: "Xiaoyue, your place is really big. Didn't you spend a lot of money on rent?"

"I don't know about this, but I heard from Brother Hao that this place was originally a factory owned by his boss. Later, the factory moved, and he rented this land to drive, covering hundreds of acres.

"

"Is this boss willing to rent several hundred acres of land to him?" Zhang Jin knew that this boss was probably Lei Qiu's father, but he didn't expect him to be so generous.

"Hey, who knows, maybe it's just empty when you see it, so you can use the waste." Xiaoyue said as he led the way to one of the cars in the garage, lifted the cloth covering it, and opened it with the key.

car door.

"Come up together, I'll drive the car out first, and then you can try it out on the track."

Zhang Jin opened the car door and got in. After fastening his seat belt, Xiaoyue quickly drove the car out of the garage, bypassed the exhibition hall and drove into the track from the road next to it.

Xiaoyue first drove the Aston Martin convertible along the road, and after running most of the road, he returned to the parking area next to the straight track in front of the exhibition hall and stopped the car.

"Come and try it." He said, got out of the car and changed seats with Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin sat in the cab, holding the steering wheel with one hand and the gear lever with the other, and a familiar feeling came to his mind.

Afterwards, he skillfully drove the convertible car for two laps on the track. He felt very good, as if he had returned to the dungeon world of Xihong City.

"Xiaoyue, I want this car. When can all the procedures be completed?"

"If the transaction is completed today, it will be just in time for the license plate auction this month, which will be completed within two weeks. The temporary license plate can be on the road within a month and will not affect your use of the vehicle." Xiaoyue replied.

"Then go and pay." Zhang Jin was very satisfied.

After a busy afternoon, Zhang Jin finally drove home his Aston Martin convertible sports car with a temporary license plate.

In the next few days, he has been cooperating with Xiaoyue in the auction bidding of official license plates. Xiaoyue is very familiar with this aspect. Zhang Jin only needs to provide some documents and accompany him on the trip, so there is no trouble.

While Zhang Jin was waiting for the license plate auction on Saturday, Zhou Peimin, who had been quiet these days, suddenly sent him a WeChat message, telling him to come to Changle Road on Friday and that he would wait for him at the entrance of Lane 512 and take him to visit the old town.

Bungalow.

Zhang Jin immediately responded to the message saying yes. Friday was the right time and he had nothing to do anyway.

Two days later, Zhang Jin drove a convertible sports car to the vicinity of Lane 512, Changle Road. He searched for a long time but couldn't find it. If he hadn't seen Zhou Peimin standing on the street, he would probably still be wandering around the street.

After parking the convertible, he got out of the car and walked towards the other party.

"Manager Zhou, hello, hello! I'm Zhang Jin, I've contacted you on WeChat."

"Hello, Mr. Zhang! You are welcome to participate in this event. Please go to the coffee shop next to you and sit for a while. Several colleagues are coming. At ten o'clock, we will officially visit the old bungalow." Zhou Peimin smiled.

It is elegant and warm, making people feel very comfortable.
