Chapter 638 Love in Water City

On the fourth day after arriving in the island country, according to the original itinerary plan, Chen Li should be preparing to head to Hong Kong Island at this moment.

But as the boss, Chen Li has complete control over this trip.

After all, he went to the port city just to escape and relax.

The reason why I went to Hong Kong City to escape and relax was because relatively speaking, staying there would be much more comfortable than staying in a foreign country.

But now Chen Li had other goals, so he naturally changed his itinerary accordingly.

As for his decision, it is naturally impossible for others to object.

In fact, both Zhang Ruolan and Wu Minyi knew very well that Chen Li came out this time to hide from some people.

If it weren't for this reason, Chen Li probably wouldn't have come to the island country.

Therefore, regarding Chen Li's reason for temporarily changing his itinerary, others only thought that Chen Li would continue to hide and was not even willing to go to Hong Kong City.

Needless to say, Zhang Ruolan, as a personal assistant, she has to be where Chen Li is.

And to be honest, for her as an assistant, this business trip was quite comfortable.

Mainly because this trip is not a business trip, and besides, the boss Chen Li is also very generous.

Every time he goes on a business trip, Chen Li always gives people around him a certain share of the shopping fund. The size of the money generally depends on how much benefit the business trip brings to the company or to Chen Li, the boss.

So far, the largest bonus Zhang Ruolan received was when she followed Chen Li to Hong Kong City.

As an assistant, she went to Hong Kong City with Chen Li in order to settle a sum of funds.

At that time, Chen Li waved his hand and gave Mu Xiaoqing a bonus of three million US dollars. Even her entourage also received a shopping fund of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.

However, Zhang Ruolan did not use the money for shopping, but bought a house.

Zhang Ruolan learned this from Chen Li, because Chen Li often mentioned that housing prices in Yanjing City would soon rise.

Zhang Ruolan has been able to work as Zhou Bowen's secretary for so many years and as Chen Li's assistant, so her ability and vision are certainly not bad.

If someone else often says this to their boss, they might think that the boss is complaining.

But in Zhang Ruolan's ears, this might be an opportunity.

So now Zhang Ruolan, Sister Zhang, owns four houses in Yanjing City, all of which were purchased in full.

Uh~ Okay! In fact, at this time, it is not popular to buy a house with a loan in China.

Not to mention that people who want to buy a house are unwilling to take out a loan, some real estate developers have not even opened up channels for getting a loan to buy a house.

Of course, there are fewer and fewer of these people now, and words like down payment, installment, and loan are becoming the daily life of ordinary people.

However, Zhang Ruolan belongs to the high-income group, at least for now, she doesn’t need any loan at all.

And not only that, her house purchase was even approved by Chen Li, and she said that if she needed help, she could go to him directly.

It was this sentence that not only strengthened Zhang Ruolan's confidence in continuing to buy a house, but also made her full of expectations for her future.

Hmm~ Actually, it’s strange!

Chinese people seem to be born with an obsession with buying houses and land.

Whether it is the older generation or the young people of the new era, this kind of behavior is almost engraved in everyone's bones.

Chen Li remembers a very nonsense topic in his previous life, which was whether to buy a house or a car first!

The reason why Chen Li thinks this topic is nonsense is mainly because in his opinion, it is a bullshit topic?

If you can only buy one thing, then you must buy a house first?

After all, you have a home only if you have a house!

As for the car, it’s not a necessity at all, right?

Well, of course, Chen Li was still relatively young at that time, and his life was actually very average. Anyway, he was not at the point where he needed a vehicle.

However, even if Chen Li is doing well, he will still think that he must buy a house first!

Chen Li remembered that there was a forum that held a poll on this issue, and then the number of people who voted to buy a house first was as high as 58%.

What? 58% is considered high?

Oh my god~ You know, this is a car forum, and people are doing this poll to promote a certain car.

To put it bluntly, that vote was definitely done behind closed doors, but even the car forum, which was operated behind closed doors, did not dare to put the option of buying a car first in the lead.

After all, they know very well that if "buy the car first" really comes out ahead, their vote will become a joke.

In addition, in the voting post at that time, a lot of people's comments were about buying a house first. When the results come out, buying a car first will win. That is nonsense.

Of course, Chen Li also has to admit that for some people, buying a car first is indeed more practical than buying a house first.

But to be honest, people who are in urgent need of vehicles usually do not do too badly.

In other words, for this kind of people, the difference between buying a house first and buying a car first is just a matter of time.

Just like Master Cheng!

As Chen Li's personal driver, Master Cheng actually owns a Xiali.

The main reason why he bought this car was because when he used to drive for Zhou Bowen, he would often work late.

At that time, there was definitely no public transportation, but taking a taxi for many years would naturally be expensive.

So at that time, Master Cheng and his wife discussed it and bought a Xiali as a means of transportation.

Of course, Master Cheng can actually use Zhou Bowen's bus. But in fact, the reason why Master Cheng is valued by Zhou Bowen as his driver is because Master Cheng has an upright character and is unwilling to take advantage of the company.

So, this thing is actually a drink and a peck!

But here’s the problem~ As a driver, even if it’s Zhou Bowen’s driver, his income can only be considered pretty good.

After buying a Xiali, I didn’t have enough money to buy a house in Yanjing.

Of course, in the eyes of Master Cheng and his wife, this is actually no problem.

After all, if they can save a car, they can also save a house.

It's a pity. What they didn't expect is that as time goes by, the price of cars has not changed much, but the housing price has undergone earth-shaking changes.

To be honest~ If Master Cheng had not followed Chen Li, Chen Li would not even know whether this previous life bought a house in Yanjing.

Of course, there is a high probability that I bought it. After all, the profession of driver was definitely a high-income group in the early days.

But even if they bought it, Chen Li estimated that in his previous life, Master Cheng's family probably spent all their family savings to buy a house.

After all, the Zhou family also collapsed in the previous life. I wonder what kind of job Master Cheng found later?

Of course ~ this is the past life, as for now!

Not to mention draining his savings, the shopping bonuses that Master Cheng received from several business trips with Chen Li were enough to buy a house.

In fact, he actually bought it, and even became neighbors with a certain apartment that Zhang Ruolan bought.

And all of this actually has a lot to do with Chen Li.

To put it bluntly~ Zhang Ruolan, Master Cheng, and even many people in the company all have a special obsession with buying a house because of Chen Li's influence.

Including Su Mei~Deng Weimin~Ren Xiaobo and others, even though some of them no longer work in Yanjing, their behavior of buying houses has not stopped.

The most exaggerated one is the new deputy general manager Zhang of the food company this year. It is said that he spent almost all his salary to buy a house.

In daily life, food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc. are almost all paid for and reimbursed by the company!

Logically speaking, such behavior should actually make the boss Chen Li dissatisfied.

But this Vice President Zhang is definitely a good person. Even when he takes advantage of the company, he doesn't hide it behind closed doors, but takes advantage of it generously.

Manager Su Mei and Su mentioned this matter several times, but in the end, Vice President Zhang took the bill directly into the boss's office.

And the most speechless and puzzling thing happened, the young boss Chen Li actually signed.

Although Chen Li was heard scolding Vice President Zhang in the office at that time, he still signed the word in the end.

This made Zhang Ruolan think for a long time before she figured out the twists and turns. Finally, her consciousness told her that the future of Vice President Zhang was absolutely unlimited.

As for the reason, it seemed particularly simple after Zhang Ruolan figured it out.

Because Vice President Zhang has no problems at all in terms of work, except for taking advantage of the company in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Even this person relied on his own ability to directly lead the people to conquer the entire East China market.

Based on this alone, Vice President Zhang’s contribution is not inferior to Su Mei, General Manager of the food company.

You must know that although Su Mei is diligent, the development of the food company under her leadership can only be regarded as steady development.

Of course, a big reason for this is the company's early development plan, but many people still think that Vice President Zhang's ability exceeds that of General Manager Su Meisu.

This is actually not surprising~Su Mei and Xiao Zhang were actually halfway through becoming monks.

But the difference is that Su Mei was a teacher at first, and after joining Ideal Fried Chicken, she directly became a manager.

But Xiao Zhang is different. This guy started out as a beer girl in Sichuan Province. Bah ~ a beer sales guy. Later, because of his encounter with Chen Li, he was favored by Deng Weimin and promoted to assistant.

After becoming Deng Weimin's assistant, he followed Deng Weimin through his ups and downs, and his experience can be said to be quite rich.

And the biggest difference between him and Su Mei is that Su Mei started at a very high level, but although Xiao Zhang was promoted equally quickly, he had accumulated experience at the grassroots level for a long time.

Therefore, when it comes to market development, the former Xiao Zhang, who is now Deputy General Manager Zhang, is more capable than Su Mei!

But ability does not mean everything. It only means that Xiao Zhang's completion of something is better than Su Mei's.

But in terms of vision and the upper limit of certain things, Vice President Zhang’s experience cannot catch up with General Manager Su Meisu even if he is a flatterer.

For example, Vice President Zhang encountered some troubles when he was exploring the East China market.

At that time, Vice President Zhang was so troubled by these things that he had no idea how to solve them. In the end, he had no choice but to call Su Mei for help.

Then Su Mei spent half an hour making a few phone calls, and went to an uncle's house for a meal, and these matters were resolved.

And not only that, in terms of the company's long-term planning and operations, Su Mei's abilities surpassed Vice President Zhang, who had always been a small figure before.

Just like classmate Xiao Zhang deliberately put some of his little information into Chen Li's hands, Su Mei would never do it.

It’s not that she couldn’t think of this, it’s that she didn’t bother to do it!

The development trajectories of two people are different, and their lives will naturally be different.

Therefore, the general manager of Ideal Food is still Su Mei, not Vice President Zhang.

Of course ~ with future development, maybe one day Vice President Zhang can become a truly independent boss, but what will Su Mei be like at that time?

Uh~ Okay, it seems to be a bit far.

The reason why these people are mentioned all the time is that these people are influenced by Chen Li and are particularly keen on buying real estate.

These people are all keen on buying real estate, let alone Chen Li!

He even plans to buy a property in the water capital of the island country.

Yes~ today, after Chen Li canceled his trip to Hong Kong City, he took a group of people around the island country.

The reason why I say wandering around is because Chen Li said that he doesn't like bustling metropolises like Tokyo.

Compared to Tokyo, Chen Li prefers Kyoto or some other small cities with beautiful scenery.

So, after understanding what Chen Li meant, Chiba Nako, who continued to serve as Chen Li's accompaniment on this trip to the island country, gave some options.

In fact, according to the original plan, after Ideal Agricultural Products and Sakurako Yasuda reached a cooperation, Chiba Nako was going to return to the company to report.

It's just that Chen Li's temporary change of schedule disrupted the other party's plan, but this is just a minor matter.

In fact, Sakurako Yasuda hopes that Nako Chiba will gain more favorability with Chen Li, not only to lay a foundation for future cooperation between the two parties, but if it can make Chen lose his temper less, it will be very worthwhile.

After all, when someone loses his temper, the most he can do is make amends and apologize.

But Chen's temper often caused price increases.

But Sakurako Yasuda has big plans, and she can only compromise on many things without giving up.

So after Chen Li asked to continue letting Nako Chiba serve as an escort, Sakurako Yasuda agreed directly with a wave of her hand, and dispatched two commercial vehicles and supporting drivers to listen to Nako Chiba.

And Chen Li’s next trip surprised Chiba Nako!

Because~Chen Li did not choose famous tourist cities such as Osaka~Sapporo~Kobe, but chose a coastal city.

Water city!

The reason given by Chen Li is very "sufficient". It is said that it is because of a song sung by Karen Mok, a Hong Kong singer whom Chen Li likes very much.

"Love in the Water City"!

It is said that Chen Li liked this female singer very much, so he was very interested in the water mentioned in the title of the song.

So Chen Li and his party set out from Tokyo and then arrived in Shuidu.

Of course~ what Chiba Nako and others don't know is that the reason why Chen Li chose this place is not because of "Love in the Water City" but

A little secret!
