Cao Mo opened the car window and let the cool morning breeze blow on her face, feeling the familiar breath that lingered at her fingertips even after months of separation.

Kanem, Benin and Akwa are all close to the equator, and even during the rainy season, the weather can be sweltering.

Although the air pollution in Xinhai has been more serious in recent years, the four seasons are distinct, especially in the autumn when the sky is high and cool, and the chest is the most dripping; compared with the spring when the flowers are blooming, the Xinhai after the autumn is driving on the airport avenue, and the color level of the green belt has gradually become distinct, gorgeous, and more atmospheric.

Soon drove on the elevated outer ring road, Cao Mo was in good spirits and could intuitively feel that the focus of Xinhai City's development and construction in recent years was mainly the space between the middle ring road and the outer ring road.

As far as the eye can see, there are new buildings under construction wrapped in scaffolding and green safety nets.

As a well-developed urban area within the Central Ring Road, there are many real estate projects rising from the ground in the past, but compared with the buildings under construction on the Outer Ring Road, the new buildings within the Central Ring Road are much smaller in scale.

This is mainly the urban area within Central, and now there are some fragmented plots left to be developed, and another important reason is that the unit price of new commercial buildings in Central has generally soared to 24,500 per square meter.

This also makes a high-rise residential construction land with a scale of more than 100 acres in Central, the land price is as high as about two or three billion, and in order to encourage more developers to participate in the auction, the city is naturally more inclined to break up the land for auction.

In addition to the news of "real estate price reduction smashed sales center" published by Xinhai Evening News, you can see many new real estate banners hanging price reduction promotions all the way through, which is enough to show that the bank shrinkage caused by the subprime mortgage crisis has made domestic real estate developers deeply feel that the cold winter is coming.

Cheng Xi's family is wealthy, her life circle is relatively simple, and she usually doesn't care about the property market, so she knows that her mother's stock investment has suffered a lot recently, and she doesn't dare to provoke her mother recently.

Outside of his usual life circle, Cheng Xi has been working in the international department of Xinhai Union Bank since graduation, and he can still feel the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis more or less.

Of course, among so many commercial banks in China, the strongest international business is still the Bank of China.

For example, Tianyue's remittance, collection, letter of credit and other settlement business are all opened in Bank of China, and at present, if you want to find an international loan, you are also looking for cooperation with the Export-Import Bank.

As a regional joint-stock bank, Xinhai Union Bank's international business is really limited, and it is unlikely that Cheng Xi will deeply feel the subprime mortgage crisis in his actual work.

If it weren't for Ge Jun's reminder, Cao Mo would have been completely indifferent to the subprime mortgage financial crisis two months ago.

"How can you make a plane at night, can you rest well on the plane?" Mrs. Cao knew that Cao Mo would arrive in Xinhai in the early morning, so she got up early and prepared early, always feeling that there was really no room for her to play in the early morning, and complained that Cao Mo didn't know how to cherish her body, so she took a flight at night.

"There is no direct flight, and you have to transfer in the middle, which is the most time-saving, otherwise you will have to delay an extra day on the road...... "Cao Mo wants to general

The itinerary is controlled within 24 hours, and the last stop of the flight to Xinhai is basically a night flight, and he chooses to take the first class cabin of a large passenger plane, which will not affect his rest at all.

As for whether the accompanying staff in economy class will be comfortable, he has to think about it so much, how can he bear to exploit their surplus labor in the future?

Although it was a weekend, Jiaying had to go to school after returning to China, and she wanted to restart the operation of Wood Elephant Capital, and after breakfast, she drove to Caida Pioneer Park——

Cao Mo was about to ask Cheng Xi how they would pass the time next, whether they were shopping or going to the movies, when Yu Jing's phone call came in, asked Cheng Xi where she was, and asked her to hurry up and send the dress over.

"What dress?" After Chengxi hung up the phone, Cao Mo asked curiously.

"Today, a classmate got married, and I promised to be a bridesmaid for others, but the day before yesterday you suddenly said that you wanted to return to China, so I temporarily asked Yu Jing to replace me - I forgot to give Yu Jing the bridesmaid dress. Cheng Xi took Cao Mo and rushed to the nearby public underground parking lot, drove to the house rented by Yu Jing and Chen Chang, and sent the lake blue bridesmaid dresses over.

"Last night, you said that you would send me the dress first, why did you go to the airport to see Cao Mo first, how sober you are usually, what kind of ecstasy did Cao Mo pour you and forget about it?" ”

"What nonsense, I went to the airport with Jiaying at six o'clock, aren't you afraid that you won't wake up at that time?" Cheng Xi patted Yu Jing.

"By the way, will you take Cao Mo to attend Zhou Shan's wedding later?" asked Yu Jing.

"Are you going?" Cheng Xi tilted his head and asked Cao Mo.

"You don't need me to be polite, follow you to eat and drink, of course you have to go, you don't know how thick-skinned I am. Cao Mo joked.

"Zhou Shan, you've seen it, she applied for a job with me after graduation, but the relationship is not as close as mine to Yu Jing - her husband also has a relationship with our bank, and he is the son of one of our vice presidents......" Cheng Xi looked at Cao Mo with wide moving eyes and said seriously.

"Ah......h

Cao Mo was slightly stunned.

Both men and women who are married have a great relationship with Xinlian Bank, especially the man's parents are also the vice president of Xinlian Bank - this means that there may not be anything at the woman's banquet at noon, but in the evening, the man's wedding banquet is attended by many leaders and employees.

In this way, if he wants to go to the wedding with Cheng Xi, it is not as simple as eating and drinking.

"I actually have a very general relationship with Zhou Shan, I was pestered by Zhou Shan before I agreed to give her a companion, and I finally found an excuse to push the matter on Yu Jing's head, I don't really want to go to the wedding banquet - just let Yu Jing help me bring the gift money. Cheng Xi said quietly.

Looking at the look of anticipation in Cheng Xi's eyes, Cao Mo was reluctant to let her feel lost, and said with a smile: "It's all courtesy, how can you not eat, that's a great loss! I'm thinking, you must have a lot of people in the unit to covet it, I follow you in this dress, I don't know how many cool words I will listen to, will I buy two Rolex to wear first? I must also buy a gold watch, who has run away."

Talking about the wind and coolness, with a roll of his sleeves, he blinded his dog eyes!"

In early autumn, it's the time to dress indiscriminately.

Cheng Xi got up early and went with Jiaying to pick up Cao Mo, and put on a thin sweatshirt, but Cao Mo rushed back from the tropics, and the half-cut jeans and T-shirt were also comfortable.

"You definitely can't wear it like this, it seems that my vision is too bad!" Cheng Xi said with a smile, "Anyway, the hard work is all pushed to Yu Jing, we will be responsible for eating and drinking today, and we will go to the mall to buy you a dress later......"

The rainy season in West Africa is long, humid and humid, and Cao Mo usually does not wear formal clothes, nor does he prepare formal clothes to put moths in the kitchen;

Yu Jing is slightly shorter than Cheng Xi, she usually needs to wear loose clothes, and she can't see how hot her figure is, and when she walked out in Cheng Xi's tailor-made low-cut dress, Cao Mo couldn't help but be dumbfounded and said: "If you wear it like this, the bride must think that you smashed the field in the past!"

"Take care of your man......" Yu Jing said angrily to Cheng Xi.

At this time, Chen Chang rushed back early with the one he had just bought, and when he saw Yu Jing like this, he also laughed at her for being inappropriate for children to wear like this.

The bride is a colleague and classmate with Cheng Xi, and a classmate with Yu Jing, but she has nothing to do with Chen Chang; Chen Chang will not participate in the wedding.

Cheng Xi made an excuse and pushed the bridesmaid's errand on Yu Jing's head, not wanting to be seen by the bride Zhou Shan and having an opinion, so she couldn't pull Cao Mo to drive Yu Jing to the makeup place to meet.

Seeing Yu Jing take an early and hurried taxi to leave, it was still early, Cao Mo was not in a hurry to go to the mall to pick up clothes, sat down and asked Chen Chang: "I heard Cheng Xi say that you just bought a house, what are the better new properties in Xinhai that are worth recommending?"

Chen Chang asked curiously: "Why are you asking this, isn't your house not enough to live in? You don't want to prepare a wedding house with Cheng Xi, then you can't come and ask me - I gritted my teeth and made a down payment of 500,000 yuan, and the house is only 70 square meters, I choose the community of the house, can you and Cheng Xi catch a look?"

"I am not in a hurry to consider the wedding house for the time being, I may invest in this piece when I come back this time, but I am not familiar with the domestic property market, and I want to find a few typical real estate projects to see first...... Cao Mo said.

After Cao Mo's family moved into the new house in Tianzifang, the old house on Xikang Road was also renovated and renovated - Cao Mo did not consider whether the house at home was enough to live in, nor did he consider that he wanted to move out to live, but he had read a lot of information on the domestic real estate market before, including a number of investigation reports made by the professional team of Tianyue Investment, but his intuitive feeling of the domestic property market was not very deep.

When he came back this time, he always had to pick a few typical real estate projects in Xinhai and nearby cities to run a trip to feel the current property market atmosphere on the spot, so that he could officially talk about cooperation with Ding Zhaoqiang.

In the past few years, Chen Rong has reduced his personal holdings of shares in listed companies to 2.5%, and invested all the cash-out funds into Dongsheng Real Estate, currently holding 4% of the shares of Dongsheng Real Estate, and is also one of the main shareholders of Dongsheng Real Estate in addition to the Ding family.

At present, Dongsheng Real Estate is experiencing a debt crisis, Cao Mo can help, of course, it is impossible to stand idly by, but there are interests in this that he can fight for, and he will not stop fighting because he is ashamed......
