Chapter 23: Riverside
Regardless of whether it is a straw bag or not, Fan Liancheng only has some theoretical experience in business anyway, which is certain.
Being a rich second generation is actually stressful.
If you do it well, others will say that you are elevated on the basis of your predecessors, and you can't count your true skills, and you can only call it powerful from scratch.
If you don't do it well, you will be unlucky, and you must have the title of "loser", and others will say that you can still fail with such a rich family foundation, and you really can't afford to support it.
It's not like working in a café, at most he just spoiled some coffee beans or received a counterfeit bill, in fact, Fan Liancheng is also very sad at this time, and can only pray that his own Lao Tzu had better not have an accident and deal with the current trouble as soon as possible.
Confidence is confidence, but in the face of a group of old foxes who have been crisscrossing the mall for many years, Fan Liancheng is really not sure, and it may be difficult to even contend with them, let alone settle them.
He still has this point of his own.
Spit out a puff of smoke, hardly smoke on weekdays, and start to get dizzy after just two mouthfuls.
Fan Liancheng saw that in his yard, a big king was running away quickly, and asked a very boring question with a smile: "My dad raised this thing with koi, so he wasn't afraid that those beautiful big fish would become rations?"
"Every day they are fed alone, and when they are full of pork and beef, they don't bother to hunt with their own mouths, and these carp are all alive and well, and rarely swim to shallow waters, anyway, I have never seen a big koi fish eaten. ”
Assistant Liu Zhenlong is fine today.
Boss Fan has other secretaries and assistants, and no matter how bad it is, he can ask other executives to help him drive, and the only request for him this morning is to settle Fan Liancheng, so he is blatantly lazy at the moment.
Seeing that Fan Liancheng was interested in these animals, Liu Zhenlong added to his liking: "There are horse races on the golf course, and there is also a small herd of sika deer, which is similar to decoration, and should be considered legal to breed." I heard that there are people abroad who raise tigers and leopards, we can't do this, the year before last, someone gave your father a beautiful parrot, I heard that it could not be raised without a license, so it was sent to the zoo, and it would say over and over again that the boss made a fortune, in fact, it was very pleasing. ”
"I went to see deer in my free time, I learned golf as a kid and won championships in school tournaments, and now I give it all back to the coaches. I don't like parrots, those guys don't get close to people, but it's a shame that you don't have a dog in such a big yard. ”
"I have a friend who runs a kennel, and I will help you get it tomorrow if you want what breed you want. ”
"Really?"
Fan Liancheng was a little moved, and then shook his head and said: "I'll think about it first, and I'll talk about it next time......"
I didn't ask my old man what the case would end up with, it was better to talk to my father about these questions in person, go downstairs to eat something first, and then go out in the car, planning to walk around like a tourist.
It happened to be the rush hour after work, even the luxury cars were stuck in the traffic, sitting on the spacious seats in the back row of the phantom, chatting with Assistant Liu from time to time, quietly remembering the names of places such as the City God Temple, Old Street, Yu Garden, etc., and planned to take advantage of this time to come back and go all for a visit.
As for business districts, squares, etc., except for those that are run by himself, Fan Liancheng is not interested, there are many shopping malls around Imperial College, and he has long been tired of seeing the same department stores.
The first place to go is, of course, the Bund.
Today, Friday, there were a lot of people, most of the people standing on the riverside to take pictures were outsiders, the car was parked in the underground garage of the Peace Hotel, and soon after walking, Fan Liancheng followed the crowd to the riverside.
Looking behind you, there are Western-style buildings of different shapes, one of which has a large bell, and it happened that at seven o'clock in the evening, the bell rang.
On the other side of the river, Fan Liancheng saw apartments that were said to be selling for as much as 131,000 square meters, and in addition to it, there were also high-rise buildings, where the landmark TV tower towered, and because the buildings were not completed, the lighting was only average.
Assistant Liu pointed to the other side and told:
"The company rented three floors of the Jin Mao building with a spire as an office building, and not far from the high-rise building, there was a small building, which was the headquarters of Dragon City, but it was not visible from here.
Mr. Fan he is quite entangled, the company has a piece of land in its name, many people want to buy it, in 2004 after winning the construction has been wanting, even the design drawings have been done, but I am afraid of spending too much money, the profit is not as good as building a house, the company is quite divided within the company. Your dad wants to have a building and hang the company sign on it so that everyone can see it, but the rent is not high compared to the investment, and the tallest building has not been fully rented out yet. ”
"After looking at the few pieces in the family's collection, I know my dad's personality, and it should be very difficult for him to choose between limelight and profit. After all, the painting can only be hung at home to see by itself, and if the building is built in the central business district, more people can see it, and if it is me, I will also be tempted, and it is naturally more attractive for real estate developers to skyscrapers. ”
After listening to Fan Liancheng's words, Assistant Liu smiled: "A thousand years ago, your father went to Jinmaoli to talk about renting a building, and at that time he ruthlessly said that when he got rich, he would also build a building to collect rent, and I stood next to him. Eight years ago, at that time Longcheng was just a small company, after building a building near Hongqiao, the price was 3,801 square meters, people thought the airport was too noisy, and they didn't want to buy it, Mr. Fan was almost in a hurry to resell it all at a low price to another real estate company, and even the preparations for running away after bankruptcy have been made, and it's really interesting to think about it now. ”
No one has ever told Fan Liancheng about these things, but he only has a slight impression of this, when he was a child, his parents were really busy for a while, going out early and returning late every day.
It's just that he was still young at that time, and he didn't even know what pressure was, let alone help solve problems.
"Could it be that building an office building over there is my father's dream?"
Assistant Liu rarely hears the word "dream" from the mouth of adults, and in his own case, the most extravagant thing is just to earn more money, work steadily, raise his son as an adult, and live a comfortable life in the future.
He hesitated for a moment and replied to Fan Liancheng:
"Maybe, anyway, I often hear your father mention that piece of land, I only know that he admires a Hong Kong businessman surnamed Bao very much, and he also wants to become a charter company, whether it is a dream I don't know, anyway, if you can build a high-rise building there, Mr. Fan can have a lot more to talk about at the wine table. In fact, since I took that piece of land, it has appreciated a lot of money, I think if necessary, I can earn more from other places, and in the end he will still sell it, the price of nearby land has risen wildly, the cost of taking land is getting higher and higher, and the price of building materials and labor is also rising, if you build a building, the cost is too high. ”
Fan Liancheng nodded and didn't say much.
Not far away on the river, a small white yacht sailed by, and at the bow stood several men dressed in black.
I can hear someone pointing around me, and I say with admiration and envy that it's good to be rich, Fan Liancheng doesn't have any idea, he just feels that compared with when he came when he was a child, the surrounding environment is indeed much more beautiful, and the scale of the buildings on the other side of the river has also become considerable.
Turning around and walking back, he said: "The company has a shopping mall near here, right, I've seen it in the information, accompany me to buy a mobile phone, get a card, and it's best to buy a laptop, since it's all money, you should always support your own business......"
