Chapter 544: Changes in Everyone's Mindset
The event, which was rewarding for everyone, ended before 9:30.
After returning to Jiang Wen's home from Pudong, the two sisters had not yet gone back to their room to rest. Instead, they were watching TV series in the living room, each holding a snack.
"What TV show are you watching so seriously?"
"We are following "Capital Love Story" and "Palace Lock and Bead Curtain", both are super good, we can't catch up."
Jiang Xue was more lively and rushed to reply Luo Yang: "Brother-in-law, I heard that you invested in "Capital Love Story", why don't you let it be broadcast at the same time as "Palace Lock and Bead Curtain"? My sister and I have to switch back and forth between the two TV stations."
There is a hint of charm in her cute and naive expression, and this girl was born with peach blossom eyes.
"Oh, has Capital Love Story started airing already?"
Luo Yang didn't pay much attention to this information.
Because he didn't invest much money in this TV series, it's not that he was unwilling to invest more, but his network resources limited his investment.
In comparison, he invested more in the TV series "Kintaro's Happy Life", so Fengshang Men's Wear and Cool Men's Wear won the sponsorship of men's wear in this TV series.
He put on his slippers and walked to the sofa. He reached out and scratched Jiang Xue's nose, then said with a smile, "I invested too little money. I am a small shareholder. How can I be in charge of when this TV series will be broadcast?"
"Ah, I thought my brother-in-law could make the decision."
When the little girl saw Luo Yang sitting down, she immediately changed from a duck-sitting position to a kneeling position, moved to Luo Yang's side, and held his arm.
He glanced at his sister and found that she was busy making tea, so he leaned close to Luo Yang's ear and whispered, "Brother-in-law, do you think I can become a star if I go to film a movie?"
Wow, Jiang Xue actually wants to be a movie star.
Luo Yang was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "How much did your sister tell you?"
"I know everything anyway."
Jiang Xue said with a smile: "Brother-in-law not only invests in TV dramas, but also movies. I heard that he is making movies now. Not only did my sister tell me, but Sister Jinglan also said a lot."
I forgot that Shen Jinglan and Jiang Wen often go shopping together on weekends, and this girl follows them, so she must know a lot of things.
"Have you told your sister about this?"
Jiang Xue, who was originally positive, immediately stopped talking about this topic when she saw her sister coming over with a teacup, but this also told Luo Yang the answer.
"What are you talking about? It's so mysterious?"
"Hehe, I just asked my brother-in-law why he didn't miss the broadcast time of the two TV series, so we don't know which one to watch."
Jiang Xue leaned in Luo Yang's arms affectionately and responded with a smile: "As a result, my brother-in-law told me that the investment was small and I couldn't take care of this matter!"
"Stop it, you damn girl!"
Jiang Wen had an expression that said, "Guess whether I believe this or not."
Although she didn't believe it, she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she started chatting with Luo Yang: "I went shopping with Senior Sister Shen last week, and she told me that you asked her to change her job?"
"You guys talk about everything."
Since the two of them have been in constant contact, this matter must not be hidden from Jiang Wen: "I plan to open a club and let her try it out. Start as an assistant and see if I can train her up."
"Alas, when the medical beauty industry was established, I was thinking about whether I could call Senior Sister Shen to the company to help me, but I didn't expect that you would arrange it first."
Jiang Wen sighed and frowned, "I'm getting anxious now. What will I do if I don't have a trustworthy helper around me in the future? I've been thinking about this at night lately, and the more I think about it, the more panicked I get."
While she was saying these words, Luo Yang was actually observing quietly.
Luo Yang didn't believe that a woman who could even drag her own sister into trouble hadn't yet sensed that there was something different between him and Shen Jinglan.
But in front of him, Jiang Wen seemed to know nothing.
“Leave professional matters to professionals.”
Since Jiang Wen pretended not to know, Luo Yang had no reason to point it out, so he comforted her, "Like me, the group has so many subsidiaries, involving many industries, and I don't understand all of them, but after finding professionals to manage them, I only need to control the overall strategic development direction."
"I'm not like you. I don't have that kind of business talent."
Jiang Wen leaned on Luo Yang's shoulder and said slowly: "You gave me a milk tea shop at the beginning. If it weren't for an excellent store manager, I don't know what to do. This is only a few hundred thousand investment. If the medical beauty industry is turned into a chain, it will be hundreds of millions of assets."
"Tsk, you make it sound like you were born to enjoy a holy body and can't stand the slightest bit of busyness."
Luo Yang teased her, "It didn't seem like you spent much effort to take me down."
Jiang Wen became shy and twisted her body unwillingly, saying, "No, I didn't. It was obviously you who took me in because you felt sorry for me. Now that I think about it, the best hunters are often the ones who disguise themselves as prey. I was fooled by you."
"Hahaha"
This sentence was said by Luo Yang himself, and now it is used here by Jiang Wen, which is quite appropriate.
So he laughed and picked up Jiang Wen: "Let's see who is the prey tonight!"
Seeing this scene, Jiang Xue immediately chased after them: "Brother-in-law, sister, I want to play the hunting game too."
The hunter put away his wildness the next day and came to the company dressed neatly.
Perhaps it was because of the management, or perhaps it was because of the sense of competition, as soon as Luo Yang arrived at the office, the usually aloof Lin Yuxi followed him in with documents in her hands, and her tone of greeting "good morning" seemed to be a lot softer.
Chu Jing also followed in and helped Luo Yang make tea.
As for whether there was any eye contact between him and Lin Yuxi, Luo Yang was not sure, because at that moment he was discussing work matters with Yu Haiping.
"You don't have anything planned for the morning?"
"Because I'm not sure which day of the week you'll be at the office, I don't have anything planned for this morning."
Yu Haiping told the truth: "You have explained that unless it is government business, all internal company matters will be postponed."
This was indeed what he had instructed, so he nodded and said, "What about this afternoon? What are your specific plans?"
"Last week, you told me about setting up a charity foundation. I have already contacted the district civil affairs department and have asked the board of directors to handle the application procedures. If you need anything, I will contact the bureau in the morning and arrange a time for the leader in the afternoon. We have to meet up."
Yu Haiping looked at Luo Yang and said, "Although you have authorized me, when it comes to matters concerning the scale and specific operations of the foundation, the leader still hopes to hear your face-to-face report so that he can feel more at ease."
This is the Magic City. Unlike Yang City, the leader of a civil affairs department is only at the section level. If it is placed in the district, the top leader is at the division level.
"Well, make an appointment with your leader to see if he is available after 2:30."
It might not be enough for Yu Haiping alone to come forward, and Luo Yang could understand this.
"If we arrange it this afternoon, Director Wen's work will just happen to coincide with this." Yu Haiping continued, "She contacted me yesterday and asked about your work schedule so that she could make time to look at the house."
"Okay, you and Director Wen will take care of the arrangements."
Luo Yang thought about it and felt that this arrangement was not bad, so he nodded and agreed.
"Besides, you have a dinner party tonight."
Yu Haiping did not finish his report after talking about the first two things.
He looked at the notebook in his hand and continued, "It was Director Ke from Kunpeng Technology's Finance Department. She called yesterday to inquire about your schedule. She said that He Junyou, the director of the Credit Department of Pudong Development Bank Minhang Branch, wanted to treat us to a meal and discuss the Kunpeng Technology loan. She wanted to see if we could arrange a dinner tonight or tomorrow night."
"This matter is quite important. Please contact Ke Ruoyun and arrange the dinner for tonight. I will attend on time."
Luo Yang certainly attaches great importance to the funds involved in Kunpeng Technology's overseas market development. He had previously asked Ke Ruoyun to get in touch with the ICBC and Pufa Bank. Now she has helped the people from Pufa Bank to arrange a dinner for him. It seems that things are making progress.
Do you want to call Dong Xuan?
Luo Yang thought about it and finally gave up.
After all, this business also involves the district's low-interest support loans for high-tech industries, so there is no need for her to get involved for the time being.
What Dong Xuan can help with is the commercial loan aspect.
Let’s wait and see how the dinner turns out tonight.
"Okay, boss. I'll call Director Ke right now and tell her what you said."
Yu Haiping closed his notebook as he spoke.
"By the way, Director Wen has been on duty for a few days. What do you think of her?"
Just when Yu Haiping was about to turn around and leave, Luo Yang suddenly asked.
"Well, I can't tell yet."
Yu Haiping paused, thought for a moment, and replied to Luo Yang: "From the past few days alone, Director Wen is quite meticulous in his work. I'm not sure about the rest, after all, the number of contacts is limited."
In fact, Luo Yang just asked casually.
Just as Yu Haiping himself said, Wen Wan has only been on the job for a few days, so how can one tell anything?
During the morning, not many people came to disturb Luo Yang, giving him plenty of time to deal with the backlog of matters from the past two days.
By the way, I also had time to browse the summary of news events collected and edited by the Board of Directors and read two copies of the Xinmin Evening News.
After lunch, he took Wen Wan, Luo Yang and Yu Haiping to the district civil affairs department to discuss the establishment of a charitable foundation with the leaders.
It was originally estimated to take one and a half to two hours, but in reality the leader was very busy, and the matter was finished after less than an hour of conversation.
It's not that there are few things to do, but Yu Haiping did a solid job in the preliminary work and basically discussed everything that needed to be discussed. Luo Yang's appearance was equivalent to giving confirmation to the leader and consolidating some of the things that had been agreed upon previously.
"I have already promised what I should have promised. You will be the one to handle the follow-up."
The car sent Yu Haiping back to the company first. Before getting off the car, Luo Yang explained: "In the process of establishing a charity foundation, in addition to connecting with the civil affairs department, you should contact Secretary-General Chen of the Chamber of Commerce more often. He should have a lot of experience in this regard. In addition, the registration of the foundation should be handled as soon as possible. The framework should be set up, and other personnel can take a break and get the financial team ready first."
We are planning to use the money to buy the house in the name of the foundation, so how can we not hurry up?
"Boss, because you requested a villa, and priority is given to those within Minhang, the two houses we can find are both in the same community."
The board office was initially led by Yu Haiping. Because he called Luo Yang "Boss", others followed suit, so Wen Wan was considered to have adapted to the local customs.
"The community is on Jinhong Road in Minhang, called Hongqiao Villa. It was completed in 98. Although it is not a new community, the landscaping inside is quite good, and the surrounding supporting facilities are already mature."
On the way to the house viewing, Wen Wan sat in the passenger seat and introduced the house information: "One of the two houses has been renovated, and the other is still rough."
When it comes to luck, there is nothing to say.
Wen Wan just arrived at her post last Friday, and Luo Yang asked her to find a house. As a result, she only spent half a day on Saturday to find two suitable villas.
Both villas are three-story buildings. The renovated one has a construction area of more than 500 square meters, while the unfinished one is smaller, at about 400 square meters.
This time when I came to see the house, I only met the owner of the unfinished house.
The owner of the renovated villa is said to have settled abroad and plans to dispose of the domestic property, so he only met the entrusted agent.
Luo Yang was interested in the unfinished set.
The already renovated unit is not only slightly larger in area, but the owner also wants to sell it at a high price. However, Luo Yang doesn't like his decoration style, so even if he buys it, he will have to tear down the original decoration, so it is better to just buy the unfinished unit.
The owner of the unfinished house is quite straightforward.
He didn't renovate the house immediately after buying it, and left it there for several years.
I had originally planned to renovate the house and move in this year, but my company's business ran into some problems and I needed money urgently. I had no choice but to reluctantly trade this house.
The total price is not high, 1350 million, but it must be paid in cash because I need the money urgently.
"It will take me a week, I wonder if you can wait?"
Luo Yang is also a straightforward person. Money is not a problem. The key is that it takes time to register a foundation. If it is under his own name, he can give the money immediately.
"One week. Can it be faster?"
The owner, who was in urgent need of money, gave Luo Yang a cigarette and pleaded, "I can see that Mr. Luo is not short of money, but I..."
"The house is in the company's name. If it was a private purchase, I could give the money now."
They are all people who run their own companies. After Luo Yang said this, the other party understood.
"How about this, you can sell the house as usual. If you don't find a buyer willing to pay the full amount within a week, you can sell it to me again."
Luo Yang saw that the other party was really anxious, so he said frankly: "After all, it doesn't matter if I buy a house a month earlier or later."
Things have come to this point, and the villa owner has no choice but to agree with a helpless expression.
Luo Yang nodded slightly, then got into the car and left Hongqiao Villa.
He didn't have the energy or time to ask the other party what business he was in or what difficulties he had encountered.
It was almost five o'clock, and Wen Wan just reminded him that he could leave for tonight's dinner.
I have attended several dinner parties held by Ningbo Bank, and I wonder what the scene will be like at Pufa Bank.
Luo Yang really wanted to see it.
