Chapter 574 Different Definitions of Financial Freedom
Luo Yang has worked in one of the top ten real estate companies in the country.
Although there are differences between real estate companies and technology companies like Tencent, he is sure that there are many similar principles in the internal management of large companies.
Not to mention anything else, just looking at the word "volume", they are all outstanding.
As long as the company is in turmoil, the pressure from top to bottom will increase, and the goals and tasks will be broken down layer by layer, and no one can escape.
"Mr. Luo, do you want to learn Tencent's corporate culture?"
Zhao Xueqing smiled, then said: "There is no gentleness, the internal wolf culture is advocated, the competition between teams is very high, the upper and lower levels are linked to each other, those who achieve the goal eat meat and drink soup, and those who fail to achieve the goal..."
Her description was not exaggerated at all, and was even a little restrained.
Sometimes, not to mention failure to complete target tasks, it is not uncommon for the entire team to be disbanded when project funding is cut.
"According to what the senior said, the pressure is quite great."
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Zhao Xueqing shrugged his shoulders in a masculine way: "Without a rich dad, if you want to achieve financial freedom, you can only risk your life."
“Financial freedom.”
Luo Yang repeated these four words softly.
This word has different meanings when spoken by different people.
For example, for Luo Yang now, at least 300 to 500 million yuan is needed to achieve financial freedom.
Or if you live in a small fifth-tier county in the Midwest, perhaps you only need 10 or 20 million to achieve basic financial freedom.
"Senior, how much money do you need to earn to be considered financially free?"
"As for me, I don't have high requirements. Twenty or thirty million is enough!"
This topic was not a heavy one. Zhao Xueqing explained with great interest, "I have my own house in Shanghai. It doesn't need to be in a core area. The area is about 150 square meters. This is the big part. It costs about 600 million."
Fortunately, it is only 12 years now, and housing prices in Shanghai have not soared to unaffordable levels. According to Zhao Xueqing, the unit price is acceptable at 4 yuan per square meter. Even if it is not in the core area, it should not be too far off.
"I also have two cars, a mid-range SUV worth around 400,000 or 500,000 yuan, which I can drive when I want to travel, and a coupe worth around 1 million yuan, which I usually use for commuting in the city."
“I travel abroad once or twice a year, and I want to be able to travel whenever I want in China.”
"I always buy some new clothes for the spring and winter seasons."
Zhao Xueqing was lost in her own fantasy as she described herself: "You must have more than 1000 million in the bank. This money cannot be used casually, whether for interest or financial management. In addition, you must keep a few million on hand to ensure your quality of life."
With this calculation, it would cost around 2500 million to 3000 million.
However, she was already 24 years old when she graduated from graduate school and joined Tencent. Her initial salary was definitely not as high as it is now, at most only a few hundred thousand. After four years of hard work, she now has an annual salary of one million.
Maybe there are project bonuses, but overall, the amount of money Zhao Xueqing has in his bank card now definitely does not exceed 100 million.
You may not even have 50 yuan in savings.
She went to great lengths to enter the Chamber of Commerce, and perhaps even paid a certain price, before securing the position of vice president. Who would believe that she has no ambition?
It’s good to be ambitious!
Now Luo Yang is not in a hurry to reveal the information.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, junior."
Coming back to his senses from his own description, Zhao Xueqing saw that Luo Yang had been listening and an embarrassed look appeared on his face.
"There's nothing to be amused about. I have nothing but admiration for a senior who loves life so much."
Luo Yang smiled, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
After achieving his goal for the evening, he turned his head while drinking tea and looked towards the hotel lobby, pretending to look for someone.
It’s almost time, why hasn’t Chu Jing come yet?
Just as he was saying this in his mind, a familiar figure ran into the hotel, stopped and looked around, and after spotting Luo Yang, he immediately trotted over to him.
"Boss, I'm sorry, there was a traffic jam when I took the taxi here."
In order to achieve a realistic effect, Chu Jing started running when she was still forty or fifty meters away from the hotel, so that she was now slightly out of breath and her face was red.
"Remember to leave more time before you go out next time."
Luo Yang replied to Chu Jing calmly, then looked at Zhao Xueqing and said, "Senior, shall we set off now?"
Zhao Xueqing glanced at Chu Jing first, then stood up and said, "Then I'll trouble you, junior brother."
There was no melodramatic scene, they just dropped the person off at their residence and left.
"Boss, at nine o'clock, Miss Gu Jia called."
After sending Zhao Xueqing away, Chu Jing did not take credit for it to Luo Yang, but reported about Gu Jia: "I replied to her according to your instructions. Miss Gu did not show any disappointment, at least on the phone."
"Don't be so hesitant when you speak, just say what you want to say!"
"Miss Gu also asked me to bring you a message."
Chu Jing knew that he had made another small mistake, and quickly continued to report: "She said that she will be there every Friday in the future, waiting for your call at any time."
Gee.
It really does have a spirit of perseverance.
"Send me to Xuhui to spend the night."
Luo Yang didn't care about this kind of sensationalism because it was too cheap.
The car suddenly became quiet.
When he returned home, as he expected, Jiang Wen and Jiang Xue were there.
Originally, Luo Yang could rush back to Yang City overnight on the weekend, but this month was special as it happened to be graduation season and Jiang Fan also had to return to school.
The two had contacted each other by phone a few days ago, and Jiang Fan said that he would return to Soochow University on Saturday morning.
In this way, Luo Yang no longer needs to rush back to his hometown.
Jiang Wen also keenly captured this information, so she did not stay in the dormitory on the weekend and rushed back early.
"I'll do it myself, you guys take care of yourselves."
After entering the room, he found that the two sisters had just finished doing yoga and were about to take a shower. Luo Yang waved his hand to indicate that Jiang Wen didn't need to come and serve them, and he bent down to change into slippers.
"Then I'll go fill the jacuzzi."
Jiang Wen giggled, told her sister to make tea, and then walked into the master bedroom.
When choosing the apartment type, Jiang Wen fell in love with this one at first sight, and a big reason for this was the structure and layout of the master bedroom.
Needless to say, it faces south and has a large balcony.
It is connected to the cloakroom facing north and covers an area of more than ten square meters.
The space further inside is reserved for the bathroom, which is more than 20 square meters, almost equivalent to the area of a bedroom.
A design was made during the renovation. In addition to the dry and wet separated bathroom, a separate bathroom was also separated. Because the area was large enough, a lotus-shaped jacuzzi was specially placed.
It is no problem to accommodate four or five people taking a bath at the same time.
Not long after Luo Yang sat down on the sofa in the living room, Jiang Wen came out.
This lotus jacuzzi is large enough that even if you only fill it halfway with water, it will still take about half an hour.
"I thought there would be a crowd of people in the house before I opened the door."
"Hehe, Dai Ying and the others want to stay here. Tomorrow is the weekend, so we can go shopping in the nearby Meile City." Jiang Wen walked to Luo Yang with her long bare legs and sat down next to him: "I guess you must come here tonight, because you don't want them to ruin our good time."
She has a good figure to begin with, and now she looks even sexier in this sportswear.
In comparison, Jiang Xue, who was standing next to Luo Yang on the other side, looked a little thin.
"Brother-in-law is partial!"
Before Luo Yang could speak, Jiang Xue pouted: "When I'm alone at home, he doesn't come over. Only when my sister comes back, my brother-in-law will show up."
"I only came back once this week, but it was quite late and you were already asleep."
Luo Yang reached out and scratched her nose: "In order not to affect your school the next day, I will sleep in the guest bedroom."
"what?"
Jiang Xue was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, she exclaimed, "Is it Wednesday night? No wonder, I felt that there was something extra at home when I woke up that morning, but I was in a hurry to go to school, so I didn't have time to pay attention."
"You won't say your brother-in-law is partial this time, right?"
Jiang Wen smiled and said something to her sister, then continued talking to Luo Yang.
"Last time you told me about raising money, I called home a few days ago and told them about it. They seemed to have some concerns."
"You didn't tell me what it was about?"
"I told you!"
Jiang Wen said with a distressed look: "But my reputation is not high now, and the money we need to raise for this matter is not a small amount. It would be strange if they don't suspect me. Moreover, my family is planning to send my uncle to the Magic City to take a closer look at the situation. Luo Yang, what should I do?"
"tsk"
Luo Yang smacked his lips and said, "Come on, repeat what you said to your family."
So Jiang Wen started talking a lot, and although it was not word for word, she managed to describe the main idea.
"Good fellow, your making up a friend out of nothing is really too fake, isn't it?"
After listening to Jiang Wen's narration, Luo Yang opened his eyes wide and said, "If it were me, I would also be suspicious, and even think that you were deceived."
"But isn't that what you taught me?"
“Is that what I taught you?”
Luo Yang couldn't help but pat his forehead: "Girl, how did I teach you in the beginning?"
After letting go of her hand, he looked at Jiang Wen with a look of disappointment.
"I clearly told you to tell your family about Naixue's direct-operated stores. This is the key to gaining trust. But when you called home, you didn't mention a word, only saying that your rich second-generation bestie had information and connections."
Luo Yang stretched out his finger and tapped Jiang Wen's forehead: "What are you thinking? What are you trying to hide?"
Jiang Wen's eyes widened, with an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"Oh no, I really forgot about this!"
She subconsciously covered her mouth: "At that time, all I could think about was how to describe the benefits of being an agent for Lemon CC. When my family started to doubt me, I got nervous and forgot everything."
When she said this, Jiang Wen blushed.
She stuck out her tongue and started to act coquettishly.
She took Luo Yang's arm and shook him: "Master, I was wrong. Please teach me what to do about this matter."
What else can I do?
Just acting.
“It’s not that there is no way.”
Luo Yang started to take advantage of the situation, touching his chin as if pondering, and looking back and forth at Jiang Wen.
Familiar picture, familiar formula.
Master Jiang understood what he meant, and leaned close to Luo Yang's ear and whispered, "Master, Xiaoxue and I have learned a dance recently. I will show it to you later?"
"It's not gymnastics, is it?"
Luo Yang shook his head and said, "It's so noisy and noisy, I can't appreciate it."
"Hehe, sir, wait a moment!"
After saying that, she got off the sofa barefoot and asked Jiang Xue to go to the bedroom with her.
Luo Yang became curious.
So he lit a cigarette, sat on the sofa and waited patiently.
Five or six minutes later, two beauties in ancient costumes with fluttering skirts walked out of the bedroom and came into the living room.
Although the two did not have their hair tied up like the ancient women, they were beautiful and looked like ladies. They clenched their hands into orchid fingers, crossed them and placed them on the right side of their waists, and slightly bent their knees to show respect to Luo Yang.
"Sir, please enjoy the Green Waist Dance adapted from the Tang Dynasty court dance."
After greeting, Jiang Wen turned to the TV cabinet and turned on the amplifier, which even had a special soundtrack.
Soothing music plays.
Sisters Jiang Wen and Jiang Xue simultaneously stretched out their right legs forward, bent their feet and straightened them, lightly tapped the ground with their toes while thrusting their hips upward. Their movements were crisp and clear, and full of tense power.
There is a circle of bells hanging on the anklets and waist, which make dense and crisp sounds as the movements occur.
Then put your right foot on the ground, sway your body, change your left leg forward, and repeat the previous dance posture.
After one round, the orchid fingers alternately climb up in front of the body, while the upper body leans back and slowly folds into a C shape.
The bell on the wrist also began to jingle.
When their hands touched the ground, they both flipped backwards at the same time and faced Luo Yang again.
The next series of movements are quite coherent. If you break them down, there are some low-difficulty professional dance moves, and more high-difficulty yoga moves interspersed throughout the dance.
This is the advantage of practicing yoga regularly. Your body will be very flexible and you can do some gymnastics-like movements at the same time.
Although not as good as professional dancers, it is more than enough to handle some simple dance moves.
My goodness, where did you learn this?
Obviously professionally choreographed.
Luo Yang had never seen this kind of dance in his memory!
You have to know that after the rise of self-media, all kinds of ancient images can be dug up. If such a beautiful dance had existed, how could it not have been seen on Tik Tok?
And looking at their clothes, they are obviously exquisite and professional, as if they were specially tailor-made.
The silk ruyi on the upper body is very short, with a layer of transparent gauze shirt on the outside, leaving a large gap between the ruyi and the lower body, revealing the white willow waist, plus the bells full of details.
unless
While thinking in my mind, my eyes were reluctant to leave the beauty in front of me.
Jiang Wen and her sister were dancing brilliantly when they suddenly stopped.
Eh?
What do you mean?
Luo Yang was about to ask when Jiang Wen spoke first.
"Sir, the water is almost ready. My sister and I will go in and help you bathe."
Seeing Luo Yang's regretful expression, Jiang Wen smiled and pulled her sister into the bedroom. When they reached the door, she looked back and smiled.
Gee.
In ancient times, this kind of woman is the "Da Ji" who brings disaster to the harem. If the queen knew about it, she would definitely give her a cup of poisoned wine and a three-foot white silk.
Luo Yang, feeling hot-headed, could no longer care about the Queen.
He put out his cigarette, stood up and strode into the bedroom.
