What's wrong with me, an online ride-hailing driver, who has a lot of money? Chapter 168 When it comes to showing off, Yang Chen admits he is second, but no one dares to admit he is first.
Chapter 168 When it comes to showing off, Yang Chen admits he is second, but no one dares to admit he is first.
Yang Chen returned home.
The leaders of the Municipal Bureau and Bibi Platform quickly stepped forward to give him the banner.
Yang Chen really doesn’t want these things, he just wants to drive quietly.
However, since everyone has come to his door, he can’t be too disrespectful.
"Thank you everyone. These are things I should do as a Haicheng citizen. There is really no need to give me a banner." Yang Chen said euphemistically.
Leader of the Municipal Bureau: "Don't worry, we don't have any publicity this time, we just sent it to you internally. The director specifically asked not to cause trouble to you. We will take a photo as evidence, and I will leave immediately."
Yang Chen nodded, took a photo with him, and then the people from the city bureau left.
The leader of Bibi platform was excited and asked: "I didn't expect Master Yang to be so rich and live here."
Yang Chen: "Pull it down, this is my girlfriend's home. Even a Beep driver like me can't rent it here. Don't mess around, rich people are more low-key. If you mess with me, I'll do it again
Take the driver brothers to the headquarters to protest."
Leader Bibi looked at Yu Shishi, and then said with a smile: "I understand, I understand. Then let's take a photo as evidence, and I can go back and recover."
Yang Chen nodded, took a photo with him of the banner, and sent them all away.
Yang Chen looked at the two banners in his hand and felt a little resistant.
He wanted to vomit after receiving the banner that others could only dream of.
Alas...
Sure enough, being too good is also a worry.
……
University of Finance and Economics, 60th anniversary.
Li Xiaofei came to Yang Chen last night, and today they two went back to school together.
The whole school is on holiday today, and everyone can arrange their own time freely.
However, the school still requires each class to send some representatives to attend the school anniversary party.
After all, the alumni who have donated a lot have to give speeches, so no one in the audience is embarrassed.
After the University of Finance and Economics expanded its enrollment, the new campus has more than 20,000 people.
Walking on campus is like going to a market, there are people everywhere.
However, Yang Chen is so eye-catching, he is the center of attention wherever he goes.
Not to mention he is handsome and has a good temperament. He is a tall man of 185cm, with his hair slicked back, wearing a neat and capable shirt, trousers and leather shoes. This is what many girls dream of in their dream lover.
Unknowingly, the two of them arrived outside the school auditorium.
At this time, a familiar figure appeared in front of Yang Chen, it was Zhao Feifei whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Zhao Feifei is also a graduate of the University of Finance and Economics and is eligible to come back to participate in the school celebrations.
However, Yang Chen did not react at all and continued to accompany Li Xiaofei into the auditorium.
Zhao Feifei froze on the spot for a few seconds, and then followed her in.
Li Xiaofei whispered: "Brother, do you want me to scold her?"
Yang Chen shook his head and said: "Just treat her like a stranger, don't have any entanglement with her."
The two found a seat and sat down, waiting for the event to begin.
Not long after Yang Chen sat down, Chen Liang called him again.
Chen Liang: "Brother Chen, are you here?"
Yang Chen: "I'm sitting in the auditorium, waiting to listen to your speech."
Chen Liang: "Come to the Academic Affairs Office, we have something important to discuss."
Yang Chen: "What's going on?"
Chen Liang: "Come quickly, you will know when you come."
Yang Chen: "If you don't want to go, I'll just wait here."
Chen Liang: "But if you accepted the invitation, you must come. Not every alumni has an invitation. The alumni who receive the invitation are very valued by the school. Since you accepted it, you have to give it some face.
Come over here. Are you right?"
Yang Chen: "Oh! It's really troublesome. Okay, I'm here."
Yang Chen explained a few words to Li Xiaofei, and then got up and went to the Academic Affairs Office.
Made, she bumped into Zhao Feifei again in the aisle.
Yang Chen still regarded her as a stranger and passed by her.
Zhao Feifei couldn't help but turn around and look at Yang Chen's back, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Soon, Yang Chen came to the Academic Affairs Office.
Chen Liang pulled him into the conference room.
Yang Chen: "Dear leaders and alumni, hello everyone, I'm Yang Chen. Sorry, I'm late because of the traffic jam on the road."
Principal Ge Sulan said with a smile: "Sit down quickly, Mr. Yang, welcome back to participate in the 60th anniversary celebration of our alma mater."
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, sitting next to Chen Liang.
When alumni meet, it is inevitable to greet each other. They are all executives or CEOs, and they are all very awesome.
Yang Chen nodded with a smile and said: "It seems that our financial institution is very powerful. Flowers are blooming all over the world, and they are all very bright."
"Then what does Mr. Yang do?"
"Yes! If there are any opportunities for cooperation in the future, I must think of you all."
……
Yang Chen smiled and replied: "I drive an online car-hailing service. If you need a car in the future, please remember to find me."
"..."
The whole place was silent.
Damn it, can an online ride-hailing driver come to such a high-profile alumni forum?
What kind of plane is the principal doing?
Do you need to seek medical treatment in case of emergency?
You can’t do this just because you’re short of money. Doesn’t this lower everyone’s status?
Everyone smiled and said nothing.
Chen Liang shook his head helplessly, thinking: "I really don't understand what Brother Chen is thinking. If I were as awesome as him, I wish everyone in the world knew about it, but he insists on being so low-key. Don't show off if you have money.
It's like walking in brocade clothes at night, what's the point?"
Ge Sulan now only hopes that Chen Liang tells the truth and that Yang Chen drives an online car-hailing service to pass the time, not really making a living from it.
Ge Sulan quickly revealed the main topic of this symposium. It was actually the land next to the school. He wanted everyone to find a way to buy it at a low price from Mingyang Real Estate.
According to his intention, the school can only contribute up to 30 million, which means that Mingyang Real Estate will lose 20 million when selling to the school, not counting the interest and other costs of the funds.
So, how is it possible?
People don't open a company for charity. They buy land for 50 million, pay various fees and bank interest, and then sell it to the school for 30 million. Only a fool can do such a thing.
The most important thing is that Mingyang Real Estate doesn't want to sell that land at all. Wouldn't it be comfortable to develop a commercial area to earn money from several nearby university students?
The alumni who participated in this symposium all scolded Ge Sulan hundreds of times in their hearts. Mader, if you come up with some impossible problems, why don’t you just go and grab them?
"You are all the best graduates our University of Finance and Economics has produced in the past sixty years. Let's think of ways to see if we can help our alma mater solve this problem." Ge Sulan said with a smile.
No one spoke.
Ge Sulan smiled and said: "Classmate Chen Liang, do you have any idea? You are the vice president of an American investment bank. Does this matter?"
Chen Liang likes to show off, not make a fool of himself.
"Mmp, just come up and make me look embarrassed, you idiot." Chen Liang cursed in his heart.
Then he replied: "We Shengjin invests in promising industries, such as technology, tourism, people's livelihood, etc. The real estate industry is now in a cold winter stage, and we are determined not to touch it. So, I really can't find it.
Relationships in this area. But if you ask about relationships in technology, I can find out a lot. For example, Haicheng Mingshang Technology, which makes drones and other products, I have a very good relationship with their boss."
This guy really cares about saving face. Finally, he has to emphasize that it’s not that he has no social connections, he just doesn’t have connections in a crisis-ridden industry like real estate.
Ge Sulan's expression changed visibly, and then he asked with a smile: "Classmate Chen Ming, do you have any idea? You are in the construction industry, so you should have some connections in this area, right?"
Chen Ming donated 1 million this time, Chen Liang would not be willing to part with it.
Chen Ming is now a contractor, hand
A contractor of this scale can independently contract some uncomplicated projects.
Chen Ming replied with a smile: "Yes, there is, but it may not work. I heard that Mingyang Real Estate wants to develop this piece of land into a commercial area. This is a long-term profitable project, and they cannot sell it." p>
Ge Sulan nodded and said: "I know this, but we have to give it a try. How about you help me find out?"
Chen Ming nodded, took out his mobile phone and made more than a dozen calls, but in the end he still couldn't get it done.
"My friend helped contact Zhou Xiong, the CEO of Mingyang Real Estate, and Zhou Xiong clearly replied that he would not sell it for any amount of money. They just took a fancy to the consumption potential of the University of Finance and Economics and several surrounding universities. How could they sell it?" Chen Ming said helplessly.
said.
Other alumni also expressed that they had no choice.
Most of them are alumni who are developing their careers in other places, and there is really no way to get the famous real estate in Haicheng.
Yang Chen was a little confused, is Mingyang Real Estate so powerful?
It’s so difficult for so many alumni to reach such heights.
Only Yang Chen remained silent at the scene.
Ge Sulan said with a smile: "Classmate Yang Chen, why haven't you spoken? Is there anything you can do?"
Chen Ming said with a smile: "Principal Ge, please don't embarrass him. What connections does he have as an online ride-hailing driver to be able to do this? It's not like he can hold down the boss by pulling over Zhou Xiong, right?"
Chen Liang hurriedly said: "Brother, you can't say that. Since Brother Chen was invited to attend the symposium, he is qualified to express his thoughts. According to what you say, you are not a good contractor.
Can’t the vice president of an international investment bank look down upon you and not let you speak?”
It seems that after the last trip to Jinshan Resort, Chen Liang really surrendered to Yang Chen.
Ge Sulan quickly said: "Haha...yes, yes, all the students who can participate in this symposium today can express their thoughts."
But Yang Chen is just an online ride-hailing driver after all, and other alumni don’t believe that he can do anything.
As long as Yang Chen doesn't engage in publicity to make him famous, he is not unwilling to help his alma mater.
Yang Chen asked: "I really don't know Zhou Xiong, I only called him once. But I know his son Zhou Zhenyang. Last time at the golf course, he tried to steal my venue and I gave him a lesson. I don't think they are that high.
It's unattainable. I'll call him and ask, and I should be able to convince him to sell the land. However, if the land he bought for 50 million yuan, the school will definitely not be able to pay only 30 million yuan, and he will lose more than 20 million yuan without doing anything. How is it possible?
What?"
The alumni all showed disbelieving smiles, this forced him to pretend really well.
An online ride-hailing driver even went golfing, and he was not afraid of being laughed at if he told the truth.
"Junior brother, if the school can buy it at the original price or at an increased price, you don't need to think of a way."
"That's right! The problem now is that the school is short of money, and we donated the 30 million yuan."
"How much did you donate this time? If it doesn't work, if you donate more, the school can negotiate with Mingyang Real Estate."
……
Yang Chen smiled and said: "I didn't donate any money."
"Ah!"
"Didn't donate money?"
"What do you mean? How can you sit here without donating money?"
"Principal Ge, isn't it said that only alumni who donate more can come to this symposium? How can he come without donating money?"
……
Ge Sulan quickly explained: "Don't get excited, everyone. I need to ask Chen Liang about this. He said that classmate Yang Chen is very powerful and has assets worth one billion, so we sent him an invitation letter."
Chen Liang immediately said: "Yes, that's what I said. Brother Chen is low-key and doesn't like our high-profile way of donating money. Isn't that okay?"
"He is an online ride-hailing driver. He can't keep a high profile even if he wants to!"
"That's right! He's not keeping a low profile, but he can't keep a high profile."
"It's really boring. We donated so much money to be able to sit here. He can sit here without donating a penny. So what's the point of us donating money? In the future, he will also build monuments and engrave words with us?" ……
Yang Chen didn't want to argue with these people, so he called Zhou Xiong directly.
Soon, the call was connected.
Zhou Xiong: "Mr. Yang, why did you call me suddenly? My son was not sensible last time. Don't blame Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang comes to my place when he has time. I'll ask Mr. Yang to try the Maotai I just bought."
”
Yang Chen: "Haha... Mr. Zhou is too polite. Let's talk about it when we have time. Mr. Zhou is still young, so it's not a big deal. I was so frivolous when I was young. Can I be called a young man if I'm not crazy?"
Zhou Xiong: "Haha...Mr. Yang is right. It would be great if my son could be one percent as mature as Mr. Yang. By the way, is there something wrong with Mr. Yang calling me?"
Yang Chen: "Well, I do need Mr. Zhou's help with something."
Zhou Xiong: "Haha...Mr. Yang's words are too outrageous. You are the third shareholder of Zhang Sanfeng Firm. When it comes to it, we are our own people. If you need anything, just ask. If you can help me, I will definitely help." p>
Yang Chen: "Didn't your company take a piece of land next to the University of Finance and Economics to develop a business district? The school is expanding its enrollment, and the teaching building is not enough, and it is inconvenient for teachers to commute from the city. The school wants to buy that land.
Build teachers’ apartments. I wonder if Mr. Zhou can bear the pain and give up?”
Mingyang Real Estate had a lot of messed up problems, all of which were solved by Zhang Xiang and his team.
On the surface, Zhang Sanfeng Law Firm has solved all the troubles of Mingyang Real Estate.
To put it another way, Zhang Sanfeng & Associates knows all the scandals of Mingyang Real Estate.
Is there anything wrong?
In addition, Zhou Xiong also knows that Yang Chen has many properties under his name and controls many companies. Of course, he doesn't want to get in trouble with such a person.
If this piece of land can buy Yang Chen's connections, Zhou Xiong thinks it's worth it.
However, after all, the land was bought for 50 million. Even if it doesn't make money, it can't lose too much.
Zhou Xiong: "Mr. Yang has spoken, I will definitely try my best to help. We originally spent 50 million to buy that piece of land. I will not count bank interest, handling fees, taxes, etc. Mr. Yang asked the school to give me another 50 million."
That’s it.”
But don’t look at buying it for 50 million and selling it for another 50 million. It seems that you will not lose or make a profit, but this is not the case.
When buying land, you have to pay various taxes, fees, etc., plus bank interest for more than a year, and these fees add up to a huge amount of money.
For example, if a bank loan is calculated at an ultra-low annual interest rate of 6%, it would be an interest of 3 million yuan a year.
Yang Chen: "The school can only spend 30 million, and it really can't come up with any extra money. However, I have a way to make up for Mr. Zhou's losses. The school needs to expand the teaching building and build teachers' apartments. It can be paid
Let Mingyang Real Estate undertake the construction. If Mr. Zhou thinks it is okay, I will tell Principal Ge and you will sit down and talk slowly."
Zhou Xiong: "Is that land used to build teachers' apartments?"
Yang Chen: "Yes!"
Zhou Xiong: "Okay! Then just do what Mr. Yang said."
Projects like this generally require bidding according to regulations, but bidding is not impossible.
As long as they can reach an agreement, other issues are not a problem.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen told Ge Sulan the plan.
The school has set aside a budget for the cost of building teaching buildings and teachers' apartments. Although it may not be enough, it is enough to pay the down payment. The biggest headache for the leaders is that they don't have enough money to buy the land.
Now that Yang Chen has helped them convince Zhou Xiong to sell the land for 30 million, won't this problem be solved?
Ge Sulan: "Haha... No problem, no problem, just follow classmate Yang Chen's plan. Is Zhou Xiong really willing to sell that land for 30 million?"
Yang Chen: "Of course. Principal Ge can call him and have a chat now. Let's make a preliminary decision first, and then you two can slowly discuss the details later."
Ge Sulan: "Okay, okay. Then please call Mr. Yang his number. I don't have his number here."
Yang Chen nodded, dialed Zhou Xiong's number again, and then handed the phone to Ge Sulan.
The alumni looked at each other, how could driving an online ride-hailing company have so much energy?
If I had known that driving an online ride-hailing service was so expensive, they would still be struggling to do so.
The call is connected.
Zhou Xiong said very politely: "Mr. Yang, what should I say?"
Ge Sulan: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Arrogant Ge Sulan from the University of Finance and Economics, Yang Chen's alma mater. I have always wanted to talk to you before, but I never had the chance."
Zhou Xiong: "Oh, Principal Ge! Hello, hello."
Ge Sulan: "Classmate Yang said that Mr. Zhou is willing to sell the land next to our school for 30 million, as long as your company will build it during our later construction. Is that true?"
Zhou Xiong: "Yes! Mr. Yang is one of our own. If he speaks, I will definitely give him face. I can give you a decision on this matter now, and there is absolutely no problem. We will discuss the details of cooperation in the future. Because of Mr. Yang's relationship,
We will definitely not let the University of Finance and Economics suffer a loss. I can guarantee this with President Ge."
Ge Sulan: "Okay, okay. Haha...Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Xiong: "You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank Mr. Yang. If he hadn't come to me, I wouldn't have left a project that made a lot of money and sold it to you at a loss."
Ge Sulan: "Haha... I understand, I understand. Then I won't disturb Mr. Zhou. You can go about your business first. We will discuss the details later."
After hanging up the phone, Ge Sulan returned the phone to Yang Chen very excitedly, and then excitedly held Yang Chen's hands and said: "Classmate Yang, thank you very much. You have done your alma mater a big favor. Not only did you help the school
I got the land and saved 20 million at once. In this way, I have decided to name the teaching building after classmate Yang, and call it Yang Chen Building. Do you think it will work?"
Huh?
After spending one yuan on the phone bill, you got the right to name the teaching building?
What does this make those alumni who have worked hard to donate more money think?
They must be feeling sour right now, right?
The alumni were all confused.
They fought openly and secretly to donate a lot of money, but in the end they lost to Yang Chen's one dollar phone bill. Who are you going to talk to?
But it’s okay if they don’t accept it. They don’t have Yang Chen’s ability.
I didn't donate a penny to get the naming rights of the teaching building, which made Yang Chen feel a little embarrassed.
Before Yang Chen could speak, Ge Sulan said again: "It just so happens that our alumni association still lacks a vice president. If Yang Chen doesn't mind, you can be the one. From now on, you will be responsible for contacting the alumni who manage the University of Finance and Economics. If you have any questions, just ask
Please contact Wang Zhengxia, the president, who is also the owner of the Academic Affairs Office. Do you think it will work?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Oops, this is so embarrassing.
Don't give it, it's too much. The alumni next to me stopped talking. They looked very unconvinced.
Yang Chen didn't donate a dime, and he took away two major benefits at once.
Brother Chen has always convinced people with his virtue, reason and money. There is no reason why they should not be convinced...
Yang Chen: "Principal Ge is so polite, I feel a little embarrassed."
Ge Sulan: "No! Don't feel embarrassed, you deserve this."
Ge Sulan is also a good person. As long as she can stabilize Yang Chen's relationship, she can ask him for help if the school encounters any difficulties in the future.
There is no simplicity in the adult world, only calculations of interests.
Yang Chen: "I will accept the right to name the teaching building. I won't be the vice president of the alumni association. Let Chen Liang do it for me. I can trust him. Everyone has expressed their feelings for the alma mater's birthday, so I can't leave nothing.
.I think the student activity center is a bit dilapidated, so I will donate it to the student activity center. Later, you can negotiate with Mingyang Real Estate and I will bear the cost of the student activity center. Okay?"
Ge Sulan: "Haha... Mr. Yang is really extraordinary! This is of course a good thing. On behalf of the more than 20,000 teachers and students in the school, I would like to thank Mr. Yang for his generous donation. The student activity center is still named after Mr. Yang. The teaching building is named Yang.
Chen Building 1, Dahuo Center is called Yang Chen Building 2. What do you think?"
Yang Chen: "I am a graduate of the University of Finance and Economics, so of course I must listen to the principal."
"Haha..." Everyone laughed.
Chen Liang took off happily and said quickly: "Thank you, Brother Chen."
Chen Liang suddenly realized that it was good not to go against Yang Chen, and he was much happier than before.
Ge Sulan: "I'm so happy today. Thank you to all the alumni for their help. The situation has exceeded our expectations. Come on, let's go to the auditorium now. As representatives, you must go on stage to give a speech. Classmate Yang, you have to speak for a while and give the students
Let the younger brothers and sisters set an example."
Yang Chen hates this kind of false speech the most, and Zhao Feifei is also present in the auditorium, and he doesn't want to see her again.
"I won't go. There are still very important things to do here. Everyone, please go over. I wish everyone a happy day at his alma mater." Yang Chen said.
Chen Liang: "Brother Chen, you've spent so much money, what else is more important than going on stage to set an example for your juniors?"
Yang Chen: "I was delayed for too long today. I have to go solicit customers. After all, I am an online ride-hailing driver. How can I not do my job well?"
"..."
Everyone was silent again.
Chen Liang looked at Yang Chen with admiration and thought to himself: "I always thought I was good at showing off, but now I know that Brother Chen, you are the best at showing off. When it comes to showing off, you are second.
Absolutely no one dares to admit the number one. Conquer!"
Come on, you are the one who is showing off, your whole family is showing off, is this because you are dedicated to your job, okay?
