It is strange to say that many people who have experienced wealth will be willing to be ordinary, and even have the idea of treating money as dirt.
But Gao Bin is not like this. He is still very persistent about money. He does not need to strive to be the richest or second richest man, but he must spend enough to ensure his needs for life.
Maybe this is also a manifestation of the difficulty of transitioning from luxury to frugality.
He bought a new car, but he didn't have any reaction, but Zhong Xiaoqin took him out to celebrate. The two went shopping in Xintiandi and bought a whole trunk of things to go home. They happened to meet Gu Jia and Xu Huan in the garage.
Shan, neither of them have good-looking expressions.
Gu Jia forced a smile:
"Gao Bin, Xiao Qin."
Perhaps remembering that Gao Bin and Xu Huanshan had never met before, she introduced:
"My husband Xu Huanshan, Huanshan, this is Gao Bin, the benefactor who has helped our family a lot."
Xu Huanshan was stunned for a moment and quickly stepped forward to hold Gao Bin's hand:
"I heard my wife mention it a long time ago. I have been looking for a chance to meet you, but I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Haha, you're welcome, we're all friends, as we should."
"You live here too?" Xu Huanshan couldn't help but ask, remembering that this was in his garage.
"I haven't told you yet, Gao Bin and Xiaoqin have moved to Junyue Mansion, just upstairs from our house."
"Really, that's good. Let's have a nice get-together with our families when we have time." Xu Huanshan invited.
"No problem."
Gao Bin responded casually and took Zhong Xiaoqin upstairs, leaving a confused Xu Huanshan:
"What's going on? Why are Zhong Xiaoqin and Gao Bin together?"
He didn't have the nerve to ask just now.
"Xiao Qin and Chen Yu divorced." Gu Jia explained without saying much, picked up her bag and walked to the elevator.
...
After returning home, Zhong Xiaoqin hugged Gao Bin from behind, put her face on his back and said coquettishly:
"I'm so exhausted."
Gao Bin squatted down and directly carried the person on his back.
"Ah~What are you doing~"
"Aren't you tired? Come on, I'll carry you to bed."
"Ahaha~ No, put me down quickly, I still have to pack my clothes."
"Why worry about that? Just let Sister Liu take care of it later."
"Oh, no, I have to clean up myself. Put me down quickly before you throw me again."
Zhong Xiaoqin kicked her legs and pulled Gao Bin's ears with her hands.
"Okay, okay, let you down, you are trying to murder your husband."
"Bah~ A dog can't spit out ivory. You go and wash up quickly, and I'll pack the clothes. By the way, I just looked at you and looked bad. Do you think I should ask what's wrong?"
Gao Bin shrugged:
"You can ask if you want. I'll get something to drink. It's still early. How about a drink?"
"Okay, let's drink something red for beauty."
"Haha, I understand quite well. Okay, I'll go get some drinks."
He ran to pour wine, and Zhong Xiaoqin was on the phone with Gu Jia while packing her clothes. The two best friends chatted for half an hour before hanging up the phone with unfinished content.
"What's wrong?"
"It's their company's problem. Several projects have been stopped, and the money on the account is not enough to pay a month's salary, so they are thinking of mortgaging their houses in exchange for money to subsidize the company."
Gao Bin said oh, came over with a decanter and poured her a glass.
"Why don't you speak?" Zhong Xiaoqin pouted her little mouth.
Gao Bin was helpless:
"Looking at you like that, you must be asking me for help, but dear, I'm not omnipotent, and you can't always count on me to help them. If a company always needs help from others to survive, it's better not to do it.
A waste of time."
Zhong Xiaoqin sat directly in Gao Bin's arms:
"Oh, that's different. Gu Gu is my best friend, and her business is my business. Can you bear to see something happen to me?"
"I can't bear it, but you can't threaten me with this." Gao Bin put his arms around her waist, fearing that she would fall over.
"Just help them one more time, for the last time, okay?" Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Gao Bin pitifully, and she would do anything for her best friend.
"No, you have to give people a good meal when you kill a pig. I don't get any benefits from this. It's just a sacrifice. I won't do it!"
"Then what sweetness do you want?"
Gao Bin rolled his eyes, leaned into her ear and said something in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
I saw Zhong Xiaoqin blushing from head to toe in an instant:
"You are going to die. Can you even imagine such a shameful move?"
Gao Bin doesn’t care:
"Then it depends on how strong you are with your best friend. By the way, I will let you feel the dangers of society. This is called the unspoken rule. If you want benefits, you have to exchange things!"
Zhong Xiaoqin bit her lower lip, but her shy little eyes contained indescribable charm.
"Bad guy!"
"So do you want to sacrifice yourself for your bestie?"
Zhong Xiaoqin put the wine glass on the coffee table, then put her hands around Gao Bin's neck, her face almost bleeding:
"Take me to bed!"
...
An hour later, the wind stopped and the rain stopped. Gao Bin walked out of the bedroom shirtless and wearing big pants as if nothing was wrong. He went to the refrigerator and took a bottle of mineral water and drank several sips of it.
About 10 minutes later, Zhong Xiaoqin wandered out on Lingbo. The nightgown on her body was full of wrinkles, but she didn't care about her image at the moment. She came to Gao Bin, hugged his arm and took a bite.
.
"Ah! What are you doing!" Gao Bin didn't feel the pain for long, it was just a bit cold and he didn't react.
"Bite you to death!" Zhong Xiaoqin fell down on the sofa, her whole body sore and weak, as if she had been hit by Shixiang Ruanjin Powder.
Looking at the small circle of teeth marks on his arm, Gao Bin was snickering, obviously very satisfied with his performance just now.
"Okay, call your best friend and ask her to come up."
When she mentioned this, she perked up, pushed herself up, touched her cell phone, and made a voice call to Gu Jia.
After a while, Gu Jia came upstairs alone, and Zhong Xiaoqin ran to open the door.
The two hugged each other as soon as they met, Zhong Xiaoqin said:
"Gu Gu, I have sacrificed too much for you."
"Ah? What's wrong?" Gu Jia didn't understand at first.
But seeing the state of the two of them at this time, and then thinking of Zhong Xiaoqin's words, as a person who has been through it, she immediately reacted.
Then he glared at Gao Bin:
"When Xiaoqin's body is better, you can toss her."
Gao Bin is not embarrassed at all:
"It's not my fault, she insisted on helping you."
"Oh, I'm going to die. If you keep talking about this, I will ignore you." Zhong Xiaoqin covered her face and did not dare to see anyone.
Gu Jia is actually not too embarrassed, but she is the child's mother after all, and her acceptance level is much greater than Zhong Xiaoqin's.
"Sit down, I'll pour you a glass of wine." Gao Bin said.
"Thank you."
After she sat down, Gao Bin asked:
"Can you tell me about the current situation of your company?"
"Although you gave a big order, other orders were stopped due to cost issues. There are so many people in the company to support, and money is all there when you open your eyes. One order is simply not enough."
Gao Bin nodded, took a sip of wine, and then asked:
"I asked you to explore the international market before, but what happened next?"
"According to what you said, we have invested in many companies, but the response has been mediocre. First, they have fixed partners; second, they do not trust us."
This was also expected by Gao Bin. Since he raised it, there must be a way to solve it.
"I'll give you two options, decide which one you choose."
Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Gao Bin with admiration, this man was worthy of everything she had to give.
Gu Jia also looked at him expectantly. This man seemed to have never let her down.
"Option one, I will help you get overseas orders. It's hard to say one or two, but I can definitely get them;
Option two, I will get you a loan and pay it back with interest after maturity. The total amount will be around 5 million, and the interest will be 10%, one year."
Both options have their own pros and cons. One can get money quickly and stabilize the current situation, while the other can open up a new market. As long as it is done well, there is a lot to do in the future.
Overseas orders are not that easy to do. You don't get money just by signing the contract. If the plan fails to pass, not only will you not get the money, but you may also have to pay liquidated damages. For Gu Jia and the others now, it is just adding insult to injury.
.
To put it simply, one focuses on the future and the other focuses on the present. How to choose? This is a question.
Someone said, why can I only choose one and not both?
Nonsense, Gao Bin is just a helper, not God, why should he do this?
Even if Gu Jia climbed into his bed now, he wouldn't do it. Business is business, and everything else is other things. They can't be confused.
That Lao Wan is just too stupid. If you want to manipulate someone, you have to understand the time and place.
Gu Jia was so smart that he could naturally think of the essence of these two plans, so he immediately became entangled.
Although Zhong Xiaoqin didn't understand, she was not stupid and said hurriedly:
"Can't you choose both?"
Gao Bin looked at her helplessly and said softly:
"Be good, don't cause trouble."
Gu Jia understood the truth and explained to Gao Bin:
"He has already helped us a lot, he can't just put food into our mouths and then help us chew it."
The words were rough but not rough, Zhong Xiaoqin seemed to understand, holding Gu Jia's arm and said:
"Oh, I'm worried about you too, so which option are you going to choose?"
Gu Jia struggled for a long time and asked:
"Gao Bin, can I ask where the overseas orders come from?"
"I'm not sure right now, either an amusement park or a luxury cruise ship."
No matter which one it is, it is a real big deal. Gu Jia nodded and said he understood.
"Can I go back and discuss it with Huan Shan?"
"Of course, with Xiaoqin here, the promise will always be valid." Gao Bin took the opportunity to give Zhong Xiaoqin some face.
Gu Jia smiled happily:
"Now I can safely leave Xiaoqin to you."
"Then you can rest assured."
...
Gu Jia returned downstairs, and Xu Huanshan was pacing at the door. When he heard the noise, he hurried up:
"How's it going? Did Gao Bin agree to help?"
"Xiaoqin also tried her best to get Gao Bin to let go for me. After all, he has helped us a lot, and I feel embarrassed to be like this all the time."
Xu Huanshan nodded:
"I know that we will definitely repay him in the future, but right now, we really need someone to help us get through the difficulties."
"Gao Bin gave us two plans..."
She briefly discussed the plan and took her husband to the sofa to sit down:
"The two plans are aimed at different directions. One can help us quickly solve the current difficulties, but one year later, how will we repay the principal and interest? This is a problem!"
After a pause, she leaned back, feeling a little tired, but she didn't stop talking:
"What about the other one? If the operation is good, you won't have to worry about it in the next few years, and you can enter the international market in one fell swoop. Are you still worried about not getting orders in the future?
But the problem is, this list can’t help us overcome the current difficulties. What if we can’t support the other party’s payment and go bankrupt?”
It's okay to let Xu Huanshan do the design, but this kind of decisive issue is really not suitable for him, and it gives him a headache just thinking about it.
"No, honey, I feel like I can't move my head."
Gu Jia looked at the crystal lamp above her head in trance. In fact, she had a third plan, which was to learn from Zhong Xiaoqin.
After taking that step, Gao Bin would definitely not give up and give both plans to Gu Jia.
But what’s the difference between going with Lao Wan in this way?
No, there is still a difference. If he had to take that step, Gu Jia would rather send herself to Gao Bin's bed than look at that old man again.
Of course, this plan cannot be told to Xu Huanshan, and Gu Jia is not willing to go to that step. In that case, she will look down on herself.
But, is there a better way?
Of course there is, but Gao Bin didn't say it and wanted to see if they could figure it out on their own.
If you think of it, everyone will be happy. If you don't think of it, you deserve to go bankrupt.
That is to continue to mortgage the house and use the loan money to solve the immediate problem.
On the other side, try your best to win the orders introduced by Gao Bin and open up the international market, then all problems will be solved.
In fact, this is not difficult to think of, but the authorities are confused and can easily not clearly see the situation they are in, so naturally it is not easy to think of this method.
No matter what, Gao Bin is worthy of Zhong Xiaoqin's efforts. As for what Gu Jia and the others will do, haha...
...
"Old Xu, that shot just now was not good. Let's take a five-minute break and try another one later."
"Okay!"
At this time, Gao Bin and the others were filming their new presidential sleeves at the Peninsula Hotel. Don’t ask, you’ll be paid for it.
Xu Wenchang walked out of the camera and stood aside to let the stylist touch up his makeup while chatting with Gao Bin:
"Eh? Lao Gao, you haven't been back to the store for a while. My colleagues all miss you."
"Really? Then go back and see some other time, and treat them to dinner by the way."
"Okay, I'll let you know. Don't regret it."
"No, a meal is still a big deal?"
"The store manager mentioned you a few days ago."
"Remember me?" Gao Bin was surprised.
Lao Xu squinted his eyes and kept saying:
"Yes, you are still a member of the store after all, so all the performance you have done these days is calculated under the store. Now our store is number one in the country, and the various bonuses and subsidies every month are several levels higher than before. p>
Everyone feels that they have benefited from you, so they have to rush to pay the bill without you treating them."
Gao Bin suddenly realized that he had not thought about that at all.
"Let me treat you. It's not easy for everyone to make some money."
"Yeah, I think so too. She and her parents still live in the old house in the alley."
Gao Bin thought for a while:
"Why don't you call her here to earn more money? I happen to be short of an assistant here, or if she is interested, you can train her to open an account. She is so beautiful, she has a chance to become an Internet celebrity."<
/p>
Lao Xu held down the makeup artist:
"Yeah, that's a good idea. Just wait, I'll call Twinkle."
Half an hour later, Zhu Xianxian hurriedly ran up. The peninsula was strictly managed, so she almost didn't come up.
"Aunt Xu, what's the best thing you can do for me to come over?"
Xu Wenchang just took a few shots. Today, he is in average condition. He keeps pronouncing words wrong. It’s been a while now and half of the shots haven’t been finished yet.
"Let your brother Bin say it, I still have to shoot." Lao Xu pointed at Gao Bin who was arranging the camera position.
"Oh, good!"
Zhu Shanshan responded and came to Gao Bin's side.
"Brother Bin?"
"Oh, is Twinkle coming?"
"Well, Aunt Xu asked me to find you."
"Yes, come with me and let's talk."
Handing the scene to the deputy, he took Zhu Xianxuan to the next room, closed the door, and got straight to the point:
"Do you want to make more money?"
"Of course I do, I've never dreamed of it!"
"Well, I'll give you two options. One is to work as an assistant next to me. There will be no project commission, but there will be various bonuses and subsidies, and the fixed salary will be higher than that of an agency."
After a pause:
"The other one requires you to spend some time receiving training, and then try to become an Internet celebrity, just like Lao Xu."
Zhu Xuanxuan was so confused that he forgot to reply for a moment.
"Twinkle?" Gao Bin called her.
"Ah, Brother Bin, I'm listening. I'm just too excited and don't know what to do."
"Don't make a decision in a hurry, go back and think about it, and let me know when you have figured it out."
"Okay, but I have never done these two jobs, so I don't know if I can do them well."
"No one is born with it, just learn it slowly. As long as you work hard, you will be fine."
Zhu Xianxian really doesn’t know what to choose. In fact, under Fang Sijin’s training, she has now found the secret of being an intermediary.
But she also knows that if you want to make money in this industry, you have to be like Gao Bin and Aunt Xu. But among so many intermediaries in China, how many can reach their level?
But now it is not easy for anyone to suddenly change her career and give up what she has just learned.
There was still filming outside, so Gao Bin didn't have time to chat with her, so he let her go after saying a few words.
This kind of effort was just a spur-of-the-moment effort. He didn’t take it seriously, let alone feel any sense of accomplishment. It was just something he did casually.
...
Eat one bite at a time, the days pass day by day, and the long summer will eventually pass.
It's autumn, and the inexorable heat is still hanging over the city. Being indoors without air conditioning is still like being in a steamer.
Gao Bin has been quiet recently. He sold two large flats sporadically and earned tens of thousands of yuan in commission as gas money.
Apart from that, he spent most of his time running a self-media company and a small workshop, investing more energy than he did controlling a consortium in his previous life.
She works during the day and sleeps on the sofa with Zhong Xiaoqin at night, living the little life she longs for most.
The men she loves accompany her to watch TV shows, drink wine, eat snacks, talk and laugh, and every corner of the house is filled with their laughter.
There was another friendly match before going to bed. Although most of the time it ended with Gao Bin winning, Zhong Xiaoqin never tired of it. Her overall condition was getting better day by day, and her body was becoming more and more feminine, so that many young men always looked at her.
It will swirl around her body.
But Zhong Xiaoqin always ignored it. There was only one person in her eyes - Gao Bin!
