My driving speed is always on the highway. When I feel the body shaking more and more, I know that I should step on the accelerator.
After parking the car, I never rush to take out the key.
Chen Siyu turned her head and looked out the window, leaving Lu Yang with a pure white profile.
Lu Yang asked her: "How do you plan to spend this winter vacation?"
Chen Siyu: “I want to travel.”
Lu Yang: "Where to go?"
Chen Siyu: "Sichuan-Tibet Line."
Lu Yang: "It's too cold, not suitable now."
Chen Siyu pushed Lu Yang off her body.
She finally took a breath.
"We have different pursuits. If someone is willing to accompany me on the Sichuan-Tibet Line in the future, then I will marry him."
“Are you talking about a self-driving tour or a walking tour?”
“Self-driving tour.”
Lu Yang felt a little relieved when he heard that it was a self-driving trip.
If I were hiking, I don’t know how I died.
He took Chen Siyu into his arms: "When I'm free, can I go with you?"
Chen Siyu looked up at Lu Yang: "You want to marry me?"
Lu Yang asked back: "You want to marry me?"
Chen Siyu shook his head: "My future husband must be a dedicated person. I don't care how many women he had before marriage, but he must be dedicated after marriage, otherwise..."
Lu Yang: "What else?"
Chen Siyu sneered: "Chemical castration!"
Lu Yang felt a cold, whooshing wind blowing through his lower body.
Too cruel!
He believed that Chen Siyu's cold and extreme personality could do such a thing.
At this time, Lu Yang's cell phone rang.
He let go of Chen Siyu and went to answer the phone.
The call was from Chen Wei. She said that the hotel had been booked and the annual meeting was scheduled for next week. She asked Lu Yang if he wanted to come over and take a look.
Lu Yang said he wouldn't go and see it, and that Chen Wei would make the decision.
He rarely interferes in the specific management of the company and only needs each department to report on its work progress on time.
After Lu Yang hung up the phone, he asked Chen Siyu, "Would you like to have dinner together?"
Chen Siyu asked: "Aren't you going to have dinner with your two girlfriends?"
Lu Yang sighed: "They found out and blocked me."
Chen Siyu smiled contemptuously: "No wonder you have time to find me, it turns out that's the case."
She got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Lu Yang also squeezed in.
"Would you like to have dinner together?"
"No time!"
"Forget it if you don't have time."
"Lu Yang, I'm going to take a shower, please get out."
"Let's wash it together. It's not like we haven't washed it before."
"No, get out quickly."
I don’t know why Chen Siyu resisted so much this time.
Lu Yang had no choice but to come out of the bathroom.
Chen Siyu: "My mother is coming over later, so you should go first."
Lu Yang:......
Why do I suddenly feel like I'm being used?
He got dressed and came out of Chen Siyu's house.
Alas, I never thought I would end up in this situation.
Lu Yang started the car and drove towards the company.
After arriving at the company, there was already a New Year atmosphere here.
For example, the office area is decorated with cute little lanterns, and some walls are decorated with blessing characters.
When Lu Yang came back, Chen Wei had just returned from Orange Hotel.
She followed Lu Yang to the office.
"Lu Yang, I met a man at the hotel and he said he wanted to meet you."
"who?"
"Zhao Huasheng, CEO of Huasheng Real Estate."
Lu Yang thought to himself, what is the real estate agent doing with me? The two parties are not in the same circle.
Chen Wei said: "I heard that Huasheng Real Estate's capital chain was broken and it couldn't even pay the construction workers below. They are surrounded by a group of workers every day."
Lu Yang: "If the capital chain is broken, why don't you go to the bank for a loan?"
Chen Wei: "You don't know? The president of Bingzhou Bank was taken away just a few days ago for illegally approving loans to Huasheng Real Estate."
Lu Yang suddenly realized that the reason he came to visit him at this time must be to raise funds.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
Lu Yang took a look and saw that it was a call from Liu Xingyao.
Chen Wei also knew Liu Xingyao.
Lu Yang answered the phone: "Hello, Brother Liu."
Liu Xingyao: "Lu Yang, are you in the company?"
Lu Yang: "Here he is."
Liu Xingyao: "I'm downstairs in your company. Are you free now?"
Lu Yang responded.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Chen Wei.
Chen Wei: "What do you want me to do for you?"
Lu Yang: "I didn't say anything on the phone."
After waiting for a while, Liu Xingyao came up in a hurry.
Secretary Zhang Shuyao saw a visitor coming to Mr. Lu’s office and came over to make tea.
Upon seeing this, Chen Wei got up and left.
Lu Yang exchanged pleasantries with Liu Xingyao.
Since Lu Yang bought a house last time, he and Liu Xingyao didn't spend much time together.
Because Liu Xingyao’s circle is more exciting than Lu Yang’s.
Racing, bars, looking for women, a life of extravagance and extravagance.
Lu Yang handed Liu Xingyao a cigarette: "Brother Liu, what do you want from me?"
Liu Xingyao sighed: "Don't mention it, the step is too big and the capital chain is broken."
Lu Yang suddenly thought that the Huasheng Real Estate mentioned by Chen Wei just now was not related to Liu Xingyao, right?
Liu Xingyao began to complain to Lu Yang.
It turns out that there are two real estate companies under their family name, one is run by Liu Xingyao, and the other is Huasheng Real Estate trained by his father.
Among them, Zhao Huasheng of Huasheng Real Estate is Liu Xingyao’s biological uncle.
The cause of the matter was Liu Xingyao's crazy acquisition of land. He felt that house prices would appreciate in the future and it would be a good thing to hoard more land now, so he dragged Zhao Huasheng to acquire land together.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with real estate land acquisition, but all their sources of funds depended on bank loans.
With the bank president being taken away a few days ago, this thunder was revealed.
At the end of 2004, due to the impact of the China National Aviation Oil incident, many units began to investigate non-performing assets and unstable loans.
The bank president was discovered during this investigation.
Here I have to mention a document: the release of the Eight Articles of the Nation.
As ordinary people, we will not know this news until next year.
But many industry bosses received the news early.
The entire real estate industry has become wary.
Liu Xingyao's family started out by relying on coal, but the prices in the coal industry have been stable in the past two years without major fluctuations.
Their family's capital chain became tense immediately after acquiring the land.
Lu Yang: "How do you want me to help you?"
Liu Xingyao: "I don't have to take care of things at home, it's the real estate company under my name. You have to help me."
Lu Yang smiled and said, "What a coincidence, your uncle also contacted me before and wanted to discuss cooperation with me."
Liu Xingyao was stunned for a moment: "My uncle Zhao Huasheng came to see you?"
Lu Yang: "Today, Chen Wei went to a hotel to hold an annual meeting and met your uncle. When he found out that it was the annual meeting held by Renren, he chatted with Chen Wei for a few words."
Liu Xingyao coughed: "Actually, everyone in our family knows you. I often brag about your awesomeness at dinner parties."
Lu Yang:......
Liu Xingyao looked at the office workers outside from his office and suddenly regretted that he had not started working on the Internet with Lu Yang.
Because the money on the Internet is so lucrative.
As long as the Internet can occupy the market, it will basically make money while lying down.
Unlike the real estate industry, the energy put in is too strenuous.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Liu Xingyao went to Lu Yang to make it official.
Lu Yang asked: "How big is your funding gap?"
Liu Xingyao stretched out four fingers.
Lu Yang: "Forty million?"
Liu Xingyao nodded.
Lu Yang shook his head helplessly: "I really can't help with this. Our company doesn't have that much money in its books."
Liu Xingyao was a little unconvinced: "I heard from the outside world that Renren's valuation reaches seven to eight billion."
Lu Yang smiled: "You also know that that is the company's valuation. If you really want to sell it, you don't have that much money."
Renren currently has a total of just over 10 million on its books.
Lu Yang has long calculated that next year will be the explosive period for Renren's profits.
That's it this year.
Liu Xingyao fell silent after hearing Lu Yang's explanation.
He didn't know exactly how much money Lu Yang Company had.
Whether or not you can help with this kind of thing depends entirely on the person's will.
The relationship between him and Lu Yang can only be regarded as that of ordinary friends. They first started to interact because of interests.
Liu Xingyao said: "Lu Yang, has your company considered relocation?"
Lu Yang: "Where to move?"
Liu Xingyao introduced a project to Lu Yang, the Shenghua Building located on Binhe Road.
The property rights were originally in the hands of Huasheng Real Estate, but were later transferred to Liu Xingyao's company. Construction was originally planned to start after the year, but due to the break in the capital chain, it faced the risk of being mortgaged and auctioned by the bank.
Lu Yang asked: "What's the price?"
Liu Xingyao: "The land auction price at that time was more than three million, and the project cost was almost more than two million."
More than five million to build a company headquarters of your own?
This doesn't seem to be impossible.
Lu Yang remembers clearly that in 2006, Internet giant Sohu spent US$277 million to buy the Weixin International Building in Wudaokou, Yanjing.
What was US$270 million in 2006? It was enough to buy the entire goose factory.
This investment made Sohu lose a lot of money. Although it did not achieve a one-hundred-fold increase, Weixin International Tower is now valued at at least 3.4 billion, and this investment also made Sohu a lot of money.
Later, Sohu bought two more buildings one after another.
Today, Sohu's total value is as high as 6.7 billion, and its office buildings are worth more than Sohu's market value.
Since then, there has been a popular saying in the circle.
Those who start a business will never be as good as those who speculate in real estate!
The CEO of Sohu even said: Why the hell would I start a business? If I had chosen to directly speculate in real estate, Sohu would now be worth at least tens of billions.
Seeing that Lu Yang was interested, Liu Xingyao introduced the project in detail and said that he could take Lu Yang for on-site inspection at any time.
His company currently has a large funding gap in its books, and his family has too much to take care of. He can find someone to plug part of the gap and ease the pressure.
Lu Yang did not agree in a hurry, but made an appointment with Liu Xingyao and decided to go and have a look before talking.
Liu Xingyao invited Lu Yang to have dinner.
Lu Yang thought about it and realized that this was a characteristic of the real estate industry. It was a one-stop shop for eating, drinking and having fun, so the project was basically stable.
He declined, saying he would give Liu Xingyao an answer as soon as possible.
After sending Liu Xingyao away, Lu Yang came to Chen Wei for discussion.
When Chen Wei heard that Lu Yang was planning to buy land again, she was a little worried.
She frowned and said, "Why are you spending money randomly again? Wouldn't it be better to save some money?"
Lu Yang looked at Chen Wei looking like a housekeeper.
I have never seen Chen Wei manage the company like this before.
Chen Wei was a little uncomfortable being looked at by Lu Yang.
"We just spent 5 million to buy land in Yangcheng some time ago, and the real estate company only has a team of five or six people."
"We will spend another five million this time. If the company needs money in the future, where will we find the money?"
Lu Yang explained: "We can play financing. Today's investment institutions all like Internet companies."
Chen Wei: "Don't you want to go public in China in the future? If you raise too much money, it will be difficult to go public in China."
Lu Yang smiled: "Sister Wei, don't worry, the real estate industry has just started, and the output value will be higher and higher in the future. We will definitely make a profit from this investment."
What else does Chen Wei want to say.
Lu Yang interrupted her: "Besides, Shenghua Building is intended to be used by our company, so there will be no rent costs in the future.
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really easy to use. Download it here www. Come and try it. 】
He took out a map of Bingzhou and introduced it to Chen Wei.
"You see, there is a piece of land behind the Shenghua Building. In the future, this area will be developed into a high-tech industrial zone. We will acquire two more pieces of land behind it to build apartments for employees."
Seeing that Lu Yang had made up his mind, Chen Wei had no choice but to nod.
Lu Yang asked her to go on a field trip with her in two days.
…
A week passed quickly.
The annual Spring Festival has arrived.
Even though it is the end of January in 2005 on the Gregorian calendar, people still habitually refer to it as 2004.
In our eyes, the end of the Spring Festival is the real year of 2005.
The eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
The day when the annual meeting of Renren.com is held.
Orange Hotel provides free shuttle bus to pick up Renren employees.
At the same time, several business Buick cars followed, carrying Renren executives.
They already know that today is the day when the company distributes year-end bonuses, and everyone has smiles on their faces.
Lu Yang's secretary Zhang Shuyao was stationed at the check-in counter in the banquet hall on the sixth floor of the hotel, mainly to prevent outsiders from sneaking in to eat and drink.
She has short, ear-length hair and wears a professional suit, giving people a clean and neat impression.
As more and more employees arrived, the atmosphere at the venue gradually became lively.
Chen Wei, wearing a brown windbreaker, also entered the venue.
She looked around and didn't see Lu Yang.
So, Chen Wei asked Zhang Shuyao: "Where is Mr. Lu?"
Zhang Shuyao: "Mr. Lu just called and said he just arrived downstairs."
Chen Wei walked downstairs.
At the same time, a black Volkswagen slowly parked in the parking lot of the Orange Hotel.
After Lu Yang got off the car, he saw a Land Rover parked on the left and a Porsche parked on the right, but his Volkswagen looked small and cheap.
Why can't I think of changing my car if I'm so rich?
I must buy myself a Rolls-Royce next year.
When Chen Wei came over, she saw Lu Yang sizing up the Porsche.
"What? You want to change cars?"
"When Gaoluo gives himself a new car next year, do you want to change it?"
"If you don't want to exchange it, if you want to give me the car, just give me a discount."
Lu Yang: "You women are so realistic!"
Chen Wei saw Lu Yang's suitcase.
"What's inside?"
"Money, money given to employees."
There are two to three million in this box.
Lu Yang and Chen Wei entered the venue, and all the employees in the hall stood up to greet Lu Yang.
Lu Yang also responded with a smile one by one.
Arriving at the rostrum in the middle of the hall, he and Chen Wei put the two suitcases on it.
According to corporate practice, as a founder, you should announce the achievements achieved this year, then enjoy the future blueprint, and finally encourage employees to be motivated.
Lu Yang wasn't going to talk long, so he picked up the phone and cleared his throat.
The employees outside the venue gradually became quiet and looked at the young and outrageous boss.
They all said privately: It only took Mr. Lu two years to reach the top of the mountain...
