After seeing Cheng Xi home, Cao Mo got out of the taxi and saw Jiaying's lake blue mini cooper parked outside the courtyard gate.
The leaves of the sycamore tree were withered, and from a distance he saw light coming from the car. Cao Mo went over and saw Jiaying and Lily still sitting in the car chatting.
"Why, you won't spend the night in the car, right?" Cao Mo asked as he knocked on the car window.
"Brother, do you think we should install a camera on the door eaves?" Jiaying asked a little worriedly.
"It's just a Mini. As for you, weren't you very excited last night? Do you want a Ferrari? If I really want to buy you a Ferrari, even if there is a camera, will you be able to sleep at night?" Cao Mo reached in and pulled the car over.
Ying's hair was messed up and she smiled, "Be more promising!"
"You have to give me time to get used to you piling 400,000 banknotes outside the yard, then I can rest assured?" Jiaying shouted.
Cao Mo saw that the lights in the courtyard were still dim and asked, "Dad, he hasn't come back yet?"
"I just called him and said he was sleeping in a hotel. Only a ghost would believe him!" Jiaying said.
The house here barely has four rooms. Lily is staying at his house during the Spring Festival and has to share a room with Jiaying. It can only be said to be barely enough, but if she wants to live more comfortably, she also wants someone who can handle it.
For work, a study room where books and materials are stacked, and a tea room where people can chat, are not enough.
And if Chen Rong and his father really live together in an open relationship, although Chen Rong has a house there, his father seems to be a bit chauvinistic, so he may not be able to be shameless enough to live and eat...
Cao Mo patted his head and thought that I had always helped my son to consider housing after marriage. How could any son help me consider housing after marriage?
Cao Mo held up the car window and said to Jiaying: "If the relationship between Aunt Rong and our father becomes public, the house at home will definitely not be enough to live in. Today my father happened to tell me that he wants to leave the renovated house vacant for three or four months.
I rented No. 118 Tianzifang to open a private restaurant. He thought that the house was under someone else's name, so I lied to him and said that he would directly transfer the house to my name in two days, but I didn't want to really take the house.
What kind of private restaurant should be opened in the house? The decorations are arranged there, and our family can move there after the new year..."
Although No. 118 Tianzifang is not completely renovated and decorated according to family standards and is more business-like than a home, as long as the curtains, murals and other soft furnishings are adjusted, there will be no problem at all.
Moving to No. 118 Tianzifang, in addition to five bedrooms with separate bathrooms, there are also two separate study rooms and a tea room; the dining room, kitchen, living room, and front and rear patios are all much more spacious than here; after all,
If the area is doubled, it will be more than enough for Chen Rong and his father to live in, and there is no need to consider additional housing matters.
Although the main street of Tianzifang is closed to vehicles, the street has built a new underground parking lot nearby, which actually solves the parking problem.
"Okay!" Jiaying exclaimed excitedly, "I was still thinking about how to make up this lie so that I can move in early! Why do I have to wait until the next year? I can move in tomorrow!"
"The day after tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, how can we move tomorrow in time?" Seeing Jiaying being so impatient, Cao Mo smiled and asked her to slow down.
"You don't have to worry about this. I'll be responsible for it with the old lady. But we agreed that the east-facing room on the second floor will be given to me," Jiaying shouted.
If it hadn't been almost twelve o'clock now, she could have taken two quilts and slept directly in the house in Tianzifang. Although Cao Mo bought the house secretly, it had always been her favorite house.

"What, we are moving today. Where are you moving to?"
Early the next morning, Cao Xiong whistled and walked into his house with a bunch of breakfast. He was shocked when he saw his daughter Jiaying sitting on the sofa in the living room, excitedly calling someone to move her.
"That house in Tianzifang, I made an agreement with the boss of his company last night to pay the first payment today. Why don't you move there today?" Jiaying lied without changing her expression.
She asked her father sternly.
"You have to wait until the settlement is completed." Cao Xiong felt that this matter was too urgent and it was not reliable at all.
"The other party is not an outsider. He is the boss of his company. Aunt Rong is supporting us. We have to pay the first payment today. Are you still worried that he will regret it?" Jiaying said coquettishly, "Besides, we have the manpower to move. I have a morning
But we have made an appointment, and the house here can be freed up, and it can be tidied up after the new year!"
The old house was renovated once, more than three years ago in the hands of Jiaying and Mrs. Cao. In addition to the subsidy given by the street, they were willing to invest 20,000 yuan, mainly remodeling the bathroom; and No. 118 Tianzifang invested 200 yuan.
Decoration is completely two different things.
"Where's your brother?" Cao Xiong asked.
"Uh-huh!" Cao Mo walked out of the bathroom with a toothbrush bowl, and there was still toothpaste in his mouth, and he said vaguely, "I told Jiaying that I would buy that house and open a private room for you.
restaurant, but Jiaying said that she has no problem opening a private restaurant, so she must move in."
Muxiang B&B is still a small-capital operation. In order to fully utilize the company's human resources, it is appropriate to open a new private restaurant in Tianzifang based on Muxiang B&B.
Cao Mo didn't care. He rarely lived at home for a month or two a year, but Jiaying definitely didn't want to use the most perfect house in her mind to open a restaurant.
Cao Xiong shook his head helplessly.
While he was in prison, both his son and daughter were in the most important period of their lives, and he was unable to take care of them. However, they took good care of themselves, and they were used to making their own decisions on many things.
"You and the boss of your company have agreed on how much the first payment is, and I can get 400,000 from Muxiang B&B!" Cao Xiong asked Cao Mo.
"I have enough money in hand. I can even get a consulting fee when I go to the company today!" Cao Mo thought to himself that Muxiang B&B has just started this year and may have a profit of 800,000 to 900,000 yuan. Even if this profit is invested in the follow-up,
The development and expansion speed will not be very fast, how can his father extract profits from it?
…………
…………
Even on Sunday when the Spring Festival is approaching, Dongsheng Building is not deserted.
Cao Mo rushed to Cornero Food and stayed in Song Yuqing's office. He saw that Song Yuqing had just signed the application report for the company's employee year-end bonus and was preparing to make a financial transfer for weekend overtime work.
"Do you want to review it?" Song Yuqing looked at Cao Mo sitting there surfing the Internet, looking like he was doing nothing, and handed the application report to him and asked.
"It hurts to see it
, I won’t read it." Cao Mo refused.
Tianyue also took an office on the same floor as Tianyue's office in Xinhai, and was responsible for liaison with Huachen Industrial in the early stage.
Xu Bin and Xu Lizheng will also come here to work when they return to China.
Cao Mo hadn't stayed in Song Yuqing's office for long when Zhou Han knocked on the door and walked in with Xu Bin.
Shen Ji did not tell Xu Bin the results of the initial communication with Dong Chengpeng. Cao Mo thought that he and Dong Chengpeng would meet first to see if there was any room for change, so he said to Xu Bin: "If you ask someone to buy me a Huachen motorcycle, I will It’s always inconvenient to go back to Xinhai without a car!”
"Ah!" Xu Bin was stunned for a long time and asked hesitantly, "There are ready-made Huachen 100, Huachen 150 and Huachen 200 vehicles in the office. If you drive it yourself, why don't you buy a Ducat?" Dee or Kawasaki?”
Cao Mo wants to build a motorcycle in China to experience the driving pleasure that is different from that of a sports car, and Xu Bin understands that he does not want to be too arrogant. High-end motorcycle brands such as Ducati and Kawasaki have quite good heavy-duty motorcycles to choose from. , but the domestic sales price of Huachen motorcycles is only 3,000 to 4,000, and they have disappeared from the motorcycle market in Xinhai.
"I support you in building product development and testing experimental vehicles in China. No matter how ugly the models you develop in the future, I will always try it myself when I have the opportunity. Don't try to fool me in the future," Cao Mo said, " Is the Huachen 200 licensed? Is it parked in the underground garage under the school?"
"We all parked in the showroom of the office, received several groups of customers, and all asked to test drive, so we simply got the license plate..." Xu Bin said.
There was nothing to do. Cao Mo took Zhou Han, Song Yuqing and Xu Bin to the Tianyue office and saw that the exhibition hall of more than 20 square meters was divided by glass and illuminated by lights. Several brand new Huachen motorcycles. , and it also feels quite sparkling.
In addition to several main models being sold in West Africa, some motorcycle suits and helmets are also hung on the walls for decoration.
"Should I prepare a motorcycle suit for you? Let me forget it, it doesn't match!" Xu Bin thought about it and felt that preparing a motorcycle suit for Cao Mo to drive the Huachen motorcycle was a bit redundant, so he just asked himself Just deny it outright.
Cao Mo had driven the Huachen 200 several times in Kanem. Although it was far from comparable to a real heavy-duty off-road motorcycle, the stability and power were quite good on the bad dirt road in Lonta, so he just asked the staff to Help push the car from the elevator downstairs.
"Which one of you will sit behind me? I'm very skilled, so you can sit on it. I'll take you for a ride." Cao Mo sat on the motorcycle and turned around to ask Song Yuqing and Zhou Han.
Two women stood on the steps, and no one wanted to talk to him.
"Just hate the poor and love the rich. When I drive a Ferrari one day, I won't take you for a ride!" Cao Mo put on his helmet and waved his fist.
"That car of yours is too ugly. You won't really drive it on the street? Why don't I give you my retired Porsche after I switch to a McLaren later this year?" Shen Ji said in the office of the Overseas Department. When I saw Cao Mo testing the car downstairs, I couldn't help but call him to complain.
"The four-cylinder engine used in the Huachen 200 is the most advanced among domestic mainstream models. If Tianyue really wants to set up a product development laboratory, the first step is to buy the full set of technology for this engine for subsequent development." Now we need to support them with practical actions." Cao Mo parked the car in front of the building, took the phone from Song Yuqing, and joked with Shen Ji, "How about I ask Xu Bin to give you a Huachen 200 as well? ?The power is really good, and it also feels like it pushes your back! Think about it, if there is a girl with big breasts sitting behind you, and you are driving on bumpy roads, the feeling of being hit on your back is what you feel Can you enjoy it by driving a supercar?”
The two girls, Song Yuqing and Zhou Han, gave him a blank look at the same time. Fortunately, they were not stupid enough to sit on the car and accompany him to test the car.
"No, wait until Tianyue develops a new road motorcycle, and I'll get another one to play with!" Shen Ji resisted on the phone.
"Dong Chengpeng is here?" Cao Mo asked.
"The Real Estate Department will have a meeting later. Dong Chengpeng will attend. You can join us later," Shen Ji said.
"Why should I attend the meeting of the Real Estate Department?" Cao Mo said with great resistance in his heart.
"Even if you won't be involved in domestic real estate investment for the time being, it won't hurt to learn more about it. If you don't want to come over, then I'll go down and invite you?" Shen Ji said on the phone.
"Maybe Ding Zhaoqiang meant it?" Song Yuqing guessed after Cao Mo hung up the phone.
Cao Mo asked the staff to park the motorcycle directly in the parking space in front of the building, then took the car key and went upstairs.
…………
…………
There were still a few unprocessed emails in the laptop. Cao Mo reluctantly took the laptop and rushed to the real estate department to meet with Shen Ji.
Although it was a meeting of the real estate department, Cao Mo walked into the conference room and saw Dong Chengpeng, Chen Rong and other senior executives of the group sitting next to Ding Zhaoqiang, and then Xu Zhi and other senior executives of the real estate department sat in a circle around the conference table. All of them look like dogs and have extraordinary appearances.
Cao Mo pretended not to see the look in Ding Zhaoqiang's direction and glanced at the two empty seats on Chen Rong's left. He took his laptop and sat directly against the wall next to Xu Xin.
I haven't seen her for a while. Today, Xu Xin is wearing a gray-brown professional attire. The trousers are very slim. The curves of her slender straight legs and plump buttocks are beautifully outlined. Her smooth black hair is like a black waterfall. It hangs down and covers half of the face. The straight bridge of the nose is more delicate, and it is the perfect match with the charming and attractive sandalwood lips.
Xu Xin was originally looking at the information in her hand. It took a while before she felt someone sitting next to her. She turned around and saw Cao Mo. She was a little frightened. She opened her beautiful black eyes and stared at Cao Mo from close range. After a while, I suddenly realized that this would cause a bigger misunderstanding and quickly turned back.
Cao Mo also pretended to be unfamiliar and sat there, opened his laptop and continued to read emails.
After all, Xu Xin couldn't hold back. She raised her hand to hold a folder, half-hiding her pretty face, and whispered to Cao Mo: "Your seat is occupied!"
Cao Mo looked up and looked around. There was indeed only one empty seat left outside the conference table, and Tian Zhen was standing in front of the conference table playing with the computer. He seemed to be preparing the material to be discussed in the meeting. This should be Tian Zhen's seat.
He whispered: "It's okay, let her sit on my lap later."
Xu Xin wanted to hit Cao Mo with the folder, but she finally held back.
After Tian Zhen fiddled with the computer, she turned around and suddenly saw Cao Mo sitting in her seat, and was also startled.
Tian Zhen, like most people in the conference room, thought that Cao Mo had followed Shen Ji to the meeting.
There was only one corner seat left, so it was normal for Cao Mo to sit there, but where should she sit?
Tian Zhen was a little confused.
"Xiaotian, sit next to Mr. Shen." Ding Zhaoqiang pointed to the empty seat next to Shen Ji and said to Tian Zhen.
Except for a few people in the conference room who have academic qualifications but have not been beaten hard by the real world, the others are either veterans who have followed the Ding family in the business world, or elites hired by Ding Zhaoqiang from the industry to strengthen their real estate development capabilities.
Ding Zhaoqiang's simple words immediately made many people realize that the empty seat next to Shen Ji was reserved for Cao Mo, who walked into the conference room with Shen Ji.
Most people in the conference room didn't recognize Cao Mo yet, so they all looked at him.
"What is there on your face that everyone is looking at?" Cao Mo asked Xu Xin seriously.
Xu Xin was startled and reached out to touch her face, but didn't find anything. She quickly took out her makeup mirror to see if there was anything there, but she suddenly attracted so many eyes.
everything is normal.
But it was her panicked movements at this moment that attracted a lot of attention.
Xu Xin immediately realized that Cao Mo was teasing her, but with so many people watching, she could only silently prick Cao Mo's "villain" in her heart.
The meeting was chaired by Xu Zhi, who first introduced the operation status of the real estate department’s development projects in the past year.
At present, Dongsheng Real Estate's projects under construction and in reserve are mainly concentrated in Xinhai City. Five projects have entered the sales stage, with annual sales of up to 12 billion yuan and net profit of 2 billion yuan.
In project development and construction, funds can not only be invested on a rolling basis, but can also be amplified by borrowing financial leverage. Cao Mo was called over for a meeting at the last minute. He didn't prepare any materials, but he turned his head to look at the information in Xu Xin's hand and saw Dongsheng in these five days. The self-raised capital investment in each real estate project is less than 4 billion, but it has a net profit of 2 billion, and there is even a net profit of 2 billion that has not been released. It is no wonder that Ding Zhaoqiang is so determined to Dongsheng's strategic development focus is tilted towards real estate.
At present, the net assets of Dongsheng Grain and Oils Department have reached 6 billion, and they contributed 1.3 billion in net profits in 2006. Thanks to the outbreak of the commodity market, in previous years, they were even less than half of this amount; and last year, another listed company The main business, aluminum profiles and many related finishing products, only brought Dongsheng a net profit of less than 700 million.
By comparing it like this, we can see how huge the profits that real estate project development can bring to big capital.
This kind of performance also makes everyone here feel excited. Continue to expand the scale of the real estate business and strive for independence or backdoor listing in two or three years. This will definitely bring the size of Dongsheng Group to a new level.
Among the new development projects to be added by the Ministry of Real Estate, Ziying New City in Chonghai Industrial Park is not the only super project. The funds required to be invested in the next two years are extremely huge.
It's no wonder that Ding Zhaoqiang wanted to summon the core figures from various departments to participate in the real estate department meeting.
This is also to further emphasize where Dongsheng’s development focus will be in the next two to three years.
Of course, attending this meeting can only deepen Cao Mo's understanding of the development of the domestic real estate industry, and it will not have a direct relationship with him in a short period of time...
…………
…………
He made an appointment to have a talk with Dong Chengpeng, but after the meeting, he saw that Ding Zhaoqiang was dragging Dong Chengpeng and he still had something to talk about. Cao Mo didn't want to join in, so he went back to the overseas department first.
Cao Mo waited in the overseas department for more than half an hour before he saw Shen Ji walking over accompanied by Dong Chengpeng. Xu Xin was holding a folder and followed behind with her mobile phone.
Xu Xin is a senior assistant to the president's office of the group. As long as the president's office has arrangements, it is natural to intervene in the work of any department. Cao Mo guessed that Ding Zhaoqiang may have specially arranged for her to collect and summarize information about Tianyue and him.
Shen Ji walked to the front desk and waved Cao Mo to his office.
After sitting down, Dong Chengpeng went straight to the topic: "You also participated in today's meeting. The group is in urgent need of funds to invest in the development of real estate projects. However, the development prospects of Tianyue are quite good and it is quite clear that it is a high-quality project under Hexi. If Xu Bin, Xu Lizheng and others really want to take over He Xi's share of the equity, the price cannot be lowered..."
"Hexi has Hexi's position. I can understand it. I'm afraid Xu Bin and the others won't be able to afford this price for the time being, and I won't decide anything for them," Cao Mo asked with a slight frown when he saw that Dong Chengpeng was more determined. , "Mr. Dong, what do you think about Xu Bin and the others' subsequent development plans for Tianyue?"
"I also know a little bit about the West African motorcycle market,"
In Dong Chengpeng's eyes, Cao Mo's unexpected success at this time was mostly due to luck, and he had no intention of hiding his true thoughts, saying,
"Huachen's current motorcycles carry both people and cargo, and they have sufficient power. It has been proven that the existing Huachen motorcycles are very suitable for the West African market. In just ten or eight years, we can't see how big the West African market will be." Changes. During this period of time, we can get all the profits we deserve, what else is there to be dissatisfied with? It is necessary to compete in an environment that is destined to be narrow and the competitors are not that strong in terms of capital, market and technology. In the field, take this risk? Xu Bin is too idealistic, and whether he can manage the entire large system of R&D, production, and sales has actually not been tested. He looks down on Hua Chen in every possible way, but Tianyue Currently, we are still making money from Huachen’s products. Can we really reduce costs by bypassing Huachen?”
Xu Bin had his own ideas, but Dong Chengpeng's position was more solid, and it could even be said that he was quite dissatisfied with Xu Bin's attitude.
At this time, Cao Mo was sure that the post-investment manager who had a conflict with Xu Bin yesterday was the one promoted by Dong Chengpeng as a villain.
He had no intention of having a serious showdown with Dong Chengpeng. After pondering for a while, he changed the subject and asked:
"I have also noticed that the country has been advocating the development of high-precision technologies, new materials, new energy and other emerging industries. I have no right to speak in this regard. I don't know if Hexi has any ideas or actions in this regard. ?”
"When Hexi Fund was established, the original plan was to develop in emerging industries such as new materials, new energy, and environmental protection. We successively screened some targets, but none of them were ideal, and the inside story is hard to describe. As for the so-called high-tech In other words, subsidies and investments are being defrauded everywhere. I doubt whether the Chinese people, who are fundamentally too slick, are down-to-earth in making technology and products. If you are interested in this gene, the President’s Office has some relevant materials. , I'll ask Assistant Xu to bring it to you..." After that, Dong Chengpeng said that there was another important meeting at the fund, and he said goodbye and left.
