Chapter 1553 Jiang Chen Saves the Beauty, Shuo Bing Wants Revenge
"Approximately how much rent do you receive each month?" Jiang Chen asked instead of answering Liao Sha's question.

“The houses we acquire might all be small houses, and the larger ones have all been renovated. The current monthly rent is about seven million…” Liao Sha replied, “However, we are acquiring houses every month, so the rent will increase every month.”

Jiang Chen was deep in thought.

What Liao Sha didn't mention was that rents in Shanghai are rising every year.

Based on the properties Liao Sha has acquired, the rent next year could increase by at least 30%.

“President Jiang…” Liao Sha looked at Jiang Chen.

“I will arrange for the rent to be deposited into the account in a moment. We will continue to acquire houses, but this time we will acquire both old and small houses,” Jiang Chen said.

"Old house? Small house?"

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded.

It's already September 2017, and the real estate market is at its final stage.

Although acquisitions are still needed, the direction of those acquisitions must be changed.

The old house might be demolished for redevelopment, and the smaller house could be rented out more easily.

"Mr. Jiang, will housing prices fall in the future?" Liao Sha asked.

"Yes, but there's at least two more years of growth ahead," Jiang Chen replied.

"Two years of growth? So, it will fall in two years?" Liao Sha murmured.

"Yes, so starting next year, I'll consider selling those houses that have seen significant price increases." Liao Sha now manages a real estate agency. She also lists the acquired properties under the agency's listings. The acquisition funds are naturally from loans.

During this period, Liao Sha has already established partnerships with several banks, and with Jiang Chen's own Huanyu Bank, there is absolutely no need to worry about funding issues.

"Next year? I understand." Liao Sha nodded in realization.

"in addition……"

Jiang Chen inquired with Liao Sha about the acquisition progress over the past few months.

Liao Sha is very forthcoming with her knowledge.

a long time.

"Liao Sha, you've really had a tough time these past few days," Jiang Chen said.

"Mr. Jiang, this is what I should do." Liao Sha didn't feel it was a hardship. If it weren't for Jiang Chen, how could she have such a job? If it weren't for Jiang Chen, how could she have bought a house and a car in Shanghai?
"Haha, don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly." Jiang Chen smiled and said, "It's September now, I'll give you a big red envelope at the end of the year."

"Then I'll thank you in advance, President Jiang." Liao Sha smiled as well.

Jiang Chen smiled and started chatting with Liao Sha.

Liao Sha was tricked by Jiang Chen from Xiamen.

This is also why Liao Sha's life trajectory was completely changed.

If Liao Sha were still in Xiamen, she might be married by now.

Of course, Jiang Chen wouldn't mention this.

After chatting for a while, Liao Sha asked, "President Jiang, you own a real estate company, so why do you still need to buy a house?"

“Is there a conflict? I have my own real estate company, and I don’t have many projects in Shanghai. Buying houses and building houses are two different things. Besides, I’m just one of the shareholders of the real estate company, while the houses in the real estate agency you’re running now belong to me,” Jiang Chen said.

In truth, Jiang Chen understood that his reasoning was rather far-fetched. However, there were some things he couldn't say outright in front of Liao Sha, so this was the only way he could offer.

Finally, Jiang Chen said, "In short, I'll just make a little money using the current housing prices."

"Make a little money?" Liao Sha was speechless.

The houses currently listed on Qiyi Real Estate Agency (a real estate agency managed by Liao Sha) have already earned over a billion yuan, and these houses are still very easy to sell.

“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded: “Spending billions of dollars and only making a few billion in profit is nothing, isn’t it?”

"President Jiang, you're amazing." Liao Sha found herself having countless things to say but not knowing how to express them.

She felt that Jiang Chen was too Versailles.

“I have a lot of money and connections with banks, which is why I speculated in real estate,” Jiang Chen smiled and said. “Liao Sha, if you want to manage your finances, you can buy stocks.”

"Buy stocks?" Liao Sha was slightly taken aback.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Liao Sha, you know my identity, and the financial market is where I invest. Short-term trading is not suitable for you, but long-term trading is the most suitable."

“I’ve looked at them before, but it’s hard to get a good grasp of them,” Liao Sha said.

"You can buy Moutai."

Jiang Chen said, "As the best baijiu in China, there are three reasons why it can be a long-term investment. First, a stable industrial supply chain. Second, extremely high brand barriers. Third, excellent business performance..."

Finally, Jiang Chen said, "Liao Sha, if you trust me, you can try buying it."

Liao Sha's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "President Jiang, is the price of Moutai now over 500?"

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Ignoring profit sharing, I think the price could exceed two thousand."

"Two thousand?" Liao Sha's expression changed slightly.

“Yes.” Jiang Chen felt that with his control over the First World, Moutai’s stock price might rise even more.

"President Jiang, you..." Liao Sha hesitated before speaking.

“Many.” Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

“I understand.” Liao Sha’s heart stirred.

The predecessor of Xingchen Group was Xingchen Capital, which earned its first pot of gold from the financial market.

It can be said that Jiang Chen is a big shot in the financial market.

"Don't tell anyone, consider this a perk I'm giving you," Jiang Chen said.

"Hmm." Liao Sha had heard before that you shouldn't rely on rumors when investing in stocks, but was what Jiang Chen said a rumor?
This can be considered inside information.

In this world, profit is the primary driver, and inside stories are everywhere.

“I’ll tell you before I go. But whether you carry it out is up to you. If you can’t overcome your greed, I’m afraid…” Jiang Chen didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang." Liao Sha understood what Jiang Chen meant.

After chatting with Liao Sha for a while, Jiang Chen left the coffee shop.

"Mr. Jiang, I'll take my leave now," Liao Sha said to Jiang Chen at the entrance of the coffee shop.

“Okay. But, is your car parked in the parking lot up ahead?” Jiang Chen asked.

“Yes.” Liao Sha nodded.

"Then let's go together," Jiang Chen said.

"Mm." Liao Sha nodded.

At that moment, Jiang Chen and Liao Sha walked together toward the parking lot in the distance.

The two of them walked and talked.

However, unlike their previous business conversations in the coffee shop's private room, Jiang Chen and Liao Sha were now chatting about interesting things.

With Jiang Chen's eloquence, he quickly became familiar with Liao Sha.

Just then, the song "Sprinkler Truck" came on.

Jiang Chen turned his head and saw a water truck drive by.

The water droplets shot skyward and roared in.

"Be careful."

Jiang Chen pulled Liao Sha behind a nearby billboard.

"President Jiang, you..."

After being pulled behind the billboard by Jiang Chen, Liao Sha finally realized what was happening and looked at Jiang Chen with some surprise.

“You’re wearing a white shirt today. If you get splashed with water droplets from the sprinkler truck…” Jiang Chen didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

"Uh..." Liao Sha realized what was happening.

This wasn't the first time she'd encountered something like this.

It might be fine at other times, but in summer, those water droplets falling on you can be quite embarrassing.

Just then, a water truck roared past.

Water droplets fell from the sky.

Even though Jiang Chen and Liao Sha were hiding behind the billboard, a lot of the water droplets still landed behind Jiang Chen (Jiang Chen and Liao Sha's positions were Jiang Chen, Liao Sha, and the billboard).

"President Jiang, are you alright?" Liao Sha also noticed this scene.

"It's alright, there aren't many water droplets." Jiang Chen smiled, took two steps back, and said, "Besides, my clothes are dark-colored, so it won't make much of a difference. If your clothes get wet, it'll just benefit someone else."

In Jiang Chen's view, it doesn't matter if others benefit.

But it's okay if it's cheap for me.

Liao Sha's face flushed slightly.

"Let's go." Jiang Chen's gaze swept over Liao Sha, wishing he could do to Liao Sha what he had done to Liu Yin. However, a water truck isn't a downpour, and Liao Sha isn't Liu Yin.

Therefore, if we want to win over Liao Sha, we must find another way.

"Ah."

Liao Sha glanced at Jiang Chen, her hand still warm from when Jiang Chen had touched her.

Soon, Jiang Chen and Liao Sha arrived at the parking lot. "Mr. Jiang, I'll be going now," Liao Sha said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded, watched Liao Sha get into the car, and then got in and drove away.

……

At noon, in the restaurant.

"President Jiang." Gu Baizhi approached Jiang Chen.

"Gu Baizhi? Please sit down," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Gu Baizhi is a character in "Moonlight Sonata".

The current headquarters of New Shield Publishing House.

The same position as Yu Yao at Yuanyue Publishing House.

"Okay." Gu Baizhi sat down opposite Jiang Chen with excitement.

Xindun Publishing House is a subsidiary of Xingchen Group. As an employee of Xindun Publishing House, she had met Jiang Chen before, but due to her position, she had never spoken to him. Therefore, she was extremely excited to see Jiang Chen now.

Because at this moment, in Gu Baizhi's eyes, seeing Jiang Chen was like an ordinary person seeing an emperor.

More importantly, she is now meeting Jiang Chen as his editor.

Even before today, she never imagined that Jiang Chen was actually the well-known author from New Shield Publishing House.

“Gu Baizhi, you’ve come to see me. I think Editor-in-Chief Xu (Xu Zhen, editor-in-chief of New Shield Press) has already told you the reason, right?” Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Gu Baizhi nodded.

“I’ve already sent you the book ‘The Road of Life’ to your email. Now let’s talk about the publication. I don’t know if you’ve read it yet?” Jiang Chen asked.

"The Road of Life" is Jiang Chen's sixth book.

Among them, "Full House of Love", "The Children of Qiao Family", and "The North Wind Blows" were published by Yuanyue Publishing House.

"The World" and "Parents' Love" were published by New Shield Press.

According to Jiang Chen's plan, "The Road of Life" should be published by New Shield Press.

This is also why Jiang Chen is seeing Gu Baizhi now.

Previously, Xu Zhen was in charge, but now Gu Baizhi is the editor-in-chief of New Shield Publishing House, and given Xu Zhen's other commitments, Jiang Chen appointed Gu Baizhi instead.

Although Gu Baizhi is not as pretty as Yu Yao, it's still better to face Gu Baizhi than Xu Zhen, an old man. After all, for an author, facing a beautiful screenwriter might inspire a flow of inspiration.

“I’ve already seen it,” Gu Baizhi said.

“Then let’s talk about publishing.” Jiang Chen looked at Gu Baizhi and said, “Gu Baizhi, I can see the nervousness in your heart, but you don’t need to be nervous. You just need to treat me as an ordinary author.”

"it is good."

However, despite this, can Gu Baizhi treat Jiang Chen as an ordinary author?

Obviously, that's impossible.

This is her big boss.

To put it bluntly, Jiang Chen could decide her life or death with just a single sentence.

However, as Gu Baizhi had a deeper conversation with Jiang Chen about the publication of "The Road of Life," she realized that Jiang Chen did not use his position as the boss to oppress or be aggressive. Instead, he was very calm and gentle.

As Jiang Chen spoke, her somewhat uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

Upon seeing Gu Baizhi calm down, a smile flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Gu Baizhi is a very important editor-in-chief in the drama. Although she is interested in commercial value, Jiang Chen, as a businessman, is not averse to it.

An hour later, Jiang Chen and Gu Baizhi ended their dinner and also completed their discussion on the publication of "The Road of Life".

"Gu Baizhi, if you have any questions in the future, just call or message me. I'll definitely reply as soon as I see it," Jiang Chen said to Gu Baizhi after they left the restaurant.

"Okay, President Jiang." Gu Baizhi nodded, feeling relieved.

Before coming here, Gu Baizhi was afraid that he would not be able to complete the mission, but now it seems that everything is easier than he imagined.

A moment later, Gu Baizhi left.

"There's still half a day left, what's next..."

Just as Jiang Chen was wondering what to do next, a woman walked over from the front.

"is her?"

Jiang Chen recognized him.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received ten ancient Tian Shan snow lotuses.]

"Ten ancient Tianshan snow lotuses?"

"I previously signed in with Ning Meng, Yuan Lai, Feng Zhiwei, Song Yudie, Yi Wenyan, Liu Yanping, Lin Shaochun, Jiang Tian, ​​Zhao Ban'er, Shangguan Yan and others and got ten Ten Thousand Year Tianshan Snow Lotuses. Now I have used seventy-five of them. In addition, with the ones I got from my family's advancement to the Celestial Clan, there are now less than a thousand Ten Thousand Year Tianshan Snow Lotuses left in the system space. Today I finally got ten more from signing in."

"However, this is the twentieth time I've signed in and received the Ten Thousand Year Tianshan Snow Lotus. I won't be signing in again after that."

"Compared to other medicinal herbs that are ten thousand years old, you don't get many of these ten thousand-year-old Tianshan snow lotuses from signing in."

"However, the family's medicinal garden can provide a continuous supply of ancient Tianshan snow lotus in the future."

Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

NicoIe, a character in "Dangerous She".

In the drama, she plays a radio program producer, a cold and independent career woman who doesn't hesitate to use herself as bait to help He Anxin get revenge, ultimately joining forces with Qiao Wei and others to complete the revenge. She initially didn't believe in love, but with Jiang Yule's caring companionship, she rekindled her hope.

"The plot of 'Dangerous She' begins in 20."

“NicoIe…”

Nicole, a radio program producer in the drama, is independent and aloof, often keeping people at arm's length. Her "self above love" value system is quite representative of contemporary independent women. At the same time, Nicole is a highly educated woman full of righteousness; she is willing to risk her life for her best friend, showing incredible girlfriend strength.

Meanwhile, Nicole, who excels in every aspect, harbors a deep resentment towards Qiao Wei. A staunch believer in being single, she maintains a distant relationship with her "male best friend," Jiang Yule, and, lacking inner security, often asks, "Is love more important than my own self?" After weathering various storms, Nicole's revenge plan succeeds, bringing justice to herself and her friend.

"Dangerous She" has a first season and a second season.

“NicoIe is only a character from the first season.”

"So, this drama alone has quite a few female leads."

Jiang Chen's gaze swept over NicoIe.

This NicoIe and Wen Ruxin from "The Amazing Girl" who signed in before were played by the same actress in their past lives.

However, compared to Wen Ruxin, NicoIe exudes a more modern, strong woman vibe.

"I don't know which TV station NicoIe is from."

“If NicoIe works in Shanghai, then the story might take place in Shanghai. But if NicoIe doesn’t work in Shanghai, then the story doesn’t take place in Shanghai.”

A series of thoughts flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

However, Jiang Chen did not go up to talk to NicoIe at this moment, but continued to walk towards the parking lot.

A moment later, Jiang Chen drove away from the parking lot.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen arrived at Abyss PR.

"Mr. Jiang." Shuo Bing greeted Jiang Chen as soon as she saw him.

"Hmm." Jiang Chen looked Shuo Bing up and down.

Shuo Bing is a character in "Even When the Wind Rises", and is also the head of Abyss Public Relations, Jiang Chen's front man.

"You seem to be doing well these days," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

“This is all thanks to Mr. Jiang,” Shuo Bing replied.

"Is your younger brother already in school?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes, I've also hired quite a few tutors for him. Although he's a few years behind the average person, I believe he'll catch up soon," Shuobing replied.

"That's good, but you don't need to rush," Jiang Chen said.

“I understand.” Shuo Bing nodded.

She is already very content that her younger brother can live like a normal person.

"How's the company doing now?" After closing the office door, Jiang Chen sat down in Shuo Bing's office chair and gestured to Shuo Bing.

Shuo Bing obediently came to Jiang Chen's side.

Before Jiang Chen could say anything, Shuo Bing sat down in his lap.

Jiang Chen chuckled and put his arm around Shuo Bing.

Jiang Chen was very pleased with Shuo Bing's pragmatism.

After all, he didn't want Shuo Bing to play any tricks.

What he wanted was someone like Shuo Bing who knew when to advance and retreat; otherwise, wouldn't all the effort he put into Shuo Bing have been wasted?
"Now the company..." Shuo Bing explained the situation of Abyss Public Relations.

Under Shuo Bing's leadership, Abyss PR has now taken another step forward.

It can be said that with Jiang Chen's financial support, Abyss PR is growing rapidly every day.

After finishing explaining the matter of Abyss PR, Shuo Bing hesitated to speak further.

"What do you want to say?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Mr. Jiang, I want revenge." After saying that, Shuo Bing looked at Jiang Chen with trepidation.
