After the divorce, I started playing games

Chapter 321 Respectfully Addressed to Mr. Lin

After being humiliated, Li Mingzhao remained calm and sat back in his seat.

Liu Dongchang took the business card and took a look at it. "Mr. Liu, what does your son's company do?"

"It's mainly luxury goods. He recently negotiated with two brands, one for Swiss watches and the other for luxury bags. He is now the general agent for East China and is preparing to enter the market in Zhonghai."

"That's great, it matches your industry quite well."

"But I can't help him much. He has to work hard on his own. Fortunately, my son has not given me any worries over the years. He raised funds on his own without my help. Among his peers, I am very satisfied that he has achieved what he has today."

"It's really good. Nowadays, there are very few young people who don't rely on their families. They are much better than my son."

Liu Dongchang looked at Li Mingzhao with a smile and said:
"It is still very promising to do luxury goods in Zhonghai. Do you have any plans and intentions in the near future? We are all experienced people and can give you some advice."

"We plan to open the store first and build the largest flagship store in East China. We expect to invest 2000 million yuan and are currently selecting a location."

“For those working in the luxury goods industry, it would be more appropriate to choose major shopping malls.” Liu Dongchang expressed his opinion.

Li Mingzhao nodded.

"My ideal goal is to open a flagship store in Berkeley. This mall has a lot of online traffic and considerable foot traffic, but the competition is a bit fierce, so it's not easy to negotiate."

"I know Berkeley. It's very popular now, but their business model is really worth learning," said Liu Dongchang.

"I went there a few days ago and the service quality is really excellent, comparable to Donglai Supermarket. I heard that many brands want to move into Berkeley, including many luxury stores. If we can negotiate a deal, it will be great."

The woman who was speaking was Wang Qingyun, the general manager of Tianyi Media.

"By the way, Mr. Jiang, haven't you moved into Berkeley? I heard that the store is quite large. You should have some connections in this area. Can you introduce them to Mingzhao?" said Chen Ling, general manager of Mita Shoes.

"If you need anything..."

"Oh, I won't bother Mr. Jiang with such a small matter."

Liu Shuli interrupted Jiang Rongmin and said, "Let the young people try it out on their own. I heard that he has almost finished the negotiations and there should be results soon."

Of course, she couldn't fall behind at a time like this. If she asked Jiang Rongmin for help, even if she owed her a favor, she would be inferior to her when they met again, which Liu Shuli could not accept.

Slowly, Lin Jiang picked up Li Mingzhao's business card.

"The remaining stores in Berkeley are reserved for top luxury brands. As far as I know, they are in the process of negotiating this matter, and I haven't heard that they are discussing this with your company."

"Maybe the information you got is a bit one-sided. I want to build the largest flagship store in East China, and I will talk directly with their CEO, so the information you got is not very accurate."

"Do you need my help? Say hello for you?" Lin Jiang said with a smile.

"Thank you for your kindness. I do have some connections in this area."

"Then I can only wish you good luck."

"Okay, there should be a limit to joking." Jiang Rongmin looked at Lin Jiang and said:
"Go back and take a look. If there is a suitable store, arrange it. Mr. Liu and I have been good friends for many years. If you encounter something like this, I will definitely help."

"Got it. I'll arrange it when I get back." Lin Jiang said with a smile.

Everyone at the table looked at Lin Jiang and Jiang Rongmin, and Liu Dongchang said:
"Boss Jiang, does your uncle know anyone from Berkeley?"

"He acquired Berkeley in full, and he single-handedly managed the company from being on the verge of bankruptcy to its current boom."

In an instant, the entire table fell silent.

The full acquisition of Berkeley is nothing, it can only be said to be a relatively large acquisition.

But turning Berkeley from the brink of bankruptcy into a phenomenal commercial real estate company would have been impossible without some ability.

"So your uncle is the CEO of Berkeley. You hid it too well, Mr. Jiang."

As he spoke, Liu Dongchang poured a glass of wine, "Boss Lin, I toast you."

"Mr. Liu, you're welcome."

Lin Jiang also poured a glass of wine. The two of them clinked their glasses lightly and drank them all in one gulp.

After finishing his drink, Liu Dongchang handed over his business card.

Wang Qingyun and Chen Ling also took out their business cards from their bags, handed them to Lin Jiang with both hands, and said a lot of polite words.

Liu Shuli and Li Mingzhao were sitting nearby, like ants on a hot pan, already a little restless.

After taking the business cards from the three people, Lin Jiang handed them to Qin Youyou, asked her to help put them away, and then looked at Liu Shuli.

"Boss Liu, you and Aunt Jiang have been friends for many years. I'll ask someone to take care of your son's store when I get back. As long as it's not too different from those top luxury brands, there won't be any problem at all."

The mother and son's expressions were not very natural, and even a little ugly. Li Mingzhao said:

"In fact, we have other options. Our first choice was Plaza 66. They also offer many preferential policies. But I want to take a closer look and choose the most suitable one. It doesn't mean that I have to go to Berkeley. After all, compared with those first-tier shopping malls, Berkeley may be a little worse."

"You are right. Then I wish you a prosperous business."

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Lin."

Jiang Rongmin sat next to him with a calm smile on her face.

Lin Jiang is a kid who never lets me down and can always get things done clearly.

Unlike my silly daughter, I really have no idea what to do with her.

After a brief confrontation, the evening's thank-you banquet officially began.

After a brief introduction by the host, Lin Jiang also got to know today's protagonist.

The two met while studying abroad. The man's family is in Beijing, so they held their wedding there first, and then held a thank-you banquet in Zhonghai. They are both considered high-level talents.

Because it was a thank-you banquet, the ceremony was over after the two people finished speaking and thanked their relatives and friends.

The next part was toasting, which was also very enjoyable for both the host and the guests.

Because the guests present were all important, the bride's parents also came along when the toast was given.

After the toast, the bride and groom left because they had to toast other tables.

But the bride's mother, Zhang Wenqian, stayed.

Everyone at this table is her friend, so she wants to stay and talk more.

"Rongmin, is this your brother-in-law?" Zhang Wen Qian asked curiously.

It can also be seen from the way she addressed her that she has a close relationship with Jiang Rongmin.

Jiang Rongmin smiled and nodded, "Today is a big happy event, I will definitely bring everyone I can to show my support for you."

"Then we both have to drink one more glass." Zhang Wen Qian was also a very straightforward person. She poured a small glass and clinked glasses with Jiang Rongmin.

"Wen Qian, haven't you always wanted to move into Berkeley? Now you have the chance. You can talk to Mr. Jiang's brother-in-law." Chen Ling said with a smile.

"Jiang Rong, does your uncle have any connections in this area?"

"The company that Berkeley works for is a wholly-owned subsidiary of theirs. If you have any ideas in this regard, I'll ask him to send someone to talk to someone in your company. We've known each other for so many years, so I'm sure I can help with this."

“It’s actually the boss of Beclair!”

Zhang Wenqian looked at Lin Jiang with surprise, "Is your company called Ignore Venture Capital Co., Ltd."

"Have you heard of us?"

"My husband is in the same business as you. He has mentioned your company to me the most recently. He said that your company has made several investments and they are all doing very well."

Zhang Wenqian looked at Lin Jiang approvingly:

"The recent popular movie 'Charlotte's Troubles' was invested by you guys, right?"

Lin Jiang smiled and nodded, "It was invested by our company."

"The movie was a big hit, and this investment will make a lot of money. Young people are really good and have a good vision."

"You're welcome."

"Young man, don't be too humble. Sometimes you have to be more high-profile." Zhang Wen Qian smiled brightly and patted Lin Jiang's shoulder like a senior.

"Come on, young man. If you work hard, your mother-in-law will be able to retire early."

Because she had to go to other tables, Zhang Wen Qian left after chatting for a few minutes.

Wang Qingyun looked at Lin Jiang and said, "Boss Lin, it turns out that your company invested in the filming of "Charlotte's Troubles". You hid it so well."

"These are all trivial matters, not worth bringing up."

"Didn't your Aunt Zhang tell you that you should be high-profile when it's time to be high-profile?" Wang Qingyun said with a smile:
"It is conservatively estimated that the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" can reach 20 billion. After deducting various taxes and commissions, the minimum profit will be million. The return rate of this investment is very high."

This number made everyone present take Lin Jiang more seriously.

Because the company they work for may not even have annual sales of 7 million.

Wang Qingyun filled the glass with wine and stood up politely.

"Boss Lin, I'd like to offer you a toast. I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

"sure."

It wasn't just Wang Qingyun. After learning that Lin Yi had invested in "Charlotte's Troubles" again, everyone else at the dinner table also became more polite.

Everyone stood up to toast and respectfully addressed him as General Lin.

His identity was successfully transformed from Jiang Rongmin's son-in-law to Mr. Lin, and some people even had to lower their glasses.

During this process, Jiang Rongmin was happy to be a transparent person and leave all the opportunities to show off to Lin Jiang.

Li Mingzhao completely disappeared into thin air and no one spoke a word to him.

After about an hour, the thank-you banquet came to an end.

People left one after another. Liu Dongchang and Wang Qingyun stood on the left and right of Lin Jiang, talking to him.

His words were full of politeness.

"Mom, look at their attitudes. They don't even consider Brother Jiang as a junior."

"This is a world of fame and fortune, and everyone is looking for profit. In your brother Jiang, they saw an opportunity, so naturally they wanted to get close to you and talk more."

"hey-hey……"

Qin Youyou smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into crescents, and her happy expression was about to overflow from the corners of her mouth.

Jiang Rongmin was so angry that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She really didn't inherit any of her and her father's good qualities.

If I was not the only one giving birth in the hospital at that time, I would have suspected that the baby was taken away by mistake.

However, Lin Jiang's performance today was indeed beyond his expectations. Even if Yang Yang came, he might not be able to achieve such an effect.

The scene of Lin Jiang being surrounded by people also caught the eyes of Liu Shuli and Li Mingzhao.

"What are you showing off for?"

"Mom, you don't have to take him seriously. He just opened a shopping mall. He was able to achieve what he has today by copying Donglai Supermarket. And the movie he made was also a stroke of luck. It all depends on luck and it won't last long." Li Mingzhao said:
"I just returned to China. Give me two years and I will be able to beat him."

"I believe this. He is so high-profile and not calm at all. Sooner or later, he will go downhill."

"I also think so."

The mother and son wanted to find some other black spots, but after looking around, it seemed that this person had no obvious shortcomings.

He is young and promising, and his appearance is several levels better than his son. He also has someone like Jiang Rongmin behind him. After much thought, he can only criticize him from this perspective.

Soon, the group reached the first floor.

Lin Jiang saw Feng Shusong not far away, and the latter also saw him.

Because there were other people around, I nodded and didn't let him come over.

Zhang Wen Qian and her husband, along with a newlywed couple, were seeing off the guests in the hall.

"Please forgive me if there is any inadequacy in the hospitality."

"That's great." Liu Shuli said, "Next month, my grandfather will celebrate his 80th birthday and he also plans to come here."

As she spoke, Liu Shuli looked at several familiar guests at the same table and said with a smile:

"Boss Liu, Boss Wang, Boss Chen... our old man is having a birthday party next month, you must come."

Liu Shuli mentioned everyone at the same table except Jiang Rongmin. Her intention was self-evident.

"Is it going to be done here?" Lin Jiang suddenly asked.

Liu Shuli looked at Lin Jiang, but she didn't expect that he would suddenly speak.

"Do you guys want to come too? Then I'll send you an invitation letter as well. It's just a matter of adding a seat. It's no big deal."

Jiang Rongmin, who was standing aside, glanced at Lin Jiang calmly.

She didn't expect him to suddenly speak at this time.

"I have a lot of things to do at the company, so I don't have time to participate in this kind of event, but I can arrange it for you, give you a discount or something, and save you some money."

As he spoke, Lin Jiang waved at Feng Shusong, who trotted over with great understanding.

"Mr. Lin."

"Mr. Liu wants to hold a birthday party here next month. Please make arrangements and reserve the place in advance. Give discounts where necessary. The national economy is in a downturn now, so don't charge so much."

Feng Shusong: ???

What does Mr. Lin mean?
Want to give a friend a discount?

But judging from his tone, it seemed like there was something else behind his words.

It's so fucking mind-boggling.

"I understand, Mr. Lin."

Everyone present looked at Lin Jiang. They all thought that he still had connections in this area.

"Boss Lin, that's not a problem. We in the Li family never like discounted items."

"Look, I was being a little over the top."

Lin Jiang smiled at Feng Shusong and said, "What you just said doesn't count. Everything just has to be normal. The Li family is a well-known and prestigious family in Zhonghai. Everything should be done according to the highest standards. We can't let the Li family lose face."

Lying on grass!

Feng Shusong screamed in his heart.

It turns out that General Lin’s grasp of human nature has reached such a precise level.

"I understand, Mr. Lin."

"Mr. Jiang..."

Liu Shuli looked at Jiang Rongmin and said with a smile:

"I never thought your uncle was such a kind-hearted person. If you didn't know him, you would think he was the owner of the Bay Hotel."

Jiang Rongmin smiled but said nothing.

"Cough cough cough..."

Feng Shusong coughed lightly a few times.

"Mr. Lin is the owner of our Bay Hotel."
