Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 482 Echo
Jiang Qingkui did not pay attention to the reactions of the people around him, nor did he care whether they were hesitating or not. After being stunned for a moment, he took a step forward.

Du Mengqi reacted and subconsciously glanced at Liu Heng and others around her, with an expression that seemed to be saying "what should we do now?"

Qian Zihao pursed his lips but walked forward.

Although he was indeed shocked by the scene before him, he still refused to believe it and wanted to go in and find out for himself.

Seeing Qian Zihao move, Du Mengqi, Liu Heng and others, who also became more curious and wanted to explore, followed suit.

Entering the spacious hall, the first thing that catches your eye is a red carpet area with a signature wall and a small stage. In the area belonging to the media staff on the side, there are already seven or eight media staff with uniform work badges in place.

CCTV, CNR, Shanghai TV, The Paper, Weibo, Tencent, Toutiao, China Business Network...

Compared to many large-scale events, there were not many media reporters present, but they were all heavyweight media.

"This……"

Du Mengqi showed an incredible look again. She turned her head and saw that on the other side of the banquet hall, there was a temporary stage occupying an entire wall, and there was a line of large, flashing fluorescent characters on the background wall.

[The Launch Ceremony of the Hope Foundation and the First Charity Dinner of the Long Night - Let Every Kindness Resonate]

Below this line of large characters, there is another line of large characters covered by the curtain, but it is not revealed at this time, so it is unknown what is written.

"Hope Fund...Have you heard of it?"

Realizing that this seemed to be a charity fund establishment ceremony, Du Mengqi looked at Qian Zihao and others around her and asked in a low voice.

"No, but there are only a few decent foundations in Shanghai... Hey, Miss Jiang just said that her company is Wangzhou Culture, so this 'Wang Fund'..."

Tian Xu, who came from Ping An Asset Management Group and had close contacts with many fund organizations, suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but take a breath.

The hearts of others were also shocked.

Foundations have never been something that ordinary people can play with... Every reputable fund in China, no matter what its nature, has capital alliances behind it.

Wangzhou Culture, where Jiang Qingkui works, actually has such power?

At this moment, Qian Zihao, who had been looking around, suddenly fixed his eyes on someone and then showed an incredible expression.

"Isn't that Mr. Tang Xiashan?"

"Tangxiashan?"

Several people followed Qian Zihao's gaze and saw that in a corner of the hall, there was a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, talking to another exquisite woman who was dressed in a gorgeous dress and had a great figure.

Just as a few people looked over, the man and woman who were talking also noticed Jiang Qingkui and his group walking in. As the woman in the formal dress whispered something, a warm smile quickly broke out on the man in the suit's face, and he quickly walked towards Jiang Qingkui.

When they heard the name "Tang Xiashan", Du Mengqi and others felt familiar, but somewhat confused. For a moment, they really couldn't remember where they had seen this name.

At this time, Qian Zihao reminded in a low voice: "Tang Xiashan... the CEO of Guojin Property, and also a member of the board of directors of Lujiazui Group."

Du Mengqi and the others finally reacted, with shock in their eyes.

It's no wonder they couldn't remember it for a while, because the property management company of the IFC usually has several vice presidents in charge of various matters. Tang Xiashan, as the president, almost never shows up at the IFC. After all, ordinary customers are not qualified for him to receive in person...

This is mainly due to his other identity, that is, the director of Lujiazui Group.

The IFC, with an investment of over 50 billion, was jointly developed by Lujiazui Group and Hong Kong Island's Sun Hung Kai Properties, with each party holding a % stake. In other words, Tang Xiashan's true identity should be regarded as the spokesperson for the developer. As for the general manager of the property center, he is just a part-time job in name only...

That's why they were surprised to see Tang Xiashan here suddenly.

But then, when they saw Tang Xiashan smiling and extending his hand towards Jiang Qingkui from a few meters away, they were not shocked but stunned.

"Ms. Jiang, nice to meet you. I'm Tang Xiashan. I'm in charge of the property management of Guojin. I'm going to have a lot of dealings with you in the future. Please take care of me!"

Tang Xiashan's hearty laughter pierced the hall, and also made Du Mengqi and others stunned.

Because anyone could easily catch the hint of respect and even flattery in Tang Xiashan's smile...

Didn’t Jiang Qingkui say that she was just a secretary?

What kind of secretary can be treated like this?
"Mr. Tang, you are too polite. You are the landlord, so you should be the one who takes care of us."

At first, Jiang Qingkui didn't know that the man in front of him had a higher status. He just followed the established etiquette and greeted him.

But Lin Ran on the side quickly smiled and introduced Tang Xiashan's identity. When Jiang Qingkui learned that the other party was actually a shareholder of the developer, surprise appeared in his eyes, and he also felt the same confusion as Du Mengqi and others on the side.

That's Tang Xiashan... Why is he so polite to me?
If this floor was only rented by Zhou Wang, there would be no need for Tang Xiashan to come forward in person, right?

At this time, after the greetings, Tang Xiashan smiled and said to Jiang Qingkui: "Ms. Jiang, the other procedures have been completed, but there is still a power of attorney for the property. Miss Lin said that you need to sign it. If it is convenient for you now, I will ask my secretary to send the document over..."

"power of attorney?"

Jiang Qingkui was a little confused when he heard this.

"It's a general agreement as the owner, because Miss Lin said that only you can represent Mr. Zhou, so..."

"owner?"

Jiang Qingkui was stunned for a moment.

"Hey, Miss Jiang, don't you know that the 55th and 56th floors of the IFC Phase II are now owned by Mr. Zhou, so I just asked you to take care of them. After all, I am standing on your territory now, haha..."

Jiang Qingkui was shocked when he heard Tang Xiashan's joke.

Zhou Wang...just bought these two floors?

Not only the 56th floor where they were, but also the 55th floor below...

When Jiang Qingkui was breathing rapidly, Qian Zihao and others beside him were stunned.

From the moment they entered the hall, the shock was like waves, one higher than the other... and now it was like a giant tsunami, directly destroying the last bit of their tense face.

It was not rented, but purchased directly!

"How much does this cost?"

Liu Heng, who had no idea what was going on, subconsciously looked at Qian Zihao and asked in a low voice.

As the top asset in the core area of ​​Lujiazui, most floors of the IFC are only available for rent and not for sale. In other words, ordinary people have no access to purchasing channels. Therefore, there is no standard statement on how much a square meter of the IFC costs. Qian Zihao, as a second-generation from a wealthy family, became an owner through internal channels, so only he may have the answer to this question.

Qian Zihao analyzed unconsciously: "The floor I bought was sold at a unit price of 11 per square meter, but this is the top floor, so it should be sold at least 13 per square meter. The area of ​​the two standard floors is 2500 square meters each, so 5000 square meters multiplied by 13 is..."

"6.5 million!"

Du Mengqi, who was very quick at mental arithmetic, figured out the number in an instant.

Upon hearing this number, everyone fell silent.

Even for Qian Zihao, the most powerful among the group, this was an astronomical figure... When he bought the house himself, he teamed up with two other people to buy half a floor, and the area he subscribed to was only 200 square meters.

Now, the bank loan of 10 million has not been repaid yet...

"Registered capital is one million... one million..."

Qian Zihao thought of the business information he had just checked and was too tired to complain. It seemed that he had to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger even for the registration information, right?

On the other hand, Jiang Qingkui quickly digested the information and calmed down quickly.

After all, this was not the first time she had seen Zhou Wang's exaggerated financial resources. He bought a private jet worth 800 million yuan without blinking an eye, and it was paid in full, not to mention a few small office buildings...

Even so, this is the IFC in Shanghai, the top of the office building.

The only thing that made Jiang Qingkui feel that Zhou Wang’s move was a bit inappropriate was that if it was just to serve as a base for the Wang Fund, wouldn’t it be a bit of a waste to buy such a two-story office building?
After all, the daily operation of the fund does not require such a large space. The size of this office building is enough to accommodate the administrative offices of four or five large companies at the same time...

When a flash of doubt flashed across Jiang Qingkui's eyes, Lin Ran beside him also had a complicated look in his eyes.

In order to keep it secret, she had been busy all the time, handling other things, so only Lin Ran knew the most...

What will Jiang Qingkui get tonight.

This was a surprise Zhou Wang gave her.

Are you jealous? Are you envious?
of course……

Lin Ran even wished she could take his place. She couldn't even imagine how excited she would be if it was herself standing there at that moment.

Soon, Lin Ran sighed softly again, and the jealousy in his eyes disappeared.

She and Jiang Qingkui had been a little off since they met in Beidu, but when Zhou Wang showed this attitude, Lin Ran knew that she could no longer continue to ignore Jiang Qingkui as before.

She might never catch up with Jiang Qingkui's special position in Zhou Wang's heart, but at least, she couldn't let Zhou Wang have any bad impression of her because of this kind of thing...

Lin Ran, who had figured it out, walked forward with a smile and affectionately took Jiang Qingkui's hand.

"Sister Qingkui, although the arrangements for the banquet are almost ready, there are still a few details that I'm not sure about. How about you come and give me some advice?"

Jiang Qingkui was startled by Lin Ran's sudden intimate gesture. When he turned around, he was met with Lin Ran's sincere eyes.

Lin Ran is already over 30 years old, several years older than Jiang Qingkui, and addressing her as "Sister Qingkui" is undoubtedly a disguised recognition of Jiang Qingkui's status.

Although he didn't know why Lin Ran suddenly figured it out, the other party had already put himself in such a humble position. Jiang Qingkui was not a stingy person, so he immediately smiled with relief.

"Okay, Sister Ran, take me to have a look..."

……

Light as a feather yet warm as a hug, every inch exudes natural luster.

This is not a woman's skin, but the touch of a Brioni Bespoke top-grade custom-made handmade suit.

Vicua (vicuna wool) produced in the Andes Mountains is filled under the dark blue suit fabric. The royal houndstooth pattern faintly visible on the fabric is hand-woven on an ancient loom, exuding a low-key sense of authority between the flow of light and shadow.

Zhou Wang stretched out his hand, and Yun Rou behind him stepped forward gently to help him smooth out every tiny wrinkle on the surface of his suit.

The full linen lining fits naturally with the fabric and rises and falls with the body as you breathe, as if it is still as crisp as new even ten years later.

When he put it on, Zhou Wang was no longer wearing a suit, but a mobile sculpture that an Italian tailor spent 200 hours weaving.

“Power and elegance come together here.”

With Zhou Wang's appearance, wearing this high-end suit worth a million, it would be truly "perfect" and "a perfect match". He looked as handsome as a royal noble, which made Yun Rou breathe faster and her legs slightly clamped together.

Zhou Wang was already immune to his own beauty. He looked down at Sister Xiaoyu, who was still squatting on the ground and carefully wiping the dust off the surface of his leather shoes, and said softly:

"Sister Xiaoyu, it's OK."

After Zhao Yu stepped aside as instructed, Zhou Wang took a last look at himself in the mirror, then put on the Patek Philippe starry sky watch, stuffed a pocket handkerchief into his shirt pocket to symbolize formality, and then left the master bedroom.

In the living room, the butler Han Rui and the bodyguard Xiao Wang were already on standby. After Zhou Wang came downstairs, they surrounded him and walked out.

When we went down to the parking lot, a flagship model Phantom, which was different from ordinary Rolls-Royces in every way, was already waiting there quietly.

The car body is black, but the color is much darker than normal black, a blackness that is almost as dark as night.

(Darth Warrior Phantom-it’s hard to find pictures of this kind of customized car, so just make do with what you have)
This is the custom car that Zhou Wang deliberately waited for two weeks for - a Rolls-Royce "Black Badge" Phantom of the Dark Night series.

In fact, Rolls-Royce also has more advanced customization, that is, the real Bespoke full-free design, but because it is completely from scratch, it requires customers and the Rolls-Royce designer team to work together, which usually takes several years...

Zhou Wang really couldn't wait that long, so he finally gave in and chose the customization of the Collection high-end series, which is simply a "fine-tuning" under the limited edition theme.

For example, the "Darth Warrior Phantom" in front of us has actually made some detailed changes in the body paint, alloy wheels and interior accessories. It adopts an all-black design and carbon fiber wheels, and then upgrades the power, which ultimately distinguishes it from the ordinary Phantom.

The dark metallic paint contains tiny diamond particles, which show its nobility under certain lighting conditions. The paint alone makes it four million more expensive than the ordinary Phantom. With the embroidered starry sky roof and other modifications, the final landing price of this Phantom reached a staggering 2900 million...

It is more than twice as expensive as the ordinary top-of-the-line Phantom.

In fact, when luxury cars reach a certain level, the difference in comfort level will not be particularly large. Unless necessary, Zhou Wang would not deliberately pursue expensive models.

However, this top-of-the-line Phantom is necessary, as it exists to cope with important occasions like today.

"lets go."

Following Zhou Wang's faint instructions from the back seat, Gao Xing nodded silently and started the car.
