Chapter 658 Testing Wen Wan
The cocktail party called "The Code of Wealth" ended a little after nine o'clock.

Taking stock of tonight's gains, the bosses on Zhedong Road bought up a share of 5000 million yuan, customers in the Magic City area purchased a total of 3300 million yuan of fund products, and several bosses from Yang City claimed 1000 million yuan, for a total sales of 9300 million yuan.

The 1 million yuan quota was never fully used.

Although there may be further inquiries from customers in Shanghai, the possibility is not very high.

This result made Luo Yang feel extremely depressed.

Just stick to the previously set scale of 5000 million euros, hold a cocktail party easily, fill it up easily, and make some connections throughout the event.

It took a lot of effort to expand the scale to 1 million, but the result was that it could not go up or down.

You should know that he brought his father-in-law to Shanghai.

Anyway, he felt a little embarrassed.

Not to mention that he originally thought that the amount of 1 million yuan was too large and difficult to operate.

The 854 million euros in principal raised earlier will definitely exceed 7 million euros by the time this money is taken out from the U.S. crude oil futures market in early July, and may even reach 2 million euros.

Adding both sides together, and adding capital and leverage, the overall movement will easily attract attention.

Don't think that those people on Wall Street are good people. When they act like hooligans, their bottom line is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

If you make money in the futures market but cannot get it back, that would be a real shame.

After seeing off the last wave of guests, it was already past half past nine.

"Dad, I've already booked a room at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. Let's stay one night before going back."

"My friends and I are going to have some midnight snacks. Give me the room card and you can just make arrangements for Fanfan."

Jiang Yuanshan complained: "You came here without having dinner. Who knew you were hosting a buffet party..."

Luo Yang was ashamed.

Originally, there would be a reminder on the invitation for this type of cocktail party, but this time it was organized in a hurry and the invitations were all made by phone.

Those who often attend such cocktail parties are fine, as they know to prepare a meal in advance. However, several bosses from Yang City actually didn’t come for dinner…

"Fanfan, can I take you out for some midnight snack too?"

Luo Yang remembered that Jiang Fan also came here with Lao Jiang, and she probably hadn't had dinner either.

"Hehe, I ate two small pieces of cake at the party. I'm not hungry at all."

Jiang Fan responded to Luo Yang with a smile.

"You're quite smart."

Luo Yang raised his hand and rubbed Jiang Fan's hair: "Then let's go back and rest."

After saying goodbye to Jiang Yuanshan, he took Jiang Fan back to the long private room at the Sheraton Hotel in Minhang.

"You stayed in a hotel when you were in the Magic City?"

Jiang Fan was very confused when he saw a lot of Luo Yang's clothes hanging in the suite.

"I lived in the dormitory before, and occasionally lived in the house in Songjiang... Later, as you knew, the dormitory was no longer suitable for living, so you gave the house you bought in Songjiang to my parents, and I became homeless..."

Luo Yang showed an aggrieved expression.

"You didn't buy a house in Shanghai?"

Jiang Fan showed an incredible expression: "You don't need this little money, do you?"

“It’s easy to find an ordinary house, but it depends on luck to find a good quality one.”

Luo Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Luckily I found a house that's not bad some time ago. It's almost been renovated now. After the smell gets rid of, we can move in in September or October."

“Still pleasing to the eye?”

Jiang Fan asked with a smile: "What kind of house would satisfy you?"

"I need money everywhere now, and I don't have enough for the time being."

Luo Yang thought for a moment and said, "Maybe next year. I'll see if I have a chance to buy the house I want then."

"Are you short of money again?"

Jiang Fan was surprised and asked, "You can't even afford a house, right?"

“It depends on where the house is.”

Luo Yang smiled slightly and said, "For example, if you want to buy the Tan Palace Villa now, money is a bit tight."

"Tan Palace Villa?"

Jiang Fan looked at Luo Yang in confusion: "Is it expensive?"

"The cheapest one is about 70 to 80 million."

Jiang Fan: “…”

"Hahaha……"

Luo Yang laughed and pinched Jiang Fan's cheek: "Don't think it's too expensive. I guess there are no houses available now. If you want to buy it, you have to see if anyone is willing to buy it."

Okay, Jiang Fan said he had learned something.

"Husband, you want to make money in the financial market because you don't have enough money, right?"

Thinking of the fund product recommendation reception tonight, this idea suddenly came to Jiang Fan's mind.

"yes……"

Luo Yang smacked his lips and said, "I'm short of money..."

The magnitude of the lack of money he mentioned and the amount of money Jiang Fan understood were completely different concepts.

But Jiang Fan was a little skeptical. She asked in surprise, "Didn't you say that both of your milk teas are quite profitable?"

"It is quite profitable. The gross profit in the first quarter was about 800 to 900 million yuan, and it should be more than 1 billion yuan in the second quarter."

Luo Yang also hid it from Jiang Fan and told the truth: "But I have many places to spend money. The acquired e-commerce platform needs subsidies, the newly established C station needs money, the food industry needs money, and the headquarters building I plan to acquire in the second half of the year also needs money..."

Jiang Fan didn't know how to respond at this time.

In two quarters, the gross profit is nearly 20 billion yuan. Although half of it belongs to partners, there is still over 10 billion yuan, right?

But think about the last expense my husband mentioned: acquiring the headquarters building!

This is not just about building a twenty-story building in Yangshi Development Zone.

The headquarters building that Luo Yang wants to buy is in the urban area of ​​Shanghai.

For the same quantity, the price is at least five times higher.

"Hubby, will we be able to collect enough money next year?"

Jiang Fan suddenly thought of something else: "Aren't you and Dad going to cooperate on a new energy vehicle manufacturing project? After buying the headquarters building, will you still be able to take out the money?"

She asked politely.

“The money came from another source.”

Luo Yang said confidently: "Dad knows it too, so don't worry."

"All right!"

Luo Yang did not elaborate, and Jiang Fan did not ask any further questions.

She hugged her husband's waist, leaned into his arms, pressed her cheek against his chest, and listened to his heartbeat.

"husband……"

"Ok?"

"You are under increasing pressure."

Jiang Fan murmured, "Business operations involving hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars are easy. Husband, our family has enough money. There's no need for you to make yourself so tired..."

"I am a little tired."

Luo Yang stroked Jiang Fan's hair and said, "But I'm only 22 years old this year. Am I going to live a retired life at such a young age?" Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, then chewed over Luo Yang's words and finally remained silent.

"In the past, if an industry became large, it could last for decades even if it did not try to innovate. However, as technology has become more and more abnormal, the cycle of the rise and fall of a new industry has become shorter and shorter."

Luo Yang sighed: "It's like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. You won't even be given a chance to retreat. You will be directly submerged in the waves of the times."

Jiang Fan seemed to understand what he said, but not quite.

This cannot be blamed on her, after all, vision and knowledge are limited.

Apart from reborn people like Luo Yang, there are only a very few geniuses who can vaguely see through the fog of the future and grasp the direction of progress.

"Well, I don't want to make myself so tired."

Luo Yang smiled and comforted Jiang Fan, "I will try to finish my work before I turn 30, then I will step back and hand over the group to professional managers. I will make strategic plans and judgments... I can spend the extra time with you and the children."

“Retire at 30?”

After hearing Luo Yang say this for the first time, Jiang Fan was filled with emotions.

She hoped that Luo Yang would spend more time with her after he turned 30, but she was also afraid that her hope would be shattered by Luo Yang himself in the end...

"It's stepping back, not retiring!"

Luo Yang lowered his head and touched Jiang Fan's forehead: "The company's daily affairs are handed over to the CEO. I am only responsible for the company's strategic layout and planning, and will no longer manage specific affairs."

If this can be achieved, taking half of the week off will not affect the normal operation of the company.

This statement is much more credible.

Jiang Fan showed a happy smile on his face.

"Honey, I'm not going back with Dad's car tomorrow."

The warm atmosphere did not last long, and Jiang Fan broke it: "You stay busy with your work, and arrange for someone to accompany me to see the house under renovation, and take me to Songjiang at noon, just in time for me to have lunch with my mother."

Since I'm in Shanghai, I have to go see Gu Honglan.

"Well, you can go shopping with my mom in the afternoon, and I'll arrange for a driver to take you back to Yang City later."

Luo Yang nodded and said, "I'm going to fly to Yangcheng tomorrow. The e-commerce platform company I acquired some time ago has its headquarters there. I have to go there once every two weeks."

"what?"

After being surprised, Jiang Fan showed a disappointed expression: "I was thinking of waiting in Shanghai until Friday, and then going back with you."

Good guy, she still wants to stay in Shanghai until Friday
Maybe you have already planned to visit the company on Thursday morning, and then find that the board of directors' office is full of beauties with scores above 90.

Luckily I have to go on a business trip this week.

Come to think of it, why didn't I object when Wen Wan Shuai selected these secretaries as directors?
I remember earlier that the assistant chose Yu Haiping.
"Next time, when the house in Magic City is renovated and ready for move-in, you can come over and help warm up the house. It will be convenient for you to stay a few more days then."

"Well, remember to notify me when the time comes."

Since Luo Yangming was going to fly to Yangcheng tomorrow, there was no point for her to stay, so she agreed obediently.

"It's getting late. I'm going to take a shower first. Do you want to join me?"

After rushing back to Minhang from the Bund, and chatting in the room for more than half an hour, it was already past eleven o'clock.

"Hehe, I don't want to!"

Before Jiang Fan could finish his words, he had already quickly escaped from Luo Yang's arms.

Ha ha.

Do you really think I don’t know?
It's the end of the month, and according to the schedule, Jiang Fan's relatives should be here soon. Inviting her to take a bath together was just for fun.

That night, the two slept in each other's arms.

The next day, when Luo Yang was having breakfast with Jiang Fan in the hotel, he contacted Wen Wan and asked her to arrange for Jiang Fan to go to Hongqiao Villa to check the progress of the decoration.

He didn't say anything extra, as he believed Wen Wan could arrange the matter properly.

Because they had to catch a flight at 10:30 in the morning, Luo Yang took a car to the airport after breakfast, leaving Jiang Fan waiting in the hotel lobby for someone to pick her up.

Luo Yang never expected that Wen Wan would come personally to receive Jiang Fan.

The first time Jiang Fan saw Wen Wan, his eyes narrowed.

"Ms. Jiang, I am Wen Wan, the director of the Lingshi Palace Group's board of directors' office."

After finding Jiang Fan in the hotel lobby, Wen Wan introduced herself generously: "The boss just called and arranged for me to accompany you to see the progress of the house renovation."

Although Wen Wan spoke frankly, Jiang Fan still murmured in his heart.

The director of the board's office who calls her fiancé boss is not inferior to herself in terms of appearance, figure, or temperament.

As the director of the board office, Wen Wan does not have the kind of naivety that Sun Jingyu has.

At the annual meeting at the end of last year, when Jiang Fan saw Sun Jingyu for the first time, he knew that he could control her.

But when he first saw Wen Wan, even though she was very humble, Jiang Fan had a bad impression of her.
"Hello, I'm Luo Yang's fiancée Jiang Fan."

Jiang Fan still had to say some polite words. He reached out his hand to respond to Wen Wan and praised her, "I didn't expect Director Wen to be so young!"

"Miss Jiang praised you."

Wen Wan responded with a smile: "You and the boss are young."

Jiang Fan didn't respond, but smiled and said, "Next, I'll have to trouble Director Wen to take me to visit the new house that Luo Yang bought."

When he faced Sun Jingyu at the beginning, there were flashes of swords and sabers.

This time, I met Wenwan, and she was gentle and kind.

On the way to Hongqiao Villa, Jiang Fan asked about the company's matters from time to time, and Wen Wan told him everything she knew.

Of course, if there are some things you are not sure about and don’t know whether you should say them or not, you can’t give a clear answer.

In fact, Jiang Fan's questions were all purposeful.

Most of the questions she asked, she actually knew the answers to.

Some of it was told to her in person by Luo Yang, and some of it was heard by her when Luo Yang was chatting with Jiang Yuanshan.
In comparison, Jiang Fan found that Wen Wan was actually very sincere.

Any clear response is correct.

Everything is right, but it just feels awkward.

For a moment, Jiang Fan felt like he didn't know where to start.

This awkward feeling did not disappear until the two of them arrived at Hongqiao Villa and chatted about topics such as the location of the villa, the price of the villa, and the decoration style of the villa.

"Director Wen, I see that you have a deep understanding of the company. It seems that you have been in the company for quite some time?"

"Ms. Jiang, Mr. Luo started his business from scratch only three years ago, and the group was established even earlier. I have actually been in the company for less than half a year."

Wen Wan heard the tentative meaning in Jiang Fan's words, so she responded smoothly: "Except for the few veterans who started the business with the boss during college, most of the middle and senior managers in the company have been in the company for no more than a year and a half, or even shorter."

"Yes, Luo Yang did start his career in a very short time."

While admiring the layout of the master bedroom, Jiang Fan asked casually, "I always hear him say that there are many vacancies in the group. Is your board of directors' office short of people?"

"The company went through a round of structural adjustments some time ago, and some administrative functions were assigned to the Directors' Office."

Wen Wan responded: "The board office now has an administrative secretary, a confidential secretary, a press release and external liaison officer, and a deputy director for daily management affairs. Although I am the director of the board office, I also serve as the director of the board secretarial committee, so my work focus is on the board of directors."

He took himself off in an instant.

"Oh, by the way, the boss also has a work assistant."

Wen Wan added: "You should have seen Assistant Yu accompanying the boss to greet guests at the door last night."

Jiang Fan suddenly recalled Yu Haiping's appearance.

"It's him"

When Jiang Fan heard that Luo Yang's work assistant was a man, he felt a lot more at ease.

At the same time, his vigilance towards Wen Wan was also reduced a lot.
