A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Chapter 89: Collapse (asking for monthly ticket~asking for subscription~)

end of the month.

Huaxin Construction officially entered the construction site on Yuyuan Road. Changjiang Real Estate held a "groundbreaking ceremony" and invited the owners to attend.

Chen Guangliang also specially invited Zhou Shoujuan, a cultural celebrity and owner, and Zhu Guangsheng, a business representative and friend of the owner, to jointly carry out the groundbreaking ceremony.

For a moment, hundreds of owners who came to participate felt reassured.

Changjiang Real Estate provided a very thoughtful hospitality, providing snacks and tea on site and preparing rickshaws to take everyone home.

Of course, some of the owners’ questions were also answered well.

Zhou Shoujuan asked formally, "Boss Chen, Boss Wang, the construction period for Happy Home is less than a year. Can you guarantee the quality of the house?"

Many owners gathered around and were very concerned about this topic.

In reality, the typical construction period for six to ten-story office buildings and apartments is only two years. However, the construction costs for such buildings are often prohibitively high, often costing hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, or even millions.

The main reason is that the building materials for such high-rise buildings are basically imported from overseas.

However, the building materials of Happy Home do not require any imported materials. After all, the main structure is brick and wood, the bricks are red bricks, and the wood is solid wood.

Wang Zhenghua, the construction contractor, said confidently, "Although we built it according to the standard of a 30-year building lifespan, in fact, a building like this will still be in existence a hundred years from now. As for the windows, we use steel windows, which are sturdy and durable. The sanitary fixtures and hot and cold water pipes are also made of steel."

Chen Guangliang added, "To ensure the construction is completed on time and of high quality, I, Mr. Wang, and even a third party will be overseeing the project, so rest assured. I also have good news for you: after Happy Home is operational, I plan to establish a property management company under Changjiang Real Estate to provide four security guards and two cleaners. That's how it will work."

Everyone applauded immediately!

As for the property management company, they immediately learned very useful information - security guards can patrol to make the happy home safer; cleaners can clean the surrounding environment to make the area cleaner.

Of course, what these people don’t know is that the property management company is only temporarily free, and will charge property management fees later.

Once the rent in Shanghai rises sharply, it is natural to collect some property fees.

After the groundbreaking ceremony, everyone took rickshaws home under the arrangement of Changjiang Real Estate.

"Are you Mr. Zhou?" Gu Zhuxuan's old butler found Zhou Xinggao and asked.

Zhou Xinggao had never entered Gu Zhuxuan's house because Chen Guangliang always went in alone, so he didn't need to worry about Gu Zhuxuan doing anything bad to him.

"Yes, are you?"

"Our Mr. Gu hopes to see you this evening. Please come to this address, Hubei Road."

After saying that, the old butler handed Zhou Xinggao a formal invitation.

"Oh"

Zhou Xinggao's heart skipped a beat and he agreed.

Seeing Zhou Xinggao's appearance, the old butler nodded happily and then left.

In fact, Zhou Xinggao did not have any other intentions, but he had always admired the strong men in Shanghaitan, and he really admired several big gangsters.

So when he received Gu Zhuxuan's invitation, he instinctively thought that he was still quite popular!

Will you go?

Go ahead and see what’s going on. If nothing goes right, you can just come back and report to your boss.

With this thought in mind, Zhou Xinggao found a reason to leave in the evening and headed towards No. 203 Yingchunfang, Lane 13, Hubei Road.

Under the guidance of the servants, Zhou Xinggao was like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden. He was very envious of the Gu villa, which was both spacious and luxurious.

Sometimes he couldn't understand why his boss, who was already so rich, didn't think about improving his living environment?

"Mr. Gu"

"Xing Gao, come and sit down!"

"it is good"

Gu Zhuxuan looked at Zhou Xinggao. He now knew that Zhou Xinggao was the most capable man under Chen Guangliang. He even heard from others that Zhou Xinggao was good at shooting and kung fu, and was an extraordinary talent.

Big gangsters like them naturally like people like this the most, but people like He Xiangdong are not in their eyes.

After a brief greeting, Gu Zhuxuan asked, "Xinggao, how much does Guangliang pay you for working for him?"

Zhou Xinggao kept Chen Guangliang's words in mind and did not talk about dividends. After all, the money came from an unknown source, so the less trouble he could have, the better.

So he said: "One hundred dollars"

Hearing this, Gu Zhuxuan was not surprised at all. Instead, he became more convinced that Zhou Xinggao was a capable person. Otherwise, Chen Guangliang, with his "Grandet" personality, would not be so generous.

So, he said, "Not bad, but I heard you're very good at martial arts, marksmanship, and you're brave and resourceful. This salary is obviously not enough. Are you interested in becoming my disciple? I guarantee you'll earn more money and get women too."

Zhou Xinggao was still very happy. After all, his ability was recognized. Of course, he still said politely: "Mr. Gu is too polite. I don't want to leave Changjiang Car Dealership for the time being. The boss has been very kind to me!"

Gu Zhuxuan was not unhappy when he heard this. He said, "You are kind and righteous. Very good. Then come and have dinner with me!"

"Ok"

The more Zhou Xinggao acted like this, the more Gu Zhuxuan wanted to win him over, so during the meal, he called his cousin Gu Aizhen to join him, and the meaning was self-evident.

However, if Chen Guangliang knew about this, he would definitely scold Gu Zhuxuan for being shameless and giving away his cousins ​​one by one in order to win over his subordinates.

The nature of this kind of 'speculation' is simply despicable!

Gu Zhuxuan was "betting on both sides" in his later life, and we will not comment on that, but he was really a mean person for treating his own cousin so badly.

The next day, Zhou Xinggao came to Chen Guangliang's office.

"Boss, Gu Zhuxuan invited me to dinner at his villa last night and tried to win me over!"

After thinking about it all night, Zhou Xinggao decided to share the profit with his boss.

It's not that he is tempted to change jobs. After all, it's not worth the effort. He now owns 33.33% of the shares of the 10-rickshaw project, and 500% of the shares of rickshaws. The monthly dividend is close to yuan. He thinks Gu Zhuxuan can't give him better treatment; not to mention, the boss has saved his life twice.

The real reason why he couldn't sleep last night was that he was worried that his boss would misunderstand him, so he decided to just mind his own business and pretend that nothing had happened.

After hearing this, Chen Guangliang secretly cursed Gu Zhuxuan for being unethical and daring to touch even the people around him.

"What did he tell you? Can you tell me in detail?"

"He just wanted me to go to Gu's car dealership to work, but he even asked his cousin to come out and drink with me!" Chen Guangliang cursed with a smile: "How disgusting! He even wanted to introduce his cousin to me before. How filthy!"

But I also feel sorry for Gu Aizhen, as she has such a cousin who treats her like a pawn and keeps sending her around.

Zhou Xinggao also cursed: "He is really a piece of shit. I thought he was a big shot, but he actually did something like this."

Subsequently.

Chen Guangliang said, "It seems that Gu Zhuxuan wants to plant a spy next to me. If you agree, he probably won't let you go to work right away. Pay attention to the security team recently and see if there are any abnormalities. But don't alert them. Just pretend that this didn't happen."

Zhou Xinggao nodded and said, "It's good that everyone is no longer so opposed to your military training recently, and they are more loyal to the company."

Chen Guangliang smiled and said, "What's the point of talking about loyalty? We only talk about professional ethics. Everyone works hard for me, and I provide everyone with a better and better life. It's that simple."

"Not every boss has your kind of generosity. You're the only one who treats everyone as human beings!"

"Okay, stop flattering me and get back to work. Oh, and save some money. Changjiang Real Estate will develop new real estate projects later, so you can try to get a house for your wedding."

Zhou Xinggao is already 26 years old and still unmarried, so it is obvious that he has to take care of this matter as well.

"thank you boss"

"go"

Zhou Xinggao left happily, having suddenly realized something: working with his boss brought a sense of security. He remembered something his boss had said: "You can be successful for a while, but you can't be successful forever."

He thinks it would be great if he could settle down, get married and have children.

After Zhou Xinggao left, Chen Guangliang also thought about his subordinates' affairs. It seemed necessary to hold a 'blind date party' for these people and find a wife for them.

Those who have families with them are more likely to be loyal, while those who have no ties are more difficult to stabilize.

Fugui Rickshaw Company is a small company with eighty rickshaws, most of which are used by the Chinese community for taking photos. Its owner is called Wang Meisheng.

But recently Wang Meisheng got into big trouble. Patrol police often detained the rickshaws from their company on the grounds of violating traffic regulations. Originally, the rickshaw drivers should have been responsible for this matter, but as more and more things happened, some drivers realized that the company had offended Gu Zhuxuan and was therefore being punished.

As a result, not only would the rickshaw drivers no longer dare to rent a car from Fugui Car Rental, but even if they were caught, the rickshaw drivers would not pay any compensation, and in the end, the Fugui Car Rental would have to pick up the car.

Wang Meisheng was so scared that he immediately sought help from the "Car Dealer Alliance". After all, he knew the reason for this.

When the "Car Dealer Alliance" held a meeting, Wang Meisheng immediately discovered that "leaders" such as Han Yanbao and Wu Guangpeng were no longer there, and only Feng Jingtao of Feng's Car Dealership was still there.

Moreover, there are fewer small and medium-sized car dealerships.

"Boss Feng, why didn't Boss Han and Boss Wu come?"

Feng Jingtao suddenly felt a headache. He naturally knew the reason, but he really couldn't understand why the car dealership alliance that had originally dominated was broken up in an instant.

"They said something was wrong!"

Wang Meisheng was even more desolate, saying, "They said something was wrong, but they were afraid. That's what we all said at the beginning, but now that something has happened, everything has collapsed."

Another car dealership owner said, "Yes, my car dealership has also been targeted by patrol police, especially in Zhabei. Whenever I go there, I get into trouble."

Another car dealer said, "There are hooligans. Gu Zhuxuan mobilized his gang to cause trouble everywhere, making my drivers afraid to work."

"Yeah, what now?"

Feng Jingtao said anxiously, "These hooligans are causing trouble. Have you called the police?"

"What's the point of calling the police? They won't even come."

Feng Jingtao was a little annoyed at this time. If Han Yanbao and Wu Guangpeng were still there, they would be able to take action against Gu's Car Dealership and use gangster methods; by then, if they were too many in number, Gu's Car Dealership would not be able to deal with them.

Now the person who is best at this has withdrawn from the alliance, which has greatly reduced everyone's strength.

"Let's go talk to Gu Zhuxuan again. I don't believe he dares to really compete with our dozen or so car dealerships. He will suffer huge losses if he does!"

"Okay, let's go talk to him."

Everyone can only rely on Feng Jingtao now, but there is not much confidence.

As a result, when these people went to talk to Gu Zhuxuan, they found that he ignored them and only sent Sun Yingjie to practice Tai Chi.

Sun Yingjie had Gu Zhuxuan's instructions, so he naturally knew how to deal with it.

He began by saying, "Everyone, you're here to discuss the lottery, right? But why are you here when no one's here yet? Where's Boss Han? Where's Boss Wu?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other car dealerships immediately lost interest. They had already understood at this point that the alliance had collapsed.

Feng Jingtao quickly said, "Manager Sun, we have more than a dozen car dealerships here, with a total of a thousand cars. We're here this time because we hope Mr. Gu will stop his reckless behavior, bribing the patrol officers and ordering a search for the hooligans. If this continues, we won't be able to resist!"

Although he disdains to use gangster tactics, it doesn't mean he won't do it if pushed to the limit.

Moreover, Feng Jingtao has been running a car dealership for many years and has some connections. How could he allow himself to be manipulated by others?

Sun Yingjie's eyes were sharp, and he said, "Boss Feng, are you threatening our Mr. Gu?"

Feng Jingtao said fearlessly, "This isn't a threat. I'm just being forced to launch a counterattack!"

Sun Yingjie sneered, "Alright, alright, I've heard that Boss Feng is upright and honest, and today I've finally gotten to experience that. So, there's nothing more for us to discuss. Let's just wait and see."

The bosses of other car dealerships were dumbfounded. They came here to negotiate, so how could the talks fall apart in just a few words?

Afterwards, many car dealership owners complained.

"Boss Feng, you're too stubborn! You ruined the negotiations!"

"That's right. Now it's all right. Gu Zhuxuan doesn't dare to mess with your big car dealership, so he only targets our small car dealership."

Feng Jingtao was stunned. He didn't expect that he would become the target of everyone's criticism.

"Everyone, tell your drivers to obey traffic rules for the time being. If there's any unwarranted trouble again, I'll definitely find someone to deal with it for you. As for hooliganism, if you have evidence, please let me know. I have a solution."

At this point, he had no choice but to take on these tasks himself.

In fact, even if Feng Jingtao has some connections, they are not enough to shake Gu Zhuxuan. At this moment, he relies entirely on his "righteous passion" and intends to fight Gu's car dealership to the end.

"Hey"

All the car dealership owners sighed. It was obvious that Feng Jingtao's guarantee was not very reassuring.
