Get rich quick starting with buying a house with zero down payment

"Master, let's not go to Yuehai anymore, let's go to Xiangmihu Auto City instead." Lei Guoliang's voice cut off Ji Fanyin's thoughts about choosing a shop location.

"Weren't we going to look at the shops?" Ji Fanyin asked in surprise, subconsciously glancing at the passing street scene outside the window.

"Let's buy a car first," Lei Guoliang said.

"It will be very inconvenient and inefficient to do things like checking market data, running business, and taking clients without a car."

He paused, turned his head, and his gaze lingered for half a second on her slightly parted lips in surprise before looking away: "You should register as soon as possible and get your driver's license. The shop will need a car a lot in the future, and you'll need to be able to drive yourself."

Once you get your driver's license and your business is on track, I'll get you a car too.

Ji Fanyin was completely dumbfounded. Buy a car? Provide her with a car too? This leap made her dizzy. She was still processing the shock of managing a store, and now she was about to become a prospective car owner?

"But... Brother Lei, aren't we just opening a small shop to test the waters? Do we really need to buy a car so quickly, and... you're even planning to provide me with a car?"

Her voice tightened, feeling that the scale of this gesture was unreal and even made her somewhat uneasy.

Where exactly does he want to place her? As an important subordinate who needs a car?

"A small shop?" Lei Guoliang repeated the word, a faint, almost mocking smile curving his lips, his gaze sharply fixed on the rapidly receding city skyline outside the car window: "Who told you we only run one small shop?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a heavy, undeniable weight: "The future scale of Shenzhen's real estate market will exceed your wildest imagination right now."

Now that we've entered this area, we can't just focus on our current small plot of land. We need to establish the necessary framework and acquire the necessary equipment first; then expansion will be a natural progression.

He turned his gaze back to her face, his eyes deep, as if he could see into the bewilderment in her heart: "Once one store is established, there will soon be a second, a third..."

If the timing is right and the model works, opening dozens of chain stores, covering the entire town of Shenzhen, and even expanding beyond, is not impossible.

Dozens of chain stores?! Ji Fanyin gasped, her scalp tingling from the sheer scale of the vision.

This is no longer a small shop! It's clearly the beginnings of a massive commercial empire that he's been talking about slowly taking shape!

And she was placed on the deck where this giant ship set sail, near the wheelhouse?

"So," Lei Guoliang's voice pulled her back from her shock, his tone turning cold and pressure-filled, like a quenched blade.

"I'm giving you the responsibility of managing this store, not making you a higher-level employee or store manager. This is giving you a starting point, a platform."

What you need to learn is how to build a business entity from scratch, make it successful, generate profits, and establish replicable standards.

Managing people, managing tasks, managing finances, managing operations—the knowledge involved is far deeper than memorizing a hundred sales scripts.

He leaned forward slightly, closing the distance between them, and Ji Fanyin could even see her own pale reflection in his eyes.

"I'm placing this opportunity in front of you. I'm paving the way for you. But whether you can seize it, keep up, and reach a higher, more surprising position depends on your ability and your determination."

He paused, and the air seemed to freeze; even the hum of the taxi engine sounded distant.

"If you can only manage one store well, then your ceiling is that one store. Only if you have the ability to manage a district or even the entire company can that position be yours."

"If you can't prove you have that ability by then..."

His tone was as calm as if he were stating the weather, yet every word was piercing: "I will naturally find a more suitable and capable person to take that position."

Don't blame me for not giving you a chance or for not making things clear upfront.

These words were like a bucket of ice water mixed with molten iron, poured over someone's head.

What's icy is his unvarnished, cruel reality and warning: if you can't keep up, you'll be ruthlessly replaced.

What he was rolling away was the vast, terrifying, and deadly blueprint he had personally drawn for her.

And that heavy trust and... expectation that almost suffocated her.

He wasn't keeping a mistress at all, or even just looking for a store manager.

He is selecting and cultivating a core team for the future, a partner whose interests are deeply intertwined with his, and with whom he can jointly expand his business.

Last night's intimacy, faced with such a naked business plan and ruthless elimination rules, suddenly felt... insignificant.

Ji Fanyin's heart was pounding wildly in her chest, not like a deer's fluttering, but a violent throbbing gripped by immense survival pressure, unprecedented ambition, and a do-or-die determination.

Looking at Lei Guoliang's calm, almost cold profile, the lingering shyness, entanglement, and subtle anticipation about love between men and women from last night vanished in an instant.

He wants a capable assistant and a general who can fight battles? Fine, then she'll show him!

She wanted him to know that she, Ji Fanyin, was worthy of his investment, worthy of his trust, and worthy of... that position beside him!

"I understand, Brother Lei." She took a deep breath, sat up straight, and dug her nails deep into her palms, using the pain to keep herself awake and determined.

The confusion and shyness in his eyes were replaced by a clear and sharp light. His voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear, with a reckless force.

"I will study hard and work my ass off. I'll register for my driver's license as soon as I get back. As for the things at the shop, I will do my best to fulfill the tasks you assigned me."

I will never... give you the opportunity to feel the need to find someone else to replace me.

She spoke the last sentence with some difficulty, but each word seemed to burst out from between her teeth and land on the ground.

Lei Guoliang gave her a deep look and saw in her eyes a fighting spirit that had been completely ignited, even somewhat ruthless.

He nodded almost imperceptibly, said nothing more, and turned back to look ahead: "Remember what you said today."

As the taxi drove into the auto city, the glass curtain walls of numerous 4S stores on both sides reflected a dazzling light in the afternoon sun.

In 2003, owning a private car was still an unattainable dream for the vast majority of migrant workers.

Without much hesitation, Lei Guoliang parked the car in front of a Volkswagen dealership. He got out, and Ji Fanyin quickly followed.

The store was well-air-conditioned, and several display cars were placed on the gleaming floor. A sales consultant greeted us warmly.

Lei Guoliang glanced around and walked straight to a black Passat 1.8T. He tapped the hood, opened the door, sat in the driver's seat to get a feel for it, and then got out to look at the back seat and trunk.

"This one, black, in stock. When can you get the paperwork done at the earliest?" He didn't even ask Fan Yin's opinion before asking the salesperson directly.

The salesperson was taken aback, having never seen such a decisive customer before, and quickly said, "If it's full payment, the temporary license plate can be processed this afternoon, and we'll expedite the related procedures..."

"Full payment. Now." Lei Guoliang interrupted him, taking out his bank card from his handbag.

The whole process was incredibly fast. Signing contracts, swiping cards, processing various documents...

Ji Fanyin followed behind like a shadow, watching him negotiate with the salesperson and manager. His words were concise and clear, and he seemed to have a thorough understanding of the car's parameters, costs, and insurance terms.

She couldn't help at all, and could only watch silently, her desire to become stronger and keep up with his pace burning ever brighter.

In less than two hours, all the formalities were basically completed, and the temporary license plate was affixed. Lei Guoliang took the brand-new car keys, opened the car door, and sat in the driver's seat.

The scent of genuine leather seats mixed with the unique aroma of a new car wafted towards him. He skillfully adjusted the seat and rearview mirrors, inserted the key, and started the engine.

The deep, powerful roar of the engine filled the car, calm and restrained, a stark contrast to the noisy, shaky feel of a taxi.

"Get in the car," he said, turning his head to Ji Fanyin, who was still standing outside the car.
