Chapter 379 - Tea is Really Fragrant

Chapter 379: Tea is Really Fragrant

There were no twists and turns in the process of getting the title deed.

It was just a two-story office building. To the Shanghai Housing Management Center, it was nothing.

In the trading hall on the third floor, Wang Yan saw an old man dressed in plain clothes, holding a stack of title deeds in his hands. He flipped through them one by one, and after five minutes, he still couldn’t find a house to sell.

His pride disappeared.

I’m still a rookie… the road to becoming a tycoon is long and arduous.

After taking all kinds of documents, he drove straight to 100 Pudong South Road.

Wang Ting Entertainment’s new headquarters, Haiguang Building, was less than 1,000 meters away from Minsheng bank building, so it was close.

In fact, almost all the big domestic banks’ buildings were in Lujiazui, but none of the entertainment companies had their headquarters there — the rent was really expensive, who could afford it.

But from another perspective, the property rights in the surrounding areas would be more recognized by the banks.

To dare to open a company in Lujiazui, and it was their own property rights, it was awe-inspiring to hear it.

Not counting other things, just the utilities cost five million a year.

For an ordinary person, a bet on a two-color jackpot would not even be enough to pay a year’s fee after deducting taxes. It was such an exaggeration.

The bank was bearing the same cost, so it naturally understood the value of the two floors better. It would also look up to companies that dared to set up their headquarters here.

Therefore, the loan was definitely not a problem. It was Chu Hong who begged Wang Yan to do it.

The problem was how to get the valuation to 600 million.

It was not easy..

Thinking about how to trick Chu Hong again, Young Master Wang strolled to the southern entrance of Minsheng building.

There was a security guard in the lobby, and a pretty girl stood at the front desk. She was wearing a Minsheng bank uniform.

Minsheng’s uniform… it was hard to explain.

The color of the female autumn and winter uniform was a little gray, and the scarf looked like a 1980s grandmother’s hood. The entire set of clothes looked round on her body, cheap and bloated.

She was quite a pretty girl, and wearing a uniform actually made Young Master Wang feel like he couldn’t bear to look at her.

To be honest, it wasn’t even as pretty as the uniform of a random bathing center.

Forget it, forget it, it has nothing to do with me..

Young Master Wang resisted the urge to continue ridiculing her and walked forward.

When the girl at the front desk saw Wang Yan, her eyes lit up.

The Handsome Guy didn’t have a second suit, and he also thought that the high-order suit was too flashy. Today, he was only wearing a “simple” casual outfit.

The clothes were a three-piece Hermes suit, a dark red shirt with a vertical collar, a worsted wool straight jacket, and pure black straight pants.

The belt and backpack were Louis Vuitton, blue and gray plaid.

The watch was wearing the British garden fashion watch, and it was very plain.

Really, the whole body added up to less than 500,000, which was a low-profile batch.

The main reason was that the temperament was good, the person was handsome enough, and the appearance was attractive, which made the front desk girl feel that it was very pleasing to the eye.

“Hello, Sir. How can I help you?”

The little noise was crisp, and it complemented her good-looking face. Thus, Young Master Wang became more and more annoyed with her uniform.

“Your uniform is simply the greatest insult to your beauty. Beauty, have you ever considered changing to another company to develop? Our work clothes are especially good-looking.”

A casual sentence made the girl’s face slightly red, and she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Little handsome, we are a bank. What are you doing dressed so beautifully?

“Sir, do you have any business to handle? It’s my working time now. I can only discuss unrelated issues with you after 5:30pm.”

The girl’s face was stern and she looked very reserved, but there was a little anticipation in her eyes.

If she flirted a little more and performed well, she should be able to make an appointment after 5:30pm.

After coming to a conclusion, Young Master Wang immediately said in a serious tone, “I’m looking for Vice President Chu Hongzhu. We have an appointment.”

“Ah…”

The girl at the front desk seemed surprised and sighed. She hurriedly came out from the information desk and pointed the way for Wang Yan.

“Staircase No. 3, fifth floor. Someone will be there to lead you when you go up…”

“Thank you.”

Wang Yan nodded politely, then turned around and walked away mercilessly.

Between 85 and 90 points, she was a beauty. It was a pity that she did not meet the criteria to make a move on her. Strictly speaking, what she did just now was not flirting. It was a serious insult.

The moment Wang Yan left, the receptionist immediately took out her phone and sent a message to her sisters.

“Chu Hang’s customer is here. He’s very young and very handsome! Feifei, you want to send it!”

“Really?”

“Really! You have to seize the opportunity. Don’t let them… you know!”

“Okay, I’ll talk to you later.”

After the girl at the front desk finished reporting the news, she opened another small group and started to gossip. Bala Bala.

Young Master Wang did not know anything. He was like a little sheep that was about to step into the tiger’s den. He came to the fifth floor and was accepted by another girl.

Chu Hong’s appearance was very good. If they met, they would have to go through two posts.

However, he did not dare to put on airs with Wang Yan. He went out early and waited at the office door.

“Young Master Wang, welcome, welcome! Please come in!”

In the face of the oily middle-aged man’s business enthusiasm, Young Master Wang responded in a reserved manner.

It was the kind of shallow smile that was neither salty nor insipid, but extremely zhuangbility.

There was nothing he could do. He was too young, and he did not want to eat Chu Hong’s smooth and amiable personality. It was truly the most effective way to be cold and aloof.

“Chu Xing is so pleased with himself. It seems like there’s a good thing?”

“Young Master Wang, it’s the greatest good thing that you’re here! Come, come, come, please sit! Chen Xi, serve the tea!”

Before he sat down, Wang Yan looked around Chu Hong’s office.

The space was not particularly large. It was about 30 square meters, and it was not as large as he had imagined.

The office desk was very messy, with all kinds of miscellaneous items and documents piled up.

There was a large bookshelf on the side that was not full. The books were mainly specialized books related to finance, money, banking, and law. There were no huge tomes that were specially used to support the occasion.

There was a small resting area on the right side of the room. There was a set of purple sand tea set on the coffee table. The large bucket of Fiji mineral water next to it was half full. It looked like he often drank tea.

From all the details, Chu Hong did not look like the kind of old-fashioned bank leader who cared about appearances.

On the contrary, he had a pragmatic personality.

It was not strange. The environment was different.

Minsheng was not a state-owned enterprise. It was the first joint-stock bank in the country that was controlled by private capital.

The second, third, and fifth presidents were all very good. They laid a good foundation for Minsheng and developed into a king in a small field.

The sixth president had an incident in January this year. The seventh president Zheng was appointed in the face of danger and rose to the top in the middle of this year.

Wang Yan had checked Chu Hong’s resume. He had been the Vice President of the Shanghai Branch for two years. He had risen to the top during the previous president’s time. However, since president Zheng’s appointment, he had already made moves against many branch leaders. Chu Hong was still as stable as Mount Tai. It was worth pondering.

Wang Yan guessed that there were two possibilities.

The first possibility was that Chu Hong was very clean. He had relied entirely on his ability to rise to the position and was not afraid of being investigated.

The second possibility was that Chu Hong was greedy, but he had a background and ability. The higher-ups were willing to turn a blind eye to him.

It was difficult to judge at the moment. He needed more time to observe.

Someone might ask, what did this have to do with Wang Yan?

It was very simple. If he wanted to trick others, he had to know himself and the enemy, right?

A loan of a few hundred million, and a 0.5 point interest rate difference, all represented extremely high interest rates.

Not to mention that Young Master Wang was still waiting for Chu Hong to help him make a 600 million evaluation. That was a huge matter that would affect the system’s upgrade by 10 levels.

Wang Yan did not make any preparations. It was not his style to act rashly when he was hot-headed.

The most ideal result would be to directly exchange benefits without using any tricks and settle it with money.

However, the relationship between the two had not reached that stage yet, and there were some other hidden dangers.

Therefore, he could only find another way and adapt to the situation.

It was quite troublesome, but Wang Yan treated this matter as a necessary test on his long journey, so he was full of motivation.

..

Chu Hong did not know how much information and preparation Wang Yan had done in order to meet him today. He still felt that Young Master Wang’s aloofness was a matter of course. It was his nature, so he continued to put on a warm face and put on a cold butt with a smile.

“Young Master Wang, those two floors are too generous!”

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows. “Oh? You heard about it?”

“Not only that! I watched the auction live on the Internet!”

Chu Hong slapped his thigh and beamed with joy.

It was quite unexpected that he would watch the auction, but after thinking about it, he did not find it strange.

When he set up the trap, Wang Yan had revealed the information about the auction of the Haiguang Building.

Chu Hong was a thoughtful person. He was concerned about the loan from Wang Ting Entertainment and also wanted to establish a personal relationship with Wang Yan. Naturally, he had to pay attention to the situation of the auction.

At the very least, he could verify if Wang Yan was a braggart or if he really had the ability.

After confirming it, Chu Hong flattered him without any limits today.

“At that time, I was so nervous that I was sweating. I thought that it wasn’t easy for you to find a worthwhile office building. which ignorant bastard was arguing there?

If you moved to Haiguang, wouldn’t it be great if we were neighbors?

Seeing that you had suddenly raised the price to 351 million, I was so scared that I almost smashed my mouse!

Oh my, really, I don’t even know how to describe it!

I thought that this should be stable, right?

In the end, I didn’t expect that the guy who overestimated himself would still dare to follow!

At that time, I was so excited. I was guessing whether you would continue to follow, where you would follow, and what the psychological price was. I felt even more excited than going on stage myself.

In my opinion, once that building was bid for 360 million, it wouldn’t be that cheap anymore. There were many assets that were more cost-effective than Hai Guang.

Who would have thought that you would be so fierce?

I’m not exaggerating at all. At that time, you directly used the price of 400 million to kill the other party. I shivered and my phone shattered into pieces. I was stunned for at least five minutes!”

Chu Hong’s flattery was too brilliant. It was so satisfying that Wang Yan did not want it anymore.

However, the Young Master still controlled his emotions and waved his hand with a smile. “You’re exaggerating, Chu Xing, you’re absolutely exaggerating!”

Chu Hong was absolutely speechless. He took out a phone from his desk drawer on the spot and placed it on the table.

“The evidence is here. The screen was broken and I purposely kept it. Young Master Wang, take a look. How do you plan to compensate me?”

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Wang Yan was convinced.

He sighed and shook his head with a bitter smile. “You’ve already said so much… fine, how do I fill in the information for the card? My first credit card in my life will be yours, okay?”

His tone was forced. The boss was unwilling, as if he had given Chu Hong a lot of face.

However, although unbelievable, Chu Hong really believed it!

He was extremely grateful and treated it as a huge favor.

“Young Master Wang is loyal! Thank you, thank you, Old Chu, I didn’t throw my phone for nothing, Haha!”

Was Chu Hong stupid?

Of course he wasn’t.

But he couldn’t stop Wang Yan from being too awesome.

In his eyes, the moment he shouted out the price of 400 million, Wang Yan was the most wilful child in the world.

With that 400 million, what could he not do?

There were countless assets in Shanghai that could be picked up cheaply. There was no need to fight to the death with the two floors of the Haiguang Building.

However, Wang Yan was so brazen as to bid for it. I’m willing to buy it for a thousand gold coins. Are you convinced?

In any case, Chu Hong was convinced.

Opening an entertainment company and buying an office building as a base was already very wilful and unnecessary. The price of 400 million was even crazier.

Chu Hong could not treat Wang Yan as a stupid rich second generation. Wang Yan was about to turn the live broadcast industry upside down. He was very powerful.

How could he explain it then?

He was rich!

He didn’t need the 30 to 50 million to buy happiness.

There was nothing wrong with his logic, so Chu Hong really treated Wang Yan as a god-level rich second generation.

Based on his own experience, Chu Hong estimated that Wang Yan still had at least 200 to 300 million in cash, and his controllable assets were more than one billion.

Such a powerful person was willing to get his first credit card at home. wasn’t it obvious that he was giving face?!

Did he lack that little credit line of yours?

It wasn’t even enough for him to be wilful and shout out a price once!

..

Wang Yan didn’t expect things to go so smoothly.

Even before he started to bluff, Chu Hong had the tendency to limp.

But it was better this way. It saved him trouble and effort.

Next, he could slightly adjust his routine and lower the hook a little deeper.

Just as he was pondering, the girl named Chen Xi finally finished making tea and stood in front of Chu Hong and Wang Yan.

Wang Yan raised his head and finally looked at the “Secretary” who is busy for the first time. He was instantly stunned.

She was wearing a round uniform, which made her look especially round.

Her scarf was not tied. The collar of her shirt was open, but it was not wide, revealing her round and delicate collarbone.

The cheeks were very fleshy, and the peaches… Ugh! Goose egg shape.

Her skin was especially white, her hair was black, and her lips were pink.

When she smiled, she revealed six white teeth — it was the kind of standard ceremonial fake smile that did not feel any warmth, but when she smiled, it only made people feel demure and elegant.

Overall, the three impressions were: beautiful, demure, and fierce.

Especially the latter two. When they appeared at the same time, they formed a very contradictory feeling, which unexpectedly brought with it an extremely strong attraction.

Tsk tsk..

Who said that the People’s livelihood uniform was ugly?

It was clearly because the person was not beautiful enough and could not be controlled!

Looking at the girl in front of him, was the dress important?

Young Master Wang rarely checked on anyone’s appearance alone. At this moment, he still could not help but throw out ten thousand dollars for a fresh look.

As soon as the results came out..

Slurp!

Ugh, the tea smells so good.
