Chapter 223: Taken advantage of
Paramela drove out of the gate of Dongda University.
Zheng Jingjing, who was sitting in the back seat with Xu Siyi and Guo Ran, kept winking at Li Shurui, who was in the passenger seat.
Fortunately, the girls are all very slim, so it’s not too crowded for three people sitting in the back row.
Jiang Chen is driving.
Li Shurui noticed the look in her good sister's eyes, and waited until Paramela merged into the traffic flow before asking: "I heard that Luo Peng recently founded an angel investment company?"
"Well, Do you all know?"
Jiang Chen nodded.
He really wasn't kidding.
In the dormitory, I met Luo Peng and took action immediately. He contributed the money and Luo Peng contributed his efforts. He was like a charity ambassador, more like a boy who scattered money. Anyone who has a business idea can sign up. Currently Several projects have been planned, and more and more people are participating.
There is absolutely no shortage of ambitious people in prestigious universities who are determined by their destiny. What they lack is just start-up funds.
“You should have ordered him to do it, right?”
Li Shurui asked.
This angel investment club is now famous in the school, and many people are discussing it. Everyone only sees that Luo Peng is the main person in charge, but Li Shurui can guess who is behind it.
Although Luo Peng has a good family background, he definitely does not have such strong financial strength. It is only possible that this guy is behind it.
“How can you call me an instigator?”
Jiang Chen said with a smile as he drove: “It sounds like we are doing something bad. If we are poor, we can only benefit ourselves, if we are rich, we can help the world. We It’s just to help those ambitious alumni realize their dreams.”
“Jiang Chen, I think you are two smart people. You can invest in any project.”
Zheng Jingjing can’t bear it. Stop interrupting.
Jiang Chen glanced upward at the rearview mirror.
Girls are really observant creatures. Seeing that his "identity was exposed" did not become arrogant, so their fear of him gradually diminished.
“Is there any problem?”
“Of course there is a problem.”
Zheng Jingjing quickly expressed her opinion, “Look at what you voted for , Online girlfriend? It’s really vulgar. And online mourning hall? Please, if you really have money and nothing to spend, you might as well give it to me, I won’t mind.”
“I’m not your boyfriend. , why should I give you money?”
Jiang Chen joked.
“Oh, Shurui, look at him!”
Zheng Jingjing quickly complained, “He actually teased me in front of you!”
Li Shurui smiled and said nothing , just glanced at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen coughed lightly.
"Of course it's impossible to give you money, but if you have any dreams, maybe you can talk about it. If possible, I can help you."
It's a bit like a dream mentor.
“We want to open a dance training studio.”
As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, Zheng Jingjing said quickly, as if this was what he was waiting for.
Dare to love comes prepared.
“You are only in your junior year, and you are already thinking about starting a business?”
“This kind of thing happens no matter the time, don’t many freshmen go to your scapegoat club for consultation? ?”
The Big Head Club.
The description is really appropriate.
But beauty, you are looking for me to invest. Isn’t it inappropriate to be so blunt?
However, Jiang Chen showed his demeanor as a senior and didn't care.
"You three together?"
Guo Ran and Xu Siyi didn't say anything, and it was obvious that Zheng Jingjing was the one to talk to.
“There’s Shurui too!”
Zheng Jingjing is also very smart. She is worried that the three of her will not have any weight, so she drags Li Shurui along with her.
Jiang Chen was silent.
"Jiang Chen, we are serious. We have thought about it. We can start teaching from young children and then develop slowly. Parents nowadays attach great importance to the cultivation of their children's talents. Compared with those projects you invested in, It’s much more reliable.”
Obviously,
They should have discussed it in private, not on a whim.
Jiang Chen glanced at Li Shurui subconsciously.
Li Shurui also looked at him, but said nothing.
"How much money do you need?"
"Eight hundred thousand."
Zheng Jingjing quickly reported a number, as if she was worried that Jiang Chen would think they were cheating money, and then He quickly explained: "First of all, we have to rent a venue. The area cannot be too small. We have checked and found that many places can be rented for one year, and they also need to be renovated and purchase some equipment..."
8 One hundred thousand.
This is not a lot of money.
The reason why Jiang Chen asked Luo Peng to set up Luo, an angel investment agency, was to "launder money."
Just like many big guys investing in movies.
In fact, what they care about is not whether the movie can make a profit.
Don’t look at the fact that the media often exposes that a certain star’s salary is tens of millions.
In fact, it contains a lot of water.
Perhaps there are really strong stars who have guaranteed ratings and may be worth the price, but most of them are just double acts to cooperate with investors.
Investors need to falsely report the stars' remuneration to achieve some unknown purpose, and the stars also need "high remuneration" to increase their social status and put money in their own faces. The two parties can be said to hit it off. Each takes what he needs.
In fact, many seemingly incomprehensible phenomena are based on this principle.
It’s just like some of the loudest game advertisements. If it’s a brother, come and kill me. It’s so shoddy that even elementary school students don’t play it, so why pay sky-high prices for superstars to endorse it?
Is it really an extravagant hope that the sporadic players attracted in will make money?
How can capitalists be so stupid.
Speaking of which, Zheng Jingjing described herself as someone who was taken advantage of, which is actually true. She is a college student who has never experienced the beatings of society. Her ideas are too idealistic and her vision and ability are actually limited. Jiang Chen knows very well that those he invested in Project, in fact, the possibility of success in the end is very slim, but is it important?
He did not expect a return on these investments.
Of course.
If it really succeeds, that would be a good thing.
All he needs is to put a reasonable coat on the wealth in his hands.
Because it has just started, he has not invested much money in total so far, close to two million, but no one knows how much he has invested. It can be said that he has invested five million, and he can even invest losses in the future. The project is said to be profitable.
This is the key.
Many capital tycoons operate this way.
The four years of college economics are not learned in vain.
"Jiang Chen, it's only 800,000, you can't be so stingy, right?"
Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, Zheng Jingjing became anxious and couldn't help but look at Guo Ran and Xu Siyi.
But these two are not as heartless as her, nor are they as invisible as she is, and they are silent.
“Okay, I’ll invest in this project and I’ll give you one million.”
Jiang Chen was indeed so heroic.
“Really?!”
Zheng Jingjing’s eyes widened, the surprise came too suddenly, and she was a little caught off guard.
"A gentleman's words and a whip, Xuemei Zheng, it seems that I will be your boss from now on, please take care of me."
Jiang Chen meant a lot.
It can be seen that Guo Ran was also very excited, but she was quiet and did not show it.
One million, to Jiang Chen, may be a drop in the bucket, not worth mentioning. After all, he is a person who can give away 80 million diamonds at any time, but for them, it can change their lives and let them go. Go after the life you want.
"Then boss, should we listen to you or the boss's wife from now on?"
Xu Siyi, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly smiled coquettishly.
“Of course…”
Jiang Chen said in a long tone, "Listen to the boss lady."
Seeing that he did not refute the title, Li Shurui and Xu Siyi's eyes flickered at the same time.
Li Shurui tilted her head and looked out the window.
Xu Siyi kept her smile and became quiet again.
Zheng Jingjing pulled Guo Ran and whispered excitedly.
More than half an hour later, Panamera drove to the famous Spring and Autumn Washington. This time, the security did not stop him. He had obviously entered the Padme into the system and saluted and let him go.
Entering this legendary top-class wealthy area, even Xu Siyi, who has dated many rich second-generation boyfriends, couldn't help but look out the window, with an uncontrollable expression on her pretty face. Revealing the yearning for high life.
Jiang Chen didn’t do the embarrassing thing of getting lost again, and accurately drove the car to the entrance of the villa.
"Shu Rui, is this your house..."
Zheng Jingjing stared blankly at the gorgeous villa in front of her. After being there, she felt a stronger impact than she imagined. This condescending financial oppression was shocking to the soul.
Everyone has vanity, and there is nothing to hide.
Li Shurui was enjoying the envious gazes of her sisters at this moment. Of course, she would not show off deliberately and said softly: "Go in."
Entering the villa, the women all looked very nervous. A little reserved, the posture was the same as when Grandma Liu visited the Grand View Garden.
"Shu Rui, can we go upstairs and have a look?"
Obviously they are roommates living under the same roof, but Zheng Jingjing seemed a little awkward when speaking at this time.
“Of course.”
Li Shurui nodded and smiled.
Zheng Jingjing immediately pulled Guo Ran upstairs. Xu Siyi hesitated for a moment, perhaps a little embarrassed. I didn't want to show off too much, but I still followed him in the end.
“Are you really going to invest in them?”
Li Shurui looked at Jiang Chen.
“Isn’t that what you meant?” Jiang Chen asked back.
“They didn’t discuss it with me.”
Jiang Chen was stunned, and then smiled dumbly.
"Then why didn't you say anything in the car just now? That girl is smarter now, and she already knows the false propaganda."
"But it's okay, you vote for whoever you vote for anyway. , at least they really want to take dancing as a career.”
“I feel like I’m being taken advantage of by what you said.”
“You’re not, you’re just a philanthropist. .”
Jiang Chen smiled.
“Shu Rui, come up quickly!”
Zheng Jingjing's shout came from upstairs.
“I’ll go up and take a look.”
Jiang Chen nodded.
A few girls can visit a villa for an entire afternoon, holding their mobile phones and taking pictures everywhere. Without thinking too much, girls like Xu Siyi will definitely have licking dogs in their WeChat accounts. When they see the WeChat Moments, they will definitely feel ashamed of themselves. , dejected.
"Shu Rui, why don't we go out to eat today? Let's cook it ourselves."
Zheng Jingjing suggested.
“But there are no ingredients.”
“I’ll buy them.”
Jiang Chen volunteered, “But, can you cook?”
"Are you looking down on people? I know how to cook in junior high school, but I have to study the kitchen here."
"Awesome."
Jiang Chen praised and turned to go out.
"I'll go with you." Xu Siyi said.
Jiang Chen didn't think much and was about to nod, but Li Shurui said: "There's no need to buy too many things, it's enough for him to go alone."
Jiang Chen couldn't help but look at Li Shurui. After a glance, the other person's expression was calm and there was no abnormality.
Xu Siyi's smile froze, "...Okay then."
Taking the car keys, Jiang Chen went out.
There is an international chain supermarket near Chunqiu Washington.
Jiang Chen was pushing a cart and strolling around the daily necessities area when suddenly someone patted him on the back.
He looked back, surprised.
"Xuemei Luo?"
"Senior Jiang, it's really you. I thought I had the wrong person."
The other party was also pushing a cart with a bunch of snacks in it. .
“What a coincidence.”
“It’s quite a coincidence.”
Luo Lier didn’t tie her hair in a double ponytail today, but instead wore a bun to match her delicate look. The cartoon face is still as lethal as ever.
Jiang Chen feels that if he uses her as a prototype to create a virtual girlfriend image, it will definitely become popular in various universities.
"Senior Jiang, did you happen to pass by this time too?"
Luo Li'er glanced at his cart.
There are some vegetables, meat products, and fresh food inside, which are all ingredients.
Jiang Chen smiled awkwardly, and then explained: "Actually, I am working part-time."
"Part-time?"
Luo Lier's eyelashes fluttered, and her big obsidian eyes were filled with confusion.
"Have you ever heard of running errands and buying groceries? Isn't it the weekend? Let's make some extra money."
"Oh."
Luo Lier seems to really believe it. , "Senior Jiang, you are really working hard."
Jiang Chen didn't answer.
When they met here, Jiang Chen really had no reason to throw him away, so he could only go shopping with the school beauty.
When it came time to check out, he also paid the other person’s share very gracefully.
“Senior Jiang, I’m sorry to cost you money.”
This is not polite.
What this girl bought were some imported snacks, which were really not cheap.
But the problem is, when you paid for it just now, you didn’t even try to stop me. Where was the slightest sign of embarrassment?
“It’s okay, Miss Pei has paid me a lot anyway.”
Jiang Chen suddenly became enthusiastic as if nothing had happened, as if he was a good person who would do his best to the end, “I’ll take you back. . "
Of course Luo Li'er would not refuse the offer of free labor. But when she saw that Jiang Chen was driving Li Shurui's car, her eyes inevitably changed, but she didn't gossip and just asked, "Jiang Senior, can you make enough money from running errands to pay for gas?”
Jiang Chen remained silent.
Paramela drove into Spring and Autumn Washington.
“We’re here.”
Under Luo Lier’s instructions, Jiang Chen parked the car in front of a white villa with a front yard and a backyard.
"Senior Jiang, thank you."
Luo Lier opened the door and got out of the car, took her snacks from the back seat, and was about to see you, but Jiang Chen got out of the car and took it from her hand. Li used force to snatch the snack away.
“Let me carry it in for you.”
Luo Lier was startled.
Jiang Chen forced out a harmless smile.
Although it felt a little weird, Luo Lier didn't think much, nodded, and led Jiang Chen towards the villa.
“Ding.”
The fingerprint lock is opened.
Luo Li'er put down her hand, turned around and said, "Senior Jiang, come in."
The only lesson humans learn from history is that they will never learn from history.
The story of Little Red Riding Hood luring the wolf into the house has long been written in fairy tale books, but people never take heed of it.
Jiang Chen secretly took a breath.
The reason why he is investing everywhere now like a bully is to prepare for a rainy day and prepare for the future. But if the progress is stuck here, then everything will be in vain.
With more than 20 million, you can’t even make waves in the Dadonghai Sea, so you don’t need any reasonable outerwear.
So winning the second goal is the top priority, even if it is extremely difficult.
