Chapter 589: The Prince Consort
In the Epang Palace, there was still singing and dancing.
The beauties, whose temperament and image are not inferior to those of celebrities, wear palace skirts and dance gracefully.
Jiang Chen was sitting on the second floor, where he and Lan Peizhi had visited for the first time, drinking in silence.
During this period, he has lived here. After all, it is his own property, and it is always more comfortable than a hotel.
He looked at the recent operating conditions of Afang Palace, and the business was quite booming. It can be seen that when Lan Peizhi sold this store to him, it was definitely not to get rid of non-performing assets.
It’s just a dream to get back the investment of 1.5 billion in a short time.
But doing business cannot be limited to the present.
When big bosses invest in projects, what they value most of the time is not the benefits brought by the project, but the project itself.
For example, the status of the boss behind Afang Palace is enough for people to take a high look even in the unfathomable city of Kyoto.
"Hi."
Jiang Chen's shoulder was suddenly tapped, and before he could turn his head, the other person had already sat down beside him in a very discreet manner.
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.
It was the "mellow" lady again.
He subconsciously looked around again.
Hu Chi didn’t come.
"Unfortunately this time, I came to see you specifically." Yuan Run took the initiative to speak.
“Looking for me?”
Jiang Chen looked confused and really wanted to ask: Are we familiar with each other?
However, due to the gentleman’s demeanor, I still held back.
"How did you know I was here?" He didn't care about the episode last time.
“I don’t know.”
Yuan Run responded innocently, “I just came to play with my friends and try my luck. Look, they are there.”
< br>Jiang Chen glanced downstairs.
“Aren’t you the boss of Afang Palace now, so I thought you would come to your store to have a look, and my guess was indeed right.” Yuan Run said again.
Simple words reveal extraordinary information.
This girl actually knows that Afang Palace has changed its boss?
But when I think of her identity, I feel relieved.
Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze from downstairs, and asked neither coldly nor enthusiastically: "What do you want from me?"
"You and the prince brother are very familiar. ”
In total, this was only the third time we met Yuan Run tonight. He was indeed very reserved. He stared at Jiang Chen with a pair of bright and clear eyes, plus that cute round face that you couldn't help but pinch. If it weren't for The previous two meetings were so profound that Jiang Chen might have been deceived by her appearance.
"You mean Teacher Cao?"
"Yeah."
Yuan Run nodded quickly.
Jiang Chen didn't show any clues, but his brain was moving at high speed. Facing Yuan Run's gaze, he said intriguingly: "It's quite familiar."
Although he didn't know the prince The title "brother" carries a lot of weight.
But I don’t know how serious it is.
These brothers and sisters are not easy to get along with. They have come to make trouble before.
Tearing the tiger skin has both advantages and disadvantages.
"How did you meet?" Yuan Run was like a curious baby, asking one after another: "When did you meet?"
Of course, Jiang Chen couldn't answer, so he changed the subject calmly, "What time is it now, and you guys haven't gone back to school yet? You don't have to go to class tomorrow?"
Today is a Wednesday with no clues about the past or the future.
The last time I bumped into him outside Huaqing, I learned that the other person was a student at Huaqing University.
Of course,
Jiang Chen also understood that this girl probably didn’t get into the exam.
You don’t look at people through colored glasses.
This girl may be smart, but smartness and the ability to cope with exam-oriented education are two different things.
He really didn't believe that in the college entrance examination classroom with real swords and guns, the other party could fight against the vast number of students from all over the country who were fighting for their books like sand.
"I have no class tomorrow morning." Yuan Run responded nonchalantly, and suddenly asked: "By the way, why don't you sell noodles here? It's very delicious. I couldn't even order what I wanted to order just now. ”
Jiang Chen couldn’t laugh or cry.
This girl still has the nerve to mention it.
Isn’t it your brother who caused this?
Ever since the last story of "One bowl of rice noodle, two bowls of money", when he took over Afang Palace, he canceled the ice noodle from the menu. Anyway, there was not much profit.
"The dishes have been updated. If you want to eat, you can go to other places."
"Hey, hey, are you doing this business? I am cheering you on, you You actually asked me to go somewhere else?”
Jiang Chen would rather the other party never come to visit him. Of course, he cannot say this directly.
"Thank you for your support. Your consumption today will be counted on me and will be waived." He said against his will, forcing out a formulaic smile.
“That’s about it.”
Yuan Run’s face softened slightly, “But let’s forget about it for free. I never like to take advantage of others.”
I can’t tell. Quite principled.
Since the other party insists, Jiang Chen will naturally not force it. After all, it is not easy for him to open a business.
“Is there anything else?”
Jiang Chen asked.
The implication of these words is that he is undoubtedly driving people away.
"No." Yuan Run responded subconsciously, and then reacted, "It's not that you haven't answered my question yet. When did you and the prince brother meet?"
This girl, Don't you admire that Teacher Cao?
That’s why you are so obedient and honest in front of the other party.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but guess, but he didn't tease him out loud.
After all, you can’t just joke around with everyone.
“It’s a long story.” He picked up the cocktail and took a sip.
"It's okay, I have time." Yuan Run put his arm on the table, rested his chin on his hand, and stared at him unblinkingly.
"But I'm afraid I don't have time."
Before Yuan Run had time to speak, he noticed that the other party suddenly looked behind him.
She also looked back subconsciously, and then her expression changed.
"Haha."
She laughed dryly, which was ridiculous, then stood up and left.
Passing by Lampei.
“She’s looking for trouble again?”
Jiang Chen shook his head and smiled: “No, it’s just a child.”
Child.
He seemed not much older than the other person.
Lampei Zhi glanced at him and sat down, "Do you really agree to spend 50 billion?"
"Of course. Is it possible that I will still make fun of that person?" The Jiuding Group has launched a coup. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive in China." Lan Peizhi was silent for a moment, "I really envy you rich people."
Jiang Chen was startled. , and then burst out laughing uncontrollably.
This Blood Guanyin is really becoming more and more "human".
"Miss Cao is so arrogant and ambitious, I can only risk my life to accompany the gentleman." Jiang Chen restrained his smile.
“Since you two have reached an agreement, I shouldn’t need to participate.”
“No.”
Jiang Chen’s expression changed and he immediately emphasized: “ You must join in. We have agreed before. You are Lampezhi, so you can’t go back on your word, right?”
Lan Peizhi glanced at him and said, "You two have invested 100 billion. It doesn't matter whether you have me or not."
Important!
It’s so important!
How would I pay without you? !
Jiang Chen’s face was full of solemnity, “You can’t say that. Miss Cao and I are not actually familiar with each other. She is willing to cooperate only for your sake. Moreover, she and I are only shareholders in this company. You manage it.”
“I’ll manage it?”
Lampe raised her eyebrows.
Jiang Chen nodded seriously, "Miss Cao and I each have 50 billion. No one is suitable to manage it. You are the most suitable candidate."
"This is your opinion. Or is it her opinion?"
Jiang Chen avoided talking, "I believe Miss Cao will agree. After all, you have such a good relationship with her, she has no reason to object."
"Do you think she invested in this project for me?" Lan Peizhi said: "Fifty billion, even for Jiuding Group, is not an insignificant amount. She is willing to spend this money, it must be After careful consideration. Not because of anyone’s face.”
Jiang Chen nodded, “Miss Cao is indeed a very ambitious entrepreneur.”
“Today, about the Internet lending platform. The relevant regulatory guidelines have been issued.”
Jiang Chen looked confused.
“It stipulates that online lending companies cannot be leveraged too high, that is to say, they cannot be overly dependent on bank loans.” Lampezhi continued.
“Why haven’t I heard about it?” Jiang Chen wondered.
Lan Peizhi said nothing.
Jiang Chen quickly realized that he had asked nonsense.
Lan Peizhi’s information channels must be better than his.
Maybe this policy has just been introduced and has not been announced yet.
Why are those big companies always able to seize the opportunity smoothly? It's not that they can predict the future, but that they can grasp the inside information earlier and faster than small businesses and ordinary people, so they can respond in advance and stop losses in time, and everything will be safe. .
“Once this policy is introduced, won’t it seriously affect the current Internet financial industry?” Jiang Chen frowned and thought.
Excluding illegal loan sharks, most of the funds of normal online loan companies come from bank loans.
That’s right.
These companies first borrow money from banks and then lend it to others, or they use high leverage to magnify the small.
For example.
An online loan company has only 2 billion in actual capital. Using a series of financial means, it may eventually be able to lend out 20 billion or even 200 billion in loans!
This is no exaggeration.
Many companies are doing this now, including even leading companies in the industry.
After all, who would really use hundreds of billions of cash flows to earn meager loan interest?
It is obviously only 2 billion, but it has been magnified dozens or hundreds of times and flowed into the society. China's economy is huge. It may not matter if one or two companies do this, but if the number is large, the extra money will inevitably have a negative impact on the society. Impact on financial stability.
Jiang Chen, who majors in economics, knows all these things very well, so he has always been cautious when it comes to using licking gold. It is no exaggeration to say that if ten trillions are thrown out together, he will not say anything. The financial order in China can at least be severely shaken.
Finance is a fantasy field, but with the wings of the Internet, it has infinite possibilities. "Blowing drums to spread flowers" and "making something out of nothing" are its specialties, but what Jiang Chen doesn't understand is , why he didn’t come out early or late? Just when he was planning to set foot in this industry, regulations suddenly came out.
“Isn’t this too coincidental?”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but say.
“Isn’t this good news for you?” Lan Peizhi said inexplicably.
Jiang Chen’s brows furrowed, as if he was awakened and suddenly reacted.
Yes.
He is different from those companies that play financial games.
He and Cao Jinse are really planning to take out 100 billion, and there is no need to add much leverage.
It is no exaggeration to say that none of the current Internet financial companies and leading companies in the field of online lending are as bold as them.
Restrictions on graft and high leverage have indeed suppressed the online lending companies currently on the market.
But what are those companies?
Is the competitor he is about to face!
Thinking about it this way, isn't it possible that the official government is helping him...
Jiang Chen's expression changed involuntarily, and he couldn't help but think of the background of Cao Jinse and the Jiuding Group.
Although Jiuding Group is not a state-owned enterprise, don’t forget that some state-owned capital still participates in it, and the industries it is involved in are not core areas. If you say that there is no support from state power behind it, I’m afraid you won’t believe it.
"This white paper cannot be Miss Cao..."
Jiang Chen made a bold and realistic conjecture.
"The current Internet finance is in chaos, and Qiangsheng Financial Services is a prominent example. It is indeed time to rectify it, otherwise there will inevitably be big chaos in the future." Lan Peizhi did not respond directly: "This should be just It’s a start, and relevant policies should be released one after another. The good days of those illegal online lending platforms are over.”
"If you really have this determination, of course it is a good thing, but will it affect you?" Jiang Chen asked.
You know, Lan Peizhi also has shares in Qiangsheng Financial Services.
There was no answer, Lan Peizhi just shook his head.
Jiang Chen didn’t ask any more questions.
Same.
He seemed a little concerned but confused.
Lan Peizhi is so powerful, if he would be implicated by a powerful financial service, he probably wouldn't be able to live freely until today.
"Ms. Cao is really good at everything. Doing business with her is definitely a good idea."
Jiang Chen sighed, looking like a villain holding Dezhi on his lap.
No wonder the other party is so confident. If he doesn’t invest 20 billion, he will invest 50 billion, and he threatens to either do nothing or do his best.
We are all gamblers playing at the same gambling table, but you decide the rules, so it’s a waste of time.
"That's right."
Jiang Chen glanced at Yuan Run who was having fun with his friends downstairs, then withdrew his gaze and stared at Lan Peizhi, "Miss Cao's brother, really Is he just an ordinary teacher who teaches at Beijing University? "
Teaching at Beijing University, is it still called ordinary?
But when used here, it doesn’t seem to be inconsistent at all.
"What do you think?"
Lampei asked back.
Jiang Chen did not answer directly, seemingly joking, "Later I met him again, and Yuan Run. And I seemed to hear Yuan Run calling him, Prince Brother. Is it just like your Blood Guanyin? "Growing a nickname?"
It's really getting more and more outrageous.
But just like pursuing a woman, it is impossible to succeed if you follow the same rules.
Women don't like any gentleman.
"But his nickname seems to be more domineering than yours."
As expected, Lan Peizhi was not angry, turned a deaf ear and said nothing.
“In that case, Miss Cao, can’t she be considered a princess?”
Jiang Chen said to himself.
Lampei Zhi, who had been instigated before, had a strange look in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"What about you? Are you interested in becoming a prince-consort now?"
