Chen Xihua's grandfather was born into a poor family and started from scratch, enduring a lot of hardship.

He has received help from many people and has also helped many people. His grandfather worked hard for thirty years to make the Chen family company a leading enterprise in the local area and to list it on the stock exchange.

When Chen Xihua was ten years old, the Chen family company faced a huge crisis of bankruptcy. Her parents were still at a branch office in another city and could not come back.

Despite his already limited mobility, the grandfather was pushed by her to a large project bidding conference, where he turned the tide and secured the most crucial cooperation project.

Later, before his grandfather passed away, he couldn't remember many things, but he would often tell Chen Xihua, "In doing business, ability and vision are very important, but being a good person is also very important. If conditions permit, do more good deeds for others."

The project manager was someone my grandfather had helped with a small favor before; he must have recognized my grandfather.

Chen Xihua looked at Grandpa Wang and threw a small tantrum, but was quickly coaxed by Dad Wang, and she pulled herself out of her reverie.

After having lunch at the Wang family's house, Chen Xihua left.

...

Over the next few days, Chen Xihua visited the three Fanghua stores and also strolled around the 800-square-meter plot of land that Director Yang had helped her buy in the northern district of Yun City.

Chen Xihua's plan is to build a 30-story commercial building, which will also serve as the future headquarters of the "5+1" group company.

At that time, we can also rent out some offices.

The budget for building a commercial building is approximately five to six million.

Once the houses in Leiting Mansion are completed and sold by the end of this year, and the funds are in place, construction can begin.

In Gaoyang County, the price of commercial housing has now reached 1,000 yuan per square meter. Leiting Haoxuan has an area of ​​about 50,000 square meters.

Chen Xihua did some mental calculations and estimated that he would receive about eight or nine million in dividends. After deducting the three million invested, the profits would just be enough to build a commercial building.

Oh dear, the money we earn isn't enough to cover our expenses. We also need to build tourist hotels in Pingtang County.

Or should we hold off on selling the property and wait for it to appreciate in value?

No, commercial buildings are more valuable. Forget it, let's sell the houses sooner rather than later and build commercial buildings; we can wait and see about the tourist hotels.

July 24th, 9 PM.

Back in her hotel room, Chen Xihua lay down, her mind racing with money. She realized that her ventures seemed to have expanded too much, and the funds weren't keeping up.

Ring ring ring, the phone rang.

Chen Xihua was getting a little listless from calculating the money. She slowly got up, took out her phone from her bag, and answered the call.

"Big sister, it's me. It's so late, is there something you need?"

A three-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) is for sale? ...Buy it...Yes...

One million nine hundred and eighty thousand, buy it, not expensive... I'll buy it all with my money, yes, the money should be enough, put it in my name...

Sister, please buy it for me tomorrow. After that, you can look for other apartments and see if you have enough money. If it's suitable, you can buy one.

"Rooms in Beijing now, I think they're around 400,000 to 500,000 yuan a unit..."

A dozen minutes later, Chen Xihua, who had just hung up the phone, lay face down on the bed with her limbs spread out in a starfish shape.

She was excited, finally going to buy a courtyard house; yet also a little dejected, thinking that she simply didn't have enough money to keep up with her spending.

What other ways are there to make money quickly?

"The 1990s, the 1990s, real estate, stock speculation, internet technology..." Chen Xihua muttered to herself, and then she suddenly sat up.

How could she forget that the bull market will begin in late May next year, 1999? These two months are precisely the critical moment in the domestic financial defense battle.

In the following two or three years, with the rise of internet technology, I heard that there was a shell company that only had the name of internet technology, and its stock was being speculated to be very expensive.

Yes, I'll go to Haishi again next year.

...

The banquet hall of Jiang City's only five-star hotel is bustling with activity tonight.

The Changsheng Group's Jiangshi branch was officially established in Beijing.

Tonight, almost all the prominent businessmen and local dignitaries in Jiang City are present.

Of course, this excludes the Ning family and a few other families involved in politics.

The Sun and Zhong families were the most proactive.

Because the main character of the banquet was the young master of the Huo family, the Sun family not only wanted to cooperate with the Huo family's company, but also wanted Sun Meijuan to marry into the wealthy Huo family.

The Zhong family, being pragmatic and eager to make money, hoped to collaborate with the Huo family on tourism development in Pingtang County.

The Zhong family is one of only two companies in Jiang City that are the largest real estate and construction companies, and they certainly don't want to be left behind.

If the Sun family were to align themselves with the Huo family and become the dominant force, it would be bad for everyone.

At this moment, Sun Meijuan, dressed in her finest attire, looked around the banquet hall, searching for Young Master Huo.

Zhong Qian originally came in with Sun Meijuan, but she didn't like this kind of banquet socializing and hid in a corner to watch the show.

Sun Meijuan has been approached by several groups of people, and she seems to enjoy it, although some have been driven away by her scolding.

"Young Master Huo, I couldn't find Chen Xihua or Chen Xiaowu, whom you mentioned, in Jiang City, nor could I find Dali's second sister."

"Young master, are you really sure you were saved by two girls?"

Zhong Qian was leaning against the window when she suddenly heard a man's voice reporting quietly in the hallway outside.

"How could we not find them? Jiang City is such a small place." Huo Kai glared at his bodyguard. He had brought two bodyguards to Jiang City this time, and the one in front of him was the one he had sent out to look for them.

He's been in Jiang City for almost a week now, and the branch office has been established. But actually, he's just going through the motions; there are dedicated people in charge of all the company's affairs.

Huo Kai stayed here to find the two Chen sisters on the motorcycle and thank them. He also thought the two sisters were quite interesting and wanted to get to know them and make friends.

I can't find him. Could he not be in Jiang City?

At this moment, Zhong Qian had already quietly arrived outside the corridor, at the corner.

She saw that the person speaking was a young man, who should be the young master of the Huo family, and the other person was a bodyguard.

"I might know where Chen Xiaowu is!"

Just now, when Zhong Qian heard Chen Xiaowu mentioned, she felt a sense of familiarity.

Her classmate Chen Meihua often talked about her younger sister, Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, and how amazing she was.

She also has the surname Chen, and Chen Meihua has a second older sister whom Zhong Qian has met; she's heard that the older sister is very powerful.

If I help Young Master Huo find Chen Xiaowu, will the Zhong family then have some connection with the Huo family?

Then Dad won't need to go around trying to build connections with the Huo family.

"Who are you? How did you know? Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?" Huo Kai turned his head, his eyebrows furrowed, and looked at Zhong Qian with disbelief.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, quite pretty, could she be deliberately trying to hook up with me?

In Beijing, Huo Kai had seen many girls trying to strike up a conversation with him, including his female classmates in college.

"I am Zhong Qian, the daughter of the Zhong family. I don't know if that person is the same one."

There's a classmate of mine surnamed Chen who often says his younger sister is called Xiao Wu.

She has five sisters, and her family is from Gaoyang County. Chen Xiaowu is a first-year high school student at Jiangshi Middle School.

Zhong Qian is also a very proud young lady. In Jiang City, who looked down on her like this?

The way that young master Huo looked at me just now made it seem like I was trying to find an excuse to strike up a conversation with him.

Who does she look down on? So what if her family has more money?

Zhong Qian really wanted to turn around and leave, but thinking of her father, who was trying so hard to get in touch with the Huo family, and how she could help him, she held back and finished speaking.

"Okay, thank you, Ms. Zhong Qian. If it really is the same person, I will thank you."

Upon hearing this, Huo Kai realized that the other person's words were indeed insightful and didn't directly state "definitely." It didn't seem like a deliberate attempt to strike up a conversation, so Huo Kai's attitude softened considerably, and he even gave a slight smile.

snort!

Zhong Qian wasn't particularly happy. She tossed her head, turned around, and walked back to the banquet hall with a blank expression.

"Did you hear me? Go to Gaoyang County to look for her." Huo Kai said to the bodyguard with annoyance. Had that Miss Zhong just given him a hard time?

Hey, that's a bit of a personality trait. I didn't think there was anything wrong with my attitude just now!

However, the Zhong family is considered a wealthy family in Jiang City, so it's normal for Miss Zhong to have a bit of a temper.

Huo Kai himself was a playboy and a rich second-generation, so he could understand the temperament of these young masters and ladies to some extent.

But he wouldn't bother to acknowledge it or offer any explanation.

Let's talk about it after we find the person!
