At 35, Jiang Xiaoli went wild skiing with friends, only to die in an avalanche. She woke up to find herself back at 16, a year when her beloved mother was still alive!
Given a second chance, ...
They chatted for a few more minutes, and then Xue Bin took out the blueprints and began to report the construction site situation to the two bosses.
"Complete ahead of schedule?" Xiao Jincheng said with surprise after hearing his estimate. "I just told Xiaolizi that it would probably be completed in May. Binzi, do you really think we can finish ahead of schedule?"
Xue Bin nodded. "Mr. Xiao, our 'Jinghua Center' is positioned as a high-end luxury shopping mall. The commercial space will house high-end brands. Even if we do the best basic renovations for the shops, they will still redecorate according to their own styles. We might as well use this cost as a promotional offer for attracting tenants. This way, we can save time, effort, and money."
Jiang Xiaoli showed a hint of approval, "Brother Xue, you haven't just been studying architecture for over a year, have you? That's a brilliant idea!"
Xue Bin touched his nose sheepishly, "I've seen a similar case before. I'm just repeating what others have said. Whether we can reach an agreement with the various brands depends on you two."
Xiao Jincheng pondered for a moment, "This can indeed allow us to start our investment promotion plan ahead of time, but I don't know if this large construction site can attract these high-end brands."
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "Uncle Xiao, you're overthinking it. Look at the location of our 'Jinghua Center'! If we spread the word and nobody inquires, I'll personally handle the leasing!"
"Hahaha!" Xiao Jincheng laughed heartily. "This project has been underway for so long, and the investment is so large, I'm really a bit unsure. Shall we just make a statement and see how it goes?"
"Hmm, let's give it a try." Jiang Xiaoli looked at the three office buildings connected together on the blueprint. "Uncle Xiao, what are your plans for the office buildings?"
Xiao Jincheng didn't think much of it. "Anyway, I definitely won't sell it. I'll keep a few floors for myself and rent the rest out. What? Do you have any other ideas?"
She chuckled, "I've been having a real headache finding office space lately, and the location and class of 'Jinghua Center' are simply unbeatable!"
Xiao Jincheng reached out and tapped her forehead. "Little Pear, if you need it, it's just a matter of saying the word!"
Jiang Xiaoli waved her hand, "Uncle Xiao, let's keep things separate. I'll have the person in charge of the subsidiary come and talk to you later."
"Okay, let your people pick a good floor first."
After having lunch with Xiao Jincheng, Jiang Xiaoli returned to the "Jiang's Building".
Li Anting was delighted to hear about the "Jinghua Center," but she hesitated, saying, "Chairman Jiang, that location is extremely scarce. Even if 'Jiang's Entertainment' streamlines some unnecessary spaces, it will still require a very large office area. Wouldn't moving there be a bit extravagant?"
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, the rent and the floor are negotiable."
Now Li Anting was relieved. "Chairman Jiang, Qiao Ru must be overjoyed!"
Jiang Xiaoli emphasized, "We still need to tell her not to be rash."
"Okay, I understand."
Zhong Yuan is the know-it-all of the "Jiang's Building". Jiang Xiaoli had been back in her office handling official business for less than an hour when he came looking for her.
"Little Pear, I heard that 'Jiang's Entertainment' is moving to 'Jinghua Center'?"
Jiang Xiaoli frowned slightly. "Brother Yuan, should I admire your excellent information network, or should I worry about my company's secrets being leaked?"
Zhong Yuan poured himself a cup of coffee in a familiar manner. "Don't get any wild ideas this time. Uncle Xiao told me about this."
"Uncle Xiao? When did you two become so close?"
"Tsk!" Zhong Yuan took a sip of coffee and complained, "Little Pear, you really only care about your group's subsidiaries, not the fate of 'Yu Jia Technology'? Did you forget that the 'Business System' also needs to find a place to relocate? I only found out about your preemptive strike by accidentally asking Uncle Xiao."
Jiang Xiaoli was a little embarrassed. "Hehe, this is really... um, my bad, my bad. Yuan-ge, do you like this coffee? My uncle gave it to me, why don't you take some with you?"
Zhong Yuan nodded proudly, "Seeing how sincere you are, I'll reluctantly take a little."
She pursed her lips and asked, "Can the 'Business System' hold out until next year? The 'Jinghua Center' won't be ready to move in until mid-March at the earliest."
"We'll just have to make do for now," Zhong Yuan shrugged, then said firmly, "Sooner or later, Yu Jia Technology will build its own office building, at least thirty stories high. I don't care for something like the Jiang's Building, which is only ten or so stories."
Jiang Xiaoli barely suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. "Brother Yuan, your face is really opportunistic."
"Hahaha!" Zhong Yuan laughed heartily. "There's nothing we can do, our strength is what it is. Little Pear, just wait for the day we rise to power!"
She gave a fake smile. "Then, Mr. Future Xiongqi, remember to tell your finance department to pay this year's rent first."
"Uh, it's expired already?"
Jiang Xiaoli gave him a reassuring look. "I've checked. The lease expires in September. Your company needs to sign a renewal contract with us one month in advance. If it expires, we have the right to raise the rent and charge late fees."
Zhong Yuan quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll go back and have the finance department renew your contract and pay the rent! Forget about the rent increase, and there won't be any late fees!"
She raised an eyebrow. "Brother Yuan, you'd better hurry up."
The next second, Zhong Yuan disappeared from her office.
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled softly, tapping her fingers lightly on the table as she made her plans.
After "Jiang's Entertainment" and "Business System" move out, three floors will be vacant. Once Ren Zhiyi and Chang Yue return from military training, the five of them can discuss the relocation of "307" again. This way, the remaining four floors will be much more spacious for the company.
Having planned everything, she leaned back in her office chair, stretched, and casually scrolled through the news pages of "Sohu World" with her mouse.
Yesterday, although the Hong Kong stock market in the securities sector did not drop much, it was still mostly in the green.
She couldn't help but sigh, "If only this red color were in the A-share market, it would be great. What a pity, it's all the opposite."
With that in mind, she logged into the account Jiang Ruilin had given her. Although she couldn't trade, she could directly see the Dow Jones futures positions that "Heaven Capital" was managing for her.
Even knowing how powerful "Heaven Capital" was, Jiang Xiaoli still couldn't help but exclaim "national treasure" when she saw the $23 million unrealized profit in her account.
When she withdrew her 500 million yuan investment from Hong Kong stocks last year, it had grown to a little over 1.6 billion yuan, but that amount was only about 200 million US dollars.
With an initial investment of 200 million yuan, and a floating profit of 23 million yuan in less than half a month, what else can Jiang Xiaoli say?
She could only shout in her heart, "Uncle is awesome!"
