Chapter 285: With Cullinan, life is no longer difficult

Qi Sheng is a bit busy recently, so please don't have too many people visit him.

Especially the major banks, all of them sent people at the level of bank presidents.

The purpose is self-evident, they are all eyeing his 3.78 billion in cash.

As for how it turned from 7.08 billion to 3.78 billion.

That’s of course because Qi Sheng has improved the looks of his girlfriends.

Tao Siyao, Pan Yinuo, Pei Yinyin, Lai Manling, Dong Bai.

Even Ping Cai Na was promoted to the level of a stunning girlfriend.

In addition, Qin Qingyi was also promoted to the level of a top girlfriend by Qi Sheng.

Although cash reserves dropped sharply to 3.78 billion.

But monthly income soared to 9.32 billion.

That small portion was naturally contributed by Tang Qian.

After this wave of improvement, Qi Sheng completely squeezed out the potential of the girlfriend group.

Even last year's richest man, Ma Yun, is far inferior to him.

Lao Ma’s net worth is supported by the stock market.

Not only is cashing out cumbersome, it is also easy to be exposed.

The system's rewards are varied.

Funds can be directly transferred to overseas accounts, making it convenient for Qisheng to operate remotely.

Qi Sheng received numerous invitations to various cocktail parties.

Not only banks, but also many well-informed venture capitalists came to him, wanting him to become an investor.

Looking at the domestic situation, people who can hold nearly 4 billion yuan in cash are rare.

"Boss, you have so much money. Instead of throwing it in a few big banks, why not give it to us, Goldstone Capital, to help manage it? We can at least give you a 20% return!"

Lu Fang was close to the water, so naturally he wanted to get the moon first.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry."

Qi Sheng smiled and waved his hand, signaling Lu Fang to wait.

"The funds can be given to you, but the maximum is 2 billion."

"Just 2 billion?"

Lu Fang was a little disappointed. She thought she could trick Qi Sheng into giving her all his money.

“It’s not a small amount.”

Qi Sheng smiled and shook his head, then asked, "How is the current valuation growth of the projects you invested in?"

"For the Pop Mart project alone, our DPI has more than tripled."

“The valuations of several other projects have also grown rapidly.”

“When all exit, the overall DPI will be at least 5 times higher!”

Lu Fang gave a detailed report and raised his mouth at the end.

"Boss, Shein, which I invested in earlier, is about to start its E round of financing. Should we follow suit?"

"Shein?"

Qi Sheng was a little surprised: "You have a good vision. Shein does have great potential. Their valuation will at least double in the next round of financing, right?"

"I talked to Mr. Xu from Shein. Their goal is a valuation of no less than 15 billion US dollars, which is three times the price we paid when we entered the D round!"

Lu Fang shook her head with emotion: "This price is a bit high, and there are many sovereign funds eyeing Shein. Our Jinshi Capital is too small to have the opportunity to continue to invest."

"We just need to make a small profit. Their model is easy to copy. Shein's valuation will plummet sooner or later."

Qi Sheng shook his head and chuckled, not really caring.

A valuation of hundreds of billions of US dollars is not so easy to achieve.

“When the valuation approaches $50 billion, we will sell our shares to other venture capitalists.”

"Based on the valuation when you entered, it has almost increased eight or nine times."

Qi Sheng remembers very clearly that Shein was targeted by Pinduoduo.

The valuation has dropped by almost half from 100 billion US dollars.

Since there is no chance to follow the investment, it is better to cash out in time while the price is high.

"By the way, what is Pinduoduo's current market value?"

Qi Sheng suddenly remembered that Pinduoduo’s stock price would triple this year.

The market value has exceeded 200 billion US dollars.

"It is currently close to 50 billion US dollars, almost double the amount when it was listed."

As an elite in the investment circle, Lu Fang is naturally very concerned about Pinduoduo, the rapidly growing e-commerce giant.

She was also quite surprised that the market value could grow so rapidly despite the siege by Alibaba and JD.com.

“The market value is less than 50 billion US dollars now?”

Qi Sheng's eyes lit up and he gave the order decisively.

"In addition to the 2 billion I promised you earlier, I will add another 5 billion next month, all of which will be used to invest heavily in Pinduoduo."

"If you wait until the end of the year and sell at the highest point, you will get at least 3 times the net profit."

7 billion, which is 1 billion US dollars.

Based on Pinduoduo's current stock price, the shareholding ratio is around 2%.

By the end of the year, Pinduoduo's market value reached 200 billion US dollars.

The net return will not be less than 3 billion US dollars.

Naturally, he couldn't miss such a good thing.

Anyway, Pinduoduo is listed on the US stock market.

He made his money from those venture capitalists and had no sense of guilt at all.

"So our top priority in the near future is to continue inspecting the project?"

Lu Fang accepted the order somewhat reluctantly, her tone unable to conceal her depression.

I didn’t expect the money to come, and it would squeeze the boss dry.

But its use was also specified by Qi Sheng.

"Next month, I will give you 150 million US dollars."

"For projects with an investment of less than 50 million US dollars, you can make the decision directly."

Qi Sheng thought that Lu Fang was able to discover Shein in time and successfully invest in this project, so he decided to increase her investment capital.

"Thank you, boss. I will definitely not let you down!"

Lu Fang was also very surprised. She didn't expect Qi Sheng to be so generous.

He directly gave her 150 million US dollars and let her invest it.

Many mid-sized venture capital firms are around this size.

What's more, Qi Sheng gave her enormous authority.

Projects with a total investment of less than US$50 million do not need to be reported to Qi Sheng.

She can make the decision directly.

Lu Fang was deeply touched by this trust.

"Okay, no need to say anything corny. When the Shein project is withdrawn, your bonus will definitely not be reduced."

Qi Sheng smiled and waved his hand. This was also the reward that Lu Fang won.

"Thank you, boss."

Lu Fang doesn't really care about the reward.

It will take at least two years before the Shein project is withdrawn.

During this period, how to make more money for Qi Sheng was what she cared about most.

…

In addition to investing heavily in Pinduoduo, Qi Sheng began to consider purchasing a new group headquarters building.

Shengxuan Financial Center seemed a bit too messy to Qi Sheng.

The actual office area only occupies half of the office building.

After the relocation of Shengxuan Group, the vacant office area was left for Pop Mart.

Some time ago, Si Kang asked Qi Sheng many times to expand the office space.

Lawang and Universe Entertainment both have separate office buildings.

The core of Zhuangyu Catering lies in the various stores of Zifei and Yutu.

The demand for office space is not very great.

Since the group headquarters is going to relocate, it certainly cannot move to a place worse than the current office building.

After all, Shengxuan Group is the head office and the face of Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng called Zhou Huaiping, waited for Qin Qingyi to pour him a cup of tea, and talked about this matter.

"Boss, what's your budget?"

Of course Zhou Huaiping was eager for Qi Sheng to purchase a new office building so that their property company would be able to manage more projects.

"Within 5 billion."

Including next month’s system rewards, Qi Sheng will have about 13.1 billion.

Deduct the funds invested in Pinduoduo and the US$150 million promised to Lu Fang.

At most, there will be about 5.1 billion left.

"Five billion?"

Zhou Huaiping's eyes widened and he swallowed saliva wildly.

It took him a long time to accept the shock.

With the land prices in Chengdu, basically super-grade A office buildings can be bought at will.

Zhou Huaiping thought seriously and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Boss, do you know the Twin Towers in the financial city?"

"The Twin Towers?"

Qi Sheng thought for a moment, "You mean the twin towers next to the Huashang Financial Center?"

"Yes, the two buildings are very close, only about 200 meters apart. They are both landmark buildings in the financial city."

"I saw that the financial city was still promoting that it would be completed in March and is expected to be put into use in October."

"However, I heard that the north tower of the twin towers will be sold as apartments and hotels, and the south tower will be rented as an office building but not sold."

"That depends on how you discuss it with them, boss."

Zhou Huaiping had previously seen the news that the twin towers were about to be completed, and had also fantasized that one day their Shengxuan Property would be able to move in.

They never expected that their boss would be able to afford to purchase this city landmark, super-grade A office building so quickly.

"Let me see..."

Qi Sheng searched for the twin towers of the financial city through the system.

The price for compulsory acquisition is only 5 billion.

"This price is just within my acceptable range."

Qi Sheng smiled and didn't bother himself.

I plan to take it down directly when the funds arrive at the beginning of next month.

With Shengxuan Group's development momentum, it is only a matter of time before it becomes a leading enterprise in Chengdu in the future.

The leading enterprise and the city landmark are quite a good match.

"Next month, I will withdraw funds to buy the Twin Towers."

"After it is officially put into use, it will be handed over to your Shengxuan Property Management Company to move in and manage."

Qi Sheng thought that in the future, he would definitely have more and more money.

Maybe just by buying buildings, Shengxuan Property could grow like a balloon.

"Ahem, Boss, would you consider another office building?"

Zhou Huaiping didn't expect that his boss would decide to buy the Twin Towers so quickly.

After all, it is an office building with a total value of nearly 5 billion yuan.

Why does it feel like buying a watch is as easy as buying one for Qi Sheng?

As the saying goes, monthly income buys a watch, annual income buys a car.

Qi Sheng earns 9.32 billion yuan a month, and he took out 5 billion yuan to buy a building for the group’s headquarters.

This makes sense, right? ...

When Zhou Huaiping left the chairman's office, the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than AK.

When Jie Chao saw this, he smiled and said hello: "Old Zhou, what good news makes you so happy?"

"Hey, our group's headquarters is moving. Guess where it's moving to?"

Zhou Huaiping did not hide it from Jie Chao.

Zhuangyu Catering will also move to the new office building along with the group headquarters.

"move?"

Jie Chao was a little confused: "I didn't get any notice from the boss?"

"It's still a long way to go before we move. I just got the news in advance. Don't spread it around."

Zhou Huaiping was not worried that Jie Chao would not keep his mouth shut, so he continued to keep the secret.

"Given our boss's personality, is it possible that the new headquarters building will be more than 20 square meters?"

Xie Chao knows Qi Sheng very well.

Since the decision has been made to relocate the headquarters, it will definitely be a big deal.

"No, keep guessing."

Zhou Huaiping smiled and shook his head.

"Fuck, you really can hold it in."

Jie Chao laughed and scolded: "3 billion?"

"continue."

Zhou Huaiping continued to shake his head.

"No... 4 billion?"

Jie Chao's voice was trembling.

This price is really a bit outrageous.

"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. The boss has his eyes on the twin towers in the financial city. The total price should be around 5 billion."

Zhou Huaiping patted Jie Chao's shoulder with a smile.

"I'm leaving now. Go report to your boss."

If only he knew about this big thing, he would probably suffocate to death.

With Jie Chao helping to share the burden, he felt much more relaxed.

"Tsk tsk, the boss is the boss, he is really awesome!"

Jie Chao shook his head with emotion and greeted Qin Qingyi outside.

"Secretary Qin, please let me know. I have something to report to the boss."

"Okay, Mr. Jie, wait a moment."

Qin Qingyi has just taken office as the chairman's secretary, and her work attitude is much better than those two old-timer predecessors.

With a formal position, who would still want to be a flight attendant?

Qi Sheng bought a hosting package directly from the business jet company.

Every time we travel, they will arrange flight attendants to serve us.

Except for being a little more expensive, the other differences are not much.

Soon, Qin Qingyi walked out of the chairman's office and nodded to Jie Chao with a smile.

"Boss Jie, you can come in now."

"OK."

Jie Chao did not dare to be careless and nodded politely to Qin Qingyi.

Although Qin Qingyi's position in the group is just a small secretary.

But that also depends on who is standing behind her.

Even though she was just a personal secretary, she was someone that the general managers of their subsidiaries dared not offend.

Don't be afraid of anything else, just in case someone whispers in your ear.

Their positions may not be secure anymore.

"sit."

Qi Sheng was looking at the documents and said without raising his head, "Qingyi, pour tea for Mr. Jie."

Jie Chao did not dare to disturb Qi Sheng and sat obediently opposite the desk.

He took the teacup respectfully with both hands and thanked Qin Qingyi politely.

"You're welcome, you guys chat."

Qin Qingyi left the office with a smile, already familiar with the duties of a secretary.

"Zhuangyu Catering is developing at a very fast pace. Zifei and Yutu now have 7 stores each. You have made an indelible contribution to this."

Qi Sheng was looking at the revenue data of Zhuangyu Catering. He raised his head and praised Li Chao with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment. This is what I should do."

Xie Chao breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was not criticized.

"However, this speed is still a bit slow."

Qi Sheng tapped the armrest of the boss's chair with his fingers.

"I will inject 200 million US dollars into Zhuangyu Catering in early March, and I will also provide you with all the talents."

"When the time comes, we can open 16 branches at once and have 30 stores in total. Is that okay?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"No problem. The investment cost for a branch in a second-tier city doesn't need to be too high. Counting the decoration and equipment, rent deposit, and operating budget, 30 million is enough."

When Jie Chao heard that the talents would be provided by the boss, he patted his chest and gave an affirmative answer.

"In this case, it would only cost 500 million to open a store, and the remaining 900 million could be invested in four more organic farms."

"You will personally lead the team to select locations and try your best to meet the food demand of Zhuangyu Catering and Lawang stores across the country."

Qi Sheng just saw the information of Zhuangyu Catering and invested in two organic farms.

The first phase of land acquisition and construction has been completed, costing 100 million yuan.

The investment budget for a single organic farm is about 150 million.

900 million is just enough for 7 organic farms.

For the huge number of Lawang stores.

Seven organic farms are just a drop in the bucket.

But at least, some of the fertilizer water will flow into one's own fields.

When the number of Lawang stores exceeds 500, an entire supply chain company can be spawned just from Lawang’s orders.

"Okay, I will take charge of this matter personally and report to you as soon as there is any progress."

Jie Chao is willing to expand his organic farm, but even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

The 200 million US dollars previously invested by Jinshi Capital was spent quickly.

Fortunately, the stores under their umbrella are doing very prosperous business.

This supports the subsequent expansion of stores and organic farms.

It is undoubtedly a pipe dream to open 20 branches and 7 organic farms at once relying solely on the cash flow of Zhuangyu Catering.

But with the big boss Qi Sheng investing money, things would be different.

"Boss, a lot of venture capitalists have contacted us recently, and the valuations they offered are not low. Do you want to accept their investment?"

Jie Chao was also doing this for Qi Sheng's own good. How could a company rely entirely on the boss for financial support?

Jinshi Capital is just an investment tool in Qi Sheng's hands.

The voting rights are all in Qi Sheng's hands. He is merely a financial investor and does not participate in the specific operations of the company.

Qi Sheng has the final say in the entire Zhuangyu Catering.

"We don't need it for now. The group has plenty of money and will not accept external financing in the short term."

Qi Sheng knew without asking that the valuation given by these venture capitalists was definitely not high.

Wait until the organic farm is built and get the order from Lawang.

This is the best time to accept external financing.

"Then I'll listen to you."

When Jie Chao heard that "the group has plenty of money", he did not question it at all.

Just spending 5 billion to buy a building is enough to show Qi Sheng's strength.

With the strength of our boss, I am afraid he can rival some top venture capital firms.

After chatting for a while, Jie Chao planned to get up and leave.

Suddenly I remembered something and patted my forehead.

"Boss, look at my memory. Mayor Liu of Longxing Town asked me to contact you."

"The province has already prepared the certificate for outstanding entrepreneurs. You can go get it when you have time."

“Outstanding entrepreneur?”

Qi Sheng smiled and shook his head: "I think he is thinking about our second phase of investment."

"Hey, I think that's what it means."

Jie Chao had dealt with Longxing Town quite a few times, so he naturally knew what they were worried about.

With Qi Sheng's current net worth, a small organic farm project would not even be worth his attention.

Even the importance of Zhuangyu Catering ranks behind Lawang, Banyan Tree Group and Universe Entertainment.

It is only slightly better than Pop Mart, Shengxuan Decoration and Shengxuan Property.

"Tell him that the investment I promised will not be reduced by a penny."

“By the end of March at the latest, the second phase of investment will be received.”

Qi Sheng didn't care about a false reputation, it was just a spur of the moment thing.

His current net worth on paper has exceeded 100 billion.

Not to mention the honor of being an outstanding entrepreneur in the province.

He deserves the title of National People's Congress representative.

"Okay, I'll pass it on for you."

Jie Chao smiled and nodded, knowing that his boss would not take this false reputation seriously.

But as a boss, once I have made a promise, I will never go back on my word.

…

After Jie Chao left, Qi Sheng stood up and stretched his muscles.

Walking to the floor-to-ceiling window, he could see the whole Chengdu.

“The view is good, but the floor is a bit low.”

Qi Sheng admired the beautiful scenery of the skyline and turned his gaze away from the distance.

For ordinary people, this is already an unimaginable height.

But for Qi Sheng, it was still a little lacking.

If we really talk about the view, the presidential suite on the top floor is much better than his chairman's office.

The scenery you see will naturally be different at different altitudes.

After a busy day today, it's necessary to relax in the evening.

But among the girlfriends currently in Chengdu, only a few who are from the local area can come out.

The rest of those who live outside the city have already returned home early to be with their families.

When Qin Qingyi saw Qi Sheng walking out of the office, her eyes suddenly lit up and she stood up from her seat.

"Chairman, are you going to leave work now?"

"Well, you should get off work too."

Qi Sheng smiled and nodded, quite satisfied with Qin Qingyi's performance.

To put it bluntly, there is no difference between the work content of a secretary and a flight attendant.

In essence, it’s all about serving good people.

It’s just that the flight attendants serve a lot of people.

As a secretary, all you need to do is serve your boss well.

See Qi Sheng leaving the company with his new secretary.

The employees on this floor all had different expressions.

All the women envied Qin Qingyi for being favored by the super rich Qi Sheng and having a chance to make it big.

All the men envy Qi Sheng for having a beautiful secretary like Qin Qingyi.

Is there any doubt about what will happen between the boss and the female secretary?

Mr. Qi’s daily life can be described as their dream.

The women around him are all top-notch, and there are even some stunning beauties.

…

And Mr. Qi, whom they envied, was just as they thought.

He drove the extended version of the Range Rover Legacy customized by Maybach and took Qin Qingyi out for a Western meal.

Although I have my own restaurant, I would get bored if I always eat the same two types of cuisine.

What's more, there is no girl who doesn't like Western food.

Qin Qingyi enjoys her current life very much.

One million pocket money every month is simply not enough to spend.

Even the car was a customized Maybach Range Rover chosen for her by Qi Sheng.

The landing price is about 3 million.

As for the house, Qi Sheng also gave her money and let her choose one herself.

Houses in Chengdu are not expensive.

Even the high-end residential complex that the sisters bought only cost about 10 million.

With her current pocket money, she can buy one set in a year.

"Hubby, I'll buy a house in Zhongda Wenrude as well, just in time to keep Qingqingchu and the others company."

Qin Qingyi was cutting steak and reporting her results to Qi Sheng.

"oh?"

Qi Sheng raised his eyebrows and joked with a smile: "Why did you choose that? Is it convenient for me to steal your beauty?"

"I live alone, and I'm afraid you don't have the time to think about me."

Qin Qingyi is very smart and knows that she is the last one to join.

In terms of status, she is not as good as Tang Qian.

At the very least, Tang Qian is coquettish, has a lot of fun, and is very favored.

She couldn't do what Tang Qian did, so naturally she had to find a way to appear in front of Qi Sheng as much as possible.

Living upstairs and downstairs with Qingqingchu and the others is undoubtedly the best choice.

"That's not the case."

Qi Sheng said this, but in his heart he looked up to Qin Qingyi.

A sensible woman is naturally more likable.

The two were eating and chatting when Qi Sheng's phone suddenly rang.

"Hubby, it's Sister Liu Rong."

Qin Qingyi glanced at the caller notes, answered the phone and handed it to Qi Sheng.

"It's me, what's wrong?"

Qi Sheng wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue and took a sip of red wine.

"Honey, are you free now?"

Liu Rong's tone was a little conflicted as she asked cautiously.

"It's convenient. Qingyi and I are the only ones here. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

"It's like this, Tang Xu came to see me again, and I didn't want to bother with him at first."

"But he knelt downstairs of my house and told me to forgive him this time and never show up in front of us again."

"I wonder if I can give him a chance and let him leave Chengdu."

Liu Rong was afraid that Qi Sheng would think that she still had feelings for Tang Xu, so she quickly added.

"Hubby, I swear, I'm only doing this for Guoguo's sake. I have absolutely no intention of getting back together with him!"

"Look how nervous you are. I almost forgot about him."

"Well, I'll come over later and stay at your place tonight."

Qi Sheng had indeed forgotten about Tang Xu and just asked Gu Feng to send someone to take care of Tang Xu.

There are female bodyguards providing 24-hour personal protection.

Qi Sheng was not worried that Tang Xu would be desperate and hurt Liu Rong.

Even if the other party had the courage to do so, he would not kneel in front of Liu Rong.

"Hubby, Sister Liu Rong wants to see you about something?"

Qin Qingyi's eyes were somewhat resentful.

She had originally planned to go home with Qi Sheng in the evening, put on her newly bought QQ uniform, and squeeze Qi Sheng hard.

Judging from what Qi Sheng said just now, he might not have time to accompany her in the evening.

"She has something urgent to deal with. I'll go over and take care of it."

Qi Sheng looked at his watch and called the waiter to pay the bill.

"After you finish eating, let the bodyguard take you home."

"You don't have to worry about me. I'm safe with the people you arranged."

Qin Qingyi would not be dissatisfied with Qi Sheng because of this little neglect.

"Be good, I'll accompany you tomorrow and make sure you can't go to the company the next day."

Before Qi Sheng left, he smiled and put his arm around Qin Qingyi's waist.

He bit Qin Qingyi's carefully painted red lips.

"Ugh...disgusting."

Qin Qingyi was kissed by Qi Sheng until her whole body went limp, and she hugged Qi Sheng's neck with seductive eyes.

"Forget it. Seeing you like this, you'll have to solve it yourself when you get back. I'll just send you off to the west."

Qi Sheng pulled Qin Qingyi out of the restaurant.

After getting in the car, he told Gu Feng to drive to a secluded place.

Gu Feng quickly drove the Land Rover Range Rover to a relatively hidden parking lot under an apartment building.

Once you park your car, lower the windows a little to allow for air circulation.

Gu Feng got out of the car and stood guard around the Range Rover, not too far away.

It wasn't long before the Range Rover's shock absorbers began to suffer.

The car body was shaking constantly.

Occasionally, people would park their cars and see bodyguards in black standing guard next to their Range Rover.

I didn't dare to get close, but my eyes were full of envy.

With a luxury car like this and bodyguards following him, there must be a beautiful woman inside.

There was even a guy who was so bored that he didn't want to go home.

I lit a cigarette and watched from a distance.

I smoked almost a pack of cigarettes and two hours passed.

The Range Rover didn't stop until his legs were numb from standing.

"Fuck you, is this a human being?"

The brother was a little dumbfounded, looking at the tall man getting off the Range Rover and a tall beauty with messy hair and blushing face.

The black stockings on her legs showed signs of being torn.

"Fuck, I'm so jealous of the happiness of rich people!"

The brother thought of his wife at home who weighed almost 150 pounds.

Look at the tall beauty opposite who weighs less than 110 pounds.

Both her face and figure are exquisite.

If it happened to him once, I'd be willing to shorten his life by 10 years.

Not long after, a Cullinan drove into the basement.

Another bodyguard in black got out of the car and respectfully opened the back door.

The tall man hugged the beautiful woman with a rosy face, got into the car, and drove away in Cullinan.

"No wonder he can get such a beautiful girl, it turns out he has a Cullinan!"

The brother sighed and took out his cigarette box, but there was not a single cigarette left.

"Damn it, my pocket is the only thing that's in trouble!"

However, there is the scene just now.

The brother threw away the cigarette box and prepared to vent his anger on his wife at home that night.

As long as I think about that beautiful woman, it won't be the same even if I turn off the lights? (End of this chapter)
