Chapter 36 How to spend the next 100 million
Hao Heshan's eyes lit up, then he calmed down. Where in the world could such a kind-hearted boss be found? He ran a company, not a charity. Giving him such good equipment so that he could have time to research things outside of work was a bit too much.
He asked seriously, "Do I have a lot of regular work, so much that I can't finish it even if I work overtime?"
Lin Ruoyan felt that Hao Heshan was indeed a top student with exceptional intelligence, and that she couldn't fool him with a few words. She honestly described the current work of the company's information department: "My real estate company only has one project. I need to create an official website to promote the company and this project. In addition, the company also needs an intranet, and preferably an OA system to popularize paperless office processes."
"OA system?" Hao Heshan finally looked the beautiful woman in the eye. In the book, OA office systems were still a new concept in China. When he had previously interviewed at that large state-owned enterprise, he had mentioned the international trend of paperless offices to his supervisor, but the supervisor had said that wouldn't that require all leaders to know how to use a computer? Computers were easy to buy, but training leaders was difficult, so he changed the subject.
He was very disappointed at the time. Now this private real estate company is actually going to promote OA?
"Yes, our company plans to use a full set of genuine operating systems and office software. We will also be mandatorily promoting the OA system. This won't just be installed on PCs. Smartphones will definitely be the mainstream in the future. Mobile phones can also be used as terminals for personal daily affairs, just like computers. OA office software can also be used on mobile phones, making data interoperability and more convenient to use. These R&D tasks also need to be completed by the Information Department."
Lin Ruoyan referred to the common sense of the real world and spoke calmly about the future trends. After all, this kind of office model will be popular among all types of enterprises in a dozen years. It is not surprising that real estate companies will also use the online OA approval process.
However, the office model described by Lin Ruoyan is almost non-existent in China at this time. Large foreign-funded enterprises may only see some rudimentary forms, with more communication via email.
When the Internet and computer office work were not yet popular in China, the leader who could say these words was definitely far-sighted. Isn't this exactly what Hao Heshan had in mind at the time?
He not only believed that OA systems would become the mainstream trend in corporate office work, but also agreed that smartphones would eventually take on the functions of PCs. He had assumed that only those in the industry knew this, but he hadn't expected this young woman in real estate to be so insightful and to have such advanced foresight into the development of the internet and electronic devices. This impressed Hao Heshan and impressed him with new perspectives.
Of course, geniuses are a bit arrogant. It is impossible for him to agree to work in that company immediately after just meeting her today. He plans to inquire about it from all aspects first to make sure that this company is really as Lin Ruoyan said, and has enough strength to give him a broad space to display his talents. It will not be too late for him to join then.
Lin Ruoyan wouldn't push Hao Heshan to go to her company right away. After all, he had great ambitions and might have an emotional entanglement with Li Yiqi in the future. If Hao Heshan didn't want to, she wouldn't force him.
Hao Heshan left the street and hurried back to his rented apartment, where he turned on his computer to search for information. At the time, various portals could only provide a few pieces of information, but there was no such convenient online search functionality as in later generations, allowing one to investigate a company's strength and background. He could only use chat tools or post on forums, asking friends online for information.
He used the same method to sell CDs, find work building websites, and help with computer installation, casting a wide net. These groups and forums were a mixed bag, with all sorts of people present, and information flowed quickly. He only needed to leave a simple message with a question, and someone would respond within moments. However, he still had to verify the authenticity of the information by looking up relevant data.
After sending the message, he continued working on his research. That evening, he casually glanced at his post and saw someone had actually replied. They said the Lin Real Estate Company was incredibly wealthy and had just recently acquired a plot of land in Beijing's CY District for a residential project at a high price of 80 million yuan, vowing to build the city's premier luxury residential development.
The relevant content reports also occupied a certain amount of space in the newspaper. He went to the newsstand outside to borrow some old newspapers to read the news. It clearly stated in black and white that Lin's Real Estate was run by a beautiful female boss, and her name was exactly the same as the one on the business card.
A company that can spend 80 million to buy land must be much stronger than the Internet cafe on the next street. Even if he works as a network administrator in that company, he can get high-end equipment, which is definitely better than the equipment made up of junk parts in his rental house.
Boss Lin personally promised him that kind of treatment and freedom, and mentioned advanced ideas, which made Hao Heshan no longer hesitate and decided to go to the company according to the address written on the business card tomorrow.
After touring the courtyard, Lin Ruoyan noticed a promising business atmosphere and considered converting the north side of the street into a cafe. Then she thought, "I only have seven months left to live. How much trouble would running a cafe be?" Besides, no matter how much money I spend, it's unlikely to make any money. So, forget it.
So how should we spend the 100 million this month? The design plan certainly won't be ready in a month, but the consulting and design contracts will definitely be signed this month, and then the 30% down payment will be paid out. Labor costs and the current renovation costs for the courtyard house are just a drop in the bucket. How can we possibly raise hundreds of millions of yuan with all this?
You must find a mainstay outlet for large-scale spending to get through this month.
She couldn't help but start thinking again, thinking about what project or thing to invest in.
Buy some stocks? The market in the book was currently in a state of decline, the Lin Group wasn't listed, and her brother himself didn't buy stocks. If she spent money on that, the Spendthrift System would certainly approve, but her brother would definitely stop her. If she insisted on going her own way, the trust she had just built with her brother would be shattered. To ensure she could spend freely in the future, she couldn't do anything that her brother disapproved of.
How about buying a few more houses? These days, there are so few good, high-quality homes. The ones that will be worth tens of millions a decade from now haven't even been built yet. The large villa complex where she lives is of better quality, but unfortunately, there are no units available. Siheyuans are also hard to come by, so you can't put all your eggs in one basket. If you do buy, you definitely won't buy something for a few million. Why not look at whole commercial buildings that cost tens of millions?
After much deliberation, she decided to talk to Wei Xu. She could invest in film and television projects, or even acquire his agency. That way, the money would definitely be spent properly, and she could also keep her original management team, saving time and effort.
This was Lin Ruoyan's true plan, but when she told the prodigal system, she discounted it and made some modifications.
Upon hearing that the host had finally returned to the main plot of the vicious female supporting character and was planning to find Wei Xu to chat with, the prodigal system quickly suggested: "Host, why not invite Wei Xu to a five-star hotel tonight for an intimate dinner in a private room, or something like that? After dinner, you can do a full-service activity, such as swimming, spa treatments, massages with the opposite sex, and finally a suite for rest. Everything will be smooth sailing..."
Lin Ruoyan thought that eating and chatting were definitely necessary, and she didn't need anyone else to lead the way. After all, she needed to ask Wei Xu for advice on things she didn't understand, so the fewer people who knew about it, the better. As for whether or not to do a one-stop service later, and what the content would be, that wasn't something the system could control.
