Chapter 77 Investment
Before Yang Liang asked Lu Ge to meet, Lin Anran first revealed to him that she knew Lu Ge. Compared with Lu Ge, Lin Anran had a closer relationship with Yang Liang, her second cousin. She couldn't really wait until Lu Ge appeared in front of them before she told him this.
Yang Liang was very surprised: "An Ran, do you know Lao Lu?"
"I hired the decorators from Brother Lu's company to renovate my house." Lin Anran gave an explanation.
Yang Liang immediately understood: "So that's how it is. An Ran, have you finished renovating your house? Do you need our help?"
Lin Anran: "No, there's still some to go." The ten houses that were bought later have been simply decorated, and the only one left is the Jinyuan Villa. The decoration of the villa will take a long time, and it will take another two or three months to be completed.
After Lin Anran and Yang Liang discussed it, they found a time when everyone was free and made an appointment to meet at a teahouse. Brother Lu was not surprised to see Lin Anran, as he had heard Yang Liang mention him before he came.
As soon as he saw him, Brother Lu smiled warmly and said, "Boss Lin, what a coincidence! It turns out we all know each other. We're all family."
Lin Anran smiled at Brother Lu. "What a coincidence indeed, Boss Lu. I didn't expect you and my second cousin to have such a good relationship. It's fate."
She also said politely that everyone gathered here today to discuss cooperation, so after some greetings, the atmosphere was very harmonious. After everyone drank some tea, they began to get down to business.
The company opened by Brother Lu is related to real estate. He has been working in Shenzhen for several years and has accumulated a lot of connections. Almost all the bosses he knows have gone to Qiongzhou to set up companies, so he also learned about the real estate news in Qiongzhou through his personal connections. It can be said that real estate is the hottest market in Qiongzhou.
"Thousands of real estate companies have been established in Qiongzhou in such a short period of time. New real estate companies are opening every day. The earliest bosses who entered the market have already started to make money." Brother Lu sighed deeply, his face showing a bit of anxiety and envy. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he was already trembling with fear when he heard the little news revealed by his peers. The money earned was like that printed by a money printing machine, and then there was desire and excitement.
Brother Lu doesn't have much money, but he really trusts his good brother Yang Liang. Their friendship is closer than that of brothers. He feels at ease letting Yang Liang go to Qiongzhou to look after the company. He still has to take care of the Shenzhen company and cannot move all the company's money away. The company built in Shenzhen is the result of his years of hard work. If the company in Qiongzhou loses money, he can still make money in Shenzhen and stand up again.
Brother Lu knew that Lin Anran was rich, so he came to see her. He has been trying to recruit partners recently. The more partners he has, the more he can share the risk.
Although Lin Anran is not like Brother Lu who can know the latest news of the Qiongzhou real estate market in real time, it doesn't matter. She has a plug-in and she can use her money ability. Whoever gives money is the boss. She invests money, and with Yang Liang's side, her say will not be small.
Brother Lu listened to Lin Anran's clear and logical talk, and was glad that he came today. He firmly believed that Boss Lin must have known some internal secret information through some channels. Some of the information he didn't even know, but Boss Lin actually said it out casually. Whether it was true or not, he could confirm it by asking later. There was no need for Boss Lin to make up stories.
This meeting was just a preliminary contact. Whether the cooperation was confirmed or not still needed to be discussed. Lin Anran was not in a hurry. Although she wanted to make a fortune by taking advantage of this great opportunity, her main goal was not to open a real estate company. She had a lot of things to do at home. She positioned herself as an investor, and she had to be well-informed so that she could get the money back next year.
"An Ran, are you really going to invest one million?" After sending away the delighted Brother Lu, Yang Liang and his second cousin's wife showed worried expressions.
Lin Anran nodded: "I plan to invest this amount at the moment, but I don't rule out increasing the investment amount later."
Yang Liang and the others were stunned. Wasn't one million the final investment amount? How rich was their cousin? It was as if one million wasn't one million, but a hundred yuan.
Yang Liang and the other man looked at Lin Anran, their expressions as if they wanted to say something but hesitated. They didn't know why Lin Anran could come up with one million so easily, and they couldn't help but feel worried about her.
"An Ran, you didn't borrow money from the bank, did you?" Yang Liang asked hesitantly. He remembered that An Ran had borrowed hundreds of thousands of yuan from the bank before.
Lin Anran said with a smile: "No."
So, hiding her sudden wealth would only lead to minor troubles like the one she's having now. If both the Lin and Yang families had become wealthy, and everyone was rich, why would she need to hide it? Lin Anran desperately hoped that her mother, Lin, would lead both families to start businesses and become wealthy, and that Yang Liang and the other Yang family members who had moved from the village to Shenzhen could also take advantage of this great opportunity to become wealthy, so that everyone could become rich together and have money!
But now, Lin Anran could only take out the outdated newspaper she brought with her, point at the orchid on it and reveal some information related to her.
Very good, Yang Liang and his wife suddenly turned into two shocked idiots, making Lin Anran seem to be back to the day when she took Lin Anli and Lin Anhua to Mingyuan Villa.
After an unknown amount of time, Yang Liang and his wife finally regained their composure, but in fact, they were not very calm.
"...Anran, you revealed this and I really don't know what to say." The second cousin's wife spoke first. The second cousin's wife and Lin Anran's sister-in-law, Lv Xiaoye, are from the same village. Her name is Lv Hong. Before following Yang Liang to Shenzhen, Lv Hong had been a math teacher in the village primary school. Now she is in charge of the construction team's account books, so she is more sensitive to the number of one million than Yang Liang.
One million, a number that Lu Hong couldn't even imagine. After the first project was settled and everyone's salary was distributed, she thought that the money she and Yang Liang had earned was already a lot. Unexpectedly, there is always someone better.
"Cousin, you are the God of Wealth!" Yang Liang came back to his senses and howled.
“…Ah? God of Wealth? Me?” Lin Anran pointed at himself.
Yang Liang nodded: "Yes, you are the God of Wealth!"
Lv Hong also nodded: "An Ran, you really are like the God of Wealth descending to earth."
Seeing that Yang Liang and Lu Hong really thought so, Lin Anran was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that these two were a bit superstitious.
"Okay, just wait for the God of Wealth Lin to help you make money." Seeing that he couldn't correct it, Lin Anran simply acted like a middle school student and said it with a smile.
Yang Liang and Lu Hong were suddenly very excited. With the God of Wealth protecting them, if they didn't make money, who would?
It just so happened that the second project of Yang Liang and his construction team was about to be completed, and Lu Ge had also found someone. Seeing this, Lin Anran transferred the money, and then Lu Ge and Yang Liang quickly set off for Qiongzhou. This new company had Yang Liang, Lu Hong and other people, so Lin Anran did not follow them to Qiongzhou. She could not give up her career. She could afford to lose one million.
Besides, she won't necessarily lose money. The character of the Yang family is guaranteed, so she is still optimistic about Yang Liang and Lu Hong.
But Lin Anran didn't expect to receive a call from Lin's mother. What Lin's mother was concerned about was Lin Anran's investment. One million, that made her heart hang in the air just by hearing it. But Lin's mother is now a person who started a business from scratch and made money. Her mentality is different from before. She didn't object to Lin Anran's investment, but she was worried that the investment was too large and she was afraid that he would lose it all in the end.
"Don't worry, I'm watching." This was Lin Anran's first time as an investor, and she wasn't sure what the final outcome would be. Even if she knew the future, she couldn't control how others would act. If Yang Liang and Lu Hong weren't among them, she definitely wouldn't invest in Lu Ge's newly built real estate company. When investing, one must not only look at the investment project, but also whether the person in charge of the company she invested in is reliable.
This is what Lin Anran asked Zhou Heyuan about. When Zhou Heyuan invests, he first considers whether the person is worthy of investment, and then whether the project has investment value and prospects. Of course, Zhou Heyuan's company also has a bunch of employees who analyze and integrate various data for him, and finally it is up to him to decide whether to invest. Everything reveals professionalism and reliability.
Lin Anran's investment is purely a makeshift team, and it seems more like following the trend.
Mother Lin said to Lin Anran, "Your uncle and the others know about this. They haven't dared to sleep these days, worried that Yang Liang and the others will lose your money. By the way, only your uncle and a few other elders know that you make money selling orchids, as well as your cousin. You haven't told anyone else. Let's see how long you can keep it a secret." More and more people know that her daughter is rich. Mother Lin knew from the beginning that she couldn't keep it a secret for long. She had to make more money quickly, otherwise everyone would target her daughter.
Lin Anran knew that Yang Liang and the others would contact the Yang family every once in a while, so she was not surprised that Uncle Yang knew about her affairs. Rather, she had already expected it. She did not ask Yang Liang and Lu Hong to keep it a secret. Anyway, she would not be returning to Lin Village in the short term, and the Lin and Yang families were not easy to mess with.
"My uncle and the others are overthinking it. If they really lost money, you can't blame my second cousin and the others. I told them what to do. If there is any loss, it was my own money." Lin Anran didn't want the elders of the Yang family to worry about her. Uncle Yang and the others were not young anymore.
But Lin's mother said, "That's different. It's so much money."
Lin Anran had no choice because her mother was also worried, but she didn't say it.
"Don't worry about things at home. I plan to talk to your uncle and others about expanding production. Our towels are selling very well. When we get busy, we will be too tired to think about these things." Mother Lin has her own way.
Mother Lin asked again, "An Ran, how is An Li doing? Can she keep up? And An Hua, has Master Hao, the one he mentioned, accepted him as an apprentice?"
"Anli has been studying hard since she was in the first year of high school. Now she has found a learning method that suits her and can keep up with the studies. I found a lot of test papers for her, and her accuracy rate in answering the questions is getting higher and higher. Anhua has performed well in the restaurant, but she has not yet impressed Master Hao." Lin Anran said simply.
Mother Lin smiled. "Okay, okay, let Anhua work hard. If Master Hao doesn't accept him, it means Anhua is not in Master Hao's eyes yet. His temper needs to be tempered."
Lin Anhua was on holiday when he brought the surprising news that he had been accepted as Master Hao's apprentice: "Sister! Master Hao accepted me as his apprentice. I've been peeling radishes all day today, hehehe!"
Lin Anran was puzzled, then something occurred to her and she asked, "Master Hao asked you to practice swordsmanship?"
"Yes, yes, yes, senior brothers and sisters started practicing with knife skills from the very beginning. They are so amazing that they can even cut tofu as thin as hair!" Lin Anhua chattered excitedly.
After he finished talking, Lin Anran congratulated him and asked, "Why did Master Hao accept you as his apprentice?" Last time, Lin Anhua said that there was no progress at all.
"It must be my persistence for so long that impressed Master Hao, so Master Hao accepted me!" Lin Anhua said happily, with a confident look on his face.
Lin Anran blinked: "That's it?"
Lin Anhua: “Everyone says so.”
"Really?" Lin Anran didn't intend to get to the bottom of it. No matter what, Lin Anhua was Master Hao's apprentice. "We have to celebrate today."
"Then let me show you my knife skills for peeling radishes that I've practiced all day!" Lin Anhua rubbed his hands, eager to try and show off.
Lin Anran swallowed the thought of "Let's go out for a nice meal" and said, "Okay."
How is Lin Anhua's knife skills? Just so-so, after all, he's only been practicing for a day.
Lin Anran gave her assessment to the eagerly looking Lin Anhua: "There's a lot of room for improvement."
Lin Anhua was very happy as long as it was praise, and then he went to Guangming Hotel in high spirits to continue practicing his knife skills.
Everyone has made progress in their studies and careers, and Lin Anran is no exception.
The aloe vera gel she had given away had received great feedback, with people who had used it coming back to ask her if she was selling it. They were willing to pay for it!
