Chapter 211
They never thought that they could earn a lot of profit by just buying a house, paying off the mortgage, and then renting out the house.
Jiang Meishu said as a matter of course, "It has always been like this since ancient times."
Seeing Jiang Meilan looking at her with some doubt, clearly suspecting her, Jiang Meishu feigned composure. "You've forgotten, when we were in the capital, the rent for a tenement house was eight yuan a month. The other party might have actually rented it for three yuan, and then sublet it for more than double that."
Jiang Meilan then remembered this incident and suppressed her previous doubts. For a moment, she even wondered if her sister had also been reborn.
After all, only people in the future will know whether buying a property can make money.
After Jiang Meishu's explanation, Jiang Meilan simply thought she had finally gotten the hang of it. Even in her past life, many smart people had become wealthy through real estate.
"but."
Jiang Meishu hesitated. "I think since everyone wants to buy a house, outsourcing the renovation work to someone else is really inconvenient."
"Why don't we set up our own renovation team? We can serve ourselves normally and take on jobs when we have time."
After careful consideration, she spoke cautiously, "As I've watched the Hong Kong property market develop, I have a feeling this wave of growth will spread to mainland China as well."
"It's like the radio, wide-leg pants, and mirrors that are popular in Hong Kong."
After hearing this, Jiang Meilan suddenly looked up at her with some disbelief. She was surprised at her sister's keen insight into the future.
She murmured, "I will."
Because she was once a witness to history.
Jiang Meishu breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"Let's discuss this together."
Jiang Meilan: "Just use the original crew?"
Li Wenjuan, "I think this alone is not enough. They lack a leader here, and Master Yao doesn't have the ability to control the situation."
The main reason is that Master Yao is too honest and he can't control others.
"Do you have anyone suitable to recommend?"
Jiang Meishu asked.
"You want me to go back and look for it."
“It’s not that easy.”
Jiang Meishu said, "It's okay. I'll just put it on the agenda first. If you have a suitable candidate, please recommend him and we can work together to fill the gaps."
Qiao Jiahui wasn't interested in any of this. He just lazily said, "If you're short of money, just tell me. I'll definitely invest."
Ever since Hongtai's orders exploded, Qiao Jiahui has never been short of money. Although he was short of money before, it was different. He used to need his father's approval to use money, but now he doesn't need that. If he wants to invest, he can arrange it with just a wave of his hand.
Jiang Meishu's mouth twitched when she heard this, "I know you're definitely indispensable for investment."
She took a notebook and started writing and drawing, "What do I need to form a decoration team?"
She asked herself and answered, "First, there is the designer of the design drawings, and second, there are the decorators, plumbers, electricians, masons, and carpenters. All of these are necessary."
"Do you have anything else to add?"
Qiao Jiahui next to him shook his head, "I'm not too sure about this."
"Let's hire a painter," Jiang Meilan said. "I went to see the renovation of your house. The paint wasn't applied very well. A lot of it is uneven, which makes it look unsightly."
Jiang Meishu wrote down the painter's name and asked, "We're in need of a professional painter. Are there any more?"
Li Wenjuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's find an accountant."
"Having an accountant working inside will make things more efficient."
Of course, this was the conclusion she came to after becoming the factory manager herself.
Jiang Meishu, "I'll add it in."
"That's basically it."
She summarized the situation and said, "We will start looking for talents in this field when we return. Among them, decoration masters are the easiest to find."
Whether it is Guangzhou or Shenzhen, these two cities are newly established, and what they lack the least is this kind of grassroots people.
There is no other way. The lower class people have to leave their homes in order to survive.
As for those professional designers, Jiang Meishu began to have a headache. "Do you have any good recommendations?"
Li Wenjuan was familiar with the route and said, "Go find the college students there."
Seeing everyone looking at her, she coughed lightly and said, "My clothing factory is the best in Guangzhou. Every time I make a hit piece of clothing, it's because I find college students from Hong Kong University to make designs for me."
"This means that more than half of the design students at Hong Kong University work for me. Under such conditions, how can the garment factories around me compete with me?"
It's completely unbeatable.
Because the talents of both sides are different.
She was way ahead.
Jiang Meishu's eyes lit up, "Sister Wenjuan, do you have any recommendations?"
"Yes, I have."
Li Wenjuan smiled and said, "The building next to the fashion design department is the architectural design department." When she said this, she was stunned. "It seems that it doesn't match what you need?"
Fashion design is at least a relevant major, but architectural design and decoration design are obviously different.
Jiang Meishu, "No major in interior design?"
“Not at the moment.”
Jiang Meishu pondered for a moment, "Then the students who specialize in interior design can also do it. However, we need to let them come and see the actual house first. After they have seen the house layout, we can then design the interior design."
"Can."
Li Wenjuan said, "Leave this to me."
"Then leave the renovation team to me. I'll talk to Master Yao and the others."
Li Wenjuan nodded.
The two sides worked very quickly. Li Wenjuan went to Xiangjiang University, and Jiang Meishu found Master Yao and asked them, "Master Yao, we want to set up a decoration company here and would like to invite you to come and work. Are you willing?"
Master Yao was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Meishu smiled slightly, "It's just that I see that everyone often doesn't get work. This is not a big deal. I also know that everyone has to support their families."
"After discussing with my friends, we decided to set up a decoration company. We will invite you to work and pay you according to the number of days you work."
"In addition, we will provide food and accommodation."
"I wonder if you would like to?"
As soon as Jiang Meishu finished speaking, Master Yao subconsciously said, "Of course I'm willing." People like them who do hard labor may not be able to receive orders every day. Generally speaking, being able to work fifteen days in a month is already very good.
I spent the rest of the time playing cards in the dormitory.
"But after we go to work for you, can you guarantee that we will always have jobs?"
Master Yao asked cautiously.
At their age, with elderly parents and young children to support, they definitely hope to have a more stable job so that they can earn enough money to make a living.
"I can't guarantee it 100%." Jiang Meishu said calmly, "But I will try my best to provide a job."
With this in mind, Master Yao was willing to do it. He said on the spot, "I am willing to follow you."
He also worked under Jiang Meishu for six months and found that Jiang Meishu was a kind person, so he thought it would be a good idea to follow her.
As soon as Master Yao expressed his intention, the other seven or eight people followed suit. However, in the end, three brothers looked at each other and shook their heads, "Boss Jiang, we still want to do it ourselves."
Jiang Meishu naturally wouldn't force them, "Of course."
As soon as the three Huang brothers finished speaking, the others hesitated for a bit. Among their decoration team, the three Huang brothers were considered to be more opinionated.
Jiang Meishu naturally saw something, and she smiled, "Everyone is free to come and go, I won't stop you."
"But when our company has projects in the future, we will definitely give priority to our own people."
Upon hearing this, Master Yao immediately grabbed the hesitant brother's hand and said, "Why are you still hesitating? Apart from anything else, Boss Jiang is willing to provide three meals a day and arrange a place for us to live. This is already much better than what we had before."
As expected, the other party did not hesitate and immediately made a decisive move, "Boss Jiang, we will follow you then."
Jiang Meishu hummed and went to see the three Huang brothers. They looked at each other and said, "Can you give us some time? We will definitely leave within three days."
The reason they left was because the eldest brother of the Huang family saw the future and had ambitions, he wanted to start his own business. Jiang Meishu brought them to Hong Kong, which allowed them to see a different market.
Especially after Jiang Meishu said she wanted to set up a decoration company, this gave them a reassurance.
Since Jiang Meishu dared to set up a decoration company, why shouldn't they dare? Just roll up your sleeves and get to work.
Jiang Meishu glanced at them, her eyes were so clear that they seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.
When the three Huang brothers felt uneasy when they were looked at by her.
Jiang Meishu said, "Okay."
"You have three days to leave, and you are only allowed to take what belongs to you."
The three Huang brothers sighed, "That's for sure. We won't take anything from the renovation team."
Jiang Meishu nodded and didn't let them come to the meeting, which made the other party feel very uncomfortable.
"Brother, are we really not going to follow Boss Jiang? I always feel that she is very capable. If we follow her, our future will definitely be good."
Boss Huang shook his head, "I don't let women be my subordinates."
"Besides, if she can do it, why can't we?"
"Anyway, the three of us brothers can't do anything."
That's true. Huang Lao Da's two younger brothers stopped talking.
inside the house.
Jiang Meishu counted their expertise, and when she was done, she said, "We have the masons, carpenters, plumbers, and electricians now. We're still short of a painter. Does anyone here have an acquaintance who can recommend a painter?"
Master Yao snorted, "Why do we need painters? All of us can paint. What's the technical requirement for this job?"
Jiang Meishu smiled and said, "Each of you has enough work to do, and it's hard enough. There's no need to assign more work to you."
"So it is definitely necessary to arrange for a painter."
"Not to mention the other painters, you guys can also take a nap and rest."
I can only say that these words were really beautiful. As soon as she said this, Master Yao and the others were so moved that they wished they could sell their lives to Jiang Meishu.
Jiang Meishu didn't care, "Everyone will have to work hard for a while."
"Master Qiao has ten apartments, my sister has eight, and Boss Li has five. All of them will be handed over to you to complete. Try to do a good job."
"However, don't rush to start the work. I have found a suitable design here. You can follow the blueprint."
"Just take these few days as a break."
Master Yao and the others immediately expressed their gratitude profusely.
After Jiang Meishu left here, she returned to Jinxiang Hotel. She was also embarrassed because she bought so many houses and left them for everyone except herself.
Jiang Meishu comforted herself that once the decoration drawings came out, she would buy a large apartment and decorate it carefully to use as her home base every time she came to Hong Kong.
After all, there is a big difference between living by yourself and renting.
Li Wenjuan was very quick. After a trip to Hong Kong University, she met three or four architectural design students through the introduction of a junior colleague.
As soon as the two parties met, she stated her needs and the other party asked to see the floor plan of the house.
Li Wenjuan naturally agreed. After viewing the house, the other party asked, "What kind of design do you want?"
This really stumped Li Wenjuan. She stated her requirements, "I'm a single woman living here, so I want a simple, clean, and preferably cozy place."
"no problem."
"What about the others?"
"For the rest, I'll ask my partner."
In the end, Li Wenjuan failed to find Jiang Meishu because Jiang Meishu had not returned yet, but she found Jiang Meilan.
According to her memory, Jiang Meilan provided several sets of decoration drawings from later generations. After showing these drawings to An Xiaohe and Zhao Fei from Xiangjiang University, they were immediately amazed.
“Can it be designed like this?”
"Yes." Jiang Meilan was clearly more professional than Li Wenjuan. Based on her memories of decorating her Hong Kong house in her previous life, she made her request, "As you can see, the house isn't big, only 35 square meters. You should make the most of the space."
"Since the usable area is limited, you can make some modifications to the space. For example, the table can be stored, the wardrobe can be slightly wall-mounted, and the balcony can be built into an upper cabinet. Anyway, you are more professional than me. These are just suggestions. The specific design is still up to you to decide."
After An Xiaohe heard this, his eyes became brighter and brighter. "We understand, Boss. We'll send the design over when it's finished later."
Jiang Meilan hummed, "Wait for your good news. If the drawings you draw are good, we can also cooperate with you for a long time."
An Xiaohe and Zhao Fei had already been driven to despair by the tuition and living expenses of Hong Kong University. When they heard Jiang Meilan say that they could have a long-term cooperation, they were naturally very happy.
night.
After Jiang Meilan and Li Wenjuan arrived at the hotel, they met with Jiang Meishu and exchanged information. Jiang Meishu was a little surprised that the establishment of the decoration company was surprisingly smooth.
She then asked, "Where should the decoration company be registered? Should we register in Guangzhou or in Hong Kong?"
This question stumped Jiang Meilan and Li Wenjuan. "What do you think?"
Jiang Meishu hesitated for a moment. "They each have their own advantages. Hong Kong has a lower tax rate, but the mainland market is vast."
"Then we can register both Xiangjiang and Yangcheng at the same time, dividing them into parent and subsidiary companies. Xiangjiang will be the parent company, and Yangcheng will be the subsidiary. This is because we will definitely need a renovation team in the early stages, and they will stay in Xiangjiang for more than a year."
They have more than 20 houses in total and will purchase more in the future. For a long time, this decoration team will definitely give priority to serving themselves.
Jiang Meishu didn't expect it could be done this way, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "Then follow this method."
"But what's the name of the company?"
This was another big problem. Li Wenjuan subconsciously said, "Don't look at me. I'm terrible at naming."
Jiang Meilan hesitated for a moment, "Then let's call it a certain decoration company?"
"What is so-and-so?"
Jiang Meishu asked.
"Then it's called Meixin Decoration Company?"
Jiang Meilan asked tentatively.
Jiang Meishu made the final decision, "That's it, but I still need to ask Qiao Jiahui about how to register the company. Qiao Jiahui has many capable people in his family."
After finalizing the details, she went to call Qiao Jiahui, who was helping out on Chen Jinshan's set and was unhappy to be called back. "Sister-in-law, you'd better talk to me about something important."
"Otherwise, if you delay my movie watching, I will be angry with you."
Jiang Meishu said concisely, "The name of the decoration company has been decided, and it will be registered in Hong Kong. Can you contact your sister who is familiar with registering companies?"
Qiao Jiahui knew the rest without Jiang Meishu saying anything else, "Wait."
A call came to Qiao Qingzhu, "Third sister, I want to register a decoration company in Hong Kong."
Qiao Qingzhu was a little surprised, but she rarely refused her brother's words. She immediately came from Qiao's house to Jinxiang Hotel and asked Qiao Jiahui for details.
Qiao Jiahui had no idea. In the end, it was Jiang Meishu who stepped in. After she finished her introduction, Qiao Qingzhu thought for a moment, "There are two conditions for registering a company in Hong Kong. The first is that you must be a native Hong Kong resident, meaning you can only qualify. The second is that the registered capital must be at least 10,000."
Jiang Meishu said, "Then use Jiahui's name to register the company. As for the registered capital." She went to see Qiao Jiahui and the others, "How about each of you contribute 30,000 yuan first?"
"There are four of us, so the registered capital is 120,000."
"I'm fine."
Li Wenjuan was the first to express her opinion.
Jiang Meilan also said, "I have no problem with that either."
Qiao Jiahui thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't this registered capital too little?"
What can you do with just 120,000 yuan?
What an inhumane statement.
Jiang Meishu said, "That's enough. The decoration company was originally planned to start small."
"Can I count it as an investment?"
Qiao Qingzhu next to him suddenly said something.
This made Jiang Meishu a little stunned, "Third Sister Qiao, our business is a small one."
"It's okay. I'm more interested. If it's convenient, I'll participate. If it's not convenient, forget it."
Jiang Meishu knew the benefits of Qiao Qingzhu's involvement, so she quickly said, "Of course."
"By then, you will be the legal officer of our Meixin Decoration Company, how about that?"
Qiao Qingzhu, "I like this title."
"Leave the registration of the company to me."
Qiao Qingzhu was very quick, registering Meixin Decoration Company in just three days. Furthermore, she also landed three large orders.
A villa under her name needs to be renovated.
Three houses under the name of Qiao Erjie need to be renovated, plus a large commercial shop of the Qiao family in Midtown needs to be renovated.
When these three orders came in, Jiang Meishu and the others were a little confused. It was also at this moment that Jiang Meishu realized the benefits of Qiao Qingzhu's participation.
If these decoration orders are completed well, it will be very important for them to break into the upper class circles of Hong Kong.
You should know that the entire decoration market in Hong Kong is still relatively blank, with scattered small teams. Jiang Meishu's decoration company is one of the few companies that is small but has all the necessary facilities.
To start a company, you naturally need an office. Jiang Meishu rented a shop in the Xiangjing Building headquarters and asked Master Yao and others to decorate the office first.
After all, this is the storefront of the later decoration company, so we naturally cannot be careless.
After the decoration company's office was completed, there was also a residence for Master Yao and his team. There were eleven people in total, and Jiang Meishu also rented a house for them near Xiangjing Building.
In addition, Meixin Company needs a person in charge in Hong Kong, so Jiang Meishu can only take over temporarily. Whoever has time between Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan will be here, and Qiao Qingqingzhu will also fill in the position.
In this way, Maxim Corporation has firmly established its foothold in Hong Kong.
The decoration orders came in like snowflakes, and Master Yao and his team only regretted that they had too few people. Later, they even brought five brothers from Guangzhou, making a total of sixteen people, to form two separate teams.
After Maxim got back on track.
Jiang Meishu breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Jinshan found her. "Jiang sister, the preparations for my movie are almost finished, and it's almost ready for release. Now we're just waiting for a few dates. Can you help me choose one?"
Jiang Meishu hummed, "You say."
Chen Jinshan said, "It's already August. The next closest release date is October, which is during the National Day holiday. The next closest release date is during the New Year holiday, and the last one is during the Spring Festival."
"Which one do you think is better?"
Jiang Meishu, "Both the National Day and Spring Festival releases are fine."
"However, if I had to choose between the two, I would probably choose the Spring Festival period."
"Why?"
Jiang Meishuxin said that many of the hit movies in later generations were based on Lunar New Year films. "Because the Spring Festival holiday is so long, not only students have a holiday, but also office workers have a holiday. For ordinary people, they can save money all year round, but not during the Spring Festival. After a year of hard work, they have to reward themselves during the Spring Festival."
For this reason alone, no one can refuse the Spring Festival holiday season.
Chen Jinshan's eyes lit up almost instantly when he heard this, "I understand."
"What?"
"No wonder my previous films were so unprofitable that even my mother couldn't recognize them. At most, I would choose a weekend release, and often it was during the week. I never considered environmental issues."
Jiang Meishu, "..."
Jiang Meishu endured it again and again and said, "Don't you want to go? Who has the time and money to go to the movies during the week?"
"I haven't thought about it because my mind is on the movie. I only care about the content of the movie. Everything else is just icing on the cake."
Jiang Meishu took a deep breath and looked at him like he was an idiot. "Director Chen, then you really didn't deserve to be rejected before."
Chen Jinshan sighed, "Who thought about these things before? Everyone seemed to be competing on the quality of the film and never cared about these external things."
At this point, he brought up the second important thing he had come for. "Sister Jiang, this movie is coming out during the Spring Festival. I'd like to invite you to come and cut the ribbon. Would you be willing?"
