Chapter 226
After hearing this, Jiang Meishu was at a loss for words. "Sister Wenjuan, what are you thinking? How could I break up with Lao Liang?"
"I'm planning to invest in a piece of land with Lao Liang, but I don't have enough money, so I wanted to ask if there are any extra dividends here so I can raise some money first."
Li Wenjuan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. "That's not bad."
"But what kind of land do you want to invest in?"
Apparently she was interested too.
Jiang Meishu and her team were short of money, so she said bluntly, "Ka Fai bought a piece of land in Pengcheng, and it cost 10 million to buy it."
"This is just the initial price. If you invest in building factories or houses later, that's the big money."
After hearing this, Li Wenjuan murmured, "You are taking too big a step." The last time she invested one million in a movie, she felt that the investment was a bit high.
As a result, this time it directly reached 10 million.
This was something Li Wenjuan couldn't even imagine.
"no way."
Jiang Meishu sighed, "If we miss this opportunity, it'll be hard to come by again. That's why we're all risking our entire fortunes for this tiny chance."
Li Wenjuan couldn't understand. "Meilan, is this worth it?"
Li Wenjuan has always only done business that she thinks is suitable. In other words, she doesn't like to take risks.
She had a foundation when she first opened a garment factory, and later she invested in Meixin Decoration Company. Her own house was also being renovated, and she discovered that there was a lot of money to be made in this business, so she decided to invest in Meixin Decoration Company.
When I invested in a film company later, I saw Jiang Meishu. After investing in the movie "The Contract", she actually made many times the profit.
Only then did Li Wenjuan invest in a film company.
As for Jiang Meishu's suggestion of spending 10 million to invest in the land of that shabby fishing village in Pengcheng, Li Wenjuan couldn't understand. "What do you want the land for?"
"You want land. We have so many vacant vegetable plots around Yangcheng. How much do you want? Forget ten million. You can buy a lot of land with one million, Meilan!"
Li Wenjuan almost shook Jiang Meishu's shoulders to wake her up.
Jiang Meishu said calmly, "Sister Wenjuan, I know what I'm doing. You don't need to persuade me anymore. I'd even like to persuade you to participate in Jiahui's land investment if you have some spare money."
This is a very profitable business, but she can't say it for sure.
Jiang Meishu's words were immediately rejected by Li Wenjuan. "I won't invest in land. I only invest in businesses that I can see profits from."
Garment factories, film companies, decoration companies, these are things she can see, and she will not do things she cannot see.
That piece of land is equivalent to a pile of loess. What does she want the loess for?
Seeing that she really couldn't be persuaded, Jiang Meishu stopped talking and said, "Since you don't want to participate, then lend me the money."
"I'll pay you back at an interest rate three points higher than the market rate."
It's not considered usury, there is also a sense of affection between the two parties involved.
Li Wenjuan nodded and said, "That's no problem, but I don't want interest on the money I lend you." If she charged interest in front of Jiang Meishu, what kind of person would she be?
She called the accountant and asked him to bring the account book.
"This is the money in the account of Meixin Decoration Company. Since its establishment last year, it has made a profit of about 250,000 yuan. We distributed dividends once in the early stage, and this is the money that has not been distributed yet. We originally planned to distribute it all at the end of the year, but since you asked for it in advance, I will give it to you in advance."
"Of the 230,000, you have 70,000, I have 70,000, Qiao Jiahui has 50,000, and your sister Jiang Meishu has 40,000."
This dividend is distributed according to the original investment ratio of everyone.
Seeing that Jiang Meishu didn't say anything, Li Wenjuan said quickly, "I can give you my money when the time comes."
"Besides that, the garment factory has withheld 90,000 in dividends from you, so I still have about 700,000 left."
"I'll give it to you then."
Jiang Meishu discovered that she had raised nearly a million dollars just by coming to Li Wenjuan. This touched her a little. She shook her hand and said, "Sister Wenjuan, thank you."
Li Wenjuan waved her hand. "Meilan, have you thought it through? This business isn't that easy to do. In my opinion, investing in land is the easiest way to lose money."
Jiang Meishu said, "I've thought it through. I will definitely invest in this land."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Li Wenjuan could only give up. She sighed, "If you make a loss in the future, the dividends from the garment factory will ensure that you can have a meal."
It’s just that in the later period, the dividends from the garment factory might have been used to pay off debts.
Jiang Meishu was at a loss for words, "Sister Wenjuan, don't worry, it won't come to this."
Li Wenjuan did not comment.
Jiang Meishu left Chen Jinshan and Li Wenjuan here, and she raised a total of nearly two million.
For an average person, this amount of money was quite large, but for Jiang Meishu, it wasn't much. So, she continued to raise funds, mortgaging all of her 19 rental properties in Xiangjing Building, and ultimately secured a loan of 930,000 yuan.
This was because of the relationship with Qiao Jiahui's third sister, Qiao Qingzhu, so the other party quoted her a relatively high price. Otherwise, she might only be able to mortgage around 700,000.
At this point, Jiang Meishu had come to Hong Kong and raised a total of 2.7 million. Before she left, she went to call Qiao Jiahui.
Qiao Jiahui's situation is also good. He has more than 5 million in his hands, but fortunately he has many sisters, and all three of them are wealthy women. The eldest sister works at a TV station, and it was also an arranged marriage, so two million was directly transferred from her to Qiao Jiahui.
It's not that Sister Qiao doesn't give much, it's that she has no say in her husband's family. Although she married into the family through an arranged marriage, she has no contact with her husband's family's business.
So the money she had came from, firstly, her dowry, secondly, pocket money given by her husband's elders and mother-in-law, and thirdly, she earned from various investments in radio stations.
These two million or so almost drained all of Sister Qiao's savings.
Qiao Jiahui naturally knew his elder sister's difficulties, so he even gave her a military order, "Elder sister, don't worry, I will definitely return it to you in the end."
He originally wanted to double her money, but he was afraid of losing money, so he didn't dare to say such a big thing.
Sister Qiao smiled and said, "This money was originally intended for you to use. You can keep it."
"Yanyan has his grandparents, and the property he inherited from his father is enough for him to live a carefree life for several lifetimes."
Qiao Jiahui was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and hugged Sister Qiao. Then came Sister Qiao, the second sister. She was a female devil in Hong Kong. After her two husbands died through marriage, her reputation as a husband-killer spread.
Later, Qiao Erjie focused on her career.
The businesses under her name are almost all over Hong Kong, and the bulk of them are still her father's shipping industry, or more accurately, the smuggling industry.
This is almost a huge profit.
This is a man's world, but Qiao Erjie fought her way out of it, carving a bloody path.
So she also has money.
When Qiao Jiahui found her, he waved his hand and gave her six million, "Take it and build it."
This is more than what Old Man Qiao gave him at the beginning. You should know that when Old Man Qiao gave Qiao Jiahui the money to open Hongtai in Guangzhou, it was only 800,000.
And Second Sister Qiao was directly in it, and her money almost increased tenfold.
Looking at the number on the check, Qiao Jiahui was stunned for a long time. "Second sister, aren't you afraid that I will lose money on this money and won't be able to pay you back?"
Second Sister Qiao glanced at him and said, "Your investment skills seem pretty good lately. What's going on? Are you planning on going back to your old, useless ways?"
Qiao Jiahui shook his head subconsciously, "Second sister, that's not the case. Even if I become a loser in this life, the Hongtai, Maxim, and film companies under my name will ensure my wealth."
"That's it."
Second Sister Qiao was very open-minded. "You can use this money. If you really lose all your money, you can mortgage all your shares to me."
Qiao Jiahui, “…”
She is definitely my biological sister.
He hummed, "I will definitely compensate you when the time comes."
"That's enough."
Second Sister Qiao had high cheekbones that held back her flesh. She had that matriarchal look, and she was quite dignified. "Jiahui, people like us would rather you go out and start a business and ruin the family than stay home and be a loser."
"As long as you go out and start a business, as long as you are willing to work hard, it is normal to have losses and gains, but if you stay at home for too long, you will be wasted."
Qiao Jiahui disagreed. He thought to himself that when he was lying at home, he couldn't even spend a thousand yuan a month.
If he started this business, he would lose 10 million, or even more, which would be enough for him to lie down for several lifetimes.
But he couldn't tell this to his second sister. With his second sister's Tyrannosaurus Rex temper, she would make his head explode if she told him.
He could only bow his head and say yes.
When it was Qiao Sanjie's turn, she gave Qiao Jiahui one million and told him to spend it without having to pay it back.
This made Qiao Jiahui instantly feel like he was being raised by his sister.
Although he said that this was the other party's investment, none of the three sisters took it seriously.
Everyone thought that this was money to help their younger brother, but they never thought about investing it to earn it back.
So when Qiao Jiahui and Jiang Meishu met, Jiang Meishu had raised 2.7 million.
Qiao Jiahui is lucky. He hasn't even gone home to ask for money yet, but he has already gotten over 10 million from his three sisters alone.
And that's without even asking his mother for her own money.
He asked Jiang Meishu, "Is this money enough?"
"Not enough, I'm going home."
I can only say that children from wealthy families are really lucky.
Go home and cry, and you'll have ten million.
Jiang Meishu, "That's all for now. If it's not enough later, come back and ask for more."
"I have about 5 million, and you have about 15 million. Together, we have 20 million."
To be honest, when Jiang Meishu said this herself, it felt a bit unreal.
It is hard to imagine that she could actually say the word "20 million" at the end of 1979.
It's as rare as talking about a car in ancient times.
"That's all for now."
Qiao Jiahui was still not satisfied. "If I go back to my mother and cry, considering how accomplished I am now, she might give me a few million."
"From this perspective, we have the money for subsequent investment."
Jiang Meishu, "..."
Jiang Meishu is really blessed. But when you compare people, their destinies are really different.
*
When Jiang Meishu and Qiao Jiahui returned to Pengcheng again, she still felt as if she was in another world. One second there were high-rise buildings, and the next second there were bungalows, and everything was gray.
This gives people a very disconnected feeling.
It took Jiang Mei a long time to recover. She first went home to check on Liang Qiurun, but he was not at home. She thought for a while and called Secretary Chen.
When Liang Qiurun got the news, he immediately rushed from Guangzhou to Shenzhen.
He had basically raised the money, 18% of the shares, and in the end mortgaged 450,000 yuan.
His is considered low, but there is no other way. People naturally value shares, but most people don't.
Being able to mortgage 450,000 is already pretty good.
Liang Qiurun found Jiang Meishu and said, "Basically, this is the situation. If I want to mortgage my house in the capital, I need to go back in person. The time is too short, and I don't have time to go back."
“So that’s the only amount of money that was raised.”
The nature of Liang Qiurun and Jiang Meishu's work meant that he was not as good as Jiang Meishu in raising money.
Jiang Meishu comforted him, "It's good to have this money. I have 2.7 million here, plus the money you mortgaged, we have raised an extra 3 million this time."
"Adding the previous amount, the total is 5.8 million, which is enough."
That's enough indeed.
Liang Qiurun stopped blaming himself and collected enough money. They went to the Planning Bureau before the deadline for payment.
Qiao Jiahui paid a total of 10 million yuan, of which 4 million yuan was shares contributed by Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun.
In addition, Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun also paid 1.5 million yuan separately to acquire the land in Houjie.
At this point, Jiang Meishu has transformed herself into a woman who owns thousands of square meters of land in Guangzhou. Thinking of this, she would be very happy even if she invested all her net worth into it.
After paying the money, when I came out, I met Li Chengdong. Li Chengdong came to pay the money for Jinsha land, and the two parties met.
They originally had some friendship, after all, they bought so many houses from Li Chengdong, but when bidding for the land, the insignificant friendship between the two parties suddenly became precarious.
Li Chengdong glanced at Qiao Jiahui and said, "I haven't congratulated you yet for successfully acquiring the land in Xiaodongmen."
"I also hope that you can successfully develop in the future."
Why does this sound weird?
Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun both noticed it, but before they could say anything, Qiao Jiahui took over, "I haven't congratulated you yet. I wish you success in your subsequent development after acquiring the Jinsha land, and that you won't be targeted by Zhao Songqi, the troublemaker, alone."
This is not a blessing at all, it is clearly a threat and it is also a way of adding insult to injury.
Li Chengdong's face turned pale on the spot, and almost in an instant, he turned around and left.
This left Qiao Jiahui a little confused. "What's wrong with him? I was congratulating him, why is he angry?"
I have to say that Qiao Jiahui's straight ball is really fun. He is very insensitive, and Li Chengdong is almost pissed off.
Jiang Meishu, who was standing next to him, didn't know what to say. She looked at Li Chengdong's back as he left and said, "He's going crazy."
"Don't worry about him. Have you signed all the documents on your side?"
She asked Qiao Jiahui.
"It's signed."
Qiao Jiahui took out the contract and showed it to Jiang Meishu.
Jiang Meishu looked at the contract and suggested to Liang Qiurun, "Old Liang, shall we go look at the land?"
She can't wait to become a local landlord.
Although this was not true, she just wanted to be a landlord. Jiang Meishu understood better than anyone that after the 1980s, those things that were once rejected, such as money, power, and even land, became good things.
Liang Qiurun touched his head and said gently, "If you want to go, go now."
"Which way to go first?"
Xiaodongmen and Houjie are some distance apart.
"I want to go to Xiaodongmen and take a look."
The Xiaodongmen, which later became prosperous and crowded with people, was just a wasteland in January 1980, with a few dilapidated gray bungalows scattered around.
Jiang Meishu was fascinated by the sight, but Qiao Jiahui said, "Sister-in-law, I don't understand. You said we took 10 million and auctioned off this junky thing for what?"
He squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil. "Even with this soil, it's not easy to grow vegetables."
Jiang Meishu smiled, "That's now."
She looked into the distance. The 7,500 square meters of land was more than she had imagined, almost endless.
"Jiahui, this barren land here will develop better than Hong Kong in the future."
And she is one of the owners of this land.
Jiang Meishu didn't know how to describe her feelings. She just felt like a poor serf who had suddenly risen from the dead and was now singing.
Qiao Jiahui didn't believe it, "Sister-in-law, please stop bragging. How can this place be compared to Hong Kong?"
“Even if it were given a hundred years to develop, it still wouldn’t be able to catch up to Hong Kong.”
Seeing that he didn't want to miss you, Jiang Meishu didn't force him to believe it, but went to Houjie next. Houjie was even more desolate than Xiaodongmen. There were almost no people to be seen, and there were wastelands everywhere.
Jiang Meishu looked at it and said to Liang Qiurun, "Old Liang, if you want to build a grand business here, it won't be easy."
Liang Qiurun also looked at the land and smiled. "It's not easy, but it's more challenging, isn't it?"
After hearing this, Qiao Jiahui thought it was perverted.
These two are perverts.
After the land auction was confirmed, Jiang Meishu was no longer so nervous, as the Chinese New Year was only five days away.
We are about to move from the 1970s to the 1980s, which is a major turning point.
Jiang Meishu also knew the importance of this New Year's Eve, so she found Liang Qiurun and asked him, "Lao Liang, should we go back to the capital to celebrate the New Year this year?"
She knew she was being unfair to Liang's mother by spending the New Year in Guangzhou for two years in a row. After all, she was leaving the old lady alone in the capital.
Before Liang Qiurun could answer, a phone call came from home.
It was Uncle Lin who called, his voice a little heavy, "Qiu Run, Xiao Jiang, come back for the New Year this year and visit your mother."
When Liang Qiurun heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He asked worriedly, "Uncle Lin, what happened to my mother?"
Uncle Lin was silent for a moment. Even through the receiver, one could hear his deep voice. "You'll know when you come back."
Because of Uncle Lin’s phone call.
Liang Qiurun and Jiang Meishu bought train tickets overnight and returned to the capital from Guangzhou. After three days and four nights of train travel, they arrived in the capital.
It is already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still two days until the Chinese New Year.
As soon as Liang Qiurun got out of the train station, he immediately took Jiang Meishu home. It was an hour's drive, but he managed to get back in half an hour.
However, when he got home, he saw that everything around the house was quiet.
This made Liang Qiurun even more worried. After putting his luggage in the patio, he subconsciously went to Liang's mother's room.
However, before they arrived, they saw Liang's mother sitting under the eaves watching the snow.
She had lost a lot of weight. She was lying on a rattan chair with a quilt draped over her, looking calmly at the snow particles outside.
After noticing the movement.
Mother Liang turned around and looked at the dusty Liang Qiurun and Jiang Meishu. She smiled kindly but her face was sickly. "Qiurun, Xiao Jiang, you're back for the New Year."
