Chapter 1212 Investing in Real Estate
As Chen Qiang said, it really did taste different from what you get outside. I can't quite explain it, but it was just delicious.
Linghua's eyes lit up, "When my cousin comes over next time, I'm going to treat her to a meal here!"
Liang Cheng smiled and said, "It's my treat! You've always been the one to entertain us, but from now on we'll entertain her!"
Chen Qiang blinked and asked, "Are you talking about Fu Chen's lover?"
Liang Cheng nodded. "Yes! She's Aunt Linghua's cousin. Haven't you met her before?"
Chen Qiang nodded, "I've met her, but we've never talked privately! My uncle is a university professor here, and he received her sponsorship for high-tech research and development! He even praised her as one of the few people in China who values high technology!"
Linghua nodded, "Yes! My cousin collaborates with many universities, spending countless amounts of money every year! Sometimes I ask her curiously, 'Is it true that all that hard-earned money is just spent like this, sometimes without any results at all?' But my cousin always says, 'Someone has to spend this money. If we can achieve a major breakthrough in any area, that will give us the confidence to overtake others in the future!'"
Others only see that my cousin has earned a lot of money, but few people know where she spends it.
She used to think that she was doing very well selling albums in the entertainment industry and had commercial performances, earning a lot of money every year, but compared to her cousin, it was just a drop in the ocean.
But she couldn't match her cousin's ability to spend money. Her cousin could fund a lot of scientific and technological research, but she didn't understand these things.
So, on her family's advice, she donated some of the money to charity. Every year, her donations help more than a dozen children regain their health, which gives her a great sense of satisfaction.
As her income increases, she will sponsor more children so they can have healthy bodies and vibrant lives.
Chen Qiang thought for a moment, "The real estate market in Beijing is pretty good. Has your cousin ever thought about coming here to do real estate?"
Chen Qiang's real estate agency business has been doing quite well recently, but seeing the booming development of the real estate industry, he wants to get involved in it.
His family also has connections here. They can handle everything from land acquisition to other matters; what they lack now is funding, good designs, and new ideas.
Upon hearing this, Linghua thought about it carefully and said, "I'm not quite sure about that, but I can ask when I get back."
The reason she didn't directly refuse was because her second cousin also had real estate businesses in Shenzhen and Guangzhou. What if it was a good opportunity, and she turned it down outright? Wouldn't that be a real shame?
Upon hearing Linghua's words, Chen Qiang raised his glass in a toast, "Thank you! Whether it works out or not, I appreciate your kind gesture!"
Liang Cheng asked curiously, "Chen Qiang, your real estate agency business is doing so well, are you now getting involved in real estate?"
Chen Qiang chuckled. "I'm very confident about future development, especially in real estate. Many people try to make money out of thin air, but I think that's a bit risky. So I want to bring in some capital and then jointly establish a more scientifically managed real estate company."
Liang Cheng nodded. "It's normal for you to have such thoughts, after all, your family has certain connections, which makes it relatively convenient for you to do this. As your childhood friend, I have to remind you that even if you do it through certain connections, you must still act legally and in accordance with regulations, and you must never buy or sell state assets at a low price."
Linghua nodded quickly, "Yes, absolutely not! My cousin said that the risks of doing that are too great! After all, you already have the advantage. If you still try to make money by buying low and selling high, or even by making some false accounts, that's not making money, that's breaking the law, planting a huge time bomb, and heading towards destruction."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qiang was filled with respect. "That's what my family says about me too. So while others are making a fortune, although I'm doing well, I'm far behind them."
Liang Cheng patted Chen Qiang on the shoulder, "You've done a very good job! Actually, with the development of the real estate industry, the decoration industry is also thriving! These are all related to houses, and you know about them, so you can plan more!"
Chen Qiang's eyes lit up. "You were absolutely right! I've now established a renovation company, and the workers and designers I've hired are all excellent. Things are stable now!"
Liang Cheng exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't realize you had such a good business sense!"
Linghua thought for a moment, "Actually, the decoration styles here are a little behind those in the south! There aren't many styles either, unlike Shenzhen, which has more contact with Hong Kong Island and is more influenced by the outside world! So the decoration styles there include Western minimalism, European palace style, pastoral style, and Chinese style decoration... all kinds of building materials and furniture! But these are all external. Many building materials used in decoration are substandard, Chen Qiang, you need to keep a close eye on them! Health is the most important thing!"
Chen Qiang made a mental note of everything. "These are all valuable experiences! When I have time, I'll take the designers to Shanghai to learn more!"
Linghua nodded, "There are all sorts of exhibitions there. When I get back, I'll have someone collect them for you and fax them to you!"
Chen Qiang treated her to dinner, and Linghua didn't accept the food for nothing. As her cousin would say, the first rule for building relationships or becoming friends is to be altruistic.
You need to make others feel that you are enthusiastic and capable of providing help, so that they will be willing to help you.
In the adult world, there are not many things that are taken for granted, and there is no such thing as selfless dedication. The friendships formed in childhood will gradually fade if they are not maintained by the interests that come with adulthood.
Chen Qiang looked at Linghua and Liang Cheng with gratitude in his eyes, "Sister-in-law, Liang Cheng, you two are so kind! When are you getting married? I'll take care of the decoration of your wedding room! I promise to use the best materials and do the best decoration!"
Liang Cheng chuckled, "I'll be getting my demolished house soon! I'll hand it over to you then, but I won't let you help for nothing. You'll pay whatever you're owed, but like you said, you absolutely have to renovate it properly!"
Chen Qiang thumped his chest loudly, "Don't worry, I've got it covered! If I mess up, you can twist my head off! I wouldn't even cheat others, why would I cheat my own brothers!"
A meal brought them closer and allowed Linghua to gradually integrate into Liang Cheng's life.
The next morning, Liang Cheng drove Linghua to the airport, saying, "After I'm done with things here, I'll come see you in Shenzhen!"
Linghua whispered, "You're busy with work over there, so please take care of yourself!"
When Liang Cheng wasn't looking, Linghua kissed him on the cheek, then quickly pushed her luggage and ran away.
