Chapter 222: Move fast and look cool
The closer it gets to the holiday, the busier Chen Jianghe becomes.
Recently, the popularity of "Light Chasers" in eastern Guangdong and even the entire Pearl River Delta region has remained high. Not only do reporters come to visit every day, but bank business managers often take the initiative to visit to negotiate business such as operating loans. Of course, there are also all kinds of false flattery and extortion.
This is how startups are. When no one is interested, they are afraid of bankruptcy. When they are mediocre, they are afraid of not making money. After they become popular, they are afraid of too much trouble.
This is actually similar to falling in love. Between men and women, if they are too far away, they feel stranger; if they are too close, they fear being annoyed; if there are too few, they fear being indifferent; if there are too many, they fear being clingy. You see, it's so difficult.
Fortunately, the company has a secretary who is not afraid of trouble or nagging. She reports important matters in a timely manner, makes independent decisions on small matters, and takes good care of guests.
As the only daughter in the family and the first heir to the Lin Group, Lin Siqi has followed her father to various business occasions since she was a child. She has been exposed to many things and is well versed in the ways of the world. She handles all the trivial matters inside and outside the company in an orderly and comprehensive manner, and basically does not let these small troubles bother Chen Jianghe.
This is also one of the important reasons why Chen Jianghe is willing to include her and his father in the company's shareholder list, because she deserves it.
On the afternoon of September 30th, Chen Jianghe made arrangements for his holiday work in advance, skipped two unimportant classes, and walked out of the school gate. The first thing he saw was a red BYD parked not far away.
Zheng Jiaxin, who was sitting in the driver's seat, also saw him, raised her eyebrows, put on her sunglasses, opened the car door and greeted him with a smile.
Chen Jianghe walked up to her with big strides, raised his hand to take off her sunglasses, and said with a smile: "How can a driver be cooler than the boss? Confiscate it."
Zheng Jiaxin was not angry when she heard this, and even took the initiative to help him put it on, took a closer look, and smiled and praised: "It's quite handsome, no wonder girls like it."
Chen Jianghe was stunned for a moment. It had become a habit for him to pinch his aunt whenever he met her. Now, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when he heard her praising him with a smile on her face.
"Aunt, do you have something to ask for?" Chen Jianghe asked subconsciously.
"Yes." Zheng Jiaxin nodded slightly and said, "A week ago, your sixth uncle bought a Nissan Honda. He called me for several nights in a row and compared my BYD everywhere. It was so annoying."
"Don't be competitive." Chen Jianghe pushed up his sunglasses and said, "Come on, I'll take you to buy a Mercedes."
"ha?"
Zheng Jiaxin looked surprised.
Before I could react, Chen Jianghe had already sat in the driver's seat and patted the passenger seat cushion.
Zheng Jiaxin jogged around half a circle, sat gracefully in the passenger seat, fastened her seat belt, and slightly stretched her long legs that seemed to have nowhere to put.
"BYD these days is really a bit disappointing."
Chen Jianghe's original intention of buying this car was to facilitate his aunt and Jiang Yishu's daily travel, and to support domestically produced cars at the same time. However, in today's era of fuel vehicles, many domestic car companies lack technological accumulation and are obviously unable to compete with well-known foreign car companies.
There is a chain of contempt in the current automotive ecosystem. Owners of imported cars look down on joint venture cars, and joint venture cars look down on domestic cars.
However, Chen Jianghe knows clearly that fuel vehicles will soon be challenged by new energy vehicles, and domestic new energy vehicle companies will also have an excellent opportunity to overtake others.
"Are you really going to buy me a Mercedes?"
When Chen Jianghe drove to the door of the Mercedes-Benz 4S store, Zheng Jiaxin hesitated and said, "I'm just a little annoyed by your sixth uncle, and I don't want to compete with him."
Chen Jianghe shrugged and said, "I've always disliked that Sixth Uncle, that jerk. The first time he came to my house, he looked dishonest and kept staring at you. I guess he must have had dirty thoughts because you're so beautiful."
"Hmm?" Zheng Jiaxin stared at Chen Jianghe for a long time, and said faintly: "You little brat, why do you speak so bluntly? After all..."
"After all, what?" Chen Jianghe interrupted his aunt a little domineeringly and said, "To me, he is an outsider, and my aunt is my own family."
Zheng Jiaxin was a little touched, and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pinch his cheek, and smiled and said, "It's not in vain that I love you."
Chen Jianghe let her do it for a few seconds, then unbuckled his seat belt and said, "Enough of the small talk, go pick a car you like and drive straight back."
"No." Zheng Jiaxin shook her head decisively; "The cars here are very expensive, and your money is not blown by the wind. You should save as much as you can. In fact, my car is quite comfortable to drive, so there is no need to change it."
"Aunt, you may have misunderstood." Chen Jianghe smiled and explained seriously: "The money I made recently really feels like it was blown by the wind."
Zheng Jiaxin was a little dumbfounded, showing a very rare dazed expression. She stared at him for a long time, and after a moment she earnestly reminded him: "Even if there is money blown by the strong wind, you have to catch it, you can't fly away."
"Yeah." Chen Jianghe nodded without saying much. Anyway, he had already achieved what his aunt had boasted about in front of his sixth aunt last time. The money he earned in a month required four or five money detectors to count day and night for several days.
In September, he raked in more than 70 million yuan from the stock market. Before the National Day, 95% of the funds in the account were pocketed in batches. The cash on the company's books and in his personal bank accounts was close to 300 million yuan.
To be a little bit arrogant, looking across eastern Guangdong, there may be many wealthy people who are richer than Chen Jianghe, but there are only a handful of them who can directly take out hundreds of millions in cash.
You should spend the money you earn, otherwise the money is just paper and the account balance is just numbers.
Chen Jianghe himself has no obsession with luxury cars and luxury goods. Right now, housing prices in eastern Guangdong are rising too rapidly, and it is not cost-effective to buy assets such as luxury houses and villas. It is more practical to buy a car for his aunt. After all, such a reliable driver is hard to find even with a lantern.
"Welcome to Mercedes-Benz."
A handsome man and beautiful woman like Chen Jianghe and Zheng Jiaxin are the focus of attention wherever they go. Even when they appeared at the Mercedes-Benz 4S store driving a BYD, the beautiful receptionist greeted them with a very warm smile. The sales consultant who usually looks a bit arrogant was suddenly enlightened and trotted forward to greet the guests.
“No introduction is needed, we look at it ourselves and buy it if we like it.”
When Chen Jianghe buys things, he doesn't like people chattering about recommendations and introductions.
The sales consultant in the 4S store was also a shrewd person. He looked Chen Jianghe up and down and felt that this young man looked very extraordinary. He was most likely a rich second-generation who brought his girlfriend to buy a car. The BYD parked outside the door should be his daily grocery shopping car.
People like this really don't need too much introduction. Just follow them for a few steps and answer whatever they ask.
“This one looks great.”
Zheng Jiaxin pointed to a silver-white Mercedes-Benz E280.
Hearing this, the sales consultant smiled and walked forward to open the car door: "If you like, you can test drive it."
"Let's give it a try?" Zheng Jiaxin turned and asked Chen Jianghe.
"Okay, drive out for a spin." Chen Jianghe nodded.
When Zheng Jiaxin came back from a drive, she was excited but a little confused and came to Chen Jianghe to tell him about her test drive experience. Chen Jianghe handed her a bunch of car keys and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Ms. Zheng Jiaxin, for becoming a distinguished Mercedes-Benz owner."
“So soon?”
Zheng Jiaxin thought to herself that she was not so willing to buy a piece of clothing worth 70 or 80 yuan. This car was priced at 700,000 or 800,000 yuan. Although the test drive felt great, she was really reluctant to spend so much money on a car. Even if it was Chen Jianghe's money, she still felt distressed.
"When you swipe your card to pay, you need to be quick and have a cool posture." Chen Jianghe looked indifferent and asked casually, "Aunt, what do you think of a nephew like me?"
“There’s nothing much to say about him except that he’s handsome.” Zheng Jiaxin said with a smile.
