Chapter 72: Wang Zhong's Real Estate Dream

  "Why?" Jiang Yiping asked, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized that his tone was somewhat inappropriate. This wasn't how a regional manager should speak to an executive vice president.

  However, Wang Zhong unexpectedly did not put on that arrogant face: "It's very simple, even if it's a subsidiary of JFR International, it still needs to have its own office building."

  "After a pause, Wang Zhong continued: 'In one year's time, this office building will be built and have its own characteristics. It doesn't need to become a landmark in Zhangjiajie, but it should also make a name for itself and leave a lasting impression.'"

  Watching Wang Zhong act as a high-ranking vice president with such poise, Shangguan Shi's mouth curled up into a sly smile.

  "What about the funding issue?" Jiang Yiping asked tentatively.

  "After the plan is finalized, it will be reported to headquarters. At that time, I will come personally to review it. However, it's certain that your side will need to make some self-raised funds, so mentally prepare for it." Wang Zhen smiled slightly.

  Jiang Yiping hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Alright, Director Wang. I'll sell the 20th floor of Zhao Nan Times Square as soon as possible, which will free up a lot of funds. I'll report the location and design drawings to headquarters as soon as possible."

  "Alright, go ahead." Wang Zheng said with a smile.

  Jiang Yiping left respectfully, although he was very unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't show it. After all, the guy in front of him was the second-in-command of Jufeng, but what he didn't realize from start to finish was that the woman who looked like a little secretary next to Wang Zheng was actually the real boss of Jufeng.

  Seeing that there was no one else in the conference room, Shangguan Shi pinched Wang Zhen's arm and smiled: "I said, President Wang, you're really enjoying being a high-ranking vice president, getting into character so quickly. But can't waste Jufeng's money like this, building a landmark building must cost a fortune?"

  Wang Zhong smiled slyly: "I've finally managed to use the tiger's might once, and you're not satisfied yet. You think I don't know that Zhang Jia Jiang branch is so profitable? Even if he has to raise funds himself, those loans will probably be paid off within two years. I just don't want to hand over this lucrative spot to Chu Zhao Nan, and besides, you said you wanted to develop real estate, I'm just creating some momentum for you."

  Shangguan Shi pinched Wang Zheng again and said, "Aren't you afraid that this move will affect my relationship with Chu Shaonan? The Chu family is not a pushover, I don't want to fall out with Chu Shaonan yet."

  "What's wrong with this? It's just fair competition, we didn't use any underhanded tactics. Is the real estate industry only controlled by Chu Zhao Nan? Can't we get a share of the market?"

  After a pause, Wang Zhong continued: "Moreover, Jutron has already started to enter the white home appliance industry. If it also develops real estate, wouldn't that be a one-stop service? Buying a house from Jutron and then buying home appliances from Jutron, think about how cool that is."

  "But this does not conform to the consistent industrial policy of Jiarong. Moreover, for the real estate industry, the country's macro-control is further strengthening, although our funds are sufficient and abundant, if we spread out too much, it will definitely be difficult to turn over."

  "Don't worry, the local government won't give up on real estate, this big fat meat. Some underdeveloped areas' governments are already relying on selling land for a living, with the power of officials, they can definitely get good land at a low price. Besides, we're not unscrupulous businessmen, Jutron's house prices must be lower than other developers, so that ordinary people can afford to buy houses."

  "Also, we can communicate with the government and get the development rights of those affordable housing units. These are actually good things for the people. As for the first wave of real estate offensive, let's focus on Nanjiang and Jiangning, the two richest provinces." Wang Zhen said with his eyes narrowed, as if recalling something from the past.

  However, Wang Zhong did not notice that he had already begun to unconsciously use the word "we" in his conversation with Shangguan Shi Shi, it seems that getting into character is indeed very quick.

  Shangguan Shishi looked at Wang Zhong with a serious face: "How come I feel like you're a philanthropist? What's your motive for doing this?"

  "For the sake of my great cause that will last for a thousand years."

  "Stop it." Shangguan Shi Shi rolled her eyes: "I want to know your true purpose, don't tell me that nonsense about developing the giant tree and establishing the Shangguan family's image."

  "Are you telling the truth?" Wang Zhong said with a hint of a smile.

  "Yes, go ahead."

  "The first reason is that these two places have the highest housing prices, and everyone's survival pressure is a bit high. If you haven't lived at the bottom, you might not understand the bitterness in it."

  Shangguan Shi said with some skepticism, "I don't think you're that kind of person. You want to do charity work and have an NGO, but every year you invest a significant amount of money. What's the second reason?"

  "Charity doesn't necessarily have to be shown through investment in NGOs. As for the second reason," Wang Zhen smiled, "I want to disrupt the superficial economic order and make it harder for the top officials of two provinces."

  "Two provincial party secretaries? Su Nan and Zhang Binghao? Why are you provoking them? These are all core members of the Su faction. Especially Su Nan, he's also Old Man Su's favorite son." Shangguan Shi said: "Wang Zheng, I'm not afraid that you'll drag down Jutron, as I said before, whatever you want to do, I'll go all out to help, but I don't want to see you act impulsively either. Rest assured, when the time comes, I might just accompany you in your impulsive actions."

  Wang Zheng looked at the determined expression of the young girl, and a part of his heart inexplicably began to soften: "Don't worry, I won't drag Jù Róng down with me. I'll just borrow some power from him, and it will bring very rich rewards."

  After a pause, Wang Zheng smiled and said: "Actually, my starting point is really simple, I just want to try to see if it's possible to lower the housing prices."

  "If we can't do great things, then let's do small things with great love." Wang Zheng said a sentence that was completely different from his character, causing Shangguan Shi to fall into deep contemplation.

  And the real estate plan that would shake the country in the future was also slowly taking shape in Shangguan Shi's mind at this time.

  "Director Wang, I've arrived. All personnel files from the Quality Assurance Department and Security Inspection Department for the past year are here." Li Xiaoli came in, sweating profusely, followed by two secretaries carrying over a meter-high stack of personnel files.

  "Let's put it here. It's a bit of trouble for Director Li, but I still have a few questions to clarify." Wang Zhong said: "In the past year, how many people left and joined in two departments, and how many employees are currently on the job?"

  Li Xiaoli wiped the sweat: "It's okay, there are not many personnel changes in these two departments. There are 26 employees on duty and only three people have left. No one has joined. Among the three who left, one is a quality control department manager. In addition, the police have sent someone over and brought two lie detectors. Please provide us with the questions for the lie detector test, General Wang."

  Wang Zheng nodded in satisfaction, handed over a piece of paper and said: "Your efficiency is very high, these are fifty lie detector test questions, definitely more professional than the police, just hand them over to the police, twenty-six people, plus authorized executives, there are only forty people in total, speed up a bit, two days should be enough."

  "Alright, I'll go and take care of it right away," said Li Xiaoli.

  Quickly flipping through the flawless employee files, Wang Zhēng rubbed his eyebrows and revealed a hint of fatigue: "Chief Secretary Shàng, make a phone call to Wèi Wén-tāo, have him use Jiù-róng's connections to investigate the whereabouts of these three employees, especially this Quality Control Department Manager. I find something suspicious about him, can't quite put my finger on it, just intuition."

  "Alright, Director Wang, your secretary will take care of it."

  "Also, little secret, in a while boss I'll take you around Zhangjiajiang to take a look, see which piece of land is more suitable. Our Jufeng Real Estate's first step will start from this small Jiang city!" Thinking about the real estate industry, Wang Zhen's eyes began to slowly shine with light.

  Wang Zheng refused Li Xiaoli's escort and walked out of the Zhao Li company with Shangguan Shi, but just as they were about to leave the gate in the Maybach 62S, they were blocked by a row of sports cars.

  "What's going on here?" Wang Zhong's mouth curled up in a strange smile: "Young Lady Shangguan, could it be that these people are here for you? A row of supercars, if they were all sold, they might be able to exchange for a large piece of land!"

  In this row of dazzling sports cars, Lamborghini and Porsche are the lowest level, Ferrari has three, and there are two Bugatti Veyron and Aston Martin. Looking at this lineup, it's likely that all the rich second-generation heirs in Zhangjiakou have been mobilized.

  At this time, all the sports car doors slowly opened, and men and women of various dressings walked out from inside, making Wang Zhong look stunned.

  However, Wang Zhong had some impression of the Lamborghini next to him. That night on the highway, he overtook that car, although at the time he didn't think much of it, but now thinking back, the owner of this Lamborghini should have pretty good drifting skills.

  A woman in a tight black leather jacket and pants emerged from the Aston Martin in the middle, her long hair tied up in a ponytail that fell to her waist, her figure showing stunning curves under the leather jacket, but the zipper of her tight-fitting jacket was only pulled up to her chest, revealing a large area of white skin, waves surging, as if about to burst out, deep cleavage making one swallow hard.

  However, what's even more stunning than this woman's figure is her looks. Although she's wearing large sunglasses that cover up half of her face, her high nose and fiery red lips make one wonder endlessly about the beauty hidden beneath the shades.

  Wang Zheng also pushed open the door and got out of the car, smiling and asking: "Gentlemen, I don't know what brings you here?"

  "Are you the one who drove a Maybach on the highway at night and sped up to 280?" The woman with sunglasses said coldly, her lips opening and closing, very sexy.

  "Is it me? Do you want to race?" Wang Zhong finally understood what this group of rich second-generation meant, but this supercar lineup was indeed too powerful.

  "Yes." A faint, almost imperceptible smile flashed across the face of the woman with sunglasses: "In Nanjiang, I, Zhang Miao Miao, haven't met an opponent in a long time."

  Wang Zheng fell silent for a moment before saying, "The match is fine, but you set the conditions. However, I need stakes."
