Consumer male god - Chapter 223: Buying a top-level house for nothing

The serious cocktail party only lasted until 10:30.

Han Lie did not attend the second half of the not-so-serious cocktail party. Anyway, before leaving, he saw Lao Zhang going upstairs with a model in his arms.

There is a lounge upstairs at Huangpu Club. Lao Zhang may just want to sober up. As men, we should give full understanding because Pan Zi also went up, alas…

Brother Lie shook his head, feeling that his upright self was out of tune with these old men.

Forget it, leave with a clear conscience!

As soon as they left the hall, Yuexiu and Lu Shuli bumped into each other.

“Mr. Han, are you going back?”

“Yeah.” Han Lie nodded, looked at the reddish faces of the two of them, and casually asked, “How are you doing? You didn’t drink too much, did you?”

“I’m okay.”

Lu Shuli’s eyes were clear.

“I’m fine too.”

Yuexiu hurriedly followed.

Brother Lie nodded slightly: “Okay, I’ll withdraw, and you guys should go home early.”

“good.”

The two beauties were very well-behaved and did not make any indecent demands to be treated – of course, maybe it was because they happened to be together.

If they didn’t mention it, it would be even less likely that Han Lie would take the initiative to mention it.

There are limits to being courteous.

Is there any benefit to being courteous to a pair of best friends at the same time?

At the same time, it is even more thankless to be courteous to a pair of fake sisters who appear to be best friends but are actually emotionally plastic.

The correct approach is to neglect one and warm to the other.

But they are both beauties of the same level, so it’s hard to make a choice, so it’s better to treat them both coldly.

At least he can’t be too proactive.

However, when Han Lie was about to leave, Liang Wu who was standing by suddenly made a suggestion: “Boss, this location is not easy to take a taxi. Can I give them a ride later?”

With a “swish” sound, the two girls raised their heads at the same time, their eyes showing anticipation.

Brother Lie was moved in his heart, but he did not agree directly. Instead, he asked: “Is there a seat in the car?”

Liang Wu replied calmly: “I didn’t drink. I can drive. Ask Cheng Shi to go back by himself. I can just sit down.”

“Yeah, okay.”

Brother Lie nodded coldly, then smiled at them: “Let’s go, I’ll take you back.”

Lu Shuli and Yuexiu ignored their reservations and hurriedly agreed: “Okay, let’s go get the things.”

The group came to the parking lot. Cheng Shi got out of the car with a confused look on his face and watched Liang Wu get into his driving seat.

“Brother Cheng, I’m sorry. Come to me tomorrow with the receipt to sign.”

“Okay, Liang Zhu.”

Cheng Shi was extremely depressed, but he could only nod respectfully, seeing clearly who Xiao Wang was.

Han Lie sat in the passenger seat and watched this scene with appreciation.

Liang Wu’s little suggestion was at least killing three birds with one stone.

First of all, she said something that was not convenient for Han Lie to say, creating an opportunity for the boss to continue to have contact with the two beauties and chat with peace of mind.

Her suggestion and Han Lie’s initiative were two completely different things.

Secondly, she easily knocked down the driver Cheng Shi, establishing her authority and drawing a clear line – I am the first person in charge of serving the boss, and you are just my subordinate.

If anything happens in the future, please report to me frequently, otherwise I will tell you to get out in a minute.

In the end, she once again showed her emotional intelligence and ability to Han Lie, and she was considerate and considerate.

The whole night, she had no sense of presence.

Just a few words before leaving, and the indispensable attributes were immediately filled up.

Monthly salary of 50,000?

I’m just asking you if it’s worth it!

Anyway, Brother Lie thought it was so valuable that he even wanted to keep her by his side forever.

Eye-catching and comforting, the best of the best.

Lu Shuli and Yuexiu didn’t realize so many twists and turns, but they just felt that Liang Wuren was particularly good.

So you see, there is a gap between cleverness and smartness.

“Mr. Han, how do we leave?”

Liang Wu fastened her seat belt and started building a ladder for her boss again.

Han Lie felt relieved and replied with a smile: “Let’s send them off first. Lili Yueyue, please hurry up and discuss it.”

Yue Xiu and Lu Shuli immediately looked at each other, and then Lu Shuli took the initiative to invite: “Yue Yue, is your dormitory closing soon? How about staying at my place?”

All of Yuexiu’s little thoughts were immediately blocked.

No one knows what Yuexiu is thinking, but she smiles very gracefully on the surface: “I won’t trouble you too much, right?”

“How could it be! We are sisters~~~”

Good sister, I thank you for eight generations of ancestors!

Yuexiu nodded slightly: “Okay, then I’m not welcome.”

Lu Shuli smiled happily and immediately informed Liang Wu of the location.

Her rental house is not far from Huangpu Club. Driving slowly, 15 minutes is just right.

Along the way, Han Lie had a brief chat with them. The content was not profound and did not involve privacy, but the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.

Straight men may not understand what the point of this is.

When there are people of the opposite sex who meet at work, every contact in private is meaningful.

Simply put, it is to dispel the sense of distance in the work atmosphere.

If you don’t take the initiative to break the ice, good girls will have to remain reserved and won’t come to you if they have any problems in private – the exception is the queen who keeps a spare tire.

So some straight men have a great time chatting with their female colleagues at work. They always feel that we have a very good relationship. I hope the relationship is strong, don’t be in a hurry, let’s see!

Then after work, I would stay on my computer and cell phone. Half a year later, I suddenly discovered that my female colleague had found a boyfriend, and I was immediately confused.

What’s going on?

How could she be such an aunt?

play me?

Such confident young people deserve to be single purely based on their ability.

You know, no matter how good the conversation is at work and no matter how many jokes you make, it only means that you are a “pretty interesting colleague.”

If you don’t move your relationship forward in private time and private situations, it will ultimately be in vain.

It’s useless if there is real ambiguity. The ambiguity in the company is fake, and the ambiguity in the chat software is even more useless.

Ten thousand words of flirtation in VX are not as good as hugging her waist and taking a bite in person.

If she doesn’t get really angry after nibbling, feel free to go even further!

Okay, that’s the end of the small class, see you in the court…

Lu Shuli and Yuexiu got off the bus at the intersection of Shengping Street. Han Lie looked at the dark neighborhood and took the initiative to follow them, seeing them off for a while.

“It’s too much trouble for you, Mr. Han.”

“Call me Han Lie in private, we are friends.”

My good friend Han Lie was so gentlemanly that he stayed with the two girls, at least one meter apart.

Lu Shuli hated Yuexiu so much. If she hadn’t been in the way, she should have held her arm with brother lie.

“Annoying spirit!”

Yuexiu was also very fed up. If Lu Shuli hadn’t dragged her along, she could have stayed in a hotel room for one night and had more private contact with Han Lie.

“Nosy guy!”

In fact, neither of the two beauties planned to have anything happen to Han Lie and become his mistresses.

They just wanted to develop a personal relationship with Han Lie and become true friends.

For this reason, a little ambiguity is an acceptable price.

But, they were on guard against each other, but no one found a chance, which was very sad…

Nothing worth mentioning happened on the way. The public security in the capital was not just a boast. They arrived home safely and Han Lie said goodbye easily.

The meat in the pot is not in a hurry to stew.

After returning to the car, Liang Wu suddenly couldn’t help laughing: “They are really interesting.”

“yes.”

Han Lie nodded. He became more and more relaxed and real in front of Liang Wu.

Because Liang Wu is a vine in the true sense, it is completely impossible to grow up alone without him, and she is currently the most trustworthy assistant.

I am extremely lucky to have this assistant.

Assistant Liang continued to flatter each other: “The boss’s magic power is too great. They must know that they have no chance, but they still can’t help but hold each other back. I watched from the side and followed suit.”

Comfortable!

Brother Lie slightly curled his lips, adjusted his seat, lay back, and closed his eyes.

“Let’s go back to the hotel.”

Liang Wu immediately straightened her appearance: “Want to go to Maoyue on the Bund?”

“How’s the talk going?”

“It’s not ideal.” Liang Wu shook her head. “The price is very high, and the decoration of the presidential suite itself is also very old-fashioned, but the view is perfect. The top-floor bar and Chinese food are great. It’s the kind of hotel with outstanding advantages and disadvantages.”

Han Lie thought for a while and decided to go and see for himself.

“Let’s go, take me to see it, and try to make a decision today.”

So in the middle of the night, Brother Lie really took his assistant to choose a hotel…

When I arrived at Maoyue, I saw that Liang Wu was very objective. The decoration style of the presidential suite was really… hard to describe.

Even though Han Lie’s mental age is in his 30s, he still doesn’t like it.

It seems to be a hotel opened in 0607, right?

How can it be so old-fashioned?

However, their service and scenery are really impeccable. From the front desk to the floors to the private management, everything is so refreshing.

“If you only come here for the 270-degree river view and service, Moyue is a great value for money.”

Brother Lie and the assistant commented, turned and left.

Next, there is only one choice left in the North Bund – Banyan Tree.

Compared with Maoyue, Banyan Tree is a dwarf.

It only has 13 floors, but the quiet attribute points are full.

Han Lie walked in and asked directly about the presidential suite. The decoration was very good.

Dark golden lights, gray and white carpets, the colors are very warm, and the details are extremely textured.

The 300-square-meter suite is not as big as the Ritz-Carlton, and the luxury is not as strong as the Ritz-Carlton, but the comfort level for long-term stays is much better.

The swimming pool, conference room, and spa center are all very nice, and the rooftop terrace bar is perfect, currently the best in Shanghai.

“Okay, this is it!”

Brother Lie was very satisfied. Manager Liang immediately called the hotel general manager to start negotiating the price.

For the presidential suite, you can negotiate the price for a single night stay.

In later generations, some Internet celebrities spent the official listed price when shooting experience videos. That was because they did not have enough status.

In fact, there are discounts for celebrities and business leaders who stay temporarily.

Han Lie is not famous enough, but he is a lifelong ambassador of the Marriott Group. This status alone gives him a lot of bargaining space, not to mention that he is now applying for a long-term stay.

The assistant was confident, so he was very aggressive in bargaining.

“Don’t brag about your points to me. Your Banyan Tree Group currently only has two hotels in China, and internationally it is far lower than Marriott. What are the uses of points?

Our boss plans to stay for a long time, and I need a reasonable price and the highest level of substantive respect, not just verbal perfunctory! “

“But our presidential suite in Banyan Tree Village has never been difficult to sell. Last year’s retail sales were close to 30 million, but you only gave us 18 million. Really…”

“Mr. Xie, do you dare to let me take a look at the financial statements? If there are really 30 million, I will pay according to the listed price!

And can the nature of long-term residence and retail be the same?

Do you think my boss is young and doesn’t know how to do it?

A deceptive attitude is only suitable for one-shot transactions. You are in the service industry, don’t you understand this? “

Hotel general manager Xie Rong was beaten like a machine gun by his assistant for 10 minutes before finally retreating.

The final price given was 20 million per year.

It’s much more expensive than Marriott, and of course, the class is also much higher.

Under normal circumstances, the total annual retail occupancy fee for the Banyan Tree Presidential Suite on the Bund is more than 20 million, almost 2,400, but these are two different concepts.

On the one hand, retail means instability; on the other hand, it means nearly 40% vacancy period.

During the vacancy period, not only did the personal butler team in the presidential suite have no service fees to charge, but the rest of the hotel’s facilities also lacked the consumption of a major customer.

Therefore, 20 million for a wealthy person to live in a house for a long time is more valuable than 24 million for retail.

If the consumption of food, drinks, entertainment, conferences and dinners can be completely fixed, the former may be more than twice as much as the latter, with no upper limit.

Therefore, Brother Lie is now a major benefactor of Banyan Tree.

“Happy to work with!”

After the negotiation was concluded, Xie Rong smiled like a chrysanthemum, took Han Lie’s right hand and shook it violently.

“I’ll sign the contract at noon tomorrow, please be ready.”

“No problem, no problem!”

Until Liang Wu took Han Lie away, Mr. Xie and his personal butler team were still standing at the door of the hotel like a pile of looking-stones, refusing to leave for a long time…

The next morning, the finance department paid 4 million for renting a house to Han Lie’s Shanghai Pudong Development Bank special card for renting a house.

Han Lie doesn’t have to worry about how to report the accounts. Anyway, the money is allocated to the company’s operating costs.

Well, it’s more expensive than the rent of Tama Company’s office building…

After Han Lie received the money, he took Lu Shuli and Liang Wu to Banyan Tree again at noon. Xiao Lu reviewed the contract and Han Lie signed and paid the money.

A total of 20 million was swiped out in Liang Wu’s puzzled and Lu Shuli’s frightened eyes.

The one-year right to use the Banyan Tree Presidential Suite belongs to Brother Lie.

But in fact, Han Lie didn’t spend a penny.

80% came from the system, and the other 20% came from the company. Brother Lie picked up a presidential suite for free.

Of course, after spending this money, there will be neither experience nor any system critical hits.

Brother Lie still feels a bit at a loss…

At noon, we ate directly at the Haiyi Western Restaurant on the first floor. The chef is not a famous Michelin star chef, but he works very hard.

The restaurant’s normal three-course set menu costs 198 yuan, which is not high-end enough and focuses on cost-effectiveness.

Well, the price/performance ratio is really good, I suggest you try it if you have the opportunity.

Of course, Brother Lie is not a person who cares about cost-effectiveness, and Mr. Xie is even less likely to use cost-effectiveness to entertain the benefactor’s father.

The level is not good enough, so I have to scrape together the ingredients.

Caviar, gooseneck barnacles, extra large sweet shrimps, Chiba abalone, Italian white truffles…

If Han Lie hadn’t insisted on not drinking, Lao Xie would have opened another bottle of 1992 Romanée-Conti.

However, the bottle of wine was not spared. Lao Xie took the initiative to give the wine to Leff, his personal butler, and asked him to keep it safe for Han Lie so that he could drink it at any time.

Not only this bottle of wine, in fact, Banyan Tree prepared an entire wine cabinet for Han Lie, with just 888,800 yuan of various drinks as part of the welcome gift.

Really, a Chinese should be the general manager, he is so good at managing things.

Well, I am definitely not at a loss.

If wine is sold for RMB 888,800 in a hotel, everyone should know the actual purchase price.

Anyway, the cards are enough, and nothing else matters.

In the afternoon, I went back to the company to continue working and observed the market with a small amount of 579.8 million yuan.

In fact, there were some opportunities in today’s trading, but the funds that could be accommodated were not much, so Han Lie did not act rashly.

The biggest advantage of private equity over public equity is that private equity can short positions at will.

If the public offering fails, the minimum position of a stock-type public offering fund is 80%. If it falls to death, you still have to guarantee your position. You have to cry after covering up your position.

Therefore, in a bear market, it is normal for the net value of public funds to fall by 90%, but it is amazing for private funds to lose 90%.

And in 22 years, this magical thing happened more than four times…

Ahem, that’s too far off topic. Anyway, Han Lie is a man who can endure loneliness and would rather go short.

It lasted until 3 o’clock sharp. The hot spots on the board were scattered and the continuity was extremely poor. Brother Lie decided to get off work early.

Just as I packed my things, Second Sister Jin suddenly called me.

“Lie, do you have any plans for the evening? Old Wu and his wife would like to treat you to a meal!”

Han Lie didn’t want to go.

It’s easy to guess what Wu Qilong was thinking. He was probably jealous of Zhongcheng’s profits and wanted to entrust Han Lie to manage part of his wealth.

But Brother Lie didn’t want to take his money.

From a utilitarian point of view, this old man is of no use to him.

But before he could refuse, Second Sister Jin said again: “Come on! Something good will happen!”

Han Lie didn’t think about what good things could happen there, but he decided to go and have a look.

When it comes to socializing, who should you accompany?

Liang Wu was still driving, and Han Lie arrived at a very secluded private club as invited.
