The leisurely life of the rich start

"Yes, with his current achievements, it may only be a matter of time before he becomes the richest man in Huaguo." Jassy said, "I had a conversation with him three days ago. He is a humble and humorous person, just as the outside world described him. .”

"Very well, if I have the opportunity, I hope to meet him." Bezos said with great interest, "He has done a lot of charity work in China, and we will have a common language on this point."

Jassy said: "Sir, if you wish, I will convey your intention to Mr. Zhang."

"Of course, please extend my greetings to him." Bezos said, "If Mr. Zhang is also curious about space travel, that would be great!"

Jassy said: "Sir, not everyone is as interested in exploring space as you are."

His boss's two biggest hobbies outside of work are charity and space travel.

valley

As early as 2021, Bezos completed his first space trip.

And this fall, he made his second trip to space.

That's why he would say he wasn't on Earth when he asked Jassy a question.

Bezos laughed and said, "Haha, is there anything else interesting?"

"The rest are ordinary things, sir." Jassy said, "However, Director Sox is still trying to expand his influence on the board of directors. My people heard the news, and Sox contacted one after another. Mr. Otis and Mr. Zhang Da of the Black Rock Group in order to obtain the support of these two shareholders, but they have not been successful."

"Don't worry about him, Sox has no ability to shake your position." Bezos said lightly, "If it weren't for the face of his deceased father, I would have kicked him out of the board of directors."

Jassy said hesitantly: "I think so too, but my people have also received news that Director Sox is preparing to persuade Ms. Scott to support him."

Bezos' voice suddenly became a bit bleak: "MacKenzie won't agree to him. She is not interested in the affairs of the group. I still know her about that."

The "Ms. Scott" Jassy refers to and the "Mackenzie" Bezos refers to are actually the same person.

This is a woman whose full name is Mackenzie Scott, who is also Bezos' ex-wife.

Feeling that the boss's mood was getting worse, Jassy quickly changed the topic.

...

After one night, Zhang Da, who was inspecting the Jinlinghui restaurant in Mingda Plaza, received emails from Otis and Jassy one after another.

The content of Otis' email was very simple. He told Zhang Da that Sox contacted him, hoping that he could act as an intermediary to facilitate the dialogue between Sox and Zhang Da.

"Help me decline him."

After simply replying to Otis with his mobile email, Zhang Da opened the email from Jassy.

The current CEO of Amazon told him that Mr. Bezos, the founder of uu reading group, was very happy to see Zhang Da become a shareholder of Amazon Group, and hoped that one day, he could meet Zhang Da in person and talk about the development of Amazon Group, as well as the two hobbies.

In this regard, Zhang Da politely replied an email.

Unexpectedly, only 15 minutes later, he received a reply from Jassy.

"Dear Mr. Zhang, Mr. Bezos is very pleased to get your reply. If it is convenient for you now, he would like to communicate with you by phone."

Zhang Da thought for a while and replied, "No problem!"

He also wanted to hear what the former richest man in the world would chat with him.

By the way, after sending his mobile phone number to the other party, Zhang Da soon received a call from Citigroup.

After he pressed the answer button, a gentle voice came out of the phone: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, this is Bezos."

"Hi, Mr. Bezos, I'm Zhang Da."

Bezos laughed: "I should have contacted you earlier, but unfortunately I just finished my space trip at the end of last month."

Zhang Da: "..."

This "question" seems a bit out of line.

Chapter 435 The Poison That Eats Ashes

"I think the joy of life lies in constantly exploring unknown territories, and space is the broadest and least known realm."

On the phone, Bezos talked about his space travel with Zhang Da with relish, "You may think that what you can see in space is just a desert, but in my eyes, space is full of people. vitality.

Even a meteorite floating in space, or the most bleak satellite, is the most unique scenery.

And looking at the blue star and our home in space is an unprecedented experience. "

"I admire your desire to explore and your courage to go into space." Zhang Da laughed. "To be honest, I'm currently exploring the sky above you. Although it's not as high as space, it's also very interesting."

"Of course, there is no such thing as good or bad hobbies!" Bezos said, "Can you fly the plane yourself?"

"Yes, helicopter. I just got my flight certificate this year." Zhang Da said, "For this reason, I even overcame the fear of skydiving."

"Haha, I hope I will have the opportunity to ride in the helicopter you pilot." Bezos laughed. "In return, I will invite you into my spaceship. Of course, just visit, unless you are willing to go to space."

"I have only experienced the feeling of space in dreams and VR movies." Zhang Da joked, "If one day I am ready, I will contact you."

"Haha, then you have to hurry up, after all, time is not forgiving." Bezos said, "Look, I will soon have to celebrate my 60th birthday."

Zhang Da said: "Age is just on the surface, I can feel that your heart is still young."

"Yes, I'm still young at heart!" Bezos agreed, "Hell, it looks like we'll have a lot in common, and I look forward to meeting you.

How about it, next summer, I will come to Shanghai to visit, and then we will meet up, how about it? "

Zhang Da immediately said: "I'm so happy, Mr. Bezos."

The first communication with Bezos made him feel very relaxed.

He is also willing to have more exchanges with the other party.

Bezos laughed and said, "Great, then it's a deal!"

The two chatted for nearly half an hour before ending the call.

With an empty stomach, Zhang Da put away his phone and walked into the kitchen in a casual manner.

Chef Hou who was instructing his disciples asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, you seem to be in a good mood?"

"Yes, I met a new friend." Zhang Da joked, "I said Master Hou, you invited me to try the dishes, why are you still sitting on Diaoyutai?"

"You come to inspect every three days, and you have eaten up the few new dishes that I have researched over the past year." Chef Hou said, "Let the apprentices take charge of the cooking today, and give you a change of taste."

"It makes sense." Zhang Da nodded, and said, "Master Hou, shall we sit out for a while?"

"Ok."

Chef Hou nodded and followed Zhang Da out of the kitchen.

"In January, the shopping mall will officially open to the public, and our restaurant will naturally open at that time." Zhang Da said after sitting down, "I heard that Chef Xinrongji and Bobana have prepared tastings for the opening. Yes, do you think we want to have some activities as well?"

"Opening activities..." Chef Hou pondered, "There are still two months before the opening of the restaurant, so there is plenty of time. But, what kind of activities do you think we should prepare? Tasting meetings can be held, but the time It’s best to stagger with Xinrongji.”

Gu Yu and Zhang Da asked: "What do you think of us holding a joint tasting with Xinrongji? Zhejiang cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine have many similarities, and the opening of the tasting together complements each other."

"Your idea is very good. As long as Xinrongji doesn't object, I have no objection." Chef Hou said, "I'm thinking, if we hold a tasting meeting with Xinrongji, it's better to take Liyuan as well. Pull it in and let Cantonese cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine blend together, what do you think?"

Zhang Da nodded and said: "Yes, I will be in charge of communicating with Li Yuan and Xin Rong Ji."

"If you are willing to come forward, it would be great!" Chef Hou said with a smile, "They will definitely not refute your face!"

...

Several restaurants in the mall are actively preparing for opening.

A lot of luxury brands will naturally not be idle.

Hermès has arranged their two-story store early, and well-known watch brands such as Patek Philippe and Rolex have also transferred a batch of goods from the European headquarters to ensure that the variety is complete on the opening day.

In the office area on the top floor of the shopping mall, Qian Chen reported to Zhang Dahui:

"Mr. Zhang, after the opening, we will launch a one-week discount event for the entire store. Now we have coordinated with the merchants. Both of us will each bear 50% of the discount amount.

In addition, the small square outside the main entrance of the shopping mall has been prepared for the opening, but there is still a symbolic display in the center of the small square. I am going to move the logo of our Mingda Group here. What do you think? "

Zhang Da asked: "In the middle of the square... you mean the small ring that looks like a parking space?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang." Qian Chen said with a smile, "Your metaphor is very apt, it is indeed a bit like a parking space."

"Then this matter will be easy to handle. Since it looks like a parking space, let's park the car and get on it." Zhang Da laughed.

"No problem, Mr. Zhang." Qian Chen immediately agreed, "However, please take out a rarer car, the rarer the better."

Zhang Da smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, it's limited to 12 units worldwide."

Afterwards, he called Zhou Geng.

An hour and a half later, Zhou Geng opened Zhang Da's poison to the small square.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, I saw that the car was a little dusty, so I went to clean it first, so I wasted some time."

Seeing the boss waiting in the square, Zhou Geng hurriedly explained after getting off the car.

"Master Zhou, this is my problem. I haven't driven this car for more than half a year." Zhang Da said with a smile, "Thanks to your carefulness, you helped me solve a big problem."

Zhou Geng bowed his body and said, "Boss Zhang, you are too serious!"

Qian Chen blinked and said, "Mr. Zhang, so you said that the car is eating ashes at home, but it is really eating ashes at home!"

"Then why not..." Zhang Da said helplessly, "Unknowingly, sports cars seem to have lost their appeal to me."

"With this poison car as a facade, it will definitely attract many people to check in!" Qian Chen directed his colleagues to find cloth to cover the car, and said with a smile, "Mr. If you can’t buy something, you can also lend us a prestige?”

Chapter 436 The Helicopter Needs a Home

After leaving his own shopping mall, Zhang Da drove to a newly built high-end villa complex in Ningjiang District.

This villa was recommended to him by Chen Bing. The most attractive thing about this villa real estate is that the villa here is equipped with an apron.

In a few months, his Airbus as365 n3+ helicopter will arrive.

Thinking that his helicopter might be parked in a public airport in the future, Zhang Da felt a little troubled.

After all, in this era of equal rights, everything must be equal.

Why can poison and Cullinan live in "private parking garages", but Airbus helicopters have to live in public dormitories?

In case the helicopter scolds "the air is shaking and cold" and has some flying accidents in the air, things will be a big deal.

After much deliberation, Zhang Da decided to find a warm home for his new car.

At this time, Chen Bing, who was still serving as the president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Jinling Head Office, was waiting for him outside the sales office.

Standing with him was a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

Seeing Zhang Da's Cullinan approaching, Chen Bing quickly waved and said, "Mr. Zhang, we are here!"

Zhang Da also saw Chen Bing and the two of them. He parked the car in the open parking space and stepped out of the car.

Looking at the two Chen Bing who had come forward, Zhang Da smiled and nodded: "Bing brother."

"Mr. Zhang, hello!" Chen Bing followed his usual address to Zhang Da, "The person next to me is the general manager of the sales department of Qingting Shangyuan, Liu Cong."

Liu Cong smiled eagerly, bowed to Zhang Da and said, "Mr. Zhang!"

"Hello." Zhang Da looked at the closed door and the empty sales office, and asked, "Is there no one else coming to see the house today?"

"It's like this, Mr. Zhang, our real estate has not been officially launched for sale." Liu Cong explained, "This time, President Chen told us that an important client wanted to come to see the house, so we came here."

"So that's how it is." Zhang Da said, "Bingge, Manager Liu, please forgive me."

"Where, where." Liu Cong said repeatedly, "Your name has long been heard, if you are willing to become the owner of our Qingting·Shangyuan Villa, it will be an honor for everyone in our sales department."

Chen Bing smiled, pointed to the sales office and said, "Mr. Zhang, let's go in and talk."

"Yes, yes, let's sit down and talk slowly." Liu Cong nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang, please!"

...

"Our Qingting·Shangyuan Villa focuses on the concept of 'courtyard'. The word 'Qingting' refers to a courtyard covered by lush vegetation." In front of the desk, Liu Cong pointed to the The garden model of the villa said, "Every villa here has a different garden view in the courtyard.

There are 18 villas in our real estate. The indoor area of ​​the standard unit is 580 square meters.

The largest unit type also has a basement floor and three floors above the ground, with a total area of ​​more than 720 square meters. As for the supporting courtyard, the area has reached 1000 square meters. "

Zhang Da nodded and asked, "Are all the villas here equipped with helipads?"
