Scumbag God, I can see the entry of desire.

That night.

The lanterns are on.

The banquet hall of the Truman Five-Star Hotel was brightly lit and bustling with people. A grand business reception was being held here.

Lin Lang accompanied Chu Yiren into the venue, where they saw wealthy businessmen and celebrities from all walks of life gathered together. They were all dressed in formal attire and brought with them their female companions in gorgeous clothes.

Holding exquisite red wine glasses, people gracefully shuttled among the crowd, or gathered in twos and threes to chat and laugh, discussing the changing circumstances in the business world; or looking for partners to expand their network resources.

Since Chu Yiren is the new chairman of the Truman Group, she has a prominent status as a female tycoon worth hundreds of billions from a wealthy Shanghai business family, and naturally attracted a lot of attention.

CEOs of major companies kept coming forward to toast Chu Yiren, expressing their respect, and taking the opportunity to exchange a few words and greet each other.

As Chu Yiren's male companion, Lin Lang wore a double-breasted white suit, with an upright posture and elegant demeanor. He actually made the domineering female tycoon Chu Yiren, who was worth hundreds of billions of yuan, look very petite, and they were as eye-catching as a pair of golden boy and jade girl.

One is a top-notch pretty boy who is so handsome that it takes your breath away, and the other is a female boss who possesses endless wealth and power. As soon as the handsome man and beautiful woman appear on the stage, they become the focus of the whole audience.

Today, Chu Yiren is wearing a black cloak-style suit, which is exquisitely tailored with smooth lines, perfectly outlining her tall and slender figure, showing her temperament as a domineering female chaebol to the fullest.

The cool makeup on Chu Yiren's face, her snow-white skin and bright lipstick further highlight her cold and unapproachable personality.

Chu Yiren was seen holding the red wine glass in a cold and arrogant manner, with her beautiful little face raised and her eyebrows lowered. She looked so arrogant and gave off an aura of majesty that the whole world belonged to the king.

At this moment, Chu Yiren was like the third-generation beautiful tycoon who dominated the beach, overlooking everything below her feet.

It is said that wealth cannot last for more than three generations. When it comes to Chu Yiren's generation, it seems that the huge business empire of the Chu Group will continue to expand because of her domineering personality.

Chu Yiren held the red wine glass elegantly in one hand and held Lin Lang's arm intimately with the other hand. She smiled and said, "Isn't it boring to accompany me to this kind of business social event?"

Lin Lang replied truthfully: "This kind of upper-class socializing is quite boring."

"Everyone is talking about China's joining the WTO, Haikou City abolishing Huangpu District and Nanshi District and establishing a new Huangpu District, etc. It's hard not to feel sleepy."

Chu Yiren replied: "These are all business opportunities!"

Lin Lang took a sip of red wine and said elegantly and handsomely: "Since I'm here, as an angel investor with a keen eye for business opportunities, I naturally can't miss the opportunity to make money from venture capital."

Chu Yiren said, "I downloaded the Penguin QQ instant messaging software that you invested in online this afternoon and registered a QQ account. Please add me as your friend later, and we can chat on QQ when we are free."

Lin Lang replied sweetly: "Okay! Sister Yiren has registered to use QQ, it is really a great honor for our Penguin company!"

Chu Yiren raised her glass with a smile and said, "Come, I wish you a great success for Penguin QQ!"

"cheers!"

Lin Lang and Chu Yiren clinked their glasses with smiles and took a big sip of red wine. The two of them were close to each other and showed off their love at a business cocktail party. It was really unique.

Because it was a cocktail party hosted by the Lihai Chamber of Commerce, the purpose was to attract investment for Lihai City, recruit students and funds for construction, so many wealthy businessmen from other places came to the cocktail party to look for opportunities in Lihai City.

Wang Jianlin, who was in his forties, slowly walked towards Chu Yiren and Lin Lang, who were leaning on each other, holding a red wine glass, and greeted them with a big smile: "Hello, President Chu!"

Lin Lang glanced sideways when he heard the voice and saw that the person coming was actually Wang Jianlin, the future richest man in Xia country.

It is worth mentioning that in that year Wang Jianlin’s son Wang Sicong was still a naughty kid who was only 12 years old.

Chu Yiren looked at the unfamiliar Wang Jianlin and asked tentatively, "Who are you?"

Wang Jianlin narrowed his eyes and replied with a smile: "My name is Wang Jianlin, and I am the chairman of Dalian Wanda Real Estate. I have had business dealings with your father."

After hearing this, Chu Yiren shook hands with Wang Jianlin and said, "Nice to meet you!"

Wang Jianlin pretended to be sad and said, "I was shocked to hear the tragic news of your father's unexpected death. I am deeply saddened! Your father's passing is a great loss to the entire Haihai business community!"

Chu Yiren felt a dull pain in her heart after hearing this, but she replied expressionlessly: "Since Director Wang is my father's friend, we may have a chance to invest in projects together and make a fortune in the future."

Wang Jianlin narrowed his eyes and smiled, raising his glass and said, "It is a great honor for Wanda to be able to cooperate with your company. We look forward to actively cooperating with the Truman Group."

Chu Yiren politely held up the red wine glass and took a sip of the wine as a gesture.

Then, Wang Jianlin changed the subject and looked at Chu Yiren's male companion Lin Lang, and asked tentatively: "Who is this elegant gentleman?"

Chu Yiren introduced with a smile: "This is Lin Lang, the chairman of Penguin Internet Company in Shenzhen City, and also my boyfriend."

Wang Jianlin's eyes flashed with surprise, but he soon regained his smile. He extended his hand towards Lin Lang and said respectfully, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lin!"

Lin Lang politely shook Wang Jianlin's hand and replied politely, "Hello, Mr. Wang!"

Wang Jianlin complimented: "Director Lin is so handsome and heroic, he is a perfect match for Chairman Chu!"

Lin Lang greeted, "No, no, no! Director Wang, you are too kind!"

After a brief greeting.

Wang Jianlin turned the topic to Chu Yiren again and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, our Wanda Real Estate is engaged in residential development, and your Chumen Group specializes in commercial real estate projects."

"This time, Lin came to Yihai to attend this business reception because he has a Wanda Plaza project in his hands. He hopes to discuss cooperation with your company and jointly invest in the development of the Wanda Plaza commercial real estate project in Yihai City."

Lin Lang's eyes lit up after hearing this, because the opportunity to make money had come.

Chu Yiren asked, "I wonder what the commercial project of Wanda Plaza, Mr. Wang, mainly covers?"

Wang Jianlin replied: "Wanda Plaza includes a large commercial center, integrating shopping, catering, culture, entertainment and other functions."

Chu Yiren was very interested after hearing this, so she asked, "What is the business model of Wanda Plaza Commercial Center?"

Wang Jianlin replied: "We will adopt a single-store investment model, with one business format set up on each floor. We will introduce well-known brands such as Walmart to drive sales of other stores. The business format and profit model are relatively simple."

Chu Yiren continued to ask: "Director Wang, can you explain it in more detail?"

After listening to this, Wang Jianlin began to explain in detail the business model of the first generation of Wanda Plaza.

It is probably the first generation of Wanda, which is simply a pure commercial box-style single store.

The area of ​​a single floor ranges from 5000 to 4 square meters, and there are generally 3 floors above ground, with a total area ranging from 5 to square meters. The first floor is divided into sales areas, the second and third floors are standardly equipped with Walmart supermarkets, and the fourth floor is standardly equipped with Wanda Cinema + Big Player Video Games, plus some restaurants.

After hearing this, Lin Lang thought to himself, “This was the simple business model of the first generation of Wanda. It was not until the second generation of Wanda Plaza, many years later, that commercial combination stores appeared, adding a variety of business formats and brand stores such as city pedestrian streets, five-star hotels, office buildings, and apartments.”

To put it bluntly, Wang Jianlin is still very young and his business acumen has not been fully developed.

Chu Yiren became very interested after hearing this. With her amazing business acumen, she saw through the shortcomings of the first generation of Wanda after a brief understanding.

So Chu Yiren replied, "Mr. Wang, the advantage of your Wanda Plaza is that the business plan is simple and can be quickly replicated. But the disadvantage is that it is difficult to support the cash flow of Wanda's rapid chain development by selling only the shops on the first floor."

"That's why Director Wang gave up his profitable projects and asked our Truman Group to invest in them, right?"

Wang Jianlin exclaimed after hearing this: "A tiger father will have a dog daughter!"

"The daughter of Mr. Chu, a Shanghai businessman, understood the shortcomings of our Wanda Plaza business model with just a few words. She is indeed not an ordinary person."

"Mr. Wang, you are too kind!" Chu Yiren pursed her lips.

Wang Jianlin asked tentatively: "Regarding the project of investing in and building Wanda Plaza in Shanghai, I wonder if the Truman Group is interested in participating in the cooperation?"

After hearing this, Chu Yiren deliberately looked at Lin Lang and asked in a testing manner: "My angel investor boyfriend, you understand venture capital, let me hear your advice.

Lin Lang held the red wine glass handsomely and replied confidently and elegantly: "Based on the current investment scale of Wanda Commercial Box-style single stores, Shanghai Wanda Plaza plans to invest 500 million Chinese Yuan."

"With only 500 million Chinese Yuan, it is not difficult for Director Wang to attract venture capital financing. The reason why he gave up his own profits to the Truman Group to seek cooperation and jointly invest in the Wanda Plaza in Haikou is because he was attracted by the commercial land owned by the Truman Group."

After hearing this, Chu Yiren nodded in agreement.

Wang Jianlin narrowed his eyes and smiled, complimenting, "It seems that Director Chu's boyfriend is not simple! He can see at a glance the purpose of Lin's trip to Haihai to attend the business reception."

"That's right!"

"Whenever there is a land auction in Hai City, all the high-quality commercial land, as long as it is the land that the Truman Group wants, other real estate developers basically dare not compete for it, and even if they compete, they will not be able to get it."

"The commercial locations of our Wanda Plazas are all in the core areas of the city's prosperity. If we want to get the best land in the land auction in Haikou, the possibility of Truman Group giving up the land is basically zero."

Chu Yiren held the red wine glass elegantly and said proudly: "Chang Hai is the Chang Hai of our Chu family."

"With our Chu family, a wealthy family with three generations of Shanghai business tycoons occupying the powerful connections in Changhai, the commercial development rights of the core plots of Changhai City will never be allowed to be involved by others."

Lin Lang smiled and said, "So, Mr. Wang wants to jointly invest with the Truman Group to build the Wanda Plaza in Longhai, not only because the Truman Group has strong financial resources, but also because the Truman Group has the core commercial land in Longhai City."

After hearing this, Wang Jianlin exclaimed: "Director Lin is definitely not an ordinary person!"

"If Director Lin and Director Chu go from being boyfriend and girlfriend to getting married, I'm afraid that every penny dropped in Hai City will belong to you chaebol couple."

Lin Lang smiled slightly and said, "Director Wang, you are too serious."

Chu Yiren looked at Lin Lang with admiration and asked, "Dear, tell me! Do you want to invest in the Wanda Plaza project in Changhai City?"
