Chapter 61 Conquering the Magic City
Tingyuxuan is a teahouse here in Rucheng, with elegant decoration and first-class service.
In 2002, people in Rucheng had not yet become rich, so those who came here were either rich or noble.
They talk about love, business, and everything here.
When Chen Yazhi walked in, the welcoming lady greeted him politely and took Chen Yazhi to a private room called Luomei Hall.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Lingling also walked in and stepped into the Luomei Hall.
It can be seen that she has been dressed up carefully. Her twenty-year-old face still has a childish look, her eyes are as bright as stars, her nose is small, but her lips are covered with dark lipstick, which highlights her mature side.
Chen Yazhi said: "Hello, Miss Lingling, what would you like to drink?"
Zhou Lingling seemed a little shy, but she still politely said: "Black tea, Jin Junmei, and a Soviet-style snack."
It seemed that her shyness was not because she had come to such an elegantly decorated place for the first time, but because she was facing Chen Yazhi, an unfamiliar person. Maybe even someone she admired.
Chen Yazhi called the waiter and ordered refreshments.
As soon as Zhou Lingling sat down, she asked: "Mr. Chen, why did you invite me here?" There was some eagerness in her words, but more of expectation.
Chen Yazhi did not answer her directly, but asked: "Tell me, how did Feng Mengrong describe me?"
Zhou Lingling's face turned slightly red and she said, "Just say you are very powerful."
Chen Yazhi was not satisfied with this answer. He wanted to hear a clear and logical answer, not such a general answer that was no different from nonsense.
He asked Zhou Lingling to come over today, not just for a casual chat, but to find a suitable candidate for Zeyun Investment's office in Shanghai.
His selection needs to meet two conditions.
The first, of course, is qualifications. Chen Yazhi is not interested in market experience. He just needs someone who is familiar with financial processes.
Zhou Lingling graduated from Jinling University, and her academic qualifications were sufficient. In 2002, most practitioners in the financial industry were still undergraduates and had not entered the involution mode in the future.
The second is loyalty, which is something Chen Yazhi needs to confirm today. But today is only a preliminary judgment, and more careful observation is needed in the future.
Zhou Lingling said at this time: "Actually, it didn't take me very long to go to Super Mold Factory, it only took a month.
"However, as far as I know, the current route of the factory was set by you, and it is developing smoothly, which shows that you are a person with a long-term vision.
"Secondly, these recent projects in the factory have been obtained through your connections. I think as long as a person's connections are wide, it shows that he is a heroic person and his personality is not too bad."
Chen Yazhi clapped his hands and said, "That's a good answer, but you said a little less."
Zhou Lingling said: "I know, young and promising."
Chen Yazhi was very satisfied with her answer. She was a smart girl, and he began to value this girl in his heart.
Today's conversation will be very interesting.
The waiter brought the refreshments.
Zhou Lingling started eating without any politeness. After the previous conversation, her shyness disappeared and her words and deeds became more generous.
Chen Yazhi watched her eating snacks silently.
Zhou Lingling asked curiously: "Why don't you eat?" Her mouth was full and her speech was slurred, but she looked cute.
Chen Yazhi said: "I don't like sweets. It seems that I picked the right place."
Zhou Lingling said: "Maybe the sweets you eat are not really sweet, but the dim sum here will make you feel really sweet."
Chen Yazhi smiled and said, "Are you telling me a tongue twister?"
But he still picked up a piece of snack and put it in his mouth.
The aroma of sesame instantly overflows, and the sweetness that melts in your mouth is not as greasy as the desserts I have eaten in the past. After the sweetness wears off, the aroma of osmanthus lingers in your mouth for a long time.
Zhou Lingling smiled and looked at Chen Yazhi and said: "This is Dong Tang, created by Dong Xiaowan, one of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai."
Chen Yazhi sighed inwardly, but did not show it on his face. He took a sip of tea and asked, "I heard that you majored in international finance?"
Zhou Lingling said: "I learned this. When I was a sophomore, I also took a second degree in market economics. Oh, I also took the chartered financial analyst certificate."
At this point, his eyes suddenly dimmed and he said faintly: "But my dad doesn't want me to join this industry. She says this industry is too dark."
Chen Yazhi knew his father's concerns. If a beauty like Zhou Lingling entered an investment bank without sacrificing her looks, it would be difficult for her to have a chance of promotion.
Moreover, in a big dyeing vat like an investment bank, it is difficult to maintain an innocent heart.
Chen Yazhi didn't intend to choose her future path for her. He just wanted to make sure this person could be helpful to him in his next step. He asked, "What are your own thoughts?"
Zhou Lingling put down the tea cup in her hand, her eyes suddenly became firm and said: "Of course we still have to go out, this is just a temporary measure."
If you want to go out, that will be easy.
As long as she was not deceived by her, her father would not be able to blame her in the future.
Chen Yazhi asked: "Want to go to the Magic City?"
Zhou Lingling said: "Of course there are challenges and opportunities there."
Very ambitious.
Chen Yazhi likes ambitious people, especially those who are going to work for him next. The ambition must be big enough. He asked: "What do you think of the prospects of Super Mold Factory?"
Zhou Lingling said: "The prospects are not great. The industry will gradually decline in the next twenty years. If there are no special public events, this time may be longer."
Chen Yazhi said nothing, while Zhou Lingling had a strong desire to express herself.
Zhou Lingling continued: "In the future, many people will join the real estate industry, and the Internet will also be a blue ocean. Mr. Chen, if you have extra funds, you might as well invest in these two industries."
This idea shows that Zhou Lingling has a long-term vision. Moreover, she is so courageous that she even started to lobby for investment in these two industries.
Chen Yazhi did not reveal his surprise, but simply said: "Why do you want me to invest in these two industries?"
Zhou Lingling said: "Don't you invite me here just to interview me?" After saying that, she stared at Chen Yazhi with a smile, her smile filled with the pride of seeing through others.
Chen Yazhi said: "Okay, since we are all thousand-year-old foxes, I won't play chat with you anymore. I invited you here to interview you."
Zhou Lingling said: "I am a fox, then you must be a wolf. If you are not a wolf, then you have to be careful, I will swallow you one day."
This naked threat made Chen Yazhi laugh.
If there were several other adults present at this time and heard the conversation between the two, they would definitely laugh. He would definitely feel that these are two people who are overestimating their abilities and are blowing nonsense.
Chen Yazhi said: "I like this statement very much."
"I not only have the cunning of a wolf, but also the speed of a cheetah, the strength of a tiger, the majesty of a lion and the sense of smell of a hyena."
He didn't say the last sentence. If he said this sentence out loud, it would appear to be unreasonable, but if he kept it in his heart, it would be terrible.
Chen Yazhidao: "I have established an investment company and need a reliable person to take care of it for me."
Zhou Lingling said: "I can."
Chen Yazhidao: "But you are too young. And you don't have any work experience. The most important thing is, how can I trust you completely?"
Zhou Lingling said: "If I haven't read it wrong, you are younger than me. As for the issue of trust, I have a way to make you completely trust me."
Chen Yazhi smiled and said: "I really can't refute this reason. In this case, when can you go to the Magic City with me?"
Zhou Lingling said: "You can do it now."
Chen Yazhi said: "Do you have any familiar seniors? I hope you can form a team for me. After all, you can't do it alone."
Zhou Lingling took out a folder from her bag and said, "Mr. Chen, I have actually prepared it for a long time. This is the development strategy I wrote for the company. You can take a look at it first."
Chen Yazhi looked through it and his eyes were attracted by the list of potential companies, including Penguin from Guangzhou and Shenzhen, One Thousand and One Nights from Qiantang, and even real estate industries such as Yida and Yike.
He put down the document calmly, admiring this girl's ability, and at the same time, he suddenly felt alert in his heart.
Zhou Lingling looked at Chen Yazhi expectantly, seeming to stare at his praise.
Chen Yazhi said, "I will pick you up at the Super Mold Factory at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I hope that by then, you will have explained your whereabouts to Feng Mengrong."
Zhou Lingling was slightly disappointed, raised her tea cup and said, "Mr. Chen, let's conquer the Magic City together."
