Sophie never talked much about work matters when she got home.
Therefore, Zhao Dong only knew that the Su family was in the department store business.
Having been operating in Tianzhou for many years, there are many department stores in the city. I don’t know how many of them there are and how their business is.
Zhao Dong asked while driving, "Is this building your family's own property?"
Sophie nodded, "Well, back then, the Su family's business had just started to pick up. My father went against everyone's advice and invested in this building with heavy debts. You don't know that in order to repay the loan for this building, the Su family almost collapsed.
!”
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly, finally knowing how high the lintel of the Su family was.
Most people show off their wealth by saying how many apartments my family has in the city.
Well, Sophie, people can just say that my family has a building in the city!
Zhao Dong could not help but admire this cheap father-in-law whom he had not met yet.
At that time, real estate did not have such a large profit margin, so the accumulated original capital was not used to expand stores, but was used to build buildings.
This kind of courage is nothing today, but it was really not that simple in that era!
He asked curiously, "No one in your family should object to your father's decision now, right?"
Sophie was not without pride, "Objection? This building has increased the value of the Su family hundreds of times in a few decades, and has also made my father one of the richest people in Tianzhou. Who dares to object?"
Zhao Dong couldn't imagine how huge the Su family was back then, but even if it fell to the altar now, I'm afraid it's not something he, a little security guard, could look up to.
Now, he can more or less understand Aunt Mei's mood.
I don’t know how many choices and dangers Su has gone through to be where he is today.
He, an outsider with no qualifications, came to pick peaches casually. No wonder Aunt Mei jumped at the idea.
"You can make more money by speculating in real estate than in industry. It would be better if this building was closer to the city center."
He looked at the surrounding environment and saw that this building was on the edge of the first ring road. If it were closer to the city center, the housing prices would definitely be higher.
Sophie knew something about the situation back then, "How could it be as easy as you said? Just to get this piece of land, almost all of the Su family's wealth was emptied!"
As she spoke, she sighed, "But it's no use. Now the building has been mortgaged to the bank."
"bank?"
"That's right, if this building hadn't been used to mortgage tens of billions, the Su family would have collapsed long ago!"
After saying that, Sophie laughed at herself again, "So, the Su family is not as unattainable as you think. Ever since my father was seriously injured and fell into coma, the Su family has been going downhill. The current assets are not as high as they were at their peak."
One-third of."
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly, even this one third was probably more wealth than he could earn in several lifetimes.
He didn't know how to speak, so he could only comfort him: "I believe in you, and the company's situation will definitely get better."
Sophie rubbed her forehead, "Is it getting better? It's not as easy as you said."
It was obvious that she didn't want to say more, and Zhao Dong didn't ask too many questions.
While we were chatting, the gate of the building was right in front of us.
After the car stopped, Sophie said, "Just wait for me in the car for a while. I'll go up and take care of something and I'll be back soon."
Zhao Dong nodded. In fact, he had already been mentally prepared.
Especially after he learned about the glorious history of the Su family, he also became more aware of the gap between the two.
If he is allowed to appear in the company now, let Sophie introduce him to the company's colleagues in a generous manner.
Regardless of Aunt Mei's attitude, just the spit of everyone can drown him!
How could he, an unknown little security guard, possess a woman like Sophie?
When Zhao Dong thought about it for himself, it seemed like a fantasy, yet such a thing happened to him!
