Chapter 68 Light Industry Investment
Chapter 68 Light Industry Investment
For this trip, Xiaoya chose a ticket from Shanghai Airlines, in first class, of course.
Having not left Shenzhen for a long time, Chen Jiang was a little excited about the occasional trip to Shanghai.
After successfully meeting up with Xiaoya, Chen Jiang's first glance fell on her outfit. As the weather grew colder, Xiaoya no longer wore her usual office lady suit. Instead, she wore a women's trench coat, paired with ankle boots and glamorous makeup, which made her look quite imposing.
Unfortunately, her goddess-like demeanor crumbled the moment she saw Chen Jiang. She jogged over, a smile spreading across her red lips, and her form of address had changed:
"Boss, you're going to be staying in Shanghai for at least a few days this time, why didn't you bring anything?"
"I've brought everything I need..." Chen Jiang asked, puzzled, touching his coat and rummaging through his pockets. "My phone, ID card, bank cards... is there anything else I absolutely need?"
"I meant a change of clothes~~" Xiaoya sighed.
Chen Jiang suddenly realized:
"Ah, it's okay, we can just buy it in Shanghai."
Xiaoya was helpless:
"Alright... it's your decision."
"Let's set off then. This flight should be on time."
"Okay, let's go."
Chen Jiang nodded, turned and walked towards the VIP waiting room, completely ignoring her thoughts.
Xiaoya could only mutter to herself as she tried to catch up with him, carrying her suitcase and running quickly.
But this person walked incredibly fast, and it wasn't until we reached the VIP room that I finally managed to catch up.
After waiting in the VIP lounge for about forty minutes, boarding began on time. Chen Jiang and Xiao Ya followed the procedures and boarded the plane without any surprises or mistakes, finding their seats smoothly.
On his first time flying first class, Chen Jiang definitely felt the difference from economy class, both in terms of environment and service.
However, perhaps because he had only recently become wealthy, Chen Jiang was indeed a little unaccustomed to the flight attendants kneeling before him to serve him... Perhaps it was because he didn't yet consider himself superior.
Aside from that, Chen Jiang's trip was quite pleasant.
Xiaoya, who was next to me, had clearly experienced the superior service of first class more than once. She was very calm about the flight attendants' service. She changed into the slippers that the flight attendants brought her, put on a blanket, and went to sleep as soon as she boarded the plane.
Seeing this, Chen Jiang could only shake his head helplessly.
Xiaoya isn't actually that old, only about twenty-three or twenty-four. Even though she's already working, she's still a young person in the real world. Chen Jiang sees her posts on WeChat Moments every night at three in the morning.
The key is that every day during the day, whenever Chen Jiang looks for her, she is always there... I used to wonder where she got the energy to stay up so late, but now it seems there is a reason.
Anyway, ever since he turned twenty-five, he hasn't had the ability to sleep whenever he wants...
"It's definitely better to be young..."
With a sigh, Chen Jiang closed his eyes to conserve his energy.
But actually, the total flight distance from Shenzhen to Shanghai isn't that far. In fact, just as Chen Jiang was starting to feel a little dizzy, a flight attendant came over and quietly reminded him:
"Sir, we're almost in Shanghai..."
"Okay... thank you..."
Chen Jiang thanked him, stood up, and rubbed his forehead, feeling slightly dizzy.
Turning my head, I saw that Xiaoya, who seemed to have been fast asleep just moments before, had already sat up, changed into her ankle boots, and tidied up the blankets and other items to the side.
Noticing Chen Jiang looking at her, she flashed a big smile:
"Boss, did you sleep well?"
"It's alright..." Chen Jiang replied with a wry smile, shook his head, and then asked, "We're almost there. Is someone coming to pick us up?"
"Yes, of course."
Xiaoya is quite reliable. She took out her phone and glanced at it: "I've already sent over the flight information. The company will arrange for someone to pick us up and take us to the hotel."
"After that, you can either rest or go to the company to check things out."
"Then in the evening, if all goes well, President Chen will arrange for you to have dinner alone, and there should be some things he wants to discuss with you."
"After that... you'll have free time." Xiaoya checked the memo again: "Then we'll go to a formal company meeting tomorrow, and you'll be completely free."
"You can stay here for a few days or go back to Shenzhen, it's up to you."
"Okay, I understand." Chen Jiang nodded slightly.
But in reality, it's not that simple, because in addition to his duties as a shareholder, he also served as part of Yan Wenshuo's eyes and mouthpiece.
So he can't completely shirk his responsibilities. After this trip, he plans to fly to Shanghai every two weeks... He hopes things will go smoothly here so he can avoid having to travel back and forth so much.
After waiting for a while and experiencing a slightly bumpy landing, Chen Jiang safely disembarked from the plane.
As they walked out of the station with Xiaoya, they immediately saw the people who were there to pick them up.
Xiaoya leaned over to talk to him for a moment, then turned and waved to Chen Jiang:
"Boss, they're sent by the company. Let's go to the hotel first to drop off our things, and then go straight to the company."
"You can arrange it."
Chen Jiang let Xiao Ya make the arrangements, and he followed her all the way to the Maybach.
As the scenery outside the car window rushed past, he turned to Xiaoya and asked:
"Xiaoya, is Shanghai a better developing city than Shenzhen?"
Xiaoya hadn't expected Chen Jiang to ask this question, and after thinking for a moment, she replied:
"Actually, Shenzhen isn't bad either... but since we're a financial investment company, it's definitely better to be in Shanghai, where the competition is fierce."
"In my opinion, it would be better to open the company in Shenzhen, but since Chairman Yan has made the decision, it means they have their reasons, or they have information that we are not in a position to know."
"Moreover, I heard that the company has already gotten in touch with some projects by leveraging the group's resources."
"Hmm? You've already gotten involved in an investment project so quickly? I thought it would be quite difficult... Do you know what kind of project it is?"
Chen Jiang was a little surprised, as he had indeed done a lot of research in the past few days.
From what he understands, newly established investment companies generally face significant challenges because they lack the capital, resources, and other competitive advantages to compete with large investment banks.
Moreover, although R&F Financial claims to have injected 10 billion yuan, it's obvious to anyone with a brain that such a large sum of money couldn't possibly be given out all at once.
In other words, even with the backing of a behemoth like R&F Group, it is impossible to easily compete with other small and medium-sized financial investment companies.
"What project?"
After thinking for a moment, Xiaoya said, "Actually... this news should be kept secret... I only found out by chance from someone's conversation."
"It seems that besides investments in the conventional mining industry chain, President Chen is primarily promoting asset-light investments in emerging industries... like live streaming or short videos..."
