Chapter 332: Chapter 321 Suggestions Chapter 332: Chapter 321 Suggestions Nie Zhan had promised to take Lu Jiaxin skiing and naturally couldn’t break his word. It just so happened that France had many ski resorts. However, before they left, he expressed some regrets, saying, “It’s a pity that Courchevel is closed now, otherwise I would have taken you there to ski, and I guarantee you’d want to come again next year.”
Lu Jiaxin asked curiously, “What’s so special about that place?”
Nie Zhan explained to her. It turned out that Courchevel was situated at the heart of France’s Three Valleys, surrounded by forests with an excellent geographical location, ensuring the area was covered with thick snow throughout the skiing season. Not only that, but it was also a leisure destination that combined skiing and vacationing. In addition to having more than a dozen five-star hotels, many luxury brands such as Dior, Hermes, LV, Rolex, and others had stores there. It was very convenient to go shopping for luxury goods when one was tired from skiing.
Lu Jiaxin thought to herself that this was definitely a playground for the rich.
Upon arriving at the ski resort, Nie Zhan taught Lu Jiaxin to ski with great patience. Jiaxin could ice skate, but it was her first time skiing; however, she learned quickly with someone guiding her. Even so, during the eight days at the ski resort, beauties would occasionally come up and strike up a conversation with Nie Zhan.
After Nie Zhan once again turned down a beauty with an impressive figure, Lu Jiaxin said with a tinge of jealousy, “You really are popular.”
Nie Zhan took her hand and said with a smile, “I don’t even remember what those women look like. Jiaxin, you’re the only one in my heart.”
Lu Jiaxin felt sweet inside and hugged him, saying, “Smooth talker.”
However, during these days together, Nie Zhan didn’t do anything more than hold her hand. Boyfriends and girlfriends normally hugged and cuddled, but he hadn’t, and was very gentlemanly.
Nie Zhan froze all over, and after a long pause, said, “I’m speaking from my heart. In my eyes, you’re the most beautiful, and no one can compare.”
Lu Jiaxin smiled happily upon being flattered.
Happy times always fly by fast, and before they knew it, the vacation was over, and they found it hard to leave.
Seeing her like this, Nie Zhan said with a smile, “When the winter break comes, we’ll come again, and then we can have a great time at Courchevel.”
“The end of the year is the busiest time for work. Can you take such a long time off?” she asked.
“It’ll be fine if things are arranged properly,” Nie Zhan said. A good company has a mature operation system and can function normally even without the chairman or president. Otherwise, there would be trouble.
Speaking of the company, Lu Jiaxin couldn’t help but ask about Wansheng Real Estate’s debt ratio. Hearing him say that Wansheng Real Estate’s debt ratio was twenty percent, she felt that it was too low.
By then, the car had already arrived. Wanting to discuss business with Nie Zhan, Lu Jiaxin had Gu Wenfeng replace the driver. Among the people around her, she trusted Gu Wenfeng the most. As for Qian Xiaoxiao, she was still a rookie in the bodyguard industry.
As the car started towards the airport, Lu Jiaxin continued to ask, “What about your company’s land reserves?”
Land reserves are crucial for real estate companies. If a company has reserved a lot of land, it secures a favorable position during the phase of rapid real estate development, and the company can expand quickly.
Nie Zhan discussed the land reserve situation of Wansheng with her. Wansheng was a listed company, and the information Jiaxin was asking for was supposed to be disclosed to the shareholders so they could understand the company’s development and operation situation, so there was nothing he couldn’t talk about.
After pondering for a while, Lu Jiaxin asked, “Nie Zhan, what do you think about the reforms and opening up in the mainland?”
Nie Zhan felt that the reform and opening up in the mainland were being carried out vigorously, especially in Yangcheng City, which was a special economic zone where the economy could develop quickly. He said, “My grandfather is very optimistic about the mainland, so the year before last he cooperated with the mainland government to open a branch there. It’s just that my older brother doesn’t have confidence in the mainland and isn’t willing to increase the investment.”
“So what about you? Are you planning to develop and sell houses on the Mainland in the future?”
Nie Zhan nodded, “There are so many people on the Mainland, and the real estate business is very promising. It’s just that the environment isn’t right these last two years. First, I’ll establish good relations with the Mainland, and when the time is ripe, we’ll move in.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiaxin suddenly understood why Old Master Nie had insisted on Nie Zhan coming back to take charge of Wansheng Real Estate. Nie Jingwen was a decent person, but his vision wasn’t long-term, and he wasn’t decisive enough.
Nie Zhan looked at her and smiled, asking, “Why are you suddenly asking about the company’s operations today? Could it be that you are interested in investing in real estate?”
Lu Jiaxin shook her head, indicating that she would focus on her studies this year and talk about investments next year, “Nie Zhan, since you are so optimistic about the development on the Mainland, why not stock up on more land? Wansheng’s debt ratio is so low, you could totally borrow to stockpile land. I think anything below fifty percent debt is not a problem.”
This figure was already quite conservative.
Nie Zhan looked at her and asked, “Jiaxin, do you know what a fifty percent debt ratio means? Once there is a fluctuation in real estate, banks will come to collect debts, and if the capital chain breaks, the company will go bankrupt.”
Lu Jiaxin, of course, knew this, but she also knew that in the next decade, Hong Kong’s real estate market would take off like a rocket! Of course, there would be fluctuations, but as long as the company was in good operational condition, even big waves could be weathered.
Lu Jiaxin said, “You haven’t lived on the Mainland, so you don’t know how much Mainland people aspire to the developed areas of Europe, America, and Hong Kong. Once the economy develops, and these people have money, they will find ways to go abroad or settle in Hong Kong.”
“As a special zone, Yangcheng City has been given many resources by the Mainland government. Hong Kong, as a transit point, should already have many companies moving in, not to mention, in the future. With its excellent geographical location, more and more companies will set up there, and the number of people coming here to work will certainly increase significantly. People can’t do without food, clothes, and housing. According to my prediction, Hong Kong’s real estate will be very hot in the coming years.”
Nie Zhan was lost in thought after hearing her words.
Lu Jiaxin didn’t say anything more. She had spoken so much and in such detail that if Nie Zhan did not stockpile more land and missed the opportunity, there was nothing more she could do.
Nie Zhan snapped out of his deep thoughts and found Lu Jiaxin leaning against him, asleep. Gazing at her flawless face, he couldn’t help but reach out his hand. Just as his hand was about to touch her, she woke up.
Lu Jiaxin yawned and asked, “Have we arrived?”
Nie Zhan smiled and said, “We’re almost there. Don’t sleep now. You can sleep slowly on the plane during the more than ten-hour flight.”
“Okay.”
Nie Zhan took hold of Lu Jiaxin’s hand, their fingers interlocking, “Jiaxin, thank you.”
“Thank me for what?”
Nie Zhan asked, “You hold sixty percent of Qirui Company, and Su Heyuan is relegated to second place. Not only are you the chief designer, but you also control the company’s development and direction, right?”
“Why would you think that?” Lu Jiaxin asked.
Nie Zhan had met with Su Heyuan many times and they were now friends, “Although he has worked in a clothing factory, he is not sensitive to fashion and trends. Yet Qirui’s precise positioning and keenness on fashion trends are well recognized in the industry. It’s Qirui that has catapulted Su Heyuan into becoming a nouveau riche in the business circle.”
Su Heyuan not only made a profit but also gained a reputation. Nowadays, he is very popular in the circle, with Hong Kong Media praising him as a natural. Meanwhile, Jiaxin, in the business circle, remains somewhat unknown. No wonder Su Heyuan has been so good to Jiaxin; anyone would have put her on a pedestal in his place.
