Chapter 588 Earning a Fortune

Lu Jiaxin only bought the bottom of the Hong Kong property market and did not buy stocks. She felt that the stock had fallen like this and would not be able to rise back to its original index value in a short time.

Nie Zhan said: "Jiaxin, can you go to my old house on the weekend?"

"Why, your grandfather mentioned it?"

Nie Zhan nodded and said: "Grandpa is very happy to know that we won the Central Land King together. He just wants you to go back to the old house and have lunch together."

Lu Jiaxin did not answer the question, but asked: "When will your aunt and three children return to Hong Kong?"

Nie Zhan knew her scruples: "I have already told my grandfather about this, and he does not agree with the three children returning to Hong Kong to study. When Nie Jingshu's case is decided, it will be decided whether aunt will stay in America or take the children to Australia. study."

After a pause, he said: "Based on what I know about my aunt, she should stay in America, so it is convenient to visit Nie Jingshu."

Lu Jiaxin felt that as long as it didn't affect her, Nie Manli could go wherever she wanted.

Nie Zhan mentioned Nie Jingwen again and said: "I told my elder brother in advance. I didn't say it directly but just said a few words vaguely. After what happened the year before last, he didn't dare to take it lightly. This loss is compared to other banks. Be light."

Lu Jiaxin was speechless. Two years ago, she was certain that there would be a stock market crash. This time, she was completely superstitious and cautious. As a result, she didn't listen last time but listened this time. But then again, with the lessons learned from the last time, Nie Zhan reminded him this time that if he didn't take action, there would be no cure.

Nie Zhan told Lu Jiaxin another thing: "I now own 18% of Peninsula Hotel's shares. When the shareholders' meeting is held next month, I will make a proposal to expand the hotel."

Lu Jiaxin thinks the idea is a good one, but the Kadoorie family may not be willing to do it. But if the company does not expand, it will be overtaken by other hotels.

After thinking for a while, Lu Jiaxin said: "If the shareholders' meeting does not agree to the expansion, then we will change the method. I believe they will agree."

If the Kadoorie family and shareholders do not agree with the expansion of Peninsula Hotels, then they will take the franchise route. The so-called franchise refers to the agency franchise of commercial brands. This involves the ongoing contractual relationship between the franchise chain company and the franchise stores.

According to this contract, the franchise headquarters must provide unique business privileges to franchise stores, as well as unconditional assistance in personnel training, organizational structure, business management, product supply and marketing, etc. In return, franchise stores need to pay corresponding fees to the headquarters.

There are many forms of franchising, including voluntary joining, entrusted joining, and franchising.

Nie Zhan thinks her suggestion is very good: "I plan to build a Peninsula Hotel in each of Sijiucheng, Magic City, and Yangcheng. If they don't agree, then we will take the franchise route."

The three super first-tier cities in China in the future are Sijiucheng, Magic City, and Yangcheng. I have to say that this vision is indeed unique.

Thinking of the lukewarm performance he had just taken over Wansheng Real Estate, Lu Jiaxin said, "Thankfully I stimulated you, otherwise it would have been a waste of your talents."

During this period of time, the outside world was praising him a lot, but he didn't feel anything about it because those praises were all false, but Jiaxin's praise was sincere.

On Saturday, Lu Jiaxin went to the Nie family’s old house. Although the conditions in the Sanatorium and Hospital are better, Mr. Nie still likes to stay at home. For the sake of his health, I bought rehabilitation equipment and hired two doctors to help him recover in the morning and afternoon.

After raising him for more than a month, Mr. Nie's speech has returned to normal now, but his feet still have little strength and require support.

Lu Jiaxin entered Mr. Nie's room. She felt uncomfortable smelling the smell in the room, but she just endured it and didn't show any signs of discomfort. As you get older, your body will smell, and my aunt also has it. This is something that no one can avoid.

Mr. Nie saw Lu Jiaxin beaming and said, "Jiaxin is here, come on, sit here."

After she sat down, Mr. Nie said a few words of concern and then mentioned the engagement banquet. According to Mr. Nie's idea, it was going to be a big event, and celebrities from all walks of life in Hong Kong City would be invited. However, Nie Zhan said that Lu Jiaxin only wanted to invite relatives and friends when they got engaged, and then wait until the wedding to make it a big event.

Lu Jiaxin really didn't like to have a big party. The more guests she entertained, the more tired she became. Forget about getting married, there is really no need to be so tiring when getting engaged.

Mr. Nie smiled and expressed his respect for her idea: "Azhan's mother is useless. Do you think it's ok for your sister-in-law to help organize your engagement party?"

Of course Lu Jiaxin has no objection. Sisters Nie Manli and Nie Manlin are both unreliable, but Grandma Nie is still reliable. And she had been kind to herself from the beginning, but it was just because of various things that she didn't want to have too close contact with the Nie family.

Grandma Nie was secretly relieved when she agreed. Ever since that crazy woman caused the kidnapping, Jia Xin had not wanted to see their family. Because of their estranged relationship, she suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash two years ago. You know, Zong Shimeng, who is close to her, makes a lot of money.

She took Lu Jiaxin's hand and said with a smile: "Brothers and sisters, there are many things to prepare for the engagement. Let's go outside and talk about it."

Lu Jiaxin looked at Mr. Nie, saw him nodding, then smiled and followed Zhang Lanlan out.

When they arrived at the living room, Zhang Lanlan first asked her how many guests were here: "How many people will come from your parents' house? Which friends in Hong Kong City should be invited?"

Lu Jiaxin doesn't have many good friends. In order to prevent the comparison between the two parties from being too harsh, she planned to bring in several company executives to make up the numbers: "My mother's family is tentatively my father and nephew. My uncle and aunt are how old they are. I'm not in good health, and I don't know if I can handle the long journey."

Zhang Lanlan knew that she was a single girl: "Where are your godfather, godmother, and cousins?"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "My godfather and godmother have special status and cannot come before the return of Hong Kong. My cousins, my eldest brother is a state cadre and cannot come, and my eldest sister-in-law is not sure yet. Let's not talk about the others, but Brother Yuan's family will come to participate at that time."

After calculating, two tables of Lu's relatives are not enough, but they have 20 tables of relatives and friends. Alas, I won't invite relatives who are not close to each other, so as to avoid the embarrassment of the disparity in the number of guests between the two families.

Grandma Nie asked Lu Jiaxin what requirements and preferences she had for the scene of the engagement banquet. The more she knew, the easier it would be to arrange it.

Lu Jiaxin couldn't throw everything to her, so she said, "Sister-in-law, I plan to hand over the planning of the wedding to the wedding company."

"Do you have a favorite?"

Lu Jiaxin didn't care about this matter before, so how could she have a favorite. But she couldn't say this, otherwise she would seem perfunctory: "I chose one, but I haven't decided yet."

I'll ask the secretary to find one when I go back, and then choose one from them.

"Where are you going to hold the engagement party?"

Lu Jiaxin said without hesitation: "The Peninsula Hotel, Ah Zhan has already made a reservation with the hotel."

Hong Kong's wealthy people go to five-star hotels for weddings, birthday parties, full-month banquets and other happy events. If you don't make a reservation in advance, there may be no good hotels left when the time comes.
