Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Next, with Cao Zhiqiang's deception and the store manager's cooperation, Zhu Lin, who did not understand Japanese, fell into the trap and began to happily change into one outfit after another under the arrangement of the stylist.

The so-called set here is not just a set of clothes, but includes all matching sets such as clothing, shoes, jewelry, bags, etc.

There is no way. High-end luxury stores like Hermès are very particular about clothing, and even some high-end limited edition products. If you want to buy them, you have to stock them first, that is, you must first buy other products with a certain price and quantity, and then you can Pair it with buying limited edition products, such as a certain jewelry necklace or a certain bag.

To put it bluntly, this is a kind of forced consumption.

It is also compulsory consumption. If you play in an ordinary store, it will only make people dissatisfied and unhappy, and then they will complain.

But in a high-end luxury store like Hermès, if you engage in this kind of forced consumption, it is high-end, it is grand, it is high-end, it is aristocratic style!
Where is the difference?

I'm afraid the only difference is that the brand of luxury goods is strong enough to show off when you take it out.

If you can't show off, who will pay the high premium for luxury goods?
Is it really because of quality?
It is undeniable that the quality of luxury goods is generally very good, but it cannot be said to be truly flawless.

Especially for clothing and jewelry items, which are basically mid-range products, the quality is already very good.

The value of luxury goods lies more in the added value of the brand rather than the product itself.

No matter what, Cao Zhiqiang himself disdains these luxury goods, and he never deliberately pursues any luxury goods, even if he is rich.

But having said that, if you are looking for money, then you really can only look for these luxury goods.

The reason is that for ordinary consumption, it is difficult for you to spend hundreds of millions unless you buy a house or a car.

Otherwise, it’s just personal food and clothing expenses, and you can’t spend billions of dollars anyway.

Not to mention billions, even [-] million is enough.

Originally, there were no restrictions on buying a house or a car. This was indeed a good way to spend large amounts of money.

But here comes the problem, that is, Cao Zhiqiang is currently tied to only two women, and neither of them can spend large amounts of money like buying a house or a car.

Let’s talk about Sayuri Yoshinaga first.

Sayuri Yoshinaga is a married woman, and her relationship with Cao Zhiqiang was originally an affair that could not be openly stated.

Moreover, Sayuri Yoshinaga and Cao Zhiqiang are both celebrities now, and they are most afraid of people knowing that they are together.

If it weren't for Sayuri Yoshinaga's husband, Taro Okada, who has great power in the entertainment industry and can make paparazzi avoid messing around, I'm afraid Sayuri Yoshinaga wouldn't dare to have an affair with Cao Zhiqiang.

However, it is one thing that the paparazzi dare not take the initiative to take secret photos, but it will be different if Cao Zhiqiang and Yoshinaga Sayuri accidentally leak the affair.

Therefore, even if Cao Zhiqiang wanted to buy a house or a car for Sayuri Yoshinaga, Sayuri Yoshinaga would not accept it.

In the same way, Zhu Lin's situation is similar, but the specific circumstances are slightly different.

The biggest problem is that Zhu Lin is not Japanese, but an authentic mainlander.

Zhu Lin only used a short-term business visa when she came to Tokyo this time, and her passport was a government-issued passport, so she could not buy real estate or vehicles in Japan.

Of course, it's not completely impossible.

For example, if Cao Zhiqiang invested a huge sum of money in Zhu Lin and allowed Zhu Lin to settle in Japan as an investment immigrant, that would still be okay.

After all, Japan is also a capitalist world. In such a world, as long as you have money, everything is easy.

All rules and regulations can be ignored in the face of money, at least in the capitalist world.

But in this case, Zhu Lin was staying privately, which was similar to defecting.

Although there are no extradition regulations between China and Japan, even if Zhu Lin stays in Japan privately, there is nothing the country can do to her. However, this kind of behavior is very bad. Once she does this, Zhu Lin will never be able to return to the country again.

This kind of defection behavior of taking advantage of some opportunity to go abroad and never come back has happened before. For example, a certain sports star did this.

But the problem is that Cao Zhiqiang doesn't want to do this, and he doesn't want Zhu Lin to do it either.

Therefore, Zhu Lin can't spend a lot of money here in Tokyo. At most, he can buy some luxuries that are easy to bring with him, such as clothing and jewelry.

Of course, there is no other way.

The best way is to go to Xiangjiang for consumption.

Although Xiangjiang is still a British concession, it belongs to the Chinese circle after all and is about to return.

That is to say, if you go to Xiangjiang, you don’t need to change your nationality. If you stay there, you can spend a lot of money without delaying your return to your country.

Even from a selfish point of view, for now, it is actually more appropriate for Zhu Lin to live in Xiangjiang.

After all, the country is still very poor, and even the upper class cannot compare with the people in Xiangjiang in terms of enjoyment.

In the current domestic environment, no matter how rich you are, you will not be able to give full play to the privileges of the rich.

For example, living in a large high-end villa, having a bunch of servants to serve you, eating and drinking every day, and having a great time is not allowed.

But in Xiangjiang, as long as you have money, these are not problems at all.

Moreover, living in Xiangjiang, it is also very easy to come to the mainland. It is basically a green light all the way.

Just look at Lou Xiao'e and you will know this.

Even if the situation changes later, it will be 30 years later.

But even so, as long as you don't change your nationality and only use your Xiangjiang ID card, there won't be a big problem.

Anyway, as long as you have money, Xiangjiang is paradise.

Only when you have no money will Xiangjiang become a hell.

Isn’t this just convenient for you to spend money?
Moreover, it was the right time for Zhu Lin to go to Xiangjiang.

Because if Cao Zhiqiang remembers correctly, this is the period of Sino-British negotiations.

If nothing unexpected happens, Great Britain will definitely make concessions on the Hong Kong issue next year, and the countdown to Hong Kong's return will officially begin soon.

At that time, some British capital will sell out of panic, so this is the best time to buy Xiangjiang British capital.

Li Chaoren of Hong Kong also took advantage of this opportunity to harvest British capital and later became the richest man in Hong Kong. Otherwise, he would probably have to wait many more years to become the richest man in Hong Kong.

The problem is, if Cao Zhiqiang remembers correctly, Mr. Li didn't have much money at this time, at least not much liquidity.

The process of his acquisition of British capital was actually a process of borrowing money, which was actually no different from the subsequent thunderstorm of Evergrande.

It's just that Mr. Li is very discerning. After he borrowed money to acquire British capital, the situation in Xiangjiang suddenly stabilized, and the value of those British capital suddenly increased, which allowed Mr. Li to take the opportunity to make a lot of money.

I won’t talk about Hutchison Whampoa, let’s talk about the later Hong Kong Electric Group, which was the goose that laid the golden eggs.

Hey, it seems that the current Hong Kong Electric has not been acquired by Mr. Li and is still a British industry.

From this point of view, I might not be able to intervene.

Well, originally, Cao Zhiqiang had never thought about this. After all, he wanted to get involved in a company like Hong Kong Electric.

After all, Hong Kong Electric is now a property owned by Land, and Land is still a giant company.

But Cao Zhiqiang remembered that Land was already heavily in debt, and the acquisition of Hong Kong Electric was just a flashback to bluff people.

Once the Sino-British negotiations are over and the return of Xiangjiang is confirmed, the bubble that Hongkong has inflated will be punctured, and then it will be the best time to buy.

In his previous life, Li Chaoren relied on a cash flow of HK$29 billion to win the Hong Kong Electric Company.Since he can do it, there's no reason why he can't do it.

Even if I don’t have the money now, the love fund does.

As long as he gives Zhu Lin money, lets Zhu Lin settle in Xiangjiang, and then spends money to buy the shares of that company through her, isn't that the same thing?

Zhu Lin's current love fund limit is US$88 billion.

Let’s not talk about the fact that as the favor increases, the limit of the love fund will increase.

Simply put, the current US$88 billion is enough to stir up trouble in Hong Kong.

If nothing else, acquiring a company like Hong Kong Electric is more than enough.

Not only Hong Kong Electric, but also others such as Wheelock and Wharf, it is not impossible to have a hand.

Of course, a company like this doesn't just have to have money, it also has to leverage momentum.

Well, you can pull off the tiger's skin and package Zhu Lin as having a certain high-level background, so that people will mistakenly think that he is a white glove of state-owned assets from a mainland country, and that will be easier to handle.

If Cao Zhiqiang remembers correctly, the British during this period were the most cowardly.

Even though the Iron Lady is in power now, she is actually a very capable Iron Lady.

The real situation is that there are many internal conflicts in the UK at this time. Just a strike issue makes the Iron Lady very anxious, not to mention partisan conflicts, economic downturn and other factors.

The reason why the Iron Lady dared to fight the Falklands War was actually out of desperation.

If that battle had not been fought, Mrs. Thatcher's resignation would have been certain, because at that time, because of a series of immature measures, it could be said that she had lost all the support of the people, whether it was the middle class or the bottom, as well as those business leaders, even the Queen and her All members of her own party dislike her.

It can be said that Mrs. Thatcher before the Falklands War made British history and became the No. 1 prime minister disliked by almost everyone.

Being able to offend people from all walks of life is considered an ability.

Therefore, if she does not fight that war, she will definitely not be re-elected after stepping down, so she broke the pot and fully supported the war.

Anyway, if we lose, the situation will not get worse. If we win, we will make a comeback.

The result was as she expected, the battle was won.

Later, because of her victory in the war, she made a comeback, and in 1983, she miraculously won re-election with a fragmented political party.

After she was re-elected for the second time, she started a wave of privatization, selling off state-owned enterprises everywhere, and she no longer had the courage to continue playing tricks abroad.

For example, when facing our country, she was so scared that she didn't even dare to say harsh words.

The reason is also very simple, that is, although the Falklands War was won on the surface, it actually exposed Britain's falsehood.

In the eyes of the real powers, Britain's weakness at this time has been fully exposed.

Therefore, the return of Hong Kong and the flight of British capital are inevitable.

However, at this point in time, Xiangjiang's economy has not yet entered a downward trend. On the contrary, Xiangjiang is still in a period of rapid development, which is a typical period of economic dividends.

Therefore, if you buy the property in Xiangjiang at this time, you will definitely make a profit without losing any money.

The premise is that you have to have that much money.

In China, if you want to talk about strength, you really have it, but when it comes to money, you really don’t have it.

Therefore, if you can grab the skin of state-owned assets and buy properties in Xiangjiang with your own money, everyone will definitely be happy.

But in terms of specific operations, you still need to be more careful. At least you need to find a reliable person first to help you check and explore the way.

Hey, thinking about it this way, Lou Xiao'e is a good choice.

Cao Zhiqiang remembered that Lou Xiao'e looked very shrewd and resolute in her work, but in fact she was very soft and kind at heart, and could easily be manipulated by family affection.

Later, the reason why the elderly people in the courtyard house could enjoy their old age in peace and turned into a nursing home was actually because Lou Xiaoe subsidized it.

Not only did Lou Xiaoe receive financial subsidies, but the restaurant she opened in the capital eventually became He Yuzhu's.

Are you saying that Lou Xiao'e doesn't know the character of Qin Huairu and the others? Doesn't she know that the third uncle and the others are sucking blood?
She knew, she knew everything, but she didn't care.

Because she likes He Yuzhu, she doesn't care about those three melons and two dates as long as He Yuzhu likes him.

That's right, in fact, whether it's building a courtyard house or opening a restaurant, that's just an insignificant part of Lou Xiao'e's business.

Lou Xiao'e's real industry has always been in Xiangjiang.

Her main business has always been import and export trade, followed by some real estate.

When Cao Zhiqiang was dealing with Lou Xiao'e before, Lou Xiao'e also recommended investment projects to him and wanted him to invest in commercial real estate in Xiangjiang.

That is to say, buy a few front-end houses and then rent them out to collect rent.

At this time, Xiangjiang was experiencing a period of booming real estate development, also known as the trend period.

During this period, whether it is residential or commercial real estate, as long as you can buy it, you will definitely make a profit.

Lou Xiao'e can see this, and her vision is very good.

In addition, import and export trade is also at the forefront at this time, because it will not be long before the domestic economy takes off, and Xiangjiang will also reap a wave of dividends.

The reason why Lou Xiao'e came to the mainland was mainly to pave the way for her import and export business. As for opening a restaurant, it was really just incidental. It was purely to help He Yuzhu and purely for feelings.

The relationship between He Yuzhu and himself is pretty good, and he and Lou Xiao'e also get along well. The two sides had no grudges in the past and have had good cooperation in recent times.

If Lou Xiao'e is asked to help, I believe she will be happy.

The only problem is how to explain Zhu Lin's identity.

After all, the setting of the love fund is very annoying. You can only spend money on Zhu Lin, but not on yourself.

In the eyes of outsiders, this means that Zhu Lin is his lover.

If you are not a lover, why should you spend so much money on an outsider?

After thinking about it again and again, Cao Zhiqiang decided that he still could not admit that Zhu Lin was his lover and wanted to continue telling the story.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang planned to describe Zhu Lin as the white glove of a certain big boss, and that big boss was his thigh, so he wanted to help Zhu Lin.

As for who the boss is, sorry, no comment.

Well, it seems reasonable to put it this way.

Even if there is something unreasonable, as long as it is done mysteriously and the money is paid in large amounts and in a timely manner, Lou Xiaoe will definitely believe it.

In this way, no one will believe that he is the financial backer behind Zhu Lin, and will only think that he is a person who is pushed out to deceive others.

Gee, I'm such a genius to think of such an excuse.

Pooh!Only a scumbag can come up with such a stupid idea in an instant!
Sure enough, I have really fallen.

My innocence and kindness are really gone forever. (End of chapter)
