Rebirth 1983: Starting from taking back the family property.

Chapter 587 Make a lot of money
Lu Jiaxin only bought the bottom of the Hong Kong real estate market and did not buy stocks. She felt that the stock market would not rise back to the original index value in a short time after it fell so much.

Nie Zhan said: "Jia Xin, can we go to the old house this weekend?"

"Why, did your grandfather bring it up?"

Nie Zhan nodded and said, "Grandpa is very happy to know that we won the Central Land King together, so he wants you to come back to the old house to have lunch together."

Lu Jiaxin didn't respond, but asked, "When will your aunt and the three children return to Hong Kong?"

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

After a pause, he said, "Based on my understanding of my aunt, she should stay in America, so it will be convenient for her 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 about this in advance. I didn't say it directly, but I said a few vague words. After what happened the year before last, he dare not take it lightly. The loss this time is lighter than that of other banks."

Lu Jiaxin was speechless. Two years ago, she was sure 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 she listened this time. But then again, with the lesson from the last time, Nie Zhan reminded her this time. If she still didn't take action, then there would be no cure.

Nie Zhan told Lu Jiaxin another thing: "I now own 18% of the shares of the Peninsula Hotel. When the shareholders' meeting is held next month, I plan to propose the expansion of the hotel."

Lu Jiaxin thinks the idea is good, but the Kadoorie family may not agree. 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 try another approach. I believe they will agree."

The Kadoorie family and shareholders disagreed with the expansion of The Peninsula Hotel, so they chose to franchise. Franchise means the agency of a commercial brand. This involves a continuous contractual relationship between the franchise chain head office and the franchise stores.

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

There are many forms of franchising, mainly including voluntary franchising, commissioned franchising, and franchise franchising.

Nie Zhan thought her suggestion was very good: "I plan to build a Peninsula Hotel in each of the three places: Sijiu City, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. If they don't agree, then we can go the franchise route."

The three super first-tier cities in China in the future are Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. It has to be said that this vision is indeed unique.

Thinking of the lukewarm response to Wansheng Real Estate when he first took over, Lu Jiaxin said, "Fortunately I stimulated you, otherwise it would have been a waste of your talent."

During this period, the outside world praised him a lot, but he didn't feel anything because those praises were all empty, but Jiaxin's praise was sincere.

On Saturday, Lu Jiaxin went to the Nie family's old house. Although the conditions at the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital were better, Mr. Nie still preferred to stay at home. For his health, she bought rehabilitation equipment and invited two doctors to do rehabilitation for him in the morning and afternoon respectively.

After more than a month of recuperation, Mr. Nie's speech has returned to normal, but his legs are still weak and he needs someone to support him.

Lu Jiaxin entered Mr. Nie's room and smelled the smell in the room. She felt uncomfortable, but she endured it and didn't show any abnormality. As people get older, they have a smell on their bodies, and my aunt also has it. This is something that no one can avoid.

When Mr. Nie saw Lu Jiaxin, he smiled and said, "Jiaxin is here, come on, sit here." After she sat down, Mr. Nie said a few caring words and then mentioned the engagement banquet. According to Mr. Nie's idea, it should be a big one, inviting celebrities from all walks of life in Hong Kong; but Nie Zhan said that Lu Jiaxin only wanted to invite relatives and friends for the engagement, and wait until the wedding to hold a big one.

Lu Jiaxin really didn't want to have a big party. The more guests she invited, the more tired she would be. It was fine to just get married, but there was really no need to make an engagement so tiring.

Old Master Nie smiled and expressed his respect for her idea: "Ah Zhan's mom is useless. Can you let your sister-in-law help with the wedding banquet?"

Of course Lu Jiaxin had no objection. Both Nie Manli and Nie Manlin were unreliable, but Grandma Nie was reliable. And she had shown goodwill to her from the beginning, but she didn't want to have too much contact with the Nie family because of various things.

Grandma Nie was relieved to see her agree. Ever since that crazy woman kidnapped her, Jia Xin had disliked their family. Because of their estranged relationship, she suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash two years ago. You know, Zong Shimeng, who was close to her, made a lot of money.

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

Lu Jiaxin looked at Mr. Nie, and when she saw him nod, she smiled and followed Zhang Lanlan out.

When they arrived at the living room, Zhang Lanlan first asked her how many guests there were: "How many people will come from your mother's family? Which friends in Hong Kong do you want to invite?"

Lu Jiaxin didn't have many close friends, so in order to avoid a stark contrast between the two sides, she planned to bring in a few company executives to make up the numbers: "My mother's family, tentatively my father and nephew. My uncle and aunt are old and in poor health, I wonder if they can handle the long journey?"

Zhang Lanlan knew that she was a single woman: "Where are your godparents and cousins?"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "My godfather and godmother have special status and cannot come before Hong Kong City returns. My cousins, my eldest brother is a state cadre and cannot come because of the impact. My eldest sister-in-law is not sure yet. I won't mention the others, but Brother Yuan's family will come to participate when the time comes."

With this calculation, two tables of Lu's relatives are not enough, but their relatives and friends have to set up at least 20 tables. Well, I won't invite relatives who are not close to me, so as to avoid the embarrassment of the brothers and sisters-in-law due to the disparity in the number of guests from the two families.

Grandma Nie also asked Lu Jiaxin about her requirements and preferences for the engagement banquet scene so that she could make better arrangements when the time comes.

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

"Are there any that you like?"

Lu Jiaxin had never taken this matter to heart before, so how could she have liked anyone? But she couldn't say this, otherwise it would seem that she was being perfunctory: "I've chosen one, but I haven't decided yet."

When I get back, ask my secretary to look for them and then pick one from them.

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

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

The wealthy in Hong Kong always go to five-star hotels for weddings, birthdays, full moon banquets and other happy events. If you don't make reservations in advance, there may be no good hotels left.
