Chapter 530: Money Can’t Be Spent
Lu Jiaxin went home and calculated that the investments managed by Mo Libin, Sang Wen and Deng Weihai only had more than 40 million green coins in the account, but this money was reserved for reserve and could not be used. Nie Zhan still had more than 200 million green coins, which Lu Jiaxin kept for purchasing high-quality properties.
Just after calculating the accounts, Lu Jiaxin felt that this money could not be left in the account and had to be used. How to use it, of course, to continue to speculate on the Nikkei Index.
When Nie Zhan came back in the evening, Lu Jiaxin told him about this:.
Nie Zhan knew that she would use this money, and knew that it was useless to dissuade her, so he did not waste his breath: "Okay, but the rest of the money cannot be moved. Jiaxin, Jardine Matheson is going to move the company to Bermuda, and will sell off their high-quality properties one after another. If we don't have money on hand, we will miss it, and this opportunity will be gone if we miss it."
Two of the three buildings Lu Jiaxin bought were released by Jardine Matheson. Given the current situation, many more properties will definitely be released one after another.
"I'll listen to you. I'll keep the remaining money to buy quality properties. By the way, A'Zhan, haven't you been investing your private money in the short term? It's too much of a loss to leave more than 100 million in my account, so let's do some short-term investment!"
Nie Zhan smiled and said, "Didn't you say you were afraid of losing money last time?"
"No one can guarantee a 100% profit on investment. But even if you lose money on short-term investment, it's limited, unless you encounter something like what happened in October last year." Lu Jiaxin said.
At the beginning of the year, she didn't agree to short-term investment because she wanted to continue speculating in foreign exchange and the Nikkei index. It was just that Nie Zhan didn't agree to this matter, but she has calmed down now and feels that she was really a little bit over the top at that time. If Nie Zhan didn't stop her, she might have taken out a large sum of money to continue speculating. It can only be said that human desires are indeed endless.
Nie Zhan naturally had no objection: "There will be a charity meeting next month, let's attend it then!"
Before, she refused because she was busy with her studies, but now that she has taken over the company, there is no reason to refuse. Last time Su Heyuan got engaged, it was considered a small-scale appearance. Attending the charity gala, you can meet celebrities from all walks of life.
Lu Jiaxin asked to clarify that it was the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Charity Gala. Tung Wah Group of Hospitals is very famous and has always been committed to providing diversified services in education and medical care for the general public. However, if there is an earthquake or flood in the mainland, they will also raise funds for relief.
Nie Zhan said: "Each invited guest can donate one thing as an auction item. I have prepared a limited edition watch, so you don’t have to choose anymore."
Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said: "We haven’t gotten married yet, and this is my first time to appear in public. If I don’t show anything, the media will say I’m stingy."
"Then what are you going to send?"
Lu Jiaxin has a lot of good things, but she can’t bear to use them as auction items. After thinking for a while, she said, "I have a pair of jade ruyi, what do you think about using them to raise funds?"
Nie Zhan had heard her mention this before: "Didn't you say that you would use the pair of jade ruyi as a wedding gift for Su Heyuan when he got married?"
Lu Jiaxin said that she had changed her mind: "Brother Yuan asked me to design wedding clothes for him and his sister-in-law, so this will be a wedding gift. Let's use the jade ruyi to raise funds for charity!"
The pair of jade ruyi that He Bin received was a dowry of a concubine of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. The things are good, but for Lu Jiaxin, who collects many treasures, she is willing to give them away to raise funds for charity.
"Just decide."
After dinner, Nie Zhan coaxed Lu Jiaxin upstairs and asked her to close her eyes after entering the room.
Lu Jiaxin knew that he was buying a gift for herself. Although the method was a bit old-fashioned, the intention should be respected, so she closed her eyes very cooperatively.
"Open your eyes."
Lu Jiaxin opened her eyes and saw Nie Zhan holding a jewelry box with a ruby and diamond necklace in it. The ruby in the middle is as big as a pigeon egg, shining brightly and blinding.
At first glance, she knew it was an antique necklace. Lu Jiaxin asked with a smile: "Did you buy it at Sotheby's? How much did it cost?"
Nie Zhan knew she would ask about the price, and said with a smile: "You don't have many jewelry. I saw this one and thought it would look good on you. Come on, try it on."
Lu Jiaxin disagreed and said: "I'm wearing casual clothes, which doesn't match this necklace. When my dress for the charity gala is ready, I will wear it to show you."
Since it is a charity gala, she must wear an evening gown. Whether in her previous life or now, she doesn't like to wear evening gowns. It's beautiful, but the requirements are really high. She dare not eat too much, because if she eats too much, her belly will be bloated and she will be ugly.
Nie Zhan also agreed with her.
When the two went to bed, Lu Jiaxin was still asking: "Ah Zhan, how much is this necklace?"
Nie Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could he say that he liked Western antiques? When buying top-grade jadeite, you will appreciate it and never ask about the price. I just bought an antique jewelry, but I have to ask about the price.
"This is a gift to make up for your 20th birthday. Jiaxin, as long as you like it, the money will not be wasted."
Seeing that he didn't say it, Lu Jiaxin knew that the price must be very high, she said: "No matter what you give me, I like it. It's just that money is not limited to spending. We are very poor now, so don't waste money on these in the future."
Hearing the latter, Nie Zhan laughed: "Hong Kong's richest woman said she was poor, you are not afraid of being sacked."
Lu Jiaxin said that what she said was true: "If I had money, I would directly acquire a world-renowned clothing brand instead of creating a women's clothing brand first."
Nie Zhan was a little surprised: "You want to acquire a big clothing brand?"
Lu Jiaxin corrected, "I want to acquire a clothing brand that is world-renowned and has superb production technology. But that requires a lot of money, and I am too poor to afford it now."
Nie Zhan held her in his arms and said, "Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me?"
Lu Jiaxin felt that he was already very busy and there was no need to worry about her own affairs: "I just thought about it. To acquire a well-known brand, you must not only have money, but also the right time, place and people."
For example, the famous clothing brand Crocodile Shirt in Hong Kong City was also under the impact of the huge wave of immigration overseas the year before last. The Chen family had no confidence in the future of Hong Kong City and was willing to sell it. Now it has been bought by the Lin family, and they are developing very well and it is impossible to sell it. Similarly, other well-known brands cannot be sold unless there are special reasons.
Nie Zhan smiled and said, "What is the right time, right place, and right people? As long as there is enough money, if there are no conditions, we will create them."
Lu Jiaxin disagreed with him and was unwilling to do so: "Every well-known brand is the result of the hard work of several generations. We can't maliciously acquire it because of our own selfish desires, so I would rather not."
Nie Zhan knew her temper and sometimes she would stick to some principles: "Okay, then we will find those brands that are not doing well to acquire."
This time Lu Jiaxin didn't object. The result of poor management is either acquisition or bankruptcy. Instead of bankruptcy and disappearing in the torrent of the times, it is better to acquire and reorganize to rejuvenate.
