High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 368 - 181: Someone Else Offended Him

How enchanting is Bai Qing? Just a soft hum from her sounds like a heavenly melody.

It’s been almost three months since Bai Qing was last seen. Since her return, she has accomplished quite a bit.

For instance, the Green Water Group, meeting with Ye Bingcheng, discussing the progress of reviews and some results.

In his eyes, Bai Qing’s figure is unparalleled. At this moment, her blushing cheek is against his chest. A slight nuzzle, and he can feel the softness of her face.

"Oh darling...are you hungry?"

Li Yang chuckled and said, "Even if I’m not, I’m in the mood to eat."

After all, Bai Qing’s cooking is truly extraordinary, a bona fide chef’s touch, surely tastier than his own mother’s cooking.

But right now, he just wants to hold Bai Qing and indulge in the moment.

Master Jiang’s figure was also excellent, though ultimately a size smaller.

"Shall I get up and make some food for my darling?"

"No, not yet, I’m not satisfied enough yet."

Lately, he has spent a lot of time with Xue Ning, and that sneaky feeling was very exciting.

However, being openly together with Bai Qing brings a greater sense of fulfillment.

For Bai Qing, it’s the same, a strong sense of satisfaction.

She understands better than anyone that at this point, Jiang Banxia no longer holds any competitive edge over her.

The last time Li Yang could acknowledge their relationship, in the future, it would become a luxury.

Who’s to say when Li Yang might marry Jiang Banxia, and without a doubt, she would be the loser.

"Darling, I’ve decided to go back to work at the Green Water Group."

In the past, being a singer was her dream, playing games was her hobby.

But now, her hobby is Li Yang, everything else seems insignificant.

What’s the use of singing? Even if she’s had several hit songs and makes nearly ten million a year, if she’s diligent and takes some commercial gigs, her income could double.

But... it’s meaningless.

Jiang Banxia’s money just sitting in the bank can beat her hard-earned income with interest alone.

Things she doesn’t like, she can grit her teeth and endure; management she isn’t familiar with, she can learn.

Li Yang asked, "Do you have any solutions for the current issues at the Green Water Group?"

Bai Qing hesitated, "I... will learn."

"No need, it’s actually quite simple: find Ye Bingcheng and take the conditions I previously discussed to acquire land in the nearby counties. The Green Water Group’s business remains unchanged, but we’ll add real estate ventures, and I will find someone responsible for the real estate aspect for the group. Just remember one thing: when negotiating with Ye Bingcheng, be tough."

Li Yang didn’t get into the company management details with Bai Qing. On one hand, he was still learning; on the other, it wouldn’t matter in the current situation.

With a clear understanding of future information, management strategies and tactics became secondary.

What matters most is one thing: funding!

With money, everything is negotiable.

"Isn’t the company out of money? Even if we acquire land, we can’t develop it."

"Without money, we can do a private placement. Right now, you have the final say in the company, no one can argue against you. I’ll handle the private placement funding."

"The company’s export business might lose money... should we scale back a little?"

"No need, maintain the export share."

The export business hasn’t been great these last few years, but it will improve in the coming ones.

Even if we take a loss on exports for a couple of years, it’s fine.

After all, in a few years, the market value of selling electric blankets could shoot up to over six billion, a P/E ratio of more than a hundred, and shareholders would still think it’s a bargain.

Moreover, Zheng Dasheng and his group have enjoyed the benefits of the Green Water Group’s stock price gains, surely they should contribute some effort? Assisting with some overseas orders is indeed their duty, so the export business might not necessarily lose money.

Bai Qing asked again, "So, our real estate venture will mainly involve selling houses?"

"Selling houses doesn’t bring in much money, the main thing is selling merchandise. First, acquire the land... I will prepare the project plans later."

Consumption is the core of economics. Selling houses is a one-off deal, and the path Green Water Group takes is different from other real estate companies, with much smaller profit margins.

Other real estate firms, after acquiring land, start financing to build houses, using presales to raise capital to acquire more land, continue financing, and continue presales...

This cycle maximizes leverage for the real estate company.

Any real estate company of scale usually carries debts in the hundreds of billions, even trillions.

Even if Green Water Group acquires land in all nine nearby counties, its real estate scale is rather average, far less compared to others’ hundreds of billions or trillions in scale.

Bai Qing was puzzled, "Selling merchandise?"

"Yes! The core is actually shopping malls."

Many shopping malls will close in the future, but their closure isn’t much related to the environment; it’s purely because some capital is cunning.

Famous ones like Wanda charge exorbitant rent, not to mention their chaotic management, with no assessment system in place for the merchants.

Huge shopping malls packed with unscrupulous merchants, and unwittingly, the consumers become the victims.

This kind of insidious thinking incredibly becomes the industry benchmark.

It is imaginable how rotten the whole industry has become.

Li Yang has eaten at many such malls, and every time felt like opening a blind box, leaving consumers no choice but to accept.

This is the reason commercial real estate is getting worse; no one is willing to pay for such malls.

Similarly, Donglai isn’t cheap, but after every workday, the entire mall is cleared of goods.

Because they let consumers know where their money goes.

Other malls? You go in and mysteriously spend thousands, feeling like a sucker, while the mall always unconditionally sides with the merchants, brushing off the consumers.
