Chapter 105 - Target Real Estate

Thinking so, Jill shook her head, "I don't have a plan yet, my boss wants me to target China, so I need some time to get to know China, for now just to talk to you guys about the $1 million first, hopefully this money will be a starter fund for us to do something in the future, not something that will be spent."

Sitting across from Jill, Jane Shin suddenly said, "Actually, Jill, I don't think I can spend all of my monthly daily allowance, so I can put more in this fund."

Traitor!

Wish Momo stared past her subconscious, then reacted and immediately looked at Jill as well, "I can put more money in this fund as well."

A million dollars would have been an even split between the four of them, and if the three of them had more, the blonde goblin's percentage would certainly be less. After that night together, the three women were naturally closer, if not some sort of ridiculous blood pledge. In any case, the initiative must be more in the hands of the three of them, and not let this maid lead them by the nose.

Jill, however, was very good at this, and followed it up with, "Well, I can put some more money in it, too."

Three people all said so, because the couch was occupied can only sit next to the stirrups on the character Ben and some go with the flow of the Tao Yue Lei followed the statement, but also schoolgirls like to raise their hands: "I ...... me as well."

The four women all stated their positions and couldn't help but look at Jill.

Jill looked at her as well, and then to the three of Zhu Momo, "I talked to Simon, in fact, Zhao and the others were specifically chosen by me, and will be our team from now on, so we should accept them into the team as long as they are willing."

Zhu Momo stared at Jill, "It always feels like you're pulling Simon's tiger skin."

Annie Zhao translated truthfully and also explained, but Jill was not guilty in the slightest: "If you have any doubts, next time you see Simon, you can ask for confirmation in person."

Wish Momo said, "I'm sure I will."

Janine spoke up again and asked, "So, Gil, what do we do next?"

"Do what you have to do," said Jill, looking at the three in turn, "Jane, Tao, the boss said that he could put you two on the Vimy catwalk, and I'm sure you all understand what that means in the few months that you've been in America, and it's enough to make you famous. However, the boss is also very clear, the premise is that you two must be up to standard in the next few months. So your next thoughts should be on that, and I'm sure Elite will provide you with the best training resources available. As for wishing ......"

"Call me Momo, isn't it strange why you Westerners always call people by their last name?"

"All right, Mo."

"Momo."

"Momo, Ms. Davis has arranged for you to meet the acting teacher tomorrow morning. I understand that Zhang is the best director you have in China, and that script ......" Jill said looking down at the memo before continuing, "'Something to Say', was handpicked by the owner himself, and direct investment from Danielle Entertainment, so you need to quickly Get some acting fundamentals. Like Tao and the two of them, if you can't pass the audition in the future, with your boss's personality, the role still won't be given to you. However, once you get the role, with Zhang's influence, you'll definitely become famous in China as well when the work is released next year."

Zhu Momo nodded, of course she understood this, it was the director of Red Sorghum, and having read the script privately, she also understood why Simon let her play that role instead of giving it to Jane Xin or Tao Yuelei, because her personality, and the An Hong in the script had a lot of similarities instead.

Thinking this way, Zhu Momo quickly looked at Jian Xin, "Then what do you do?"

"As I just said, as an aid in helping the three of you get your careers on track, I'm also going to focus on getting familiar with China. So, more than Jane and Tao, I'd like you to get that role, and then, during filming, I can follow you to China and get to know the country up close. If you fail, I'll have to find another opportunity.

Zhu Momo finally nodded slightly.

Jane Xin said again: "Jill, the MBA you just mentioned, I seem to know something about it. That, can you be more specific about what you plan to do or what you're good at, but we're planning to hand over a million dollars to you, so there has to be some bottom?"

Gill considered for a moment and said, "I have not done any specific commercial projects. However, over the course of the past two years, I've done a lot of research on the real estate industry in the Commonwealth, and over in China, conditions permitting, I'd like to start in that area as well."

Gill's past work had involved helping Simon with various properties and occasionally being involved in the acquisition of various properties, it wasn't just a big hand waving a cheque, the last thing Simon liked was to be treated like a wrongdoer, so the Vickers' buying team needed to have a fair amount of knowledge of the industry in order to make the best deal for their employer.

Sort of close to home, Jill went along and started delving into the real estate industry.

Zhu Momo was clearly in a mood, only to subconsciously say again, "Gil, the real estate industry in China and the U.S. is a completely different story."

Although only from a small bureaucratic family from a remote county in Yunnan, but because China had experienced a huge Hainan real estate bubble a few years ago, which affected the whole country, Zhu Momo's family was in the circle of ears and eyes, compared to the children of ordinary people, the girl knew a lot of insider knowledge about real estate.

The most impressive is that a lot of people got rich overnight by speculating on properties in Hainan.

She nodded approvingly, "That's why I took the time to understand. The last time the boss visited China, signing projects involved real estate, which means the boss is also bullish on China's real estate industry."

Tao Yuelei, who was listening more than speaking, quietly converted the $1 million in funds owned by several people, which was just over $8 million, and couldn't help but say, "Jill, do we have enough money to do real estate?"

Jill hadn't answered yet, Zhu Momo had already said, "It depends on where, Beijing is certainly not enough, but if you go to our county, one million dollars is a huge amount of money."

Jane Xin teased, "Running to your small county to build a house, you buy it?"

"I'm just an analogy," Zhu Momo said, and then remembered something, "My county certainly isn't going to work, but our county is next to Dali, so it might work there. Dali is near the Erhai Sea, the scenery is very good, many people will come here specially for a holiday, and in recent years there has been discussion about developing tourism, tourism and real estate should be closely related, right?"

That last one was to look at Jill.

Jill nodded, "Yes."

The more I spoke, the more I thought it was feasible, and said, "Then let's pick Dali, and our family has good connections there, so it'll be easy to do."

Zhao Annie, who was sitting next to Zhu Momo, translated the girl's words and looked at her again, "Momo, you seem to be implying that we're doing something bad."

Zhu Momo quirked a glance at her, "In China, with no background and no connections, it's weird that you can get into real estate. If we run to invest, they'll definitely cry and welcome it at first. However, if you don't have enough connections to back it up, when your money is thrown out, it's like a fat pig on a pot, and it's likely to be eaten until there are no bones left."

It had to be said that although she hadn't even finished high school, but for certain things, Zhu Momo, who was naturally keen and happened to live in a certain circle, simply hit the nail on the head.

Jane Xin didn't make any comments on Zhu Momo's words, but rather discussed the matter on its own merits and said, "I still think, Momo, for example, from Beijing to Dali, the train ride is estimated to take three days and three nights, and even if the scenery is too good, the location is really too remote."

Zhu Momo said, "Where do you need three days and three nights, it's only about two days, and there's an airport in Dali."

"How many people can afford to fly?"

Zhu Momo was clueless about certain issues and said without much thought, "We can develop real estate specifically for the type of people who can afford to fly."

Jill had been listening intently to Annie Zhao's translation, and was surprised to see Zhu Momo talking about it, then jacked in, "Momo, where you, um, are you sure there are really a lot of people going on vacation?"

Zhu Momo nodded, "Yes, because it's really beautiful, the air is good, the scenery is good, and a few years ago there was a Hong Kong businessman who bought an island specifically on the erhai to build a clubhouse, it's mysterious, and there are guests from all over the country."

Gil: "In that case, maybe, the next time there is a chance, you can take me to see it."

Zhu Momo was very bold: "No problem."

Tao Yue Lei saw the topic coming to an end, slightly hesitant, and finally asked, "Gil, that, next time, when can we meet Simon?"

At that, both Wish Momo and Jane Shin looked at her, and both turned quickly to Jill again.

To their disappointment, Jill also shook her head, "It depends on the boss's schedule." Saying that she remembered her experience of waiting patiently for two years, the ghostly girl threw cold water on the three girls, "Actually, the boss should be in New York right now."

Zhu Momo stared at her, "Didn't he, the day before yesterday, say he was back in Los Angeles?"

"Yeah," Jill nodded, shrugged again, and said, "It's only a four-hour flight from L.A. to New York, and the boss has three Boeing 767s at home alone."

"But ......"

Jill swept over the three women, "Frankly, the boss has a lot of lovers, and you're just three of them."

Wish Momo caught the bug correctly: "So you don't count?"

Jill gave her a blank stare and continued, "Well, we're just four of them. The boss is an elitist, and the women that he can look at are not only good looking, but also have excellent personal abilities. So, if you guys are just pretty and won't do anything, you might soon be completely forgotten by the boss."

Wishing Momo shifted her body and tried to collapse on the couch in a half-sincere 'wail', "Ahhhh, why should I try when I'm so pretty."

Jill looked at her and quirked her lips, "It's okay if you don't want to try, follow me, I'm in charge of trying, but you have to do what I say."

Wishing Momo was fighting again, needling her, "Why don't you follow me, I'll be in charge of the effort and you'll do what I say."

Jill clearly wasn't going to fight her, "Well, that's it for today, I'm going to go look in the kitchen."

Just getting up, she was called out again by Janine, "Jill, you haven't said anything yet, Simon, I mean, why is he, like, in New York again?"

"Tomorrow Verizon Telecom is listed, and if you want to know more, let Annie explain it to you."

As Jill left, the three girls looked at Joanne together again.

She is also a doctoral student at the University of Pittsburgh, and although Pitt is not an Ivy League school, she is on a full scholarship, which is why she was chosen.

Although not showy, in terms of brains, it's quite a bit stronger than the next three put together.

As for the listing of Verizon, compared to the three women who are still basically two-eyed about the Westeros system, Annie Zhao certainly knows a lot and said, "It's a telecom company within the Westeros system, and it will officially go public tomorrow, and Simon will definitely attend the bell-ringing ceremony, so it should be in New York at the moment."

Wish Momo was curious, "The bell ringing ceremony?"

"In the old days when a company was listed on the U.S. stock market, corporate executives would ring a bell to announce that the stock was starting to trade, but now it's electronic, but it still retains the name."

Jane Shin followed up with, "So, what's Verizon's market cap?"

"The IPO is valued at around $40 billion, but the market has been very bullish on the companies associated with the Westeros system, perhaps doubling in just the next two days after the listing."

Wish Momo's eyes lit up, "So can we buy stock in this company, with the $1 million we have?"

Joanne splashed cold water on the IPO subscription, "The IPO subscription is over, and you can't get this hot stock unless you get Simon to help."

"I mean after the IPO."

"There's certainly not going to be too much institutional selling of shares in the short term, which is why the share price is so high."

Annie Zhao said, but remembered the current NASDAQ stock market has fallen into madness, now ...... directly with the $1 million stock speculation is a good idea. Of course, it is also very dangerous, because no one knows when the bubble has been very serious technology stock market will collapse.

The money wasn't hers after all, and Annie Zhao hesitated a little, but still didn't give advice.

After a few more conversations to end the topic, Jane Xin and Tao Yuelei also left the living room for the time being, and Zhu Momo, who was planning to call home, took a look at the Vacheron Constantin watch on her wrist that she had just gotten yesterday, and then snapped her fingers and began to calculate. Knowing what she was counting, Annie Zhao slightly rolled her eyes: "There's exactly a 12-hour difference between New York and Beijing, and it's 7 am on the Chinese side, so there's still a need to calculate."

Scum Zhu Momo was a little hung over, "I'm telling your fortune for you, be careful, you've had a bloodbath recently."

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be quite accurate, I'm impressed."

Zhu Momo reacted, pooed to Annie Zhao, eyes turned, slowly and methodically fished over their own high heels, silently set, and then get up, is the tallest of the three girls 182 cm, plus 12 cm of exaggerated heels, simply rushed two meters.

Annie Zhao, who was only a mere one and a half meters out, still felt a bit of suppression filled with intense malice even though she was sitting on the couch.

That's bullying.

Deliberately collapsing her face very queenly and looking down at Annie Zhao for a moment, before some female doctor tried to open her mouth to retort, wishing Momo a flick of her hair, proudly snorting, and walking towards the stairs with her heels yadda yadda yadda yadda.

Back in her own room, the girl immediately lost her new cold arrogance, threw off her heels again, flopped down on the big bed, picked up the phone on the nightstand, started authenticating dials one by one, and waited.

A few moments later, the call came through.

Hearing the voice from across the room, Wish Momo's tone was more than a little petulant: "Mom, it's me."

Transoceanic calls not only have a severe electrical noise because they have to go through so many transfers, but there are also noticeable gaps in the conversation.

After chatting like this one sentence at a time for a while, Wish Momo finally got down to business: "Mom, I just got a boyfriend."

Being Simon Westeros's lover is something that definitely can't be too straightforward. But, I turned out to be Simon Westeros's lover, and it's really hard not to confide in him about this kind of thing, so Zhu Momo has been processing it in her brain since yesterday, planning to communicate with her parents over in China today.

Not at all the truth, of course.

Half-truths.

The point is to have a very, very good boyfriend.

Rich.

Well, change, richer.

And then, very generous, as well as, very handsome.

As for the matter of the upcoming Chang movie, again, it's best to hold off on telling her parents until the role is completely finalized, or else, one too many turns at a time, and her mother-sama will probably think she's been cheated, in case she runs to America for that and it's a big deal.
