Chapter 130 - 55: Sales Guide Zhang Tao, Real Estate Boss Song Jiang 2
There’s an old saying: trust the people you use, and don’t use the people you doubt.
Since she had already chosen Xue Fan to be the general manager, she was definitely going to give him full authority.
Of course, the main reason was that she didn’t want to overwork herself.
As the boss, her job was to hire people to work for her while she took it easy.
Otherwise, what was the point of being the boss?
She might as well just be an employee.
Xue Fan looked at her in disbelief. "Boss, are you serious?"
Jiang Li nodded. "Couldn’t be more serious."
She reached out and patted Xue Fan’s shoulder. "So you’ve got a lot riding on your shoulders."
"But I’m not a slave driver. If your performance is good, I can give you some shares."
’If she wanted to keep Xue Fan for the long haul, she had to tie his interests to the company’s.’
’And stock was the strongest tie of all.’
’But she couldn’t just hand out shares casually. After all, Xue Fan, Liu Hui, and the rest of their team had all joined the company together.’
’If she suddenly gave him shares without any major accomplishments to show for it, she was afraid Liu Hui and the others would be upset.’
’One was the general manager, the other was the deputy general manager.’
’Whoever proved more capable would get the shares. She wouldn’t play favorites.’
Xue Fan’s eyes lit up. "Are there any performance metrics?"
Jiang Li thought for a moment. "You’ll need to hit a profit margin of at least 75%."
’Gu Mingyuan, as a CEO, was expected to generate 80% returns. For Xue Fan, a general manager—and one for a diamond mining company at that—75% was the absolute minimum.’
Xue Fan pressed his lips together, his head bowed as he seemed to consider the feasibility of the target. Finally, he nodded. "Alright. I’ll do my best."
Shen Yanzhi, who had been a silent observer until now, patted Xue Fan’s shoulder. "You can do it."
Xue Fan nodded. "Thank you, Boss’s Husband."
She’d seen the company, the organizational structure was clear, and there was nothing left for her to do.
After going over a few more important points with Xue Fan and Liu Hui, Jiang Li and Shen Yanzhi didn’t stay long before leaving the company.
Gazing at the brand-new office building, Jiang Li sighed. "I never thought I’d own a diamond mining company one day."
Shen Yanzhi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "If you keep going like this, you’ll end up with businesses in every country."
Jiang Li’s eyes lit up as if she’d just heard the most amazing idea. "I know what we’re doing next!"
Shen Yanzhi paused. "What’s that?"
Jiang Li flashed a wicked grin. "Buy real estate!"
Without waiting to see his reaction, she grabbed his hand, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the largest real estate agency in the city.
The moment she walked in, she announced magnanimously to the sales agent, "Bring me the contracts for every unsold property you have."
Shen Yanzhi couldn’t help but wet his lips, tugging on Jiang Li’s sleeve. "Are you going to buy that many?"
Jiang Li took his hand in hers, looking him straight in the eye. "Trust me!"
’If it hadn’t been for Shen Yanzhi’s offhand comment just now, the idea of buying up property everywhere wouldn’t have even crossed her mind.’
’Even if all her companies went bankrupt in the future, as long as she had real estate, she’d have a hefty income from reselling or renting it out.’
Seeing how determined Jiang Li was, Shen Yanzhi could only let out a silent sigh. "Alright. If you want to buy them, buy them."
He pulled his phone from his pocket and checked his total balance across a few platforms. "I’ve got a little over two billion. Why don’t I give it all to you?"
’Buying so much in one go would naturally cost a fortune.’
Jiang Li smiled gently. "No need. I have money."
’She thought it was a big enough deal that Shen Yanzhi had agreed to her crazy idea, but she never expected he’d be willing to foot the bill, too.’
’With a husband like this, what more could a wife possibly want?’
The sales agent wondered if he was hearing things. He saw the couple whispering to each other, and only after they finished did he ask again, just to be sure, "Ma’am, are you certain?"
Jiang Li waved her hand dismissively. "I’m certain. Go get the paperwork. We’ll sign the contracts now."
Suppressing the urge to scream, the agent invited them to have a seat, his voice trembling. "Please, have a seat. I’ll go get the contracts right away."
He even stumbled a little as he walked away.
The agent was gone for more than ten minutes. It took him and three of his colleagues to finally bring over all the contracts.
"Ma’am, these are all our unsold developments. They include retail spaces, residential apartments, villas, and commercial towers, among others."
Jiang Li nodded. "Yes, that’s fine. Tally up the total cost."
The agent swallowed hard. "Because you’re making such a large purchase, I was able to apply for a 12% discount for you. The grand total is 9.8 billion."
’If this sale goes through, my commission alone will be enough to set me up for life.’
Jiang Li raised an eyebrow. ’Cheaper than I thought.’
’Still, for this much money, I’ll definitely have to fleece the System a bit.’
"Put half in my name, and the other half in my husband’s name."
While Shen Yanzhi was pleased to hear Jiang Li call him her husband, he already had more than enough property to his name. "No need. Put it all in your name."
