Chapter 1149 - 1151
"I think this proposal isn’t bad."
"Then why don’t you draft a plan."
Zhao Xu Ran felt that Gong Ruini just said a bit, and that was not enough; it had to be more comprehensive to work.
No way, Gong Ruini’s eyes widened significantly.
At this moment, Gong Ruini seemed to say, whoever wants this guy can take him, she’s regretting now.
Gong Ruini finally understood why in his previous life this guy didn’t have as many benefactors but could still become a president; it was because he was exceptionally ruthless and heartless.
She is clearly a delicate woman with many things to handle, yet this guy did not think there should be any sympathy at all.
"I am your girlfriend."
"Not your subordinate."
"Don’t you know I still have a planning report to write?"
"Do you think I’m superwoman?"
No way. As soon as Gong Ruini thought about the upcoming final exams, she felt all sorts of exhaustion.
"I need to study, or I won’t get the scholarship."
"I want to be on top, crushing them along the way." Hmph, she must not make a mistake knowing many are waiting for her to fall from the top spot.
Crushing them along the way? Zhao Xu Ran wanted to say just by seeing you chew through law books as easily as if they were cabbage, who in the entire law department could compete with you?
But seeing his wife looking so serious and tense, Zhao Xu Ran kept silent.
What if a dark horse really appears? His wife would be very unhappy.
"No rush, no rush, exams are the priority."
Gong Ruini heard this and felt hopeful, blinking as she looked at Zhao Xu Ran, wondering if this guy had a conscience and was planning to take over this matter himself.
She was so happy that she almost said Zhao Xu Ran was quite the man.
"It’s already January, my suggestion won’t make it." Zhao Xu Ran then remembered something important.
"Even though we could hastily start the project, it’s too late to get skilled ice sculptors from the Northeast."
Zhao Xu Ran had no intention of doing a slapdash job; even if the sculptures were beautifully made next year, they wouldn’t leave a good impression in people’s memories.
"It’s better to take it slow and aim to do well by next winter."
"Besides, this matter needs to be discussed with the village; it’s not something we can rush into ourselves." Zhao Xu Ran thought of the many preparations required, which wouldn’t be resolved by a mere discussion between them.
Ahhh, how excessive! Gong Ruini realized she still had to write those planning reports, with the timeline just pushed back.
The despicable capitalist! Gong Ruini wished she could throw knives at Zhao Xu Ran, imagining them flying close to him, piercing the wood plank, just to scare him half to death.
"The clubhouse is not urgent either." Saying it’s not urgent was a lie, but a critical issue was money.
"By the way, how do you plan to build this clubhouse?" Even though there’s no money currently, they could start by looking at land.
"Build a building with several basement floors for parking, and multiple entrances." Although it would attract journalists, it wouldn’t do to have just one entrance.
"Several basement floors for parking?" My God, Zhao Xu Ran thought, is it necessary to be this extravagant?
"Yes." Gong Ruini was very clear; the future club aiming to be one of the top in Beijing or nationally must have a large basement.
Otherwise, when more members join and there’s a grand party, like an end-of-year celebration, and there aren’t enough parking spaces, it would be ridiculous.
"Brother Xu Ran, when we bought a car back then, there were only a few cars outside Beijing. How many are there now?" Gong Ruini recalled the excitement in their family when they first purchased a car.
Strolling around the big roads in Beijing, there were hardly any cars, but look now, how the number of cars has increased.
"In future, as wealthy individuals rise, more and more will buy cars."
Zhao Xu Ran fell into contemplation; yes, driving is becoming more common now, and it will be even more so in the future.
There’s no way when more people come, they’ll have to scour the city to find spots, especially when the visitors are people of great importance; pushing them away like that wouldn’t be good.
"Build, definitely build several large parking structures." Even if they stay vacant, the family’s cars could park there later.
"I think if possible, we should build it near the Forbidden City." The Forbidden City, even without an emperor, still carries some regal aura, right?
More importantly, standing by the window and seeing the Forbidden City, the feeling is extraordinary.
It would evoke a sense of grandeur and, most importantly, this is a golden area in Beijing.
Though currently the land price seems sky-high, in a few years, it would seem like a cabbage price.
Of course, they must buy, "What do you think?"
Building near the Forbidden City comes at a price, for example, the cost of acquiring the land is high.
But think, when guests come and see the magnificent Forbidden City, what would they think.
"Agree. It’s a display of power."
"And build a high-rise." Once you decide to build, there’s no skimping. "And there should be an indoor swimming pool."
While domestic attention to health and wellness isn’t high, Zhao Xu Ran and his peers have had practitioners of Chinese medicine with them since childhood, well-versed and supportive of health maintenance.
Moreover, Zhao Guangran, studying in the United States, mentioned how wealthy Americans are super attentive to their health, frequenting gyms to stay fit.
Zhao Xu Ran expressed that once the population reaches that stage, they would consider fitness, boosting public health.
Gong Ruini picked up her notebook and recorded what they discussed today, although this project could be postponed.
But postponement doesn’t mean ignoring it; Gong Ruini was determined to note everything down and once her exams ended, she would slowly start working on the plan.
Regarding this plan, Gong Ruini expressed that she would give her all to make it successful. If this project runs well, it won’t just be about making money, but also expanding their network.
For instance, they could assist Gong Ruwen in managing investments, helping him achieve results quickly no matter where he is.
Zhao Xu Ran also thought if they could connect with more people, not expecting too much help when in trouble, but at least forming an alliance would attract some attention.
"I’ll mention it to Dad before the holiday." The report isn’t urgent; that can wait. But the land won’t wait for them; they have to act fast and seize it.
Ahhh, Gong Ruini originally thought post-New Year they might have money, but unexpectedly they need to hurry before the New Year, though hoping the timing to scout for land takes a bit; what if they coincidentally find the location?
"Prime land, especially near the Forbidden City, is highly sought after." While the clubhouse site doesn’t require much space, it still faces strong competition from office buildings and hotels.
Zhao Xu Ran felt the pressure extensively, uncertain if they could smoothly secure satisfactory land, and thus, speed was essential.
Upon hearing Zhao Xu Ran’s analysis, Gong Ruini was immediately frightened into agreeing with his approach.
After all, good things attract many competitors, and if they don’t act swiftly, she would be the one crying.
