What if I have some money as an online car-hailing driver?

Chapter 168 On Pretentiousness, Yang Chen Recognizes Second, No One Dare to Recognize First
Yang Chen returned home.

The leaders of the Municipal Bureau and the beep platform hurried forward to present him with the pennant.

Yang Chen really doesn't want these things, he just wants to drive quietly.

However, people have delivered them to their door, so he can't be too shameless.

"Thank you, everyone. These are the things I should do as the people of Haicheng, so I really don't need to give me a pennant." Yang Chen said tactfully.

The leader of the city bureau: "Don't worry, we didn't have any publicity this time, we just sent it to you internally. The director specifically explained not to bring you trouble, we took a photo as evidence, and I left immediately."

Yang Chen nodded, took a photo with him, and then the people from the city bureau left.

The leader of the beep platform was excited and asked, "I never thought that Master Yang would be so rich and live here."

Yang Chen: "Pull it down, this is my girlfriend's home. Even a beep driver like me can't rent here. Don't mess around, rich people are relatively low-key. If you guys mess with me, I will Then take the driver brothers to the headquarters to protest."

The leader of the beep looked at Yu Shishi, and then said with a smile: "Understood, I understand. Then let's take a photo as evidence, and I will return to my life when I go back."

Yang Chen nodded, and took a photo of the pennant with him, sending them all away.

Yang Chen looked at the two pennants in his hand, feeling a little resistant.

The pennant that others dreamed of, but he received it and felt sick.

Ugh……

Sure enough, being too good is also a kind of trouble.

……

The 60th anniversary of the University of Finance and Economics.

Li Xiaofei came to Yang Chen's place last night, and today the two of them went back to school together.

The whole school is on holiday today, and everyone is free to arrange their own time.

However, the school still requires each class to send some representatives to attend the school celebration.

After all, the alumni who have donated a lot of money still have to give a speech, and no one in the audience is so embarrassed.

After the University of Finance and Economics expanded its enrollment, the new campus has more than 2 people.

Walking on campus is like going to a market, there are people everywhere.

However, Yang Chen is so eye-catching, he is the focus wherever he goes.

Not to mention good-looking and good-looking, a big man of 185, with combed back hair, neat and capable shirt, trousers and leather shoes, this is the look of many girls' dream lovers.

Before they knew it, the two came outside the school auditorium.

At this time, a familiar figure appeared in front of Yang Chen, it was Zhao Feifei who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Zhao Feifei is also a graduate of the University of Finance and Economics, and is eligible to come back to participate in the school celebration activities.

However, Yang Chen didn't respond, and continued to accompany Li Xiaofei into the auditorium.

Zhao Feifei froze for a few seconds, then followed in.

Li Xiaofei whispered: "Brother, do you want me to scold her a few words?"

Yang Chen shook his head, and said: "It's fine to be a stranger, don't have any entanglement with her."

The two found a place to sit down and waited for the activity to begin.

Not long after Yang Chen sat down, Chen Liang called him again.

Chen Liang: "Brother Chen, are you here?"

Yang Chen: "I'm sitting in the auditorium, waiting to hear your speech."

Chen Liang: "Come to the Academic Affairs Office, we have something important to discuss."

Yang Chen: "What's the matter?"

Chen Liang: "Come quickly, you will know when you come."

Yang Chen: "I don't want to go, I'll just wait here."

Chen Liang: "But you have accepted the invitation letter, you will definitely come. Not every alumni has an invitation letter, and the alumni who receive the invitation letter are valued by the school. Since you accept it, you have to show face Come here. Are you right?"

Yang Chen: "Fuck! It's really troublesome. Okay, I'm here."

Yang Chen explained a few words to Li Xiaofei, then got up and went to the Academic Affairs Office.

Made, bumped into Zhao Feifei head-on again in the aisle.

Yang Chen still regarded her as a stranger, and passed by her.

Zhao Feifei couldn't help turning around and looking at Yang Chen's back, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Soon, Yang Chen came to the Academic Affairs Office.

Chen Liang dragged him into the meeting room.

Yang Chen: "Leaders, fellow alumni, hello everyone, I'm Yang Chen. Sorry, I'm late due to the traffic jam on the road."

Principal Ge Sulan said with a smile: "Student Yang, please sit down and welcome back to participate in the 60th anniversary celebration of his alma mater."

Yang Chen nodded with a smile, and sat next to Chen Liang.

It is inevitable for alumni to greet each other when they meet. They are all executives and bosses, and they are all awesome.

Yang Chen nodded with a smile, and said: "It seems that our wealth is very powerful, flowers are blooming all over the world, and all of them are very bright."

"Then what does Yang always do?"

"That's right! If there is any cooperation opportunity in the future, we must think of everyone."

……

Yang Chen replied with a smile: "I am an online car-hailing service. If you need a car in the future, remember to find me."

"..."

The whole place was silent.

Damn, can online car-hailing drivers also come to such a high-level alumni symposium?

What kind of plane is the headmaster doing?

Do you go to the doctor in a hurry?
You can't just do this because of lack of money. Isn't this lowering everyone's status?
Everyone laughed and said nothing.

Chen Liang shook his head helplessly, thinking: "I really don't understand what Brother Chen is thinking. If I am as awesome as him, I wish the whole world would know, but he insists on being so low-key. If you have money, don't pretend to be aggressive. It's like walking in brocade clothes at night, what's the point?"

Ge Sulan now only hopes that what Chen Liang said is the truth, that Yang Chen drives an online car-hailing car to pass the time, not really doing it for a living.

Ge Sulan hurriedly stated the main topic of this symposium. In fact, it was the problem of the land next to the school. He wanted everyone to find a way to buy it from Mingyang Real Estate at a low price.

According to him, the school can only pay 3000 million yuan at most, which means that Mingyang Real Estate will sell it to the school at a loss of 2000 million yuan, not counting the interest and other costs of the funds.

So, how is it possible?
People don't start a company for charity. They bought land for 5000 million yuan, paid various fees and bank interest, and then sold it to the school for 3000 million yuan. Only a fool can do this kind of thing.

The most important thing is that Mingyang Real Estate doesn't want to sell that land at all. Isn't it uncomfortable to develop a commercial area to earn money from a few nearby university students?
The alumni who participated in this symposium scolded Ge Sulan hundreds of times in their hearts, Ma De, if you try to solve some impossible problems, why don't you just go grab it?

"You are all the best graduates trained by our University of Finance and Economics in the past 60 years. Let's find a way to see if we can help our alma mater solve the problem." Ge Sulan said with a smile.

No one spoke.

Ge Sulan said with a smile: "Student Chen Liang, do you have a solution? You are the vice president of an investment bank in the United States. Does this matter?"

Chen Liang likes to act aggressively, not because he likes to make a fool of himself.

"MMP, I'll embarrass myself when I come up, you sand sculpture." Chen Liang cursed inwardly.

Then he replied: "Our Shengjin invests in promising industries, such as technology, tourism, people's livelihood, etc. The real estate industry is currently in a cold winter, and we are determined not to touch it. Therefore, I really can't find this However, if you ask about technology-related relationships, I can find out a lot. For example, Haicheng Mingshang Technology, which makes drones and other products, I have a good relationship with their bosses.”

This guy really wants to save face in his bones, and finally he has to emphasize that he doesn't have social connections, but just doesn't have connections in a crisis-ridden industry like real estate.

Ge Sulan's expression changed visibly with the naked eye, and then he asked with a smile: "Student Chen Ming, do you have a solution? You are in the construction industry, so there should be something to do with it?"

Chen Ming donated 100 million this time, don't let Chen Liang be willing.

Chen Ming is now a contractor, with more than 30 workers under him, and his strength is still very good.

A contractor of this scale can contract some uncomplicated projects alone.

Chen Ming replied with a smile: "Yes, but it may not be effective. I heard that Mingyang Real Estate is going to develop this piece of land into a commercial area. This is a long-term profitable project, and they cannot sell it."

Ge Sulan nodded and said: "I know this, but we have to try it. How about you help me find out?"

Chen Ming nodded, took out his mobile phone and made more than a dozen calls in a row, but in the end he couldn't get it done.

"My friend helped me contact Zhou Xiong, the boss of Mingyang Real Estate. Zhou Xiong clearly replied that he would not sell it for any amount. They just took a fancy to the consumption potential of the University of Finance and the surrounding universities. How could they sell it?" Chen Ming was very helpless. Said.

Other alumni also said that there was no way.

Most of them are alumni who developed in other places, and there is really no way to get the famous local real estate in Haicheng.

Yang Chen was a little confused, is Mingyang Real Estate so powerful?
So many alumni can't afford it.

Only Yang Chen remained silent at the scene.

Ge Sulan said with a smile: "Student Yang Chen, why have you been silent all this time. Is there any way for you?"

Chen Ming said with a smile: "Principal Ge, don't embarrass him. What relationship does he have as an online car-hailing driver to do this? It's not like he can hold down Zhou Xiong by pulling the boss, right?"

Chen Liang hurriedly said: "Senior Brother, you can't say that. Since Brother Chen was invited to participate in the symposium, he has the right to express his thoughts. According to your statement, you are not a good contractor. Isn't it okay for the vice president of the international investment bank to despise you and not let you speak?"

It seems that after the last trip to Jinshan Resort, Chen Liang really surrendered to Yang Chen.

Ge Sulan hurriedly said: "Haha... yes yes yes, the students who can participate in this symposium today can express their own ideas."

But Yang Chen is just an online car-hailing driver after all, and the other alumni don't believe that he can do it from the bottom of their hearts.

As long as he doesn't make a lot of publicity to make Yang Chen famous, it's not that he doesn't want to help his alma mater.

Yang Chen asked: "I really don't know Zhou Xiong, I only called him once. But I know his son Zhou Zhenyang. Last time at the golf course, he tried to steal my field, so I taught him a lesson. I feel that they are not that tall. It’s unattainable. I’ll call and ask, and I should be able to persuade him to sell the land. However, the school only pays 5000 million for the land bought by someone for 3000 million. It’s definitely not enough. I lost more than 2000 million without doing anything. How is it possible? ?”

The alumni all smiled in disbelief, it's really okay to force him to pretend.

An online car-hailing driver also went to play golf, and he was not afraid of being laughed at when he said it.

"Primary school brother, if the school can buy it at the original price or at an increased price, you don't need to think of a way."

"That's right! The problem now is that the school is short of money. The 3000 million yuan was funded by our donations."

"How much did the junior donate this time? If you really can't do it, if you donate more, the school will be able to negotiate with Mingyang Real Estate."

……

Yang Chen said with a smile: "I didn't donate any money."

"what!"

"No donation?"

"What do you mean? How can you sit here without donating money?"

"Principal Ge, didn't you say that only alumni who have donated a lot can come to this symposium? How can he come without donating money?"

……

Ge Sulan quickly explained: "Everyone, don't get excited. I have to ask Chen Liang about this. He said that Yang Chen is very powerful and has a billion-level assets. That's why we sent him an invitation letter."

Chen Liang immediately said: "That's right, I said it. Brother Chen is low-key and doesn't like our high-profile way of donating money. Can't you?"

"He is an online car-hailing driver, and he can't be high-profile if he wants to be high-profile!"

"That's right! It's not that he's low-key, it's that he can't be high-key."

"It's really boring. We donated so much money to be able to sit here, and he can sit here without donating a penny, so what's the point of our donation? In the future, he will also erect a monument with us and engrave characters?"

……

Yang Chen didn't want to argue with these people, so he called Zhou Xiong directly.

Soon, the call is connected.

Zhou Xiong: "Mr. Yang, why did you call me suddenly? My son was ignorant last time. Don't blame Mr. Yang. If you have time, Mr. Yang will come to my place. I will ask Mr. Yang to try the Moutai I just bought. "

Yang Chen: "Haha... Mr. Zhou is too polite, let's talk when we have time. Mr. Zhou is still young, so it's not a big deal. I was so frivolous when I was young, can I be called a young man if I am not crazy?"

Zhou Xiong: "Haha...Mr. Yang is right. It would be great if my son could have one percent of Mr. Yang's maturity. By the way, is it something that Mr. Yang called me?"

Yang Chen: "Well, there is indeed something that needs Mr. Zhou's help."

Zhou Xiong: "Haha...Mr. Yang's words are too outlandish. You are the third shareholder of Zhang Sanfeng's firm. Speaking of which, we are our own people. If you have anything to say, just ask, and I will definitely help if you can."

Yang Chen: "Didn't your company take a piece of land next to the University of Finance and Economics to develop a commercial area? The school is expanding its enrollment, the teaching buildings are not enough, and it is inconvenient for teachers to go back and forth from the city. The school wants to buy that piece of land, Build a teacher's apartment. I don't know if Mr. Zhou can bear the pain and give up his love?"

Famous Real Estate had a bunch of bad things, all of which were settled by Zhang Xiang and his team.

On the surface, Zhang Sanfeng's law firm has solved all the troubles of Mingyang Real Estate.

From another perspective, Zhang Sanfeng's office knew all the scandals about Mingyang Real Estate.

Are you okay?

In addition, Zhou Xiong also knows that Yang Chen has many industries under his name, and also controls many companies. Of course, he doesn't want to make trouble with such a person.

If this piece of land can buy Yang Chen's relationship, Zhou Xiong thinks it's worth it.

However, that piece of land was bought for 5000 million after all, so even if it doesn't make money, it can't lose too much.

Zhou Xiong: "Mr. Yang opened his mouth, and I will definitely try my best to help. We bought the land for 5000 million at the beginning. I don't count bank interest, handling fees, taxes, etc., and Mr. Yang asked the school to give me another 5000 million. Just do it."

But don't look at buying for 5000 million and selling for 5000 million, it seems that there is no loss or profit, but it is not.

To buy land, you have to pay all kinds of taxes, handling fees, etc., plus more than one year of bank interest. These fees add up to a huge sum of money.

For example, bank loans are calculated at an ultra-low annual interest rate of 6%, which means an interest of 300 million yuan a year.

Yang Chen: "The school can only take out 3000 million yuan, and I really can't come up with any extra money. However, I have a way to make up for Mr. Zhou's loss. The school needs to expand the teaching building and build teachers' apartments. Give it to Mingyang Real Estate to undertake the construction. If Mr. Zhou thinks it’s okay, I’ll talk to Principal Ge, and then you can sit down and talk slowly.”

Zhou Xiong: "Is that land used to build teachers' apartments?"

Yang Chen: "Yes!"

Zhou Xiong: "Okay! Then do as Mr. Yang said."

According to regulations, such projects generally require bidding, but such things as bidding are not impossible.

As long as the two sides can negotiate, other issues are not a problem.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen told Ge Sulan about the plan.

The school has set aside a budget for the cost of building teaching buildings and teachers’ apartments. Although it may not be enough, it is enough to pay the down payment. The biggest headache for the leaders is that there is not enough money to buy the land.

Now that Yang Chen helped them convince Zhou Xiong to be willing to sell that piece of land at a price of 3000 million, wouldn't this problem be solved?
Ge Sulan: "Haha... No problem, no problem, just follow Yang Chen's plan. That Zhou Xiong is really willing to sell that land for 3000 million?"

Yang Chen: "Of course. Principal Ge can call him now to have a chat, first make a preliminary determination, and then you two will slowly discuss the details later."

Ge Sulan: "Yes, yes. Then please, Yang, please dial his number. I don't have his number here."

Yang Chen nodded, dialed Zhou Xiong's number again, and handed the phone to Ge Sulan.

The alumni looked at each other in blank dismay, how could driving an online car-hailing car have so much energy?
If they knew that driving an online car-hailing car is so expensive, they would also drive it, and they still struggled a lot.

The call is connected.

Zhou Xiong said very politely: "Mr. Yang, what do you say?"

Ge Sulan: "Hi Mr. Zhou, I'm the arrogant Ge Sulan from Yang Chen's alma mater, University of Finance and Economics. I've always wanted to talk to you before, but I never had the chance."

Zhou Xiong: "Oh, Principal Ge! Hello, hello."

Ge Sulan: "Student Yang said Mr. Zhou is willing to sell the land next to our school at a price of 3000 million, as long as our later construction is undertaken by your company. Is that so?"

Zhou Xiong: "That's right! Mr. Yang is one of his own. If he speaks up, I will definitely give him face. I can make a decision on this matter for you right now. There is absolutely no problem. We will discuss the details of the cooperation in the future. Mr. Yang's relationship is there. We will definitely not let the University of Finance and Economics suffer. I can guarantee this to Principal Ge."

Ge Sulan: "Okay, okay. Haha... Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Xiong: "You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank me, thank Mr. Yang. If it wasn't for him looking for me, I wouldn't be able to leave a project that would make a lot of money and sell it to you at a foolish loss."

Ge Sulan: "Haha... I understand, I understand. Then I won't bother Mr. Zhou, you can do your work first, and we will talk about the details later."

After hanging up the phone, Ge Sulan returned the phone to Yang Chen excitedly, then excitedly held Yang Chen's hands, and said, "Student Yang, thank you very much. You have done a great favor to your alma mater. Not only did you help the school I got the land, and saved 2000 million at once. In this way, I will make a decision now and decide to name the teaching building after Yang Chen Building, do you think it will work?"

what?
After spending one yuan on the phone bill, he got the right to name the teaching building?
How does this make those alumni who are desperately donating more money think?
They should all be sore at the moment, right?
The alumni were all dumbfounded.

They fought openly and secretly to donate a lot of money, but in the end they lost to Yang Chen's one yuan phone fee, who is this damn going to reason with?
But they can't accept it, they don't have Yang Chen's ability.

He didn't donate a penny for the right to name a teaching building, which made Yang Chen feel a little embarrassed.

Before Yang Chen could speak, Ge Sulan said again: "It just so happens that our alumni association still lacks a vice president. If student Yang doesn't mind, you can take the post. From now on, you will be responsible for contacting the alumni who manage the University of Finance and Economics. The president, that is, Wang Zhengxia, the head of the Academic Affairs Office, will contact you. Do you think it will work?"

Oh, how embarrassing this is.

Don't give it away, it's too much, the alumni next to them stopped talking, and they were very unconvinced by their appearance.

Yang Chen didn't donate a dime, and took away two benefits at once.

Brother Chen has always convinced people with virtue, reason, and money. There is no reason for them all to be unconvinced.

Yang Chen: "Principal Ge is too polite, I feel a little embarrassed."

Ge Sulan: "Don't! Don't feel embarrassed, you deserve it."

Ge Sulan is also a good person, as long as she can stabilize the relationship with Yang Chen, she can ask him for help when the school has any difficulties in the future.

There is no innocence in the adult world, only interests.

Yang Chen: "I'll just accept the right to name the teaching building. I won't be the vice president of the alumni association. Let Chen Liang do it for me. I can trust him. Everyone has expressed their hearts for their alma mater's birthday, so I can't just leave it alone. .I think the student activity center is a bit broken, so I'll donate it. Later, you can talk to Mingyang Real Estate, and I will bear the cost of the student activity center. Okay?"

Ge Sulan: "Haha...Student Yang is really outstanding! This is of course a good thing. On behalf of the more than 1 teachers and students in the school, I would like to thank Student Yang for his generous donation. The Student Activity Center is still named after Student Yang. The teaching building is called Yang Chen No. 2 Building, Dahuo Center is called Yang Chen No. [-] Building. What do you think?"

Yang Chen: "I'm a graduate of the University of Finance and Economics, so of course I have to listen to the principal."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

Chen Liang took off happily, and quickly said, "Thank you Brother Chen."

Chen Liang suddenly found that it was good not to fight against Yang Chen, he was much happier than before.

Ge Sulan: "I am so happy today. Thanks to all the alumni for their help. The situation has exceeded our expectations. Let's go, let's go to the auditorium now. As representatives, you must give a speech on stage. Student Yang, you have to speak for a while, and give a speech to the students." Brothers and sisters set an example."

Yang Chen hates this kind of false speech the most, and Zhao Feifei is also present in the auditorium, he doesn't want to see her again.

"I won't go, there are still very important things to do here. Let's go, everyone, I wish you all a happy day at your alma mater." Yang Chen said.

Chen Liang: "Brother Chen, you've already spent all your money, what else is more important than being on stage and setting an example for your juniors?"

Yang Chen: "I've been delayed for too long today, I'm going to solicit customers. After all, I'm an online car-hailing driver, so what if I don't do my job well?"

"..."

All fell silent again.

Chen Liang looked at Yang Chen with a look of admiration, and thought to himself: "I always thought that I was good at acting, but now I know that Brother Chen is the best at acting. In terms of acting, you are second. Absolutely no one dares to recognize the number one. Submit!"

Tch, you are the one who pretends to be aggressive, your whole family is pretending to be aggressive, brother, this is love and dedication, okay?
