My True Friend
Episode 31
See this. The percentage of Youth-Targeted Apartment in thirteen main American cities
and thirty...
This is too long.
Let me tell you this. Everything on here should be succinct.
When explaining this to those board members, your speech must be concise or they wouldn't understand.
Huh...
Isn't this the one you interviewed before? The one that has a kindergarten.
And helps you cover the social security expenses.
What do you think? I'm planning to ask for resources in the headquarters.
I'm all in for this! Hurry up and get it done, then I can...
I'll be the first to settle in.
You know, with apartments like these, who would buy houses?
People who can barely subsist just for buying a house.
Put everything in. Doesn't worth it.
You know what? You fit our target customers' profile perfectly.
Don't worry. When the time comes, she'll settle it for you.
You can trust me.
Then I leave you two to catch up. I'll go get some ice cream for you.
-Thanks. -Okay, thanks
Now we even have target customers!
Actually I think what it is trying to say is...
Income...Class...The relationship between amount of the salary and...
living quality in Youth-Targeted Apartment.
Percentage of Youth-Targeted Apartment...
in thirteen main cities in the United States.
And connection between it and the income increment of white collars within the age group of 20 to 40.
-And... -Connection with average income increment.
Which means, people who have higher income are more willing to...
rent a house.
Right. No wonder I want to buy a house.
Come on.
Okay. So higher the income...What can we learn from the age?
I think it is...
Thank you for your ride back, Miss Lu. I'll get going then.
Yeah, tomorrow I'll return you the amount you paid.
It's nothing! Don't mention it.
Here. This is for you.
You want me to bring this to Peng Cheng? At this time?
Peng Cheng is still at the office. Why don't you give it to him yourself?
This is for you.
I can't have this.
Shao Peng Cheng? He doesn't even care what I give him!
Spent my money and I'd still be angry. It must look good on you.
It's to much for me to accept.
Take it. If you don't take it then that's being disrespectful to me.
Then I'll take it.
There's more.
Okay thank you.
Bye
-Careful. -Okay.
Give me two ice creams
Bye
Why did you leave so early? You didn't even treat me to a bowl of wontons.
Okay if you finish the report, I'll treat you.
Okay you promised.
Xi Shan.
Xi Shan?
Where did she go?
Xi Shan?
You still angry?
Didn't I explain to you yesterday?
Did you stand here the whole night?
Um.
I thought about it the whole night
Did I disrupt your life here by coming to Shanghai?
What are you talking about? I can't be more happy with you here.
I'm thinking...
If you will be happy with Luo Zu'er.
No.
There's only you in my heart. I don't have feelings for anyone else.
I know that having me here in Shanghai is putting more pressure on you.
I'm supposed to understand you
But every single time I see you being nice towards other girls, I feel really sad.
Everyday I tell myself
I need to be more hardworking
Because I don't have a strong family background
I don't have good connections
So I need to count on my handwork to give you a better life
A better life
is not based on money
Feet on the ground and really live .
I never wanted you to work this hard.
You don't give me the security I need.
I am a man.
I can't let my girlfriend live with me in such a bad place
You think that this place has a safe feeling?
Then in order to earn money, you're willing to kiss up to
other women making me feel sad
Now you are making me feel like a mistress.
Zhen Zhen
You got up really early on a weekend.
What did you need me for?
It's nothing. I just wanted to treat you to a meal.
We're eating here?
This place has really good food. Sit down first.
When I went to school, I would always come here to eat.
Thank you!
Sit
Okay
Thank you!
Thanks.
Thank you
Try it
Zhen Zhen
If you didn't have anything to do, why didn't you tell me before?
This is incidental you know, my company cut us slack today.
What's wrong?
If you told me before, I could've prepared
We are always so busy that this kind of date is such rarity. Maybe we could find some place better.
Believe me. This place has really good food. Just try it
I'm not very hungry
Actually I'm just someone that comes from an average family.
This is what my life is. This is the place I would come regularly.
Why are telling me these things?
Aunt Bai showed me your standards of the spouse.
I don't think I fit the profile.
It's fine
If you don't like this place, we can go somewhere else
No.
It's not that I don't want to eat from here
Zhen Zhen
I'll eat some more.
You knew that I'm a nocturnal creature
yet you call me out this early! Are you trying to kill me?
But...It's kind of fun coming out this early.
Eat some breakfast. It's good for your body.
Miss Lu.
This is the money that I owe you
Thank you for helping me yesterday
Here you go again
I already said that you don't need to rush
Also you can send to me through Wechat
I think it's better to thank you in person
Also I wanted to talk to you about something else
I knew you had to talk to me about something
First drink some water
Just tell me
Miss Lu, let me ask you something.
You're so smart, pretty, nice and wealthy
You and Peng Cheng are a perfect couple
But why is Peng Cheng always chasing after Zhen Zhen
Because Peng Cheng is blind
Then you tell me why
Then I'll say the truth but don't get angry
Just say it
I think Zhen Zhen has her perks
she works hard. Most importantly, she can pay her own bill.
Then you're saying that I'm a a useless spoiled rich princess
No
I understand that you have your own problems
But your family background is too nice
You don't even need to work
So if you give it a tiny bit of effort, you can easily beat other girls.
What's your point?
What I'm trying to say is, you got resources and it's fairly easy for you to make a fortune.
Why not use this advantage?
Then prove yourself to Shao Peng Cheng.
Earning money is so hard
I only know how to spend money. I've never thought of earning money
The opportunities are always there, only you are not paying attention.
r
Take SongJIang District as an example.
A two-room apartment costs one million yuan in SongJiang.
If you bought it, then sell it in half a year. You'd earn 20%
But someone as wealthy as you wouldn't just buy one house
You don't need to buy too many, just a whole unit.
After a year or two, you sell them all.
Earning 20 to 30 percent is no problem.
Wait a minute
All the time you've being talking, if I agree to do this
Then what benefits are there?
The fortune comes fast
but some other things are tedious. Like checking out houses.
A girl like you can't do all the hard part.
And the formalities can be complicated.
And I am an intermediary agent.
I can do all the field work for you.
I get it. You ask me to jump in the real estate business, so you can get agency fee.
No, I'm not getting agency fee. We are partners.
You cover the money, I cover the field work. If you fail to profit, then I won't ask for a penny.
Otherwise I get 30 percent.
I get your point
But my dad said no matter what boys say I should never invest in their ideas
But you're not investing in me
Instead I'm helping you earn money while getting a share of it.
Let me think about it
Actually I'm scared that you'll reject my offer
Actually, hanging around and doing nothing
is what Shao Peng Cheng was calling me out for. I do really want to prove it to him.
We've known each other for quite some time
During this time I can see your hard work
And today I can see your sincerity
Which is different from other people who want investments
Thank you! I hope you consider my offer. I won't let you down
In fact, the trick of real estate business is the timing. Opportunities elapse fast.
I haven't been back at school for a long time
Yeah. Do you remember the school assembly every Sunday?
Yeah.
Do you still remember when we first met?
Back then I stood back there watching you dance
On the stage, you were dancing like a white swan
What white swan
Zhen Zhen
Don't put down yourself
Not anything.
It was the most beautiful time
I don't think I'm anything close to perfect.
I have a lot of weaknesses
And have an ordinary life.
And have an ordinary job.
But I value that.
There are multiple ways to show value.
Sit
I'll tell you a story
I never told anyone before
When I started fourth grade
My dad fell ill
My mom couldn't take it.
Laid on the bed for a month
Every single day after school I would make food for my mom and I
One day
she got out.
She told me, "Son, you can't have noodle all day! It's not healthy."
After
She continued to live on
I'm her whole world
Everything she worked on so hard was trying to sustain our family.
Just like my dad
So from when I was little until now
I would work hard in my studies
Work hard on my job. Chasing perfections. I want everything that I do could be perfect.
I always hoped
to have a warm home
I wish to come home everyday to see my loved ones
I know I confess
My view doesn't necessarily fit modern concepts.
But this what I want my family to be like
Jing Ran
I'm always an independent and competitive girl.
After graduation. It was me who asked to stay in Shanghai, wanting to fight for a place to stay.
I changed my job countless times. I got negated, fired.
It was a very hard time but I never gave up
And I never thought of giving up
I hope to succeed through my hard work to prove myself
I have my dream. I have ambitions. I want to do the things I love
I understand everything you said before
So can you understand me
I undertand. I do
You thought it was only you.
Now you have me. We're two people
I really don't want to put you through that again. Believe me. I will take care of you.
But Jing Ran
A lot of outstanding managers went to other companies through you.
I say they got it really good.
I'm flattered, this is merely our responsibilities.
But...Honestly now
there are platforms through us as well.
Everyone knows about your capabilities.
I wonder if you have ever considered moving to a better platform to expand your career.
Director Mu,
just now, you said something that I didn't really agree with.
What was it?
Just now, you said "our Love & Family Real Estate".
"Our" is probably not too accurate.
At the end of the day, Love & Family Real Estate belongs to the Shao family.
Previously, Chairman Sun of Hongshi Realty came looking for us.
He really hopes that you can join them.
And he was especially generous.
He said that as long as you're willing to join their team,
you will be executive vice president.
He guarantees that your salary will be matched, with an additional 5% company shares.
It's not a waiver.
Oh right, he also guarantees an end of year bonus.
Chairman Sun thinks too highly of me.
Director Mu, think about it.
Once you're a shareholder, your status changes completely.
There's a world's difference between an executive worked and a shareholder.
Thank you, Barry, thanks for thinking of me.
But I've been working at Love & Family
for more than 20 years.
I've been working beside Chairman Shao for the past ten years. I have a deep relationship with Chairman Shao and Love & Family.
I really appreciate everything that I have now.
Director Mu means to reject our offer?
Or taking close measure, waiting for the highest bid?
No problem.
You can tell me your thoughts and opinions. I can relay them to Chairman Sun.
I'm already used to Love & Family.
I'm also already 40+ years old.
I no longer want to challenge myself and change environments.
But what you just said was an excuse.
I heard that you're planning to personally
oversee a big housing development project.
And you're confident in leading Love & Family into the next era.
How can you say you're old and not wanting challenges?
You even know this much?
This circle is too small, there are no more secrets.
I know you're extremely busy.
How about we end it here today,
but let's meet again soon. - Ok.
Oh right, if you've reconsidered, you can contact me at any time.
Then, good bye.
Good bye, I won't see you off then.
I already noticed you earlier on. I had a friend with me so I didn't come over.
Why are you eating alone?
I'm too lazy to cook for myself, so I thought to come out for a simple meal.
Who can think I'd run into this?
No I just bumped into a friend and ate lunch with him. You also know Barry
Don't be so nervous, it's normal for someone as talented as you to be head hunted.
I recognize him. I've discussed a career plan with him before,
before you transferred me to Hua Yuan Agency.
Why didn't you tell me
Just based on this point, you could have raised any conditions with me for transferring you to Hua Yuan Agency.
It was my own choice not to go to Hongshi.
I also gained a lot from staying at Love & Family and going to Hua Yuan Agency.
What do you think? His expectations aren't low, right? It's a bit stressful?
Ever since he was little I've always had high expectations
That's why he wouldn't notice the average girl.
I think you are still a little way away
from Jingran's ideal expectation.
Of course, not by a lot. Just a tiny bit.
I'm not very hungry
Jing Ran our differences isn't only off by a little bit
You asked me if I like the real you
But I want to ask you, do you love the real me?
- Hello? - I'm on my way to the head office for my presentation.
Didn't you say you'd give me some encouragement?
You've already practised presenting the project many times.
I'm confident that you'll succeed. I'll be at the agency waiting for your good news!
We gathered everyone for this meeting today to go over two items.
The first item is that I wanted to formally introduce everyone to
is Jing Ran, an interior designer who we painstakingly invited.
I haven't finished speaking yet. Mr. Jing has just returned from Italy not long ago.
Today is his first official working day at Love & Family.
- Thank you for taking care of me. - Mr. Jing,
we've heard of your good name long ago.
It's our great honour that you've accepted our invitation to work with us.
Thank you for your compliment.
I heard it took a lot of efforts to get you here.
Yun Ping, you've worked hard.
It wasn't hard, the important thing is that we've managed to invite Jingran over.
Ok, let's discuss the second item.
The second item,
Everyone should know about Peng Cheng training at our subsidiary.
Recently he's been telling me some new ideas about the rental market.
I think it's quite interesting.
So I told him to prepare a presentation for everyone, ok?
Ok.
Then I'll get started. I ask all the Uncles to please give me your good advice.
This project is called "Big Love City".
In today's society, purchasing a home
is an average family's largest obstacle.
So this "Big Love City" project is to avoid the obstacle of purchasing a home.
We're not going to buy a home, we're going to rent a home.
But Big Love City's goal is to establish long-term rental.
♫ Through hardship with me ♫
♫ How passion causes trouble ♫
♫ And the earth is still spinning ♫
♫ Oh troubles never end ♫
♫ I will keep you safe and sound ♫
♫ When I'm holding your hand ♫
♫ The answer is already in my mind ♫
Xiao Shao has been gone for so long, I wonder how it's going.
Store Manager, I've never seen you worry over someone else's business so much before.
It seems like Xiao Shao, oh wait,
Shao Peng Cheng, is definitely different.
What do you mean?
None of you know?
Um, I don't have any particular meaning.
I just want to say, you don't have to worry about Xiao Shao.
This time's project is going to succeed for sure.
Even if he succeeds, it's based on his own efforts, and nothing to do with our branch.
Even if he fails, it'll only be by a little bit.
But, Xiao Shao succeeding is going to happen sooner or later.
Store Manager, don't worry, Shao Peng Cheng prepared extremely well for this.
I've never seen him treat work so seriously before.
I think he's most likely going to succeed this time.
I also think that he's put a lot of preparation into this. I believe you.
Xi Shan,
Xi Shan, what are you thinking about?
How come I haven't seen Fu Xiaoning today?
You didn't run errands with Xiaoning?
Xi Shan, did something happen?
Nothing much.
What I showed you was the four advantages I concluded from the current situation in China's lease market
and the good news in policies, new conception of residence, as well as our company's perks
in developing long-term apartment and Youth-Targeted apartment
to derive this project's feasibility and significance. Thank you.
Big Love City is just Peng Cheng's developing idea.
All the uncles here need to provide more feedback
to help him complete this project.
I think what Peng Cheng said was very reasonable, and he's thought about it thoroughly.
It seems like this project has really enlightened us old guys.
Yes, Love & Family has done traditional rental projects for many years.
Now that the market has stabilized, we need a breakthrough idea.
That's why we decided to enter the first-hand real estate market.
Peng Cheng has studied abroad for many years,
so your perspective and outlook is definitely different.
Lately, there are couple policies issued
concerning purchase restriction in real estate business.
If we stride into first-hand market now,
for me it's not circumspect enough.
As for Peng Cheng's leasing model
I personally feel that it might have greater potential.
How about this.
Let's have the young people leave the room for a few minutes.
Us old guys will discuss this a bit.
Where's Fu Xiaoning?
He's not here, what are you doing here?
Miss Lu, he's gone out.
If you want to buy or rent a home, anyone of us can help you.
No need.
I'm going into business with Fu Xiaoning.
Cheng Zhen Zhen, you just wait.
I have money, networks,
and brains.
Comparing on the independence, how can I ever get defeated by you?
