Chapter 253 The Shock of the Time
"This is too luxurious!"
Entering Lambert's mansion, Jiang Meiyan couldn't help but exclaimed.
Although she had seen Tomson Yipin and the villas in Hongsheng Villa District, the level of luxury could not be compared with this Lambert mansion.
Following Shi Yi who came in, Shi Yuanyuan was also shocked by the luxury of Lambert's mansion.
"Does this house cost nine figures?" Shi Yi murmured.
"At least 150 million euros." Cai Ling said.
"What?"
Shi Yi and the other three looked in disbelief.
One hundred and fifty million euros? Wouldn’t it cost about one billion yuan?
Is this Lambert mansion so valuable?
Even though he knew that Jiang Chen was rich now, he never thought that Jiang Chen would spend such a huge amount of money to buy a luxury house in France.
"Brother, you are too wasteful!" Jiang Meiyan couldn't help but say.
"Prodigal? If I had known, I should have let you stay in a hotel just now." Jiang Chen said angrily.
"Sister-in-law, do you think my eldest brother is a prodigal?" Jiang Meiyan was not afraid of Jiang Chen at all, but ran to Shi Yi, holding Shi Yi's hand and asked.
"You must be a loser." Shi Yi nodded.
Buying such an expensive mansion is not a waste of money.
"So sister-in-law, you have to take care of my eldest brother." Jiang Meiyan said.
"I can't control it..."
Shi Yi is already immune to Jiang Meiyan calling her sister-in-law.
This little girl is a ghost like Shi Yuanyuan.
"Johnson, go prepare dinner." Jiang Chen said to Johnson.
"Okay." Johnson heard this and left.
Jiang Chen said to Jiang Meiyan and Shi Yuanyuan, "You can choose which room you want to live in."
"good."
Jiang Meiyan and Shi Yuanyuan nodded quickly.
"Shi Yi, go help them." Jiang Chen said to Shi Yi.
"Okay." Shi Yi nodded and took Shi Yuanyuan and the others upstairs.
Jiang Chen looked at Cai Ling.
"Mr. Jiang."
Cai Ling was very respectful at this time.
"Miss Cai, I will trouble you to be our translator in the next few days, but there are some things you cannot leak. As compensation, I will give Miss Cai a reward." Jiang Chen said to Cai Ling.
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I know what to do." Cai Ling did not refuse. Although she didn't know Jiang Chen's identity, someone who could even afford Lambert's mansion must have an extraordinary identity, far beyond what she, a senior executive of CT Company, could offend.
"You can stay here for the next few days. I'll ask the housekeeper to arrange a room for you." Jiang Chen said.
"Okay." Cai Ling nodded.
…
When Jiang Chen arrived on the second floor, Jiang Meiyan and Shi Yuanyuan had already chosen a room.
Now he walked to Shi Yi and whispered: "Let's go and see our room."
"I, I don't live with you." Shi Yi's face turned red.
"If you don't live with me, who else do you want to live with?"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but pulled Shi Yi towards the master bedroom.
Arriving at the master bedroom, Jiang Chen's eyes fell on the luxurious bed.
"Not bad, I'm very satisfied."
"Don't think too much, I'm here to have fun." Shi Yi warned.
"I know."
Jiang Chen nodded.
Paris is the city of romance, and I came here to deepen my relationship with Shiyi.
Other communications are secondary.
"By the way, didn't you graduate from a third-rate university? Why do you know French?" Shi Yi asked the question in his mind.
"Self-taught." Jiang Chen replied.
"Self-study? You've learned so well through self-study, do you think I believe it?" Shi Yi obviously didn't believe it.
"What's so unbelievable? I'm not very good at calligraphy, painting, riding, shooting, and guzheng. French isn't difficult, right? Not only French, but I can also learn other languages." Jiang Chen stepped forward and hugged Shi Yi and said : "You have many abilities as a man, and you will slowly discover them in the future."
"But, if you are so good, why did you only go to a third-rate university?" Shi Yi was very puzzled.
"Low-key." Jiang Chen couldn't explain this, so he could only explain it this way.
"Low-key?" Shi Yi thought for a while and felt that this explanation was feasible. After all, being famous is not necessarily a good thing: "Where is this Lambert mansion? Although I have never been to France, I want to buy this Lambert mansion." It’s not easy to live in a mansion.”
"I have made a lot of money in the past few years. Although the price of Lambert Mansion is high, it is still affordable. What's more, I bought Lambert Mansion not only because of its luxury. There are other reasons, this The reason is the same as the purpose of my coming to Paris, France this time." Jiang Chen explained.
"Then what is your purpose for coming to Paris this time?" Shi Yi asked what he had always wanted to ask.
"Attend the Hermès shareholder meeting."
Jiang Chen felt that it could be better explained by linking the Hermès shares with Lambert's mansion.
"Hermès shareholders meeting?" Shi Yi looked at Jiang Chen and asked in shock: "Are you still a Hermès shareholder?"
Although Shiyi does not pursue fashion, he also understands fashion.
She is no stranger to the luxury brand Hermès.
It can be said that among luxury brands, Hermès ranks high.
Hermès shares are even more valuable.
But she never associated Hermes and Jiang Chen.
"I acquired the shares of Hermès some time ago." Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Hermès is one of the most famous luxury brands. With good performance and high dividends, it can be left to our son."
"Nonsense, our son...I won't have a child with you..." Shi Yi blushed with embarrassment.
"Are you sure you don't want to have a baby with me?" Jiang Chen asked.
"I..." Shi Yi couldn't answer. After all, she also knew that it was reasonable for her to have children with Jiang Chen in the future.
"Shi Yi, you are so beautiful."
Jiang Chen lowered his head and kissed her.
After a while, Shi Yi pushed Jiang Chen aside: "You didn't lie to me because you were bored by attending the Hermès shareholders' meeting alone, right? You were worried that I wouldn't come, so you asked me to take Shi Yuanyuan with you?"
"Shi Yi, these are not important anymore." Jiang Chen said.
"You are indeed like that, hum." Shi Yi turned around.
"Are you angry? I originally only wanted to come with you, but who told you to..."
"Don't say..." Shi Yi glared at Jiang Chen.
She brought Shi Yuanyuan to Paris, France to keep things under wraps, but what she wanted was to keep things under wraps, and she was sure to seal Shi Yuanyuan's mouth.
"Okay, I won't tell." Jiang Chen nodded quickly: "Today is the 15th. I will attend the shareholders' meeting the day after tomorrow. It should only take half a day. Let's plan carefully what to do next."
"We're planning now, don't you think it's too late?" Shi Yi said.
"You mean you've got Cai Ling ready?" Jiang Chen reacted.
"Yeah." Shi Yi nodded.
"Cai Ling should be a senior executive of the CT company, right? How could she..." Jiang Chen had been thinking about this problem just now.
"Cai Ling's teacher is friends with my teacher. This time I thought you didn't know French either, so I asked my teacher to help." Shi Yi explained.
"That's it." Jiang Chen understood.
I just don’t know if the plot of the drama "Across the Ocean to See You" has begun.
…
A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Chen brought Shi Yi and the others to the restaurant.
The restaurant of Lambert House is not only equipped with a luxurious Catellan Italia brand dining table, which can accommodate 10 people for dining at the same time, but there are also two Brand Van Egmond brand crystal chandeliers above the dining table, which can be said to be extremely luxurious.
"Brother, what shall we eat tonight?" Jiang Meiyan was not restrained. Although it was extremely luxurious, to her, Jiang Chen's home was just like her own home.
"It's natural to eat French food when you come to Paris. If you're not used to it, we can eat other food." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"I haven't eaten authentic French food yet!" Jiang Meiyan forked a piece of steak and ate it.
"Then eat quickly."
Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Since you don't want to rest yet, we will go out for a walk later. However, we must come back to rest in three hours. You can play anywhere you want tomorrow."
"good."
The two girls quickly agreed.
After the meal, everyone went to the commercial street of Paris under the leadership of Cai Ling.
"Jiang Meiyan, Shi Yuanyuan, don't get separated." Jiang Chen instructed.
"Don't worry." Jiang Meiyan took Shi Yuanyuan's hand and ran forward.
Jiang Chen and Shi Yi quickly followed.
In three hours, less than one-tenth of the entire commercial street was visited. Jiang Meiyan and Shi Yuanyuan were still in high spirits, but Jiang Chen still took them back to Lambert's mansion.
"Take a shower and sleep."
Jiang Chen's tone left no room for doubt.
"knew."
Jiang Meiyan and Shi Yuanyuan returned to the room.
Jiang Chen looked at Cai Ling: "Miss Cai, I wonder if you can find some tour guides who are proficient in French or English tomorrow. No, it doesn't matter even if they are not tour guides. Well, it is best to be Chinese."
Jiang Meiyan and Shi Yuanyuan were playing so crazy. He and Shi Yi could only follow them tonight. If this was the case in the next few days, then he and Shi Yi might not be able to have a world together.
"This... is okay." Cai Ling thought for a moment and said, "However, the people I know are all my colleagues. They are all in the UK and will not arrive until at least tomorrow afternoon."
"That's okay." Jiang Chen nodded and said, "But I'm a little curious. You are a senior executive of the CT company. How come you have time to come here in person?"
"Because I'm on vacation right now, I came right after I received a call from the teacher." Cai Ling replied.
"I see." Jiang Chen nodded, and then asked: "I heard that your CT company is acquiring MG Travel Group. Is it true?"
"Mr. Jiang knows about this?" Cai Ling was very surprised. As a senior executive of the CT company, she had just learned about this matter. How did Jiang Chen know about it?
"I've heard of it," Jiang Chen said.
"Mr. Jiang, this is a company secret, so I can't tell you." Cai Ling thought that Jiang Chen was the owner of Lambert Mansion and might have an unknown identity, so it was not surprising. However, she shouldn't have told her Still didn’t say anything.
"It's getting late, you should go and have a rest early." Jiang Chen nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
…
Half an hour later, Jiang Chen and Shi Yi took a shower and lay on the bed.
"Don't mess around today." Shi Yi warned.
"Okay." Jiang Chen hugged Shi Yi and said, "Let's talk and then go to sleep."
"Um."
Shi Yi leaned on Jiang Chen's shoulder and asked, "When you were at the food stall, you said that starting a business was difficult, but now that I see this mansion, I think what you said before is wrong."
"I was talking about the first year before, but now it's the third year, so it's naturally different." Jiang Chen said with a smile: "In the past few years, the money I've made in the stock market has totaled twelve digits."
"Twelve digits? Nine digits are hundreds of millions, ten digits are billions... doesn't it mean hundreds of billions?" Shi Yi reacted with shock in his eyes.
Did she know that Jiang Chen had just started his business not long ago.
I didn’t expect to create so much wealth in just a few years.
"Absolutely. The financial market has been doing well in recent years, and the leverage I added before was high, coupled with other capital operations, so I made more." Jiang Chen said.
The Securities Investment Department of Xingchen Group had 70 to 80 billion before the stock market fell, excluding bank loans. Now with the profits from the Southeast Asian stock index futures market, it is no problem to say 100 billion.
However, Jiang Chen doesn't think this money is much. In his opinion, although those big families and powerful forces may not have so much cash, their assets can easily exceed his.
If nothing else, take Zhou Shengchen's Zhou Sheng family as an example. With hundreds of years of heritage, even the head of the family doesn't know how much wealth they have.
"Now that financial markets are falling, you..."
"Leaved long ago."
Jiang Chen said with a smile: "That's why I bought these properties. Although foreign properties are not comparable to domestic properties, they can at least maintain their value. So, you don't need to worry about our children having no money to buy milk powder in the future."
There was no way to explain the sign in, so Jiang Chen could only explain it this way.
Well, a white lie.
"You, three sentences are not serious." Shi Yi rolled his eyes at Jiang Chen.
"Am I not telling you the truth? As the ancients say, the male leads the outside and the female leads the inside. I am letting you know in advance." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"I don't want to know." Shi Yi felt that there was no need to know at least for now. However, she did not continue the question and changed the subject: "Do you really have no other plans besides attending the Hermès shareholders' meeting?"
"No more." Jiang Chen thought for a while and said, "When we were shopping today, I seemed to see a piece of news. It seemed that there was a press conference for a high-end wedding dress. It seemed to be in three days. I will have time then. If so, let’s go take a look?”
"High-end wedding dress conference? Why go to see this?" Shi Yi asked.
"Of course we are looking at wedding dresses! Although we haven't decided to get married yet, if we see something suitable, we will make a decision." Jiang Chen felt that every woman wants her own romance, and Shi Yi should be the same way.
"It's too early!" Shi Yi was a little moved.
"We're just going to have a look, not buy it. Besides, in my opinion, in addition to wedding dresses, you are suitable to wear phoenix crowns and harems." Jiang Chen said.
"Feng Guan Xia Pei..." Shi Yi's eyes were dark.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen looked at Shi Yi.
"I, I was just thinking about something." Shi Yi came back to his senses.
"Can you tell me what you are thinking about?" Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat. Although Shi Yi didn't say anything, he knew what Shi Yi was thinking about, which made him helpless. He also didn't want Shi Yi to recall the past.
"Nothing." Shi Yi shook his head.
"Then don't think about it." Jiang Chen didn't pursue the question, but kissed Shi Yi on the forehead and said, "It's getting late, let's go to bed early."
"Yes." Shi Yi nodded and leaned into Jiang Chen's arms.
