60 Because of Dogs (1/2)
Qian Ge Headquarters Building, Tianjing City Central, Level 16.
The secretary stood in Hong Weiguo's office, face full of delight as he reported: ”CEO Hong, congratulations. Recently, the visitor volume of our Sangle search engine increased by 5%, causing the share price of our company to also increase by 5%.”
”Oh? That's good.” Hong Weiguo sat in front of his desk and smilingly asked, ”Did you find out why?”
The secretary's expression was quite complicated. It seemed to be mixed with surprise, happiness, helplessness, and bewilderment. In conclusion, his expression seemed very strange. ”The reason is… because Young Master Dali opened a concert to support Lady Li Nianwei. Then, she rose to fame very quickly, causing many people to search for her info. Thus, it ended up this way…”
”Hahaha, this small prodigal.” Hong Weiguo looked like he found a treasure as he happily smiled. He then shook his head and helplessly said, ”This little rascal, he can really mess things around. This Li Nianwei caused the visitor volume of our search engine to increase by 5%; this is really out of the blue.” Although he spoke casually, in reality, the market value of the Sangle search engine was at least 20 billion. Thus, a 5% increase was equivalent to a billion yuan increase in its value.
What was more depressing was that Hong Dali, this prodigal, only intended to squander some money in the first place.
If others were to know of this matter, they might be depressed to the point of vomiting blood.
Other people painstakingly spend a yuan as if it were 10 yuan, and they would be overjoyed when finally managing to save some money. But this Hong Dali, all he did every day was just squander and waste money. Yet somehow, he managed to increase the market value of his family's company by a billion yuan without knowing about it. His luck was really on a roll, and nothing seemed to be able to stop him.
”Oh right, how's the development of the west fourth loop?” After laughing for a while, Hong Weiguo asked. The land at the west fourth loop was a surprise gain; due to the effects of government policy, it was impossible to make a loss. However, the time duration for development still needed to be discussed. It could be developed within half a year, or it could be developed within five years. Therefore, in reality, Hong Weiguo didn't expect to make much money from it. The main reason he purchased the land there was just to make Hong Dali happy. After all, Hong Dali's body condition changed for the better recently, and Hong Weiguo credited it to the amassed good fortune he gained while squandering.
Sometimes, even if one wasn't superstitious, it was better to believe in such things than believe they didn't exist.
”As for the west fourth loop…” Upon mentioning the west fourth loop, the secretary's expression became strange again. ”Recently, many people came and asked our people there when we will be developing housing estates. It looks like they plan to buy them.”
”Oh? We have only just bought the land, and there are already people asking when we will be building housing estates?” Hong Weiguo frowned and said, ”Why is that so? I have never heard of people rushing to buy estates to this kind of extent before. Although we have bought over the houses from those living there, this shouldn't happen to such an extent, should it? Roughly, how many people have the intention to swap houses?”
”En, a… a lot…” The secretary's sweat started flowing down. ”According to statistics, about… about 30% and more of the citizens living at the west fourth loop near Ye Lai Xiang plan to swap houses.”
”30%! So many!” Even though Hong Weiguo could face the collapse of a mountain before his eyes and not have a change in his expression, but hearing that within such a short time there were already so many people planning to swap houses, he still couldn't believe his ears. ”Did you find out why they are so eager to swap houses?”
