Chapter 47: 100 Million
Under Tong Shenwu’s leadership, Yi Shang Entertainment quickly got back on track, and Gu Wanrong gradually reduced her involvement.
The day after tomorrow was a statutory holiday, and according to the system’s rules, it was a 66x payout day.
Gu Wanrong was pondering how to maximize the use of her 66x payout, checking her black gold card balance.
“My god! I already have 27 billion yuan?”
Gu Wanrong looked at the long string of numbers in her bank account in disbelief, exclaiming in astonishment. She couldn’t believe that in such a short time since her rebirth and only by spending money, she had accumulated such a vast fortune.
This made her think of her past self, an ordinary girl with a mundane life, rushing to a job interview moments before her death. Now, she possessed immense wealth—a tremendous change.
Gu Wanrong felt somewhat overwhelmed by the balance of over 27 billion yuan.
Soon, she had an idea of how to spend it.
In Shanghai, she already owned Guang Le Housekeeping, Xi Yuan Food Processing Factory, Yi Shang Entertainment, Xi Yuan Lai Foods, and Ying Yuan Law Firm, as well as 45% of Plan Air and 73% of Sup Port Shipping, all requiring management.
Tong Shenyi pointed out that these companies were scattered across various cities in China, and Plan Air and Sup Port Shipping were not even based in China, making unified management and operation impossible.
He suggested establishing a group, which Gu Wanrong agreed to, immediately naming it Qian Yuan Group, but nothing further happened.
Gu Wanrong realized that to consolidate all companies, Qian Yuan Group needed a central headquarters.
Reviewing her properties suitable for offices, the one in City C was too small. The Fortune Building in City J and the Hengxin International Finance Building in Shanghai were possibilities, but she couldn’t break her lease agreements so easily.
With this in mind, she had a plan for the 27 billion yuan.
Gu Wanrong chose to buy a building in Beijing, the political and economic center of China, as the group’s headquarters.
This would likely use up the 27 billion yuan. However, Gu Wanrong wasn’t satisfied. She wanted more; she knew she would own even more companies in the future.
Therefore, Gu Wanrong wanted a dedicated park for her group—a comprehensive park encompassing the current and future operations of all her companies.
This park would include the food company’s production lines, the housekeeping company’s training base, the entertainment company’s film and television, variety show, and record production studios, and future factory buildings for other industries, as well as the headquarters of each company. In addition to workspaces, there would also be accommodation, a small shopping center, and restaurants.
This large, comprehensive park, exclusive to Qian Yuan Group, would accompany the rise of Gu Wanrong’s business empire.
Yes, Gu Wanrong had ambition.
Previously, after suddenly becoming rich, Gu Wanrong simply wanted to spend money freely, enjoying a carefree life.
Until she transformed Yi Shang Entertainment from an almost unknown company to one with comparable fame to the three giants in the entertainment industry.
She discovered that she wasn’t the failure she had been in her previous life; she had the ability to achieve her goals.
Today’s decision on how to best spend the 27 billion yuan was the catalyst for her ambition.
Gu Wanrong dared to imagine her future, no longer content with a comfortable but ordinary life.
Her heart pounded, as if about to burst out of her chest. She was excited by her ambition, thrilled by her transformation, and exhilarated by the emergence of her deep-seated desires.
Soon, Gu Wanrong began preparations.
Gu Wanrong flew to Beijing.
Gu Wanrong had only twice handled the transfer of commercial buildings, once before and once after her rebirth, both times gifts from the system.
Now, relying on her limited experience buying an office building in City C and the 27 billion yuan in her account, she would acquire a commercial building in the city center of Beijing, a city she was unfamiliar with.
After locating the largest real estate agency in Beijing on her phone, she took a taxi from the airport to her destination.
The next morning, Gu Wanrong left her hotel.
Even on a holiday, many staff members at the agency were busy, with many people coming to inquire about properties before the holiday.
Gu Wanrong’s arrival immediately attracted attention. Her stunning beauty caused many to gasp; the noisy hall fell silent for a moment before people resumed their conversations, albeit while covertly glancing at Gu Wanrong.
The intense attention made Gu Wanrong nervous, but she forced herself to remain calm. Her beautiful face was impassive, and she tried to ignore the stares, walking directly to the front desk and addressing the only staff member focused on their computer, “Hello.”
The agent looked up, his eyes widening in surprise at Gu Wanrong’s appearance. After a few seconds, he said enthusiastically, “Hello, ma’am. Are you here to look at properties?”
Gu Wanrong continued in her monotone voice, “Do you have any commercial buildings for sale in the city center?”
The agent was surprised at her calm demeanor and the audacity of her request, taken aback.
He hesitated, shook his head, and said, “We don’t have any whole commercial buildings for sale, I’m sorry, ma’am.”
Even though this was the largest real estate agency in Beijing, the chance of finding a whole commercial building for sale was almost zero. Such transactions often required specialized channels and resources.
The agent thought to himself.
What kind of naive nouveau riche is this girl? She’s here to make fun of me on a holiday?
What a waste of her good looks and aura. I thought I had a big client.
Gu Wanrong was disappointed. She wanted to ask the agent if he knew where she could buy a commercial building, but seeing him typing furiously on the computer, she understood that he didn’t want to be bothered any further.
Unable to summon the courage to ask, Gu Wanrong left the agency, feeling disappointed and dejected.
Despite her vast wealth and numerous companies, she lacked the resources to buy a single building.
Exiting the agency, Gu Wanrong got into a ride-hailing car, feeling low. She wanted to retreat into her shell.
[Host still has 331 blind box draws remaining.]
Sensing Gu Wanrong’s disappointment, the usually silent system suddenly appeared in her mind.
Right, there was the system. She had won two commercial buildings from the system’s shop before.
“Thank you, system, but I want to try on my own,” Gu Wanrong sincerely thought.
She knew the system had helped her immensely. The 27 billion yuan she was using to buy the building came from the system’s payouts. However, her ambition drove her to solve the problem on her own. Of course, she was grateful for the system’s support and comfort.
In just ten minutes, Gu Wanrong recovered her spirits. The ride-hailing car stopped at her next destination: the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Natural Resources.
Gu Wanrong’s eyes were resolute, her heart filled with determination. Try again, harder this time!
She got out of the car.
