Chapter 604: Liu Shishi's Luxurious New Home, Boss Wei Is Kind to Others
Shanghai, Lujiazui
When Li Jiahang was driving just now, he thought he was coming to Tomson Yipin, but later found out that it was the community next door.
"COFCO Seaview No. 1?"
"You also have a house here?"
Wei Yang brushed his sleeves calmly: "You should ask, which high-end community in Shanghai doesn't have my house?"
Li Jiahang admitted that this forced him, but he still refused to accept: "Tan Gong, you also have a house?"
Many luxury communities are competing for the first luxury house in Shanghai, and each has its own supporters. No one is convinced, but Tan Gong is definitely one of the most competitive, and it has a great influence in Shanghai and on the Internet.
There are a total of 18 villas in this community, each covering an area of about four acres, which is about 2,666 square meters. Not only is the area large, but the decoration is also inhumane.
The wood is specially purchased and almost intercepted by customs. Silk is used for interior decoration, and the wall cloth and murals are hand-painted by painters. The furniture is all aristocratic brands, and other services and facilities are all available. It is said that each villa is a private luxury hotel, with a price of several hundred million.
Wei Yang really doesn't have a house in Tan Palace. It's not that he can't afford it, but he thinks it's too cost-effective and too high-profile.
Boss Wei has too many houses, but he lives in few of them. He mainly invests in them. So, apart from a few necessary houses for his own use, he attaches great importance to cost-effectiveness and liquidity. In his opinion, Tan Palace is a bit flashy and easy to lose money.
Again, if he really wants to live in a villa, Wei Yang prefers to buy land and build a manor.
For the same price, Wei Yang can build a bigger and more luxurious one than Tan Palace...
But no matter what, if you don't have it, you don't have it. Although Li Jiahang's words are just a show of force, they really hit him.
After giving the other party a middle finger, Wei Yang got out of the car without saying a word. Li Jiahang laughed and chased him.
"How much is the house per square meter in this community now?"
"The average price is less than 200,000."
"How much?!"
Li Jiahang shouted in a lost voice. He knew the community of COFCO Seaview No. 1, the top luxury house in Shanghai. It is said that a house costs tens of millions. Now it seems too conservative.
"What a fuss."
Wei Yang shook his head. This house price sounds outrageous, but if you know the entire real estate market, you will know that it is not just this community that is outrageous.
2016 was the highlight of the real estate market. At the beginning of the year, the house prices in Shanghai soared, and some areas almost doubled.
Whether it is locals or Shanghai drifters struggling in Shanghai, they are all overwhelmed by the house prices.
According to statistics, the cheapest Chongming, Jinshan and other very few remote suburbs in Shanghai now have house prices of no less than 20,000 per square meter.
The average price of real estate in the entire Shanghai is 40,000+, and slightly better areas and communities are 60,000 to 80,000.
Boss Wei has made various investments, and he still has so much money to buy luxury houses everywhere. Where do you think he got the money? A considerable proportion of it is earned from real estate speculation.
Buy low and sell high, the money keeps rolling in, and the houses keep rolling in…
Take the Tianyue Tower, the king of COFCO Seaview No. 1, in front of Wei Yang as an example. Wei Yang bought it shortly after it was launched in 2012. It was said to be 150,000 yuan per square meter, but it was 15% off. In fact, there were some discounts in private, so it was only 100,000 to 120,000 yuan per square meter.
But now if you want to resell it, you have to pay more than double, and it is impossible to sell it below 200,000.
After all, this is the king of the building. There are only three real first-line riverside residential buildings in Lujiazui, two of which are Tomson Yipin, and the other is Tianyue Tower.
Compared with the other houses in COFCO Seaview No. 1, the price of Tianyue Tower is generally several percent higher, and the only 10 duplexes are more expensive.
And it just so happens that Boss Wei is one of the owners of the 10 duplexes in Tianyue Tower.
When purchasing this house, it cost almost 100 million yuan in total. Now it is conservatively estimated that it is worth at least 180 million yuan.
Moreover, the price of this house is still going up. Even if the house price drops in the future, the average price is still above 250,000 yuan, and there are many houses above 300,000 yuan per square meter.
One in and one out, it is hundreds of millions, or even hundreds of millions. The efficiency may be a little slow, but it can also be called a huge profit.
And as we all know, this kind of top luxury house is actually not suitable for real estate speculation. It is more of an investment and value preservation. The actual return on real estate speculation is even more exaggerated than the example above.
Li Jiahang's just better mood disappeared, but when he arrived at Wei Yang's house, his mood became even worse.
How to say it, the living room with two floors connected seems extremely spacious and transparent, with a huge crystal lamp on it, which is extremely dazzling. The staircase is directly built in a rotating style, and the decoration style reveals luxury and exquisiteness.
The most outrageous thing is the balcony facing the Huangpu River outside the floor-to-ceiling window. It is at least 20 meters long and about 3 meters wide. It can be used as a runway.
(Not the original picture, it's roughly this meaning)
Li Jiahang took a simple stroll and his teeth were almost broken!
Wei Yang was relatively calm. Compared to most houses he had never been to and didn't care about, he agreed to renovate this house, and originally intended it to be one of his "homes".
He and Liu Shishi both prefer large flats, and there are only a few top-notch flats in Shanghai.
He has promised Tomson One to Fan Xiaopang, and COFCO Seaview One will be where he and Liu Shishi live.
Compared with Tomson Yipin, which is more well-known and influential with celebrities and internet celebrities, the owners of COFCO Seaview No. 1 tend to be political and business, so this community may be less famous, and the privacy and security are higher than Tomson Yipin.
In addition, Boss Wei has another selfish motive.
That is, this community is a neighbor of Tomson Yipin, and it is not far from Tang Yan's Ningjing Dongfang and Da Mimi's house. It takes about 20 minutes or half an hour to drive, which can not only allow Boss Wei to move around, but also make it convenient for Liu Shishi and others to visit.
"How about it, do you think this house is okay? If not, there is a villa and a large flat, but you have to give me time to clean up."
Liu Shishi and her daughter arrived earlier than Wei Yang and his friends. At this time, they had finished the tour. Wei Yang asked Liu Shishi about her feelings.
Liu Shishi knew about this house and had visited it twice, but it had not been renovated at that time, and she had only seen the renderings of the complete state.
Originally, they planned to move in two days. Liu Shishi wanted to see the new house, so Wei Yang simply followed her and put it back after moving to see what was wrong.
If you are not satisfied with this house, you can change it. There are still alternative plans. If it doesn't work, you can use other "houses" first. Who made Liu Shishi anxious?
"If this one doesn't work, nothing will."
Before Liu Shishi could speak, her mother-in-law stopped her and glared at her daughter in warning.
Have some ideas in your mind, don't go too far!
Just now, when the mother-in-law and Liu Shishi came in and saw this house, they were more out of control than Li Jiahang. After all, the latter had been shown off by Boss Wei countless times, and the old lady was still inexperienced in this regard.
The previous house in Jinling had already made the old couple feel deeply in private, and this one was even more extravagant and overbearing.
Just now, I quietly asked my daughter about the house price, and my mother-in-law covered her chest and relaxed for half a minute.
Liu Shishi smiled bitterly at her mother's glare, but she was indeed quite satisfied with the house. The only thing she was dissatisfied with was the stairs.
"What if the child runs around and falls?"
"What do you do for a living? You can't watch the child. You're so picky. According to you, the child will avoid stairs in the future?"
Before Wei Yang could say anything, Liu Shishi was scolded by her mother-in-law Liu Mu. She couldn't even lift her head. But Boss Wei still listened.
"We should take some protective measures, such as laying a thick blanket or something. By the way, why don't you live downstairs first, so that you don't have inconvenience going up and down the stairs in the future."
The master bedroom is upstairs, but there are also bedrooms on the first floor. Liu Shishi is pregnant and it is difficult to go up and down the stairs. It's his fault that he didn't think of this at the time, otherwise he would install an elevator.
"I'm not that hypocritical. It's just this floor. I can climb it."
This time, even Liu Shishi felt that Wei Yang was a little too much. She was pregnant, not paralyzed. Other pregnant women went to work. She shouldn't be unable to even climb the stairs.
Liu's mother also chimed in: "Yes, the doctor also said that pregnant women can't just rest, they need to exercise properly, and going upstairs can also exercise."
"You still have to be careful, it's best to have someone to help you."
Wei Yang is not ignorant of the truth, but perhaps it is the occupational disease of screenwriters. When the two elements of stairs and pregnant women are combined, his mind is full of scenes such as slipping, being pushed down the stairs, rolling down, and having a miscarriage, which makes him have some shadows on stairs.
In any case, the new home is big and beautiful. Liu Shishi is very excited and asked Li Jiahang to bring his wife to visit.
Li Sheng is also her friend. Liu Shishi is bored now and can't wait for others to come and play with her.
"Then you have to wait for a while. I'm filming in Hengdian now."
Compared with the popular Li Jiahang, Li Sheng is not as famous as Li Jiahang, but she is not short of roles to play, especially because she has a relationship with Blue Whale, that is, she plays the role of You Ji in the TV series "Zhu Xian".
"Hey, I forgot to ask, how is the filming of this drama going."
Although Liu Shishi did not play in "Zhu Xian", she had the intention at least, so she still paid attention to this drama.
"It's still early, it just started not long ago, I don't know if it can be broadcast next summer."
Wei Yang has a headache when he thinks of this project. In order to fight for the control of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", he compromised with Huanrui, but they attached great importance to "Zhu Xian" and jumped up and down.
This IP was snatched from Huanrui at the beginning, and the two sides jointly developed it. Although there are reasons for it, Blue Whale cannot be too overbearing.
So the two sides were arguing for a long time, and it was not until recently that it started, breaking the previous style of Blue Whale's speedy operation.
"Who did Li Moufeng play in the end?"
"Lin Jingyu."
"You have offended Huanrui badly this time."
Liu Shishi sighed, and Boss Wei sighed. He was not afraid of offending Huanrui, as they were enemies, but this time he was indeed a little sloppy.
The reason why "Zhu Xian" started filming so late was mainly because the role of Zhang Xiaofan had not been decided.
As the male lead of "Zhu Xian", many people in the industry were eyeing Zhang Xiaofan, but the crew was not satisfied with the choice.
This character had an ordinary appearance in the early stage, a tough personality, a strong sense of love and loyalty, and was quite infatuated. These characteristics are more common among the public.
This makes every reader have his own opinion of Zhang Xiaofan in his mind.
Many crews are afraid of this kind of role when casting, as if anyone can play it, but in fact, no matter who plays it, someone will not accept it.
Blue Whale still prefers its own people when picking the tallest among the short ones. Qiao Zhenyu and Wang Kai are too old, Lu Han and Zhang Yixing's acting skills are not good enough, and Li Xian is not suitable for ancient costumes.
So it is still Zhang Ruoyun who has been promoted in the past two years. The latter is currently very popular and has guaranteed the crew.
But Huanrui has different opinions. They want to promote Li Moufeng of their own company.
Under normal circumstances, Li is not as good as Zhang, but Huanrui gave up the power in "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" before, so it is inevitable that the weight of "Zhu Xian" will be heavier this time.
"Grave Robbers' Chronicles" has already promoted Zhang, and Nazha is also a Blue Whale person. Zhang Binbin, who plays Zhang Qiling, later signed with Da Mimi's Mixing Entertainment. They are all Boss Wei's people.
"Zhu Xian" is reasonable and it is time for Huanrui to promote newcomers.
Boss Wei had originally tacitly agreed to this, and there was a high possibility that Li Moufeng would be promoted, but later Wei Yang thought about his performance in "The Legend of Chusen" in his previous life, and couldn't help but deny it.
This is a bit of a broken promise.
But Huanrui couldn't resist, so they still endured it. Zhang Ruoyun can play the male lead, but we should play the female lead, so they planned to promote their own artists, Yang Zi played Lu Xueqi, and Zhang Yuxi played Bi Yao.
Wei Yang couldn't help but stop it again. He felt that Yang Zi was not suitable for Lu Xueqi, and recommended Li Xin.
In all honesty, Boss Wei really did this for the good of the drama. Li Xin is not his person, and there is no selfishness.
In this way, Huanrui only has Bi Yao left. To be honest, although Wei Yang felt that Zhang Yuxi was a little bit weak, it was also reasonable, so he didn't stop it.
But the director didn't do it!
He fell in love with Tangren's artist Chen Yao, thinking that this girl has a lively appearance and is more suitable for the role of Bi Yao. He insisted on abandoning Zhang and using Chen, and many backbone members of the crew also expressed their support.
Huanrui almost died of anger. Wei Yang knew that it was the opinion of the director and others, but they did not think so.
Everyone knows that Tangren and Wei Yang are in the same boat. Liu Shishi is simply a shareholder of Tangren. Supporting Chen Yao is supporting one of his own.
Mr. Wei, you are so ugly!
Boss Wei has a hard time, but "Zhu Xian" is the highlight of Blue Whale and PPTV next year. He asked him to compromise with Huanrui and use unsuitable actors. If the project fails, he is not willing to see it.
Therefore, Boss Wei thought about it and still acted as a villain. Li Moufeng and several others also participated in the performance, but they could only play supporting roles, such as Lin Jingyu and Tian Ling'er.
The project was saved, but Huanrui was offended, and Boss Wei's reputation was affected.
They think he is overbearing and too narrow-minded.
When Wei Yang and Huanrui were at odds, the latter did not take advantage. Da Mimi was poached, and in revenge, it was severely punished. Two big IPs were snatched away. Now that the situation has changed, Boss Wei is still "bullying" others so much, and outsiders feel sorry for Huanrui.
"Otherwise, we can cooperate with them on our projects in the future to compensate them?"
Liu Shishi was kind and did not want to damage the reputation of his boss. Thinking of helping to make up for it, Wei Yang waved his hand.
"They are not as miserable as you think. Although these two projects did not promote anyone, they also shared a lot of money. This is to gain sympathy. Don't worry about it. I will have a good chat with them."
Knowing that he is narrow-minded and calculating his reputation, Boss Wei is kind to others, but he has never been a good person.
Since he has offended him to death, he might as well kill him. Being soft-hearted will only leave trouble. Dead enemies are good enemies.
Huanrui is gone, and these things will be blown away by the wind...
