Chapter 417: 412. Luohe and Qinghe (Second Update)_1

Huo Yuhao took note of these matters, and Ren He, still not at ease, said to the other executives, "You will be living there in the future too, so help Huo out. After two years of service at the executive level, you can buy a house at cost."

"Haha, don’t worry, I’ve been looking forward to it and will definitely help Huo," Cheng Shanshui laughed.

Ren He became serious at this point, "Right now, we have only a thousand or so people, but in the future, as the land around the Qinghe Building develops, your own buildings will rise from the ground too. It’s conceivable that we might have tens of thousands of employees. The main reason I convened this meeting today was to motivate everyone again, hoping to see your own buildings spring up soon, so that you won’t always have to piggyback on mine."

"Hahaha, look how stingy the big boss is getting, planning to chase us away already, doesn’t want us using the Qinghe Building!" Everyone laughed, but while they said this, they knew what Ren He meant and felt a bit touched. They hadn’t expected to become entrepreneurs so soon, with such a bright future ahead.

Mrs. Ren remained silent on the side, fully aware of the fact that Qinghe had spent over 500 million yuan to acquire the land. She had originally planned to buy plots 2 and 3 for residential development, but in the end, Qinghe Group had swallowed up all 12 plots in one go. She was surprised at the time, wondering what an internet company would do with such a large piece of land.

Now she understood that Qinghe Group had no plans to engage in commercial development with this land but instead wanted to reserve it for the future of their Qinghe Empire, to create an independent kingdom even in the real world.

Such extravagance seemed wasteful to Mrs. Ren, who would never have been so lavishly profligate herself. That piece of land, if developed, could yield considerable profits, or even if stockpiled, it would be a valuable resource for future development.

Seen purely as a means of seeking employee benefits, Mrs. Ren could only say that Qinghe was truly insane.

However, Ren He had also made it clear to her that, while providing welfare was one aspect, as long as the land remained in Qinghe’s hands, its value would continue to rise, and should there be a financial crunch one day, it could also serve as collateral to secure funding.

It was a bargaining chip!

Yet it was still too crazy, since Qinghe Group itself was an internet company which ought to be asset-light, right?!

In fact, Mrs. Ren did not agree with Ren He’s approach at all. Her own Luohe Group had reached its present status step by step with quite decent benefits, but they seemed barely comparable to Qinghe’s, only a few state-owned enterprises could match them.

Could Qinghe Group’s scale compare with that of a state-owned enterprise? At least, not now.

Unlike capitalists, Qinghe at that moment was so crazed and flamboyant, with Ren He’s decisions resembling those of a madman.

However, Mrs. Ren could not deny that if she could do it all over again and were an employee of Qinghe, she too would be willing to work herself to death for such a madman.

Having talked about Qinghe Group’s own affairs, it was time for Ren He to mention the main purpose of bringing his mother to Qinghe that evening, but he wasn’t foolhardy enough to reveal openly to the executives that this was his mother; he no longer needed to use Luohe Group’s name to enhance his own stature.

In essence, this was also the fundamental reason for the pride of Mrs. Ren and Secretary Ren.

From the development of Qinghe Group to the present, Ren He’s aura was no longer just that of Ru Min’s son, the chairman of Luohe Group, or the son of Luo City’s Secretary Ren. He had his own aura; he was the leader behind the scenes of the Qinghe faction, the true chairman of Qinghe Group.

He was poised to face the entire world independently, no longer relying on his parents’ reputation.

Even Secretary Ren and Mrs. Ren, in the future, would be introduced as the parents of Ren He, the leader of Qinghe’s faction.

This was the true source of their pride; Ren He had become independent and had succeeded.

There was no sign of Mrs. Ren rejecting this, which was the most comforting to Ren He, of course, assuming, as his parents did, that he was still earnestly pursuing his studies.

In their philosophy, to keep learning as one lives is an attitude, an attitude of actively facing life.

Ren He had previously told Mrs. Ren and Secretary Ren in no uncertain terms that he hoped they would continue to keep his secret, claiming he did not want the media to interrupt his studies. Hearing this, his parents were more than happy, surprised their son was still so sensible...

Ren He did want to avoid media disturbance, but the claim it would affect his studying was just nonsense. He was already thinking that once Yang Xi graduated from the Juilliard School of Music and returned to the country, he would promptly get his life back on track domestically.

To this day, Secretary Ren and Mrs. Ren still did not know that their son had secretly gone abroad to become a professor...

But with the achievements Ren He had now secured, they really didn’t need to worry too much anymore. Their laissez-faire approach had been effective, and now seeing him so ’sensible,’ they felt even more gratified.

Ren He himself was a bit distressed, wondering how Secretary Ren and Mrs. Ren would react if they knew he had dropped out of No.4 Middle School.

The reaction wouldn’t be as intense as before, but being nagged for a year or two was inevitable...

The purpose of the meeting that evening, in fact, was to foster a strategic partnership between Qinghe and Luohe.

That night, when Ren He came clean, Mrs. Ren asked if there was any way she could help with Qinghe’s new business endeavors.

As for the previous mention of taking a stake, there was no need to consider that; after all, it was her son’s venture, and whether she invested or not, catching a ride on this "windfall" was secondary. Mrs. Ren felt a bit embarrassed about pressuring Secretary Ren in the presence of the person concerned...

And when Mrs. Ren asked if she could be of help, she certainly touched on something Ren He had at heart. Of course, she could!

Luohe, as a developer of commercial complexes, had significant relevance to the internet, and this was something Ren He had seriously considered, which was one of the main reasons for his frankness with Mrs. Ren.

With the help of Luohe Group, Qinghe Group would be relieved of many concerns!

Ren He smiled as he introduced, "I haven’t mentioned this to everyone yet, but this lady here is Ru Min, the chairman of Luohe Group. I’ve invited her to discuss the cooperation between Qinghe Group and Luohe Group."

Pfft, someone was immediately stunned. These IT folks, while they paid attention to the news, focused primarily on internet-related news. And now, unlike in the information explosion era of the past life, some names were heard but not seen. Luohe Group’s concept was one of a behemoth in real estate, with a valuation close to a hundred billion, openly owning 67 large-scale commercial complexes, and currently expanding into second and third-tier cities.

Did the boss actually manage to invite such a big shot over?!
