Chapter 134
Hearing they were going to tour the manor, a group of people followed Qin Ze out of the reception building.
Butler Wang leads the way, introducing as they walk:
"President Qin, this side is the entertainment building."
Entering the gate of the entertainment building, Qin Ze finds that there is a world within.
The first floor is the gym.
All kinds of equipment are available, even more professional than those paid gyms outside.
Qin Ze estimates!
If it hadn't been auctioned off, this equipment would probably be worth over a million!
A few second-generation rich kids see it, and their eyes light up.
"Holy crap! This gym is awesome!"
"I work out every day, I'll just come to Big Brother's place to train from now on!"
"This equipment is much better than the crappy gym near my house!"
Qin Ze waves his hand:
"Brothers, feel free to come anytime you want."
As soon as these words are out, several second-generation rich kids start taking off their jackets.
"Then I won't be polite!"
"I'll do a set first!"
"Come on, who wants to battle in bench press?"
In the blink of an eye, several people dive into the gym and start pumping iron.
Butler Wang continues to lead the remaining people forward.
Passing through the gym, there is an indoor basketball court.
The court is large, the floor is professional maple wood, it is brightly lit, and the stands on both sides can seat dozens of people.
Several second-generation rich kids who like basketball see this court and can't move their feet.
"Big Brother, is this court too top-tier?"
"Even stadiums can't reach this standard for an indoor basketball court!"
Qin Ze smiles:
"If you want to play, go ahead."
As soon as the words fall, several people rush in.
Qin Ze sighs inwardly.
This group of second-generation rich kids, usually putting on airs outside, are actually just like ordinary big boys in private.
It's just that the threshold for what they play is a bit higher than ordinary people.
Gao Hui walks to Qin Ze's side and pats him on the shoulder:
"Brother, let's go, let's go check out the wine cellar."
Qin Ze nods.
Liang Bo also walks over.
The three of them walk toward the wine cellar together.
Qingqing, Xiaoli, and several other women also follow behind them.
The wine cellar is on the basement level of the entertainment building.
Pushing open the heavy oak door, a faint aroma of wine rushes toward them.
The wine cellar is not large, but it is exquisitely designed.
Constant temperature and humidity.
On the wine racks on both sides, a few bottles of red wine, white wine, and foreign liquor are scattered.
Qin Ze can tell!
Most of the wine should have been taken away!
But even the few bottles left are not cheap wine.
In the center is a long wine-tasting table, with several crystal decanters and a set of wine glasses on it.
Qin Ze scans the wine rack.
Although he doesn't know too much about wine, he can tell that these aren't cheap goods.
Liang Bo walks to the wine rack, picks up a bottle of red wine, and takes a look.
Then he raises an eyebrow:
"2005 Latour."
Qin Ze smiles:
"I don't know much about wine, you guys pick whatever you want, open it and drink."
Gao Hui isn't polite either; he picks a bottle of whiskey, opens the cap, and sniffs it:
"Good wine."
Qingqing, Xiaoli, and several other women also gather around.
Several people sit around the wine-tasting table and start drinking and chatting.
Looking at the girls beside Liang Bo and the others, Qin Ze sighs:
"You second-generation rich kids really know how to play."
"You bring car models everywhere you go."
Liang Bo smiles and waves his hand:
"If you like, there's a car show in Jiangcheng tomorrow, shall we go take a look together?"
Qin Ze raises an eyebrow:
"A car show?"
Gao Hui chimes in:
"Right at the International Convention and Exhibition Center in the south of the city."
"It's a large annual car show, all kinds of brands are coming."
"And..." Gao Hui lowers his voice and smiles mysteriously, "At the car show, it's all car models."
"Some of them can be asked out."
Qingqing laughs when she hears this:
"President Gao, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say you want to ask out other car models in front of us?"
Gao Hui waves his hand quickly:
"Just joking, just joking."
Liang Bo also speaks up:
"Big Brother, our club organizes activities almost every month."
"Sometimes it's driving out for off-roading, sometimes it's racing, sometimes it's just pure street-blasting."
"To be honest, this BMW 740 of yours is fine for daily driving."
"If you really want to drive out and play with the brothers, it's a bit lacking."
As he says this, he glances at Qin Ze:
"Why don't you consider going to the car show tomorrow and changing to a better car?"
Qingqing also advises:
"Yeah, Big Brother, go check out the car show tomorrow."
"I know car models for several brands, they're all my best friends."
"I'll introduce them to you then."
Qin Ze picks up his wine glass and takes a sip.
He thinks for a moment.
The BMW 740 he's driving now is indeed a bit ordinary.
And... sports cars, what man doesn't like them?
He nods:
"Fine, I'll go take a look tomorrow."
Liang Bo and Gao Hui look at each other and both smile.
Several people continue to drink and chat.
Qin Ze holds his wine glass, but his thoughts drift far away.
He looks around the wine cellar.
And thinks about the gym, basketball court, entertainment building, and reception villa he saw just now...
Such a large manor, just the daily maintenance is a significant expense.
Gardeners, cleaners, maintenance workers, security guards...
Plus utility bills, landscaping maintenance fees...
He roughly estimates that in a month, it would be at least over a hundred thousand.
A year is over a million.
Although he doesn't lack this bit of money now, he can't let such a large place sit empty.
It needs to generate value.
Qin Ze takes another sip of wine.
He calculates in his heart.
If this manor were operated externally, it could completely be made into a high-end private club.
Dinners, gatherings, business banquets, even weddings...
With the grade of this manor, taking orders externally, the price won't be low.
By then, he can live there and cover the operating costs.
He might even be able to make a profit.
Thinking of this, a person appears in Qin Ze's mind.
Shen Jingshu.
She is living in that villa on Jianglin Road now, and she doesn't have much to do every day.
Letting her manage this manor couldn't be more appropriate.
For one, she has a place to live, much more comfortable than that villa.
For two, she can have something to do, so she doesn't have to be cooped up all day.
For three... her parents helped him a lot in the Liu Bin incident.
He has always wanted to find an opportunity to thank them.
In addition, the villa on Jianglin Road can be vacated, and he can arrange for someone else to move in.
Qin Ze takes out his phone and glances at the time.
Eight o'clock in the evening.
The chef team from Fusheng Grand Hotel should be arriving soon.
He puts down his wine glass and stands up:
"Let's go, let's go out and see, the chefs should be arriving soon."
Several people come out of the wine cellar and return to the reception building.
Just as they reach the door, they see several white box trucks parked at the manor gate.
The doors open, and chefs in white chef uniforms jump out of the trucks.
"Hello, President Qin! Manager Chen sent me to lead the team over, fifteen people in total, ingredients and equipment are all brought!"
Qin Ze nods and points to the reception building behind him:
"The kitchen is behind the reception building, Butler Wang will take you there."
"Tonight's banquet, fifty portions, the specifications should be according to the highest standard."
Chef Zhang nods quickly:
"Don't worry, President Qin, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
After saying this, he turns and waves to the chef team behind him:
"Brothers, let's get to work!"
Fifteen chefs file in, carrying various ingredients and equipment, and walk into the back kitchen.
