Chapter 482: Lightly Pretending
After the waiter brought the menu, Chen An did not hesitate to take the menu and ordered a few special dishes.
Dai Yin became more and more satisfied with Chen An's performance, which was calm and composed, and not pretentious.
Although she had promised her daughter before coming here that she would not ask any random questions, as a mother, there were still some things she needed to know. Of course, Dai Yin also knew her limits. After all, they were just ordinary friends now, and she couldn't just come up and ask questions.
Chen An easily dealt with Dai Yin's silent test. After all, this was the sixth mother-in-law he had met.
And through what he learned from the original drama, Chen An has his own judgment about the woman Dai Yin.
This woman attaches great importance to material life. Although it was only shown once in the original drama, when she went on a blind date with Li Yifan, she was able to agree to a divorced man with children, which shows her attitude towards marriage. As for saying that Jiang Pengfei lied and did not tell Dai Yin in advance, this was just to fool Jiang Nansun.
Especially when Jiang Nansun moved out, what did Dai Yin do? He rented a house next to Zhang Anren. The meaning was self-evident. He didn't allow the two to cross the line before marriage. Wasn't it because Zhang Anren had no money?
So after learning about Chen An's company, Dai Yin felt that his daughter's vision was much better than his own.
At the beginning, I only valued my family background and wealth, and did not care about my personal abilities, which is why I am in this embarrassing situation now.
"Xiao Chen, I don't know much about running a company, but I do have some experience in investment and financial management." Dai Yin said with a smile.
Chen An was a little surprised when he heard this. Could it be that his cheap mother-in-law was also brainwashed? Was she going to persuade him to invest in stocks?
Before Chen An could answer, Jiang Nansun interrupted him, "Mom, what do you know about investment? Don't talk nonsense."
Chen An patted Jiang Nansun's arm gently and said with a smile, "There must be a teacher among three people. Nansun, since Auntie said so, she must have her own unique insights."
Jiang Nansun pouted and looked at her mother, her dissatisfaction was very obvious on her face, but she didn't say anything else.
Dai Yin was of course not persuading Chen An to invest in stocks; she had her own purpose.
"Xiao Chen, this is not my unique opinion, but my personal experience." Dai Yin explained with a smile, "Take our small Western-style building on Fuxing Road for example. It was only 130,000 or 140,000 yuan per square meter a few years ago. But do you know how much it costs per square meter now?"
Chen An was amused. This was really a case of someone having other intentions. "Auntie, I have heard of the houses on Fuxing Road. They seem to be from the last century and have cultural characteristics. But I don't know the specific price."
Dai Yin held up two fingers, turned them over and laughed, "It's 22 per square meter now, and it's still in short supply. It's very popular. The current market price of our house is tens of millions."
Chen An looked as if he had realized something. "Auntie, are you suggesting that I invest in some real estate?"
"Especially in the past few years, the housing prices in Shanghai have been changing every day. Many people have doubled their investment in five years. If you have some spare money, you can invest in real estate. My friends have made a lot of money investing in real estate in recent years."
Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes and interrupted her mother, "Mom, a house is not like buying cabbage, how can you just buy it?"
"Auntie, I remember there should be purchase restrictions here. Brother Chen's household registration is not here, so he should not be eligible to buy a house now." Zhu Suosuo also quickly reminded.
Dai Yin just remembered it after hearing this, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Xiao Chen, Auntie forgot about this, but actually investing in a shop is also a good choice."
"mom...."
After glaring at his daughter, Dai Yin continued, "I have a sister whose brother works in a bank. She only had one store a few years ago, but in just a few years, she already owns more than a dozen stores. If you need anything, I can help you ask."
Chen An smiled and responded, "Auntie, I have actually learned about what you said. Based on the current bank interest rate, if you spend 10 million to buy a shop, the annual interest will be around 600,000. And the rent of a shop worth around 10 million is roughly between 300,000 and 400,000 a year."
"Of course, if we follow the trend of rising housing prices in recent years, this investment is still very good."
Dai Yin obviously only had a vague understanding of all this, and she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when she heard Chen An's words. Her original purpose was to test Chen An's strength and see if he had any plans to buy a house. After all, looking at her daughter's current situation, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was giving him money for herself.
"Xiao Chen, I didn't expect you to have researched these things. Did you have plans for this before?"
"Auntie, I have actually studied it carefully before. The price of houses will definitely increase in the future. After all, there is a rigid demand. However, the choice still needs to meet many factors such as education and medical care. So I bought a shop in Jing'an District. The current profit is pretty good."
"I often go to Jing'an District when I go shopping. Which area did you invest in?" Dai Yin didn't expect that he would actually have an unexpected gain, and asked curiously.
"The shop in Kerry Center in Jing'an District has an area of more than 800 square meters. It is currently rented by a luxury store called Misia."
Dai Yin's eyes lit up. "I know this store. I've been there many times before. There are many luxury stores there. It's also a famous business district with dense traffic. There's a lot of room for house prices to rise. Xiao Chen, you're really lucky."
"It just so happened that there was a landlord who needed money at home, so I guess this was a bargain."
Zhu Suosuo looked at Chen An and suddenly felt that she seemed to have underestimated this man. The shop was 800 square meters and was located in the Kerry Center in Jing'an District. Although she had not learned about the housing prices there, it must cost tens of millions, and in full. This showed Brother Chen's financial resources.
No wonder Brother Chen spent 100,000 yuan to train me. Isn’t he too rich?
Only Jiang Nansun didn't think too much about it. Instead, she felt a little proud when she saw the surprised looks on her mother and best friend's faces.
At the following dinner, Dai Yin's attitude was not only warm but also friendly, like an elder. This was truly like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
Ever since Jiang Pengfei stole her jewelry, she had already realized the situation at home, and it was very likely that they were about to tear off the last piece of fig leaf.
If Chen An's conditions were just average, then it wouldn't matter. In any case, his daughter's looks, education, and status as a native of Shanghai would be more than enough.
But now, not only is the young man very handsome, he is also capable, and his economic conditions are better than those of his own family.
She had already decided in her heart that she would sell her jewelry piece by piece in the next few days and save more money. This way, no matter what happens to the Jiang family in the future, as a mother, she would leave a generous dowry for her daughter.
It was because the family was poor and there was no dowry, otherwise she would not have been unable to hold her head up in the Jiang family for so many years. She would not let her daughter go through the suffering she had endured again.
Chen An didn't expect that his simple act of pretending would make his mother-in-law have such thoughts.
