Chapter 88 Company Name: Oriental Chanson
Chapter 88 Company Name: Oriental Chanson
Shen Yao actually felt a little sorry for Shen Mei.
The original Shen Yao was closer to Shen Mei, and the original Shen Yao's long-standing gratitude towards Shen Mei has also influenced the current Shen Yao.
Therefore, Shen Yao was even more unwilling for Shen Mei to take this step with them.
Unfortunately, Shen Mei was foolish and couldn't see the bigger picture, stubbornly refusing to see the truth.
However, while Shen Yao felt a little regretful, it didn't mean she could forgive Shen Mei.
Although Shen Mei didn't actually do anything bad to them, Shen Yao wasn't oblivious to the malice she felt from Shen Mei.
Shen Yao had just mentioned Shen Mei, wondering if Shen Mei would participate in the competition.
Actually, Shen Yao saw in the competition announcement that the winner of the Miss Hong Kong Island title would receive a reward of HK$50.
Other rankings also receive some small rewards.
Shen Yao thought that if Shen Mei became rich and didn't pay back the money on her own, she would definitely find a magazine to publicly demand repayment.
Shen Yao has been reading a lot of entertainment magazines lately and has become quite adept at figuring out how to make things really fun.
Shen Wancheng had no idea that Shen Yao was so bored that she was thinking about these random things every day.
She got up, stretched, and went back to her room to sleep.

The next morning, Shen Yao continued her journey to the Lan family by car.
After having breakfast, Shen Wancheng went straight to Yangon Horse Racing Ground to find Li Su.
Li Su was unaware that Shen Wancheng was Xu Pingtao's granddaughter; he thought Shen Wancheng had found him again because she had won the gamble on the horse race.
In the end, Shen Wancheng revealed her identity as Xu Pingtao's granddaughter before Li Su agreed to leave his post and go with her.
Shen Wancheng took Li Su to the stock exchange by car, but did not take Li Su inside. Instead, they found a coffee shop across the street from the stock exchange to sit for a while.
Shen Wancheng didn't reveal her purpose, and even though Li Su had a thousand questions in his mind, he didn't ask them but waited silently for Shen Wancheng to speak.
He is very calm and composed.
This made Shen Wancheng think even more highly of him.
About twenty minutes later, Shen Wancheng finally spoke.
Have you bought any stocks?
"Yes, I bought some."
What stocks did you buy?
"Industry and real estate."
"why?"
Shen Wancheng's question only deepened Li Su's doubts.
Given Shen Wancheng's current status, finding a financial analyst would be a simple matter of a word, and they would be far more professional than him. Why did he specifically bring him here to ask these questions?
Although Li Su had doubts, he still answered truthfully.
"Real industries are stable, while real estate is a trend that brings in money quickly."
"It's true that real estate makes money quickly, but instead of buying stocks, it's better to buy several properties."
Shen Wancheng's expression was indifferent, revealing no emotion, but her tone conveyed a hint of boredom.
Li Su asked tentatively.
"So you have a stronger belief in the real economy?"
“Hong Kong Island is only so big. Land, resources, and population are all limited. Vigorously developing industry would be short-sighted and not the choice for Hong Kong’s political and business circles.”
Li Su nodded repeatedly, strongly agreeing with Shen Wancheng's point of view.
“Ms. Shen, you’re right. I also think that Hong Kong Island’s industries will definitely decline in a few years, but they’re still relatively stable for now.”
"Well, if you're looking for stability, why not buy a few more properties? In ten or twenty years, your net worth will increase tenfold."
Li Su smiled wryly.
“Ms. Shen, you’re joking. For ordinary people like us, where are we supposed to find the money to buy several houses, especially in good locations, to have enough room for promotion?”
Shen Wancheng looked at Li Su and asked casually.
How much do you earn per month at the horse farm?
Li Su still didn't know what Shen Wancheng was up to, but he had a vague feeling that this was an opportunity for him.
She still cooperated by answering Shen Wancheng's questions.
“HKD 8000 per month.”
Shen Wancheng didn't think much of it and just said it.
"How about I pay you double if you work for me?"
It's worth noting that the average monthly salary in Hong Kong is only HK$1,500, and Li Su's original salary of HK$8,000 was already considered the ceiling for working people.
Shen Wancheng's price jumped to HK$16,000.
Li Su was immediately tempted upon hearing this.
If he hadn't restrained himself in time, his mouth would have instinctively opened and agreed.
In that instant, a number of questions arose in Li Su's mind.
Are you sure you want to give him 16,000?
What is he going to do? He won't do anything illegal or against the rules.
Li Su even wondered if this Miss Shen had taken a liking to him.
It wasn't that Li Su was narcissistic; it was that Li Su genuinely couldn't imagine what Shen Wancheng wanted to do that required him to come specifically to find him.
With just a word from Shen Wancheng, Xu Pingtao could find any talent for her.
Shen Wancheng had no idea that Li Su was thinking so much.
She answered Li Su's questions truthfully.
"Start a company and engage in real business."
Li Su was even more bewildered now.
Didn't you just say that there's no future in manufacturing?
What's with this talk about getting back into manufacturing now?
Li Su realized from Shen Wancheng's words that Shen Wancheng had her own thoughts, and that she wasn't just some clueless rich kids making fun of a nobody like him on a whim.
Li Su didn't understand, so he asked directly.
Could you explain it more clearly?
"No."
Shen Wancheng refused without even thinking.
She valued Li Su, that's true, but she couldn't possibly tell Li Su about her company's core competitiveness before he even joined the company.
Furthermore, by only outlining the framework without going into details, she was testing Li Su's resolve.
A monthly salary of HK$16,000 is certainly tempting, but as everyone knows, Li Su belongs to the Hong Kong Jockey Club. Although it is not an official organization, it is a legal group approved by the government and the largest group organization in Hong Kong.
As long as Li Su doesn't make any major mistakes, this is a secure job.
Therefore, in the long run, if Shen Wancheng offers a salary of only HK$16,000 without knowing the company's prospects, many people may not think it's as good as the HK$8,000 salary at the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
That's why it's said that Shen Wancheng is testing Li Su's courage.
Li Su was indeed very conflicted. He would sometimes look at Shen Wancheng, sometimes frown in thought, and sometimes look at the securities trading of Hong Kong Island citizens coming and going.
His mind was filled with Shen Wancheng's previous assessment of the economic situation in Hong Kong.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"I'll work for you."
Shen Wancheng's lips curled up, revealing a stunning smile.
She extended a hand to Li Su.
"Welcome, Oriental Chanson. I wish us a pleasant collaboration in the future."
Oriental Chanson is the name Shen Wancheng gave to her company. Originally, she wanted to use Oriental Kingfisher Feather Inlay because Shen Wancheng really liked this intangible cultural heritage technique.
However, kingfishers are endangered protected animals, and more and more people will resist using real kingfisher feathers to make this craft. So, Shen Wancheng named it after this technique, firstly because there are no real kingfisher feather crafts to sell, which would be a misnomer, and secondly because it is a bit unlucky to name it after a technique that can no longer be used to make real products.
Therefore, Shen Wancheng ultimately named her company Oriental Chanson.
The word "颂" (sòng) is a verb meaning to praise, and as a noun, it is a literary form in Chinese culture that can embody Chinese culture.
Oriental Chansons possess both the grandeur and charm of Chinese culture.
"Oriental Chanson".
Li Su repeated the company name that Shen Wancheng had mentioned.
I was still confused; the name didn't sound like the name of a company in the real economy at all.
Li Su first extended his hand to shake hands with Shen Wancheng, saying, "It's a pleasure working with you."
As soon as Shen Wancheng withdrew her hand, Li Su couldn't wait to ask.
"What kind of business are you planning to start? And why would you choose to start a business when you know that the prospects for manufacturing are not good?"
