Can you be called a rich man if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 207 Seeing Him is Like Seeing God

After finishing all the things that needed to be said, Gu Heng asked with a smile: "Have you guys eaten? How about sitting down and eating something?"

"No need, Mr. Gu. We had the airplane meal and we're not hungry."

Hearing Gu Heng's words, several employees subconsciously glanced at the dishes on the table and swallowed their saliva slightly. Although they didn't know the value of this table of food, it definitely couldn't be cheap. You have to know that this is Xin Rong Ji.
But no matter how extravagant it is, they will never agree.
In their eyes, Gu Heng was just being polite, and if they really agreed, they would be ungrateful.
You have to know that although Gu Heng in front of them is a few years younger than most of them, he is their real boss. Not to mention eating at the same table with the boss, they didn't even dare to think about eating at the same table with the director.
Eating at the same table with the boss? Isn't this boring?
Gu Heng looked at their embarrassed expressions and guessed their inner thoughts, and shook his head slightly.

He was not being polite, but sincerely wanted them to sit down and eat.
Gu Heng was quite generous to his employees, and since they had come all the way from Beijing, he would not be stingy.

However, he also knew that the hidden rules of the relationship between superiors and subordinates over thousands of years had been deeply rooted. Even if they were forced to stay, they would not be happy to eat. He then said, "The food on the plane is not even enough to feed a cat. How can it be full?

Okay, I won't force you. You can open another private room at Xinrongji and eat whatever you want. Consider it a travel subsidy and you can just bring the invoice to get reimbursed when the time comes."

A few employees wanted to say something, but Gu Heng had already raised his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, go ahead."

Seeing that Gu Heng was already impatient, they stopped talking and left the box after expressing their gratitude and went to the front desk to eat. Although IDE Capital is not large in scale, its employee benefits are definitely top-notch. Even ordinary financial staff like them earn over 20 yuan a month. With benefits and bonuses, their annual income can reach over yuan.
But even with such good treatment, they can't usually eat and drink lavishly in famous restaurants like Xin Rong Ji.
Now that they have Gu Heng's imperial edict, they have nothing to worry about.
Who wouldn’t be happy to eat and drink in accordance with the emperor’s orders?
The more they thought about it, the more smiles appeared on their faces. They were originally complaining about the urgent business trip, but now they had no complaints at all.
An extremely ordinary business trip, staying in a five-star hotel and eating at a Michelin restaurant, is even more enjoyable than traveling. What else is there to complain about?

Looking around the world, which company can achieve this?

There is no other boss like Gu Heng who doesn't care about money.
Although several employees had left, the box was still eerily quiet.

Almost everyone is still immersed in the shock of the 70 billion tax amount.
Gu Heng also expected this situation and just smiled faintly.
That's right, he did it on purpose just now.
But I'm not trying to show off on purpose. Although there is that element, it's not much.

The main reason was that his next move would cause a big stir. Even if it wasn't known to the whole country, at least most of the netizens would know about it. There was no need to hide it.
What he couldn't stand the most when reading novels before was that after becoming rich, people deliberately kept a low profile and tried to play the pig and eat the tiger. He was already disgusted by it.
Although my money was given by the system, it was completely legal property. Even the tax return was paid at the highest amount. Why should I keep a low profile? When it was time to be high-profile, I couldn't keep a low profile!
Thinking of this, Gu Heng did not say anything, but just quietly picked up the food and put it into his mouth.
The first person to react was Lei Yibin. After all, he was a big boss who had seen the world, and he was not like these Internet celebrities who were still thinking about "70 billion" at this time.
But even if he realized it, he didn't dare to ask Gu Heng what was going on, even though his curiosity was about to burst him.
More than 10 billion in profits.
If he could make some progress and achieve 1% of Gu Heng's profit level in the future, he would be a wealthy man in his lifetime even if he didn't start this crappy Wuyou Media.
As the group of internet celebrities gradually woke up from their shock, Lin Jiayun, who thought she had the closest relationship with Gu Heng, couldn't help but be curious and asked Gu Heng in a low voice: "Gu Heng, what about the tax return you mentioned just now?"

“It’s just filing taxes legally.”

Putting a piece of golden hairtail into his mouth, Gu Heng responded casually.

At this time, Lei Yibin had pricked up his ears, wanting to hear how Gu Heng made all this money. He really didn't dare to ask, but since Lin Jiayun, Gu Heng's bedmate, had spoken, it would be okay for him to eavesdrop from the side, right?
Lin Jiayun also cooperated very well and asked again: "Why do you have to report so much tax? 70 billion. It's personal income tax."

"I have 10 small fund accounts in the foreign exchange market and have hired more than a dozen financial teams to help me operate them. The more than 150 billion is the financial income from the first half of the year. Although the personal income tax in the United States is relatively low, there are several taxation standards for these financial incomes. The economic team behind me did the math for me and found that if I reported the tax in China, I would save more than 20 billion. So I transferred all the funds back to China."

Gu Heng's explanation was well-reasoned. Although Lin Jiayun didn't quite understand it, she got a key piece of information.
That means Gu Heng's income in the first half of the year reached more than 150 billion, and he had to pay 70 billion in taxes alone.
I was so shocked that I couldn't even close my mouth.
But it's not just her, everyone in the field is similar to him
There is a huge difference between owning 150 billion and earning 150 billion in half a year.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the whole of China, a company that can make a profit of 150 billion in half a year is definitely at the ceiling level.
Lei Yibin's heart was also in turmoil.
Looking at Gu Heng's young face, and thinking about how Gu Heng was spending billions of dollars, I finally understood where Gu Heng's confidence came from.
The financial market is definitely the most profitable place in the world. If it is not particularly profitable, then why are the Morgan family, the Rockefeller family, and other top chaebol families in the United States and Europe all engaged in financial business?

without any exaggeration
No matter how big the real industry is, the end point will be entering the financial market. Otherwise, even if you become the world's richest man, you will still be second-rate, because the so-called richest man, whether it is Musk who is engaged in new energy vehicles, or Bernard Arnault, the helmsman of the luxury empire LV, their asset statistics will never escape the market value calculation, and how is the market value calculated?

It is based on the stability of the financial market.

Only when the financial market is stable can the stock market be stable.

If something goes wrong in the financial market, the stock market will be finished.

This point has been clearly demonstrated by several financial crises and the subprime mortgage crisis.

The giants who control the financial industry are like sickles. Every time the market fluctuates, they harvest the global capital one by one like cutting leeks, and even national property can be harvested. Liben and Thailand had painful experiences, and Hong Kong Island even needed to use trains to load money to save the market.
Especially in the Western world, the power of financial capital is even higher than that of a country's president.
Gu Heng in front of him was already making huge profits in the financial market, which was enough to prove his strength.
The system didn't seem to give Gu Heng any background, but in fact that hidden background was radiating to the surroundings all the time, and the range was getting larger and larger.
But this radiation range is not strong for ordinary people, but only for those so-called high-end people
The more you know and the more you understand, the more you can understand the energy contained in Gu Heng.
Perhaps one day, when Gu Heng has completely figured out the system, those people whom he could not even look up to before will have to choose to look up to him, and see him as if they were seeing a god.
time flies.

The dinner is almost over.

After Gu Heng gave everyone a series of shocks, the dinner had already changed.
Everyone looked at Gu Heng with admiration.
Even Lei Yibin wished that he was a woman. If he could hold on to Gu Heng's thigh, he would not have to struggle in this life, not only in this life, but also in the next life.
Xinrongji tastes really good. Gu Heng put down his chopsticks after eating until he was 80% full. Just as he was about to wipe his mouth with paper, he saw Lei Yibin stand up and said apologetically, "Boss Gu, I'm really sorry. The company just sent me a message saying that there is an urgent matter that I need to deal with. I may not be able to accompany you any longer.

How about you pick two artists from our company to stay with you instead of me?" Lei Yibin's words were full of hints.
He knew very well the saying that when one is full of food and drink, one will think of sex.
Now Gu Heng was full and it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Aren't the subsequent activities just the same?
If I continue to force myself to stay by Gu Heng's side at this time, not only will Gu Heng not continue to have a good impression of me, but it will also destroy all the good impressions that I have worked so hard to show today.
Gu Heng also understood what Lei Yibin meant, and nodded, "Boss Lei, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I don't need to worry about it."

Hearing Gu Heng's agreement, Lei Yibin breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, who do you plan to let stay with you?"

The group of Internet celebrities held their breath upon hearing this, waiting for Gu Heng to pass his selective gaze over them.
After all, she is a well-known internet celebrity and the goddess in the eyes of countless otakus. Isn't it shameful for her to be chosen arbitrarily like this?
Do not!
Not only are they not ashamed, but they are actually quite honored.
These internet celebrities who pursue good looks usually shoot marginal videos to gain traffic and please the audience.
Since we are trying to please others anyway, why not please a wealthy and powerful person like Gu Heng? Why do we have to please those freeloaders? How much money can we make by pleasing them? If we can make Gu Heng happy, we may not have to struggle for the rest of our lives.
They are so clear about what is important and what is not.
Gu Heng just glanced at them briefly and said with a playful smile: "What are the options? I don't even know the names, how can I choose?"

When Gu Heng finished speaking, the disappointment in the eyes of these internet celebrities was self-evident.
But Gu Heng's next words rekindled the joy in their eyes.

"Since we're already here, don't bother picking just one or two. I'm planning on going to a nightclub, so if you're interested, you can come. I'll pay for tonight's consumption."

I originally thought that Gu Heng rejected them, but things suddenly turned out to be a ray of hope.
After hearing what Gu Heng said, all the internet celebrities stood up excitedly, not caring about their manners anymore, and nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes."

"I haven't been to a nightclub for a long time, so I'd love to go with Mr. Gu."

"Me too!"

Lei Yibin was stunned at first, then he smiled generously and said, "That's fine, let them entertain you, Mr. Gu, on my behalf.

Mr. Gu, have fun. If any of them makes you unhappy at night, just tell me and I will take care of her!"

After that, he turned to the group of internet celebrities and said, "Have fun with Mr. Gu tonight. The company will reimburse you for any necessary expenses. No invoices are required.

In addition, we have a public holiday tomorrow, so you don’t have to come to work. All activities and work will be postponed for one day.”

"Thank you, Mr. Lei~"

"Boss, you are so nice~"

Faced with these delicate voices, Lei Yibin remained indifferent and still humbly said goodbye to Gu Heng: "Mr. Gu, then have fun. I won't disturb you. Please contact me if you have anything."

Gu Heng waved his hand calmly, and Lei Yibin left the box very sensibly to pay the bill.
After Lei Yibin left, Gu Heng took out his phone and searched for the day before finding the WeChat of the bar marketing person named "Jia Jun" whom he had met before. He sent him a WeChat message to reserve a table.
Lin Jiayun, who was sitting next to him, had sharp eyes. After seeing this, she put her arm around Gu Heng and said in a soft voice, "Jia Jun is no longer in the FT Bar."

Gu Heng raised his eyebrows: "Oh? He doesn't do marketing anymore?"

"No, but he was poached by SOS and is now working as a marketing manager for SOS, leading a team."

"Does that mean you got a promotion?"

"more or less."

Although Gu Heng had not deleted Jia Jun's WeChat, he had long blocked his circle of friends and knew nothing about the news. However, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't have any emotional fluctuations.
Not to mention that he just changed a bar to become a manager, even if he opened a bar himself, it would be the same.
If he hadn't seen more than a dozen Internet celebrities surrounding him and wanted to replicate the grand event of Principal Wang taking a dozen girls to a nightclub, he would never have thought of such a person.
Following Jia Jun's response on the other end of the phone, Gu Heng simply glanced at it and threw the phone to Lin Jiayun: "You talk to him and ask him to book a bigger booth for me at SOS.

It's good to change the taste. The previous FT bar was too small and I didn't have much fun. I heard that SOS is quite big, so I'll go there tonight. "

After saying that, Gu Heng stood up, stretched, and walked towards the door.

Lin Jiayun also held Gu Heng's phone and followed closely beside him.
She said she was helping Gu Heng to get a card, and she really was doing it. She didn't even dare to leave the chat page, for fear of seeing something she shouldn't see and making Gu Heng unhappy.
But what she didn't know was that although Gu Heng was walking the whole time, he would glance at her from time to time with a satisfied smile, sighing that she was still as clear-headed and sensible as ever.

It was precisely because of her understanding that Gu Heng had not grown tired of her until now.
