The God of Wealth starts with doing whatever you want

Two hours later.

The plane landed at Beijing Capital International Airport.

Xu Yun and Lei Jun, a married couple, walked out of there together.

On the plane, the woman and Xu Yun gradually became acquainted, and she also learned that it was his first time visiting the city and that he was not familiar with it.

As a gesture of hospitality, Lei Jun and the woman invited him to their home for a meal.

Last night's dinner was more like a banquet with many people, so it wasn't a private gathering.

There are still differences between them.

This shows that after last night's events and the casual conversation on the plane just now, the relationship between the two has become even closer.

Otherwise, who would invite someone they don't know well or don't like to their home for dinner?

Xu Yun naturally refused.

However, because he was unfamiliar with the city, Xu Yun couldn't find the place he had arranged to meet Zhong Yanyan.

So Lei Jun and his wife drove him there.

Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location, Zhong Yanyan was already waiting there.

"Thank you, seniors." Xu Yun smiled and expressed her gratitude, then introduced Zhong Yanyan to her.

Lei Jun is a big celebrity, so Zhong Yanyan naturally knows him.

She smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Lei, hello, sister-in-law. I am Zhong Yanyan. It's nice to meet you both."

"Hello, Miss Zhong, it's a pleasure to meet you too." The moment Lei Jun and the woman saw Zhong Yanyan, they knew that this woman was no ordinary person.

She's not comparable to that little girl from yesterday.

They saw a heroic spirit and an aura of superiority in her.

Looking at the car and its license plate behind her further confirmed my suspicions.

There are only about 200 cars with this license plate number nationwide.

Lei Jun said, "We originally wanted to invite Xu Yun to our home, but he declined, saying he had already made plans with you."

"Miss Zhong, why don't you come with us?"

"Mr. Lei, let's forget about it."

Zhong Yanyan politely declined, saying, "We do have some things to take care of today. Once we're done, if Xu Yun is willing, we will definitely come to visit you."

"Row."

Lei Jun said, "Xu Yun, I'll be in the capital for a while anyway. Let me know when you're free."

"Ok."

The two sides did not exchange any further words. Xu Yun and Zhong Yanyan greeted the couple and then got into their car and left.

Thinking about the driver with the neatly trimmed buzz cut and the unusual license plate, the woman said, "Honey, I'm starting to trust your judgment."

"After seeing it today, I have even more confidence in his 100 billion yuan financing."

Lei Jun said in a good mood, "Maybe Xu Yun can really hold on!"

the other side.

Zhong Yanyan brought Xu Yun to their family's accommodation in the capital.

This is a courtyard house very close to the imperial city.

Three entries and two exits.

There are mountains, water, and fish.

Although the exterior looks retro, the interior decoration is not so ancient.

It can be said that the designer has done a great job of preserving the original style of the era while perfectly combining it with modern furniture.

In ancient times, this would have been a residence reserved for officials of the second rank.

Xu Yun asked with some curiosity, "How much does this house cost?"

"If this house is valued at current prices, it would be worth over a billion."

Zhong Yanyan said meaningfully, "However, don't even think about it. Houses like these are in high demand but not available. You basically can't buy one."

"The wicked powerful and wealthy!"

"Stop complaining. You're enjoying the benefits that come with power and wealth right now."

Zhong Yanyan said with a smile, "The world has always operated this way, and it cannot be changed overnight."

But my grandfather told me a principle that I think makes a lot of sense.

"Oh." Xu Yun asked curiously, "What's the reasoning behind it? Tell me."

When you have no money and no status, you must learn to treat yourself as a human being.

When you have money and status, you must learn to treat ordinary people as human beings.

Zhong Yanyan said, "Actually, most of us are good people in essence as long as we do these two things well."

Xu Yun carefully considered these two sentences, and they really made a lot of sense.

Do you know why I'm growing to like you more and more?

Zhong Yanyan smiled and said, "It's because I see this quality in you."

You possess immense wealth and status, yet you lack any sense of superiority towards anyone around you.

You didn't look down on anyone around you who was inferior to you.

You never bully others, whether they are street vendors or salespeople in a shopping mall.

You treat them with equal respect, respecting every ordinary person who works hard.

And you are using your wealth to continuously do meaningful things for society.

In fact, Xu Yun couldn't hide many things from Zhong Yanyan or Old Master Zhong.

Whether it's financial investment institutions, charitable organizations, or other industries.

"I'm so great!"

Xu Yun said self-deprecatingly, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known I had these good qualities."

"That's because in your subconscious, you take this for granted and don't feel that it's anything special or remarkable."

Zhong Yanyan took his arm and said, "And that is precisely what I think is your most remarkable and special quality and personal charm."

"Besides these, do I have any other qualities?" Xu Yun smiled and said, "If you can talk about them, then tell me more."

"The rest~"

Zhong Yanyan smiled and said, "It's you, isn't it? A true villain, not a hypocrite."

"Are you insulting me or praising me?"

"I'm praising you."

Zhong Yanyan explained, "Even if you're a womanizer, you do it openly and honestly, never hiding it."

Otherwise, how would I know I have so many sisters?

"Forehead……"

Xu Yun said somewhat awkwardly, "Let's not talk about that advantage."

"What, are you feeling a little embarrassed too?"

Zhong Yanyan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Since you know you've made a mistake, you should restrain yourself in the future and bring back fewer sisters for me."

Otherwise, I'm afraid there won't be enough tables at home to sit on during the Chinese New Year.

"I try my best."

Xu Yun said, "However, sometimes when you're out and about, your brain just doesn't work."

"You should just be secretly happy."

Zhong Yanyan pouted and said, "Even the emperors of ancient times probably didn't live as comfortably as you do now."

"You don't have to worry about national affairs, and you have a harem of concubines, so you can live a carefree life all day long." "That makes perfect sense." Xu Yun mentioned his upcoming trip and asked if the other person wanted to go.

Zhong Yanyan refused outright.

"Forget it, if I go, you probably won't have a good time either."

Zhong Yanyan said, "Besides, I wouldn't feel comfortable watching you being all lovey-dovey with other women. It's better not to see it and not to be bothered."

"..." Xu Yun.

……

After sending his wife home, Lei Jun rushed back to Xiaomi Group headquarters alone.

Around 10 a.m. this morning, he had a group meeting to discuss the upcoming launch of a new model, a large SUV.

With the SU7 and YU7 already selling like hotcakes, this model undoubtedly has an even more promising sales target.

After all, the former two are positioned for young people, focusing on personalization and individual experience, but this car that is about to be released is more family-oriented, designed for the daily travel needs of families.

But this also involves some other things.

One issue is that the initial investment and the return are not proportional at present. Although the sales volume has increased, the cash flow has not actually recovered.

The so-called profit cycle takes place a year or even two years later.

Now, with the release of a third model, the company is continuing to increase investment and seize the new energy vehicle market, which undoubtedly requires a significant amount of capital.

Xiaomi Group is not just about Xiaomi cars; it also has many other products, such as mobile phones and home appliances.

These things will tie up a lot of the group's funds.

On Xiaomi's board of directors, some shareholders actually disagree with the frequent release of new models, feeling that they are building them too fast and should take a more stable approach.

This would also greatly reduce the risk.

Moreover, Xiaomi Group itself has investments in many other new energy vehicle companies.

Doing this now is undoubtedly stealing market share from the companies they invest in.

Although you can earn a lot, you might be attacked by everyone!
To put it bluntly, the current shareholders have made enough money and are only interested in stability, not in taking on any risks.

Their ideas were actually different from Lei Jun's.

It was on this basis that they came up with the idea of ​​using Xiaomi Auto's third round of financing to manufacture cars, which greatly reduced the risk for their own group.

The news was quickly leaked by the board members and became known to many bigwigs.

Especially some companies that control various financial investment institutions and funds, like wolves that have smelled meat, are eager to get involved.

They're never short of money; what they lack are good projects.

But once these people get involved, the nature of the company may change, if a shareholder of a certain group colludes with the other party.

Lei Jun may no longer have absolute say in the matter.

This was unacceptable to Lei Jun, which is why he went around looking for allies he felt were reliable.

This gave Xu Yun the opportunity to participate and become the only recipient of funding.

at the meeting.

After discussing the established strategic decision-making plan, some shareholders inquired about financing.

Because what happened at last night's dinner was already known to some of the shareholders present.

When questioned by everyone, Lei Jun readily admitted that the 100 billion yuan financing had been secured and that both parties would follow up immediately.

Some people curiously inquired about Xu Yun's identity, whether he had so much money that it was impossible to receive it without paying.

Why not consider other investment institutions?
After all, many people wanted to raise funds for Xiaomi, and many of them approached these board members privately.

Lei Jun naturally knew what they were up to, so he indicated that the other party was his junior and assured everyone.

"The money will definitely be in place. If it can't be in place, I will personally contribute 100 billion."

Faced with Lei Jun's solemn pledge, the other board members had no choice but to remain silent.

We can only wait and see.

Or rather, before things were settled, others ousted the person named Xu Yun.

This is what's going on behind the scenes.

They only need to inform the other party about this; what the other party does to secure the funding is their business.

After the meeting, Lei Jun rushed to the Xiaomi Auto factory.

In a place like the capital, Xiaomi Auto acquired the land for the factory at the fastest speed and then put it into operation.

This is tantamount to strong support from the local government, giving them the green light all the way.

Some people online even joked that Lei Jun was building cars on official orders.

This is undoubtedly impossible.

It can only be said that his business model based on new energy ideas aligns with the government's economic blueprint.

The two sides were somewhat in agreement.

The country's current economic strategy is clearly undergoing a gradual shift, starting with planning for AI, chips, new energy, and so on.

However, the higher-ups are the first to know about these plans and future development directions, and they are unlikely to let them go.

The plan has been in place for some time.

Now, with Xiaomi's car business so lucrative, many people are eyeing it, eager to get a piece of the pie.

When they heard inside information that a young man named Xu Yun had taken the lucrative prize ahead of time, they were naturally unhappy.

So they all started using their own connections and influence to investigate this guy.

Everyone's idea was undoubtedly to cause the matter to fail, so that they could take advantage of the situation and Lei Jun would have no reason to refuse their "help".

Xu Yun was unaware that she had become the target of public criticism as she and Zhong Yanyan strolled around the courtyard.

Until Lin Zhengyu walked in.

Lin Zhengyu's purpose was obvious: he came to take these two people to his home for dinner.

This is Grandpa's invitation.

Originally, Mr. Lin was just making a polite remark, or rather, mocking Mr. Zhong.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually invited their granddaughter and future grandson-in-law to their home for dinner.

Since the other party has come, he, as an elder, can't possibly refuse to accept the challenge.

Words spoken are like water spilled; they cannot be taken back.

Otherwise, wouldn't I be ridiculed by some people for lacking vision?

"Brother Xu, Zhong Yanyan."

Lin Zhengyu greeted everyone warmly as he entered, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to come to the capital. You didn't even tell me beforehand. If Grandpa hadn't asked me to pick you up today, I wouldn't have known."

"Lin Zhengyu".

Zhong Yanyan corrected, "Since you call Xu Yun 'brother,' you should call me 'sister-in-law.' Remember not to get it wrong next time!"

"I won't..."

Lin Zhengyu stubbornly said, "You know I've liked you since I was a child, this is my last bit of dignity!"

"Whatever you want, but..."

Zhong Yanyan smiled, and suddenly kissed Xu Yun in front of Lin Zhengyu, saying, "You have no hope in this life. Find someone else you like."

"Pah, you two shameless lovers! Showing off your love will only lead to a quick breakup. I wish you two a speedy separation."

Lin Zhengyu cursed in frustration and said, "Let's go, your family is waiting for you to eat."

The three then got into a Hongqi car and drove towards the restricted area.

A moment later, Xu Yun and Zhong Yanyan passed through the heavy guards and arrived at a mansion, where they met Elder Lin.

At first glance, Xu Yun noticed that his mental state wasn't as good as Old Zhong's; he seemed somewhat frail and elderly. (End of Chapter)
