Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 175 No. 77 Supercar Club
Judging from the location sent by Tang Yiming, their newly formed No. 77 Supercar Club is located in the southern urban area of ​​Mingcheng, near the Guangwei Interchange. This location is almost at the edge of the city, which is much more remote than Zhou Wang imagined.

There was some traffic jam on the Second Ring Road, and after about forty minutes, the Ferrari slowly arrived at its destination.

The entire club was converted from a large factory building. The environment was pretty good, but it was not quite the same as the supercar club Zhou Wang had imagined.

If it’s called a supercar club, there should at least be a racetrack, right?

What do you think?
The Ferrari had just driven into the open gate when it saw Zhang Zhiyuan and Tang Yiming approaching from a distance.

The wall on one side of the factory building was completely removed and transformed into a tiled parking lot with an awning, and there were a variety of cars parked there.

There is a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG that Zhou Wang has only seen on the Internet. This car should have been discontinued for a long time. Its selling price at that time was about 300 million yuan.

There are also more conventional Aston Martin DB11 (more than 200 million), Lamborghini Maverick (300 million), Maserati Gran Cario (more than 200 million), etc.

The cheapest one should be the Porsche 911, which can be bought for more than one million yuan.

Zhou Wang didn’t see the legendary wild horses mixed in, which made him feel that the rumors were not true.

What surprised Zhou Wang was that there was actually a white supercar on the scene that was comparable in price to his Ferrari 812C and even more well-known.

The McLaren P1, known as one of the three greatest cars, is nicknamed the "Smiley Killer".

However, Zhou Wang vaguely remembered that the price of McLaren P1 had dropped sharply in recent years. The last time he saw a news report, it was sold for just over 800 million yuan, which was a direct halving of the price of at least 1300 million yuan back then.

However, the prices of Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari remain high.

A used Porsche 918 is 500 million more expensive than a new one, and its market price is about 1800 million.

The second-hand Ferrari LaFerrari is even more exaggerated. The guide price was 2250 million yuan at that time, and now the price of second-hand cars has soared to more than 3100 million yuan...

You can buy three 812Cs.

"Zhou Wang, I finally got you here!"

Zhang Zhiyuan, who was walking in the front, came over with a laugh. After hugging Zhou Wang, he looked at Miao Ying who came out from the driver's seat in surprise, "Who is this..."

"My driver, Miao Ying."

Zhou Wang briefly introduced them, and then pointed at the two people with Miao Ying, "Young Master Zhang, Brother Yiming, my friend."

From the perspective of the two, although Zhou Wang introduced himself as a "driver", since he and Miao Ying also introduced themselves as two people, what does that mean?
This means that this cool-looking girl is not just Zhou Wang’s driver…

It is said that Zhang Zhiyuan and Tang Yiming are the elites among the rich second generation. They caught this signal in just a moment, and both of them smiled and greeted Miao Ying again.

Facing the two people's meaningful eyes, Miao Ying felt a little embarrassed. She simply said "Hello" and didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Zhou Wang had already taken over the conversation at this time, "I'm sorry, you two, I was delayed by something just now, and I'm late."

"It's okay. We just got together not long ago."

Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and said, "But Yiming was just chatting with me. Was it too hasty to invite you here?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Wang was stunned and looked at Tang Yiming with confusion, who was standing beside him with a mischievous smile.

"You are the Batman of Mingcheng. If you get upset and buy this place again, where can I go to cry?"

Zhang Zhiyuan smiled.

"Hahaha, this factory building is a suitable place that Young Master Zhang found with great difficulty. It used to be a large repair shop. It is quite convenient to transform it into the residence of the supercar club. There is another very important reason, but it is more troublesome to explain. Let's talk about it later..."

At this time, Tang Yiming also laughed and explained.

Zhou Wang laughed when he heard that. "Why would I buy a factory for nothing? It's not like I have too much money and have nowhere to spend it. Besides, I'm really poor recently. I've spent too much these past two days..."

"Looking at the speed at which you spend money, I'm afraid it can't be described as 'spending a lot'..."

Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't help but complain.

As far as he knew, Zhou Wang bought the entire Dianwang Club and the ten-story Linlan International. The total cost of these two items was at least 200 million...

Moreover, Tang Yiming later inquired through his own channels and confirmed that Zhou Wangdou paid the full amount in one lump sum.

This matter does not conform to the normal logic of fund management at all, unless... you are rich to a certain extent.

Anyway, Zhang Zhiyuan was also shocked after knowing this detail. When he talked to his father about it as a joke, Chairman Zhang, who was in charge of a large group, didn't believe it...

"Magic" + "Unfathomable".

This is Zhang Zhiyuan’s current impression of Zhou Wang.

"Come on, let's go in first. It's so hot, how can we stand outside... Miss Miao, come this way!"

At this time, Tang Yiming put his arm around Zhou Wang's shoulders, and specifically called out to Miao Ying, and they walked into the factory together.

Tang Yiming's attitude towards Zhou Wang became much warmer than before, but the underlying reason was not just because he was shocked by Zhou Wang's financial resources.

There is also something here that seems small to Zhou Wang, but is very important to Tang Yiming.

Supercar Club No. 77 is a large supercar club spanning three southwestern provinces, newly formed by Zhang Zhiyuan and some people from two other provinces.

There are many ways to play in a supercar club, but there is one core that remains unchanged, which is the exchange of interests in connections and resources.

Even though the club may be full of young people, their combined influence cannot be underestimated. As long as they are not really stupid, it is quite easy to get things done.

When forming such a large supercar club, the status of the original shareholders becomes very prominent.

Although the reality is that everyone advises the second generation not to make trouble, to be honest, most of the second generation are still eager to prove themselves...

Even if it is not through doing business, being able to become an original shareholder of such a supercar club and enhance one's influence in the circle is also a good choice.

At first, Tang Yiming, who always believed that he was strong enough, assumed that he would get a place.

But the twist is that...

Zhang Zhiyuan met Zhou Wang.

When the top second-generation people negotiated, they finally decided on eight shareholder seats, including four from Sichuan and Chongqing, two from Guizhou Province, and two from Yunnan Province.

Why are there four provinces in Sichuan and Chongqing?

Because there is another mountain city in Sichuan and Chongqing...

It is undeniable that Sichuan and Chongqing's economic strength is the strongest among the three provinces.

This matter was decided after a group of people had discussed it for a long time, and Zhang Zhiyuan had no way to change it, so after he thought about getting Zhou Wang to join, he could only let Tang Yiming withdraw regretfully.

This was not said openly, but at the Dianwang Club, although Tu Ge was trying to sow discord, he also reminded Tang Yiming who was still unaware of the situation.

Originally, Tang Yiming gave the spot to Zhou Wang, and he had no plans to do anything. After all, Zhou Wang's strength was obvious to all, and Zhang Zhiyuan, who had the best family background, might feel a little inferior to him...

But who would have thought that things would take a turn for the better, and Tang Yiming finally became one of the original shareholders of the No. 77 Supercar Club as he wished.

Tang Yiming was stunned, but finally couldn't help but ask Zhang Zhiyuan.

After speaking out, Zhang Zhiyuan did not hide anything from Tang Yiming. He said:

"Yiming, we have known each other for quite some time. I really consider you a friend. I am a little sorry for this, but considering the influence of the club, Zhou Wang is definitely my best choice. And you know why I came to Yunnan Province. Getting closer to Zhou Wang will also help my future career development..."

"Brother Yuan, no need to explain. I definitely don't blame you. I'm just wondering, why did the quota finally get given to me?"

"Because Zhou Wang doesn't want it..."

"Uh, he doesn't want it?"

"Well, he didn't say it explicitly, but he just said that since the shares originally belonged to you, then they should be yours. He will talk about it when he has the chance later..."

Zhang Zhiyuan said a little depressed, "But I always feel... he thinks that what we are doing is a bit petty. When he heard me say that we should subscribe to at least 3000 million yuan of capital for subsequent investment in the construction of the track, he didn't say anything for a long time..."

"Maybe I left you speechless?"

Zhang Zhiyuan said with a bit of self-mockery.

"..."

Tang Yiming didn’t know what to say. Is 3000 million not enough?

He definitely couldn't come up with 30 million on his own. He might have to ask his family for some money and rely on his connections to get the money together.

But if it was Zhou Wang, it wouldn't be surprising. Perhaps only the unit of "billion" could make him raise his eyelids, right?

Perhaps the only things people would be interested in are the large supercar clubs in first-tier cities that radiate across the country.

Anyway, no matter what Zhou Wang's true thoughts were, Tang Yiming had to accept this favor...

So now he has a closer attitude towards Zhou Wang.

But in fact, neither of them knew that when Zhou Wang, who was still in his hometown of Jingcheng at the time, received a call from Tang Yiming, he was really a little confused.

Damn it, I only have 20 or 30 million in cash in total. If I invest another 30 million in you, won’t I have to eat dirt where I am?

So the reason why he remained silent at that time was because he was thinking of what excuse would be more appropriate to reject Young Master Zhang tactfully...

How could he know that the two of them could think so much!
At this time, the few people who were chatting and laughing had already walked into the side door of the factory covered by a curtain. As soon as they walked in, before Zhou Wang could react, accompanied by the sound of salutes, all kinds of streamers floated down and sprinkled on Zhou Wang who was caught off guard.

Zhou Wang, who was a little frightened, subconsciously hugged Miao Ying beside him. It was only when he heard the booing that he realized something was wrong.

He let go of Miao Ying, who was lowering her head and looking a little bewildered, and looked in astonishment. He saw a group of people in front of him holding banners and applauding him, and Zhang Zhiyuan and Tang Yiming had walked over and joined them at some point.

As for the content of the banner:
"Warmly welcome Mr. Zhou Wang, one of the 'Top Ten Outstanding Young People of Jingcheng', to visit the Mingcheng branch of the No. 77 Supercar Club to give us guidance..." Two sexy girls in racing suits ran over, gave Zhou Wang flowers, and boldly kissed him on the cheeks, one on each side.

Zhou Wang's face turned dark, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He pointed at Zhang Zhiyuan, Tang Yiming, Lao Ruan and others who were laughing.

"Okay, okay, you're playing with me, right?"

"No, no, we are not of the same rank, how dare we make up stories about you?"

It was rare to see Zhou Wang looking a little embarrassed, so Tang Yiming laughed even more happily and walked over to pat Zhou Wang on the shoulder.

"I was so shocked when I saw the news, I quickly forwarded it to Young Master Zhang and the others. As expected, everyone shouted 'Fuck!' and 'Brother Gou is awesome!' There was a steady stream of people shouting 'Fuck!' in our group, even though many people don't know you yet..."

"Zhou Wang, you hid it really well. You didn't even share such a big thing with us, and you asked us to find out on our own."

Zhang Zhiyuan also said with some resentment at this time: "Do you really consider us as friends?"

For example, the selection of "Top Ten Outstanding Young People" is held in many places across the country. Perhaps some people in the second generation group would be disdainful of such honors, but too many people are just sour grapes...

Because they know that unless something unexpected happens, no matter how prominent their family is, this kind of honor of being featured in newspapers or included in local chronicles will basically not be theirs in this lifetime.

Therefore, among Zhang Zhiyuan and Tang Yiming’s friends, even those who did not know Zhou Wang before would most likely be curious about this person.

As a result, there are many more members gathered here today, which is something Zhang Zhiyuan did not expect...

"Oh, this kind of thing is definitely not something you can publicize yourself. If I didn't consider you my friends, I would have come here to pick up the car and left. Why would I be standing here talking nonsense with you?"

Zhou Wang laughed and said, "Do you think I have nothing to do? I make hundreds of dollars every minute..."

Of course, Zhang Zhiyuan and the others didn't really blame Zhou Wang. Zhou Wang was still a little touched. After all, they specially organized a small ceremony for you, which meant that they really treated you as a friend...

In short, after Zhou Wang promised various treats, the matter was finally exposed, and Zhang Zhiyuan had the banner removed.

Just to liven up the atmosphere, some things are not something you can joke about...

Only then did Zhou Wang have the opportunity to look at the people around him.

There were really a lot of people, at least 20 or 30 of them, and even some female car owners. Although they were dressed luxuriously, almost none of them were particularly good-looking.

Just because of the temperament, at least it looks comfortable.

Some of them were acquaintances whom Zhou Wang had met last time at the Dianwang Club, but most of them were people he didn't know.

While everyone was chatting and laughing, there were a few people sitting on the sofa not far away, just watching the scene casually, and did not come over.

"Those people are not from our Mingcheng circle. They are friends of Young Master Zhang in the Shanghai circle. They heard about the club party and came to join in the fun. The locals in Shanghai are a bit xenophobic. Young Master Zhang said not to pay attention to them..."

When Zhou Wang noticed those people, Tang Yiming walked up to Zhou Wang and explained in a low voice.

Zhou Wang nodded and didn't care.

Next comes the regular socializing session.

Zhang Zhiyuan and Tang Yiming led the way and began to introduce Zhou Wang to the members of these clubs.

This process was bound to be slow, because it was in such a relatively casual setting, and most of the people there were young people. In addition, many of them had just given face and acted as the atmosphere creator, so Zhou Wang was also happy to chat with them for a few more words.

The format of the introduction is slightly different from that in the outside world, and everyone will probably talk about what kind of car they drive.

After getting to know and talking with everyone, Zhou Wang discovered that he still had some misunderstandings about the composition of supercar clubs.

The membership group, at least on the surface, is not entirely made up of second-generation people. There are also elite entrepreneurs, and their occupations are also diverse.

There is an Aston Martin owner who started from scratch (so he claims), and now owns a chain of beauty salons with dozens of stores.

Another GTR owner is a partner in an accounting firm and is also one of the highly educated group.

Another Rolls-Royce owner is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who just came back from a medical consultation...

Of course, there are definitely some unqualified ones among them. Zhang Zhiyuan treats them all equally on the surface, but one can still hear some differences when he introduces them.

Yang Zhen, who had once had a minor unpleasantness with Zhou Wang but later "reconciled", was also there. Although he still seemed normal and chatted with Zhou Wang for a few words, he was too embarrassed to mention the cooperation with Wuyou Media again.

There is no point in mentioning it——

Zhou Wang is a man who doesn't bear grudges, but he is selective about his friends.

The few female car owners were very enthusiastic towards Zhou Wang, and they joked with him about everything. After all, since they had everything they needed, their standards for judging men were too simple.

Just be handsome and have a good figure.

And Zhou Wang undoubtedly scored full marks in this regard.

One of the female Porsche owners even sent a very obvious flirtatious message to Zhou Wang as soon as she added him on WeChat:
"I know a nice hot spring resort and I'd like to invite you to go on vacation there. Are you free this Sunday? If not, you can also have sex with me at home... Oh, sorry, that was a typo. I meant to have sex with you at my home."

The last person introduced in this circle was the boss of the car dealership that Tang Yiming knew.

He seemed to be the oldest person present, perhaps a few years older than Lao Ruan. He was probably almost forty years old, but he was dressed very fashionably.

"Brother Gou, this is Mr. She Baichuan, who is a little bit related to me. Although his car dealership is in Mingcheng, his connections are all over the country. As long as there is a car on the market and you are willing to wait, you can find him!"

Listening to Tang Yiming's introduction, Zhou Wang smiled knowingly and shook hands with She Baichuan, who was very polite.

"Hello, Boss She."

"Brother Gou, I've heard a lot about you. Hahaha, I've already got the car you ordered. Do you want to take a look at it now?"

She Baichuan didn't say too much nonsense. He knew the main purpose of Zhou Wang's visit today, so he went straight to the point.

This was exactly what Zhou Wang wanted. He nodded immediately and said, "Of course I can't wait."

"Here, please come this way."

She Baichuan immediately led the way with a smile.

The members of the club all knew that Zhou Wang came here because he bought a new car, so they followed him with great interest, ready to join in the fun.

A group of people came to the other end of the factory building, where there was a back door used for transportation. A small flatbed truck was parked quietly here. On the flatbed behind the truck, a new car covered with black cloth was also parked quietly.

"discharge?"

She Baichuan looked at Zhou Wang with a smile.

"Unload it."

Zhou Wang nodded affirmatively.

With a wave of She Baichuan's hand, the truck driver who had been waiting nearby got in and started the vehicle. With his operation, the Mercedes-Benz, still covered in black cloth, slowly slid down the inclined flatbed and landed steadily on the ground of the factory.

At this time, She Baichuan stepped aside and made a "please" gesture to Zhou Wang.

The AMG GT Black Series is a limited edition collector's product produced by Mercedes-Benz and is known as the AMG among AMGs. It is also a car that Zhou Wang is very interested in. He immediately strode forward, picked up a corner of the black cloth, and then stepped back to lift the entire black cloth.

"Fuck, that's so damn handsome!"

"Silver is pretty good, it's visually stunning..."

"Seeing this car makes me feel a few years younger. I regret buying a Lamborghini. I should have persuaded my stepmother to buy this one instead!"

Accompanied by a burst of exclamations, the spotless 21-model silver Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series also appeared in everyone's eyes.

As She Baichuan handed the car keys to Zhou Wang, Zhou Wang unlocked the car. The azure blue lights lit up, and the handsomeness was overwhelming.

"Beautiful!"

Zhou Wang, who saw the real car for the first time, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. He imagined how the cold-looking senior schoolmate would drive the car, and a picture already appeared in his mind.

It's just too cool...

"I'll try it first."

After hearing She Baichuan's explanation, Zhou Wang couldn't wait to get into the driver's seat and test drive the car first.

The sound of the engine is not as pleasant as that of the Ferrari 812C, but it is definitely quite pleasant.

The riding experience of Mercedes-Benz is impeccable. Comfort in this area has always been their strong point. As a star sports car, Zhou Wang could not find any shortcomings in its handling.

Zhou Wang liked driving it more and more, and felt that he could try driving it with his senior from time to time.

Zhou Wang simply drove around the factory and then returned to the original place.

However, since he was not a professional, he threw the car keys to Miao Ying and asked her to take a quick test drive.

After Miao Ying nodded, Zhou Wang smiled and looked at She Baichuan who had been waiting quietly on the side: "Boss She, no problem, swipe the card."

She Baichuan quickly gave the quotation and service contract to Zhou Wang for confirmation.

The total price of the vehicle plus various miscellaneous items, after rounding off the decimals, was 650 million, almost twice as expensive as the so-called official guide price. However, Zhou Wang was mentally prepared and did not worry too much.

The deposit of 15 yuan had already been paid through Tang Yiming, so now Zhou Wang only needed to pay another 635 million yuan.

Zhou Wang was not under any pressure as he was using the spending money that belonged to his senior. He took out the Black Diamond Card from the City Commercial Bank and was about to pay when an interested voice rang out beside him:
"Dude, do you plan to sell this car?"

　I got up too late, and only started writing at 6 or 7 o'clock. The second chapter may be finished at midnight. Yanzu, please get up and read it later...

　　Thank you all for your monthly votes. I checked and found that my ranking hasn’t dropped much. I’m touched.
