Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 232 Investor Zhou Wang

Gulfstream G650?

Oh my god, a private jet!

As one of the most famous business jet series, Gulfstream G650 can be said to be the first choice for many wealthy people to purchase private jets, such as Liu Moudong, Musk, Shi Mouzhu and so on.

Zhou Wang was somewhat surprised. Ji Xiaoxi's reward was much more powerful than the "consumption money" given by his senior.

But on second thought, Zhou Wang felt that the comparison could not be made in this way.

After all, [Ji Xiaoxi's Desire Roulette] is in the form of a lottery, which has great uncertainty. This time I was lucky enough to get a "Golden Legend" with only a 1% probability, but next time maybe it will be a very ordinary reward.

However, [Jiang Mo's Desire Consumption Fund] is more stable. As long as Jiang Mo's desires are satisfied in a certain aspect, cash will pop out. The bigger the surprise he gives to the senior sister, the more money will pop out.

Unfortunately, at least in name, this plane can only be purchased in Ji Xiaoxi's name, or in other words, she needs to pay one dollar for the privilege to take effect.

Zhou Wang remembered that he could buy private jets on the auction platform, but they were all second-hand. Since the system gave him the privilege, it would definitely be more cost-effective to customize a new one.

We can only talk about this later. Now is definitely not the right time.

Fortunately, Zhou Wang currently does not have much demand for a private jet. If the system does not cover the maintenance costs for him, he may not want it.

After all, the downtime fee for one year alone is at least seven figures, not to mention the cost of hiring crew members.

He now has a lot of assets but little cash, so suddenly buying a private jet is a bit of a burden...

……

When we returned to No. 9 Taohuayuan Yanyu Village, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Ding Dong!

Before getting off the bus, a WeChat message popped up on his phone. Zhou Wang clicked it and saw that it was from Ji Xiaoxi. He was a little surprised. When he saw the content, Zhou Wang raised his eyebrows:
"Zhou Wang, I want to delete you."

Zhou Wang stared at this sentence for a while without replying. He just silently opened the "Transfer" option and directly transferred 88888.

"I'll give you a small gift someday."

Zhou Wang added another sentence.

Soon, Ji Xiaoxi's nickname was replaced by "the other party is typing", but after a while, everything was hidden again. After all, Ji Xiaoxi did not reply to Zhou Wang, nor did he receive the transfer.

Zhou Wang didn't care. He just put away his phone and got out from the back seat of the Phantom after Xiao An, who came up quickly, helped open the car door.

"Welcome home, Mr. Zhou. Would you like some midnight snack?"

Xiao An asked as he helped Zhou Wang take off his coat.

"Forget about the midnight snack, I just finished my meal, but from the tone of your voice, have you hired a babysitter?"

Zhou Wang walked in accompanied by Xiao An and Miao Ying and asked casually.

"Yes, an experienced lady. She also works part-time as a cleaner when she is free. We have also found a gardener, who was recommended by the property management company. There are two people in total, a couple... Mr. Zhou, do you want to meet them?"

"Is it Qingkui who is in charge?"

Zhou Wang thought for a moment and asked.

"Yes, Miss Jiang participated in the interviews of all three people."

Xiao An nodded immediately.

"Then I'll be gone. If they are competent, their probation period can be shortened appropriately. You can make the arrangements for the rest later."

When Zhou Wang heard that Jiang Qingkui had already passed the assessment, he waved his hand with relief.

Miao Ying went to the annex building to rest, while Zhou Wang, accompanied by Xiao An, went straight to the master bedroom.

"Mr. Zhou, do you want to take a bath? I've already filled the bathtub with water."

Xiao An asked again at this time.

"Oh?" Zhou Wang was startled, then nodded, "Then let's make one."

Zhou Wang usually doesn't have the habit of taking a bath, but today he does feel a little sticky, and it's still early, so taking a bath is no problem.

Xiao An followed Zhou Wang to the bathroom and started helping him take off his clothes without saying a word.

Recently, Xiao An basically took care of Zhou Wang's daily life. He gradually got used to the feeling of having everything done for him, and soon let Xiao An strip him naked, then sighed and lay down in the fan-shaped bathtub.

Xiao An turned around and left, and when he came back a moment later, he was holding a bottle of iced Roosevelt No. 10, as well as cigarettes, lighters, ashtrays, etc.

After putting these things aside, Xiao An asked hesitantly, "Mr. Zhou, are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Well, I've been out for too long. I have a lot of things I need to go back and deal with."

Zhou Wang, who was leaning against the side of the bathtub with his eyes closed, nodded.

"Um... I see you look a little tired, do you need me to give you a massage to relax?"

Xiao An bit her lip and then asked softly.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Wang didn't think much about it until he heard a rustling sound.

When he opened his eyes in surprise, Xiao An had already returned to his original state and was... staring down at him.

Under the light, Xiao An, with a slightly red face, still looked a little embarrassed, but she did not act as shy as a young girl. She just looked up at Zhou Wang quietly, and when she saw that Zhou Wang had no intention of objecting, she stepped directly into the bathtub.

A bathtub with a diameter of two meters can easily accommodate two people, but Xiao An insisted on squeezing together with Zhou Wang, which made Zhou Wang feel helpless.

The mature body of a woman in her thirties caused the water temperature to rise significantly.

"Then Mr. Zhou...I'll start."

Xiao An said this, then lowered his head and started massaging Zhou Wang's neck gently.

His technique was average, but he was eloquent and beat Ji Xiaoxi, who knew nothing about it.

Until a certain moment, Xiao An was completely submerged in the water, and only the bright moon at the end of the mountain rose slowly and floated above the water...

Zhou Wangshuang was stunned, but he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Are you sure this won't choke?

“I grew up by the sea…”

Xiao An seemed to know what Zhou Wang was worried about, and said something to Zhou Wang while taking a breath.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wang felt completely relieved.

……

Day and night rotate, yin and yang alternate.

In the blink of an eye, it was already early morning of the next day.

Zhou Wang actually woke up earlier than Xiao An. From this point of view, Xiao An, as the housekeeper, seemed to have neglected his duty.

But considering that Zhou Wang was very angry last night and Xiao An had endured a lot of his brutality, Zhou Wang could understand her tiredness.

Gently lifting the quilt, Zhou Wang picked up the piece of white silk hanging at his feet and threw it aside.

Originally, Xiao An didn't wear stockings yesterday, but Zhou Wang asked her to change them temporarily. Perhaps because Ji Xiaoxi's shadow was still lingering in her mind, Zhou Wang deliberately asked her to wear white stockings...

Xiao An has never worn white. Fortunately, she probably predicted Zhou Wang's preferences in advance. When she moved into the house, she bought a lot of stockings online in various styles. She was very thoughtful.

As soon as Zhou Wang made a noise, Xiao An, who was still sleeping, woke up immediately.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I overslept..."

Xiao An apologized while struggling to get up.

"It's okay, don't worry about me, sleep a little longer, I'm going to the gym first."

Zhou Wang pressed her smooth shoulder blade.

Xiao An still insisted on getting out of bed. After helping Zhou Wang put on his clothes, she put on her pajamas again at Zhou Wang's insistence and went back to her room to catch up on some sleep...

Zhou Wang knew that she was afraid of being seen by others. Although Zhou Wang didn't care about this, after all, in front of Miao Ying and Jiang Qingkui, he actually had no image to speak of. But Zhou Wang still sincerely appreciated Xiao An's sensible behavior.

His way of expressing his appreciation was very simple. He sent a WeChat message to Xu Wenxi, asking her to give Xiao An an extra bonus of 2 yuan next month as an encouragement.

……

August 2024, 8, cloudy and hot.

After spending more than a week in Hangzhou, Zhou Wang set off to leave the city.

Looking back on the past short period of time, Zhou Wang has experienced a lot, but the gains have undoubtedly been huge.

He acquired new fixed assets here, took on his first job in life, expanded his network of contacts, and at the same time... became even more of a "scumbag".

After leaving Hangzhou, Zhou Wang did not return to Mingcheng immediately, but went to Gusu instead.

They all say Suzhou and Hangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou. Since you are in Hangzhou, you naturally cannot leave out Suzhou.

Only in this way can Jiangnan be relatively complete.

Xu Wenxi also rushed to Gusu from Shanghai. Together with Jiang Qingkui, she accompanied Zhou Wang to play in Gusu for two days.

To sum it up, I went to the Suzhou Museum, Pingjiang Road, the Humble Administrator's Garden, the Oriental Gate, the Hanshan Temple, the Shuangta Market, ate taro mochi shreds, crabapple cakes, and some vegetarian noodles at Xiyuan Temple...

There were also a lot of special sweets, but Zhou Wang basically just tasted a bite and stuffed it to Xu Wenqian who loved sweets. On the third day, Zhou Wang went to Zhouzhuang Town in the Chinese textbook again.

Without the blessing of filters, it is not as beautiful as it looks in short videos. As for the so-called charm of age, this kind of thing varies from person to person, and not everyone can get it.

But when it comes to traveling, the atmosphere is enough.

Zhou Wang rented a small boat and, accompanied by Jiang Qingkui and Xu Wenxi, he spent the entire afternoon paddling in the waves of Zhouzhuang. At first, he rested his head on Xu Wenxi's thigh, then on Jiang Qingkui's thigh, and then he jumped back and forth like this, which earned him a comment of "childish" from Jiang Qingkui.

But Zhou Wang was secretly proud... because Jiang Qingkui was no longer averse to this level of intimacy. What was this?
This is the beginning of the fall!

Of course, Zhou Wang is the least anxious about Sister Qingkui.

After all, if nothing unexpected happens, she will accompany Zhou Wang for a long time.

When it was August 8, Zhou Wang finally boarded the return flight.

When he came, it was Xu Wenxi who accompanied him, but when he left, it was Jiang Qingkui and Miao Ying who replaced them. After a short rest, Xu Wenxi rushed back to the Magic City.

She also needs to continue to work for the establishment of the "Zhou Wang Charity Fund", go through those tedious procedures, and recruit some staff for the foundation.

I also took an Eastern Airlines flight back, but I didn’t meet Cheng Yiyi again this time.

At 6:10 p.m., China Eastern Airlines flight MU2985, which took off from Xi'an Shuofang Airport, landed on time at Mingcheng Changshui Airport.

Yes, I took a plane to Xi City when I came back. Who would have thought that Gusu, an industrial city with such a developed economy, didn’t have its own civil airport…

Zhou Wang was stunned when he found out.

Later I realized that it was because Gusu's geographical location was too awkward. Its airspace was completely covered by the civil airports in Shanghai and Xi'an. Considering that the distribution of airports in the Yangtze River Delta region was already extremely dense, Gusu did not build another airport.

After getting off the plane and arriving at the parking lot, the driver sent by Spring Eye was already waiting there. After handing the keys of the Audi A8L to Miao Ying, he turned around and took the subway...

In fact, Zhou Wang didn't mind him riding in the car together, but the young man might feel uncomfortable, so Zhou Wang invited him, but when he saw that the other party insisted, he didn't persuade him any more.

"Mr. Zhou, why does your sitting posture seem a little awkward?"

After getting in the car, Jiang Qingkui, who was sitting in the back seat with Zhou Wang, asked curiously.

"Maybe it's because I've gotten used to sitting in a Phantom these days. Damn, I used to think the A8L was pretty comfortable to sit in..."

Zhou Wang shook his head and smiled.

Of course, this is just a joke. After all, the A8 is not a low-end car. It’s just that after experiencing better ones, I’m a little uncomfortable with it.

Even after experiencing the comfort and convenience of riding in a Rolls-Royce every day in Hangzhou, Zhou Wang is now not interested in driving a supercar himself.

No wonder the sports cars everyone buys end up gathering dust in the garage.

After all, from the perspective of daily travel, supercars really have no advantages...

Jiang Qingkui smiled, then took out his cell phone and began to process the missed information.

After a moment, Jiang Qingkui looked up and asked Zhou Wang, "Boss Zhou, Lin Ran is ready, please see..."

"Are you ready?"

Zhou Wang took a deep breath. Since the night of Wuyou, Zhou Wang, who had not been in a stable mood, felt a little uneasy at this moment.

"Then let her send it."

"it is good."

Jiang Qingkui responded and replied to Lin Ran.

After waiting for a minute, Zhou Wang took out his mobile phone and logged into his Douyin. He saw that the first video had been sent out on his new verified account, but it was still in the "under review" status.

Soon, the video passed the machine review and showed "Published successfully".

Zhou Wang held the phone tightly and waited silently.

Although Douyin has never officially announced the details of the algorithm, according to everyone's own estimates, all newly released videos will enter an initial traffic pool of about 500 people. If the completion rate, likes, comments and other interactions meet the standards, they will be promoted to the next traffic pool of about 5000 people, and so on...

Generally speaking, the first video of each account will have a certain amount of traffic support, so the first video of the account is crucial.

Of course, you can also spend money directly to buy traffic, which is also Lin Ran’s suggestion, but was rejected by Zhou Wang.

He wanted to see what kind of data his first video could achieve without any traffic.

……

Mingcheng Yalong Real Estate Group Building, Marketing Department.

Sun Yi, who had been promoted to deputy manager of the marketing department, looked at the gloomy sky outside the window and realized that it was past the end of get off work time. She saved the plan on her computer, stretched, and leaned back in her office chair, but did not rush to get up.

It's too congested at this time. There's nothing to do when I go back. I might as well take my time...

Taking a sip of the cold milk tea on the table, Sun Yi picked up her mobile phone, opened Douyin, and started browsing.

She scrolls through videos very quickly, basically just taking a quick glance at each short video and swiping away. Unless the beginning of the video catches her immediately, she will stop and take a look.

After watching a video titled "10 Most Comfortable Postures for Girls to Make Their Boyfriends Feel Comfortable", Sun Yi swiped down and swiped to the next video. But when she saw the data of 0 likes and 0 comments on the right, Sun Yi swiped down again without thinking.

This kind of video is obviously posted by an individual and usually has no content. It is the kind that is used to fill up the large number of excellent videos. Naturally, Sun Yi has no interest in it.

Just after paddling away, Sun Yi was stunned for a moment and paddled back.

The main reason is that the name of this account is actually "Zhou Wang".

Yes, just two simple words, nothing else.

Before Sun Yi could become curious about where this Zhou Wang was from, her attention had already been attracted by the content of the video.

The video starts with a boy holding a basketball. After receiving the pass from someone, he was about to jump up and shoot with a smile on his face, but was interrupted by the ringing of a phone beside him.

The reason why Sun Yi was stunned was that this boy was actually Zhou Wang, the Zhou Wang she knew!

Just because of his makeup, the boy holding the basketball looks younger and looks like a college student.

The boy picked up the phone, and a crying female voice came from the phone:
"Son, your father was cheated and now owes hundreds of thousands of dollars. The family house has to be sold too. What are you going to do in the future?"

The boy stood there in a daze for a second, and the basketball in his hand fell to the ground. The next second, with a smooth transition, the boy changed his clothes and handed out flyers in the corridor, constantly greeting passers-by:

"Classmate, learn more about pet funeral services. If you need any help, you can contact me!"

Flyers were distributed and thrown on the ground. The boy kept picking up the flyers on the ground and smiling. Until the flyers in his hand turned into a pile of collection letters with various letterheads after the camera changed again.

The boy, whose face looked much more haggard, stared at the thick bill in his hand and lowered his head silently.

The surroundings became pitch black, with only the boy standing under the spotlight, and various tiny voices coming from all directions:
"Starting a business? Anyone can start a business!"

"Instead of studying hard, you just mess around..."

"Hey, isn't this our Caida Chen Guanxi? Why do you look so dejected?"

"Shh, be careful, he just got punished for fighting, what if he beats you up too?"

The voices gradually gathered together and turned into a noisy din. During the process, Zhou Wang's clothes kept changing, sometimes in a yellow delivery uniform, sometimes in a black vest...

Until one moment, Zhou Wang, with sweat on his forehead, suddenly looked up. The scene changed and he was sitting in an empty classroom.

Everything before seemed to be a dream. He looked around in a daze and finally calmed down. He picked up a book on the desk.

As the camera focuses, you can see the title of the book is "Growing Upward". The boy opens the title page and sees a line of words on it:

“May Zhou Wang’s future ride on the wind and waves and shine brightly every day!”

The boy was absorbed in watching the video. At this moment, a whistling sound began to be heard in the background of the video... Sun Yi recognized it as the chorus of "Years of Friendship".

The boy in the video also heard it. He put his fingers on the table, tapped them lightly, and hummed along. Unconsciously, the boy's clothes turned into a bachelor's gown for graduation.

At a certain moment, as the boy smiled, his fingers on the table paused. The next second, as the boy's fingers fell in close-up, the sound of symphony music suddenly rose, and the boy's fingers were already on the piano.

"Forget about right and wrong, reminisce about the past, and there is always fun in going through difficult times..."

The singing that ignited the whole audience started. Amid the screams of countless people, Zhou Wang, dressed in a gorgeous outfit, was already sitting on the main stage of the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center, playing the piano and singing with Zhang Shihao with great enthusiasm.

When the song ended, Zhou Wang stood in front of the stage.

"Hello everyone, I am the new supervisor of Wuyou Media... My name is Zhou Wang."

As Zhou Wang smiled, the video froze and then faded into black. A line of subtitles appeared, as if typed out:
“If fate is the worst screenwriter in the world, then please strive to be the best actor in your life.”

"I am Zhou Wang, thank you for your attention."

Sun Yi was stunned and watched the video over and over again.

The production level of this video is extremely high, and it even uses a lot of special effects, but what really touched Sun Yi was the vivid and vivid presentation of Zhou Wang's past in the video of just over one minute.

It turns out that he had such a rough experience...

Inexplicably, Sun Yi felt a little uncomfortable, and even her vision became blurred.

After a while, Sun Yi calmed down and remembered to like the video. She then quickly collected and saved it. Then, Sun Yi opened the account's personal homepage.

She hadn't noticed it just now, but now she realized that the account's avatar was indeed a photo of Zhou Wang, but it was not the current Zhou Wang, but a younger version of Zhou Wang.

It looked like the photo was taken when he was about 18 or 19 years old. He was making a silly scissors hand gesture with a bright smile on his face, revealing the vitality of a teenage boy. He was completely different from the Zhou Wang that Sun Yi knew.

There was a yellow check mark under Zhou Wang's name, and next to it was a simple three-word authentication message:

“Investors.”
