Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 330 A scene
After listening to Lucas's story, Fabio didn't bother to lead the models to the stage to express his gratitude. After hurriedly giving instructions to his assistants, he followed Lucas to the jewelry exhibition area.

Because this place is almost packed with people, especially the inner circle. Tabloid reporters, upper-class socialites, and some prostitutes who sneaked into the party seeking opportunities are all trying hard to squeeze in.

As Fabio followed Lucas over, he could hear all kinds of exclamations and discussions along the way.

"China is such a magical place. I heard from my friends that there are many rich people there, but I didn't want to believe it... Oh my God, Jack, you must go and see it. That's tens of millions of Euros, and that Chinese youth spent it without even blinking an eye!"

"I've only seen such a grand occasion in the flagship store of Hermès, and it was also Chinese people who came to shop and bought almost all the clothes, but these are priceless jewels!"

"Someone posted a status on Instagram. The young Chinese man is said to be a billionaire who founded his own business..."

"Oh, a genius like Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, and so handsome, God, my butt is itchy!"

"That's hard to say, Jenna. Maybe he's just a lucky person who inherited the family fortune. You know, there are many such people in China..."

"Come on, Chris, I know you're just jealous of him. Don't worry, I won't really sleep with him... unless he raises his glass to me first, hehe!"

Fabio and Lucas, who couldn't squeeze in, had no choice but to come to the corridor on the second floor. There were much fewer people here. After all, only guests with a certain status or internal staff could enter the second floor area.

Looking down from a high place, Lucas also saw Zhou Wang, who was sitting against a jewelry display case with his hands in his pockets.

Next to him, a mixed-race shopping guide with glowing eyes was holding one packaged jewelry gift box after another and constantly confirming with Zhou Wang. Every time Zhou Wang nodded, the brand managers, who were bending over with fawning smiles on their faces, would ask the financial staff to come forward and hand over the POS machine for Zhou Wang to swipe his card.

Every time Zhou Wang paid, the brand managers would applaud and flatter him, and the shopping guides who were helping Zhou Wang pack the goods would line up like an assembly line...

At first glance, it seemed as if most of the jewelry exhibition area was revolving around Zhou Wang alone. Not many people were even paying attention to the dazzling high-end jewelry that was specially selected by the five top luxury jewelry brands.

...After all, most guests have seen people who spend a lot of money on high-end jewelry, but few have seen people who buy up all the luxury brand display cabinets as if they were shopping in a supermarket.

“It really was that week!”

After seeing Zhou Wang's face clearly, Fabio's face darkened.

Last time, because of Zhou Wang, the cooperation between Briony and Wuyou Media broke down, causing the development of Briony, which was already lukewarm, in the Chinese market to be further hindered. After Wu Nara reported to her superiors, the headquarters quickly initiated accountability procedures.

In the end, Wu Yanqiu, who had submitted the report, was blamed and had to resign from Briony...

But Fabio is not completely unscathed.

Although the headquarters didn't really do anything to him because of his identity as a senior tailor and designer, he was still criticized in an internal meeting by another senior executive who had always disliked him.

If Lucas hadn't been protecting him, he might have had his bonus for a quarter deducted.

Fabio, feeling greatly humiliated, was extremely angry and therefore bore a grudge against Wu Yanqiu and Zhou Wang. Of course, he had no way to deal with Zhou Wang, but due to his obstruction, Wu Yanqiu's resignation certificate had not been issued.

If it weren't for Zhou Wang, even if Wu Yanqiu successfully passed the interview at Wuyou Media, she would not be able to join the company smoothly from a procedural point of view.

Lucas, who was standing next to him, also narrowed his eyes slightly.

Because of that incident, he almost lost his promotion to marketing director. Although he finally got the promotion he wished for, the price he paid behind the scenes was extremely high.

So from a certain perspective, Lucas' hatred for Zhou Wang and Wu Nara is far greater than that for Fabio.

Of course, Lucas wouldn't write his likes and dislikes on his face like Fabio does... A fool like him can only be a high-end tailor in his life.

At least on the surface, Lucas still bewitched Wu Yanqiu. That woman was also ridiculous. She actually thought he treated her as a friend. So after hearing that she was coming to Paris, Lucas sent Wu Yanqiu a fake invitation letter, hoping to teach her a little lesson by humiliating her.

What surprised Lucas was that Wu Yanqiu actually entered the cocktail party. Not only that, Zhou Wang also showed up here.

"This Zhou is so rich. Those are jewels worth tens of millions of Euros..."

Fabio looked angrily at the young man who was leaning against the display case in a lazy posture, and couldn't help cursing.

"He is one of the youngest billionaires in China. It's not surprising that young people like to spend money."

Lucas said lightly.

"Why did he and Wu get invited to this cocktail party? Which brand sent the invitation?"

"Oh, Fabio, this is where things get interesting."

Lucas said playfully, "I just checked, Zhou is not on the invitation list. He must have borrowed someone else's invitation. As for Wu and the group of girls next to her, they also don't have an invitation... unless the invitation I made with Photoshop doesn't count."

"You mean, they were not eligible to enter the reception?"

Fabio suddenly became excited. "Then I'll ask the security to kick them out. God, I can't wait to see Zhou embarrassed..."

"and many more!"

But Lucas stopped him, "Fabio, is this the only low-level method of revenge you can think of?"

"Lucas, what do you mean..."

Although he felt insulted, Fabio knew that Lucas was much smarter than him, so he asked quickly.

"You've also seen the other party's financial strength. Aren't you tempted?"

Lucas chuckled, "If we can teach him a lesson and extort a large sum of money from him at the same time, Fabio, we can retire early."

"How to do it?"

Fabio was stunned for a moment, and then his breathing became rapid.

"It's definitely not enough for us to rely on ourselves. We also need an accomplice with sufficient status..."

As Lucas spoke, he turned his eyes to the side. Fabio followed his gaze and saw a young man in fancy clothes holding a bottle of wine in his left hand and a heavily made-up woman in his right hand, leaning on the fence and cursing, his tone full of jealousy.

"Damn it, these damn second-generation Chinese people, they took all the limelight at the party. My parents never allowed me to squander like this..."

"Oh, dear, he may be rich, but he's not even a tenth as charming as you are!"

The blonde woman who was hugged by the young man immediately stroked the man's waist and back, flattering him with a smile.

Fabio couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw this scene. Your eyes are almost drilling into Zhou Wang, are you kidding me?
"That's... the unpopular youngest son of the Shangmei family?"

After seeing the young man's appearance clearly, Fabio asked uncertainly.

"Yes, that's him. He's a recognized good-for-nothing who can only show off in these occasions to maintain his face. But he has an uncle who works in the police system..." Lucas said meaningfully.

……

Ding!
[The host is detected to have made a consumption behavior, successfully triggering the critical strike effect of "Infinity Blade", and receiving eight times the cashback]

Ding Dong!

“招商银行：您尾号1111的账户于09月21日04：01收入人民币831，89，208元。附言：股权转让。”

After swiping the card again, Zhou Wang couldn't help but smile when he heard the system prompt.

Finally, a high-multiplier critical hit appeared again...

The necklace from Bulgari that he is paying for now costs about 140 million euros, which is about a little over million yuan in RMB. After triggering an eight-fold critical hit, he directly earned more than million yuan.

What is profiteering?

This is huge profit!
Currently, there are nearly 10 pieces of jewelry that have not been paid for in the counters of seven luxury brands, and the balance on Zhou Wang’s bank card has reached nearly 1.5 million.

Add to that the thirty or forty pieces of high-end jewelry that he has actually acquired, with an average price of around 100 million euros, which means that Zhou Wang's "cash + jewelry" assets have rapidly expanded from the initial 7000 million to nearly 4 million.

No, there is also the pile of high-end jewelry worth 1.28 million RMB that I bought at the beginning...

With this rough calculation, it means that a profit of 5 million has been made!

Even robbing a bank is not as fast as this.

Fortunately, the system was supported, otherwise Zhou Wang’s card would have been blocked by the bank as money laundering based on the transaction volume in just two hours.

After yawning and waiting for Angel to pack another piece of jewelry and confirm it with him, Zhou Wang was about to swipe his card when suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded in the hall.

The people around turned their heads in surprise, and then there was a cry of surprise from a certain direction, and a commotion spread from that direction.

Before everyone knew what was happening, many security guards came running over. Zhou Wang, who was leaning against the glass display case, simply stood up and looked over there curiously.

Only then did he see clearly that it seemed that the glass of a jewelry display cabinet was broken. He could vaguely see that a piece of jewelry had disappeared. A young man in fancy clothes was standing next to it, cursing at the security personnel who came over.

"Hey, that's the youngest son of the Chaumet family, Ferdinand Chaumet..."

Miss Yang's voice came from the side. Zhou Wang turned around and saw that Miss Yang had also climbed up.

Facing Zhou Wang's strange gaze, Miss Yang stretched lazily: "Why are you looking at me like that? Not many people here know me. Can't I just run wild?"

Zhou Wang shook his head and smiled, then he remembered what Miss Yang had just said, and asked curiously: "Chaumet family, is it the family behind Chaumet Paris?"

"Yes, you know that many top foreign brands are family-run, and Chaumet Paris is the same. Their family should have been passed down for many generations. Before being acquired by LV, the Chaumet family still had a very high status in France..."

"Are you familiar with this Ferdinand?"

"No, but he wanted to treat me to a meal when I was shooting a fashion magazine in France. I rejected him because his lecherous look was very annoying, so I still have some impression of him."

Miss Yang explained.

"Well, it looks like the aquamarine tiara was stolen. What a pity..."

Zhou Wang watched the excitement for a while, and after roughly understanding what had happened, he couldn't help but shake his head with regret.

He was thinking of buying the set of aquamarine jewelry worth 10 million euros at the last minute and giving it to his senior as a gift...

Although it was a bit strange that a theft could happen in such an occasion, Zhou Wang didn't think much about it because he had heard that the security in Paris was very poor.

But when he turned around, he saw two "acquaintances" walking into the crowd with serious faces and negotiating with Ferdinand and the security personnel next to them. They were Lucas and Fabio whom he had met in China.

The two major organizers of today's event are Chaumet and Brioni, so Zhou Wang was not surprised that the two appeared here. He was just a little depressed.

After this incident, security personnel blocked off the entire jewelry exhibition area, and his unfinished transaction was forced to be interrupted.

Fortunately, I have made enough money. Although the props have not expired yet, I have made no loss overall.

When Zhou Wang was distracted, Miss Yang next to him suddenly poked him and said, "Zhou Wang, something doesn't seem right... What do those people want us to do?"

"Ok?"

Zhou Wang came to his senses and found that it was just as Miss Yang said. Not far away, Ferdinand, who was having a heated conversation with the security chief next to him, suddenly pointed his finger towards him.

Next to them, Lucas and Fabio also said something, and then, amid the surprised looks and whispers of the people around them, Ferdinand, Lucas and others suddenly came over with a large number of security personnel.

As soon as these security personnel arrived at the scene, under the command of Ferdinand, they separated the surrounding areas and surrounded a group of girls including Zhou Wang, Miss Yang, Miss Di, Wu Yanqiu, etc.

"Zhou Wang, what are they going to do?"

Miss Yang frowned and said in confusion, "You don't suspect that we stole the jewelry, do you?"

Miss Yang spoke in a joking tone, but Zhou Wang's expression looked a little strange. He glanced at Leo, the security chief who was standing behind Ferdinand and others with an equally confused look on his face, and then jumped off the display case.

"Mr. Zhou..."

Wu Yanqiu, who had already realized something, immediately approached with an anxious look, but before she could open her mouth, Zhou Wang waved his hand to stop her.

"Needless to say, I understand."

He was not a fool. If he didn't react at first, he would have understood something when Ferdinand, Lucas and others came over aggressively.

Although I still don't know what they want to do, seeing Lucas and Fabio, who have a grudge against me, also appear next to Ferdinand, at least one thing is clear...

It turns out that in this scene...he is the fucking protagonist!

Zhou Wang just showed an interested look when he heard Ferdinand, who was leading the way, pointing at Zhou Wang and the others and saying loudly:
"Yes, Mr. Leo, we suspect that these Chinese people are the most suspicious. You should control them immediately and wait for the police to come and deal with them!"

Leo, who still didn't quite understand the situation, asked in confusion:

"Ah, Ferdinand, you mean... let me control Mr. Zhou?"
