Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 357 Successful opening

"Brother Yuan, if you say that, wouldn't Brother Gou have offended the Xue family?"

When Young Master Zhang told everyone the news he had heard, the atmosphere in the business car suddenly became much more solemn. Tang Yiming frowned and said.

"I've met Xue Peng once before. He's quite arrogant, but their Xue family has been in decline for a long time. I don't think they can do anything to my uncle..."

When Shao Xiaoqi heard Xue Peng's name, he immediately showed disdain.

"There's a saying that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. At least in the Beidu area, the old man of the Xue family still has many old friends. A few years ago, the state-owned enterprise controlled by Xue Mingyuan collapsed, but it did not affect the Xue family. Xue Mingyuan suddenly became the chairman of a listed group, which can explain a lot of problems..."

Since he knew about the feud between Zhou Wang and the Xue family, Young Master Zhang of course spent some time to find out. He shook his head when he heard this.

"You mean the Xueren Group?"

Tang Yiming nodded slightly and said, "I have also heard people talk about this matter. It is indeed a miracle that Xue Mingyuan was able to escape unscathed in that turmoil."

"Mr. Zhang, logically speaking, your Zhang Group should be comparable to the Xueren Group, right?"

Cheng Qing couldn't help but interrupt at this time.

Originally he thought it was a tour group from the imperial capital, coming to visit his Uncle Gou… Ugh, Brother Gou was here to eat, drink and have fun, but now he’s involved in a family feud among the rich, Cheng Qing was completely confused.

Although his father is the richest man in Yi County and is well-connected in Yunnan Province, and can generally keep him safe, this is the Northern Capital, and Cheng Qing feels that he is no different from a "country bumpkin" here.

Lao Ruan also had a similar feeling. Tang Yiming was a little better. After all, his parents' work transfers were not limited to Yunnan Province, and he still knew many friends from other provinces, but his situation was not that good.

If you look closely, the only ones who have the ability, or qualifications to stir up trouble in Beidu are actually Young Master Zhang and Shao Xiaoqi.

Facing everyone's inquiring gazes, Young Master Zhang shook his head helplessly.

"Cheng Qing, you also said that it's Zhang Group, not me... In fact, in addition to my second uncle, my father also admires Zhou Wang. Although he hasn't met him yet, the current Zhang Group is not something that can be decided by the two of them. Unless it's my own business, maybe the elders will consider it."

"It's okay. If I really need it, I can just call my dad... No, I'll let my mom call and tell her it's my problem. My dad won't ignore me!"

Shao Xiaoqi gritted his teeth at this time.

Young Master Zhang looked sideways for a moment. Shao Xiaoqi's parents had divorced a long time ago, and Shao Xiaoqi had been living with his mother Luo Meiling. It was precisely because of this that Shao Xiaoqi developed a more rebellious character. Young Master Zhang also knew that Shao Xiaoqi resented his cold-blooded father who only cared about power.

But now Shao Xiaoqi is actually willing to ask his father for Zhou Wang's matter, which shows that Zhou Wang's position in Shao Xiaoqi's heart is indeed very high.

"Okay, no need to be so serious."

Young Master Zhang smiled and said, "I have only heard these things from hearsay. The real situation may only be cleared up by meeting Brother Gou. Anyway, since we are here, we will definitely stand on Zhou Wang's side unconditionally. If it is really necessary, I will also find a way to let my family take action..."

Everyone stopped chatting and started talking about Beidu's gossip, but their interest faded as they talked.

……

After nearly an hour's journey, the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle carrying Mr. Zhang and others slowly stopped downstairs of the Beidu Jingcheng Building.

A group of people got out of the car and saw from a distance the two rows of etiquette ladies standing downstairs. The red carpet extended from outside the building and spread into the lobby on the first floor.

On both sides, the ground parking spaces with the words "Exclusively for Jingwang Club" were already filled with various luxury cars with Beidu license plates, including Rolls-Royce Phantom, Maybach S680, Aston Martin DBS... and even a very rare Red Flag state gift.

"Red flag state ceremony?"

Tang Yiming was surprised when he saw the car. "There really is someone willing to spend nearly 900 million to buy this car..."

"This should be the only luxury car in the country that requires political review before purchase, right?"

Lao Ruan smiled and said, "Actually, I think this car is pretty good. If I had 900 million yuan to spare, I might buy it."

"It's a bit inferior to buy one. If you can get the Hongqi manufacturer to give you one, that would be very impressive!"

Young Master Zhang said with a smile.

"Then we don't have to count on it. What a high position this is. If a businessman can reach this level, it's not too much to call him a 'national scholar', right?"

Everyone laughed for a while, and Tang Yiming noticed the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ63 in the corner and immediately pointed in that direction.

"This car is really cool. If I had a budget of 9 million, I would definitely buy this!"

"Nine million can only buy an ordinary bull, right?"

Shao Xiaoqi smacked his lips and said, "This is a limited edition. I remember there were only two or three in China. I estimate that the price will exceed eight figures."

"There are so many awesome people in Beidu, so this kind of car shouldn't be rare, right?"

When Lao Ruan expressed his opinion, Young Master Zhang suddenly said something.

"This car belongs to Zhou Wang."

"what?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Well, it seems that the bastard only showed off to me. I called him last night and asked him what he was doing. Do you know what he told me?"

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Zhang Zhiyuan sighed, "He told me, 'I didn't do anything, I just drove my Aventador SVJ63 special edition back to my newly bought apartment in Beidu No. Courtyard.'"

"..."

Everyone was speechless, as if they were also experiencing Zhang Zhiyuan’s silence last night.

"Brother Dog is a real dog!"

"+1."

"+2."

"Damn it, why do I suddenly hope that the Xue family will give Brother Gou a hard time? Is this normal?"

"That's normal, because I think so too..."

After everyone gnashed their teeth, they followed Cui Yeqing's lead and walked into the building together.

The red carpet was laid out all the way to the dedicated elevator. Next to it was a check-in desk, and there was also a row of well-dressed etiquette ladies standing there. After the first wave of guests entered the elevator, Huang Duming, who was in charge of check-in, came up to them, bowed, and smiled:

"Good afternoon, distinguished guests. Welcome to the opening ceremony of Jingwang Club. Please show me your invitation letter!"

Do you still need to check the invitation letter?

Everyone was somewhat uncomfortable, but when they saw Young Master Zhang was the first to take out his mobile phone and show the electronic invitation, they all followed suit.

After checking the invitation letter and registering, Huang Duming gestured backwards, and the etiquette lady behind him stepped forward and handed everyone gift bags with the club's logo printed on the surface.

"This is a gift for the club's opening. President Zhou said that he hopes all guests will have a good first impression of our Jingwang Club. Please be sure to accept it!"

There is nothing unusual about souvenirs, as they are quite popular nowadays. However, what slightly surprised everyone was that the gift bag presented by the etiquette lady was not only large in size, but also quite heavy.

After getting on the special sightseeing elevator, Shao Xiaoqi couldn't resist his curiosity and was the first to open the gift bag. When he opened it, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"There are quite a few things. Let me see what my uncle has put there..."

As he spoke, Shao Xiaoqi began to take out the items one by one, and everyone who was equally curious came over.

“Bvlgari Darjeeling Tea perfume.” “Picasso fountain pen.”

"Ferrari's...underglaze red porcelain plate?"

"Wait, there's another set below. Let me see... cigarettes, Moutai liquor, Patchi chocolate, Pixiu incense holder ornaments, Jo Malone pillow fragrance spray, Jiayun fruit candy, and two boxes of customized tea..."

After everyone took a quick look, they all sighed.

Zhou Wang's dazzling array of souvenirs can't be said to be careless.

...Of course, everyone knew that the things inside were most likely selected by his subordinates, but at least Zhou Wang was willing to spend money.

Although they are all small items, including the Moutai liquor which is only in a small bottle of 100 ml, but adding all the things together, a rough calculation would still cost at least five or six thousand yuan.

Especially the box of customized tea. From everyone's perspective, they can see that this tea of ​​unknown price may be the most expensive one, because Zhou Wang will definitely not use ordinary tea to make up the number. Maybe, the value of that small box of tea alone may exceed the value of all the other things combined.

"I just took a look and the gift bags the etiquette ladies gave us were blue. There was also a red gift bag. I guess they were prepared for female guests. I was actually curious about what was in the red bag... If I had known earlier, I would have brought a female companion with me."

The sharp-eyed Tang Yiming laughed.

"That's easy. I can just ask him for one later. Judging from the situation, he has prepared at least a few hundred souvenirs... Well, if you calculate it this way, it would cost several million. Oh my god, Brother Gou is really generous!"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"The most important thing is that my uncle said in advance that he would not accept a single cent in red envelopes. This is the truth..."

Shao Xiaoqi was just sighing with emotion when he suddenly realized that everyone else in the elevator was looking at him with strange eyes. Shao Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment.

"No, why are you all looking at me?"

"Xiao Qi, you...really didn't prepare a red envelope?"

Lao Ruan asked tentatively.

"No!"

Shao Xiaoqi, who still didn't think there was anything wrong, smiled and said, "My uncle Gou has repeatedly emphasized that he doesn't accept red envelopes, so of course I didn't prepare any. But you guys can't all prepare them, right?"

"Yes."

Everyone nodded in unison.

The confused Shao Xiaoqi realized that something was wrong. He asked again in disbelief, "Really?"

"real!"

Everyone nodded in unison again, as if to make him give up. Tang Yiming and Zhou Yiquan even silently took out large red envelopes with Pikachu patterns printed on them from their trouser pockets and showed them to him.

"..."

Shao Xiaoqi looked at Cheng Qing frantically, "Cheng Qing, didn't you tell me that you don't give out red envelopes either?"

"I was just like you, I really didn't plan to give it as a gift, but before I left, the old man heard that I was going to come empty-handed, so he gave me a big bag on the spot and transferred 10 yuan to me, so I still bought one..."

Cheng Qing said embarrassedly.

"So I'm the Joker?"

Furious, Shao Xiaoqi quickly turned to Master Zhang for help, "Brother Yuan, with your foresight, you must have many red envelopes, give me one quickly, and by the way, lend me some cash..."

"There are indeed a lot of red envelopes, but there is really no cash left... You can ask Lao Ruan, I remember he brought a lot of cash."

"Bullshit, I don't have enough either. I was originally going to give 10,000, but for this gift from Brother Gou, 10,000 is definitely not enough. I have to give at least 20,000... Hey, Xiao Qi, don't search me, let me see if I have any extra!"

"Oh no, ten thousand really isn't enough. Yiquan, do you have any extra cash? Give me some more..."

After a flurry of activity, the elevator stopped on the 50th floor of the Capital Building with a ding.

"Welcome to Jingwang Club!"

When the elevator door opened, four hostesses with model-like looks and figures bowed to greet them, and Young Master Zhang and others finally saw Zhou Wang, whom they had not seen for many days.

Zhou Wang was wearing a black custom-made suit with a vest and tie of the same color. He was standing straight with his hands casually in his pockets. The diamond-studded Patek Philippe watch on his wrist could not conceal the owner's elegance at all, but instead became a foil.

Beside him, Jiang Qingkui, wearing a white classical cheongsam that showed off her perfect figure, stood quietly one body length behind him. Her elegant and cool temperament was not diminished in the slightest by the smile on her face.

In addition to Jiang Qingkui, whom Zhang Dashao and others had met, there was another mature and charming woman accompanying Zhou Wang. She was also wearing a classic cheongsam, but the color was emerald green, which was difficult for ordinary people to control. Although her appearance was not as stunning as Jiang Qingkui, she was not completely overshadowed by Jiang Qingkui. At least her figure was very good.

Zhou Wang, who had just greeted the previous group of guests, turned around and saw Mr. Zhang and others at the elevator entrance. He immediately smiled.

"Big...big brothers, long time no see!"

From the warning look in Young Master Zhang's eyes, Zhou Wang realized that if he really shouted it out, Young Master Zhang might turn against him, so Zhou Wang decided to give him face.

After all, it was a good day for the grand opening of the business, and Zhou Wang didn’t want to make things too awkward with these younger generations.

"Dog brother……"

"Dog brother!"

"uncle!"

Amidst the greetings in various tones, there was a very abrupt voice, which attracted surprised looks from several etiquette ladies.

After all, it seemed that these people were the same age as the young and handsome club owner, but I didn’t expect that there were juniors among them.

After hugging and greeting several people, Lao Ruan took the lead in taking out the red envelope from his waist and stuffed it into Zhou Wang's hand.

"Brother Gou, I came here in a hurry and I really don't know what to give you. This small red envelope is not a sign of respect..."

"Old Ruan, no, no, didn't I tell you not to do these things, just get people here and that'll be all..."

Shao Xiaoqi watched Zhou Wang frown and pinch the thickness of the red envelope without any expression. He knew that he was indeed naive...

I don’t accept red envelopes!

"This must be around 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, Lao Ruan, you're too polite!"

"No more, no less, twenty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, for the sake of good luck..."

"Brother Gou, mine is a little less, only 20,000, don't despise it, don't despise it!"

"My thirty thousand..."

Starting with Lao Ruan, everyone sent their red envelopes, most of which were in the amount of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. The funnier thing was that the red envelope sent by Shao Xiaoqi, who didn't get any cash, was empty, but he calmly said that he had transferred a big red envelope to Zhou Wang's Alipay.

"66666 yuan has been credited to my Alipay account!"

As soon as Zhou Wang opened Alipay, he heard the pleasant voice. He immediately patted Shao Xiaoqi's shoulder with emotion. He could only say that he was indeed his nephew and was very kind to his uncle.

At this time, Young Master Zhang laughed: "Okay, you little brats, we clearly agreed that everyone would get a maximum of 20,000, but now each one of you is getting more than the other..."

As he spoke, Mr. Zhang, looking helpless, also handed over his red envelope. However, to everyone's surprise, his red envelope was also very thin, as if it contained nothing.

Facing the surprised eyes of the crowd, Young Master Zhang smiled faintly: "There is a bank card inside, not much, 288,000 yuan, Brother Gou, good luck with your business!"
