Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 360 Climb high and look far
at the same time.

In a private room on the third floor of a high-end private banquet restaurant called "Silver Banquet" just across the street from the Capital Building, Xue Mingyuan took a deep puff of the special branded cigarette in his hand, then put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.

Following Xue Mingyuan's action, his secretary Wan Xingyi, who had been standing behind him with his hands behind his back, quickly came up and took away the ashtray. The waitress, who was dressed coolly, also turned on the ventilation fan to dispel the smell of smoke in the room.

"I heard that one time, Qianjiang Real Estate's boss Qian hosted a banquet for Yan Lingchuan. He didn't know Yan Lingchuan couldn't smell the cigarette, so he smoked during the banquet. Not long after, Qianjiang Real Estate's project in Shanghai's Bund fell through."

Xue Mingyuan said calmly, "Old Qian realized it late and came to apologize. He stood at the door for a whole day before he saw anyone."

"Of course, the rumors are probably exaggerated to some extent, and maybe Old Qian did something else to annoy Mr. Yan, but no matter what, it's always right to pay more attention to details..."

"Boss Xue, that's right. Maybe Mr. Yan really can't smell the smoke, or maybe he's just looking for an excuse to criticize Boss Qian. But there's no need for us to offend him over such a small matter."

Wan Xingyi smiled and complimented, echoing.

"How long has Yan Lingchuan been in there?"

Xue Mingyuan looked at the Capital Building diagonally opposite and asked.

"It should be about half an hour."

Wan Xingyi glanced at the Rolex watch on his wrist and then answered.

"Half an hour... Based on Yan Lingchuan's style, he should have finished talking."

Xue Mingyuan murmured, then frowned, "Then why don't you say he hasn't come out yet?"

"This... Boss, after all, this is the club's opening ceremony. It's normal for there to be some delay, right?"

Wan Xingyi said carefully.

"That's right." Xue Mingyuan nodded, "Is everything ready in the kitchen?"

"Everything is ready. Their manager is watching over it personally. As soon as Mr. Yan comes, the food will be served immediately. I have also arranged for someone to wait at the entrance of the building to ensure that they can lead the way for Mr. Yan as soon as possible."

Wan Xingyi quickly answered. When Xue Mingyuan nodded, he suddenly remembered something and whispered:
"Oh, Boss, Mr. Lin from the restaurant just told me that he has arranged a few talented girls to entertain the dinner. They are all college graduates. One of them is from Ukraine. Take a look..."

"Push it!"

Xue Mingyuan frowned and said without thinking, "Are you familiar with Yan Lingchuan? You know what he likes and dislikes, and you dare to make random arrangements?"

"Yes, yes, then I will tell Mr. Lin right away..."

"Forget it, wait a minute."

Xue Mingyuan stopped Wan Xingyi again, "Well, you let him make the normal arrangements, but I will decide when to bring in people. If they are really not suitable, then let those girls go back."

"Yes!"

After Wan Xingyi hurriedly went to make arrangements and came back, Xue Mingyuan walked to the window again, lit a cigarette for himself, took two puffs and asked:
"Did you go to see Xiaopeng yesterday?"

Wan Xingyi was startled, and then he understood why Xue Mingyuan lit up another cigarette. He quickly winked at the waiter beside him, and after they left, he stepped forward and answered softly:

"Yes, sir, as you instructed, the lawyer accompanied me on another trip..."

"What did the lawyer say?"

"Because Xue Shao has no criminal record, there is little hope for probation. The lawyer said that he can only defend from the perspective of failure and strive for a longer sentence..."

"There's no need to talk about this nonsense."

Xue Mingyuan interrupted Wan Xingyi, took a deep breath and asked, "Just tell me, how long might Xiaopeng stay in there?"

"Two to three years, at least."

"Two or three years..."

Xue Mingyuan's forehead was covered with veins, but soon they calmed down. He was silent for a while before he spoke, "Go back and tell him to focus on his transformation. When he comes out, as long as he is really determined, I will let him run this club."

"Okay, boss, I'll remember that."

"There shouldn't be any surprises, right?"

Xue Mingyuan raised his head and looked towards the Capital Building opposite again, as if asking a question, or as if talking to himself.

"You've contacted so many people these days, and today Mr. Yan showed up, how could there be any accidents?"

Wan Xingyi immediately laughed, with a hint of disdain in his words, "At this point, this is no longer just our business. Zhou Wang is an outsider, even if he has some connection with Yunshang Trust, can he really fight against the entire Beijing circle on his own?"

"Don't say you don't allow it. Since Mr. Yan has come in person, he probably won't let this happen, right?"

……

The Barovier&Toso wing-shaped crystal chandelier, the same model as the one in the Spanish Royal Palace, shone brightly above the banquet hall. On the small stage covered with soft black carpet, Zhou Wang supported himself on the stage with both hands and leaned forward slightly.

The well-fitting suit designed by Brioni's top designer made the young man's figure look even more upright. Combined with the faint smile on his face, it attracted the attention of many female guests present.

Miss Li secretly sighed, it's true, with Zhou Wang's appearance, if he wasn't already rich enough, entering the entertainment industry should be a good way out for him.

Glancing at Miss Gu who unconsciously sat up straight next to her, Miss Li couldn't help but pinch her, reminding her not to squeeze her legs so tightly.

Miss Li actually didn't know why Zhou Wang wanted to speak on stage at this time, but she guessed that perhaps Zhou Wang wanted to leave a last bit of dignity before leaving...

There were more than one person who had the same idea as her. Even Qiu Zeyu, who naturally stood on Zhou Wang's side, although he was joking with Zhang Dashao and others, he didn't know how Zhou Wang should turn the situation around.

"Welcome everyone to the opening ceremony of Jingwang Club. Actually, my secretary originally prepared a long page of speech for me..."

As he spoke, Zhou Wang raised the speech manuscript in his hand that was full of words, and then gestured in the direction of Jiang Qingkui, "Speaking of my secretary, Ms. Jiang Qingkui, I hope everyone can remember her, because in the future, many affairs of the Jingwang Club will be handled by her."

Jiang Qingkui was suddenly attacked by Q, and was caught off guard. He could only force a smile and nodded to the people around him.

Only executives from luxury brands such as Hermès and Brioni gave warm applause, looking very supportive, while everyone else had strange expressions on their faces.

What does Zhou Wang mean? The club is about to be gone, so how can we talk about running it in the future?
Yan Lingchuan also raised his eyebrows unconsciously, but his good self-control prevented him from showing any other expression. He just smiled and looked at Zhou Wang on the stage, wanting to know whether he was really crazy or had any other plans.

"Because of an unexpected incident today, I won't read the speech."

Zhou Wang put down the manuscript in his hand and said with a smile, "Let me talk about another thing, something I originally planned to announce today when the club opens."

The guests present then realized that what Zhou Wang was about to talk about was the real purpose of his coming on stage, and they all became focused for a moment.

"Lin Ran."

Zhou Wang glanced at the assistant at the stage at this time, Lin Ran understood, and quickly inserted a USB drive into the computer.

Jiang Qingkui looked around curiously. She knew that Lin Ran had been in close contact with Qi Jiayi in recent days and was running some things for Zhou Wang, but she was busy enough herself, so she didn't pay attention to what specific things Lin Ran was handling.

Jiang Qingkui was somewhat annoyed at the moment. It seemed that he was not qualified enough as a secretary...

Although she was too busy to handle everything, looking at Zhou Wang's serious expression, it was obvious that this matter was of great importance. Unless Zhou Wang deliberately concealed it, it would be dereliction of duty for her to be completely unaware of it.

As the USB drive was inserted, the projection on the stage was turned on, and a logo designed with an artistic pattern, with a crown as the main body and the overall color of rose gold appeared on the big screen, with three large characters surrounding it below -

"The Telescope Club."

Jiang Qingkui recognized it at a glance. The rose gold pattern was very similar to the logo on Zhou Wang's exclusive business card, but...

What is the "Wangyuanhui"?
Jiang Qingkui was not the only one who was confused. Fortunately, at this time, Zhou Wang's voice also resounded in the banquet hall through the microphone.

"I registered and established a chamber of commerce based on the Jingwang Club under my name. Yes, the name of the chamber of commerce is the 'Wangyuan Club' that everyone sees now."

Zhou Wang smiled faintly, "I have placed brochures about the Chamber of Commerce under each table in advance. If you are interested, you can check it out for yourself."

The sound of tables and chairs being turned over was heard. Many people looked down curiously and found a thin booklet under the dining table. It was the introduction material of the "Wangyuan Club" with the logo printed on it.

Yan Lingchuan also picked up the manual with great interest, flipped through it briefly, and smiled with an ambiguous smile.

"Communicate information, exchange experiences, share what we have, share resources, develop collaboratively, contribute to society, and go global..."

The purpose of the "Wangyuan Club" is similar to that of every chamber of commerce organization.

But this is not the point.

The key point is the three words "Wangyuanhui", which reflect Zhou Wang's ambition.

Yan Lingchuan was already quite restrained, and some of the business leaders present couldn't help but sneer at him.

In China, there are more than thousands of chambers of commerce, a typical type of association organization. Large provinces have chambers of commerce led by official units, and each city also has chambers of commerce contacted by well-known businessmen themselves. There are also some top chambers of commerce that are completely initiated by well-known entrepreneurs and that ordinary people cannot find the entry barriers at all.

For example, in Zhejiang Province there is the Jiangnan Club founded by Jack Ma. Legend has it that the eight founding members hold the "Jiangnan Order". Once their own business encounters a crisis, once the token is issued, the other seven people must unconditionally help once.

This sounds like something out of a martial arts novel, but it actually happened in reality. Eight business tycoons gather together every year to eat a table of "jianghu dishes", which is analogous to the "martial arts conference" in the martial arts world.

Jiangnan Club is not the only one.

In Pengcheng, there is the Tongxin Club headed by Chen Hongtian; in Beidu, there is the Huaxia Entrepreneurs Club which includes a number of bigwigs such as Liuchuan Zhi, Niu Gengsheng, and Lei Jun; in the former Shandong Province, there is also the Taishan Club which has experienced ups and downs and is now disbanded.

Obviously, judging from the name Zhou Wang gave to this new chamber of commerce, Wangyuanhui is also a chamber of commerce organization of this nature.

"Climb high and look far, and maneuver in all directions."

These eight words on the Chamber of Commerce's purpose have already explained Zhou Wang's goal.

The full text of this sentence should be "Looking far from a high place, the world is vast, and you can maneuver in all directions with ease."

But...why did Zhou Wang do that?
A young man who may have achieved some success, made some achievements in business, and has a net worth of over 100 million yuan can be considered excellent, but he is far from having the appeal to form a top-level chamber of commerce. Moreover, he is setting up a chamber of commerce in a place like Beidu.

Not to mention Zhou Wang, even Yan Lingchuan didn't think he had the qualifications.

Looking at the entire business community of Beidu, I am afraid that there are not many people who have such qualifications.

The famous China Entrepreneurs Club was also established under special circumstances, and so far no president has dared to say that he has enough control over it, otherwise the position of president would not have been constantly changing.

"I know you all have a lot of questions, but don't worry. I think all your questions will disappear after I finish speaking."

Zhou Wang seemed not to hear the whispers in the banquet hall. He just waited for everyone to digest the information in the manual, then continued to smile:

"As the initiator and the first president of Wangyuan Chamber of Commerce, I have the obligation to provide the members of the Chamber of Commerce with some opportunities for development and growth, or to put it more simply, to seek benefits."

"To this end, the first thing I did after the Chamber of Commerce was registered was to reach a deep strategic partnership with Yunshang Trust."

Cloud Trust?

Upon hearing the reputation of this huge financial group that has a great reputation in certain circles, many people just showed a stunned look, and then they saw the screen jump, and then a recorded Vlog popped up.

What appeared on the screen was Wang Ruxi's serious face.

"Hello, members of Wangyuan Chamber of Commerce. I am Wang Ruxi, chairman of the Huaxia Foundation of Yunshang Trust. I solemnly declare here that Yunshang Trust Headquarters has signed an in-depth strategic cooperation agreement with Mr. Zhou Wang's Wangyuan Chamber of Commerce. The most important clause is..."

"Yunshang Trust will provide financial assistance to all members of the Chamber of Commerce based on their credit ratings. The funds are audit-free, interest-free, and start from one year. Yes, you heard it right. There are no additional conditions. As long as you join the Wangyuan Club, you can enjoy interest-free loans that are immediately credited to your account."

"The minimum loan amount is 5000 million, and the current upper limit is 10 billion. If you need more, you have to..."

No one could hear what Wang Ruxi said next because the entire banquet hall was in an uproar.

As long as there is a certain degree of recognition, no one will doubt Wang Ruxi's credibility. It just so happened that many bigwigs present had dealt with Yunshang Trust directly or indirectly.

Yunshang Trust is not well-known in China, but looking at the world, it is a giant with institutions all over the world and assets of more than one trillion...

The minimum amount is 5000 million, no review required, no additional conditions required, and the funds can be deposited immediately, and may even not need to be repaid until at least one year later?

There were so many people who were breathing rapidly, including Liao Jianli, Miss Li, Qiu Zeyu, Mr. Zhang...even Zhou Zihan's father, Zhou Tao, a big shot in the Beidu Securities field.

Given the economic situation in recent years, no company, no matter what its size, dares to say that it is not short of money.

Even if you are not short of money now, there will always be a time when you need to make ends meet.

Not to mention that the difficulty of finding a bank loan has skyrocketed nowadays. It is no longer the era when banks used to beg people for loans.

The key is that 5000 million is only the lower limit. Wang Ruxi made it clear that as long as the credit rating in the Chamber of Commerce is high enough, even 10 billion will be credited to the account in one second!
Wang Hai of CITIC Group was also stunned. Even though he had the CITIC Group behind him, he didn't dare to say that he could mobilize hundreds of millions of funds at any time. Few people in the entire CITIC Group had such ability.

This alone made everyone present speechless.

Even the smile on Yan Lingchuan's face unconsciously faded, and his expression became serious. He immediately stood up and stared at Zhou Wang on the stage.

"Boss Zhou, this kind of thing is not something you can joke about."

"Boss Yan, do you think I'm kidding?"

Zhou Wang asked calmly. Before Yan Lingchuan could say anything else, Zhou Wang smiled again and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yan. I haven't finished yet."

Yan Lingchuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and sat back down.

besides?

The noisy discussions among the crowd died down a lot at once, and they looked at Zhou Wang again, but this time, they all sat up straight and looked more focused.

"The second thing is that I plan to establish a company that focuses on pharmaceutical development with the Chamber of Commerce in the near future. The first health care drug launched by this company is what I call the 'Little Blue Bottle'."

Everyone was confused when they heard this. They really didn't understand why Zhou Wang changed the topic so quickly. One second it was "financial loans", and the next second it jumped to some stupid "drug development".

Zhou Wang seemed to be aware of everyone's confusion. He gestured to the sidelines, and accompanied by Lin Ran, a white-haired old man walked onto the stage.

There was another assistant in a white coat at the back, carefully holding a tray with some test tube medicines on it that looked like they were brought out from a laboratory, in clear blue color.

"Let me introduce you to this person next to me. He is Chen Simiao, the vice president of the Huaxia Food and Drug Inspection Institute and a full-time academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering."

"Many people may be unfamiliar with the National Institute for Drug Control. You can take a look at the introduction on the big screen. The National Institute for Drug Control is the national statutory agency and the highest technical arbitration agency for testing the quality of drugs and biological products. It is also a drug quality assurance cooperation center recognized by the World Health Organization..."

After Zhou Wang's introduction, many people looked at the white-haired old man with awe.

In front of such a respected figure, they are really just a group of "money-hungry" businessmen.

Zhou Wang also seemed very cautious, but Dean Chen was very friendly to Zhou Wang. He smiled and got rid of Zhou Wang's support, stood in front of the stage, held the microphone and said:

"Originally, it was not convenient for me to appear in such business occasions, but Xiao Zhou said that if I didn't come, he would not let me participate in the subsequent development and research of the drug. I had no choice but to sacrifice my reputation and help him stand up for himself."

When everyone was confused, Dean Chen picked up a tube of azure medicine from the table next to him and explained:
"This reagent, named 'Little Blue Bottle', which we temporarily designated as a health care drug, was sent to our hospital by Xiao Zhou a few days ago. After repeated tests, we have confirmed that this reagent contains trace amounts of a new substance that we temporarily named 'CoQ19'..."

"What's the matter?"

Almost everyone in the audience was confused. Lao Ruan looked at Qiu Zeyu blankly and said, "Brother Yu, you have a master's degree, can you explain what the dean is talking about?"

"I'm a master of literature, and this sounds like something related to science and engineering. I'm clueless... No, they said it's a new substance. Even if it's related to my major, I probably won't understand it."

Qiu Zeyu's mouth twitched and he answered in the same confused manner.

Dean Chen probably knew that no one would understand him, so he quickly changed his words:

"Well, to put it simply, this new substance can stimulate the human body to produce certain cytokines, thereby inhibiting aging."

The banquet hall suddenly became quiet.

Dean Chen thought that everyone still didn't understand, so he could only explain further: "At present, there is no drug in the world that has been scientifically proven to completely prevent or delay aging, so the emergence of this reagent is of great significance..."

In fact, there was no need for Dean Chen to explain. After they realized what was going on, more than one or two people stood up from their seats instantly.

Inhibit aging!
What the hell!

How can this be described by the four words "of great significance"?
Especially the older ones like Wang Hai and Zhou Tao, oh no, their eyes were not the most passionate, the ones whose hearts were really beating violently were the women present.

Not to mention the older Miss Li, even Miss Gu was impatiently staring with eyes wide open, wishing she could rush onto the stage and take a closer look at what the so-called "little blue bottle" was all about...

"This health care drug has no side effects according to current tests, but its specific effects still need further confirmation..."

No one could hear what Dean Chen said afterwards.

Do those still matter?

As long as this "little blue bottle" really has an anti-aging effect, even if it is very slight, there is no doubt that it will be sought after by countless people.

Every year in this field, countless wealthy people are willing to spend a lot of money just for a little psychological comfort, not to mention this kind of medicine that has been approved by authoritative organizations and is truly effective.

What a huge market this is!
Moreover, it is specialized in...

Young Master Zhang and the others swallowed their saliva, and then they understood what Zhou Wang meant by "Lucky day".

A company was established with Wangyuan Chamber of Commerce as the main body, specializing in this kind of health care product that can inhibit aging, which means that as long as you join the members of the chamber of commerce, you will have the opportunity to get a piece of the pie...

Zhou Wang played a big game this time!

Yes, this is their lucky day.

Although Zhou Wang has not yet announced the conditions for joining the Wangyuan Society, given their relationship with Zhou Wang, there is no way Zhou Wang would refuse them from boarding the big ship of the "Wangyuan Society".

"This is crazy, this is not good. I have to call Grandpa right away. I don't think I am qualified to handle such a big matter. I have to ask my dad to come and join the club in person..."

Cheng Qing came back to his senses and while shouting, he hurriedly took out his cell phone and made a call.

Tang Yiming and others reacted in the same way. Young Master Zhang wanted to scold them for losing their patience, but after hesitating for a moment, he silently took out his mobile phone and sent a message in the family group.

"@Dad@Second Uncle, I suggest you come to Beidu right away..."

An interest-free loan with a ceiling of one billion...

A new drug that can inhibit aging...

Yan Lingchuan stared at Zhou Wang on the stage, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

He looked down at the three large rose-gold characters on the manual.

"The Telescope Club."

Just a few minutes ago, he thought these three words were some kind of joke, but now...

After a brief silence, Yan Lingchuan turned his head and glanced at the transfer agreement still on the table, his eyes became extremely complicated.

There is no doubt that this transfer agreement, which carries the will of some people, has become a piece of waste paper.

As long as the news here spreads out at this moment, Zhou Wang will become the hottest new star in the entire Beijing circle in the blink of an eye.

Drive him away?
What a joke!
If Zhou Wang really wanted to leave Beidu, Yan Lingchuan didn't dare to think about how those people would grovel in order to keep him...

What a great Zhou Wang! He’s so awesome!
Yan Lingchuan smiled with a complicated look in his eyes, then picked up the agreement and tore it into pieces without saying a word.
