Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 361 Certificate of Surrender

When he saw the reactions of the people below the stage, Zhou Wang knew that he had succeeded.

The two "baits" he threw out were actually zero cost.

Needless to say, Yunshang Trust. Although Zhou Wang could not get direct help from Wang Ruxi except for borrowing the [cigarette box], there was no problem in asking Wang Ruxi to record a short video and give a verbal promise.

As for the follow-up, once the Wangyuan Chamber of Commerce begins to enter real operation, the members who can join it will undoubtedly be approved by Zhou Wang and have a certain guarantee.

Even though the number of members increased and Zhou Wang no longer had the energy to take care of them, there was still a lot of room for maneuver.

After all, rules are made by people.

To take a step back, even if Yunshang Trust really put out a large amount of funds to support the members of the Chamber of Commerce, with Wang Ruxi's means, it is unlikely to suffer any losses.

For a relatively darker case, we can refer to the current Qiangsheng Group. Why was Liao Jianli powerless in front of Wang Ruxi? In the final analysis, it was because when the Qiangsheng Group was not yet established, Liao Jianli accepted a lot of help from Wang Ruxi.

From the very beginning, Yunshang Trust has been strangling the lifeblood of Qiangsheng Group.

The second is this "little blue bottle".

Zhou Wang certainly didn’t have the time to engage in pharmaceutical development. The source of the “little blue bottle” was the system’s mysterious shop.

……

[Life Potion: Within 24 hours, it can cure non-fatal injuries, acute diseases, inflammation, etc., relieve the pain of chronic diseases, and can slightly improve the body's physical condition after taking it]

[Exchange price: 250 reputation points]

……

This is one of the cheapest items in the mysterious shop. With Zhou Wang's current reputation value of six figures, it is naturally no pressure for him to exchange for such an item.

But the "little blue bottle" that he asked Lin Ran to send to the China Food and Drug Inspection Institute was not the original version of the life potion, but a diluted reagent. Compared with the original [Life Potion], its concentration was only about 10/1.

It’s not that Zhou Wang is stingy, but the effect of the [Life Potion] is too magical. Although it is not as exaggerated as bringing back the dead to life, it is completely inconsistent with existing scientific theorems.

Appropriate magic can be scientific discovery, but once it exceeds a certain limit, it will only bring trouble to oneself. Zhou Wang still has this sense of propriety.

The diluted [Life Potion] still has a healing effect, but the effect is no longer so exaggerated. It is probably three to five times stronger than the ordinary "Yunnan Baiyao".

But to this extent, it’s already pretty awesome.

According to Zhou Wang's original idea, he would rely on the diluted potion to develop a new type of medicine, occupy a place in the vast pharmaceutical market, and use it as capital for Wangyuan Chamber of Commerce to gather capital.

The only surprise was that the experts from the Drug Testing Institute, led by Director Chen, detected this new substance, which they temporarily named "CoQ19", in the diluted medicine.

Anti-Aging!
Even people who have no knowledge of this field know the weight of these three words.

Zhou Wang was confused at first, until he re-read the system's description of the "Life Potion", and then he felt relieved.

"Taking it can slightly improve the body's physical condition."

Everything is hidden in this sentence.

In the current scientific field of the world, humans have made some discoveries about substances that "inhibit aging", but there are almost no substances that can directly act on the human body.

Those so-called skin care products only create the illusion of moisture for the skin, but do not actually prevent the aging of the human body.

Of course, even if the potion contains such substances, the effect of inhibiting aging is not that exaggerated.

Zhou Wang asked Dean Chen carefully. According to the data recorded after several cell experiments, according to his personal speculation, perhaps long-term use of this health-care product can extend the human lifespan by three to five years?
Three to five years...

When Zhou Wang heard this, he was really shocked.

A few years may not seem like much to young people, but for middle-aged and elderly people, it is an extremely long period of time.

The first thing Zhou Wang thought about was not how much money he could make from this "little blue bottle", but if the diluted potion was so awesome, wouldn't he live at least twenty to thirty years longer if he drank a bottle of original potion from time to time?

That would be great.

Like every wealthy man, Zhou Wang also wants to live longer. After all, he can easily see the beautiful side of the world.

Of course, these are all the most optimistic speculations. Whether there are other side effects, or whether the medicine will become ineffective after excessive use, still needs further verification.

But... none of this matters anymore.

What’s more important is that this “little blue bottle” medicine will be his greatest confidence in establishing the Wangyuan Chamber of Commerce.

Whether for economic benefits or to gain the upper hand, no one, no businessman, can refuse such an opportunity.

Even though they knew that Zhou Wang was fishing, they had to pounce on him willingly and bite the hook that Zhou Wang threw out.

"Mr. Zhou, how can I join the Wangyuan Club?"

After Dean Chen finally finished speaking, there was a commotion in the audience, and someone immediately stood up and asked impatiently.

Zhou Wang took a quick look and saw that it was the president of a plastic surgery hospital. He was not very familiar with him, but he should be a cooperative client of CITIC Group. The question he asked was undoubtedly the question that everyone wanted to know at the moment.

"For the first batch of chamber of commerce members, I have proposed an invitation system, that is, only specific individuals or companies can become founding members of the Wangyuan Association."

Zhou Wang replied with a faint smile.

After hearing Zhou Wang's answer, many people showed disappointment.

What Zhou Wang said sounds nice. The so-called "invitation system" does not mean that Zhou Wang has the final say in everything, right?
If he thinks you are qualified, you will be on the list. If he thinks you are not qualified, then nothing he does can help.

However, before anyone else could raise any questions, Zhou Wang continued with a smile, "Of course, although it is an invitation-only system, there are always some basic conditions, such as... you must at least become a member of the Jingwang Club to have the basic qualifications."

"My current idea is that once the number of club members reaches a certain base, the second way to join the club will be opened, which is the recommendation system."

"For example, as long as a club member can get a joint recommendation from three or more senior members, a simple assessment process will be initiated. Once the standard is met, the member can directly join the Wangyuan Club."

All the people present who have reached their current status are foxes. When they heard Zhou Wang's words, they could smell a sense of "lots of tricks".

But just as Zhou Wang concluded... they really couldn't refuse.

"I have said all I wanted to say. On behalf of the Jingwang Club and the Wangyuan Chamber of Commerce, I would like to welcome everyone who is attending the opening ceremony today. Next, please enjoy the dinner. I hope everyone will enjoy it!"

After Zhou Wang finished speaking, he nodded slightly, then helped Dean Chen beside him off the stage.

After a brief pause, the entire audience burst into uninhibited but warm applause.

After saying goodbye to Dean Chen and instructing Huang Duming to see them off, Zhou Wangcai had just turned around when he was overwhelmed by the surging crowd.

"Mr. Zhou, hello, hello. Let me introduce myself. I am the third child of the He family. You should have met my father at home that day..."

"Mr. Zhou, I'm Jia Yang, a shareholder of Golden Dragon Fish. I think we have a lot of room for cooperation regarding this 'little blue bottle' health potion..."

"Mr. Zhou, how can I become a senior member of the club? Just tell me the amount and I'll pay the dues now!"

Amidst the chaos, Zhou Wang felt a little overwhelmed.

Although all the guests present entered with invitations, he was not familiar with every one of them. He sent invitations to some of them only at Qiu Zeyu's suggestion.

However, in Zhou Wang's impression, these people were not so enthusiastic at the time. They only agreed to attend the opening ceremony for Qiu Zeyu's sake.

Of course, everyone who can be introduced by Qiu Zeyu has a strong background, but...

What the hell is this golden arowana that suddenly appeared?

I remember that you are in the edible oil business, right? How can this be considered strategic cooperation?

Zhou Wang raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. After the noise died down, he spoke: "The fact that you have received an invitation letter means that you are already potential members of the Jingwang Club. For the procedures for becoming a member, you can consult my secretary, Ms. Jiang Qingkui, who is currently the manager of the club."

"As for the membership requirements of the Wangyuan Club, I have already made it very clear when I was on stage. The first batch of members will only be accepted by invitation. Everyone can just wait patiently..."

After Zhou Wang finished his brief speech, he squeezed out of the crowd. These guests who were not familiar with Zhou Wang had no choice but to turn around and look for Jiang Qingkui again.

Jiang Qingkui, who was staring at Zhou Wang with shining eyes, was caught off guard, but he also knew that now was not the time to be infatuated, so he quickly called Lin Ran and the recruited deputy manager of the club to help these enthusiastic guests go through the membership procedures.

Zhou Wang, who had escaped from the surrounding guests, was still the focus of the audience.

Those visitors who were more familiar with Zhou Wang only held back their pace due to momentary reserve, but once someone stood up first, the others could no longer sit still.

Zhou Wangcai had just found a place to sit down and had not had time to catch his breath when Miss Li pulled Miss Gu over.

Seeing that Miss Li directly asked Miss Gu to sit next to her, Zhou Wang looked up with a smile.

"Mr. Zhou...Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry for offending you before. It's my fault. Please forgive me."

Facing Zhou Wang's gaze, Miss Li was a little unnatural at first, but she quickly bit her lip, raised her head and looked at Zhou Wang, and said in an extremely sincere tone, "I remember a line in a TV series, what did it say... Oh, if an apology is useful, why do we need the police?"

"I know that if I just apologize verbally, it may be difficult to show my sincerity."

Miss Li didn't care about the sarcasm in Zhou Wang's words. She just continued to look at Zhou Wang earnestly. "Although what happened before was forced, I have realized that my actions were indeed a bit abrupt. If Mr. Zhou wants compensation, as long as it is within my ability, Mr. Zhou can ask for it."

"Any requests?"

Zhou Wang smiled.

"any."

Miss Li nodded, and her eyes deliberately lingered on Miss Gu next to Zhou Wang. The meaning was self-evident.

Obviously, as long as Zhou Wang wanted, he could take Miss Gu away tonight.

Miss Gu seemed to be aware of something as well. She acted a little shy and leaned slightly towards Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang couldn't help but roll his eyes. He was not a fool. Miss Gu obviously had a good impression of him. If he really wanted to sleep with Miss Gu, did he need your approval, Miss Li?
Zhou Wang, with a sense of evil, moved a little closer to Miss Li and whispered, "What if... I want you?"

Miss Li was stunned at first, but when she was sure she had heard it correctly, her chest heaved violently. Just when Zhou Wang thought she could no longer hold back and was about to have an attack, Miss Li took a deep breath and smiled again.

"Assuming Mr. Zhou is not joking, I will send you the address of the hotel in a moment."

Now it was Zhou Wang's turn to look sideways.

He exchanged glances with the serious-looking Miss Li, and it was his turn to feel uncomfortable.

...Well, I can only say that Ms. Li must have a lot of skills to have made it to where she is today in the complicated entertainment industry.

When it comes to "shamelessness", he has to admit defeat.

"Forget it, I have no interest in you."

Zhou Wang waved his hand in boredom. After all, Miss Li is no longer young.
"I see your sincerity. Let's put an end to what happened last time."

Hearing that Zhou Wang was willing to turn the page, Miss Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't wait to ask, "Then Mr. Zhou, can our Hesong Media join the Wangyuan Club?"

From her burning eyes, Zhou Wang knew what she wanted. In fact, especially among women, no one could resist the temptation of the "little blue bottle".

Zhou Wang had no doubt that someone like Miss Li, in particular, would probably be willing to go bankrupt in exchange for even a moment of eternal youth.

“Is it too early to say this now?”

"Mr. Zhou, Hermès..."

Miss Li still refused to give up, thinking that she would gain something in the end.

After Zhou Wang dropped two bombshells in succession, giving Miss Li a completely new understanding of him, Miss Li had vaguely realized that the power behind Zhou Wang might be beyond her imagination.

The endorsement of Yunshang Trust alone is far beyond the reach of ordinary billionaires.

With this association, it was definitely not a coincidence that these luxury executives attended the event together. She realized later that Zhou Wang might really have the ability to influence who would be the spokesperson for Hermès.

Zhou Wang was really getting impatient now. He glanced at Miss Li and frowned slightly, "Miss Li, enough is enough."

From Zhou Wang's indifferent tone, Miss Li realized that she was a little anxious. She quickly smiled again, "Sorry, Mr. Zhou, I won't bother you for now. I'll find a suitable time to contact you later... Well, Nazha, you stay with Mr. Zhou for a while. I'm going to the bathroom first."

Seeing that Miss Li finally understood the situation, Zhou Wang yawned and did not chase Miss Gu away. After all, Jiang Qingkui and others were busy, and he really needed someone to help pour wine.

Sure enough, after Miss Li left, other guests also started to move around. No matter whether they had a friendship with Zhou Wang before or not, they all came over and chatted with him for three to five minutes.

Smart people like Wang Hai, Zhou Tao and other big guys would not mention anything about it in their words, but simply used toasts to maintain their relationship with Zhou Wang.

They all knew very well that the so-called "invitation list" was entirely decided by Zhou Wang, and the other party would definitely not reveal anything at this time. You have to know that the news here has not yet spread, and the real excitement has not yet begun. "Zhou Wang stock" still has a broad room for growth. If they were Zhou Wang, they would not choose to cash out at this time.

There were also some not-so-smart ones, like Jiang Yisen, who sat down and smiled awkwardly:
"Well, Zhou Wang, let me make it clear first, this glass of wine is what my brother asked me to toast you..."

"Your brother?"

Zhou Wang glanced at him and said, "Is your brother also involved in this matter?"

"Hey, how did you know..."

Facing Zhou Wang's amused gaze, Jiang Yisen quickly covered his mouth, but he probably knew that it was too late to remedy the situation. The key point was that his brother had never taught him how to deal with this situation.

After Jiang Yisen escaped by urinating, Qiu Zeyu and others finally found an opportunity to talk to Zhou Wang.

"No, I know what you want to say, but it's not necessary between us. Don't worry, you will definitely be on the first list."

Before Qiu Zeyu and Zhang Dashao, who looked a little unnatural, could speak, Zhou Wang had already blocked their mouths.

Qiu Zeyu and Zhang Dashao immediately relaxed a lot. Tang Yiming laughed at this time: "I told you, there is no way that Brother Gou would let you have any chance to be embarrassed. You are just restrained because the interests involved are too great..."

"That's right, my uncle is such a big shot, this little profit is nothing!"

Shao Xiaoqi quickly agreed.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. Don't think that I am letting you join the club unconditionally!"

Zhou Wang immediately said seriously: "You should at least pay ten years of membership dues first!"

"That's no problem, I'll pay for twenty years!"

"I'll pay you fifty years..."

"Is there a lifetime membership? I'll get one right away!"

Everyone laughed for a while, and Qiu Zeyu's eyes showed a hint of emotion.

He didn't know whether other people realized it or not, but after today, Zhou Wang's status in the Beijing circle would surely increase dramatically. It was actually a very rare thing that Zhou Wang could still maintain his previous attitude at this time.

When Zhou Wang heard that they had actually called his grandfather, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but since the matter was done, he didn't pretend to say that it was unnecessary.

After chatting with Qiu Zeyu and others, Yan Lingchuan took the initiative to come over and sit down next to Zhou Wang.

"Boss Zhou's move was indeed unexpected."

Yan Lingchuan smiled and said, "You are awesome."

"I don't think I need to close the door?"

Zhou Wang also smiled, then took out a cigarette and lit it.

The smoke sprayed in front of Yan Lingchuan. He frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure.

"Mr. Zhou, you're joking. If necessary, I can even provide you with some convenience."

Yan Lingchuan said seriously, not caring about the sarcasm in Zhou Wang's words.

"Then, Mr. Yan, have you ever thought that I don't have to open this club in Beidu? I can open it in Shanghai, Guangzhou, or even Hong Kong. I think I still have many good options..."

Zhou Wang smiled faintly.

Yan Lingchuan's expression faltered slightly. He looked up at Zhou Wang, and after a brief silence, he said, "What does Mr. Zhou want?"

"Why did Mr. Yan come here today?"

When Zhou Wang asked back with a smile, Yan Lingchuan already understood.

"Xue Mingyuan is nothing, but the old man of the Xue family has many old friends in Beidu. The family power is intertwined, and the Xue Ren Group has also been listed. There are more than just the Xue family involved behind the scenes..."

"If this is not the case, how can you demonstrate your sincerity?"

Zhou Wang's smile faded.

Yan Lingchuan was silent again.

Zhou Wang’s meaning was very clear.

This is a petition.

A letter of allegiance that no one in the entire Beijing circle would refuse.

Who would care about the Xue family in the face of greater interests?
"Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call."

Yan Lingchuan finally nodded and stood up. "But this time, I may really need President Zhou to provide a quiet place."
