The duck hasn't even arrived yet but Julie's mouth is already oozing with oil from eating so much.

The three babies were arranged to feed first. If the mothers didn’t feed them enough, they couldn’t expect to have a good meal.

When two steaming, greasy roast ducks were pushed in on two carts, Xiao Si, Li Zhi and Zhao Shiman immediately handed their children to the maid and sat at the table.

With the knife skills of the two masters, the two ducks were sliced ​​into thin duck meat slices.

“Look, spread out the pancake, dip the duck meat in the sauce, put onion slices and cucumber strips, roll it up, and then bite it like this. Wow~~~~~ It’s so good~~~~” Julie demonstrated to Michael, took a bite, and closed her eyes in enjoyment.

After practicing continuously at Zhang Wen's house for the past few days, Michael has been able to use chopsticks simply. He followed Julie's example and made himself a portion. After taking a bite, his eyes instantly widened.

After trying this dish that would later become popular all over the world for the first time, Michael's surprise was absolutely genuine, which made Zhang Wen laugh.

The whole family ate a total of 8 ducks, and Julie's belly was bloated from eating so much.

Just right, as an exercise to help digestion after dinner, I walked out from Qianmen Street, all the way south, passed Tiananmen Square, and entered the Forbidden City.

A place with such rich cultural heritage must be experienced by Michael and his family, who are all visiting for the first time.

The three babies were placed in a stroller and pushed. Fortunately, it was already October and the weather in the capital was neither too cold nor too hot. Except for Zhang Wu who was looking around with wide eyes, his two sisters had already fallen asleep.

Zhang Wen did not alarm the people at the museum, but bought a ticket and entered normally.

Under the guidance of the invited tour guide, this building, which represents the most glorious period of China's feudal dynasty, unveiled its mysterious veil to the public.

At Zhang Wen's request, the tour guide took everyone to the Treasure House area, which required a separate fee.

As you enter the Treasure House, the first thing that catches your eye is the exquisite Nine Dragon Wall. After hundreds of years, the nine real dragons of different colors and shapes on the wall are still lifelike and vivid.

With the tour guide's permission, everyone came forward to take a group photo. It was truly beautiful.

After passing through Huangji Gate, the two gilded lions in front of Ningshou Gate made everyone stop for a moment.

It is so exquisite, every pattern is so delicate, it is a product from hundreds of years ago and is absolutely handmade.

This also fully demonstrates how powerful China was during that period.

We moved forward again and arrived at the Huangji Hall, the main building of the Ningshou Palace.

After seeing the golden bricks, golden roof, golden pillars and golden throne in the Huangji Hall, Michael thought that this was the place where the ancient Chinese emperors held court.

But he was immediately slapped in the face, because it turned out that this was just a small palace where the emperor lived after his retirement and when he became the emperor emeritus.

“It’s incredible”

“It’s wonderful”

"my Lord"

· ·Request flowers····· ·····

"OMG"

“I’m going crazy”

Michael and Julie were like this all the way, and they didn't know what to say.

All we can say is that everything in the Forbidden City shocked them.

After everyone arrived at the exhibition hall in the side hall, even more magnificent exhibits appeared, and they could be viewed up close.

Everyone was dazzled by the various jewelry and phoenix crowns worn by the imperial concubines, the court beads, dragon robes, official uniforms, etc. worn by the emperor and his ministers.

“This exhibit is not simple.

This was the Nine Dragon Sword that Emperor Qianlong loved most during his lifetime. After disappearing for hundreds of years, it was only recently found by a patriotic businessman and donated to the museum free of charge.

It can be said that this is a real national treasure. You are lucky to come today, as it is the last day of the exhibition." The tour guide led everyone to a very large glass cover, with a military police soldier guarding each side, which can be said to be heavily protected.

..... .... .......

"Eh~~~~" Listening to the tour guide's explanation, everyone came forward to take a look, but what they saw was an extremely familiar object.

Even Michael was confused. He had also seen the Nine Dragon Sword. It was in Zhang Wen's study.

Everyone looked up at Zhang Wen in confusion.

Zhang Wen smiled at them calmly and nodded.

"Yes, it was me. I am that patriotic businessman." The meaning of Zhang Wen's nod was very clear.

Except for Michael who didn't understand what his nod meant, everyone else understood, so they didn't say anything and showed a proud smile on their faces.

Immediately afterwards, the things that had appeared in Zhang Wen's room one after another were presented here one by one.

The girls were becoming more and more frightened, including Michael.

These are several national treasures, all of which are priceless. We can just donate them.

Michael was wondering why these rare treasures, exactly the same ones, were placed in Zhang Wen’s study. Were they all imitations?

"Miss Tour Guide, I want to ask, who donated these items? Is it the same person?" Li Zhi speaks Mandarin best. Encouraged by the other girls, she asked.

Chapter 346 Preparing for the Concert

"Sorry, I really don't know about this." The tour guide said apologetically.

"Okay, stop guessing. They were all donated by me. The ones at home were 1:1 replicas given to them." Zhang Wen didn't want them to guess anymore, so he spoke directly.

"Hmph, we'll know once we guess." Ye Zimei said coldly.

"Husband, don't you feel sad?" Wang Zuxian asked curiously.

"Why should we feel sad? These are cultural treasures from China's history. Their value can only be reflected when they are in the hands of the country and displayed to the world. If they are kept in private hands, they will only be covered in dust." Zhang Wen said indifferently.

"Well said, Mr. Zhang." Suddenly, several young men in their thirties appeared out of nowhere and praised him.

"Hello, do you know me?" Looking at the people who suddenly appeared, Zhang Wen immediately greeted them.

"Haha, the richest man among the Chinese people, how can I not know him? I didn't expect to meet you here." The person who spoke was obviously the leader, with a strong Cantonese accent in his mouth.

"Oh, it seems that you are also a businessman." Zhang Wen said curiously.

"Yes, I run some electrical appliance business in Beijing. However, compared with you, it is far inferior. Haha, I won't disturb you anymore. I'm leaving first." The person who spoke had no intention of introducing himself at all. The two sides did not talk much, and the group left politely.

Looking at the person leaving, Zhang Wen had already guessed who the other person was, but since the other person had no intention of getting in touch with him, he didn't want to get too close to him.

After strolling for a while, around five o'clock, Zhang Wencai led everyone, who were still reluctant to leave but exhausted, back to the hotel.

I originally thought that everyone was too tired, so his suggestion of going to the night market in the evening would definitely not be possible.

As a result, with his slight suggestion, everyone was revived as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

The capital's night market policy has only been implemented for about three years, so it is not yet mature.

The busiest place is the Donghuamen Night Market. The most prosperous Wangfujing Street is not a pedestrian street at that time and is not open at night.

The project of transforming it into a pedestrian street was led by Zhang Wen, and several patriotic businessmen from Hong Kong jointly initiated the plan.

However, the city of Jingcheng is still studying this matter and has no clue yet.

Donghuamen Night Market was established in 1984. It starts from the north entrance of Wangfujing in the east and ends at the north entrance of Nanheyan in the west. It is more than meters long and occupies the northern half of Donghuamen Street.

There are hundreds of stalls selling grilled skewers, wontons, rice noodles, mutton soup biscuits, braised steamed buns, various cold drinks, etc. It will take some effort if you want to try them all.

But before the meal, all the ladies received disposable masks from Zhang Wenfa, otherwise they would definitely be recognized with their stunning beauty.

Besides, wearing sunglasses at night would make anyone see something fishy.

When the lights come on, the night market is crowded with people coming and going, and the strong population base is there.

Fortunately, there were guards accompanying them, so they were not dispersed.

However, such a large team as Zhang Wen still attracted the attention of others.

He had no choice but to find a private kebab stall, temporarily rent their tables, chairs and benches, and then ask the guards to buy them and eat.

When Zhang Wen was holding the braised pork and eating the steamed buns, some people came over to see his true appearance, but they were blocked by the guards and failed.

The ladies were not given any heavy-flavored food like braised pork, but the guards bought some authentic meat skewers, mutton soup biscuits, and cross-bridge rice noodles to satisfy their appetites.

At the same time, it also deepened Michael's understanding of Chinese local culture. In addition, Beijing people are hospitable and the kebab shop owner is very talkative, which made everyone feel that the trip was worthwhile.

The next day at noon, Zhang Wen took Michael and the wives to have a hot pot meal from Donglaishun, and Michael was completely conquered.

This means that every meal is different and they are all so delicious. Michael is the first superstar to be conquered by Chinese cuisine, but Brooke Stoudemire doesn't count because she is his own woman.

As night fell, the Zhang Palace became bustling again. Having a private jet was convenient. One could fly whenever they wanted, which made Michael very excited. However, after hearing about the price and annual maintenance costs, he decided to wait.

The next day, Michael started preparing for the concert, and Zhang Wen was thinking about the many concerts he had just held.

So we put several of our top artists on the performance list so that he could have a good rest.

Of course, Zhang Wen definitely gave him and his team enough money.

As for his intention to donate the concert ticket revenue to Hope Primary School, Zhang Wen did not agree. It is enough as long as the intention is there. The money of Hope Primary School is managed by Wen Foundation, which is enough.

The concert was scheduled for a weekend at the end of the month, leaving enough time for Michael to travel to Australia.

Once the 5 tickets were sold out in less than half a day.

Considering the carrying capacity of the venue, another 1 tickets were added, but they were still sold out. Just when Chen Shufen wanted to add more, Zhang Wen stopped him.

We can't use up all the popularity at once, and we also have to consider the surrounding traffic and safety of entering and leaving the venue. 6 people is already a lot.

After a week of decline, Hong Kong's stock market stabilized at 3500 points, down less than 500 points.

It is the stock market with the smallest decline in the world and also the one with the least loss.

Wall Street lost 8000 billion U.S. dollars, Japan lost 6000 billion U.S. dollars, and the wealth of the world's wealthy people has shrunk a lot, and many of them have gone bankrupt.

I heard that suicides are happening every day in the high-rise buildings on Wall Street.

In this wave of stock market crash, only Zhang Wen and Blackstone Fund made a lot of money. The two companies earned a total of nearly 150 billion US dollars. According to the distribution plan, Zhang Wen got 90 billion and Blackstone got 60 billion.

After distributing the funds to other financiers, Blackstone should still have earned more than 10 billion yuan, 40% of which will still belong to Zhang Wen.

This means that Zhang Wen made nearly 100 billion US dollars in this wave.

Blackstone's 5.5 Fund became famous overnight, and major investment institutions all extended olive branches to it.

Just as Zhang Wen expected, Hong Kong's outstanding performance this time has attracted the favor of global capital.

Although Zhang Wen contributed the most, the efforts of other Hong Kong tycoons and the authorities cannot be erased.

This also further demonstrates Hong Kong's hard power.

However, Li Zhaofu's case has been basically verified and the prosecution process for corruption has begun.

At Zhang Wen's suggestion, the Financial Secretary instructed the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and other financial institutions to begin negotiations on the establishment of a securities regulatory agency to further improve the functions of Hong Kong's stock market.

As for Zhang Wen's immortal tablet in the Stock Exchange, he had already heard about it. He didn't care too much about this weird behavior and just let him be.

Chapter 347 The Concert Ends

On Saturday, October 10, after lunch, tens of thousands of people began to gather outside the Happy Valley Jockey Club in Hong Kong.

The traffic at the scene was paralyzed and the Hong Kong police dispatched thousands of police officers to maintain order.

Wen Ji Security dispatched 3000 people, which means that except for some important positions, all the personnel of Wen Ji Security were transferred here, including some temporary employees and Lian Sheng's younger brothers.

This way, the scene can be kept in order.

In order to ease the congestion, the Jockey Club had to start checking tickets in advance.

In the VIP room of the Jockey Club, Zhang Wen's family also entered early, but Zhang Wen was nowhere to be seen.

In another VIP room, Zhang Wenzhen and several board members of the Jockey Club were drinking red wine and smoking cigars while chatting about an important matter.

"Mr. Zhang, we have already discussed it. We want 40% of the profits from the peripheral business." Xia Zhixian said with a smile.

"Haha, that's too much. You guys are asking me to do this, I don't have to do it at all." Zhang Wen said after shaking his index finger.

"Please listen to me first. We cannot control the football and boxing matches abroad.

But the horses in the Jockey Club are still very obedient. It is easy to control who wins and who loses." Xia Zhixian said confidently, shaking the red wine in his hand.

"Oh? I really don't understand this. If my horse wants to come first, can it do it?" Zhang Wen asked.

“Of course no problem. You can wait until the concert is over and then come to Toutiao.” Xia Zhixian suggested.

"Okay, if you can really do it, I can promise you." Zhang Wen nodded and agreed to the conditions.

"Great, cheers!" Xia Zhixian was overjoyed. He looked at the other directors who were equally happy and immediately raised his glass of red wine.

"Cheers. After the concert, I'll see how you perform." Zhang Wen also raised his glass.

What Zhang Wen didn't expect was that he got in touch with the behind-the-scenes staff of the Jockey Club because of a concert, but the Xia Zhixian in front of him was definitely not the big boss yet.
