During the Spring Festival, Zeng Xinsheng, Wang Yufeng, Yu Fen, and a group of officials had secretly consulted about investing in Star Wealth Investment Company. Wang Yiren had even brought along a rather explicit hint from Boss Kan, asking if he could consult the professional opinion of Star Wealth Investment Company for his Boss Foundation.
In 1994, the national economy fell into a period of high inflation. The country took the initiative to carry out macro regulation and control. Money was stored in the bank, and if the interest could not outrun the rate of inflation, it would be equivalent to depreciating. No one was willing to see their wealth shrink. The success of Star Wealth Investment Company was no different from a ray of light in the dark. When the majority of the people were worried about the lack of investment channels, those who got rich first in Zhongyuan Province saw that at least Star Wealth Investment Company was an option. Therefore, in just over a week, the funds raised were close to the results of Yang Xing's hard work for half a year.
Everyone was extremely excited about this, and their tone was that of a high-class gold-collar. Yang Xing could only pour cold water on them first,"Others are willing to take out so much gold and silver, not for us players to drink. What they value is the reputation of our Star Wealth Investment Company. If the money we earn for others can't beat the bank interest, or even lose money, look at who will come to our door. Let me remind everyone that the contract we signed with others clearly stated that we have a guarantee agreement. If we can't earn money, we have to pay for it ourselves.”After hearing this, everyone finally sobered up.
Wang Yiren squeezed over and complained softly,"Everyone's in such high spirits. Why do you have to be such a wet blanket?"”Yang Xing smiled bitterly." I'm constantly reminding myself that I'm standing on the edge of a cliff. Shanghai Bund is a place full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. With our little wealth, if we're not careful, we won't even have a residue left. One of the four young masters of Shanghai Bund introduced by Quan Mingyao, his family's power is a huge existence that we can't understand yet. Working with him now was no different from asking a tiger for its skin.”
"Then why did you agree so readily?" Wang Yiren asked in surprise. "Borrowing power, my lady. We have stepped into someone else's territory and still want to stir up trouble. If we don't borrow the power of this local dragon, how can I become a dragon?”Wang Yiren smiled mischievously." You're borrowing everything, kid. At first, you borrowed money from Old Fifth and Fang Kai. Then, you borrowed the power of Chief Kan. In the Shang City, you borrowed Quan Mingyao's backing. Now, you want to borrow this Young Master Wang's power. I don't think you're a dragon crossing the river. You're simply a loach crossing the river.”
Everyone burst into laughter. Only Wang Yiren dared to tease Yang Xing like this. With Yang Xing's performance in the company recently, his prestige had increased day by day. Many people had forgotten his age and only paid attention to his ability. Sometimes, a dissatisfied look from him could make his subordinates panic. Only Wang Yiren was not afraid of his aura. She would tease him with words from time to time, making Yang Xing show the innocence of a freshman. The laughter made the air stewardess of China Eastern Airlines glance at him. Everyone realized that they had disturbed the other passengers and quickly shut up, allowing Yang Xing to escape the awkward situation.
After flying for more than two hours, they arrived at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. As soon as they got off the plane, they saw a large banner on the exit aisle,"Welcome to the colleagues of Xingfu Investment Company." Yang Xing and the others were shocked. Fang Kai and Fang Le went to Xia Wei's hometown in Shandong to bring her parents to the mall to settle Xia Wei's funeral. Xu Zhen, who was a Shanghai native, did not go home during the Spring Festival and was raising money everywhere in the mall. He arrived on the same plane as them today. Who knew their whereabouts so quickly?
Under the banner, a thin middle-aged man in his thirties walked over and extended his hand with deliberate enthusiasm."Welcome, everyone. I'm Wang Jianguo. I greet you on behalf of Manager Wang.”Yang Xing was somewhat prepared. He quickly extended his hand and shook it."Young Master Wang is too polite. We just contacted each other at noon, and you sent someone to pick us up so quickly. We weren't prepared. We're really embarrassed to visit empty-handed at this time.”
Wang Jianguo smiled." Manager Quan praised Mr. Yang to the heavens over the phone. He said that you're a good money boy. If we want to find big money, we'll have to count on you. How could we dare to neglect you?"”As he spoke, he led everyone to the parking area of the airport. When he saw Wang Jianguo open the door of the Toyota Lingzhi LS400, Yang Xing's eyes twitched.
The original name of the Lexus was Lingzhi, and it was officially renamed in the mainland in 2004. This was probably the most presentable luxury brand among Japanese cars. In 1992, the sales of the Lexus were better than the German double B," BMW and Benz," and it became the sales champion of luxury cars imported from the United States. Its top-of-the-line model, the LS400, had a classic commercial: On the hood of the engine, champagne glasses were stacked high one after another, forming a crystal glass tower. Even if the engine was running at full speed, the glass tower was always as stable as Mount Tai. This image was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Back then, Yang Xing loved to fantasize about the famous cars in the car magazines like ordinary young people. He had a deep impression of this car. It was just that at this time, the domestic understanding of this car was not enough. Most people only recognized the Mercedes-Benz three-pointed star logo. Yang Xing, Wang Yiren, Zha Guoqiang, and Jiang Yuxiu all boarded the car. The car was designed for Westerners, and it wasn't crowded even with four people. His men all got into the Toyota Grand Master MPV behind him, followed by a Toyota Overbearing SUV. Many people would think that this convoy was a collective move by the Shanghai company.
Yang Xing whispered to Wang Yiren,"These cars are probably worth more than three million."”Wang Yiren was also shocked. She had a new understanding of the style of these young masters. They were luxurious but not ostentatious. With just a few cars, the two of them had some expectations for this young master from Shanghai. The motorcade arrived at the entrance of the famous Peace Hotel on the Bund in Shanghai. Wang Jianguo opened the car door and Yang Xing got out first. He saw a middle-aged man with a refined face and a straight figure standing outside the car. He was wearing a Tang suit and was standing at the entrance of the hotel.
Almost without any introduction, Yang Xing walked up to him and stretched out his hand."I've long heard of Young Master Wang's elegance. Today, I finally know what it means to be one color in the river and no dust in the sky, a lonely moon in the bright sky. I'll have to take care of you from now on." Wang Yunqi only smiled and did not speak. He reached out his hand with the jade prayer beads and held Yang Xing's hand tightly.
The Shanghai Peace Hotel opened in 1929. It was formerly the Chinachem Hotel, built by the British Jewels Sassoon. Since its opening, it was one of the most luxurious hotels in old Shanghai, mainly serving the financial, business, and social celebrities from all over the world. For example, General Marshall, Leighton Stuart, Charlie Chaplin, Bernard Shaw, etc. of the United States had stayed in the hotel. After the liberation, the hotel reopened in 1956 and was named Peace Hotel. In 2000, it was officially listed as a five-star hotel. Because the hotel was very famous overseas, it was also one of the earliest foreign-related hotels after the reform. Therefore, even the doorman had a sense of pride. Zhou Libo, who was famous in Shanghai, once said in his Hai Paiqing that because the doorman was a Shanghainese, even ordinary Shanghainese could not enter. It was quite a legacy of the concession.
Apart from that, the Peace Hotel was located on the Bund of Nanjing Road. The night view of the Bund could be seen from the rooftop garden. It was across the river from the Oriental Pearl TV Tower in Shanghai. It was the best hotel in Shanghai. After everyone had settled down, they gathered in Yang Xing's room. Now, even the slowest person could tell that Young Master Wang was rich and powerful. The room in the Peace Hotel had already been prepared. Wang Yunqi had also told them that he would be the host for dinner in the Peace Hall of the hotel. His eagerness was beyond words.
Zha Guoqiang asked Yang Xing worriedly,"I've seen the real Prince Gang today. Those Japanese cars are all black plates (used by foreign emissaries and foreign companies). I heard that this Peace Hotel used to use foreign exchange certificates. I'm afraid that the price of our house is not even a few thousand yuan per night. Young Master Wang is like his own family.”
Yang Xing smiled and replied,"I'm open for business. Why would I be afraid of other people's requests?" It's good news that Young Master Wang has a favor to ask of us. We don't know anything about Shanghai, and the waters of Shanghai are very deep. With Young Master Wang's guidance, our business development can avoid many detours in the future.”Wang Yiren continued," You want to rely on Young Master Wang to enjoy the shade, but I don't understand. What do you mean by reciting a poem from the Spring River Flower Moon Night to him? I've been with you for so long, but I can't tell that you like to read books."”
Yang Xing smiled mischievously." I didn't know that Miss Wang, who I always talk about, is so familiar with Tang Shi. You trample all men under your feet every day. People have almost forgotten your identity as a talented student at the Second Foreign Language University."”The crowd held back their laughter as they watched Wang Yiren's face turn from green to red. It was a sign that she was about to flip out.
Yang Xing quickly explained," You have to pay attention to your observations. There will be many opportunities to interact with big shots in the future. As the saying goes, you have to find something that interests him. Only then will you have a common language." I noticed that Mr. Wang was a very traditional person. When he greeted us, he was not wearing an ordinary Tang suit. It was a double-breasted mandarin jacket made of Beijing Ruixiang satin. The cloth shoes on his feet were probably the cloth shoes of Beijing Neiliansheng. There was a saying in old Beijing that said,"Wearing Ma Juyuan on the head, Ruixiang on the body, Neiliansheng on the feet, and the Four Hengs around the waist is a way to show off one's status. It was just like how we felt that we could not wait to stick all the labels of the clothes on the outside when we wore Pierre Cardin clothes." It was just that her taste was higher.
This Tang suit was reserved but also different from the rest. It showed that his attainments in Chinese studies were not low. I used Zhang Ruoxu's famous line from the Spring River Flower Moonlit Night,'The river and the sky are one color without dust, and the lonely moon in the bright sky.'He was clearly praising him for being the same color as the river and the sky. Lonemoon hung high in the sky and could not even see a speck of dust. What he meant was that his light completely covered the light of us mortals. The meaning behind it was the next line of the poem,'Who by the river first sees the moon? When did the moon of the river first shine on people? Li."
After listening to his narration, everyone could not help but sigh. No matter how cunning a fox was, it could not escape a good hunter. They could do so many tricks just by meeting. In the future, it would be up to these two foxes to fight and see who would become the good hunter.
Zha Guoqiang and Wang Yiren looked at each other. They had been worried about Yang Xing before. They were afraid that he would be like many people who became famous at a young age and would become arrogant because he had no other children. However, after Yang Xing's reminder on the plane and his analysis, their worries had disappeared. A person who observed so carefully would never underestimate any opponent.
