Compared to the traditional wealthy families in the port area, the gifts from Wang Jianlin, Brother Ma, and Jack Ma, who were new forces in the mainland, were not presentable.
After all, Brony and Jack Ma's current income depended on management salaries.
This was because the company had not yet started to distribute dividends on a large scale.
Of course, in Gao Ren's eyes, the gifts weren't important. Since they were here and had specially prepared for today's birthday banquet, they were all guests.
He also wrote calligraphy and paintings for these juniors.
He had successfully written a 'success' for Wang Jianlin!
Wang Jianlin liked it very much. Compared to the other two, his net worth must be much higher. He specially hired the best framing carpenter to inscribe gold and hung the word on the back of his Wanda chairman's desk.
Every time he was depressed and powerless, seeing this painting would give him unlimited motivation!
It also laid a solid foundation for his tenacious character.
It was not until the later Dragon Vision's variety show," A Day of Celebrity Travel," that the host, Lu Yu, revealed the office and collection of the richest man for the first time.
She admired the countless famous paintings and cultural relics in the office and asked curiously,"Which is the most expensive painting here?”
At that time, Wang Jianlin, who was publicly known as the richest man in the Dragon People, pointed at the black and white " Success " behind him and said,""This word is the most expensive."
Lu Yu looked at the calligraphy in surprise.
Other than the frame being inlaid with pure gold, there was only one word that stood out.
However, there was no seal that could represent the hand of a famous person.
"Whose work is this?" she asked, puzzled.”
Wang Jianlin looked at the words and said eagerly,""A gift from an elder."
Lu Yu suddenly understood." I was wondering why a calligraphy without any label would be so expensive in your heart. So it was a gift from an elder." Actually, what I mean is, if we don't consider family ties, in terms of market value here, it should be that painting of "Two Children" by picador, right? I heard that it was bought at the auction house for 172 million. I didn't expect it to be with you.”
"That oil painting isn't as expensive as my [Cheng] calligraphy painting."”
Seeing that the host was puzzled, Wang Muxiang smiled and explained,"Let me put it this way. This elder's calligraphy currently does not exceed 30 pieces in the world, and each piece only has one word! "Moreover, the characters are not the same. The word 'Cheng' is with me. There's only one in the world. Many businessmen want to exchange it with me, but I didn't. Let me tell you this. If I want to sell this word, the starting bid will be 2 billion! The richest man in the harbor offered me 5 billion to buy it, but I didn't agree.”
"Is it that exaggerated?" A single word can be sold for this price?"
Wang Muxiang smiled." The other characters are definitely not as exaggerated. However, the other characters of the old gentleman are worth at least one billion. However, my 'success' character means success. Many businessmen are especially particular about it, so they are eyeing my character and hyping it.”
"How much did you spend to buy it?"”
Wang Muxiang remembered the birthday banquet that night and grinned.""I didn't spend any money. When I was celebrating the old man's birthday, he was happy and gave it to me.”
"Then can you reveal who this old gentleman is?" The host asked curiously. I know all the famous Chinese masters, such as Master Guanzhong, Master Shi Qi, etc. If you want to tell me his name, I should know.”
Wang Muxiang smiled." I can't say. Even if I say it, your program won't be broadcasted. Moreover, our conversation might be cut off by your station head."”
The host did not believe it.
One had to know that she was backed by the Dragon Country's television.
It belonged to the country's top satellite television organization.
Generally speaking, interviews had special privileges.
Otherwise," Big Shot " wouldn't have been able to invite so many big shots and even give her face by going to the company to explore and publicize the secret.
If it were any other host, they wouldn't be so confident. They wouldn't even specially take out their schedule to cooperate with you.
In fact, it was just as Wang Muxiang had said. When the general manager edited this scene, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The host asked Wang Xiang about his 'elder' but he cut off the part.
Then, he glared at the host and reprimanded,"Don't blindly ask who this elder is!"
Is this elder someone you can casually mention through television programs?
It was simply impolite.
Back then, any one of the people who received the calligraphy and paintings from the elders could have killed the general manager.
After the show was broadcast, the word 'success' was only briefly mentioned.
He did not mention anything more about the elders.
However, Wang Jianlin's words, which were more expensive than the calligraphy and painting of Two Children, still triggered a heated discussion among netizens.
She felt that Mogul Wang was exaggerating and acting a little.
This pretentious aura was even thicker than 'setting a small goal first'.
Seeing that the netizens did not care about it, they did not believe that the calligraphy and painting was worth it.
For a time, many of the auction house's verified accounts in the country appeared to slap the faces of the netizens.
The top ten auction houses in the world supported the word 'Cheng'!
One after another, they left comments saying,"If CEO Wang sells it, I don't dare to say 5 billion, but our company will definitely sell it to 3 billion!"
Even Li Jiacheng's eldest son said,""Yes, if CEO Wang is willing to sell, my dad's offer will always be valid!”
Interestingly, this program had attracted a lot of attention. While the other hosts were envious of Lu Yu, the higher-ups said to the host, The viewership ratings were very high, but there was no point in doing so!
In the end, the television station still decided to stop this program!
Lu Yu finally realized how much pressure the higher-ups were under.
Of course, this was all for the future.

After the birthday banquet ended.
The Gao family's children did not interfere with Gao Ren and Chen Shuting's lives, so they did not spend the night in the courtyard.
Gao Yuliang went to Ruyan Nie's house.
Gao Mingyuan brought his wife and siblings to his villa in Shangjing.
That night, Gao Qiqiang went straight to the second round.
Coincidentally, the gambling king's daughter also went.
Gao Qiqiang also let her be and treated it as a host. He brought a few of his second-generation friends to the bar to play.
It was just that everyone drank too much that night.
In addition, Miss He was not in a good mood after being reprimanded by her father, so she drank a little too much.
then...
The next day, when Gao Mingyuan asked why Gao Qiqiang didn't come back, he found out that this guy had slept outside last night.
The awkward thing was…
The Gambling King had been looking for his daughter since the morning.
Because he had fallen asleep last night, he thought that his daughter and Gao Qiqiang had gone out and might come back a little late, so he did not wait for her.
In the end, he didn't return!
Seeing how anxious he was to find someone, the Gao family would definitely ask.
Then, she found out that the two of them had drunk too much last night and were together!
Gao Qiqiang stared blankly at the ceiling as he looked at Miss He who was hugging him.
Miss He was actually awake with a smile on her face. Seeing his dazed look, she said,"If you're not mentally prepared, I can explain to my family.”
"Although you took the initiative, it's okay.”
Gao Qi took a deep breath.
She turned around and looked at Miss He.
She was embarrassed.
"I'm tired. Sleep a little longer." Gao Qiqiang rubbed her hair.
Miss He smiled.
There was a deeper meaning in his words.
Their foreheads touched gently and they both fell asleep.
At noon, the Gambling King did not wait for his daughter to come back.
This was because Miss He was led by Gao Qi to Gao Ren's courtyard house.
"Dad, this is my girlfriend."
Gao Ren was having dinner with Chen Shuting. When he saw his usually unruly third son, he asked him,"Are you done playing?"
There were many meanings to these words.
Gao Qi understood.
"I've played enough."
"What's next?" Gao Ren nodded.”
Gao Qiqiang looked at Miss He who was standing beside him and said,""I want to marry Little Yu."
After saying that.
The two of them were very nervous.
Especially He Xinyu, because it was one thing for Gao Qi to rape his partner, but to marry into the Gao family, Gao Ren had to agree and be satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
Gao Ren held his bowl and lowered his head to eat his rice. He was busy chewing the food in his mouth without saying a word.
"Dad, I'm serious." Gao Qi emphasized.
But there was still no response.
He couldn't help but look at Chen Shuting and winked at her, hoping that she would say something.
After all, Second Brother had asked Auntie Chen for help back then.
He knew that he had played a little too much in the past three years and might not be as popular with his father as his eldest and second brothers, so he was in the wrong to ask his father's opinion at this time.
Chen Shuting didn't like to interrupt when she was eating.
You have to wait for the old master to take the initiative to speak. Otherwise, if you start talking, he will be very unhappy.
Therefore, this was not the time to help.
She only tried her best to help the old man by putting food in his bowl to offset the storm in his heart.
After Gao Ren finished chewing the food, he swallowed it.
Then she looked up and asked He Xinyu,"Have you eaten?"”
He Xinyu shook her head.”
"Give the child a pair of chopsticks," Gao Ren said to Chen Shuting.”
“欸。”Chen Shuting smiled and went to the kitchen to take out the bowls and chopsticks.
She took the bowls and chopsticks for two people and handed them to Gao Qiqiang and He Xinyu.
The two of them obediently sat down to eat with Gao Ren.
He didn't say a word.
He Xinyu was so nervous that she didn't dare to pick up the food herself.
After Gao Ren finished eating, he put down his chopsticks and said,""You guys go ahead. I still have to go take a look at the railway project later.”
Then, Gao Ren went to his room to get his coat.
Chen Shuting looked at He Xinyu and asked,"Can you stand the Gao family's eating habits and atmosphere?”
He Xinyu did not react in time and immediately nodded.""I can take it. It's about the same as my family.”
Chen Shuting smiled and nodded.
At this moment, Gao Ren came out with a coat. Tang Xiaolong came over to put it on him and handed him a walking stick.
The car was ready outside.
Before Gao Ren left, he said to Chen Shuting,"Take the child to Old He and discuss the matter.”
"Alright, Old Master." Chen Shuting smiled.”
Gao Qi Qiang and He Xin Yu stood up in joy,""Dad, take care."
(PS: I checked the few daughters of the He family. Their age and looks don't match Brother Qiang's. I can only make up one. Haha, you don't have to take it personally.)）
