The Company's Stockholders
He was now a shareholder of Pola Clothing Company. Other than the money he repaid Zhou Changde, he still had 880,000 shares. After deducting 520,000 shares, he still had 360,000 shares.
Wu Ze himself did not know how much he had left. He had originally thought that it would be fine as long as he had enough shares.
Wu Ze did not dare to be negligent as he suddenly recalled that the auction of the ancient painting would be held tomorrow. He exchanged a few pleasantries with the Zhou family before he and Liu Dongmei received the money and headed to the West Street's Gui Lin Xuan together.
At this moment, Zhang Guilin and He Chang Zai were drinking tea and playing chess on the second floor of Gui Lin Xuan. Blackie was surrounded so tightly that not even water could pass through. There was no possibility of him surviving.
Zhang Guilin put down a black stone in his hand and sighed."Brother He's chess skills are really getting better and better by the day. Originally, we could have played 40 - 60, but who knew that we would end up in such a miserable state.”
He Chang Zai shook his head and put down the white chess piece in his hand. He said in a deep voice,"Brother Zhang, you don't have the mood to play chess at all. Are you afraid that the kid will come back to take the painting, so you lost?”
"Know yourself and know your enemy.”Zhang Guilin forced a smile. He looked out of the window and prayed in his heart. He was really interested in the Painting of the Winds of the Pine Valley. Back then, he had racked his brains but could not find it. Now, he had to keep thinking about being bought by someone. This feeling was really terrible.
However, since he had already agreed, and he was a man of his word, he could only pray in his heart that Wu Ze would not appear.
He Chang Zai said," Brother Zhang, don't be anxious. He's only a 18 or 19 year old youth. It's only been a week. How could he have so much money? Even if a poor family couldn't earn that much in their entire lives, it's impossible for him to earn that much money in such a short period of time.”
"This is not impossible. Brother He, don't underestimate that young man. He was able to see through the mystery of this painting with a single glance and was even able to take out this painting. It can be seen that his vision is definitely not something that ordinary people can compare to.”
"He's still a little brat after all." He Changzai shook his head and said,"He has no connections and no background. How could he take out so much money in such a short time?"”He did not have much hope for Wu Ze.
" There's nothing absolute in this world. I'm sure Brother He has heard about it. This stock has made a name for itself in the stock market. From the opening price of 8 yuan to the closing price now, it has actually reached 50 yuan." Zhang Guilin's expression changed as if he had thought of something, and a trace of joy appeared on his face.
He Chang Zai did not believe that Wu Ze would start investing in stocks at such a young age. Even for people like them who were experienced and knowledgeable, they did not have full confidence in winning. When he mentioned Dongfang chemical, he even regretted not buying it earlier.
"Boss, Wu Ze is here."
Zhang Guilin's eyes widened. The two of them looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. He never thought that this guy would actually appear here.
Zhang Guilin asked carefully,"Did he bring anything?"”
"He's carrying a suitcase. It's similar to the one I took last time.”
Zhang Guilin sighed. He knew that this guy was here to buy a painting. He had a helpless expression on his face and said,"Speak of the devil. Call him over.”
Soon, Wu Ze and Liu Dongmei followed the shop assistant up to the second floor.
"Mr. Zhang, it's all thanks to your generous help just now. Wu Ze is extremely grateful. Wu Ze walked over and thanked him sincerely. This was not a courtesy, but a sincere thanks. If it wasn't for Zhang Guilin, he wouldn't have earned so much money.
Zhang Guilin sighed and revealed a bitter smile."I've been praying to the heavens not to let you come these past few days, but you just had to come.”He walked to a corner on the second floor and took out a painting. A trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes as he muttered to himself,"Looks like I have no other choice."
Seeing Zhang Guilin's reluctant expression, Wu Ze had the urge to betray him. However, it was only for a moment before his rationality prevailed.
Wu Zezai took the painting and examined it carefully. After confirming that it was real, he placed the briefcase on the table and said,"There's 120,000 yuan in here. The remaining 20,000 yuan is a small token of appreciation from Mr. Zhang.”
Wu Ze did not feel any heartache at all. This was human nature.
"You've been watching me for a few days. There's no need to be polite with me.”Zhang Guilin did not stand on ceremony and directly accepted it.
Seeing that the other party did not reject him, Wu Ze felt relieved. He felt that the 20,000 yuan was worth it. Zhang Guilin had been in West Street for many years. He definitely knew more about some things than Wu Ze. He wanted to build a good relationship with Zhang Guilin. Although it would not be useful immediately, it could also be used to preserve his connections in the future.
Having money was a good thing. Soon, the two of them were chatting enthusiastically. They also started to call each other Brother Wu and Brother Zhang.
He Chang Zai looked at Wu Ze with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He did not know how this young man earned so much money, and he did not know how he did it, especially when he used 20,000 yuan to maintain his connections.
Twenty thousand, how terrifying was that?
In this day and age, Zhang Guilin's jewelry store had a monthly turnover of 20,000 yuan, which was equivalent to the annual turnover of a small restaurant.
It was only now that he truly took this youth in his eyes.
When Wu Ze saw He Chang Zai's gaze fall on him, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, but he still revealed a friendly smile. He Chang Zai saw the change in his expression and looked away in embarrassment. He muttered in his heart, I don't have such a hobby. I hope this guy won't overthink it.
"Brother Wu, can you tell me where you got this money from?”Zhang Guilin couldn't help but ask before he left.
"Dongfang chemical, didn't you buy this stock?" Wu Ze said matter-of-factly.”
The two of them sighed. It was obvious that they had missed the best opportunity. Wu Ze was also advising them not to buy anymore.
He would return to school at six o'clock in the evening.
As soon as they entered the dormitory, Liu Dongmei couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart. She hugged Wu Ze's neck and shouted,"Wu Ze, we have money now. You're so nice. I almost suffocated just now, but now I can finally talk properly. Ahhhh, I never dreamed that I would have such a large sum of money. You're really my idol.”
As he spoke, he picked up the passbook. The few zeros inside dazzled him.
Wu Ze chuckled." It's only a few dollars, and you're already dazzled. This is just the beginning. The money will only get more and more."”
"Really?" Liu Dongmei stared at him with her big, watery eyes. Before Wu Ze could say anything, she frowned and lowered her voice."When you become rich in the future, you will definitely have many women by your side. Do you still want me?”
Wu Ze stretched out a finger and tapped her nose. He smiled and said,"Silly girl, what era are we in? It's a big crime to have three wives and four concubines. If you don't mind, I can secretly marry a few more.”
"Asking for a beating." Liu Dongmei's fair hands hammered his chest.
Now that he had obtained shares in Zhou Changde's factory, Wu Ze went from being poor at the beginning to not having to worry about food and clothing.
That was impossible.
However, living such a life was not enough to satisfy Wu Ze's desires. Next up was Hong Kong to promote his acting career.
In the evening, Zhou Changde invited them to Taibai Restaurant for dinner. Liu Mei and Bai Hong were old acquaintances, and they had been seeing each other frequently recently. Bai Hong's opinion of Wu Ze had changed drastically, while Zhou Houming admired him as his master through Dongfang Chemistry. At the same time, he was secretly praising his father's foresight, which allowed him to befriend such a peerless expert.
The meal was lively and harmonious. It was no longer the feeling of accidentally going off.
Zhou Houming raised his glass and toasted Wu Ze.""Master, this disciple is young and ignorant, and often offends master. Please forgive me, master. Today, this disciple will punish himself by drinking three cups to express his sincerity.”
Wu Ze also downed the wine in one gulp and said mockingly,"Alright, since you took the initiative to apologize today, I won't hold it against you. I originally planned to settle the score with you when I returned to Hong Kong.”
Everyone laughed.
Even Liu Mei laughed." Houming, you're really a person who knows how to be blessed. Consider it an apology tonight. Otherwise, you'll have to suffer a lot along the way."”
Zhou Houming chuckled, completely forgetting that Wu Ze was about the same age as him.
At this moment, Bai Hong, who was standing beside Zhou Changde, had a complicated expression on her face. She looked at Wu Ze from time to time, wanting to say something but hesitating. She did not know what to do with the wine glass in her hand.
Wu Ze's eyes were sharp and he had already noticed Bai Hong, who was standing at the side hesitating. Seeing that he had not left, he smiled and raised his wine glass. He said to Bai Hong,"Factory Manager Bai!"
When Bai Hong said this, she saw that Wu Ze actually took the initiative to raise his glass. She could not care less and quickly stood up."Mr. Wu, please take a seat. This is what I deserve. I didn't expect to have to trouble you.”
"Today is a joyous day. Let's forget about the unpleasantness of the past and let it go with the wind.”Wu Ze said casually.
"Then I'll have a drink. In the future, I'll definitely listen to the factory's instructions and make greater contributions to the factory.”Wu Ze's magnanimity impressed him. He poured himself a cup and downed it in one gulp.
"We're all part of the factory. We were and still are. Zhou Changde raised his wine cup and downed it in one gulp.
Everyone raised their glasses.
