Note that this book is a slow-burn novel, and it will become increasingly exciting as the story progresses.
It starts from 2002, beginning at the Beijing Film Academy, and starting with the H...
"Xiao Ming, Xiao Bo, all the big shots are here today. You better perform well. President Shen brought you and Huang Bo here today, which is a real opportunity for you."
Huang Xiaoming took a deep breath and looked at the group of big shots he could only see on TV chatting and laughing with his boss not far away: "Understood, Brother Bin, I will definitely perform well."
"How's my horse farm? Not bad, right? We're going to keep building it up and eventually make it the biggest, best, most luxurious, and most complete horse farm in the country. Come and play whenever you have time. Bin, bring me your membership card." Shen Fang waved to Huang Bin, who quickly ran over.
Although Huang Bin is still the manager of artists at Longteng, his main task now is to act as Chen Fang's chief steward. He is considered a confidant.
Huang Bin distributed the membership cards that Shen Fang had made to everyone.
Duan Yongping took the card, which was a golden card with a five-clawed dragon on it. The words "Dragon and Phoenix in Flight" were written on it in a very elegant and graceful style.
"This card can be used for free at Longteng Racecourse, my clubhouse Tan Palace, and all future Longteng facilities. It's a welcome gift for all the members here today."
Ding Sanshi took it and chuckled, "Then I'll just stay here for the whole year."
Shen Fang shrugged: "I don't mind. As long as you have the time, go ahead and do whatever you want."
Lei Jun gave a thumbs up: "President Shen, that's impressive!"
Chen Tianqiao smiled: "I didn't come over, but riding a horse was indeed quite nice. Thank you, President Chen."
Shen Fang waved his hand: "From now on, just call me Lao Shen. Calling me President Shen is too formal."
"Old Shen? You're too old for that. Calling me Old Ren would be more appropriate," Ren Zhengfei laughed.
"At my age, you call me Old Wang?"
Huang Fulai laughed as he looked at Wang Jianlin: "Old Wang from next door?"
Wang Jianlin was brought over by Huang Fulai. Both of them were involved in real estate in Shanghai. Wanda also wanted to join the Shanghai real estate circle. They met frequently and became friends.
There were also two newcomers: Cao Weiguo from Sina Blog, who was brought in by Robin Li, and Yu Minhong, the founder of New Oriental. Shen Fang was quite surprised when he saw the three; suddenly, the club had gained three more big names, making it even more influential.
"I've heard about President Shen for a long time, but I've never had the chance to meet him. I didn't expect him to be so young. He's truly an outstanding person. I wish my son could be like him. I would be satisfied if my son had even one-tenth of President Shen's abilities." Wang Jianlin couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Shen Fang, who had built such a large business at such a young age.
I wish my son could be like that.
While buying breakfast for his girlfriend on the other side of the ocean, Wang Sicong sneezed. "Who's thinking about me?" Wang Sicong shook his head. "Never mind, buying breakfast for my darling is more important."
At this time, Young Master Wang was still a pure-hearted warrior, a simp-like figure.
Shen Fang chuckled inwardly. "Your silly son isn't bad either. He's a bit playful, but he does have some skills. However, he can't compare to me. I'm the protagonist written by the author!!!"
"President Shen, the ceremony preparations are almost complete. What do you think?" Huang Bin said as he walked over.
Shen Fang nodded and led everyone to the ceremony center at Longteng Horse Ranch.
The venue in the center was decorated in a magnificent gold and silver style, with a red carpet laid out on the side and two rows of waitresses in high heels, black stockings, and cheongsams standing by, each carrying a tray.
Shen Fang set an example by taking a red scarf from the tray of the waitress in front of him and tying it around his neck.
Behind them, Pony Ma, Ding Lei, Ren Zhengfei, Lei Jun, Duan Yongping, Luo Yonghao, Zeng Liqing, Zhang Zhidong, Xu Chenhua, Chen Yidan, Chen Jinfei, Huang Fulai, Ye Daying, Wang Ershao, Liu Qiangdong, Shen Wei, Jin Zhijiang, Li Yanhong, Yu Minhong, Cao Weiguo, Lu Jinbo, Wang Jianlin, and Shen Kun, a total of 24 people, all wore red scarves.
Shen Fang smiled and said, "The main idea of our club is to do something meaningful, to revitalize China's economy, and to build a national enterprise that makes our people proud... We get together from time to time to exchange ideas, help each other when we encounter difficulties, and we will all be good friends in the future. We can't refuse to help each other when needed."
Shen Fang picked up the wine glass brought by the waiter, and the remaining 23 bigwigs raised their glasses together.
"Done!!!"
The 24 people toasted together.
Afterwards, Ning Hao, whom Shen Fang had specially invited, took a group photo of the 24 big shots wearing red scarves, and everyone was all smiles.
Shen Fang snapped his fingers: "Serve the banquet!!!"
Twenty-four people sat around a round table, while two chefs began cooking not far away. Soon, a variety of delicacies were laid out, including whole roasted lamb, lobster, abalone, king crab, sea cucumber, caviar, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, tuna, and steak. These were the two Michelin three-star chefs that Shen Fang had specially invited.
Meanwhile, Huang Bo performed in the Golden Hall.
Look up and look around
Heaven and earth are vast and boundless.
There is a kind of longing in one's heart called hometown.
Covered in wounds
I braved the wind and rain alone.
It's just that time flies and youth is too reckless.
He raised his glass.
Let's be friends in this life
Even if the sky is high and the earth is deep, we will walk together.
Time flows like water
Just like the Yellow River flowing
So much time has passed and will never return.
The light of righteousness shines upon the earth.
Illuminate every dark place
Honesty is light
Like a man's chest
It has infinite power
So strong...
Ding Sanshi, gnawing on a large lobster claw, said, "This guy sings pretty well. I've never heard this song before. Who's the singer?"
"What singer, actor, or my classmate? Didn't you want me to arrange a talent show for you?"
"Um, I want a girl."
Shen Fang rolled his eyes: "It'll be here in a bit."
Ding Sanshi chuckled and rubbed his hands together: "Is everything arranged properly?"
"You're eating your food, but you talk too much."
Shen Fang picked up his wine glass: "Shouldn't we be electing a president?"
Duan Yongping smiled and said, "Brother Shen, why don't you just be the chairman?"
Little Ma nodded: "I think Lao Duan is right."
Shen Fang waved his hand: "I'll pass. I'll just be responsible for providing the venue and food and drinks. I'm the youngest here, so it's not appropriate for me to be the president. We need to find someone with high prestige. I think Lao Ren is suitable."
Ren Zhengfei waved his hand: "Me? I don't think I can do it."
Duan Yongping smiled and said, "You're the one. You're the oldest here, and you're our senior. Don't refuse."
"Let's toast the chairman." Shen Fang led the way, and everyone raised their glasses.
Ren Zhengfei smiled helplessly: "Thank you all for your kind words. Let's toast together."
