Zhang Long picked up his glass, made an opening remark, and we all drank together. The atmosphere immediately became noticeably more cheerful.
Zhang Long almost never refuses a toast offered to him; now he drinks beer like it's water.
This was quite an impressive display. In less than ten minutes, Zhang Long had already drunk almost ten bottles of beer, yet he remained unfazed and chatted and laughed with them.
He went to the restroom halfway through and nothing happened, which really impressed the group of rich kids.
For them, being able to drink alcohol is also a skill.
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, everyone leaned back in their chairs and started smoking.
The conversation then turned to sports cars, and Li Rong turned to Zhang Long and said, "Old Zhang, you were too assertive yesterday. You probably offended a lot of people in the industry."
Zhang Long laughed heartily and patted Li Rong on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I consider myself to have some connections."
"This was also a coincidence. I had wanted to collect one of these types of cars before, and I originally planned to get it from collectors overseas, but I found that it was available locally, so I paid a high price to get it."
"We became friends through a misunderstanding. I'll come to Shenzhen again in April. I brought back three cars from overseas, and we'll come together to take a look then."
Zhang Long's words also piqued the curiosity of the group of wealthy second-generation individuals present.
Li Rong was also itching to know what kind of car it was, and quickly asked, "Old Zhang, what kind of car is it?"
Zhang Long smiled and shook his head: "It'll lose its mystery if I tell you now, but I'm sure you won't be disappointed."
"Just a friendly reminder, this is an extremely rare limited edition sports car."
The drinking session lasted until 11 p.m., and Zhang Long declined their invitation to another round.
He explained that he's been very busy these past couple of days, and that he'll come over next time, or visit them in Shanghai, and then they can have a great time together.
He called a designated driver who had driven sports cars to take him home.
As Wang Hong watched Zhang Long leave, he was still thinking about what Zhang Long had just said.
Li Rong just asked Zhang Long, "You have businesses in Shanghai, and they're doing so well. Why don't you go and develop your business there?"
Although there are some rich kids in Shenzhen who drive supercars, the mainstream circle is still dominated by the older generation of wealthy people.
In Shanghai, there are plenty of young people who love supercars, and without the interference of older generations, it's easy to get along with them. Knowing more people can be helpful for future business, right?
Zhang Long, however, said that I was just a "country bumpkin" and a "nouveau riche," so why was I going there to join in the fun? He said that the circles in Shanghai were for real rich kids like me.
I ran over to join the fun, but once I left, people might laugh at me for being just a stinky fruit seller.
Shenzhen is different. It's a very inclusive city, and there are just too many new-generation rich people like me here.
Once my career grows and becomes successful, I will naturally have a place in the mainstream circles of this city.
Isn't that more glamorous than your so-called circle of rich kids?
You guys need to think about the long term. I only said these things to you guys because I was having a good time today.
These words immediately made Wang Hong fall into deep thought.
"Yes, the glory of the second generation of rich kids only lasts for a few years. They can't compare to the longevity of the first generation of rich kids."
He may seem to be living a glamorous life now, but his position in the family is precarious. If his father is alive, things are fine, but if his father is gone, the consequences will be dire...
Li Rong, oblivious to the fact that Zhang Long had just mentioned those three sports cars, was thinking about them.
Wang Hong was no longer in the mood for the next game. After returning home, he spent the whole night thinking about things, tossing and turning until he finally drifted off to sleep around 3 a.m.
The next day, after getting up, Zhang Long first sent a video to Da Mei, saying that he would be busy for two more days before going back.
After talking for a while, he hung up the video call and went out.
He had a lot to do today. First, he went to the company to put some cigarettes and alcohol he planned to take back in his car, and then notified the administrative staff to spread the word that a video conference would be held around 10:30 a.m., requiring all branch managers to be present.
Then he went out to deliver the car, and Master Cai had been waiting by the roadside for a while.
He paid a deposit of 5,000 yuan first, and then paid the balance when he arrived. Master Cai was very happy because if the boss was satisfied with this job, he would be entrusted with transporting all his cars in the future.
Back at the company, Zhang Long called Zheng Xia and several department heads who were on duty to the conference room.
After the video conference started, he made two points. The first point was to count the number of employees who could stay on duty during the Spring Festival. This was not mandatory. He asked the heads of each branch to complete the count as soon as possible and then submit it to the administration. Zheng Xia was responsible for supervising the process.
The second point is the welfare of the employees who stay on duty. From the 29th of the lunar year to the 13th of the first lunar month, a total of 15 days, all employees who stay on duty will be paid at 5 times their normal salary. After the HR department compiles the statistics, it will be sent to the finance department and paid together with the February salary.
After Zhang Long finished speaking, he addressed the crowd, saying, "That's all I wanted to say. Do you have anything to add?"
The video conference went on until after midnight, so Zhang Long asked Xiao Xiao to order takeout and have it delivered.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will probably be KFC again, since young people love to eat that stuff anyway.
Before returning, he went through all his connections here and gave gifts to everyone who needed them.
Before the end of the year, he had no idea that he had unknowingly built a very strong network of connections in Shenzhen.
Since his company achieved daily sales of 100 million, those big shots who were once only able to admire him from afar are now talking to him with smiles.
Zhang Long once again secretly thanked the system for everything it had brought him.
Back home, with nothing to do, he turned on his computer to play some games.
I haven't played League of Legends in a long time. Ever since it was reborn, I've been thinking about making money every day. I'm either making money or on my way to make money.
After the update, he discovered that today was January 31, 2016, and the season settlement would begin after 12 o'clock.
Also, after playing with Yangzi and the others last time, I found that my skills seemed to have improved a little, but I didn't pay too much attention to it last time.
He started a custom game, picked Lee Sin, and then started doing all sorts of ward-hopping kicks and R-flashes.
He was able to put into practice operations that could only exist in theory in his previous life.
It's amazing. He's now thinking about what rank he can reach next season based on his own skills.
I played two more matches, showcasing my skills with the Blind Monk. It was a really addictive experience.
After playing a few rounds and just as he was about to close the game, he saw an interesting event pop up.
"The Seven-Colored Auspicious Clouds of the Monkey King"
Event Period: February 4th - February 10th, 2016
