"Wow, Huang Xiaoming, you're really something. Others make money and spend it all in the entertainment industry, without bringing a single penny home."
"You've made money in the entertainment industry and now you want to do business outside of it."
Hearing Zhang Long's joke, Huang Xiaoming also laughed.
The entertainment industry is too complicated; he felt that his small frame couldn't handle it, and he might drown if he wasn't careful.
"When it comes to investing, the hottest sector right now is definitely the internet industry; it's the most profitable!"
"However, the internet industry is not easy to navigate."
"There are many hurdles involved. Rushing in would likely result in significant financial losses. There are plenty of examples of big bosses failing in their investments!"
"If you don't have connections in this business, you can only rely on familiar opportunities, not unfamiliar ones!"
"Unless you have a great reputation and strong influence in this industry, so that people don't dare to cheat you out of your money."
"Why don't you try investing in Principal Wang's Panda platform? You're a big star, and with your celebrity influence, he definitely won't miss out."
"We just need to complete two more rounds of financing to successfully go public!"
When Huang Xiaoming heard Zhang Long's words, he was really tempted!
After all, he had experienced Huayi Brothers' IPO, which instantly multiplied the value of his shares several times over.
His biggest advantage is his celebrity status.
Just like Zhang Long said, this halo can sometimes be a really good thing.
As long as he retains his fame, he'll be very useful!
Master Huang raised his glass again and toasted Zhang Long once more...
The next morning around 10 a.m., the same four people appeared at the HL Building.
When Huang and his group arrived at the underground parking garage, they were surprised to see Zhang Long's several large toys. They had thought that Zhang Long's big bull was already quite flamboyant, but they didn't expect that it was the most ordinary one here.
Chen Chichi, in particular, was practically glued to the car.
But Principal Wang was much calmer. He had heard before that many super luxury cars were exhibited at Hang Lung Plaza, so he guessed that might be the case.
Now that I see it, I was right!
He could afford this car, but there was no need; it would be too much trouble. (Principal Wang is still quite wealthy as he hasn't experienced business failure yet.)
The group took the elevator to the 35th floor, where Zhang Long was already waiting at the elevator entrance.
Seeing that there were still many workers on site, Chen Chichi asked curiously, "Brother Long, what are you doing?"
Zhang Long casually mentioned that a vault was being installed here.
He led a few people to a room in the corner, opened the door, and turned on the light, to which the group gasped in amazement once again.
The main thing is that it's too shocking. The room is filled with antique shelves all around. The right side is full of all kinds of bottles and jars, the left side is full of seals, and in front of it are rare silver coins placed by Zhang Long.
Each item has a small label with its name and a suggested price attached; Hu Xinxin did all of this.
In the middle is a large table, much like the recessed interior of a pool table.
The top was piled high with various silver coins that Zhang Long thought were not very valuable, but the sheer quantity was astonishing!
"Feel free to look around."
As he spoke, he walked to the side and turned on all the small lights on the display shelves.
The room suddenly became several degrees brighter.
Principal Wang looked at the silver dollars in the middle in surprise: "Ah Long, are all of these real?"
Zhang Long nodded slowly: "Although these silver dollars are of relatively ordinary quality and variety, they are all genuine and at least a hundred years old."
“I’ll go!”
Lin Gengxin couldn't help but swear.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that there were at least a thousand stacks of silver dollars, with each stack containing about fifty or sixty dollars.
What everyone just saw was what was exposed; getting up close was truly astonishing!
There must be at least tens of thousands of silver dollars piled up here.
Chen Chichi muttered to himself, "My goodness, if this were in the old days, we could have raised an army to fight a war!"
Huang Xiaoming, after all, was a man who had seen the world, and he quickly recovered from his shock.
He began to tour the room. He himself had collected some antiques and paintings, but there were no paintings or calligraphy in this room.
Out of curiosity, he couldn't help but ask Zhang Long, "Mr. Zhang, don't you have any antiques like calligraphy and paintings here?"
"Or was it placed in another exhibition area?"
Zhang Long shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm not really interested in calligraphy and paintings. I just like these coins. I picked up these porcelain pieces while I was collecting coins."
"We kept the real ones and threw away the fake ones."
"There is another exhibition area, which has collected everything from the earliest shell money to the latest Chinese currency."
"If you're interested, I'll take you to see it later."
"I have collected a complete set of currencies from the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, Qin, Han, all the way to the People's Republic of China."
This entire set took my team a whole year to collect; it's extremely rare.
As soon as Zhang Long finished speaking, the four people in the room immediately became interested.
Even Chen Chichi was no exception; Zhang Long's words piqued his interest, and he lost all interest in looking at the antiques.
Zhang Long picked out two warlord coins in relatively good condition for him, and Zhang Long took 500,000 from him as a token payment and that was it.
The group then moved to Building 1 of COFCO Ocean View One.
The group entered the elevator, and Zhang Long took out his elevator card and swiped it with a "beep".
Then he pressed the button for the 35th floor and joked with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, you like the number 35 so much?"
Zhang Long chuckled, "No, I live on the 39th floor myself, and I use the 35th floor as a collection room."
"It's kind of funny, actually. I was planning to install the vault there, but that idiot manager installed it on this floor instead."
Upon hearing this, the group burst into laughter. Of course, they didn't take it seriously; what a coincidence!
Once you reach the 35th floor, the elevator doors usually open directly into the apartment.
But it's different here.
After the group came out, they saw a thick alloy door.
There are also dozens of infrared devices and three cameras at the entrance.
Zhang Long explained to them, "This is to prevent anyone other than my girlfriend and me from barging in, as long as it's not just the two of us."
"If anyone appears on this floor, the outer elevator door will be locked immediately and an alarm will be triggered."
As he spoke, Zhang Long took out his phone and opened the security system to show everyone. These cameras were all in full HD and could be magnified 10 times.
Then Zhang Long placed his palm on the palm print recognition machine on the wall.
A green light swept back and forth twice, and then a small hole opened up beside it. Zhang Long aimed his eyes at the hole and scanned it again.
