"How come I didn't know you were so bad at billiards?" Zhang Wei and Sun Jie had already played three or four games, while Bai Song and Wang Liang were still fighting for the black eight - the first game.
"Why are you so competitive? Just for fun." Bai Song waved his hand casually.
"That's right." Wang Liang agreed deeply.
"Got it, got it...Oh no!" Zhang Wei became anxious watching Bai Song playing basketball. He wanted to go up and help hit the last ball.
While we were chatting, Zhang Wei called.
Today is not the weekend, so there are not many people in the billiard hall. The three tables are all on the side, and there are not many outsiders around, so Zhang Wei answered the phone directly.
It is polite for a friend to remain quiet when answering the phone, and Zhang Wei also deliberately lowered his voice.
Obviously, after receiving this call, Zhang Wei's mood became very good.
"What are you so happy about?" Bai Song asked.
"We want to make additional investments, but there is no way now. The company is not listed, so we can only find internal investors, which is very difficult," Zhang Wei said. "But this time it's good. We have the opportunity to meet a big boss."
"Boss? What's your name?" Wang Huadong was obviously also interested in learning more about investment.
"He is not famous yet," Zhang Wei said, "but I think he will be on the Forbes list in the future. As for ByteDance, which I mentioned, there will be a D round of financing at the end of this year. I was an ant in the C round two years ago, and I am not an ant in the D round this time. The sources of funds are all giants like Sequoia and China Construction Bank. Even if we have money, we can't squeeze in. It is very difficult for money to get a foot in, so if we can keep up with the big guys, even if we can only keep up with a hair, we can have enough to eat and drink."
"How much is a hair?" Bai Song asked back, "One million?"
"Yes," Zhang Wei nodded, "US dollars."
"Are you so rich now?" Bai Song was surprised.
"It doesn't matter if I invest all my assets in it," Zhang Wei said, "Time won't wait for me."
At this point, Zhang Wei thought for a moment: "When the risk disappears, the opportunity is gone too."
"Okay," Bai Song nodded, "So you got the chance to meet him this time."
"Well, Mr. Qian just called me and told me that I have to go with him tomorrow." Zhang Wei said, "The dog of the man we are looking for died, and there is a funeral. I should have a chance to attend."
"The dog died? Funeral?" Everyone was a little surprised.
"Yeah, I was worried that I wouldn't have the chance to get close to this big guy. Now I'm lucky enough to be able to become familiar with him." Zhang Wei also sighed with emotion: "Alas, people are worse than dogs."
"The dog died today?" Bai Song asked, "Does this require any ceremony?"
"It's not dead yet, but it's said that it's dying. It's being kept alive by equipment. It will be euthanized tomorrow," Zhang Wei said. "They didn't invite any friends, but this is also an opportunity. It's said that not only will the dog be euthanized tomorrow, but it will also be cloned. Someone from a pet agency will be there."
"Clone?" Bai Song felt like his eyes had been opened.
"Well, there is such a business now, it costs about 200,000 yuan, and in a few months, a dog exactly like this dog will be bred," Zhang Wei said, "Although it doesn't have the previous dog's memory, it looks exactly the same, and the owner can continue to raise it for more than ten years."
"The rich live in luxury..." Wang Huadong found it hard to understand. 200,000 yuan could buy a nice car!
"Okay then," Bai Song said, "I wish you good luck tomorrow."
Bai Song has been in Shangjing for more than half a year and has been on business trips frequently. He seldom lives here and has no idea what level Shangjing has developed to. Tonight, I come out to play and communicate with everyone and I feel deeply touched.
This city is developing really fast and is becoming more and more suitable for rich people to live in. There are beauties everywhere in the prosperous areas, giving people the feeling that all Chinese girls are beautiful.
In fact, Bai Song has been to so many places over the years and has summed up a truth: where there are many beautiful women, the economy must be good. If the economy is down, the beautiful women will slowly leave.
Bai Song felt that Zhang Wei had changed a lot. Not only had he become a big internet celebrity and rich, but he was also very smart. At such a young age, he had a lot of friends at the same level as Qian Tai. You have to know that people like Qian Tai are definitely not fools. They won't waste time on boring people.
Talking about the big guy who cloned dogs today, Bai Song then talked to Zhang Wei about his plan to raise a dog. Zhang Wei knew more than Bai Song imagined.
In general, Zhang Wei is a very down-to-earth person with a wide social circle, but it's different from Liu Shuyuan.
"Dogs have never been humans' best friends," Zhang Wei shook his head. "Dogs are humans' best slaves. The history of humans selecting and domesticating dogs is very dark. For each generation of successful ornamental dogs, their fathers and even older generations, perhaps not even one out of ten survived, and they were killed and disposed of harmlessly. The process and consequences of hybridization, I think it's cruel to hear about it. I know a dog factory like this, it makes a lot of money, and every time a dog with excellent appearance comes out, it can be sold at a high price."
"So I plan to raise a local dog," Bai Song said, "I have heard a little about what you said."
"Whatever, I won't keep one anyway," Zhang Wei said, "It's not that I have a lot of people, it's that I'm too lazy to keep one. Local dogs are obedient, but it's not instinct, they are just scared from being beaten. Rural dogs are killed and eaten if they are disobedient or bite people, so generations of rural dogs are afraid of people, they are just animals, that's it. But now some dog lovers..."
Zhang Wei was a little scared when he said this. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he said, "We have worn away the wildness of dogs. Once they regain their wildness, they will still bite or even eat people. They are not wild only because we are strong and they know how to be afraid. So this species can never be called a friend of mankind. But that doesn't mean that every dog can't be called a friend."
"Your last sentence is good." Sun Jie nodded: "I'm grateful for your advice."
What Zhang Wei said actually makes sense. There are many dogs that really have feelings for humans and are even willing to die for their owners, but this does not mean that all dogs in this species are friends.
Many dog lovers misunderstand this point.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, many Japanese citizens were very kind, and some even provided us with assistance. These people are our friends, but we cannot say that all Japanese at that time were our friends.
"So, I still plan to adopt a pastoral dog." Bai Song smiled and nodded: "I won't listen to your twisted logic."
"Hahaha," Zhang Wei laughed, "I'm not a person who speaks the truth."
