In the Hakka teahouse, in private room number seven on the third floor, Chen Ze, Fatty, and Chen Hao were eating Cantonese breakfast.
The table was piled high with various breakfast items: shrimp dumplings, steamed chicken feet, red rice rolls, swan-shaped pastries, water chestnut cakes...
Twenty minutes later, the three of them had finished their meal. The door to the private room was pushed open, and Chen Youfu walked in, casually closing the door behind him. He smiled and said, "Judging from your appearance, you've had your fill."
"Dad, you got here so quickly?"
Chen Youfu grabbed a piece of water chestnut cake, "If there's no traffic, it'll only take an hour and a half on the highway."
After he sat down, Chen Ze said, "I've called you all here today to discuss something."
Chen Youfu smiled slightly, "Just say what you need to say, what's there to discuss?"
Chen Ze waved his hand, "No, Uncle Youfu, business is business, even brothers should keep clear accounts. I plan to ask you to raise money for a venture capital investment, so I will pay you an annual interest rate of five percent on the money I borrow from you."
"How much are you planning to borrow?" Chen Hao asked.
Chen Ze said calmly, "I'll lend you as much as you can, the more the better."
“Then I’ll lend you a billion. Anyway, the interest rate on that money in the bank is only 0.3%, which is pitifully low,” Chen Hao said.
Chen Youfu looked at him in shock: "Son, where did you get so much money?"
Chen Hao raised his arrogant chin. "Dad, aren't I amazing? I won't need to ask you for money anymore, so don't give me that attitude. Also, the Panda delivery uniforms that your Baihe Garment Factory is selling are from my order, so you'd better try to please me from now on, or I'll place the order with someone else."
Upon hearing this, Chen Youfu raised his hand and gave him two human-flesh peanuts on the head.
"What? You've made some money and now you're not going to acknowledge your surname as Chen anymore? Believe me or not, I'll take another wife, have a few more kids, and I won't give you a single penny of my assets."
Chen Hao chuckled and said, "Hey Dad, I was just kidding, why are you taking it so seriously?"
Chen Youfu glanced at him and thought, "You little punk, trying to mess with me? I'll crush you."
“Aze, I used to have 4 billion. Recently, I invested in buying land and building an industrial park, which cost 500 million. I have 3.5 billion left. I’ll lend you 3 billion, and keep 500 million for emergencies.”
"I'll put up 80 million, and I'll still have a few million left in my pocket, enough for me to spend," the fat man laughed.
Chen Ze nodded, then took out three slips of paper with Grey Wolf Investment's account number written on them, and gave one to each person. "Okay, transfer the money to this company's account."
Then the group took out their laptops and started transferring money. Chen Ze still had 4.8 billion, so he transferred 4.52 billion into the account, leaving 300 million for emergencies at the emergency company.
When Shen Xiyu, who was far away in Hong Kong, saw that 8.6 billion had suddenly entered the company account, she was shocked and her mouth dropped open. She had no idea where the boss had gotten so much money.
Less than a minute later, the boss sent a message: Convert this money into US dollars and then buy Tesla stock with it.
She immediately replied, "Okay, boss."
She went to Citibank and exchanged all 8.6 billion into US dollars. This year's exchange rate is 1 US dollar to 6.7 yuan, so she exchanged 1.3 billion US dollars.
Subsequently, with Tesla stock trading at $18.10 per share today, she invested all of her $1.3 billion in Tesla stock.
Shen Xiyu had been busy in Hong Kong for three days. After finishing her business, she and Zhao Youde returned to Shenzhen through the Shekou Port.
"..."
At No. 25 Wansui Road, Beijing, in Villa No. 13, Area A, Wang Siyu and her family of four were having lunch.
"Siyu, your grandfather has arranged for you to marry Zhang Liqi, the only son of Wansheng Real Estate Group. He's transferring back from England soon and should arrive in about half an hour. Go and meet him," Ye Qingya instructed.
"Mom, didn't my grandpa say before that I should marry Minister Liu's son? Why has he changed it again?"
"Sigh!" Ye Qingya sighed, "I also wanted you to marry Minister Liu's son, but unfortunately they chose Wang Sishi, a direct descendant of the Wang family. Obviously, they look down on us collateral relatives. Although the Zhang family is in business, their Wansheng Real Estate Group is now worth more than 10 billion yuan. You can enjoy a good life after you marry into their family."
Wang Siyu looked at her brother, who was engrossed in eating, and kicked him under the table: "Wang Sikong, do you think I'm like a ball, being kicked around by others?"
“Little sister, we are from different generations. I was born in the 80s and you were born in the 90s. We have different views on this kind of arranged marriage, so I can’t answer your question.”
Wang Siyu and her brother Wang Sikong are eight years apart, which means one of them is a post-80s generation and the other is a post-90s generation.
"Mom, I can accept and understand if the marriage is with a politician, since my father and brother are both in politics. But if it's with a businessman who won't help our family, I'm sorry I can't agree."
Wang Jianhua, who hadn't spoken until now, said seriously, "Siyu, this is your grandfather's idea. You should go and get in touch with Zhang Liqi first. You've known each other since you were little, so it shouldn't be difficult. If you feel it's not suitable, then go and talk to your grandfather."
Faced with her strict father, she had no choice but to compromise.
"Okay, Dad, I'll go and see. I won't agree if it's not a good fit."
After saying that, she put down her chopsticks, went to the living room, and turned on the TV.
After switching channels and seeing only commercials, she finally switched to Shenzhen TV and saw a familiar figure on screen, playing and singing on a guitar.
Who knew I would meet you?
Before she could utter a word, her eyes were already filled with tears.
...We still passed each other by.
Actually, I wanted to keep you here.
Let time stand still, just you and me... There was a fool who once loved you... who was so devoted to you...
Seeing Chen Ze sing with choked voice and tears streaming down his face, she could no longer hold back her own tears, which welled up in her eyes.
Her brother, Wang Sikong, was standing behind her without her noticing.
"Is this the sweetheart you met at Shenzhen University? I've heard my mom mention him."
Wang Siyu pouted: "It's none of your business."
Wang Sikong patted her head:
"Little sister, forget about him. It's impossible for you two. Unless you leave the Wang family, Grandpa will never agree to you marrying a country bumpkin."
"Brother, what's wrong with being from the countryside? Isn't Mr. Liu of JD.com also from the countryside? Look at him, he still built a 30 billion yuan company."
"He's the only one in China. I don't believe there will be another Mr. Liu from the countryside."
"Brother, that's your opinion, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
Wang Jianhua sat down on the sofa. "Sikong, your grandfather just called. He said that the document from above has been issued, and you are to take up a post in Shacheng, Hunan Province tomorrow. Your position is the deputy mayor of Shacheng."
Wang Sikong's eyes lit up. "Is there any hope of being promoted to the official position?"
"Do a good job. The Party organization has discerning eyes. This spot was secured by your grandfather through the Wang family's direct line. I hope you cherish this opportunity."
Don't worry, I'm not a child.
Wang Sikong was getting impatient with her father's nagging.
"Siyu, it's almost time. Go and bring Zhang Liqi back. I want to talk to him," her father instructed.
"oh."
