It was indeed a surprise to meet Mr. and Mrs. William during this trip.
Old William looked like a very traditional, old-fashioned gentleman, and Chen Fan could tell that the couple was very much in love.
"Actually, I brought my wife out this time to celebrate our wedding anniversary."
"Mr. William, the love between you and your wife is truly touching and admirable."
Old William looked at his wife and said with a smile.
"You too, I can see that you are a very loving couple."
Chen Fan gently held Su Ruochu's hand and asked with a smile, "We've only been married for a few years, and you've been married for thirty years. You're still so loving. What's your secret to keeping your marriage fresh?"
Hearing this question, old William smiled, picked up the tablecloth and wiped the corner of his mouth elegantly. After putting it down, he looked at his wife and spoke.
"There's only one secret: never contradict your wife. Whatever your wife says is right."
Chen Fan laughed and raised his glass.
The two men smiled at each other and clinked their glasses.
Next, the four of them talked about the customs and practices of various countries from the perspective of travel.
Chen Fan never thought that the old William couple had traveled to dozens of countries.
And every year on their wedding anniversary, the two of them would travel to a specific country.
This couple lived exactly like Chen Fan had dreamed of.
"Chen, don't always complain about too much work and too many trivial matters. While you're still young, go out more often. Only by seeing the world will you understand how many beautiful scenery this world has to offer."
Chen Fan smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your advice. I learned a lot from you two today."
The topic quickly shifted from travel materials to the living habits of both countries and their respective cultures.
Only then did Chen Fan realize that the old William couple were not native-born Americans.
William Sr. is a Danish citizen holding an American passport, while his wife Joanna is Italian.
Talking about business, old William said that his family has businesses in both Europe and America, but now he basically lives in the United States.
His family owns funds, stock companies, investment companies, and even has estates in Europe and its own wine brand.
Chen Fan introduced that he started a business in China and owned a group company.
When talking about Feifan Media, Old William had actually heard of it.
The reason is that some time ago there was news in Hollywood that a Chinese company acquired Legendary, one of the eight Hollywood film companies.
"I really didn't expect it. It turned out to be your company."
After dinner, Old William and Chen Fan got along better and better, so they found a seat by the window and smoked while chatting and relaxing.
Not far away, Su Ruochu was also talking and laughing with Joanna.
"There is a scientific and technological innovation company in your country called Feifan Technology."
"Recently, Wall Street has been researching this company. Many people believe that it has great potential in the future and are looking forward to its market value after it goes public."
Chen Fan smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Mr. William, actually...I also founded this Extraordinary Technology."
"oh?"
William really widened his eyes this time, a little shocked.
"How much have you earned this year? Is this your family business?"
Chen Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I started my own business when I was in college. My parents are ordinary rural people."
Then Chen Fan briefly introduced the process of starting a business when he was a student.
Old William was a little excited. "I never thought that I would meet such a talented entrepreneur in the business world today."
"Chen, even in Silicon Valley, where there are so many talented people, I believe you have surpassed some of them."
Chen Fan smiled modestly: "If I were in Silicon Valley, I might be unknown."
"My success is inseparable from domestic policies and the opportunities of the times."
Old William looked at Chen Fan with a smile.
"You're so young and still so lucid. You're truly amazing."
The two sides became more and more excited as they talked. When they heard that Chen Fan also had an investment company, Old William became even more excited.
When asked what industries Chen Fan had invested in, Chen Fan briefly talked about the areas that Ruofan Group was currently involved in.
Old William nodded with a smile.
"I didn't expect it. I was just traveling and unexpectedly met a business genius like Chen."
Chen Fan shook his head.
"Compared to Mr. William, I am still somewhat insignificant."
"Chen, don't be too modest. In the business world, sometimes modesty is not a good thing."
Chen Fan smiled and nodded.
It was already dark at this time. Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of the hotel, I could clearly see the night sky above my head.
The stars in the sky seem to be right in front of you, within reach.
“It’s so beautiful.”
Old William sighed, and then changed the topic from the starry sky to the aerospace field.
"Your country's aerospace sector is developing at an increasingly rapid pace."
"This is a good thing. For humans, only by continuous exploration can we understand the universe and realize how insignificant we are compared to the vast universe."
"Chen, what do you think of the concept of private spaceflight?"
Chen Fan was stunned, then smiled bitterly.
“This concept is too far-fetched for me.”
"Currently, there are only three countries in the world that possess true space capabilities, and they have invested enormous amounts of money."
"Compared to national will, private space travel is too expensive."
Old William smiled and shook his head.
"Space exploration burns money, but that doesn't mean it has no future."
"Although the current private space industry seems to be just a small-scale venture, I am very optimistic about the future prospects of private space."
"Of course, I value those hard-working businessmen in the private space sector more."
"Human life shouldn't be all about wealth, wine, women, and sex. Ultimately, it's about charging forward for those illusory hopes of the future."
Old William suddenly turned his head and smiled at Chen Fan.
"Chen, what is your dream?"
Chen Fan was stunned and pondered for a few seconds before speaking.
"My dream is to travel around the world with my wife one day."
Old William turned his head to look at Chen Fan, smiled and shook his head.
"You have the wealth you need now, and you can definitely do this. So, this isn't a dream. This is a future plan."
Chen Fan was curious, "Mr. William, what is your dream?"
"My dream..."
Old William seemed lost in thought, his entire expression becoming excited.
"I hope that one day I can ride a space rocket and go to heaven to take a look."
"Of course, if the future allows, I hope I can be buried on the moon after I die."
