Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen returned to the Castle in the Sky, while Liang Zitao and the others went back to Wangjing Mansion to prepare for tomorrow's competition.
After returning to the castle in the sky, Qiu Shui couldn't wait to go back to his room.
Then the lottery begins.
"Ding... Congratulations to the host for winning a 50% discount coupon for company shares. This coupon can be used to purchase company shares randomly drawn by the system at a 50% discount. Do you want to randomly draw now?"
"yes."
Qiu Shui looked at the long list of company names that appeared on the virtual board in front of him.
Some of the names of those companies are not just from China, but also from many foreign companies.
Qiu Shui also knew some of the companies, some of which were large companies with a market value of hundreds of billions, while there were some companies that Qiu Shui had never even heard of.
All the company names are starting to roll in at a very fast pace.
The speed is getting faster and faster.
This random selection really doesn't leave him any loopholes.
Since there was no loophole to exploit, Qiu Shui simply called a halt.
He believed in the system. After all, it was a system for showing off wealth. As rewards, it shouldn't give some second-rate companies as awards.
As a result, Qiu Shui still felt that his ideas were too simple.
A total of ten companies were selected.
Behind every company name is the company's current market value and the company's shares that can be purchased.
The first company, called Emperor Banquet, offers the ability to purchase up to 90% of the company's shares.
The name sounds very impressive, it must be a high-end catering company.
As a result, it was just a small catering company that had just gone public, and less than five months later, it was subject to various investigations due to food safety and was almost on the verge of delisting.
The second company is a construction company called Tianshang Renjia.
It sounds pretty ethereal, right?
Wow, this construction company was on the hot news yesterday. Qiu Shui just happened to see it.
The reason is that they used a trick to replace the good building materials with inferior ones in secret.
As a result, the walls of the building they built began to crack less than a year after construction, making it a dangerous building.
The owner and major shareholders of this Tianshangrenjia have been taken away for investigation. The company's shares hit rock bottom. Be prepared to exit the market at any time.
Some of the other companies are also sunset industries. If Qiu Shui didn't know that the system would not cheat, he would have thought that the system dad did it on purpose.
The nine companies mentioned above are not good at all.
But the tenth one is awesome.
When Qiu Shui saw the tenth one, he jumped up on the spot.
"Hua Guo Long Teng Company, you can purchase 5% of the shares. The original price is 200 billion Chinese dollars, and after using the 50% discount coupon, you only need to pay 100 billion Chinese dollars."
The system didn't expect Qiu Shui to actually win the shares of Longteng Company. It smacked its lips and said, "Host, you are so lucky."
“Longteng?” Qiu Shui pointed at the watch on his hand and asked the system: “Is this the Longteng in my Longteng watch?”
The system replied: "Yes."
"But Longteng is not a listed company. Where did you get the shares of Longteng?"
In China, there are only five companies with a market value of over one trillion Chinese yuan.
Ranked first is the country’s largest automobile brand company, Red Star.
Ranked second is the country’s largest Internet company, Luhua.
Ranked third is Longteng.
Ranked fourth is the country’s largest construction company, Huajia.
Ranked fifth is dragon embroidery in the luxury clothing industry.
These five recognized super companies with a market value of over one trillion yuan are not listed companies.
These five companies, from the presidents in public to the management of various departments in the headquarters. They are all pure Chinese.
Even ordinary employees need to go through various screenings and background checks before they can work at the headquarters of these five companies.
Although these five companies have not made any statement, some clues can be seen from their recruitment information.
These five companies are private companies on the surface. In fact, the official is behind it.
Twenty years ago, all kinds of Western luxury goods were popular in China.
The West relies on various luxury goods to continuously make money in China, and at the same time continues to import their culture into China.
Later, the emergence of Red Star, Dragon and Dragon Embroidery broke the dominance of Western luxury goods over China with their absolute quality and technology.
Soon, in just a few years, it defeated those Western luxury brands.
Moreover, in turn, they export their products to Western countries.
With its excellent quality and the combination of fashion and practicality, it has successfully defeated the luxury brands that have dominated the West for decades or even hundreds of years.
Finally, we have established a firm foothold in the world's top luxury brands.
Red Star, Dragon Soaring and Dragon Embroidery are also jokingly called the three best Chinese luxury goods by the Chinese people.
The annual turnover of these three companies is an astronomical figure.
The three major brands are where they are today, not only because of their own strong strength, but also because of the official support behind them.
Almost all Chinese people know that these three are actually tools launched by the government to suppress the West.
And now, the system actually got him 5% of Longteng Company's shares.
This is a serious matter.
If the situation is not handled properly, he will most likely have to go in and eat a free meal.
Therefore, when Qiu Shui saw these shares, he was more shocked than surprised.
The system explained: "Host, don't worry, there is no problem with the origin of these shares. Just like your Prince Ren's Palace, the origin is absolutely legitimate."
The reward that the system wants to give to Qiu Shui is certainly not arranged randomly.
The rewards that can appear in the system space have very formal origins.
Make sure that humans cannot find any abnormalities.
"Really? You have to be sure. Otherwise, if I buy the shares and something goes wrong, you will lose me, the system."
Qiu Shui had to be cautious when it came to matters concerning the rest of his life.
The system promised, "Really, host, don't worry. All the rewards you get from this system are legal and compliant. There is absolutely no problem."
Qiu Shui felt relieved after the system said this.
"Okay, then I will choose to use the 50% discount coupon to purchase 5% of the shares of Huaguo Longteng Company."
"Ding, the deduction is successful. Congratulations to the host for successfully using the 50% discount coupon to purchase 5% of the shares of Huaguo Longteng Company."
"Please note that the company's equity certificate will be delivered to the host in three days."
Just when Qiu Shui successfully purchased the shares, at the same time. In a spacious three-courtyard courtyard far away in Kyoto.
A gray-haired old man was lying on a rocking chair in the yard, resting with his eyes closed.
Standing behind the recliner was an old man with white hair, wrinkles all over his face, but a ruddy complexion. The old man was holding a purple clay teapot in his hand.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in his forties walked in from outside.
I saw an old man lying on a chair with his eyes closed, seemingly taking a rest.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, turned around a few times, and didn't dare to move forward, looking a little impatient.
The old man lying on the chair suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Come in."
After hearing what the old man said, the middle-aged man walked in immediately.
Then he placed his hands vertically on the outside of his thighs, bowed respectfully towards the old man on the chair, and said, "Dad, something big has happened."
"Jianhua, I've told you so many times that you should be calm when doing things. Look at how you are now. How can you be like the Zheng family?"
Mr. Zheng sat up from his chair and started lecturing.
Zheng Jianhua didn't dare to refute. Instead, he looked terrified and repeatedly apologized to the old man.
After Zheng Jianhua had almost finished his apology and Mr. Zheng had almost finished his criticism, Mr. Zheng slowly stretched out his right hand.
The old butler who had been standing by immediately stepped forward and handed the teapot in his hand to Mr. Zheng. Then left.
Mr. Zheng took a sip of the warm tea from the purple clay teapot, moistened his throat, and then said to the middle-aged man, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Zheng Jianhua gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, the shares released by Longteng Company have been bought by someone."
"What did you say?" Mr. Zheng, who had a calm expression just now, suddenly stood up from his chair after hearing what Zheng Jianhua said.
"That share is worth 200 billion Chinese Yuan. If you want to trade, you need to pay it all at once. Which family is so fast and got ahead of us? Is it the Murong family?"
Zheng Jianhua shook his head, "It's someone from Renwang Palace."
"Renwangfu?" Mr. Zheng was stunned for a moment, "Is it the descendant of the old patriarch?"
Of course, 200 billion Chinese yuan is nothing to the Zheng family.
After all, their Zheng family, as one of the two major hidden families in China, has been passed down from more than a thousand years ago to the present day. The family background is very rich.
However, back then, the two hidden families donated a large portion of their wealth in order to support the country.
On the one hand, they support the country, and on the other hand, they also want to protect themselves.
After all, a family like theirs that has been passed down for so long must have deep-rooted influence in China.
The authorities will definitely be wary of them. So in order to reassure the authorities, they donated a large part of their assets. The purpose is to show their surrender to the authorities.
Of course, after they expressed their sincerity, the authorities also gave them a lot of gifts in return.
At the very least, in China, as long as the members of their hidden families abide by the law, the government will protect them for a day.
Even if the families outside change, as long as they don't get involved, it won't affect them.
This time, the government needs a lot of funds to develop a new energy project.
Therefore, 5% of Longteng Company's shares were released. Not long ago, there was news that President Long Teng also released his favorite collectible car, the Dragon Star Golden Supercar.
Longteng Company has always been controlled by the government behind the scenes. Even their secluded family didn't dare to get involved.
Although it is just a luxury goods company, Longteng’s value is obvious to all.
With a 5% stake, there will be considerable dividends every year. Moreover, these shares will only become more valuable over time.
In addition, as long as you get these 5% shares, it is equivalent to entering the official camp.
It will also be more convenient to do many things.
However, it would be somewhat difficult to raise 200 billion yuan in cash with clear sources and no problems in a short period of time.
Their private family has a lot of businesses. But many of them cannot see the light. After all, those are their trump cards. Can't reveal it easily.
In fact, there are not many industries that have gone through official channels.
At the very least, it is impossible to raise 200 billion Chinese yuan in a short period of time by relying on those industries on the open road.
They can't, and neither can their rivals, the Murong family.
The four major families outside are even more impossible.
Therefore, Mr. Zheng thought that this would be a war between their Zheng family and the Murong family.
The competition is about which of them can raise 200 billion in cash faster.
However, unexpectedly, someone suddenly appeared and took the initiative?
To be honest, their secluded family was not actually two families before. But three.
Among them, Nioufu is one of the three hidden families.
Like their two major families, Renwangfu has been passed down to this day for more than a thousand years.
It’s just that the Renwang Palace’s high-profile approach is contrary to the style of the secluded families. Therefore, even many families in Kyoto do not know the origin of Nioufu.
When Niou Palace was passed down to the previous generation, there were only two heirs left.
One disappeared while still breastfeeding.
Another one, during a special period, lost his mind and donated all his secret property to the government. There is nothing left.
People outside thought that the Nio Palace would fall into decline because of its traditional extravagant lifestyle. But in fact, it was because the head of Nioufu donated his family fortune.
The old patriarch of Niwang Palace did this in order to protect Niwang Palace.
In the end, Renwangfu did receive official protection as it wished.
However, this also destroyed their Niwang Palace's inheritance.
The old patriarch was alone until his death. This is the end of their Nio Palace.
In the past two years, Mr. Zheng vaguely heard that Renwang Mansion was about to collapse. The authorities are preparing to take it back.
Unexpectedly, not long ago, the old man’s nephew came back.
I heard that he is the descendant of the old man’s missing younger brother who was still breastfeeding. He is also the only offspring.
The official side has confirmed the identity, and after confirming there are no problems, they handed over the Niou Palace to the lucky little guy.
When Mr. Zheng learned the news, he didn't take the little guy named Qiu Shui seriously at all.
After all, Renwangfu is now just an empty shell. Now the only hidden families left in China are the Zheng family and the Murong family.
What he didn't expect was that this inconspicuous little guy, who was not taken seriously by him, actually snatched food from the mouths of their Zheng family and Murong family.
"How could that little guy come up with so much money?" Mr. Zheng was extremely confused.
Back then, when the old patriarch of Renwang Mansion lost his mind and donated all his property, he and the one from Murong family were also present.
A long time ago, the two families had an alliance with Renwangfu.
A great-aunt of the Murong family once married an old prince of the Renwang Palace.
Their Zheng family also once married a great-aunt to Renwang Palace.
Speaking of which, their Zheng family and Murong family are both in-laws of the Renwang Palace. Knows a lot about things in Niofu.
Therefore, when Renwangfu made the donation, the authorities asked the heads of the Zheng family and the Murong family to come and provide evidence.
According to seniority, the current descendant of Renwang Mansion is older than him and the one from Murong family.
Both he and the one from Murong's family called the little guy uncle.
"This is what surprised me the most." Zheng Jianhua also received even more explosive news.
"Dad, I asked someone to investigate. The guy from Renwangfu not only bought all the luxury goods of Demon King not long ago, but also bought all the castles in the air in Demon City. He even bought the 3 billion gold supercar of President Longteng."
"More importantly, he was the mastermind behind the uproar in Kyoto not long ago that led to the Qin family's downfall. The authorities seemed to be deliberately hiding his information. I had a hard time finding it out."
When Zheng Jianhua found out about this, he was shocked.
"Dad, do you think that incident was officially…?"
"Impossible." Mr. Zheng refuted immediately.
"The Qin family and the Ren family have done many things that have crossed the line over the years. The reason the authorities are moving against them this time is because they have crossed the official bottom line. As for the one from Renwang Palace..."
Mr. Zheng was silent for a moment, then snorted coldly.
"Humph, back then, the head of the Murong family must have hidden something that the official didn't know about, just like us. Otherwise, where did the money of the little guy in Renwang Mansion come from?"
"Maybe……"
Mr. Zheng seemed to have thought of something and his pupils constricted.
"Perhaps, he also deliberately arranged for his brother's disappearance. Well, we have all been deceived. The head of the Renwang Palace is really calculating."
"But if Renwangfu had really done that back then, the authorities would definitely not let the man from Renwangfu go now. But now the authorities not only returned Renwangfu to him, but are also protecting him in secret. This doesn't make sense. Unless..."
"Unless the government knew about the donation. The purpose of the cooperation between Renwangfu and the government was to force our two families to donate."
Yes, that must be the case.
But the head of the family this year is Mr. Zheng’s father.
The two major families didn't intend to donate so many things at the beginning.
Later, when the Renwang Palace incident happened, the Zheng and Murong families had to donate most of their assets in order to avoid official suspicion.
Perhaps, the naked donation of Renwangfu was a conspiracy between the government and Renwangfu from the very beginning. This trap was set up for their Zheng family and Murong family.
The more Mr. Zheng thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was true.
Zheng Jianhua was extremely shocked after hearing what his father said. "Dad, what should we do? Should we go talk to the man in Renwang Palace?"
"Talk? Talk about what?" Mr. Zheng asked, "Don't you see it? This time, the issue of Longteng's shares is the same as what happened back then. It's all a trap."
Zheng Jianhua was stunned. "Dad, do you mean that the authorities want to bomb us?"
"That's right." Mr. Zheng said with lingering fear: "If we accidentally misappropriate the secret funds because of our impatience, the authorities will definitely investigate. Then our family's secret industries will definitely be exposed."
And once their secret activities are exposed, the authorities will definitely not let them off easily.
Unfortunately, neither he nor the one from Murong's family participated in this game.
So the official directly sold the shares to the person in Nioufu.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness." Zheng Jianhua patted his chest, still feeling frightened. Then he remembered something.
He took out a golden invitation from his pocket and handed it respectfully to Mr. Zheng with both hands.
"Oh, by the way, Dad. The people from Longxiu sent the invitation to this year's brand show. Who are you going to take with you this year?"
After receiving the invitation, Mr. Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Last year, I brought your brother with me, so I'll take you this year."
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare now." Zheng Jianhua was overjoyed when he heard that his father would take him with him this time.
At the same time, the Murong family also received news about Longteng Company's shares.
Like Mr. Zheng, the Murong family also suspected that the matter of Longteng Company’s shares was a setup.
The four major families in Kyoto also received news about the transfer of Longteng Company's shares.
They also encountered the same troubles as the secluded family. I can’t come up with that much visible funding.
The newly-appointed Lu family was even more eager to obtain shares in Longteng Company. Everyone is in a hurry to buy a company and land.
As a result, news suddenly came out that the shares of Longteng Company had been successfully transferred.
However, the people from the four major families could not find out who had acquired the 5% stake.
The news about the mysterious shareholder was kept hidden.
Qiu Shui spent 100 billion Chinese yuan to buy 5% of Longteng's shares because he believed that the system would not really harm him as the host. So I didn't ask about the shares.
Instead, he shifted his attention to the mysterious gift box.
This was the first time he received an extra reward for completing a task.
Therefore, Qiu Shui realized that there were extra rewards for completing the task perfectly.
Qiu Shui opened the mysterious gift box and got an invitation from it.
That's right, an invitation.
It was a golden invitation written in neat calligraphy.
The invitation invited Qiu Shui and Qiu Shui's friends to attend the brand's solo show to be held in the water town ten days after the dragon embroidery.
Is Longxiu a unique brand?
Qiu Shui had heard of this.
This is a huge brand event held every three years by Longxiu.
Those who can participate in this brand show are the top people in China.
Moreover, this brand is unique, with only 1,000 places available each year.
The last time Long Xiu’s brand was showcased, the heads of the four largest families in Kyoto all attended.
It can be said that being able to participate in this unique brand show of dragon embroidery is a symbol of status.
Every year, many of China’s upper class people try their best to compete for these 1,000 places.
Qiu Shui had only heard of the brand Longxiu before and thought it was just a high-end fashion show.
However, after studying the luxury goods course, I understood that this unique brand is actually equivalent to an exchange event among China's top aristocratic families.
Qiu Shui learned from the luxury goods course that all the guests attending this event would wear high-end clothing embroidered with dragons.
Qiu Shui herself has many high-end clothes with dragon embroidery, but Lou Yuchen does not.
It seems that I have to take Lou Yuchen to the Longxiu store to customize clothes.
