Bai Chengfei is one of the most valued heirs of the Bai family in the capital, and also Bai Ru's younger brother.
Hearing others ask the same question, they couldn't help but raise their heads slightly:
"Let me tell you a secret: this prodigy of the Zhao family is likely to rise to prominence in the future."
"You guys know penguins, right? You know the legendary game, right? You know Ahri, right?"
"These are all businesses owned by this young master Zhao. He built them up single-handedly, and back then he hadn't even returned to the Zhao family yet. He single-handedly created these leading companies, and now they're dominating the internet industry!"
Upon hearing Bai Chengfei's words, the other guys couldn't help but gasp.
They also work for their families, but they only achieve some success by relying on their family's influence.
This young master Zhao is truly remarkable; he can pull off all these amazing feats single-handedly, making him a peerless genius.
"I'm so curious! Is he really that capable? Where did he get his money?"
"Where would his start-up capital have come from if the Zhao family hadn't helped him?"
At this point, Bai Chengfei continued his popular science explanation:
Have you heard of the show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire"?
The group of guys couldn't help but nod in agreement: "Of course we've heard of Brother Bai. My family sometimes watches his shows; they're much more interesting than other variety shows."
"At least I can test my abilities. I know how to do most of the questions, but there are some tricky ones that I really can't do."
"They wouldn't agree even if I wanted that million."
At this moment, Bai Chengfei couldn't help but smile again:
"That young master Zhao is the first contestant in this program to win a million-dollar prize!"
"Back then, he was just an ordinary person, and that's how he made his first pot of gold."
Upon hearing Bai Chengfei's explanation, everyone present felt a sense of sudden realization, but at the same time, their admiration for Zhao Chen grew even stronger.
"That's really impressive; most people couldn't do something like that."
"But what can one million do? It's far from enough to support his current businesses, each and every project requires a huge investment!"
"I heard that Ali raised 40 million US dollars in its first round of financing."
"That adds up to over 300 million RMB, right?"
"Then where did he get those hundreds of millions?"
Bai Chengfei laughed at this point: "They're really capable. They started with just one million, and then made a fortune in stocks, foreign exchange, and even during the financial crisis. They have an incredibly sharp eye and a very unconventional approach."
"The funds snowballed, growing larger and larger, until it became what it is now."
“They had already carved out a bloody path before they had the support of the Zhao family. Now that the Zhao family is backing them up, they are even more powerful.”
“My sister has been working with this guy for a long time and has made a lot of money. Our family is now in deep cooperation with this young master and a new internet project has started.”
Upon hearing Bai Chengfei's words, everyone else present couldn't help but look on with envy.
Good heavens, this young master Zhao is not only a prodigy, he's practically a god of wealth!
If I can get along well with him in the future, maybe I can make a good profit from him.
No wonder. Their family had told them before that they should get to know the Zhao family better, as it might be a new opportunity.
This is no joke; sometimes, a single word from a powerful figure can bring someone a fortune.
That's why, while the second and third generations were usually just watching Zhao Chen for fun, they now genuinely want to get to know him.
Moreover, the Zhao family's attitude is already clear, so everyone naturally knows what to do.
The Zhao family is not the strongest, but they can only be friends, not enemies.
After all, it's simply not worth it to be an enemy of such a powerful figure.
Meanwhile, some of the things Zhao Chen had done in the past were no longer kept secret and slowly spread throughout the banquet hall.
Since learning that Zhao Chen was actually the boss behind so many internet companies, everyone has been amazed.
After all, these companies are all very powerful entities that have recently risen to prominence.
Money came too fast. No one could see through the internet, this new product, or know how to make money in this virtual world.
Surprisingly, so many young people are willing to spend money on this.
And they became addicted to it.
Of course, the internet also has many useful features; the convenient communication method of penguins alone can save a lot of special costs.
Many companies are now using Penguin, and other companies have even launched enterprise versions.
This version was released much later.
Zhao Chen had already developed it, all for the sake of the market for industrial enterprises, to lay a solid foundation for this.
Many people present were already using it, but they never expected that the software they used most often was created by this young master Zhao.
Everyone couldn't help but be very curious about what kind of talent and ability this young master Zhao possessed.
Moreover, previously, we had only heard of him but never seen him.
Today we're finally going to see it.
"Brother Bai, I also watched that millionaire show before. The first person to win the prize was a fat guy. I remember it very clearly."
"Is this Qilinzi really that fat man?"
When his friend asked him this question, Bai Chengfei gave another explanation:
"Hehe, Young Master Zhao has already lost weight, and almost 100 pounds. He's a ruthless guy."
"Never underestimate people who can successfully lose weight; it takes a strong will and a great deal of self-discipline to do it."
Upon hearing this, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines once again.
Because of them, they had also heard many rumors about Zhao Chen.
Judging from all the rumors, this prodigy of the Zhao family, Young Master Zhao, is indeed a ruthless person.
Of course, besides these second and third generation heirs, there were also various rich and noble ladies present. After all, coming to this kind of event could also be an opportunity to make connections.
She might even choose her future husband.
Many of the socialites present couldn't help but start discussing it:
"Hehe, have you heard? This young master Zhao has chosen that chubby girl from the Shen family as his fiancée."
"How could he bring himself to do that? That chubby girl Shen Qingyue has finally gotten herself married."
"Hehe, I heard that Young Master Zhao is also a fat guy. I watched that millionaire show before. Did you know that he was the first contestant to win the million-dollar prize?"
"What a pity, I've seen that contestant before, he's a big fat guy."
"The Zhao family's prodigy is a fat man? Then he's a good match for Shen Qingyue."
The group of socialites and heiresses couldn't help but chuckle quietly, though they only dared to gossip about it behind each other's backs.
After all, my family had already told me not to offend them.
Just then, the banquet's main character, Xi Yu, arrived. Everyone eagerly awaited her appearance.
As a result, when they saw Zhao Chen, the group of socialites and heiresses couldn't help but widen their eyes.
