Chapter 227 High-End Bureau (1)

As night falls and the lights are dimmed, the ultra-modern Shanghai stock market is not silent because of the arrival of night, but is covered with a layer of gorgeous clothes, and the lights on skyscrapers of various shapes are turned on. The flashing neon lights on the roof of the Shangri-La Hotel are like the queen's crown, and the whistle of the ferry on the Huangpu River night cruise comes leisurely. It seems that everything can be thought of, but nothing can be ignored.

Yang Cheng didn't have the energy to appreciate the splendid night view, and dragged his tired body to a private club not far from the hotel. The club didn't have a signboard, and it was obviously not open to the public. Anyone who wanted to enter had to be led by an acquaintance.

Jack Ma greeted Yang Cheng with his friends in the lobby of the clubhouse. Seeing Yang Cheng get off the Rolls-Royce, he greeted him with a smile on his face, "Jason, I guess you are in this phantom car."

Seeing Jack Ma waiting at the door, Yang Cheng was also very frightened, let alone that he is now a serious billionaire, and his net worth is almost the same as his father's. Just because of his age, he can be Yang Cheng's father. Condescending to wait for myself, there is no way to justify it.

He quickly stepped forward, hugged Jack Ma, and said apologetically, "Sorry Jack, I kept you waiting for a long time. The traffic is too bad. The distance less than 1 kilometer was blocked for more than 10 minutes."

Jack Ma's signature smile was always on his face, and he waved his hand, "It's okay, I just arrived too, and I happened to see a Rolls Royce following behind, I guess it was you boy, I will wait for you here for a while, at your age Do you like such an old-fashioned car lightly?"

Yang Cheng was taken aback, and explained casually with a smile, "This is a hotel car, and I haven't bought real estate in Shanghai yet."

Jack Ma patted Yang Cheng's arm, and they walked inside together. Now Jack Ma is a veritable national idol in country Z, and no one on the road does not recognize that alien-like face.

Walking all the way to the center of the clubhouse, the waiters who were waiting on the side saluted the richest man with admiring eyes, and gave Yang Cheng a curious look. After all, the person who can be led by the richest man himself is still so young, a little handsome, very Isn't it surprising.

"House prices in country Z are rising rapidly, and we can't see the top yet. Taking advantage of the current cold real estate market, if you have spare funds, you can buy a property in the Shanghai stock market as an investment." Taking the elevator leading to the top floor, Jack Ma chatted.

Yang Cheng nodded in agreement, "I have studied the real estate market of country Z. After all, this is a characteristic of country Z. Bank mortgages have tightened, supply and demand have changed, market expectations have declined, and market demand and purchasing power have been in the past few years. Being massively overdrawn is the main factor that led to the rapid cooling of the real estate market in country Z."

Jack Ma looked at Yang Cheng in surprise, "I didn't expect you, an American, to study country Z so deeply?"

Yang Cheng didn't take it seriously, and instead joked, "Jack, did you forget that my Mandarin is better than yours?"

"Haha, you kid knows how to expose people's scars." Jack Makong nodded Yang Cheng and laughed.

When the two met again, it was a bit of a year-end friendship, and they had no scruples about joking with each other.

While chatting, the elevator reached the top floor. The beautiful waiter who was already standing at the elevator door led the two to the reserved private room. The bodyguards made other arrangements.

The heavy door of the private room was pushed open from the outside to the inside, and the guests who had already arrived stood up at the same time. Naturally, those who attended the Jack Ma dinner together tonight were not ordinary people. The business leaders who can only be seen are veritable high-end bureaus.

But at this time, he still put on a stereotyped smiling face facing strangers, and when Jack Ma introduced them one by one, Yu Feng from Juzhong Media, Huayi old Dong Wangjun, Shi Juren, several executives from Ahri Films, And Lin Ying, the beautiful CEO of Yunfeng Fund, is much more gentle and beautiful in real life than in photos,

Great temperament.

After some necessary and hypocritical courtesies, everyone took their seats. Jack Ma took the lead and spoke first, "Everyone here is a friend, and it's just a simple family dinner to welcome Jason. You don't have to be polite or restrained. Yes. Now, have you been surprised by Jason's Mandarin just now? I see Lao Shi is secretly relieved that he doesn't need to speak English anymore."

After Jack Ma pointed out the theme of tonight, he turned his attention to Johnny Shi, who was also a veteran rich man who had once been the richest man, jokingly.

Giant Shi was also a wonderful person. He slapped his smooth head and laughed at himself, "It's like killing me to speak English. At first, I thought about saying hello to Jason and retreating first. Now it seems that I don't need it."

In fact, when an entrepreneur has reached the status of Giant Shi, it doesn't matter whether he can speak English or not, but he can speak a few words more or less in order to deal with social situations. The reason for saying this is to stir up the atmosphere. The people who roll out of the table are good at communication.

Everyone laughed in unison, and Jack Ma joked to Yang Cheng beside him, "Jason, you have to be careful not to be bullied by Lao Shi."

Yang Cheng rolled his eyes, and smiled at Lin Ying, a beautiful woman who was arranged beside him on purpose, "President Shi relies on me, I rely on this beauty, everyone depends on each other!"

"Haha~" There was laughter everywhere.

I can feel that the laughter this time is from the heart, obviously I didn't expect Yang Cheng to defuse the joke like this, not only not embarrassing others, but also caught the topic very well, a simple sentence made everyone present look at me with admiration .

As the target of ridicule, Lin Ying didn't act like a little girl, but echoed generously, "Then I will rely on Mr. Ma. Anyway, I also eat with Mr. Ma, so I don't mind having an extra pair of chopsticks."

"Hehe, won't our big beauty be tempted?" It was Yu Feng who spoke, as the major shareholder of Yunfeng Fund and Lin Ying's immediate boss, he had no scruples about making jokes.

Lin Ying glanced amorously, looked at Yang Cheng with her hair pinned, and smiled softly. "Why not? I'm single too!"

Yang Cheng's eyes lit up, but he didn't dare to think wrongly about this kind of woman. A strong woman can't be touched easily. She can flirt with anything, but if she wants to have a real fight, it will be difficult to get rid of her Well, for Yang Cheng, who is aiming for a whole forest, Lin Ying is not enough to fascinate him.

"Haha, Jason, our big beauties have already said so, don't put on airs." Jack Ma's flattering skills are good, and with a single sentence, Yang Cheng was put on the fire.

Yang Cheng was not afraid, and directly countered, "Okay, I see tonight's family banquet will be changed to a bar, and I will go directly to the bridal chamber later. Besides, Jack, you and Mr. Yu are not allowed to give some dowry as natal family? I It’s good to see Yunfeng Fund.”

"Haha, well said, it's up to you, old horse." Shi Juan applauded, patting the table.

Huayi's Wang Jun even blew his whistle, and the atmosphere in the private room reached a peak.

As the heroine of the incident, Lin Ying smiled and said nothing. After returning to China for so many years, she has been out with Lao Ma and Yu Feng for various entertainments. She has long been used to this level of jokes, and she was right. For a single woman in her position, it is extremely difficult to find a decent man for pure love, and there are very few men who can match her. The man from Yuan is going to have a strong combination.

Yang Cheng is definitely the top choice among them, whether it is wealth background or appearance ability, it is more than enough to match Lin Ying.

"Well, please spare me and Lao Yu, we still have to keep the Yunfeng Fund for retirement, Jason, you are ruthless enough, it's not enough to take away our big beauty, and you still miss our coffin? People from Wall Street!" Jack Ma begged for mercy, meaning that this joke is over, and it would be too much to say any more.

Yang Cheng understood, curled his lips at Lin Ying beside him, and teased, "Have you seen what your boss is like? I think you can just resign and I can do it. From now on, all my investment in country Z will be handed over to you." Let's take care of it."

"No way, Jason, why did you become a headhunter all of a sudden? You came to me for digging." Jack Ma pretended to be dissatisfied, stood up and walked between Yang Cheng and Lin Ying to separate them, picked up the table On the decanter, he poured a glass of red wine for Yang Cheng, and then said, "You can't be so mean, quick, punish yourself with a glass."

Yang Cheng was speechless, picked up the wine glass, poked his head and said to Lin Ying pretending to be pitiful, "Yes, I accept the punishment, but you have to stay with me, big beauty, I'm doing this for you."

"Yes, together." Someone below booed.

Lin Ying was not pretentious, she clinked glasses with Yang Cheng elegantly, and then drank it generously.

After the joke ended, the waiter came in to serve the food. Jack Ma, who returned to his seat, took a piece of braised pork with his serving chopsticks to Yang Cheng, and introduced, "Jason, you can't taste the authentic hometown food abroad. The braised pork is a must, very authentic local braised pork, try it, there are sauced duck, crab powder egg, fried shrimp, dry roasted pomfret, dry fried eel are all home dishes, I will not give you caught."

"Thank you, I'll just come by myself." Yang Cheng hasn't seen authentic home-cooked food for a long time. Although he can also eat it in New York, it is not as solid as eating on the land of his hometown.

There are more than 20 dishes at a table, and you are almost full after tasting them one by one. Everyone did not talk about serious topics during the meal, but tried to gossip and gossip as much as possible, creating a harmonious atmosphere of gathering among friends, waiting for everyone After a round of eating, I started to drink and discuss matters when my appetite had a solid foundation.

Because of the joke at the beginning, the relationship between Lin Ying and Yang Cheng quickly drew closer. From time to time, she poured wine for Yang Cheng's vegetables, and this also added a boneless chicken claw for Yang Cheng, "Taste this, let's go with the wine."

Yang Cheng stuffed it into his mouth with a smile, put on white wine, took a sip, smashed the taste in his mouth, and said, "Jack, before I came, I learned about the acquisition of theaters from the people below. To be honest, the progress made me not very satisfied."

Hearing the topic raised by Yang Cheng, everyone put down their chopsticks tacitly and focused their eyes, because the next topic will be full of business opportunities, and no one wants to miss the opportunity to make money.

Jack Ma clinked glasses with Yang Cheng, took a sip of wine, and looked at the executives of Ahri Films with unchanged expressions, "I haven't really asked about this matter, please tell me in detail."

One of the **** managers smiled wryly, "Mr. Ma, Mr. Yang, it's not that we don't work hard, but that we face too many competitors, and we have to pay a huge price every time we conquer a place. So far, We're over 20 percent over budget."
