Chapter 404 Money Is Life!

gt;

After the soup was boiling, Sayuri, the big eater, couldn't wait to scald the beef in the pot. While scalding the beef, she asked Zhang Pingan, "How have you been here these days? Have you had any romantic encounters here?" gt;

gt;

Zhang Pingan smiled and shook his head and said, "What encounters? I basically plan in my room every day and don't have time to go out. I want to have a romantic encounter. Before you come, I want to meet a cute girl and have a romantic love story. It's a pity that I have traveled all over Karuizawa and haven't met any cute ones. It should be said that I haven't met any cute single girls. Occasionally I see some cute ones, but they all have partners beside them, which is a bit regrettable~~" gt;

gt;

Sayuri smiled and said, "Is there anyone as cute as our Mai?" gt;

gt;

"What do you think?" Zhang Pingan responded with a smile. Mai sat next to her and listened to the jokes between Zhang Pingan and Sayuri. She didn't get angry about it, let alone suddenly getting jealous when Sayuri asked about the "chance encounter". It's just a joke, just laugh it off. gt;

gt;

Mai didn't want Sayuri to pester Zhang Pingan about some chance encounter, so she quickly changed the subject. "By the way, today's edition of "non-no" published an interview with a plastic surgery company. The chain plastic surgery company also said that I am the No. 1 plastic surgery model in the market. Did you arrange this?" gt;

gt;

Zhang Pingan nodded and said, "Yes, didn't I tell you last time? I went to the magazine to discuss something, and that's it. It cost 30 million yen in advertising fees to get them to publish this interview. But it's still worth it. I also saw it on Yahoo News in the afternoon. This report has been reposted. We are going to start pre-sale in a few days, and we don't know what the final result will be? "gt;

gt;

Sayuri raised her eyebrows and said, "You have invested nearly 100 million yen in Mai's photo this time, right?" gt;

gt;

Zhang Ping'an nodded, "Almost. I think it is worth spending 100 million yen. Mai's fame has risen a lot now. The last wave of publicity is to wait for the photo to be officially put on the shelves. I have asked the advertising company to contact some 'tr' to let them promote it." gt;

gt;

The total investment in a photo is as high as 100 million yen, which is absolutely unheard of. But such a thing actually happened next to them, and Hashimoto was also very surprised. gt;

gt;

For Japanese women, taking photos is not a bad thing, and there is nothing to reject. After all, it is a record of their youth, but it is the first time Hashimoto has heard of someone investing so much in a photo. gt;

gt;

Nowadays, the streets are full of Mai Shiraishi's publicity and so on. Nanami Hashimoto also knows that such publicity must cost a lot of money, but she really didn't expect to spend 100 million? gt;

gt;

Listening to Zhang Ping'an's hard work in promoting Mai, Sayuri smiled and said, "Are you really going to sell 100,000 copies?" gt;

gt;

Zhang Ping'an smiled leisurely and said, "That's for sure! Since it's an investment, it must be for making money. I spend so much energy and money on publicity. Promoting Mai's popularity is one thing, and I also have to think about making money. Just like you guys, enjoying the screams of thousands of people on the stage, the ultimate meaning is also to make money." gt;

gt;

Sayuri rarely asked a "naive" question, "But you are already very rich, why do the richer people think more about making more money?" gt;

gt;

Is this question really naive? That's not necessarily the case. Why do rich people want to make more money? Maybe>

Zhang Pingan ate a piece of beef, dipped it in the sauce and put it in his mouth. He was silent for a while before responding to Sayuri's question. "How should I put it? Maybe it's interest, maybe it's responsibility, maybe it's other factors that I don't understand yet. I worked hard to make money before I became rich. After making money through untold hardships, I found that making money is also a kind of fun. Just like you stand on the stage after practicing hard, and the reward you get is the touching feeling given to you by the public during every performance." gt;

gt;

"Rich people make money by investing money in a company, and they will feel the excitement of success when they see them hatch and grow. In fact, the principles are the same, it just depends on where you are. 's position, or your attitude towards life? Monks eat vegetarian food for three meals a day, and rich people eat delicious meals for three meals a day. Whether it is the pursuit of spirit or the pursuit of material, I think it is better to pursue freedom. I have lived my life happily, so that we will not waste our time as human beings in the world. As for those top rich people who start to pursue meaningful things after success, it is because they feel that there is no meaning in doing anything and then they start to look for meaningful things. Whether it is material or spiritual, finding a balance point that suits you is the real life. "gt;

gt;

Zhang Ping'an's long speech was boring to Sayuri, and Shiraishi Mai was indifferent. Only Hashimoto Nanami frowned and thought deeply after listening to Zhang Ping'an's words.gt;

gt;

Sayuri curled her lips to guide, "Why did you talk about "life"? The extension of this topic is too big, right?" gt;

gt;

Zhang Ping'an smiled bitterly and said, "You can only find the meaning of life after you have money, right? If you don't have money, you should find a way to fill your stomach before talking about other things. In a word, money is life!" gt;

gt;

Mai Shiraishi's final summary of Zhang Pingan, she tilted her head and said, "Money is life? Why does this sentence sound weird? Wouldn't it be impossible to live without money?" gt;

gt;

"It's not that you can't live without money, it's that you can't live! Let's not talk about this topic. The people who talk are tired, and the people who listen are tired." Zhang Pingan finally had to give up and call a truce. This topic is really important to them. It's a boring topic, because they are not the kind of people who can't get through it. Whether it's money or life, it's too boring to talk about during dinner. gt;

gt;

No money, can't live! Nana Hashimoto is the one who best understands the meaning of Zhang Pingan's words. There was a time when her home even had water and electricity cuts. She knew very well that she really couldn't survive without money. I just didn't expect that a rich man like Zhang Pingan could understand the meaning of 'money' so thoroughly. She really wanted to have a good chat with Zhang Pingan about the meaning of life. gt;

gt;

Because she felt that she had learned a lot from him through just two simple chats, so she wanted to talk to him about something in-depth. gt;

gt;

Hashimoto Nana said, "Heian-san, can I chat with you tomorrow?" gt;

gt;

Zhang Pingan nodded and said, "Okay, you can chat with me at any time." gt;

gt;

gt;

gt;

After dinner, the three of them sat in the hotel's leisure area and drank coffee. Zhang Pingan said with a smile, "Would you like to have a spa treatment after taking a bath? I can serve you in the room." gt;

gt;

Sayuri immediately responded, "Yes, I want to enjoy the spa!" gt;

gt;

"Okay, I'll make arrangements for you later. You go take a bath. I'm going back to the room." gt;

gt;

After arriving on the first day, they enjoyed the complete relaxation brought by the hot spring hotel. After doing the spa in the room, they all felt relaxed and fell asleep. Maybe they had a lot of travel during this period, so they were all very tired. This allowed them to sleep very soundly after being relaxed. gt;

gt;

The next day, they all got up early. Maybe they thought they didn't have much time to play here, only today, so they all got up very early. After getting up early and having breakfast, the four of us set out for some fun. Shiraishi Falls, Unba Pond, two famous churches, Shiraishi Mai and Sayuri kept recording their travels with their cameras. gt;

gt;

Of course Zhang Pingan and Hashimoto were also brought in for a group photo. However, Zhang Pingan spends more time as their photographer. A place with beautiful scenery, every picture looks like a photo! gt;

gt;

In the afternoon, a group of people went to Karuizawa's old Ginza to go shopping and eat. At the end of the day, they really felt that they still had more to do. And there are still many places in their hearts that they have not yet visited. Especially since I was pressed for time, I didn’t fully enjoy the places with beautiful scenery I went to. gt;

gt;

Sitting in the coffee shop, Sayuri looked at the photos in the camera. She murmured, "Which places with elegant scenery can really sit there and spend a day in a daze if it is summer? No wonder they are called summer places." Vacation destination.”gt;

gt;

"The summer resort is Hokkaido, Hashimoto-san's hometown, but I prefer Hokkaido in winter to Hokkaido in summer. The snow-white world and the people playing in the snow are like a fairy tale world." gt;

gt;

As Hashimoto, who was born in Hokkaido, the Hokkaido in her eyes is completely different from the Hokkaido in Zhang Ping'an's eyes. "Maybe it's the reason why I live in Hokkaido all year round. The winter there has always represented loneliness and coldness. For the residents of Hokkaido, snow is a very annoying but helpless thing.”gt;

gt;

Zhang Pingan said with a smile, "The loneliness and coldness in your mouth are irresistible factors caused by the natural environment. At least the residents of Hokkaido I see in my eyes are enthusiastic. So in my eyes, no matter how cold Hokkaido is, it is not as cold as Tokyo. Because the coldness in Tokyo is deep into the bones, which is the indifference of people. Just like Nana, it looks like the winter in Hokkaido. It is cold, but the heart is warm. "gt;

gt;

The three of them were all coming to Beijing from outside, so they were deeply touched by Zhang Ping'an's words. As for Zhang Pingan's last words to describe Nana, both Mai and Sayuri agreed very much, because she is indeed a person with a very warm heart! gt;

gt;

"Thank you." Faced with Zhang Ping'an's compliment, Lao Qiao covered his mouth with a rare embarrassed smile and laughed. gt;

gt;

Then Lao Qiao asked Zhang Pingan, "Ping'an Sang, have you read any works recently? I like reading very much, and I would like you to recommend two books to me." gt;

gt;

"Do you think I look like a person who studies?" Zhang Ping'an said with a smile. "The only books I read are comics like Sayuri. As for literary works, I don't have that preference. If I really want to recommend it, just the recent good comics. "Escape is shameful but useful"!
