Chapter 18 Two Big Shots!!
night.
ten o'clock.
The entrance to Zuixianju Restaurant.
Chen Le got out of the taxi and just paid the fare.
Upon closer inspection, Zhang Zihao, dressed in a suit, was waiting at the door, his attitude impeccable.
"Brother Le, over here!"
"Everyone's here, just missing you!"
"These two tonight are both very famous figures in Longzhou!"
Zhang Zihao laughed heartily and warmly greeted them.
He raised his arm, put his arm around Chen Le's shoulder, and walked inside.
Even long-lost brothers are not as close as him, which made passersby frequently turn their heads.
Chen Le smiled and didn't seem to mind.
As they walked inside, Zhang Zihao introduced the two important figures who were there that evening.
"Ahem, Brother Le, our first big guest tonight is the daughter of an e-commerce tycoon—Xiao Qiangwei!"
There's so much to say about this.
"She owns more than ten entertainment and media companies in this city, and three phenomenal online celebrities with huge fan bases are signed to her. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she makes a fortune every day!"
"Her father is also a big shot. Back then, he invested in Digital ByteDance, and acquiring traffic was easier for him than drinking water!"
Zhang Zihao began his introduction very seriously.
Their words revealed undisguised envy!
Back then, if you stood at the right place at the right time, even a pig could take off.
What's more, people?
"And the second one? Something even more important?"
Chen Le squinted, intrigued.
Since it's left to be introduced last, it must have an even bigger background.
"Brother Niu Wa Le, you guessed right!"
Zhang Zihao clicked his tongue twice and gave a thumbs up. "That's right! The second one is a genuine second-generation official, Chu Yaoyang!"
"His third uncle is the second most powerful man in Longzhou. When he moves, the world changes; when he doesn't, everything is as stable as a mountain!"
"but……"
Zhang Zihao added quietly, "This kid isn't very strong."
"He's in business, but he's involved in a wide variety of projects."
"I've dabbled in finance, stocks, venture capital, real estate speculation, and even as a distributor of Wuliangye and Maotai liquors, but the results have all been mediocre!"
Upon hearing Zhang Zihao's introduction, Chen Le made a calculation in his mind.
Leaning against the elevator wall, I slowly closed my eyes, and images flashed through my mind.
……
The two stepped out of the elevator and arrived at the door of a private room.
Pushing open the door revealed the scene inside.
The luxurious private rooms are opulent and glittering, with every detail lavishly chosen.
A man and a woman are sitting at the table!
The woman looked to be in her mid-twenties, with a good figure and outstanding temperament.
She wore a very youthful and beautiful skirt suit and a pair of expensive Valentino high heels!
At this moment, he was looking down at his phone, seemingly watching a live stream.
The other young man had a sickly complexion, but he was dressed in a suit and had a somewhat roguish look.
He was staring at his laptop screen, muttering curses under his breath.
These were none other than the two important figures Zhang Zihao had introduced—Xiao Qiangwei, a rich second-generation, and Chu Yaoyang, a second-generation official!
When Chen Le and Zhang Zihao walked in!
Xiao Qiangwei put down her phone, put on a warm smile, and immediately stood up.
"Mr. Zhang, is this the expert friend you mentioned?"
"Hello, my name is Xiao Qiangwei, nice to meet you!"
Xiao Qiangwei was graceful and extended her hand warmly.
"Hello, Miss Xiao, my name is Chen Le."
"Nice to meet you!"
Chen Le responded very politely and shook hands with the other party.
"Everyone's here, let's sit down, don't stand and talk!"
Xiao Qiangwei waved her hand, and the waiters immediately got to work.
The atmosphere was put on a good note, and everyone sat down with smiles.
"Yaoyang, stop playing around."
"The friend introduced by General Manager Zhang has arrived!"
"Say hello quickly."
Xiao Qiangwei frowned and reminded Chu Yaoyang.
"Damn it, this US tech stock is so damn bad! I just bought it with all my money and it's been falling ever since!"
Chu Yaoyang took a deep breath and cursed angrily.
He then impatiently raised his head, glanced at Chen Le, and immediately narrowed his eyes.
"Chen Le, right? I heard from Boss Zhang that you're very knowledgeable about stocks, and you're known for your sharp eye!"
"Always able to spot business opportunities ahead of time?"
"That sounds really weird. Are you into metaphysics?"
Chen Le smiled after hearing this and said, "Pretty much, I make my living by luck."
Chu Yaoyang raised his head, his face full of frivolous arrogance, and said indifferently, "Heh, relying on luck? Making hundreds of thousands by scalping concert tickets, that's quite an achievement."
"You're quite skilled in this line of work. Are you in the same line of work as those fortune tellers on the overpass?"
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean anything by it, I'm just curious how you identify business opportunities!"
Chen Le didn't speak, but pointed to his head.
"Oh? You figured it out with your brain?"
Are you trying to say that you're different from those charlatans?
"They're all frauds, and you're the real expert?"
Chu Yaoyang sneered a few times, his tone becoming increasingly contemptuous.
It was even tinged with sarcasm.
Zhang Zihao, his temper flaring, slammed his hand on the table and said gruffly, "Brother Yaoyang, you can't say that!"
"You haven't seen my brother's skills, otherwise you would definitely be convinced!"
"The way concert tickets sell out is simply unbelievable. I was in the thick of it and saw it all clearly!"
"Take mung bean futures for example, who could have predicted that?!"
"Don't forget, he was the real mystery buyer, the first one to purchase!"
"Original shares, 300,000, now bringing in at least tens or hundreds of thousands every day!"
"So he didn't save enough initial capital? Why don't you give it a try?"
From the moment I walked in until now!
Chu Yaoyang has never taken Chen Le seriously!
Zhang Zihao was very unhappy!
If the other party didn't have such powerful connections, he would have thrown a case of beer at them long ago!
Chu Yaoyang chuckled dryly, then said sarcastically, "President Zhang, that's all just what you say; I haven't actually seen it!"
"Since there's no evidence, let's just brag!"
"I could also claim to be a stock market guru, would you believe me?"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Xiao Qiangwei, who was standing next to them, wanted to speak up and mediate.
Suddenly, a calm and indifferent voice rang in my ears.
"Then, how do you want to see me prove it?"
Chen Le suddenly smiled and asked.
Xiao Qiangwei opened her mouth, but swallowed back everything she wanted to say.
She also wanted to see what Chen Le was capable of.
Is it really as mysterious as Mr. Zhang said?
If someone is that powerful, wouldn't they be a prophet?
It sounds like something out of a movie!
That's so cool...
Chu Yaoyang spread his hands and slowly smiled, "It's very simple. If you can help President Zhang make money, then why not help me too, and let me broaden my horizons?"
"For example, I'm not even sure if I'll make a profit or loss on the shares of Mego that I bought right now."
"Just tell me, will it go up in the next three days?"
"If what you say is true, I, Chu, am completely convinced."
A smile appeared on Chen Le's lips, and he said without hesitation, "Yes."
"And it won't take three days."
"It will go up tomorrow, and by a lot, big enough to surprise you."
As his detached words fell, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
The other three looked at each other.
They all looked surprised.
