The next day afternoon.
Tang Xiu accompanied Ouyang Lulu to wander around, tasting delicious dishes, shopping, and watching movies. No one made him out of any kind, yet he was now a celebrity-like figure and many people remembered him. Hence, he took the time to use special means to change his appearance.
Throughout the day, Ouyang Lulu, who was like a female demon in the eyes of many people, turned into a happy little girl beside Tang Xiu, enjoying herself with her heart cheerfully.
As dusk came, Tang Xiu brought her back to the Blue Starfish Mansion which was already decorated with lanterns to welcome the coming night. Resorts that used to have multiple guests now have a constant stream of visitors coming in at this point.
“They are all successful people who give their appearance.” Tang Xiu's gaze swept over the surrounding guests and muttered with a smile.
“Heh, what figure is successful? They just pretend and show off. ”Ouyang Lulu reprimanding with curved lips. “And it is really a successful person here because you will not show off easily even though you get billions of wealth. You don't even show off even though you have extraordinary abilities. It was not that they also knew nothing about their surnames with their little money. ”
“That's a far-fetched comment and quite extreme, Lulu.” Tang Xiu chuckled and said, “I know you want to praise me, but you don't have to attack others like that either, do you? In addition, for ordinary people, the parameters of success are having money and status. That's rule. Don't say the whole world, there are more than a billion people in China alone, but how many of them are really rich and powerful? They could be some higher-ups, which in itself showed their abilities. As for the flaws ... Everyone has them, right? We are not saints or saints, so there is no need to look at such a narrow person. ”
Ouyang Lulu raised her chin and hummed. “Hmph, none of them are better than you in my eyes. And those who will receive recognition of my rights. ”
Tang Xiu shook his head with a wry smile. He has 10,000 years of experience and life stories, it's not an egg-to-egg comparison, as it's literally. However, such devotion and love kept him warm inside. He grabbed the woman's fragrant shoulders and smiled walking side by side into the interior.
Auctioneers. Various communities have various types of this auction. For example, this one. It was auctioning off some strange things. Although some of the objects are very valuable, most of the guests are local residents of Shanghai and some come from neighboring cities.
“Tang Xiu!”
With directions from the attendant, Tang Xiu and Ouyang Lulu had just entered the auction venue when she heard someone call her name. He was a little surprised and a little surprised. It must be noted that he has changed his appearance. Unless it was someone who was very close to him, others would find it difficult to recognize him.
“Gu Changmin?”
Tang Xiu shifted towards the direction of the voice and suddenly saw Gu Changmin and Jin Xingkui coming towards him. However, he was well aware that they looked a little surprised at his current appearance.
Tang Xiu let go of Ouyang Lulu's shoulder and smilingly walked over. “Hey, Brother Gu and Jin! I never thought I would meet you two here today! What are you doing here, planning to take some treasures? ”
Gu Changmin and Jin Xingkui exchanged looks and wore strange expressions. The first one then asked. “Well, we thought we saw someone with your likeness, so we called. But when we saw your face, I thought I was calling the wrong person, you know! What's with this appearance .. ”
“Blame that celebrity effect. I had to change my appearance a little so as not to be recognized by others. “Tang Xiu smilingly replied,” You two know I never liked attention, right? ”
Gu Changmin and Jin Xingkui quickly understood, and the former chuckled. “That's very very very you, Brother Tang. You are always humble. But that's why your older brother admires you. Which young man hated showing off and bragging about his current achievements? You're quite the opposite, but your low-key efforts are like hacking people, you know. ”
Jin Xingkui, on the other hand, smilingly said, “Yes, you always make a lot of money and accumulate wealth while still being humble, Brother Tang. Anyway, you really pissed me off, you know. We've worked together on this project and half of it has been done, but you've never been to a construction site at all. You never even took the time to visit my company. The way you act like a shopkeeper who only asks others to do his bidding is too excessive, right? ”
“Hehe, then why should I have you, Brother Jin?” Reply Tang Xiu smiled. “In addition, if you are someone I do not trust, I will check the workplace three times a day.”
Tang Xiu's reply made Jin Xingkui happy and laughed. After which, he smirked saying, “It made my hard efforts and hard work worth it, Brother Tang. But rest assured. Our project went smoothly and we could start earning at most half a year. You can wait until the money comes in! ”
Tang Xiu gave her a thumbs up and praised. “Very fun and fun working with you, Brother Jin. Anyway, how about we grab a drink after the auction? ”
“Alright with me!”
“Seal!”
Soon after, some prominent businessmen in Shanghai saw Gu Changmin and Jin Xingkui chatting with Tang Xiu. Each of them came to greet them one after another. But Tang Xiu himself did not want to chat with these bystanders, so he made an excuse and left. He and Ouyang Lulu then casually picked up some random seats at the auction venue.
“Holy ... this boy is just ..”
Gu Changmin shook his head and looked at Tang Xiu's back as he left while muttering with a dry smile.
Jin Xingkui narrowed his eyes and whispered, “Like his usual attitude, Brother Gu. Again, we are not going to get our place in the world today. ”
“Hah? What do you mean by that? ”Gu Changming was stunned and asked with a puzzled expression.
“Have you ever thought that if he had a show-off character, then he would get countless business opportunities coming to him given his ability and identity?” Jin Xingkui said. “Which rich boss would not want to cooperate with someone with abilities and identity like him? I dare say that many people all over Shanghai, regardless of the industry, will surely wave their checkbook just to cooperate with it and join their efforts. ”
Gu Changmin nodded. Then, he spoke with a wry smile, “True that. Even if we disregard his abilities, just his identity alone is enough to make many people gather around him while putting a lot of money into his pocket. But speaking of that, I greatly admire this young man. Just imagine which one of them descended from a prominent family in the capital did not depend on their status and background? They got dividends and support from other companies, but what about Tang Xiu? He never did anything like that. I think he won't even glance at the money sent by others to his door. ”
“Ya, that's what scared him.” Jin Xingkui sighed. “He never proactively demanded money from others, and it is likely that he would not receive money sent by others either. Even then, he had only relied on his own abilities to set up the fast-growing Magnificent Tang Corporation. The amount of wealth he produced .. was definitely hundreds of times more than the second generation officials who took dividends from other companies. Speaking of that, Tang Xiu must have become richer than us by now? ”
Gu Changmin gave a firm nod in response and said, “Yes. My estimate is that only the Magnificent Tang Corporation alone might be worth over 50 billion yuan. ”
“It's been that much?” Jin Xingkui was shaken, disbelief overflowing from his eyes. It should be noted that Magnificent Tang Corporation has just been established — just over a year. How could it make so much profit in just a short period of time? No matter how great their product is and their demand far exceeds supply, it shouldn't happen that fast, right?
Gu Changmin continued with a strange face. “But, aren't you working with Magnificent Tang Corp now? Don't tell me you didn't know this company was now investing in Star City? Only, the investment of the project would probably give them a profit of tens of billions of yuan. Their products make money much faster than bank printing machines. I even think that my previous assessment of Magnificent Tang Corp of 50 billion yuan is still far from its true value. ”
Jin Xingkui also thought about it but still felt that Gu Changmin was exaggerating the facts. He had learned some facts about the Magnificent Tang Corp. himself. The company has a low output for each product. The respective prices may be very expensive, but it is unlikely that the annual profit is at 20-30 billion. Moreover, it was unlikely that the investment returns from Star City would reach 50 billion!
“Brother Gu, it is impossible for Magnificent Tang Corp to have a total net worth of 50 billion. Unless Tang Xiu also has other investments, ” Jin Xingkui said seriously.
“You are usually very smart, why are you being so silly now!” Gu Changmin with a strange expression. “What about real estate developed by your own company? Is it without investment? Furthermore, have you also forgotten the fact that he is the owner of the Eternal Feast Hall? Hao Lei of the Grand Fortune Jewelry was also his subordinate. Now calculate for yourself just how much value the assets of the Eternal Party Hall and Grand Fortune Jewelry combined are? ”
Gasp …
Only then did Jin Xingkui suddenly realize that he was underestimating Tang Xiu's wealth too much. Leaving the Eternal Party Hall and Grand Fortune Jewelry, Tang Xiu invested in his company and the income six months later would become a big figure as well. Who knew if Magnificent Tang Corp had any other investments? If anything, it would only .. let alone 50 billion, even the possibility of it only staying hair of 100 billion.
“It really sits on a mountain of gold!” Jin Xingkui smiled wryly and sighed.
Gu Changmin smirked said, “Whether he is sitting on a golden mountain or not, just with his identity and background alone and the fact that we are on good terms with him is already the luckiest thing. All right, let's just wait for a minute tonight. I need to talk to him about working with him. I hope he will be interested. ”
“You want to cooperate with him? Do you have a good project? ”Jin Xingkui surprised.
“I am quite optimistic about the recent logistics prospects,” Gu Changmin said with a smile. “I will set up a large domestic logistics company. Be it delivery speed or coverage area in China, I will press some other big logistics company. If Tang Xiu is willing to join, I can use his identity and background to negotiate with some e-commerce business owners. What do you think? Will e-commerce business owners give us a few pieces of pie even if they have their own logistics network? ”
Jin Xingkui trembled with a wry smile and shook his head after hearing this. Then, he immediately said, “You really robbed their food. Those e-commerce people would never bother to glance at you if there was no Tang Xiu. That's for sure.”
“However, why should we waste Tang Xiu's identity?” Gu Changmin smirked.
