Chapter 468: Chapter 468: This is No Longer About Money Chapter 468: Chapter 468: This is No Longer About Money The McLaren owner looked baffled. He genuinely couldn’t figure it out.
Everyone was driving an Audi, and his Audi was even a bit more worn out, so how did Chu Chen manage to take four top-tier beauties with unique charms to dinner?
But he himself only got “cordial greetings” about his family from the beauties?
When he drove the McLaren, there was a seventy to eighty percent success rate of getting a date.
But once he started driving the Audi, he didn’t even have a ten percent chance.
Why was that?
Everyone was driving an Audi, so why was he so outstanding?!
…
In the restaurant, after treating Han Shishi and the others to dinner, Chu Chen returned to the villa.
The next morning, the company had already sent a bottle of Emperor Han Moutai to Chu Chen, acting quickly.
It was just unlucky that Chu Chen received a call from Gao Zhengqi, who invited him over for a drink.
Having purchased so many top-notch wines, Gao Zhengqi couldn’t resist inviting a few old friends over for a drink and gathering.
Of course, Gao Zhengqi also wanted to show off a bit in front of his old friends.
“Alright.”
Chu Chen agreed with some regret this time.
Besides the bottle of Emperor Han Moutai, none of the other wines had arrived yet.
So Chu Chen had no choice but to take the bottle of Emperor Han Moutai to Gao Zhengqi’s house.
By the time Chu Chen arrived, several of Gao Zhengqi’s old friends were already there.
More than half of them, Chu Chen knew.
“Mr. Chu is here.”
“Hello, Mr. Chu.”
Seeing Chu Chen, Gao Zhengqi and the others greeted him warmly.
“It was a bit rushed, so I didn’t bring anything special, just this bottle of Emperor Han Moutai for Brother Gao.”
Chu Chen said, considering it a return gift.
After all, Gao Zhengqi gave him wine worth tens of millions.
Emperor Han Moutai?
Hearing the name, Gao Zhengqi and the others instantly became interested.
They had all heard about the origins of the Emperor Han Moutai.
“Brother Chu, you’re too kind.”
Gao Zhengqi said with emotion.
If it were anything else, Gao Zhengqi would surely decline, but as for Emperor Han Moutai, he really couldn’t refuse.
It was too precious.
“Mr. Chu is indeed generous.”
“Mr. Chu is so generous, I am impressed,”
Several of the Shanghai moguls exclaimed, equally excited to taste the legendary Emperor Han Moutai today.
Knock, knock, knock.
A knocking sound came, bringing more guests.
Gao Zhengqi went to open the door.
The villa door opened, and two men walked in.
One was an older man, the Shanghai tycoon Ning Jingwei, a friend of Gao Zhengqi.
The other was an unfamiliar young man, late twenties or early thirties.
“Hello, Ning, welcome, welcome.”
Gao Zhengqi said politely.
“And this is?”
“This is Shi Hongxuan from the Shi Family in Hong Kong, Mr. Shi.”
Ning Jingwei explained.
“Mr. Shi is from the well-known Shi Family in Hong Kong, who are preparing to invest in Shanghai after his recent inspection visit.”
The Shi Family in Hong Kong was a famous wealthy clan, involved in real estate, film and television, and jewelry among other industries.
Though their fame couldn’t rival the immense and prestigious Ji Family in Yue City, they were still quite well-known.
“Oh, it’s Mr. Shi, welcome, welcome.”
“Mr. Gao overly polite, this bottle of Emperor Han Moutai is a bit of my goodwill.”
Shi Hongxuan said, as he handed over a carefully prepared bottle of Emperor Han Moutai.
Today, he had entrusted Ning Jingwei to bring him here.
He aimed to acquaint himself with Gao Zhengqi, a financial giant in Shanghai, to facilitate future developments of the Shi Family in the city.
Therefore, Shi Hongxuan specifically inquired about Gao Zhengqi’s preferences, and it took considerable effort to obtain a bottle of Emperor Han Moutai.
Shi Hongxuan believed that with this bottle of Emperor Han Moutai, Gao Zhengqi would hold him in high regard and be very welcoming.
Emperor Han Moutai?
Seeing the wine being handed over by Shi Hongxuan, Gao Zhengqi was somewhat surprised.
Not only Gao Zhengqi, but several other Shanghai tycoons also looked over.
Did this Shi Hongxuan bring Emperor Han Moutai as well?
Noticing the curious looks of Gao Zhengqi and the others, Shi Hongxuan asked,
“What’s the matter?”
“Nothing, nothing.”
“It’s quite a coincidence, Mr. Chu also brought a bottle of Emperor Han Moutai earlier.”
“We’re blessed today, we have two bottles of Emperor Han Moutai to enjoy.”
Said a few Shanghai moguls.
Hmm?
“So that’s how it is.”
Although Shi Hongxuan appeared calm on the surface, he was very agitated inside.
Someone else had already brought Emperor Han Moutai?
And they came even earlier than he did?!
Shi Hongxuan shot a hostile look at Chu Chen, filled with strong animosity.
Since someone else delivered it before him, the effect of his bottle of Emperor Han Moutai was greatly diminished.
Shi Hongxuan felt some resentment towards Chu Chen.
Gao Zhengqi invited both of them inside.
With everyone invited present, the banquet started, and people chatted while they ate.
Slowly, the conversation shifted to real estate.
Among those present, most were wealthy tycoons very familiar with Shanghai, but not quite as much with Hong Kong or Yue City.
Seizing this opportunity, Shi Hongxuan began to speak extensively.
“In Hong Kong, it’s hard to make a living in real estate because of the giant Ji Family, which bars anyone else from getting involved.”
Shi Hongxuan sighed, as the Shi Family also dabbled in real estate but focused more around Hong Kong, Yue City, and adjacent areas.
“As long as the Ji Family stands strong, no one can break into Hong Kong real estate.”
With the “richest Chinese,” the patriarch of the Ji Family around, their status was nearly unshakeable.
“That’s right.”
“It’s too difficult to break into Hong Kong real estate.”
“Then what about Yue City?”
Someone asked.
“Yue City is tough too, but compared to Hong Kong, it’s much better.”
Shi Hongxuan replied.
“By the way, I heard there’s a huge estate in Yue City with quite spectacular scenery, even rivaling the Tang Palace. Is that true?”
Gao Zhengqi curiously inquired.
Hearing this, Shi Hongxuan’s face revealed a proud expression.
“Of course, Dayi Villa is definitely more luxurious than Tang Palace, reputed to be among the top ten luxury homes in the country.”
“The word ‘Great’ and the numeral ‘One’ from the names of the Chuang Tzu and Tao Te Ching form the character ‘Sky,’ which when dissected means ‘the unity of heaven and man.'”
Shi Hongxuan explained to the others with great detail,
“The environment of Dayi Villa is unparalleled, a piece of artistic craftsmanship, a fairyland on earth.”
“To provide residents with top-tier service, Dayi Villa deliberately crafted a rare ‘seven-star aristocratic experience’ platform, world-class.”
After much buildup, Shi Hongxuan finally got to the main point.
“A few years ago, our Shi Family was fortunate to acquire a villa in Dayi Estate.”
Shi Hongxuan, having had some wine, began to float and boast.
After Shi Hongxuan’s spiel, everyone found themselves deeply longing for Dayi Estate.
“Is there any way to procure one now?”
A wealthy Shanghai man asked.
“Money is not an issue.”
“Yeah, I’m interested in grabbing a villa at Dayi Estate too.”
Hearing the several tycoons’ inquiries, Shi Hongxuan shook his head.
“When Dayi Estate was first built, it might have been possible, but now it’s absolutely impossible.”
Shi Hongxuan said proudly.
“It’s not just a matter of money anymore.”
