Chapter 184: Chapter 184 Take Care of Your Health_1
Shen Dong nodded, "If it’s in the same direction, of course there’s no problem, but if it’s not, then there’s nothing we can do, after all, we are already late, and it wouldn’t be good to delay too long."
Su Qingyu said, "I’m going to the Shenlan Club on Wanli Road."
Chen Yuyan was startled and then happily said, "You’re also going to the Shenlan Club on Wanli Road? What a coincidence, we are heading there too."
Su Qingyu was also taken aback, "You’re also going to Wang Xiaocong’s birthday party?"
"Yes, yes." Chen Yuyan nodded repeatedly, "Get in the car, let’s go together."
The three of them got into the car and headed for the Shenlan Club.
...
Shenlan Club.
Wang Xiaocong, Zhou Chengyu, and Wan Pengfei were sitting together chatting.
"Why hasn’t Shen Dong arrived yet? Mr. Wang, could you give him a call and check?" Zhou Chengyu said.
"There’s no need to call; he just texted me saying he was rear-ended on the road and will arrive later," Wang Xiaocong said.
"That explains it. Whenever we have a gathering, unless something comes up, he would never be late," Zhou Chengyu agreed with a nod.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Wan, the two of you have invested in Shuidilao, and with Shuidilao being so popular, you must be feeling fantastic every day," Wang Xiaocong said enviously.
He knew that the two of them, along with another guy named Li Kaiyao, had invested in Shuidilao.
With new locations opened in four first-tier cities, the scenes were still bustling, and without queueing, you couldn’t even get in for a hotpot meal.
Industry analysts estimated that once Shuidilao opened stores in second-tier cities, the valuation would exceed ten billion.
Zhou Chengyu and Wan Pengfei had invested in Shuidilao and held fixed shares.
Such projects were truly hard to come by, even with a lantern in hand.
Zhou Chengyu and Wan Pengfei managed to invest successfully through their relationship with Shen Dong, getting a chance others would kill for.
Many were envious of their good fortune.
Wang Xiaocong owned an investment company and had invested in numerous projects, but very few were profitable, and overall, it was still a loss-making situation.
Though his family was wealthy and the lost money was inconsequential,
the feeling of losing money was still extremely unpleasant.
"Haha, indeed, it’s delightfully gratifying," Wan Pengfei laughed.
"It was Shen Dong’s generosity that allowed us to invest. You should know he’s not short of money, and he rejected many large consortia that wanted to invest," Zhou Chengyu felt truly grateful to Shen Dong in his heart.
"Yes, he considered us good friends and that’s why he let us invest," Wan Pengfei agreed.
"Ah, if only I had met Shen Dong earlier and become friends with him, investing in Shuidilao would have meant just sitting back and collecting money," Wang Xiaocong sighed.
"Mr. Wang, you don’t have to feel that way. Hasn’t your investment company put money into quite a few projects? Once those take off, you’ll be able to start collecting money," Wan Pengfei laughed.
"The projects I’ve invested in, even if they really do take off, won’t make much money," Wang Xiaocong said with a bitter smile.
"Since you’ve invited Shen Dong here, you’re his friend now. If Shen Dong has any future projects he’s willing to share, you could participate," Wan Pengfei comforted him further.
"That’s true, it’s not too late to know Shen Dong now; there will be plenty of chances in the future. He’s recently invested in shooting a movie and has already promised me a little investment quota, haha."
Wang Xiaocong couldn’t help but be happy upon remembering that Shen Dong had already given him a small investment quota for "I Am Not a Pharmacist."
He believed that with Shen Dong’s discernment, "I Am Not a Pharmacist" was sure to make money.
Xu Zheng had also said that "I Am Not a Pharmacist" could very well be the next box-office dark horse following "The Battle Tiger."
"Right, then congratulations," Zhou Chengyu and Wan Pengfei said.
They also knew that Shen Dong had invested in the production of "I Am Not a Pharmacist," without asking Shen Dong about the amount of investment.
They had already taken shares in Shuidilao, and it wasn’t good to ask Shen Dong for more at the moment.
"Speaking of which, Shen Dong’s development is truly admirable. He came up with nothing—no background, no connections—just on his own, and he made it big."
"In less than a year, he achieved what he has now, both Dongyan Guild and Shuidilao are blockbuster hits."
"Last year, he even acquired the Ghana gold mine from Xijiang Gold Company for thirty million and later sold it to Dongshan Gold Company for one billion three hundred million, making a clear ten billion profit."
"That investment shocked the entire investment world; many investment tycoons felt ashamed in comparison," Wang Xiaocong sighed.
"Shen Dong is indeed awesome," Zhou Chengyu nodded.
"I’ve never seen any of his investment projects lose money. Investing in ’The Battle Tiger,’ many people were skeptical, but in the end, it became a box office dark horse. We have to admire him no matter what," Wan Pengfei also remarked with emotion.
They still didn’t know that Shen Dong had already invested in Yikang Pharmaceutical, holding twenty percent of its shares.
If they knew this, they would probably be so shocked their jaws would drop to the ground.
The three were chatting when Liang Tianhua walked over with Liu Chao.
"Mr. Wang, this is the Liu Chao I’ve mentioned to you before, his father is Liu Jianping, the boss of Wansheng Venture Capital," Liang Tianhua introduced.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Wang," Liu Chao said with a smile meant to ingratiate himself.
The gap between him and Wang Xiaocong was too large, he couldn’t help but adopt such an attitude.
"The son of Liu Jianping?" Wang Xiaocong looked Liu Chao over, "I’ve had dinner with your dad. He’s still not over missing out on the Ghana Gold Mine Project."
"Yes," Liu Chao replied with an awkward smile.
The reason his father missed out on the Ghana Gold Mine Project was that he had fooled his dad into investing in a streaming guild.
He was also aware that this had turned his father into a joke within the investment community.
"When you go back, try to persuade your dad not to keep agonizing over it. What’s done is done; what’s the use of regretting now? It’s bad for his health, and he’s getting old, too. He should take care of himself," Wang Xiaocong said.
"You’re right, Mr. Wang. I’ll talk to my dad," Liu Chao forced out a chuckle.
"Mhm," Wang Xiaocong nodded and didn’t say anything more.
Just speaking this much to Liu Chao was already giving him a lot of face.
This was only because Liu Jianping had shared a meal with him.
If it were any other rich second-generation on the same level as Liu Chao, he wouldn’t have said so much.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Wan, hello," Wang Xiaocong greeted Zhou Chengyu and Wan Pengfei.
Zhou Chengyu was a super-rich second-generation at the same level as Wang Xiaocong; Wan Pengfei didn’t have as much money at home, but he had a profound background that made up for the lack of wealth, putting him on the same level as Wang Xiaocong and Zhou Chengyu.
Liu Chao usually couldn’t even come into contact with people of this status.
Now that he had the chance, he naturally wanted to make connections.
Zhou Chengyu and Wan Pengfei looked at Liu Chao and said nothing, their expressions very cold.
The incident when Song Qianqian slandered Shen Dong during the New Year, causing a commotion, had Liu Chao as the man behind the scenes.
They had already formed an alliance with Shen Dong; Liu Chao’s actions against Shen Dong made him their enemy, so naturally, they wouldn’t show him any good expressions.
That was only because Shen Dong hadn’t spoken up. If Shen Dong had asked them for help, they would definitely have used their resources to drive Wansheng Venture Capital, owned by Liu Chao’s family, into bankruptcy.
