The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Generous, Zhou Caishen only enters the private room when he comes to our place. I specially reserved it for him several times. He is very generous and polite. Although he has come many times, he never torments people."

"Zhou Caishen's wife? Of course I've seen it before, but they were probably still in love at that time. What does his wife look like? Needless to say, look at Zhou Caishen's talented appearance. You can find ugly ones. ?"

"Beautiful, really beautiful. Not only is she beautiful, she also has a very good temperament. You can tell at a glance that she is the kind of girl who comes from a well-educated and big family. She is very noble."

"I also have an impression of his friends. They are all handsome guys and beauties. But there is a short guy with a crew cut, a bad mouth, and a poor drinker. He was drunk several times and was taken away by others. Yes, yes, and... There is a tomboy..."

"Everything I say is true. Don't believe it. Let me tell you, we didn't take a photo together at that time. Otherwise, humph..."

Liuzhuang Hotel was always overcrowded for a long time, and 201 God of Wealth Hall was even booked. A few months later, Zhou Chen became the God of Wealth of Liuzhuang Hotel.

Liu Yi, the owner of Liuzhuang Hotel, and Zhuang Rong, the wife of the owner, were very happy every time they told people about Zhou Chen, saying that Zhou Chen would definitely come back to visit him in the future, and they would definitely take a group photo and hang it in the most conspicuous place in the hotel. Location.

As for the Pancake Monster with photos and group photos of Zhou Chen, it was even more popular. People started queuing up since it opened in the morning. Especially those photos with Zhou Chen in the store were watched and photographed by countless people.

This is a store that Zhou Caishen owns a stake in. Everyone wants to come and see what it's like.

Qin Chuan and the others were in such pain and happiness these days, with almost no time to rest from morning to night. The whole situation was spinning, and they had no choice but to recruit two more people, and even Qin Chuan's mother was called over to help.

This period is also the most profitable time for Pancake Monster. Taking advantage of the popularity, Qin Chuan took over a store in another district and quickly started decorating it, preparing to open it as quickly as possible and take advantage of this wave of popularity to make a profit. Wave.

Some time after Zhou Chen's talk show was broadcast, according to statistics, the number of real estate transactions in many areas across the country increased sharply. When interviewed by reporters, many people said that they were influenced by Zhou Chen before buying.

Even Zhou Caishen said that housing prices are going to rise. They have no other ability and they just listen to advice.

The group of people who are engaged in real estate love Zhou Chen to death. Affected by last year's financial crisis, the real estate industry is actually not doing well. However, Zhou Chen's unintentional advertising has caused a huge impact on the domestic real estate industry. recovery.

Because of the celebrity effect brought by Zhou Chen, it has a great influence, which also makes many people sigh that the influence of Zhou Chen, the world's top rich man, is really stronger than those of the kings and superstars.

…………

Wei Zhuo made an appointment with several second-generation people who worked in the property company together, plus Zhou Chen, the major shareholder.

The situation is completely different from the meeting a few years ago. Although the second generation did not look down on Zhou Chen in the past, they did not attach too much importance to him. They were more concerned about Wei Zhuo's face and more about Zhou Chen. For money's sake.

But this time, Zhou Chen has become the top rich man in the world of fame. They are still only the second generation, and their status is completely unequal, so they are very polite and respectful when they meet Zhou Chen.

With Zhou Chen's current status, let alone them, even the elders in their family have to be polite when they meet him.

Zhou Chen took the initiative and said: "Don't be cautious, we are all friends. We should eat and drink well as before."

Although he said this, except for Wei Zhuo, the others still failed to change. That is to say, after this time, he never had dinner with these people again.

However, Wei Hongsheng, who had helped him before, had a much more enthusiastic attitude toward Zhou Chen because Zhou Chen had helped his sister study abroad.

As for the real estate company they established before, it has done very well over the past few years. It is now one of the top real estate companies in Shanghai, and it has made a lot of money.

Zhou Chen, the major shareholder, did not take any money. He spent it all on development. The remaining money was also stored in a card by Wei Zhuo and handed over to Zhou Chen together this time.

After staying in Shanghai for more than half a month, Zhou Chen returned to the capital after finishing the matters here.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 1286 The Yang Family Shows Good Will, Three Years Later

After Zhou Chen returned to the capital, he went to the residence of Wang Ying's mother, his mother-in-law, and brought a lot of things.

"Mom, my friend in Shanghai brought these to me."

Wang Ying's mother said with a smile on her face: "I went to Shanghai and you still remember me, so you have your heart. But I don't need it, and I won't need to take it with me in the future. As long as you and Yingying can live a good life, I will be satisfied."

Although the Wang family is now in dire straits, she actually still has some savings and a salary from retirement, so as long as she is not too extravagant, she is not short of money to spend. Wang Ying always gives her money every month. She has never used it either.

Her current situation is that of a person who has no desires and needs. Every day she just visits Dao Zang, drinks tea, and grows flowers. She rarely even leaves the house. If it weren't for the inconvenience of living in the deep mountains and old forests, she would probably be willing to move there. Went to the deep mountains and old forests.

Wang Ying has persuaded her many times to move to the United States, but she has always rejected it. In her words, living alone is comfortable and comfortable, and she will not cause trouble in the United States. As long as Wang Ying and Zhou Chen are free, She would be satisfied if she could occasionally take the time to come back and see her.

"We'll have dinner at home later, and I'll ask Xiao Wu to buy some more food."

Although she did not accept Wang Ying's money, Wang Ying found a nanny for her, and she did not refuse.

"Row."

Just a moment after Zhou Chen agreed, his cell phone rang suddenly. To his surprise, the person calling him was Yang Cheng, whom he hadn't seen for many years.

"I asked Wang Ying for your phone number. I'm not the one looking for you. My dad wants to meet you and discuss something with you. Zhou Chen, you don't have to give me face. If you want to meet, then meet. If you don't want to meet, then refuse. It doesn't matter."

Yang Cheng's words were very polite, but also very unfamiliar. Their relationship was not very good to begin with, and they hadn't seen each other for so many years. If it weren't for his father's request, he wouldn't have made this call to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen guessed Yang Cheng's father's purpose, thought for a while, and finally agreed.

"Okay, then I will pick you up with the driver and you will give me your address."

"arrive……"

Zhou Chen didn't answer the phone behind his mother-in-law's back, so Wang Ying's mother heard it.

"Yang Cheng called you and his father invited you to his house for dinner?"

"Well, I have met Yang Cheng's mother, but I have never met his father. I don't know what the purpose of inviting me to dinner this time."

In fact, he didn't have a good impression of the Yang family. The reason why he agreed was partly because of his acquaintance with Yang Cheng, and partly because the Yang family was really powerful in the country, so it was okay to give him some face.

Wang Ying's mother nodded and said, "I shouldn't talk too much about your matter, but Yang Cheng's parents are not simple people, especially his father, who has a higher level than Yingying's father. I don't like talking behind your back. People, but you still have to be careful when communicating with the Yang family, they are not like Yang Cheng, who do things without talking about feelings and put interests first."

The Wang family and the Yang family used to be family friends. When something happened to the Wang family, the Yang family immediately distanced themselves from each other. Although Wang Ying's mother could understand, she must still feel uncomfortable in her heart. Since then, they have never interacted with each other again.

Zhou Chen is her son-in-law. This time the Yang family took the initiative to find him, she still wanted to remind her son-in-law. Her intention was very clear, not to get too involved with the Yang family.

"Mom, don't worry, I know what to do."

"Well, I can rest assured that you are doing things well. Although you are young, you are very methodical in doing things. You are more calm than Yingying's father and uncle. You have to remember that your status is different. Even in China, you are not the same. There is no need to have so many scruples, although the Yang family is powerful, it cannot affect you."

"I know, but I can't have dinner with you tonight."

"You will have plenty of time after you have dinner with me. You should get down to business first."

Before dinner, Yang Cheng and the driver came to pick up Zhou Chen.

"Does Auntie live here now? I'll go up to meet Auntie."

After Yang Cheng saw Zhou Chen, he first said hello lukewarmly, and then wanted to visit Wang Ying's mother.

Zhou Chen stopped him and said, "That's no need. My mother-in-law is resting, so don't disturb her."

Yang Cheng's expression changed. In the past, when their two families were on good terms, he and Wang Ying's mother were very good friends, but now, they don't even want to meet each other.

However, he was also getting older and was no longer as naive as before. He took the initiative to invite Zhou Chen to get in the car without saying anything.

In the car, Zhou Chen and Yang Cheng were both sitting in the back row. Yang Cheng took the initiative to ask something about Wang Ying. Zhou Chen responded in a polite tone, and then the two of them had nothing to say in common.

Arriving at Yang's house, Yang Cheng took the initiative to introduce his parents to Zhou Chen. Yang Cheng's father was in his fifties and seemed to be a very dignified and sophisticated man.

Although they were one generation higher than Zhou Chen, Father Yang and Mother Yang did not put on airs and were very friendly. They talked to Zhou Chen politely and took the initiative to invite Zhou Chen to the table for dinner.

Listening to Zhou Chen and his father chatting about the situation at home and abroad, Yang Cheng was really restless and wanted to leave, but he didn't dare.

He usually dares to stand up to his mother, but he is still very afraid when facing his father.

Zhou Chen couldn't guess the real purpose of Yang's father inviting him here this time, but since Yang's father was not in a hurry to tell, he was not in a hurry to ask, so he followed his words and chatted with him.

Be patient, he really has never been afraid of anyone.

Although Yang's father and Yang's mother are both well-known people, they found that Zhou Chen was very young, but not easy to deal with at all. He was very slippery and did not follow their rhythm at all. In the end, Yang's father was the one who fell in love with Chen. Unable to hold back his anger, he winked at his wife.

Mother Yang then said with a smile: "I heard that Chenxing Capital has established a branch in Chaoyang. Are you starting to prepare for domestic development?"

Zhou Chen nodded and said: "This is indeed our company's plan. Now that the domestic economy is taking off, we at Chenxing Capital naturally want to enter the country."

With Yang's mother at the beginning, Yang's father will have a lot to talk about next.

"This is a good thing. Nowadays, various industries in the country are booming and they need the support of patriotic businessmen like you."

"Uncle Yang is so complimentary."

Suddenly, Yang's father's tone changed, and he asked casually: "Chenxing Capital has developed rapidly after financing last year. It seems that it has established branches in many places this year. I guess the funds must be consumed very quickly, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Chen immediately understood Yang's father's purpose of inviting him to dinner, but he remained calm.

"Sorry, Uncle Yang, this matter is a company secret. Although I am the chairman and general manager of the company, the company does not belong to me after all, so this kind of thing cannot be disclosed."

Father Yang smiled and said: "I understand, it should be. Chenxing Capital has experienced one round of financing, and there must be a second round of financing, right? As far as I know, the parties in the first round of financing are all foreign capital, so what about the second round of financing?" Should we also consider domestic investment for this round of financing?”

Zhou Chen still said calmly: "If there is a second round of financing, it must be domestic. After all, although I am an American now, I have always regarded myself as a Chinese, and my family must take care of their own."

Father Yang was silent for a while, then no longer hesitated and said directly: "You are good friends with our Beibei, so I have something to say directly. Our Yang family is very optimistic about your Chenxing Capital, so if Chenxing Capital has a third For the second round of financing, can we, Yang’s, be considered first?”

Now that the conversation has been opened, Zhou Chen naturally can no longer pretend.

"Chenxing Capital has no plans for a second round of financing yet, but since Uncle Yang has spoken, I will also express my position. If the second round of financing is launched, under the same conditions as others, I will definitely support Yang. "

Yang's father's expression was stiff, but he quickly adjusted it, picked up the wine glass, and touched it with Zhou Chen.

"Then it's settled."

After the meal was over and Zhou Chen was sent away by the driver, Yang's father drank the tea made by Yang's mother with a serious look on his face.

What Zhou Chen said just now sounded nice, but he was so shrewd that he couldn't understand the implication of Zhou Chen's words. For him, just a priority is not enough.

"Who would have thought that a young man about the same age as Beibei could create such a big foundation? What happened to the Wang family, if we..."

Father Yang didn't finish speaking, but Mother Yang already understood what he meant.

"What we did back then was not wrong. Anyone involved in what happened that time would be in bad luck. The Wang family is not worthy of what we did."

Father Yang sighed: "Yes, I did nothing wrong, but it also cost us such a good opportunity."

Mother Yang frowned and asked, "Are you so optimistic about Chenxing Capital that you would not hesitate to lose face and take the initiative to invite a junior?"

Father Yang said in a deep voice: "We are in China, so we don't feel the power of Chenxing Capital. This Zhou Chen has a very good vision. Several companies invested by Chenxing Capital all have great potential. A venture capital that has only been established for a few years." The company can be valued at more than 10 billion U.S. dollars in its first financing, which is really amazing. I can guarantee that if they start a second round of financing, the valuation will definitely be more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. The financing time The later it is, the higher the valuation will be.”

"Although our Yang family is still very good now, we can't spend a hundred days. The Wang family is an example. After all, Beibei lacks experience and has difficulty controlling the Yang family, so we must have an investment that is sure to make a profit without losing money. Chenxing Capital is I think it’s the best choice, and they are very powerful abroad.”

"It's a pity that this guy is very cunning, and his politeness is a bit unfamiliar."

"But hasn't he already given us priority?"

"Hmph, it's just a scene. In the end, it's not him who has the final say. Let's not talk about others, just the Wei family in Shanghai or our family. Who do you think he will choose? Not to mention that the family in China that is more powerful than our Yang family is also There are quite a few, do you really think we are the only ones keeping an eye on him?"

Not far away, Yang Cheng, who was listening to his parents' discussion, looked very unhappy. At the same age, he was also a proud and arrogant person. Naturally, he was unwilling to be compared to Zhou Chen.

But no matter how unwilling he was, he had to admit that if it weren't for his past relationship, he wouldn't be qualified to have an equal conversation with Zhou Chen.

His parents were already preparing to arrange for him to work in an investment bank. He made a decision in his mind. He must do well and achieve results to let his parents know that even if he is not as good as Zhou Chen, he will definitely not be much worse. At least he can afford it. Yang's giant ship.

Just as Yang Cheng's father expected, since Zhou Chen returned to China, there were more people who came to him for the same thing.

But how could Zhou Chen, who had just completed the first round of financing, conduct a second round of financing? So when facing these people, Zhou Chen rejected them in a similar way.

After staying in the capital for more than half a month, Zhou Chen was ready to return to San Francisco after finishing the matters here.

Before leaving, he naturally invited Qin Chuan and the others to have a meal together, but he did not dare to go to Qin Chuan's shop. Instead, he booked a private room in the hotel to eat.

Zhou Chen, who returned to San Francisco, spends every day besides working with his wife and children, and he spends more time with his wife and children.

He has lived for many years, but only a very small part of his time was spent alone, because he has always considered himself to be a common man, and he cannot be alone all the time, so he likes to be with his relatives if possible. Together.

If he has no relatives, he will choose to find a woman to fall in love with and let her or them become his relatives.

Because loneliness is really the most terrifying thing in the world, especially for people who can live for a long time. If there is no sustenance, sooner or later one will go crazy.

When he was young, he didn't understand why people must get married and have children, but now he understands.

Humans are social animals, and there are only a few people who can endure loneliness. After getting married, having a significant other, and having children, people have more motivation to live and struggle.

Just like before, he didn't understand why some people committed suicide and always felt that death was better than living, but now he understands.

People who commit suicide have different reasons, but those who have no relatives may choose to kill themselves because they cannot bear the loneliness.

Although this kind of behavior is cowardly in the eyes of many people, you can also say that they do not respect life, but for those who are involved, they do not think so. Perhaps living is torture to them.

Zhou Chen likes this kind of life where he has relatives, someone cares about him, and he also has people to care about.

In the past, when he traveled through the film and television world, his first thought was to complete the task first, but now, he enjoys life first, and then considers completing the task.

Although they are all intended to complete tasks, the order is different and the meaning is naturally different.

The time spent with my loved ones passed quickly. Three years passed in a blink of an eye, and it was 2012.

Sitting in the first class cabin of the plane bound for the capital of China, Zhou Chen and Wang Ying held hands together.

Three years have passed, and the looks of Zhou Chen and Wang Ying have not changed much.

Wang Ying's appearance has not changed much, but she is much more mature than she was three years ago. In the past, she looked like a proud and aloof young lady, but now, she exudes a mature and noble person. Her temperament makes it obvious at first glance that she was born into a noble family.

This was her first return to China in five years since she returned to San Francisco in 07, so her mood was still a little fluctuating while sitting on the plane.
