251: The true value of China's richest man!
Over in Little Sunrises, Yui Aragaki was experiencing the same thing.
However, she didn't have any tasks; all her schedules had been completed before the new year.
Now, she was resting peacefully at home.
But unexpectedly, her immediate superior suddenly said there was an event she couldn't refuse and she had to go.
The destination was Hong Kong.
She felt some confusion in her heart, but didn't say much and set off on the journey to Hong Kong.
Just consider it a trip!
Wang Lin didn't know yet.
The moment he stepped onto Hong Kong, this financial capital, he had already stirred the hearts and minds of countless people.
chinas richest man!
Isn't that title loud enough?
Rising to the top by stepping on Goldman Sachs, he was an existence at the pinnacle of the financial circle that absolutely everyone knew about.
Now, he was personally inspecting the Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific Region headquarters.
It instantly attracted Okunomasa and Lee Jae-jik.
Both men genuinely wanted to curry favor with Wang Lin.
Because compared to this, what they had gained was simply too much.
In the previous battle with Goldman Sachs, they had obtained real estate trust projects counted in the hundreds of millions, and the unit was US Dollars!!
Therefore, the two of them flew over immediately upon learning of Wang Lin's arrival.
Kissing up to Wang Lin brought such massive benefits.
What Girls Generation, what Yui Aragaki; weren't they cultivated just to be used at times like this?
That afternoon, Okunomasa and Lee Jae-jik arrived in Hong Kong one after another.
The two of them called Wang Lin separately.
Okunomasa: "Brother Lin, I heard you came to Hong Kong. Coincidentally, I am here too. May I come to visit you, and let me treat you to a meal!?"
Lee Jae-jik: "Brother Lin, thank you so much for the profits you let us have in this trust battle. Today, upon hearing you came to Hong Kong, I specifically wanted to thank you in person!!"
Listening to their almost identical words, if Wang Lin didn't know they weren't on good terms, he would have thought they were best buddies.
"Fine, then come over. You know where the Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific Region headquarters is, right?"
"Understood!"
"Understood!!"
After notifying him, the two of them hurriedly rushed towards the building.
How could they not know where Brother Lin was? They just wanted to inform Brother Lin in advance to show their respect.
Ten minutes later, Russ Karl stood respectfully to the side, watching the two men who had arrived upon hearing the news, fawning over Wang Lin without any bottom line.
He naturally knew these two.
Both were top-ranking trust bigwigs in the Asia-Pacific Region—oh right, they should be even higher ranked now.
It was precisely because, under Wang Lin's leadership, they had carved up the empire Goldman Sachs had built in this region!
But he didn't dare say that.
Now, both sides were allies!
Over the course of about 20 minutes, Russ Karl had been observing their praise for Wang Lin.
One has to admire it; after all, he is the Chairman, isn't he?!
They knew how to bend and stretch.
In this place, they really acted out the essence of being a subordinate.
In a word, anyone who can help them make money is the Boss!
Wang Lin was that lead Boss!!
Lee Jae-jik chuckled: "Brother Lin, you are new here and aren't too familiar with this place. Why don't I host you today, and let's have some fun here!"
"I have already called the entire Girls Generation team over. Tonight, whatever dance, song, or whoever you take a liking to, like Im Yoon-ah or anyone else, these are all small matters!!"
Hearing this, Russ Karl didn't feel anything was amiss; he even felt it was very normal.
In Beautiful Country, this was already commonplace.
But Okunomasa, standing beside them, got anxious!
This good opportunity was all taken by you, Lee Jae-jik, so what am I supposed to do?
He hurriedly said: "Brother Lin, I wonder if you are interested in female stars from Little Sunrises? For example, Yui Aragaki?!"
He could only gamble now, gambling that Yui Aragaki's name had a bit of gold content in the ears of a college student.
The next moment, he knew he had won his bet.
Upon hearing the name Yui Aragaki, Wang Lin looked up at him.
This name was indeed familiar.
Wang Lin smiled and nodded.
Lee Jae-jik inwardly cursed him as an old fox, but his face still wore a smile.
That evening, while Wang Lin and the others were clinking glasses, the Girls Generation group and Yui Aragaki both landed on this land.
It was easy for Yui Aragaki alone; she just needed a casual disguise.
But the Girls Generation group, even with disguises, was just too conspicuous.
Because their figures and temperament were too outstanding.
Therefore, the agency thought it over and could only fob off the public by claiming they had a temporary event here.
But even for this reason, it made the fans in Hong Kong extremely excited.
"Did Girls Generation really come?"
"I saw that fans have already posted about it; they have indeed arrived. Those people, those figures and looks, it definitely can't be wrong!!"
"This is too exciting. If one could watch a Girls Generation performance in this world, that would be true happiness!"
"It probably isn't a concert or anything; could it be that some mall is opening?"
"Damn, damn, damn! I was originally planning to go out with my girlfriend tonight. Forget going out; I'm going straight to find my goddess!!"
Inside the InterContinental Hotel, in the largest luxury suite, the drinking and toasting had reached its final stage.
Russ Karl, Okunomasa, Lee Jae-jik, and the others all had obvious signs of drunkenness on their faces, but they still looked respectfully at the young man in front of them.
Wang Lin's face, however, showed no signs of drunkenness, just a slight flush, because no one here dared to force him to drink!
At this moment, he was in the perfect state.
Lee Jae-jik waved his hand, and after letting the Girls Generation team come up, he fawned: "Brother Lin, please enjoy!!"
After Girls Generation just walked in, they were also very confused.
Why was the boss of their boss so drunk?
And why was that mysterious man sitting in the C-position so young?
Today's banquet seemed to have been set up for him.
And before they came over, they saw Yui Aragaki, who also seemed to have come specifically to this place.
But they didn't have time to think about so much right now.
As the singing from the professional top-tier sound system in the private room started, they instantly entered the rhythm.
A song, Mr. Mr., viewed from up close, made even Wang Lin exclaim that it was satisfying.
They were truly a professional performance team, worthy of being a top girl group popular across Asia.
Im Yoon-ah, who was almost the same age as Wang Lin, displayed perfect youthful vitality.
The three men, who had been quietly observing Wang Lin's state from the side, all displayed different mindsets after seeing this scene.
Russ Karl instantly understood that his new master liked this type, or rather, had a little interest in this type; that was enough.
In the future, he could cater to his preferences!!
Lee Jae-jik was overjoyed; he had won his bet. No matter how much Wang Lin could stir up winds and rain in the stock market, he still liked young, beautiful, and cute girls.
Im Yoon-ah was even more incredibly popular in China.
Tonight, it would be her!!
Only Okunomasa was filled with resentment; if looks could kill, he would have killed Lee Jae-jik several times over by now.
"Damn it, this guy is cheating!! Why did you bring a dance troupe out!!?"
"It's just a pity that we don't have that kind of thing over there; could it be that I really have to bring over our adult actresses!!?"
"I wonder if Brother Lin has any favorite adult actresses? Teacher Cang? Teacher Ohashi? Teacher Bodo?"
While he was pondering, the song slowly came to an end.
Wang Lin applauded; it was indeed not bad.
Watching it in person from up close versus on TV, a computer, or even a phone, was a completely different visual experience.
Lee Jae-jik could sense that Brother Lin was still not satisfied, and he hurriedly said: "Quick, quick, quick, do another one, change to a different song and dance!!"
Next, Wang Lin was truly entertained.
One has to say, a top dance troupe is awesome.
This was absolutely a visual feast!!
Half an hour later, Wang Lin still felt unfulfilled!!
"Not bad, very perfect!!"
Seeing Wang Lin applaud, the others also hurriedly applauded.
The few girls from Girls Generation on stage could naturally see by now who the boss here was.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on Wang Lin.
Wang Lin pointed to the one on the front right, which was Im Yoon-ah: "You come with me later."
After that sentence, Lee Jae-jik hurriedly waved his hand, letting the rest of the people leave.
At the same time, he quickly ran to the stage and whispered: "Im Yoon-ah, you must remember what I told you before. Whether you can ascend to the sky in one step and make even me look up to you depends on your own performance!!"
Im Yoon-ah was completely dazed. She nodded, and amidst the envious gazes of the other girls, she timidly came to Wang Lin's side.
Lee Jae-jik smiled and said: "Brother Lin, look, we've had enough to drink today. Do you want to go to the second round? Or would you rather go up with Ms. Yoon-ah to chat and have a cup of tea?"
Hearing this, Okunomasa was furious.
Dammit, does this mean at this stage there's nothing for me to do?
Yui Aragaki is still waiting.
But he didn't dare to interrupt, and could only gaze longingly at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin felt like laughing when he saw this: "Alright, it's still early. You guys have had quite a lot to drink, but I haven't had much. Let Yui Aragaki come over too; we'll go together and experience the nightlife of Hong Kong!!"
With Wang Lin saying this, Lee Jae-jik didn't dare to say anything more.
Okunomasa, on the side, hurriedly signaled Yui Aragaki, who had been waiting in the corner, to come over.
Yui Aragaki was wearing a very oversized loose white sweater today, with a black sleeveless vest underneath and thick black tights.
It can be said that sexiness, sweetness, and cuteness were all gathered in one person.
This was Yui Aragaki.
Okunomasa triumphantly raised his eyebrows at Lee Jae-jik.
Whatever you, the Korean, have, I, the Little Sunrises, also have!!
Lee Jae-jik snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.
Anyway, their task for today had already been accomplished.
Making Wang Lin remember their kindness was enough.
They wouldn't go to the second round afterwards, nor did they have the energy to go.
Having drunk too much, they had to go back and rest now.
As for Wang Lin's protection, Junlin Finance naturally had it fully under control.
Hong Kong's Beijing Club!
As the largest nightclub in Hong Kong, it had been famous for its extremely luxurious decor since it opened in 2007, and the gold-plated toilets were especially shocking.
After Wang Lin and his group arrived by car, he had Im Yoon-ah in his left arm and Yui Aragaki in his right, looking every bit the playboy.
Inside the nightclub, Wang Lin unexpectedly ran into someone.
A very famous person from his past life, Young Master Wang!!
Come to think of it, Young Master Wang was actually quite impressive this year, had it not been for Wang Lin's blinding radiance!!
As the son of a former China's richest man, Young Master Wang was currently at the peak of his career.
Many projects under his Prometheus Capital had now reached the harvest stage, such as the 5x profit from Ledou Games, Tiange Interactive, Wuxi Lead, Forgame Holdings, Fu Shou Yuan, and so on.
It could be said that if not for Wang Lin, he would definitely be the leader of the younger generation in the Chinese capital market this year!!
However, because of Wang Lin's existence, he hadn't said that most famous quote of his this year.
"He doesn't care if his friends have money, because they're never as rich as him anyway."
Wang Lin's appearance shattered the rigor of that statement!
The entry of their group also caught the eyes of some people.
Whether it was Im Yoon-ah or Yui Aragaki, both of them had perfect figures that couldn't be hidden even with masks on.
As for Wang Lin, he didn't have any such hesitations.
He just came to have fun.
Not to mention, the various music, rhythm, DJ, and crowd control inside were all top-notch.
At the very least, Wang Lin really felt that it was quite exciting.
However, before long, a bartender sent over an expensive package and said, "Sir, these were sent to you by that gentleman over there!"
Following the direction of his finger, Wang Lin finally saw Wang Sicong.
Wang Lin raised an eyebrow, watching him stand up and head over.
Wang Lin pointed to the side, signaling him to sit down.
Wang Sicong had a hint of restraint on his face and smiled, saying, "My name is Wang Sicong. Sorry to bother you, Brother Junlin, but it's truly fate that I'm able to meet you here today!!"
Wang Lin smiled as well and said, "Young Master Wang, I know you. Prometheus Capital has been doing quite well this year!"
If anyone else heard this, they would probably be shocked to the ground.
But Wang Sicong understood that the other party was just speaking to him with the attitude of a senior, nothing more.
In front of Wang Lin, did he dare to say he was doing quite well?
So, after hearing this, Wang Sicong quickly stood up, poured a full glass of wine, and offered it to Wang Lin with both hands: "Thank you for your high regard, Brother Junlin. I am flattered. Meeting today is fate. I'd like to toast you; please, drink as you please!"
Watching Wang Sicong's proper behavior, Wang Lin could only sigh in his heart: Who the hell said that the children of big shots have no brains?
They are much, much smarter than children from ordinary families!!
This intelligence is manifested in every aspect.
Just like how he conducts himself now; even if children from ordinary families came here, they wouldn't be as comfortable as he is.
Of course, some might say that Wang Sicong is a regular here, and he comes here like it's his own home.
But facing Wang Lin, it wasn't that simple.
Having known Wang Lin's identity—an identity even more powerful than his father's—the fact that he could behave like this was already enough.
The commotion here also attracted the attention of some people.
Wang Sicong is famous, and everyone is used to him coming here.
But when have they ever seen him act like this in a nightclub?
Who exactly is that man, to be able to make Wang Sicong act so obsequiously!?
His father was the China's richest man in 2013!!
Yes, it was obsequiousness!!
Whether it was Wang Sicong taking the initiative to greet him or the scene of him offering a toast with both hands, it all shocked them.
Who the hell is this!!?
"Who is that person?"
"Don't know, but he looks quite young. Could he be a young master from some family?"
"I don't think so. Given Young Master Wang's strength, what family's young master would he be afraid of? And tell me, what young master would dare to be so flashy, coming here with two girls in his arms?"
"That's true!"
At this time, Wang Lin's identity as the China's richest man had not been heavily publicized on the Forbes list.
In Hong Kong, especially in this nightclub, not many people would pay special attention to it.
So they couldn't even imagine that this year's China's richest man would come here incognito!
After two drinks, and since the two were about the same age, the conversation quickly opened up.
The conversation between them was naturally about finance.
Wang Lin's few remarks made Young Master Wang feel that he had benefited a lot.
However, he also understood that he couldn't stay here for too long.
The relationship between the two hadn't reached that point yet.
"Then I shall take my leave, Brother Junlin. After returning to the country, I hope to have the opportunity to treat you to a meal!"
Wang Lin smiled: "Sure, let's chat later."
Wang Sicong's face was filled with ecstasy.
Then he respectfully took his leave.
Im Yoon-ah and Yui Aragaki, who had witnessed the whole thing, were stunned.
They naturally knew about Young Master Wang, the son of the China's richest man for the past two years, who acted very high-profile and was very active in the public eye.
But such a big shot was as docile as a kitten after seeing Wang Lin.
And the boss of their respective company's boss's boss was also like this towards Wang Lin.
Wang Lin, who exactly is he?!
After having a few drinks in the nightclub and watching the performance, the time quickly reached past 11 PM.
Although at this time, nightlife was just beginning.
Hong Kong was also brightly lit.
Wang Lin didn't want to stay in the nightclub anymore, so he turned and left.
Walking aimlessly along Nathan Road, this road located in the middle of the Kowloon Peninsula was a very famous road in Hong Kong.
Actually, he should have come with Leng Nuannuan and Li Yuanyuan.
However, both of them understood that Wang Lin needed to play along, and they needed to familiarize themselves with some matters at the Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific Region headquarters.
They couldn't just take over the Goldman Sachs branch here and be completely clueless.
They still needed to familiarize themselves with the specific business.
In the eyes of Im Yoon-ah and Yui Aragaki, Wang Lin was a very contradictory person.
He was clearly as arrogant as a brilliant pearl, but at this moment, he was like an ordinary person, specifically liking to join in on the street-side excitement.
Street snacks, artist performances, wandering singers, etc.
There were scenes of him stopping to watch.
The security guards from other companies who were quietly following and protecting him, like those ordered by Okunomasa and Lee Jae-jik to protect him, were all a bit puzzled.
Even though there were two very, very beautiful stunners beside him, he ignored them.
He wouldn't ride in a luxury car worth tens of millions, but instead walked slowly, interested in these street juggling tricks.
Can't understand it.
Maybe this is how rich people have fun?!
Of course.
After getting tired of walking around at night, Wang Lin finally brought the two women back.
A night of romance!
Must say, Im Yoon-ah and Yui Aragaki are truly beautiful.
Especially in this strange environment, in a strange team, it felt even more stimulating.
Wang Lin really rested until the sun was high before getting up.
Damn, couldn't handle it!
Even a threesome with the China's richest man was too much to handle!!
Oh right, he is the China's richest man!
Then it's fine, it's normal not to be able to handle it.
Wang Lin was resting, while Im Yoon-ah and Yui Aragaki brought back lunch from outside.
Various top-tier seafood, delicacies cooked by five-star chefs, were laid out on the dining table.
"Time to eat!"
"Brother Junlin, time to eat!!"
Two types of languages, Korean and Little Sunrises' language, were spoken softly by them.
It had a unique flavor.
Wang Lin, wearing a bathrobe, looked at the table full of delicacies, then looked at Im Yoon-ah and Yui Aragaki serving him on his left and right.
Wang Lin suddenly recalled the scene from his university part-time job days.
To save money, he ate the dishes left over from his part-time job at the cafeteria every day; he had no choice, eating whatever was left, eating whatever was made.
Wang Lin let out a long sigh.
It's all in the past.
Im Yoon-ah and Yui Aragaki, on the other hand, were quite interested in Wang Lin's sigh.
After last night, the two of them were more open-minded, but they didn't know what earth-shattering changes would happen to their future paths.
And to what level their status would rise!
Im Yoon-ah asked: "Brother Junlin, do you think these dishes are not tasty?"
Yui Aragaki also looked at Wang Lin curiously.
Wang Lin smiled and shook his head, stuffing a king crab leg into his mouth, and said: "No, it's just that I feel that saying is really quite right: if a man really wants to get rich, it only takes a year or two!"
The two clearly couldn't resonate with Wang Lin.
Wang Lin didn't care; he was just thinking about where to go to have fun today.
As for the matters at the Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific Region branch, he couldn't be bothered to manage them; let Leng Nuannuan and Li Yuanyuan handle it.
In the following few days.
Taking advantage of the last few days before the New Year, Wang Lin had a blast in Hong Kong.
He no longer looked at the stock market, nor did he bother to listen to his subordinates' reports.
Everything was left to the two of them.
Wang Lin was only responsible for enjoying himself!
Even, one day Wang Lin saw a scene where Jackie Chan was filming a movie.
In a tenement building in Kowloon City, Wang Lin saw Jackie Chan and Fan Bingbing.
During this period, Wang Lin also successfully made a cameo as an extra.
As for why he could make a cameo, it was naturally with the help of the "Face-Face Fruit".
What, looking down on the gold content of the China's richest man today?!
"It's really so interesting!"
"However, it's time for me to go home!"
"The New Year is coming soon!"
