Chapter 208: Chapter 208 Welcoming the Richest Man
After dinner, Liu Yujuan headed home.
Not long after she arrived, she saw Zhao Yulu coming back.
"How did the job interview go?" Liu Yujuan asked.
"I got the job," Zhao Yulu said.
"Which company? I totally forgot to ask you this morning," Liu Yujuan said.
"Shengda Literature," Zhao Yulu said.
"How much is the salary per month?" Liu Yujuan was most concerned about the money.
"Mom, don't ask. No matter how much it is, you won't be satisfied," Zhao Yulu said.
"How do you know I won't be satisfied?" Liu Yujuan said.
"In your heart, only if I marry a rich man and you have money to spend will you be satisfied," Zhao Yulu said.
"How can you say that?" Liu Yujuan frowned.
That was plainly accusing her of being mercenary.
She didn't consider herself mercenary, but rather making the most appropriate choice.
"Am I wrong?" Zhao Yulu said.
"Alright, alright, you're right. Let's not talk about this. I want to ask you, are you really not considering getting back with Xu Yang?"
Liu Yujuan didn't want to argue about this issue, so she changed the subject.
"Mom, I've said it many times already," Zhao Yulu was truly tired of discussing this.
"Yu Lu, just listen to me, I..." Liu Yujuan tried to persuade her, but seeing Zhao Yulu's expressions, she quickly stopped that line of thought, "Okay, okay, I'll stop. You decide for yourself."
It seemed that the timing was not right; she would wait until her daughter's reluctance wasn't so strong before trying to persuade her again.
...
The next day.
Xu Yang arrived at Yang Xin Investment Company by nine in the morning.
Today, he had to go to Hui'an Medicine to sign a contract to sell shares.
Shortly after arriving at the company, Xu Yang's phone began to ring.
"Old Wang," Xu Yang answered the call.
The caller was none other than Wang Xiaocong.
"Xu Yang, where are you?" Wang Xiaocong asked.
"At the company, what's up?" Xu Yang said.
"Which company?" Wang Xiaocong asked again.
Xu Yang's businesses were somewhat numerous, including Style Media, Jiangdilao, Pioneer Culture...
"I'm at Yang Xin Investment; unless there's something else, I'll mostly be here from now on. This is my main base. I have an office here," Xu Yang said.
"Send me your location. My dad and I will come find you right away," Wang Xiaocong said.
"Your dad is coming over?" Xu Yang was surprised.
Xu Yang was well aware of the gap between himself and a big shot like Wang Xiaocong's father, Wang Dalin, who had once topped the wealth charts.
For Wang Dalin to come to find him was truly unexpected.
"Yeah, my dad will attend the signing with Hui'an Medicine. We arrived last night, but it was too late to call you. He said that before the signing, he wanted to meet you. Just send the location first; we'll talk when we meet," Wang Xiaocong said.
"Alright, I'll send the location to you," Xu Yang couldn't ask any more questions, hung up the phone, and sent his location to Wang Xiaocong.
Wang Dalin coming over to sign the contract was very unexpected for Xu Yang.
It was known that investing in Hui'an Medicine was definitely going to be profitable.
But no matter how profitable it was, it was merely a 5% share.
Even with a five billion yuan investment, even if they made tens of billions in the future, Xu Yang doubted it was enough to get a big shot like him involved.
Xu Yang was really puzzled as to why Wang Dalin would personally attend the signing.
It appeared that he'd have to ask Wang Xiaocong about this later.
Soon, Xu Yang received a message from Wang Xiaocong saying the hotel they were staying at was not too far from Yang Xin Investment, about twenty minutes away.
Xu Yang did not dare to neglect and went to the office of the General Manager, Ma Yangrong.
"Old Ma, come with me downstairs to welcome someone."
To greet Wang Dalin and his son, it was natural to bring along the General Manager.
Otherwise, if Ma Yangrong knew nothing about it, when he saw them later, he wouldn't know what to do.
"President Xu, who are we going to welcome?" Ma Yangrong was very curious.
He knew better than anyone how much Xu Yang was worth.
Who else could make Xu Yang personally welcome them?
"Wang Dalin," Xu Yang said.
"What!" Ma Yangrong exclaimed in surprise, his face full of disbelief, "President Xu, are you serious? Is the wealthy Wang coming?"
"Yes," Xu Yang replied calmly, nodding his head. "Don't make a fuss, just hurry up and follow me. No matter what, when such a big shot comes to our company, we must show some gesture."
"Yes, yes, yes." Ma Yangrong nodded repeatedly, and then said, "President Xu, should we have all the staff go to welcome him?"
Xu Yang shook his head: "It's enough for just the two of us."
He didn't want to fuss over such superficial formalities. His own presence with Ma Yangrong to greet them was sufficient.
Would Wang Dalin even take a glance at the employees? Would he care?
Such formality was probably something Wang Dalin had experienced countless times. He might glance but definitely wouldn't care, so there was no need for all that fuss.
"Alright." Ma Yangrong nodded.
The two left the company and took the elevator to the ground floor of the building.
At the building entrance, the two of them waited there.
Fifteen minutes later, a Bentley and a Mercedes Benz stopped at the entrance, one after the other.
From the Mercedes, four men in suits and leather shoes got out.
They positioned themselves at the four corners of the Bentley, forming a protective stance.
The door of the Bentley opened, first a young man around 27 or 28 years old stepped out, followed by a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties.
The young man was none other than Wang Xiaocong, and the middle-aged man was Wang Dalin, the chairman of Wan Da Group.
Although Wang Dalin was in his sixties, he looked like he was in his fifties. Such was the condition of wealthy people.
"Chairman Wang, welcome to our company."
Xu Yang stepped forward, his attitude not overly enthusiastic, but respectful and self-assured.
"President Xu, hello," Wang Dalin shook hands with Xu Yang, his demeanor very composed.
In recent times, his son often mentioned that he had made a new friend, Xu Yang, the boss of JDL.
About Xu Yang, he had knowledge prior to his son's mentions: he had already heard of him.
After all, JDL was too popular, creating too much buzz for any business tycoon not to know.
Once he knew, naturally, he wanted to learn more about who the boss of JDL was.
After looking into it, he found that Xu Yang was quite talented.
But that was it.
After all, he stood too high. No matter what JDL was, Xu Yang was still just a minor figure in his eyes.
Latterly, learning the specific details about Xu Yang from his son, even he was somewhat startled.
Investing in Wu Jing's "Battle Leopard" yielded full rewards, acquiring Fengkai Mining's bauxite mine in South America was even more lucrative, netting 1.55 billion in one stroke.
And that wasn't all.
Investing in Style Media, spending a billion to acquire various copyrights, profiting tens of billions.
This investment looked to him like Xu Yang had foreknowledge and was stockpiling.
To be able to do this, in his view, Xu Yang must have a very formidable background.
Otherwise, who would invest ten billion, frantically acquiring various copyrights?
This warranted Wang Dalin to take Xu Yang seriously.
More importantly, Xu Yang's son and others had made quite a profit purchasing copyright companies during the recent national copyright bureau cleanup.
So, taking the opportunity of signing the deal with Hui'an Pharmaceuticals, Wang Dalin decided to meet Xu Yang.
