After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 475 Student Group

Sunday, May 12th.

The Red Mansion Teahouse is now open!
The opening ceremony mainly consisted of two events.

The midday event was mainly for the grand opening celebration, with candy, flowers, and firecrackers, as well as many guests attending the grand opening.

The number of people is very large.

There are no restrictions based on social status; business partners are welcome, whether they know each other or not.

The main focus is on creating a lively atmosphere.

However, it was just a lively affair.

The real spectacle is the cocktail party in the evening.

The cocktail party was by invitation only.

Only those who are truly influential and prominent are qualified to participate.

Some individuals are unable to come during the day due to other commitments.

But I won't miss tonight's show no matter what.

As a veteran of the Red Mansion Teahouse, Wei Qingfeng could not restrain himself and had to rush over early to prepare for today's opening ceremony.

We'll go there around 9 a.m.

They discovered that quite a few guests had already arrived.

There were at least twenty people, divided into two groups, drinking tea in two separate tea rooms.

"Mr. Li?"

Wei Qingfeng even discovered an acquaintance among them: Li Guangyuan from Jiahe Real Estate.

"Oh? Mr. Wei, you're here too?" Li Guangyuan seemed even more surprised than him. "Mr. Wei, you've received a favor from the Grand Master?"

"what?"

Wei Qingfeng was taken aback.

Li Guangyuan pointed to the tea room and said with a smile, "This room is for classmates. If Mr. Wei is a student, he can come and join us; if not, he can go to the room next door. We've already divided everyone up!"

"student?"

Wei Qingfeng was even more confused.

Li Guangyuan laughed and said, "That's right, all of us dozen or so are students of the great master."

"The Great Master?" Wei Qingfeng was somewhat incredulous. "The Great Master you're talking about, is it Zhou Haoran?"

Li Guangyuan looked at him strangely, "If it's not him, then who could it be? President Wei, you...you came here today, didn't you come to seek refuge with Master Da?"

"I am..." Wei Qingfeng was too embarrassed to say that he was a teacher at the Red Mansion and a "junior" of the master, so he pressed for details, "President Li, how did you become the master's student?"

Li Guangyuan pointed around again, "It's not just me, all of us are... That's General Manager Zhang from Nanjiren, this is General Manager Ni from Yongyu Manufacturing, this is General Manager Pang from Jiahui Supermarket, and this is General Manager Luo from Heguang Furniture..."

Wei Qingfeng looked around, but didn't recognize most of them.

I just felt that everyone in this room was quite young.

They are generally in their thirties or forties.

The other two were only in their early twenties, with very youthful faces.

Li Guangyuan clapped his hands again, quieting the tea room for a moment, and then introduced with a hearty laugh: "Classmates, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Wei Qingfeng, the big boss of Qingfeng Group! You've all heard of Qingfeng Group, right? It's a huge company!"

"It's President Wei!"

"Nice to meet you!"

"So Mr. Wei is also one of Mr. Da's people. We must cooperate more in the future!"

The dozen or so people in the tea room all stood up.

Some handed out business cards, while others introduced themselves.

They seem to be a group of very energetic entrepreneurs.

Wei Qingfeng was a little confused. "It's nice to meet you all, but I still don't understand. How did you become Master's students? Has Master started teaching classes?"

"If the Master were to start a class, I'd be the first to sign up!"

Li Guangyuan laughed heartily.

"No classes started?" Wei Qingfeng was completely baffled. "How did you become students?"

"We all started our businesses under the tutelage of Master Da."

Li Guangyuan appears to be the "squad leader" of this group.

Actually, it's easy to choose a class monitor.

Just see who has the most money.

Li Guangyuan is in the real estate business; a single project can cost over 2 million yuan…

However, if we're talking about the best-performing businessman, it has to be Mr. Zhang Yongxiang of Nanji Ren. He said with a smile, "I don't know about others, but I founded Nanji Ren entirely because of Mr. Da's inspiration. If it weren't for his letter and his guidance, I might still be running a counter in a department store!"

"Yes, yes, my factory was almost bankrupt, but the master taught me two tricks... and it actually came back to life!"

"Me too! I was almost bankrupt, but after subscribing to Mr. Da's letters and adjusting my business strategy, I quickly came back to life."

“I was working as a planner at Shanghai Film Studio. Later, I saw Mr. Da’s letter from a friend and was inspired. That’s why I quit my job and started an advertising company.”

"I followed Mr. Da's call to advertise on Hongxing TV, and then the sales of my products immediately took off."

"Yes, my market share also came from television advertising..."

The students present chimed in with their own comments.

Wei Qingfeng was deeply moved by what he heard.

Like being struck by lightning.

They really are students?

He understood; all the people present had subscribed to Zhou Haoran's letters. Through these letters, they had grasped the secrets of doing business, and thus, step by step, they had achieved success.

Of course, there is survivor bias here.

It's not that all of the great teacher's "students" have succeeded, but rather that only successful "students" can come here.

There are probably countless failures!

But that's still impressive enough.

So many people have succeeded!

As someone involved in the business world, Wei Qingfeng knew how difficult and risky doing business was! He also knew that the gentleman was involved in a "letter" business. He never expected it to have such amazing results!
By simply writing letters, they cultivated so many devoted believers!
Wei Qingfeng stared in disbelief at the excited and enthusiastic expressions of the people.

The image of Zhou Haoran's young and innocent face immediately came to mind.

I simply can't believe it.

"What are you talking about? It's so lively?"

Zhou Haoran was drawn over by the raised voice.

Li Guangyuan used to work in an engineering team, but inspired by the master, he started working in real estate. He said excitedly, "Master, we're introducing you to General Manager Wei here, but he doesn't seem to know you."

"Mr. Wei?"

Zhou Haoran then noticed his thin figure.

Wei Qingfeng's expression was somewhat complicated, and he bowed slightly, "Master."

Zhou Haoran quickly went over to support his arm and said with a smile, "You must have misunderstood. How could President Wei not recognize me? We not only know each other, we're from the same school!"

"Fellow disciple?"

Li Guangyuan was stunned for a moment, and the general managers Zhang, Pang, Luo and others next to him were also taken aback.

Zhou Haoran said with a smile, "Didn't you see the introduction about the Red Mansion Teahouse on the wall? Back then, the Red Mansion Teahouse had 'Thirteen Righteous Men.' There were thirteen gentlemen who came to guide us. President Wei is Mr. Wei, the eighth generation of the Red Mansion Teahouse."

"Huh?" Li Guangyuan's gaze towards Wei Qingfeng suddenly became intense. "President Wei, why didn't you tell me this?"

Wei Qingfeng smiled and said, "You didn't ask either!"

Actually, I felt a little guilty.

Over the years, the Red Mansion Teahouse has long since become a mere shell of its former self.

Several of the gentlemen in "Dream of the Red Chamber" lived in poverty and destitution, which was not shameful at all.

Therefore, when Wei Qingfeng did business outside, he never used the name of the Red Mansion Teahouse. Unexpectedly, this time Qingfeng Group is collaborating with Jiahe Real Estate on a real estate project… and Mr. Li, the general manager of Jiahe Real Estate, turns out to be Zhou Haoran's student.

Zhou Haoran enthusiastically introduced himself to everyone: "I am the senior apprentice of Honglou Teahouse, but I am young and inexperienced. Mr. Wei is my fellow apprentice, and he has been doing business in Huangpu Beach for many years. If you have any questions, you can ask him!"

Li Guangyuan joked, "President Wei, does that mean you've become my senior apprentice?"

Someone nearby quickly added, "Wrong, it's senior master."

Then everyone burst into laughter.

I'm as happy as can be.

These people truly shared a bond of "classmates," having all studied under the university student through letters. Which student, having achieved success, wouldn't want to show off to their teachers and classmates?
They had looked forward to this kind of gathering countless times.

Now, Mr. Da has finally shown up.

Organize everyone together.

Students share a bond of friendship, and when they collaborate on business projects and help each other, they gain a sense of security in their relationship.

Is there a more valuable business network than this?
Zhou Haoran was quite shrewd with the room full of "students," instructing them, "President Li, President Zhang, President Luo, you all need to work hard. More guests may be coming in a little while, so please go and greet them for me."

"Alright, how about you go stand guard at the gate?"

Li Guangyuan was a rough and unrefined man, but he had a forthright and generous nature.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Yes, I was on guard duty. When I ran into a classmate, I brought him over here."

"Oh, we have a distinguished guest!"

As soon as Li Guangyuan got up and went to the outer hall, he saw a top big shot walking towards him, led by two girls in cheongsams. He couldn't help but blush with excitement.

I wondered if this person was also a classmate.

That gentleman is truly remarkable!

Upon hearing the sound, Wei Qingfeng took a few steps back and looked towards the door.

One glance was enough to freeze him in place.

Isn't this Guo Guanchang, the CEO of Fosun Group?

Why is he here?

Didn't he say that he was summoned by an important person today and couldn't get away no matter what?

What brings you to the teahouse?

Could it be that……

Wei Qingfeng's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Zhou Haoran beside him.

Zhou Haoran strode over, extended his right hand, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you? It's almost ten o'clock, are you late?"

Guo Guanchang quickly replied, "There's a traffic jam on the road."

Zhou Haoran knew him well and glanced behind him. "Just you?"

"My secretary is over there. I brought a gift."

Guo Guanchang knew the procedures at the Red Mansion Teahouse; during the day, a secretary would come over.

Just going through the motions.

I only go to cocktail parties in the evening with my wife; that's where the real world of fame and fortune is.

Zhou Haoran asked with a smile, "What kind of gift is it? It can't be too shabby. Mr. Zhang from Antarctica gave me two large screens from the Qing Dynasty. They're antiques."

Wei Qingfeng laughed and said, "Mine are antiques too, two Ming Dynasty vases. Your Red Mansion Teahouse is an intangible cultural heritage, so giving away some antiques would be appropriate."

Zhou Haoran leaned closer and whispered, "Just now, someone delivered a large plaque to me, which startled me."

What plaque?

"It says 100 million yuan on it."

"Pfft!" Guo Guanchang was immediately amused. "Haha!"

Zhou Haoran was also speechless. "If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a disaster relief donation."

Guo Guanchang couldn't help but chuckle, "Maybe he's been watching too much TV."

Zhou Haoran nodded. "Let's go in. I'm busy, we have some important guests, please entertain them for me... Oh, by the way, this is Mr. Wei Qingfeng, the CEO of Qingfeng Group..."

"Who?" Guo Guanchang was taken aback, then turned around and saw that it really was someone he knew. "President Wei?"

Wei Qingfeng was already frozen in place, as if his soul had been taken away.

It seems no one expected it to turn out this way.
