I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 534 Known as the "Emperor of Shanghai"

The young man turned around and looked at Fang Qingye very seriously this time, then replied, "We bumped into each other at the entrance."

“Alright, let me introduce you to each other,” Huang Hua said.

"This is Fang Qingye, the actual controller of Shencheng Tuofang Technology and the president of Jinghai Bank."

"This is Qin Feng, chairman of Fengrong Investment Company."

"Hello, President Fang, I've heard about Tuofang Technology since I returned to Shanghai, and I've even met the beautiful CEO, Ms. Bai Ou." Qin Feng didn't seem as arrogant as before; he was quite refined and extended his right hand.

"That's my wife." Fang Qingye smiled and shook hands, somewhat surprised.

It wasn't that I was surprised that Qin Feng knew Bai Ou, but rather that I was surprised by Qin Feng himself.

Before his rebirth, he was also involved in Shanghai's financial circle. Many people had heard of the name Qin Feng, and he also had a resounding nickname: "The Emperor of Shanghai".

It is said that this nickname has two origins:
There used to be a guy named Pei Le who was very famous in the e-sports circle. He was the former chairman of the WE team and his game ID was Pei Le King.

Once, Pei Le got into a conflict with someone in the gaming industry and publicly taunted him on Weibo: "If you come to Shanghai, I'll kill you." That's how the nickname "Emperor of Shanghai" came about.

Because Qin Fen was also a local "tyrant" in Shanghai, some people later confused the title of "Emperor of Shanghai" with Qin Feng and mistakenly attributed it to him.

Another source is Qin Feng's own mysterious family background.

It is said that Qin Feng's grandfather was a retired cadre in northern Shaanxi, and his father was the president of a large bank. The father and son held a high position in the domestic financial and economic circles.

Then Qin Feng would definitely be a third-generation descendant.

In addition to running a company, Qin Feng also founded his own basketball club. Besides being the owner, he is also a player, participating in various domestic basketball competitions with his teammates, and his achievements are evident to all.

Qin Feng is quite high-profile in China, comparable to Wang Sicong, who is jokingly referred to as the "Ji-Li" of the entertainment industry. It is said that the two have a good relationship in private and often interact and even banter with each other on Weibo.

It is said that his hobbies, besides gaming and traveling, include collecting various top-of-the-line supercars. Netizens say that his luxury cars include "McLaren P1, Koenigsegg Agera R, McLaren 650S, and even a private yacht."

Qin Feng's most high-profile act was lending his Porsche, worth 1500 million yuan, to an internet celebrity. As a result, the celebrity made a serious driving mistake and crashed into a tree, turning the perfectly good car into a pile of scrap metal.

Seeing the internet celebrity crying her eyes out, Qin Feng said helplessly, "It's nothing, you don't need to pay for it. It's good that she's alright."

Is that the Porsche parked at the entrance?

Of course, these all happened in the following years.

Does Huang Hua know him?
Fang Qingye's mind was flooded with all sorts of gossip about Qin Feng that she knew before her rebirth, but it only lasted a few seconds before the two shook hands and sat down.

They chatted casually while drinking beer.

"Brother Qin, are you not leaving the country this time?" Huang Hua asked.

"The company's already up and running, why would I leave?" Qin Feng said, crossing his legs and drinking beer. "My father also told me to calm down and do something practical."

"I'm planning to start another basketball club, an esports club, or something like that, but it's really just for fun."

"Esports? Great, Brother Qin, how about I become a player in your club? Warcraft or League of Legends, I'm fine with either," Huang Hua said immediately.

"Alright, alright, if your dad finds out you came to my club to play games, he'll probably tell him that day, and my club will be closed the next day! So don't come here and cause me any trouble."

Huang Hua was a little unconvinced, but also somewhat helpless. He picked up a beer and gulped down two mouthfuls.

"Seriously, Huang Hua, you'll graduate with your master's degree next year. What are you planning to do? Start your own company or continue pursuing a doctorate, like your sister?" Qin Feng asked.

“Me? I’m neither pursuing a PhD nor starting a company. I’m planning to follow Brother Fang.” Huang Hua smiled and looked at Fang Qingye.

"Follow me? Are you coming with me to the nursery in Nanxin to plant trees?" Fang Qingye asked seriously.

“Of course we’ll go! But we should bring Meiduo along too; she really loves flowers and plants,” Huang Hua replied immediately.

Holy crap! He's love-struck.

Fang Qingye and Qin Feng both looked at him with disdain.

Huang Hua laughed it off, saying it was nothing, and picked up the beer bottle again.

Qin Feng then looked at Fang Qingye and asked, "Director Fang, do you really run a nursery in your county?"

"Yes, it originally belonged to my grandfather, but I was later put in charge of it."

"Oh, if I have time, I'll go to Nanxin to take a look at your nursery?" Qin Feng said.

"Sure, but the conditions are a bit basic," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage in Nanyang, and Ziyun's pavilion in Western Shu?"

Qin Feng suddenly quoted Liu Yuxi's "Inscription of My Humble Abode".

"Hehe." Fang Qingye laughed: "I'm not as noble as Liu Yuxi described. I just like the environment of a small county town. After all, I grew up in a county town."

"What you said makes me even more eager to go and see it, to see what's so special about that place that keeps a billionaire like you staying there."

"I'll take you there when I'm free, Brother Qin," Huang Hua volunteered. "Brother Fang's grandma makes really good food."

"OK!"

The three chatted for a while, then steered the conversation to the topic of investment.

"Fang Xing, you're also an investment expert. What are your thoughts on the currently popular Bitcoin?"

Bitcoin?!

Fang Qingye quickly glanced at Huang Hua beside her.

Huang Tao knew that he held a large amount of Bitcoin, but did he tell Huang Hua? Did Huang Hua tell this young master in front of him?

Huang Hua seemed to understand what Fang Qingye meant by looking at him, and immediately took over the conversation: "Bitcoin? Brother Qin, you're asking about my sister? She's researching that right now."

"Your sister does academic research, while the investment I'm interested in is actually just speculation. President Fang is a master of speculation; everyone in Shanghai's futures circle knows his name. So, I want to hear President Fang's opinion."

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Fang Qingye felt relieved.

The young master in front of me didn't know.

Seeing that he was asking for her advice, Fang Qingye pretended to think for a moment before saying, "I don't know much about Bitcoin, but I think its scarcity means it has speculative value. Although the price is already high now, it may go even higher in the future. The strong always get stronger, right?"

"President Fang's analysis makes sense. I'm planning to buy tens of thousands of them to play with," Qin Feng said.

Tens of thousands.
That's quite a boast.

It's not a matter of funds. If you buy tens of thousands of coins at once, see what kind of sensation it will cause in the crypto world, and how many people will be watching you!
Of course, people of this generation don't care about such things; they've always been high-profile.

"Chairman Qin, I heard that the government may ban Bitcoin transactions." Fang Qingye asked deliberately, as if something had occurred to him.

"It's not just a possibility, it's a certainty. My dad said the central bank's document has already been drafted, and relevant departments are going through the approval process." Qin Feng said nonchalantly.

"Aren't you worried?"

"What's there to worry about? Can you stop me? Pshaw. At worst, I'll just go to Hong Kong for fun. Anyway, we have plenty of mainland buddies in Hong Kong's financial circles," Qin Feng laughed.

Fang Qingye had heard such a rumor before her rebirth.

In the skyscrapers of Central, Hong Kong, certain unspoken rules have always circulated. When HR professionals at foreign investment banks ask candidates to "write down a list of important people in mainland China they can contact," and when senior executives at these banks complain that "children below the provincial level are not qualified," this international financial center is witnessing a unique fusion of Chinese-style networks of connections and the capitalist market.
