He won 900 million in the lottery.

The dinner party started, 20 minutes later.

Grouper is served.

The dishes are all served.

I spun the table around, pointing the fish head at Dean Wu: "Leader, let's cut the ribbon."

Dean Wu: "President Shen is too modest. I'm too old to eat meat."

Me: "You're the leader, so we need you to give the orders so we can follow your lead."

Dean Wu stopped making excuses and picked up the serving chopsticks to take a piece of shark fin.

Me: "A train runs fast because of its locomotive, and fish heads are full of collagen; eating them is good for your skin and complexion."

I picked up another piece of fish head for him.

Chen Yuanyuan tried to smooth things over, saying, "President Shen, please help yourself to whatever you like. Don't be shy."

Me: "I like to dip it in soup; this fish tastes best when dipped in soup."

Dean Wu: "President Shen, how can you not be full after eating fish with soup? Yuanyuan, please put the piece from the belly of the fish for President Shen."

Me: "I don't care about eating a full meal when I eat fish. I like to eat smaller portions at each meal, so that I can have fish with every meal."

Dean Wu: "President Shen, you are a very interesting person. I hope we will have the opportunity to eat fish together again in the future."

Me: "I'll come running whenever Yuan Yuan, the beautiful lady, says hello."

"Haha, okay."

This kind of gathering is the best; you can just chat and there's no need to force anyone to drink.

During the meal, Chen Yuanyuan served food to Dean Wu, her movements appearing quite practiced.

A meal takes an hour, and Dean Wu explained it to me very clearly.

Government tendering.

After winning the bid, the contract will be fulfilled and delivered.

Submit for settlement.

Internal audit.

Financial audit.

Settlement and payment.

The process was very complicated; this was the first time I had ever heard of a government agency conducting bidding and procurement.

Dean Wu: "I will handle everything from winning the bid to the financial audit. This mobile phone procurement tender is a unified procurement for all procuratorates and courts in our city. Although the government audits the process, the final funds are paid independently by our procuratorate's finance department, so there are no problems."

I raised my glass: "Then I must thank Dean Wu for giving me this opportunity."

Chen Yuanyuan raised her glass at the same time.

"Cheers."

The dinner party ended.

Chen Yuanyuan: "Director Wu, the wine today is just the right amount. Let's go relax and unwind later."

Then he looked at me and said, "President Shen, you come too."

Me: "Oh dear, I can't take it anymore. Pure grain liquor is too strong. I need to go back and rest."

Chen Yuanyuan: "Alright, that's all for today."

They watched as Chen Yuanyuan helped Dean Wu into the car and left.

Then I called Haitao.

Me: "Where?"

Haitao: "At home, we're having dinner."

Me: "I'm done here."

Haitao: "How is it?"

Haitao sounded quite excited.

Me: "Let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow."

Haitao: "What are you waiting for? I'll pick you up in a bit."

Me: "You just got home and you're out again? Don't you want to spend some quality time with your wife?"

All I heard on the other end of the phone was, "Honey, I'm going out for a bit and won't be back tonight."

"Where are you going?"

"Tianyi contacted me, let's do a project and earn some extra money."

"Drink less alcohol."

After hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but envy Haitao again; his wife is truly wise and understanding.

Less than half an hour later, a Passat pulled up in front of me.

"Get in the car, Mr. Shen."

As soon as I got into the car, before I could even say anything, Haitao eagerly asked, "How was the chat?"

Me: "There are basically no problems."

Ultimately, when it comes to recording audio on your phone, it's enough for you to know it yourself; if you don't need it, just pretend you didn't do it.

Haitao: "Let's go wash our feet."

Zhongying Foot Bath.

As soon as he entered, Haitao became very familiar with the place.

"Mr. Liu, how many are there today?"

"Two people, 3rd floor, number 66 and number 73."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Me: "Boss Liu, you've seen quite a bit of the world while I was away."

Liu Haitao: "Just messing around. As long as you, Boss Shen, take me around, I can come here every day without any problem."

My relationship with Haitao is both complicated and simple.

We ate together, and we argued.

He's borrowed money and carried a gun.

As the saying goes, men who have fought side by side are truly loyal and devoted.

You know what, numbers 66 and 73 aren't bad looking.

"Mr. Liu, it's been a long time since I've seen you."

Haitao: "This is my boss. He's providing good service today, so let's have three rounds of bills each."

Number 73 smiled and said, "Thank you, boss."

I don't bring my phone to work.

Enter the room and lock it from the inside.

I immediately perked up: "When did we start offering this kind of service?"

Haitao said smugly, "How about it? Isn't the place I found good?"

They soaked their feet and chatted.

Haitao: "Have they shown any sincerity over there?"

Me: "Now that it's set up, all that's left is to operate it."

Haitao: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's begin!"

Me: "3 million, how much can you take? I've given up 300% of the profit to play it safe, so the return is much lower than I expected."

Liu Haitao: "How much can you earn?"

Me: "Originally it was 50%, now it's only 27%, but with installment payments, it's still a way to reduce the loss of interest difference."

Liu Haitao: "27% is quite a lot. The most important thing is that we don't need to manage it. We just need to put in the money and get the profit dividends."

Me: "With your way of thinking, you'll eventually run into a trap and fall into it."

Liu Haitao laughed and said, "Don't worry, I only do business with acquaintances."

It's not easy to do business with acquaintances.

I know you too well; you'll definitely screw people over.

Me: "Let's start operating tomorrow. While you're at it, ask your friends if they're interested in making money. If it's a reliable opportunity, great. If it's not, don't even mention it. This can't get out."

Haitao: "Tianyi, how much money are you prepared to offer?"

Me: "Let's go for 40. Give Zhang Xingxing more space. If necessary, let him take the lion's share."

Haitao: "Wow, Tianyi, you've really taken off from Shanghai! You're so rich!"

When they saw me buy the X3, they already knew I was going to make a fortune in Shanghai.

I'm too lazy to explain.

Me: "All my belongings, plus those of my friends, are the same. Let's all make money together."

Haitao: "Okay, I'll ask my wife for the money tomorrow."

Me: "By the way, there's no need to ask the eldest and second eldest brothers. They're not interested."

Haitao: "Mm."

Those with over 1000 million in savings generally don't look down on this kind of occasional speculative business.

I'm an exception, because what I want is the Wu Yuan line, where making money is straightforward.

For those born into poverty, the safety of money is nowhere near as reliable as having powerful backing.

I will tell Haitao my whole plan.

First, we cannot directly accept money from friends. We need to establish a new company, and everyone's money will be invested in the company, with each person holding shares proportionally.

Second, the company we establish can then invest in or establish a new bidding company, with different voting rights for the same shares.

Third, there are two prerequisites: Chen Yuanyuan must sign a repayment guarantee, Zhang Xingxing's investment cannot be less than 30%, and the repayment will be used to repay our principal first.

Once the final framework is signed, you can then find a lawyer to draft the contract.

Foreplay is over.

The show is about to begin.

Number 66 pulled back the curtain separating our two beds.

At this moment, Haitao suddenly blurted out, "Boss Shen, we don't need to draw this curtain."

Me: "Get lost!"

I lay down comfortably and gestured to No. 73 that she didn't need to take off her clothes: "No. 95 is fine."

BMW X3 only requires 95-octane gasoline.

Any objections?
