Night falls.

The Tianxing Prince Hotel was brightly lit.

Inside the main hall of the annual meeting, hundreds of entrepreneurs from all over Daxia had already arrived.

The combined wealth of these individuals is enough to influence multiple industries.

Billionaires, who are rarely seen on ordinary days, are just ordinary guests here.

Those who truly stand at the center of the crowd are business giants with assets of tens or hundreds of billions.

7:30 p.m., in a hotel suite.

Yu Binglan changed into her formal dress and came out of the room.

She wore a fitted silver-white long dress; the delicate fabric clung to her waist, perfectly showcasing her tall and graceful figure.

Her long, black hair was styled in a bun at the back of her head, and diamond earrings adorned her fair neck.

The light shone on her face, making her already cool and refined features even more captivating.

Shen Ze looked at her for a few seconds.

Yu Binglan approached him: "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"I'm thinking about something."

"What is it?"

"You're going to steal half the attention at tonight's annual party."

Yu Binglan's lips curled slightly as she reached out to adjust his tie: "Where's the other half?"

"Of course it's with me."

"Mr. Shen is really not modest."

"If I'm too ordinary, how could I be worthy of Mrs. Shen?"

Shen Ze was dressed in a well-tailored black suit, with a tall and upright figure and a calm demeanor.

His recent success in taking control of several large enterprises has naturally given him a sense of composure befitting someone in a position of power.

Even standing in a venue full of wealthy people, she will not be overshadowed by anyone.

Yu Yehua happened to walk in from outside, saw the two standing together, and nodded in satisfaction.

"It's almost time."

"The rest of the people are almost all here, let's go over there."

The three of them took the elevator downstairs together.

When the doors to the main hall of the annual meeting opened, many guests immediately looked over.

Yu Yehua is already a well-known billionaire in Shanghai.

The Star Group is a large corporation, and many people present recognized him.

However, most people's attention was focused on Shen Ze and Yu Binglan.

Who is that young man next to Yu Yehua?

"You don't even know him? Shen Ze, the most talked-about investor in Shanghai right now!"

"The chairman of Douyin?"

"It's not just that he's trembling with fear; I've heard he also owns quite a few large corporations."

"Isn't that Yu Yehua's daughter next to him?"

"Yu Binglan and the other person have already registered their marriage."

Upon hearing this, several young, wealthy heirs couldn't hide the envy on their faces.

Yu Binglan is not only exceptionally beautiful, but also the chairperson of Xingchen Group.

Whoever marries her will not only gain a beautiful wife, but also be completely bound to the Yu family.

However, Shen Ze himself also owns an impressive business empire.

This alliance is not about one side currying favor with the other, but rather a collaboration between two top-tier business forces.

The annual meeting host quickly walked onto the platform.

"Welcome all entrepreneurs to this year's Daxia Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting."

"Over the past year, various industries in Daxia have developed rapidly, and many outstanding enterprises and investment projects have emerged."

"Tonight, I hope everyone can strengthen communication and jointly explore new opportunities for cooperation."

After a brief opening speech, the audience immediately moved into a free discussion session.

Several wealthy people who had known Yu Yehua for many years were the first to gather around.

"Chairman Yu, it's been a long time."

"I heard that Xingchen Group's profits have increased significantly this year. You've managed things very well."

"Won't you introduce these two people next to Chairman Yu?"

Yu Yehua had been waiting for these words. He raised his hand and pointed at Yu Binglan: "My daughter Binglan is now in charge of Xingchen Group."

"This is my son-in-law, Shen Ze."

A wealthy man from the north chuckled, "We've been hearing about Shen Ze's name quite a bit lately."

"Douxin pioneered the live-streaming e-commerce model, and Chairman Shen, at such a young age, is already a figure being discussed throughout the business world."

Another person asked curiously, "I heard that Douxin is just one of Chairman Shen's businesses?"

"good."

With a broad smile, Yu Yehua introduced the company directly to the public: "Besides Douxin, the Shanghai Zijin Hotel, Shuren Private Hospital, Mingzhu Private Bank, and Yehua Group are all now wholly owned and controlled by Xiao Shen."

He serves as chairman of multiple companies simultaneously.

After he said that, the surroundings fell silent for a few seconds.

Many people who met Shen Ze for the first time immediately changed their expressions.

"Is Mingzhu Private Bank also his?"

"That bank manages over 100 billion yuan in funds!"

"The Zijin Hotel and Shuren Private Hospital are also of considerable value."

"With so many businesses all under his control, what is his true net worth?"

Those who had previously regarded Shen Ze merely as a rising star in the internet industry are now re-evaluating this young man.

Douyin has huge potential, but it has not yet been officially launched.

Private banks, hotels, hospitals, and large corporations are all real assets.

With several industries combined, Shen Ze is no longer a so-called rising star in the business world.

In terms of personal wealth alone, he is on par with many established tycoons present.

A gray-haired entrepreneur extended his hand and said, "Chairman Shen, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Our group has several consumer brands that are currently in contact with Douyin."

"I hope that there will be opportunities for both sides to cooperate more deeply in the future."

Another tycoon immediately handed over his business card: "Chairman Shen, our company is responsible for logistics business in many parts of the country."

"With the rapid development of Douyin's live-streaming e-commerce, order delivery will inevitably require more partners."

"Price is negotiable."

More and more entrepreneurs gathered around.

"Chairman Shen, let me toast you."

Does Pearl Private Bank have any plans to expand its corporate lending business recently?

When will the next round of brand onboarding open on Douyin?

"We have a complete supply chain and are willing to offer exclusive live-streaming prices."

More than a dozen wealthy people vied to talk to Shen Ze, and the scene quickly became packed with people.

Those rich kids who came with their elders stood on the periphery, feeling an indescribable jealousy.

"How come he's already in control of so many companies when he's also in his twenties?"

"My dad still only lets me manage one branch company."

"He married Yu Binglan, so he got all the business, wealth, and women by himself."

"The Yu family really thinks highly of him. Yu Yehua's attitude just now was nothing like that of a son-in-law. He was more satisfied with him than with his own son."

The more they talked, the more upset they became.

No matter how jealous they were, they dared not show it to each other's faces.

Given Shen Ze's current status, he is no longer someone they can easily offend.

Just when the scene was at its most lively, the guests on the outside suddenly parted to the sides.

Sun Qingliang walked over, leaning on his cane, his face grim.

"Old Sun!"

"Mr. Sun, you've arrived."

"I was just about to go over and offer you a toast."

The wealthy men who were originally surrounding Shen Ze turned around and went to greet him as soon as they saw him.

More people put down their glasses and rushed to surround Sun Qingliang.

"Mr. Sun, the Sun family's layout in the energy sector this year is truly remarkable."

"Our company has always wanted to cooperate with the Sun family, and we would appreciate it if you could give us a chance."

"Mr. Sun, my father mentioned you just a few days ago."

Even though they are both top-tier billionaires, there is still a significant difference in their financial strength.

No matter how dazzling Shen Ze is, he has only just risen to prominence.

The Sun family, however, has a history spanning over a century, with assets approaching one trillion yuan, and possesses extensive connections in Longdu.

Many companies can easily obtain projects and funding simply by receiving a word of support from the Sun family.
