Huayu: The Big Players Behind the Scenes

Through various channels of communication,

Zhuang Huai'an and others appeared on CCTV's "Art Life", Phoenix TV's "Lu Yu's Appointment", the local TV station's top program "Happy Camp", and their old friends Li Jing and Dai Jun's "Super Interview".

Each one is a top-rated program right now.

Zhu Jun talks about depth, Lu Yu chats about fun, they play games on Happy Camp, and listen to gossip during interviews.

The hosts seemed to have planned this in advance, intending to explore Zhuang Huai'an from various angles.

Everyone: What else? Do you know how difficult it is to get him on a show?

After a week of non-stop work, the invincible Zhuang Huai'an finally collapsed.

He wasn't tired, he was annoyed. Anyone would get annoyed if asked the same question over and over again and asked to give different answers. It's like being in an interrogation room.

After sending Du Hua to discuss broadcast times with several TV stations, Zhuang Huai'an stayed in the courtyard house, not wanting to go out. He had been playing Lineage 2 recently.

this day,

Zhuang Kaixuan, Zhuang Huai'an's father, came to the capital without warning, accompanied by his godfather, Xu Youcai. Zhuang Huai'an was quite surprised. In his memory, even in the later years when things were more stable, these two powerful figures rarely came to the capital. Why was this happening today?

Without much thought, he invited the two to the tea room and respectfully offered them cigarettes and tea.

"Dad, Grandpa, why do you two want to go to town today?"

"Good boy, you haven't forgotten your local dialect, have you?"

Compared to Zhuang Kaixuan's honest farmer appearance, Xu Youcai was plump, with slightly squinted eyes and a smile always on his lips, looking exactly like Maitreya Buddha.

"Big Brother, these things are engraved on the roots, how could you forget them?"

Zhuang Huai'an has had a natural talent for languages ​​since childhood, and he can speak three languages ​​fluently: Hakka, Cantonese, and Shuocheng dialect.

Xu Youcai nodded with satisfaction, "Good boy, unlike your older brother at home, who's just a glutton!"

Zhuang Huai'an laughed. "A glutton" meant a useless, lazy person. Xu Youcai was referring to his only son, Xu Sen, a lazy bum who liked to discuss human body art with actresses. (Annoying) (Funny)

To be honest, it's actually a good thing that the coal mine owner's son is a glutton. If Xu Sanmu really wanted to start his own business, Xu Youcai would be losing sleep.

Zhuang Kaixuan looked his son over with satisfaction and asked, "Didn't Daqiang and Lili come with you?"

"No, they followed me for half a month. I gave them a break while I was resting at home. It wasn't far away, so I rented a house nearby."

"Rent a house?"

Zhuang Kaixuan frowned. "You've been on the financial news every few days these past two years, and you seem to be earning more than me and your father. Haven't you thought about buying some property?"

"It's done. Three office buildings inside the Second Ring Road."

"Office building?"

Zhuang Kaixuan frowned even more. "What I mean is the residential buildings. I don't understand your company's affairs, but you have to take care of Daqiang and Qiangli. Although they were selected by lottery and I've arranged their family matters, you still need to extend your kindness to them so that they can be guaranteed a place."

"Oh, oh, oh,"

Zhuang Huai'an scratched his head. "You mean this? I've made arrangements. I originally wanted to give each of my two brothers a small courtyard house, but they thought it was too rustic, so I bought them two apartments in the Third Ring Road area, and they're currently renovating them."

The reason I'm staying in a rented room nearby is that they don't want to live in the traditional courtyard houses, so I temporarily rented one.

After listening, Zhuang Kaixuan finally took it to heart. His idea was simple: since they came to work for him, he should treat them well.

"Dad, did you and Uncle come all this way just to talk to me about this?"

"No, my brother and I went into town to take care of some business, and we stopped by to see you on the way."

Xu Youcai smiled so broadly his eyes disappeared. "When I helped you raise funds earlier, I was just trying to stand up for you. I never expected you to be so capable and actually make it. My brothers have been praising you to the skies in front of me."

Coal mine owners don't understand art, nor do they understand investment.

But they understand women. They only care about how those mistresses are obedient to them after filming, and that's when they consider their investment worthwhile.

Coal mine owner Zhao Ruilong once said: "What's this little bit of money? I can dig a few more shovelfuls and get it out."

Coal mine owners have been sucking up to others for half their lives, and now that they've made it big, they just want others to suck them up in return. As long as the mood is right, nothing else matters.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Zhuang Kaixuan picked up the conversation, "It's like this, the year you went to Beijing to study, your uncle brought a young man to see me, saying he wanted to raise investment. Your uncle was also there at the time, and out of respect for your uncle, the two of us each invested 5000 million to make it a round number. After that, we never paid attention to this matter."

Until May of this year, the young man said he wanted to buy back the shares, integrate resources, and go public. I ignored him. What kind of good thing is it to kick out your savior after you've overcome difficulties and made money?

I refused him several times before he finally gave up, only saying that if the company went public, the shares would be diluted. And because of your uncle, I let him off the hook. Otherwise, just because he dared to ask that question, the osmanthus trees in front of our house would bloom even better next year!

Although Zhuang Kaixuan was only in his early fifties, he seemed to have been living in the village for a long time and had picked up the old man's rambling ways, failing to get to the point for a long time.

Zhuang Huai'an didn't interrupt him and just listened.

After taking a sip of the hot tea handed to him by his eldest son, Zhuang Kaixuan continued, "After this company was listed in Hong Kong, the opening price was decent, and the total market value was around six or seven billion Hong Kong dollars. My eldest son and I had our shares diluted a lot, and together we only have 18%."

At first, I promised that young man I wouldn't interfere with his daily operations. This time, he came to me again and asked me to serve as a non-executive director. We two old guys who have been working in the fields don't know anything about this. So we came to ask for your opinion. If it doesn't work out, you can take my place.

Looking back now, that young man was really no good!

Hearing this, Zhuang Huai'an realized something was wrong and quickly asked, "Dad, what's that person's name? Which company does he work for?"

"Teng is a company called Penguin Teng."

"Big brother, it's not that the penguin is in pain, just call it penguin," Xu Youcai chimed in.

"Oh right, right, right," Zhuang Kaixuan slapped his forehead, "Penguin, what a terrible name."

Zhuang Huai'an was completely dumbfounded after hearing this!

It's already fantastical that your dad could plant a tree and unearth a mineral deposit, but he also acquired shares in Tencent's IPO?

No? Is nobody in charge anymore?

Who is the main character in this book?

Seeing that his eldest son was almost out of his body, Zhuang Kaixuan quickly waved his hand in front of him.

"Kid? What's wrong?"

"Dad, I'm fine."

Zhuang Huai'an snapped out of his daze and gave a wry smile.

I thought I had surpassed my dad in the past two years by relying on the movie library in my mind, but I didn't expect my dad's cheat code to be even bigger!

This truly proves the saying: Your father is still your father!

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Zhuang Kaixuan opened the briefcase, revealing a large stack of red property ownership certificates. "These are some properties that were previously purchased in your name in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Tianya. There are three courtyard houses, six villas, twenty apartment buildings, and more than thirty shops and stores. You can study them yourself."

Before, I was worried that you were too young to handle things well, but now I can confidently entrust you with this responsibility.

Zhuang Huai'an: ...

"Dad, are you giving me all the family's wealth?"

"How could that be?" Zhuang Kaixuan blurted out, "There's a whole stack of them in the safe at home. Don't even think about them; I'm keeping them for my retirement."

Zhuang Huai'an was completely convinced. He had thought that Zhang the butcher was just a wealthy man, but he never expected that he was actually the Skeleton King, whose family had been high-ranking officials for four generations!

This scene didn't even exist in my previous life! If you had brought it out earlier, there wouldn't be any director Zhuang Huai'an at all!
