Although Zhou Ming had already expected that Shangguan Hui and Shangguan Aoxue must be related to some extent, he did not expect that Shangguan Hui was Shangguan Aoxue's biological uncle. Therefore, when he heard what Chu Aotian said, he couldn't help but be a little speechless.
In front of Zhou Ming's eyes, a beautiful figure who has not been forgotten for a long time can't help but appear. She has bright eyes and white teeth, and her skin is as good as snow. She seems to always wear spotless white clothes and white k¨´, but she is whiter than others, just like a snow peak of Tianshan Mountain. The snow lotus flower on the bed, cold and graceful, proudly emerged from the dust - if it wasn't Shangguan Aoxue, who could it be?
Zhou Ming remembers clearly that in 1990, after 21-year-old Shangguan Aoxue graduated from Peking University with a major in business administration, he directly applied for a manager job at his newly established Tomorrow Trading Company. Later, after several months of contact, Zhou Ming discovered that Shangguan Aoxue Not only could Xue drive a car, she could also use a computer, and she even knew new terms like "going public in the United States." This once made him quite curious about her identity and background.
Unfortunately, before he had a chance to ask Shangguan Aoxue in detail about his identity and family background, the old man called him and sent him back to his hometown in the countryside. From then on, the two of them never saw each other again except for necessary phone calls for work. Meet.
Yes, every year before and after the Spring Festival, the top core figures of the Tiandi Group will come to Zhou Ming's rural hometown to pay New Year's greetings, either collectively or individually, but there is one thing that cannot be shaken, that is, women are excluded.
Therefore, Shangguan Aoxue, Ling Wei, Yang Yuying, Zhao Ru, Yang Tie'er and other women Zhou Ming met in the capital, including Ye Lingxue and Li Shengnan, all of them have been with each other since Zhou Ming left the capital and returned to his hometown. Never met again.
It¡¯s not that they don¡¯t want to come, it¡¯s that Zhou Ming had already greeted them early and was determined not to let them come. The only contact they had with him was through phone calls or letters.
As for why, of course it¡¯s because Zhou Ming is afraid of arousing the old man¡¯s wrath and destroying his ¡°five good¡± image in front of the old man. Then when he graduates from junior high school, he should not get the freedom he wants.
A child in his teens caused so many super beauties to rush home like a swarm. This was not necessarily a good thing in the eyes of Zhou Zhenliang, who was always honest and loyal.
¡°Hey¡ª¡ª¡± Thinking of this, Zhou Ming couldn¡¯t help but shook his head and sighed longly.
Chu Aotian saw that Zhou Ming seemed to be dumbfounded after hearing his revelation. After being stunned for a long time, Chu Aotian sighed and couldn't help but wonder: "What are you thinking about? Why are you sighing?"
Being so disturbed by Chu Aotian, Zhou Ming couldn't help but return to reality from his thoughts. He turned his head and glanced at Chu Aotian, and said blankly: "Oh, no, it's nothing."
Zhou Ming turned around and noticed that the cigarette in his hand had reached the end of its flame and went out automatically. He asked Chu Aotian for another cigarette and lit it, and then said angrily: "Are you too embarrassed? Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier? It's okay, brother."
Chu Aotian was quite embarrassed after hearing this, and he smiled and said: "I just found out about it not long ago. Besides, if I tell you now, isn't it a big surprise for you?"
Zhou Ming was so angry that he almost wanted to raise his hand to give him a violent shudder, but he felt it was inappropriate, so he slowly lowered his right hand raised in the air and cursed: "Surprise, you big-headed ghost, you have been in Tianzhu, there are still people in Beijing." What don¡¯t you know? Just lie to ghosts."
First he scolded Chu Aotian to relieve his anger, then he turned to ask: "You mean the Shangguan family? What kind of mysterious method is this? Call it for me quickly."
"Thisthis is top secret" Chu Aotian seemed to have something to hide, and he looked around at him.
Zhou Ming became even more angry after hearing this. He immediately put out the Land Rover's ignition and shouted at Chu Aotian: "I think you're going to go to the house and lift the roof after three days. Come on, let's get out of the car and practice." This time I want to bring the old and new accounts together. If I beat you until you cry, I will call you brother from now on."
"What new and old accounts are there? I said, even if you can't beat me to tears, you still have to call me brother now, okay?" Chu Aotian knew that he was no match for Zhou Ming, so he would not be fooled, so he was as stable as a rock while sitting in the co-pilot. , looking at Zhou Ming's furious look, he said amusedly.
Seeing that Chu Aotian couldn't get out of the car, Zhou Ming had no choice but to kick him off, right?
So Zhou Ming said angrily: "You and the spy arranged by your Tian group have been investigating me and my Tiandi Group for a day or two, haven't you? I, my Tiandi Group, Zhenxing Group and Minghua Ocean Group, who is not investigated by you? The investigation is clear? Tell me, how can we settle this old debt? If it belongs to men, get out of the car as soon as possible. Today I want to avenge and repay injustice." He became more and more angry as he spoke.
Chu Aotian knew that what Zhou Ming said was the truth. He knew that he was in the wrong after hearing this, so he shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother, you??You know, it's hard to disobey your orders. I also have to consider national security, right? The three groups you mentioned have total assets of at least 80 billion US dollars and nearly 100,000 employees. Good guy, you are the richest man in the world at the age of 16. God knows how you made so much money. Keep an eye on me. I can't make a difference."
When Zhou Ming heard this, he suddenly stopped as he was about to get out of the car. He couldn't help but imitate Chu Aotian and rubbed the back of his head, and exclaimed: "What did you say? Total assets of at least 80 billion US dollars? That much?"
Chu Aotian opened his mouth in surprise and said: "I, I mean, brother, you don't know your current net worth, right? I got this information from the country's top-secret files. It is absolutely accurate. 80 billion US dollars is worth it." It¡¯s a small amount. This doesn¡¯t include the assets of your International Affairs Department in Hong Kong and overseas. What do you mean by the big shopkeeper of the Shuanshou? You are so awesome as the big shopkeeper of the Shuanshou.¡±
Zhou Ming was surprised at first when he heard this, and then felt happy in his heart. He thought to himself: "There are really so many? It seems that the group's cash flow is not very much. Hehe, it's not bad. Now he's going to the international capital market." It¡¯s time to show off your skills¡±
However, he insisted: "So what if there is 80 billion U.S. dollars? Most of them were earned by me in the international financial market through hard work and fear. Every penny I earned was fair and above board. I didn't go missing. Not to mention tax evasion, why do you think your team is investigating me?"
Chu Aotian first looked around vigilantly, and when he saw that it was quiet and there were no passers-by, he smiled bitterly and said: "Do you think we like to check on you? We all know that you earned all this money through legitimate channels. , but you are so amazing, aren't you? You have been making waves in the international financial market, but you have never failed. You will win every time you make a move. When you make money, you will go back to your country to buy land, buildings, mines, companies, and stocks. You said you would let the top leaders of our country What do those people think?"
Zhou Ming suddenly changed his aggressive attitude and said with a smile: "I haven't done anything to disgrace the country. I can promise with my chest patted on my chest that everything I do is for the country, no matter what they think."
Instead, Chu Aotian sighed deeply and said: "Hey, brother, it is precisely because of this that the country has given you special attention. In fact, it is to protect you. You should understand my brother's difficulties."
Seeing Chu Aotian's expression of admiration and helplessness, Zhou Ming couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. In fact, when he found out that his total assets in China had reached 80 billion US dollars, he felt happy.
More than 80 billion U.S. dollars. According to the exchange rate of 1 U.S. dollar = 8.4 yuan in 1996, it is equivalent to at least 650 billion yuan. It would be strange if the country does not keep a close eye on him.
Just listen to Chu Aotian wonder: "You said you made so much money in the international market, buying buildings, mines, companies and stocks, we can all understand, why did you buy so much land in various big cities? And you don't care City center or suburbs, you don¡¯t even have to choose the location?¡±
Why buy land? Of course we are engaged in real estate and building large-scale commercial districts and communities. Do you still need to ask? What a pig-brained person Zhou Ming thought to himself, although Chu Aotian is a good martial artist, has a high IQ, and has mastered a large number of national secrets, no matter how smart he is, he cannot judge the direction of the future national situation.
When Zhou Ming left Beijing that year, he had already registered the Star Real Estate Company. This company and Wanxin Investment Company, which is headquartered in Shanghai and Shenzhen, have done almost nothing else in the past five years. They have only bought land, buildings and mines.
"I have so much money that I have nowhere to spend it, can't I? I can just buy some land and play with it," Zhou Ming responded in a nonchalant manner.
Chu Aotian is so smart. He even thought about it and knew that Zhou Ming was trying to deal with him, but he didn't point it out. He just warned: "Brother, I can tell you, I don't care how you do business, but now you really A big tree attracts the wind. Not to mention the distant ones, in the week since you came to the capital, several heads of state have wanted to talk to you, so you have to be prepared. Oh, by the way, there is also my master and uncle."
Zhou Ming took a long drag on the cigarette, raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell them for me, my main task here is to heal the old man's body when I don't have time. I don't have time to talk nonsense with them."
After saying this sentence, Chu Aotian was so frightened that he almost reached out his hand to cover his mouth. Cold sweat broke out on Chu Aotian's forehead, and he was shocked and said: "Zhou Ming, are you too courageous? You can eat the food lu¨¤n." , you can¡¯t talk nonsense, how can you call it nonsense when the leader of the country comes to talk to you?¡±
Zhou Ming looked at Chu Aotian, who was so frightened that he broke out into cold sweats, with his serious look, and smiled secretly in his heart: "Hey, hey, I have been taught to be loyal to the country and the people every day since I was a child. There is something different about being loyal to the country and the people. How can I be so frightened by just one sentence?" It¡¯s so comfortable, the sea and the sky are vast, you can do whatever you want.¡±
He didn¡¯t want to stab Chu Aotian again, but deliberately said with a straight face: ¡°Then it¡¯s time for you to tell me what¡¯s going on with the Shangguan family, right?¡±
Chu Aotian saw that Zhou Ming was walking around just to get to know the Shangguan family, so he could only wipe his sweat and nodded: "Okay, okay, I have convinced you and I will tell you"
It turns out that there are several mysterious aristocratic families in China. These aristocratic families are all big families that have gone through ups and downs for hundreds of years but have been able to stand firm. The outstanding people in the family either entered the court as officials, or did business and made money in society. They have been inherited and accumulated for hundreds of years. , the family¡¯s profound heritage is unfathomable, and its energy is extraordinary.
???????? These families are usually not well-known, not known to the world, let alone on the Forbes list, but once the family interests are threatened or infringed, the strength they display will definitely be shocking.
The Shangguan family is one of these mysterious families.
After listening to Chu Aotian¡¯s brief introduction, Zhou Ming nodded and said, ¡°So, Shangguan Aoxue is really a member of the Shangguan family?¡±
"It will be replaced if it's fake," Chu Aotian nodded heavily.
"What about you? Is your Chu family one of such mysterious families?" Zhou Ming naturally started to make associations.
Hearing this, Chu Aotian lowered his head and said sadly: "Hey, brother, you think too highly of your brother and me. I'm just a fatherless and motherless orphan that the master picked up on the roadside."
Zhou Ming felt apologetic after hearing this, and quickly said sincerely: "I'm sorry, Brother Chu, I really don't know this."
Chu Aotian suddenly raised his handsome face, raised his sword eyebrows and said: "It's okay, no one has asked me about my family affairs for a long time, and suddenly I got emotional. Hey, you both have parents, you are so happy."
After hearing this, Zhou Ming couldn't help but think of the misery of his previous life. He then said seriously: "Brother Chu, if you don't dislike me, you will be my biological eldest brother, my parents, and your parents from now on, okay?"
Chu Aotian felt Zhou Ming's sincere friendship, nodded vigorously and said: "Okay, okay." After saying three good words in a row, he was no longer excited and speechless.
He has no father or mother since he was a child, so he is famous in Tianzhu for being ruthless, aloof and decisive. He was introduced by Liu Jun when he was a teenager, and he and Zhou Ming had never known each other before fighting. Unexpectedly, the two of them actually became good brothers today.
Even though Chu Aotian was extremely nervous, he was so moved that his eyes filled with tears, and he looked at each other and smiled with Zhou Ming, their brotherly love was all in silence.
After a while, Chu Ao Tiantian gradually calmed down. He smiled and cursed: "Good boy, I haven't shed tears in more than ten years. I didn't expect you to make me cry with just a few words. It's so fucking embarrassing."
After a pause, he said to Zhou Ming: "It's almost midnight, where are you going?"
Zhou Ming didn¡¯t even think about it and said directly: ¡°Where else can we go? Of course we have to go to the headquarters of my Tiandi Group.¡±
