There is no doubt that Aaron's bet will definitely fall into Zhou Liwen's hands. However, it is not that simple to accomplish this. Although Zhou Liwen is very aware of the tycoon nature of the domestic group, not all fools have reached this point in business. If it is just to fool Jerry in the name of an investment bank, The company has a lot of power, but it is probably still a little short of a success. Although this case is not large in terms of amount, it is still good in terms of profit ratio. Moreover, this is also an opportunity for investment banks to intervene in the Chinese market. Zhou Liwen knows that in the next few years, China will basically play the role of a money-spreading boy. If it can use this opportunity to make a hit, future projects will be much easier. Investment banks can also rely on this path to officially open the Chinese market and establish a brand effect to compete with those large investment banking institutions. For this reason, Zhou Liwen decided not to contact the other party in the name of an investment bank alone for this project, but to engage the No. 1 National Bank of the United States to jointly carry out the project. In addition, he also called Wei Zi and mentioned the matter a little bit. Whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise in domestic affairs, Wei Zi's status is still very comfortable. As long as he helps in the circle, the success rate of the matter will be much greater. As for the price paid by Zhou Liwen, it was only a small proportion. Overall, it was almost a win-win situation, and Wei Zi would never refuse. Half a month later, the team sent by Aaron officially contacted Jerry Company. After the initial contact, the other party's reaction was very unexpected. As Zhou Liwen said, he is extremely interested in several targets set by investment banks, and during the inquiry process, he pays more attention to whether his brand can be 100% achieved. As for technical reserves, factory facilities, personnel conditions, etc. They just made a cursory inquiry. Regarding this unexpected situation, Aaron couldn't help but laugh and cry. It seemed that Zhou Liwen was right in the final result. He did not expect that doing business with the Chinese would be so different. Considering this aspect, Aaron even pondered whether to set up an investment consultant for the Chinese market within the investment bank and invite people with deep knowledge of Eastern culture and economy. Professionals do it. Since the initial contact received a good response, the next step is to set specific goals and details of cooperation. For this reason, Aaron was preparing to go to China in person. At this time, Zhou Liwen happened to be returning to China. On the one hand, he wanted to meet Wei Zi, Brother Jun and others, and on the other hand, it was also because of the situation at Samsung. According to the news coming back from South Korea, the new president will officially take office next Monday, Li Jianxi's pardon is also in sight, and the final decisive battle of Samsung Group is about to begin. Zhou Liwen, who has been waiting for so many days, cannot stay leisurely at this time. On the other side of the Pacific, one must personally take action. The plane arrived in Shanghai. Aaron and his entourage transferred directly to the headquarters of Jerry Company via Shanghai Airport. Zhou Liwen got off the plane in Shanghai and went back home first, took a rest, and when the time was about the same, he sat and went to Wei. San'er's club. Wei San'er's club is still in the same place. In recent years, this club has become more and more popular, and it is vaguely one of the most famous clubs in the north and south of Beijing, along with the Heaven and Earth in Beijing. Due to the luxurious decoration of the club, the strong backstage foundation, and other factors such as the network of connections, it is sought after by the wealthy and insiders. Even two years ago, there was a young man from another province who was not very discerning and relied on his family's power to get the idea of ??this club. Who would have thought that before he had time to take action, a group of people behind Wei San'er would do it? Not only did he not eat the good sheep, but he also made the sheep proud. Even the father of this young master was implicated in this matter. Soon after, he was relegated to the second line and was placed in the CPPCC for retirement. After this incident, the reputation of the club increased and it became more popular. However, Wei San'er and his childhood friend also listened to some of Zhou Liwen's original suggestions when running this club, and did not go too far in certain things. Compared with the heaven and earth in Beijing, this club still has some bottom lines. Yes, this is one of the reasons why the higher-ups turn a blind eye to it. But since it is a club, some things are inevitable, but at least there is a bottom line, and everything can be discussed separately. Zhou Liwen¡¯s identity today is no different than before. He was very low-key when he returned to Shanghai this time. Even when he went to the club, he did not take his Maybach, which is already well known to everyone, but took a Cadillac RV. Although this car is also a good car and sells for nearly one million in China, it is not very eye-catching compared with the common Ferraris, Porsches, Maserati, etc. in the club. When the car parked at the door of the club, who Neither noticed it. Looking up at the splendid golden-walled club and the uniformed and well-trained waiters at the door, Zhou Liwen smiled slightly. Since the opening of the club, Zhou Liwen has been here only a handful of times, and he has only been here three times in total. Moreover, in the past few years, he has been abroad, and even when he returned to Shanghai, he never visited here. Speaking of which, the real owner of this place is Zhou Liwen. You must know that he is the landlord of this club. "Sir, please show your membership card." When Zhou Liwen walked up the steps and came to the club door, a waiter was polite and polite.Stopped him abruptly. Now the club has implemented a membership system for a long time. Without a membership card or the leadership of a level member, ordinary consumers will not be able to enter at all. It is said that the annual membership fee for the lowest-level membership card here is 100,000 yuan, and you can't get it if you have money. If you don't have the recommendation of three old members and pass the club's review, you will lose 100 yuan. Don't even think about becoming a member here. Of course Zhou Liwen has a membership card here, which was specially sent by Wei Saner when the club had just officially established a strict membership system. He went home to rest after getting off the plane today. When he came out, he took out the membership card that he had almost forgotten about in the drawer. At this time, it was lying in Zhou Liwen's pocket. Zhou Liwen reached into his pocket and took out the membership card, which looked inconspicuous but was made of special material. The waiter was stunned for a moment when he saw it, and then his expression changed drastically when he took it and touched it. He quickly and respectfully handed the membership card back to Zhou Liwen, and then took out the walkie-talkie and reported inside. Wei Saner also has a good way of implementing the membership system. He put a lot of effort into the design of the membership card. Unlike ordinary clubs, gold cards, platinum cards, diamond cards, etc. are not premium membership categories at all. In this club, the membership cards of real senior members are completely low-key. The main difference lies in the material of the membership card and the embedded chip information. Just like this inconspicuous-looking black card presented by Zhou Liwen, its material is made of space alloy. The value of the metal alone is higher than that of gold. In addition, in addition to the uneven anti-counterfeiting pattern and membership number, this card The card is also embedded with an information chip, which can display a series of information about the cardholder as long as it is scanned at the terminal in the club. As a staff member, although this waiter has not directly come into contact with this kind of top-level membership card, he still received such training before taking up the job. What's more, the materials are different, and this card is very distinguishable in the hand and cannot be counterfeited at all. , today they have received instructions from the big boss in advance that a distinguished guest will arrive, and this guest is holding such a membership card. In less than a minute, a middle-aged man who looked like a manager quickly rushed out. After seeing Zhou Liwen, he quickly asked if he was Mr. Zhou. Seeing Zhou Liwen smile and nod, he bowed respectfully and invited Zhou Liwen in, then led the way and led Zhou Liwen inside. The layout inside is a little different from when Zhou Liwen first came. It has obviously been redesigned and renovated. After entering, people were amazed by the luxury in the club. It was obvious that Wei Saner and the others had made a lot of money from this club, otherwise they would not have spent so much effort to renovate it into what it is now. Downstairs is an ordinary entertainment venue. There are many guests who come here to have fun. Of course, those Yingying Yanyan are also indispensable. They pass by. Zhou Liwen just looks at it for a moment and continues to move forward calmly. Zhou Liwen had long been immune to these, but the manager noticed Zhou Liwen's expression, guessing how sacred Zhou Liwen's identity was, and at the same time he became a little more courteous. Waiting for the special elevator nearby, the manager told Zhou Liwen apologetically that the boss was waiting for him on the third floor. This elevator was a special elevator that went directly to the third floor. Zhou Liwen only needed to use his membership card to swipe the electronic equipment in the elevator. The elevator will take him up. As for himself, because of the rules of the club, he is only responsible for the places below the second floor, so he can only be sent here. Zhou Liwen didn't mind either, of course he shook his head secretly, feeling that Wei San'er had been doing more and more tricks since he hadn't seen it in several years, and he didn't know how he came up with these tricks. Weiwei nodded to the manager to express his gratitude. Zhou Liwen entered the elevator, took his membership card and swiped the original button. The button light showing the third floor suddenly lit up, and then the elevator slowly closed the door. A few seconds later, the elevator stopped smoothly on the third floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, Zhou Liwen saw Wei Saner in a suit standing like a dog outside the elevator, waiting for Zhou Liwen. ¡°Brother Zhou, long time no see.¡± Seeing Zhou Liwen, Wei Saner quickly stepped forward and greeted him very enthusiastically. "Your business has grown big now. The big boss is so powerful that you didn't go down to pick me up when I came over." Zhou Liwen happily patted Wei San'er on the shoulder and said jokingly. "Are you kidding me? No matter how good my business is, I can't compare to you, Brother Zhou. If Brother Zhou hadn't pointed out the way to me back then and lent this place to me for free, where would I be today? Not today. My little brother is just showing off. To be honest, my score is nothing compared to yours. The key point is that if I go here, the news of your coming, Brother Zhou, will definitely be spread out. No, Brother Zhou, you have always disliked it. This is so ostentatious, so I can only wait for you here. If I offend you, will you please make amends to me?" As he said that, Wei San'er bowed his hands repeatedly, but his face was full of smiles. Zhou Liwen was just joking before, and Wei Saner was also half-joking and half-truth. As the boss here, he is now quite famous. As he said, if Wei Saner goes to the gate in personIf you wait for Zhou Liwen, then the whole world will be shouting that Zhou Liwen is coming. This is not what Zhou Liwen wants to see. After laughing a few times, Zhou Liwen shook his head happily, and then asked Wei Saner why his partner didn't see him. Wei San'er told Zhou Liwen that his partner happened to be away from Shanghai, but his brother and several of his brother's friends had already arrived and were now waiting for Zhou Liwen in the room over the corridor. "By the way, how many of your brother's friends are here?" Zhou Liwen and Wei San'er walked to the other side of the corridor together and asked as they walked. "Actually, Brother Zhou, you have met all three of them. My brother will not mention it. The one who came with my brother is the third brother Li Jinshan, and the other is Director Wen." Speaking of this, Wei San'er was afraid Zhou Liwen didn't remember who Director Wen was, so he specifically mentioned the origin of this person. As soon as Zhou Liwen heard this, he immediately remembered this dear friend, Director Wen, who had dealt with the real estate company back then. Over the years, Director Wen seemed to have had a prosperous official career. He actually became Director Wen, holding key positions in key departments. Not long after, they arrived at the place. Wei Saner went up and knocked on the door first, and then opened the door. When he entered, he told Wei Zi and others that Zhou Liwen had arrived. Then, Zhou Liwen's figure turned out from behind Wei San'er. When they saw Zhou Liwen, Wei Zi, Li Jinshan and Director Wen, who had just been sitting on the sofa chatting, stood up at the same time. "Brother, you came late enough. We have been waiting for you for a long time." Of course, Wei Zi and Zhou Liwen have the best relationship among the three, and they have been working together for many years. In addition, the place where we met today was at Wei San'er's club. As Wei San'er's brother, he was half the master. "I'm really sorry. I didn't expect Shanghai to develop so fast in the past few years. There are a lot more cars and people than there were a few years ago. I didn't take this into consideration when I came out, so it was a little late." Zhou Liwen laughed. Hehehe explained, then nodded to Li Jinshan, smiled and said that he had met Mr. Li again. After greeting Li Jinshan, Zhou Liwen looked at Director Wen. Compared with a few years ago, this writer was The director has gained a lot of weight, his face is shiny and looks very good, but the hair on his head is much less than before. "Director Wen, congratulations. I didn't expect that we would take a big step forward after not seeing each other for a few years." Zhou Liwen smiled and cupped his hands at him. "We are all happy together. Mr. Zhou is no longer what he used to be. It's great to congratulate him." Director Wen happily raised his hand in the same way. Speaking of the relationship with Zhou Liwen, the then Director Wen, who is now Director Wen, was not very good at dealing with each other at first, but in the end they turned enemies into friends. What's more, in order to stabilize Director Wen and the power behind him, Zhou Liwen later specially came up with an investment plan with zero down payment. This investment plan brought huge benefits to Director Wen over the years. Even Director Wen himself did not expect that he only accepted this benefit from Zhou Liwen with the mentality of taking advantage of it. However, over the past few years, the appreciation rate of these properties has been dazzling. If calculated based on the current value , Director Wen actually has a net worth of nearly 100 million yuan, not to mention that there is no problem wherever the money is audited. Even under the most stringent method of the Discipline Inspection Commission, his surname Wen can withstand the magnifying glass. A good comrade who started the investigation. "Thousands of miles to serve as an official means wealth. Secretary Wen has been in the officialdom for so many years. Of course, what he is most passionate about is rights. Besides rights, wealth is also the most important thing. But when a gentleman loves money, he must do so in a wise way. At his current level, he knows many examples of some people who unscrupulously use their power to make money, but he also knows that although this method of making money makes money quickly, it is extremely hot. Although harmony is now advocated and the higher authorities do not pursue these matters, once the situation changes, these people will be unlucky targets. At that time, the choice given to them will be either to be punished or to flee. As Secretary Wen with political ambitions, he would never follow their example and go to Yu if he had no other choice. However, Zhou Liwen's clever arrangement completely solved his worries, and it was not only him, but also Even the connections behind him are very profitable, so his feeling towards Zhou Liwen has changed from the initial value candidate to a vague admiration. With the change of mentality and status, Director Wen seemed very affectionate when he saw Zhou Liwen again this time. What's more, Zhou Liwen is different now from before. Now Zhou Liwen is already a world-famous person and a world-famous rich man. When he reached Zhou Liwen's position and held an American passport, let alone a director, even his immediate boss was polite when meeting Zhou Liwen. ¡°In addition, among the three people who came today, Director Wen¡¯s actual status is actually the lowest. As a rookie of the Wei family, Wei Zi has become an important training target for Wei Zi. In these years of cooperation with Zhou Liwen, the Wei family has made huge profits, and with the support of funds, the Wei family has also made further progress in the political world. First of all, as an important figure in the Wei family, Wei Zi represents Mr. Wei. And Li Jinshan is even more different. The force represented by Li Jinshan is almost the force behind Director Wen. Compared with Li Jinshan, Director Wen is just a member of this force, and he is not a member of the top. Li Jinshan's identity is the oldest among the three of them.Yes, this can be seen from where they sit. Because among the three of them, Li Jinshan sat in the middle, Wei Zi sat on the left, and Director Wen only sat with him on the right. "Mr. Zhou has been overseas for a long time and rarely comes back from Shanghai. Shanghai has indeed developed rapidly in recent years, and the population has also grown very rapidly. There are more people and more cars, so it is normal that travel is not as good as before." Li Jinshan said with a smile. He interjected, then pointed to the place next to him very politely and said to Zhou Liwen: "Some time ago, a friend gave me some good tea. Mr. Zhou came early rather than by chance. No, the tea has just been brewed. Let's enjoy it together. ?" Zhou Liwen smiled and nodded, walked over, and sat side by side on the sofa in the middle with Li Jinshan.
