Chapter 764
Joy falls from heaven
After Gao Yunshu finished speaking, he drank the third cup of wine in one gulp.
Although Gao Yunshu is not the richest person in Dongjiang, her reputation is in no way inferior to those of the top tycoons, and has even surpassed them.
It's not just because they have natural advantages like a beautiful face and a stunning figure; the most important thing is that their way of doing things is also admirable.
Today, Xu Bo'an has witnessed firsthand that a woman with such top-tier looks and such decisive methods, combined with these two advantages, would be hard to fail!
Xu Bo'an couldn't help but exclaim, "President Gao, I had only heard some rumors about you before, but after witnessing your brilliance in person today, we men are all a bit ashamed of ourselves. No wonder you have achieved so much today. I wish you continued success and prosperity in your future business!"
After a few drinks and conversations, the meal was drawing to a close when there was a knock on the door of the private room. Xu Bo'an, who was sitting closest to the door, got up to open it and saw that the visitor was Lin Shan, the owner of the Royal Dynasty Hotel.
Lin Shan's face immediately lit up with a bright smile when he saw Xu Bo'an. He said to Xu Bo'an in a very friendly manner, "Brother Bo'an, you really are here. It's been a long time. I just heard from the front desk that you had come to the hotel, so I rushed over as soon as I had something to do!"
Xu Bo'an also said with a smile, "Yes, it's been a long time. Come in and let's talk!"
Since Lin Shan was here, Xu Bo'an was planning to introduce Lin Shan and Gao Yunshu to each other. However, before he could speak, Gao Yunshu walked towards them, smiled at Lin Shan, extended his hand to shake his hand, and said, "President Lin, you're here too! Long time no see!"
Lin Shan was quite surprised to see Gao Yunshu there as well. He extended his hand to shake Gao Yunshu's hand and said, "Mr. Gao, it's a great welcome to our hotel!"
Seeing that Gao Yunshu and Lin Shan knew each other, Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "It seems that President Gao and President Lin know each other. That saves me the trouble of introducing them!"
Lin Shan smiled and said, "Brother Bo'an, President Gao is very famous in our business circle. You could say she's a household name. Not only is she beautiful, but she has also built a very successful business. She's a beautiful and powerful woman!"
Gao Yunshu said, "President Lin, your praise makes me feel ashamed. To be worthy of your kind words, I must work even harder in the future to make my business bigger and stronger! I didn't expect you to know Mr. Xu!"
Lin Shan chuckled and said, "It's more than just knowing him, Brother Bo'an is my best friend!"
Gao Yunshu was still somewhat surprised after hearing this. Lin Shan was a more powerful figure in Dongjiang City than herself. Although she had already searched for Xu Bo'an's identity online while sitting in the car, and knew that Xu Bo'an was also an extraordinary person, it was not surprising that he knew Lin Shan. However, for Lin Shan to call him a good brother was quite remarkable. It could only mean that Xu Bo'an was much more powerful than she knew, which was why Lin Shan would call him brother.
Thinking about this, Gao Yunshu was even more glad that he hadn't been stingy earlier and had prepaid all the cooperation fees with Xu Bo'an, signaling his intention to cooperate with Xu Bo'an long-term. This way, he would have more opportunities to contact Xu Bo'an in the future.
Gao Yunshu said with a big smile, "That's great, we're all friends, it's perfect to sit down and chat together."
Then the group took their seats. As soon as Lin Shan sat down, he saw the contract on Xu Bo'an's table and said to Xu Bo'an, "Brother Bo'an, so you came to the hotel today to discuss business. I hope I haven't disturbed you!"
Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "How could that be? We've already signed the contract."
Lin Shan smiled and said, "Oh, I'm glad I didn't disturb you. May I ask what field your collaboration is in? I'm just asking casually, so if it's something private and inconvenient to disclose, then that's fine!"
When Lin Shan heard that Xu Bo'an had come to discuss business, he was still a little nervous. After all, in his previous interactions with Xu Bo'an, every time Xu Bo'an made a move, it would impress Lin Shan. It was either high-end products like hangover remedies or extremely high-quality wild Ganoderma lucidum. He wondered if Xu Bo'an would have some high-end new products to launch this time.
As a businessman, Lin Shan didn't want to miss any opportunity to make a fortune. Although he and Xu Bo'an had a very good relationship, it was still a bit presumptuous of him to ask directly like this. But Lin Shan just couldn't suppress his eagerness to know.
Xu Bo'an understood Lin Shan's thoughts after hearing his words, and said to Lin Shan with a smile, "Why don't you open it and see for yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Shan quickly opened the contract on the table and saw that it was signed by Gao Yunshu's Huachuang Group and Qidian Advertising Company.
After reading it, Lin Shan said to Xu Bo'an, "Bo'an, are you going to work in the advertising industry again?"
Xu Bo'an smiled and said to Lin Shan, "You could say that. Actually, my cousin wanted to open an advertising company in Dongjiang and insisted on getting me to invest, so I did. However, I only hold a nominal share, and my cousin will be fully responsible for all matters related to the business."
Then Xu Bo'an introduced his cousin Tang Muyang and Lin Shan to each other. The two shook hands and exchanged brief greetings.
Lin Shan said, "Brother Bo'an, with your skills, you're going to dominate the business world in Dongjiang!"
Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Brother Lin. I was just joking around when I had nothing better to do!"
Lin Shan said, "Brother Bo'an, you're being too modest. You have no idea how many people are vying to become distributors for your hangover remedy. I heard from Lin Kangtai that he's going to officially open up the distribution rights for your hangover remedy in a couple of days. I reckon your factory will be packed with merchants these next few days!"
Before Xu Bo'an could speak, Gao Yunshu looked at him with a surprised expression and said, "Mr. Xu, it seems that the extremely popular hangover remedy was developed by you!"
Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "Yes!"
When Lin Shan, who was sitting to the side, heard Gao Yunshu ask such a question, he immediately knew that Gao Yunshu and Xu Bo'an were not as close as he had imagined, and he was immediately happy.
Now, Xu Bo'an is like a money tree in Lin Shan's eyes, a prized possession. Although Lin Shan has a good relationship with Xu Bo'an, and Xu Bo'an treats his son-in-law Tang Xiaohu like a younger brother, with this double relationship, Lin Shan should be able to rest assured.
However, Xu Bo'an was simply too outstanding. People of that caliber usually have many people trying to curry favor with them. If someone were to cultivate a good relationship with Xu Bo'an, it would be incredibly beneficial, especially for a businessman like Gao Yunshu. If he could do so, he could instantly elevate his business standing in Dongjiang. Therefore, Lin Shan was very worried. If someone else became friendly with Xu Bo'an, all of Xu Bo'an's resources would shift towards that person, reducing his own resources and resulting in a huge loss for him.
Hearing that Gao Yunshu and Xu Bo'an didn't seem to be very close, Lin Shan wasn't so worried.
Gao Yunshu said to Xu Bo'an with great excitement, "Mr. Xu, you are really amazing! So you will be the new chairman of Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory. It is a great honor for me to cooperate with such a talented person as you!"
Xu Bo'an said, "Thank you for your praise, Mr. Gao. You are a young and promising talent!"
Lin Shan praised Xu Bo'an and Gao Yunshu, saying, "You two are young and promising, and you are both the new generation of business leaders in Dongjiang!"
After exchanging a few boasts and drinking a few more glasses of wine, the dinner finally came to an end. During the meal, Lin Shan even said that from now on, all business related to the advertising company would be handed over to Tang Muyang, which made Tang Muyang, a novice in the profession, extremely happy.
The meal was a pleasant one for both the host and the guests. After the meal, Lin Shan escorted Xu Bo'an and Gao Yunshu to the hotel entrance. Of course, Lin Shan was mainly seeing off Xu Bo'an, the "God of Wealth."
Afterwards, the group went home. Of course, Xu Bo'an had already taken some hangover medicine after drinking in the hotel private room. Tang Muyang was very excited the whole way home, constantly grinning like an idiot. Xu Bo'an looked at Tang Muyang and said, "Brother, did you take some kind of stimulant today? You're grinning like a fool!"
Tang Muyang chuckled and said, "Brother, you have no idea how excited I am today! Our advertising company hasn't even officially opened yet, and two business tycoons already want to cooperate with us ahead of time. At this rate, our advertising company will never have to worry about not having any work in the future!"
With Xu Bo'an's current strength, he wouldn't care about such a small matter. But Tang Muyang is different. He is just a college graduate who has just graduated. Moreover, the period when he started his business in his hometown was quite difficult. Now, he has only been in Dongjiang for one day and two top bigwigs have expressed their willingness to cooperate with the company. Who wouldn't be excited? Xu Bo'an can understand Tang Muyang's feelings at this moment.
In this situation, Xu Bo'an certainly couldn't spoil the fun. He smiled and said to Tang Muyang, "You should enjoy yourself, kid. This is just the beginning. You'll have many more business partners in the future. Just wait and see how much money you make!"
Hearing his cousin Xu Bo'an's words, Tang Muyang became even happier and said with a smile, "Cousin, your strength is truly not to be underestimated. From now on, I'll follow you to make big money and live a life of luxury. You have to always protect me!"
Xu Bo'an said, "No problem, you're my cousin, who else would I protect if not you!"
Tang Muyang, a big boy, rarely acted like a child towards Xu Bo'an, saying, "Brother, my dear brother, you're the best!"
Upon hearing Tang Muyang's words, Xu Bo'an pretended to shudder and said, "Brother, I can't stand you like this! Can't you be normal?"
The two chatted idly on the way, and soon Xu Bo'an drove back to the Central Villa. After parking the car, the two walked together toward Xu Bo'an's villa.
Back home, Tang Muyang was so excited that he kept Xu Bo'an chatting for a while before the two went to their respective rooms to rest.
Because the two of them went to bed too late the night before, they didn't get up until almost nine o'clock the next day.
After getting up, the two had a simple breakfast, and Tang Muyang said to Xu Bo'an, "Brother, I will definitely be staying in Dongjiang from now on. It's not a long-term solution for me to live with you all the time. I plan to look at some houses today, and if there's a suitable one, I'll rent one first!"
Xu Bo'an said, "You've only been in Dongjiang for two days and you're already not staying with your brother? Are you thinking it'll be easier to find a girlfriend if you stay alone?"
Although Xu Bo'an said that, they were both adults. Even if neither of them had a family, it would still be inconvenient to live together for a long time. He felt that it would be more appropriate for them to live separately.
Tang Muyang said, "Brother, what are you thinking? I don't want to touch my girlfriend's thing again so easily. I just want to find a house closer to the company so it will be more convenient for me to go to work in the future!"
Xu Bo'an said to Tang Muyang, "Since you've already made up your mind, I won't force you to stay!"
He couldn't resist adding a sarcastic remark, "Boys really are like birds that grow up and can't stay at home!"
"However, renting isn't a long-term solution. I think you should just buy a house! That way you won't have to keep moving around!"
Tang Muyang said, "I've thought about buying one too, but starting a company requires money, and I'm really short of cash right now!"
Xu Bo'an said with a smile, "Since you've come to rely on your brother, how could I possibly see you short of money? Not only will I pay for the house, but I'll also provide you with a higher-end car, and I'll cover all the startup capital for the company!"
Xu Bo'an has no shortage of money right now; what he lacks most is reliable people who can help him open up markets in various industries. He can simply be the person behind them, and after making his business bigger and stronger, he can gradually push himself to a higher level.
On the other hand, this approach also allows for more effective and rational use of the resources within the bonsai.
Tang Muyang is not only the reliable person he needs, but also Xu Bo'an's cousin, so he will be even less stingy with Tang Muyang.
Tang Muyang quickly said, "Cousin, I'm already very grateful to you for helping me get rich. How can I let you buy me a house and a car? Besides, you can't pay for all the company's start-up capital. If you do, wouldn't I be a parasite?"
Xu Bo'an said, "What are you saying? It's a good company that we've started together, but I get more profits than you. Besides, you'll be managing all the company's affairs from now on. You'll be the CEO, so you need to drive a nice car, live in a nice house, and have a good image. You don't need to be so polite with me!" (End of Chapter)
