Chapter 230: Debauchery is human nature

The two drove and took a boat all the way to the Luk Kwok Hotel on Gloucester Road in Wan Chai.

Liu Qijin has never been to the Xian Zhang Nightclub on the top floor of the hotel.

Wang Yuanchao has never been here either.

As soon as the two got out of the car, a parking attendant came over to help park the car, without any disdain for his princely car that cost more than ten thousand yuan.

Who dares to neglect what the second son of the Zhou family has told him to do? Don't you want to get rid of this mess?

Before entering the hotel, a waiter came to greet me and bowed politely, saying:
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Wang Yuanchao or Ms. Liu Qijin?"

Wow, are hotels so awesome these days?
"Mr. Zhou told me to wait for you two here!"

The waiter saw Wang Yuanchao's confusion and quickly added.

Wang Yuanchao then smiled and greeted, saying:
"Then please lead the way!"

The two followed the waiter, who were all well-dressed and beautiful, until they took the elevator upstairs.

Wang Yuanchao was somewhat grateful for the meticulousness and thoughtfulness of his "future mother-in-law". This was the kind of thing that the foreigners liked to do in their territory.

However, although it is a bit pretentious, it does look pleasing to the eye.

He held Liu Qijin's hand tightly again, making Liu Qijin feel sweet in his heart.

The waiter brought the two to the door of Zhou Qibang's box.

There was a knock on the door first, and then a waiter opened it.

The waiter inside whispered:

"Mr. Zhou, your friend is here."

Zhou Qibang stood up from the soft leather sofa, and his wife Tan Yueqing also stood up and moved closer to her husband. When Wang Yuanchao entered the box, he saw Zhou Qibang with his arms open and said:

"Oh my, my brother Yuanchao is here!"

"Hello, Brother Qibang, Hello, Sister-in-law!"

The two hugged each other tightly.

"This is your sister-in-law, you can call her Sister Yueqing!"

Tan Yueqing smiled and said:
"Calling her sister-in-law makes me look old, haha. This is my sister-in-law? She's very pretty!"

Liu Qijin quickly called out:
"Hello, Brother Qibang, Hello, Sister Yueqing."

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"This is my girlfriend Liu Qijin. She's as pretty as Sister Yueqing, right?"

Liu Qijin was obviously prettier than Tan Yueqing, but Wang Yuanchao's words made it sound as if the two were equally beautiful, which was very pleasing to the ear.

Zhou Qibang smiled and said:
“Both of their names contain the character ‘Qi’, so they are destined to be a family!
Your sister-in-law and I studied together in John Country. You are even better than us, hahahaha!"

Seeing that Zhou Qibang and his wife were so approachable, Liu Qijin felt a lot more at ease. With a sweet smile, he followed Wang Yuanchao.

After the greetings, the four of them sat down. There was a large floor-to-ceiling window on one side of the box, through which they could see the band performing outside. With the window closed, they could have a quiet and private chat, and with the window open, they could hear the music outside.

The four people got to know each other, mainly Zhou Qibang and his wife spoke, and Wang Yuanchao responded.

Wang Yuanchao could always keep up with whatever the couple said, and they could have a very in-depth conversation, which made Zhou Qibang and his wife look at him with admiration.

And Liu Qijin would only respond calmly when talking about her, with a clear sense of priority.

Tan Yueqing asked curiously:

"Yuan Chao, have you ever studied abroad? It seems that you have a deep understanding of things outside."

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
“At my age, where have I ever studied abroad?

When I was in the mainland, I had an English teacher whose husband was a diplomat. We got along well, just like friends. I listened to their stories and read a lot of books. ”

Zhou Qibang immediately began to speak in English:
"Then your English must be pretty good? I didn't know you had this ability!"

Wang Yuanchao also replied in fluent English:

"You have been speaking Mandarin to me. I can't speak it to everyone I meet. I can speak English. Can you speak English?"

As soon as this was said, everyone laughed.

Liu Qijin was in a state of panic. How capable was her brother Yuanchao? She learned English mainly in Hong Kong. She could only understand a few words, but her words were very awkward. How could she be as relaxed and at ease as Wang Yuanchao?

She quietly put learning English on her agenda.

Otherwise, among the four people, she is the only one whose level is not good enough and she cannot fit in.

When they were half drunk, Zhou Qibang said:
"Your sister-in-law feels that the work at the law firm is too monotonous and boring and wants to change jobs. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Wang Yuanchao knew that the couple were trendsetters. Just looking at their attire, they already looked like cosplay emperors and empresses several years later.

So he said:
"I don't know what my sister-in-law is more interested in. After all, interest is the best teacher."

Zhou Qibang said, listing all the treasures:

"Fancy clothes, beautiful house, spotlights, cocktail parties..."

Tan Yueqing said quickly:

"Don't blame me for everything, don't you like it?"

Zhou Qibang said:

"I didn't say I didn't like it?"

Tan Yueqing wanted to hit someone because she felt that her husband was molesting her.

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
“It’s human nature to like fancy clothes, beautiful houses and cocktail parties!

According to historical records, Liu Bei, the Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period, was not very fond of studying, but liked dogs, horses, music, and beautiful clothes.

Brother Qibang and Sister Yueqing, at least they have learned something."

Zhou Qibang was surprised:

"Liu Bei is such a person?"

Tan Yueqing also said:
"Uncle Liu, doesn't it look like that?"

Liu Qijin also looked at Wang Yuanchao curiously, to see how he would explain.

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Heroes emerge in troubled times. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Emperor Liu set his sights on the rest of the world.

Everyone criticizes the so-called sensual pleasures, but who doesn’t envy them? Who doesn’t enjoy them?

A hero is easily tempted by a beautiful woman, and a hero will risk his life for a beautiful woman. The important thing is to be able to control yourself. "Zhou Qibang raised his glass and said:

"That's right, come on, cheers, we should follow the example of Uncle Liu!"

After the toast, Tan Yueqing said:
"So Yuanchao, you haven't given me any advice yet!"

Wang Yuanchao said:

“Brand-name clothing, fashion magazines, film and television entertainment are all areas where play is considered a career.”

Zhou Qibang raised his eyebrows and said:

"So, I'm working on a radio station with my brother Yuan Chao to accumulate experience for the future. Radio stations, um, are somewhat related to film and television entertainment, right?"

Tan Yueqing said:

"We've only heard of him on the radio station but never seen him. We're only slightly involved. There are big guys in the film and television entertainment industry, and we don't have the resources. But we can try clothing and magazines!"

Zhou Qibang said:

"Then let's go back and think about it carefully."

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"But I found another opportunity to make a fortune. Brother Qibang, do you want to join us?"

Looking at Wang Yuanchao's honest smile, Zhou Qibang discovered that this little brother was even more radical than him and wanted to take over everything he set his eyes on.

Found another opportunity to make a fortune?
Commercial Radio just took it over!

Unlike him, who just keeps buying properties.

Anyway, now, many foreigners in Hong Kong are running away and selling their properties, and many outstanding Chinese have also run away. It’s just that some people are holding on to their properties and waiting and watching.

Governor Trench's return to Hong Kong did not reassure the middle and upper classes, who still felt that the current risks were beyond control.

The Zhou family supports Zhou Qibang's shopping, but firstly, there is a limit on the amount he can spend. Otherwise, his father Zhou Xinian would have to go shopping himself. Secondly, there is no sense of accomplishment in buying things all the time.

So the couple thought about doing something interesting.

Before Zhou Qibang could speak, Wang Yuanchao continued:

“I am planning to start a newspaper company. It is not expensive and can be started with about 100,000 yuan.

Nowadays, everything is in a state of exhaustion, all industries are waiting to be revived, and citizens are depressed and in urgent need of venting. Today's newspapers are full of preaching, and even when reading a novel, one has to teach people moral principles.

They have taught us so many lessons, but are our lives good?

So, I decided to make a different newspaper.

Let everyone relax, don’t be too depressed, and don’t lose hope in life.

After all, a happy day is a sad day. As a human being, it is better to be happy.

So and so... like this and like this...

Didn't the authorities shut down a lot of newspapers before? How about we take over?
We can use Asia Media to do it. I will provide the start-up capital, and Brother Qibang, your law firm can help set up the newspaper."

Wang Yuanchao did not want Zhou Qibang to pay, it was only a few tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. It would be better to let Zhou Qibang's law firm directly support the newspaper by selling its reputation, which would save much more.

He is very good at calculating accounts, and he also knows that his media empire will be very valuable in the future.

He had been taking Zhou Qibang with him all the time, simply because he was attracted by his status. He was one of the four great families in Hong Kong. What a good tiger skin! At least before the new four great families emerged, using Zhou Qibang's name saved money and effort.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qibang became cheerful. He thought that newspapers and magazines do have some things in common. He might as well learn from them!
So he laughed and said:

“After teaching so many principles, life is not easy.

Brother, what you said makes so much sense!

Hahaha!
As an older brother, how can I take advantage of my younger brother?
I paid exactly what I should have, haha.

But I don't worry about the management, brother, you can do more work! I'll let Lawyer Qiu come to you and listen to your instructions."

Zhou Qibang had no interest in the newspaper, even though little brother Wang Yuanchao spoke eloquently.

After all, even the photos in newspapers are in black and white and are very ugly, far inferior to the color photos in magazines.

Ten thousand or so yuan, not even pocket money, his father's box here costs one hundred thousand yuan a month! Of course, that was in the past, so he could come and book the box at any time.

He doesn't want to take advantage of his younger brother.

As for the acquisition of sealed assets, just arrange someone to help.

He is very optimistic about his younger brother Wang Yuanchao. So far, his judgment of the general situation has been relatively accurate, which is a very important ability for a big family.

Because of these judgments, he also gained a certain degree of recognition from his father. Otherwise, his father would not have given him this extra support.

Although the support is limited, it is incomparable to the previous law firm.

He had no intention of competing with his elder brother, and the family property was divided equally.

But which son doesn’t want to prove to his father that he is great?
Maybe I won't necessarily win, but if I don't try, I will definitely not be able to compete with my big brother, who is already the general manager of a Chinese bank!

But Tan Yueqing smiled and said:
"Brother Yuanchao said it very well. The most important thing for a person is to be happy. Your brother Qibang and I just want to do something happy!"

Wang Yuanchao said:

“Work hard, enjoy life while you can, and live with a clear conscience.

By the way, Brother Qibang, you also need to arrange for a financial officer to come over to help us grow bigger and stronger. Even though we are brothers, we have to settle accounts clearly. I can’t take advantage of you, Brother Qibang!

You have helped me so much."

Zhou Qibang almost burst out laughing and said:

"I invested a total of 10 yuan. Oh, it's almost 11 yuan. What's the point of calculating it?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

“As for rules, it’s best to establish them at the beginning.

Now, Asia Media is still an inconspicuous fish egg, no bigger than a sesame seed, but in the future, who knows if it will grow into a giant bluefin tuna two or three meters long?

Brother Qibang, if you are happy to be a hands-off boss, that is your business, but if you want to rest assured, that is my business, isn't that right?"

Zhou Qibang laughed out loud. Although he really didn’t care about the money, he liked others’ respect!
Wang Yuanchao said slowly:
"Actually, cinemas and nightclubs are not bad either."

Nightclub, this is a bit on Zhou Qibang and his wife's mind, spotlight, stage, cocktail party...

Zhou Qibang drank his glass of wine silently and said:

"When I make a lot of money from this market, we can open a nightclub, the largest nightclub in Hong Kong, what do you think?"
