Chapter 1008: Newly Opened

~18 min read 3,406 words

Qiang Mujie never expected that Wang Yan could be so dog-like.

He wanted to find Boss Abao to take revenge, but now he found that Lingzi had actually walked together with Wang Yan, which made him unwilling to accept it.

He came out as a villain, after all, he was here to find trouble with Boss Abao. But at this moment, he actually felt that Wang Yan was the biggest villain...

Stabilizing his mind a bit, he let out a long breath, turned back to Lingzi and smiled: "Do you know about the matter between me and Boss Abao back then?"

"I know now." Lingzi shook her wine glass, "I remember in the middle of '91, Boss Abao came back after making money and celebrated at Ye Dongjing. At that time, Wang Laoban shared five million, and Bao Zong earned even more, ten million wouldn't stop it."

Qiang Mujie felt more pain, but he could endure it. He still smiled: "You are opening in a few days, and I am also opening in a few days."

"I'm not interested in stocks. You also know, I'm just a waitress, I don't understand those things."

"Actually, stocks are very simple."

"That's for you. I don't understand. Oh, Wang Laoban doesn't understand either. Although he made some money in the stock market, it was all based on luck."

Getting stabbed again, Qiang Mujie was still strong: "Wang Yan doesn't understand, but Boss Abao understands. They are in the same group. He has more money than Boss Abao. I think Boss Abao should have already borrowed money from him, right?"

"Seems like I heard it was pulling Wang Laoban to join in, not borrowing money. However, I don't ask about business matters. I don't understand even if I ask. I don't know exactly how much money Wang Laoban put in. After all, going to Shenzhen to earn your money before was Bao Zong pulling Wang Laoban to join in. Now that you are here to settle accounts with them, Wang Laoban must have put out money."

Lingzi took a sip of wine, still smiling at Qiang Mujie.

Qiang Mujie sighed: "Nearly four years have passed, everything has changed."

"You just said I haven't changed, still the same as before."

"You haven't changed, but your attitude toward me has changed. Between us, it's not at all like the intimacy of old friends who haven't seen each other for many years. You are guarding against me."

"I really don't know. I don't care about you fighting to the death?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will earn all the money of Wang Yan and Boss Abao?"

"We'll talk about it then. After all, who knows about the future? Maybe you earn all their money, or maybe they earn all your money. It's hard to say now. Old friends meeting, talking about so many irrelevant things, that's why it's boring. Here, drink."

Lingzi picked up the wine again, poured half a glass for Qiang Mujie, and collided with his glass with her own.

Qiang Mujie stood up, picked up the wine glass, drank it down cleanly, and then placed the glass on the table slowly and forcefully, "It's getting late, you rest early. I will come to support when you open. Leave me a table, see you again."

"Okay, see you again." Lingzi smiled.

Qiang Mujie, who had already reached the door, stopped, turned his body, and said firmly with his dying tone: "I'll earn it for you to see."

After saying that, he left decisively...

But Qiang Mujie didn't know, and if he knew, he might want to die. Lingzi, who was sweating profusely, with flushed cheeks and uneven breathing, lay in Wang Yan's arms and told this matter as a joke.

"Heard it? He said he wanted to earn all your money. So, I think the safest thing is for you to give me the money and I'll save it for you. I'm just opening a restaurant, not doing big business, and not doing stocks. It's very safe. In case you go bankrupt and owe more than you can pay, the money here is enough for us to live very well, and it also saves you from going to set up a stall to sell lamb skewers."

"The abacus is really loud." Wang Yan shook his head, amused, "Giving you money and not spending it, like a miser."

"Oh, Wang Laoban's tone is really big. Did the money come from a strong wind? Now that you have money, you don't consider the future. What will you do when the time comes? You can't really go to set up a stall to sell lamb skewers. People save money and live frugally to get rich through hard work. Unlike you, who is extravagant. I tell you, if you don't take it seriously now, you will regret it sooner or later."

"Of course you have to live frugally when you have no money, and you have to get rich through hard work. When you have money, you don't care so much. Besides, if you don't spend money, how can others get rich?"

"You have all the reasons. I'll see what you do when your money is earned by Qiang Mujie."

"No confidence in me?"

"He is a college student, went to Japan to study abroad, and worked in a Japanese company. He has walked to the present in just a few years, it's definitely not simple. You don't understand stocks, and Bao Zong is a wild way, without professional knowledge." Lingzi shook her head, "Do you know what Qiang Mujie said to me?"

Wang Yan smiled and chimed in: "How did he say?"

"He said that when it comes to stocks, no one in Shanghai is better than him. I feel that you and Bao Zong are not his opponents. I think you are also looking for trouble, if it really doesn't work, then don't do stocks, why compete with others where they are good at it? And it's still throwing real money into it?"

"It's not me, it's Bao Zong. He wants to be a broker, and he is currently preparing for the listing of the clothing company. Doing this one time, he can be considered the same as Qiang Mujie in the future. And besides stocks, his main business is clothing. Operating the clothing company to go public is good for him."

Lingzi asked: "What if you lose?"

"If you lose, you become Boss Abao. However, he still has a few pieces of land in his hands. Now the land price is higher day by day, which can be considered his retreat. He can still be Bao Zong in the future. What's more, there is still the clothing business, which he is familiar with, so it won't be too bad."

"And you?"

"I won't lose."

Lingzi curled her lips: "You men are just stubborn. You don't even understand stocks, yet you say you won't lose."

"I don't understand stocks, but I still have money. I can lose until others can't afford to win."

"How much money do you have? Tell me, I guarantee I won't tell anyone." Lingzi rubbed against Wang Yan and acted like a spoiled child.

"Don't know, haven't counted. Actually, counting is useless, it's not fixed. It differs a lot before and after a day. Maybe earned a sum, maybe settled accounts for others, etc."

Wang Yan shook his head with a smile, then changed the subject and smiled, "I heard from Li Li that Qiang Mujie is specifically targeting Bao Zong because of you. Did he talk to you about feelings?"

"What else is there to talk about? He was stunned when he saw the business license. Let me tell you..."

Lingzi was somewhat emotional, but also shared the process of meeting Qiang Mujie with Wang Yan with some smiles.

If Qiang Mujie knew that his deep love was just idle talk for Lingzi to pass the time while communicating with Wang Yan, he would probably want to die...

Time passed steadily. The fierce confrontation in the stock market had no impact on people who didn't care about the stock market. Perhaps it was because of the condemnation of Wang Yan and others, Tao Tao also started to take care of his family these few days, and the farce where Fang Mei almost had a miscarriage and Tao Tao was beaten up by Fang Mei's family didn't happen. I heard Fang Mei was very happy.

It was also these few days that Qiang Mujie increased his offensive, constantly pulling high and low, buying on this side and selling on that side, provoking the emotions of retail investors, and also consuming Boss Abao's funds.

However, because Wang Yan hadn't added money yet, Qiang Mujie didn't smash the market with a sell order of 15 million shares as in the original drama. At that time, the stock price was more than ten yuan. To catch these 15 million shares, 160 million funds were needed. At that time, whether it was retail investors, Boss Abao's team, or the arrogant Kirin Society, they were all smashed and confused. This is the power of big capital.

But now Qiang Mujie didn't dare to do so, because Wang Yan's strength was there. Who knew if he could come up with so much money? If he really caught it with one hand, Qiang Mujie would have to jump off the building.

After all, he smashed it all the way from more than twenty yuan. The floating loss in this was at least 60 million. In this way, counting the 30 million funds of Lin Tai that were drawn before, and because Wang Yan took over, the stock price rose, and Qiang Mujie had to continue to spend money to grab stocks together, it would be more than 100 million. Qiang Mujie couldn't jump off the building.

This was the beginning of '94, money was still money.

So Qiang Mujie maintained the greatest respect for Wang Yan and fought a very restrained war of attrition with Boss Abao. It seemed that he was determined to grind Boss Abao to death.

After persisting for less than ten days, Boss Abao couldn't hold on anymore and finally called Wang Yan, asking Wang Yan to eat at the Peace Hotel.

Wang Yan accepted the invitation happily.

"Long time no see, Wang Laoban."

"Master Ye." Wang Yan raised his head at the old man, "Are you well?"

"I'm energetic." When speaking, Master Ye also patted his chest, "But you, I heard you have a daughter?"

"Tao Tao said it, right?"

Watching Boss Abao nod, Wang Yan smiled, "The child is quite good, seven jin four liang, everyone says it's a big fat girl."

"A blessing." Master Ye smiled and patted Wang Yan's arm, "Sit down and eat. Now that I've encountered a difficult matter, I have to ask you, Wang Laoban, to come out."

"Master Ye, what are you saying? We are all friends. Can't hold on?"

Boss Abao was still as exquisite as before, but the dark circles under his eyes showed that his rest recently was not good, and his eyes were full of fatigue, without the spirit of the past.

He said: "Qiang Mujie has means, Nanguo Investment has abundant funds. He drew Lin Tai's money before, causing me to fall into a disadvantage, but after all, I gathered more than 100 million funds..."

Boss Abao only thought Wang Yan didn't understand stocks, so he spoke very detailed, and even told Wang Yan how to earn money by pulling high and low, how he lost money, etc.

"Now, whether it's me or the Kirin Society, we can't hold on anymore. It's the same principle as fighting a war. When two armies fight, the process of winning may be slow, but losing is a big rout, and nothing is left..."

After talking about a lot of principles, Boss Abao finally drank a large mouthful of strong wine and made the final summary, "To win, you need more funds."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Give me a number."

"One hundred million, I won't take a cent of the profit." Boss Abao stared at Wang Yan tightly. Saying this number, his heart was about to stop.

Everything was because of the inequality between the two sides, why did he open his mouth? Not to mention that he opened his mouth for one hundred million.

The five million before, Wang Yan had already put out thirty million, and it was still self-responsibility for gains and losses, basically throwing money into it, which was considered meaningful enough. Now he opened his mouth to ask for money, which was that he owed Wang Yan, but in terms of reality, he didn't have the ability to repay this favor equally.

As for any profit, he was about to lose his family fortune now. Wang Yan put out this money, he could save it, and could make money again.

Master Ye also looked at Wang Yan like this. They had done it for so many years, and it was all in this one. Although he still had the order for jeans, which was also the safety channel he often talked about, who wanted to lose if they could earn.

Wang Yan didn't hesitate and nodded directly: "I'll give you 150 million, go dry Qiang Mujie for me, and by the way, destroy that group of old immortals in the Kirin Society. As for the profit, you take five points, there is no reason not to make money for working. Don't be embarrassed, I don't like Qiang Mujie and the others either. Now it's taking money to find a thug, you just destroy them all. Tomorrow morning, my accountant will come over."

Boss Abao smashed his fist on the table: "Thank you, Wang Laoban, for your support and trust. Don't worry, I will definitely make them have no return."

"Try your best."

"Wang Laoban is really straightforward." Master Ye also chimed in on the side.

"We are all friends, it's only right to help. However, Bao Zong, after destroying them, don't press down the stock price to cash out. You know I don't like letting retail investors take over. I'm not in a hurry to use money, you can sell it slowly. Or you can directly seize the power of the clothing company, there are many operations, it depends on yourself."

"Understood!"

Boss Abao said sonorously, his eyes red.

On one hand, he was moved by Wang Laoban's loyalty, and on the other hand, he was also determined, must destroy Qiang Mujie, otherwise he would really be sorry for Wang Laoban's trust.

His sense of mission, Wang Yan felt it, and could understand it. After all, they were just friends, and opening his mouth to borrow 100 million to smash the stock market was already very lacking in force, but he not only didn't refuse, but also actively increased the amount. Anyone would feel liver and gallbladder shining together, going up the mountain of knives and down the sea of fire.

Although Wang Yan really couldn't stand Qiang Mujie and the Kirin Society, who knew if helping Boss Abao was a compensation for his mental loss...

He smiled and waved his hand: "Eat, let's chat together. Speaking of which, it's really been a long time since I saw Master Ye."

The three of them were like this, eating and drinking together.

Wang Yan listened to Boss Abao's high-spirited declaration again...

"Your analysis is quite right." Wang Yan nodded shamelessly.

"I knew it." Miss Wang's eyes widened in anger, and she threw a punch without mercy.

Although she had already accepted this version of Wang Yan, she still couldn't help but get angry.

This is human nature, and Wang Yan understands it very well. Even though every time she is in deep communication with Miss Wang, she is unable to hold on, often sighing and often understanding, she is no longer herself once she gets out of bed.

Facing Miss Wang's unhappiness, Wang Yan generally chooses to "sleep-convince" her; fill her up once, and have peace for a week...

Jinxian Road is very lively today because of the grand reopening of Night Tokyo. Friends sent flower baskets and set off firecrackers to celebrate. Some old customers from the past were very respectful and sent people to deliver flower baskets; it wasn't affected at all by Bao Zong's absence. After all, one Bao Zong left, and a bigger Wang Laoban came.

Legends of Wang Laoban have always circulated in the underworld, and Wang Laoban's business is truly massive...

"Oh my, what's the use of having so many flower baskets? There isn't a single table of guests." Teacher Ge stood at the entrance of Ling Hong's boutique and said so.

"What's there to be anxious about? What time is it now?" Ling Hong said this, then turned and asked, "Where is Tao Tao?"

"He went to pick up his group of friends, saying he wants to come and support the scene."

"Make a phone call and tell them to dress more formally."

"I told them long ago; they are all like me." Teacher Ge looked at his own small suit, then turned his head to look at Wang Yan, who was wearing a half-sleeve shirt, shorts, and sneakers next to him. "Oh my, Little Northeast, it's your own business, yet you don't care? Why are you dressed so casually?"

"This is a restaurant for eating; just bring your mouth."

"Oh my, it's not that I'm lecturing you, Wang Laoban, but you have no style." Ling Hong looked disgusted. "It's a waste of all your money; it's not like you don't have suits and leather shoes, and they are all custom-made by old tailors. If you don't wear them, are you keeping them to collect dust?"

"I wear this same outfit when I go to the municipal government. It's just opening a restaurant, what's the difference?"

Seeing Wang Yan holding a cigarette and looking nonchalant, Teacher Ge and Ling Hong both fell silent.

Wang Yan raised an eyebrow at Ling Hong and asked with a smile: "Do I have style?"

"You have the most style; this is true high-class, Wang Laoban. We are all vulgar people; the less we have, the more we show off. We aren't on the same level or in the same realm." Ling Hong gave a thumbs up.

Seeing Wang Yan looking at him, Teacher Ge decided to ignore him and turned to leave: "I'm going to call Tao Tao and remind him again; he's not reliable."

Ling Hong curled her lips and also took the opportunity to escape from the pretentious Wang Laoban, saying: "Don't worry, Teacher Ge, he is most reliable with these things. He probably had Fang Mei checking what clothes were appropriate at home early this morning."

Regarding this, Wang Yan and Ling Hong held the same opinion; Ling Hong had a very good grasp of Tao Tao's temperament.

At this moment, a busy Lingzi walked out of the shop and came to Wang Yan: "Why haven't any people come yet?"

"It's only past nine, and today is a workday, where would people come from? Haven't the flower baskets all arrived? People will definitely come; I estimate it will be another two hours. Instead of worrying, you'd better go prepare more; don't be flustered and unable to handle things by noon."

"You, this shareholder, are just standing here watching?"

"What? You still want me, this shareholder, to go do manual labor?"

Rolling her eyes, Lingzi turned and said: "Qiang Mujie called me just now, saying he's coming over for dinner tonight. You are here all day today, so you will definitely run into each other. Don't cause any trouble. It's a grand opening, don't bring me bad luck."

Wang Yan shook his head: "I can't even be bothered to pay attention to him; it's just that because of past matters and because of you, he's hell-bent on making my money."

"Of course I know that, and to tell you the truth, I don't really like his attitude. But guests are guests, and he's an old friend of many years, so it's not good to make things awkward."

"Do you take me for a child? Alright, alright, go do your work."

Lingzi slapped Wang Yan in dissatisfaction and went into Ling Hong's boutique to see what Teacher Ge and the others were doing...
