Chapter 431: Moths to a Flame

Dongling Gao Ke was still busy, while Li Dongling rushed to Xiyuan in the provincial capital, took a plane from the provincial capital to Pengcheng, and then rushed to Xiangjiang.

Li Dongling felt it was time to purchase a private business jet. Traveling would be more convenient, and he wouldn't have to wait for flights to the provincial capital every time. Not only Li Dongling, but the executives of Dongling Gao Ke also needed to fly all over the country and even overseas.

Now in the country, there is already the first private jet, which is Zhang Yue of the Xiangnan Yuanda Group, whom Li Dongling met when he was in Yanjing before. He just purchased a Cessna private jet and became the first person in the country to own a private jet!

Many domestic media are reporting this matter extensively, which has caused the popularity of Zhang Yue's Yuanda Company to soar by a large margin.

As for the many wealthy people in Xiangjiang, quite a few own their own private jets, flying in Southeast Asia, Old Europe, America, and other places.

Xiangjiang at this moment is the most paper-drunk and gold-obsessed place in Asia. Except for the fact that luxury homes have shrunk a bit and cannot compare to the area of manors and luxury homes inhabited by the old white money in Old Europe, the rest—sports cars, private jets, helicopters, yachts, racing-level horses, etc. —are all available, and even more extravagant.

After boarding the plane, Li Dongling looked at the documents in his hand. Last night, Yang Bohua called and basically agreed to the conditions put forward by Li Dongling.

This also means that Dongling Gao Ke's acquisition of Hong Kong Telecom has received support domestically.

However, this matter is not something to be anxious about. Being anxious not only means you can't eat hot tofu, but you might also be pitted by the other party.

The English people withdrawing from Xiangjiang is already a nail in the coffin. The later they withdraw, the more unfavorable it is for them. It's not Dongling Gao Ke that is anxious.

At the entrance of a star-rated hotel in Xiangjiang, several sports cars drove over. A man in his thirties got off. After getting off, the man threw the sports car key to the valet who had been waiting on the side.

With a wave of his hand, a young actress who had just debuted in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry got off the car and leaned into the man's arms. The whole set of actions was flowing like water, vividly expressing the words "rich and powerful" and "romantic."

"Zhao Ge, after eating afternoon tea later, do you want to go to the racecourse to let us see your new horse?"

"Or let's take a yacht out. I just got a new yacht yesterday. Let's take a few models and small stars out to sea to blow the wind!"

Zhao Shinan, who had just hugged the little star, was surrounded by several people. These people were all sons of wealthy families in Xiangjiang, whose families were in grain and oil companies, shipping companies, textile mills, gambling companies, construction, etc. Although they were not giant companies in Xiangjiang, their family backgrounds were quite good, and the valuation of their family companies was over 10 million.

A group of people said to Zhao Shinan in a jumble. Zhao Shinan laughed when he heard it, and then said, "Tonight, I want to attend a cocktail party held by Liang Zong of Peregrine. At that time, Citibank, HSBC, and some big families in Xiangjiang will attend, so I can't get away!"

"Is it Liang Botao, the president of Peregrine Investment Bank?"

Hearing Zhao Shinan mention Peregrine, the people surrounding him couldn't help but show surprised expressions.

Peregrine is now the largest investment group in Xiangjiang and was established by Chinese people. It is the largest investment group in Asia outside of Japan, including financing, investment, securities, futures, foreign exchange, and other businesses. It currently manages more than 24 billion Hong Kong dollars in funds.

It is rumored that all the big figures in Xiangjiang, including the Changjiang Li family, the Henderson Li family, the Guo family, and a large group of wealthy people in Xiangjiang, Singapore, and Malaysia, have handed over their money to Peregrine for investment, and Peregrine can earn a large amount of income for the gold masters every year!

In addition, the companies listed in Xiangjiang from the mainland, including Sitong, Legend, etc., were all operated by Peregrine. One can imagine how influential it is.

Now quite a few media outlets are mentioning Peregrine in the same breath as Hang Seng, the largest bank in Xiangjiang also established by Chinese people.

I don't know if this kind of flattery is flattering Peregrine or full of malice. After all, Hang Seng Bank, once the most famous and powerful Chinese-funded bank in Xiangjiang and even Southeast Asia, was swallowed by HSBC. Comparing Peregrine to Hang Seng Bank is worth savoring.

Peregrine made the two founders, Liang Botao and the Englishman Du Weilian, guests of honor in the Xiangjiang celebrity circle. A group of wealthy people and celebrities in Xiangjiang all want to catch Peregrine's express train, put their money into Peregrine, and get huge returns every year.

The cocktail party held by Peregrine president Liang Botao has its grade and face directly filled in Xiangjiang. Those who can be invited are all big figures with names and surnames in Xiangjiang!

Among the group around Zhao Shinan, let alone them, even their fathers are not qualified to attend Liang Botao's cocktail party.

And Zhao Shinan can attend, can contact those big figures, and even have a relationship with several major wealthy families in Xiangjiang. How can this not make them envious?

The little actress who had just debuted and hadn't participated in any movies or TV shows, leaning in Zhao Shinan's arms, looked at Zhao Shinan with glowing eyes, feeling that Zhao Shinan didn't seem to be that stingy...

Xiangjiang actresses, except for some, are very keen on marrying into wealthy families. Don't look at those media in Xiangjiang who are so keen on celebrity gossip, but from wealthy families to ordinary society, there is no fanatical flattery for celebrities. They just treat it as a profession. Even in the eyes of wealthy families, actresses are just actors...

No matter how famous the actress is, she is just an actor. In this day and age, even famous actresses don't have particularly high incomes. Even for famous actresses, there are reports of wealthy people dating them, and the cost is only 500,000 Hong Kong dollars a month.

And marrying into a wealthy family is completely different. Needless to say, the status is improved by a large margin. Compared to when she was an actor, it is almost a completely different life.

As for the little actress who is with Zhao Shinan now, the reason she is with Zhao Shinan is because she just debuted and has high expenses. Relying on her intermittent schedule, except for appearing on magazines a few times, she doesn't know when she will become famous. Relying on Zhao Shinan, she might be able to have some resources.

In the month she has been with Zhao Shinan, Zhao Shinan only gave her a bag worth tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, and the car he promised to give her is still far away. But Zhao Shinan is willing to open a top-level suite in a hotel, just to be comfortable when going to bed...

"With the strength of Zhao Ge's family, isn't it natural to attend Liang Botao's cocktail party?!"

"Zhao Ge, don't forget to pull us when you get rich in the future!"

Several people said flattering words to Zhao Shinan in a jumble. Zhao Shinan's ancestors came from rubber plantations in Southeast Asia and later came to Xiangjiang, but the Zhao family had many descendants, and Zhao Shinan was not the eldest son in the family.

After returning from studying in England, Zhao Shinan started a construction company and leasing business. Recently, relying on stock market investment, his net worth has grown rapidly. Coupled with his romantic nature and the speed of changing women, which is faster than changing clothes, he has gained some fame in Xiangjiang, but the women he associates with, although quite a few, have really poor evaluations of him.

There are little actresses who have dated Zhao Shinan who have complained to gossip magazines that Zhao Shinan is very stingy and rarely spends money on women. Even if he gives jewelry, necklaces, brand-name bags, etc., he will ask for the things he gave away back after breaking up, using heirlooms or other reasons. In order to prevent being calculated, he firmly disagrees with the women he dates to give birth to his children.

Every little actress who breaks up with Zhao Shinan basically makes a mess, but there is no shortage of people who want to marry into a wealthy family, fantasizing that she can make Zhao Shinan return to her heart, so there are still women constantly rushing to him like moths to a flame, so Zhao Shinan is never short of women around him...

When Zhao Shinan was surrounded by a group of people and walking towards the hotel, one of them suddenly said to Zhao Shinan, "Zhao Ge, isn't that Ning Wanke of the Ning family? She even rejected your invitation before..."

Zhao Shinan also saw Ning Wanke, who was obviously dressed up, at the entrance of the hotel at this time. Zhao Shinan's face changed slightly, and then he let go of the little star in his arms, ignoring the little star who was pouting, straightened his hair with hair wax, and walked towards Ning Wanke. ===== CHAPTER 432 =====
