The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1014: Chapter 378: Special Reasons (2)

Regarding the establishment of the Wangyuan Commerce headquarters and its Southwest Branch, Zhou Wang adopted a relatively low-profile approach. Even though many guests attended, the event was confined to a specific circle and utilized the influence of the Beijing Circle to curb media dissemination.

Zhou Wang’s approach received unanimous approval from all founding members.

Shooting the bird that stands out: considering the once-flourishing but later faded Jiangnan Association, Taishan Association, and others, organizations like theirs do not need too much fame; often, it’s necessary to control media narratives to ensure longevity.

Given the aligned interests of the Beijing Circle, controlling the media narrative is not difficult. At least for now, there is no specific information online about the Wangyuan Commerce.

There was a small episode when the Secretary who handled the specific matters of the Yunnan Province General Chamber of Commerce, overheard some rumors (likely disclosed by Cheng Qing’s father, Cheng Jingtian) and called Zhou Wang, wishing to pay a visit.

In the conversation, Secretary Bai expressed great regret over Zhou Wang’s recent failure in the executive committee election and believed that for the future healthy development of the Commerce, new forces like Zhou Wang need to step up.

It was almost as if he was telling Zhou Wang that he would certainly succeed in the next election.

Zhou Wang remained noncommittal, simply stating that he was temporarily not in Yunnan Province, after which Secretary Bai gave up.

October 15, 2024, partly cloudy, winds shifting from north to south at force 3.

Still in Jingcheng Building, only this time on the 52nd floor, ”Wangzhou Pharmaceutical” was officially inaugurated.

The establishment procedures for the pharmaceutical company were completed in just one working day, but coordinating the company premises via the Citic Group took two days.

However, after the real estate company under Citic also became a member of the Wangyuan Commerce, Zhou Wang gained free use of and preferential purchasing rights for the 51st and 52nd floors.

In this way, including the 50th floor where the Jingwang Club is located, it means that from the 50th to the 52nd floor, the building became Zhou Wang’s ”territory.”

The establishment of Wangzhou Pharmaceutical was also low-key, with the company’s initial shareholders, who were the founding members of the Wangyuan Commerce, all present. Under Zhou Wang’s chairmanship, the company held its first shareholder meeting, with few attendees, but all were heavyweight figures.

Standing on the stage, Zhou Wang was rarely a bit nervous in front of these bigwigs and even stammered a bit in the middle. However, he quickly adjusted, and with a confidence that seemed to hang in the air, he soon spoke eloquently, winning warm applause by the end of the meeting.

Even though Wangzhou Pharmaceutical is established, the actual debut of the ”Little Blue Bottle” still requires some time.

After all, it involves factory construction, product development, and other tedious processes. Of course, this ”some time” is only the case for Zhou Wang; for those bigwigs accustomed to the ebb and flow, a month or two is nothing more than the blink of an eye.

The general manager of Wangzhou Pharmaceutical, recommended by Qiu Zeyu, was a seasoned, stable old plant manager who once led a major state-owned pharmaceutical enterprise.

Of course, as Zhou Wang rightly deserved, Huang Duming, whom Zhou Wang intended to cultivate as his future representative in Beidou, also served concurrently as the company’s supervisor.

Zhou Wang did not hold any position in Wangzhou Pharmaceutical, but given 51% of the company’s shares are under Wangzhou Culture, that posed no issue.

In addition, Lin Ran, acting as the secretary-general of the Wangyuan Commerce headquarters, suddenly found his work becoming busier and sometimes found it difficult to attend to Zhou Wang’s personal needs.

This led Zhou Wang to once again lament about the insufficiency of personnel around him; the team probably needs further expansion.

October 16, 2024, the weather was slightly overcast, with occasional tiny raindrops drifting from the sky, landing on the yellowing base of leaves by the roadside.

The leaves were soon crushed, as a minibus with white plates drove along the road and slowly stopped at the entrance of the Tsinghua Art College, attracting curious glances from passing pedestrians.

Soon, the car door opened, and amidst the astonished gazes of some passing teachers and students, a woman with long hair tied up, revealing a fair and serene face, stepped off the vehicle dragging her suitcase.

”Wow, it’s Senior Sister Jiang!”

”It really is... I heard from another senior previously that Senior Sister Jiang also studies in our art college; I thought he was boasting, but it turns out to be true...”

Most people were captivated by the woman’s looks and aura, but some also recognized her at a glance and couldn’t help but whisper excitedly.

”Jiang Mo from Central Music,” ”Piano Goddess,” ”Moonlight Solist”...

Those terms that once dominated the trending list that night, even after half a month, remained vividly in some people’s memories.

For nearly a week afterward, even though other trending terms faded, the three words ”Senior Sister Jiang” stuck to the list, sometimes even climbing higher.

The origin of the term ”Senior Sister” is now obscure. No one knows who first uttered it in the bullet comments, but later everyone called Jiang Mo this way.

Because these two words not only strongly matched Jiang Mo’s poised aura but also vaguely aligned with most people’s most beautiful fantasy of these words, the name somehow rendered a sense of affection. Therefore, in Central Music and the Tsinghua Art College, whether older or younger than Jiang Mo, everyone addressed her this way.

Thus, in these two places, Jiang Mo’s influence is hard to diminish, continuously extending daily through Tieba, forums, and other mediums.
