The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1440: Chapter 564: Come Out and Talk_2

The benefits manifest in times like these. Even though President Mu helped to connect with the factory in Nanshan District, it would be impossible to secure such a prime location without strong support from influential leaders.

This is when the other shareholders come into play.

Take a look at who are the founding shareholders of Wangzhou Pharmaceutical?

Zhang Group, Shen Yun Digital run by Qiu Zeyu’s mother, a securities company controlled by Zhou Zihan’s father, and a group of Beidou elites represented by Yan Lingchuan.

They may not excel at other things, but networking is undoubtedly their innate skill.

So, without much trouble, Young Master Qiu found a senior official in Nanshan District to help...

Yan Lingchuan also proactively called Zhou Wang, saying that if Young Master Qiu’s route didn’t work, he could help connect with Guangfu Province.

In short, with this dual guarantee, Zhou Wang really couldn’t find a reason not to secure this factory.

Not to mention, they are a legitimate high-tech enterprise, with all procedures compliant and legal, and will bring significant tax revenue to Nanshan District in the future.

Of course, Young Master Qiu was discreet and didn’t directly mention who he sought help from, but Zhou Wang immediately understood that this big boss was someone connected by Qiu Zeyu.

This is the art of language.

”It’s all thanks to the strong support of the leaders, of course, we will also cherish the excellent conditions provided by the district to make ’Wangzhou Pharmaceutical’ a flagship company in the area...”

Zhou Wang naturally spoke eloquently.

In fact, he doubted whether these leaders really knew what Wangzhou Pharmaceutical did, or if they had heard of the ”Little Blue Bottle,” but it was no longer important...

One day, they would understand who truly benefits from Wangzhou Pharmaceutical’s factory being established in Nanshan District.

Zhou Wang had this confidence.

After the formalities of the ceremony were completed, the district leaders graciously attended the banquet, although they didn’t drink and only tasted the dishes before leaving separately.

These days, everything on the surface is very formal, and Zhou Wang could understand their concerns, so after the luncheon, he personally visited several key leaders before leaving work, delivering a few small gifts.

Gifts that were genuinely ”small.”

The way of gifting was also very particular, you couldn’t give it directly, but only pretend to accidentally leave it behind or ask the driver to pass it on, so if they felt it was inappropriate, both sides could have a buffer.

Once everything was done and emerging from the big boss’s house, it was already nightfall filled with stars. Zhou Wang sat in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, while Huang Duming got into the passenger seat, pulling out an invoice from his pocket to hand over to Zhou Wang.

”Mr. Zhou, this is the invoice for all today’s expenditures...”

”Later, tell Xu Wenqian to report it through the Wangzhou Club’s public account... Oh right, no matter the amount, add another fifty thousand to it.”

Zhou Wang, resting with his eyes closed, waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t want to see it.

Just had dinner at the big boss’s house, while there was no alcohol at noon, quite a bit was consumed at this evening’s meal.

Notably, the drinking capacity of people of this caliber is genuinely remarkable, almost seeming to correlate with their rank. The 53-degree ”Iron Cap Moutai,” aged almost thirty years, was consumed by the big boss alone, almost a bottle and a half.

Zhou Wang drank only half a bottle and was starting to feel ”overpowered by alcohol.”

Of course, he was not actually drunk yet, but further drinking would have been too much. Unless absolutely necessary, Zhou Wang always managed self-control well in this aspect.

Huang Duming hesitated for a moment upon hearing this but quickly realized that the fifty thousand was a ”hardship allowance” for him personally, and he quickly shook his hand to refuse:

”Mr. Zhou, I can’t accept this, I just ran errands...”

”You’ve hardly had any rest in Peng City these past days, running back and forth, I’ve noticed. Besides, didn’t I just deduct three months’ bonus from you? Consider this a bit of compensation, no need to refuse. The ongoing factory construction here will still require your attention, it’s likely to be very demanding...”

Zhou Wang stated this in an indisputable tone, waving his hand.

”Well then, thank you very much, Mr. Zhou, rest assured, I will keep a close watch on this matter.”

”Yes, not only watching, but you should also expedite the progress, I’d like to see the first batch of products hitting the market before the end of the year.”

Zhou Wang casually threw out a sentence, immediately increasing the pressure on Huang Duming.

Nonetheless, on the surface, Huang Duming appeared confident, responding affirmatively, then tentatively added:

”By the way, Mr. Zhou, Miss Wang from the city TV station said she wanted to do a personal interview with you, what do you think...”

Zhou Wang mentally sorted things out to recall who it was. While the host was quite good-looking, he couldn’t vividly remember her features, just that she seemed to have a decent figure.

As for the so-called ”personal interview,” it was clearly just a gimmick. What she really wanted to explore was presumably not Zhou Wang’s achievements...

From her eager gaze in the morning, Zhou Wang sensed this.

”Decline it.”

Zhou Wang first shook his head, then added, ”Or just say I’m not available recently, maybe in the future...”

”Got it, understood.”

Huang Duming nodded, then asked, ”Mr. Zhou, should we head back to the hotel or...”

”We’re headed to Hong Kong tomorrow, right?”

Zhou Wang initially wanted to say to head straight back to the hotel but suddenly remembered something and asked.

”Yes, all travel documents have been handled by President Mu, and the vehicles are ready. According to Lawyer Qi’s arrangements, you should arrive in Hong Kong Island tomorrow...”

”Then let’s not go back to the hotel, head to a lively place instead... I’ve been in Peng City for almost a week without seeing the city’s nightlife, time for a little tour.”

The first few days were spent touring various sites, most daytime visits were to shopping centers, which led to Zhou Wang’s decision.

Zhou Wang’s casual ”take me anywhere” left Xiao Wang, the driver, at a bit of a loss.

Given Peng City’s vastness and its claim as the youngest ”City That Never Sleeps,” there are many lively spots at night, making it hard to decide where to go.

Fortunately, Huang Duming noticed Xiao Wang’s dilemma, proactively pulling out his phone to navigate to an address, to which Xiao Wang gratefully acknowledged before starting the vehicle.

A drive of roughly ten minutes brought the Rolls-Royce Phantom to a slow stop along the street, attracting much attention. Zhou Wang peered out at the bustling streets and the cyberpunk-ish skyline, exclaiming in surprise:

”Where is this?”

”Mr. Zhou, this is near Futian CBD, flanked by Futian COCOPark and Galaxy COCOCity. It’s considered the core area of Peng City’s nightlife, likely featuring everything you might be interested in...”

Admittedly, Huang Duming knew Zhou Wang quite well, aware of his preference for urban landscapes infused with cultural elements over pure natural scenery, which is why he navigated directly here.

Noting this, Zhou Wang nodded and exited the vehicle.

Seeing Huang Duming and Xiao Wang also preparing to move, he raised a hand to stop them, ”Find a place to park, I’m going to stroll around on my own.”

After stating this, Zhou Wang wandered into the lively night market next door on his own, starting his exploration.

As he passed a milk tea shop, Zhou Wang bought two cups of milk tea and continued down the road, veering into a relatively empty side street.

Upon noticing a long bench near the greenery ahead, Zhou Wang walked over and sat down, placing the other cup of milk tea on the other end of the bench.

Subsequently, he spoke loudly to the air in front of him:

”Hey, I’m treating you to milk tea, come out and have a chat!”
