Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1355: Chapter 1251: The Remarkable Wei Family_2

Cause and effect are orderly.

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t hide his thoughts and even used them to comfort Sun Jierui, telling him not to take it to heart.

But no matter what, Sun Jierui still couldn’t let it go.

Bai Xiaosheng could only let him be.

Dinner was quite sumptuous.

Sun Jierui didn’t waste the gourmet meal either. He directly opened his dad’s liquor cabinet, pulled out a bottle of whiskey kept in high regard, and poured it generously for everyone.

”This is a fine whiskey my dad treasures deeply. Although I don’t think it’s particularly expensive, as a gesture of sincerity, I’m willing to take a great risk and let everyone have a taste.” Sun Jierui said with unparalleled boldness.

Little Emma’s eyes sparkled. ”I know! Uncle treats this bottle like a treasure, almost like it’s on display... Can I try it?”

”In Benzhou, drinking under the age of twenty-one is illegal! I’d even have to go to jail!” Sun Jierui immediately refused.

Little Emma pouted.

”Come on, cheers!” Sun Jierui’s Chinese was fluent.

Everyone chuckled and raised their glasses to taste.

Bai Xiaosheng only took a small sip, and his expression subtly shifted.

”Red Lotus, analyze this whiskey,” Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.

From its taste to its components, from its vintage to its estimated value—Red Lotus effortlessly provided a series of data.

Sun Jierui cheerfully invited everyone to drink and continued pouring, but Bai Xiaosheng stopped him.

”Do you know what year this whiskey is from?” Bai Xiaosheng asked.

”1982,” Sun Jierui glanced at it and said, puzzled, ”Whiskey doesn’t have an expiration date, right?”

Everyone laughed.

Bai Xiaosheng smirked, ”Which 1982?”

How many 1982s could there even be?

Sun Jierui examined the date more closely, finding it a bit blurry.

At first glance, it seemed to be from 1982, but when he squinted and inspected it carefully, he froze in shock.

”What! 1882!”

A whiskey from 1882!

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were also stunned.

Compared to this bottle, the one broken in the hotel earlier suddenly didn’t seem quite so expensive...

Sun Jierui’s hands started trembling. ”This whiskey... It can’t be real!”

Gazing at the bottle, his father’s cherished treasure was now more than half empty.

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but give Sun Jierui a long, meaningful look. This guy had no idea whether his family’s wealth was truly abundant...

This whiskey was indeed authentic!

It seemed Sun Jierui’s father wasn’t simple either...

”Ha... ha-ha... everyone, please continue eating... eat well, drink well...” Sun Jierui stammered, then abruptly jumped up to return the bottle to its original place, muttering as he did, ”Before they come back, I’ll head to China, and I won’t be back for a while!”

Everyone held back their laughter.

That evening, aside from Sun Jierui’s feelings, dinner was overall a joyful affair for both host and guests...

The next morning.

Sun Jierui got up early, enjoyed a delightful Chinese breakfast, and promptly forgot about the whiskey incident.

This guy truly was carefree to a fault.

In the morning, at Bai Xiaosheng’s request, Sun Jierui drove them to the Eastern Xincheng District of Ganande City.

This time, Little Emma came along too.

On the way, Bai Xiaosheng asked about the area.

”That place is amazing; it’s a new district built by an Asian financial group. There are tons of high-tech companies, and the residential areas are eco-friendly and absolutely top-notch!” Sun Jierui raved enthusiastically.

His family’s current standalone villa, with its sprawling lawn and decades-old roadside trees, already had an excellent environment. Yet, his tone was filled with envy for the housing in East City.

Bai Xiaosheng and his companions couldn’t help but grow curious.

”Not only is the environment great, but the lifestyle technology is advanced, and the standard of living is very high!” Sun Jierui marveled, ”Truth be told, coming back here after visiting your country felt like a downgrade. Our place seems so backward—mobile payments are ridiculously inconvenient, there’s practically no sharing economy to speak of, and the labor costs are insane with shockingly low efficiency!”

Sun Jierui grumbled on.

A proper American, airing frustrations about his own country being outpaced by a developing nation across the Pacific.

Yet Bai Xiaosheng and his friends found his words rather amusing.

”But! In East City, you’ll see a completely different Ganande. It blends the strengths of both East and West, featuring mobile payments, sharing industries, and high-efficiency services! Of course, it also retains the advantages you associate with America. To me, East City truly embodies Ganande’s future potential!” Sun Jierui could not stop singing its praises.

Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze sharpened. So Ganande was actually mimicking Eastern strategies by developing a pilot district?

”I didn’t expect your local governance to have such a knack for integrating diverse strengths,” Lin Weiwei remarked with a smile.

”Ganande city officials?” Sun Jierui scoffed and dismissed the notion, ”They’re only good at collecting votes and passing absurd policies. East City has developed entirely thanks to that Asian financial group!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes lit up.

He already knew the Asian financial group mentioned by Sun Jierui was none other than the Wei Family!

Although the Wei Family still ranked below the Zhenbei Group in overall power, Zhenbei didn’t prioritize local dominance, and its towering headquarters merely served as an office space.

The Wei Family, however, seemed to treat Ganande as its stronghold and was aggressively investing resources into its development.

The fusion of Eastern and Western excellence!

Achieving such synergy pointed to the Wei Family and its leadership having remarkable strategic vision.

”Can a single financial group accomplish so much in a new district?” Lin Weiwei asked, astonished.

Before Sun Jierui could respond, Lei Ying chuckled and answered, ”In the West, the power of financial groups and conglomerates might exceed anything you could imagine.”
