I'm A Baller - Chapter 223
Chapter 223: Living in the Same World?
Huang Xu was the type of person who seemed cold and aloof at first glance, but in reality, he liked to show off.
However, when he showed off, he chose the right person.
He did not care about most ordinary people at all. He was proud of his status and easily ignored them.
For example, at the party on Lin Weiwei’s birthday, he and Guo Zihao were clearly playing in the same room, but they did not say a word to each other. In the end, as he did not like Wang Yan, then only he asked Guo Zihao to drink with him.
In the eyes of such people, level was very obvious and important.
Those level wasn’t high enough, he was too lazy to mingle with them.
Only those who were high enough could stimulate his interest.
Among them, Wang Yan was the most able to stimulate Huang Xu’s sense of achievement and superiority.
A KTV loss of face and a car accident saved by Wang Yan, these two things had left deep marks in Huang Xu’s heart.
At least half of the reason why he had urged Lin Baizhou to mingle with the girls today was because he heard that Wang Yan was coming.
Wang Yan didn’t know the twists and turns, but Huang Xu’s desire to show off was very strong. Fu Guige could see it.
Anyway, it had nothing to do with me. I would mingle with him for a while, and then I would drag Liu Li back to the hotel… hehehe!
Wang was thinking about something wonderful when Huang Xu suddenly stuffed a bottle of beer to him.
“Come, Young Master Wang, let’s have a drink!”
What did he mean?
You really wanted to lie down, didn’t you?!
Wang Yan was puzzled when Huang Xu suddenly grabbed his left hand and raised it high up.
“My brother! Young Master Wang! Friendship of life savior!”
Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched him perform. Then, this guy gulped down a big mouthful of wine in the bottle, wiped his mouth, and looked at Wang Yan with a gay gaze.
“Brother, follow me! I won’t care about others. As long as you want to participate, I’ll definitely bring you along!”
F*ck!
You scared me…
Wang Yan silently withdrew the wine bottle in his right hand.
He was really close to swing the bottle at him just now.
This fellow was really crazy!
“I’m not interested!”
Wang Yan withdrew his left hand unhappily and shook his head.
“Brother! My this business is absolutely reliable. It’s been proven for a long time! And I have a unique resource! It’s almost impossible to lose money!”
Huang Xu was so arrogant that his chin almost poked the ceiling.
The meaning was very obvious: it’s your fortune that your brother is willing to take you along. Quickly thank me, praise me, and coax me!
Wang Yan still shook his head. “It has nothing to do with losing or making money, I…”
Halfway through his words, a person suddenly rushed over from the side, grabbed Wang Yan’s left hand, and called out in alarm.
“F*ck! Young Master Wang, you changed your watch? Are you joking?! Royal Oak Offshore 540?!”
He turned his head and saw Guo Zihao.
Amazing… Where did you come from?
Wang Yan didn’t say anything. He gently struggled and retracted his arm.
He teased with interest, “You can even recognize it in such a dark place?”
“Are you kidding? AP’s Royal Oak. Who doesn’t recognize watches? I noticed when Master Xu raised your hand. I just didn’t expect it to be a 540…”
Guo Zihao was tremendously excited. His eyes didn’t leave the watch for a moment. He might not even know what he was saying.
“Master Wang, are you wearing Master Xu’s 911GT3 on your hand? Awesome!”
Huang Xu did not pay much attention to Wang Yan’s new watch just now. His mind was on how to show off to the other party. Now that he suddenly heard this sentence, he was stunned.
“Guo Zihao, what did you say?! How much is that watch?!”
His eyes were wide open.
Guo Zihao finally realized that something was wrong. He smiled awkwardly and whispered, “More than two million…”
What was the use of whispering now?
The people around him had heard what he said just now. “It’s worth a Porsche 911GT3.”.
Chi Haomiao was also an expert in watches, but he was too drunk just now. Now, he was finally woken up by the AP Royal Oak Offshore. He rolled and crawled to in front of him to size up.
“F*ck! Young Master Wang, you silently magnified the satellite again?! Oh my god! What the heck! With more than two million, shouldn’t you have bought other type than this?”
Wang Yan asked in return, “Among the white rubber watch bands, which one has a better color than this one?”
Guo Zihao and Chi Haomiao were completely dumbfounded.
Chi Haomiao widened his eyes in shock. “Young master, hey, you bought a watch with more than two million because of that rubber watch band?”
You couldn’t say that!
Young Master Wang was not the kind of person who would speak against his conscience just to show off.
He corrected him patiently. “It’s not for the rubber watch band, but because the white rubber and light rose gold dial color palette is particularly good. It’s very effective in matching clothes.”
What the hell kind of reason was that?!
How much was it better than the previous one?!
Guo Zihao and Chi Haomiao were so shocked that they were about to cry.
“Young master, if you give me two million, I can buy you 100 watches. You can wear different clothes every day, and it won’t be the same for three months!”
“Of course! With this money, it’s even better that you buy a Patek Philippe’s Star Moon?”
The two watch fans obviously didn’t agree and resented Chief Wang’s aesthetic value.
Could this be tolerated?
You could call me poor, but you couldn’t question my aesthetic appreciation!
Two f*ckers!
Wang Yan originally didn’t intend to pay attention to the two idiots, but when he heard them, he immediately replied with the truth.
“Watch at this price is excessive. Does it matter if it’s right or not? I think the most important thing is it looks good.”
“…”
It would be over if he shouted “Chief Wang is awesome”!
Everyone, shut up for Chief Wang!
Chi Haomiao was still alright. He had seen Wang Yan’s style of “not buying the right but nice thing” several times, so his ability to accept it was stronger.
Guo Zihao was really autistic.
Even if I bought a Rolex Submariner Hulk green dial, I would have to beg my parents. After getting it, It would be extremely precious. Why did you look like a lunatic when you bought a watch?!
Wait a minute!
If I tried harder…
Brother Wang, would you give me that piece of trash worth 500,000?!
Guo Zihao suddenly felt that it was good to know a mentally ill person who didn’t value money. Just some leftover from him would be enough to fatten the piglet!
Just as he was fantasizing, Huang Xu finally realized…
He had f*cking dazzled himself into a pit again!
He had flashed a flashlight at the other person’s eyes to play with, but in the end, he had a bad temper and threw back a flash grenade.
Wang Yan, f*ck you!
I was defeated by you again!
Seeing that the people around him were looking at him strangely, he didn’t need to think to guess if they were taking him as a joke.
With a one-in-a-million chance, this guy gave himself a way out.
“Ha… ha… no wonder you’re not interested… have you been a little short of money recently? It’s okay, whenever you want to participate, you’re always welcome!”
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, his smile was awkward. His small eyes stared nervously at Wang Yan, looking worried…
Poor thing!
Wang Yan didn’t want to bully others too harshly. In any case, he didn’t pretend to do it.
Having just defeated two unlucky kids and then defeated the third one, it was too unkind.
Hence, he nodded with a faint smile. “Yes, it hasn’t been easy recently. You do your best.”
Hearing this, Huang Xu heaved a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on his face again.
He raised the bottle with one hand and patted Wang Yan’s shoulder with the other. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I’ve always said that whenever you want to join, I’ll definitely bring you along!”
Wang Yan frowned slightly, but he really didn’t want to argue with Huang Xu.
He had invited you to join in front of so many people. If you didn’t want to join, just reject. There was no need to fight back.
Just laughed it off.
However, at this moment, Lin Weiwei, Gouzi’s brother, was unhappy.
Our Gouzi, was he someone you could flirt with just because you wanted to?!
Moreover, our supreme dance organized a small gathering, you said that you had to come over. Five people and six people stealing the limelight, who gave you the habit of spoiling?!
She immediately raised her voice and shouted from afar.
“Wang Wang, you only spent more than 10 million last week. How come you don’t have any money? Young Master Huang is a family friend. Don’t think that the project is small, you should help!”
Huang Xu’s face turned green.
F*ck!
Big sister, did you really mean to help me?!
Were you afraid that I was not embarrassed enough?!
Huang Xu was dumbfounded, and Wang Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Women were really… when it came to holding grudges, they would go all their way out.
However, it was rare for her to lose her temper, so he had to go along with it. Her close relatives and distant relatives were all sitting there.
He smiled and shook his head at Huang Xu. “Brother Huang, don’t listen to her nonsense. I spent a little too much money last week, and I really don’t have any pocket money this month. If you really lack money, we’ll talk next month.”
I would talk about your a*s!
I would talk to you one more time. I was the husky and the goldfish skewer, five seconds of memory!
Huang Xu’s body shook, and he suddenly pressed his forehead. “What the heck, this wine makes me uncomfortable… brother, I’m going to the washroom!”
He moved as he said, staggering as if he had really drunk too much.
TSK, another drama queen!
As soon as Huang Xu left, Guo Zihao and Chi Haomiao immediately went to Wang Yan’s side, one on the left and the other on the right. They wanted to take a closer look at the piece of AP’s Royal Oak Offshore.
Guo Zihao, in particular, brought a one-meter-diameter, three-story-high fruit plate to Wang Yan.
“Master Wang, eat the fruit!”
Were you crazy?!
Seeing that the people from another circle were looking over, Wang Yan was afraid that these two sand sculptures would do something funny again, so he immediately took off his watch and handed it over.
“You take a look!”
The two sand sculptures were not stupid. Their eyes lit up and they gathered together to “caress” the watch.
A watch worth two million was not the same as a watch worth 500,000.
Just think about it. Porsche 911GT3 was only worth 2.1 million. They already knew the significance of such a watch.
What was especially interesting was that Guo Zihao and Chi Haomiao, these two players who could not afford to buy too expensive watches, knew all the watches like the back of their hand.
In fact, Huang Xu, who could afford most of the watches, only knew a little about them.
Wang Yan was even worse off. He couldn’t even say that he knew a little about it. All he cared about was his looks.
Perhaps, this was the difference between normal consumption and dreams?
…
When the guys stopped, Lin Weiwei’s side was in a mess.
Liu Li laughed until she couldn’t breathe. “Why are you so bad? You used my Wang Wang to bully others!”
Lin Weiwei replied righteously, “How annoying are those two gangs? We sisters were having a good time together, yet they had to come and disturb us!”
“Didn’t you invite them?”
Fu Yishi’s cold words made Lin Weiwei lose her temper.
The rest of the girls didn’t pay attention to them and all were amazed.
“Wang Yan is too exaggerating, isn’t he? How old is he?!”
“Among the girls in school, the known rich boyfriend, the first was senior Dou Dou’s Wang Siming, the second was senior Chen’s boyfriend Wang Yu, the third was Yixin’s boyfriend Zhengyuan… How can Wang Yan be ranked in the top 10?”
“It doesn’t matter what rank he is, the point is that Wang Yan is the youngest and most handsome!”
“Little Liu Li, you are not a wise person, you are a f*cking…!”
“That’s right! Quickly teach me, how can I pick up such a second generation?”
“It doesn’t have to be so rich, one-third… no! One-fifth is fine!”
Liu Li was so confused by all the comments.
She glanced at Wang Yan and felt both proud and troubled. Silly Dog, how can you be so reckless? The more you grow, the more attractive you become. You’re not as cute as when you’re in the dark!
Wang Yan felt a familiar gaze. He turned his head and saw Sanwan waving her fists at him.
What were you doing?
Were you hinting me to go back to the hotel to have some fun?
His thought went awry. Wang Yan couldn’t sit still any longer.
Just as he put the Royal Oak Offshore back on his wrist and was about to leave, Huang Xu came back with a cheeky smile.
“Brother, come and drink! Help me look over the project plan later!”
Huh?
What did you take in the washroom?
Why did you suddenly change so much?!
Wang Yan was puzzled but not interested. However, Lin Baizhou, Chi Haomiao, and Guo Zihao were all very excited. They surrounded Wang Yan and Huang Xu in the middle and eagerly waited for the discussion to begin.
“Brother, you know about the big event that Wang Siming announced a few days ago, right?”
Huang Xu was mysterious and set the tone very high.
Wang Yan knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. He completely lost interest.
Wasn’t it just Cat TV!
The night of the official announcement was the day that Wang Yan held an event at Shanghai’s Kerry Hotel, and it really stole a lot of attention.
However, Wang Yan didn’t care much about it. The rumor about “Wangting Yule” had already spread on all the major platforms. Now, many viewers and tycoons knew that there was a royal family entertainment, and the popularity spread very quickly.
Fame outside the circle wasn’t that important. At the very least, Miko and Ling Ya didn’t have the quality to leave the circle at the moment, and the wind hadn’t completely blown up from the live webcast.
Just as he thought of this, Huang Xu talked about trending topics.
“Actually, in comparison, the other thing that happened before was the main reason why I decided to do this thing.”
“What?”
Everyone was extremely curious.
Huang Xu did not keep them in suspense and explained in detail.
“Previously, Wang Siming gave a live webcast APP platform on Weibo. That APP was called 17APP, and its content scale was very large. In less than a week, it jumped to the top of the download list in the domestic APP Store.”
“Unfortunately, it was quickly taken down because of porn . But in a short period of time, that app reached a solid seven million users!”
“Do you understand what that means?”
The wind blew.
Wang Yan responded silently.
“This industry is going to explode! Wang Siming is going to do it, and Zhou Hongyi is already doing it! An unprecedented good opportunity is right in front of us!”
“The elites of the business world have judged that this will be a new way of socializing. There is an infinite amount of imagination!”
Huang Xu appeared particularly excited.
The others, whether they knew it or not, were all equally shocked when they heard those two names.
The future was shrouded in a fog. At this moment, no one could determine how big the market was for live webcasts and how much imagination there was. Therefore, they could only follow the footsteps of the business world’s big shots.
Eat a small piece of meat, or overtake the car on a curve.
Huang Xu was still very pragmatic. He knew what he was capable of, and all he wanted was to eat some minced meat.
“My father has a friend who develops live streaming apps. Through him, I can buy the product code with a little money, recruit some reliable front-end users, and modify them to get online.”
“Take advantage of the fact that the competition isn’t fierce right now, and spend some effort to divert the flow. It’s almost guaranteed to make a profit.”
When Wang Yan heard this, he was even a little impressed with Huang Xu.
Frankly speaking, not only was it logically feasible, but the chance of making money was really high.
Wangting Yule had poached a crooked veteran operation. Now, Xi Zige was already quite clear about the flow of the live broadcast platform.
It could be said that as long as the live broadcast of the show was not overly ambitious, there was basically no possibility of losing money.
At night, the money was really coming in waves.
However… Wang Yan was not interested.
The money was thrown under his feet, and Young Master Wang could not be bothered to pick it up.
After confirming what Huang Xu was going to do, Wang Yan simply did not want to listen any more.
“You guys have a nice chat. I’m going to see my wife.”
He got up and was about to leave.
Huang Xu could not understand Wang Yan’s actions and subconsciously pulled him back. “Brother, I’m really not joking with you! This can really work! And if you want to join, I’m really willing to take you with me!”
The three consecutive words “really” showed that this guy was serious.
But it might not be good intentions.
Wang Yan was too lazy to guess the reason, and he was even more lazy to dwell any further. He directly repeated what he said.
“Big Huang, I’m not joking with you either. I plan to spend 120 million in the second half of the year. How much can your company earn? How much are you allowing me to invest? I don’t have the energy to play with you with an investment of three to five million.”
When these words came out, the people around were all dumbfounded.
They were speechless when they saw Wang Yan left. He sat next to Liu Li with a smile and mingled among the girls.
What the f*ck…
Was he living in the same world?!
