I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 533 Buffett or Soros?

"Let's not talk about anything else. Chen Yifeng is a bad person. He first stepped on a rich girl to get to the top, and then kicked her out. Now I heard that he found a young girl to marry. Who would dare to cooperate with him? He is simply the modern Chen Shimei."

"Hahaha, this is the Chen family's ancestral unique skill!"

The two of them suddenly chuckled.

"By the way, you know Chen Yifeng so well, did he invite you to his wedding?"

"No, I'm not qualified... Well, I heard that Chen Yifeng invited a lot of foreigners. He was probably afraid that some people in the country would point fingers at him. He might as well find some foreign guests who don't know the inside story. This way, it would appear prestigious, and he wouldn't have to listen to other people's gossip." The man wanted to say that he was not qualified to participate, but then he thought about it and was afraid of losing face, so he changed his words immediately.

I have to say, this person's analysis is quite accurate.

Chen Yifeng invited some foreign business partners because he was afraid that others would talk behind his back. He did not invite many big shots in China.

Chen Xi shook his head. It seemed that his father's divorce had caused many people to have some opinions about him.

"Haha, you're exposed. You're not even familiar with him."

"I didn't say I was familiar with him, I just knew more than you."

Chen Xi listened to the two people bragging and the plane landed without him noticing.

China has developed by leaps and bounds in recent years, and high-rise buildings in Shanghai have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Chen Xi felt a little emotional as he looked at the largest city in East China that had undergone such great changes.

Socialism is good!

I found a hotel to stay in and had a fast food meal downstairs.

Looking at the meat dishes on the plate, which had very little meat, and the prices were much higher than before, Chen Xi sighed again at the staggeringly fast rise in prices in the Magic City.

"Despite the global economic crisis last year,...we were able to achieve steady growth, which means..." The TV in the fast food restaurant was playing a replay of the evening news.

"Damn it, the prices of goods and houses here are just too high to let people live! I came here to make money, not to work for the landlord!"

"That's right. After working so hard for a month, all my salary is used to pay for rent and food. How can I save any money?"

"If I had known this would happen, I should have stayed back home."

"Hey, everyone who comes here wants to make a name for themselves, but how many people can really become successful? I used to read too many success stories and thought I could soar to the sky, but now I think it's really ridiculous."

Two young men in shirtsleeves grumbled as they ate.

"What are you arguing about? Are you going to let me watch the news? You're a bunch of country bumpkins, complaining about high prices every day. Isn't it you who caused this? Why don't you stay in your hometown but come here to dream of getting rich? How dare you!" The proprietress is a middle-aged woman. As a local, she doesn't like others talking about anything bad about this place.

In fact, the locals are very conflicted. They feel that these outsiders are driving up prices, but they are also happy that their properties have appreciated in value.

"How do you talk!"

"Okay, okay. Let's eat. We have to go to work tomorrow."

One of the two young men wanted to curse, while the other didn't want to cause any more trouble. Soon, the one with the worse temper was dragged away by the other.

"…The meeting pointed out that we should vigorously develop from the east to the inland, and at the same time increase the attraction of overseas investment to local areas to support domestic science and technology and infrastructure construction…"

After the two left, the sound from the TV became clear again.

"There are more and more people here. No, I have to renovate the house tomorrow and make a few more partitions, so that I can earn more rent..." The proprietress watched the news, calculating quickly in her mind.

After Chen Xi finished his meal, he went to a foot massage shop.

This store was not as luxurious as the one a few years ago, but the prices were no lower. The starting price was one thousand yuan, and he couldn't understand any of the names of the items on the price list.

He casually ordered a medium-priced dish and walked into the private room under the guidance of the waiter.

"Boss, technician No. 17 needs your service." A plump woman came in. She was probably a few years younger than Chen Xi, but she was dressed in a deliberately mature manner.

"Have the prices for foot massages in this Shanghai increased? I spent about the same amount of money last time I came here, and the decoration there was much better than this." Chen Xi took a sip of tea and complained.

"Boss, look at what you said. Our decoration here is also very good, and the service is absolutely first-class. Everyone has received uniform training." No. 17 placed his feet carefully in the basin, and then began to praise his foot bath shop.

"Boss, you haven't been to Shanghai for a long time. Are you unfamiliar with the current market conditions? Prices in Shanghai are skyrocketing. A large number of people are flocking here from all over the country, all trying to make a living." The technician began to massage his shoulders.

"Yes, if everyone is crowding here, what resources will be left to fight for? I will definitely develop in a place with fewer people."

"Haha, boss, you look like a big businessman. Your ideas are different from those of an employee. There are so many international companies settling in Shanghai now, and the treatment of foreign companies is good. Everyone is trying their best to get in..."

"I was eating outside just now and saw others complaining about their low salaries, which were gone after paying the rent. I guess what you said is not entirely true." Chen Xi continued to mutter while enjoying the woman's massage.

"There's nothing I can do about it. Some people have high salaries, some have low salaries, and their consumption levels are also different. Everyone has a different way of living. Look at me, I live in the dormitory arranged by the company every day. Although the conditions are a bit poor, it's free. I can save a lot of the money I earn every month. Those white-collar workers who dress like dogs may not save as much as I do in a month..." The technician proudly said how much he could earn every month, which was even better than those employees of big factories.

"Then why don't those migrant workers who work outside return to their hometowns when they don't have enough money to spend every month?"

"Why else? They are all dreaming of getting rich, thinking they can get a promotion and a raise, and marry a beautiful, wealthy woman. They don't even think about it: who will want them when they get older? It's the same in all walks of life. For example, when I give massages in a foot massage parlor, why are customers willing to spend so much money? Is it because I'm a good massager? They come here because I'm young and pretty. When I get older, my boss will fire me, and a young girl will take over my position. Even I understand this, but those office workers can't figure it out..."

"Haha, you're quite open-minded."

"Of course not. I've been working since I was 16. What have I not seen? If you ask me, those white-collar workers would be better off staying in their own small cities. They can also save a lot of money."

"You can't say that. Everyone has dreams. What if they succeed?"

"There are successes, but there are more failures. If it were me, I wouldn't take that risk. I don't have such big ideals. I just want to save some money, go back and find someone to marry, and then have children and raise them. As a woman, why should she do so many things?" The technician is a complete loser, just like many young people who see no hope.

"What if these people working here can't pay the rent?"

"Loans. There are a lot of companies offering loans now. I receive a lot of loan calls every day. They are eager to give you money."

"Loans have interest. How can I pay it back by working?"

"You are the boss, you have never been poor. Poor people don't care about tomorrow's affairs at all. They only care about whether they have food to eat today." The technician's complaint made Chen Xi not know what to say.

After relaxing his body, Chen Xi staggered towards the hotel.

Walking on the streets shrouded in the night, standing before his eyes was a skyscraper that was rising from the ground day and night with bright lights on. Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh: this city was simply built with countless cannon fodder.

Day two.

Huanglu City, Hongxing Technology Co., Ltd.

"Hahaha, thanks to you this time for bringing such a big order to my family. My father usually looks down on me, but now he praises me every day." Wang Anmeng's laughter, which was heartier than that of a man, echoed in the office.

"I ordered so much goods, can you produce them?"

"You must be kidding. We will soon be the world's number one in this industry. The products we produce every day are shipped all over the world. Your orders are nothing." Wang Anmeng crossed her legs in an unladylike manner, and shivered while drinking tea. "Where's your father? Why don't I see him?" Chen Xi had been sitting here for so long, but he didn't see the boss Wang Yifu coming.

"He dreams of going public every day. The company's performance is very good. I don't understand why he always wants to go public. By the way, are you and Saori okay? Many of the couples among us high school classmates have broken up."

"It's fine. She has met my parents. I was planning to go to Sakura Country to meet her parents this time, but something happened and I was delayed."

Chen Xi knew that Wang Anmeng was referring to several couples like Allen and Dashan.

"Click."

"Oh, you came to Huang Lu instead of coming to my place, and you came to her place first." Suddenly, the office door was opened.

Wang Qiansui, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, walked in wearing sunglasses and looked flamboyant.

"I've already called you and told you to go later. Why are you so anxious to come and see me?" Chen Xi looked at the other party in confusion.

"How can I not be anxious? Of course it's something important. I want to take you to see my master." Wang Qiansui grabbed his arm and was about to walk out.

"Why do you want to see your master? Wait, master?"

Chen Xi stood there in a daze. He didn't understand who such an arrogant man like Wang Qiansui would choose as his master.

"Shaolin or Wudang? Are you going to become a monk?" Chen Xi asked half-jokingly.

"What do you mean by becoming a monk? I'm a big shot from the United States. No... I'm a big shot among big shots."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Seeing Wang Qiansui start to brag, Chen Xi sat back on the sofa.

"Damn it, boss! If you miss this opportunity, don't blame me." Wang Qiansui shouted exaggeratedly.

"Who?"

"Do you know Warren Buffett, the stock god?"

"Ah? You know, he came to China? Have you treated him to the local Huanglu tangerines?" Chen Xi didn't think that Buffett would come to a small place like Huanglu, let alone accept an apprentice.

"I haven't finished talking yet. It's not Buffett who's here, but it's almost there. You'll understand if you follow me."

"Why are you in such a hurry? He's just a foreign guy who deals in finance. Look how lewd you are."

Seeing Wang Qiansui snatching people on his own territory, Wang Anmeng jumped up from his chair and kicked him in the butt.

I guess the only one who dares to kick Wang Qiansui’s ass in Huanglu City is Wang Anmeng.

Relying on her status as a girl, the fact that she is an old classmate, and her powerful family, Wang Anmeng would beat and kick the Four Heavenly Kings of Huang Lu when she was unhappy.

"You're so fierce. No wonder no one in Huanglu dares to date you." Wang Qiansui dealt a critical hit, causing Wang Anmeng, who had been single for many years, to go berserk. She chased him and started fighting in the office.

If not Buffett, then who could it be?
Chen Xi's curiosity was aroused by Wang Qiansui's words, and he completely blocked out the chasing and playing between the two people over there.

Could it be George Soros?
Or Charlie Munger, Peter Lynch…

The names of the big guys kept appearing in Chen Xi's mind.

"Huh...Okay, there will be a dinner party later. You come with me...Huhuhu...You'll know when we meet. Don't worry, you won't regret it. You may even thank me in the future."

Wang Qiansui said while panting, while Wang Anmeng sat down on the ground exhausted.

No one expected that what he said today would come true in the future.

"It's so mysterious. Today I want to see who the big shot you are talking about is!" Chen Xi nodded and agreed immediately.

His curiosity has now been aroused. If he can get on board with one of the people he had just imagined, he will be able to take off in the future.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Qiansui drove Chen Xi all the way to the center of Haizhou City.

Haizhou is still a fourth or fifth tier city, with only one five-star hotel, and it is in the city center.

This hotel is also old. Compared with the hotel in Xinlu, it is much shorter and its facilities also seem a bit outdated.

"Why are there so many people?" Chen Xi walked into the hall, looked at the bustling crowd, turned his head and asked Wang Qiansui who was standing beside him.

"They are all here to see the boss. Many people have flown in from all over the country. The guest rooms are now full. It's amazing that a small place like ours can also have a lively day."

"By the way, you said this is a small place. Why would a big shot from a beautiful country come here?"

"Of course I invited him here, otherwise why would I ask you to come. These people outside are just supporting roles. We are the protagonists today." Wang Qiansui hooked his arm around his neck and laughed.

Chen Xi knew that Wang Qiansui's family had a complicated relationship with Li Kacheng, and the Wang family could be said to be Boss Li's key figure on the mainland.

No one would have thought that Boss Li's weapon would be hidden in such a small place.

Many of Boss Li’s financial businesses in mainland China were run by Wang Qiansui’s father.

So, when Wang Qiansui said that he invited the big man from the United States, it was probably his father who invited him.

What do you mean you invited them yourself? That's just bragging.

"When will the real boss arrive? Don't tell me he's still sleeping upstairs in the hotel." Chen Xi looked at the time. It was already six o'clock, which was dinner time.

"How do you know? They have time differences. It's not bad for us to wait for our international friends."

"When did you become so eloquent?" Chen Xi patted him.

"Okay, let's go to the dining area and wait. I guess my dad has already gone to find him." Wang Qiansui pulled Chen Xi and walked inside.

Although there were many people in the hotel today, Chen Xi did not hear any information about the boss's name along the way, which made him even more curious about who this person was.

After finding a place to sit down, Chen Xi wanted to test Wang Qiansui's words, so he said, "Buffett always has lunch with others, and you are having dinner. Are you going to treat the foreign guy from the United States to roast kidneys? Can he bear it?"

"Haha, it's not his first time in China. Maybe he has really eaten roasted kidneys before." Wang Qiansui laughed.

Isn't this your first time in China?

This useful information can eliminate many of the names he had thought of before.

Chen Xi touched his chin and prepared to continue asking.
