"Siyuan, come, let's go. In Wenlong Tea House, Du Wenlong, who was sitting drowsy at the counter, heard the sound of the car at the door of the store, looked up and said with a smile after seeing Zhang Siyuan who walked in.

Zhang Siyuan looked at Du Wenlong's confused eyes and quipped, "Brother Du, don't you pick it up again?"

Hearing this, Du Wenlong looked down at his outfit and shook his head: "What is there to pick up, just go like this." I can go because I give them face, who can say anything about me. ”

Zhang Siyuan shook his head with a wry smile after hearing Du Wenlong's words, only Du Wenlong could say such words. But Du Wenlong's words were not wrong, after all, although their family was a businessman, they ate imperial grain. It's not regulated, and its identity is relatively special, and for many people, they really don't care.

After Du Wenlong locked the door of the store, he got into Zhang Siyuan's car, and today was mainly to take Zhang Siyuan to participate in that event, otherwise he would not be too lazy to go. After all, it doesn't make much difference whether he goes or not, and it doesn't have much impact on their family's business anyway.

Under Du Wenlong's guidance, Zhang Siyuan drove the car to a building on Yan'an East Road. After parking the car, Zhang Siyuan followed Du Wenlong to the building.

After getting on the elevator, Du Wenlong smiled and asked Zhang Siyuan: "After you go up, you can take a look first." If someone comes to talk to you, it's good to be perfunctory, and try not to reveal your true identity. It's just a small circle, and it's not on the table at all. I brought you here today just to familiarize you with this circle in advance, with your current achievements, someone will soon invite you into the circle, and you will have to participate in these occasions often. ”

"Brother Du, I'm prepared, don't worry. Zhang Siyuan smiled and agreed.

It turned out that there was a small banquet held by the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce here today, and Zhang Siyuan didn't know about it. But Du Wenlong's news circle is wide, and after hearing the news, he asked Zhang Siyuan if he was interested in coming over to have a look. Du Wenlong knew that Zhang Siyuan was the so-called rich generation and had no contact with the circle. With Zhang Siyuan's current achievements, it is a matter of time before he enters the circle.

There happened to be a small banquet today, and Du Wenlong wanted to take Zhang Siyuan to take a look. After the province, I really entered the circle, and there are many etiquettes and other things that I don't understand, and I will make jokes when the time comes. After all, with Zhang Siyuan's current value, if he enters the circle, his position will definitely be in the middle and upper class. If you don't get in touch with the circle first, you will always be a little uncomfortable with temporary contact at that time.

After the elevator reached the required floor, Zhang Siyuan and Du Wenlong walked out of the elevator side by side. Du Wenlong handed the invitation card to the waiter at the door, and then walked into the banquet hall with Zhang Siyuan.

After walking into the hall, Du Wenlong glanced at Zhang Siyuan and said, "There's a sofa over there, go over and sit." ”

The two of them walked directly to the sofa in the northwest corner of the hall and sat down, and then looked at the group of people who had arrived in the hall like passers-by and greeted each other inside.

After sitting on the sofa, Zhang Siyuan began to observe the group of people in the hall. There are very few young people who come, basically middle-aged people in their thirties and forties. The men wore straight suits, and the women wore dresses. Some of them, Zhang Siyuan, have also seen on TV, and they are all chairmen of some local groups in Shanghai.

Du Wenlong saw Zhang Siyuan observing the people in the hall, and said to Zhang Siyuan with a smile: "This kind of banquet is not interesting except for knowing a few more people. And it's basically a nodding acquaintance, and there are very few people who can really communicate deeply after the banquet. You see, the person standing on the stage is the organizer of today. Generally speaking, people in any circle are in what circle, and it is rare to invite people from higher circles. Today's circle can only be regarded as the lowest circle in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and they are all people who are worth more than 10 million. ”

"What level is I currently in the circle with my current worth?" asked Zhang Siyuan curiously.

The two of them sat on the sofa and chatted with the people in the whole banquet. Everyone else was busy socializing, and no one came to talk to them when they saw the two young men sitting here. They all thought that Zhang Siyuan and Du Wenlong had come to see each other with their elders, but they didn't expect that the two of them would be the biggest bosses in this banquet hall.

Du Wenlong, who heard Zhang Siyuan's words, thought about it and replied with a smile: "With your current worth of tens of billions, you are in the top class in the circle." It's just that if you count the influence, you can only be in the middle. ”

"How is that circle arranged?" Zhang Siyuan then asked.

When Du Wenlong said that Zhang Siyuan could only be ranked in the upper middle, Zhang Siyuan was a little surprised in his heart. In Zhang Siyuan's heart, with his current value, how can he be in the upper class, but he didn't expect that he can only be regarded as upper-middle.

"Then I'll give you a good talk about the hierarchical division in the circle today, first of all, 10 million is a grade, which is the lowest grade. 100 million to 1 billion is a grade, and this grade is slightly better than the grade of 10 million, and these two grades belong to the lower level. Then one billion to five billion is a grade, and five billion to ten billion is a grade, and these two grades are considered medium-grade. In the end, there is no clear division of more than 10 billion, but there are some differences secretly. Some people are only worth and have no influence, so although they are in the highest grade, they can only be considered medium, just like you. ”

"So, what about the chairman of Baosteel?" Zhang Siyuan suddenly thought of Zhou Zixuan's mother.

Du Wenlong replied without thinking: "The highest grade." You have to know that the grades are purely based on their worth, but the tone of the threshold is given. In fact, what really looks at is influence, what level of person is Chairman Baosteel. Even if the company is not his, it is influential. This kind of person must be in the top circle, basically worth tens of billions, and basically can really get in touch with the real upper class. As for what is really high society, I don't think I say you know it too. ”

Du Wenlong believes that he doesn't need to explain Zhang Siyuan and understands what he means, after all, with the relationship between Zhang Siyuan and Guo Yadi, there will be no problem in understanding this sentence. Money is not everything, and no money is everything. In circles, this sentence is the most correct interpretation. In many cases, being rich is not as good as being influential, and influence is the real king.

The two of them sat on the sofa and chatted for half an hour, during which no one came to talk to them, and the two of them were bored, so they got up and prepared to leave.

Just stood up, and the words spoken by a person on the sofa next to him caught Zhang Siyuan's attention: "Eh, have you heard? The two old shops of the old Shen family have been sold, and he has offended people miserably this time." The ancestral family business has been sold, and I don't know if I can calm the anger of the offended bigwigs, do you know who Lao Shen offended?"

"Who knows, he usually relies on his own little relationship, and his eyes grow to the sky, and this time he suffers a loss, I don't know how many people are secretly watching him laugh. Not to mention those two stores, I heard that his Shen Group seems to be being targeted now. Another person said nearby.

Du Wenlong didn't move when he saw Zhang Siyuan get up, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just hearing something of interest. Zhang Siyuan replied with a smile.

The old store of Gu Yiyuan has been acquired by the person he entrusted, and after the acquisition is completed, Zhang Siyuan did not go to target the boss behind the old store of Gu Yi Yuan. didn't expect that someone was still targeting him now, and Zhang Siyuan could only sympathize. As for whether that old Shen can hold on, it has nothing to do with him.

After all, he had already been angry, and he didn't take revenge on the so-called Lao Shen in the mouths of those people. Now that he has been fallen into the well by others, he can only blame that old Shen for not being a person.

The group of people who heard Zhang Siyuan talking to Du Wenlong turned around and took a look, and found that it was the two young men who didn't take it seriously in the future, and turned around and continued to talk about their gossip. If they knew that the person responsible for the current situation of the Shen Group was one of the two young men who had just been behind them, they might have surrounded them by now.

After the two of them went downstairs to the parking lot to pick up the car, Du Wenlong smiled and asked Zhang Siyuan, "Interested in that Shen Group?"

"No, I just heard them think of something. Zhang Siyuan denied it.

Du Wenlong saw that Zhang Siyuan denied it, and did not continue to delve into this topic. Anyway, as far as Zhang Siyuan is concerned, as long as he can help him get the position of the head of the Du family in the future, the rest has nothing to do with him.

After sending Du Wenlong back, Zhang Siyuan did not go back to the Julu Road house, but came to a café near People's Square, where there was already a person waiting for him.

"Uncle Huang, thank you for this. Zhang Siyuan said to the middle-aged man sitting across from him.

Huang Sanjia, who was sitting opposite Zhang Siyuan, smiled: "Zhang Shao is polite, this little thing is not worth mentioning." Originally, I didn't need you to come here in person, but there was something else I wanted to tell you, so I asked you to come over. ”

It turned out that the person who bought the old store in Guyiyuan was Huang Sanjia. It was inconvenient for Zhang Siyuan to come forward, so he could only ask Tian Minghao to find someone to come forward, and in the end, Huang Sanjia handled the matter.

You say. Zhang Siyuan said respectfully.

In Zhang Siyuan's heart, although Huang Sanjia is just the housekeeper of the Tian family, he can't really treat Tian Sanjin as an ordinary housekeeper. After all, during the time at home, Zhang Aiguo told him that Huang Sanjia was a character. The person who can make Zhang Aiguo look at him, no matter how much Zhang Siyuan will not look down on him.

Huang Sanjia saw Zhang Siyuan's respectful appearance, his eyes showed a look of satisfaction, and he said with a smile: "The real estate over there in Xiangjiang is a bit in a situation, and the young master wants to ask you to go to Xiangjiang together." ”
