Chapter 1: The Test Is Over
"Peng Chuan, I'm holding a birthday party on kTV every day tonight, do you want to get together?"
"Ah, I have something to do tonight, I wish you a happy birthday. ”
Pressing the send button, Peng Chuan lay on the table weakly.
Weng Jiana is not only his classmate from junior high school to high school, but also the dream goddess he has had a crush on for many years.
The goddess has a birthday tonight, which is a rare opportunity to perform, but Peng Chuan still gave up because he had no money to buy a birthday gift.
Because of his lack of money, Peng Chuan has suffered too many grievances over the years.
He was born in an ordinary family, his parents are factory workers, and the annual family income has been hovering around 50,000 yuan.
With such a family and such an income, it is not easy for Peng Chuan to continue to go to school.
The children of the poor are in charge of the family at an early age.
Peng Chuan has been a sensible child since he was a child.
Other students have all kinds of toys, all kinds of clothes and shoes, all kinds of entertainment... He doesn't envy these things, because he knows that his parents are not easy.
Therefore, in the eyes of other classmates, Peng Chuan is a weirdo, a weirdo who can wear a piece of clothing for two weeks, and a weirdo who never participates in party activities.
"I'm not a weirdo. ”
Peng Chuan clenched his fists white: "I'm just poor." ”
"Jingle bell!"
When Peng Chuan was in pain, the mobile phone on the table buzzed.
It was a Nokia-branded old-fashioned mobile phone, because of it, Peng Chuan was also nicknamed "the nostalgic cave man".
"Hello?"
Seeing the caller's name clearly, Peng Chuan cheered up: "Dad?"
"Chuanzi. Peng Chuan's father, Peng Wanli, said softly: "What are you doing now?"
"I read books. ”
"Oh, don't read yet, I'm going to tell you something. ”
"Well, I'm listening. ”
"Before talking about this matter, Chuanzi, you have to be mentally prepared. ”
Through the radio waves, Peng Wanli's voice was extremely low, and Peng Chuan was nervous for a while, mentally prepared, could it be that his mother was sick, right? Or, the family was so poor that there was no money for him to go to school?
"Dad, you can say it. Peng Chuan said firmly: "I have already made all the preparations. ”
"Good. Peng Wanli laughed and said, "Chuanzi, I want to apologize to you." ”
Apologize?
Peng Chuan nodded, he knew that his student career was coming to an end.
It's over, too.
In this way, he can go out to work earlier and share the pressure of his parents as soon as possible.
"It's okay, Dad. Peng Chuanqiang smiled: "I didn't want to go to school for a long time. ”
"Don't want to go to school? That's not good! If you have money, you have to be educated!" Peng Wanli said something that made Peng Chuan confused: "Chuanzi, before you were born, I had a discussion with your mother about how to teach children. ”
Peng Chuan listened carefully.
"Your mother's idea is that we're just one kid for you, and we're going to give you the best life possible. My idea is that the poor raise a man and a rich woman, and only when you are poor can you know that life is not easy, and you will not become an arrogant and arrogant young master. ”
The more Peng Chuan listened, the more confused he became.
"In the end, I convinced your mother and decided to make you poor. Speaking of this, Peng Wanli apologized: "Chuanzi, you won't blame me, right?"
"I'm sure not. Peng Chuan hesitated: "It's just, Dad, why don't I understand? You're not drinking, are you?"
"I do drink, but it's red wine, Chateau Lafite Rothschild, haven't you heard of it?"
Peng Chuan shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, what is that?"
"Lafite, Lafite for seven or eight years. ”
Rafi?
Peng Chuan suddenly realized.
He had heard of this brand and knew that this brand of red wine was very famous, and a bottle was about hundreds?
"Chuanzi?" Peng Wanli smiled: "Have you ever drunk red wine?"
Peng Chuan shook his head: "No." ”
"I know you haven't drunk. But don't worry, I've already sent you three boxes of Lafite, and if your flight isn't delayed, you'll be ready to drink tonight. ”
"It's not. Peng Chuan was puzzled: "Dad, where does our family get the money to buy wine? Also, isn't it just a few boxes of wine, why do we need to use flights?"
"Silly son, that wine is custom-made in Bordeaux, France, can it be shipped by air?"
Bordeaux, France!
Peng Chuan vaguely felt that something was wrong: "Dad, are you okay today?"
"Dad is fine. Peng Wanli raised his voice: "But you have something." ”
"What's the matter with me?"
"From today onwards, you are no longer Peng Chuan. ”
Peng Chuan was surprised, and Peng Wanli said again: "It's no longer the Peng Chuan who is looked down upon." ”
"And who am I?"
"You are the son of my Peng Wanli, the third richest man in the world. Peng Wanli was in high spirits: "Don't feel that the third is faceless, when your mother and I hand over the company to you, you will be the richest person in the world." ”
The richest man in the world?
Peng Chuan's eyes lit up.
In his dark life for more than ten years, if there is one thing that can become his biggest talking point, it is the Rich Group.
Regal Group, the largest and best group in the world.
The boss of the group, also known as Peng Wanli.
Because of the same name as his father, the photos are also somewhat similar to his father, Peng Chuan often fantasized when he was young, fantasizing that his father was the Peng Wanli, and everything he encountered was just his father testing him.
"Chuanzi, I am Peng Wanli of the Rich Group, as I said before, poor raising, those in the past, are testing you. Peng Wanli said loudly: "Your mother and I are very satisfied with everything you have done in the test! So, from today onwards, no, from this phone call, the test is over!"
What the?!
Peng Chuan almost bit his tongue.
Is this a dream come true?
No!
Reason told Peng Chuan that this was not true.
's father, Peng Wanli, is an ordinary worker in an ordinary factory, and he is by no means the chairman of a wealthy group!
"Dad. Peng Chuan said seriously: "Yes, when I was a child, I mistakenly thought you were Peng Wanli of the Rich Group, but I was only five or six years old at that time, and I was not sensible, I knew that you drank today, well, you said, I am very happy, but no matter whether our family is rich or poor, I will not have other ideas,"
There was silence on the phone for a while, and then Peng Wanli apologized: "Chuanzi, it's me who is not good, I should have told you everything earlier, look at what you have been tested now, you are not confident anymore!"
Assertive?
Peng Chuan asked himself, he was really not confident enough, and he didn't dare to tell Weng Jiana if he liked Weng Jiana for several years.
But self-confidence is the word for the rich.
It's good that the poor can guarantee three meals a day, but what kind of self-confidence do you talk about? No matter how confident you are, you can eat as food?
"Chuanzi, I know you don't believe it. In this way, didn't I give you a bank card when school started, I just called you for some living expenses, you see if you have received it, and call me when you receive it. ”
Hanging up the phone, Peng Chuan was shocked.
Because his home is on the outskirts of the county and some distance from the school, Peng Chuan chose to live in the school this semester, and his family paid 700 yuan to the bank card every month as living expenses.
"Drop. ”
There was a text message coming.
Open it and take a look - "At 09:35 on December 26, 18, your account with the tail number 938 deposited 100000000.00 yuan, and the balance was 100000021.00 yuan. ”
After seeing how many zeros there were, Peng Chuan was dumbfounded.
That's a billion!
Previously, he had only seen this number in movies.
"Is it a scam text message?"
After thinking about it, Peng Chuan dispelled this concern.
The balance in the card is a total of 100 million and 21 pieces, and it is impossible for the fraudulent text message to even know the balance in his card.
Could it be that Daddy is really the Peng Wanli of the Rich Group?
Trembling, Peng Chuan dialed his father's phone.
"Chuanzi?," Peng Wanli smiled: "Now you believe it?"
"Dad?" Peng Chuan's voice changed: "Are you really that Peng Wanli?"
"Otherwise?" Peng Wanli sighed and said: "Alas, in order to test you, your mother and I have suffered a lot over the years, not only moved out of Las Vegas, but also entered the workshop as a worker!
"I-" Peng Chuan was speechless.
In just over ten minutes, he experienced hell and heaven, and experienced twists and turns that Hollywood blockbusters can't make.
"Chuanzi. Peng Wanli said: "Because you are used to living a hard life, I am afraid that you will not adapt, and I dare not give you too much living expenses at once, you will use the 100 million first, and from next month, I will give you 1 billion every month." ”
100 million is not enough to use first?!
This.
"Dad!" Peng Chuan said excitedly: "You don't need to give me any more money! I won't be able to use up this 100 million in my life!"
"What are you talking about!" Peng Wanli was unhappy: "Your father and I have hundreds of billions of assets, you don't have to give it to anyone?
After a pause, Peng Wanli said solemnly: "Okay Chuanzi, in order to change your consumption concept, Dad will give you the next task!"
"What a mission!"
"The first task will spend 100 million in a month! The second task will spend 100 billion in a year!"
"What kind of mission is this?"
"This is the task of spending money! This is a task that must be accomplished!" Peng Wanli said earnestly: "Money is earned by people, and it is not a good thing to earn money and not spend money! Also, if you don't spend money, money cannot be circulated in a timely manner, and over time, it will affect the level of the world economy!"
"I, I accept. Peng Chuan gritted his teeth: "But I can't guarantee that I can spend the money." ”
"If you can't spend it, you don't have the ability! If you don't have the ability, not only will others look down on you, but your mother and I will also feel sad! Also, those two numbers, 100 million and 100 billion, are the minimum amount!"
"What about the highest?"
"There is no highest, no upper limit!"
"I, I do my best. ”
"You'd better do your best!" Speaking of this, Peng Wanli paused, and then said: "Okay Chuanzi, your mother and I are in Texas now, and there is an international business meeting later, let's talk about it today, as for how to spend money, figure it out yourself! Remember, do your best, don't let me and your mother down!"
After that, Peng Wanli hung up the phone.
