At the beginning of the day, the inside and outside of Clement Manor, which stands on the outskirts of Nairobi, is lit up with light, especially the majestic castle built on the hill, which is illuminated by a large number of spotlights from all angles like the center of the kingdom in a fairy tale.

It is a classic fortress-like building built more than 100 years ago. When it was declared a British protectorate at the end of the 19th century, the first British to settle in the area were eager to turn it into a solid overseas colony. The first owner of this seemingly territorial area was a serious 800 nobleman with a knighthood in England.

Probably because of the influence of tradition or habit, he subconsciously wanted to build this place into a fortress that was difficult to impregn. Not only was the core building built on the mountainside, but the outer wall was built up with hard stone to rise to five or six floors. In addition to the side facing the mountain, there are guard towers built around it to facilitate shooting and shelter each other.

This kind of castle that seems to be full of classical charm is actually very unsuitable for people. In order to meet the needs of combat defense, it was strengthened in that direction as much as possible, and the rooms inside were mostly cramped and cramped, and it was not easy for the Western knights to turn around after they were covered in armor. The windows are narrow, the lighting is insufficient, the interior is dark and damp, and the summer temperature in Africa is unbearable. No matter how strong a fighter is, it is estimated that he will not be able to stay in it for three days.

So a few decades after Chengping, the descendants of the earl began to renovate one after another, and built a spacious and comfortable annex building next to the main body. For more than 100 years, there is such a magnificent building where classical and trendy coexist today. Incidentally, the 3,000-acre estate grew famous.

Merely. With the sun never setting on the decline of the empire. The owners of the manor could not sustain the huge expenses. I had to find a way to find another source of income. In the unlikely event that the $30 million price tag fails, leasing becomes the only viable option.

Fortunately, with the increasing number of people visiting Africa in recent years, especially the arrival of Chinese nouveau riche tycoons, the estate will not be empty for long.

Today's reception was unprecedentedly large, with hundreds of guests on the list, for which the contractor who packed all the ingredients and drinks directly from Europe. All have numbers of about the same size.

Among the guests, there were a large number of dignitaries of distinguished status, including more than a dozen high-ranking officials of their own countries, some gentlemen from Europe and the United States, and a number of luxurious Oriental dignitaries. No need to guess, looking at their figure and English level, they must be Chinese.

Of course, so many big people have a grand party, which must be indispensable. As a result, it can be seen that under the illumination, a large number of young models from Paris are dressed coolly. Shaking the youthful body shuttles through it, and the rich perfume smell is taken away by the evaporation of fragrant sweat. Causes more secretion of male hormones. The most anxious old blacks couldn't bear it, and even soon after the banquet began, they couldn't wait to rush into the castle with one or two in their arms, and find a room to toss around.

Energetic music, laughter, screaming and noise, all converge into a scene of luxury.

In order to ensure that they can play boldly and unscrupulously with confidence, the defense of the manor has been strengthened tonight. There are dozens of black-clad bodyguards in the open place, and there are security personnel with loaded guns everywhere in the high places of the castle and in the surrounding sentry posts. In the vast manor, there are more than a dozen patrols leading big dogs back and forth. At all the outskirts of the highway checkpoints, there are even Kenyan Army soldiers on guard.

Heavy protection, can be called impervious to wind and rain.

The guests witnessed such an exaggerated defensive measure, so naturally they did not have any worries. In the small square of the fountain as bright as day, they walked around with wine glasses in their hands and smiles on their faces, joining a discussion group from time to time, or listening with reserved ears, occasionally expressing their own opinions.

Of course, where there are many people, there are always some more unsociable deposits. For example, a Chinese man in his thirties, who refused to join the heart of the carnival from beginning to end, not only refused to send beautiful women from all over the world many times, but also didn't even finish the glass of champagne in his hand after the party lasted for a full hour. Standing lonely on the second floor of the annex of the castle overlooking the jubilant crowd in the square, his eyes flashed with a little melancholy brilliance, and from a distance, he looked particularly lonely and unsociable.

His Chinese name is Zhang Dawei, one of the most common names among more than a billion Chinese, and he even roars on some occasions and can have several answers.

Once, as a teenager, it was an easily accepted name, and he didn't think it was inappropriate. But when he was admitted to one of the top universities in China and became the pride of heaven that everyone looked up to, he began to secretly resent his father, who had little culture, for giving himself such a vulgar name. But this is an unchangeable fact after all, and he can only hide this unhappiness in the bottom of his heart, until he was admitted to the scholarship of Yale University in the United States, and he couldn't wait to choose a homophonic English name for himself, David.

Although it is translated as "David", it is used to being pronounced as "stupid" in everyone's mouth, which is more than one level higher than the dirty scum tone of "Dawei". So, Zhang Dawei was finally relieved.

I don't know if it was the good luck brought by the name change, he completed the master's program in the business school and passed the MBA, and after graduation, he got a high-paying position in a Fortune 500 company, and even got a green card.

This is not enough for him to raise his eyebrows completely, because the top children's university in China can send dozens of high-level students of the same level to the United States and the world every year. Over the decades, their numbers are unusually large, said to be more than 10,000.

Can't stand taller than these people, live better, Zhang Dawei - no, should be called David Zhang felt not satisfied. Last year, an unprecedented financial crisis swept the world, which not only pushed down the top glass ceiling of his promotion, but also made his great goal of becoming the CEO of a Fortune 500 company almost impossible to achieve before the age of 40.

Zhang Dawei was very angry and helpless. However, he did not give up, and under the multi-party contact. Finally got the position of COO of a newly emerging small fund company. He is also the Vice President. If after a few years of good performance. will become a senior vice president, get enough shares, and even higher achievements.

Although this fund company currently has only a few hundred million dollars, the amount of funds that can potentially be mobilized is more than one billion or more, and the key is that it is all cash flow, and the low debt ratio is unreasonable.

Zhang Dawei is confident that in just a few years, it will become a certain reputation in the industry. You can even go to Wall Street to go for a dashing calf. At that time, he appeared as the CEO, which can be regarded as a preliminary realization of the value of life and climbing to the top, right?

It stands to reason that to achieve such an achievement, he, a peasant child with no background, should feel honored and satisfied, at least he can hold his head up in front of his peers. Zhang Dawei did have a period of time, and there was a sense of raising his eyebrows and exalting at a glance of the mountains and the movement and quiet. He was full of energy in his heart, even if he was sent to this place in Africa to work as a cattle in the wilderness. It was a whimsical and strange plan, and he was confident that he would make countless highlights and dazzling results.

But it's thriving. When he himself became the president, prime minister and various ministerial-level high-ranking officials of Kenya, Zhang Dawei suddenly learned unexpectedly that the big boss behind the American company he worked for was actually Chinese!

The most difficult thing for him to accept is a Chinese civilian who has no background identity before, and suddenly rises and has multiple large-scale business empires!

After reading the information of the Yang family, David Zhang You's frustration that he had been deceived filled his chest.

Judging by his high vision, there is only one Yang Haixin in the Yang family, who seems to be a talent, but he is not as good as himself when he was in China. The others are even more er, what village elders and secretaries, what retired military officers, what second-rate university graduates, what doctors and fishermen ....... What the hell is this!

Why can grassroots turtles like them have tens of billions of wealth all at once, but world-class elites like themselves have to work for them?

Most of the fighting spirit in Zhang Dawei's heart was leaked at once, and the anger and humiliation constantly hit his mind, so that for the first time in his life, he was weak to do things, and even made mistakes on important occasions.

He didn't think it was his own problem, instinctively, he put all the blame on the big boss surnamed Yang. Blame this damn guy for creating a scam to get himself into it! If he had known that he was going to work for them, David Chang would never have accepted that position.

Under the shame and indignation, when another "big man" handed over an olive branch, Zhang Dawei did not hesitate to take it, and sold the Yang family's hard work in Africa for a year, and sold it for a good price.

Today, to celebrate the success of their great plan, after the reception, the next day will be the CEO, partner, shareholder, billionaire of the new fund company!

Many years of ideals, once realized, it is impossible not to be excited. But somehow, when he saw the fireworks in the sky bursting continuously, Zhang Dawei inexplicably felt a deep worry, wondering if his seemingly wireless brilliant future would bloom as brilliantly as this firework and die out quickly?

Caught in this inexplicable love, he couldn't extricate himself for a long time, and the glass of champagne was raised more than a dozen times, but he never drank it all in one gulp.

A shuffled footstep came from the nearby hallway, and hearty laughter mixed with the coquettish cry of a young model rushed into his ears. Zhang Dawei was clear, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a Chinese man in his forties hugging two cool foreign girls who were half a head taller than him walking crookedly. In each hand, he clutches a bottle of red wine and a goblet.

When he came closer, the man patted the foreign girl's buttocks, laughed at them with obscene words and laughed two sentences, and then put his arms around Zhang Dawei's neck, and said drunkly: "David, on this big day, why don't you go down and celebrate with the big guys, what are you going to be reserved when you run upstairs?" I've been watching you for a long time, and several groups of good girls have come up to hook up, and they have all driven you away. What's the matter, I'm overjoyed, I can't get up below? ”

The strong smell of wine rushed straight to the nose, coupled with the smell of smoky perfume, which made Zhang Dawei, who was a little clean, frown.

But he didn't dare to push people away directly, this small middle-aged man who was not good-looking was the representative of the big man who single-handedly planned to swallow the Yang Fund and push him to his current high position. He himself is not only a direct descendant of a red family in China, but also a representative of a group of nobles from a large courtyard, with overwhelming power and unfathomable power. Pull one out at will, and you can dare not give face to senior officials at the provincial and ministerial levels in China. For Zhang Dawei, who was born in the countryside, this has always been a high level that he can't touch.

Therefore, even if he is unhappy in his heart, he can only endure it, this is also the price that must be paid to climb up, isn't it? Of course, if it was those guys surnamed Yang who did this, he might not need to swallow his anger or simply throw his face in front of him.

People are different after all.

Zhang Dawei's cheeks twitched, showed a professional smile, and replied, "Thank you Qin Shao for your concern, I just feel a little unsteady." Although we have absolutely overwhelming strength, which is enough to ensure that the Yang Group is difficult to fight back, they have no intention of struggling at all, which is not normal. I wonder if they are secretly hatching some kind of conspiracy to turn the tables. ”

Qin Shao glanced at him sideways for a few seconds, then suddenly let go of his arm, and the hand holding the wine glass gently hammered him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I just said that I didn't see the wrong person!" David, you're good! Among so many people, you are the only one who has always kept a clear head and did not disappoint me! That's why I chose you to be my collaborator in the first place, and I want to toast you on behalf of those bastards! ”

He poured red wine into his cup, and when he reached over, he found that Zhang Dawei's glass was champagne, so he couldn't help but snatch it and splash it.

Zhang Dawei was helpless, so he had to accompany him to drink it all. Fortunately, the amount of wine he has practiced since he was a child has experienced many similar occasions in the United States in those years, and a little red wine is not difficult for him.

Qin Shao squinted his eyes and watched him empty the cup, laughing heartily as if he was hearty, turned his head to look at the square in front of the courtyard, and said confidently: "You can put your heart in your stomach, even if the surname Yang has three heads and six arms, he will definitely not be able to toss any tricks now." Their desperate efforts to raise funds in the country are precisely the expression of their bravado. Let's check him inside and out, and there is absolutely no possibility of a reversal. Don't forget, our country, but our ancestors shed blood and sacrificed to fight, and it will never be the turn of those mud legs to come out. This big meal in Africa, we are ready to eat him! ”

Zhang Dawei didn't think that these words were so harsh, nor did he think that Qin Shao was too arrogant. Although this group of second and third generations caused a lot of chaos because they tossed too much in the country back then, they were driven out by the ruling parents, after all, the roots are still there. Time has passed, and the overall situation in the country is stable, and of course they are not willing to be lonely. Even if he is excluded from the political circle and cannot hold power, with his background, how much of a deal can he make some money?

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if it is very immoral to forcibly seize the property of the Yang family, it is also to pull the money that was originally in the hands of outsiders into the pockets of his own people. Wouldn't it be more credible to play a role in building the country?

Zhang Dawei thinks that this truth is very correct. At the beginning, he didn't think that after studying abroad, he would go back to politics and become an official, but later he found that it was basically impossible to achieve it without a backer, so he desperately took the business route.

He has seen it with his own eyes and verified that the son-in-law who launched this conspiracy to seize property does have a tough background, which is not at all comparable to the grassroots Yang family. Therefore, when he heard Qin Shao's assurance, he also let go of the worries in his heart, and his gaze became blurred when he looked at the square in front of the courtyard again.

Qin Shao smiled knowingly and patted him on the shoulder again: "Don't worry, go down and enjoy!" Tonight's girls were all bought from Europe at a great price, so don't waste it. ”

A fire ignited in Zhang Dawei's chest, and the words that had been curled up in the crotch of his pants for many days were even more impatient, and the plump body he saw as far as his eyes could see, and the allure seemed to have increased a hundredfold at once.

He waited reservedly until Qin Shao hugged the two foreign girls again and went to the inner room, his hand holding the wine glass tightened slightly, and he turned around and was about to go straight downstairs.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a flash of firelight, which flickered sharply in the distance, and then a fierce explosion shook his head! (To be continued......)
