Chapter 1001 - 405: A Golden Opportunity Too Good to Pass Up
As the electronic music ramped up again, the seats near Han Lie were almost about to explode.His own crew tried hard to maintain their composure, keeping a cool and aloof image, but the enthusiasm of the guys and gals outside was overwhelming.
The club was never short of scavengers looking to crash the podium or sneak onto a table. Wherever there’s a presence, they squeeze in, and some bold ones might even try to sneak a spot by trickery to mooch booze and snap pictures for their social media.
The commotion created by Han Lie drew almost all eyes, naturally attracting these crashers.
The main table was hard to approach, but the brothers at the remaining tables were having a blast, picking and choosing from groups of girls trying to join in.
Before long, a few Eastern European models settled in the left booth, and the right booth selectively let in six or seven stunners, a group that rounded up the night’s cream of the crop.
If not for the circle of security guards holding them back, the girls left out could’ve torn their heads off...
Han Lie didn’t join the chaos, instead he thoroughly engaged in networking.
Wave after wave of friends came to greet Fang Yuan, some were trying hard to mix in, stopped at the outer circle by Du Xiaoshuai, while others genuinely had connections and were allowed inside for a drink with Fang Yuan and the others.
Then, Fang Yuan solemnly introduced Han Lie.
Even if nightclub friendships aren’t real, in Han Lie’s eyes, even a small screw can be useful, hence he remained quite amiable.
—Acting cocky before was to establish an image; now giving face is to suit each person, it’s all a damn routine.
After lively drinking for almost ten glasses, Fang Yuan finally explained the second-generation circle of the Magic Capital to Han Lie.
Overall, it can be divided into three major types and several small circles.
The three main types are—
Parents in the system, parents doing business, and parents being average with personal development.
Each type can further be divided into various factions.
For example, Pan Ge representing the true locals, Yu Ping’an representing outsiders developing locally, Wang Dashao representing a pure dragon crossing the river, and the prince of markers representing local nuisances...
Anyway, the circles are diverse and chaotic; on closer inspection, the influence and scope each person can exert are quite limited.
But at the top level, everyone knows each other—not necessarily good relations, but there’s definitely no chance of a stranger suddenly popping up.
Lately, the only exception is Han Lie.
His sudden rise came out of nowhere, and all of a sudden he became a big shot—a money deity.
No circle can withstand the impact of money; this is the most fundamental truth.
Fang Yuan’s sycophantic attitude made the second-generation people greeting them not dare underestimate Han Lie.
"God Lie should be the most badass among our generation, purely relying on ability to fight in the financial market. I’m still in the entrepreneurial phase, while God Lie has already succeeded. No comparison, no comparison!"
"It’s nothing really, different development directions, the big guys are all my learning targets..."
Han Lie maintained a modest attitude, hiding his sharpness externally.
Then he got acquainted with a bunch of second-generation folks who would definitely be useful in the future, spanning all sectors and professions.
The ones with the most impressive parents had a father working at Zi Jiang’s prefectural office, even Tang Xintian had to respectfully toast him.
The one who excelled personally was a core second-generation figure from the Chaoshan gang in the Magic Capital, casually able to pull out billions in cash, more impressive than Wang Dashao at present.
Honestly, at this point in time, if you bring out all of Huaxia’s wealthy second-generation for a comparison, perhaps only Chaoshan circle holds this kind of strength.
When they splash out money, it’s never a one-family affair—they can easily scrape the funds from a village.
Moreover, their entrepreneurial project is damn incredible—a specialized medical and aesthetics company extending from Putian Hospital, planning to become a gold mine in the coming years.
But these two groups didn’t stay long, drinking a couple of glasses before saying goodbye and heading back.
In essence, they didn’t really mingle together, but they respected the occasion, sticking to their closed circles which are hard for outsiders to imagine.
Well, they didn’t want to mix with Fang Yuan and the others, but they were friendly towards Han Lie, eager to make contact with a clear intention.
Someone with real skill in finance can make it anywhere.
After an hour-plus of noisy socializing, Han Lie had met most of the people worth contacting, feeling he gained a lot.
As for the ones he was really curious about—Wang Dashao and the Prince of Markers—they didn’t show up.
The former was disdainful, while the latter had an awareness of his standing.
Although the Prince of Markers is touted online as impressive, half of it is his own paid marketing content; in reality, the top circles don’t really include him.
When everything concluded, almost time for some personal fun, Han Lie intended to hint at Fang Yuan about checking upstairs.
Unexpectedly, before he could say a word, Yu Ping’an from upstairs took the initiative to come down.
"Fang Bro, Teacher Han!"
Han Lie’s matters were easy to dig up; Yu Ping’an almost found it all out before coming downstairs, thus directly greeting Han Lie with a warm smile.
"Hey there!"
Fang Yuan felt pleasantly surprised, quickly moving up to put an arm around Yu Ping’an’s shoulder.
"Ping’an, you’re here? I was just about to take God Lie up to find you... Come on, come on, let’s have a drink first, then I’ll carefully introduce God Lie to you!"
"No need for you to introduce!"
