Back To 2005

At 7:30 pm Beijing time in China and 7:30 am California time in North America, SpaceX’s fourth rocket launch was successful, opening a new chapter in private spaceflight.

North American investment institutions, which were originally negative, were in an uproar.

Zhou Anan, who received the good news call from Lian Xiongdong, knew better that with the successful launch of SpaceX's rocket and its resurrection from the dead, Tesla, also owned by Musk, would also glow with a different kind of vitality.

His $60 million investment yesterday was completed.

"Did SpaceX's rocket launch succeed?"

Listening to Brother Zhou's call next to him, Lian Yujin quickly opened the webpage on his mobile phone and browsed it, and asked with surprise in his eyes.

Nowadays, the Internet is the fastest medium for news dissemination. She has seen a prominent headline on a news website.

This newly acquainted Brother Zhou once again rubbed Fengyun Club's face on the ground.

"Yes, but I should be happy. After all, I won 90 million. Why are you happy, little sister?"

Seeing the joy of the beautiful girl in front of him, Zhou Anan couldn't help but tease her.

The two small dimples on the other person's face when he smiles really look a bit like his girlfriend, but the girlfriend's figure is a little better than the undeveloped other person. Of course, his girlfriend is slightly inferior in terms of long legs.

"Brother Zhou defeated the guy from Fengyun Club, so I am naturally happy to see him."

Regarding this, Lian Yujin's face turned slightly red. Under the cover of the night, he was not afraid of being discovered by the other party, but he walked forward quickly for a while.

She didn't know why she was happy for Brother Zhou, whom she had just met.

Maybe she just really couldn't stand some people in the Fengyun Club.

"Ah."

Looking at the back of the little girl from the Lian family, Zhou Anan smiled and shook her head, then followed her.

"How did it succeed?"

"I just can't understand why he guesses it every time."

"This is so fucking evil."

"It's over. It's time to return the Ferrari I booked next month."

"Well, my pocket money for the next quarter is gone, so I can only live on salary."

"You are only in the next quarter. My old man knew about my bet and said that I lost my living expenses for three years. In the next three years, I really have to run my own cosmetics branch well."

"The same goes for my old man. Next month, I will have to go to work at the branch in Beijing."

Different from someone's joy, in a luxury box of a bar, the happy atmosphere ten minutes ago became a bit heavy, especially the six people who lost the bet were sighing.

Who would have thought that SpaceX's rocket was actually launched successfully, and that a private company actually sent the rocket into the sky. It was simply the biggest joke of the century.

Those who lost 15 million felt a little heavy.

Of course, no one suggested breaking the appointment.

This bet has made the whole Hong Kong city's elite aware of it. If someone's character is ruined because of such a bet, the whole Hong Kong city will laugh to death.

Precisely because everyone in Hong Kong knew about this bet, the old men of several families had spoken out, and if they lost, they would immediately cut off the payment and allotments.

"Okay, okay, it's not like the sky is falling. Next time, let's just find our place again."

Yuan Sishen, who lost millions last time, looked at everyone's heavy mood and smiled to liven up the atmosphere.

Fortunately, he was not there last night, otherwise he would have been like the other brothers, not only losing 15 million, but also being laughed at by people in the elite club again.

Although he said that he would find another place next time, he decided in his heart that when he saw the young wealthy man from the mainland in the future, he would retreat a thousand meters and walk around.

Counting the time with the Yun family, their Fengyun Club had lost face three times. Each time they made a bet with full confidence, only to be slapped in the face by the other party.

So frustrating.

"Come on, come on. After drinking this glass of wine, let's go back to our homes. See you next year."

Lan Jinghai, who was feeling the most depressed, picked up a glass of cocktail, stood up and said to everyone present.

As he was assigned to a branch in the mainland, he had no chance of returning to Hong Kong this year. This was also a gentleman's agreement between him and his old man.

A man has no shame when he loses. If he dares to act and admit it, there will always be a turn for the better next time.

"Okay, see you next year."

The other fellow sufferers all got up and started working boldly.

"Zi."

"Zizzi."

"Zizzizi."

The text messages on the phone rang one after another. Zhou Anan picked up the phone and looked at it, and found that it was a bank text message that received 15 million yuan in a row.

The Swiss bank card that originally had no funds suddenly had an extra 90 million in cash. It seems a bit easy to make money.

It's a pity that the young elites in Hong Kong City are not fools. It is impossible for him to keep cutting leeks. There must be no chance of such a good thing happening again.

"Brother An, it's your turn, sing quickly."

Just as Zhou Anan was lost in thought, an urging female voice sounded next to her. She quickly picked up the microphone and sang a somewhat awkward Cantonese song, 90% off-key.

Before leaving the Lian Family Villa, Zhou Anan received a call from Tianxian's sister, saying that she wanted to celebrate his winning a bet, and the two of them started singing in the hotel's KTV.

"Hahaha"

Liu Feifei on the side listened to the specious Cantonese and couldn't help but hold her stomach and lie on the table laughing.

She didn't expect that the usually steady CEO Zhou Da would be so funny in Cantonese, which was simply unimaginable.

However, this also makes the other person more approachable and the distance between him and her is not that big.

"You smile so happily, and your singing is only a little better than mine."

Looking at the sky where the fairy sister in a light pink dress was leaning over and laughing, Zhou Anan glanced at her and retorted naturally.

Unexpectedly, this fairy sister prefers pink.

"My Cantonese is indeed not very good, but based on 100 points, Brother An, you can only score 15 points at most. I at least passed."

On this issue where she has a sense of superiority, Liu Feifei admitted her disadvantages unceremoniously.

No matter how bad he is, he is still much stronger than the other party, isn't he?

"Do you dare to compare?"

Seeing the Tianxian sister with her head held high, Zhou Anan raised the corner of her mouth and asked with a smile.

"It's a competition. If you lose, you have to agree to a condition."

Faced with the opponent's overestimating challenge, Liu Feifei accepted with a smile on her face and had already thought about her bet.

"If you lose"

"Whatever you do, I agree."

"OK."

"Laughing at you, I am wasting my efforts in vain. I love to compete with the beauty of the mirror flower.

Afraid that luck will disappear in a blink of an eye, obsessed with greed, anger, joy, evil and anger.

I blame you and me for being too greedy for power and power, and blame the sentient beings on the earth for being too beautiful.

I regret the old days when I was too clinging to my promises and vows, and I was obsessed with sorrow, joy, sorrow, jealousy and jealousy.

Ah, I can’t bear to leave the bright world. Ah, I can't escape the joy of infatuated love.

Ah, I can’t find a hue replacement. Ah, I will never be able to figure this problem out in my lifetime."

Listening to this skillful singing and not too off-key tone, Liu Feifei, who was originally full of confidence, was dumbfounded.

This was completely different from the other person's awkward Cantonese accent before.

Could it be that the other party was pretending before?

No, she fell into a trap.

In an instant, Liu Feifei seemed to have guessed someone's evil intentions. Looking at the person's seemingly loyal face, she became very angry.

"How about it?"

After singing the song, Zhou Anan looked at the dumbfounded Tianxian sister with a smile.

"Did you just pretend?"

Without questioning loudly, Liu Feifei asked the other party with her eyes widened.

"No, I only know one or two songs."

"One or two?"

"Why, you're not trying to cheat, are you?"

"Of course not, I keep my word."

"Then I have to make some conditions."

At the end of July, in the sight of many online colleagues, a shopping website called Mingpinhui suddenly appeared.

“50% off authentic products.”

“30% off genuine products.”

“20% off genuine products.”

"It's not genuine, I'll give you three in return."

"After receiving the goods, returns are guaranteed within seven days."

…

An overwhelming amount of advertisements were spread on celebrity WeChat accounts, TX channels, and the homepages of major portal websites. Huge traffic instantly poured into this newly established online shopping platform.

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhou, I'm here to tell you the good news."

"What good news?"

Zhou Anan, who had just finished breakfast and was playing hide-and-seek with his Tianxian sister, had to stop playing the game when he received a call from Liu Xijian.

"Half an hour after Mingpinhui went online, all the inventory of 35 brands was wiped out, and sales exceeded 30 million. The number of real-name registered users of the website has exceeded 1 million."

Speaking of this achievement, Liu Xijian's voice was full of excitement.

Such sales performance is beyond the reach of even JD Mall, which has been developing for many years.

Of course, except for the day when a foreign brand of milk powder went online some time ago.
