Chapter 1722: Chapter 702: Lafin_2

"My dad’s the same way. Although the Miao Village project hasn’t fully landed yet, you know my family has always been in construction, and now we’ve connected with Yalong Real Estate. Even just a little slip through the fingers amounts to millions of business, so who cares about these few hundred thousand?"

Zhou Yiquan chimed in.

"It’s not the same thing."

Zhou Wang shook his head and said, "Should I transfer the money back to you guys...?"

"Hey, hey, Brother Dog, if you keep talking like that, it’s gonna get awkward!"

"Don’t think we won’t get mad at you, stop right now!"

"Exactly, it’s just a matter of saving a little pocket money, it’s not like missing these millions means we’re going to be blowing in the wind, it’s not that bad..."

Seeing their instant uproar, Zhou Wang could only remain silent.

He really wanted to tell this bunch of good nephews that if you just tell me where to buy, with my system privileges, heck, I could get it for free!

But now it’s a done deal. Even if he transfers the money back to them, the system won’t refund it... Brother Tongzi would never leave such an obvious loophole.

Feeling touched beyond words, Zhou Wang ultimately didn’t say anything more, just patted them on the shoulder, and silently noted this friendship in his heart.

Actually, there’s no need to be too sentimental. It’s not like he, as someone with hacks, couldn’t lead them to earn back this little money tenfold or hundredfold?

It’s just that now, not only his personal assets but the System Store is sealed too. Everything has to wait until he completes the fourth action round...

"Where to now?"

After some joking around, Zhou Wang took the initiative to ask.

Since Young Master Zhang and the others have already arranged everything, it surely won’t be just giving gifts, there should be follow-up activities.

"Of course, it’s not over until we’re wasted!"

Young Master Zhang laughed heartily, "The place is already arranged, right at the nearby New INS Paradise. We’ve booked the Lafin on the sixth floor, and furthermore, Brother Dog, we’ve prepared a very interesting surprise for you. I think you’ll like it..."

"Oh? Is it the park with the nightclub theme?"

Zhou Wang was somewhat familiar with this place. Just a few days ago while chatting with Wang Jiale in Korea, he mentioned checking this place out. He just doesn’t know what the "little surprise" Young Master Zhang mentioned entails.

Seeing them laughing so slyly, Zhou Wang, considering himself a gentleman, didn’t want to guess the specifics.

"Then let’s go, just in time for me to test drive the car."

Zhou Wang waved to them and first got into the driver’s seat of the LaFerrari.

Vroom!

As if a unique symphony mixing doomsday roar with futuristic electronic music, ripped through the night sky the moment the LaFerrari’s engine ignited. Zhou Wang stomped on the gas, leading the way.

...

Outside the coffee shop, Song Rui turned and looked at Cheng Yiyi, whose eyes were filled with reluctance.

"Since you saw him, why not say hello?"

"I... am not good enough yet."

Cheng Yiyi’s gaze continued following the car’s tail, she replied softly, "It’s already very good to see him like this. I’m already content... maybe it’s fate’s signal, proving that staying in Magic City was the right choice for me."

As she said the last bit, Cheng Yiyi broke into a satisfied smile.

...

The so-called INS Paradise is located next to Recovery Park, originally the Qian Gui Building, now transformed into a six-story, 20,000-square-meter composite space.

Including the basement floor, each floor has different themed bars or nightclubs, yet they all form a whole of sorts... much like a theme park, each floor is an independent "theme venue," where you can purchase a pass and "hop through seven venues" in one night.

This theme park format combining bars became trendy in some tier-one and tier-two cities in recent years, creating a park-like drinking experience, much favored by today’s young adults.

When the supercar drove in with a roar, it instantly stirred the young men and women gathered at the park entrance.

Even in the bustling Magic City, such a supercar street parade is actually quite rare, not to mention the fact that several "special forces" tourists directly came over with their suitcases to check-in, many people immediately took out their phones, recording the scene before them.

...Luckily, thanks to earlier vigilance, Zhou Wang was somewhat prepared. He put on a duckbill hat found in Shao Xiaoqi’s car in advance, and also took Young Master Zhang’s sunglasses. Although the disguise seemed a bit conspicuous, at least those unfamiliar wouldn’t recognize him at first glance.

Under the guidance of the security at the entrance, he parked the car in the designated slot. Zhou Wang noted when he got out of the car, there was a lot of whispering, but at least no one screamed his name, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.

Though mixing in such crowded and eye-catching public areas could still lead to him being recognized, as long as there wasn’t a mob gathering, Zhou Wang didn’t mind.

"Quite the crowd here!"

When Young Master Zhang and the others joined him, Zhou Wang glanced at the bustling scene at the park entrance and couldn’t help but comment.

"Unless you reserve a booth or individually buy drinks, a pass for a few hundred bucks lets you party all night in this building, so lots of young folks come here... No worries, up to the sixth floor, and it’s entirely our territory."

Young Master Zhang said with a smile.

With several security personnel leading the way, with a thought to explore, they walked up the stairs to the sixth floor. Along the way, listening to their conversation, Zhou Wang came to know that both Shao Xiaoqi and Guo Bing are actually shareholders here.

However, among shareholders in various industries, those in bars and nightclubs are probably "the least valuable."

Using INS Paradise as an example, when preparing, all bars here released part of the original shares, then split these shares into a hundred, the price per share is the same, and selling them openly within certain circles...

It means if you pay a certain amount of money for a share, you’re technically a shareholder in the bar, entitled to some internal benefits.

This has become a popular business model in the bar scene today, besides spreading the risk, it benefits founders by allowing them to recoup cash before the bar opens.

"Xiao Qi and Guo Bing bought shares in the Lafin Bar on the sixth floor, fifty thousand each, they bought at least ten shares, so they count as big shareholders, plus the building’s development involves the Guo Group too, so you get it..."

Listening to Young Master Zhang’s explanation, Zhou Wang realized why he said this is "their territory," no wonder even on such popular nights like Christmas Eve, they could book the venue.

This isn’t something mere money could do.

From the first floor to the sixth floor, Zhou Wang paid special attention, the business here could only be described as booming, even though it was a holiday, the crowd was unbelievably excessive, nearly every bar had lines at the door.

Hiphop, Livehouse, Electronic music, Dancing... nearly every style of bar could be found within this building, the main crowd was all in their early twenties, and the girls hanging around were generally of high caliber, the city nightlife vibe was strong.

Arriving at Lafin Bar on the sixth floor, the surrounding hustle gradually faded. Security blocked the pathway at the entrance, next to them stood a "private booking, no disturbances" sign. But to Zhou Wang’s slight surprise, although the clamorous music noise disappeared, faint chatter could still be heard from inside the bar.

"Uncle, ready for a surprise?"

Shao Xiaoqi winked at Zhou Wang, then Guo Bing blindfolded Zhou Wang and pushed him into the bar.

Zhou Wang laughed and didn’t resist. He might as well see... what kind of crazy surprise they had in store.
