尹琉璃 had one good quality.

Even though she understood clearly, she preferred to wrong herself rather than make things difficult for Su Yehao.

The oil painting wasn't the main point; the main point was that the oil painting depicted Jiang Yu. After teasing him a few times, Yin Liuli let it go, skipped the topic, and began discussing where to eat dinner tonight.

Also.

She also asked about Miss Vera Andrade.

Su Yehao gave a brief introduction, only to realize that he didn't know much about her. It was mostly about how he had pursued her in the past, and that she was good at painting.

Miss Vera's ancestors were Portuguese nobles, but they had declined slightly later on.

Her branch of the family moved to Casino, 1997 to develop, mainly engaged in the retail of artworks and jewelry, as well as the liquor business.

When the small building near the Senado Square commercial street opened earlier, the channels for purchasing liquor from Vera's family were found through the Beautiful Ladies Royal Court Club of the little girl's family. Since leaving the East Phoenix Rose High School, Su Yehao had only heard some news about Vera.

More than a year had passed, and today was the first time he had seen her…

In the evening.

He strolled leisurely, taking a walk to see Wall Street.

Su Yehao patted the head of the big golden bull, hoping to absorb some good luck and have a bullish year, hoping to continue his efforts this year, and perhaps have the opportunity to cross the "ten billion dollar club" threshold, and enjoy the thrill of becoming a billionaire.

With his wealth accumulated to this point, the speed of earning money was getting faster and faster. As long as the stock price of Yanwenzi Group rises enough after its listing, there was a possibility of becoming a billionaire this year.

However, now that paper wealth came easily, money also disappeared quickly after a stock market crash.

It was just a numbers game, and it was only real if the money was safely in your pocket.

Fortunately, as long as he steadily and earnestly managed the company well, he could earn back the lost bubble in a few years.

In early March of 1999.

The Federal Reserve's interest rate hike collided with a new round of information industrial revolution, and the entire Wall Street was thriving. The financial tycoons in suits were walking on the street with their heads held high.

The average salary here was similar to that of Silicon Valley, but the number of middle and high-income earners was far greater than that of Silicon Valley.

In Silicon Valley, it was as difficult as climbing to heaven to be an executive with a million-dollar annual salary, but on Wall Street, it was very likely that a trader could get millions in bonuses if they were lucky enough to catch a small trend.

In his previous life, Su Yehao would have been so envious that he could only look up to them.

But now, a million dollars in income… it was just so-so. It was enough to exchange for a stainless steel balloon dog sculpture to put at home.

With confidence, the perspective on problems was completely different.

Walking on the street, seeing the names of the companies related to massive amounts of money, Su Yehao was exceptionally calm, even a little contemptuous of these speculative capitalists who harmed people.

Looking at the current economic situation in Southeast Asia, it was in a state of depression. The opportunity for a soft landing was directly shattered by a group of hot money, and countless ordinary people suffered as a result.

Countless enterprises on this street, with their ambitions and greed constantly expanding, reaped global wealth through financial means. Their existence did more harm than good, like leeches attached to the global economic arteries, leading to a series of wars, financial crises, food crises, etc., but without any help to the lives of the vast majority of people.

There was, after all, some difference between a businessman and an entrepreneur. Su Yehao only hoped to become the latter.

Since starting his business.

The only project where he used small tricks to cheat people was the listing of Yanwenzi Group. However, as long as investors were not impulsive and believed in his ability, the stock price of Yanwenzi Group should soar in three to five years.

The company was indeed a good company, but it was dragged down by the general environment, and it wasn't all for the sake of harming people…

——————

Like traveling.

He took a car to leave Wall Street and strolled along Fifth Avenue, accompanying Yin Liuli to buy a few pieces of clothing.

The Dior saleswoman had sharp eyes and immediately recognized that Yin Liuli's watch was extraordinary. She complimented and praised her, inquiring about the news.

Linda Yun, who was shopping with them, casually mentioned the price, making the saleswomen envious.

Su Yehao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had several million-dollar watches. At an auction last year, a Patek Philippe King of Pocket Watches, also known as the Cal.89 150th Anniversary Edition super-large pocket watch, sold for a sky-high price of 4.1 million US dollars.

He also had one of these, which felt heavy in his hand, weighing more than one kilogram, and was only suitable for placing at home as a decoration.

It was just after six o'clock in the evening, New York local time.

Seeing that Linda Yun had been conscientious recently, accompanying him everywhere, Su Yehao gave her a Hermès crocodile Kelly bag as a gift, which made Linda Yun extremely happy. Yin Liuli also bought a new bag.

Two bodyguards from Casino, 1997 also accompanied him on this trip to New York. He also bought two bags for them to take home and give to their wives or girlfriends, as overtime pay. Being a bodyguard was also quite hard work. Perhaps nothing happened all day, but they had to stay by his side all the time.

The temporary Silicon Valley bodyguards, of course, didn't have this treatment.

A Hermès ordinary handbag cost one or two thousand US dollars, which was also quite expensive. Su Yehao still remembered the matter of someone snoring on the plane, and he had already given them overtime pay.

Su Yehao lacked nothing, so he didn't buy anything for himself.

He took the initiative to call Miss Vera, asking her to meet him later at a French restaurant on Fifth Avenue, a restaurant called jeangeorges.

After hanging up the phone.

He asked the Hermès saleswoman and walked towards the jeangeorges restaurant on foot.

Su Yehao asked Linda Yun suspiciously, "Is this French restaurant you recommended reliable? If it's not delicious, be careful I gnaw on your crocodile skin new bag, cut it into strips and eat it in front of you."

Linda Yun was in a good mood at the moment, and readily told him:

"Don't worry, if it's not delicious, I'll treat you to this meal. Last year, HBO in the United States released a TV series called *Sex and the City*. I remember in one episode, the heroine said that the most powerful woman in all of Manhattan was the receptionist at the door of jeangeorges restaurant who decided whether or not to give you a seat. She also said that to prove the status of a New York man, was to see if he needed a reservation at jeangeorges."

“…So arrogant?”

Su Yehao panicked a little and said suspiciously, "My reputation in New York shouldn't be that big, right? What if we are blocked outside and can't eat, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?"

This sentence inexplicably hit Yin Liuli's funny bone. She chuckled and said, "I would like to see how this most powerful woman blocks you outside."

Linda Yun, as a personal secretary.

But for a long time, she had been helping Su Yehao more as a friend, without so many rules and regulations.

She also said with a smile, "Don't worry, I guarantee to arrange everything properly for you. You seem to underestimate your influence. A restaurant is nothing, it's no problem to let that receptionist feed you herself."

Arriving at the restaurant.

It was only a little after six o'clock, and there was already a long queue at the door of jeangeorges restaurant. It looked really strict, and most of the female guests were wearing evening dresses, not afraid of being frozen.

Linda Yun took the lead and walked straight inside.

The "most powerful woman in all of Manhattan" of course stopped her, frowning and asking, "Do you have a reservation?"

Linda Yun pretended to be powerful, pointed to Su Yehao, and frowned as well, "You dare to stop my boss? Su Yehao, one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley in the past two years, iCQ and tvt are his, one of the largest individual shareholders of Yahoo, worth five or six billion US dollars, in the top fifty of the Forbes rich list!"

Su Yehao: "..."

Yin Liuli: "..."

Taking advantage of the restaurant receptionist's stunned observation of Su Yehao, Linda Yun added:

"My boss is in a bad mood today, he lost a multi-billion dollar order. Be careful you make him angry, and he'll buy your restaurant, and everyone else will get a raise, but you'll be the only one fired."

Compared to the receptionist, Linda Yun seemed to be even more powerful.

The female receptionist remained calm, greeted the assistant next to her, and directly brought a laptop, opened Yahoo, and said, "You come and type the name, I don't understand Chinese."

Type it, what's there to be afraid of.

After typing it using the Yahoo search engine, the network speed was relatively fast.

Soon, a long list of news related to Su Yehao appeared on the screen. The latest was that he attended an auction in San Francisco last night, and reporters photographed him with Yang Zhiyuan.

After the receptionist finished reading, her face changed instantly, and her smile was so bright, she asked someone to arrange the best seat.

After they entered.

The other guests queuing at the door immediately complained.

Someone asked, "Didn't you say there were no seats?!"

The receptionist snorted and retorted forcefully, "Do you also have a company valued at four billion US dollars waiting to be listed on NASDAQ? Or are you a major shareholder of Yahoo, worth tens of billions of US dollars?"

As soon as these words came out, the others immediately lost their temper.

It was really awesome, they really couldn't afford to offend him…

Miss Vera Andrade never paid much attention to dressing. Her looks were so outstanding that even simple outfits were moving.

She specially changed into clean clothes for tonight's dinner. She came to New York to create murals for the church and didn't bring an evening dress with her.

When she appeared at the door of jeangeorges restaurant, compared with the many girls queuing at the door, her dress was only ordinary.

A few days ago.

Someone had invited her to dinner, and it was said that they had used many connections to reserve a seat at this jeangeorges French restaurant.

Although Vera didn't accept the other party's invitation, she remembered the name of this restaurant.

Her family's conditions were not bad, and she had heard about Su Yehao's situation for a long time. It was just a meal, and she was not surprised that it would be arranged here. She called Su Yehao, learned that they had already entered and were seated, so she also walked inside.

The other guests continued to pay attention. Miss Vera reported a name and was personally led into the restaurant by the receptionist.

Regarding this kind of thing.

What they feared wasn't honestly queuing, but someone cutting in line.

Someone immediately cursed and grumbled, walking and shouting that they would never come again in the future. The main reason was that their self-esteem couldn't stand the destruction. It was one thing to be inferior to others usually, but even eating a meal was treated differently…
