The Su and Zhao families both worked in the same industry, and the circle wasn't large, so they often dealt with each other.

In his early years, Su's father was mainly engaged in building materials and construction. His business couldn't compare with the Donghuang Group. It was only when he started venturing into the real estate industry a few years ago that he caught a favorable wind and soared.

Although the Donghuang Group had made successive strategic decision-making mistakes in the past two years, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and its scale is still larger than Sihai International.

However, the Donghuang Group is a listed company with a large number of shareholders.

As a major shareholder, the Zhao family's total net worth has gradually become less than the Su family's. It can't be said that they've declined, but they just happened to encounter a low period in the real estate industry. They might be able to rise again at any time. The two families are almost evenly matched.

Evenly matched, this was Su's father's previous view.

But now it's different.

Last night, he accidentally learned that his son had pocketed more than two billion Hong Kong dollars in one fell swoop. The thoughts of envying Zhao Yimeng for being sensible, envying other people's children for being excellent, and so on, were all swept into the trash can.

After all, he hadn't heard of any friend's child who had spent more than a year accumulating a fortune of several billion before the age of twenty. Su's father was extremely proud at this moment.

He used to envy the Zhao family for holding three listed companies, but now he didn't feel like he was losing out at all. When meeting Zhao Yimeng's parents, he was extremely happy, with a completely different mentality than before.

Just like when he praised Zhao Yimeng at the door.

Zhao Yimeng's father also got up to greet him, and when he shook hands with Su Yehao, he said politely, "Little Hao is really a talented person now. I heard my daughter say that you've taken over a large American company. A new generation replaces the old. I can't accept being old. When I was your age, I had just entered university and was asking my family for money every day."

"You're too kind, Uncle Zhao. I still have a lot to learn from you..."

Su Yehao had just finished being modest when his father interjected with a smile, "President Zhao only asked for living expenses, but my son is different. Recently, I transferred 100 million US dollars to him for acquisitions. My legs are still shaking, because I'm afraid the acquired company will fail. What high technology? I don't understand it at all."

Just when Zhao Yimeng's parents thought he was being modest and were about to say a few polite words.

Su's father changed the topic. Clearly, no one had asked, but he took the initiative to say:

"Speaking of my son, I really don't have to worry about him these days. Last month, he secretly started stock options without telling me or his mother, with a large position of more than 600 million US dollars. Do you think he's bold or not?"

These words, on the surface, clearly carried a hint of blame.

However.

Su Yehao's mouth twitched.

Based on his understanding of his own father, he had already guessed something... He clearly couldn't hold back and was preparing to unleash a big move.

Zhao Yimeng's mother, Jin Yu, fell for it and immediately smiled to help smooth things over, saying considerately, "Little Hao is still young. It's a good thing to dare to take action when you encounter an opportunity. As parents, we should let go and let them explore more."

Su Yehao heard this and looked slightly helpless.

Sure enough.

Su's father smiled happily, pretended to sigh, and continued, "That's what I thought too. I didn't expect this kid to have the luck of a fool, and he really made a name for himself, earning more than 200 million US dollars in less than a month, a full twenty-odd billion Hong Kong dollars! That's why it's not good for young people to have it too easy. Unlike us back then, we took one step at a time, working steadily upwards. If the foundation isn't solid, it's easy to suffer in the future."

After hearing these words, Zhao Yimeng and her parents' expressions instantly became a little dull, completely unable to keep up with Su's father's train of thought.

They all looked at Su Yehao.

What could Su Yehao say? He smiled shyly, thinking that he hadn't misjudged his father. He was indeed a master of Versailles.

To this, he could only say that the Zhao family was unlucky to have run into the line of fire.

Su's father had been holding back his pride all night, and he hadn't had a chance to vent it until now. He couldn't just call those friends, as that would seem too ostentatious and not subtle enough.

For example, his good friend Uncle Qiu had been troubled by his children's affairs in recent years, unable to find a way out.

Showing off in front of Uncle Qiu would easily cause the other party to lose their balance and affect the relationship. There weren't so many concerns in front of the Zhao family.

Zhao Yimeng's father's face was full of black lines, and Ms. Jin Yu's eyes twitched, finally understanding what he meant.

Fortunately, they understood Su's father's temperament and weren't surprised. It was something he could do. Be low-key? That didn't exist. For example, the matter of Golden Fat taking over Shang Feng Shang Shui at a high price, Su's father had mentioned it as an interesting story, taking the opportunity to show his wisdom.

Although Jin Yu and her husband were envious and jealous, and didn't want Su's father to succeed, now that things had been said to this point, they still had to praise him, even if they had to force themselves...

Zhao Yimeng glanced at Su Yehao.

In the past, she only thought that Su Yehao, who had shamelessly pestered her, was hateful. Only now did she understand that the root cause lay with Su Sihai, the father.

Some wealthy people do like to be low-key, but Su's father was clearly not that kind of person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have built the hotel so high, hanging the oversized signboard of Sihai International in Central Hong Kong, and investing in the impractical Sihai International Golf Club. Even his license plate was a single digit.

As children, they fear being compared to others in front of others, especially when they can't compare.

Zhao Yimeng didn't understand this feeling before, but now she suddenly experienced it. She felt a little uncomfortable, but she had to admire Su Yehao.

After his father had his fill, Su Yehao silently sighed, fearing that in another day or two, the upper circles of Casino and Hong Kong would hear about his making a lot of money.

Like father, like son.

Rather than worrying about running into trouble, Su Yehao felt a surge of confidence, a bit of lightheadedness.

It's hard to hide it when you make too much money...

After some small talk.

They ate and drank as they pleased. Su's father didn't mention that he had been kept in the dark and only found out about it last night. He only acted as if it was his idea to take the land in Guangzhou and continue to build the second cultural and tourism city.

Don't think that Su's father doesn't know anything about the Internet business. When it comes to the real estate industry in the mainland, he's very knowledgeable.

From policies to population, to economic development and urban planning, in any case, the price of land in Pengcheng has been rising, especially since the peak of the financial tsunami this year. People's enthusiasm for acquiring land and buying houses has exploded again. Su's father really thinks it's worth investing in.

In recent years, the price of new homes in the mainland has repeatedly broken new highs. With the price of land there, the price of new homes in the future will definitely not be low. In addition, the price of houses didn't drop much last year, and new homes can still be digested smoothly. This is supported by policy and the market.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were actually optimistic about it as well, but the main issue they were struggling with was the land itself, and how much room there was for future appreciation.

With such a large investment, it was normal that they couldn't finish talking about it in one go, and that they would hesitate.

Su's father, who suddenly had confidence, only said that if Donghuang didn't participate, then Sihai International would invest on its own, and Donghuang could participate as a small shareholder, just like the Pengcheng project.

Overall, the meal went relatively smoothly.

But the Zhao Yimeng family wasn't in a good mood, because unlike the Su family, their family was indeed declining, and their strength was a little weaker than last year.

There's harm in comparing, and while life goes on as usual, their mentality was a bit unbalanced.

Especially Zhao Yimeng, a beautiful and intelligent young woman, was almost a vase compared to Su Yehao.

What was even more infuriating was yet to come.

Suddenly, a friend of Zhao Yimeng's called to ask if she had gone on a blind date, and that the bride price alone was one billion.

Casino is too small.

Such explosive news spread at a dizzying speed, spreading like wildfire. Some people thought of the Donghuang Group's current predicament, and combined with the frequent transactions between the Su and Zhao families, they thought that the Zhao family was going to rely on marrying off their daughter to get money and drag the company out of the quagmire.

There was also good news.

As this matter continued to ferment and spread, the Donghuang Group's stock price... jumped five points at the opening.

It could barely be considered an unexpected surprise.

Even Zhao Yimeng's parents began to smile and think that the meal was worth it, and they were even more moved by the idea of both sides cooperating to invest in the mainland.
