Chapter 1(1)
There are many benefits of being rich and powerful. The specific manifestation is as follows - in a club restaurant that is fully booked and has a reservation system, there is no need to show the black American Express card that represents your identity. As long as Wen Jingrui's highly recognizable face appears at the door of the restaurant, he smiles and asks the waiter, and the manager will appear immediately and take him and the customer to the best window seat in the restaurant.
Through the large glass, you can see the endless green lawn outside the club. The rolling mountains in the distance are set against the blue sky and white clouds, making it as desirable as a paradise.
"Vincent, you still have a way. It is said that it is hard to find a seat in this club restaurant. Today, thanks to your face, I have the honor to taste the food here. Ian returned to the United States last month and has never forgotten the cherry duck here!" The white man over forty said expectantly and excitedly in English, with joy on his face.
After drinking two glasses of champagne served by the restaurant host, he was even more elated and said: "Vesta is great, she is perfect, I want to see her every month..."
Wen Jingrui listened to the man in front of him talking about "her" in an admiring tone, with a slight smile on his lips, and listened quietly.
"My wife is very unhappy that I fly to Taiwan six times a year. I just got off the plane yesterday, and as soon as I told her that I was in Taiwan, she yelled on the phone that Vesta has ruined our marriage." The white man could not suppress his joy when mentioning the mistress who had offended the queen."I want to see Vesta so much. When can I let her come back to Miami with me? I'm tired of Ian showing off his Hemera!" A look of jealousy appeared on his face when he mentioned his best friend.
Wen Jingrui couldn't help laughing and replied in fluent English: "There are still a few tests that have not passed. We all hope that she will be perfect. If everything goes according to plan, I think she can go back with you to celebrate Thanksgiving this year."
"Great, it's my wife's wedding anniversary, and I'm going to have a Thanksgiving party on the Vesta!" The man looked full of excitement."When my wife saw the dressing room I built for her on the Vesta, she would definitely take back her words that Vesta ruined our marriage."
"Wait patiently and you will get sweet fruits." Wen Jingrui smiled.
This white man came to his yacht company and ordered a luxury yacht that could carry 20 people, with a hull length of 44.45 meters and a width of 8.52 meters. It was a gift for himself and his wife for their 20th wedding anniversary. He made many design requirements for his wife. He even happily said that he was looking forward to the days when his daughter would not be at home after she went to college and they would be the only couple.
"Women are just suspicious and sick, you know."
The white man started chatting completely, and Wen Jingrui also communicated with him naturally, without showing any fear of trying to please him because he was the group leader of one of the world's top 100 companies.
Owning an internationally renowned yacht company, Wen Jingrui comes into contact with all powerful customers, and he often spends a lot of money on his favorite toys without blinking an eye.
Generally speaking, it takes about two years for a yacht to be completed from design, construction, assembly to various tests. During the construction of the yacht, the big bosses who place orders and have many things to do are thinking about it. Most of them are concerned about the progress every month and fly from the other side of the world from time to time just to take a look at the yacht under construction and make sure that everything is fine with "her" before returning to work with satisfaction.
The customers who ordered yachts from him were busy. As the owner and designer of a yacht group, Wen Jingrui was even more busy. Today, he took a break from his busy schedule and took the customer who placed a big order in front of him to have a meal in the club to show his loyalty as a landlord.
All in all, it may have been a long time since he came to the club to visit the offspring of Japan's undefeated Triple Crown horse Deep Impact, which was less than two years old.
"It's really interesting that a yacht company owner brings his clients to the racecourse club for dinner." While eating the extremely delicious cherry duck breast, something suddenly occurred to the white man and he said with a smile.
He had suspected for a long time that the place they were in was surrounded by mountains and had an endless lawn, which was completely incompatible with a yacht that could be directly associated with the sea. However, this young and talented Wen Jingrui, who had numerous praises among yacht enthusiasts, always invited customers to dine at this club, which was a short drive away from the shipyard and the harbor and had no view of the sea.
Wen Jingrui slowly swallowed the beef balls in his mouth, showed a "you know" expression, and then said, "I have a horse here. I have been busy doing watertight tests recently. I haven't seen it for two weeks."
Before the yacht leaves the ship, it will undergo a watertight test. It is a simulated test to ensure that the boat does not leak under various rainfall conditions. Usually water will wash the hull from various angles for two to four hours. Since this is the final test work, it must not be sloppy, so Wen Jingrui will personally watch it at the shipyard.
The white man smiled knowingly."I understand."
The two men, who had different hobbies but also spent money, looked at each other and smiled sympathetically.
After the dinner, Wen Jingrui arranged for the club to send a car to take the client to the airport to catch a private plane back to the United States. As for him, he planned to take a look at the beloved horse that had cost him a lot of effort and money to bring to Taiwan from Japan.
Wen Jingrui finished seeing off customers at the gate and was about to leave the main tower, which was full of European castle style, when he was stopped by the club manager.
"Mr. Wen, please come over, Mr. Wen." The manager in a straight suit stood upright with his back straight.
The man in front of him is the youngest member of the racecourse club. His membership does not rely on the protection of his family, but on his own ability. The Poseidon Yacht Group he runs has its origins in a city in Italy near the Mediterranean Sea called Genoa. It is the largest and oldest group in the yacht industry in terms of market share.
Unfortunately, there was no successor to this well-known yacht group, so Wen Jingrui, who had worked in Poseidon for many years and climbed into the core of the group, finally became the president. While he owned such a large yacht kingdom, he also had a network of contacts that could not be ignored. Whether they were CEOs of major global companies, princes of Dubai, Italian mafia, Irish gangsters, etc., they were all Wen Jingrui's clients.
Taiwan's technology and market for building yachts are increasingly rivaling those of European and American powers. Four years ago, a Taiwanese yacht company failed to survive the sluggish market and declared bankruptcy. After evaluation, Wen Jingrui bought the shipyard and retained the senior employees of the original company. He established the Poseidon Yacht Group's shipyard in Taiwan, and he traveled back and forth between Taiwan and Italy as a trapeze artist.
When he led the Poseidon Group to Taiwan, it caused a great response. He not only brought a shipyard, but also allowed foreign business owners with unique investment vision to stay in Taiwan, thus creating many investment opportunities. Not only the media was interested in him, but many business owners in Taiwan wanted to contact this well-connected president of the yacht group.
He doesn't have the airs of a corporate boss, and he never puts on a serious or intimidating expression. Wen Jingrui gives the impression of a young man with a warm smile, who is friendly and easy to get along with.
His clothes are also leading the trend. He wears a beige suit jacket with a white casual shirt and black suit pants. His dressing style is simple but formal and fashionable, which is completely consistent with his age - he is thirty-two years old, and he is a delicious golden bachelor.
The club manager has seen all kinds of people in this gold-selling cave, and naturally he will not regard Wen Jingrui as an easy person to get along with because of his kindness and gentleness. He can see that although there is a smile on this man's face, the smile does not reach his eyes.
"Mr. Wen actually wants to meet a junior like me? Then of course I have to give Mr. Wen face and lead the way." Coldness quickly flashed in his eyes, Wen Jingrui smiled lightly and asked the manager to lead the way for him without making any embarrassment.
The manager did not feel relieved. Instead, he led Wen Jingrui through the reception hall and to the third floor of the club as if facing a formidable enemy.
In this racecourse club, members can have an exclusive room. The rooms on the third floor belong to people who have been members for more than 30 years. The senior members of the club are often well-known people in various industries.
