Chapter 410: God of Cards

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

It was afternoon when he arrived in Shanghai. In the evening, Chu Hong organized a small meeting.

There were middle and high-level leaders from the banks of PUFA, CITIC, Xingye, ICBC, Zheshang.

There was a huge gap in status between them and the head office leaders, but they were all the backbone of the business and were not weak.

The other accompanying guests were the vice general manager of the Shanghai Investment Company and a subordinate unit manager of the cultural unit.

The ranks of the two accompanying guests were not high, but they were both in charge.

Then there was President Ai, the general manager of Kerry Hotel, and Wang Yan’s old friend who had just returned to China.

The last one was a “Young Entrepreneur” who ran a medium-sized private enterprise. He was in charge of the whole process and was responsible for paying the bill.

Strictly speaking, the market value of Wangting Entertainment was not much higher than the other company, but their status was completely different.

That guy begged for a bank loan, and Chu Hong treated Wang Yan like a god. There was no way he could be compared to him.

A group of middle-aged and old men eating, drinking, and bragging was a boring thing.

Wang Yan patiently accompanied them. He did not speak much and appeared extremely low-key and modest.

He immediately left a deep impression on all the leaders.

On social occasions, Wang Yan was getting better at handling the situation.

Young people often did not know how to properly distinguish when to exert strength and when to hide their weaknesses. They either exaggerate, act recklessly, or were too reserved and timid.

It was actually very simple.

When you enter a new environment, no one knew you, might as well act like a high-profile person. You could show yourself through some means, even if you had to brag.

If you did not attract enough attention, no one would have the patience to get to know you.

Nowadays, everyone is impetuous, a person will be labeled with just two or three contacts.

However, if someone already knew you, and was willing to revolve around you, it would be better to keep a low profile.

Compared to someone who brags about you, bragging about yourself will never be as comfortable.

This was the right time to create an image.

The more modest and low profile you appeared to be, the more people would be willing to accept you, and your impression on others would improve. It would be convenient for you to do anything in the future.

Today’s game had a purpose.

When those vice presidents, loan officers, and card managers came, the minimum goal was to connect with Wang Yan, and the best result was to send out a card.

Every bank had a mission for a high-end card type.

Those who had been in the bank knew how difficult it was to bear the burden of the mission.

That was because the threshold was there. No matter how much one was punished, it was impossible to give a high-end card to a bricklayer randomly. If something went wrong, it was worse than being punished.

For example, China Merchants’ AE Black, the mission was pushed to the sales department, and the branch would rather pay the annual fee for the customer out of their own pocket. They had to ensure that the customer’s credit was good and their assets were sufficient.

That was why China Merchants Bank’s Centurion Black Gold card was issued the most indiscriminately, and the limit was also the lowest.

But there was nothing they could do about it. The reward and punishment system was set, if they didn’t resort to using any crooked means, their performance would not be great.

Therefore, a high net worth client like Wang Yan was very important.

As long as they could snag one such client, they would be able to complete the entire year’s mission of a small branch and one-tenth of a large branch.

Indeed, no one knew how much Wang Yan had, but Chu Hong was bragging for him!

Not only Chu Hong, but Ai Jialiang was also sparing no effort in bragging.

Staying in Xiangji’s president suite for more than ten days, hosting an event caused Kerry Hotel’s restaurant to be full that patrons had to wait in line for a table. What was the point of having such a mouth if he wasn’t going to brag?

After that, Wang Yan let out a sigh and a few banks swarmed over.

There was no way to discuss in detail during the banquet, but needless to say, from tomorrow onwards, they would definitely urge him with all their might.

Chu Hong was beaming with joy. He felt that Young Master Wang was respecting him, and was determined to proceed to the next round. He patted his chest and shouted, “I’ll arrange it, don’t snatch it!”

Chu Hong would never have thought that Wang Yan was really short of money now.

Actually, it wasn’t his fault. That loan was currently on Wangting Entertainment’s account, and Wang Yan didn’t use the money.

As for the private savings stashed in Minsheng Bank, it was as stable as Mount Tai.

Who would have thought that Wang Yan was so short of money that he had to use credit cards to save himself?

He was getting better at playing the trick of truth and falsehood.

For the next project, Wang Yan didn’t participate in the whole process. He took a shower, massaged his feet, waited for them to set up the card table, and waved goodbye.

They were of different ages and couldn’t play together, so everyone fully understood.

When he returned, Wang Yan was still thinking — was it because he was in the financial system that he liked to play cards, or was it because people preferred playing cards when they hit middle age?

He could not figure it out.

Riding back to the hotel in Ai Jialiang’s car, President Ai cordially invited Wang Yan to participate in the Shangri-la Group’s annual reward program, travel to Singapore, and gather high-end customers around the world. It was not only a good opportunity to play, but also a good chance to expand his network.

Wang Yan politely refused.

It sounded useless. Real high-end customers would definitely not be interested. Those who were willing to go were probably internet celebrities and speculators.

As a consumer, Wang Yan’s attitude was very clear.

It was a consumer and service provider’s relationship. We would not be talking about anything else other than this.

International socialization?

One might slip if they took a huge stride.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next day at 8:30, the cell phone was ringing non-stop.

In two days’ time, five new cards were easily applied after going to five different banks consecutively.

The quota was between 500 to 1000.

It wasn’t high, but the advantage was that most accounts do not need a deposit quota and the terms and conditions were flexible.

Only Universe Bank’s Centurion card had a limit of 10 million, with a deposit of 10 million dollars.

After all, it was Universe Bank, so it was understandable.

In short, 10 million cash in exchange for a 30 million credit, it was a huge profit.

No matter how urgent it was, it would take time to get the card, and he didn’t know if he could make it to the end of the month…

Since he had done his best, Wang Yan was not anxious.

If he really could not make it, he would take an advance from Wangting Entertainment for a portion of next month’s share.

After he was done with the five credit cards, Wang Yan still did not have the time to rest.

After all, there were only six banks.

Not counting the more aloof Agricultural Bank and Bank of China, how many commercial banks were left?

Twenty or more.

When Wang Yan kept quiet, those people could not contact him. Now that he had spoken, each of his new friends had a few acquaintances in the industry, and Wang Yan was immediately pestered.

All of them would say, “Mr. Wang, if we cooperate, I would definitely return the favor!”

Fine, then let’s continue.

Another two days had passed, and thirteen applications were submitted.

Some banks needed to rush for the mission at the end of the year, while others had already fulfilled the quota and were discussing submitting in January after the New Year. Each bank had its own considerations.

However, they had one thing in common — they were all very simple.

The treatment that Wang Yan received in this aspect was top-notch. Basically, it was the person in charge of the card office who contacted him directly and specially invited him to apply for a card.

The world of the rich was unruly!

In a blink of an eye, thirteen new cards were added. The quota would probably be increased by 50 million. They could call him God of Cards!

When they were done, it was already the 24th.

Wang Yan was eager to return and immediately booked a plane ticket back to the capital.

He wanted to accompany San Wan during the holidays!

However, as soon as he landed, he had something else to do.

An Xiaofang said that Guan Hu and Little Steel Cannon wanted to invite them to attend the old gangster’s movie premiere. There would be a thank-you banquet in the evening.

Liu Li said that for tomorrow’s Christmas Eve, the sisters wanted to get together.

They definitely wanted to attend the Christmas party tomorrow. It had been a long time since they had fun together. It was perfect.

As for the thank-you banquet… Wang Yan was not very interested.

In the end, An Xiaofang told Wang Yan that Tao Tao would be attending the banquet and he wanted to talk to him in person. After all, Wang Yan was a scenario writer, producer, and assistant director.

He was only a small supporting role, what a load of crap!

Wang Yan frowned and An Xiaofang finally got to the point. “If the negotiations were successful, Zi Tao was willing to reduce his salary to 5 million to participate…”

Then we have to go!

Wang Yan was not lacking that bit of money, but investing and spending were two different things. If the actors had lower pay, the return on investment would be higher.

It was an important indicator that could be used for bragging.

Before the screening, he had the media released a piece of news, “A total investment of 200 million for a blockbuster film” to hype up and attract attention.

When it went offline, the main creative team shall personally clarify that “The investment was only 30 million or so”, to set an example of a big return on a small cost.

The onlookers would go, wow, Wangting Entertainment was really awesome!

The next time before shooting a film, release a piece of news, and people would look forward to it.

Isn’t it beautiful?

Wang Yan knew how to play the game well, and he was heading forward without looking back.
