Chapter 462: Constantly Imitated, Never Surpassed!
The video “Lackey Beats Karate Champion” was rapidly gaining popularity on the So Cool video-sharing website. A report of the incident made by the New Lanxiang Vocational School was plastered on various main websites of the Heavenly State.
“Young Master Dali is once again preparing to burn money. This time, like the others, is going to be a large sum. He offered an annual salary of 200,000 yuan to hire professional teachers, providing one-to-one teaching as the educational method. This simply renders people astonished!”—Easy Net News.
“Young Master causes everyone to be taken aback every time. This time, I have complete admiration for him. At least a few billions spent per year on the salary of teachers. It’s simply unfathomable!”—Senior Critic, Xiao Junlang.
“Discussion on the squandering ways of Young Master Hong Dali!”—Wolf Search News.
…
“Old Ding, get up quickly and look up at God!” Sheng Wenshi exclaimed on the phone.
“What God, has sleep muddled your mind?” Ding Chengzhi replied impatiently. “During this period of time, Young Master has been maintaining a low profile. He hasn’t gone anywhere, so how can there be a God? Matters concerning others shouldn’t be of your concern. Let me sleep for a while more…”
“It’s Young Master.” Sheng Wenshi roared. “If you don’t get up now, you will definitely regret it!”
“What the f*ck, it really is Young Master?” Ding Chengzhi regained his senses at once and rolled out of bed. He exclaimed loudly, “What happened to Young Master again? Does he have a new idea on how to squander money again?”
“Obviously. Otherwise, why would I have called you!” Sheng Wenshi roared once again. “Young Master’s subordinate fought with someone again. The opponent this time was a three-time professional Karate Champion from Japan State! However, that is not a big deal. The important thing is that Young Master wishes to invest a few billion yuan annually in the New Lanxiang Vocational School to hire teachers!”
“It’s not a big deal that Young Master’s subordinate got into a fight?!” Ding Chengzhi’s mouth was agape. “Also, also, are you sure you didn’t hike up the price? A few billion to hire teachers?!”
Ding Chengzhi and Hong Dali had hung out together as friends for so long, was there anything he had not encountered before? He had self-proclaimed that his psychological state was pretty healthy, but every time he heard news about the Young Master, he would be unable to refrain from…
“Stop spouting nonsense and get dressed quickly. I will be waiting for you on the ground floor of the Hung Lung Hotel. We will talk over breakfast!” Sheng Wenshi hung up immediately.
Ten minutes later, at the Hung Lung Hotel.
This pair of good friends, Sheng Wenshi and Ding Chengzhi, sat facing each other at the table. Sheng Wenshi laughed as he ate his breakfast. “Indeed, Young Master is impressive. Who could have fathomed that a random female lackey could have defeated a three-time professional Karate Champion from the Japan State so thoroughly?”
“Yes, I didn’t dare to think that a random subordinate under Young Master’s command could be so capable!” After watching the video from the So Cool video-sharing website, Ding Chengzhi drank a mouthful of soy milk before laughing. “Instead, I am surprised by how much the Young Master is spending on the school. A one-to-one teaching method and an annual salary of 200,000 yuan. Even I am swayed to apply for it and go for the interview.”
“Yes, an annual salary of 200,000 yuan is generous indeed!” Sheng Wenshi sighed. “It’s just a pity that what I learned was not a specialized study of the excavator…”
“You can’t do anything about that. Yes, speaking of which, my childhood dream was to become a chef…” Ding Chengzhi felt a little upset. “What a pity, the opportunity was lost just like that. Hey, given Young Master’s generous spending this time, even if he can’t find enough teachers for the school, just finding half will cost him a few billion yuan per year in paying them their annual salary. I know that Young Master has always been lucky, but spending a few billion yuan yearly is not a small sum. Can he cover his cost?”
Among Heavenly State’s large schools, annual spending with the teachers’ salary of 20 to 30 million yuan was considered pretty high. However, Hong Dali directly created a job with a starting annual salary of a few billion dollars. Such large spending…
“Stop mulling over it. Young Master has always been unpredictable in all he does.” Sheng Wenshi shook his head and laughed. “It’s not like you aren’t aware of the fact that although many local firms are analyzing the secret to how Young Master acquires his wealth, none of them have been able to provide a proper analysis. Ultimately, they unanimously concluded that it was his luck that contributed to his great wealth. Heaven knows what will happen this time. Besides, I’m unable to guess it.”
What he said was accurate.
Besides, those who were able to start up a company were not fools. If Hong Dali succeeded once or twice, it would not be out of the ordinary and would not attract any attention to his success. Yet, he succeeded eight times, ten times, gathering people’s attention without a doubt. Of course, attention was attention. Being able to imitate him was a whole separate matter.
“Constantly imitated, never surpassed.” Ding Chengzhi sighed as well. “Young Master is very impressive in that aspect. I have complete admiration for him.”
“Others might be unaware.” Sheng Wenshi helplessly said, “Anyway, I almost went crazy…”
…
Tianjing City, West City Ministry of Education.
Minister Su Zhiqiang banged loudly on the meeting table and pointed at a few people in front of him before lashing out. “The few of you must have tremendous courage? All of you dare to delay the matter regarding Young Master Dali? Do you know what the superiors are saying? They told me that if we delay the approval process one more time, we will all be fired!”
“We… We also didn’t know…” Those being criticized shrunk in their chair in fear. “Previously, it was said to be New Lanxiang. I didn’t know that was Young Master Dali’s school…”
“What do you know! You only know how to eat all day, what else do you know?!” Su Zhiqiang took a few steps to stand in front of him before spitting all over his face. “New Lanxiang is the highlight for a section under the Sci-fi town! You don’t even know that, what else do you know?”
That person almost cried out of fear before asking softly, “Then… then what should we do…”
“What else can be done?” Su Zhiqiang roared loudly. “Go to the school now with a sincere attitude and efficiently settle matters there. Get there now, leave immediately!”
“Alright… alright…”
…
Tianjing City, in a residence among the top grade residential area of Hualin water body.
“Husband, our Dalin’s results can’t seem to improve. If this persists, it would be difficult to enter junior college, let alone any local undergraduate university.” A slightly chubby mother was speaking to her husband. “Although, if we spent a little money, I think it’s possible for us to send him to a better university. However, the problem lies with Dalin’s temper…”
Her husband sat on the sofa smoking. He nodded his head and said, “Yes, money is a small matter. The problem is that there isn’t a point in attending those universities. Since Dalin was young, he didn’t like learning but was superb in playing games. It would be a waste of time to send him to school. What use is there to send him to school just to earn a graduation certificate? But if we don’t send him, we need to let him learn something that he can put to use so that in the future, he will have a skill he can rely on in society.”
“Well, this is worrying. This is really…” Speaking till this juncture, the door to the room was opened. A boy of approximately 18 years walked in. He was their son—Dalin. “I have returned. What are both of you discussing?”
“We are obviously thinking about your issue,” said the father unhappily. “You scoundrel. Ever since you were young, you didn’t want to learn. Now that you are in your junior year, a year away from graduating, you have to think of your future, right? You can’t possibly fool around your whole life. Your mother and I may be able to provide for you for now, but we can’t provide for you for life. Why don’t you think about that yourself?”
“Oh, regarding that, it’s simple.” Dalin grinned broadly and said, “Young Master Dali’s New Lanxiang is pretty good. I watched the video today and they are currently recruiting. I want to give that a try.”
“New Lanxiang? What place is that?” The mother asked suspiciously. “It’s rare that you are taking the initiative to do something. Tell us about it quickly!”
“New Lanxiang, full name—New Lanxiang Vocational School. It was established by Young Master Dali near Tianjing Mountain.” Evidently, Dalin had done sufficient research on the matter. “The environment is guaranteed to be first-rate. I’m sure you’ve both heard of Young Master Dali’s squandering ways, right? This time it’s the same—one-to-one teaching. Actually, that’s not a big deal. The important thing is that among the specializations they offer, I am interested in automobile maintenance. I’m planning to learn it.”
“Automobile Maintenance?” The parents exchanged a glance. “Can you do it? A vocational school?”
“I definitely can succeed in something established by Young Master Dali!” said Dalin with an expectant face. “Isn’t there a saying? If you hang around Young Master Dali, you will be guaranteed to have good days ahead!”
“This…” The father gave it another thought and gritted his teeth. “Then give it a try tomorrow! Let’s see if they will accept you!”
…
Xinhai Weibo.
On Hong Dali’s official Weibo, a few people below were curious and asked, “Young Master, with such a high starting salary, the annual expenses would be worth a few billion. Surely you are worried about not receiving this money back?”
Then, Hong Dali found out about the matter and sent out a reply when he was bored: “Since I am wealthy, I have never bothered worrying about covering the cost whenever I spend on something.”
After this Weibo reply was released, it immediately received countless praises out of envy. Instantaneously, the network blew up.
Some Internet users began making up sentences below.
Ming Xiazhang: “Whenever I spend on something, I never worry about covering the cost since I don’t have any money to spend anyway.”
Overbearing Secretary, Tang Nana: “Whenever I eat, I never care about whether it will make me fat since I’m already this fat anyway.”
Three Sheep Girl, Zhao Weiwei: “Whenever I make friends, I never care about their intelligence quotient since I’m an honest person.”
Dou Dihang, Cool Hang: “Whenever I make friends, I never care about whether they are rich or not since they are all richer than me…”
Soon after, ever since this reply of the Young Master had blown up, countless people paid close attention to Hong Dali’s Weibo. Because everyone realized that Hong Dali actually frequently scrolled through Weibo.
Hence, very quickly, everyone found another source of entertainment—
The origin of the matter was that the cars used in the car accidents staged for automobile maintenance in New Lanxiang were not selling well, seeing as how accidents were not good events. Hence, Hong Dali complained on Weibo: “This automobile company renders people speechless. They determine the sales of their cars based on their use even though payment will be made. Upon hearing that they will be used to create car accidents, they decided not to sell them. This is depressing!”
Hence, Internet users began to follow up on this—
Natural Sprout Is the Real Sprout: “Young Master, use money to destroy their company to bankruptcy!”
Crazy Lady: “Young Master actually doesn’t have his own automobile production company? Buy one!”
New Xili: “Heavens, I just bought a car from the 4S store. I feel like I am at the peak of my life.”
Yanyan Wants to Eat Meat: “If Young Master wants to buy a car, buy mine. Coincidentally, I am preparing to change my car…”
Human sandbag: “Wholesale of top-grade cars. For details, please contact turkey at the number 8744…”
