You Are My Brother

That evening, Zhang Yang called Li Xingyu beforehand to ask about Xiao Du's invitation to meet.

"You know what he's up to, don't you?"

"Brother, Brother Zhang, he really didn't tell me the details, he just wanted to get to know you," Li Xingyu kept assuring him on the phone. "But I can roughly guess a little bit."

"Explain."

"Xiao Du has taken over a family company that mainly makes amusement park equipment. Your theme park project at the cinema..." Li Xingyu guessed for a moment, "It's most likely that it is."

"Which company?" Zhang Yang asked.

There are many companies in China that make amusement equipment, but only a few are well-known. With a project worth tens of billions, he has plenty of money and naturally only wants to cooperate with the top manufacturers.

Li Xingyu quickly gave his name.

"Brother, his company is quite well-known in the industry, and its strength is unquestionable," Li Xingyu said with a smile. "If it really comes down to asking you for a favor, you should consider it. Xiao Du is a very good person and capable. If you help him, given his personality, he might even open his heart to you."

"Okay, I got it." Zhang Yang hung up the phone and then casually asked someone to look up the company.

A moment later, the detailed information arrived.

Golden Bull Amusement Machinery Engineering Co., Ltd.., a subsidiary of Fengyuan Group's cultural tourism sector, mainly engages in the design, manufacturing, and installation of amusement equipment. Established for nearly twenty years, it has accumulated a considerable number of project cases.

Overall, this company is not small, but it's not top-tier either; it's certainly not the kind of top-tier supplier manufacturer capable of building Universal Disney.

However, there's no problem with their ability.

Regardless of what Xiao Du wanted from me, it wouldn't hurt to find out beforehand.

After this thorough understanding, Zhang Yang had a clear picture in mind.

The next morning, Zhang Yang woke up at COFCO Seaview No. 1 on the Huangpu River, and the first rays of sunlight in Pudong greeted him.

I haven't been back for several months, but everything at home is still the same.

Yes, besides Yinghai's home, this is also Zhang Yang's first home in a sense, so it has a very different meaning.

After getting up, I did my usual Tai Chi, took a shower, and ate the breakfast I made myself.

At a leisurely pace, around nine o'clock, Zhang Yang drove his Cullinan straight to the meeting place he had arranged with Du Xiaochen, a creative restaurant owned by Du herself.

Outside the creative restaurant.

Zhang Yang got out of the car, and Du Xiaochen came to greet him.

"Brother Zhang, welcome."

"You're too kind." Zhang Yang smiled and walked into the creative restaurant with Xiao Du.

The restaurant's overall style is Zen-inspired, with pavilions, terraces, bridges, and flowing water creating a rather pleasant atmosphere.

The most captivating sights, however, have to be the ladies dressed in traditional courtesan attire. Their looks may not be exceptional, but their poise and elegance perfectly complement the surroundings.

It's clear that this young Du has good taste.

Du Xiaochen led Zhang Yang to a tea room and personally served him tea and water.

Zhang Yang is a man who can be both down-to-earth and sophisticated.

Take, for example, this seemingly fresh and elegant environment. The girls serving tea on the side deliberately maintain a dignified image, and even Xiao Du's tea-brewing and pouring techniques seem to have been specially learned.

But Zhang Yang simply drank his tea casually.

He doesn't need to deliberately feign elegance; his every gesture exudes the refined and otherworldly charm of a gentleman amidst the mundane world.

The girl who had been deliberately arranged to be there stared at him, completely mesmerized. Even Xiao Du across from him felt instantly ashamed of himself.

"Brother Zhang, have some tea." That was all he could say dryly.

"Okay, I can do it myself." Zhang Yang tasted it and exchanged a few simple pleasantries.

A short while later.

"Alright, you've had your tea, so stop hiding your feelings," Zhang Yang said bluntly. "You might not know me, but I'm a very straightforward person and I like to get straight to the point."

Du Xiaochen glanced at the girl.

The girl next to him immediately got up and left, showing good judgment.

Zhang Yang also took another look.

"Brother, would you like me to arrange things for you? I haven't touched a single thing," Du Xiaochen immediately followed up.

"No, you should tell me what's going on," Zhang Yang said with a smile.

Xiao Du's question underestimated him. He's not some walking, talking sex machine; just because he likes someone over tea doesn't mean he has to sleep with them. That's too reckless!

"Brother Zhang, you can't hide my thoughts from me." Du Xiaochen smiled sheepishly. "I heard you have plans for a theme park at the Huaying Film and Television Base in Beijing. I've recently taken over a family amusement equipment company, and I was wondering if there's any opportunity..."

"You've got quite the appetite, haven't you? My theme park project is worth billions..." Zhang Yang laughed.

"No, no, I'd be more than content to have a sip of soup with you, Brother Zhang." Du Xiaochen quickly stood up to pour tea. "Brother, I've only just taken over this family company and I'm eager to make a name for myself, so I'm a bit impatient."

"Wanting to prove myself is nothing," Zhang Yang nodded, asking a couple of casual questions.

Du Xiaochen answered all her questions in great detail.

It sounds like Xiao Du, although he just took over, already has a thorough understanding of the company's operations, both inside and out; he's not just someone who does nothing.

"I'll think about it. By the way, how's your company's experience with Ferris wheels? What case studies do you have?" Zhang Yang suddenly asked.

Since Li Xingyu introduced him, he should give him some face. So, his plan was to give him a Ferris wheel project as a way to make friends.

"I wouldn't dare boast in front of Brother Zhang, but when it comes to Ferris wheels..." Du Xiaochen said with considerable confidence, "Our company might not be the top one in the country, but we're definitely among the top few."

Zhang Yang had done his research beforehand and knew that what he said wasn't untrue.

His theme park's Ferris wheel plan is at least to be comparable to the London Eye.

How tall is the London Eye? 135 meters tall.

The initial cost was over 70 million pounds, roughly 600 to 700 million.

Just then, there was a soft knock on the door.

"Come in," Du Xiaochen said.

A voice gently peeked out from outside the door. "Mr. Du, the car has been delivered to you."

"Okay!" Du Xiaochen nodded immediately, stood up, looked at Zhang Yang, and said sincerely, "Brother, I've prepared a small gift for you this time. Come and see it."

Zhang Yang blinked and also heard what the person had just said.

"Car?"

Are you going to send a car as a token of appreciation again?

"You, since you're a friend introduced by Li Xingyu, I'll definitely consider it. Why are you being so polite?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.

"Of course, it's mainly because I admire your character and want to be your friend," Du Xiaochen said.

The two exchanged polite words as they walked out of the restaurant together.

The restaurant is located right next to a hotel.

In the plaza in front of the hotel, a group of staff members were carefully working next to a trailer truck.

A crowd of people were standing around watching.

Zhang Yang and Du Xiaochen also stood aside, looking at the trailer in front of them.

The train carriages are now slowly opening.

When the carriage doors were fully opened, the true nature of the train inside was finally revealed.

Suddenly, a wave of shock and amazement swept through all directions.

"Holy crap!"

"This car is outrageous! What kind of car is this?"

"It looks like the Apollo EVO from the China International Import Expo. There are only ten of them in the world. The design is so cool and futuristic."

Supercars are not uncommon in Magic City.

However, a supercar with such an outrageously exaggerated and unbelievably cool design as the one in front of us is truly a rare find.

Only ten were ever made worldwide; it's incredibly difficult to even see one!

Zhang Yang was also quite surprised to see the supercar in front of him with its incredibly flamboyant design, which looked like something from outer space.

This is the very Apollo EVO he saw at the progress exhibition that day.

It's definitely that one.

There are only ten of them in the world, and the probability of finding two in Magic City at the same time is extremely low.

So, the buyer is Du Xiaochen?

"Brother Zhang, this is the car. I hope you like it." Du Xiaochen stepped forward with a smile and looked at Zhang Yang.

"You really are..." Zhang Yang was at a loss for words.

Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about the actual price of this car.

The price is three million US dollars, plus taxes and fees. Moreover, this car is a one-of-a-kind, with only ten in the world. Needless to say, the premium is even higher. Its exact value is simply incalculable.

Du Xiaochen actually gave it away without hesitation; she certainly has the guts and the means to do so.

Furthermore, even if Zhang Yang could disregard the car's value, he couldn't ignore the system's mission. Because of this car, he could complete his system mission.

This is something money can't buy.

Du Xiaochen was a huge help to him.

"Actually, I wouldn't have been able to get my hands on this car otherwise, but my family company has a partnership with the Hong Kong Island company that makes it, so I managed to intercept one," Du Xiaochen said from the side. "Perfect timing, I'll give it to Brother Zhang as a gift when we meet."

"That's not right. A gentleman doesn't take what others love," Zhang Yang sighed softly.

"I've thought it over. Only a dazzling god like you, Brother Zhang, is worthy of such a divine car." Du Xiaochen said with utmost seriousness, "Apollo and you are a match made in heaven."

Zhang Yang looked at Du Xiaochen, who was speaking the truth sincerely.

Yes, he's articulate, has a strong presence, and is ambitious and promising. Zhang Yang would certainly be willing to mentor such a young man.

"Alright, I won't stand on ceremony then." Zhang Yang nodded and accepted the gift with a smile.

Du Xiaochen was overjoyed.

"Brother Zhang, I'm glad you like it. I've taken care of all the formalities, and everything is here."

"Let's not talk about that now." Zhang Yang noticed the system notification that had just sounded in his mind.

Mission accomplished!

He not only obtained this super car, which is said to be above even the most powerful cars, but also received two rewards, one of which was a buff he had always dreamed of.

At this moment, he was in an extremely good mood.

As for Du Xiaochen's request to come over, he had already made up his mind.

"Brother Zhang..."

"Let's talk about serious business," Zhang Yang gestured.

"Brother! This way please!" Du Xiaochen's eyes lit up instantly.

A moment later, it was almost noon.

Du Xiaochen waved for the staff to serve the pre-arranged lunch, but no alcohol was served.

"Brother, you can try driving it later. We won't drink at noon, but we'll definitely do it next time." He stood up and poured Zhang Yang some flower tea.

"You've really thought of everything." Zhang Yang looked at the handsome young man who was personally busy with everything. "Alright, have a seat. Let's eat and chat."

"Yes!" Du Xiaochen nodded hurriedly.

"I'll leave the Ferris wheel to you, but..." Zhang Yang had a new idea.

"Brother Zhang, please speak." Du Xiaochen looked a little nervous, pretending to listen attentively.

"My original plan was to build it over 130 meters tall, like the London Eye, but now I don't think that's feasible." Zhang Yang shook his head. "Tell me, where is the tallest Ferris wheel in the world right now?"

"It's the Dubai Eye, 250 meters high, you can see the Persian Gulf..." Du Xiaochen's heart inexplicably raced.

He didn't know why either.

"I also want to build the world's number one landmark," Zhang Yang suddenly said with a smile.

The Dubai Eye, ranked number one in the world, cost a total of 1.8 billion.

It seems he's still somewhat limited. Since the system is going to reimburse him anyway, and he's going to build it anyway, why not build a world-class landmark?

Building the world's tallest skyscraper would be too conspicuous, wouldn't get approval, and wouldn't be covered by the system's reimbursement policy. However, a Ferris wheel over 250 meters tall wouldn't have so many restrictions, and it could also serve as a landmark to enhance the image of the entire film and television base.

Then we can call it the Huaying Eye, or even the Beijing Eye... Wouldn't that be incredibly prestigious?

Feeling Zhang Yang's smiling gaze upon her, Du Xiaochen felt a surge of heat well up inside her, her legs went weak, and she was about to kneel down.

"Elder brother!"

"Hey, what are you doing?" Zhang Yang grabbed him and pulled him up.

"Brother, you're like my own brother!" Du Xiaochen said emotionally, hugging Zhang Yang. "My sister always sides with outsiders and opposes me at every turn, but you, Brother Zhang, are so good to me. From now on, I'll listen to you!"

"That's an exaggeration," Zhang Yang said, amused. "Come on, calm down, let's talk about the details."

"Okay, okay, I lost my temper, bro." Du Xiaochen took a deep breath and rubbed her face hard, forcing herself to calm down.

After a moment, she regained her composure and sat down in front of Zhang Yang again.

"This is my idea. Can your company actually make it?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Absolutely no problem!" Du Xiaochen patted his chest and assured him, "I've also investigated the Dubai Eye. Our company is fully capable of handling the technology and scale. In fact, the cost can be reduced because the cabins of the Dubai Eye are too expensive and too luxurious."

"No need for that, we won't cut costs," Zhang Yang said with a shake of his head and a smile.

He considers everything except cost. His guiding principle is always the same: top-tier, always the best.

The cabins at the Dubai Eye reportedly cost hundreds of thousands of US dollars each, with an interior area of 30 square meters, accommodating up to 40 people. They are equipped with high-end air conditioning and can be customized to meet the needs of tourists for birthdays, proposals, weddings, business events, and more.

So naturally, his Ferris wheel couldn't lag behind either.

Not only must it be the tallest and largest in diameter, but each cabin must also be extremely luxurious. It should attract tourists in every way possible. Since it is a landmark, it should be a landmark that is perfect in every way.

"Brother!" Du Xiaochen's legs went weak again.
