What?
Ten million?
The entire venue erupted in an uproar!
Yet it was not over yet...
Zhu Zheng and Si Jiu stepped onto the stage and each took out a bank check!
Si Jiu: "As half of the Qin Family, I am giving a five million dowry!"
Zhu Zheng: "I am also putting up a five million dowry!"
Then next was...
Bai Lu, Wang Tao, Zhao Shanhe, Feng Lin, and others also successively took out checks ranging from hundreds of thousands to one million!
Soon!
The total amount of the checks accumulated to a terrifying figure:
Thirty million!
A full thirty million in dowry!!!
Gasps...
The crowd was in an uproar:
"Goodness... Qin Jiang, Zhu Zheng, and Wei Biao alone account for twenty million in dowry. Add the others, and that is nearly thirty million in dowry? You must be joking..."
"This is simply too outrageous... Compared to these youngsters, why do I feel like I am the one who has seen nothing of the world..."
"Thirty million... Can our family have this much working capital? They can just give it directly as a dowry..."
"And this is just a cousin... Tsk tsk... Is this what true high society is like... Outrageous..."
Their words were filled with shock:
Thirty million!
This number was far too impactful!
The year 2015!
How many people's lifetime salary was only one million! It would take thirty lifetimes to earn this much money.
You would need to win the lottery eight times!
It was a number countless ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of!
Let alone ordinary people: even though the guests present were all wealthy and noble, thirty million was still a terrifying figure to them. After all, this was just an ordinary prefecture-level city. Having a net worth of over 100 million already made someone a big boss-level entity, but a net worth of 100 million did not mean having 100 million in actual funds. The vast majority was in fixed assets and inventory. It could be said that among the entire hall of guests, those who could produce thirty million in working capital could be counted on one hand.
Yet now...
They saw these young people in their twenties right before their eyes directly take out thirty million as a dowry for Qin Qing.
How could it not shock them...
How could it not astonish them...
...
The Xu Family members also all dropped their jaws in shock:
The Xu Family!
They could also be considered a family locally: every household had at least ten million in assets, and Second Master Xu was at the forefront with a net worth of nearly 200 million. Yet even he might not be able to pull out thirty million in funds all at once.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Third Master Xu: "Goodness gracious! My entire family fortune is only thirty or forty million, his dowry is more impressive than my net worth."
Someone from the Xu Family: "Thirty million! Xiao Lang has really struck gold. Second Brother! Your son has married a golden mountain back..."
"Second Brother! With such a good daughter-in-law, you can enjoy your blessings in the future..."
"Second Brother..."
They successively congratulated their Second Brother. At this time, they had to draw closer to each other's relationship. At the same time, the Xu Family members could all feel the gazes of the entire hall of guests focused in the direction of their family.
Filled with envy!
Filled with jealousy!
Everyone knew that the Xu Family had struck gold by marrying Qin Qing...
No one thought these checks were fake or just for show! Thirty million was a huge sum to them, but to the big shots of the Black Dragon Group before them, it was just a drop in the bucket. The businesses these big shots ran were routinely calculated in the hundreds of billions...
It was said that just spending on land auctions this year exceeded 300 billion...
Over 300 billion, ah?
That was more than what they burned at ancestral graves...
...
Let alone the entire hall of guests and the Xu Family.
Even the Qin Family was incomparably shocked: they hadn't expected Qin Jiang and the others to give such a massive dowry. Compared to the dowry given by Qin Jiang's people, their own million-dollar dowry seemed a bit inadequate, and moreover, that million-dollar dowry was taken out by Qin He.
Among them, several Qin Family members had bitter expressions:
Tsk tsk...
They regretted it...
Why did they tell their younger generation not to hang out with Qin Jiang back then? How was it now? They were completely alienated...
Look at what Qin Qing did; she never alienated Qin Jiang since childhood and they maintained communication...
If their younger generation had some kind of relationship with Qin Jiang back then, could they also have had this much dowry in the future?
And that Qin He...
Without Qin Jiang's care, could his company have reached its current scale? How could his net worth be over 100 million!
Regrettably... everything was too late!
They knew that although their sons and daughters were theoretically Qin Jiang's direct relatives, it was impossible for them to receive Qin Qing's treatment.
They wouldn't even have a tenth of it!
Yet they dared not harbor the slightest dissatisfaction. They knew that whatever Qin Jiang gave them at this time was what counted. With the family ancestral hall, they were still members of the Qin Family! Qin Jiang would look after them to some extent, but if they dared to expect too much, it would only be counterproductive.
...
Therefore, even the Qin Family members looked toward the Xu Family direction with full envy.
...
At this moment.
Qin Qing looked at the thirty million check delivered into her hands: "No! I can't accept this, this is too much..."
Qin Jiang: "What is there that you can't accept? This is the confidence we are giving you. Don't say words of rejection."
Qin Qing: "But..."
Qin Jiang's expression hardened: "There is no 'but' about it.."
Qin Qing was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything more and could only hold the check, while the tears in her eyes kept streaming down...
"A Jiang, A Zheng, A Biao... You will always be my family, my closest family..."
Si Jiu: "We always have been..."
Zhu Zheng: "It's nothing..."
Bai Lu: "Just take it with peace of mind..."
...
The reason why they brought out so much dowry for Qin Qing was not only because Qin Qing was Qin Jiang's older sister, but also because of Qin Qing's own personal charm. The fact that she could fight her way up from the very bottom of the Black Dragon Group step by step purely through hard strength, making Wang Tao, Bai Lu, and the others look at her in a new light, meant her record was absolutely badass!
Combined with:
For them now, this sum of money wasn't anything much either...
After all:
Not only were they high-ranking executives of the Black Dragon Group drawing high salaries, but they were also shareholders of the Black Dragon Group. To incentivize upper management and lower-level employees, the Black Dragon Group distributed dividends to shareholders every year. Last year alone, the dividends amounted to nearly two billion, and high-ranking leaders like Wang Tao all received dividends of over ten million.
Plus the year before last...
And their current high annual salaries, taking out a million or two for Qin Qing really wasn't anything much. Especially for the upper management of the Black Dragon Group: compared to friendship, money was complete bullshit.
On one side.
Xu Lang had also wanted to follow suit and refuse, but seeing Qin Jiang like this, he could only nod in gratitude: "Thank you for your support, Chairman Qin!"
Qin Jiang patted him on the shoulder.
Subsequently.
He led Zhu Zheng, Si Jiu, and the others off the stage...
...
The banquet officially began...
Guests enjoyed themselves to the fullest amid laughter and cheers...
...
Just amidst the laughter and cheers in the banquet, a thunderous anti-gangland crackdown was taking place outside...
