The name of this club is a bit gaudy, but the quality is very good.

Both the food and service are quite good.

After drinking two glasses of wine, the dishes were all served. Cheng Yu looked at the waiter, the girl who had just followed the manager out to greet them.

Girls are very sensible. When working as a waiter in a place where the per capita consumption can easily reach tens of thousands, the most important thing is to be able to understand the meaning of the guests' actions.

She immediately understood that Cheng Yu had something to say to Xiao Zhang, and it was not convenient for her to be present.

So, while Cheng Yu and Xiao Zhang were chatting, the waiter bowed to them and said, "Sorry to bother you, your food and drinks have been served. Do you have any other needs?"

Cheng Yu waved his hand and said, "No more."

"Then I won't disturb you two while you are dining. I will stand at the door. If you need anything, you can call me directly."

Cheng Yu nodded, and the waiter left the private room.

Xiao Zhang picked up a piece of fish, put it into his mouth slowly, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, do you have something to say to me?"

He couldn't help but feel a little strange. After all, he and Cheng Yu were not very close, but Wu Dong didn't have any other friends. Otherwise, even if the two were in a cooperative relationship, Xiao Zhang would not have rashly asked Cheng Yu to entertain him.

Since we are not familiar with each other, it is not time to say something to avoid people.

The waiter's departure obviously came from Cheng Yu's instruction.

Cheng Yu also smiled and took the initiative to raise his wine glass. The two touched it gently and each took a small sip.

"Don't worry, I just want to ask you something."

Xiao Zhang put down his wine glass and seemed not to be satisfied with Cheng Yu's explanation.

"Although I have had some dealings with some people in the entertainment industry, but gossip..."

Cheng Yu waved his hand and interrupted Xiao Zhang's words, saying: "You misunderstood, I have no interest in those celebrities, and I have no intention of caring about their private lives. What I want to ask is, do you know that there is something called the dark web in Europe?"

Xiaozhang was slightly startled and said, "Darknet?"

"have no idea?"

"I've heard a lot about it. Why are you interested in this thing? You don't have something you need help with, right?"

There was actually a hint of vigilance in his voice.

Cheng Yu waved his hand again and said: "You may not believe it, but I didn't know that the darknet thing actually existed until the day before yesterday. All along, I thought that this thing only appeared in some TV series in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

There, or maybe part of it. But the person who told me categorically said that the dark web does exist.”

Xiao Zhang shrugged and said: "There are always some shady transactions. For example, Americans will sell large quantities of arms, but this kind of transaction cannot be handed over to ocean-going cargo ships, and then exported to those countries according to normal customs entry and exit procedures.

In the hands of people who need it, right?”

"I thought so at first, but the person who told me about the existence of the dark web said that the function of the dark web is much more powerful than I imagined. He even said that as long as you have enough money, there is nothing on the dark web.

Things you can’t buy, including nuclear weapons..."

Xiaozhang waved his hand slightly and said with a smile: "This is a bit exaggerated, but the darknet is indeed not as simple as what I just said. Behind this is related to the British and Spanish royal families, and the origin of the darknet is also attributed to

These two countries were still in an era when the royal family was the real leader.”

"I know this, my friend also told me."

"Then what do you want to ask me about? Let me state in advance that I only know a few things about the dark web. Even hearsay may not be accurate. In front of the dark web, we are the same.

None of them have membership qualifications. Oh, you know that you need to be a member of the dark web before you can know its website address, and then publish transactions or choose transactions, right?"

Cheng Yu nodded: "I know this. But if you don't know much, forget it and just pretend I didn't ask. I thought you knew more than me."

Cheng Yu wanted to stop here. He could see that Xiao Zhang seemed to be quite taboo about the dark web and was not very willing to talk about this topic.

This is not surprising.

After all, the reason why Cheng Yu and Xiao Zhang seem so familiar is simply because they are similar and equal in terms of life background and other aspects.

The biggest difference between the two is probably that Xiao Zhang is almost ten years older than Cheng Yu.

As for a topic like the dark web, if you really know very little about it, it doesn't matter if it's just a topic for casual chat.

But if you know a lot of information, you will naturally be taboo about the dark web, and you will also be worried.

With all this in mind, who would want to talk about this with someone they don’t actually know much about?

Xiao Zhang nodded, picked up another piece of meat and put it in his mouth. After eating, he seemed to ask hesitantly: "But why are you asking the dark web for this thing? Your friend is also free, in our world

It’s so far away from the dark web that you don’t need to know anything about it.”

Cheng Yu also hesitated slightly, but still said: "I have a relative in my family who was in Europe not long ago, looking for friends in his family who may be members of the dark web, hoping to get enough recommendations so that he can join the dark web.

You also know that what exists in the dark web are transactions that are not visible to the public. My relative suddenly sent out such a strong message that he wanted to join the dark web, which makes people have to be on guard."

Xiaozhang understood it after thinking for a moment.

Cheng Guangnian is only a son like Cheng Yu, so it is natural that everyone takes it for granted that Cheng Yu will eventually take over the Cheng Group.

To put it bluntly, the Cheng Group belongs to Cheng Guangnian alone. Under normal circumstances, if he doesn't give it to his own son, who else can he give it to?

But even though Xiao Zhang's family did not have much interaction with the Cheng Group, let alone cooperation, Xiao Zhang's father and Cheng Guangnian had only met from afar on certain occasions, and there was no friendship between them. But this did not

It does not prevent some things between Cheng Guangnian and Cheng Yu from reaching Xiao Zhang's ears.

With assets reaching the level of Xiao Zhang's father and Cheng Guangnian, their circle is actually very small.

Even if people from different parts of the world never meet, all kinds of news will inevitably spread.

Now, after all, we are in an era where communications are overly developed.

Therefore, Xiao Zhang has also heard some news that seems to him to be nonsense, saying that Cheng Guangnian does not seem to want to hand over the Cheng Group to Cheng Yu, but may instead hand over the Cheng Group to the heirs of his two younger brothers.

Choose a successor.

This was obviously extremely ridiculous news. When Xiao Zhang heard this gossip for the first time, he completely scoffed at it.

But I can't stand people who keep spreading such news. It's human nature to gossip while chatting.

I heard it the wrong number of times, and everyone also thinks that there is no wind without fire, and there is no cause for the wind coming from nowhere. Of course, if you believe it, you still don't believe it, but you will be affected to some extent.

When Cheng Yu mentioned relatives, Xiao Zhang couldn't help but think about that.

"I heard that your father doesn't want you to return to China?"

Xiao Zhang tried his best to appear nonchalant, as if he was just asking a casual question.

Cheng Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I know what you want to ask. Indeed, there are some situations between my father and I that I don't quite understand.

He indeed acted as if he didn't want me to inherit the family business at all. I personally didn't care...

This is not to talk to you or pretend to be generous.

My father gave me start-up capital and a good education. I think it doesn't really matter whether the Cheng Group is inherited or not.

It is certainly not easy for me to reach the level of your and my father, but I already have billions of dollars in my hands.

Let me tell you something that you should have the deepest experience with. When the assets reach tens of digits, no matter how you increase them, it is really just a numerical concept.

As the number gets bigger, what is often added is not the gratifying wealth, but more troubles and responsibilities that cannot be given up..."

Xiao Zhang laughed and said, "You will easily get beaten if you say this."

Cheng Yu nodded and said seriously: "I know. But even if you live in the palace and fly airplanes when you come in and out, it will be difficult to spend all the money in your lifetime as long as you don't throw away money in the tens of digits.

Then the growth of wealth in the future, doesn’t it just mean numbers?”

Xiao Zhang nodded slightly and stopped arguing.

"I just say this to prove that I really don't mind who my father gives everything he gets in his life. Of course, I don't know exactly what he thinks. This is a very embarrassing situation. But often

This kind of thing is actually difficult for others to understand except for people like you."

Xiao Zhang laughed again and said: "I don't quite understand it. Fortunately, my father didn't behave like your father. At least in my family, no one is stupid enough to covet anything."

"You should have noticed that someone is coveting it, and it involves the dark web. I can't help but worry."

“I really don’t know much about the dark web.

Even if I tell you everything I know, I'm afraid it won't be of substantial help to you.

But, as you know, I studied in the UK, and the school was pretty good, so some of my alumni and classmates had family members who were members of the dark web.

Let me ask for you, and at least I can get some definite information, such as whether your relative hopes to become a member of the dark web, and if you are lucky, you may even be able to find out something about his purpose."

Cheng Yu picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you then."

"It's just a little effort."

"Speaking of which, our experiences before graduating from college are somewhat similar."

Xiao Zhang smiled and raised his glass, touched it with Cheng Yu again, and said, "How old are you from abroad?"

"Graduating from elementary school."

"Then you are better than me. I went abroad before I was in elementary school."

"Your mother didn't go to accompany you either?"

"How is that possible? How can a six-year-old child live abroad without a father or a mother? My mother stayed with me until I graduated from middle school before returning to China. They were relieved at the university."
