Ye Fang knew that it was Ma Zhengping who was coming, so he told the others and hurried forward to greet him. To Ye Fang's surprise, Ma Zhengping got out of the car first and went to the other side to open the door. The identity of the person who allowed Ma Zhengping to open the door himself must be extraordinary. Soon Ye Fang saw Ma Zhengping helping a gray-haired old man get out of the car. It was Ma Zhengping's father, Ma Yongchang. Ma Yongchang got out of the car and He looked at Xiyuan without saying a word for a long time, seeming to be caught in some kind of memory.

"Godfather!" Ye Fang stepped forward and bowed humbly.

Ma Zhengping nodded and said to Ye Fang, "I've met grandpa."

Only then did Ye Fang realize that the old man in front of him was Ma Zhengping's father, Ma Yongchang. Ye Fang found a godfather and got a cheap grandfather.

"Hello grandpa!" Ye Fang said respectfully.

"Okay." Ma Yongchang said and slowly raised his left hand. Ye Fang quickly stepped forward to help Ma Yongchang.

Although Zhang Yunshan and Bi Xingfa standing at the door knew who Ma Zhengping was, this was their first time meeting Ma Yongchang. Seeing Ye Fang and Ma Zhengping together, everyone couldn't hide their shock. No one knew when Ye Fang had climbed onto the high branch of the Ma family. Among these people, only Wang Junhe knew what happened before and after the incident. Even Wang Kai, who was in the public security system, did not know what happened. Afterwards, Ye Fang learned that after the case, there was only a record of the arrest of the fugitive Wang Qiang, and there was no detailed account of the incident.

Ye Fang and Ma Zhengping helped Ma Yongchang towards the courtyard. People like Zhang Yunshan naturally made way for them. Ye Fang did not have a chance to introduce them. He just told Xiaozhuang to take care of these people. Xiaozhuang nodded. .

The news that Ma Yongchang came to Xiyuan spread quickly, almost as soon as Ma Yongchang got off the bus. The rich and powerful people in Beijing did not know why they invited Ma Yongchang, who had not been born for a long time, to attend the opening ceremony of a club. .

Soon, wealthy families from all over the capital sensed something different and took action. Although no invitations were sent out for the opening of Xiyuan, they did not say that they could not go in to eat. There was no invitation letter for such an occasion, and it was naturally inconvenient for the elders of the capital's wealthy families to attend. However, they all asked the juniors to go to Xiyuan to explore the market, and prepare some small gifts if necessary.

At the same time, everyone also told these juniors to keep a low profile. No one is allowed to cause trouble in Xiyuan. The Ma family's methods are not something that any family can afford.

As Ma Yongchang entered Xiyuan, there was a long queue of luxury cars at the entrance of Xiyuan, and there was an endless stream of people entering the garden. The receptionist at the door had no choice but to tell everyone that Xiyuan is a membership system, and non-members are not allowed to enter the park. The second and even third generations of these wealthy families usually carry tens of thousands in cash in their pockets. They wonder how much money a member of a club can have, and they all say that they can do it as long as members of the club have how much money they have.

Then when the receptionist reported the membership level of Xiyuan, all these noble gentlemen and ladies were dumbfounded. The minimum membership level of Xiyuan membership starts at 5 yuan, which is the price for three days of opening.

In the future, the minimum membership standard will start from 10 yuan per year, and you can only eat in Yuanheng and Yuanheng. With a standard of 20 yuan, you can eat and enjoy accommodation in Lizhen Liangyuan in the future. Only those with a level of 50 are eligible to enter the Qianyuan to eat. As for the super private rooms on the [-]st and [-]nd Tianzi of the Qianyuan, they must have an annual membership fee of more than [-] million to be eligible.

These wealthy young men took a sharp breath when they heard this membership standard. This was simply robbery, and it was an open robbery. In 99, the price of buying a building was only NT$30 to [-], but in Xiyuan, it was only enough for a year's membership fee, plus food and drinks. Count separately. However, when everyone was greeted at the entrance of Xiyuan and saw the beautiful photos inside Xiyuan, they felt that the money was well spent, so they immediately called their parents and sent cash to those who could send cash, and transferred money to those who could transfer money.

The young men of these rich men often compete with the ladies for their momentum. At this time, if someone says that the membership fee is too expensive and I can't afford it, they will probably be kicked out of the upper-class circles of the capital the next day. When the parents of these wealthy families heard that the entrance fee was hundreds of thousands or even millions, they all felt that it was a bit expensive. A state banquet only cost thousands. How could a Xiyuan dare to ask for a million-dollar entrance fee? .

At this time, the competition between the rich and powerful families is based on historical background and knowledge. The rich families who know the history of Xiyuan will directly apply for the most expensive million-level without a second thought, while those who don’t know the history of Xiyuan just want to join in the fun and get the news. Fifty thousand entry-level members were directly registered, and the entrance to Xiyuan was suddenly crowded with people paying membership fees.

From today onwards, these gentlemen and ladies have started to compete with each other for Xiyuan membership fees. Those who pay 20 are despised for paying 50, those who pay 20 are despised for [-], and those who pay a million-level membership fee become the eldest brothers and sisters among these gentlemen and ladies. level person.

Many years later, the lowest membership level in Xiyuan was one million. The rich second and third generations who had participated in the opening of Xiyuan members have also grown up rapidly. Everyone can't help but feel proud when talking about the huge sum of money spent that day. Become a magical experience worth bragging about to others.

The old men and women who passed by the entrance of Xiyuan once thought that eggs were given out for free during the opening, so they all wanted to join in the fun. When they heard that the entrance fee was tens of thousands, they all cursed and left.

Xiaozhuang never thought that Ma Yongchang's arrival would trigger a chain reaction. She immediately sent more people to do reception work at the door, ensuring the safety of cash payments on the one hand, and maintaining order on the other. At the same time, Xiaozhuang ordered The food preparations and drinks in the kitchen have been doubled, and the service staff in various positions have worked hard to do the reception work.

Soon, the cash in the Xiyuan Reception Center was as high as a hill, and the cash transfer was registered with Ye Fang’s mobile phone number, so soon after walking into Xiyuan, Ye Fang’s mobile phone text messages never stopped. Fang quickly turned off the text message reminder function and took a moment to take a look at the transfers, which were almost hundreds of thousands or millions. Ye Fang didn't know what was going on, so he could only ask Xiaozhuang when he had free time.

Soon those young men who only paid 5 yuan for the membership fee regretted it. They could only enter the Yuanheng Courtyard and the Heng Courtyard, and could not see Ma Yongchang in the Qian Courtyard at all. Naturally, they could not find out any news.

Later, Xiaozhuang was worried that there were more and more people, so he simply announced that customers with a membership level of 20 yuan before noon today can enter the Qianyuan to visit, but they have to eat in Yuanheng and Yuanheng. As for those with a membership level of 5 yuan, Members can only visit and eat at Yuanheng Hospital.
