Zhang Bin didn't know how much money Hawkes had.
However, from the rough exchanges, he seemed to be able to estimate that the couple's assets were at least no less than 20 billion US dollars.
But such a wealthy couple, judging from their exchange in the afternoon, looked very ordinary, just like a bunch of ordinary farm couples.
But when it comes to business, they seem to be shrewd capitalists.
They seem to know everything about making money and are familiar with everything.
As for the competition they were talking about, Zhang Bin found out in the afternoon that it turned out to be the so-called "Ironman" triathlon.
Marksmanship, swimming and horse racing.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Johnson was grabbed by Hawks just as he walked in from outside.
"Johnson, my old friend, it's been a long time since we last met, and I miss you a little."
Hawks couldn't help but pull Johnson to the back.
"Can I take a break?
Do you know how much business I talked about today?"
Johnson actually refused in his heart, but it didn't seem to have much effect.
Zhang Bin and Zhou Jingyu naturally followed to watch the excitement.
Half an hour later, in the three events, except for the swimming, which was slightly worse, Hawks was leading by a large margin in the other two events.
Bi walked up to Johnson with some pride and said with a smile: "Now you know how powerful my dad is."
Johnson said helplessly: "Come on, little brat, I'm too tired."
He was answered with a gesture of disdain.
In the evening, a small celebration party was held at the manor, and all Harlan's guests were present.
Zhang Bin and Zhou Jingyu, Johnson and the Hawkes family.
In Kerry's words, anyone who can stay in Harlan's house is a very distinguished guest.
There are dozens of large and small wineries in the entire Napa Valley, but there are only a few top wineries.
Guests who can stay in these wineries can have a seat at tomorrow night's auction.
Zhang Bin felt very honored.
If he hadn't accidentally obtained the 20% of the shares, he probably wouldn't have received this treatment.
Any gap always arises from comparison.
Not to mention Hawks, even Johnson himself felt that he was inferior.
So he has decided that when this overseas trip is over, he will sign up for some advanced training courses and, most importantly, improve his English.
Throughout the dinner, Zhang Bin, Zhou Jingyu, Bi and his mother were together, oh, and there was also a dog, Jane.
They chatted about some things in life, their cultural differences, and their life as a couple.
It seemed that there was nothing they couldn't talk about.
Speaking of bi, Anna's face was full of tenderness, but her eyes were full of guilt, because she felt that it was her couple who made the child like this.
Anna told Zhang Bin and Zhang Bin that she and Hawkes were actually closely married, and Hawkes was her cousin, her biological cousin.
Bi's albinos cannot see the light because they cannot be exposed to ultraviolet rays.
Unless they wear a black hood, they stay at home most of the time.
They lack communication with peers and lack of social care, resulting in a weird temperament and unstable moods.
But for the Hawkes, their son's survival is the greatest gift.
At night, lying on the bed, Zhou Jingyu seemed to feel a hint of depression in Zhang Bin's mood.
"What's wrong with you tonight?
You seem to be in a low mood."
Zhou Jingyu asked.
"Do you think I'm too young?"
Zhang Bin asked.
"What do you mean?"
Zhou Jingyu didn't understand.

"Although Hawks and the others are very polite to me on the surface, I can feel that in their eyes, I am still just a child," Zhang Bin said with some melancholy.
Zhou Jingyu burst out laughing, patted Zhang Bin's hand and said, "Are you praising yourself or saying that he is too old?"
"Don't you understand what I mean?
They still look down upon me."
Zhang Bin turned his head and looked at Zhou Jingyu and said.
Zhou Jingyu pursed her lips and lay on Zhang Bin's chest, drawing circles with her fingers on his lower abdomen, and said after a while: "Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
"In their eyes, you are a child, but the fact is that you are just a child.
You are only eighteen years old this year.
What are other eighteen-year-old children doing?
What are you doing?
You are not happy to be treated like this.
The feeling of being underestimated is because you are praised too highly by everyone in China."
"You may be very capable, but to people like Hawkes, that's all.
To make them really think highly of you and even respect you from the bottom of their hearts, it's not just how much money you make, but what you have."
Maybe you think what I said is a bit harsh, but in fact, compared to them, you really have a lot to learn.”
"Binbin, your top priority now is not how much money to make or how many things to do, but to correct your mentality.
Just treat yourself as a child, a child who can make money and has some abilities.
Don't treat yourself like a child.
Putting yourself in such a high position, some things cannot be solved by you alone."
Zhou Jingyu suddenly stopped talking and fell silent.
"Is there more?"
Zhang Bin asked, stroking Zhou Jingyu's smooth back.
"You put too much pressure on yourself, and you also put too much expectations on yourself.
You don't want to disappoint yourself, and you don't want to disappoint the people around you, so you keep moving forward, for fear of failure.
You have the pride in your bones, no matter I am willing to bow my head easily, but there are some things that we might as well put down and take a look at.
If there are no interests involved, why not put ourselves in a straight position and enjoy it," Zhou Jingyu said.
"The most important thing is that you are still very young.
This is your greatest capital.
You still have a lot of time.
If you feel that you are underestimated, you can slowly enrich yourself.
One day, I believe you will stand up.
In your dream position."
"I must have been holding these words back for a long time," Zhang Bin asked.
"You have had these thoughts since you were involved in a public opinion incident some time ago.
The higher you stand and the more people follow you, the more dangerous you will be.
There is no way to change this," Zhou Jingyu said, "Actually, you Look at Uncle Hawks and Anna, although they are also very rich, they keep their work and life very separate, and they actually have the ability to downplay themselves as much as possible."
I don’t know when, Zhang Bin fell asleep.
Zhou Jingyu lay next to him, covered him with a quilt, and then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The next morning, Zhang Bin and Zhou Jingyu went downstairs in high spirits.
Hawks was teaching Bi to do some simple exercises in the yard, and Anna was watching with a satisfied smile on her face.
Bi's body is too weak and he needs to do some exercises to improve his physical fitness.
"Morning", Zhang Bin greeted them.
Compared to Zhang Bin, the Hawks family seems to have more chat topics with Zhou Jingyu.
Johnson also got up early and was swimming in the pool behind.
"So early" Johnson smiled and greeted Zhang Bin when he saw him getting up.

"Neither are you.
I'm going to see if Mr.
Harlan needs any help," Zhang Bin said with a smile.
In the restaurant, every day's meals are laid out and arranged by Mr.
Harlan himself.
He is always so attentive to his guests.
"Zhang, are you hungry so early?
I'm sorry.
Breakfast will be ready soon."
Harlan said apologetically when he saw Zhang Bin coming in.
Zhang Bin can only carry out some simple English conversations, and more complicated conversations require translation.
"No, I just wanted to see if anyone needs help," Zhang Bin said with a smile.
"What a nice young man.
Thank you.
If you have time, how about following me to the cellar to get some drinks?"
Harlan invited with a smile.
"I think I'd be happy to do this," Zhang Bin agreed with a smile
