I've been reborn, but you still think I'm a PUA?

If I were to talk about how I met Zhao Kang, I would have to start from half a year ago.

Qian Dong's hobby is stock trading. In addition to paying attention to the stock market, his favorite thing to do is to go to economic forums, pay attention to the prediction posts posted by some traders, and occasionally buy a stock according to the content of the prediction post to test the waters.

Of course, this approach will result in a loss nine times out of ten.

But he still refused to give up on this matter. After all, if he bought the right stocks, he would make a huge profit!

Finally one day, he saw Zhao Kang's post in the forum. The post fully predicted the increase in the price of a certain stock, and even specified the time and how many points the stock would increase. The post had detailed explanations.

As if by magic, he bought a stock mentioned in the post, and sold it two hours before the closing time according to the predicted time in the post. As soon as he sold it, the stock plummeted as predicted!

Because of this prediction post, Qian Dong’s stocks worth 10,000 yuan were hyped up to a value of 100,000 yuan.

I made ten times more money! Ten times!

Normally he was lucky enough not to lose money, let alone make money!

But now, he really made 100,000 yuan!

The joy of winning the bet made him pay more attention to Zhao Kang's posts and even contacted Zhao Kang.

After getting to know him for a while, Qian Dong learned that Zhao Kang was a top economics student who graduated from an Ivy League university abroad and was planning to return to China for development this year.

When Qian Dong heard the news that he was returning to China to develop his career, he was overjoyed.

Look, the day after Zhao Kang returned to China, he couldn't wait to ask his father to organize a group and introduce the person to his father's old friends.

Seeing other shareholders staring at Zhao Kang with interest, Lao Qian cleared his throat and said:

"For the sake of our long-standing brotherhood, I have good news for you today!"

"The higher-ups are planning to develop green energy. Besides supporting established companies, they're also looking to support several emerging energy companies. Two months ago, my friend Dongzi suggested I acquire shares in Guangda Energy. He even heard the news from the director himself. I'm short on cash, so I've only invested 70 million. I'm just wondering how much money you old friends have. If you're willing to donate, I'll definitely remember your kindness!"

Borrowing money is fake, but raising funds to buy stocks is real.

When the shareholders present heard this, their eyes lit up like wolves seeing meat bones.

This is a great opportunity to make money!

Old Qian is really loyal. He didn't forget about such a good thing.

The shareholders' eager eyes lingered between Zhao Kang, Qian Dong and Lao Qian, and they said in unison:

"Old Qian, is this true or false?"

"Are you sure it's Guangda Energy? You invested 70 million?"

"Dongzi, I've watched you grow up. Tell me, what did the director say to you?"

The atmosphere in the private room was boiling like hot water because of the arrival of Zhao Kang and Dongzi.

But Director Zhang remained calm as always, and looked at Zhao Kang with suspicion.

He doesn't believe a word about the so-called Ivy League universities and talents returning from studying abroad. Is Zhao Kang really that outstanding that he can become good friends with Dongzi, who became the secretary of the director through unconventional means?

In his opinion, Qian Dong and Zhao Kang are just two pieces of shit who look strong on the outside but are weak on the inside. They got together because they have similar tastes!

Director Zhang couldn't stand it any longer and slammed the table, saying, "Everyone, listen to me."

"This kind of thing is only reliable if official documents come down. Everyone needs to keep their eyes open. Otherwise, if the official document doesn't include Guangda Energy's name, wouldn't it be all in vain?"

His reminder was meant to be kind, but it was seen as a cold shower by others.

"Come on, Lao Zhang, if you really wait for the official document to come down, the opportunity will be gone!"

"If you don't vote yourself, don't stop us from voting!"

"Yes."

At this moment, Zhao Kang suddenly stood up, holding a glass of wine in his hand. "Harmony brings wealth. Calm down, everyone. Buying stocks always carries risks. It's right to be cautious, but as the saying goes, fortune is sought in danger, and opportunities only come to those who are prepared. Business is based on mutual consent. Some people prefer to avoid risks, while others are willing to take risks. This is all perfectly normal. Why argue over such trivial matters?"

Instead of resolving the issue, his "magnanimity" made the shareholders think that Mr. Zhang was narrow-minded.

Mr. Zhang has been in business for decades, how could he not see what Zhao Kang was thinking?

He stared at Lao Qian and sneered, "Lao Qian, I've figured out that the drinking party you organized today is because you're dissatisfied with Lao Xu and want to go it alone, right?"

Who doesn’t know that Lao Xu recently invested all his money in Hongyun Energy, which is a competitor of Guangda Energy?

It's not that you can't invest in Guangda Energy, but since it's an investment, you should invest openly. Organize a drinking party and invite all the shareholders of Jiaxing Film and Television, but don't invite Xu Haixing. What does this mean?

Over the years since Jiaxing Film and Television was established, Xu Haixing has had many opportunities to take back the shares scattered among the eight of them.

But Xu Haixing did not do so. Instead, he gave them corresponding dividends every year according to the contract they signed.

It has been the same for more than ten years!

If it were someone else, these shareholders would have either had their shares revoked long ago or been excluded from the shareholders' meeting.

People like Xu Haixing who remain true to their original aspirations are rare in the business world!

Mr. Zhang was very angry. He was angry that these people who had received Xu Haixing's kindness were completely ungrateful. They picked up the bowls to eat and put them down to curse!

Old Qian stood up from his seat with a bang: "You can't say that!"

"Boss Zhang, I tried to persuade Old Xu, but he refused to listen and insisted on having his own way. What can I do? Besides, I didn't force you to invest in Guangda. If you don't want to invest, you can leave. I won't stop you!"

Having said that, it is equivalent to ordering you to leave.

Director Zhang's face darkened, and he spoke with a suppressed expression, "We cannot work together if we do not share the same ideals. I've said everything I need to say. You can do whatever you want!"

After saying that, he put down his wine glass and left the private room with a heart full of anger.

Seeing him leave, Zhao Kang reached out his hand to keep him: "Mr. Zhang, please stay. We can talk it over..."

"Let him go and leave him alone."

But Lao Qian seemed determined and pulled Zhao Kang back.

Qian Dong also picked up his wine glass and patted Zhao Kang on the shoulder: "Let's drink our own."

As soon as the unsociable Mr. Zhang left, the atmosphere in the private room became lively again, with shareholders toasting each other with one glass after another.

Zhao Kang, who was being toasted, had a proud look in his eyes, and all the regrets about Director Zhang's departure were swept away.

Before returning to China, he asked Qian Dong a lot about Jiaxing Film and Television. After all, he wanted to take over this company, so how could he not know about it in advance?

Director Zhang is the most powerful of the eight small shareholders. If he can win over, then he will have another bargaining chip to swallow up the Xu family company. But now it seems that Director Zhang is not very knowledgeable...

The hustle and bustle in the private room had nothing to do with Mr. Zhang. After walking out of the restaurant, he became angrier and angrier, so he called Xu Haixing.
