Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

"Third brother, are you really that heartless? If you give them a hand, maybe they'll get back on their feet!" Cao Jinpeng seemed somewhat unwilling and still tried to pull at those irrelevant people.

Li Xiaofeng sneered, "Boss, why don't you go and help them out?"

"It's not that I don't want to help them, it's that I don't have the ability!"

"Come on, don't think I don't know why the second and fourth brothers joined the Qin Group in the first place. Wasn't it because they were in trouble that you kicked them when they were down!"

"How did you know?" Cao Jinpeng asked, his face full of astonishment.

"Don't concern yourself with how you know what I'm doing. Just tell me if what I said is true or not."

Cao Jinpeng remained silent.

"Boss Cao, don't say you can't help them. Wanzhong Media went public, and you made three or four hundred million from it. Give them one hundred million each, and they'll be set for life, right?"

After hearing Li Xiaofeng's suggestion, Cao Jinpeng smiled bitterly and said, "Third brother, what are you saying? How can you help people like this? To tell you the truth, second brother and fourth brother are really desperate."

"Don't try to morally blackmail me. I'm not a moral person. To be honest, if they came to me now, they'd probably just be looking for a job."

In my opinion, it's best if they stay obediently at the Qin Group. Coming here and complaining about everything, it might ruin our friendship.

"Third brother, for the sake of our classmates, could you give them another idea? The idea you gave fourth brother back then was actually quite brilliant, making it impossible for Wei Jianjun to do anything to the Cheng family!"

It's obvious that the Qin family is using them and then discarding them. Their meager shares in the Qin Group are like a mirage—visible but unattainable!

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said in a calm tone, "Boss Cao, they've come to the wrong person. The person they should be looking for right now is Wei Jianjun!"

"Why? Wei Jianjun and Qin Kai are in cahoots. What's the point of sending those two to find Wei Jianjun?"

"Haven't you heard the saying? There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies, only permanent interests!"

Don't forget, Wei Jianjun is also one of the shareholders of the Qin Group. Qin Kai is going to discard the second and fourth sons after they've served their purpose. Doesn't Wei Jianjun feel alarmed?

No matter how powerful Qin Kai is, he's still an outsider. If he wants to do anything dirty, he basically has to do it within the framework of the law.

"And they, along with Wei Jianjun, are all individuals with connections built up over two generations by several families. Don't tell me they don't have underhanded methods!"

Cao Jinpeng smiled bitterly again, saying with a helpless expression, "They have considered this point, but if they do that, everyone will be at odds, which will not benefit anyone!"

Upon hearing Cao Jinpeng's words, Li Xiaofeng understood that Cao Jinpeng's visit was not to ask for help, but rather to look for a better option while still employed.

Perhaps this is not just the opinion of the second and fourth sons, but also reflects some of Cao Jinpeng's own demands.

So Li Xiaofeng sneered and tentatively said, "That's because you all grew up in too good an environment. You don't know that there's a saying among ordinary people at the bottom of society: 'Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose.'"

I refuse to believe that if they're willing to go all out, will that Qin guy still dare to be so arrogant?

Cao Jinpeng sighed and said helplessly, "But the Qin Group has already invested all its funds in real estate and simply doesn't have the funds to ask them to withdraw their shares. If things get so tense now, it won't do them any good either!"

Sure enough, it wasn't that Lü Zhendong and Cheng Zhiyuan couldn't withdraw their shares, but rather that they not only wanted to withdraw unscathed, but also wanted to make money.

"Since you've already thought of these issues, what's the point of telling me all this now? Do you want me to talk to that Qin guy? Or do you want me to get involved in their mess?" Li Xiaofeng's tone was already quite impolite.

Sensing Li Xiaofeng's unfriendly tone, Cao Jinpeng said somewhat embarrassedly, "Third brother, don't be angry. Actually, I've already told them. They just want you to help them get out of the Qin Group!"

"I have no choice but to let them stay there obediently for two years. Once the Qin Group's project is completed and they have working capital, we'll figure out a way to withdraw their shares from the Qin Group!"

However, I think they shouldn't withdraw their shares from the Qin Group; they should just stay there obediently!

"Why!"

"The real estate market has been doing well these past two years, and the Qin Group's development trend is sure to be booming. In the future, the Qin Group will definitely continue to raise funds, and then they can take the opportunity to transfer their shares."

Besides, what can they do with that little money they have? Continue to run small businesses to support their families?

Although they have lost the initiative, they don't have to worry about it all the time. As long as you change your perspective, it's equivalent to retiring more than 30 years early. Isn't this kind of life of making money while lying down appealing?

Now that the rule of law in our country is becoming more and more sound, as long as they keep their eyes wide open, it won't be so easy for someone surnamed Qin to transfer benefits or assets.

Furthermore, there are many industries upstream and downstream in the real estate sector. You can also rely on the Qin Group to take out some small projects to do yourself, just like the exterior wall coating projects we did before.

"If the Qin Group grows larger in the future, these projects will be quite profitable."

Cao Jinpeng seemed to want to say something, but looked like he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Li Xiaofeng understood that Cao Jinpeng and his two older brothers were envious of the big money he had made in the past two years and wanted to partner with him to make big money, looking down on the small amounts of money they were making on the side.

But why should Li Xiaofeng partner with them? What additional benefits would he get from partnering with them?

In the eyes of ordinary people, investors are all very powerful; they think, "I give you money, so I'm the boss."

In fact, that's not necessarily true.

When a company is still unknown, it is indeed difficult to raise funds. But once a company has achieved results and gained recognition and trust from others, investors will be begging the company to invest.

For example, in a certain region in my previous life, when he needed to raise funds, the shares were put up for auction, and the highest bidder won.

For example, Xiaomi's two largest investment institutions are the largest venture capital firms in foreign countries. The connections of these institutions can help Xiaomi obtain the first launch rights of advanced foreign chips.

For example, JD.com, an e-commerce platform, received investment from Tencent because Tencent has traffic. By opening a traffic portal for JD.com, it can take off directly.
