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

In the president's office of the Le Group, Le Mengyao sat in the boss's chair, one hand supporting her head, seemingly having a headache, while Le Jiahao, sitting on the guest sofa, looked very displeased.

"Sister, I refuse to believe it! Our prestigious Le's Group can't even come up with this little bit of money? We have so many artists under our management who need to eat. What are we supposed to do?!"

Le Mengyao said with a helpless expression, "You know how tough it is to make money in the Hong Kong film and television industry these past two years. Every film we make loses money. The films and TV series we tried filming in mainland China didn't make much money either. No matter how big our assets are, we can't withstand such losses!"

"But our prestigious Le's Group, everyone knows we started out in film and entertainment. Now that we've switched to real estate, what will our competitors think of us? What will our artists think of us!"

"It's not that we're giving up on film and entertainment. Didn't I invest in a few nightclubs for you? The money earned from those nightclubs can help offset some of our losses."

Once this real estate project makes money, we'll have enough funds to revive the Le's Group's glory in the film and entertainment industry!

"Wait for the project to make money? Don't think I don't know. This project alone will take three years to complete. When will we ever break even? Three years? Won't that starve our artists to death?"

Besides, how can making money in film and television not be profitable? That guy surnamed Li and that woman named Fang Huiya are newcomers to the industry, so why are they making a fortune from their investments?

"How many people can compare to him? He started from scratch and in just a few years, he cashed out five or six billion yuan just by selling Wanzhong Media. He's incredibly lucky. The land we have was bought from him!"

Le Jiahao said dismissively, "You think he can buy you off with just a piece of land? I think he just doesn't want us to fully invest in the film and television industry and wants us to shift our development direction. That piece of land is just a bone he threw at you!"

"Jiahao, you don't know the cost of living until you're in charge of the household. Our Le's Group looks big, but it has been shrinking in the last two years."

Many businesses are not making money, or even losing money, especially the film and entertainment industry, which has suffered heavy losses in the past two years.

The film and television industry is our old profession, but the investment risk in this industry is very high. If the film or television drama we produce loses money, we may not even be able to recover our investment.

Therefore, investments in this sector must be made with caution, and can only be gradually accumulated after investment returns are seen, as they cannot bring sufficient profits to the group in the short term.

Regardless of Li Xiaofeng's motives, we have to accept every piece of land that's thrown our way from time to time. After all, in the current mainland real estate industry, as long as you can acquire land, you're guaranteed to make money!

Currently, everyone at the Le's Group, from senior management to employees, is very pessimistic about the group's future, and the turnover rate is very high. We must secure a stable income to boost the confidence of everyone in the group. Do you understand?

"But you should at least keep some money in reserve. What's the point of making your finances so tight?"

"In fact, I have left a lot of room for the group, but the opportunity came too suddenly, and I have to seize it tightly. Sometimes, doing business doesn't allow you to follow the rules step by step."

"What should we do with the artists under our management?"

"There's still some income from nightclubs, right? We can use that income to invest in a few low-budget films and TV series. Also, we should interact more with the mainland film and television industry and have those agents run more gigs in mainland China."

Le Jiahao looked displeased: "Sister, does our prestigious Le Group have to beg for food from those mainlanders?"

"Jiahao, put down your Hong Kong airs. In the past, our Hong Kong region's economy was developed because we had advantages in many aspects, such as timing, location, and people."

However, in the past two years, the development of the port area has stagnated or even declined, while the mainland has been developing rapidly. Take large cities like Shanghai as an example, they are almost catching up with the port area.

Why did we come to the mainland to develop our businesses? Wasn't it to find investment opportunities? To put it bluntly, we're just begging for food from those mainlanders!

Seeing Le Jiahao's nonchalant expression, Le Mengyao felt helpless and suddenly remembered something Li Xiaofeng had said to her before.

So she continued earnestly, "Jiahao, you need to understand one thing: in this world, it's impossible for everything to go as you wish, and you can't do whatever you want."

You've never experienced hardship growing up, so you don't know how difficult it is to accomplish something. Don't be impatient for quick results; take it slow!

"Can't we take some money from Brother Kai or Brother Luo first?" Le Jiahao was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

Le Mengyao couldn't help but shake her head: "Qin Kai's real estate project started earlier than ours, and his funds are even tighter."

The reason why Wei Jianjun and his group came out to partner up and start businesses was because Qin Kai poured all the money invested by the small shareholders into real estate, completely disregarding their well-being.

As for Luo Siqi, Gage Media has just gone public and acquired Wanzhong Media; the stock price is still rising. Selling shares now would be a huge loss!

Le Jiahao said defiantly, "If you really don't give me the money, I'll sell all of the group's shares in the nightclubs!"

Le Mengyao said nonchalantly, "Sure, you can sell those shares as long as the price is right, but who do you plan to sell them to? At this point, neither Cao Jinpeng nor Wei Jianjun has much money left!"

The main reason she partnered with Cao Jinpeng and others to invest in nightclubs was to provide for Le Jiahao. Selling these shares wouldn't have a significant impact on the group, but the playful Le Jiahao would definitely be reluctant to give them up.

Seeing that he couldn't get any money from his sister, Le Jiahao stormed off.

When he got into his Lamborghini, Liu Ying, who had been waiting in the passenger seat for a long time, hurriedly asked, "So, is your sister willing to pay?"

"Give me money my ass! The group's current funds are barely enough to complete that real estate project, let alone have any more money!"

"Oh, what about us artists?"

"What else can I do? Go beg for food from the mainlanders, of course. The group has no money right now, what can I do?"

"Hey, if you were the head of the company, it definitely wouldn't be like this!" Liu Ying couldn't help but complain. After saying that, she realized something was wrong and quickly stuck out her tongue apologetically.

In the past, Le Jiahao would have definitely scolded her for not respecting her older sister, but this time, he chose to remain silent.
