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

Liu Qianqian smiled and said irritably, "Look at the nonsense you're spouting. If you want to play it safe, why are you investing outside?"

"This is not contradictory. The industries within the group are our long-term development businesses, while the investments outside are purely for making money and will be recouped. Once we make money, we will bring it back to support the group."

Liu Qianqian retorted somewhat indignantly, "How do you know your investment will definitely make money? What if you lose money?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Of course, there are gains and losses in investing, but there are also skills involved. One is to follow the trend, and the other is to choose the right people."

Of course, sometimes luck plays a big role too. For example, I've always been very lucky; so far, none of my investments have lost money!

Liu Qianqian said dismissively, "With your level of capital, as long as you follow the trend, any investment is justified. As long as you keep pouring money in, you're bound to get results."

The domestic economic situation has been consistently good right now. As long as you don't act recklessly, it's very difficult to lose money. It's not a big deal!

"Hey, Qianqian, are you putting me down? I wasn't that rich back then either. I was basically starting from scratch, but I still made money from investments."

Besides, in the same environment, those rich kids in my dorm back then have all been left far behind by me.

"Hehe, who told you to have nothing to do all day but chase after girls? Look at Boss Lei, he only has one woman, and Brother Dong, he still doesn't have a woman!"

"Mr. Lei was born in the 1960s. His days of being dashing and debonair are over. At his age now, he's probably not up to the task anymore!"

As for Dong Ge, he's several years older than me. Just because he's not married doesn't mean he doesn't have women. How do you know he hasn't had affairs or eaten fast food?

Their marriage is a traditional one based on conventional thinking, but mine is different; mine is an open marriage!

"Pah, come on! What open marriage? In other countries, both men and women are open to each other. Yours is at most a semi-open marriage. You're allowed to be open, but we can't. This is called 'the magistrate is allowed to set fires while the common people are forbidden to light lamps'!"

Li Xiaofeng said with a grin, "There's nothing we can do. It's a matter of thousands of years of traditional thinking. Men and women live in different social realities. For men, being unfaithful is considered romantic, but for women, it's seen as an insult to men."

Women are often unhappy when their husbands cheat because they feel they've suffered a loss, while men are often unhappy when their wives cheat because it hurts their self-esteem and makes them feel ashamed in society.

"Tch, I think it's just because you're rich that you're right!" Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes at Li Xiaofeng.

Soon, the two arrived at the headquarters of Dongge Mall and met with Dongge.

At this time, Dongge Mall had already reached a certain scale and had received a lot of investment, but compared with Taobao, it was still a small fry.

But Taobao has already grown big and has powerful investors, so Li Xiaofeng no longer has the opportunity to get involved.

"Oh, Mr. Li, I didn't expect you to be so young. I've heard so much about you. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Dong Ge warmly shook Li Xiaofeng's hand.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "President Dong, you're quite young too. You're a very famous person in the industry, a household name!"

"Please come in, please come in!"

After Dong Ge welcomed Li Xiaofeng into his office, the two exchanged pleasantries before getting down to business.

"Mr. Li, as far as I know, although your group also has an investment company, it mainly invests internally. What made you decide to invest in our company?"

Dong Ge's words carried a slight hint of doubt, and his tone was very cautious.

However, this is normal.

Once a company reaches a certain level, the relationship between investors and financiers is often not just about money; it is often accompanied by resource sharing and strategic partnerships.

Why does Tencent's CEO, Jack Ma, invest in so many companies, and why do these companies, including those led by Richard Liu, welcome Tencent's investment?

The reason is simple: Tencent has traffic, especially from internet companies. As long as Tencent opens a traffic portal for them, these internet companies will take off.

In addition, the Li Group also operates a group-buying website. Although it is a different type of website, it is also a service platform for e-commerce sales, which has some business conflicts with JD.com.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said seriously, "If a company wants to grow, it cannot be complacent and work in isolation. It must go out and learn from the advanced business models and management experience of its peers."

Furthermore, I believe Dongge Mall is an excellent internet company with promising prospects, and it currently presents a very good investment opportunity!

"I heard that Mr. Li is going to start a group-buying website. Are you going to use a B2B model or a B2C model? Currently, most group-buying websites tend to use the B2B model."

B2B refers to transactions between businesses, while B2C refers to transactions between businesses and consumers.

Currently, Taobao and JD.com's e-commerce platforms both adopt the B2C model. If Lee's Group's Tesco also adopts the B2C transaction model, it may compete with JD.com.

If a competitor becomes a major shareholder of your company, it will definitely affect the company's future decisions and development direction.

Li Xiaofeng understood his concerns and said with a smile, "To be honest, our Li Group's Tesco.com also adopts a B2C transaction model."

However, my Lego.com will not be an e-commerce platform like yours or Taobao in the future, but a trading platform that combines online and offline services with group buying as its core.

"You're also planning to build your own logistics network?" Dong Ge asked, somewhat surprised.

After all, building its own logistics network is a core advantage for JD.com in competing with Taobao, but if others do the same, it will definitely create a strong competitive relationship with them.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and shook his head, saying seriously, "No, our offline services do not refer to logistics, but to same-city errand services."

Our Lego.com's core business currently focuses on local services, rather than direct connections between businesses and consumers, so it does not have a direct competitive relationship with your Dongge Mall.

Don't worry, as an investor, I wouldn't go out of my way to hand ammunition to my competitors, would I?

Dong Ge smiled and said, "Actually, some competition is fine. We welcome Mr. Li to invest here. In business, competition and cooperation coexist, which is normal."
