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

Li Xiaofeng's words made Cao Jinpeng somewhat embarrassed. He didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't refute it either. After all, he had made a lot of money by investing in Wanzhong Media and speculating on real estate with Li Xiaofeng.

Just then, Jiang Chengye and Cui Zhongxian walked in from outside. They were both surprised to see Li Xiaofeng and Jiang Xueying there.

Jiang Chengye was surprised to see his sister there, while Cui Zhongxian was amazed by Jiang Xueying's charm.

At this time, Jiang Xueying was at the most charming age for a woman. In addition, Jiang Xueying was originally a stunning beauty of school beauty level. Under Li Xiaofeng's care, she went from being naive to mature, and was full of infinite charm for men.

"Sister, what brings you here?" Jiang Chengye spoke first, then gestured to Cui Zhongxian beside him and said, "Let me introduce you. This is General Manager Cui of Puyu Group. He is young, energetic, shrewd and capable."

Cui Zhongxian immediately seized the opportunity, extending his right hand, intending to take advantage of the situation under the guise of politeness.

"Hello, my name is Cui Zhongxian, Ms. Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Jiang Xueying ignored Cui Zhongxian's outstretched hand, simply nodded slightly, and said politely, "Hello!"

Then, she turned her gaze to her brother Jiang Chengye and said somewhat displeasedly, "Brother, I've discussed your investment in Puyu Real Estate with Xiaofeng, and he thinks it's a bad investment."

Jiang Chengye adjusted his glasses and said somewhat unhappily, "Xueying, what are you saying? I'm a grown man, capable of making my own investment decisions."

Besides, the Jiang family's business has grown larger and larger thanks to my efforts, which is something everyone can see. Why should I listen to other people's opinions?

Jiang Xueying was about to say something when Li Xiaofeng immediately stopped her, smiling as he said, "Xueying, really, I know you and your siblings have a good relationship, but you're acting like you're part of the family, meddling in everything!"

Brother Jiang is now a well-known successful person in Shanghai. He has now started to enter the real estate industry and his career is booming. He doesn't need you to give him advice.

Besides, my words were just my personal opinion; did you take them as an imperial edict?

As he spoke, Li Xiaofeng pulled Jiang Xueying into his arms, signaling her to stop talking.

Cui Zhongxian, who was standing to the side, asked curiously, "President Li, what did you say? I'd really like to hear it!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said casually, "Actually, it's nothing much, just some clichés about finance!"

"You are the chairman of the Li Group. You built such a large business from scratch. Your knowledge and experience must be extraordinary. I hope you will be willing to give me your guidance!" Cui Zhongxian's tone was very respectful and polite.

Li Xiaofeng looked at Jiang Xueying, who was pouting in his arms, and said with a smile, "I told Xueying that the development of real estate has cycles, and it is impossible to continue to develop at such a high speed indefinitely."

In my estimation, the real estate industry will peak in three or four years at most, and then it will continue to decline, entering a trough.

Upon hearing Li Xiaofeng's words, Cao Jinpeng, Jiang Chengye, and Cui Zhongxian burst into laughter, laughing so hard they were doubled over and couldn't straighten their backs.

Jiang Xueying looked at Li Xiaofeng, then at the group of people laughing heartily, feeling somewhat at a loss. Li Xiaofeng, however, maintained a smile and quietly enjoyed their exaggerated performance.

After the group seemed to have finished laughing, Cao Jinpeng spoke first: "Third brother, come on, aren't you speculating in real estate yourself? Isn't the core asset of the Li Group the large amount of real estate you own?"

You yourself made your fortune in real estate, and now you're predicting its downfall? If you're so pessimistic about real estate, why don't you sell all the properties under your name?

"Third brother, have you thought about this? You bought it from someone else, so you're basically a middleman, while I'm a developer, there's no middleman taking a cut. Who do you think gets a better deal?"

Li Xiaofeng just smiled and didn't say anything.

Jiang Chengye then continued, "China has over a billion people. Do you know how much demand there is? More importantly, China is currently accelerating its urbanization process. How much demand will that generate?"

"It will start to decline in three or four years. I think the real estate industry in China will continue for the next thirty or forty years. Once houses are built, that's money; they'll always sell."

After Jiang Chengye finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Li Xiaofeng, but Li Xiaofeng just smiled and gave Jiang Chengye a thumbs up.

"Why are you looking at me? Brother Jiang is an elite in the real estate industry. If you don't listen to him, do you want to listen to me? He's right, his words are well-founded and insightful, much better than my nonsensical talk."

Cui Zhongxian asked with some doubt, "President Li, what exactly do you mean by that? Although I am not as optimistic about the real estate industry as President Jiang, given the current upward trend in mainland real estate prices, it is certain that it will continue for another ten years or so."

Furthermore, the real estate market in mainland China is already deeply intertwined with banks and local government finances. Even if the real estate industry itself were to decline, your superiors would not allow it to.

If the real estate market truly begins to decline, it will be a precipitous collapse; the best example is the situation in our neighborhood. What will happen to banks? What will happen to local government finances?

"Yes, yes, you're right, you're all right. Don't look at me like that. I can speculate on houses, but I definitely can't run a real estate company."

Actually, my so-called Li Group is just a diversified company. We see which industry has potential, we dabble in it and make a little money. Essentially, I'm just a real estate speculator.

Jiang Chengye asked with some doubt, "Weren't you planning to enter the high-tech industry?"

"Who told you that?"

"Didn't you just buy my sister's drone company from her?"

"I think Xueying's drone company has been around for a long time and has a certain reputation in the market. It would be a pity to give it up like this."

Let's give it a try first and see what happens. If it doesn't work out, we can always find a way to sell the company!

Cui Zhongxian glanced at Jiang Xueying and asked politely, "President Li, have you considered cooperating with us? Let's work together to make money. I believe we can achieve even greater success."

"There's no need for cooperation. As long as Meiyi Media stops poaching our artists so aggressively, we at Dingdian just want to make some money honestly. We've never thought about cooperating with anyone, let alone competing with anyone."

Cui Zhongxian smiled but didn't say anything.
