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

Upon learning that Zhang Liang had no intention of investing in the group-buying website or even continuing his cooperation with him, Cui Zhongxian's expression turned somewhat grim, and Le Jiahao, who was standing next to him, also hesitated and changed his mind.

"Did he really say that?"

"Yes, that's what he said!"

"This guy is really short-sighted. No wonder, our Korea and your port area developed earlier, we know how real estate works, and we know that after making a quick buck, we should get out quickly."

But mainland businessmen haven't experienced the real estate downturn and don't understand how the real estate market works. They're making money comfortably now, but it's like being a frog in slowly boiling water—they'll all be ruined sooner or later.

Cui Zhongxian looked indignant, as if he were disappointed in his son.

"President Cui, I am actually quite optimistic about the prospects of the group buying project, but without the investment from the Zhang Group, the risks for both of us would be too great."

"Aren't you planning to vote either?"

"The main problem is that the risk is too great!"

"You people are so short-sighted and lack any sense of perspective!"

Although Le Jiahao is young, he is already the chairman of the Le Group and has his pride. He was definitely not happy to be talked about like that.

"President Cui, since you have such a broad vision and your Puyu Group is so strong, then Puyu Group can just invest on its own. After you achieve results, many people may be begging you to seek financing from them."

Le Jiahao's words were somewhat unexpected. He was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Even your mother wouldn't dare to talk to me like that. How dare you talk to me like that, little brat? Wait until you're truly in charge of the Le Group before you talk to me!"

"You... what do you mean I can't be in charge? I'm the sole heir of the Le family, the Le Group was originally mine, my mother is just helping me manage it!"

"Is that so, little brat? I'd like to see if your Le Group will ultimately invest in this project!" Cui Zhongxian's tone was tinged with disdain.

"I refuse to believe it. How can I, the chairman of the board, not be able to make decisions for the group?"

However, to Le Jiahao's dismay, the Le Group actually launched a group-buying investment plan in cooperation with the Puyu Group without his approval.

So he stormed up to his mother and yelled, "Mom, why did you invest in Puyu Group's group-buying project? I don't agree to this project!"

Cheng Wanyi smiled and said earnestly, "Jiahao, I heard about your situation from President Cui. You are still young and easily influenced by other people's opinions. Your mind is easily swayed. Please don't act impulsively!"

Le Jiahao retorted, "I wasn't influenced by other people's opinions. I just felt that this investment was too risky. Besides, why should we do the work for someone else?"

"You said you weren't influenced by others, but you clearly thought highly of this project. How come you changed your mind as soon as someone else said something?"

"Mainly because I think what Brother Liang said makes sense!"

There are countless truths in the world. If you think every truth you hear makes sense, it means you lack your own judgment. You might as well not listen to them at all!

Zhang Liang said there were risks, but what business doesn't involve risk? His family is in real estate, and he just felt that the real estate industry was relatively less risky. But the question is, is real estate truly risk-free?

Le Jiahao's strong sense of pride made him want to refute, but he didn't know how to refute, so he could only remain silent and listen attentively.

Cheng Wanyi smiled and continued in a serious tone, "As for your question about doing something for someone else, that's because you're still young and lack social experience, so you can't understand such a profound issue."

"What's so profound about this? Don't you think it's foolish of us to be doing all the work for someone else?"

"That's why I said you lack social experience and are too naive. How can there be anything in this world that is purely altruistic and selfless? It's all just an exchange of interests."

When you give something, it's not like you're doing someone else's work for them; you're hoping to gain something in return. If you feel like you've been taken advantage of and haven't achieved your expected goals, then it does feel like you've done someone else's work for them.

That doesn't mean what you did was wrong; it just means you lacked the ability and the means to make things go the way you expected. That's your fault, not someone else's.

"If I don't trade with others, won't I be taken advantage of?"

Cheng Wanyi shook her head and said earnestly, "In this society, if you want to get ahead, you can't avoid interacting with others. If you're afraid of losing, you'll never get anything."

Furthermore, don't assume that everyone is entitled to trade with others, and don't reject the idea of ​​being used by others. If someone is willing to trade with you and wants to use you, it means that you have value to be used by them.

People have two faces. When it comes to transactions, you can call it cooperation to put it nicely, or you can call it exploitation to put it bluntly. They sound like two different things, but they are actually the same thing.

If you truly want to mature, you must be able to make your own judgments about things.

"So you mean we should invest in Puyu Group's group-buying project?"

Cheng Wanyi shook her head again: "My judgment on this group purchase project of Puyu Group is not based on the project itself, or even on Cui Zhongxian, but on Puyu Group."

With Puyu Group as its backing, even if Cui Zhongxian is not very reliable, Puyu Group has reached such a large scale, which means it has sufficient human resources reserves.

Another important point is that Cui Zhongxian's approach was actually very cautious, because he was the second person to try something new, with the Li Group as a pioneer paving the way and the Puyu Group as a backer.

I believe that even if we can't surpass the Lee Group to become number one in the industry, securing a share of the market and becoming number two should still be no problem.

"However, if it's just the two of us investing, isn't our strength a bit insufficient, and the risk a bit too great!"

"Jiahao, you need to understand one thing: the biggest risk in doing business is not the amount of investment, but the project itself. If the project is unreliable, there will be risks no matter how much you invest."

In fact, the more projects you invest in, the greater the risk. When you encounter a good and reliable project, increasing your investment amount is the real way to reduce risk.

"Zhang Liang didn't want to invest, right? That's perfect, let's take over his investment and make even more money in the future!"
