by MarineTLChapter 371: I Want to Congratulate You!
“Yantai, why do I feel like Fei Ge’s decision is too hasty? Look, before he was shorting and bottom-fishing with Tesla wax, and now he’s targeting Middle Eastern oil, just because you casually mentioned it…”
Jiang Tiancheng snapped back to his senses after they could no longer see the large G, still in disbelief.
Hu Yantai was just as surprised.
However, he soon shook his head and let out a bitter smile.
“Fei Ge wouldn’t make such a move unless he was absolutely certain the US would take action in the Middle East! But this is still unbelievable. Even international analysts can’t say with certainty what will happen in the Middle East! After all, the US’s style of doing things is too unpredictable, and they change too much. But Fei Ge is going all-in with everything he’s got! This move really caught me off guard!”
“Do you think the US really will take action in the Middle East? Will the 60% increase really happen?”
Jiang Tiancheng was still confused about whether the US would provoke the conflict.
But as a businessman, his focus shifted to the potential changes in the oil market.
“I don’t know for sure, but I think a 60% rise is likely! After all, Middle Eastern oil is still very valuable! However, if Fei Ge’s analysis is correct, even if the US starts a conflict, they’ll likely pull back quickly, which means the duration of the rise will be short, and the price increase will be limited!” Hu Yantai said with confidence.
Jiang Tiancheng waved his hand dismissively.
“I don’t care how things develop! But since Fei Ge is all-in, I feel much more at ease! We’ll just invest!”
“How much are you planning to invest?” Hu Yantai asked, puzzled.
“Well… I have 10 billion left, so just like Fei Ge, I’ll go all-in!” Jiang Tiancheng said seriously.
“10 billion?”
Hu Yantai widened his eyes in surprise.
“Tiancheng, calm down! Even if the risk of the US conflict in the Middle East is low, if the US actually takes action, and they manipulate things, the price might not drop much!”
“Also, we’re not the only ones watching what the US and the Middle East do! The US definitely knows this, and many people want to join the market. Maybe the US will reverse things and profit off us instead!”
Jiang Tiancheng, however, didn’t care much.
“Look at you! You can doubt anyone, but you can’t doubt Fei Ge! Besides, we’ve done so many things with Fei Ge, why would we be scared of this? Impossible!”
After a pause, Jiang Tiancheng changed his tone and asked in confusion, “Forget about me—how much are you investing?”
Hu Yantai hesitated, then nervously said, “Well, since you’re investing 10 billion, I can’t invest less than you!”
He then added, more weakly, “I’ll also invest 10 billion!”
Immediately, Jiang Tiancheng teased, “Damn! You’re just the same! You talk so much and then do the same thing! Not to mention, Yantai, you’ve become so talkative lately!”
If this were before, Hu Yantai would’ve retorted.
But today, he was unusually silent.
Though he trusted Shen Fei just like Jiang Tiancheng did, if Jiang Tiancheng hadn’t been there today, even if he wanted to invest, he would’ve thought more rationally and definitely wouldn’t have put in so much!
Investing 10 billion alone had already shattered his usual calm.
“Fei Ge just said we should ask Lao Duan if he wants to join. You can give him a call later! I’m afraid if I get too excited, I’ll get my words mixed up and send the wrong message!” Jiang Tiancheng said, hands in his pockets, shrugging.
“Alright! I’ll take care of it!” Hu Yantai nodded slightly, looking in the direction where Shen Fei had left, his eyes becoming thoughtful.
He thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out why Shen Fei would risk all his funds on this Middle Eastern oil bet.
After all, Shen Fei had recently acquired a semiconductor company, and he was also collaborating with tech magnate Ji Jian. Just the investments in the semiconductor company and research institutes would cost billions each year!
Then there was the development of the Luohushan area, as well as the construction of villas and other follow-up projects—all requiring money. Even with their involvement, Shen Fei would still have to spend tens of billions.
Even more hidden from the public eye, Shen Fei recently became interested in a chip development project at the Shenzhen Research Institute. If they decide to cooperate, that would require tens or even hundreds of billions!
And this was just the areas he knew about.
If there were other projects involved, who knows how much more money would be needed!
Though Shen Fei had the “Scar Healer” business, a money-making machine, it still couldn’t meet the endless funding needs of all these areas.
In this situation, shouldn’t Shen Fei be saving his funds?
Why would he pull out all his money and invest it all in Middle Eastern oil?
After thinking for a while, Hu Yantai could only come up with one possible explanation for Shen Fei’s actions: the Middle Eastern oil prices would definitely rise by 60% during this conflict.
Otherwise, it was hard to explain Shen Fei’s move!
And for the first time, Hu Yantai felt a twinge of fear about Shen Fei’s abilities.
If international events unfolded exactly as Shen Fei predicted, his forecasting ability would be terrifying!
This also meant that the photolithography machine and chip projects Shen Fei had invested in would undoubtedly succeed.
These two projects, which could elevate China’s technology to the next level, were firmly under Shen Fei’s control…
For a moment, Hu Yantai felt a chill run down his spine.
But soon, he was overcome with excitement.
“Thankfully, thankfully! He’s an ally, not an enemy!”
His excitement was impossible to hide.
Jiang Tiancheng, however, gave him a disapproving look.
“What are you mumbling about? Come on, let’s go home, it’s getting late, and I need to rest!”
Without waiting for Hu Yantai to respond, Jiang Tiancheng walked off.
For the first time, Hu Yantai wasn’t upset by Jiang Tiancheng’s dismissal.
After considering his future interactions with Shen Fei, he put away his emotions and focused.
—
Meanwhile, on the road.
Shen Fei received a call from Qian Dasheng.
“Chairman Qian, it’s late. Why are you calling me now?” Shen Fei asked politely.
“Mr. Shen, I’ve been wanting to reach out! I didn’t want to disturb you, so I’m calling now,” Qian Dasheng replied with a smile, but his voice carried an undertone of exhaustion.
“Hmm, I see. So, what did you want to discuss? Are you thinking of selling land to me?” Shen Fei joked.
“Not quite! I’m calling to congratulate you!”
Qian Dasheng replied seriously.
Before Shen Fei could speak, he continued, “I’ve convinced Jiang Rou to join your Xin Yue Real Estate!”
“Then I’ll thank you on behalf of Xin Yue Real Estate! Don’t worry, Jiang Rou will receive special treatment at Xin Yue!” Shen Fei smiled.
However, Qian Dasheng suddenly said, “In that case, Mr. Shen, I guess you owe me a favor now?”
—————- END —————-
Chapter 372: Qian Dasheng’s Invitation!
Owing a Favor?
What does this mean?
Just because he convinced Jiang Rou to join Xinyue Real Estate, does that mean he owes Qian Dasheng a favor?
Such words…
Even if he didn’t want to recruit Jiang Rou now, in the future, when Qiankun Group reaches its breaking point, he could still hire Jiang Rou into his company!
Shen Fei couldn’t quite grasp Qian Dasheng’s intentions.
In the current situation, Qian Dasheng persuading Jiang Rou to join his company must be a way to associate himself with Shen Fei.
But after being rejected repeatedly, Qian Dasheng still hadn’t given up. How highly did he think of Shen Fei?
What kind of cooperation was Qian Dasheng so eager to pursue?
After all, Qian Dasheng was a recognized business genius across China, hailed as a legendary figure in the business world!
If someone like Qian Dasheng persuaded a hard-won general manager to move just to make Shen Fei owe him a favor, it would appear utterly baffling to outsiders.
And Jiang Rou, an elite in the real estate industry, jumping from Qiankun Group to the unknown Xinyue Real Estate?
If this news got out, it would surely cause a stir in the financial sector.
Speculation about Qiankun Group would also start flooding in.
Most people would assume that Qiankun Group’s real estate projects had run out of steam!
In recent days, speculation about Qiankun Group had already been mounting—especially when Qiankun Group began discount sales. The public understood what was happening.
As the government began to regulate the real estate market, the public kept their eyes on Qiankun Group, waiting to see its downfall.
At this moment, if news spread that Jiang Rou, Qiankun Group’s real estate project leader, had been poached, it would undoubtedly trigger a huge media storm.
Regardless, if this news reached the public, it would convey one message—that the real estate sector had no future, and Qiankun Group was preparing to exit the industry.
Whether or not Qiankun Group wanted such rumors, speculation about its real estate projects could not be stopped.
But what benefit did this have for Qiankun Group?
Shen Fei smacked his lips, and suddenly his eyes lit up as a thought struck him.
Qian Dasheng was trying to kill two birds with one stone!
Was the public backlash something Qian Dasheng wanted to see?
Of course not!
No matter how much Qian Dasheng wanted to win him over, Shen Fei would not allow Qiankun Group to be swept up in such chaos.
Jiang Rou leaving Qiankun Group for another company would certainly lead to speculation that Qiankun Group was withdrawing from the real estate sector.
If this were during a booming real estate market, Jiang Rou’s departure would deal a significant blow to Qiankun Group.
Because in the past few years, with Jiang Rou’s leadership, Qiankun Group had reached new heights in real estate.
But the reality was that the real estate market had entered a period of decline.
Jiang Rou’s departure would make everyone believe Qiankun Group’s focus was no longer on real estate.
If that were true, it would serve Qiankun Group’s hidden agenda.
In the public’s eyes, Qiankun Group’s withdrawal from real estate would mean shifting its focus to other areas—such as Qian Dasheng’s persistent focus on the automotive industry!
By leveraging this momentum, Qiankun Group could conduct a PR campaign, and with public opinion driving the narrative, its market value could rise, boosting its stock price and attracting further corporate interest and investment.
So, was Qian Dasheng trying to use him to change Qiankun Group’s current situation?
Once he realized this, Shen Fei relaxed and even teased:
“Chairman Qian, you’re really saying something here! So you let Jiang Rou leave just to make me owe you a favor?”
“President Shen, don’t put it like that! Jiang Rou is an elite among elites in Qiankun Group’s real estate sector! Qiankun Group’s achievements today are thanks to her contributions. But now that Jiang Rou has been persuaded to join your company, shouldn’t you owe me a favor?”
Without feeling embarrassed, Qian Dasheng smiled naturally.
“Chairman Qian, does it matter so much whether I owe you a favor or not?” Shen Fei teased back.
“President Shen, I recently visited Elder Jiang. Do you know what he said? He called you the ‘guiding light of the business world!’”
Even though some time had passed, Qian Dasheng still found this statement shocking whenever he recalled it.
“Chairman Qian, that’s just Elder Jiang being polite. Why take it seriously?” Shen Fei replied.
“President Shen, polite or not, everything you’ve done truly amazes me! You must know—no one has ever gained an advantage from me or Qiankun Group. But you did, and you made me look at you in a new light! So when Elder Jiang said that, I immediately understood.”
“Chairman Qian, thank you for your praise!” Shen Fei responded coolly.
Qian Dasheng paused and then said seriously:
“President Shen, are you free tomorrow? I’d like to invite you to a meal, and we’ll bring Jiang Rou along too.”
“Sure! Chairman Qian, just pick a place and send me the details!” Shen Fei agreed, hearing Qian Dasheng’s intentions.
“How about Shengzhu Restaurant? Let’s have breakfast together!” Qian Dasheng suggested.
Breakfast?
Shen Fei quickly declined. “Let’s make it lunch. I have something in the morning.”
He needed to handle transferring funds to Hu Yuantai quickly and finalize the crude oil deal.
“Alright, then lunch it is!”
The two exchanged further pleasantries before ending the call.
After hanging up, Shen Fei took a few deep breaths.
Qian Dasheng inviting him to lunch was clearly not just about Jiang Rou joining Xinyue Real Estate.
There must be another purpose.
Given Qiankun Group’s current predicament, struggling to stay afloat, it was unlikely that Qian Dasheng didn’t have other ideas.
Not long ago, when Jiang Rou called him, Qian Dasheng had undoubtedly been listening in!
It hadn’t been long, and Qian Dasheng had already reached out directly!
This confirmed Shen Fei’s suspicion that Qiankun Group’s situation was indeed dire.
Otherwise, why would Qian Dasheng act so humbly?
But what exactly did Qian Dasheng want from him?
Cooperating on land projects? That was already ruled out.
Did he want to collaborate on something else?
Shen Fei shook his head, dismissing those thoughts for now.
—
Back at his home in Yunhe Villa, Shen Jiayue had already been put to bed.
The sound of running water came from the master bathroom. Shen Fei paused and looked at the partially open door.
Pushing it gently, through the glass, he could see a graceful, curvy silhouette.
At that moment, an indescribable heat surged within him.
—————- END —————-
Chapter 373: Are You Digging a Hole for Me?
Looking at the hazy figure, Shen Fei didn’t think twice and directly took off his clothes.
“Huh? Honey! You’re back?” Han Xinyan was startled.
Shen Fei didn’t say a word, his gaze gentle like water, his hands caressing Han Xinyan’s hair.
The temperature rapidly rose, dopamine quickly surged, and soft moans could be heard.
“By the way, is the door locked?” Han Xinyan suddenly asked.
She still vividly remembered the time when Shen Jiayue heard noises and suddenly barged in.
“Don’t worry, it’s locked!” Shen Fei smiled slightly and slowly began exploring.
—
The next day.
When Shen Fei opened his eyes, Han Xinyan had already gone to work.
Thinking back on the gentle night, Shen Fei felt a wave of joy in his heart.
After a simple wash-up, Shen Fei began handling the transfer of funds to Hu Yuantai.
After a series of operations, the 31 billion had all been transferred.
The account was left with only a few million.
Even though managing the Middle East oil stock market wasn’t difficult for Shen Fei, considering the necessary procedures and paperwork, he decided it was better to leave it to Hu Yuantai.
Hmm, professionals should handle professional tasks!
After all the matters were settled, Shen Fei began to eat the breakfast that Han Xinyan had prepared for him.
His mind began to drift back to events about Middle Eastern oil from his past life.
Following the trajectory of his previous life, in a few days, the U.S. would stage an unexpected sneak attack.
During this attack, the Middle East would lose an officer, leading to a sudden surge in oil prices.
Immediately after, the Middle East would retaliate, pushing the oil price from 35 dollars to 56 dollars—a 60% increase!
This favorable situation led many to speculate whether oil prices might rise above 100 dollars.
However, just as everyone was waiting for this to unfold, the U.S. suddenly began to back off.
They quickly ended the conflict with some excuse.
The capital investors were in a panic.
All they had to do was wait six or seven days, and they could instantly reap tens of billions in assets.
With 31 billion and a 60% increase, in six days, they would make over 18 billion.
As Shen Fei pondered this, his phone rang.
It was a call from Qian Dasheng.
He had arrived at Shengzhu Restaurant.
Shen Fei exchanged a few pleasantries with Qian Dasheng and quickly left, driving to the restaurant.
When Shen Fei pushed the door open, Qian Dasheng and Jiang Rou immediately stood up and greeted him.
“Mr. Shen!”
“President Shen!”
Seeing this, Shen Fei smiled politely.
“Sorry I’m late! There was traffic on the road!”
“Mr. Shen, no need for apologies! Please, sit down, sit down!” Qian Dasheng quickly walked over to Shen Fei, smiling as he guided him to the table.
“Mr. Shen, please take a look at the menu. I’m afraid if I order, it won’t suit your tastes! Haha, now that you’re here, it’ll be easy!” Qian Dasheng said familiarly.
However, this behavior left Shen Fei quite surprised.
After all, with Qian Dasheng’s status and age, there was no need for him to act like this with Shen Fei.
“Mr. Qian, thank you for your kindness. You can order whatever you like!” Shen Fei said calmly.
“Alright! Then let Jiang Rou handle it! Let her order! Haha!” Qian Dasheng continued laughing.
“Sure!” Shen Fei nodded slightly.
Jiang Rou took the menu and looked at Shen Fei.
“President Shen, is there any ingredient you don’t like?”
“No, just go ahead, General Manager Jiang!” Shen Fei replied.
“Great! Then I’ll get started!” Jiang Rou smiled slightly and began ordering.
Once Jiang Rou finished ordering, Shen Fei finally asked, “General Manager Jiang, did you come to Xinyue Real Estate because you really wanted to?”
This question was blunt and sharp!
Jiang Rou was stunned when she heard it.
She then smiled slightly and looked at Shen Fei.
“President Shen, are you trying to dig a hole for me?”
“Honestly speaking, even though I wasn’t involved at the beginning with Qian Kun Group, once Mr. Qian spent a lot of money to bring me in, I’ve been with Qian Kun for six years! Over these six years, I took the real estate sector of Qian Kun Group from tens of billions to over a thousand billion! That’s my glory! I wanted to continue shining, but I couldn’t overcome the national policy changes and the shift in Qian Kun Group’s focus…”
“President Shen, if it weren’t for your invitation, I would have stayed at Qian Kun Group! But after Mr. Qian found out, he directly started persuading me to switch to Xinyue Real Estate… and I, having been in real estate for over ten years, can’t just give up my value in this field. So, I trust President Shen’s Xinyue Real Estate, and I trust my own ability!”
However, after hearing this, Shen Fei’s expression turned playful.
“Are you saying that if it weren’t for Mr. Qian’s persuasion, you wouldn’t have come to Xinyue Real Estate?”
Seeing the playful expression in Shen Fei’s eyes, Jiang Rou didn’t get angry; instead, she laughed.
“President Shen, I can’t lie to you, and it’s indeed true! I’ve been with Qian Kun for six years, and even though I brought Qian Kun Real Estate to this height, I can’t just leave so easily! That’s my badge of honor! Even though Qian Kun Real Estate no longer shines as it once did!”
After a pause, as if realizing she had misspoken, Jiang Rou added, “But President Shen, even though I say this, I still have basic professional ethics! If there’s a conflict between Xinyue Real Estate and Qian Kun Real Estate after I join, I’ll unhesitatingly choose Xinyue Real Estate and do my best to protect it!”
Shen Fei, hearing this, glanced at Qian Dasheng.
“Mr. Jiang, don’t you think Mr. Qian might hold a grudge hearing this from you in front of him?”
“Mr. Shen, you overestimate me! A good horse may be in the wrong environment, but that doesn’t mean the potential won’t be different! With the current national policies, the real estate sector is bleak, and Qian Kun Real Estate has been greatly affected. The playing field has shrunk! But Xinyue Real Estate is different because you, Mr. Shen, are leading it! I believe that after Jiang Rou joins, she will bring her excellent abilities to Xinyue Real Estate again!”
After speaking these polite words, Qian Dasheng self-deprecatingly said, “And Mr. Shen, if I were narrow-minded, how could I have founded Qian Kun Group?”
“You’re absolutely right, Mr. Qian!” Shen Fei said with a playful smile, raising his water glass.
“Let’s toast with tea instead of wine, and welcome General Manager Jiang to Xinyue Real Estate in advance!”
Hearing this, Jiang Rou quickly raised her glass.
“President Shen, you’re too kind! But I still have some work to hand over at Qian Kun Real Estate. It’ll take at least half a month, or maybe a month. What do you think?”
“No worries, Xinyue Real Estate can wait!” Shen Fei said.
The three of them clinked glasses.
Suddenly, Qian Dasheng changed the topic, gradually starting to probe Shen Fei.
“Mr. Shen, I hope you don’t mind me asking a question! The real estate sector is in such a bad state right now. What are your thoughts on this? Why did you decide to enter the real estate sector at this time? And what are your future plans for development?”
—————- END —————-
Chapter 374: I Can’t Afford to Play This!
“Mr. Qian, you’ve asked this question several times already! If I don’t answer now, it would make me seem petty!” Shen Fei said with a playful tone.
This confusion probably wasn’t just in Mr. Qian’s mind, but many people outside must also be very curious about it. Shen Fei’s answer to this question wasn’t something he couldn’t share, and even if it spread, it wouldn’t matter.
Because the real estate market right now is in a state of extreme downturn!
Many companies are trying to quickly resolve their problems and make a fast exit.
So, Shen Fei spending a huge amount to acquire the ownership rights of Luohushan to build high-end villas wouldn’t attract imitators.
On the contrary, Shen Fei would probably attract a lot of mockery and criticism.
After all, in the current situation, this approach is almost inhumane!
Any normal person wouldn’t do this.
“Hahaha, Mr. Shen, you’re exaggerating! But I, Qian Dasheng, would like to hear the details!” Qian Dasheng laughed.
“Here’s the thing, Mr. Qian. My ultimate goal is very simple! I want that when anyone mentions high-end villa areas, the first thing that comes to their mind is Xinyue Real Estate! And as for my plan for Luohushan… including the 7 billion spent on acquiring the ownership, the total planning budget is around 30 billion!” Shen Fei said loudly.
This caused both Qian Dasheng and Jiang Rou to be extremely surprised.
Creating high-end villas that are known globally?
The budget alone is 30 billion?
This is simply unbelievable.
Especially Jiang Rou, a real estate elite. Upon hearing Shen Fei, she immediately started thinking in her mind.
Spending 7 billion to acquire the ownership of Luohushan meant that Xinyue Real Estate’s next moves would definitely not be simple.
However, the next step alone, just building high-end villas, would require over 20 billion!
Considering the size of Luohushan, it would accommodate at most 150 villas.
To break even, each villa would have to cost at least over 200 million.
…
Normally, China has many wealthy individuals, but who would be willing to spend over 100 million on a high-end villa?
Qian Dasheng’s eyes darkened as he asked in a deep voice, “Mr. Shen, do you think this plan is feasible? With a budget of 30 billion, how many villas can be built on the mountain? How much do you plan to sell each one for?”
Hearing this, Shen Fei slightly shook his head, smiling mysteriously.
“Mr. Qian, once everything is revealed, there’s no fun in it! Just wait a bit, and you’ll understand soon enough!”
Qian Dasheng gave Shen Fei a meaningful glance.
“Mr. Shen, with such a big move, aren’t you afraid that due to policies, you might not achieve your goals?”
“Mr. Qian, innovation is necessary! Especially in the current situation, why can’t I be the first to try? If I can’t achieve it, then so be it!” Shen Fei said loudly.
But Qian Dasheng fell silent.
To be honest, after hearing Shen Fei, he thought this person was crazy!
However, considering Shen Fei’s previous performances, he had an intuition that Shen Fei might actually pull it off.
After thinking for a while, a glimmer of hope rose in Qian Dasheng’s heart!
Just by investing 30 billion in the high-end villa project…
This was enough to prove that Shen Fei’s background wasn’t simple.
Or rather, the person behind Shen Fei is extraordinary!
Noticing the change in Qian Dasheng’s expression, Shen Fei’s eyes darkened slightly. He then directly said, “Mr. Qian, regarding Xinyue Real Estate, I can only say so much! Let’s move on and talk about the real reason you asked me to meet!”
Upon hearing this, Qian Dasheng put aside his speculations.
Before he could speak, Jiang Rou said, “Mr. Qian, Mr. Shen, I need to take a phone call. You two can continue talking.”
“Okay!”
Both Shen Fei and Qian Dasheng nodded.
After receiving their permission, Jiang Rou left the room.
Inside the private room, only Shen Fei and Qian Dasheng remained.
“Mr. Shen, how much do you know about Qiankun Group’s new energy vehicle project?” Qian Dasheng asked directly.
“Well, I know a little, but not much. What do you have in mind, Mr. Qian?” Shen Fei asked, confused.
“So, Mr. Shen, how do you see the future prospects of this project?” Qian Dasheng asked casually.
Shen Fei paused for a moment, then replied tactfully, “Mr. Qian, you’re flattering me! Looking at the current situation, new energy vehicles are definitely the future trend. The government is heavily supporting this sector, which has attracted a lot of attention! To be honest, who wouldn’t want to show early results and dominate the new energy vehicle market in China?”
“Mr. Shen, are you saying that in the future, the new energy vehicle market in China will be a battlefield with many competitors? But Qiankun Group won’t be able to stand out?” Qian Dasheng asked, feeling a bit uneasy.
“Not necessarily. The key is that my knowledge of this field isn’t that extensive! I’m just speaking based on my intuition! But how I view it doesn’t matter. The most important thing is how you, Mr. Qian, view this field!” Shen Fei smiled.
“And how do I view it? Of course, I have great confidence! Otherwise, why would I invest so much money?” Qian Dasheng said with deep emotion.
However, Shen Fei’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
Qian Dasheng’s words implied that he wasn’t going to let go of the new energy vehicle sector easily?
But thinking carefully, this made sense.
In his past life, Qian Dasheng had pursued the new energy vehicle sector relentlessly.
Even the highly promising Li Jia Zhuang Di Po construction project, which could have turned Qiankun Group’s fortunes around, had been swapped for funds to invest in the new energy field.
If that’s the case, it meant Qian Dasheng was deeply committed to the new energy vehicle field.
How could it be easy to change his mind in this life?
“Mr. Qian, since you’re so optimistic about the new energy vehicle sector, why ask for my opinion?” Shen Fei asked with a playful tone.
Qian Dasheng fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said, “Mr. Shen, you’ve only visited Qiankun Group a few times, yet you’ve been able to see the current situation and the problems it faces. That’s impressive! Indeed, Qiankun Group is barely holding on, and I want to use the new energy vehicle sector to change the company’s situation and create a miracle for Qiankun Group! Once successful, Qiankun Group will rise to a whole new level, with enormous potential!”
Upon hearing this, Shen Fei had no intention of continuing the conversation about this issue.
When someone is determined to take a big gamble, there’s nothing more to say!
“Mr. Qian, so you’re asking me here to collaborate with you in this field?” Shen Fei pointed out the intention.
“That’s what I’m thinking. But how do you see it, Mr. Shen?” Qian Dasheng asked seriously.
Shen Fei didn’t hesitate and replied directly, “Mr. Qian, my answer will probably disappoint you! I have no interest in the automobile sector at all! And as for me, Shen Fei, my abilities are limited. I can’t afford to play this game!”
It seemed like Qian Dasheng had already expected this result, and surprisingly, he didn’t seem shocked at all.
But for some reason, he suddenly felt a pang of disappointment.
Before Qian Dasheng could speak, Shen Fei smiled and said, “Mr. Qian, after all we’ve discussed, I’m really curious! You must have had someone investigate my past, right? With my background, I’ve come this far purely due to luck! So, what made you think I’d be a good partner for you? Or, how do you think I have the ability to collaborate with you?”
—————- END —————-
Chapter 375: Fate!
Regarding this, Shen Fei was truly puzzled.
He didn’t understand what exactly he had shown that made this business tycoon, Qian Dasheng, so intent on seeking cooperation with him.
Was it the Yuexin Series scar cream?
Or perhaps the six hundred million he spent to acquire a semiconductor company?
Or maybe it was the seventy billion he invested to acquire the rights to Luohushan?
No matter how he thought about it, Shen Fei didn’t believe that Qian Dasheng wanted to cooperate with him because of any of these reasons.
After all, even if Qian Dasheng’s Qian Kun Group was struggling, spending a few billion was nothing to him.
Furthermore, it seemed like Qian Dasheng had already decided to cooperate with him for some reason.
But what was it that Shen Fei had done to make Qian Dasheng look at him in such a way?
Although his bank account now had over 30 billion, when it came to capital, he was still far from the big leagues.
Moreover, he hadn’t invested in XinYue Technology or XinYue Real Estate yet.
So, given that there were already two bottomless pits in his investments, Shen Fei had no intention of considering the new energy vehicle sector.
Not to mention, he wasn’t even interested in that sector.
What puzzled Shen Fei even more was, with Qian Dasheng’s position and influence in the business world, if he needed capital, wouldn’t investors be lining up from here to Paris?
So why was Qian Dasheng so obsessed with working with him?
Shen Fei couldn’t help but feel that even though Qian Dasheng’s Qian Kun Group had given up on real estate, its assets were still impressive.
However, this time, Shen Fei was wrong.
Qian Kun Group was now heavily in debt. They couldn’t even get a bank loan, let alone satisfy their creditors who were knocking on their doors to reclaim their investments.
In such a dire situation, Qian Dasheng was trapped with no way out.
And Shen Fei’s suggestion of Qian Kun Group seeking new capital…
The old investors had already pulled out, and this news had surely spread in small circles.
In this situation, how could new capital be willing to invest in Qian Kun Group?
Qian Dasheng understood this well.
It was precisely because he was at a dead end that he turned to Shen Fei.
Instead of Shen Fei himself, Qian Dasheng was more interested in the person behind Shen Fei.
From the first time he learned about Shen Fei, he believed there must be an influential figure guiding him!
As Shen Fei’s story developed, this belief grew stronger.
Although he thought Shen Fei himself was extraordinary, he didn’t believe that someone who had so little just a short time ago could have transformed so quickly and reached such a position.
It was impossible!
Perhaps, it didn’t even exist.
But no matter what, Shen Fei, through his words and actions, had shown no interest in Qian Dasheng’s new energy vehicle project. He had even directly rejected the idea without a second thought.
The conditions Qian Dasheng had in mind, such as swapping the Li Family Zhuang land project for investment, were never even mentioned.
In just one second, Qian Dasheng suppressed the disappointment rising in his heart.
Having been in the business world for many years, he had long cultivated the habit of concealing his emotions.
So, even though he was unhappy with Shen Fei’s response, his face remained unchanged.
Upon hearing Shen Fei’s confusion, he simply smiled and didn’t answer the question directly.
“Mr. Shen, if you don’t want to cooperate with me in this field, that’s fine! Let’s just treat this meal as an early celebration for Jiang Rou!” Qian Dasheng said with a smile.
Seeing this, Shen Fei had to let go of his curiosity.
The topic was dropped, and soon after, Jiang Rou returned from her phone call.
Although Qian Dasheng didn’t directly state his intentions, Jiang Rou had an inkling of what they might be.
But seeing their expressions and the atmosphere in the room…
It was clear that the cooperation hadn’t worked out, and the meal was not as pleasant as expected.
Though they didn’t fall out, their smiles felt somewhat forced, and there was a palpable sense of distance.
After the meal, the three of them prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Shen Fei stopped and turned to Qian Dasheng with a smile.
“Mr. Qian, out of good intentions, I still want to remind you! The new energy vehicle sector, though it will be heavily promoted in the future, Qian Kun Group cannot afford it! It’s better to focus on the projects you already have!”
Qian Dasheng’s face stiffened, then he shook his head.
“Mr. Shen, I understand your good intentions, but I’ve already invested so much money. There’s no turning back! If I don’t keep pushing forward, how will I know that the future isn’t bright?”
Bright?
Qian Kun Group might have glimpsed the light.
But it was only for a moment before it all fell apart.
Even though Qian Kun Group did produce new energy vehicles, the frequent problems with the cars led to bad press and poor public reception.
Qian Dasheng’s persistence, which seemed admirable at the time, would soon become a joke.
A business genius, who ultimately faltered in this venture, would be remembered with regret decades later.
Had Qian Kun Group not gone all in, had Qian Dasheng not insisted on putting everything into the new energy vehicle sector, and instead focused on the Li Family Zhuang land project, Qian Kun Group may not have returned to its former glory, but it certainly wouldn’t have ended up bankrupt.
But there are no prophets in this world.
Even though Shen Fei gave Qian Dasheng one last piece of advice, Qian Dasheng chose to persist in his own way.
Though Qian Dasheng regarded Shen Fei as a genius, someone his father held in high esteem, he still wanted to follow his own dreams.
Perhaps, this was fate.
“If you wish to persist, Mr. Qian, then I wish you success!” Shen Fei said lightly.
“Thank you for your blessing, Mr. Shen!” Qian Dasheng smiled faintly.
After a brief pause, Shen Fei suddenly added.
“Mr. Qian, no matter what happens, everything discussed today will not be shared with anyone.”
“Mr. Shen, you’re too kind! A person trusted by Old Master Jiang must be trustworthy, so I’m not worried about that,” Qian Dasheng said casually.
Shen Fei nodded slightly and didn’t say anything more.
What Shen Fei didn’t know was that the moment he, Jiang Rou, and Qian Dasheng left the restaurant, they were photographed.
While Jiang Rou’s limited fame might not have attracted much attention, Shen Fei and Qian Dasheng were a different matter.
One was a business legend, a well-known tycoon in the business world.
The other was a rising star with a promising future.
Seeing the two of them together, appearing to chat and laugh, the public would inevitably find it a curious sight.
After parting with Qian Dasheng, Shen Fei drove to the construction site of the training base.
When he saw the construction area, he was stunned.
