Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list novel Chapter 630

Chapter 630: 628, let the big cat meow?

"Someone actually requested to withdraw their investment?"

Chen Hong was quite surprised when he learned this news.

Originally, I thought Luofeng would use the same tactics against me as he did against Tianhong, Chen Hong mused. But the result is Luofeng directly going for a dimensionality reduction strike? Fengshun Investment Company’s profit-making ability is indeed incredible; even though it was only established a short time ago, their performance has been very impressive. But they did bite the dust with the gold investment recently, didn’t they? Could it be that this business with Tianhong showed everyone once again that Fengshun Investment is capable? The key must be that Luofeng secured one hundred million US dollars in capital from Siam this time? This move also made everyone finally realize that Luofeng’s industrial distribution in Siam is quite strong; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to easily secure one hundred million US dollars in funding. Is Fengshun Investment in the country just one of his many enterprises? With these two things combined, everyone believes in Luofeng again, don’t they?

The previously assertive Chen Hong now began to panic. He silently calculated that the amount of capital being withdrawn this time could very well exceed 10 billion, possibly even more.

If Shengyuan Group needed to cash out 10 billion in a short period, that would be an incredibly tough task. Quick cash-outs mean losses. After all, it’s like selling a house; the price is set. It’s possible that those in urgent need or naïve individuals might offer a high price, but finding such people requires waiting. And if you want to sell quickly? It means you have to sell your house at a low price.

The situation with Shengyuan Group was different from Tianhong’s. Even though the Chen Family was also from Capital City, they couldn’t go against the wishes of those twenty-odd families in the Capital City circle.

「Late at night.」

Chen Hong was tallying the withdrawals.

A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses inside the Quadrangle asked, "Can we still hold on?"

"Dad..."

Chen Hong’s father, Chen Jun, was 50 years old. He was currently the Ministry of Household and the pillar of the Chen Family.

"How much capital is being withdrawn this time, and from whom?" inquired Chen Jun.

"So far, seven families have requested withdrawals, amounting to 5.3 billion. Our reserves are completely insufficient. They are..."

Soon, Chen Hong named the families involved.

"I estimate that even more people will want to withdraw their investments."

Chen Jun asked, "Son, do you have any strategies to counter this?"

"None at the moment. The opponent’s methods are quite formidable: a direct 10% annual interest with an additional 4% subsidy. Such benefits wouldn’t only attract others; they even make me eager," Chen Hong said. "This time, we might not be able to win."

Just as Dad said, so what if all external assets were withdrawn? We still have our own 10 billion in funds. With this capital, as long as I operate cautiously, we’ll be in an unbeatable position. After all, that’s our own 10 billion. If we don’t mess around, then truly, no one can touch us.

Who am I, Chen Hong? The favored son of the Capital City circle! Luofeng’s plan against Honda did indeed make money, but haven’t I also secretly organized the Shadow Group and raked in over 2 billion? Luofeng is indeed formidable, but I, Chen Hong, am not bad either. I simply don’t accept this.

Chen Jun inwardly sighed, hoping that this time Chen Hong would learn some lessons and eventually change his character. Chen Hong always thinks he’s the smartest one. But actually, the world is vast, like a large forest; it takes all sorts of people, including all kinds of masters. Don’t think you’re the most incredible or the smartest. You’re simply a product of your time. Your birth status, the circles you were born into, your initial position—these gave you everything you have now. None of this came from your own ability or intelligence; it was all bestowed by the heavens. Do you think Dad Ma, or Liu of the milk tea fame, were born to be tycoons? In fact, they also stumbled into their success somewhat unwittingly. Smart people exist at every level; in fact, the grassroots level has the most. So why haven’t they succeeded? Birth, social circles, and luck decide 89% of things. The remaining 11% isn’t much. Seriously, don’t think your achievements come solely from your own efforts. Believe me, everything is granted by the heavens; heroes are products of their times.

It’s a simple principle. Take a fellow villager, for instance. They might get seven or eight million in demolition compensation, while your family only gets one million. Keep in mind, even though they had more land, it would be worth three million at most. So why did they receive so much compensation? It’s not just because their father and grandfather were capable, having occupied more land and built larger houses in the past. Nor is it because they were skilled at pleasing the demolition officials. It’s because their family inherently has those connections.

Then they invest that money and make even more. Are they really smart? It’s because they have connections and can find out which investment projects are profitable. What about you? Even if you have the money, would you dare to invest? Who would introduce you to these investment projects? Who would give you the opportunity to understand them? How could you dare to invest without knowing anything?

Some say that family is very smart, but I think it’s just birth, social circles, and luck. Change their circumstances of birth, and they’d be nothing special. The circumstances of one’s birth are a butterfly effect; they can change many things.

Luofeng, naturally, did not know that Chen Hong was being lectured by his father at home. He was intently dealing with the Capital City Great Cat. Luofeng wanted Kitty to meow...
