Some things can't be helped even if you look back, but if you don't go public, people can still clean up your mess. Since that's the case, don't stand at the forefront; hide it as long as you can.

I don't want to become the subject of people's idle gossip and their entertainment.

With the return of the port city, not only have exchanges become closer, but business dealings have also become increasingly intertwined.

The first company to go public was a construction company, which, although not the manager, was also the earliest investor.

This listing ceremony, and even the celebration banquet, are all important events that cannot be missed.

"Chairman Li, we meet again!"

"Chairman Chen, it's been a long time."

"You two know each other?"

"know?"

"Since you know each other, you can chat amongst yourselves."

"Okay, you're busy! Let's talk privately."

"What has Chairman Li been busy with lately?"

"To be honest, Mr. Chen, we are looking for good projects to invest in, but recently we have found no suitable ones."

"Oh! I have a project here, I wonder if Chairman Li would be interested!"

"I wonder what project Chairman Chen is referring to!"

"hotel?"

"hotel!"

"Yes, a five-star hotel, what do you think!"

"I wonder which city Mr. Chen's hotel is located in."

"Mirage!"

"Hai City is indeed quite good. In recent years, Hai City's development has consistently outpaced that of Beijing. How about this: I'll consider it carefully and give you an answer later!"

"Okay, no problem!"

No wonder business people love attending various banquets. It's a great opportunity for networking. After a round of banquets, you not only get to know all the government officials, but you also get to know many rising stars in the business world.

Not to mention, there are quite a few projects that have been finalized! I don't know about others, but I have about ten projects in hand right now. It just depends on which one I like and which one has the most potential.

After leaving the banquet and returning home, I started thinking about these projects, and sure enough, three or four of them turned out to be the most profitable projects twenty years from now.

How could we not participate in these? However, we don't need to invest too many people; 30 to 50 million is still achievable.

As for the real estate projects I have, they're fine, but they need to be short-term, not long-term.

These film and television companies are also good options; you could invest in them. After all, they bring in money quickly, and investments now are low-cost, unlike in twenty or thirty years when they can easily involve hundreds of millions or even billions. So, things are not bad right now.

The most crucial point is that, even though the equipment isn't as good as it used to be, the films produced now are mostly classics, and they can earn a lot of money just by playing them on repeat.

However, it's best to have someone thoroughly investigate before investing any money, since some people still don't understand.

More importantly, we need to see if there are other investors behind this, and who these people belong to.

Since the country opened up, there have been quite a few spies! There are at least a dozen through our own side alone, so we have to take this step slowly and not get involved just because it's profitable.

Fortunately, there are security companies, so this kind of thing isn't difficult. If there are no problems, just wait for the other party to come and discuss the contract. If there are problems, just ask your superiors to see how to arrange things before making a decision.

"Chairman Li, this person's assets have questionable origins. How did you know that?"

“I had someone investigate him. I met him at a banquet not long ago. After being introduced by someone, we started talking about business. He said he had some good projects. I happened to be interested in them, so I had someone investigate them. I was planning to invest if they were suitable, but I didn’t expect to find out about these things.”

"Then how did you determine that this person has financial problems?"

"Don't you think the speed at which the other party makes money is disproportionate to the projects they invest in?"

Based on my extensive experience in business, this money is of questionable origin!

"Just keep this in mind. As for the project this person mentioned, please don't get involved. We will investigate his situation thoroughly."

"no problem!"

"What do you suspect!"

"Third Brother, you said he does business near the south, could it be related to that?"

"Possibly? Don't worry about that, just leave it to us and the police."

"good!"

There are many cases like this. In this day and age, as long as you identify a good project and work hard, you won't have to worry about making money. But some people just like to take shortcuts, so what can you do? They end up being watched by the police.

"Chairman Li, why didn't you invest in that project not long ago?"

"Chairman Zhang, I've thought it through too! But recently I've invested in several projects, and I'm a little short on cash!"

"Want some? I can lend you some!"

"How could I possibly accept that! I don't like borrowing money!"

"That's such a pity! You didn't even get involved in such a great project, thinking we could all make money together!"

"I'd like to! But I'm short of money."

"Alright! I won't bother Chairman Li any longer, I'll go take a look over there!"

"Alright, please go ahead!"

They say the business world is like a battlefield, and that's really true. This guy is really something else. I don't believe that this old fox doesn't know there's something wrong with this project. Could it be that he's involved in it too? No, I have to go home and have a good talk with my third brother.

From now on, I'll have to be careful when dealing with this old fox, or I'll fall into his trap again.

In this circle, no one is unaware of their own situation. As a woman who has been struggling in the business world for so many years, she is well aware of how many people are watching her.

However, because of the Shen family's status in the capital, no one dares to touch them now, but that doesn't mean no one wants to bring them down or the entire Shen family. It seems that this time they've gotten in someone's way again.

"You don't need to worry about that. Since someone has shown up, it means the other party can't wait any longer. They'll find out who it is soon."

"But Dad, who do you think he's targeting this time?"

"It's hard to say, but no matter who it is, we're not afraid."

"There's really nothing to be afraid of."

"Mianmian, don't go to any more banquets like this lately."

“Okay, that’s exactly what I was thinking too! I’ve been involved in too many projects lately, and besides, I’ve already told Zhang Cheng that I’m a bit short on cash, so I think it’s better not to go.”

"Mianmian, you don't have any money? Mom has some here, let me give you some first!"

"Mom, no need. I don't need the money. This is just an excuse."

"Alright then! If you don't have money, just tell Mom!"

"good!"

Who on earth is doing this?! And why would they do this?! It can't just be for the money in their hands, can it?! That's too simple.

Since we don't know now, let's wait and see what the other party is up to!

I just didn't expect to receive so many banquet invitations in the next few months.
