Over fifty years old, without children, she cared for her aging parents. After seeing them to their end, and with a bit of savings in hand, a mysterious space suddenly appeared.

What was ther...

Chapter 288 Reflections

"opportunity?"

"Yes, it's an opportunity. As long as you overcome it, it's an opportunity!"

"Get over it? Easier said than done!"

"That depends on whether everyone is of one mind. As long as everyone is of one mind, I will be able to overcome this in a short time, and I will also be able to win more opportunities."

"But I'm afraid some people won't understand!"

"Therefore, this is a test of whether a person has a steadfast heart. As long as they can get through it, this opportunity will favor them."

"By the way, sir, I know your company is one of the few unlisted companies in Hong Kong. I wonder how much it has been affected by this crisis?"

"It's alright! We can barely keep going, but everyone is in a panic right now and won't listen to any advice! Most of the people living in Hong Kong have their money invested in stocks. They don't have any extra money like I do, so even if I had the best solution, they wouldn't believe me!"

"I'm afraid there's more than that!"

"Indeed, many people commit suicide by jumping off buildings every day because they can't bear the money they lose in the stock market, and this applies to people regardless of their level of success."

"I saw this in the newspaper. Although you can make money by investing in stocks, the risks are too great."

Moreover, the stock market is unpredictable and there are no discernible patterns; making money seems simple, but it's actually very difficult!

"Chairman Li, don't you know how to invest in the stock market?"

"How could there not be? To be honest, some companies in mainland China have gone public in recent years, and I have some investment in them, but it's not a large percentage."

"That's true. Knowing you as I do, you wouldn't put all your money in such a risky place. So why did you come to Hong Kong? From what I understand, you've bought quite a few stocks here these past few days!"

"It seems nothing can be hidden from you, sir. To be honest, I came to Hong Kong this time to learn about the situation here. As for how much to buy and whether I will lose money in the end, it doesn't matter. I haven't put too much money into it."

"So you're saying the government won't interfere with how much money you invest this time, is that right?"

"That's right, you won't be in any trouble even if you don't invest a single cent. It's just that everyone who comes here thinks this is a chance to make money."

"But the Hong Kong dollar is depreciating so quickly, and your investment is not a small amount."

"That's true, but anyone who comes here and needs money, no matter who they are, no matter how much they invest, should not be able to damage their foundation."

"That's true. Putting aside others, which of the original businessmen from Hong Kong present here doesn't have one or two trump cards up their sleeve? Otherwise, how could they have survived until now?"

Isn't that right? Otherwise, why would there be so many wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong!

"Chairman Li, you mentioned you were interested in learning about foundations here. How about I introduce you to a few people in this field later?"

"Great! Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome!"

"Hello, sir!"

"Oh, it's you! Chairman Zhao!"

"Sir, you're busy, I'll go take a look over there!"

"good!"

"Does the old gentleman know Chairman Li?"

"I know him. I met him when I first went to invest in mainland China. He is a rare business talent!"

"Yeah?"

Banquets are like that; they're not just for visiting other people, but for exchanging simple business information. From this information, you find targets that interest you, make repeated investments, and make money.

But money isn't so easy to earn. It's all about seizing the right opportunity and acting quickly. And the longer you wait, the harder it is to earn money.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to take this opportunity to buy more stocks.

In any case, the most promising industries for the next two or three decades have already been invested in, and we're just waiting to double our profits when the time comes.

As for the future, that's just how it is. There's no need to make any more investments to recoup the funds. The most important thing is to make money work for you without losing it.

So the reason I came here this time is to see if I can learn about family trusts and foundations, because the most important thing is to ensure the family's long-term prosperity.

However, for now we are only inquiring about related issues; as for other matters, we can discuss them in a few years.

However, there are always unexpected or other things that can happen, so it's always better to plan ahead.

However, neither foundations nor family trusts are very familiar to the people of Beijing at the moment. But there is a first time for everything, so why not make plans sooner?

Over the next few days, I spent most of my time either in the stock trading hall or attending banquets. I did meet some people in the foundation field and learned a bit about it, but I still need to think about the specifics of how to proceed.

"Chairman Li, the thank-you banquet is at 7 p.m. tonight. Is there anything we need to prepare?"

"No need, just proceed as usual."

"Chairman Li, the plane tickets have been booked. We'll be flying directly to Beijing at 10 AM the day after tomorrow!"

"Okay, got it!"

It's finally done. In the past two weeks, we've invested nearly 200 million yuan, which is no small amount. It will take at least three years to break even on that 200 million yuan.

This financial storm will last at least half a year from now. As for when to sell, there's no need to rush. Deciding where to put the money before you need it is not a problem.

As for the rest? Just wait for the annual dividends.

"Chairman Li, I really have to thank you for these past few days!"

"Mr. Xu, you're too kind. This is what we should all do. Saying thank you would be too formal. After all, we are all Chinese people, so there's no need for such formalities."

"Yes, yes, Chairman Li is right. I heard that Chairman Li has also invested in an entertainment company in mainland China. I wonder if you are interested in entertainment companies in Hong Kong?"

"Are you talking about investing in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong?"

"No, we're planning to promote our entertainment here to the mainland. What do you think?"

"You mean this? In recent years, many big stars have held concerts in mainland China, haven't they? I think it's pretty good, and everyone likes it very much. I don't know which aspect you're asking about, Mr. Xu."

What I'm trying to say is, what's it like for people from here to act in films and TV series in mainland China?

"Sure! But you'll probably have to learn Mandarin properly, since it's a big hurdle, and not everyone needs voice acting."

I think listening to the original version is better than listening to the dubbed version.

"That is indeed a problem. By the way, what do you think of the current development prospects of the film and television industry in mainland China?"

"I think it's developing no slower than the real estate industry, and it doesn't earn less than other industries."

"What do you think about taking the existing films from Hong Kong and selling them in mainland China?"
