Ye Feng found himself back to when he was eighteen years old, when he was a freshman in college.
Fragments of memories then resurfaced.
He clenched his fists involuntarily, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes!
His family is quite well-off; they own five apartments in Shenzhen, all in very good locations.
He remembered that his home was about to be demolished.
A house can yield tens of millions in compensation.
After the news of their house being slated for demolition spread, their relatives and friends went crazy, rushing to borrow money.
At the time, Ye Feng's parents did not refuse any of the relatives and friends who came to borrow money.
The amounts range from as little as 30,000 to 50,000, and as much as 400,000 to 500,000. In total, the loans issued amount to more than 10 million.
Two years later, Ye Feng's parents' company went bankrupt due to mismanagement and they had no money to pay their employees' salaries.
Then he asked the relatives and friends who had lent him money to get it back.
but!
Surprisingly, not a single person was willing to pay back the debt. After learning that their families had gone bankrupt, they all changed their tune and refused to acknowledge their debts.
When Ye Feng's parents lent money to those people, they felt that everyone was a relative or friend, so they didn't ask them to write IOUs.
As a result, Ye Feng, who could have been studying peacefully at university, had to work part-time to support himself.
He spent no more than 300 yuan a month on food and endured this for three years before finally joining an internet company by contributing his technical skills as equity.
The company eventually went public, and Ye Feng's net worth reached the tens of billions level.
But every time Ye Feng recalls the hardships he endured during those three years, he feels an intense hatred for those relatives and friends who borrowed money and refused to repay it.
If it weren't for them, Ye Feng wouldn't have had to work several jobs during his three years of university to make a living and ruin his health.
He suspects that his return to his eighteen-year-old self is due to physical reasons.
If given a second chance, Ye Feng would never let those friends and relatives who borrowed money and didn't repay it off easily.
This time, however, he possesses the memories of the next ten years, remembering clearly which industries are profitable and what major events have occurred.
"Set a small goal: first, become the richest person in the country."
Thinking this, Ye Feng got up and went to the living room.
Dad Ye Shan and Mom Li Wan were watching TV together in the living room.
Ye Feng walked over and said to Ye Shan, "Dad, I remember this place is going to be demolished soon, right?"
"Yes," Ye Shan said, "I just received the notification today."
All five of our family's houses are located within the demolition area.
Li Wan said, "Our family is going to be rich now. The developer offered a lot of compensation, 50,000 yuan per square meter."
"We own several apartments, each over 200 square meters, and each costs ten million."
My parents have been in a very good mood these past few days.
The family company has an annual net profit of around 800,000 to 900,000 yuan.
It's unclear how long it will take to earn 50 million.
They are all very glad that they bought a set for one million a few years ago.
Ye Shan added, "There are two options: one is to give money directly, and the other is to give a house, with a one-to-two compensation ratio."
The location is slightly worse than here, but the surrounding amenities are still quite good. Son, what do you think we should choose?
Ye Feng is now an adult and has received an admission letter from a university in Mocheng, so Ye Shan now consults with him about everything.
Ye Feng said, "Let's not rush into that. Shouldn't we consider the reaction of our relatives after the news of the demolition gets out?"
They'll most likely come to borrow money. I think we could lend them some beforehand and see how it goes.
Ye Shan frowned slightly: "Isn't this a bad idea?"
Li Wan, however, had a different opinion: "I think our son is right. True friendship is revealed in times of trouble."
You could lie and say that our company has gone bankrupt and that the houses have all been mortgaged, and see how our relatives react.
"If they're willing to lend us money, we'll help them in the future if we can. If they're not, and they're cutting ties with us, then there's no need for us to have anything to do with them anymore."
Ye Shan thought it made sense, so he picked up his phone and said, "Then I'll call Ye Jun first."
Ye Jun is his younger brother; there are only two brothers in his family.
The call was answered quickly, and a cheerful voice came through: "Brother, what's up?"
Ye Shan said, "That's right, my company went bankrupt, and my house was mortgaged."
"Could you lend me 100,000 yuan right now? I can pay you back quickly."
Ye Jun was shocked: "Brother, you're not kidding, are you? How did you suddenly go bankrupt?"
Ye Shan smiled wryly: "Actually, the problem started a few months ago, and we've been holding on."
I can't hold on any longer, I have no choice but to borrow some money from you.
Ye Shan felt that his younger brother would definitely lend it to him.
Because his younger brother didn't even finish junior high school before starting work.
After working for more than ten years, I haven't saved a single penny.
Later, with Ye Shan's help, he was able to rent a shop in Shenzhen and start a fruit wholesale business.
Thanks to Ye Shan's connections, his business has been getting better and better over the years.
Even if I don't say it's a lot, I can definitely make a net profit of 500,000 a year, and I've even bought a luxury car.
However, to Ye Shan's utter surprise, Ye Jun actually refused: "Brother, I don't have any money either."
"What?" Ye Shan thought he had misheard: "Your shop is doing very well, yet you can't even come up with 100,000 yuan?"
At that moment, in the fruit shop, Ye Jun's wife was beside him, constantly giving him meaningful glances and shaking her head.
Ye Jun's tone suddenly turned cold: "Business has been bad lately, and my child is about to enter his senior year of high school, which will cost a lot of money."
Brother, you should find someone else.
Ye Shan was stunned.
I never imagined that my only brother, who had helped me so much, would refuse to lend me even 100,000 yuan when I needed it most.
Ye Feng was already aware of this.
This second uncle is a complete scoundrel.
When I started my business, my dad gave me 500,000 yuan right away.
They said it was a loan, but they haven't paid back a single penny yet.
Ye Feng typed a message on his phone and showed it to Ye Shan.
Ye Shan then remembered that he had lent Ye Jun 500,000 yuan.
He then said, "Since that's the case, then you should return the 500,000 yuan I lent you to start your business."
Ye Jun snorted coldly: "Brother, are you confused? When did I borrow money from you?"
Ye Shan was furious: "Have you forgotten such a large sum of money?"
"How could I forget something that didn't happen?" Ye Jun immediately resorted to shamelessness: "Alright, I have other things to do, that's all."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Ye Shan felt as if his heart had been stabbed, and the pain was excruciating!
Unwilling to give up, they called again.
But then he discovered that Ye Jun had blocked his phone number!
Ye Feng patted his back and said, "Dad, keep fighting and see how the other relatives react."
