After listening to her father's words, Gu Yuqing remained indifferent and smiled, "Large investment? What do you mean?"
Gu Zongyan frowned and said, "Don't be so hypocritical. Your cousin Zefeng has already told me that you recently invested $100 million in an unreliable startup team. Is that true?"
Gu Yuqing turned to the other side with a sharp look. A man who was slightly older than her looked ashamed. He nodded and smiled at her repeatedly, asking for forgiveness for his act of telling tales.
Gu Yuqing turned around, her expression calm: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Seeing his daughter acting calm, Gu Zongyan frowned and became even angrier. "You're still asking what's wrong? Why would you invest 100 million in a team like this? Your working capital is only a little over 100 million, right?"
Gu Yuqing said, "Yes, this is my own liquidity. I don't think it's necessary to talk about it in this situation. Dad, don't waste time. Let's get down to business."
Gu Zongyan interrupted her. "This is a formal discussion, and a serious one. Tell me, if you believe this company has a promising future, why didn't you agree to invest in them through the company? Why did you choose to invest privately instead?"
While Gu Zongyan's words sounded ordinary, the underlying logic was truly heartbreaking.
If Gu Yuqing judged that the small team could make a profit, it would mean that Gu Yuqing was harming the public interest and enriching herself;
If that team cannot make a profit, it means that Gu Yuqing has a problem with her brain.
The board members present suddenly felt uneasy.
They had rarely heard such a harsh tone in this conference room.
We are all descendants of the Gu family and share the same blood. Even if there are minor flaws and stains, they will only be mentioned briefly.
What's more, the one who made the mistake this time was Gu Zongyan's own daughter?
Gu Yuqing didn't seem to feel any pressure at all, and said in that nonchalant tone:
"It's simple. My colleagues at the company all think this investment is not worthwhile, but I have a different opinion. The company can't afford such a loss, but I can, so I invested."
Gu Zongyan nodded and said, "Okay."
He nodded more than ten times in a row, as if thinking about how to deal with Gu Yuqing, and then said:
"Then I want to see whether your investment can be successful."
Gu Yuqing smiled: "Then please wait and see."
Gu Zongyan is almost used to his daughter's disrespectful behavior.
She has been disobedient since she was a child, causing her parents a lot of headaches. They thought she would get better when she grew up, but unexpectedly, she became even more difficult to control after growing up.
"Don't go too far!" Gu Zongyan slammed the table and said, "Don't think that all your money is earned by your own ability. If you are not my daughter, Gu Zongyan, you will never be able to do it in your life! Don't forget your identity!"
Gu Yuqing said softly: "But we don't have a choice, do we?"
Gu Zongyan stared at her, and her eyes were fixed on her father, not giving way at all.
I can't choose my father, just as you can't choose your daughter.
We are all the same.
Beneath the surface of her clear eyes, there was something very indomitable.
Gu Zongyan sighed and said, "Okay, since you think so, I'll give you a chance."
Gu Yuqing looked at him, rolled her eyes twice, and said nothing.
"Just give me six months. If your investment is successful within six months, I'll leave you alone," Gu Zongyan said. "If your investment fails, I'm sorry, but from now on, the family won't let you mess around anymore. Just get married!"
After listening to this, Gu Yuqing narrowed her eyes.
The real purpose was revealed, it turned out that he was waiting here.
Gu Yuqing instantly figured out what happened to the man named Yi yesterday.
It was obvious that my father wanted to marry me off.
Today's temper is just for everyone to see, to block my own retreat.
But it must be said that his methods were very effective.
Gu Yuqing is not the kind of person who likes to slap himself in the face.
If she took a step back here, she would have to take steps back in the future. She could only endure the pressure and move on.
"Okay." Gu Yuqing said, "Then it's settled. If my investment is successful in six months, the family will no longer be able to dictate my personal affairs."
Seeing his daughter fall for the trick, Gu Zongyan quickly added, "A successful investment isn't just about making a profit. The rate of return must be at least 120% to be considered a success!"
"120%? Why don't you just rob a bank?"
"So you're not sure. Seeing you so confident, I thought you could do it." Gu Zongyan sneered.
Gu Yuqing rubbed her forehead and started a quarrel with Gu Zongyan.
She had to accept the bet, and she had many ways to pass it.
But a 120% return means 120 million US dollars. In just half a year, you can get back your principal and interest. It’s not that fast even if you dig for gold!
The several directors present had no choice but to listen to the father and daughter bargaining, talking about everything from A-shares to "Das Kapital", chattering non-stop for the entire morning.

While the Gu family at Takasugi Capital was holding a meeting, a meeting was also taking place on the Kyoto University campus far away in the city.
However, the scale of this meeting is much smaller than that over there.
This was an academic conference. The principal invited a teaching expert to give lectures to the teachers and share some academic experiences and insights.
The master was a nice person, but his voice was too monotonous, and he dragged out the first syllable of each sentence, which made the group of university lecturers drowsy.
