Qin Shi and Ren Mingyue came to the home of Wang Jianshe, the former richest man, real estate tycoon, and founder of One Hundred Million Small Goals, Chairman Wang.
Looking at the villa estates by the sea, each villa is surrounded by greenery. There are only a dozen villas in a large area facing the sea.
"How much does a house like this cost? I wonder where Chairman Wang lives. Is it the biggest one?" Qin Shi guessed in his heart and asked directly.
"Is this Chairman Wang's home? Which one is it?" Qin Shi asked curiously.
“Oh, every one of them!”
The driver's words immediately shut Qin Shi up. Every building is like this...
"Every building? Then... can we live here?"
"Oh, you're joking, boss! How can all of these rooms be used for living? Some are study rooms, some are for meeting guests, and some are for dining. They all have their own uses!"
Qin Shi understood that the rooms in Chairman Wang's house were calculated by building.
Perhaps because of the identities of Qin Shi and the other two, the driver was very polite to them and took the initiative to introduce some precious tree species in the community. Soon, they arrived at the door of a relatively large villa.
"Two leaders, we're here. Please go in on your own!"
Qin Shi and the other man got out of the car and walked straight to the villa. At this time, a muscular man in a Tang suit was standing at the door to greet them.
"Haha, welcome, welcome. This must be Old Ren's daughter, right? Well, she's pretty, but luckily she doesn't look like your father!"
"Hello, Uncle Wang!"
Since they were related by the elders in the family, Ren Mingyue naturally called Wang Jianshe "uncle", which made the relationship between the three of them a lot more subtle.
"This must be Team Leader Qin, right? I've heard some news about you recently. It's true that heroes emerge young, and China has talented people in every generation!"
"Chairman Wang, thank you for your compliment. I'm also ignorant. I'm full of passion and always want to do things that others don't like to do. I really have no choice but to use my connections to come to your door!"
"Well, you have power but are not arrogant, you are smart and courageous. Old Ren's evaluation of you is indeed true. Not bad. Please come in and have a cup of tea!"
Wang Jianshe seemed very satisfied with Qin Shi's performance. He led the two of them into the villa with a smile. The living room was very luxurious, with many authentic works of celebrities hanging in the living room. As soon as the three of them sat down, someone brought them freshly brewed black tea.
After pouring tea for the three people, the man who looked like a butler said nothing, nodded to Wang Jianshe, and retreated to the back room.
"Team Leader Qin, let's get straight to the point. Is this your idea or Congress's? There are all sorts of rumors going around about this matter!"
"Mr. Wang, this is my idea, and it's also what Congress wants. It's just that others don't want to get involved, so I have no choice but to force them to do it!"
"Oh? Congress has always been cautious about taking action, and everyone knows that. But I'm a little surprised that Team Leader Qin dared to get involved in this mess. Do you know what this means?"
"I understand, but China's economy is now the main pillar of China. Historical patterns tell us that once there is a problem in this area, it will be a fatal blow to China. Although I am not talented, I also want to take a chance for China!" Qin Shi spoke sincerely and with a clear attitude.
"Well, it's been a while since I've seen such a young person who takes his country so seriously. Times have changed. You're truly an eye-opener for me. Tell me, what help do you want from me?"
Qin Shi was sincere, and Wang Jianshe had no intention of hiding anything, so he spoke directly to the point.
"I want to ask, these real estate tycoons have left such a huge economic hole in China, yet they themselves have taken the money and fled abroad for retirement. Don't they know how much harm this will cause to China and its people?"
"Well, of course they know. As people involved in the game, how could we not know the interests involved? If it weren't for the current situation, who would be willing to give up all the halo and glory and go far away?" Wang Jianshe replied with a sigh.
"Knowing that they still do this, why do they do it? Is there no chance to save it?"
"Why!"
Wang Jianshe sighed again, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, then stared into Qin Shi's eyes and smiled slightly.
"Team Leader Qin is very courageous, but he's still too young. Do you know how we all made our fortunes?"
"Get rich? I haven't read many of your autobiographies or interviews, but news videos often say that your rise to wealth was very difficult and bears the marks of the times."
Qin Shi spoke very tactfully. He acknowledged the other party's efforts, but also cleverly expressed his own point of view. If it weren't for a special era, you wouldn't have reached where you are today.
"Yes, you're right. Don't listen to the inspirational stories out there. In China, it's a society based on personal relationships. As long as you stay ahead of the mainstream and follow national policies, you can make money and stay relevant. The fact that our generation has been able to thrive is a bonus from this era."
Although what Wang Jianshe said deviated from Qin Shi's, it was equivalent to confirming Qin Shi's meaning that he was the real creator of these legendary business tycoons.
"We started from scratch and we assessed the situation. Everyone only sees our glamour, but they don't know how many competitors we stepped on to get to where we are today. The times have indeed brought dividends, but we were indeed bloodthirsty back then!" Wang Jianshe's eyes flickered, as if he was reminiscing.
"Business is like a battlefield. Although I'm not from the business world, I've heard that it seems to be difficult for you too! So why do you still take risks and fight?"
"At first it was for food, but later..." Wang Jianshe was silent for a moment and continued.
"The money was made so quickly. Even now, it would be astonishing wealth. The whole era was changing, national policies were encouraging, and urbanization was just beginning to emerge. That was the era of making money. People were like crazy, gambling their lives. But after the money came so quickly, capital began to slowly intervene!"
"Capital? Those foreign capitalists? Are they starting to intervene in our market?"
"In the beginning, it wasn't a matter of money, but of ideology. Ever since China settled down, capitalism has been eroding the country constantly. This capitalism has turned those who got rich overnight into slaves of money, and a series of capital concepts have begun to emerge in China."
"So these people started changing after they got money and wanted to become capitalists?"
"It's not just about money, it's also about comparison and vanity. China itself is a society based on personal relationships. When capital consciousness intervenes, the Chinese market begins to change."
"Have you changed?" Although he came to ask Chairman Wang for help, Qin Shi couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, I have changed too. I was madly pursuing profit, using every possible means. Thinking back on that period of time, I was really like a madman!"
Chairman Wang seemed to see his past self, with a complicated look in his eyes. It was that brutal and passionate era, which he had personally experienced.
