Qin Shi and Ren Mingyue met the former richest man and real estate tycoon, Wang Jianshe.
After a conversation, Wang Jianshe began to tell them the story of that era, which was his own story and the story of the entire era.
We used our connections to buy land with a short account. After we bought the land, we took out a loan from the bank before paying the money. In fact, we didn't spend a penny in the end. It was like using the bank's money to buy the country's land.
The next step is various subcontracting and pre-sales, and we still don’t have to spend any money ourselves, and a lot of cash will flow into our pockets.
At the beginning, the money had to be returned to the bank and used to pay for the project, materials, and labor costs, but the capitalists told us that this was the stupidest approach.
We used money to build relationships, plan the market, continue to acquire land, and continue to develop. As the leverage theory became popular in China, our projects increased, and countless amounts of money poured into my pocket like a waterfall.
With land and real estate, and the need for loans, commercial empires sprang up in an instant. We became the most profitable, the proudest, and the most arrogant of our time.
Wang Jianshe recalled that era, and the history of those real estate developers' rise to wealth seemed to be vivid in his mind.
"These people used other people's money to make money, and ended up making a fortune themselves. Can't they behave themselves and at least abide by the rules of the industry? Otherwise, we wouldn't be in this situation today."
"Hey, Team Leader Qin, you think too simply. You don't understand the madness, the feeling of being surrounded by flowers and applause, the feeling of being treated like a star the moment you step out. But it's too late now. That's when problems began to arise in Huaxia's real estate sector."
"What's the problem?"
“The temptation of capital!”
"Temptation? Hasn't capital already intervened?"
"What's involved is money, theory, leverage, and methods. But when a group of ordinary people suddenly become rich, capital begins to teach us to enjoy life, enjoy superior treatment, and enjoy the pleasure of commanding power. As a result, these wealthy people become increasingly arrogant, extravagant, blind, and self-centered, and the entire market changes accordingly."
"Were you like that back then?"
"Yes, I am one of them. Later, besides Huaxia, I began to get involved in real estate around the world. I was arrogant. Finally, something happened a few years ago. I woke up and learned from my mistakes. That's why I survived until now."
"Have you come to your senses?"
"Yes, it's all a scam. The dividends of the times are policies given by China, but they are being exploited by foreign capital. They seem to teach us methods and let us make quick profits, but in the end, they use all the money in their foreign capital. In the end, it all goes into the pockets of capital."
"You were also deceived. Can you avoid it?"
"Yes, but it's too late. Everyone's money, destiny, and even their future are controlled by capital. By the time you realize it, you no longer have a choice but to follow the plans of capital. These people have become slaves not only to money, but also to capital."
After hearing Wang Jianshe's explanation, Qin Shi felt a surge of resentment in his heart. No matter when China was, there were always these villains who were eroding China openly or secretly. However, it was easier to avoid an open attack than to guard against an arrow from the dark. Things were so sad.
"I heard my father say that you are a brave man who cut off his arm, and that you are a real man!" Ren Mingyue, who had been silent all the time, also praised Wang Jianshe's courage after listening to his story.
"Then why did you make such a choice?"
"At that time, I had set my sights on the whole world. I already knew the conspiracy of capital, and I was already trapped. It was impossible to quit this game directly, so I exhausted my family wealth and sold the properties under my name in exchange for a chance to breathe. If I hadn't done this, I'm afraid I would have no choice now!" Wang Jianshe shook his head and sighed. His life had been full of ups and downs, and he had to survive in desperate situations.
"Then why did you make such a choice?"
"Because I was a soldier, I still have the backbone and courage of a Chinese soldier in my bones. I can take it and let it go. Others say I am a hero who cuts off his own arm, which is not an exaggeration at all. But today, I am not sad about the shrinking of my wealth. On the contrary, I am more proud because I have broken the shackles of capital."
"You've lost so much, don't you regret it?" Qin Shi finally knew today that the real reason why the richest man Wang could make up his mind was actually related to his experience as a soldier.
"Regret? Haha, there's a saying that goes, if you're not good at it, practice more. If you can't afford to lose, don't play. That was then, and now is now."
"Although we may not have the glory we once had, we are more grounded and at ease. That's why I mustered the courage to meet you. I'm clean and I'm not afraid of anyone!"
There were so many reasons behind the richest man Wang's decision to stop and cut off his arm, which made Qin Shi look at Wang Jianshe with new respect.
"My father said that Uncle Wang is a man of blood!" It was very timely for Ren Mingyue to build relationships while leaving the important matters to Qin Shi.
"Haha, among these entrepreneurs, there are three I admire the most. One is your father, Old Brother Ren. No matter how much pressure from foreign capital you face, you always manage to withstand it. Another is Old Yu, who worked in education. When he was forced to step down, he left with dignity. And then there's Mr. Fok from Hong Kong. He's devoted to the country. But today there's one more!"
"There's one more person. Which entrepreneur can be praised so highly by you?" Ren Mingyue asked obediently.
"That's your Team Leader Qin. I used to think you only mined some technology for the country, but later you created Village Super. I like that, but what I like most is what you did when you discharged nuclear waste water in Sakura Country."
