No matter how big a city is, it will be a dead city without people.
There is only one way for a city to remain vibrant, and that is to constantly absorb external factors.
Among these external factors, the most important is people, high-quality people.
To put it simply, it refers to people with production and creative abilities, people with consumption abilities, and people who consider this city a place to retire...
The city is just a carrier, a carrier for realizing these people’s dreams.
The most important factor in this carrier is various enterprises.
Li Cheng has always been against letting unprofitable companies go bankrupt. He believes that most companies in trouble can still be saved.
He established the Entrepreneurs Association for this purpose. The association also has an elite club, and Li Cheng wants to use this elite club to set up an investment company.
With this investment company, Li Cheng can save more companies.
Director Yang agreed with Li Cheng to transform the land of the light bulb factory into a seafood market, but he was not optimistic about the prospects of this seafood market.
After all, there is already a seafood market in Shibaqu Lane. Although people know that there is sewage flowing there every day and it is dirty and messy, it does not stop them from stepping on the sewage to find delicious food.
The most important thing is that the light bulb factory is in the western suburbs, quite far from the city center. As a seafood market, it does not seem to have a good geographical advantage.
After Director Yang expressed his concerns, Li Cheng suddenly smiled and asked him, "Director Yang, do you think there are more gamblers or people just wanting to satisfy their appetites?"
Director Yang thought for a moment and said, "There's no comparison between these two types of people, right? There are gamblers who enjoy gourmet food. Similarly, there might be quite a few gamblers among those who enjoy gourmet food."
Li Cheng nodded and said, "You are right. But I want to tell you a story..."
Li Cheng's story is not long. It tells that there was a place where a casino was opened, and the location chosen was on a small island.
There are two people, let's call them A and B, both of whom are eligible to bid for the casino.
But A thought that the casino was on a small island, with strong winds and waves on the sea, and that traveling there and back required taking a small boat, which was both time-consuming and unsafe, so he estimated that no gambler would be willing to go there.
So, he gave up the competition, and B bought the casino.
When he said this, Li Cheng stopped and started eating.
The people at the table were just wondering what happened next. When they saw Li Cheng stopped talking, they asked, "What happened next?"
Li Cheng took a few bites of food without rushing, then slowly said, "As for the rest, you guys can talk about it yourselves. How about starting with Director Yang?"
Oh, it’s time to test everyone’s IQ.
Director Yang thought for a moment and said, "A's judgment is correct. Because going to the casino is dangerous, no one goes there. B's investment has been completely lost."
Li Cheng smiled after hearing the result and looked at Meng Jianghong again.
Meng Jianghong said, "It's hard to say. I definitely wouldn't want to take a boat to the island. I get seasick, and I'd be completely disoriented and lose money!"
As soon as Meng Jianghong finished speaking, Li Cheng and the others started laughing...
It was Lao Yue's turn. Lao Yue had recently become addicted to playing poker. Of course, Yue Xiaoyun kept a close eye on him, so he had no chance to play with anyone outside. He only played with a few other people in the office during lunch breaks.
It's normal to have some fun, but in order to add some excitement, Lao Yue and his friends place a small bet every time.
Li Cheng knew about this, but he felt that Old Yue was being controlled too badly by Yue Xiaoyun, so it was okay to have some fun, so he pretended not to know about it.
Li Cheng felt that Lao Yue had a bit of a gambler's mentality, so he really wanted to know what he was thinking.
Lao Yue looked at Li Cheng and asked, "Is gambling legal on that island? Is there anyone regulating it?"
Li Cheng said: "It's legal. As long as you don't cheat, no one will care."
Lao Yue nodded and said, "Then A must have made a wrong judgment. B is making money, and he will make a lot of money."
Li Cheng looked at Lao Yue and thought to himself, judging from your answer, you have become a fucking gambler.
Even though I'm not a gambler, I have the mentality of a gambler. I'll talk to you later, no, talk to Yue Xiaoyun.
Li Cheng looked at Lao Yue meaningfully, then turned his gaze to Ai Yi...
Oh, Ai Yi doesn’t count. She has heard herself tell this story before and she knows the answer.
Li Cheng's gaze swept across Ai Yi and fell on Zhang Dahe's face.
Zhang Dahe was struggling with a mantis shrimp, and there were a few peeled mantis shrimps on the plate next to him.
No one at the table asked him why he did this. Zhang Dahe had been quiet recently and others didn't bother to pay attention to him.
"Big river." Li Cheng shouted.
Zhang Dahe put down the mantis shrimp in his hand and said, "Is it my turn?"
Everyone looked at him, but no one spoke.
Zhang Dahe wiped his hands with a napkin and said, "I don't gamble, so it's hard to say which of A and B made the right choice. But if you bought the casino, I know you would make money."
"Why?" Meng Jianghong and others asked almost at the same time.
Zhang Dahe still looked at Li Cheng, with an unfathomable expression on his face, "Because you, Li Cheng, will do everything you can to get gamblers to come to the island and gamble..."
As soon as the words came out, everyone at the table started laughing.
Zhang Dahe was right! If this happened to Li Cheng, he would definitely try every possible means to get the gambler to the island.
Li Cheng heard the opposite meaning from Zhang Dahe's words. This guy still hated him for meddling in his and Du Xue's affairs.
Li Cheng looked at him, then at the peeled shrimp meat on the plate next to him, and thought to himself, are you peeling these for Du Xue's child?
