This was exactly what Xiao Baojun was thinking. In fact, he really wanted to agree and say "yes," but considering basic social etiquette, he ultimately chose to swallow it back.
Helpless, he could only offer a slightly awkward smile to convey his thoughts and show that he indeed shared the same view.
Zhang Fan let out a self-deprecating chuckle, then picked up a bite of food with his chopsticks and chewed it.
At the same time, he gently shook his head and spoke slowly.
"Honestly, if I told you about this, you probably wouldn't believe it."
There was a time when I was a multi-millionaire! But unexpectedly, I ended up losing everything to such an insignificant, little game console.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Baojun was greatly shocked. The feeling was completely different from simply speculating and hearing it from the person involved.
You should know that having tens of millions in assets at that time would put you among the top tier of wealthy people in China!
However, this seemingly insignificant little game console was enough to plunge him into an abyss in an instant.
If this were to spread, probably no one would believe it at all!
Perhaps the alcohol was starting to take effect, because Zhang Fan's complexion became increasingly rosy, and he gradually became more talkative.
As he spoke slowly and deliberately, Xiao Baojun finally learned all the details about his past experiences.
Zhang Fan is a native of Pengcheng, and his home is located in the old streets of Pengcheng, not far away.
Rewinding to the early 1980s, it was like a thunderclap that the first wave of surging economic reforms swept across China.
Shenzhen, a city that has always stood at the forefront of the times of reform, is like a bright pearl, radiating unprecedented vitality.
At that time, Zhang Fan was young and in his early twenties, having just graduated from high school, and was at a crossroads in his life.
However, unlike many of his peers, he possesses an extraordinary sharp mind and a highly forward-looking business acumen.
While others were still clueless about this change and thought it was just another ordinary policy adjustment, Zhang Fan had already seen the infinite opportunities hidden within it, and boldly reached out and grasped them tightly, standing firmly at the crest of the wave.
Initially, Zhang Fan cleverly united his family and started from an inconspicuous small workshop, struggling and making progress step by step in the highly competitive clothing industry.
Through hard work and perseverance, they gradually accumulated a certain amount of capital.
But at this moment, Zhang Fan made a decision that shocked his entire family and they tried their best to dissuade him—ignoring their objections, he resolutely stepped out of the comfort zone of family workshop-style operation, decisively sold the small workshop on which he had made his fortune, and instead set about establishing a village collective company.
As time went on, the enormous dividends brought about by economic reforms were rapidly released in Shenzhen like a volcanic eruption.
Zhang Fan, who took the lead and had a long-term vision, also took off thanks to his wise decision, becoming the leading enterprise in the region and guiding the trend of industry development.
As things progressed, Zhang Fan, like Xiao Weiguo, gradually developed a desire for a broader business world and could no longer be satisfied with being confined to the small field of the clothing industry.
Therefore, he resolutely took a brave step and boldly tried to expand into various fields full of opportunities and challenges.
Whether it's the mouthwatering food industry, the exciting entertainment industry, or the magnificent field of architecture, he has ventured into them all without hesitation.
Time flies, and it was soon the late 1980s. Under the wise and insightful leadership of Zhang Fan, the company shone like a dazzling pearl, its assets exceeding tens of millions!
At this time, Zhang Fan, with his extraordinary talent and persistent hard work, successfully became a veritable multi-millionaire.
As the company's strength has grown, Sihai Industrial Group's reputation has become widely known and its fame has spread far and wide.
However, while Panlong Apparel ambitiously entered the Shenzhen market, Sihai Industry, having focused most of its energy on other industries, seemed to neglect its former core business—apparel.
This presents Panlong Apparel with a rare and excellent opportunity.
Back then, Zhang Fan was riding high, full of vigor and ambition!
He not only has a warm, harmonious, and happy family:
His wife is gentle, virtuous, and beautiful; she is a woman of both beauty and intelligence.
Her son is intelligent, well-behaved, and sensible, as adorable as an angel. This perfect life is truly the envy of others.
It's no exaggeration to say that Zhang Fan was a true winner in life at that time, enjoying all the world's pleasures.
However, fate is always full of drama. On that seemingly ordinary day, Zhang Fan was strolling down the street as usual.
Suddenly, the sign for an arcade caught his eye. With a mix of curiosity and trepidation, he stepped into this strange and mysterious world.
