"Why?" Zhang Yansheng argued, "You have clearly agreed to this project."
The old lady said: "This has nothing to do with the project itself, it's because of you."
Zhang Yansheng looked at the old lady in surprise.
"Yanyan, this is your first investment in your life." said the old lady.
Zhang Yansheng felt that she understood, and she said with certainty: "But grandma, this film project will really make money."
Zhang Yansheng is very confident.
What is the return on investment for Out of the Solar System? It is said to be as high as 350!
The old lady said, "If I think it will lose money, I won't give you a penny. Yanyan, do you think I'm afraid that you can't afford to lose in your investment? You're wrong. I'm more afraid that you can't afford to win than you can't afford to lose. I'm just afraid that your first investment will be too successful and you'll make too much money."
Zhang Yansheng was greatly surprised and finally felt confused.
The old lady wanted to speak, but her son held her arm. She looked back and saw Zhang Huan leaning forward, looking at Zhang Yansheng, and said, "Yanyan, you haven't really made any money yet, so you don't understand how fucking awesome it is to make money!"
He actually used foul language in front of the children. The old lady hit him with her backhand and scolded him: "How can you talk like that?"
"Just understand the spirit, just understand the spirit." Zhang Huan said to the old lady with a smile, and then looked at Zhang Yansheng, "You just said that we are afraid that you will lose money, which is of course correct. This is your first investment, so of course we are worried that the investment will fail, and losing too much money will damage your confidence and affect your future investment decisions."
"But at the same time, we don't want you to make a fortune on your first investment. Because making money is really exciting. Especially for you, you are still so young. If you make a fortune on your first investment, the excitement will be as strong as gambling. It may even suppress your rationality and make you develop a gambler's mentality. This is worse than not being able to afford to lose. Because mentality is an important factor influencing our investment decisions. Every investment decision should be rational, not an impulsive decision stimulated by the pleasure of making money."
The old lady's eyes suddenly became wet.
She put her fist to her nose, sniffed, and said, "You still remember it?"
"Oh, look at you." Zhang Huan pulled a tissue to the old lady, "How could I not remember it? When I made my first investment, you and I took me to the study and talked for so long, how could I forget it?"
The old lady blew her nose and said with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, it's your turn to tell Yanyan."
Zhang Huan also sighed: "Isn't it? I don't know where the time has gone..."
Zhang Yansheng's grandfather passed away early, and Zhang Yansheng had no impression of him, and of course no feelings for him.
Her real age is twenty-one, but she is still not at the age where she would lament the passing of time and the vicissitudes of life. Seeing the old lady and Zhang Huan like this, she could only wait helplessly.
After they calmed down, she said, "I understand what you mean. However, if I control the investment amount because I think there is risk, it's fine. But if I clearly expect this project to be a big hit, but I give up investing more money because of what you said. Then when it explodes, I will feel so bad when I think about how much money I missed. Have you ever thought about this?"
Zhang Huan said bluntly: "I see you are feeling very uncomfortable right now."
He has sharp eyes. After Zhang Yansheng became inflated, he really thought about how much less money he would earn if he invested less, and his emotions did fluctuate.
Zhang Yansheng said: "How can I not feel bad if I missed the chance?"
"So you think the mentality your grandma and I talked about is just about how to face failure and how to control your ego?" Zhang Huan said, "Yanyan, you still have to learn how to deal with this kind of 'if I had done this or that' emotion."
The old lady smiled and said, "That's perfect. You think the movie project you're interested in will be a big hit and make a lot of money. But why can't you make any money, Yanyan?"
Zhang Yansheng pondered for a moment and raised his eyes: "It's because my current ability is limited. I can only convince you to give me this much money. I don't have the ability to convince you to give me more money."
She felt bad for missing out on the money she knew she could earn, but she didn't consider that the money she thought she could "earn" was already beyond her ability.
Someone like her, who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and never worried about money, loses her composure when faced with the word "making money". You can imagine how strong the temptation of making money is for ordinary people.
Under such temptation, it is really easy to make irrational decisions.
Zhang Yansheng figured it out and felt relieved.
The old lady and Zhang Huan looked at each other and smiled.
Zhang Yansheng looked at his biological father, who was smiling with satisfaction, and suddenly asked, "How was the result of Dad's first investment?"
The warm atmosphere came to an abrupt end and the air suddenly became quiet.
The old lady turned her face away.
Zhang Huan suppressed his smile, tapped the table with his knuckles, and said calmly: "Is the result important? What is really important is that we should learn to make decisions rationally when we are young. Once the decision is made, no matter what the result is, we must accept it calmly. For people like me who are third-generation rich and you who are fourth-generation rich, what is more important is to maintain the status quo. Don't think that maintaining the status quo is a derogatory term. Ask your grandmother, how many of the families that were friends with our family back then are still alive today? How many have fallen on hard times!"
Zhang Yansheng stared at him for a while.
There was a stern and righteous look between Zhang Huan's brows.
Zhang Yansheng: "Did you lose money?"
Zhang Huan: “……!”
Old lady: “Puff!”
The one who rescued Zhang Huan, whose face was already stained with feces, was Zhang Yansheng's uncle Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu pushed the door open just in time. He came in and asked, "Why did I hear Yanyan is here? Hey, what are you doing?"
Zhang Yansheng politely called him "Uncle", and Zhang Huan was rescued. He hurriedly told his elder brother: "Yanyan found a project and wants to invest money. She gave us a presentation and took money out of our pockets."
Zhang Yu was very surprised and asked in astonishment: "Really?"
The old lady smiled and said, "Yes, we have decided to give her money."
This means that both the old lady and Zhang Huan approved of the project that Zhang Yansheng found.
Zhang Yu asked Zhang Yansheng: "Where did Yanyan find the project?"
It doesn’t matter what the project is or how much money is invested. Zhang Yu just wanted to know how Zhang Yansheng, a high school student, found such a reliable investment project. Where did she get the channels?
Zhang Yansheng said: "I came across this forum when I accompanied my grandma a few days ago. I thought it was great, so I talked to my grandma and my dad about it. They agreed."
Zhang Qi also went to that forum. Zhang Yu said, "Why haven't I heard Qiqi mention it? Aren't you two together?"
The old lady smiled.
Zhang Yansheng explained: "Sister Qiqi was busy attending the forum at the time, so I was just wandering around and met someone."
Then they found a project that was reliable enough for the old lady and Zhang Huan to agree to invest in? Even if they only invested two or three million in her to let her try the waters, it would be a recognition of her.
Zhang Yu's expression was a little subtle.
He couldn't help but ask: "How much are you going to invest?"
Zhang Yansheng told him, "My dad gave me one thousand. My grandma said before that if I can convince my dad to invest, she will double the amount he gives. So, grandma gave me two thousand. Uncle, everyone who sees it gets a share, why don't you support me a little bit?"
With a biological father and a biological grandmother, it is not Zhang Yu's turn to give her money. Zhang Yansheng was just in a good mood and was just joking.
Zhang Yu also knew this and laughed and scolded her, "Little money-grubber."
The mood is very subtle.
When he got home in the evening, he called Zhang Qi over and asked, "What did you do during those days of the forum?"
Zhang Qi said: "I have been taking care of my grandma and never left."
Zhang Yu asked: "What are the details?"
Zhang Qi was surprised: "I just listened to the forum, took notes, and then had lunch and dinner with grandma, and sent her back to her room at night."
"What did Yanyan do?" Zhang Yu asked. When Zhang Yansheng was mentioned, Zhang Qi became annoyed: "Don't mention it. She only listened to us obediently for the whole morning. On the first afternoon, she went out to run around and didn't even have dinner with us. I don't know what kind of messed up people she met."
Zhang Huan understood that it must be this "messy person" who introduced the investment project to Zhang Yansheng. Otherwise, where could Zhang Yansheng, a high school student, find project investment?
His mood became more subtle as he looked at his daughter.
You want to say that she did a bad thing...but it feels like that's really unfair to her.
They all asked her to take good care of her grandmother, and she never left her side.
As for the note-taking issue, there's nothing we can say about her. She is a student. When she listens to things like this, she takes notes, which shows that she is serious. When I think about it this way, I feel that Zhang Qi really did nothing wrong or even did anything bad. But Zhang Yu just felt uncomfortable, as if he couldn't explain the awkwardness.
Zhang Yansheng's great aunt came over and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly talking about the forum again?"
Didn’t I ask my daughter about this when I came back a few days ago? I heard from her that she took good care of the old lady and that she and her husband even praised her. But she was familiar with her husband and could tell that he looked a little strange.
Zhang Yu said, "Yanyan, after returning from the forum, she has taken a fancy to a film project and has already persuaded mom and second brother to invest in her."
The aunt and Zhang Qi were both stunned.
The eldest aunt asked, "Did mom give her money? How much? Two million? Five million?"
She felt that five million was the limit for investing in a middle school student for fun. After all, adults can't fool around with children. Five million isn't a lot, but it's money.
Zhang Qi also listened with bated breath, wanting to know the answer.
Zhang Yu's expression became more subtle.
"My mother gave 20 million, my second brother gave 10 million, and she plans to invest 30 million."
