Free Web NovelChapter 2172: Chapter 2173: The First Wife Who Left With Nothing 92
Zhang Yu has been incredibly busy recently. Her good friend Feng Lina finally came to Harbor City to meet up with her. The two of them were busy looking for an office because to start a proper business, you must have an office.
It doesn’t need to be large, but it must at least look decent, or else people might think you’re not serious.
After searching for a while, they finally found an office of about fifty to sixty square meters with a meeting room, a finance room, a data room, and a large office. Honestly, it wasn’t a big space.
Looking at this office, Zhang Yu could only say, "Such a small place, and the rent is tens of thousands."
"Every inch of land is precious here," Feng Lina sighed, "No worries, it’s just the two or three of us here."
For now, the financial work is outsourced, so the finance room also doubles as a data room.
"We can do it, I believe we will definitely succeed." Zhang Yu was confident in her and Feng Lina’s partnership, and that they could succeed in their entrepreneurship.
Feng Lina nodded repeatedly, "By the way, about that project you chose last time, I looked into it. It’s good, but do you really think it will succeed?"
"I checked the team they were with before, and I didn’t see many issues with their project." Feng Lina had researched and thought the project was quite good; she just didn’t understand why Zhang Yu wasn’t interested.
"The project is fine; otherwise, when I went to the Capital City initially, I thought about reaching out to them. As a result..." Zhang Yu said helplessly, "They didn’t see me as someone with money and had a rather aloof attitude." ƒrēewebnovel.com
"Even when I expressed my interest in investing, their attitude was still cold." Zhang Yu sighed helplessly, "It’s not that I didn’t want to invest, but there really wasn’t a way."
"They looked down on me."
"Despite their arrogance, I thought I couldn’t just give up. I had to find a way to contact them. You know, many college students are on the university BBS now, so I went there to take a look."
"Really, I browsed the BBS for a long time." She couldn’t remember how long specifically, but she definitely spent quite a bit of time, "Then I found some information."
"There was a lot of stuff up there, so I asked around a bit more and came to some conclusions." Zhang Yu recounted everything she saw on the BBS and what she found out when asking around.
Feng Lina was surprised that Zhang Yu actually went on the Founder University BBS and indeed made some discoveries.
"So I thought about it and decided to step back, especially since their attitude towards me was indifferent. I, of course, didn’t want to make a fool of myself."
"Then Xie Zhen found out and gave me an opportunity to buy in. Although I wasn’t very optimistic, I wasn’t sure either, and since such a good chance came, I thought I shouldn’t miss it."
"What if they perform well?" Zhang Yu recalled things from a few days ago when she went to sign the investment agreement, "Honestly, this company is a bit full of itself."
"It’s not that they were disrespectful to me as a small investor, but there was just this sense that they believed their project was good and had plenty of investors, so they didn’t pay much attention to a small investor like me."
"Then I heard some news, I’m not sure about its authenticity." Zhang Yu clarified that she actually heard some rumors, but the truthfulness was unknown.
"The deputy head of the logistics department, who graduated only a few years ago, has already bought a four-bedroom apartment in the Capital City, and in a pretty good location at that."
"This person isn’t a founder; they were part of the university student council and joined the company after graduating." Some things don’t need to be clearly spelled out; just hint slightly.
"An ordinary person?" Feng Lina gasped. If the family helped buy such a house, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but if not, it’s surprising for such a young graduate to buy such a big house, potentially costing millions.
Zhang Yu nodded, "Yes, just an ordinary person. I guess their greatest fortune was choosing the right side in this life."
"This isn’t a small amount of money, even for a deputy role to have such substantial income, what about other departments?"
"He couldn’t be the only one involved either." The company’s rapid development made it prone to issues, and well, the problem had arisen.
"And he bought such a big house, didn’t those people have any suspicions?"
"Did they never think about the issues here? Oh dear, Feng Lina was truly at a loss for words."
"So, I am really quite clear-headed." Zhang Yu felt lucky to have found out this information.
"If you could find out, how could Xie Zhen and others not know?" Considering Zhang Yu usually stayed in Harbor City, how did she learn about these things was quite intriguing.
"Why wouldn’t they know?" Zhang Yu thought for a moment, following the typical issues of large companies, "These things are employees’ personal affairs, why would they investigate?"
"Moreover, to put it bluntly, they have this condescending attitude." Zhang Yu looked at Feng Lina.
Feng Lina thought for a moment and nodded, "We also wouldn’t pay attention to these things." Then added, "Mainly in foreigners’ eyes, these are private matters that shouldn’t be inquired about, you know foreigners actually care a lot about privacy."
"So we can only talk about these things privately, it can’t be brought to the surface." Some things are best known privately, once revealed they wouldn’t stand. freewёbnoνel.com
"Also after the founder got the funding, their spending increased, or one could say they became conceited, they got luxury houses and cars. Of course, with money, wanting to have a better life is normal, why else work so hard to earn money." Zhang Yu could really understand their actions.
"But what a startup absolutely can’t lose is what? When the founders lose the drive to advance, a company without the momentum to move forward will slow down."
"They may be in the lead now, but are there not many people chasing behind them?"
"Once an idea becomes popular, there will always be someone slowly copying it."
"Of course, I also hope this project will be successful, to bring more entrepreneurship opportunities." Zhang Yu really needed this project, otherwise, there was no way to continue other investments.
The ace in the hole that could make the investment company renowned, that’s what Zhang Yu was eyeing. Of course, it was all her thoughts, but she hoped that company would do well in the end.
"By the way, a couple of days ago I saw someone in our class group saying that Lin Yu appeared on TV looking like a stock market expert, what made him think of doing that?" Feng Lina remembered Lin Yu implying that doing that would lower his status, how come he is doing it now.
Someone actually went to do that huh, Zhang Yu was genuinely surprised, "Actually went and did it."
Seeing how tempted he looked that day, Zhang Yu thought he was likely to agree, but then there was no follow-up, and she thought he might have given up or found a better path, never expected he really went through with it.
