No matter how much money you need, I'll provide it!

Xu Ning waved to the waiter, signaling him to hand the menu to Ning Bing and Zheng Chenjie.

"Order anything, don't be shy."

"Let's eat first, I'm starving!"

He had already roughly figured out that their urgency in finding him was definitely about some project investment.

But no matter what the investment, he had to eat first. Even an emperor wouldn't shortchange his hungry soldiers.

Ning Bing couldn't help but pinch Xu Ning under the table, thinking, "How can you only think about eating?"

However, Zheng Chenjie thought that the atmosphere at the dinner table might be more relaxed, making it easier to discuss investment matters. So, after ordering, he smiled and asked, "Young Master Xu, would you like some red wine?"

Drink?

Xu Ning shook his head repeatedly.

"Sorry, I have to do a designated driver run later, so I'll have to decline."

Zheng Chenjie's brain short-circuited at that moment.

What?

Do a designated driver run later?

Why don't you say you're going to rummage through trash cans for bottles?

His reaction was similar to many people's when they heard Xu Ning was a designated driver; they were all utterly stunned.

It wasn't necessarily discrimination against designated drivers, but rather that one should work at a level commensurate with their status. When the disparity is too great, how could others not be confused?

You're worth hundreds of millions, driving a 50-million-dollar supercar, yet you work your fingers to the bone every night as a designated driver to earn money?

Can you even earn back the gas money for your supercar? It just feels incredibly outlandish!

Ning Bing, next to him, also put a hand to her forehead; she was already used to it.

"Oh... oh... then no alcohol..." It took a while for Zheng Chenjie to recover, and he chuckled a few times.

It wasn't until the waiter served the dishes that he fully regained his aura and demeanor as a financial elite.

"Xu Ning, I'll explain."

Ning Bing took a sip of freshly squeezed orange juice, glanced at Zheng Chenjie, and spoke with some impatience.

"Director Zheng is our investment director at Green Pine Capital, but he just resigned for certain reasons."

"The reason isn't convenient to discuss right now, but I guarantee that Director Zheng's character and professional ethics are impeccable."

"The reason we arranged this meeting is because he plans to start an investment company and wants to invite you to be a GP, which is a partner."

"And..."

As Ning Bing spoke to this point, Zheng Chenjie pressed his hand down, smiling at Ning Bing, "Let me explain."

Then, he turned his head to Xu Ning and spoke in as calm a tone as possible.

"I plan to start my own investment company, but my funds are limited."

"The typical funding model for an investment company is the founder + several GPs + an unquantified number of LPs to ensure the capital operation of the investment company."

"I can contribute 80 million."

"At the same time, I hope to bring in 2-3 GPs, who will jointly contribute 200-300 million."

"Once the funds reach this scale, initial investments won't be stretched thin."

"Once our reputation is established, LP contributions can reach a scale of 1 billion."

"By then, the investment company will have a certain standing in the industry!"

"I wonder if Young Master Xu is interested in becoming a GP?"

After briefly explaining the situation, Zheng Chenjie looked at Xu Ning with an eager and expectant gaze.

Xu Ning's expression didn't change much; he smiled faintly and turned to look at Ning Bing.

Because he didn't understand!

Even though Ning Bing had explained it to him before, he was still vague on the details.

Moreover, whether the other party was trustworthy also required Ning Bing to give him an answer.

Ning Bing, of course, understood what Xu Ning meant by looking at her, and she nodded very seriously.

"I don't care if you were joking when you said you could invest 120 million."

"But Director Zheng's operational ability and investment acumen are very well-known in the industry."

"And you can completely trust Director Zheng's character; he has an excellent reputation."

"If you have a large amount of idle funds, then I suggest you cooperate with Director Zheng."

"After all, wealthy people usually don't let their funds sit idle; they either go into the stock and futures market or into private equity funds."

"Director Zheng needs capital scale, and you need investment channels, so your cooperation is a win-win!"

Ning Bing's words made Xu Ning nod in agreement.

He had considered the issue of funds before.

After he bought the large villa, with the crazy money-making system, his capital scale would continue to grow daily.

How to manage these funds would then become a real problem before him.

At that time, he had considered private equity, as it was the easiest way to accommodate his funds.

However, private equity carried certain risks, and once the money was with the other party, he would have no say.

Therefore, he had always been very hesitant.

But today, Ning Bing presented him with an investment method that was very suitable for him.

"How much capital do you need?" Xu Ning turned to Zheng Chenjie and asked in a calm tone.

Although his attitude was indifferent, his words contained information that greatly excited Zheng Chenjie.

"In my plan, a single GP's capital injection is best over 100 million; two to three would be sufficient!"

100 million?

Although this number is simple, for most people, it's a fortune difficult to imagine in a lifetime.

However, at this moment, it was hard to stir too many ripples in Xu Ning's heart.

After a slight pause, he recalled Ning Bing's previous complaints about a small leader related to GPs at Green Pine Capital making things difficult for her.

"How about this, you don't need to find other GP partners!"

"Whatever capital shortfall you have in your plan, I'll cover it all for you!"

"Furthermore, I will not participate in the company's daily operations and project investments."

"However, there's one condition: Ning Bing, as my fully authorized representative, needs to hold a senior management position within the investment company and have the authority to oversee the company's investment activities!"

Xu Ning's resounding words directly stunned Zheng Chenjie and Ning Bing, leaving them with expressions of utter disbelief.

Ning Bing almost lost her ability to think, so shocked that she began to question her life.

Is Xu Ning that rich?

Zheng Chenjie had a capital operation shortfall of at least 200-300 million, and Xu Ning casually said he would cover it all!

Someone who can casually pull out two or three hundred million probably has assets of at least a billion or more.

In fact, even many billionaires with tens of billions in assets would struggle to produce two or three hundred million in cash!

What moved her even more amidst her shock was that Xu Ning would actually let her be his fully authorized representative.

What an incredible level of trust!

She had only had a one-night stand with Xu Ning, the "designated driver," because she drank too much, and hadn't thought much of it at the time.

But who would have thought that this "designated driver" was actually a super-rich young master?

She did know later that Xu Ning was wealthy, but she never imagined he was wealthy to this extent!

What a dreamlike encounter!

At this moment, the seemingly steady but actually domineering Xu Ning made Ning Bing completely captivated. Her gaze towards him was as gentle as water, and she involuntarily squeezed her legs together.
