520: You are the big brother
Especially those who said the game was abusive.
They are just playing a game, but some people are truly living such a life.
Every day, they have to face cruel reality.
At the same time, in the game's story, there are many shadows of ordinary people, which resonated with countless individuals.
"I don't think it's abusive. If it really is, think about our own lives. How many of us work twelve hours a day?"
"How many people only earn four or five thousand a month?"
"In the game, the protagonist can earn over ten thousand a month through his own efforts. Can we do that?"
"You think it's abusive? Do you even have the right to think it's abusive? The protagonist in the game just had a bad background, but through his own hard work, he still forged a brilliant life."
"What about you and me outside the game?"
"As soon as I think that I might have to be a beast of burden for the rest of my life, a lifetime of Working, I feel exhausted and my life seems bleak."
"The game is still too subtle; it has already taken into account the feelings of many people."
At some point, the game underwent a major reversal, with many people feeling that it was not abusive, but rather an experience of another life.
Suddenly, the game received overwhelmingly positive reviews.
The employees of Maha Game Company were all very excited to see the players' comments on the game.
A smooth start.
They hastened to produce the online game version.
Many employees within the company left to go to other game companies, guiding them in contributing to the game "Working."
...
At night, in a very luxurious private room of a club in Shen City.
Qian Ziyong did not know that "Working" was currently very popular; instead, he was drinking heartily with Zhao Kaixuan, Chen Jingfu, Sun Youan, and Tang Lezhan.
"President Qian, I'll toast you. You haven't been to Shen City in a long time," Sun Youan raised his glass and approached Qian Ziyong to offer a toast.
When Qian Ziyong raised his glass and clinked it with Sun Youan's, he, as always, lowered his own glass slightly.
This is etiquette at the drinking table.
When Qian Ziyong lowered his glass a bit, Sun Youan immediately lowered his even more than Qian Ziyong's.
Qian Ziyong lowered it again, and Sun Youan quickly lowered his even further.
It kept going lower and lower, almost touching the ground.
"President Qian!" Sun Youan quickly said, "Let your younger brother go first!"
Qian Ziyong: "Sun Dage, what are you saying?"
How did I become the elder brother?
Sun Youan said, "Please stop calling me Dage; I don't deserve it."
"You should be the Dage!"
The others all raised their glasses to Qian Ziyong: "Dage being able to come today gives us face."
"Thank you, Dage, for giving us face."
Qian Ziyong quickly waved his hand: "Everyone, you are shortening my lifespan. You are all almost a generation older than me, how can you call me Dage?"
"Just call me Ziyong."
"You are being too formal."
Seeing Qian Ziyong's sincerity, everyone felt relieved.
But they truly couldn't bring themselves to call him Ziyong.
Sun Youan and Chen Jingfu were an exception, as they had known Qian Ziyong for a long time.
The others calling him Ziyong, they worried that Qian Ziyong might resent it in his heart.
Now Qian Ziyong is a trillionaire CEO.
There are over four hundred billion stacked in the company's accounts.
He has also launched eye drops that treat myopia, making it easy to earn ten trillion in the future.
Although they were still quite wealthy.
The money they had wasn't even enough for a few days of Qian Ziyong's interest.
Even if they were worth tens of billions, that was a hundred times less than Qian Ziyong's worth of trillions.
And if you include the valuation of the eye drops, they were a thousand times less than Qian Ziyong.
It was like a rich person worth over a hundred million and an ordinary person only worth a hundred thousand.
Only they themselves knew how great the disparity was.
How could an ordinary person dare to call a billionaire by his first name?
Fortunately, after a few drinks, everyone realized that Qian Ziyong hadn't changed at all and still treated them as before, which immediately put their minds at ease.
Qian Ziyong said, "Brothers, your younger brother needs your help!"
Chen Jingfu quickly said, "Ziyong, just say the word. As your brothers, we'll help you even if it costs us our old lives!"
Qian Ziyong said, "As you all know, Han City is undergoing major construction and requires a large quantity of materials."
"Also, for factory materials, we need to find suppliers, but I'm not very familiar with domestic suppliers."
Chen Jingfu and the others exchanged glances, their eyes full of excitement.
Was he asking them for help?
No!
He was helping them!
They invited Qian Ziyong to dinner today precisely because they wanted to establish a connection.
Even if Qian Ziyong only let a little bit slip through his fingers, it would be enough to feed them well.
But they found it difficult to speak up.
Qian Ziyong, however, spoke first.
"Ziyong!" Sun Youan's old tears streamed down, "I haven't lived in vain this life!"
"The luckiest thing in this life was meeting you, Ziyong!"
As he spoke, Sun Youan was about to bow to Qian Ziyong.
Qian Ziyong quickly supported him: "Old brother, what are you doing?"
"You are helping me."
Sun Youan shook his head: "No more words, it's all in the wine!"
The current economic environment is very bad.
Countless goods cannot be sold.
Would Qian Ziyong not be able to buy goods?
What a joke.
Chen Jingfu, who was nearby, asked, "President Qian, besides raw materials, what else do you need?"
"With the current market environment, whatever you need, I can help you buy it!"
Qian Ziyong said, "I need everything!"
"I need all kinds of materials, as well as factories that use these materials to manufacture goods!"
"I want to open an all-industry factory in Han City that can produce 99% of the world's goods."
Losing only one or two things simply couldn't keep up with the speed of his wealth growth.
He needed more industries to lose money in.
Since that was the case, why not the entire industry!
If all industries lost money together, any amount of money should be able to be lost.
He couldn't rely entirely on high technology.
He could grasp both hands at once.
Catching all the fish, big and small, as long as it could lose money, it was a good fish!
Qian Ziyong's words startled them.
"99% of goods?" Sun Youan advised, "Ziyong, isn't this step a bit too big?"
"Investing in all these various industries in a messy way is far less effective than taking it step by step, slowly entering these unfamiliar industries one by one."
Qian Ziyong sighed helplessly.
If it were before, he would have been very happy to hear Sun Youan's words.
His brothers all said that he couldn't do it this way, that he would lose money.
He used to hear those words and would undoubtedly believe them without hesitation.
But time and time again, Qian Ziyong was badly hurt.
What about the game industry being bad, with deep waters.
He was making a fortune.
What about real estate being a scam? It was indeed a scam, making him earn so much money that he almost got trapped in a pile of money and couldn't get out.
Now they say he can't go into all industries, that moving too fast will cause problems.
How could he still believe it?
"It's fine, I know all this," Qian Ziyong said, taking a bite of food.
Chen Jingfu quickly said, "Youan, you're trying to teach Ziyong how to do business here; that's like teaching a fish to swim!"
Sun Youan, upon hearing this, patted his head: "Look at me, it's a habit."
"It's my fault, I'll punish myself with three drinks!"
Sun Youan raised his glass, about to drink three self-punishment drinks, but Qian Ziyong quickly stopped him.
"Dage was just being kind, it's nothing."
