87: No ability to reuse

Qian Ziyong fell silent.

All this time, he had only thought of Chen Jingfu as a wealthy businessman, but now he realized how principled he was.

Chen Jingfu took a bottle of red wine from a nearby cabinet and slowly opened it with a tool.

Chen Jingfu picked up two glasses and asked, "Want a drink?"

Qian Ziyong shook his head, "I don't really like drinking alcohol."

He felt that beverages tasted better than alcohol.

Beer and red wine were sour, and Liquor Stocks was bitter.

Chen Jingfu chuckled, "This is XO, two hundred thousand a bottle."

Qian Ziyong stood up, "Pour me one!"

Chen Jingfu poured him a glass.

Qian Ziyong took it, took a small sip, and cried out because it was sour.

Drinking alcohol without food, who could swallow that!

It was too much!

Qian Ziyong gnawed and gnawed on the watermelon on the table.

Chen Jingfu, however, drank leisurely.

Opening the window, feeling the lake breeze, sipping red wine, and enjoying life.

Qian Ziyong felt that if he weren't here, that little girl, Xiaoyu, would definitely be nestled beside Chen Jingfu.

Qian Ziyong smiled, "I also hope to live as freely as you, Old Brother."

This was truly living for Chen Jingfu!

Unlike him, after working so hard for so long, he only managed to earn five million.

The villa cost fifty million, and he hadn't even earned a tenth of it.

And this was just one of Chen Jingfu's temporary residences.

He also wanted to be as carefree as Chen Jingfu.

Chen Jingfu smiled, "Little Brother, money is very important. I believe with your talent, it won't be long before you're like me."

"The premise is not to touch stocks."

Qian Ziyong shook his head firmly, "I believe in myself."

"If it doesn't work out, I'll listen to you, Old Brother, and never touch that stuff again."

With nothing more to say, Chen Jingfu stopped persuading him.

"By the way," Chen Jingfu said, "your good buddy Liu Gaoda actually doesn't have the ability to manage a company or a department."

"With you leading him now, the problem might not be obvious."

"But over time, it's very likely to cause big trouble."

Qian Ziyong thought for a moment and said, "Are you saying he's not capable?"

"But the Hot Pot Restaurant was his brainchild."

He also felt that Liu Gaoda was not capable.

Precisely because he felt he was not capable, he gave him important positions.

But he didn't expect Liu Gaoda to make the Hot Pot Restaurant flourish, earning him so much money!

He felt he had misjudged him.

Liu Gaoda might be a hidden business genius.

If that were true, he wouldn't dare give Liu Gaoda too high a position.

Otherwise, Liu Gaoda would earn him a lot more money!

Just like this time, Liu Gaoda actually opened a Heli 撈 branch!

He was now letting Liu Gaoda manage human resources, also thinking of not letting his talent be fully utilized.

After all, the personnel for the Shen City Milk Tea Shop had already been arranged by him, and Liu Gaoda basically had nothing to do there.

It was precisely to prevent Liu Gaoda from disrupting his plan to lose money that he transferred Liu Gaoda!

Now Chen Jingfu actually said Liu Gaoda had no talent.

If that were true, then transferring Liu Gaoda might be a mistake!

Chen Jingfu smiled and said, "Little Brother, I'm talking about your friend, I hope you don't get angry."

"I don't like to talk about people behind their backs, but you call me Old Brother, so I must live up to that title."

"That's why I specifically reminded you."

"Of course, if you think it's wrong, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Qian Ziyong stood up with a serious expression, "Please teach me, Old Brother!"

"I'm young, and there are certainly many areas where I'm not as good as you, Old Brother, so I really need your guidance."

"How could I blame you, Old Brother, for your guidance, which I will engrave in my heart and be endlessly grateful for?"

Chen Jingfu's assets exceeded ten billion; he was someone Qian Ziyong couldn't even meet before, even if he wanted to.

Now, being able to hear his guidance was a blessing cultivated over eight lifetimes.

In school, teachers were willing to teach diligently.

But outside of school, who would be willing to teach others thanklessly?

Wouldn't it be more comfortable to just enjoy themselves with that time?

If Chen Jingfu were willing to take on apprentices, many people would surely be willing to pay all their wealth in tuition to follow him.

Qian Ziyong knew his place; he was just an ordinary college student.

Compared to Chen Jingfu, his abilities were far inferior.

Listening to Qian Ziyong's words, Chen Jingfu was very satisfied.

Chen Jingfu sighed, "Do you know why, as a young man, Sun Youan and I are so concerned about you?"

"Even my own relatives' children, I usually can't be bothered to guide them, let alone meticulously instruct them."

Qian Ziyong scratched his head and asked curiously, "Why?"

Chen Jingfu said, "Because you are humble and have principles!"

"Most young people, after achieving a little success, get carried away, thinking they are amazing."

"I've seen many such young people, and it won't be long before they fall headfirst."

"They might get back up and become humble, or they might never recover, and their life will be ruined!"

Chen Jingfu took a sip of wine and said, "As for principles."

"I used to think principles weren't important, and even morality wasn't important."

"A person's ability is most important; ability and talent determine the upper limit of a person's achievements."

"Later, after meeting more people, especially those billionaires and trillionaires, I understood."

"Weak virtue yet high position, small wisdom yet grand schemes, weak power yet heavy responsibilities, all lead to self-destruction."

"Virtue is the ultimate upper limit of how much a person can achieve!"

"And if you have no principles and value money above everything else, Sun Youan and I would also worry that one day you might betray us for money."

"In the investment world, we've been betrayed quite a few times, and we understand one truth: investing isn't about the project, but about the person!"

"If the person isn't capable, even the best project is useless; if the person is capable, even a bad project might make money!"

Qian Ziyong scratched his head; he felt that what Chen Jingfu said made a lot of sense.

But he didn't quite understand.

However, Ziyong did understand one thing: the Old Brother thought he was humble.

This was a huge misunderstanding. The money earned by the supermarket and Hot Pot Restaurant were all accidental.

He inherently lacked ability; this wasn't humility, but self-awareness!

What a huge misunderstanding!

Qian Ziyong still didn't know how to explain.

If he said that the money earned by the supermarket and Hot Pot Restaurant had nothing to do with him and were all accidents, Chen Jingfu wouldn't believe him!

He would only think he was even more humble!

It was truly unexplainable!

Chen Jingfu saw a hint of confusion in Qian Ziyong's eyes and smiled, saying, "It's okay if you don't understand; you'll understand when you experience more in the future."

Qian Ziyong asked, "What about Liu Gaoda?"

"I think Liu Gaoda is similar to me; he should also be a talent, right?"

Chen Jingfu shook his head, "Liu Gaoda is far behind you!"

"You can see the difference between Liu Gaoda and you just by looking at one point."

"When he achieves a little success, he gets carried away, his personality changes drastically, and he loses all sense of direction."

"Such a person, if not constantly kept in check, will definitely cause big trouble!"

"The majority of his current achievements are because you are guiding him."

"All the strategies for the Hot Pot Restaurant were planned by you; Liu Gaoda is at most an executor."

"Just executing, as long as one's IQ is normal, they can do it very well."
