Chapter 420: Chapter 420 Nuannuan, Let’s Elope (1)

Since those old men said it, whoever works the fastest and makes the most profit wins.

Two conditions, speed and profit.

If the pursuit of speed is devoid of profit, it’s not at all making money. Similarly, time is money, and if you blindly chase profit without regard for speed, a project can drag on to an indefinite future, and in that time, just the changes in monetary policy can devour any profit you initially budgeted, leaving nothing behind.

A smart businessperson knows that you cannot have the best of both worlds; hence, if one must be sacrificed, which should it be, the former or the latter?

This seems like a question that will never have a correct answer. Some successful investors have projects that only bear fruit after more than a decade, and the investment in high technology is like a bottomless pit, perhaps undecipherable within a lifetime. Therefore, domestic investors prefer speed, to see quick results, to recoup funds quickly, and to reinvest, creating an impact and influence that has led to the current state of affairs in China, a blind pursuit of extravagant profits. It seems that talking about quality and brand is less important than the money itself.

Foreigners appear to have already moved past the bewildering phase that Chinese investors are stuck in. To them, money is seen as something that can be taken or left, with dreams and ideals holding more importance. Of course, this does not mean we can blame our fellow countrymen.

How can you compare domestic welfare with that abroad? In China, if you don’t work, you’re left to deal with the harsh realities, while abroad, even the jobless have food to eat. Plainly speaking, the state of mind for Chinese people is still one of hunger for money that has yet to be sated. Hence, we have the highest savings rate in the world. No one dares to spend money without a sense of security.

Don’t think that this is only a problem for the ordinary people; it affects all investors, all those with assets. As long as they are Chinese, they inevitably must face this hurdle, a hurdle that causes angst among all Chinese.

"What do you think is the most difficult problem to solve in a project, money or something else?"

Zhong Qiaohui and Fu Yubo were both stunned. They had never encountered a boss like this before. Generally speaking, when discussing a project within a company, isn’t it started by discussing the project itself?

Was this notorious playboy truly knowledgeable, or did he not have a clue and was only boasting?

"This—" Fu Yubo folded his hands on the desk, his expression slightly somber, and said, "Money should be the most difficult problem encountered in all projects."

The others seemed to understand the implication of his words; having previously worked in the finance department, he should know the company’s financial situation best. Finance is the core department of any company; every department is connected to finance. In the finance department, Fu Yubo had probably seen the final over outcome of all those failed projects.

When it comes to company procedures, some might not understand. Finance is the last barrier, the final hurdle, because everything ultimately requires money. No matter how good or OK a project plan is, if finance doesn’t give the OK, it’s all in vain. Those in the know have grown numb watching projects die at this final, hellish gate of finance, which are as numerous as hairs on an ox.

Are those in finance always unreasonable? Not necessarily. Like the previous Mingyue, wasn’t she also criticized by countless people before Xiao Jianming finally approved?

After all is said and done, the key lies in who holds the purse strings.

Therefore, Fu Yubo’s words undoubtedly prompted a burst of quiet laughter from Xiao Yebai.

Fu Yubo and Zhong Qiaohui both wore a tense expression, feeling unprecedented pressure. This young boss, who had a terrible reputation in the rumors, did not seem to be what they were expecting—
