Chapter 266: Chapter 190 Friendship Investment_2

"Oh, I dare not claim the honor of being the pride of domestic products compared to everyone present here," Mr. Bao said with a wave of his hand and a smile.

Idol Electric Cars?

Isn’t this the very e-bike I bought? What a coincidence! Today, I actually met the founder!

But your name isn’t on the list, could it be... phased out by history?

"This gentleman is Mr. Qu, a professional film investor, and he’s definitely a big financier!"

"Ha-ha! Mr. Hu, you’re teasing me again." Mr. Qu, who was rather plump, had the appearance of a jolly Buddha.

The other three women, one of whom I had seen before, was Yifei’s girlfriend, with her big wavy hair.

The other two were the female companions that Mr. Bao and Mr. Qu brought with them.

Many were curiously sizing up Meng Lang.

Meng Lang might not have been aware, but everyone present was shrewd.

If he were just a small fry looking to mingle, Yifei would have likely introduced him simply as "Mr. Liu," "Mr. Yu," or "Mr. Bao," and nothing more.

He certainly wouldn’t go to the trouble of detailing each person’s identity and industry.

This alone was enough to prove the certain "regard" Yifei had for Meng Lang.

Who is Yifei? The fact that he gave such a detailed introduction meant either his "senior sister" had significant clout, or the other party was no ordinary person...

Brother Dong and Mr. Yu appeared to be of higher status and didn’t pay much attention to Meng Lang, an attendee who joined midway. After introducing him, they continued their own networking conversations.

Yifei, on the other hand, was chatting with Mr. Qu.

It was Mr. Bao who seemed to be somewhat interested in Meng Lang and began probing with a question.

"Mr. Meng seems unfamiliar. May I ask which industry you lead?"

Meng Lang didn’t have a single brand-name item on him, completely lacking the aura of a "successful person," almost too low-profile.

"Oh! My main business is insurance, and I have multiple side businesses. But to talk of being a leader, I’m just an unknown person."

"Insurance? That’s a heavy-asset field, delighted to meet you! Delighted to meet you!"

Yan Weiwei almost couldn’t hold back her laughter upon hearing this.

Seeing that Meng Lang didn’t seem interested in chatting further, Mr. Bao’s expression soured slightly, but he maintained his poise at this gathering and soon joined another discussion group with Yifei.

"So, what do you think? Aren’t these people enough for your career to take off?" Weiwei nudged his arm.

Take off with an insurance career?

If I could, I would love to lead such a simple life too...

"Enough perhaps, but do you expect me, a mere salesman, to sell insurance to these tycoons? What would I sell? Personal accident? Property protection?

I don’t mind, but I fear that as soon as I open my mouth, others might think Mr. Hu is soliciting bribes!"

"Pfft!" Weiwei was amused but quickly composed herself.

"Can’t you think about doing something other than insurance? Internet, electronic communications, new energy—all these are booming industries, not to mention the entertainment industry. Wouldn’t that be better than selling insurance?

Those two big shots over there are a bit far-fetched for me. In front of them, my junior brother is just there for company. But I think Mr. Bao is a better choice.

Even selling cars would be better than selling insurance, right? It’s a hot track!"

"So, you think I should change jobs?" Meng Lang suddenly understood.

"I believe, with your capabilities, it’s something you could definitely consider!"

"Do you rate me so highly?" Meng Lang asked, with his focus slightly askew.

Weiwei rolled her eyes.

"Hmph! Anyway, I’ve given you the opportunity. It’s up to you to seize it."

After saying this, Weiwei didn’t bother with Meng Lang anymore and turned to join Yifei’s chatting group, whispering to the woman with big wavy hair.

From time to time, the woman with big wavy hair pointed at Meng Lang as if teasing something but reined it in under Weiwei’s stern gaze.

The other female companions were the life of the party, singing from time to time to warm up the atmosphere and enliven the mood.

In the private room, with several small groups, the conversations all revolved around business deals, casually mentioning deals worth billions...

Brother Dong and Mr. Yu had higher status, discussing the recent conflicts between great powers. Another group seemed to be talking about investing in car manufacturing, making movies, and other "profitable" enterprises.

Meng Lang didn’t pay attention to these conversations, which might be called "wealth codes," his mind still pondering the hidden clues "he" left for himself.

Life is full of choices, and each choice is like a fork in the long road of existence, intricately influencing one’s entire life...

This saying applies to oneself as well as to others.

The last brother in the book had clearly and distinctly informed himself of the "intricacies" that affect certain key figures!

Is this... meant to help me expand my network?

It has to be said that most of the people present are leaders in their respective industries, individuals whose every footstep can shake their fields three times over.

If the game of fates were compared to a chessboard, then these people are the board’s "key pieces" with significant weight!

Influencing ordinary people might only change things locally, but influencing these people...

The flapping of my tiny butterfly wings could stir up massive corporations and conglomerates!

That would be the fate of not just tens of thousands of individuals but additionally tens of thousands of families...

If I could truly bind these people to my chariot, the significance would be tremendous!

A brother once drafted a "Research Alliance" strategic concept, but because he chose the wrong target, selecting "Chang Chun Biological," an "ancient pitfall," it led to a major life collapse.

However, the theory itself is sound; it’s purely a technical issue!

And unlike with Chang Chun Biological, which was a capitalist collaboration, this time it’s purely a "friendly investment," more secure on the safety front.

Perhaps the favor of these big shots could become my "fulcrum" to leverage destiny at a critical moment?

The next moment, the two-person circle discussing heroes over drinks became a trio, with me as their teacher.

"Erm..." X2

Brother Dong and Mr. Yu were momentarily stunned by Meng Lang, who had unceremoniously seated himself next to them.

If you want to mix in small circles, shouldn’t you be going elsewhere?

Ignoring the slightly astonished looks from the two, Meng Lang said with a smile.

"Regarding this conflict, I have some opinions, but I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to share them?"

Talking about international situations in front of two of the country’s top magnates?

Where on earth does your confidence come from?

You’ve already come all this way, and you still wonder if it’s appropriate to speak?

"Ha ha! Young brother, you also have opinions? Let’s hear them," Mr. Yu said with a smile and a nod, though his eyes held little agreement.

Perhaps in his view, it was a complete waste of time to argue about these issues with young people like Meng Lang, who love to show off, especially on topics that clearly cannot have immediate answers.

But Meng Lang’s next words stopped Mr. Yu in his tracks.

"Furthermore, I believe the current economic suppression is just the first step. Soon, they will turn their spears toward domestic high-tech companies.

Hua Wei, undoubtedly in the forefront, having started to shake up their information dominance in fields like end-user devices, 5G, and even chipsets...

The brighter your achievements, the fiercer their attacks will be.

Moreover, their methods are likely not limited to various conventional economic and technological sanctions but will be extremely drastic!"

Extremely drastic?

We think your ideas are already extreme enough!

Mr. Yu frowned slightly.

He wanted to rebuke that the other person was exaggerating dangers, but some of Mr. Ren’s strategies did coincide inexplicably with the opponent’s thoughts...

"This sounds pretty fresh. So, what exactly do you mean by ’extremely drastic’?" Brother Dong asked, intrigued.

"To use history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall.

History is always repeating itself, thus it has already revealed the truth to us.

There is a book called ’The Beautiful Country Trap’..."
