Chapter 713: 708 Jin Zi Pyramid Apex

Translation:

Not to mention anything else, but just the idea I’ve just mentioned is simply too absurd for them.

It even gives the impression that Gu Chen is too young, and that he is thinking about this matter far too simplistically.

To enter every industry and then to become the apex of that industry’s pyramid, how is that even possible?

"Boss Gu, although you have achieved some success now, you can’t be too proud. There are always people better than you, and there are higher mountains beyond the ones you see. When we enter an industry we are unfamiliar with, we have to take on significant risks,"

At this time, Li Yong spoke very seriously to Gu Chen, feeling that the proposal Gu Chen had just made was far too naive, even as if he were an ungrown child.

It’s not easy for an outsider to break into any industry and hope for a sudden career change.

"Boss Gu, let’s focus on taking care of the current matters at hand first.

As for whether or not we should enter other industries in the future, I think we might need to give it more thought and careful consideration.

After all, this isn’t something that can just be done by saying so, right?"

Old Yuan didn’t know what had gotten into Gu Chen, but he wasn’t going to support him now, thinking that Gu Chen’s move was far too risky.

He even believed that it was very possible, even before Qingyang Merchant Association made a move, that if Gu Chen carried on like this, it would be easy for him to bankrupt himself.

At this time, Old Yuan spoke to Gu Chen in this way, feeling that it was best to be cautious.

Although they didn’t support Gu Chen, the flame in his heart had not been extinguished.

Now Gu Chen was carefully studying the idea inside, was it feasible or not based on what he had just thought?

He felt it wasn’t without space for trying; after all, he had seen so many companies, and there were too many companies that hadn’t risen yet. If it really doesn’t work out, he might as well just replace them himself.

And if there ever came a day when he had companies in every industry, he would completely leap into another quantum realm.

At that point, what he would own wouldn’t just be money, but status as well.

Old Yuan and Li Yong thought that Gu Chen wanted to directly enter the pyramids of various industries, but in fact, Gu Chen wanted more than just the pyramid, he wanted to be the person on the tip of the pyramid.

Of course, he didn’t voice this thought, because he was well aware.

Even if he spoke it out loud, it would most likely be met with disbelief from both of them, so there was really no need to say it out loud; it was better kept to himself.

"Boss Gu, I will accompany you to the meeting tomorrow, so we can look out for each other." Just at that moment, Old Yuan suddenly offered to go with Gu Chen to the Qingyang Merchant Association.

Gu Chen was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Isn’t that a bit too troublesome for you?"

Gu Chen was actually a bit embarrassed to trouble Old Yuan, as Old Yuan had helped him so much over a long period.

Now, with Old Yuan accompanying him on a trip out of town, and the association clearly being a trap, if Old Yuan were to attend and draw attention, not only would they target Gu Chen but also suppress Old Yuan, and that would be more loss than gain for Old Yuan.

"Boss Gu, don’t say that. We share such a bond; I must help with this,"

At this time, Old Yuan was very sincere, as if ready to live and die together with Gu Chen.

Moved by this, Gu Chen’s heart was deeply touched.

"Alright then, let’s go together and give it a try. Although I’m not sure if it will work out, I believe nothing too problematic will arise," Gu Chen said to him.

"As they say, ’A tall tree catches the wind,’ but if you can weather this storm, Boss Gu, it will surely be beneficial for your future."

Li Yong was making this solemn promise to Gu Chen at that moment.

It seemed as if, once Gu Chen got through this, he would have everything from now on.

Having heard this, Gu Chen chuckled, but it was clear he didn’t take the matter too seriously.

"No matter what the future becomes, for now, we just need to work hard," he said.

Upon hearing this, they all nodded in agreement, as if they thoroughly approved of Gu Chen’s words.

In the time that followed, Li Yong discussed the situation of the Qingyang Merchant Association with Gu Chen.

Having listened to the entire process, Gu Chen felt that he had indeed gained a lot from it.

Although the people of the Qingyang Merchant Association weren’t all at the very top of the pyramid, they were all quite accomplished within their ranks.

Consequently, taking them on single-handedly was definitely not enough.

After this brief discussion, Gu Chen and Old Yuan also settled on a time.

They could go directly to Haicheng the next morning.

There would be no one else, just Gu Chen and Old Yuan.

Gu Chen had actually wanted to bring along his bodyguards,

But he was met with refusal from Old Yuan, who said those people would be of no use.

After all, once there, fighting wouldn’t be an option, and if it really came to blows, the two of them would not even be able to return.

Given that it would be the Qingyang Merchant Association’s home ground, they certainly couldn’t outnumber them, so it was better to just go with the flow.

After hearing Old Yuan’s reasoning, Gu Chen felt there was some truth to it—if it really came to a fight, having people around him seemed irrelevant.

One more person would just mean dragging another into the fire pit.

So, after thinking it over, he decided it would just be Old Yuan and himself going.

He didn’t know what the Qingyang Merchant Association’s attitude would be, but it was probably similar to what Li Yong had said—they just wanted to pull him into their ranks.

However, Gu Chen genuinely disliked the idea of joining a merchant association; their competitive methods repulsed him.

So, there was no way Gu Chen would join their association.

Moreover, Gu Chen had been investigating if he could establish a merchant association through his own efforts.

Therefore, collaborating with them was out of the question, even if the sky fell down.

In the afternoon, Gu Chen still contacted his supplier. He didn’t order a lot of alcohol, but he did preorder for seven days.

He feared that if something unexpected happened, this stock of alcohol could just about hold them over, and since selling alcohol was the same as making money, it wouldn’t be a loss in any case.

After all, his bar wouldn’t go bankrupt in just seven days.

Having bought a bunch of alcohol, Gu Chen also gave Old Zhang a call, instructing him to stock up more supplies recently.

The next day, Gu Chen and Old Yuan headed to the airport.
