King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

"What is it?"

I looked at Song Guolong nervously.

"You won't let Dad buy up the Xiao family's stock at rock-bottom prices, fine..."

Song Guolong said meaningfully, "Dad can give you this face, but on the condition that you guarantee that you will personally hold 35% of the shares in the Xiao family within a year. Can you do that?"

"What?"

My eyes widened in shock: "Me? I... own 35% of the Xiao family's shares? Dad, are you kidding me? I have no relation to the Xiao family whatsoever, why would I own 35% of their shares?"

"Hmph! Why should I?"

Song Guolong sneered, "With your wisdom, courage, and cunning as a man! With your status as my son, Song Guolong!"

He paused, then continued, "When I was 21, I started my own business before even finishing university. I used your grandfather's savings for his funeral to invest in the stock market and finance. At first, it was incredibly difficult, but look at me now! More than 40 years have passed... and I've still built a business empire! Son, remember what I said: 10 years can accomplish something great, 20 years can create a miracle, 30 years... enough to write a legend!"

"Capital... is the most sensitive specter in the world. It is cowardly and timid, despicable and vile, it chooses the virtuous and bullies the weak and fears the strong, but it is also the fairest dealer!"

Song Guolong took a light puff of his cigar and pondered, "It's not like some social resources, such as power or monopolistic assets. The spread of those is more like the spread of AIDS, which can only be transmitted among people through mother-to-child blood and sexual relationships... But capital, its spread relies on wisdom and courage. People with high IQs will be chosen by capital and become the winners on the chessboard! As for those with low IQs, even if you give them capital, they can't hold onto it! It's like how the US harvested Japan and Southeast Asia. First, it raised interest rates to bring capital back, causing the good companies in these countries to perform poorly and their stocks to plummet... Then it spent huge sums to buy up these good companies at rock-bottom prices, directly turning these countries into its blood banks forever..."

"So... Dad, you're playing the same game with the Xiao family?" I asked, frowning.

"Hahaha!"

Song Guolong laughed loudly, "Kid! Look... even you understand such a simple principle, but Xiao Zhenjiang, an old hand, can't. Why do you think that is?"

"this.......?"

I frowned and said, "Perhaps... it's not that he doesn't understand, but rather that even if he did, there's nothing he could do about it?"

"Hmph...you overestimate him!"

Song Guolong shook his head with a sinister smile: "The most terrifying thing about people is being blinded by greed, what's called being blinded by profit! Doesn't it say this very clearly in 'Capital'? If there's a 10% profit, capital will be used everywhere; if there's a 20% profit, it will become active; and with a 50% profit? It will dare to take risks... If there's a 100% profit, it will dare to trample on all human laws; as for 300%..."

"Dad, I know this part..."

I frowned at him: "So... what percentage of profit did you make on the carrots you offered Xiao Zhenjiang?"

"Giggle giggle!"

Song Guolong looked at me slyly and smiled, "70%! Kid... you really have a talent for this. Communicating with you is effortless. Remember this! In the future, no matter what business you do, if the profit margin exceeds 50%, it's definitely a scam, a way to fool you! Even if it's not a scam, it's unsustainable. Be careful, be very careful!"

He paused, then continued, "Xiao Zhenjiang just doesn't understand this principle... He always thinks it's still 20 years old, that as long as you're bold and lucky, you can gamble and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle... In reality, in the capital market, luck is always a secondary factor. The most important thing is always precise calculation and long-term wisdom... People who still hold onto the idea of ​​relying on luck, no matter how senior they are, are simply not fit for the task!"

Seeing my furrowed brow and deep thought, Song Guolong patted my shoulder again: "Like father, like son. Consider this 100 billion... your tuition fee. I'll let the Xiao family off this time, but a year from now, you must acquire 35% of the Xiao family's shares, understand?"

"Um!"

I frowned and nodded...

Actually, I helped the Xiao family not because Xiao Xuan and Xiao Ran had that kind of relationship with me... but because I was using Xiao Xuan as my last resort!

This woman, whom I've never met before, is actually willing to give me 750 million to help me escape?

But this did her no good at all...

So if one day I'm desperate, Xiao Xuan will definitely still help me!

But if the Xiao family is gone... then this last hope will also be gone!

This is my original motivation for helping the Xiao family!

As for acquiring a 35% stake in the Xiao family...

For me, it's really not a matter of "taking advantage of someone's misfortune"!

There is absolutely no moral or ethical deficiency involved!

Originally, investing in a business is about many hands making light work, and earning a living based on one's own abilities...

I won't take 35% of the shares, but the other shareholders want to take them too. It all depends on whether I have the ability to do so!

"Dad... there's one more thing I want to ask you!"

I looked at Song Guolong with a sincere expression, almost pleading with him.

"What is it now, you brat?" Song Guolong laughed.

"Dad! Please help my eldest sister, find her a boyfriend... She's so pitiful! She's already 42 years old..."

I said sadly, "You can't let your wife keep controlling her like this. There are many things... that money can't buy. Seeing my sister cry really breaks my heart... You know so many business elites and successful people, find one for her..."

"Good boy!"

Song Guolong patted him on the shoulder and sighed deeply, "How could I not want to? It's just... there are some things going on at home, and I have my own difficulties! But don't worry, I'm even more anxious about this than you are! I'll keep an eye on things!"

"Dad! It's not a matter of being careful! My eldest sister is already 42!"

I pleaded again, "As long as you can find my older sister a good husband, I'll listen to you in everything! You say east, I won't say west; you point at a dog, I won't hit a chicken! I'll do anything you ask!"

"puff!"

Song Guolong laughed and said, "You said that?"

"Yes! I said it!"

I nodded seriously...

"OK!"

Song Guolong smiled and said, "Then about your marriage with Hu Zhaohua..."

"dad!"

I looked at Song Guolong seriously and said, "As long as you can get my eldest sister married off first! I'll seriously consider Miss Hu's situation, but I'm only 26 this year, and it's too early to talk about many things! Can you give me a guarantee? Get my eldest sister married off within six months! After that, we can talk about anything!"

"Hahaha!"

Song Guolong laughed heartily, "Alright! Dad will take your bet! But... let's get this straight! I've settled your older sister's marriage, so from now on... you have to listen to me in everything, and you're not allowed to talk back to Dad or argue with me anymore!"

"good......"

"Alright, it's getting late, let's head back!"

......

In our conversation today, Song Guolong was initially evasive... talking about things like adopted son and foster father.

But later on, he called me "son" so affectionately, saying things like "because you are my son, Song Guolong's son," and that the 100 billion was for my tuition and to help me grow... It seems he has forgotten that their true relationship has not yet been made public!

I don't really understand why Song Guolong is unwilling to admit in private that I am his son.

Could it be... that he's afraid I'll become attached to him?

Does he think that if I knew I was his biological child, I could rightfully and justifiably demand it, and then put him in a very passive position?

He really underestimates me!

After returning to Qinglong Residence, it was almost one o'clock in the morning...

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Song Huazhao and Hongman, who were drinking tea and seemed to have been waiting for me.

Upon seeing me, Song Huazhao giggled and got up to walk over...

"Xiao Cheng!"

Song Huazhao laughed and said, "Second Sister really has to thank you today! What? Are you really angry with Second Sister? And you want to give this card back to me?"

After saying that, she put the black card I had given back to Hongman back into my pocket, then took my hand in hers... and said with a pained expression, "Tsk tsk, does it hurt? I'm sorry, Second Sister didn't mean it..."

I frowned and pulled my hand back, annoyed. "Second sister, you're going to drive me crazy! Since it's a script, you'd better follow it. Why add so much unnecessary drama? And the knife-wielding!"

"Giggle giggle!"

Song Huazhao laughed, "Second Sister was just improvising, but... the effect was pretty good! My mother has agreed not to interfere with my marriage anymore, and Third Sister Hua Yao is free now... After all this commotion today, we've completely silenced my mother!"

"snort!"

I sneered, "You're free now! But what about me and my older sister? We've become the biggest victims. You took advantage of my sister's kindness and sincerity; she was deceived so badly..."

"Alright, alright! Stop being so dramatic! Come on!"

As Song Huazhao spoke, he pulled out an agreement: "Xiao Cheng, come and sign this; consider it a reward for you!"

"award?"

I stared at the agreement and carefully read its contents, and I was completely dumbfounded!
