C168 (1/2)
Uncle Chang looked at me calmly, and said indifferently, ”Actually, if you are willing, just with those things, you will be rich for the rest of your life. How is it?
I thought for a moment, then shook my head and said, ”I don't think so. The more people know, the less safe they will be.”
The smile on Uncle Chang's face became even wider, and he said: ”You're really getting more careful, but this is also good, I have an investment here that I'm not sure if you're interested in?”
I looked at Uncle Chang in astonishment and asked puzzledly, ”Uncle Chang, what you are doing is big business, this little thing doesn't enter your eyes?”
Uncle Chang curled his lips and said, ”This is only a venture capital investment, although I do not know what exactly you want, but I know your brat's goal, have you found your cousin yet?”
Hearing Uncle Chang's words, my face couldn't help but turn serious as I stared at him. How could he know? I've never told anyone about this, not even Tick and Cheng.
Seeing me like that, the Uncle Chang remained calm, and said slowly: ”Don't be nervous, a few years ago you were looking for people so openly, as long as you check casually, you will know, this kind of thing can't be hidden from too many people, tell me, what are you planning to do?”
Hearing Uncle Chang's words, I remembered that a few years ago, I was indeed bewitched. Other than the necessary living expenses, I invested every month's money into the newspaper.
I hesitated for a moment before replying, ”Uncle Chang, I've only just started doing this and I don't know when I'll be able to finish it. If you invest now, I really can't guarantee it!”
Uncle Chang said unhurriedly: I already said that it's a venture capital, I don't care much about whether it will bear fruit or not, but if it does, the profits are enough to make me crazy. I don't want much, 30% of the shares, a million yuan, this price, if you want to complete that, you must have a lot of money, and this 30 million is enough for you to complete the preparations for the early stage.
I was stunned for a moment. I didn't think that Uncle Chang would look at such a thing like this. I bitterly smiled.
”Now is the 21st century, technology is the most important thing. From your research, I can roughly deduce the value of that thing. If you really succeed, I will not only take back 30 million, but also a few more zeros!” Saying this, Uncle Chang's face revealed a strong sense of confidence. Seeing the confidence on his face made me feel as if I would succeed.
”Uncle Chang, if that's the case, wouldn't I lose a lot of money? The profit in here is more than a hundred times more than what I lost!” I don't know why, but all of a sudden, I feel like my research will succeed. Just as the Uncle Chang had said, once this item succeeded, its value would not be as simple as just tens of millions.
Uncle Chang's expression was still calm, and he said indifferently: ”So this is only the initial stage, once your research results show results, we can discuss about the subsequent investments, but I have a request, unless I do not agree to continue investing.”
I thought for a moment and took out the cigarette I had in my pocket. Just as I was about to light it up, Uncle Chang threw me a pack of cigarettes and said, ”Smoke this.
I didn't hold back and directly lit one. The smell of tobacco and alcohol filled my lungs, and my spirits rose. Indeed, it was special. It was many times better than those cigarettes on the market.
Even when the nanny came to tell us we could eat, I still hadn't thought it through. Uncle Chang didn't bring up this matter again, giving me enough time to think about it. At the dining table, Uncle Chang did not talk about the things that happened before. He merely followed Ling Ling and Tick and told them about the interesting things that happened in the business world.
Although it was just a common table full of dishes, each and every dish was a top grade dish that only the head chef of a hotel with Five Stars could make. Tick and I felt that these dishes were pretty good, but Ling Ling only moved his chopsticks a few times before putting them aside and not eating. As expected of people from rich families, they were already used to eating such dishes. For people like Ling Ling, the most delicious were the flavors from rich families.
It was already past ten in the night, and tomorrow was Sunday. Ling Ling would definitely make Tick stay here for the night, and they would meet up at school tomorrow.
Unable to endure Ling Ling's pleas, under her helplessness, Tick glanced at me. Her meaning was extremely obvious. I bitterly smiled. I didn't expect that I would be the only one to return in the end.
The Uncle Chang escorted me to the entrance of the villa. I knew that he only wanted me to give him my final reply.
