Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Boss Pei’s investments: stable, accurate, ruthless, and irregular!

Boss Pei could often see investment opportunities in unreliable projects.
He would not hesitate to plunge huge sums of investment once he identified them.

It had been proven that the projects that Boss Pei chose were all profitable!

This project was just in its elementary stage now; why is Boss Pei hinting that it has a high probability of failure?

Could this project be something that even Boss Pei is not optimistic about? Why would Boss Pei invest in this project in that case? Did he really want to make it a charity?

Impossible.
Why didn’t Boss Pei just donate money to charity if he really wanted to do that? Why beat around the bush?

He Desheng fell into a state of confusion.
He felt that there must be some deep meaning behind Boss Pei’s abnormal behavior.

Suddenly, inspiration struck him!

Boss Pei seems to be hinting me! He seems to imply that this project has innate flaws that will definitely fail in the end.
Boss Pei is far-sighted so this judgment is probably correct.

If that’s the case, what should I be doing as an investor?

… find a way to cash out at a high point!

He Desheng nodded, understanding instantly.
“I understand, Boss Pei!”

He did not explain clearly because such matters should not be said explicitly.
It was just like how Boss Pei was hinting now.
It was impossible to speak so straightforwardly.

“Do you really understand what I mean?” Pei Qian asked with suspicion.

He Desheng laughed.
“Don’t worry, Boss Pei.
I’m not a three-year-old.
What kind of understanding is necessary for such a simple sentence?”

Pei Qian resonated deeply with this sentence.

Yeah, even a three-year-old can understand what I mean.
Why would I need to explain? Why do the others always understand it wrongly then?

What a bother!

Pei Qian felt slight relief, seeing He Desheng act this way.
“Don’t follow Zhang Wang in his shared phone booth project anymore.
Focus on this shared top student project.

“Right, I think the name Shared Top Student is not appropriate.

“I think it’s better to call it ‘Top student, come quick app’.”

COI

Pei Qian was worried that this ‘shared’ concept would be targeted by some other investment institutions with ulterior motives.
It would be troublesome if it became a hot investment opportunity.

Changing it to ‘top student, come quick’ hinted at it being a joke.
No other investment institutions would come and mess things up, right?

Zhongdian Chinese Network…

After two days of arrangement, the list of the first batch of students had been finalized.
Preliminary work was mostly done.

Ma Yiqun got Zhu Xingan, the current editor-in-chief, to contact the middle and higher authorities of this website to let them sign up on their own.
The list was finally produced after the website was screened.

The authors of the first training course were relatively young, judging from the list.
They were all under 25 years old.

That was partly because the older authors were often established in their work and family.
They generally had matters at home and could not be able to travel to Jingzhou alone.
Another reason was that the website selected younger authors.

There were a basic salary, five social insurances and one fund, and the opportunity to interact with other authors.
These authors were worth looking forward to.

January 18th, Thursday…

Huanyu Tianjie shopping mall…

Zhang Wang brought everything he bought to the shared phone booth and installed them one by one.
He was at rest during the time when Ruan Guangjian was painting the skin of the phone booth.

It was all thanks to the help of He Desheng and his gang.
They had new tasks soon after, but things at the phone booth were fortunately more or less done.

Most of the things in the phone booth were there, including the coffee machine, jukeboxes, capsule machine, weighing scale, AED, etc.
They were all there.

These were fixtures in the phone booth which could not be removed.

It was in a big shopping mall.
Zhang Wang had spoken to the cinema staff and the clerk at the drink shop who had the phone booth in their line of sight.
They would be able to keep an eye on the phone booth at all times.

Moreover, there were surveillance cameras at the entrance of the phone booth and the cinema.
Anyone deliberately sabotaging the phone booth would be caught in minutes.

These devices had undergone basic simple modifications.

Take the beverage machine as an example.
Zhang Wang purchased a commercial multifunctional beverage machine that supported payment by both QR code scanning and coin insertion.
This machine also has an automatic cup drop function that would be cleaned automatically.
The machine would prompt if there was no paper cup or water.
Zhang Wang had also spoken to the staff of the shopping mall to regularly replace the paper cups, pure water buckets, cleaning machines and to clean it regularly.
Such a set of procedures would not take long.

The jukebox could be used at will after the customer scanned the QR code to enter.
However, the drinks machine would only give him free drinks twice.
If they wanted more, they would have to either scan the QR code or to insert coins.

It was the same principle with the capsule machine.
Pay more if you want more capsules.

In addition, the stamp of Modest the Guardian of Justice was on the right, just under the retro phone.
Zhang Wang nodded in satisfaction after everything was done up properly.
Humph, now this is the complete shared phone booth!

The entire phone booth was packed from top to bottom with stuff.
There was a phone, a small scrolling display, a beverage machine, a jukebox, a capsule machine, a three-port charger, Wi-Fi, foldable seats, AED, weighing scale… blood pressure monitor…

In short, the layout was very reasonable.
There was basically no space wasted, and yet it would not make the customers feel cramped up.

Zhang Wang checked if all the equipment was properly arranged; everything was functioning normally before he closed the door.

The mural of Modest, the Guardian of Justice at the front had a look of confidence as if to hint that this shared phone booth would definitely succeed!

Zhang Wang was very satisfied.
The shared phone booth was finally ready to be officially put out there for users to experience!
