Chapter 640: Chapter 670: Maybe
"Do you think business is that easy? That you can just decide not to lose money? If it were, then hell, I might as well not have paid for your education! You could have just stayed home and dreamed up a fortune!"
Shen Feng clenched his fists, his expression dark and terrifying.
It was Li Xiaomei, standing to the side, who couldn’t take it anymore. Her eyes red, she said, "Zhengfeng, the boy is just trying to build a career for himself. Why do you have to talk to him like that? Besides, the paint factory is about to go bankrupt and can’t even pay its workers. Why not let Xiao Feng make one last use of it? Maybe he’ll make a fortune!"
Shen Zhengfeng sneered. "All you know is giving shots and prescribing medicine. What do you know about business? You said it yourself—’maybe’ he’ll make money. What about ’maybe’ he’ll lose it all! If he loses everything this time, not only will our whole family be left with nothing to eat, but he and I might even end up in jail!"
Business was just too unpredictable.
Shen Zhengfeng knew that better than anyone.
A few years ago, his business ventures had been smooth sailing, with every deal turning a profit. But at some point, things started to go wrong.
He lost money on every venture, and accidents became frequent.
That year, there was nearly a major disaster at the paint factory.
As his financial losses mounted, his former business partners began to distance themselves. Shen Zhengfeng was getting older, but he had no choice but to force himself to attend dinner parties and business functions.
He knew all the old tricks, but it was much harder than when he was young and just starting out.
In reality, Shen Zhengfeng had known for a long time that after his divorce from Du Liya, the network of connections from the Du family had slowly been withdrawn.
Some people were cunning enough not to cut ties with him immediately, but they no longer offered him any help or gave him any favorable deals.
’It has to be Du Liya!’
’Du Liya must have told them to do this, that’s why they’re all slowly distancing themselves from him!’
’That woman is so petty. She’s already remarried and has another child, so why does she still resent him?’
’In the end, wasn’t their marriage just a matter of convenience for both of them?!’
The living room fell silent for a long time. Just then, Shen Feng spoke in a calm tone, "The electronics sector is a surefire way to make money. Shen Yi’s company made over a million last year."
"What?"
Over a million. In this day and age, that was a huge amount of income.
Li Xiaomei grew excited as well. She immediately said to Shen Zhengfeng, "See, Zhengfeng? Xiao Feng also graduated from a top university! He’s no less capable than Shen Yi. He’ll definitely make a fortune too!"
Shen Zhengfeng, who had been beaten down by business countless times, softened his expression slightly. "Xiao Feng, is the company you’re starting in the same field as Shen Yi’s?"
"Yes. It’s also in electronics R&D, focusing on telephones."
"Telephones?"
Shen Feng temporarily suppressed the resentment simmering in his heart. He said calmly, "That’s right. We’ll import technology from overseas. The products we develop will be far more advanced and easier to use than the current brick phones. Shen Yi’s company has already started mass production."
Shen Zhengfeng’s eyes lit up. "Is your company’s progress the same as theirs?"
"No. But... if he’s willing to guide me a little, then the rest of the company’s development will be no problem."
To put it bluntly, neither Shen Feng nor Lu Jiuan knew anyone overseas. They didn’t have the money to hire experts for their own R&D.
The best way was to take a shortcut through Shen Yi!
Shen Feng had already been shot down by Shen Yi and was ready to give up. But it was Lu Jiuan who said that if they could get through to Shen Yi, they could save themselves at least five years of hard work.
And they could catch up to Shen Yi in an instant!
