Chapter 38: Chapter 38: We Can Still Handle Tens of Millions More

"KNOCK KNOCK."

There was a knock on the office door.

A middle-aged man’s voice called from inside.

"Come in."

The man pushed open the door and walked inside.

A middle-aged man in a suit sat at a desk, processing documents. He looked up.

"Old Wang, go ahead. Tell me what those kids were up to today."

The middle-aged man at the desk said with a smile upon seeing him.

"Yes, President Yang."

"Today, the kids did the same as always. They went shopping at the mall first, then they went to the Peace Imperial Banquet."

"However, one thing was different today."

"After Qiniang came out of the Peace Imperial Banquet, he kept going on about starting a company."

"He even wants to poach people from under you, President Yang."

"Start a company?"

The middle-aged man, who had seemed unconcerned, immediately stood up and walked over upon hearing this.

If Lin Feng were here, he would have recognized them as Yang Tianming and his driver, Uncle Wang.

"Have a seat."

Yang Tianming came over, sat on the sofa, and gestured for Uncle Wang to sit as well.

Once Uncle Wang was seated, Yang Tianming continued, "Tell me in detail. What kind of company does that kid want to start?"

Uncle Wang nodded, then said as he recalled, "Qiniang wants to start a securities investment firm."

"But it seems he’s serious about getting it off the ground this time."

"Because he’s already thinking about how to poach your people, President Yang."

Hearing Old Wang’s words, Yang Tianming couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Poach my people?"

’That kid really overestimates himself, doesn’t he?’

If anyone else had been thinking of poaching his people,

Yang Tianming would have probably started planning a counterattack long ago.

But since it was his own son, Yang Tianming was actually filled with anticipation.

He wanted to see what methods Yang Qiniang would use to lure his people away.

As Yang Tianming’s personal driver, Old Wang naturally knew what his boss was thinking.

"Not only that, the young master has decided to invest the entire one million he has."

Old Wang then shared another piece of news that surprised even Yang Tianming.

"The one million he and Qingqing have?"

"That can’t be right. With that kid’s personality, he has to think twice about spending even two thousand. How could he possibly invest a million all at once?"

"And Qingqing didn’t even try to stop him this time?"

Yang Tianming suddenly felt that his son and daughter had started to become strangers to him since they went to college.

How long has it been, and Yang Qiniang is already thinking of starting a company?

And Yang Qingqing didn’t try to stop him.

’Interesting.’

"Do you know why they want to start this company?"

Yang Tianming poured two glasses of water, handing one to Uncle Wang.

"Thank you, President Yang."

Uncle Wang quickly accepted it with both hands.

"I’m not entirely sure about the specific reason."

"But I heard the young master say that the company seems to be for his roommate, that Lin Feng kid."

"And that Lin Feng also said that once the company is up and running, he can train the key employees."

"He said the annual rate of return can reach at least ten percent."

After all, Uncle Wang had been with Yang Tianming for many years.

Even without formally studying finance, he had picked up a thing or two just by being around it.

"A ten percent annual rate of return?"

Yang Tianming’s brow furrowed slightly.

He knew perfectly well what a ten percent annual rate of return meant.

And he knew just how difficult it was to achieve.

Countless people who had struggled in the financial markets for years wouldn’t dare make such a claim.

But Lin Feng said it?

"Yes, President Yang."

"Furthermore, Qiniang and his friends aim to attract about ninety million in client funds."

"Combined with their own capital, they’ll barely touch the one-hundred-million threshold without actually crossing it."

Uncle Wang naturally told Yang Tianming everything he knew.

Even though he also found the whole affair utterly absurd.

Yang Tianming was momentarily stunned by Uncle Wang’s words, but he quickly burst into laughter.

"Good, good, good. I never expected those kids to be so ambitious."

"Setting a ’small goal’ for themselves right from the start."

’How interesting.’

Yang Tianming raised his teacup for a small sip, a smile still playing on his lips.

"President Yang, you’re not going to stop Qiniang?"

Seeing that Yang Tianming’s face held not a trace of anger but was instead filled with gratification, Uncle Wang couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

In his eyes, this venture of Yang Qiniang’s was almost certainly doomed to fail.

"Stop him? Why would I stop him?"

Yang Tianming set down his teacup, then rose and walked to the window.

He gazed through the massive floor-to-ceiling window at the neon lights and the stream of traffic below.

"My original plan was to use his allowance to help Qiniang develop a habit of managing money."

"Then, when he became a junior, I’d let him get involved in the company’s affairs."

"By his senior year, he would officially start an internship at the company."

"That would have been the safe route, but it’s too slow for him to truly grow."

"I never expected this."

"A single Lin Feng has changed Qiniang so much."

"He’s already planning to start a company this early, and even wants to poach my staff?"

"So I don’t plan on stopping him. In fact, I’m going to help him."

"If he wants to poach people, then let him poach."

"Once his company is actually up and running, I’ll even give him twenty million to serve as client funds."

"What?"

Uncle Wang, still sitting on the sofa, heard this and couldn’t help but ask in astonishment, "President Yang, you must know..."

"Qiniang’s company is basically guaranteed to go bankrupt."

"They have no real experience starting a company, and they’re all still students..."

"I know."

Uncle Wang was about to say more, but Yang Tianming cut him off.

"This is the first time the kid has ever had an ambition like this. I have to support him."

"Besides, so what if he loses money?"

"As long as it’s not revealed that the funds came from me,"

"then after he suffers losses and goes bankrupt, he’ll definitely start to do some serious self-reflection."

"If twenty million can make Qiniang mature,"

"Old Wang, do you think that’s a bad deal?"

Yang Tianming turned to look at Uncle Wang, asking with a smile.

Uncle Wang fell silent.

’Twenty million in exchange for one person’s growth?’

To an ordinary person, it would seem absolutely insane.

But for Yang Tianming,

Yang Qiniang was his future successor, destined to take over the entire group.

If he could use twenty million now to prevent a hot-headed, youthful Yang Qiniang from causing losses to their billion-dollar group in the future,

it was obvious that this was a deal with no downside.

"I understand, President Yang."

Uncle Wang was no fool; otherwise, he never would have become Yang Tianming’s driver.

’The people Yang Qiniang poaches aren’t important.’

’The twenty million isn’t important either.’

’Even that Lin Feng kid isn’t important.’

’What’s important is whether or not Yang Qiniang can grow from this experience.’

"Alright, you may go. Don’t mention any of this to Qiniang and his friends."

Yang Tianming waved his hand dismissively.

"Yes, President Yang."

After speaking, Uncle Wang rose and left the office.

But Yang Tianming remained standing at the window for a long time, unmoving.

"Lin Feng... I hope you won’t disappoint me,"

Yang Tianming murmured.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng, back in his dorm room, was oblivious to the conversation between Yang Tianming and Uncle Wang.

But even if he had known, he wouldn’t have cared.

With his system as a safety net, losing money was impossible.

If anything, he could handle another few tens of millions without breaking a sweat.
