"Mr. Kun, sorry to have kept you waiting."
"No worries, I've just co downstairs myself."
As Lu Liang arrived downstairs, he ran into ng Changkun and then planned to head to the parking lot to drive his car.
"Take my car, it's right at the door, so you don't have to worry about finding your way," ng Changkun suggested. He was dressed in shorts, a T-shirt, and sneakers, standing there with his belly out, chuckling, obviously in a good mood.
In comparison, Lu Liang seed a bit preoccupied, his thoughts dominated by the matter of the voice.
If it were just a one-ti opportunity, maybe he wouldn't be so anxious, considering it a lottery win.
But having experienced it twice, first becoming a multi-millionaire and then doubling his wealth,
that kind of feeling was too good to quit; he wasn't prepared for the thought of the voice disappearing.
"Lu?" ng Changkun's reminder snapped Lu Liang out of his thoughts. "Mr. Kun, your plan sounds good to ."
ng Changkun led Lu Liang to the western gate of the complex, where a black Maybach was parked by the road.
"Little Liu, to the Land King Building." Once seated in the back, ng Changkun greeted the driver.
He looked at Lu Liang, "Are you feeling alright? You seem off today."
"Just thinking about work, but it's nothing major." Lu Liang exhaled and his smile returned.
Back when he had nothing, he managed to settle down in Modu; having over twenty million in cash now, he could retire in a small city if need be.
"Bro, I still don't know what you do for a living?" ng Changkun asked curiously.
"Nothing much recently, just trading so stocks, studying the markets," Lu Liang casually revealed.
"You're quite the dark horse, anyone in finance is a big shot," ng Changkun was surprised.
He had thought of many industries but never imagined that Lu Liang was a full-ti financial speculator.
In all industries, finance was the pinnacle, directly or indirectly serving or targeting finance.
Whenever society gets a new trend, the financial markets are always the first to respond.
But this field is deep and treacherous. ng Changkun himself had previously invested millions, nearly losing everything.
Eventually, he stuck with venture capital, investing hundreds of thousands or millions in startups.
Though many failed, just one success could result in flipping shares for tens or hundreds of millions.
"Mr. Kun is teasing , I'm no big shot, just picking up leftovers behind the real players."
Lu Liang was being realistic; he was at most a large account holder but just a minnow before the true sharks.
"Don't sell yourself short, everyone starts small."
ng Changkun chuckled, yet kept watchful, steering away from delving too deep into this topic.
The finance world was complex not only due to intricate play but also due to swindlers that ran rampant.
ng Changkun knew of several such real-life examples; a Friend of his t soone claiming to be a financial speculator.
At first, this person guided his Friend to trade stocks in smaller exchanges, where each stock only had a market cap of a few hundred million, and a few hundred thousand or even tens of thousands could sway the market.
The manipulators only needed to bait a few 'suckers' and spend a bit of money to move the market, giving them a taste of success before luring them into offshore financing or private placents.
Once private placents were involved, profit and loss beca nothing but numbers changed at the whim of the manipulator's fingers.
Even if you could make a million in a day from ten thousand, if that money can't be withdrawn, it's just fake numbers.
His Friend was conned out of tens of millions, half of it company money, and ended up having to sell his properties and borrow money just to avoid jail.
The stolen money, of course, was unrecoverable, as the servers and the core group behind these sches were based abroad.
"Mr. Kun, what's the na of the film today?"
Lu Liang noticed that ng Changkun was on guard.
It's human nature, after all, pies don't fall from the sky, but pitfalls can appear on the ground at any ti.
If soone introduces a surefire business deal, you should reflect on why they approached you. Do they not have relatives or friends? Why would they leave this money-making opportunity for you?
ng Changkun thought for a while, "Seems like I heard Old Wu ntion it, it's called 'Disc Immortal Battle Pen Immortal'. Yeah, that's the na."
"..." Lu Liang was speechless, blinked, "Just by hearing the na, you know there will be lots of beautiful won."
ng Changkun laughed heartily, "That's for sure, otherwise, why would we bother going?"
He added, "But the leading lady, secondary lead actress, and leading man have already been decided. The main auditions are for the third and fourth female roles."
Lu Liang suddenly asked, "Those who were decided, whose kids are they, or whose lovers?"
"Cough cough~ Lu, don't put it so bluntly," ng Changkun replied with an embarrassed look and a sowhat unnatural smile.
Lu Liang showed a knowing smile that all n understand, "The leading lady, or the secondary lead actress?"
ng Changkun smirked, "The secondary lead actress, graduated from the arts college last year. So young, and what a figure."
Just by the na of the movie, it was clear it would flop. If it wasn't for promoting his little lover, he wouldn't bother investing a penny.
Lu Liang showed an admiring face, "Brother, you really know how to play the ga."
"When the ti cos, I'll let you pick out a few scripts too. These young girls nowadays are very 'dedicated' for a chance to appear on the big screen."
ng Changkun smirked with an experienced air, "Everyone knows that being a star is great, you're the center of attention, and the money cos quickly."
"But with so many art schools all over the country, being beautiful with a good figure is just the basic requirent."
"If you have no network or connections and are not willing to 'work hard,' how can you catch our eye?"
"The key point is, we don't have to spend our own money."
Lu Liang was puzzled, "What do you an by that?"
ng Changkun explained, "Investing in movies is a business act; you don't think I would pay out of my own pocket, do you?"
"Understood," Lu Liang realized, it's just like buying cars, houses, and airplanes in the na of the company.
Enjoying oneself while the company foots the bill.
At ten in the morning, the two arrived on the 16th floor of the Land King Building, Good Dream Production Co., Ltd.
Just stepping out of the elevator, they saw a sea of fair-skinned long legs and surging cleavages.
More than twenty young and beautiful girls with an average age of about twenty gave Lu Liang the impression he had entered a high-end private club.
"Mr. Wu Tianzheng, the general manager of Good Dream, Lu Liang, my friend."
ng Changkun introduced calmly; it was not difficult to see that he was on the more dominant side of the relationship with Wu Tianzheng.
Wu Tianzheng was all smiles, "Boss Lu, hello, just call Little Wu."
He understood ng Changkun well; he heard that ng was already a billionaire ten years ago, so his friends must be no ordinary people.
In the entertainnt industry, the more investors you know, the more powerful you are, and Wu Tianzheng was very deferential in his posture.
"Mr. Wu, hello, I'm just accompanying Mr. Kun to have a look. You can carry on with your work; don't mind ," Lu Liang said.
"Old Wu, Lu seems to be a bit interested. Later on, give him a list of movies seeking investnt to check out."
ng Changkun was intentionally testing Lu Liang's depth. If he was all show no substance, or the type of swindler he suspected, naturally he wouldn't invest, nor would he be worth cultivating a deep relationship with.
"Of course, of course, Boss Lu, please have a seat while I go get the materials," Wu Tianzheng's old face bead with joy.
This is a Daddy Warbucks; he knew it, getting to know more wealthy people indeed had its perks.
