"Why?" Zhang Yansheng argued. "You've already agreed to this project."
The old lady said, "This has nothing to do with the project itself. It's because of you."
Zhang Yansheng looked at the old lady in surprise.
"Yanyan, this is your first investment in your life," the old lady said.
Zhang Yansheng felt that she understood. She said with certainty, "But Grandma, this movie project will really make money."
Zhang Yansheng was very confident.
How high was the return on investment for "Out of the Solar System"? It was said to be as high as 350%!
The old lady said, "If I thought it would lose money, I wouldn't have given you a single cent. Yanyan, do you think I'm afraid that your investment will fail and that you can't afford to lose? You're wrong. Compared to being unable to afford to lose, I'm more afraid that you won't be able to afford to win. I'm just afraid that your first investment will be too successful and you'll earn too much money. "
Zhang Yansheng was greatly surprised; he finally felt sleepy and confused.
The old lady wanted to say more, but her son held her arm. She looked back and saw Zhang Huan leaning forward to look at Zhang Yansheng. "Yanyan, you haven't really earned money yet, so you don't understand. Earning money is f * cking awesome!"
He actually said vulgar words in front of a child. The old lady hit him back and rebuked, "How can you say that?"
"Understand the spirit, understand the spirit." Zhang Huan said to the old lady with a smile, then looked at Zhang Yansheng. "You said that we're afraid that you'll lose money. Of course, you're right. It's your first investment, so of course we're worried that it will fail and lose too much money. It will damage your confidence and affect your future investment decisions. "
"But at the same time, we don't want you to make a huge profit on your first investment. Because making money is really exciting, especially you. You're still so young. If you make a huge profit on your first investment, the thrill will be so strong that it'll be like gambling. It might even suppress your rationality and give you the mentality of a gambler. This is worse than being unable to afford to lose. This is because mentality is an important factor when we make investment decisions. Every investment decision should be based on logic and not an impulsive decision made by the thrill of making money. "
Tears suddenly welled up in the old lady's eyes.
She put her fist to the tip of her nose and sniffed. "You still remember?"
"Oh, look at you." Zhang Huan pulled out a tissue and handed it to the old lady. "How can I not remember? Back then, when I made my first investment, Old Master and you brought me to the study and talked so much about it. How could I forget? "
The old lady blew her nose and sighed. "In the blink of an eye, it's your turn to tell Yanyan."
Zhang Huan also sighed. "That's right. I don't know where the time has gone … "
Zhang Yansheng's grandfather had passed away early, so Zhang Yansheng didn't have much of an impression of him. Naturally, he didn't have any feelings for him.
Her real age was 21, and she still hadn't reached the age where she would feel the passage of time and the vicissitudes of life. Seeing the old lady and Zhang Huan like this, she could only wait helplessly.
After the two of them calmed down, she said, "I understand what you mean, but if I'm controlling the investment amount because I think it's risky, that's fine. But if I clearly expect this project to be a big hit, but because of what you said, I give up on investing more money. Then on the day it explodes, I'll think about how much money I've missed out on. Have the two of you thought about that? "
Zhang Huan said bluntly, "I think you're feeling pretty bad right now."
His eyes were quite sharp. After Zhang Yansheng's ego swelled, she really thought about how less money she would make if she didn't invest this much money. Her emotions were indeed fluctuating.
Zhang Yansheng said, "How can I not feel bad after missing out on something?"
"So you think that the mentality I told your grandmother about was just how to face failure and how to control one's ego?" Zhang Huan said, "Yanyan, you still have to learn how to deal with this kind of 'what if I had done what I did back then' emotion."
The old lady smiled and said, "That's just right. You think that this movie project you have your eyes on will be a big hit and make a lot of money. But why can't you make any money, Yanyan? "
Zhang Yansheng pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "It's because my ability is limited right now. I can only convince you to give me this much money. I don't have the ability to convince you to give me more money."
She felt bad about missing out on the money she predicted she would make, but she didn't think that this "money she thought she could make" was already beyond the scope of her ability.
For someone like her, who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and never had to worry about money, to lose her composure in front of the word "money," it was obvious how strong the temptation of making money was to ordinary people.
Under this kind of temptation, it was really easy to make irrational decisions.
Zhang Yansheng understood and felt relieved.
The old lady and Zhang Huan looked at each other and smiled.
Zhang Yansheng looked at his biological father, who had a gratified smile on his face, and suddenly asked, "Dad, what was the result of your first investment back then?"
The warm atmosphere came to an abrupt end, and the air suddenly became quiet.
The old lady turned her face away.
Zhang Huan stopped smiling, tapped his knuckles on the table, and said calmly, "Is the result important? What's important is that we learn to make rational decisions when we're young. Once this decision is made, no matter what the result is, we have to accept it calmly. For a rich third generation like me and a rich fourth generation like you, the most important thing is to preserve what we've achieved. Don't think that preserving what you've achieved is a derogatory term. Ask your grandmother, how many of the families who were friends with our family have survived to this day? How many of them have declined?! "
Zhang Yansheng stared at him for a while.
Zhang Huan's eyebrows were filled with awe-inspiring righteousness.
Zhang Yansheng: "Lost?"
Zhang Huan: "…!"
The old lady: "Pfft!"
The person who saved Zhang Huan, whose face was already covered in shit, was Zhang Yansheng's eldest uncle, Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu pushed open the door and entered just in time. He came in and asked, "Why did I hear that Yanyan is here? Oh, what's going on here? "
Zhang Yansheng politely greeted him, "Uncle," and Zhang Huan was saved. He hurriedly told his eldest brother, "Yanyan found a project and wants to invest in it. He's giving us a speech and taking money from our pockets."
Zhang Yu was very surprised and asked in surprise, "Really?"
The old lady laughed and said, "Yes, we've already decided to give him the money."
This meant that the project that Zhang Yansheng found was approved by the old lady and Zhang Huan.
Zhang Yu asked Zhang Yansheng, "Where did Yanyan find this project?"
It didn't matter what the project was or how much money it needed to invest. Zhang Yu just wanted to know where Zhang Yansheng, a high school student, found such a reliable investment project. Where did she get the channels?
Zhang Yansheng said, "A few days ago, I went to that forum with my grandma and saw it. I thought it was pretty good, so I told my grandma and dad about it. They agreed. "
Zhang Qi also went to that forum. Zhang Yu said, "Why haven't I heard Qiqi mention it? Aren't you guys together? "
The old lady smiled slightly.
Zhang Yansheng explained, "Sister Qiqi was busy listening to the forum at that time, so I just wandered around and met someone."
Then, she found a project that was so reliable that even the old lady and Zhang Huan agreed to invest in it? Even if they only invested two or three million yuan for her to test the waters, that would mean that they approved of her.
Zhang Yu's expression was a little strange.
He couldn't help but ask, "How much are you going to invest?"
Zhang Yansheng told him, "My dad gave me 1,000 yuan. My grandma said before that as long as I could convince my dad to invest, she would double the amount my dad gave. So, my grandma gave me 2,000 yuan. Uncle, since everyone has a share, why don't you support me a little too? "
She had her own father and grandma, so it wasn't Zhang Yu's turn to give her money. Zhang Yansheng was just in a good mood and was just joking around.
Zhang Yu also knew that, so he laughed and scolded her, "Little money-grubber."
But his mood was very strange.
When he got home that night, he called Zhang Qi over and asked, "What were you doing on the forum for the past few days?"
Zhang Qi said, "I was taking care of my grandma and never left."
Zhang Yu asked, "What about the details?"
Zhang Qi was surprised. "Just listening to the forum and taking notes. Then, I would eat lunch and dinner with my grandma and send her back to her room at night."
"Then, what did Yanyan do?" Zhang Yu asked.
At the mention of Zhang Yansheng, Zhang Qi wasn't in a good mood. "Don't mention it. She only listened to the forum for the whole morning. On the first afternoon, she went out and ran around. She didn't even eat dinner with us. I don't know what kind of messy person she met."
Zhang Huan understood. It must be this "messy person" who introduced the project to Zhang Yansheng. Otherwise, how could Zhang Yansheng, a high school student, find a project to invest in?
His mood became even more strange as he looked at his daughter.
If you said that she didn't do well … then you felt that it was unfair to her.
They had all told her to take good care of her grandma, so she didn't leave her side at all.
Even when it came to taking notes, he couldn't say anything about her. She was a student. If she listened to such things and took notes, it meant that she was serious.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that Zhang Qi really didn't do anything wrong. In fact, she didn't even do anything bad. But Zhang Yu just didn't feel right. There was an indescribable awkwardness.
Zhang Yansheng's eldest aunt came over and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly talking about the forum again? "
Didn't she ask her daughter a few days ago when she came back? She heard that she took good care of the old lady. Her parents even praised her. But she was familiar with her husband and could tell that his expression was a little strange.
Zhang Yu said, "Yanyan came back from the forum and took a liking to a movie project. He already convinced Mom and Second Brother to invest in him."
His eldest aunt and Zhang Qi were stunned.
His eldest aunt asked, "Mom gave him money? How much did she give? Two million? Five million? "
She felt that five million was the limit for a high school student to invest for fun. After all, adults shouldn't mess around with children. Five million wasn't a lot, but it was still money.
Zhang Qi also listened with bated breath. He wanted to know the answer.
Zhang Yu's expression became even more strange.
"Mom gave him twenty million, Second Brother gave him ten million, and he's prepared to invest thirty million."
