Chapter 148: 146, the group is entering the hotel! Big things are about to happen!
"What about the others?" Luofeng looked around. "Investment carries risks. I know everyone needs to think it over, and I'm not in a hurry. But if you don't invest, that's like not giving me face. All of you, consider it carefully."
「Several minutes later.」
A Rich second generation named Li Bo Kai said, "Luofeng, I trust you. I've mortgaged my Lamborghini Aventador and my suburban house, a total of 10 million."
Whether it was An Peng or Duanmu Feng, upon looking at Li Bo Kai, both thought this guy must have lost his mind. Investing 10 million with no news whatsoever! He's not Chen Dali. Is he that tight with Luofeng?
In fact, everyone was just paying lip service, just showing Luofeng some respect.
Indeed, Li Bo Kai was quite the enthusiastic young man. Luofeng thought very highly of him.
"I'll start a WeChat group, and everyone should join."
Once the WeChat group was created, Luofeng sent out everyone's investment contribution.
Chen Dali: 10 million.
Li Bo Kai: 10 million.
Li Mu: 2 million.
An Peng: 1 million.
Duanmu Feng: 1 million.
...
"I want to clarify again: any of you brothers can back out anytime. Don't let this affect our friendship," Luofeng stated. "Also, if you're serious about investing, transfer your funds to my company's account during the day tomorrow."
After finishing his speech, Luofeng said, "Come on, let's all grab some kebabs."
The olive branch had been extended. Whether they took it or not, that was their business.
That evening, Luofeng naturally opted to stay at the Keely Hotel again.
The others couldn't sleep and were holding their own private little gatherings.
Chen Dali and Lin Xiaoyun discussed well into the night and confirmed their investment.
"Duanmu Feng, have you found any insider information?" An Peng asked.
"If you have some information, could you share it?" Duanmu Feng shot back.
"If I find out anything, I'll be sure to share. We're good brothers," Lin Mu chuckled.
"No insider info, right?" Li Bo Kai said. "But I believe in Brother Luo Feng."
"Yeah, Chen Dali invested 10 million. What's there to fear?"
"I'm not rich, so I'll just invest 1 million anyway."
Many still had mixed feelings. After all, their relationships with Luofeng weren't that close, and they worried there might be some trap. But then again, that was normal. Who could have anticipated Luofeng suddenly making such a move?
"Aren't you afraid of being cheated?" An Peng voiced cautiously.
"Didn't you verify the other party's information, confirming they truly have a registered capital of 40 million?"
"Who takes registered capital seriously these days?" An Peng retorted.
Some financing companies offer verification services, but forging this information isn't difficult.
"Anyway, I trust Luofeng. If you guys don't, just stay out of this," Li Bo Kai stated.
"It's not about distrust, but such matters require careful consideration," An Peng explained.
"I'll think about it some more. If it's not feasible, I'll invest 1 million just to give Brother Dali some face, and also show Luofeng some respect," Duanmu Feng said.
"Alright, that's enough talk. Let's all get some rest."
「The next morning,」
Luofeng, Chen Ping, and Tong Tianlong were discussing the U.S. Stocks investment.
Because those two were staunch supporters.
Luofeng briefly mentioned that he had received insider information on a certain stock.
He told them to get ready to make the most out of it.
They all nodded.
At noon, the first message in the Rich second generation's group came from An Peng: "Sorry, Brother Luo Feng, I've run into a bit of a problem with my funds. I won't be able to join this investment."
Luofeng didn't mind. "No worries, Brother An Peng. There will be other opportunities to collaborate in the future."
Will there be any future cooperation? Who knows? There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. Luofeng didn't know if there would be another chance; it all depended on interests.
Sometime after, Duanmu Feng also sent a message: "Sorry, Luofeng..."
Insider information? What insider information could there be now? Nonsense, right? Duanmu Feng thought.
Li Bo Kai directly sent a transfer screenshot with the message: "10 million. Please confirm receipt."
"Yes, it's been received," Luofeng nodded.
Chen Dali messaged, "My 10 million has also been transferred."
"Received!"
"Sponsors, I squeezed out 2 million this time; it was like pulling teeth, so you'd better do well." Lin Xiaoyun had initially promised 600,000, but now an additional 1.4 million had come through, clearly borrowed from somewhere.
Lin Xiaoyun continued, "Sponsors, it's on you now. If I really make money this round, then I'm getting my top-of-the-line Porsche 718. Remember the twenty percent profit we agreed on..."
"Hahaha, I'll do my best. I'll try my hardest," Luofeng replied to the message.
Lin Mu was the last to send a message: "Sorry, Brother Luo Feng, we've had a bit of trouble with the family business... I can't invest this time."
Luofeng knew. Perhaps these people had already discussed it and made up their minds. Luofeng had thought they would at least make a token investment of 1 million or so. Apparently not...
Luofeng wasn't upset. After all, only he knew it was a sure win. And they didn't understand Luofeng's true situation.
If all that show of wealth was fake, just to attract investment, then they would have been duped. In this day and age, one truly cannot invest recklessly.
"You three who are investing, come to the hotel. Let's discuss this. I've already booked a suite in advance," Luofeng directed them in the group.
Soon, the three arrived at the hotel within an hour.
Sitting on the sofa of the suite, Luofeng began, "Gentlemen, let me first state the rules. If you can accept them, we'll start immediately. If not, I'll instantly instruct someone to return your funds.
"First, we'll all live together for the next four days, right here in this suite. No one is to leave."
"No problem," Chen Dali said.
"Second, contact your families later to let them know you'll be out enjoying yourselves for a few days. If there's any contact in the meantime, all three of us must supervise together. No passing information to the outside."
After thinking it over, Chen Dali and Lin Xiaoyun nodded. "Fine."
"Third, when we sleep, I'm going to seal the room door to prevent any information from leaking out," Luofeng continued.
However, such extreme caution made them realize this had to be real insider information. If it weren't, then it would be kidnapping... Otherwise, there was no other explanation.
"Lastly, I hope you all understand clearly that what we're about to do concerns our own interests. Even if you get a chance to leak the info to someone or bring someone else on board, I don't want that to happen," Luofeng reminded them.
"Investment markets are risky. Any little disturbance gets noticed by capital, which could alter the expected twenty percent profit. So, for your own sakes, it's best if you profit alone. After all, others were invited; if they didn't join, there's nothing to be done, right?" Luofeng concluded.
Lin Xiaoyun was the first to declare, "I'll ditch my phone and just watch TV all day."
After all, it was just for four days. If it meant making a 400,000 profit, it was a deal too good to miss.
Li Bo Kai laughed. "Me too. If I can make 2 million in four days, I've already decided to buy a Mercedes-Benz AMG."
