“Oh?” Li Wensan smiled, then said, “You tell us.”
Li Ming nodded, then said to everyone, “The biggest characteristic of these people can be summed up in three words: they don’t care.”
Hearing this, everyone was a bit confused.
What kind of common characteristic is that?
“Second Young Master, could you please explain things more clearly?” someone asked, puzzled.
Li Ming smiled slightly, then said, “That’s just a general summary.”
“Because these people basically all come from families where their fathers or even grandfathers started businesses.”
“In other words, these people have never experienced entrepreneurship, yet they have acquired immense wealth.”
“So, they have no real concept of the wealth in their hands and don’t particularly cherish it.”
“If a person has a hundred million, losing one million casually won't cause him any distress; on the contrary, he won't care at all.”
“If he possesses ten billion, throwing away tens of millions might hurt less than plucking a single hair.”
“If a person is born with countless industries and now just runs a company to pass the time, and if this company accidentally gets lost, to him it’s like losing a single meal, with no heartache whatsoever.”
“This is what ‘not caring’ means...” Li Ming said, with deep foresight.
“Hiss...” A few people exchanged glances, all taking a sharp breath... “What... what does this mean?” someone then asked.
“I’ve explained it clearly, but I’ve explained it in vain...”
“Simply put, if a person with hundreds of millions in assets bets a million-dollar luxury car with someone else, even if he loses the car, he won’t care.”
“And the chairman and big boss of Ar Technology is also this type of young person; his background is too powerful, so much so that we can't find his true information. We can only see what he wants us to see.”
“And Ar Technology is merely something he uses to pass the time; to him, it's like a car that can be discarded at any time.”
“Therefore, as long as we can use some method to make a bet with him, and as long as we can win, we can easily bring Ar Technology into our possession...” Li Ming said with a smile.
“But... if that happens, won’t the forces behind him come knocking? We might not be able to handle that...” someone asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry, the forces behind him are not ordinary forces. As long as we are in the right, they won’t do anything. Besides, as I just said, would you feel distressed if you lost a hundred-thousand-yuan small car?”
Li Ming said with full confidence.
“Hmm... that makes sense...” Everyone nodded in agreement with Li Ming’s explanation.
“Good, very good.” Li Wensan smiled, then said, “I pondered in my room for a whole day, seeking the opinions of all the gods and buddhas, and they also had this idea...” Li Wensan said.
“Since you, Elder Li, have made the decision, then we will listen to you. We will do whatever you say!” one person declared.
The others also quickly agreed; at this point, no one wanted to be left out.
“However... what method should we use to acquire Ar Technology?” someone then asked.
Li Wensan stood up and said, “This morning, before I came out of my room, I saw a stone in the corner that was about to crack.”
“Initially, I thought it was just an ordinary stone, but when I picked it up, I discovered it was an ore with stone on the outside and jade inside.”
“This gave me inspiration. I believe this is the method Heaven has given me.”
“Although the big boss of Ar Technology has great power, he is still a young man.”
“As long as he is a young man, he can’t avoid the characteristic of loving to play, especially with new and interesting things.”
“And what kind of new, fun things can also be used to make a bet?”
“Coincidentally, a few days ago, a friend of mine brought a large batch of jade ore from the south, and stone gambling is an excellent method that Heaven has hinted to me.”
“It’s a skilled job to discern whether there is good quality jade inside from stones that look pretty much the same on the outside.”
“My birthday banquet tomorrow has also invited this big boss of Ar Technology. As long as we make a bet with him—whoever can cut out good jade wins—that will be enough.”
Li Wensan looked at everyone and said.
“This... is it that hasty?”
“To decide our fate with stone gambling, isn’t this a bit too imprecise!”
“Furthermore, will he agree? This is no different from gambling!”
“I feel this matter is a bit unreliable...” people questioned one after another.
“The more absurd something seems, the more likely it is to succeed.”
“This is the law of this world.”
“I, Li Wensan, rose from obscurity not because of how strong my personal abilities were, but because of the laws of this world, the guidance of Heaven.”
“Humans are animals that are attracted by immediate interests. Stone gambling seems simple and unreliable, but if you win, it’s not just simply winning a game, but the huge interests behind the bet...”
“Although Ar Technology is nothing to him, people like him also want to gain some attention within their own family.”
“If he can take control of Jiangcheng’s technology circle, he will also gain his family’s recognition. This is our leverage.”
“As long as we grasp his thoughts and psychology, and grasp his needs, he will definitely agree...” Li Wensan said.
Hearing these words, the few people present also nodded. As expected of the venerable Elder Li Wensan, a titan!
He saw things so clearly... dissecting human nature so thoroughly... “Understood...”
“Tomorrow, Elder Li, whatever you say, I will do. This time, I won’t worry about anything; I’ll just rely on you, Elder Li...”
“Elder Li, see you tomorrow. I’ll take my leave for today...”
The other few also said a few words, bid farewell, and then walked out of the hall and left.
Li Ming seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then looked at Li Wensan and asked, “Dad...”
Li Ming’s expression was complex, unsure of what he was thinking.
“Alas...”
“There’s no other way; we can only resort to this last resort...”
Li Wensan said, looking into the distance.
“What... what did the gods say to you?” Li Ming didn’t believe in such things, but still asked out of curiosity.
“Nothing, it’s just that we cannot afford to offend this person, nor can we contend with him.”
“This play has been exhausting, but my original intention was for everyone’s sake. To not change is to die. This is the best method...” Li Wensan said slowly, frowning.
