Chapter 2177: Chapter 2178: The Legitimate Wife Left with Nothing 97
In the past two years, Xie Zhen has invested in quite a few projects, not only helping the company earn a lot of money, but his position in the company has steadily improved, and he himself has also made quite a fortune.
Many people say that the Xie Family has produced another rising star, and he used to feel a bit puffed up hearing these praises, but recalling someone’s achievements, Xie Zhen managed to keep himself grounded.
They haven’t met Zhang Yu. If they did, his achievements would pale in comparison.
Just recently, Zhang Yu and Feng Lina shocked him again, "I didn’t expect that we’ve set our sights on another project, and you guys are among the early investors."
"No, wait." Recalling when Zhang Yu and the others bought shares, "You could say you’re a founder."
"Not at all, it’s just flattery," Zhang Yu replied humbly, thinking there’s really no need to argue on such small matters, as long as the money is in the pocket, nothing else really matters.
Watching Zhang Yu’s humble demeanor, Xie Zhen really didn’t want to see it, "Once the company goes public this time, congratulations, your small goal will definitely be achieved, and after that, it’s still in US Dollars."
Xie Zhen felt a bit jealous inside, he was the head of a large investment bank, his family had some status in the financial circle, he should be receiving news quite quickly, aware of good domestic investment projects.
He secured quite a few well-performing investment projects, but Zhang Yu and Feng Lina spent most of their time in Harbor City, their investment bank wasn’t large, counting financial affairs and everything, and still only had five, six, seven, or eight people.
Don’t be fooled by the small number of people in their investment bank, when visiting their company, the office environment wasn’t great either, they still operated from the previous office space, and after making money, they rented the adjacent office and converted it into two small manager offices, renovating them a bit.
Oh, and then they bought the office spaces as the reason was that the feng shui couldn’t be taken away by others, Xie Zhen had been there a few times, even though the company office was a bit bigger now, it still felt quite cramped.
Yet, they managed to achieve results that envied and angered many investment banks in Europe, America, and domestically, involving projects that performed well over the past two years.
Previously in a startup company, this kind of investment bank, if the angel funds welcomed them, now the investment fund established by Zhang Yu was their most welcomed, with reasonable pricing and no excessive meddling, indeed the ideal investor.
"Don’t look at me like that, I’ll be scared," Zhang Yu said jokingly, but still raised his glass to toast to Xie Zhen.
Well, Zhang Yu proposed a toast to him, he couldn’t refuse, "You are the most capable person I’ve known."
Xie Zhen sighed several times, "Are Uncle and Aunt still abroad as caregivers?"
Zhang Yu responded, "Yes, their grandchild is their apple of the eye."
"Still in grad school?" Xie Zhen calculated the time, Lin Zixuan should be graduating from university soon.
"Already in grad school," Zhang Yu knew Xie Zhen was counting by four years’ time, "He completed the requirements for credits in three years and is continuing with advanced studies."
Finished it in three years, thinking again, he didn’t find it too surprising, Lin Zixuan was smart, completing three years’ worth of courses in three years, even if he slacked off for a bit, "What are his plans after graduation?"
Plans after graduation, Zhang Yu just talked with Lin Zixuan a few days ago, "He used to intern at the law firm of his mentor."
"He plans to work at a law firm in NY after graduation and is also thinking of getting a NY law license."
"But during their conversation, he also mentioned he wanted to intern at the UN for half a year or nine months."
"Anyway, I can’t keep up with his pace now, young guy has so many ideas, changes his mind quickly." Clearly a young man in his twenties, but his temperament, oh well.
"By the way, I remember he studied abroad with that guy, Liao Kai." Xie Zhen recalled his name, "Is he continuing his studies?"
"No, he graduated from university last year and then went to work at an investment bank." Zhang Yu was not surprised that Xie Zhen would pay attention to Liao Kai whom he hadn’t met many times, after all, he was the heir of the Liao Family.
Even though not in the same circle, they knew a thing or two. Zhang Yu didn’t quite understand why Xie Zhen brought up Liao Kai, "Why did you suddenly mention him?"
Knowing full well he’d never mention him before, only aware Xiao Xuan had a good relationship with that person.
Xie Zhen glancing around, lowly said, "The two families have intentions."
The two families have intentions? Zhang Yu was really surprised, hadn’t heard Lin Zixuan mention it, "Do the two kids agree?"
Xie Zhen fixed his gaze on Zhang Yu, who immediately understood the implied meaning, "Right, I was foolish, why hadn’t I thought of this."
"Congratulations must of course be in order for the finance and industry combination." Though whether or not it would be perfect, that remains unknown, "By the way, which child from your family?"
Since Xie Zhen brought it up, Zhang Yu casually asked.
"My second brother’s kid, he also went to NY for university two years ago." Specifically who Xie Zhen hadn’t said, knowing that even if he did, Zhang Yu might not know.
Understood, Zhang Yu thought for a bit, "It’s truly a marriage of wealthy families."
Xie Zhen looked at Zhang Yu still sighing away, suddenly said, "Actually, your Xiao Xuan is also quite popular, many people are eagerly waiting to meet him."
What? Zhang Yu knew Lin Zixuan would definitely be favored by many mothers-in-law, with education, ability, and of course, money, thanks to his capable mom.
But hearing the implication in Xie Zhen’s words, those wealthy families wanted to form a marital alliance with his family, "My family is small and humble."
Regarding her son’s marriage, Zhang Yu expressed as long as her son was happy, it was fine, and as for the mother-in-law relationship, never saw an issue because she never intended to live together, and would not interfere in their matters, so if there were any mother-in-law problems, she couldn’t help it.
Small and humble family? Xie Zhen laughed upon hearing Zhang Yu’s words, "Not to mention that once today’s celebration starts, your net worth will soar, just based on your previous achievements, attracting attention from many so-called wealthy families."
"The investment company you manage might be valued at tens of billions long ago, not even mentioning your personal investments." Because it’s personal privacy, no way to find out, "By the way, doesn’t your investment company plan to raise funds?"
Raise funds? Zhang Yu knew her company’s ability to make money made many envious, "I am the investment company myself, I don’t need to raise funds."
"Our philosophy is to invest when we have money, and not invest when we don’t, plus our current scale is actually a bottleneck at our current stage."
It’s not that we don’t want to continue investing, but investing further would really be too conspicuous, easily catching the bigger capital’s attention, and in fact, we’re being watched already, often being set traps."
"We need to take a break now, because resting is for going further," Zhang Yu looked at Xie Zhen.
An anticipated answer, although somewhat disappointed, yet not too disappointed, raising his glass, "If needing investment, you can talk to me, I invest privately."
