Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list-Chapter 629 - 627, a skyscraper should start from a kiss.

Chen Hong continued, "Moreover, our Shengyuan Group’s capital scale is much smaller, yet we have plenty of free capital, so this move is ineffective against us. As long as our Shengyuan Group is risk-free, investors won’t pull their funds."

The total capital management of the Shengyuan Group was about 490 billion.

Of this, their own funds were roughly 130 billion.

Furthermore, with the cash redemption annual interest rate being only six percent, Shengyuan Group was a traditional investment management company and hadn’t made any high-risk moves.

So, Chen Hong was not at all afraid of Luofeng.

Besides, how could Luofeng possibly persuade those twenty-odd companies?

With benefits?

Unlikely.

After losing hundreds of billions in gold, would anyone still trust him?

「 」

Meanwhile, at around seven o’clock, Luofeng put on a down jacket and announced, "Yunji, Rubing, I’m going downstairs to handle some work."

Duanmu Yunji nodded. "Mhm."

Qin Rubing also said obediently, "Do your best! Don’t work too hard."

Luofeng then shared passionate kisses with each of them for a few minutes and hugged them for a while.

Only then did he take the elevator down to the banquet hall.

Of course, every time after intimately kissing Duanmu Yunji and then proceeding to kiss Qin Rubing, both women felt a bit shy.

But Luofeng was well aware. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; perhaps this endeavor had to start with them merely watching him kiss the other? If they could get used to an act like kissing in front of the other person, then what about more intimate things? Could they still not get used to those?

There Must Be My Teacher, he thought, recognizing this was a long journey and he couldn’t rush things.

At that moment, the banquet hall was already filled with the fragrance of Hot Pot.

When Luofeng walked in, Chen Dali and a few others had already arrived.

There were about fifty people in the banquet hall.

"Brother Feng!"

"Brother Feng!"

Chen Dali led Luofeng around, mainly to introduce him to the many individuals from Capital City’s circles, including the younger generation.

Luofeng silently used the System to categorize these people into three groups.

The first group consisted of those with a morality score above ninety. These individuals, once befriended, would become true comrades.

Those with a morality score of merely eighty, if they proved to have decent emotional intelligence after some interaction, could become friends, but he wouldn’t get too close.

As for those below eighty, Luofeng would need to consider them cautiously.

For those with even lower scores, only superficial politeness was necessary. If there were benefits involved, he would interact with them cautiously; if not, it was best to have no contact at all.

"Good evening, everyone. I am Luofeng, and I’m delighted to be at this gathering with all of you."

Soon, as the host, Luofeng began to speak.

Everyone present was an adult, so they naturally didn’t cause a commotion and quieted down instantly.

"I invited you all to dinner tonight mainly to first offer an apology."

"Regarding the Tianhong affair, our company caused some losses for all of you."

"I will find a way to compensate you for these losses in the future."

"Also, we will be taking action against Shengyuan Group next."

"Many of you here probably know that I, Luofeng, do not provoke others without cause. However, my girlfriend was incited by someone to try and poach from me—that’s something I cannot tolerate. Moreover, the spy we discovered in the bar the other time was also secretly arranged by Chen Hong."

"In light of this series of provocations, my actions now are entirely justified!"

"I can provide evidence for the truth of what I’ve said, and you are all welcome to investigate for yourselves."

A just cause for action. This has been a common practice throughout Daxia’s thousands of years of history.

Oath-swearing assemblies? Alliances of eighteen feudal lords? Blood oaths? Weren’t they all just gatherings where people explained what they were about to do, claiming they were forced into it under certain circumstances and didn’t actually want to start a war?

"Next, if anyone here still has funds in Shengyuan Group and suffers losses because of Fengshun Investment’s actions, I apologize to you in advance."

"Of course, some of you might think I’m saying this to deliberately create an atmosphere of fear, to compel you to withdraw your funds from Shengyuan Group."

"Indeed, that’s part of the intention. I’ve already investigated; Shengyuan Group’s issues aren’t major, so targeting it won’t be that easy. However, our company doesn’t plan for a quick resolution. If necessary, our Fengshun Company will opt for the tactic of ’killing a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of our own’ to crush Shengyuan Group."

"I believe some of you are aware that I’ve already mobilized one billion US dollars from Siam. Originally, it was intended to target Tianhong, but Tianhong turned out to be surprisingly vulnerable."

"Additionally, if necessary, we will continue to invest funds to target Shengyuan Group. I’m not afraid of losing money; I can always earn it back. What I want is to defeat Chen Hong. I, Luofeng, am not the type of person who will just stand by idly while someone plays dirty tricks behind my back."

"Lastly, to be clear, Shengyuan Group offers a six percent return, while we at Fengshun Company can give you ten percent. A stable ten percent, with the maximum allocation per representative capped at 20 billion."

Finally, Luofeng revealed his trump card.

After the System upgrade, Fengshun Investment’s minimum annual rate of return had reached fifteen percent.

With Luofeng promising ten percent, he would still make a profit, wouldn’t he?

The key was that a stable ten percent return was indeed very attractive.

"To add one more thing, for any funds withdrawn from Shengyuan Group, as long as the amount doesn’t exceed 20 billion per entity, we can take them on. Moreover, if it’s confirmed that the funds were withdrawn from Shengyuan Group, we will provide an additional four percent annual return subsidy."

Luofeng unleashed another trump card.

This added up to a fourteen percent return.

This was more than double Shengyuan Group’s return, by a significant margin.

"Alright, everyone, please eat and drink to your heart’s content. Don’t be shy. Lin Xiaoyun is picking up the tab today, and you all know what that means," Luofeng said with a mischievous smile.

Lin Xiaoyun rolled her eyes.

"I’m speechless, Brother Feng! Please, go easy on me with your words! These guys, knowing it’s my treat, might have originally planned to eat one fish, but now they’ll probably eat three because of what you said!" Lin Xiaoyun started to make complaints.

"Haha, Cloud View is your family’s property, and you’re footing the bill. No problem, right?" Luofeng said with a laugh.

"Fine, I’ll pick up the tab. But Brother Feng, that fourteen percent you mentioned earlier? Can our family invest?" Lin Xiaoyun asked.

"Of course, but does your family still trust me?" Luofeng replied.

After all, everyone knew that Luofeng had lost hundreds of billions, and the three families had each lost 25 billion. The four entities, along with the prostitutes, meant losses of over a hundred billion.

"I’ll give it a try."

"We’ll discuss it later," Luofeng said.

「 」

The grand banquet at Cloud View Apartments left Chen Hong somewhat flustered.

Such a high rate of return presented before them was enough to sway some people. Even if Luofeng had lost hundreds of billions, in the eyes of most, victory and defeat are common in warfare. Luofeng, at least, had proven his capabilities, as evident from the recent matter concerning Chen Rui’s family.

Therefore, some people approached Chen Hong, demanding to withdraw their investments to reinvest in Fengshun Investment Company instead.

They urged Chen Hong to prepare their funds quickly.
