Chapter 1069: Wolf

Zhao Fusheng only learned later about Bai Jie canceling the movie plan for Soldiers Sortie.

He was naturally very satisfied with this. After all, as a company manager, being able to accept others' opinions made one qualified. If one only knew how to act arbitrarily, frankly speaking, that was not a qualified manager.

Recently, Zhao Fusheng had been quite leisurely. He didn't need to worry about company matters, the film and TV projects were progressing smoothly, and other aspects were proceeding step by step.

By now, he could finally consider going to the United States.

This trip to the United States was imperative for Zhao Fusheng.

The reason was simple: most of his current industries were related to the internet, and for the internet industry, the United States was undoubtedly the most cutting-edge place. Without exaggeration, all advanced technology and information in the world could be obtained here.

Moreover, some of Zhao Fusheng's plans required him to be in the United States, in Silicon Valley.

So he came.

The date was quite interesting. The day Zhao Fusheng arrived in the United States happened to be the opening day of this year's European Cup.

June 12th.

Although football was not a mainstream sport in the United States, there were still many fans. Sitting in the car, Zhao Fusheng could also feel this enthusiasm.

"Isn't it said that Americans only like baseball and hockey?" Zhao Fusheng asked Tan Kaixuan, who had come to pick him up, with a smile.

Tan Kaixuan shrugged: "You missed one, there's also American football."

"What about basketball?"

Dong Chenxi, who had come to the United States with Zhao Fusheng, asked curiously.

The two were very familiar with each other, so Dong Chenxi wasn't being overly formal.

Hearing this question, Tan Kaixuan laughed heartily and winked: "You don't know, before I came to the United States, I always thought basketball should be Americans' favorite, after all, their professional league is famous worldwide. But only after arriving here did I realize that what they like most is not basketball at all."

Dong Chenxi was astonished. Although she didn't like sports much, she knew that the most famous thing in the United States was the renowned NBA, a world-famous professional league. How could it become the lowest-ranked sport in Tan Kaixuan's words?

"It's simple: commercial promotion," Zhao Fusheng slowly spoke at this moment. "The NBA's commercial promotion is the best among the four major American sports leagues. They have many partners in Europe, Asia, and even Africa. As a result, many basketball fans around the world regard it as a holy land."

Dong Chenxi was stunned by these words.

Tan Kaixuan nodded: "That's right, Old Zhao is correct. It's a matter of commercial promotion. In plain terms, they advertise well, and coupled with the NBA's high level, many people flock to it."

He had spent more time in the United States than Dong Chenxi and Zhao Fusheng, and knew more about the local customs and economic conditions, so naturally he spoke with authority.

Looking at Tan Kaixuan, Dong Chenxi smiled and said: "It's said that one should look at a person with new eyes after three days apart. I think now I should also see you in a new light."

This was her heartfelt words. After all, the original Tan Kaixuan was very different from now. It seemed that environment truly changed people.

Or rather, a change in environment could make a person grow up quickly.

It was as if Tan Kaixuan, had he not come to the United States and been forced to take charge on his own, might never have undergone the transformation he had today.

"What's there to be impressed by?" Tan Kaixuan waved his hand with a smile. "This is common knowledge in the States. It's only because you two just arrived that I have a chance to show off in front of you. Once you've been here longer, I won't have that opportunity."

Dong Chenxi smiled but didn't take Tan Kaixuan's words seriously.

Nowadays, neither of them was the same as before.

Back in their school days, Tan Kaixuan was just a student who had started a business with Zhao Fusheng, while Dong Chenxi was merely an ordinary assistant at Future Advertising.

In fact, she had gotten in through Wang Zhen's connections, recommended by Zhao Fusheng.

But now, as Zhao Fusheng's trusted confidante, Dong Chenxi managed assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars for Future Investment, riding high on success.

As for Tan Kaixuan, there was no need to say more—Brother Capital had made a name for itself in the U.S. investment world.

The elites on Wall Street all knew that this mysterious man from the East seemed to possess an indescribable luck, always able to pick astonishing outlier stocks from places others overlooked.

Yes, outlier stocks.

Often, the stocks Tan Kaixuan bought seemed utterly unreasonable to others, even bizarre, yet he always managed to succeed.

At first, people were amazed, but later they grew accustomed to it.

Even Zhao Fusheng had to admit that Tan Kaixuan indeed had a talent that commanded admiration.

At the very least, Zhao Fusheng knew that even with his own rebirth, he still lacked Tan Kaixuan's ability.

"By the way, are you really planning to invest in the internet industry this time?" Tan Kaixuan looked at Zhao Fusheng and Dong Chenxi and asked.

Dong Chenxi nodded. "Of course."

As the head of Future Investment, Zhao Fusheng naturally had to clearly explain the purpose of this trip to Dong Chenxi before coming to the U.S., since it was no small matter—a large-scale investment plan involving hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Brother, that's hundreds of millions of dollars. Are you really planning to spend it all?" Tan Kaixuan turned to Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng laughed heartily. "Isn't money meant to be spent? If I don't spend it, what's the point of taking out a loan?"

Tan Kaixuan fell silent. He had to admit that Zhao Fusheng's words made sense. The guy had borrowed three hundred million dollars at once, already more than the capital Tan Kaixuan controlled.

And as Zhao Fusheng said, if he didn't spend that money, the loan would be meaningless. After all, given the current trend, Zhao Fusheng's wealth, while not necessarily skyrocketing, would at least increase in value day by day.

In the end, it was because Zhao Fusheng was not content with the status quo.

Tan Kaixuan understood this well—he and Zhao Fusheng shared the same personality; both were the type who refused to follow the beaten path.

To put it bluntly, deep down, they both had a wolfish nature.

A dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit, a wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat.

In a wolf's dictionary, waiting silently for meat to come to their mouths is not their style.
