Chapter 2040: Approval

It is often said that the power of example is limitless.

But conversely, if a person works too hard, it can also put a lot of pressure on those around them.

Take Zhao Fusheng, for instance.

Having achieved such success, he still works as hard as when he first started his business, which actually creates pressure for those around him.

Although no one says it, everyone is curious: what exactly does Zhao Fusheng want?

And now, Zhao Fusheng has started spending money.

Dong Chenxi, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief.

At least this guy is finally acting like a normal person.

It's normal for a person to be slightly better than those around them.

But if a person is better than everyone around them, keeps striving forward, leaves everyone far behind, and still keeps going.

That creates a sense of distance.

The old Zhao Fusheng gave people that feeling.

Now, he seems more like a real person.

Zhao Fusheng, of course, had no idea what Dong Chenxi was thinking. If he did, he would be speechless.

He wasn't being diligent.

He was just a bit worried.

After all, in a few years, his advantage of foresight would be gone. If he didn't accumulate more now, what would he do then?

Planning ahead—that was Zhao Fusheng's real thought.

"I'll buy a yacht later, and next time we'll all go on vacation together," Zhao Fusheng said to Dong Chenxi with a smile.

Things in this world often just need a beginning.

Like spending money—Zhao Fusheng hadn't wanted to do it before, but now that he had the idea, the rest would follow.

"Fine."

Dong Chenxi said excitedly, "How about we pick it out together?"

"Shouldn't my wife be the one to choose?" Zhao Fusheng asked helplessly.

"Fan Baobao from your family definitely doesn't care. She can just stay on that island all the time, while we fly around making money for you."

Dong Chenxi said with righteous indignation.

Zhao Fusheng chuckled. She had a point, and he couldn't find a reason to argue.

"See? I'm right, aren't I?"

Dong Chenxi glanced at him smugly when he didn't respond.

Zhao Fusheng waved his hand, too lazy to retort.

"By the way, I'm going to the US in a few days. Are you coming?" Dong Chenxi asked Zhao Fusheng.

"What for?"

Zhao Fusheng raised an eyebrow, surprised.

"Zuckerberg's side is having a board meeting," Dong Chenxi shrugged. "Those Americans are probably up to something again."

The development of Facebook was no longer what it used to be.

In the early days of starting up, a few big boys got together to pursue their dreams. Back then, no one could have imagined that the company would reach where it is today.

Even Mark Zuckerberg himself hadn't expected to become the founder of a unicorn company valued at over ten billion dollars before going public.

If he had known, he certainly wouldn't have accepted Zhao Fusheng's investment.

But there are no ifs in this world.

Zuckerberg didn't know, and neither did the Wall Street financiers led by Sequoia Capital, so they made mistakes.

But Zhao Fusheng knew, so he didn't make mistakes.

Now, as Facebook's value grew, people began to realize what kind of布局 that Chinese person had made back then.

Even some senior managers at Sequoia Capital started studying Zhao Fusheng's investment strategies over the years.

They didn't think there was anything wrong; rather, they hoped to find the methods behind his investment approach from his investment trajectory.

No one dislikes making money. Investment behaviors that can correctly generate profits undoubtedly attract many people.

"It doesn't matter. When you get there, talk to Zuckerberg first. Let him do what he wants," Zhao Fusheng said to Dong Chenxi with a smile. "Just vote on his side during the vote. You don't need to worry about anything else."

"Huh?"

Dong Chenxi was surprised, completely not expecting Zhao Fusheng to say that.

Did he trust Zuckerberg that much?

From Liu Qiangdong of JD.com to Zuckerberg of Facebook, Dong Chenxi noticed that Zhao Fusheng seemed to have extraordinary confidence in the founders of these companies.

He rarely interfered in their normal operations, instead constantly reminding her not to meddle with their normal development.

Of course,事实证明 Zhao Fusheng's choices were correct, but for some reason, Dong Chenxi still found it a bit baffling.

Wasn't this too strange?

"What, you think it's wrong?" Zhao Fusheng asked, seeing her odd expression.

Dong Chenxi smiled wryly and didn't hide her thoughts. "I don't think it's wrong; I just find you strange. Why do you trust those founders so much? Aren't you afraid they'll mess up the business?"

"How could that be?"

Zhao Fusheng waved his hand dismissively. "Do you think you could give up Future Advertising or Future Investment?"

"Of course not."

Dong Chenxi said instinctively, "This is a company I built up bit by bit. How could I..."

She stopped mid-sentence, realizing she understood what Zhao Fusheng meant.

Zhao Fusheng nodded with a smile. "Exactly. Just as many companies in the Future Group were founded by us and we're reluctant to give them up, for Liu Qiangdong or Zuckerberg, they are also the founders of their respective companies. How could they choose to give up?"

Although business is business and personal feelings are personal feelings.

But don't forget, these people are geniuses, true elites. Who doesn't want to succeed in entrepreneurship and prove themselves?

He pointed at Dong Chenxi. "Even you, aren't you the same?"

Dong Chenxi was silent. Though she wanted to反驳, she knew Zhao Fusheng was absolutely right.

For a company, no one has deeper feelings for it than its founder. Unless the founder intended to destroy the company from the start.

Otherwise, who would sell a well-developed project company they started for no reason?

"So, we just watch quietly as they grow the company, take it public, and then we can sell our shares if we want, or if not, become major shareholders and enjoy the benefits. Isn't that good?"

Zhao Fusheng said to Dong Chenxi with a smile.

Dong Chenxi was speechless, looking at the smug Zhao Fusheng, and suddenly wanted to call him a profiteer.

This guy was too cunning!
