Chapter 0949: Target Wall Street

Zhao Fusheng was certainly not crazy.

Life experience and erudition are two different things; thus a vulgar, ignorant village woman could easily deceive a refined, well-read female college student, even selling her into a remote mountain village as a bride.

Because acquiring life experience does not necessarily require one to personally endure blood, tears, and hardship. Sometimes the experience and lessons passed down by predecessors may feel awkward when first applied, but truly intelligent people quickly learn to use them, extracting the essence and discarding the dross.

Zhao Fusheng naturally had more life experience than Tan Kaixuan, partly because he had experienced more things than Tan Kaixuan, having lived two lives. More importantly, Zhao Fusheng had lived through the era of the Internet information explosion, seeing online many things that ordinary people could not know at this time.

Although some of that information was already blurry, an occasional incident might trigger a memory deep in Zhao Fusheng's mind.

And that memory could bring Zhao Fusheng countless wealth.

"Wall Street is currently in a downturn; the impact of the Internet bubble burst is very significant. A large number of once-thriving companies are now in trouble. Although our funds are a bit limited, I think you can definitely give it a try," Zhao Fusheng said to Tan Kaixuan on the phone. "It just depends on whether you have the guts."

Tan Kaixuan fell silent, not speaking for a long time. After a while, he said, "Let me think it over."

"Okay." Zhao Fusheng didn't waste words and hung up, clearly giving Tan Kaixuan time to consider.

He knew very well that for both Tan Kaixuan and himself, the current downturn on Wall Street was undoubtedly a rare development opportunity. By the time the Americans came to their senses, it wouldn't be so easy to enter the market.

As a successful person once said: What's Tsinghua or Peking University? Nothing beats having guts.

You see, the first few years of this century were the last afterglow of the era of grassroots entrepreneurs starting from scratch. After that, relying solely on personal strength to become a billionaire would no longer be so easy.

This world has never lacked smart people. When the era of information asymmetry becomes a thing of the past and everyone has roughly the same access to information, except for those born with a silver spoon, the rest are already standing at the same starting line.

What they compete on is merely who runs a little earlier.

……

……

Tan Kaixuan was ultimately a man with ambition. To be more precise, this guy still wanted to do great things and succeed!

His personality, if placed in ancient times, would have destined him to dominate a region, because he had a restless heart.

Even Zhao Fusheng had to admit that in terms of drive, he was inferior to Tan Kaixuan. He was someone who would never miss an opportunity.

Even if the probability of success was only twenty or thirty percent, that was enough for Tan Kaixuan.

Just like this time, after three days of consideration, he agreed to Zhao Fusheng's request and prepared to take that sum of money to the United States.

"Isn't it just Wall Street? This time, I'm going to see what's so great about the Americans," Tan Kaixuan said to Zhao Fusheng with soaring ambition.

Clearly, this guy intended to make money from the Americans.

Zhao Fusheng didn't mind. To him, whether Tan Kaixuan developed in the United States or Hong Kong was the same; the only difference was whether his tens of millions in funds would earn US dollars or Hong Kong dollars.

"Get your passport and other documents ready, and you'll have to wait for Qian Dongliu to go together," Zhao Fusheng instructed Tan Kaixuan.

Tan Kaixuan was straightforward, knowing that Zhao Fusheng was uneasy about him going alone, so he agreed.

As for Zhao Fusheng's additional advice—not to act rashly after arriving in the US and to communicate more with Zhao Fusheng by phone—Tan Kaixuan readily concurred. He knew that his understanding of financial matters was not that deep; he often acted on intuition, and Zhao Fusheng had a better eye for things.

When it came to making money, Tan Kaixuan was always serious. If he didn't understand something, he didn't understand, and he would never pretend to.

In his own words, he could quarrel with anything except money.

Zhao Fusheng trusted his words. Old Tan, though a bit flighty, rarely lied, especially to friends. He always spoke his mind and kept his promises.

Calculating the time, Zhao Fusheng called Qian Dongliu and told him about going to the US. Although a bit surprised, Qian Dongliu agreed.

He also knew that Zhao Fusheng and Tan Kaixuan had a good relationship. Sending him over was largely to help Tan Kaixuan make sound decisions. Compared to Tan Kaixuan, his own maturity and stability were very useful in business.

With this matter arranged, Zhao Fusheng could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Once Tan Kaixuan arrived in the US, Zhao Fusheng had other plans. Whether they could make money would depend on luck.

There was no help for it. Zhao Fusheng was not a god, nor did he have any golden finger like a system. He only knew that from the end of this year to the beginning of next year, the Wall Street stock market would start to rise again. As for the specifics, Zhao Fusheng actually didn't know.

Wall Street is the name of a major street in the southern part of Manhattan, New York City, extending from Broadway to the East River. It is only one-third of a mile long and eleven meters wide, a transliteration of "Wall Street." The street is narrow and short, only seven blocks from Broadway to the East River, yet it is world-famous as "America's financial center." The offices of banks, insurance, shipping, and railway companies established by the Morgan financial clique, Rockefeller oil magnates, and DuPont consortium are concentrated here. The famous New York Stock Exchange is also here, and it remains the headquarters of several major exchanges, such as NASDAQ, the American Stock Exchange, and the New York Futures Exchange. The term "Wall Street" has now transcended the street itself, becoming a designation for the surrounding area and also referring to the financial markets and institutions that have an impact on the entire U.S. economy.

Calling a corporation a Wall Street company does not mean its office is on Wall Street; it is more likely that it is primarily engaged in financial services, and its headquarters could be located anywhere in the world.

Zhao Fusheng never intended to have Future Capital operate on Wall Street. Not to mention the Americans' xenophobic nature, Future Investment's current capital was insufficient to establish a foothold on Wall Street.

What he aimed for were the futures exchanges and stock exchanges on Wall Street.

The reason was simple: this was the easiest opportunity to get rich overnight.
