"All right, Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu, please follow me," Guo Wenlin extended his hand in a welcoming gesture and led the couple to a group of three middle-aged couples.
These individuals, clustered together chatting, exhibited a different air from the other property owners.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. Xu have arrived," Guo Wenlin introduced with a smile, "Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu, this is…"
Guo Wenlin introduced each individual to Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin in turn.
The seafood tycoon, Cai Yangde, and his wife.
The furniture magnate, Bai Hongchang, and his wife.
The real estate mogul, Lan Penghua, and his wife.
They got to know one another and exchanged greetings.
Everyone was exceedingly courteous to Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin.
They all knew Xu Yang was a rising star in the business world, a billionaire at a young age, with boundless potential for the future.
After chatting for a bit, the women realized the men had business to discuss, and they left together.
At a table not too far away.
There was a slightly overweight middle-aged man steadily drinking, whose demeanor stood out from the other property owners.
The other owners were all engaged in lively conversations with those around them.
But he was just drinking nonstop, observing the other owners.
His expression was somewhat weary, his hair slightly disheveled, and his clothes somewhat wrinkled.
It seemed no one was interested in conversing with him.
At that moment, a tall, thin middle-aged man came over, sat beside him, and said, "Old Chen, this won't do. You said you came here to find investors for your near-bankrupt game company, yet you're not making an effort to get to know anyone. Maybe, if you meet a big shot, they could save your company!"
Chen Kaiji took a sip of his drink and shook his head, "You don't understand. I need to observe and find the right target before striking up a conversation."
The tall, thin man said incredulously, "I think you'd be better off casting a wider net. You might run into some boss willing to invest that way. The person you select may not invest at all, and this technique of yours lowers the chances of securing an investment."
Chen Kaiji shook his head, "Casting a wider net is no good. If everyone knows you're desperately seeking investment, they'll think your company is a lost cause and will be even less inclined to invest."
The tall, thin man said helplessly, "Alright then, have you identified a target after all this observation?"
Chen Kaiji took another sip of his drink, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth, "Just now, I found one."
The tall, thin man became interested, "You did? Who?"
Chen Kaiji nodded toward a direction, "Him, the young man who just arrived, said to be the owner of Fengcai Guild and the boss of J Di Lao Company, Xu Yang."
The tall, thin man looked at Xu Yang, who was jovially talking with several billionaires, and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure he will invest in your gaming company?"
Chen Kaiji replied, "With these things, how can anyone be sure? But I believe he's the most likely to invest."
The tall, thin man said, "Then you should go over and talk to him."
Chen Kaiji replied, "No rush. The party has just started, and there will be an opportunity eventually. They are deep in conversation right now. If I went up to them, it would be unwelcome. Besides, I want to wait for a moment when he's alone to approach him."
The tall, thin man gave a wry smile, "I'm afraid someone of his stature won't likely have a moment alone until the party is over."
Chen Kaiji laughed, "I'll just keep an eye on him. I don't believe I won't find an opportunity. With an afternoon this long, he's bound to go to the restroom eventually."
The tall, thin man was taken aback, then raised his thumb in admiration, "Old Chen, I have to say I admire your determination!"
Meanwhile, at Xu Yang's side.
After a conversation with the tycoons,
Two partnership deals were struck. Cai Yangde and Bai Hongchang wanted to collaborate with Fengcai Guild on exclusive live-streaming sales events.
The quality of products from both companies was unquestionable.
Actually, as long as one contacts Fengcai Guild and passes their screening, a collaboration is almost guaranteed.
The two sought to discuss collaboration with Xu Yang, primarily as a means to form a connection with him.
For such matters, Xu Yang was naturally not about to refuse.
```
They exchanged contact information, agreeing to have their companies' respective personnel get in touch after returning.
As for the real estate tycoon Lan Penghua, he simply wanted to meet Xu Yang to expand his network.
Those buying houses hadn't yet thought of any potential areas for collaboration.
There were just some ideas, such as utilizing the Fengcai Guild for advertising whenever new properties were launched.
But since there were no new property launches at the moment, no collaboration took place.
After chatting for over an hour, Xu Yang went to the restroom.
When he came out of the restroom, a slightly overweight middle-aged man blocked his path.
"Mr. Xu, hello, I would like to present you with an investment opportunity that could make you a lot of money."
The middle-aged man was naturally Chen Kaiji.
He had finally caught Xu Yang at the right moment when he went to the restroom.
"Oh? An investment opportunity that can make big money?" Xu Yang looked the man over with visible interest.
Such a person suddenly appearing before him didn't cause any aversion in Xu Yang.
From the way the man addressed him, he must have known who Xu Yang was.
Clearly, the man wanted to rope him into an investment.
Xu Yang was rather enjoying the sensation of being treated like a big shot.
Chen Kaiji looked around then said, "Mr. Xu, please step aside with me. This place is a bit crowded, and there are some things that are inconvenient to discuss here. Can we move to a less crowded area?"
Xu Yang nodded, "No problem."
The two of them moved to the side, away from the other proprietors.
Normal conversation wouldn't be overheard by the others.
Xu Yang spoke up, "Go ahead."
Chen Kaiji said, "Mr. Xu, allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Chen Kaiji, and I am the owner of a gaming company."
Xu Yang smiled and nodded, not saying anything, waiting to hear more.
"My gaming company is called Tenglong Games and had a bit of fame in the industry at one point. However, after heavily investing in the development of a game, we faced a massive failure leading to financial difficulties."
"Our company has a highly professional gaming team. We are currently developing a game called 'Overlord,' a combat-themed game."
"We are launching 'Overlord' soon, and we are confident that it will be a hit, bringing profit to the company. If you invest, once the game is successful, you will receive profits far beyond your imagination."
Chen Kaiji finished speaking and looked at Xu Yang with a burning gaze, seemingly eagerly anticipating an affirmative investment response from him.
Xu Yang couldn't help but laugh.
Just like that, he expected investment?
Creating a hit game isn't that simple.
The guy, claiming he could create a hit game and asking for investment, was being somewhat fanciful.
Xu Yang only played games occasionally and wasn't very familiar with the gaming industry.
His investments were made according to a system.
The last time he invested in the Great White Shark game company was also based on information from the system.
Without the system's guidance, he wouldn't invest recklessly.
There was no need to take unnecessary risks.
Just as he was about to refuse, a system notification rang in his mind.
[Ding! Tenglong's 'Overlord' will become a hit game next year. The company will develop several hit games in the future, and in three years, it will become one of the top five gaming companies in the country!]
Xu Yang's eyes lit up.
Just as this guy had said, this was indeed another investment opportunity to make a lot of money.
