Chapter 540: Chapter 540: This is a Rich Man’s Game

Two consecutive big profits had Ding Lijuan over the moon; she felt completely lifted.

That very night, Ding Lijuan took Ding Liang and the others to celebrate at the Huangdu Grand Hotel, specifically choosing the most expensive Supreme Private Room.

With money in hand, Ding Lijuan became totally unrestrained in her spending.

"Xiao Liang, you truly are your aunt’s lucky star. With the rate we’re making money now, it won’t be long before we hit the jackpot!"

"Here’s to you, my boy. You must lead your aunt along when you strike it rich!"

Ding Lijuan was thrilled, clinking glasses with Ding Liang.

"Aunt, you’re too kind, to be honest, I didn’t expect to make so much."

"In my opinion, it’s all thanks to my aunt’s good luck that things have gone so smoothly."

"I should be the one thanking you!"

Her words hit the sweet spot for Ding Lijuan.

"Hahaha, Xiao Liang, you sure have a way with words, hahaha..."

Ding Lijuan laughed until she couldn’t close her mouth.

The two of them drained their glasses.

Just then, Ding Liang’s phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Ding Liang’s expression immediately turned serious, signaling Ding Lijuan and the others to be quiet.

"Nobody talk, it’s Brother Guo!"

At the mention of Brother Guo, Ding Lijuan and the others immediately fell silent.

Even though they hadn’t met this Brother Guo, they had heard of him; he was the very friend Ding Liang often spoke of, the one who had brought him into the world of venture investment.

Friend might be an understatement; this Brother Guo reportedly had assets worth tens or even hundreds of billions, far beyond their small fry status.

Once the private room quieted down, Ding Liang quickly answered the call.

"Brother Guo, what do you need me for?"

"What, another good opportunity?"

At these words, Ding Lijuan’s eyes instantly lit up.

A good opportunity meant another chance to make a killing!

"Invest! Of course, I’ll invest! My aunt will definitely invest too!"

Ding Lijuan nodded frantically in agreement.

But on the other end, Ding Liang seemed to have received some less than favorable news, and his previously excited expression immediately collapsed.

"Ah? What? I see... Oh, okay then... We’ll think about it some more... Thanks, Brother Guo!"

As soon as Ding Liang hung up the phone, Ding Lijuan immediately began to complain, "Xiao Liang, what’s going on? If there’s a good opportunity, of course, we should jump on it. What’s there to consider?"

Ding Liang sighed, a look of distress on his face, "Aunt, if it were possible, wouldn’t I want to invest? Unfortunately, it looks like we might not even qualify this time!"

"Not qualify? What do you mean?" Ding Lijuan was baffled.

"Because Brother Guo said this project is pretty big, so the investment is also quite hefty, starting at a minimum of fifty million!"

"Fifty million?! That much!" Ding Lijuan was dumbfounded.

Ding Liang nodded, "The investment is substantial, but Brother Guo also said that the risk for this project would be relatively low, with a high potential return, possibly even doubling the investment!"

"Double? That means we could earn a clean fifty million?!"

"Fifty million invested could quickly turn into a hundred million!"

"Low risk, high return, such great projects are hard to find even with a lantern!" Ding Lijuan’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

Ding Liang nodded, "Exactly, Brother Guo also said that such great projects don’t come by often. Miss it this time, and you’ll have to wait at least five years!"

"I also want to seize this opportunity to make a killing, but unfortunately, projects like these with high returns and low risk are destined to be a rich person’s game."

"Even if we want to get involved, we don’t have the qualifications!"

Ding Liang shook his head and sighed, looking very regretful.

Guo Yueling also lamented, "This world is indeed too unfair. Such a great project is right in front of us, and the rich can just casually invest."

"Although we have the insight, we just don’t have the money. If we want to invest, we’d have to sell all our belongings, which makes turning our fortunes around all the harder!"

"Wait a minute!" Ding Lijuan suddenly interrupted Guo Yueling’s speech, "What did you just say?"

Guo Yueling was startled, "I said, if we want to invest, we could only do so by selling all our belongings..."

Smack!

Ding Lijuan slapped her thigh excitedly, "You’re right! Selling our property!"

"Although we don’t have money, we still have a house! Have you all forgotten, our villa is worth thirty million!"

"Add to that the cash we have now, and gather a bit more, fifty million is almost within reach!"

Guo Yueling’s eyes lit up, "Right, how could we have not thought of such a great idea before. It’s only because Sister has a quick mind that she came up with this!"

"Sister’s idea is simply transforming the rotten into the miraculous!"

Guo Yueling’s praise nearly sent Ding Lijuan over the moon. She took great pleasure in it.

However, no sooner had Guo Yueling finished speaking than Han Bowwen immediately put down his chopsticks and asserted firmly, "I disagree!"

"Lijuan, this house is all we have left now. Have you considered what we will do if you lose this bet?"

"You’re not only selling the villa but also borrowing money. You’re essentially betting all our assets!"

"If you really lose this bet, you won’t have any chance to turn around!"

"No matter what, I absolutely won’t agree!"

Han Bowwen, after all, was an old gambler and had sensed danger in this investment.

Ding Lijuan’s face immediately darkened, "Are you sick in the head? The villa is mine; what does it have to do with you? Do I need your permission?"

"Besides, ’No guts, no glory.’ The more you stake, the more you win; isn’t that what you taught me?"

"I..." Han Bowwen was left speechless.

Indeed, these were words he often said at the gambling table.

To Han Bowwen’s surprise, even Ding Liang chose to stand on his side this time.

"Aunt, I think Uncle has a point," Ding Liang said.

"A fifty million investment is no trivial matter, you really need to think it over before making a decision!"

"Moreover, at the end of the day, it was my sister who paid for the villa, buying it for Uncle. If you just decide like this... even if Uncle agrees, I’m afraid my sister won’t approve..."

Ding Liang appeared to be considerate of Ding Lijuan, but in fact, his words were only provoking her.

As expected, Ding Liang’s words reminded Ding Lijuan of how she had been abandoned by Han Jingting and Han Bowwen, which fueled her desire for financial independence and to prove herself even more.

"Enough, all of you! It’s my money, and I call the shots! I’m set on this investment!"
