Chapter 372: Chapter 372: The Missed 30 Million US Dollars

Zhuang Rouhui had no idea about these matters. Although they were husband and wife, Li Fuhong rarely communicated with her, and Zhuang Rouhui was even less likely to take the initiative to understand these business affairs.

At most, she would regularly check the accounts to ensure that the money wasn’t being siphoned off for some homewrecker.

Zhuang Rouhui couldn’t help but glance at Li Fuhong.

Li Fuhong cursed inwardly, but his face was full of smiles, "My wife is very shy, let me explain to you instead."

Smith, however, wasn’t so easily fooled, "No, no, if a person wants to change the world, they should start by influencing those closest to them. If you can’t even make the person closest to you understand what you’re doing, how can I believe in what you are doing?"

The leaders also urged Zhuang Rouhui with their eyes—how could she not seize such a great opportunity?

Recalling the documents she had glanced over in the car, Zhuang Rouhui stammered, "World Electronics... Technology... Elec, computer."

She tried to remember but could only recall a few prominent words from the cover.

The situation became awkward.

Smith laughed, shook his head, and left Li Fuhong’s booth.

Li Fuhong’s face was ashen as he desperately tried to make amends.

"Mr. Smith, I hope you can give me two minutes..."

Smith turned and gave him a meaningful look, "Sorry, this era is developing too fast; everyone’s time is very precious."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Li Fuhong barely managed to control the urge to pound the table.

He wanted to grab one of the leaders in a white shirt, "Director Zhang, could you please talk to Mr. Smith again for me? This was just an accident."

The leader took a few steps forward to avoid Li Fuhong’s plea. He had been the one to set up the connection for Li Fuhong, and had been quite optimistic about him until today.

"Fuhong, many times an opportunity comes only once, and if missed, there’s nothing to be done."

The group walked away, leaving Zhuang Rouhui’s face shifting between pale and flushed.

Li Fuhong said coldly, "Is this the kind of financial luck you bring me?"

Zhuang Rouhui wanted to retort. According to China’s traditions, who would specifically ask a boss’s wife? Clearly, that foreigner was out of his mind.

But under Li Fuhong’s stern gaze, she had to look away.

In a quiet voice, she said, "Maybe something better is yet to come. That foreigner looked pretty ordinary, nothing special about him."

Li Fuhong was almost amused to anger, "It seems that you really didn’t look at the materials I gave you at all. The investment companies in Smith’s hands are very powerful globally, and you say he’s nothing special?"

"Have you forgotten how we lost that order five years ago? Wasn’t it because you mistook the partner for my mistress and slapped her hard? The fact that they didn’t hold you responsible in the end was only out of respect for me."

With that brought up again, Zhuang Rouhui didn’t dare talk back and lowered her head like a quail.

Suddenly, she thought of that girl named Yue Qingqing.

Every encounter with her seemed to bring nothing good—spit—indeed a jinx!

The news that came afterward made Zhuang Rouhui feel even more regretful.

Apparently, just as Smith was about to leave feeling disappointed, he suddenly spotted a company also in the emerging technology industry, led by a young man in his mid-twenties.

However, the young man named Zhou Yiran spoke confidently to Smith without any stage fright.

He combined emerging technologies with China’s traditional culture.

He suggested that Taoism’s notion of ’one gives rise to two, two gives rise to three, three gives rise to all things’ resembled the way that the binary codes of 0 and 1 create the world.

He also showcased some of the company’s newly developed products.

They amazed the well-traveled Smith so much that he decided on the spot to invest in Zhou Yiran, starting with an initial investment of thirty million US dollars.

If the collaboration went well, there would be follow-up investments.

When Zhuang Rouhui heard this figure, she nearly fainted and didn’t dare to look at Li Fuhong’s thunderous face.

This opportunity... could have been theirs...
