The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 277

Chapter 277: 277

"This matter isn’t as simple as it seems. Private equity may sound trivial, but rewind fifty years, and you would have been arrested and subjected to public criticism. That would be walking down the capitalist path, betraying communism."

"If we rewound fifty years, I would have become a little red soldier instead of doing this."

"Don’t make jokes."

Ye Tian obediently bowed his head and shut up.

Tang Su glanced at him and said indifferently, "Right now, the market is flush with liquid funds and lots of cash flow. In general, resources are abundant. But the question is, how should this money be used? Although everyone has their own ideas, in the end, everyone hopes to find a more profitable method. Store it in a bank? Only fools do that. Banks now are still fine, but back when the bank laws were not established ten years ago, this money would have been hollowed out by others, and there was no need to pay it back anyway. The country would naturally fill the gaps. The subprime mortgage crisis in the United States is the best example. Nowadays, investing in stocks earns more money than keeping it in banks, and this path to wealth is increasingly recognized as correct, at least in the general direction."

"So does that mean it’s feasible?"

Tang Su turned her head and looked at Ye Tian squatting on the ground. "What do you look like? Go get a stool."

"Okay, coming right up."

Ye Tian ran over with a backed stool and sat down opposite Tang Su.

"The direction may be right, but it’s not easy to follow through."

"That’s true. If it was that easy to succeed with the right direction, countless people would have made it by now."

"Like you would know."

Ye Tian stuck out his tongue and pulled a funny face.

Tang Su gave him a glance, straightened the hem of her sweater on her legs, and crossed one leg over the other as if lecturing a child, "Public institutions, whether individual or private collectives, can’t get involved unless you have overwhelming backing. Otherwise, you can only honestly become an office worker. To tell you the truth, the real big money is made in public funds, but few people can get their hands in it. Come to think of it, private equity has only emerged in recent years, and it originated in Western countries. But when it spread to our country, it became a scam for many, along with numerous cases of illegal fundraising. Isn’t it broadcast on TV every day? Shanghai and Shenzhen are doing relatively well in this regard. However, there was the case of the Wenzhou boss embezzling funds and fleeing. The coastal areas are so troubled, not to mention the less developed inland economies. Therefore, this road is not easy to travel."

"So there’s no hope?"

"It depends on the person, the money, and the opportunity. Since Zheng Xinru has been paving the way, naturally the obstacles would be smaller, otherwise, her years spent in Tianhe City would have been in vain. Plus, the resources you have in your hands—Zuo Zhengyang, Shen Xuepei, the Slow Rhythm Bar, and those small and medium business owners—are all your potential clients and partners. What you need to do is to meet more people and integrate more resources. All of these are essential for a private equity fund. Tianhe City is politically sensitive, and the management of money flows and usage is relatively strict. You guys need to be careful."

Money itself is extremely sensitive.

"I got it, wife. Thanks for the concern and warning."

"Cut it out and bring the tools."

Ye Tian was stunned; Tang Su was referring to the washboard—a bit of playful banter between the two of them.

"Bring... bring the tools for what?"

Tang Su glared at him crossly, "When Sister Zheng came by just now, I saw your eyes light up. And when I said I was leaving, you didn’t even fart. You must be eager for me to leave, right?"

Ye Tian: "..."

"Go, get the tools! The remote control!"

Ye Tian: "!!!!"

Yalan Club is a high-end elite club single-handedly created by Pingrui Chen, who later handed it over to Sun Jiande, just like the experience with the Slow Rhythm Bar. From this, Ye Tian concluded that Pingrui Chen is a practical idealist who enjoys committing to creating what others dare not or cannot do. But once accomplished or acknowledged by others, he would immediately lose the original passion, either disposing of it or passing it on to someone else. He could bow down to reality yet also devote himself to something out of a genuine personal interest. This approach has its pros and cons; it can be beneficial for mental and physical health, but it also means that he doesn’t have a trump card, with his resources scattered elsewhere, potentially preventing them from converging in his hands. In the end, he still met his demise.

Ye Tian admires this attitude to work, but he cannot afford to do the same at his current position. After all, without a certain stature, striving to be a carefree crane is unrealistic; he’d rather be a down-to-earth sparrow that flies low but doesn’t risk a deadly fall.

According to what Zheng Xinru said, the network here is a significant wealth. If used well, making money out of thin air isn’t impossible. But that entirely depends on your own ability. Nobody wants to lose out, especially the smart ones.

Ye Tian stood on the top floor of the club, overlooking the entire establishment.

As Tianhe City’s most exclusive club, Yalan deserves this honor. When Pingrui Chen started building this club, he spent no less than fifty million yuan in total, and that was back in the year 2000, when money hadn’t depreciated to its current state. The massive investment here once made all the wealthy men and women of the city yearn for it. Every detail here is carefully chosen, from the circular arch bridge over the river made of the finest white jade stone from Beiping’s Shijingshan area to the sand in the desert base, which is shipped from the Sahara desert in Africa and replaced every two years. Here, there is no distinction between VIPs and the ordinary; every room is top-tier, from luxurious medieval European castles to the quaint and elegant houses of Jiangnan. And these aren’t even the main attractions, for those who can afford them do not care about such things. What Pingrui Chen strives to provide is what the wealthy cannot obtain elsewhere.

Anyone who can become a member at Yalan Club gains privileged access to the club’s benefits, with all future expenses covered by Yalan Club, whether it’s dining at a five-star hotel or indulging abroad. An alluring offer. However, there’s a prerequisite: only those "who can become members" are eligible. As for how high the bar is set for this "can," that’s for Pingrui Chen to
