Looking at the guy in front of him who wished he had the word rich second generation written on his face, Chu Tianyao, like David Yu, subconsciously felt that the other person was a liar.
After all, there wasn't much in the 1990s, and scammers were everywhere.
Chu Tianyao is an expert in this kind of deceiving people by pretending to be rich.
"I am the crown prince of the Zuo family. I am named Zuo Yilin, a hen near Hong Kong City. Do you think I am a gay friend?"
At this time, after hearing what David Yu said, the man retorted angrily.
"What is this guy talking about?"
David Yu didn't understand, so he looked at Chu Tianyao with doubtful eyes.
"Guanyou, it means liar in Cantonese. This guy said he is the crown prince of the Zuo family in Hong Kong City. He is not a liar. By the way... he said his name is Zuo Yilin."
etc!
Just as Chu Tianyao opened his mouth with a smile, something suddenly came to his mind, and the expression on his face suddenly became startled.
The Zuo family in Hong Kong City, Zuo Yilin...
In Chu Tianyao's memory, a memory that he had almost forgotten in his previous life suddenly appeared.
Speaking of which, this was not the first time he heard the name Zuo Yilin.
It is said that the 1990s was a golden period of economic development for Hong Kong City, one of the Four Asian Tigers. It was also a new era of replacement of old and new families in Hong Kong City.
The emergence of Chinese tycoons such as Li Chaoren represents the emergence of a group of new rich. However, at the same time as the new rich appear, the family businesses that existed in Hong Kong decades ago are also falling with history.
Among them, the Zuo family is one of them. This Zuo family once controlled the real estate in Hong Kong City. Due to the housing price boom in Hong Kong City in the 1960s, the family business plummeted. However, it was not easy for the Zuo family to clear out all the properties at a low price.
, no one expected that real estate prices in Hong Kong City would skyrocket in the 1990s.
For this reason, Li Chaoren, who secretly hoarded land in the 1960s, made a huge fortune, and the Zuo family gradually fell into obscurity.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The real reason for the complete decline of the Zuo family in the late 1990s was because of a young man named Zuo Yilin.
It is said that this person likes to engage in venture capital the most, but almost always invests heavily in any project he values.
It is precisely because of this that this son-in-law was still known as the Angel Investment Ambassador in the business community of Hong Kong.
It is said that the most outrageous projects he has invested in are designing reverse gears for airplanes, and even investing in such fantastic projects as tiling the Great Wall, exploding the Himalayas, and introducing warm currents from the Indian Ocean.
Of course, the rumors may be true or false, but it is undeniable that this young master Zuo was once "famous" in the business community of Hong Kong City. However, almost all the projects he invested in were guaranteed losses and no profits, relying on the name of attracting investment.
There are even more people who are cheating money from this guy.
"Lao Chu, you don't really know this kid, do you?"
In the hall, David Yu saw Chu Tianyao suddenly staring at the boy in front of him without speaking, so he couldn't help but ask.
"It's really off the mark. Is the report in the roadside magazine true?"
Chu Tianyao, who had not heard David Yu's words, came back to his senses and looked at Zuo Yilin, who looked angry in front of him, and couldn't help but ask whether this eldest son Zuo was as outrageous as the rumors said in later generations.
"Young Master Zuo, I asked you where you were. It turns out you came here."
Just when Chu Tianyao was stunned, several guys in suits in the crowd searched for a long time and finally found Zuo Yilin again, and immediately rushed over with a smile.
"Young Master Zuo, let me talk to you about my new project again. This time you only need to invest 10 to 20 million."
"Young Master Zuo, let's talk about my project first. I only need 10 million, and I guarantee that I can give you a 30% profit return next year."
"Don't listen to them, Young Master Zuo, talk to me first. I have a good project that will definitely make money."
Several people rushed to get in front of Zuo Yilin, fearing that they would be left behind.
Seeing this, David Yu couldn't help but be shocked.
Could this guy really be a rich second generation?
"Okay, let me tell you about your projects. I have a lot of money..."
Looking at the people in front of him, Zuo Yilin waved his hand impatiently, but his eyes suddenly fell on Chu Tianyao next to him.
"You know a lot of things. Please help me listen and see if their project has progressed."
Having listened to Chu Tianyao's bragging before, Zuo Yilin was obviously tricked into it, and he subconsciously thought that Chu Tianyao was also a powerful person.
At this time, although the new guys didn't know who Chu Tianyao was, they saw that Zuo Yilin had a good relationship with Chu Tianyao, so they were the first to talk about their projects.
"Young Master Zuo, I am Wang Dapao, the owner of Wang Ji Photography Studio. Please listen to my project first. I guarantee you will like it!"
A tall and thin man wearing glasses spoke anxiously and continued: "I opened a photo studio in Guangdong Province, but now everyone has upgraded to a photo studio. My new project is to specialize in wedding and travel photography, and take photos in Hong Kong City.
Don’t everyone like to take wedding photos? As long as Mr. Zuo is willing to invest money for me to build a few photo studios in Hong Kong City, I can make profits next year if I keep them."
The tall and thin man named Wang Dapao talked eloquently about his chain of photo studio projects. It was obvious that he had indeed worked in this industry.
Although Zuo Yilin didn't understand much, in order not to be too embarrassed, he had to pretend to understand and keep nodding.
"Not bad, not bad. It's just a few photo studios. It can be done with just a few million."
Zuo Yilin shook his head and said, seemingly not taking the millions seriously at all. As he spoke, his eyes looked at Chu Tianyao again.
"Mr. Chu, do you think this bad guy's project is getting off the ground?"
Hearing Zuo Yilin's question, Chu Tianyao did not rush to answer. He just looked at the tall and thin man named Wang Dapao. The man seemed to be extremely confident in his project. After saying these words, he had a look on his face.
A confident smile.
"Your idea is very good. You specialize in wedding and travel photography. This completely differentiates you from other peers. The industry prospects are also relatively optimistic. It is a profitable industry."
Chu Tianyao said.
Hearing these words, Wang Dapao also looked proud.
However, before he could be proud for long, Chu Tianyao's next words made the smile on his face freeze instantly.
"But do you know that Hong Kong City has a lot of money to build a few large photo studios, and it costs millions at least. In addition, it is not just a matter of store investment. Have you ever thought about the issue of customer acquisition? Hong Kong City is not Guangdong Province, Hong Kong
There are so many photo studios in the city, why would I want to take pictures in your shop?"
Wang Dapao was stunned by Chu Tianyao's words, and then retorted: "We are not well-known enough, we can advertise to gain customers."
Chu Tianyao just smiled when he heard this.
"Have you calculated the cost of acquiring customers? Do you know how much it costs to advertise on Hong Kong City TV for a month? Including the funds for opening a store in the early stage, the initial investment will be at least over 10 million."
Chu Tianyao's eyes turned cold, but he continued: "Even if funds are not a problem, have you ever thought about the coexistence of service and technology in the photo studio industry, and how to solve the problem of remote management? How can you, a Guangdong native, want to go to Hong Kong City?
So easy."
Chu Tianyao's words one after another left Wang Dapao stunned and speechless.
He had never thought about these issues before.
"Yes, what Mr. Chu said is also what I want to say. I think I will not invest in this project of yours."
On the side, Wang Dapao was speechless when he heard what Chu Tianyao said, and Zuo Yilin couldn't help but shook his head and refused.
