Chapter 1779 — Borrowing Money
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"I received it, of course I received it! Brother Mingyue, it's precisely because I received it that I called you. This futures business... doesn't the money come in a little too fast?" Gu Pengzhan was absolutely delighted. The money he had made during this period already matched the Gu Group's total annual profit in ordinary times!
"Haha, the futures market is exactly like that. What's more, with our friend Jianwen around, it's only natural that we earn a bit more." An Mingyue laughed.
"I truly must thank you, Brother Mingyue. With such a fine way to make money, you haven't forgotten your old neighbor!" Gu Pengzhan said gratefully.
"Brother Pengzhan, you needn't thank me. In futures, the more capital you put in, the more you earn. If you hadn't invested so much money, and I'd been doing it on my own, I might not have earned this much either..." An Mingyue said nonchalantly. "Besides, it was merely a side convenience—one sheep to lead or two sheep to drive, the herding is the same. Haha, it was simply the lift of a hand!"
"Brother Mingyue, in that case, I won't be coy and keep saying thanks. Let's talk about something serious. What do you think—if I add a bit more investment now, how would that be?" Gu Pengzhan looked at the numbers on the screen. It was hard not to be tempted by such returns.
"Add more investment?" An Mingyue was slightly taken aback, then said, "Brother Pengzhan, does your Gu Group still have capital? This futures business is just dabbling—it's your actual industry that matters!"
"Brother Mingyue, to be frank with you, since the futures market has been so good right now, I want to make a killing. The Gu Group's development has hit a bottleneck.
"This... isn't that a bit too risky?" An Mingyue said. "Brother Pengzhan, as your old neighbor, I would advise you that futures carry risk—they're not the sure-win, no-loss venture you imagine! When you make money, someone else loses; that's perfectly normal. So once you've made enough, that's fine, why not call it quits?"
Even as he said these words, An Mingyue was praying inwardly that Gu Pengzhan absolutely must not, having been advised by him, truly give up. That would be the end of it—all his previous plans would have been laid out for nothing, and he would have to pay out a large sum of money to boot!
"Haha, as the old saying goes, wealth and honor are sought amid danger. I want to take this gamble!" Gu Pengzhan said.
"Brother Pengzhan, won't you think it over again?" An Mingyue sighed and asked. "The risk on this kind of investment really is far too great. An occasional bit of fun is fine, but over the long term..."
"Brother Mingyue, I've already made up my mind. This time, if I'm to do it, I'm doing it in a big way!" Gu Pengzhan said. "I hope you won't dissuade me any longer, but instead give me your full support!"
"Ah, well... since you've already decided, I won't say anything more..." An Mingyue sighed once again and said with some helplessness, "How big do you intend to go?"
"Brother Mingyue, could you lend me a little money?" Gu Pengzhan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Since your An family isn't going to keep running its enterprise, how about giving me a bit of support instead?"
"Brother Pengzhan, lending money... actually, given the relationship between us, lending you some money would be no problem for me. But you should also know that the An family is not run by me alone. My elder brother An Mingri and my father are both watching..." An Mingyue said with some reluctance. "If I were to directly take out a sum of money and lend it to you, they certainly would not agree!"
