Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 613 - 215: Liu Qing’s Strategy of Winning Over—Tying the Red Thread

Chapter 613: Chapter 215: Liu Qing’s Strategy of Winning Over—Tying the Red Thread

Listening to the flattery from the other side, as if it didn’t cost a thing.

Sun Dasheng outwardly appeared pleasant.

But inside, he was sneering: a weasel wishing the chickens a Happy New Year.

He didn’t particularly like this group of pure businessmen in the private room.

However, their influence was substantial.

He couldn’t just flip the table; he had to go along for now.

When it came to playing Tai Chi, he was naturally not as skillful as these old foxes, but as long as they didn’t know his true intentions, he could still manage.

Sun Dasheng had a strange feeling while chatting with them.

Did they consider him one of their own? Or a similar kind of person?

Was this an admission that capitalists had nothing good?

With Sun Dasheng’s deliberate cooperation, the atmosphere in the private room was very harmonious.

Eating, drinking, having fun, and then someone, he’s not sure who, started discussing history and the world.

Oh wow.

Look at these guys, with some money, their minds drift where they shouldn’t.

Even Alima, probably under such an atmosphere for long, ended up saying ’outrageous’ things at the Shanghai City economic forum.

Not sure if he was being used as a pawn to test those above, or if he lacked any political acumen to say such nonsense.

In the end, it affected a certain payment company’s listing.

As the group of elderly people chatted further, the topics drifted far off, and Liu Qing quickly brought the topic back.

Today’s main character isn’t you old men, but this exceptionally young President Sun.

Liu Qing, holding a glass of red wine, walked over to Sun Dasheng and raised her glass, "President Sun, I toast to you!"

Sun Dasheng didn’t put on airs and drank with her.

Then she changed the tone and said, "President Sun, I’ve always had a question, and I wonder if you could help me understand it?"

"Oh? What question? Tell me, if I can help you, Sister Liu, I certainly won’t refuse."

Sun Dasheng didn’t commit fully, just saying he’d try within his ability.

As for the standard of his ability, of course, he decides that himself.

"Haha... It’s not really a tough question, I just wanted to ask about Keno Capital’s investment strategy, because I also have a background in investment banking, so I’m quite interested."

She wasn’t wrong, having joined Goldman Sachs right after graduating from Harvard, promoted to Executive Director of Goldman Sachs Asia in 2008, and promoted to Managing Director of Goldman Sachs Asia in 2012.

She only officially joined Didi in 2014 as Chief Operating Officer, and became President the following year.

Tracing her career trajectory before graduation, she is a bona fide investment banker.

So when she said she was interested in Keno Capital’s investment strategy, it was just a professional exchange, not involving anything else.

Is it really so?

Sun Dasheng didn’t know.

But he also didn’t care.

He set down his wine glass and casually said, "Keno Capital’s investment strategy is actually quite simple, just investing in industries and enterprises I find promising, striving for excess profits. I imagine all investment banks think this way, right?"

"Haha... President Sun, you’re treating me like an outsider with that answer. While that’s true, other investment banks are investing in popular sunrise industries with vast growth prospects, whereas what you invest in is quite different, more like the opposite, almost as if...

"Doing the opposite of other investment banks?" Sun Dasheng supplemented.

"Yes, yes! Please tell me, why is that?" Liu Qing’s eyes were fixed on him, seemingly trying to discern something from his face, but the man opposite remained unfazed, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

"Of course, I see their potential, otherwise am I just bored with too much money burning a hole in my pocket?" Sun Dasheng said with a laugh.

Regardless of whether the others believed it, he certainly did.

Uh...

Liu Qing hit a not-so-soft wall, feeling both annoyed and slightly exhilarated, since she rarely encountered failures or setbacks.

But this man in front of her gave her a completely different feeling, igniting an endless fighting spirit within her.

Aside from this, Sun Dasheng was still very courteous and engaging on other topics.

In the end, both hosts and guests parted on good terms.

Watching Sun Dasheng’s leaving figure.

Liu Qing let go of the supportive hand she had been holding and asked her father, "Will he be our ally?"

At that moment, Liu Lianxiang no longer appeared frail; even at 80, he exuded a remarkable presence, and he shook his head slightly, "I’m afraid not."

Liu Qing was somewhat surprised, unable to believe even her father couldn’t see through him completely.

That she fell slightly short before him wasn’t a problem.

She felt slightly more at ease.

"Try again, it would be best to bring him onto our boat." Liu Lianxiang sighed.

"Yes, Father!" Liu Qing clearly sensed her father lacked the previous calm and confidence.

Father was old.

These four words suddenly appeared in her mind.

Should I be preparing to take over?

...

After this time.

Sun Dasheng understood.

He was already a giant.

Pretending to be weak and growing discreetly was no longer possible.

His strategies needed some adjustments.

Not too high profile, not too low profile.

Medium profile?

Well, that word doesn’t exist.

There should be appropriately high-profile, being high-profile when necessary, making their presence known.

Otherwise, people might think you’re easy to bully.

When he got back home.

The next day, he presented the company’s development report to the leadership.

The leadership found time to see him once and seemed very satisfied with his report, saying, "That’s right, leading the way for others, well done, Sun."
