Chapter 2327: Resolved to Retire

"Can you stop spacing out all the time?"

Speechless, Tan Kaixuan looked at Zhao Fusheng and complained.

Zhao Fusheng always had a habit of zoning out, his mind wandering who knows where all day.

"It's nothing, go on."

Zhao Fusheng snapped back to reality, smiled awkwardly, and said to Tan Kaixuan.

"I'm saying, if we invest in renovating the arena, it'll cost at least tens of millions more."

Tan Kaixuan explained, "That money would have to come from you and me."

"No problem."

Zhao Fusheng nodded: "Actually, I think we could discuss with Oracle to see if they'd be willing to chip in some..."

"..."

Tan Kaixuan looked at Zhao Fusheng speechlessly.

This guy, his heart was really dark!

He'd just taken over the team, hadn't achieved anything yet, and already he was thinking about squeezing money out of sponsors.

But honestly, he was also tempted by Zhao Fusheng's proposal.

Although buying the Golden State Warriors was just an investment for Tan Kaixuan,

since it was an investment, he naturally didn't want to lose money.

Even if it was just a toy, Tan Kaixuan wouldn't want to lose money playing with it.

After all, losing tens of millions a year, though insignificant compared to their total wealth, still didn't feel good.

Especially for successful people like them.

Having been successful for ten years, succeeding at everything they did, accepting failure now wasn't their style.

If they did something, they had to do it perfectly and achieve results.

That was a common strength of both of them.

It could also be called an obsession to some extent!

And it was precisely because of this

that Tan Kaixuan agreed when Zhao Fusheng mentioned renovating the arena.

Because he knew very well that Zhao Fusheng wanted the team to make money.

"Then let's start as soon as possible."

Tan Kaixuan thought for a moment and said to Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng naturally had no objections and directly instructed Dong Chenxi to send an accounting team to work with Tan Kaixuan's side to begin the tally.

...

...

Dong Chenxi had no objections to their almost reckless approach.

For her, the center of future investment was never something like the Golden State Warriors.

Zhao Fusheng spent money, but his ability to make money was also formidable.

After staying in the US for a few days, Zhao Fusheng and Dong Chenxi returned to China together.

He needed to chair a company meeting.

"You really know how to enjoy life."

Dong Chenxi sat in Zhao Fusheng's plane, swirled the wine glass in her hand, and said with a faint smile.

Zhao Fusheng's private jet was not only luxuriously decorated but also stocked with many fine wines.

In Dong Chenxi's words, it was the extravagant life of a nouveau riche.

To that, Zhao Fusheng claimed he was innocent.

What a joke!

Being rich wasn't his fault.

Sometimes he found certain inexplicable views on the internet baffling; in those people's eyes, being rich was the original sin, and any rich person was born to bear many accusations.

Donating too little was wrong, being wasteful was wrong, and even living luxuriously was wrong.

In their view, since one was rich, one should keep a low profile.

Only then would it fit their logic.

"That's pure envy of the rich."

Zhao Fusheng smiled upon hearing this and said to Dong Chenxi, "We're familiar, but I'll still sue you for defamation."

"Heh..."

Dong Chenxi gave Zhao Fusheng a look that said 'you figure it out,' too lazy to even tease him.

"By the way, are you going back this time to also seek financing for Future Real Estate?"

Taking a sip of wine, Dong Chenxi remembered something and asked Zhao Fusheng.

"What, has someone been asking around?"

Zhao Fusheng was a bit puzzled and asked in confusion.

Generally, Dong Chenxi rarely concerned herself with such matters.

She was mainly responsible for Future Investment, not other projects of the Future Group.

Of course, Future Investment held shares in most subsidiaries of the Future Group, which was Zhao Fusheng's way of controlling the Future Group.

"Not really."

Dong Chenxi shook her head: "I was just thinking, if you plan to seek financing for Future Real Estate, I'm considering whether we should maintain our current shares."

She paused and said seriously, "I've done some research; the real estate industry has great potential for development in the future. Once listed, it could become a breakout company."

Zhao Fusheng raised an eyebrow and looked at Dong Chenxi in surprise.

He hadn't expected Dong Chenxi to have her eyes on the domestic stock market.

But since he planned to retire, he naturally wouldn't focus on corporate management anymore.

So Zhao Fusheng said frankly to Dong Chenxi, "No need."

"No need?"

Dong Chenxi immediately put down her wine glass upon hearing this.

Woman's intuition told her that Zhao Fusheng seemed to have something else to say this time.

"You see, I plan to retire completely."

Zhao Fusheng looked at Dong Chenxi and said slowly.

Retire completely?

Dong Chenxi was extremely surprised, her eyes full of doubt.

"I already have more than enough money. Once Facebook goes public, how much wealth do you think I'll have?"

Zhao Fusheng looked at Dong Chenxi earnestly.

Dong Chenxi was taken aback, then said to Zhao Fusheng, "You mean, after going back, you'll gradually reduce your shares in these companies?"

"Sort of."

Zhao Fusheng nodded: "Whether it's Future Advertising or Future Real Estate, our shares will gradually be diluted. We don't need to keep the position of major shareholder."

"And then?"

Dong Chenxi pressed on.

She knew that Zhao Fusheng's next answer would be more important.

Zhao Fusheng smiled: "Then we go public. After going public, we can get more capital and then exit."

He spoke very seriously.

Dong Chenxi could tell that Zhao Fusheng wasn't joking.

"Then I..."

"You still have your own things to do."

Zhao Fusheng shrugged: "Don't think you have nothing to do. Future Investment isn't going public. You have so much capital in hand. I'll leave you some directions; how you invest specifically is up to you. I won't interfere."

Dong Chenxi's lips parted slightly; she stood there stunned, not speaking for a long time.

Her mind was a bit chaotic now!

What Zhao Fusheng had just said wasn't hard to understand.

In short, he planned to sell off most of the subsidiaries under the Future Group and then completely transition to investment.

And the head of the investment company would naturally be herself.

As for Zhao Fusheng?

He said he planned to retire completely.

In other words, Zhao Fusheng intended to spend the rest of his life just spending money.

Looking at Zhao Fusheng's serious face, Dong Chenxi suddenly didn't know what to say.

Though reluctant to admit it, she had to say that Zhao Fusheng's choice was actually not wrong.

A thirty-year-old man with a net worth of tens of billions, possibly even over a hundred billion dollars, with a young child, didn't need to worry about inheritance issues.

Under these circumstances, what choice could Zhao Fusheng make?

If it were her, she would probably do the same.

Shaking her head helplessly, Dong Chenxi finally understood what Zhao Fusheng really wanted to do.

Though she wanted to dissuade him, she found herself at a loss for words.

After all, she wasn't Zhao Fusheng; she couldn't decide his future for him.

But Dong Chenxi actually understood that Zhao Fusheng's mind was no longer on the company.
