Chapter 0404: Rejection!

Time is the best teacher, but unfortunately, this teacher always has a frivolous face.

Having wasted half a life in his previous existence, to be honest, Zhao Fusheng had regretted many times, fantasizing that if he had a chance to start over, would his life be a different picture?

Even now, he had thought about whether, if he had dragged Tan Kaixuan into the stock market, relying on his past life's memories, he could dominate the stock market.

And then...

One day, become a big shot in private or public equity?

Or, a bear market suddenly arrives, leading to family ruin?

Who knows, after all, these are things that might happen in fate.

Many times we say life is like playing chess, no regrets after the move, but after all, humans are emotional creatures; if there were truly no regrets, it wouldn't be life.

What is the greatest advantage of a reborn person?

A far-sighted perspective!

Prophetic memory might help one get the first pot of gold, but don't forget, once history is changed, many subsequent details will also change accordingly.

Simply put, the general trend may remain unchanged, but there will definitely be changes in the details, which itself is an unpredictable variable for a reborn person.

As for any IQ advantage or kingly aura, that's all nonsense; those who truly think others are fools don't even know how they died.

The only advantage of a reborn person is seeing further, not seeing more accurately.

So when Zhao Fusheng told Tan's father that the stock market might have problems, he used a speculative tone, not a definitive one.

But what he didn't expect was that even such a tone misled Tan's father's understanding.

Admittedly, Zhao Fusheng had always been very wise, enough to make people overlook his age compared to many peers, even adults.

After all, not many people in their early twenties earn a million by their own ability, and even fewer can double that million in the stock market; it's fair to say they are rare.

But no matter what, he was only twenty-one years old.

In Tan's father's view, Zhao Fusheng was good in every way, but sometimes too cautious, not at all like a young man, always thinking too much and full of worries.

Of course, that's not a bad thing; if one is not cautious enough in business, mistakes are indeed easy to make.

But regarding the stock market, Tan's father felt that Zhao Fusheng was overly cautious.

People are sometimes like this; the saying that money moves hearts is not unfounded. If the stock market had crashed since February, perhaps Tan's father wouldn't have thought this way.

But after Zhao Fusheng pulled out, the stock market fluctuated for a while and then rose again, with ups and downs back and forth. According to Tan's mother's calculations, if their stocks had stayed in the market, they could have made about three million.

Of course, this is under the condition of being able to sell in time at every rise and fall and buy at the lows.

But Tan's mother didn't see it that way; in her view, these were external conditions, unimportant.

What mattered was that if they hadn't listened to Zhao Fusheng and closed their positions, they could have earned that much.

Why do people often like to regret? Probably for this reason.

If I had done this or that back then, I would definitely be such and such now.

Many people like to say this, believing that they would surely succeed.

As for whether other problems might arise or various changes occur if they actually did that, they selectively ignore it.

Tan's father was slightly better than Tan's mother; he didn't blame Zhao Fusheng, but he still felt that Zhao Fusheng was being overly cautious.

Was it really necessary for a young man to be so cautious?

After pondering for a moment, Tan's father said to Zhao Fusheng, "Fusheng, Uncle feels you seem too pessimistic."

"Huh?" Zhao Fusheng was taken aback; he hadn't expected Tan's father to say that.

It had to be said that many times, he himself almost forgot that Tan's father was also a veteran stock investor who had been immersed in the stock market for ten years.

In other words, Zhao Fusheng suddenly realized that he hadn't expected Tan's father to also be greedy.

Often, with any matter, it's not that people fail to understand, but that they think they're clever.

Everyone knows that China's stock market is like a casino—either you lose everything from start to finish, or you win first and then lose later—but everyone thinks they won't be the unlucky one, planning to make a quick profit and run.

In essence, it's still about greed.

Zhao Fusheng had originally thought Tan's father wouldn't be like this, but he hadn't expected that Tan's father was also an ordinary person, how could he not have his own thoughts?

"Fusheng, Uncle knows you're cautious, but you don't understand the current stock market situation. It's been rising all along. If I hadn't stopped your aunt, she would have entered the market long ago," Tan's father said after a pause.

Zhao Fusheng was startled, then laughed; he understood what Tan's father meant.

People in their forties and fifties are at their most mature, but as they grow older, they become accustomed to being shameless and thus care more about face—contradictory, yet perfectly embodied in a single person.

At the root of it all, it's still greed.

With that in mind, Zhao Fusheng smiled and said, "Alright, Uncle, that's just my judgment. I think there might be problems. You'd better be careful. If there's a sudden crash, get out quickly and don't add to your position."

Having said that, he had said all he needed to say. As for how to choose, that was Tan's father's business.

In the process of communication between people, the first thing noticed is definitely the other person's state.

Whether the other person is happy or angry, depressed or excited, the way of communication differs under different emotions. In other words, given Tan's father's current state, Zhao Fusheng felt it was better to say less.

The other person clearly thought he was exaggerating. If he continued the conversation, it might harm their relationship.

Zhao Fusheng understood the principle of knowing when to stop better than anyone.

Even with the closest people or best friends, sometimes one must be mindful of boundaries.

Tan's father chuckled, nodded, and hung up the phone.

Holding the phone, Zhao Fusheng silently sighed. He could actually understand Tan's father's thoughts. In fact, everyone is like this: if they suddenly achieve success or gain a path to success, their ambition swells, always thinking they can reach the sky in one step.

But the problem is, with money, or with taking shortcuts, enough is enough. It's like the critical point of eighteen centimeters—if it exceeds too much, it definitely can't be swallowed.

Profits should be shared, not monopolized; strategies should be made by a few, not the many. Though the principle is clear, many people may not live by it.

Shaking his head, Zhao Fusheng could only pray that Tan's father wouldn't be too greedy and would remember his words at some point.
