Chapter 21 8 : Come prepared?
It was because what Li Ruotai said was too exaggerated that Gu Ruibo wanted to “risk” the test. Mao Rusong's words were also one of the reasons why he wanted to test Wu Chen.
Mao Rusong mentioned that Wu Chen knew about the incident where he cheated Ding Ruilong, and that incident… shouldn't be known to outsiders.
It felt like Wu Chen seemed to know a lot of things.
And so, he tested him.
However, Gu Ruibo didn't expect Wu Chen to help him solve anything. He just wanted to see what Wu Chen would say and how much he could say, so that he could more clearly judge what Wu Chen was capable of.
What he didn't know was that his question was playing into Wu Chen's hands.
According to Wu Chen's original plan, when he came to Shanghai, he would contact Mao Rusong first, and then Gu Ruibo…
Mao Rusong was of little use for the time being. He just wanted to keep him out of the way, but Gu Ruibo was of great use!
Unexpectedly, things went more smoothly than he imagined.
“Your eldest brother…” Wu Chen turned to look at Gu Ruibo, put down his chopsticks, and said with a smile, “It’s very difficult to win against him. Although his Huarui Fund has quite a few problems, it’s still pretty good overall. He is very discerning in investing, and he has done very well in recent years…”
Gu Ruibo’s eldest brother was his half-brother, named Gu Ruiqiang.
Gu Ruiqiang was thirty-five years old this year, three years older than Gu Ruibo. He was the eldest of the third generation of the Gu family. The two brothers were both core children of the Gu family and were biological brothers. The age gap was not big. In fact, they weren’t hostile to each other.
Both brothers were business geniuses. Each of them was selected into the Forbes 30 under 30 business elite list before the age of 30.
In the circle of the big family, the two brothers were even praised together and were called the “Double Stars of the Gu Family”.
Gu Ruibo was a character who could directly compete with Ding Ruilong in business. He was really strong! But now, Gu Ruibo was not as strong as his elder brother in terms of business achievements, honors, and asset size.
The two brothers had a good relationship.
But Gu Ruibo was dissatisfied with his elder brother! He always felt that because his eldest brother was born a few years earlier than him, he would definitely be inferior to him. He was the eldest of the three generations of the Gu family! Therefore, the two brothers now had a… healthy competitive relationship.
Wu Chen said a few words briefly.
From what Gu Ruibo heard, although he knew that Wu Chen did know some things about the Gu family, but… what he said seemed like nonsense, nothing substantial.
But he heard Wu Chen speak again.
“But…” Wu Chen turned his head and looked at Gu Ruibo with a smile, “Most of your Gu family’s resources are used to help your brother. Although you are doing a good job, you can’t conflict with your brother in business. The resources are also his to use. If you want to win against him, it’s really difficult, but… it’s not that you don’t have a chance. It just depends on whether you dare to do it. ”
It’s not that there’s no chance?
But do I dare to do it?
Gu Ruibo analyzed the meaning of Wu Chen’s words. Is there anything Wu Chen can do?
I just tested Wu Chen, but is there really a way?!
“Mr. Wu, do I dare to do it…” Gu Ruibo was a little surprised and took the initiative to explain, “Actually, I have a good relationship with my eldest brother. Do I dare to do it…” Gu Ruibo did not say it clearly, but Wu Chen understood what he meant.
He misunderstood Wu Chen. Wu Chen said “dare you dare”. He thought Wu Chen was referring to means of hurting his eldest brother and destroying his eldest brother’s business. Gu Ruibo would definitely not do these things. He just wanted to prove that he was better at business than his eldest brother. Gu Ruibo was a relatively peaceful person, and his reputation as “Brother Xiaogu” was very good. He and Ding Ruilong would use various underhanded tactics in business wars, but only in business wars. They would never involve others.
Even if Ding Ruilong knew, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
“It has nothing to do with your eldest brother.” Wu Chen said with a smile, “As for business, let’s just say that business makes money. If you want to be richer and more successful than your brother, then you have to…” Wu Chen did not continue.
He just smiled.
“Just have to… What does “do you dare” refer to?” Gu Ruibo asked, not quite understanding.
“Ding Ruilong.” Wu Chen smiled.
“Ding Ruilong?” Gu Ruibo’s expression changed. Of course, he knew that Wu Chen was a thorn in Ding Ruilong’s side, and Wu Chen was also messing with Ding Ruilong. The source of the conflict was Li Ruobing, and in a larger sense, it was the marriage between the Ding family and the Li family.
This thing was huge.
Gu Ruibo didn’t want to interfere. Do you dare? Do you dare to kill Ding Ruilong?
Gu Ruibo first thought this subconsciously, but then immediately felt that something was wrong.
As Wu Chen said before, “Let’s just talk about business and make money.”
His words were very clear.
“Mr. Wu, Ding Ruilong and I…” Gu Ruibo paused in thought, and then said, “He and I have been fighting for years. If I could beat him, I would have won long ago. I also want to steal his business. But… ”
What to dare to do or not? If it’s just a business war with Ding Ruilong, robbing Ding Ruilong’s business and growing his, there’s nothing to dare!
This was what Gu Ruibo had been doing.
One thing worth mentioning was that the competition between Gu Ruibo and Ding Ruilong was about the investment business, and the investment business was the business that Ding Ruilong was doing before he made the bet with Li Ruobing. The “Ruilong Group” he established due to his bet and named after himself was a one-man business.
Although Ding Ruilong focused his main energy on the “Ruilong Group” in the past four years, but it was naturally impossible to let go of his original business. The decision-making was still made by him, and a large number of business talents from the Ding family were also assisting him.
“I understand.” Wu Chen cut off Gu Ruibo’s words, paused and said, “I know the business competition between you and Ding Ruilong… So I said it depends on whether you dare or not. Your original method will definitely not work. And…as long as you dare to do it, I think that within a year at most, your business achievements will not only catch up with your brother, but even leave him far behind!”
That’s an exaggeration!
One year? Not only catch up but also leave him behind?
Too exaggerated!
“If you are interested, we can find a time to talk alone.” Wu Chen said with a smile.
Gu Ruibo was hesitant, thinking for a moment before saying, “Just… business?”
He wanted to make sure that if it was just business and some business methods, then even if he didn’t believe what Wu Chen said now, he was still willing to discuss it in detail with Wu Chen.
“Yes, business, making money,” Wu Chen confirmed.
“Okay… let’s go somewhere after dinner…” Gu Ruibo agreed.
“Okay… I’ll make a call.” When Gu Ruibo agreed, Wu Chen took out his cell phone, dialed a number, and put the phone to his ear.
Gu Ruibo was stunned when he saw this scene.
Calling already?
Gu Ruibo suddenly felt cold, because he clearly felt… Wu Chen seemed to be prepared! It was obviously something he took the initiative to explore and ask during a casual chat, but he felt that Wu Chen was already prepared for this!
The more he thought about it, the colder he felt.
Because if this was true, then Gu Ruibo thought… Wu Chen came to Shanghai to find Mao Rusong, but he didn’t come to him, Gu Ruibo!
He was the one who approached Wu Chen to solve Mao Rusong’s troubles.
Just as Gu Ruibo was thinking about it, Wu Chen’s phone call went through.
“Hey, you just called me, but you’re missing me again?”
Gu Ruibo could vaguely hear a very sweet and gentle woman’s voice on Wu Chen’s phone.
“Come to Shanghai.” Wu Chen said directly.
“Huh? Me? Tou want me to go?”
“Yes, come and have a chat.”
“Okay! I’ll get ready and leave right away.”
Very simply.
After hanging up the phone…
“She can arrive in a few hours.” Wu Chen turned to Gu Ruibo and said.
“Who…” Gu Ruibo asked immediately.
“You’ll know it when you see it.” Wu Chen smiled and said, “You know her.”
It was Wu Yurong!
