About two months ago, when Lu Bancheng had gone to Shanghai, heâd had a meal with Gu Yusheng. During the meal, Lu Bancheng had mentioned that it had been boring to focus on the investment of entertainment excursions all day, so he had wanted to try something new.
At the time, they were just chatting, and Gu Yusheng had asked, âWhatâs new to play with?â
Lu Bancheng had happened to be playing games on his cell phone, so he answered casually. âMobile games.â
Neither Gu Yusheng nor Lu Bancheng had cared too much about that suggestion. However, tonight when Gu Yusheng had heard that the girl student had said she was going to apply for a job in a gaming company, he brought up the conversation heâd had with Lu Bancheng.
Gu Yusheng had changed topics so fast that Lu Bancheng couldnât keep up. Confused, he asked, âWhat?â After a few moments, Lu Bancheng realized what he had meant. âYou want to invest in mobile games? In recent years, the mobile games industry has developed quite well, but Iâm unfamiliar with it, so itâs a bit troublesome...â
âThen just do it.â Gu Yushengâs tone was calm, as if heâd known it would be a piece of cake. âIâll do it with you.â
Lu Bancheng thought Gu Yusheng wasnât serious, so he didnât think too much of it as he asked, âReally?â
Gu Yusheng took a sip of black tea and continued speaking with a relaxed voice. âItâs okay. Even if we havenât learned everything about it yet, we can just purchase a company.â
Lu Bancheng, surprised, looked up at Gu Yushengâs eyes. Does he really mean it?
Gu Yusheng had indeed meant it. âIâve heard about a company called Hui Shi, which had been specializing in mobile games in recent years. It hasnât been listed yet, but its prospects are good. If you agree, tomorrow, Iâll arrange a meeting between Xiaowang and the company owner, and make a purchase.â
Hui Shi... Lu Bancheng had always loved playing games, so he knew a bit about it. Ah, it truly is a good company.
For Gu Yusheng, the Gu Company and the new company in Shanghai had developed exceptionally well.
Even if Hui Shi is very promising, Gu Yusheng wouldnât pay much attention to it, right? Why would he suddenly want to invest in it? When a company is at its peak, it seems irrational to purchase it...
Lu Bancheng thought about it for a few seconds, but still couldnât understand what Gu Yusheng was thinking. âWhy did you suddenly think of purchasing that company?â
Gu Yusheng glanced leisurely at Lu Bancheng, then looking down, slowly swallowed a mouthful of black tea without answering his question.
âAnd you know, itâs not a good time for purchasing. You should at least wait until Hui Shiâs games arenât so hot and stocks have relaxed a bit, then it may cost much less...â
Lu Bancheng hadnât finished speaking when Gu Yusheng, whoâd been staring at the dark red liquid in his teacup absentmindedly, suddenly said, âIâve waited too long, and I donât want to wait any longer.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat?â Lu Bancheng asked in disbelief.
Gu Yusheng didnât reply. He regained his sights and composure, put down his teacup, and slowly said, âItâs settled. Tomorrow, I will leave for Shanghai alone, and Xiaowang will stay in Beijing for a meeting with someone in charge of Hui Shi.â
After a pause, Gu Yusheng spoke again. âItâs getting late now, Iâll take you back to rest.â
âThereâs no need for that, Iâll just take a taxi myself.â Lu Bancheng took out his cell phone to call for a ride.
Once Lu Bancheng had gone, Gu Yusheng sat on the sofa of the cafe for a while. A few moments later, he got up to sign the bill, then went back to the room upstairs.
After bathing, he stood in front of the french window, lit a cigarette, and smoked restfully.
