Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1302 - 1277: Public Humiliation

Hearing what Tian Kun said, Zhou Jian was already eager to make this matter public.

"Ye Chen, let’s see where your face ends up," Zhou Jian looked at Ye Chen with malice.

Ye Chen was chatting with some industry big shots, figuring that it’s better to network than to be idle.

In front of these big shots, he didn’t need to flatter them at all; instead, they were quite courteous to him.

They kept praising and flattering Ye Chen endlessly, mainly because of his investment talent.

Take the last time with that stock nobody favored, Ye Chen invested two billion in it. Initially, Su Wanyi was worried for him, and those who disliked Ye Chen were waiting to see him fail.

But what happened in the end? Not only did he not lose money, he made a massive profit, which became a legend in the business circle.

Everyone wanted to meet this legendary figure with such an investment talent.

Seeing him today was definitely an opportunity to seek advice on investment matters from Ye Chen and to find out his next investment plans.

"Mr. Ye, you’re truly amazing, your insight is so unique, I truly admire you."

"Boss Ye, could you possibly teach us a bit of your investment secrets, so we can all make money together?"

"Mr. Ye, what are you planning to invest in next? Let me tag along with you."

Although these people were also quite famous in the business circle, no one would complain about having more money. Besides, anyone who wouldn’t make money would be a fool.

Upon hearing everyone’s praises, Ye Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You guys overpraise me, it’s just good luck."

No one would believe Ye Chen’s modest words, especially since his previous stock investment was deemed unfavorable by pros, yet Ye Chen invested heavily regardless of others’ opinions. Surely, he has some investment secrets; otherwise, how could he have invested so much all at once?

The critical point is that the stock not only didn’t plummet disastrously, its price soared high, which shocked everyone.

Su Wanyi also looked at the man beside her with admiration; Ye Chen not only has a handsome appearance but is also exceptionally talented, matching the ideal standards of an extraordinary man for women.

"Boss Ye, please don’t be modest, share a bit of your upcoming investment plans with us so we can invest together." everyone spoke in unison.

Ye Chen laughed and said, "I have no investment plans, just playing around occasionally, unlike you who are all business moguls."

At this moment, a man’s voice rang out from behind.

"Mr. Ye, don’t be modest with us, there’s clearly an investment project, yet you’re keeping it to yourself, why not make money together?"

Zhou Jian approached the crowd with a smile.

Ye Chen knew he’s up to something again; he understood Zhou Jian’s character, known for holding grudges. Having suffered at Ye Chen’s hands before, he’s surely looking for a chance to retaliate.

Ye Chen was curious to see what tricks Zhou Jian had up his sleeve.

"Oh, what is Mr. Ye investing in now?" asked a bald man.

Before Ye Chen could answer, Zhou Jian spoke with a smile, "Ye Chen’s latest investment is in unfinished buildings, do you know how much he invested in this project?"

Everyone shook their heads, indicating they couldn’t guess.

Zhou Jian mocked, "Mr. Ye has invested a billion in this project."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked surprised; after all, the unfinished building project was generally not favored, and its acquisition cost wasn’t high either, but Ye Chen invested a billion; talk about money having no place to go.

Among competing business magnates, it’s not about who earns more, given that none among them is short of money, all worth billions.

Their underground rivalry hinged on who had investment prowess.

Yet, even if financially able, it’s unlikely anyone would invest a billion in acquiring unfinished buildings like Ye Chen.

Recalling the previous stock investment, some think Ye Chen’s actions may be unwise, but certainly have his reasons.

Su Wanyi heard and worriedly looked at Ye Chen. She even inquired about his acquisition of the unfinished buildings; that land was remote and lacking in facilities.

At first glance, the location seemed decent, but there were no supporting facilities.

Building there would simply result in unsold properties, thereby whatever was invested would be lost.

Zhou Jian, not planning to stop there, continued to deride, "From what I know, the unfinished building sits in an excellent location, but there’s no access to buses or subways, only reachable by car."

After hearing Zhou Jian’s words, the crowd frowned; logically, such a shrewd Ye Chen couldn’t possibly invest money in such a place; frankly speaking, that billion is likely to go down the drain.

Ye Chen remained silent throughout, maintaining a smile.

He knew Zhou Jian sought to publicly embarrass him.

"Mr. Ye, is what Young Master Zhou said true?" a bespectacled middle-aged man looked at Ye Chen, asking with disbelief.

"Correct, absolutely," Ye Chen replied with a smile.

"I think you must have some reason for investing so much in this unfinished building, right?" the middle-aged man pondered and asked again.

"I’m doing this solely to help my college friend," Ye Chen replied with a smile.

Hearing Ye Chen’s reply, the man was even more amazed; just to help a college friend, he invested one billion in purchasing an unfinished building, seemingly insane.

It’s certainly not what a businessman would do.

"What are your thoughts on acquiring returns from this unfinished building?" the middle-aged man queried again.

"I have no thoughts, I’m not planning on making money off it," Ye Chen replied with a smile.

Ye Chen’s response left the middle-aged man speechless; though what he said was true, he just wanted to test if the Divine-level Investment Skills were truly magical.

"Not planning on making money off it?" the crowd exclaimed.

Yet businessmen are profit-centered, but Ye Chen stated he doesn’t want to profit from it.

If invested lightly, it might make sense, but investing a billion, isn’t that a joke?

"Mr. Ye, you’re definitely not being truthful, right? Otherwise, how could one invest so much in such a derelict unfinished building?" Zhou Jian’s face displayed a mocking smile.

Ye Chen knew this Zhou Jian clearly wanted to humiliate him in front of everyone, but since the system assured successful profit using Divine-level Investment Skills, let’s wait and see.
