After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 912 - 487: The Power of Capital_2

Previously, she actually looked down on Wu Mengting's approach, feeling that she was too weak in matters of the heart, losing face for women.

But now she began to understand and appreciate Wu Mengting's "capacity for tolerance" because Chen Feng is truly an exceptional man—not only wealthy and good-looking, but also from her hometown, with an impressive background, outstanding abilities, and unique charm.

If you miss out on such a man, where would you find someone better?

Besides, isn't it normal for such an outstanding man to have several women around him? This precisely highlights his personal charm.

Thinking back, in this regard, she had acted inferiorly. Upon learning of Chen Feng's flirtatiousness, she decisively severed any emotional ties, proactively cutting off any potential entanglement with Chen Feng.

And now, even if she wanted to join the competition, she basically had no chance. Compared to the women around Chen Feng, her weaknesses were quite apparent—she wasn't pretty enough.

Even though she could be considered a beauty, she fell significantly short of Wu Mengting's looks, not to mention she was outmatched by Sun Xiaorui and Jin Xinyan. In this aspect, she was quite aware of her limitations.

Furthermore, she lacked the first-mover advantage. Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui knew Chen Feng earlier than she did and had already lived with him. Even if she joined the competition, her chances were slim.

Therefore, after much thought, rather than joining the competition and potentially losing both the competition and her position as general manager, it would be better to closely align herself with Chen Feng as a subordinate and confidant. This way, she could rise to prominence with the help of Chen Feng's mysterious background and become a person of high status.

"Sister Lu, who is that middle-aged man wearing glasses?"

Wu Mengting asked Lu Sijia in the Lu City dialect.

Lu Sijia, after coming back to her senses, quietly explained to her in their hometown dialect.

Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting was naturally very shocked. She had no idea beforehand that Chen Feng would associate with big figures of this level, let alone converse and laugh at the same table, with the other party being very polite to him.

What exactly was going on?

While Wu Mengting was shocked, she was also puzzled.

"Mengting, what kind of background does Chen Feng exactly have? This big shot seems to be quite polite to him,"

Curious, Lu Sijia asked Wu Mengting for information, trying to get an answer.

Unfortunately, even though Wu Mengting knew something about Chen Feng's background, she didn't know the reason behind this. After thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "I don't know. He's from our hometown, and his parents were originally farmers. His relatives and friends don't seem to be particularly remarkable. He has a classmate who could be considered somewhat impressive, but he's only a deputy director at a local police station. Other than that, I really don't know if he has any significant connections."

Lu Sijia said somewhat disappointedly, "It seems you don't fully understand him either."

This remark was something Wu Mengting wasn't particularly fond of, but it seemed to be true.

In contrast to their low-voiced discussion over here, things were much more normal on Chen Feng's side. Mainly, Huo Jindong and Tao Yaoyang were talking, trying to find topics with Chen Feng.

The reason they arranged to have porridge here was that it was recommended by Tao Yaoyang, the local boss. Before this, they attended a small investment circle tea party in the evening and didn't eat much. After it ended, Tao Yaoyang brought them here for porridge.

"The Weitian Battery project we invested in together this time is indeed an excellent one. It's only been a short while, and their stock price has already risen by two dollars. This is all thanks to Mr. Huo's support."

Tao Yaoyang proactively steered the conversation towards the investment project they worked on as he wore a face full of flattery and gratitude.

Huo Jindong laughed heartily, waving his hand slightly, and said, "It's just the beginning. Although new energy will be bullish in the future, the stock price will definitely experience fluctuations and won't always rise. But looking long-term, it will certainly go up. I suggest you hold onto it for the long term."

Tao Yaoyang quickly nodded in agreement, "Of course. Mr. Huo already mentioned this to us before, and personally, I am very optimistic about new energy too."

Tang Xinyi also smiled and said, "The reason why Weitian Battery's stock price has risen this time is mainly that they secured a large order from Litian Automobile. And Litian Automobile is also a listed company that Mr. Huo has invested in, right?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Jindong laughed heartily and didn't respond. But actually, if anyone did a bit of digging, it would be easy to find out. His Jindong Capital has invested in quite a few companies, with Litian Automobile being one of them, though the shares held aren't that many. But to say Weitian Battery just happened to get a big order from Litian Automobile without his involvement is obviously impossible.

In fact, within Jindong Capital, or rather Huo Jindong himself, holds significant influence at Litian Automobile. Because if Litian wants to secure large orders or raise capital, they need his help to coordinate, interlink, or exchange and transfer benefits, among other things.

In this way, they can construct a complex and tightly-knit capital interest network.

And Jindong Capital, or more specifically, Huo Jindong himself, is the central hub of this network, where one action affects the whole.

With such power, which listed companies, businessmen, or interest brokers wouldn't give him face?

And whatever he wants to do, simply leveraging a bit of his connections can exert immense power, influencing people in every facet.

This is the power of capital.

This power is extremely strong, capable of penetrating all aspects of society. It is both feared and coveted by others.

Even though Chen Feng didn't know these people well, he instinctively knew it was best not to get too deeply involved with them.

Not to mention such people could easily sell you out at any moment, even if entangled with their interests, you might get implicated if anything happens to them in the future.

Last time, due to a connection with Tang Xinyi, Chen Feng inevitably got involved with Huo Jindong in some interest entanglement. Fortunately, he had set up some protection. Through Fengmang Film and Television Company and a shell company formed in partnership with Tang Xinyi, he participated in the last private equity project, investing in Weitian Battery.

But in any case, Chen Feng was now genuinely tied in interests with Huo Jindong, making them allies in the Weitian Battery project.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think about the current development of Weitian Battery?"

Chen Feng hadn't talked much, but Huo Jindong still took the initiative to engage him in conversation.

Chen Feng spoke the truth, "I don't know much about this company. I let my company's general manager handle the investment last time and didn't really inquire about it."

Huo Jindong was initially taken aback, then laughed and said, "Mr. Chen, you are truly broad-minded. We're talking about a fifty million investment, and you didn't even follow up on it. Haha, I couldn't have such a disregard for money. Impressive!"

At the end, Huo Jindong deliberately gave Chen Feng a thumbs-up, full of admiration and sincerity in his tone, with no hint of sarcasm.
