How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 329 - 158: Going Viral Online

As IDE Capital began its official operations, everyone in the company was busy with the Yangcheng International Race Track project, but Gu Heng had once again reverted to his hands-off management style...

He spent his days playing games with Kim Jisoo...

Or driving his collection of supercars out for a blast through the streets...

He couldn’t feel any of the hardships that the business magnates wrote about in their memoirs during the start-up phase...

...

At that moment, Gu Heng was sitting in the multimedia classroom at the Guanghua School of Management, Peking University...

The huge projection screen was displaying a variety of case studies...

The multimedia classroom was quite large...

A rough estimate would put it at about three to four hundred square meters...

But in such a large space, there were only a handful of people sitting in the audience...

There were men and women among these few, but none of them were particularly young...

Even the youngest looked to be about 30 years old...

The most preposterous was an old man sitting in the front row, his hair half gray, likely older than any professor who might stand on the podium...

As for the others...

Nearly every one of them exuded an air of elitism, but none had the slightest semblance of a student...

Among the few people, probably only Gu Heng looked a bit like a student...

But facing the course’s array of professional terminologies, he couldn’t understand a word...

"In summary, financial markets are classified according to different standards, generally into money markets and capital markets. Money markets are the venues for short-term capital flow and transactions, mainly including interbank markets, bill markets, and interbank lending markets."

In the last 30 minutes, I’ve covered the basics of financial markets and investment portfolios, you can take a two-hour break for now. This afternoon, back here, we’ll focus more on the principles and changes of investment portfolios in the world’s capital markets."

Watching the professor pack up his laser pointer, Gu Heng let out a long sigh of relief...

Jiang Wen had even invited him to go racing today, but Gu Heng had declined...

Primarily because he wanted to relive the feeling of being a student...

But clearly, this feeling was not enjoyable...

Having been a poor student even in high school, Gu Heng found it difficult to grasp even general university knowledge, let alone these extremely specialized graduate-level subjects...

And according to the professor, today’s content was just the basics...

If he couldn’t understand the basics, was there any point in continuing?

Gu Heng had already made up his mind. In the future, he would treat Peking University more as a long-term tourist attraction, visiting when he had the time. As for attending classes... well, that was for someone else to worry about...

Why bother when he couldn’t understand a thing?

During a particularly boring moment in class, Gu Heng searched in the system store and found that mastery at the EMBA level was for sale, though it was quite expensive, costing 100 million...

Gu Heng had invested all his personal assets into IDE Capital, leaving himself only 100 million in spending money...

He was counting on that money to keep making more and maintain his current lifestyle...

There are no rewards for spending in the system store...

He’d consider purchasing it when he felt that 100 million was a small amount of money in the future...

With that thought, Gu Heng stood up from the back row and walked towards the classroom door...

Halfway there, he heard a middle-aged man calling out to him, "Classmate, I’ve booked a private room at Yanchun Garden for lunch. It’s a fate that we could meet here at Peking University. Are you interested in joining us for a meal to get to know each other?"

Gu Heng turned around and pointed at himself, "Are you talking to me?"

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded.

Glancing over, Gu Heng noticed that several people had already gathered around the man, probably having agreed to join him for the meal...

Most of the people here didn’t know each other previously, but Gu Heng wasn’t surprised at all about meeting and dining together for the first time...

The non-full-time EMBA program offered limited learning, but why then did so many successful people donate large sums and supercars to Peking University?

There are basically two factors...

One is gold plating.

This was Gu Heng’s plan.

As for the other factor, it was the social aspect...

Expanding connections, managing resources.

For these people, who were at least company executives or even business owners, gold plating wasn’t as important as the social aspect...

Yet, Gu Heng shook his head lightly. He was completely uninterested in such socializing. Meeting Lu Yuan and Fu Songyang was purely coincidental, and he had never put any effort into building these connections.

Since Gu Heng didn’t curry favor with tycoons like Fu Songyang and Lu Yuan, he wasn’t about to expend energy on these mere "classmates." He politely responded, "I have some things to take care of at noon, so I probably can’t join you for lunch. Maybe another time."

The middle-aged man didn’t mind Gu Heng’s refusal, nodding, "That’s fine, let’s get together some other time."

He was just making an invitation, and since the other party was unwilling to participate, he couldn’t force him. Although displeased by Gu Heng’s attitude, he didn’t take it to heart. Anyone who could afford to study here wasn’t ordinary.

Even if they couldn’t become friends, it was unwise to make enemies.

Gu Heng had no idea that the middle-aged man had thought this much in just a brief moment.

He didn’t dawdle and walked straight out of the classroom door, not even leaving a contact number...

...

Driving the Koenigsegg Gemera slowly through the campus of Peking University...

Peking University has a clear rule that students are not allowed to drive within the school, and because of this, Gu Heng saw only a few cars along the way...
