An Xin looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "Isn't the best time for property speculation already over?"
Jiang Cheng shrugged indifferently: "As long as the capital is sufficient, I think overseas is still viable."
Seeing the confidence and composure in Jiang Cheng's expression, Cheng Gui continued with a slightly envious tone, "I've heard that the Chinese people on Hong Kong Island really like investing in property in Great Britain."
"However, investing in overseas property also carries certain risks," An Xin reminded him. "You need to conduct thorough market research and risk assessment to avoid unnecessary losses." She looked at Jiang Cheng with a hint of concern and worry in her eyes.
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Investment always involves both risk and reward. In my view, the overseas market offers more opportunities and lower risks."
Jiang Cheng did not reveal anything further.
Anyway, he only knew that during the period of the illness, property prices in Great Britain rose instead of falling.
However, after the illness passed, property prices everywhere began to plummet, so all he had to do was sell everything at the peak.
If he remembered correctly, Li Jiachang should also be buying up large quantities of property in Britain next year to buy at the bottom.
Jiang Cheng recalled that the most classic example was the landmark office building in the City of London, Great Britain, which served as the London headquarters for UBS.
That was a towering structure, one of the iconic buildings of the City of London, and a major landmark in the global financial community.
This wave of operations in Great Britain allowed him to make a steady profit... He felt he could first emulate Li Jiachang and secretly copy his strategy.
Although Jiang Cheng couldn't remember exactly how much Li Jiachang spent to buy the building.
But that investment still earned him a massive fortune.
Starting from 2015, he had successively acquired 30% of the natural gas, 5% of the tap water, and 25% of the electricity supply there in Great Britain.
The Li Family publicly claimed to only possess assets worth hundreds of billions, but everyone knew well that this was just what he displayed openly... One must know that true tycoons prefer to act low-key, and their assets are far more complex than they appear on the surface.
According to external statistics, The Li Family's assets have long surpassed the trillion mark, making him the true invisible richest man.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng in his previous life always felt that Li Jiachang's every investment was extremely precise; his vision and decision-making were practically on par with Buffett's.
If one were to say who was most like Buffett domestically, he felt it was none other than Li Jiachang.
Li Jiachang's strategy of buying at the bottom always allowed him to snap up bargains when the market was sluggish; this kind of foresight is something ordinary people cannot match.
Although The Li Family was somewhat ruthless, no one could remain completely clean on the path of capital accumulation.
As the saying goes, making money is simply taking money out of other people's pockets and putting it into your own.
You can't make big money without ignoring your conscience.
It looks like I need to find time to visit Great Britain again.
Unlike An Xin's worries, Chen Xueer agreed, saying, "London is quite worth investing in, especially their commercial buildings, and not just property—some other shares can also be increased."
Seeing Jiang Cheng and Chen Xueer chatting enthusiastically, An Xin, who was nearby, curiously asked, "Which university did Miss Chen attend?"
Chen Xueer smiled, looked at An Xin, and replied, "I attended Harvard Business School in Pretty Country."
Seeing Chen Xueer's high level of education, An Xin couldn't help but look at her with increased respect.
When An Xin first met Chen Xueer, she focused more on her overly delicate face.
This kind of woman easily makes people think of the word 'vessel'.
She hadn't expected Chen Xueer to be so capable.
She gave a thumbs-up and praised, "Wow, that school! It's top-tier among business schools in Pretty Country."
Praise was praise, but finding a woman with such strong capabilities and beauty next to Jiang Cheng still made An Xin feel a bit sour.
After all, highly educated and capable women like her are very sought after in the market.
Moreover, she noticed that Jiang Cheng's gaze, when resting on Chen Xueer, was full of appreciation and tenderness.
Listening to the conversation between Chen Xueer and Jiang Cheng, Cheng Gui's admiration for Jiang Cheng deepened further.
Jiang Cheng's financial acumen and investment ability at his age not only surpassed many of his peers but were also comparable to those of their generation.
Cheng Gui couldn't help but sigh that none of the Second-generation rich nowadays were simple-minded—except for his own son, of course.
"Xiao Xin, are you also interested in Great Britain?" Cheng Gui suddenly threw the topic to An Xin.
An Xin smiled upon hearing this: "Uncle Cheng also knows that I'm currently not interested in business matters. Aside from jewelry investments, I'm not interested in getting involved in anything else for now. Are you interested?"
Cheng Gui shook his head: "I'm already swamped here. How could I have the energy to deal with overseas matters? Plus, I don't understand that market, and I don't have a capable assistant like Jiang Cheng by my side. How dare I easily enter?"
After speaking, Cheng Gui chuckled and continued addressing An Xin, "Is there any progress on the matter I discussed with your father?"
An Xin was very intelligent and naturally understood Cheng Gui's hidden meaning.
She didn't answer directly, but instead turned to Jiang Cheng and asked, "Why are you suddenly interested in that plot of land in the Eastern District? Didn't you see how Uncle Cheng is overwhelmed? Many people are eyeing this land, and starting construction won't be easy."
Before Jiang Cheng could speak, Cheng Gui cut in first: "Did you hear about Qin Cheng's incident two days ago?"
An Xin nodded: "I heard a little from my father when I returned, but I don't know much about it."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Gui said with a smile, "It was Jiangtai Building Materials' doing."
"Jiangtai Building Materials?"
An Xin silently repeated the name once, then looked towards Jiang Cheng.
Surname Jiang?
With this hint from Cheng Gui, An Xin immediately guessed why Cheng Gui would seek cooperation with Jiang Cheng.
Seeing An Xin look at Jiang Cheng with a complex expression, Cheng Gui continued, "Oh right, I haven't mentioned this matter to your father yet. I've been too busy these past few days. I'll make time to come over to your house for tea soon."
Seeing everyone chatting enthusiastically and eating with relish.
Annie, however, wore a distressed look.
Mainly because every time she finished eating, Jiang Cheng immediately served her more food.
Seeing Jiang Cheng pick up his chopsticks again, Annie immediately covered her bowl and said to Jiang Cheng, "Brother Jiang Cheng, I can't eat anymore. Please come play outside with me for a while. I'm so bored. I saw some small animals outside just now. Let's go look at them."
Jiang Cheng looked at Annie's small face, which was full of grievance.
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction internally.
When he was a child, he was often forced by his parents to eat things he didn't like. That feeling truly wasn't pleasant.
"Alright, I'll take you out for a stroll."
Seeing this, An Xin immediately warned Annie: "Annie, be obedient, and don't cause Brother Jiang Cheng any trouble."
"I know, Mom." Annie nodded, then impatiently pulled Jiang Cheng's hand and walked outside.
The Farmhouse Restaurant had some small animals kept on the lawn, including not only little rabbits but also a currently popular 'Grass-Mud Horse,' which is an Alpaca.
As soon as Annie saw these small animals, she excitedly ran over, squatted down, and carefully stroked the little rabbit's ears.
"Brother Jiang Cheng, look, this little rabbit is so cute!"
Jiang Cheng walked over, looked at the little rabbit, and noticed its eyes were red, like two rubies.
