Comparing himself this way, Jiang Cheng felt that he was indeed not rich enough.
Although, in the past six months, relying on the System, his net worth had already reached tens of billions.
But compared to those top-tier tycoons, the gap was still significant.
However, Jiang Cheng's situation was completely different from that of Richest Man Wang.
Every project currently involved by Xingchen Investment is a high-quality project with huge potential, guaranteed to double in growth in the future.
But if the Company doesn't sell off its real estate now, it will definitely be dragged down and die in the future.
To put it crudely, the money is stuck in their hands, with no chance for capital return.
Currently, all the projects Jiang Cheng has invested in are crucial, and none can be easily abandoned and liquidated to raise funds.
So, when encountering an emergency situation like this where cash is urgently needed.
Besides reaching out to his Great-Grandfather and Second Great-Grandfather for help, there is another option, which is to sell the nearly ten billion in overseas real estate he acquired previously.
After all, the domestic Xingchen Building definitely cannot be sold.
He was even more reluctant to sell the King of Fengtai's land in Kyoto, and the TikTok shares absolutely could not be dumped during this critical period.
Only now did Jiang Cheng deeply understand why some tycoons with hundreds of billions in assets seemed wealthy on the surface.
But in reality, they lacked disposable liquid funds.
This was because they had invested large amounts of capital into various investment projects.
Unless they encountered someone like Richest Man Wang who wanted to transition, no one would easily sell off their assets.
After all, if the investment succeeds, the annual dividend profits are enough to let one coast to victory.
Jiang Cheng shook his head helplessly, sighing inwardly.
In the end, the reason this situation arose was simply because there were too many opportunities he could seize right now.
After sighing, Jiang Cheng returned to the bedroom and lay down immediately.
He muttered, "Before working hard, I should just lie flat first..."
In the past two days, not only was Reba exhausted, but he himself was also tired, as he was the one exerting effort most of the time... Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the rolls-royce quickly arrived at the entrance of the alleyway leading to the Large Courtyard Compound in the North Second Ring Road.
After getting out of the car, Jiang Cheng walked straight into the alleyway and began strolling around.
Just as Wang Sheng had said, although this place was located within the Second Ring Road, just like his own Courtyard House, the surrounding environment was vastly different.
Especially when Jiang Cheng saw the rental advertisements posted in the alley, he couldn't help but gasp.
Just as he was wandering in the alley, Huang Yuqi walked out of the alleyway.
Today, she was still dressed very simply: a black and white coat paired with a matching scarf, and a pair of black snow boots beneath her "Bare Leg Artifact" tights.
Although she wasn't wearing any designer brands, it made her appear exceptionally serene and clean.
Seeing Huang Yuqi walking toward him with a smile, Jiang Cheng said, "The rent here is ridiculously high! Look at this 10 square meter room—it costs 5,900 yuan, and it doesn't even have a toilet!!"
Huang Yuqi covered her mouth and laughed heartily after hearing this.
"You're surprised by this? This is Kyoto. Our whole area is like this, and plenty of people rent them. Don't underestimate them; they're highly sought after, often housing a family of three."
"The salaries in Kyoto should be similar to those in the Magic City, right?"
Huang Yuqi nodded slightly and replied, "The salary standards for the working class are similar. Don't let the city's surface prosperity fool you; most people start with a monthly salary of just over five thousand. It's actually not easy to find a job paying more than ten thousand yuan a month..."
As they spoke, the two of them got into the rolls-royce.
"Where are we going?"
As soon as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Huang Yuqi replied with a hint of shyness.
"Actually, I thought about it a lot last night, but I couldn't decide. Although I'm a native of Kyoto, I never really went anywhere to play when I was little, except when the school organized spring or Autumn Outings. Otherwise, I was always at home. But I did make a guide, take a look."
Jiang Cheng took the phone Huang Yuqi handed him and began browsing carefully.
He saw that her phone contained a large number of recommended attractions and entertainment venues in Kyoto.
After scanning the options, Jiang Cheng chose the amusement park without hesitation.
The reason for this choice was primarily based on what Huang Yuqi had just said.
Since she didn't have the chance to play when she was young, going to an amusement park was undoubtedly the most suitable option.
Because this choice could not only make up for childhood regrets, but more importantly, an amusement park is an excellent place to deepen their relationship.
After all, when riding a roller coaster, if she gets scared, she might grab your hand.
Furthermore, when riding the Ferris wheel, some timid girls might even seek a hug from you.
For a pure woman like Huang Yuqi, Jiang Cheng did not want to use money to bridge the distance between them.
When Jiang Cheng suggested going to Happy Valley, Huang Yuqi was slightly surprised but did not refuse.
"Sounds great! I've never been on a roller coaster before. I heard it's especially fun." Huang Yuqi's eyes revealed a hint of anticipation and excitement.
Jiang Cheng had ridden these things a few times when he was a child.
However, he only rode children's roller coasters.
The last time he went to the amusement park with An Xin and Annie, he mostly stayed in the children's area playing with Annie.
He and An Xin didn't get a chance to try any other rides.
Honestly, Jiang Cheng still hadn't ridden an adult roller coaster yet.
After they decided, Wang Sheng set the navigation to Happy Valley.
The car sped along the road, arriving at the destination in the early evening.
By then, it was already past five o'clock.
Although dusk was approaching, Happy Valley was still bustling with crowds at this hour.
After buying several tickets at the main entrance, Jiang Cheng led Huang Yuqi into the park.
In the evening, the amusement park was bathed in the warm afterglow of the setting sun, and the entire atmosphere was filled with warmth and beauty.
Perhaps because night was about to fall, couples were everywhere they looked.
Some had their arms around each other's shoulders, others were hugging, and it was uncommon to see people walking separately like Jiang Cheng and Huang Yuqi.
However, it was precisely their slightly unfamiliar demeanor that made them particularly conspicuous.
Especially when a group of young girls walking together passed by Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng's handsome face immediately made a few of the girls' hearts flutter.
"Wow, that Handsome Guy is so dashing, and his legs are so long!"
"Is he single? Look, they aren't holding hands, so they definitely aren't a couple."
"But he brought her to the amusement park! Maybe they like each other."
"Maybe they're siblings?"
The young girls' speculations rose and fell.
The girls giggled, pushing and shoving each other, all claiming they were going to add Jiang Cheng on WeChat.
However, after following them for a short distance, they all simultaneously and voluntarily gave up the idea.
The reason was simple: Jiang Cheng's thoughtfulness toward Huang Yuqi was too obvious.
For instance, when it was crowded, he would instinctively put his arm around Huang Yuqi, sheltering her by his side to prevent her from being bumped.
And when there were fewer people around, he would casually let go of her hand.
This kind of behavior could be explained as the care and protection between siblings.
But Huang Yuqi's noticeably red ears clearly indicated that their relationship was definitely not as simple as just siblings.
