Chapter 464 Kind Warnings Wasted on Those who Deserved to Die

Pei Qian felt like he had run into a pack of wild dogs on the streets. He had narrowly escaped their lethal fangs by scaring them into retreating, and then some prankster decided to throw a bone at him.

Obviously, Boss Li was the prankster. As the saying went, one had to see it to believe it. Many investors had thought about backing out when they saw how desolate and deserted the place was. Yet, Boss Li’s words turned them around!

A few investors exchanged looks as if infected by Boss Li’s determined tone. For some reason, they thought that he was making sense.

Before this, everyone had agreed to invest money into this project. That was one way of putting it. It’s just that, to businessmen only concerned about profit, oral promises were not promises until they were written on paper.

However, what really bought them over had been Boss Li’s last few sentences.

Boss Pei was testing how determined they were!

Just think about ‘Top Student, Come Quick’! Everyone recalled that the same thing had happened with ‘Top Student, Come Quick’ back then. Boss Pei kept persuading them to back off, causing many investors to be shaken.

Yet, what happened in the end? They almost dropped dead from the poison!

All the investors present had remained in the ‘Top Student, Come Quick’ project. In fact, some of them had even invested more funds into it. In the end, they all reaped huge profits.

At a time like that, investors were having a hard time! Ordinary investments did not lead to such high payouts, and risky investments could cause them to lose everything by fraud.

Yet, investing in Boss Pei’s project had given all of them a taste of the good life!

Thus, everyone became doubtful because of Boss Pei’s attempt at dissuading them and the subtle smile on his face. Boss Pei seemed to be playing hard to get!

Obviously, he wanted to filter out the best of this group of investors as well. Only those who absolutely trusted him and insisted on investing in him would share his profits!

The easily swayed investors giving up halfway would forever be excluded.

Just look at the investors who had not chosen to invest in ‘Top Student, Come Quick’; none of them were here, right?

It was not that they had not wanted to come. In fact, they could hardly wait to invest everything they had into Boss Pei’s projects now. However, that didn’t mean anything. They couldn’t do so anymore!

Everyone had only been roped into Boss Pei’s projects thanks to their connection with Boss Li. If they backed out now and bailed on Boss Li, would Boss Li continue to rope them in for profitable projects in the future?

Many people were queuing to do business with Boss Pei. Would they miss one or two investors?

Thus, after hearing Boss Li’s words, many of them understood.

Before this, all of them had earned a considerable sum from Boss Pei’s project. Even if they incurred losses this time, they would have hopes of making a comeback as long as they kept following Boss Pei.

On the other hand, if they chose not to invest, they would never get to do business with Boss Pei again whether this project succeeded or not!

Wasn’t the choice clear?

Soon, an investor—who had clearly shown his desire to back out earlier-somberly said, “Boss Li, what are you talking about? Are we the type to leave you in the lurch?” Another investor chimed in. “That’s right! Boss Li, you’re underestimating us. We already said we would invest in the project together. Whoever dares to eat their words would never get to do business with us again!”

The rest of the investors began to nod and mumble in approval. “Yeah, who isn’t happy with this project? It’s obviously very promising! Even if all of you disperse, I’ll invest in it for sure!

“Boss Pei, rest assured. We don’t have any intention of dispersing! To prove my determination, I’ll invest another one million

yuan!”

Everyone began to act like they were on the same page. Even the investors, who thought little of this project, tried hard to control their expressions and emotions-just to act confident and nonchalant.

Pei Qian, “…”

What’s going on?! I was so close to success. Yet, a single speech from Boss Li made a mess of everything!

Pei Qian refused to give up. He turned to the weakest-looking investor. “Brother, don’t listen to them! They’re trying to cheat you!”

The investor was visibly shocked. At once, he looked self-righteous and indignant. “Don’t worry, Boss Pei! I won’t be affected by them! I’m genuinely confident in your project!”

Pei Qian turned to another weak-looking investor. However, before he could say anything, the man soberly said, “Boss Pei, my investment has nothing to do with them either. I’m purely making a negligible contribution to the development of Jingzhou’s economy!”

To express their loyalty, the rest of the investors also said things like ‘we just want to reciprocate the goodwill’, ‘it doesn’t matter if we incur losses’, and ‘we trust Boss Pei’.

It seemed better when Pei Qian had kept quiet. Each time he asked a question, it looked more like he was testing them.

Everyone patted their chests in confidence. The only thing lacking was their solemn oaths.

Pei Qian was completely speechless by now.

Finished!

Anything he said now would be a waste of effort. It was almost as if everyone could understand what Boss Pei was saying, but nobody could understand his true intentions.

Pei Qian could not help but heave a long sigh. My kind warnings are wasted on those who deserved to die!
