Chapter 975: Chapter 975: Another Unexpected Visitor (Part 3)
Mrs. Lu was so scared that she grabbed onto Ou Chunhua’s clothes and shouted inside the car, "Your husband is here? Mrs. Ou, what’s going on? Is my husband here too?"
Ou Chunhua’s eyes seemed frozen.
She hadn’t heard any news that Ou Shihua was coming. Could it be that last night, her son suddenly called to inform her of this?
Now what to do? What should she do?
Whether she goes in or not? She definitely has to go in. The large sum of money she’s carrying earns interest every minute.
Ou Chunhua’s palms were sweaty, wondering whether Gu Nuan knew about this beforehand.
Gu Nuan and her party walked into the hall of the reception.
The hall was lavishly decorated, with a large, unique crystal chandelier as the centerpiece, and several smaller crystal lights making the environment resemble a sea of stars.
This slightly mysterious atmosphere made the people walking around seem ambiguous, a bit blurry yet somewhat visible, thus making it even more suitable for socializing and business discussions.
Chairman Zhan and Gu Nuan walked to a corner, and after giving some instructions to his son, Ou Shihua followed.
Xiao Shuzhu noticed her daughter seemed to be trailing Ou Yanan and frowned slightly; she didn’t want her daughter to become another Kang Yueting, so she let go of Gu Nuan’s hand and walked over.
Zhong Qiaohui, as Gu Nuan’s business partner, was sure to follow closely.
Ever since entering the reception, Wei Changqing had found a spot on his own to observe.
Chairman Zhan wrote a few words in the palm of Gu Nuan’s hand.
Gu Nuan glanced at them and squinted slightly.
Chairman Zhan said, "In fact, the whole market is not doing well now, and many people don’t know what to invest in. Those in insurance have to be involved in this sector. If you don’t invest and take risks, you won’t make money from insurance."
Gu Nuan understood this point. In insurance, besides the bet on policyholders’ risks, the invested capital needs to generate profit; otherwise, there’s no talk of making money, and it might face bankruptcy at any moment.
Now the entire financial market sees commodities declining, and trading in currency is not as easy as before. After all, we’ve experienced several financial crises, and the strategies used by everyone are largely understood; the attacks and defenses are mutually transparent.
Gambling with the central bank is not easy nowadays. Moreover, insurance funds cannot be risked because they can’t afford to lose, and laws clearly set limits.
This time, Chairman Zhan came here to find some more stable investment channels. Speaking of investing in enterprises, many are experiencing overcapacity and are in the midst of capacity reduction, making it impossible to make money. The new driving force is being sought worldwide, but hasn’t been found yet.
If we talk about the quickest way to retrieve funds, making money fast still remains the best method. Therefore, Gu Nuan couldn’t help but speculate that Anneng Insurance might be approaching year-end, needing some profit reports for shareholders or superiors, thus they had to take this risky step to earn some money to cover some investment losses.
Guests like Chairman Zhan attending this reception aren’t likely to be few, and Ou Shihua is one of them.
After all, the overall economic environment isn’t favorable.
So, don’t be fooled by the guests dressed to the nines, arriving in luxury cars with smiles; how much of that money really belongs in their pockets, no one knows. No one knows how many borrowed money to keep up with appearances either.
