Chapter 2584 Brothers
"You, I told you to study hard and gain experience first, but you thought you were all that great. Now you've fallen for it."
Zhan Yue tapped his younger brother a few times and said, "Do you think business is so easy these days? Starting a business is the fastest way to fail. With our family's wealth, you can live a life of leisure without doing anything."
"But if you start your own business, you'll lose more money than you would spend if you just lay around doing nothing for the rest of your life."
This is why many first-generation rich people don't allow their second-generation children to start their own businesses. They would rather support them and let them go out and have fun than let them start their own businesses, which can result in losses of tens or hundreds of millions of yuan.
Especially now that business is tough and so many companies are struggling, entering the market at this time is like courting disaster.
Zhan Yan said with a bitter face, "Third Brother, I haven't collapsed. I'm just having some cash flow problems right now. The main problem is that I haven't received the payment yet. Once I receive the payment, I can manage to get through this."
"I'm adjusting now. I believe I can get through this period and recover."
“I was doing very well before, but this time I made a mistake. One of my investments failed, I lost money, and the slow return on investment made me have cash flow problems.”
Zhan Yue asked him, "How much money do you want to borrow?"
Zhan Yan held up one finger to his brother and said, "This much is enough for me to manage for three months."
"One hundred million?"
In his brother's eyes, Lao Jiu's company was still a small company; 100 million yuan was enough for him to make ends meet for three months.
Zhan Yan nodded, "One hundred million is enough. Third Brother, can you lend it to me? If you don't have that much, you can lend me fifty million first, so I can pay my salary first."
After a moment of silence, Zhan Yue said, "Tell me about your company's operations. I'll see if your company has any projects worth investing in, and then I'll transfer 100 million yuan to your company's account under the guise of cooperation."
“I won’t take a share of the profits from that project. Whether it’s profitable or not, it’s your problem. You can just give me back 100 million when you make money in the future.”
"Since we're brothers, I won't charge you interest."
Zhan Yan nodded repeatedly: "Brother, I'll go back and bring you all the project plans that are currently underway at the company. You can just pick one to invest in and send me the money."
"Once I've recovered and made some money, I'll pay you back immediately. I can even pay you interest. Even brothers should keep clear accounts."
“If it’s an investment, then there’s no need to calculate interest. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you should tell your brothers so that we can help you and come up with some ideas to solve the problem. Don’t do things on your own and only come to us when the problem gets really big. By then, you’ll have lost so much money that you’ll have a hole in your pants.”
"Do you really think that the business world is so easy to navigate? There is always the risk of sinking. The reason why our Zhan Group has been able to stand firm is not only because our family is wealthy, but also because my brothers have put in countless efforts to manage it."
That's how it is; sometimes, the Zhan Group even has projects that lose money.
However, the Zhan Group has a strong foundation, so a small loss won't damage its vitality.
Zhan Yan said, "I dare not say it because I'm afraid my brothers will scold me. You all advised me, saying that I'm young and inexperienced, and that I'm easily taken advantage of and schemed against. But I couldn't listen. I was only focused on making achievements and making everyone look at me with new eyes."
"I, Zhan Jiu Shao, can also make a name for myself through my own efforts. I am no less than my brothers and will not let them down."
After speaking, Zhan Yan's voice became much softer.
Because he has failed so far.
They all had to borrow money from their older brother to make ends meet.
Zhan Yue looked at his younger brother for a long time, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Ninth Brother, I understand that you are eager to prove yourself. I have had the same thoughts before."
He sighed, "What can we do when all the older brothers up there are just too outstanding?"
Moreover, the older brothers entered society earlier than them, and when the older brothers started their businesses, the market wasn't as difficult as it is now.
"That's right. My brothers are so outstanding. I feel a lot of pressure. People always think I'm the youngest in the family. Everyone dotes on me, loves me, and spoils me. Even if I don't do anything, I still have more money than I can spend."
"No one knows how much pressure I'm under. Every time I do something, people easily compare me to my brothers. It was like that when I was in school. The teachers who taught me often taught my brothers as well."
“If my grades are a little bad, people will bring it up and say that my brother is so outstanding and I am so stupid, which makes me study hard. Luckily, I have some talent in studying and my grades have always been very good.”
“I have always followed in my brothers’ footsteps and attended the same schools they attended, so that no one would say I am inferior to my brothers or that I have not disgraced the Zhan family.”
Zhan Yue laughed and said, "I understand, I understand. Perhaps, apart from our eldest brother, all of us have had the same feelings as you."
The eldest son has no one to compare himself to; he can only become a role model for his younger brothers.
If the eldest brother is exceptionally outstanding, the younger brothers will have to try and catch up, but they might not even be able to.
“My company is having financial difficulties right now, and I don’t dare let anyone know, for fear that people will laugh at me, think that I am not as good as my brothers, and that I will embarrass the Zhan family again.”
"Third brother, please keep this a secret for me, don't tell anyone."
"I am confident that I can turn things around in three months. In the future, I will be extra careful with my investments and will not act impulsively again."
Zhan Yue said, "You dare to do it but not admit it? Are you afraid your brothers will scold you? Are you afraid others will laugh at you?"
"Letting others laugh at you will teach you a lesson, so you won't dare to be so reckless again."
"...Alright, Third Brother, go ahead and say what you want. I'll prepare myself mentally. If my brothers scold me, I'll just pretend I didn't hear it. Anyway, with my sisters-in-law around, my brothers won't dare to scold me too much."
"Life is never all good. There will always be bad times. No one has a smooth life. My company is not going out of business. It's just that we are having some cash flow problems."
Zhan Yan quickly came to terms with it. Being scolded by his brothers was a good thing; he had been living too comfortably and needed his brothers to loosen his bones.
"Do you really think Third Brother is a gossip, always spreading rumors about your bad deeds?"
"Don't worry, Third Brother won't tell anyone. But if the other brothers find out, you can't blame me. They have connections everywhere and are much more powerful than me. They can't even hide my affairs from me, let alone protect you."
"That's right, I don't blame Third Brother. I'm extremely grateful that Third Brother lent me money to tide me over. How could I blame him? I've already experienced their extraordinary abilities."
"Third Brother, let's not talk about that anymore. Come, have some tea."
"I don't want tea, go make me a cup of coffee, and then you go back and do your best to turn the tide."
Zhan Yan readily agreed and immediately went to make coffee for his third brother.
