Wolin always harbored two extreme feelings towards investors—disgust, and admiration.

Trash investors are always short-sighted, caring only about immediate benefits, frequently interfering with internal company decisions, with outsiders leading insiders, imposing their ideas on others.

On the other hand, those quality investors are generous and farsighted, unconcerned with short-term losses, and very willing to delegate, letting professionals do what they do best.

The former Wolin finds most annoying, whereas the latter inspires reverence.

Wolin opened his computer email and browsed through the emails forwarded by his secretary.

Soon, he was shocked.

This time the investors were actually “Blue Leaf Capital”!

Blue Leaf Capital is a large capital institution located at the World Government Headquarters, with extensive reach and profound investment experience in fields such as technology, media, healthcare, and industrial technology, ranking 7th last year on the top 100 list of active investment institutions for unicorns.

They have helped numerous seed teams complete incubation and have propelled dozens of medium to large enterprises to go public; getting their attention is no trivial matter!

Of course, there are quite a few scam groups nowadays, including those posing as investors, so Wolin was not irrationally eager to contact them.

At this time, he found a proposal attached, stating it was developed for Gael Industries.

He opened it to read carefully.

This proposal was written succinctly yet was full of substantive content, precisely analyzing Gael Industries’ market positioning, current industry situation, and predicting future domain developments.

The more Wolin looked, the more surprised he was; the proposal’s value was astoundingly high…

Especially its predictions about the future domain!

Before this, he was fortunate to have dined with bosses from the Iron Blood Alliance, and the contents of the proposal aligned perfectly with the analysis from those bosses.

This was definitely not a scam!

People with such vision and competence could only be elite talents from major companies!

Wolin quickly called his secretary: “Schedule a meeting with the people from Blue Leaf Capital, see when they’re available, and if their availability conflicts with my schedule, push all conflicting appointments aside!”

After subsequent discussions, both parties agreed to meet in the afternoon.

Wolin remained excited all morning, and to prevent any urgency, he went to the restroom at noon, emptied his stomach, didn’t eat or drink water, and waited until three in the afternoon.

“Dong dong dong.” Finally, the long-awaited knock on the door came.

Wolin suppressed his nervousness and quickly went to open the door.

The secretary stepped aside, her voice sweet, saying, “This way, gentlemen.”

Two figures, one tall and one short, appeared in Wolin’s sight.

The shorter one had a delicate and handsome appearance, dressed in casual attire, with a stylishly slicked-back hair, walking at the front with hands behind his back, a calm gaze bearing a magnanimous demeanor.

Wolin couldn’t help but marvel; this dress clearly belonged to a big figure!

Do not think all big figures are clad in suit and tie.

Suits are for formal occasions.

While privately discussing business, especially when facing people of lower status, casual wear is the common attire for big figures.

For these people, strength is the best confidence; no need to rely on attire to enhance aura, wearing what feels comfortable is key.

The short figure in casual wear must be the person in charge from the investors.

Now looking at the tall one at the back, dressed in a black suit, the cut slightly loose, not perfectly fitted to the body, giving off a cheap feeling.

But judging from those sharp eyes, this must be a security guard, making the clothes loose for ease of movement… very logical!

Wolin proactively stepped forward to shake hands with the short one, showing respect and politeness: “Welcome, welcome, how should I address the two of you?”

KK, with a blank expression, said: “Just call me L; the one behind me is my junior, Qiluo.”

Su Mo, with a stern face, said hoarsely: “Master L is my big brother.”

Wolin thought: First calling each other junior, then big brother, then master, your relationships are chaotic enough—is this the way big figures conduct themselves?

“President L, Mr. Qi, please have a seat.” Wolin led both of them to the sofa, voluntarily sitting in the guest seat, offering the main seat to KK.

KK took the seat naturally and without formality.

Wolin began with casual talk to foster closeness: “President L looks really young!”

KK, leaning on the sofa, said casually: “My baby face always leads people to say I look like a kid. Boss Wolin, do you feel the same?

Wolin indeed felt that way, but feared being offensive, so he continued with flattery: “How could you look like a kid? Your youth is not childish but heroic, it’s that… um… young hero charisma!”

KK laughed heartily: “Hahaha, you really know how to talk.”

Wolin laughed along and opened the cherished cigar box, trying to please: “Gentlemen, do you smoke?”

KK, with a straight face, replied: “I’ve quit; my wife is due soon, and I can’t stand the smell of smoke.”

“Oh! Apologies, apologies…” Wolin hastily put the cigar box back in the drawer and closed it.

“Try something I brought.” KK beckoned to Su Mo with a finger.

Su Mo took out an exquisite small wooden box from his arms.

Under Wolin’s curious gaze, KK opened the small wooden box and took out…

Two lollipops.

KK unwrapped one and put it in his mouth, offering the other to Wolin, smilingly saying: “I usually like these; would you care for one?”

Wolin was stunned for a moment but quickly returned to his senses.

Big figures always have some unique preferences.

For instance, he once met a boss who liked drinking milk, but not cow’s or goat’s milk, insisting on fresh breast milk.

Lollipops, and so on, make sense, very reasonable!

“Thank you, thank you, if President L likes it, it must be good stuff, I’ll buy a box next time and keep it in the office.” Wolin took the lollipop and put it in his mouth.

KK handed over a business card: “Boss Wolin must be quite busy, shall we proceed directly to business?”

As Wolin took the business card, he found out this President L was actually the manager of the equity investment department at Blue Leaf Capital.

His heart raced excitedly: “Please go ahead, President L.”

KK said slowly: “You know, recent years the economy has been getting worse, with fewer quality companies available, I have over ten billion in investment funds in my hands, stuck, unable to be invested, isn’t that frustrating?”

Wolin rubbed his palms, smiling in agreement: “Indeed, it’s mainly because the World Government’s term is almost ending.”

“Hegemony Company, Iron Blood Alliance, Black Domain Group are fiercely fighting for the ‘Upper Court Council’ seats.

“The fighting above affects those below; many companies have fallen because of this.”

KK smiled meaningfully: “But Boss Wolin’s Gael Industries seems to be going smoothly.”

Wolin nodded humbly: “That’s the unique advantage of the military industry. The more fierce the fighting outside, the higher the demand for various weapons and equipment, driving the downstream fields of parts assembly and processing, raw materials, and Gael Industries can benefit from it.”

“Because of this, I’ve been very anxious lately; since such market conditions don’t occur annually, I wish to seize this opportunity to lead Gael Industries to make a leap forward, but our capacity just can’t be raised.”

KK raised an eyebrow: “Oh? Why is that?”

Wolin answered: “On one hand, our company’s welfare system is too good, leading employees to some sort of laziness… I’m working hard to correct this, planning to implement a new performance system to improve work efficiency.”

“On the other hand, our current operation model is to reinvest profits obtained from business into production, to expand production scale for greater profit… this model is somewhat primitive, with long return cycles, slow growth, continually suppressing our upward potential.”

Saying this, Wolin swallowed, his heart becoming tense, guiding the topic to the main point.

“Therefore, once the new performance system is implemented, if we can obtain sufficient investment to rapidly increase capacity in the short term and seize the opportunity… President L, believe me, Gael Industries will definitely surprise you!”
