Chapter 1692: The Decision

"Xu Ke, I can solemnly tell you here that I have thought this matter through thoroughly, and you don’t need to worry about me anymore. If anything happens, I will take full responsibility myself and won’t drag you into it."

Hearing Xiao Keyi say these words, Xu Ke instantly became anxious.

"What kind of person do you think I am? How could I disregard you? Isn’t it just starting a company? Then let’s start one. Don’t say just one; even if you want to start ten companies, I’ll support you."

With Xu Ke’s current assets, not to mention ten companies, he could easily manage to start 100 companies.

However, he is currently fully invested in the development and operations of the Group, with no plans in that direction.

But now that his girlfriend actually has such thoughts, he, of course, has to support her wholeheartedly.

Besides, he has confirmed that Xiao Keyi is not simply acting on a whim, but has already thought it through. Since his girlfriend already has a plan, he certainly needs to show some support.

Xu Ke just happens to have an idle office building; the company that leased it moved out recently due to contract reasons.

Now that office building has been sitting vacant, and it can serve as the site for Xiao Keyi’s company.

Xiao Keyi actually just wanted Xu Ke to express his stance, as she was afraid that her actions might upset her boyfriend.

Now seeing Xu Ke agree, Xiao Keyi revealed a gentle smile.

"Since you’ve agreed, I’ll leave this matter to you. Mm. You handle the venue, and I’ll take care of the internal company matters."

Xu Ke didn’t expect Xiao Keyi to immediately want to handle the internal company affairs, considering that she is still a complete novice in this field.

He was worried that his girlfriend might suffer in this area or face setbacks.

In any case, Xu Ke always prioritized Xiao Keyi’s feelings in everything.

"Keyi, I happen to have a ready venue for the company. As for what your company will do, I think it would be better for us to discuss this. After all, you have no experience in this field, and I could offer you some suggestions."

In college, Xiao Keyi majored in financial management and is actually quite familiar with company finance.

Her initial plan is to have her company engage in financial investment since that is her area of expertise, and she hasn’t neglected her professional knowledge over the years.

Whenever she has free time, Xiao Keyi keeps learning continuously.

She always believes that learning is endless, and constant progress requires constant learning.

"I want the company to first focus on financial investment, as you know, that’s my major in college, and I think I can apply what I’ve learned. Besides, according to my research, the international market is doing quite well lately. I think it’s very reasonable to temporarily focus the company there. Moreover, the conditions are quite fitting now, and Xu Group doesn’t have business in this area."

"Financial investment!"

Xu Ke didn’t expect Xiao Keyi to aim so high right from the start.

Financial investment is different from other businesses; it requires a large amount of capital initially, with the potential for quick returns.

The so-called coexistence of risk and opportunity means this field is full of high rewards but also high risks.

What this entails for the company’s development depends on the investor’s vision.

Xu Ke has some understanding in this area, but it’s only superficial.

He isn’t clear about the current international situation, and he isn’t an expert in financial investment.

Starting such a company requires at least a couple of industry experts; otherwise, the company might lose money initially.

It’s not the losses he’s afraid of, but the risk of continuous losses.

Many companies fail at the first step due to such circumstances.

Xu Ke is, after all, the CEO of a listed group, and he has some experience in this regard.

So he knows that to successfully start a financial investment company, the initial step must be carefully managed.

Since Xiao Keyi wants to start a company, Xu Ke will certainly make sure everything is arranged properly.

"Keyi, I have some understanding of this financial investment stuff. To strengthen and grow the company, you can’t do it alone. Within the company, you need at least two or more experts. They are the pillars in the company, while you can mainly play a strategic role from the side."

Xiao Keyi suddenly realized that Xu Ke knows even more about this than she does, something she hadn’t considered before, and Xu Ke had already thought it all through.

To grow strong in this business, large-scale investments are necessary in the initial phase.

Moreover, in terms of staff configuration, experts from within the industry should be hired first.

Because such experts generally have many years of experience, their knowledge and wisdom pave a smoother path for the company’s development.

After all, these experts have gone through many things and pitfalls, ensuring the company can avoid repeating mistakes under their guidance.

Xiao Keyi now worries whether Xu Ke will support her in this business, considering it requires large capital flows.

Although they aren’t short on money, handling large capital flows is still quite challenging.

"I know all that, but initially the company will need a lot of money. I wonder if you could manage to handle the finances on your end?"

At the moment, Xiao Keyi doesn’t have much money. If she needs money, she would have to ask her father to send it over.

But she doesn’t want her father to know about this, lest she gets another lecture.

Even though Xiao Keyi knows her father can’t stop her anymore, she does not want to hear his opposing voice again.

Having heard it since childhood, Xiao Keyi carries some emotional scars because of it.

If not for her strong resilience, she might very well have withdrawn into herself by now.

Xu Ke understands that a new company will certainly need a lot of capital at the start, especially a financial investment company like this.

Creating such a company means dealing with astronomical registration costs, not to mention everyday operations.

However, for Xu Ke, these issues are almost like a drop in the ocean now.

He long ago lost track of how many zeros there are in his personal accounts; in fact, he doesn’t even bother to count anymore.

Every day, on the hour, there is a continuous inflow of funds reaching him.

Since taking over Xu Group, Xu Ke has invested in many projects.

Although some projects result in partners, most of them yield profits.

Initially, Xu Ke only invested a symbolic ten million, and now that ten million has turned into two hundred million.
