Super Island Tycoon

On the contrary, the Space Station is what he is most concerned about right now; it must be completed successfully over there.

After explaining the Space Station matters to Xiao Peng, Jiang Cheng hung up the phone and began to focus on the documents in front of him.

After signing a few more documents, Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered something and looked up to say to Zhang Manlin, ”Oh right, I almost forgot, you need to recruit a batch of traders; I’m going to need them soon.

Of course, as he said this, his pen didn’t stop moving.

Despite the conversation, Jiang Cheng wouldn’t delay his signing duties; staying in the office an extra second was torture for him, and he couldn’t wait to finish everything.

The Cosmic Umbrella Group hasn’t ventured into the financial sector, and Jiang Cheng has always had no interest in finance.

So currently, there are no traders in the group, and they need to find some from outside.

Zhang Manlin displayed a puzzled expression upon hearing this; she didn’t know what Jiang Cheng needed traders for.

She was confused about what Jiang Cheng was planning, which required using a profession like traders.

Jiang Cheng has never regarded those involved in finance highly, looking down on those who toy with money.

In Jiang Cheng’s words, those in finance are just scamming others’ money and using it to make money for themselves.

And these people could trigger a financial crisis at any moment, harming entrepreneurs like those in the real economy.

Although these words seem a bit extreme, they are indeed quite truthful.

To put it bluntly, the financial industry is like leeches sucking on the real economy; they create no wealth at all, merely redistributing it.

The ones who truly increase humanity’s overall wealth are people like Jiang Cheng, who engage in real businesses and drive human progress.

And Jiang Cheng indeed has the qualifications to look down on financial people because the value he has created far surpasses what those in finance can ever achieve.

In Jiang Cheng’s view, although finance is necessary, the value created by such people is not significant.

They simply transfer some people’s wealth elsewhere while taking some benefits for themselves in the process.

Standing in Jiang Cheng’s current position, he certainly has the right to make such judgments.

All of Jiang Cheng’s wealth is created by himself, so he can disdain those who engage in finance.

However, since Jiang Cheng holds such a view of the financial industry, why is he now seeking a batch of traders?

Traders are responsible for managing financial operations; stocks, futures, and funds are all practically operated by them.

This profession is exclusively a part of the financial industry and is not needed elsewhere.

Zhang Manlin knows very well Jiang Cheng’s attitude towards the financial industry, which is why she can’t understand his purpose.

Could it be that their boss has finally dropped his biases and plans to delve into the financial sector?

Zhang Manlin was speculating about Jiang Cheng’s thoughts, with numerous ideas flashing through her mind.

If Jiang Cheng indeed became interested in finance, she, as the CEO of Cosmic Umbrella Group, would definitely raise both hands in support.

The financial sector is extremely lucrative, managing vast sums of money at a moment’s notice.

Basically, every large group company needs to enter the financial industry at some point in their development, or they can’t expand their scale.

Cosmic Umbrella Group is rather unique in this aspect, as they’ve never ventured into the financial industry due to the preferences of their boss.

Additionally, Cosmic Umbrella Group doesn’t have any listed companies, and they conduct delistings even after acquisitions.

This behavior of keeping a respectful distance from the financial sector is indeed unique among large groups, unlike any other.

After a group company reaches a certain level of growth, they need the support of the financial industry to continue expanding.

These companies need financial support to expand their scale, at least through listing to raise development funds.

This is a necessary development path for a company, with virtually no exceptions.

However, the appearance of Cosmic Umbrella Group has broken this rule, making it exceptionally unique.

In fact, the group under Jiang Cheng has reached its current state without listing, thanks entirely to their highly lucrative products.

The products Jiang Cheng focuses on have astounding profit margins and are in monopolistic industries.

Aside from initially securing bank loans, he hasn’t raised funds from the outside world.

Furthermore, the bank loans were repaid early, and they never raised external funds afterward.

Because Jiang Cheng hasn’t needed outside funds later on, the company’s income far exceeded development needs.

Now, there’s excess cash in the company, eliminating any need for financial industry support for further development.

Since Jiang Cheng’s products continuously generate cash flows, what’s the need for financiers?

The Cosmic Umbrella Group has grown to its current state without relying on the financial sector due to its strong independent money generation ability.

Such a situation is extremely special and unlikely to occur again.

Unless another genius like Jiang Cheng appears, nobody can replicate Cosmic Umbrella Group’s path.

Although Cosmic Umbrella Group doesn’t need to enter the financial sector now, Zhang Manlin still yearns to step into this field.

With the funds Cosmic Umbrella Group currently possesses, if they entered the financial sector, they could cause huge waves and make unknown fortunes.

Zhang Manlin never misses opportunities to boost company performance.

Therefore, Zhang Manlin hopes Jiang Cheng would change his view and permit her to step into the financial sector.

Jiang Cheng saw Zhang Manlin’s wild imagination and knew what she had in mind.

Quickly, Jiang Cheng’s blunt words shattered his CEO’s beautiful fantasy.

Jiang Cheng paused his work, looked at Zhang Manlin, and said, ”Just because I asked you to find a batch of traders doesn’t mean we’re entering the financial field.”

”This time, I merely saw a chance to make some money and plan to take advantage of it; after this, we should still avoid this industry.”

”My view on the financial sector hasn’t changed; these people still lack real value.”

”Actually, this is just an incidental goal of making some quick money; my real intention is to toy with those in finance.”

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s response, not only did Zhang Manlin’s confusion not get resolved, but she even started to feel a bit bewildered.

What does it mean to want to toy with those in finance and incidentally make some money?

Could Jiang Cheng think the financial industry is that simple, with him able to control it so easily?
