Having resolved the main competition and secured a stable cash flow along with an expanding network of connections, Jiang Tao finally set his sights on investments beyond real estate, focusing on long-term preparations for unforeseen circumstances. He firmly held onto the old properties he had acquired at low prices in the city and the land in the southern district, allowing them to quietly appreciate amidst the increasingly heated urban development plans. At the same time, he began to take an interest in new concepts occasionally mentioned in newspapers, such as stocks and bonds. Although he was completely unfamiliar with the financial market, vague memories from his past life hinted that these could create astonishing wealth in the future. He cautiously began to explore these emerging investment channels through some newly acquainted, more agile-minded southern businessmen or local talents.
As Jiang Tao's business landscape steadily expanded and his personal wealth accumulated at an astonishing rate, his family life also welcomed new joys. Following the birth of his son, Jiang Xiaodong, Lin Wei became pregnant again and gave birth a few months later to a beautiful daughter named Jiang Xiaoya. With both a son and a daughter, completing a perfect family unit, Jiang Tao felt that his life had truly reached fulfillment.
With two children, the "sweet burden" of family grew heavier. Jiang Tao cherished the time spent with his family even more, striving to minimize unnecessary social engagements and dedicating more time to accompany his wife and educate their children. Watching Xiaodong grow day by day from a mischievous little boy into a thoughtful, curious young lad who began to take an interest in his father's jars and tools; seeing Xiaoya transform from a swaddled infant into a delicate little princess taking her first steps filled Jiang Tao's heart with happiness and satisfaction as a husband and father.
One evening, after finishing up at work, Jiang Tao returned home. Lin Wei was in the yard with Xiaoya, watching Xiaodong wobble on a small bicycle equipped with training wheels. The setting sun cast a warm glow over the yard, and the children's laughter rang out sweetly. Lin Wei turned to him with a gentle smile in her eyes.
Jiang Tao walked over and gently embraced Lin Wei from behind, taking in the warm scene before him. All the struggles and risks of these past years melted away into something worthwhile at that moment.
However, just as he was enjoying this familial warmth and thought life would continue smoothly and happily, a new opportunity—tempting yet fraught with unknown challenges—quietly presented itself before him.
Boss Chen, the parts wholesaler with whom he had always cooperated pleasantly in Guangdong, called him long-distance.
"Brother Jiang! I have something to tell you!" Boss Chen's voice was tinged with barely concealed excitement. "I’ve been planning something big here in Shenzhen! The policies are getting better every day; the electronic industry is changing rapidly! I want us to partner up and build a factory in Shenzhen dedicated to producing high-quality electronic components and precision parts! You have the technology; I have the channels and resources from the south. Together we can make something big happen! What do you think? Are you interested in coming over to make some serious money?!"
Go to Shenzhen? Partner to build a factory?
Jiang Tao held the phone tightly, his heart racing! This was undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity that could lead to qualitative leaps in his career! But it also meant leaving behind his current stable life, departing from his family to venture into an unfamiliar southern market filled with opportunities yet harsher realities—starting all over again…
He glanced at his gentle wife beside him and at their playful children while recalling all he had painstakingly built in this city—the foundation of his business and connections…
To go or not to go?
A difficult choice lay before him.
