Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

This is indeed a very simple question. 🐯🐝 ❻➈𝓼нùⓍ.Ⓒ𝐎𝓜 ☮🍫

However, this really stumped Li Haoyu. If it were before he encountered the simulator, Li Haoyu wouldn't have had so many options; he basically had no choices at all.

It all boils down to a simple life with a wife, kids, and a warm bed, but even that depends on fate. It depends on whether he'll be lucky enough to meet a girl who doesn't care about his money and loves him.

The probability is actually about the same as buying a lottery ticket.

Without the variable of the movie simulator, Li Haoyu would most likely have become an unwanted single man, but now Li Haoyu's life has endless possibilities.

If in the past it was a life of commoners barely surviving.

These are the rich guys who have just topped up their accounts and are now cheating.

Li Haoyu pondered for a while before answering, "I really don't know, but it's not a big deal. What's the point of life if everything is planned out in advance?"

In my view, a life that is predicted is a limited life; only an unknown life is full of challenges and truly exciting.

The universe is great because it is full of unknowns. Many people aspire to become astronomers because the universe is full of unknowns.

So once something is discovered, the joy is indescribable.

The same principle applies to life.

You only become excited, even eager, when you have to create your own future. And only after you've personally solved those problems will you be truly fearless about the road ahead.

Li Haoyu ultimately gave her this answer.

Li Huiyu pondered for a moment.

She finally came to her senses and said, "Isn't that the same as saying nothing at all? Can't you rich people just say something normal? Will you die if you don't pretend?"

Li Haoyu waved his hand.

However, he did not refute Li Huiyu.

Although what he said was indeed the truth, it was difficult for Li Huiyu to understand from her perspective. After all, not everyone understands the feeling of loneliness at the top.

You have to experience this firsthand to truly understand it.

However, Li Haoyu didn't plan to correct Li Huiyu now. Anyway, there was plenty of time. He would let Li Huiyu know how capable he was once she truly became one of his own.

…………

Li Haoyu finally got it done ahead of schedule:

Li Huiyu, a lowly pawn.

Actually, he originally planned to form a small team.

After all, he would still have to compete with Xie Zhiyao if he went to Yunnan. The saying "even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake" isn't without reason. After all, that's Xie Zhiyao's hometown, and his connections are incredibly complex.

Li Haoyu himself has met quite a few angel investors. It's important to know that the upper and lower limits of an angel investor's potential are often quite extreme.

Even the lowest-level nouveau riche with a little money can get the title of angel investor by investing a little. But then they run out of money.

Their dream has ended, and that's all.

The top-tier venture capitalists, on the other hand, focus on the industry, the specific sector, and the future of the nation. It's no exaggeration to say that these two groups are worlds apart.

But investors do exist.

It's not necessarily good or bad.

In the business world, there are investors who invest heavily to find the right people early on, sifting through the waves of opportunity. There are also examples of investors who work alongside entrepreneurs, supporting each other and growing together.

In the end, both sides reaped pleasing rewards.

However, there are also many examples of investors pushing their businesses too hard, and of investors and entrepreneurs scheming against each other.

Ultimately, this leads to a lose-lose situation: entrepreneurs lose their youth and other opportunity costs, while investors fail to obtain the expected returns on their investments. There are many examples of both.

In fact, Li Haoyu could understand both of these situations.

Angel investors are actually the most special type of investor.

They were among the first to invest in other people's dreams, displaying extraordinary courage and remarkable boldness.

After all, they all made their moves when the project was just starting out.

This also means that angel investors cannot make rational judgments about investment opportunities based on product and financial data, just like institutional investors in the later stages.

Because the risk of losing money is too high, angel investors' fundamental goal is also to make money. Therefore, entrepreneurs cannot treat investors as philanthropists, thinking they can get help without giving anything in return.

After all, most angel investors risk losing everything in the very early stages to support your startup with real money, so you should be aware of that.

Many people unfamiliar with this industry are curious: since angel investors are so wealthy and experienced, why don't they get involved themselves? Wouldn't that be a better choice?

This is actually a fallacy, because there is a world of difference between starting a business and investing.

Angel investing emphasizes risk diversification. Entrepreneurship, however, requires the courage to go all in and pursue a single path to the bitter end. This reflects the fundamentally different underlying logics of entrepreneurship and investing.

These are two completely unrelated things.

For angel investors, the most basic principle is not to put all your eggs in one basket.

For a period of time, the goal of angel investors is to ensure that a select few projects ultimately yield substantial returns. Betting entirely on any single project increases risk. 😡💚 ➅➈𝕤𝕙ᵘⓍ.ℂσⓜ 🐊☜

After all, if a few of the projects you bet on succeed, it can offset the losses from the majority of projects failing. But projects don't fall from the sky; you have to find them yourself.

This also means that every reasonably successful angel investor assesses at least a hundred projects a year to determine whether they are worth investing in.

Otherwise, the sample size would be insufficient to support the claim.

However, they will ultimately only invest in two or three projects a year at most, and it is not uncommon for them not to invest in any projects for one or two years.

This is the normal investment frequency for an angel investor. But starting a business is completely different. Once you start a business, you need to have the courage to go all in and the determination to break through even if you hit a wall.

No matter what setbacks and challenges we encounter, we will continue to do it without wavering.

If you always leave yourself an escape route, product development stagnates, and you don't go all out to solve problems, you can easily fall into a vicious cycle: team members leave, you can't raise funds, and the business fails to grow.

Some things can only be judged most accurately by those involved.

Even successful investors can't match this.

No matter how impressive an investor's past resume is, or even if many of their experiences are similar, they still don't truly understand entrepreneurship unless they've tried it themselves.

The issue of slow new chapter updates can be addressed by...

While watching the show, I found every character quite endearing. However, if we set aside personal feelings and analyze it from the perspective of the boss and employees...

In fact, both sides have quite a few shortcomings.

The employees' problems are quite obvious. They rely on their status as fellow villagers and seek Xie Zhiyao's help whenever they encounter difficulties, but they haven't even done their own jobs properly.

This is no longer simply a matter of work ability.

It's a matter of attitude.

Xie Zhiyao may seem like he hasn't done anything.

But as a boss, this approach actually creates more problems for him.

Xie Zhiyao clearly knew where the employees' problems lay, but he didn't correct them because he was too proud to admit it. As a boss, he saw minor issues in the company but didn't address them.

This is a fatal thing.

More importantly, Xie Zhiyao's overall perspective is also lacking.

He was clearly a person who had achieved some success, but how come he couldn't even improve the most basic industrial chain and service awareness? So many projects hadn't made much money for several years.

This made Li Haoyu wonder how Xie Zhiyao had managed to make such successful investments. He even amassed a fortune of tens of millions – it was truly outrageous!

If he hadn't met his savior, Xu Hongdou...

Li Haoyu's businesses will go bankrupt in no time.

So before Li Haoyu went to Youfeng Courtyard, he had two plans. The first was that he would buy Youfeng Courtyard directly, but Xie Zhiyao might not sell it to him.

Otherwise, if he simply wanted to make some money, given his funds...

There's no need to run such a tiring guesthouse.

Xie Zhiyao actually had many better options.

So Li Haoyu also made another backup plan: if he couldn't buy the Windy Courtyard, he could simply open a new Windy Courtyard himself and compete with Xie Zhiyao.

In any case, based on what Li Haoyu knew:

The guesthouses there have donated an outrageous amount.

Li Haoyu browsed through the information online.

All the listings were guesthouses and inns in southern Hunan for sale or rent. Li Haoyu then opened a travel app and looked around, and all the listings were guesthouses in Lijiang being offered at a discount.

This shows that the situation for guesthouse owners is not good. In fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's terrible. But this is quite normal, because they are all paying the price for their impulsive actions.

In fact, most people who run bed and breakfasts have very similar thoughts and experiences.

They were all unhappy working in first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. Most of them had already accumulated some savings, so one day they suddenly couldn't sleep and started overthinking.

On a whim, they decided to open a bed and breakfast.

This instantly elevates the level of sophistication!

In their eyes, this is giving themselves a long vacation. From now on, they can sleep in until they naturally wake up every day, drink tea and read books in the afternoon, and drink and flirt with girls in the evening.

They planned to wait until they'd had their fill of fun and made enough money before heading back to Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou to prove themselves. But often... after falling into the trap of running a guesthouse, everything collapsed.

But he and Xu Hongdou are going to be the bosses.

You can't do everything yourself.

That would be too undignified.

Therefore, you always need one or two people to do the work.

Li Haoyu had thought long and hard about who should be chosen, but couldn't come up with a suitable candidate. After all, while men had a physical advantage in labor, Li Haoyu didn't have any taste for NTR (Netorare, a Japanese term for a sexually active person).

He absolutely could not accept any man staying near his woman for an extended period. But the woman didn't have many suitable suitors.

After all, for Xu Hongdou to not want to reject this person, they must be someone Li Haoyu trusts. Otherwise, wouldn't he be placing a huge third wheel next to himself?

Until Li Huiyu suddenly appeared.

It perfectly met all of Li Haoyu's needs.

Li Haoyu even had a bold idea: in the future, it might be possible for a master and servant to share the same husband. Since the ancients could do that...

What is there that he wouldn't dare to do?

Li Haoyu thought of this wonderful scene.

His calm heart was instantly stirred with emotion.

That day is definitely not far away!

For Xu Hongdou.

Although Li Haoyu's bet had left a slight impression on her, she had almost forgotten about it due to her busy work schedule.

Because work and life must go on.

It won't stop for anyone.

Xu Hongdou resumed this routine of going between three points. Now, Xu Hongdou is considered a mid-to-high-level manager at the hotel, and she has basically escaped the heavy physical labor.

However, all sorts of troublesome things still kept popping up.

For example, a newly hired employee might accidentally break some cutlery. Especially during peak holiday periods, it's not surprising that all sorts of funny incidents can happen.

For example, yesterday someone didn't properly attach a guest's luggage tag and sent the guest's luggage to another room. Fortunately, Xu Hongdou discovered it early, before the guest even noticed.

Even though she corrected herself, she didn't cause any major trouble.

In addition, there are many other things that she needs to personally oversee, such as the guests' breakfast, which she must check herself to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

This is Xu Hongdou's responsibility: she needs to handle guests' complaints about all the equipment, facilities, personnel, and services of the hotel and restaurant.

She even had to act as a lubricant, easing tensions between different departments. After all, some things still required coordination from other departments, and in these situations, past personal relationships became quite important.

All of that aside, Xu Hongdou also had to maintain good relationships with her VIP customers. None of those customers were easy to deal with, although most of them didn't make any outrageous demands.

However, there is no one Xu Hongdou can afford to offend. For example, this weekend she had a VIP guest who wanted a room upgrade, but there were no rooms available.

Xu Hongdou could only apply for two meal vouchers for her.

It took a lot of comforting to resolve the issue.

Xu Hongdou is now completely exhausted.

She just wanted to have dinner quietly by herself.
