Over the past six months, the calls Chen Pingsheng received most frequently were from people asking to borrow money.
It's either this person or that one, and none of them would tell him how dire their situation was—they'd only say they needed a temporary cash flow.
They even promised him an annualized interest rate of 10% upon repayment.
If Chen didn't already know the current circumstances, he might have chipped in to help.
Or even taken the opportunity to snag some bargains.
But since he knows the situation now, no matter how attractive the asset, he won't touch it.
Being able to stabilize his own family business, avoid pay cuts, and not resort to staff optimization—
That alone is a major contribution to society.
At times like this, the most critical thing is stability. Stability, and then more stability.
Any asset that seems to hold irresistible appeal might only be a temporary illusion. A few years later, it could turn from gold to a burden no one wants.
