"Investing in people is not as simple as giving money to one person to support one person. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Snape whispered, "The so-called investment in people is mainly to befriend a person when he is at a low ebb, to be friends with him as much as he can, and if possible, to help him solve problems within his ability." You know, people will think that friends who are willing to help themselves during their low ebb are real friends, so when the other party comes out of the low ebb, they will not easily forget this friendship, and will return as much as possible, so that as an investor, I can receive a return that far exceeds what I paid before. ”

"It's not easy. Catherine said thoughtfully: "If you want to do this, you must first be able to judge whether a person is worthy of your investment, since it is at a low ebb, it means that the other party must be very down, in the face of such a person, it is difficult to distinguish whether he has the value of investment, right." After choosing a target, you have to make the other party think that you are a friend who really made friends with him, this kind of potential person is probably not a fool, and it is not so simple to hide from them. ”

"You can't hide it. Snape shook his head and said with a sigh: "It is easy for a smart person to find out whether a person is really befriending him, so the only way to hide it from them is to really befriend them." Invest in real emotions and give genuine friendships, so that you can reap the same sincerity. ”

"The cost of such an investment is too great. Catherine nodded, "I'm afraid it's not easy for a businessman. ”

"The cost is great, but the reward is big enough. Snape stroked his beard and said, "As long as the investment is successful, you can gain the friendship of a strong person or a superior person, and when such friendships increase, business development will naturally become easier, and the road can become wider." ”

"But I don't like that, Grandpa Snape. Catherine shook her head and said: "I still think that whether it is helping others or making friends, there should be no other purpose, once there is another purpose, this kind of help, this kind of feeling, will be overshadowed." Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and perhaps for you, this purpose is necessary, because after all, I am a knight, you are a merchant, and there are still differences in the way you think about things. ”

"Just don't like it?" said Snape, a little surprised, "I thought you'd say it's very annoying." ”

"I am a knight, and I uphold the beliefs and principles of knighthood, but I have no right to require everyone to use the same beliefs and principles to demand themselves, as long as it does not violate justice and justice, then I am not qualified to criticize other people's principles. Catherine smiled and said, "And, in fact, you have done nothing wrong, I don't think my grandfather will fail to see the authenticity of the friendship between you and him, since this friendship is sincere, then the purpose is not so important, you say?"

"Heh, you're such a good boy. The old man patted the girl on the shoulder, sighed and said, "You, your father, and your grandfather, the three of you are really alike, even the words you say are so similar. ”

"It seems that you said these things to both your father and grandfather. Catherine said as if coquettishly, "I thought I was the only one who knew." ”

"They have a right to know, just as I think you need to know now. The old man seemed to fall into the memory, and muttered, "When I became friends with your grandfather, I was not yet twenty years old, and I had just taken over the business left by my father, a very small business, and your grandfather was still a bronze-level professional at that time, and it was not long after the family settled in the capital of knowledge. From a great nobleman of the empire to a resident of the capital of knowledge, although he is still very wealthy, this gap in status is very torturous, because of this gap, he is very depressed, and often spends his days drinking in taverns. ”

"So you met your grandfather in the tavern. Catherine smiled nostalgically and said, "I heard my father tell me the story of your acquaintance with your grandfather, and he also heard from his grandmother, thinking that if it weren't for you, my grandfather would have been drunk to death at that time." ”

"It's not that exaggerated, at that time, your great-grandfather had just passed away, he was just a little dazed for a while because of the double blow, even if there was no me, he would be able to get out of the trough by himself sooner or later, I just sped up the process a little. Snape said with a smile: "When I first met your grandfather, I was a little curious about this man, and after hearing about him from other sources, I thought he was worth my investment, so I began to establish a friendship with him step by step, and closer to each other, and when I gradually became friends, I tried to persuade him until he finally came to his senses and regained his strength." ”

"It is said that my grandmother was grateful to you until she died. Catherine said: "At that time she was very worried about her grandfather, but he did not listen much to what she said, and as a result, she could only worry to herself, but she could not do anything. ”

"Hehe, I also know this, I saw it at that time, and she also thought of a lot of ways to get your grandfather out of the trough. Snape said: "After reinvigorating himself, he didn't develop much in business with me, but focused on improving his personal strengths. Although I don't know about this, I think that he may be a very potential professional like you, and he can even be said to be a genius, and it only took thirteen years to rise from a bronze professional all the way to a demigod. The day he was promoted to a demigod terrified me, and although my business had begun to expand and my goal was to become an influential person through my business activities, I had never been in contact with a demigod at the top of the Yarra world, and I hadn't even thought about it. ”

"It can be imagined. Catherine secretly glanced at Pannis, who had just teased a horned eagle beast and was now being chased by more than a dozen horned eagle beasts running around the deck, rubbing the corners of her forehead to make a headache, but the smile on the corner of her mouth was full of warmth: "When there is no contact, I always feel that the demigod is far away from us, as if he is from another world." But after it was really lifted, I realized that they were just a 'person', and there was no difference between them and us except for their strength. (To be continued.) )
