Ivanka didn't know how to answer Li Rui's doubts, so she could only vaguely say that both projects were recommended by Cohen.

This is true. After hearing that the Kushner family wanted to invest in these two projects, Cohen was very enthusiastic. Not only did he help them get high interest rates from 1MDB, but he also arranged for them to visit theranos several times and even had lunch with Elizabeth.

It was under the guidance of Li Rui and the introduction of Cohen that Jared made the investment decision, but this was a major decision related to the rise and fall of the family after all. Jared had to be cautious. The due diligence on theranos became a thorn in his heart. If he could not understand this matter, he would never feel at ease.

Li Rui said: "It turns out that Jared and I did the same thing..."

He deliberately raised some tones enough for people over the bedroom to hear them.

Sure enough, after hearing Li Rui's words, Jared, who could not see or hear clearly, became even more anxious.

What's the same thing?

Did Li Rui do what I had done to Ivanka? That would be great!

In desperation, his alcoholic spirit suddenly surged, and he burped his wine and almost vomited it out.

Li Rui heard this in the living room and said strangely: "Ivanka, have you heard any sound? Why does it seem like a dog is barking? Is your neighbor's dog?"

Ivanka also heard it and hurriedly covered it up, "You must have heard it wrong. The sound insulation here is very good. It is impossible to hear the sound of the neighbor's house. The neighbors don't have dogs either."

Li Rui said "Oh": "That's good. I thought it was my neighbor's dog who was in a thirsty way... It would be better for a barking dog to undergo a sterilization surgery, which would be much more honest."

Ivanka didn't know that Li Rui was deliberately making fun of him, so she could only nod and said, "Yes, sterilization should be done, so she won't scream."

After saying that, she was afraid that Li Rui would continue to talk about these messy things, so she quickly dropped the topic and said, "Have you visited theranos too? What is your true view of this project?"

Li Rui thought for a while and said, "Do you want to listen to the truth or lies?"

"Of course I listen to the truth..." Ivanka blurted out, "I want to hear your lies, too."

Li Rui said: "Then let's tell lies first. I am very optimistic about the technical potential of theranos, and this will open up a new health testing model, with the market prospects even surpassing Apple because people can not use mobile phones, but they cannot do not have health."

Ivanka murmured: "You said it well, but this is a lie? So you don't think so at all. You never think theranos is a good investment, right?"

Seeing that she was a little excited, Li Rui smiled: "Ivanka, then you can answer my question. What do you think is the purpose of investment?"

Ivanka was stunned, and many answers echoed in her mind.

Li Rui reminded: "Follow your heart and tell the truest answer."

"Make money." Ivanka said honestly. This is the business essence she learned from her father Lao Tang since she was a child. The ultimate goal of all business is to make money, otherwise why do you have to work hard to do business?

Li Rui said: "That's right. Since the purpose of investment is to make money, it's enough to make money from theranos project. As for whether their technology is real and can the business model make sense, whocares?"

Li Rui's words reminded Ivanka like a sudden enlightenment.

Yes, you can only make money. What does it matter if the project is true or false?

Just like the story of the tulip bubble in the Windmill Kingdom that Ivanka heard Lao Tang tell the story of the Windmill Country when he was a child, the final facts proved that it was a speculative farce. The tulip itself has no value. Countless people lost money, but some people made a lot of money from it.

Ivanka was stunned for a while before she woke up like a dream and murmured: "What about your truth?"

Li Rui said: "I never think theranos is a technology company. I just regard it as a feasible investment project, follow the trend, enter the market first, take action at a high price, and leave quietly. In the saying of Huaguo, this is called making a fortune in silence. Otherwise, do you think Murdoch, Ellison, and the Walmart family are all fools?"

Ivanka took a long breath and said, "I understand... Then do you think Jared should invest in this project?"

Li Rui asked back: "Should Adam and Eve steal apples?"

Ivanka was puzzled.

Li Rui said: "Theranos are the apples in the Garden of Eden. They are very attractive, but they carry fatal dangers. If you and Jared are Adam and Eve, are you willing to watch the apples hanging on the tree every day, drooling but not eating them, or risking to taste the apples? There is no right or wrong choice, it only depends on whether you are willing to take the risks."

Ivanka understood Li Rui's metaphor.

The temptation is there, you bear the risks yourself. Whether to eat or not is an eternal question, and everyone has their own answer.

But what she didn't understand was that Apple was not a temptation, but a deliberate rendering of an important character that became a coveted temptation.

That important role is the snake that seduced Adam and Eve to steal the apple in the story of Eden, and it is also the role that Li Rui is currently playing!

"Are you satisfied with my answer?" Li Rui stared at her and said.

Feeling that Li Rui's eyes were strange, Ivanka was panicked and nodded, "I understand, I will ask Jared to think carefully. Thank you for your help!"

Li Rui whispered: "How do you want to thank me?"

Ivanka blushed and said, "What kind of thanks do you want?"

Li Rui looked at her beautiful and charming face with a tender face. Just when Ivanka thought he was going to do something excessive, Li Rui suddenly said: "Don't do such a thing again next time. Just ask if you have anything, and I will definitely tell the truth."

Ivanka was shocked.

Li Rui pointed to the bedroom door and said, "He is not drunk, right?"

Ivanka's face turned red: "You...you knew it long ago?"

Li Rui smiled and said, "I'm not a fool."

Ivanka was embarrassed and stammered: "Don't blame him, he...he just valued this investment too much."

Seeing her panic, Li Rui couldn't help but feel a swaying heart, stretched out his hand to hug her waist, and said gently: "If it were me, I would never let you do such a thing."

Ivanka was shocked by Li Rui's hug. He wanted to struggle but was afraid that Jared would hear it. He quickly begged in a low voice: "Li, let me go... don't let Jared see it!"

Li Rui said: "Isn't this exactly what he hopes? Tell me where is his bottom line? Should I caress your hand, hold your waist, or go further? Since he sent you to seduce me, he should be mentally prepared like this, right?"
