"Investing in a person is not just as simple as giving money to a person to support someone." Snape whispered: "The so-called investment in a person is mainly to make friends with a person when he is in a low period, to do his best to become friends with him, and if possible, try to help him solve problems within his own ability. You must know that people will think that friends who are willing to lend a helping hand to him during their low periods are real friends. Therefore, after the other party comes out of the low period, they will not easily forget this friendship and will return as much as possible. In this way, as an investor, I can receive returns far more than I did 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 in a low point, it means that the other party must be very down and out. Facing such a person, it is difficult to distinguish whether he has the value of investment, right? After choosing a goal, you must also make the other party think that you are the friends he has made with. Such potential people are probably not fools. It's not that easy to hide from them."

"It is impossible to hide it." Snape shook his head and said sighingly: "For smart people, it is easy to see if a person is really making friends with him. Therefore, the only way to hide it from them is to really make friends with them. Put in real emotions and give out sincere friendship, so that you can gain the same sincerity."

"The cost of this kind of investment is too high." Catherine nodded and said, "It may not be easy for a businessman."

"The cost is indeed very high, but the reward is also great enough." Snape said, stroking his beard, "As long as the investment is successful, you can gain friendship from a strong man or a superior. When such friendships increase, business development will naturally become easier and the road can become wider."

"But I don't like this, Grandpa Snape." Catherine shook her head and said, "I still think that helping others or making friends should not have any other purpose. Once there are other purposes, this help and this kind of feelings will be cast a shadow. Of course. This is just my personal idea. Perhaps for you, this purpose is necessary, because after all, I am a knight and you are a businessman. There are still differences in how to think about problems."

"Just don't like it?" Snape said in surprise. "I thought you would say it was very annoying."

"I am a knight. I uphold the beliefs and principles of the knight, but I have no right to require everyone to use the same beliefs and principles to demand themselves. As long as I do not violate justice and justice, then I am not qualified to accuse others of their principles of conduct." Catherine said with a smile: "And, in fact, you did not do anything wrong. I don't think my grandfather would not be able to see the authenticity of the friendship between you and him. Since this friendship is sincere, the purpose is not that important, what do you think?"

"Ha. You are such a good boy." The old man patted the girl on the shoulder and sighed, "You, your father, and your grandfather, you three are really similar, and even the words they say are so similar."

"It seems that you have said these words to your father and grandfather." Catherine said as if she was acting coquettishly: "I thought I only knew."

"They have the right to know, just as I think you need to know now." The old man seemed to be trapped in his memory and murmured: "When I became friends with my grandfather, I was not yet twenty years old. I had just taken over the business left by my father, a very small business, and your grandfather was a bronze rank profession at that time, and he had just settled in the knowledge for a while. From a great noble of an empire to a resident of the capital of knowledge, although he was still very rich, the gap in his identity was very tormenting. Because of this gap, he felt very depressed and often spent a lot of alcohol all day in the tavern."

"So, you met your grandfather in the tavern." Catherine said with a nostalgic smile: "I heard my father mention the story of you and your grandfather. He also heard from his grandmother that he thought that if it weren't for you, his grandfather would have died of drunkenness at that time."

"It's not that exaggerated. At that time, your great-grandfather had just passed away. He was just a little confused because of the double blow. Even without me, he would be able to get out of the trough by himself. I just accelerated the process a little bit." Snape said with a smile: "I was a little curious about this person when I first saw your grandfather. After I learned about his story from other channels, I thought he was worthy of my investment, so I began to establish friendship with him step by step and bring them closer together. After gradually becoming friends, I found ways to persuade him until he finally woke up and cheered up again."

"For this matter, 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 her grandfather didn't listen much to what she said, so she could only worry secretly but there was no way."

"Haha, I know these things, and I saw them at that time. She also thought of many ways to get your grandfather out of the trough." Snape said: "After he cheered up, he did not make any business development with me, but focused on improving his personal strength. Although I don't understand this, I think he may be a very promising profession like you. It can even be said that he is a genius. It took only thirteen years to advance from a bronze-level profession to a demigod. The day he was promoted to a demigod frightened me. Although my business had begun to gradually expand at that time, and the goal was to become a person who could influence the world through commercial activities, I had never been in contact with a demigod like a demigod who stood at the top of the Yara world, and I had never even thought about it."
