Chapter 125: The Friendship between Guan and Bao
Facing the curious eyes of Wei Liqun and Li Yiwen, Lu Yiming smiled and said, "This is a business secret, so I can't disclose it for the time being. But think about it, we have 1.3 billion in cash in our account. Even if it's not a sure-win business, are you still afraid that I won't be able to pay it back when it matures?"
Wei Liqun thought about it and it was true. There were 1.3 billion yuan in the account, which gave him the confidence.
As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you will not be worried.
And then again, if Lu Yiming really committed fraud - who has ever seen a wealthy man committing fraud with 1.3 billion cash in his pocket?
"In short, as the financial officer of Future Capital, your job is to properly manage and oversee the use of the company's funds. You don't have to worry about anything else."
Wei Liqun felt relieved after thinking about it.
As an employee, the worst-case scenario is that the company goes bankrupt and you have to find another job. What does the rest have to do with you?
"Okay, Mr. Lu has a clear mind, so I won't let my imagination run wild."
After dealing with the matters of Future Capital, Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen returned to the Peninsula Hotel.
In the evening, Zheng Zhiguang brought good news.
He placed a red envelope on the table and said with a smile, "This is an invitation to a high-end meeting. I spent a lot of effort to get it. Li Chaoren will also attend the banquet. And unfortunately, this high-end meeting will be held at the Peninsula Hotel."
"Good boy, if I had known I would have sneaked in directly."
Lu Yiming was overjoyed and couldn't wait to open the envelope and take out the invitation.
"It seems that you are quite capable."
Zheng Zhiguang tidied his side bangs in a rather showy manner, and raised the corners of his mouth: "It's just so-so. After all, I am a manager of Standard Chartered Bank. If I can't do this, how can I do it?"
"Okay, I'll give you credit for this."
After receiving the invitation letter, Lu Yiming began to think about how to take advantage of this opportunity to maximize his own interests.
A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.
It is still 1998 and the myth of Li Chaoren has not yet been shattered.
The former Monkey King Sun Yuchen almost fleeced Buffett just by having a meal, and even forced the stock god to change the rules of the game.
It is said that among three people walking together, there must be one who can be my teacher.
Lu Yiming decided to follow the example of the "predecessors" and let Li Chaoren feel the power of quantum mechanics in advance, so that he can experience what it means that every generation has talented people, each one more brilliant than the other.
The banquet time soon arrived. At 6pm, the huge parking area in front of the Peninsula Hotel was already full of luxury cars. The Peninsula Hotel's own Rolls-Royce fleet also turned into shuttle buses, transporting dignitaries and celebrities to and fro.
In the room, Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen put on their newly bought suits and dressed up .
Although Lu Yiming looks young, he has a unique temperament of calmness and composure.
Li Yiwen, on the other hand, was a little nervous because he had never seen such a big scene before and lacked confidence in himself.
When Li Yiwen came out of the room and was about to take the elevator downstairs, he whispered to Lu Yiming, "There are many high-ranking celebrities from Hong Kong coming to the party tonight, so you must be careful. You can brag in front of us normally, but don't embarrass yourself in front of these people."
Lu Yiming smiled and responded casually: "How could someone as elegant and easy-going as me be embarrassed?"
Li Yiwen gently touched his forehead, feeling increasingly uneasy: "Haven't you done enough weird things? Just listen to my advice this time, and don't do anything fancy again."
In Li Yiwen's opinion, Lu Yiming was outspoken and had wild ideas. He was also attending such a large gathering of celebrities, which really frightened him.
"That's not right. Why does your voice seem to be shaking? You seem to be more nervous than me."
"Really? Maybe it's because it's too cold here."
The lobby on the first floor is full of lights and colors, exuding an atmosphere of luxury.
Although he was a second-generation human, Lu Yiming had never been to a banquet of this level.
Lobsters as thick as arms, black abalone bigger than the palm of your hand, which you can only see in magazines on weekdays...all kinds of precious seafood are placed in rows on the dining table as if they are free.
High-end red wine from France is piled up into a small hill here.
These are the happiness of rich people, so simple and ordinary.
Suddenly, Li Yiwen patted Lu Yiming on the shoulder and pointed to a place: "Look, it's Guan Jiahui!"
"Who is Guan Jiahui?"
Lu Yiming muttered and glanced over there.
Oh my goodness, isn’t this Guan Zhilin?
It turns out her real name is Guan Jiahui.
“It’s really beautiful.”
Glancing at Liu Luanxiong who was beside Guan Jiahui, Li Yiwen's face was full of amazement and envy.
To be honest, Miss Guan is worthy of being the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong. She is a top-notch vase who is so beautiful that she doesn't even need acting skills. Even though she is 36 years old now, she still has the peerless beauty and graceful figure that make men fall in love with her.
However, Guan Jiahui is now taken, and the man who walked in hand in hand with her, named Liu Luanxiong, is her boyfriend.
Although the beauty was already taken, she still attracted a lot of people's attention with her gorgeous dress and glamorous appearance.
I had only seen these stars in movies before, but now they appeared before my eyes so realistically that Li Yiwen couldn't help but feel unable to control his agitated heart.
Lu Yiming had never seen her in person before, and now that he saw that she was indeed beautiful, he immediately smiled and said softly, "She is indeed very beautiful. I really want to play a game of golf with her."
Li Yiwen was puzzled and asked, "What kind of golf?"
Lu Yiming cast a meaningful look at Li Yiwen: "You will understand later."
"Tsk, forget it."
Guan Jiahui and Liu Luanxiong are both celebrities in the circle, and most of the people who came to this party were their acquaintances. The two greeted everyone very familiarly.
Just at this moment, another man and a woman walked in.
This time, Lu Yiming recognized him even without Li Yiwen’s introduction.
"Li Jiaxin? This is another top star."
Li Jiaxin, who had just broken up with Liu Luanxiong not long ago, was walking around the city with her model boyfriend Chen Pingzhi, who was five years younger than her. When she looked at Guan Jiahui, her eyes were full of provocation.
These two beauties are both close friends of Liu Luanxiong, so it is inevitable that there will be tension and jealousy between them when they meet.
Li Yiwen envied this very much: "It's so cool for a man to live like Liu Luanxiong. It's great to be rich. You can summon all kinds of beautiful stars at will and send them away at will. You can have fun however you want and live like a god."
Lu Yiming also nodded: "So, money is the courage of a hero. Instead of standing by the abyss and envying others, it is better to retreat and weave a net. When you become a rich man, you can also have such a life."
Li Yiwen was fascinated by what Lu Yiming said, and his desire for money became stronger.
