Chapter 126: Taking advantage of Li Ka-shing
There are quite a few female stars coming tonight, including the already famous Kwan Ka Wai and Lee Ka Sam, as well as the not-yet-famous international stars Zhang Ziyi and Fan Shuishui.
Although their beauty was amazing, Lu Yiming basically just glanced at them and didn't linger on them for long.
On the contrary, there were many young men like Lu Yiming, who came forward and made various excuses to get close to her, as if they wanted to have some sex with her.
Lu Yiming's calmness made Li Yiwen a little uneasy: "Strange, you didn't take the opportunity to ask for a few phone numbers? These are all big stars in the entertainment industry. Don't you have a problem with your sexual orientation?"
Apart from other things, at this point in time, Fan Shuishui's "Return of the Pearl" will only be broadcast in Taiwan in April and will not be introduced to the mainland until October. Now, you can buy the whole set of discs from some small vendors in Hong Kong.
Fan Shuishui became extremely popular in the past few months.
Facing Li Yiwen's doubts, Lu Yiming gave a strong response: "I came to Hong Kong to make money, not to pick up girls. Besides, with my handsomeness, if I really hook up with someone, I will be at a disadvantage, okay?"
Li Yiwen was speechless.
My cousin's face is probably bulletproof.
After taking a few sips of wine to calm himself, Li Yiwen saw that many people were walking around, handing out business cards, and making friends . Such high-end gatherings were not available very often, so those who could come in usually knew that they had to seize this rare opportunity to make connections and expand their circle of friends.
But Lu Yiming remained indifferent. He just stood quietly in the corner, staring at the door.
That look was like that of an experienced hunter waiting for his prey.
Seeing Lu Yiming acting so nonchalant, Li Yiwen could only urge him quietly: "What a pity, we didn't prepare our own business cards. It was a mistake. However, even without business cards, we can still exchange phone numbers. Don't just sit there, take action. It's also good to get to know a few more big guys. Don't people in finance rely on connections?"
Lu Yiming looked disdainful, shook his head and said, "What's the point of knowing more small fish? At most, they can make a dish, and there won't be much meat. What I'm waiting for is a big fish, so big that it can't be stewed in a pot."
As he was speaking, several people walked in, led by none other than Li Chaoren.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the door.
What about Kwan Ka-wai and Lee Ka-sum? So what if they are stunningly beautiful?
In the face of the power of money, that's nothing.
Li Yiwen excitedly grabbed Lu Yiming's shoulders, his face flushed, his eyes wide open: "Oh my God, look, it's Li Chaoren! It's really Li Chaoren!"
Lu Yiming stood up, smiled slightly, and said, "The big fish I've been waiting for is finally here."
This Hong Kong business legend, who is over 60 years old, is wearing a black suit and a dark blue striped tie, but he does not look old. It is obvious that he takes good care of himself and looks only in his 40s or 50s.
He has a gentle smile and elegant manners, which makes people feel as if they are in the spring breeze and in a good mood.
Liu Luanxiong was the first to come forward and say hello, and he was very respectful to Li Chaoren.
And Li Chaoren's demeanor is truly impressive.
But who knows, when it comes to using houses to exploit the poor, the former rubber factory owner in front of us, who is wearing glasses, has an elegant smile and slightly bald hair, is the real expert.
All the weird operations carried out by domestic real estate developers, such as hoarding land and refusing to sell it, using chickens to lay eggs, and selling land at high prices, are basically what Li Chaoren has done. It is not an exaggeration to call him the ancestor of real estate developers in the new era. For example, the common area that home buyers hate so much was first set by Li Chaoren.
When it comes to doing business, Li Chaoren's abilities are naturally first-rate, otherwise he would not have been able to start from scratch, build such a huge business, and become the richest man among Chinese.
But if we talk about character, it's really haha.
Li Chaoren said that his secret in doing business is never to take the last penny, but in fact, what he means is to make money until you only have one penny left. This is very much in line with the Chaoshan business style - business is business, and morality and stance are not important at all.
To put it bluntly, they are obsessed with money and are profit-driven.
In this era, everyone is still immersed in the myth of Li Chaoren , but Lu Yiming, who was reborn from the future, knows Li Chaoren's character very well. Facing this man who eats people without leaving any bones and makes all home buyers hate him, Lu Yiming has no good feelings at all.
After all, he was once a house slave.
As the saying goes, give others a taste of their own medicine. Since you, Li Chaoren, like to take advantage of others so much, then it is only natural that I take advantage of you today, right?
Liu Luanxiong and Li Chaoren were chatting about the Hong Kong stock market when Lu Yiming suddenly stood out from the crowd, excitedly grabbed Li Chaoren's hand, and shook it vigorously, saying, "Mr. Li, my idol, I finally see you in person! It's really not easy! My admiration for you is like a surging river that can't be stopped, and like a flood that never stops..."
This action immediately shocked everyone present.
Damn, where did this young man come from?
The upper class is a big circle, and within it there are various small circles. For example, it is difficult for a billionaire to hang out with a billionaire below 10 billion.
After all, every circle has its own rules. Just like in an occasion like tonight, according to common sense, if Lu Yiming had no one to introduce him, he would not be qualified to stand in front of Li Chaoren, otherwise it would be breaking the rules.
And now, Lu Yiming's actions are undoubtedly a violation of the rules.
"Who is this kid from? Do you know him?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen it."
"Strange, I'm familiar with all those big families, but I've never seen this young man before."
The people around were whispering to each other, with puzzled expressions on their faces.
And when they saw Li Chaoren's expression change from initial astonishment to a smile with a hint of anger, they became even more gloating.
"This kid is in trouble."
"Everyone knows that Li Chaoren's image as a good guy is just an act. In fact, he is a very cruel person."
"Is this kid crazy? Can you just shake Li Chaoren's hand? He's shaking it so vigorously. Li Chaoren is already sixty years old, and he's not afraid of hurting Li Chaoren."
Seeing this scene, Li Yiwen was dumbfounded and stood there at a loss as to what to do.
He was just admiring the long legs of the beauties, but he didn't pay attention and didn't keep an eye on his cousin. In the blink of an eye, Lu Yiming started to make trouble again!
Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Li Yiwen knew that something was wrong. He became nervous and worried that the situation would get out of control.
