Chapter 129: Recruiting People
Li Yiwen's worries are not unreasonable, the Li family is really too big.
For someone in Li Chaoren's position, face is probably more important than anything else.
If Lu Yiming wants to step on Li Chaoren's shoulders to get to the top, will he not lose Li Chaoren's face?
If Li Chaoren gets angry by then, I’m afraid that Future Capital won’t even be able to make a splash and will be wiped out by someone.
"You'd better stop taking advantage of Li Chaoren. If you want to borrow his reputation, at least ask him first if he agrees."
Lu Yiming said disdainfully: "Li Chaoren hoards goods and raises housing prices by limiting sales. He makes money by this sustainable way of exhausting the resources. Has he asked the people of Hong Kong whether they agree? Has he asked the people of the whole country whether they agree ? I have read Li Chaoren's autobiography carefully. It is full of nonsense. There are only two words written on it - cannibalism."
The essence of business is to eat "people". All business models are designed around solving the needs of "people" and then demanding returns from "people".
However, the profit-seeking nature of businessmen will make the process of demanding more and more unscrupulous.
How is Superman Li so superior?
If the people of Hong Kong had not been driven into pigeon cages and squeezed until only a penny was left in their pockets, how could the huge trillion-dollar empire of the Cheung Kong Group have been born?
Lu Yiming smiled coldly: "Li Chaoren taught me to eat people. I have to eat them anyway. Why shouldn't I eat the big fish and meat instead of the leftovers of others?"
Li Yiwen was frightened by Lu Yiming's ambition. Where would the delicious food come from?
Naturally, they can only bite off other capital giants in Hong Kong. After all, ordinary people in Hong Kong have been exploited by the big families and other wealthy families. They are like dried lemons, and you can't get much oil out of them no matter how hard you squeeze them.
Li Yiwen was very worried and asked tentatively, "Even if you can make money by doing this, it means you have offended everyone. You will be surrounded by enemies wherever you go. How can you survive in the business circle of Hong Kong?"
Lu Yiming said disapprovingly: "We are from the mainland, so it is impossible for us to be accepted by the local wealthy families in Hong Kong. Moreover, if we come to Hong Kong to harvest leeks, we will still offend the wealthy families. Maybe we will offend the leeks as well. It would be better to only offend the wealthy families."
Li Yiwen suddenly understood why Lu Yiming started selling the product "Win in the Future" as soon as he established Future Capital.
In Future Capital's current fund pool, most of the money comes from the middle and lower class people in Hong Kong, and there is not a penny from the wealthy families.
Li Yiwen previously felt that the reputation of the Future Fund was not loud enough, so he did not yet seek investment from Hong Kong's wealthy families, thinking that after the company had a good start, the situation might improve.
However, no one expected that Lu Yiming seemed to have no intention of taking the rich family's money from the very beginning.
Lu Yiming continued, "Of course, the more passionate a story is, the more it can inspire people. The Future Fund is now unknown, and the only way to succeed is to take an unconventional approach. If I lead a group of ordinary small shareholders to kill all sides in the stock market, cutting the flesh of the rich and drinking the blood of hot money, will this story be legendary and passionate enough? Can it move people's hearts?"
Li Yiwen was speechless: "Are you really not going to stay in Hong Kong's business circle?"
Lu Yiming laughed: "Hong Kong is just a tiny place. Why should a real dragon like me stay in this small mud pond and hang out with a bunch of fish, shrimps and crabs? If I want to make it, I have to step onto the international stage and compete with foreigners. Only then can I be considered a real person."
This ambition and courage made Li Yiwen feel excited.
Although he doubted where Lu Yiming got his confidence from, at least this dream was still very impressive.
After all, who doesn’t want to be the brightest star in this world?
Although they were all "unknown" tabloids, Hong Kong is not that big after all, and Superman Li was involved, so people who saw the newspapers spread the news, and soon many people knew about Future Capital and the "Win in the Future" fund product that shouted the slogan of defending Hong Kong.
Even though the fund industry is in mourning now, this is a product approved by Superman Li, and it has such an exciting slogan. How can ordinary investors resist this?
For a time, there was an endless stream of people seeking advice about the "Win in the Future" financial product.
People like Zhao Dali who sell the "Win in the Future" products are respected as "insiders" by investors and are invited to have tea just to get some credit from them.
Of course, the reason why these people are so concerned about the product "Win in the Future" is, in addition to the exciting slogans and the endorsement of Superman Li, the most important thing is that the product itself has a high enough rate of return.
In the "Records of the Grand Historian: Biographies of Merchants" Chapter 69, it says: "The world is bustling with people, all for profit; the world is bustling with people, all for profit." The king of a thousand chariots, the marquis of ten thousand households, and the ruler of a hundred houses still worry about poverty, let alone the common people.
No matter how loud the slogans are or how awesome the people endorsing them are, they are just auxiliary. If no tangible benefits can be provided, no one will buy into them.
After all, these days, no matter what you do, you have to pay extra.
Who would do something that doesn't make money?
The Future Fund has become famous, and many people come here to buy the financial products launched by Lu Yiming, fearing that they will miss out on this feast of wealth.
And the company is also thriving.
Several new subordinates come to the company and make crazy phone calls every day. Not only do they boast loudly, but they also become more and more exaggerated: "Did you know that even Li Chaoren is optimistic about our Future Fund? It's really rich, $1.3 billion!"
"Next, we will launch another product. By investing in stocks related to high-tech industries, we will pay out a fixed dividend of 10% of the principal every year. Even if you deposit it in a bank on a regular basis, the interest rate is only a pitiful 1.1%. Did you know that this product is as high as 10%?"
"Even bonds only have a pitiful 3% return rate, but our new product will not only guarantee that your principal will not be lost, but we will also pay for the losses ourselves, and give you a high dividend of 10% every year! If it weren't for the sake of reputation, to make up for you old customers and reduce your losses, the new boss would never be so generous. There is no more cost-effective and more secure financial product in the whole of Hong Kong. Each person can only buy a maximum of 500,000, first come first served. What are you hesitating about?"
Using the sales pitch taught to them by Lu Yiming, the three of them earned more than 100,000 yuan in commissions in the past few days, which made them burst with so much work energy that they wished they could live in the company.
Li Yiwen was amazed by this result, while Lu Yiming was very satisfied.
On this day, Meng Xiujie secretly found Lu Yiming and asked, "Boss, can I recruit someone to join us?"
