Chapter 130: The Threat from the Li Family
If money is too easy to make, it is easy for people to become arrogant.
Then they will start using their little brains, hoping to earn more.
This money is so easy to make. As long as they can successfully trick users into paying money, they can get high commissions.
And this financial product, Win in the Future, will never have trouble selling.
Meng Xiujie thought, even if he made calls all day long, how many people could he fool? It would be better to be a middleman and develop more downlines, so that he could make more money.
After hearing Meng Xiujie's thoughts, Li Yiwen immediately felt something was wrong.
Brother, this is not a good idea.
However, Lu Yiming readily agreed to Meng Xiujie's idea.
"What do you mean by recruiting people? It makes us look like a pyramid scheme. We are a formal fund company. Can that be called recruiting? We should call it developing our business and expanding our team."
Li Yiwen thought, isn’t this still a pyramid scheme?
"Well, I will divide you into business groups. Each of you will lead a team and recruit like-minded partners. They will also be employees of our Future Capital and enjoy employee benefits. I will discuss this matter with Mr. Li and make a formal announcement tomorrow. Your suggestion is very good. Go to the finance department later to collect a 10,000 yuan bonus. And I will give you a 1% commission based on how much investment they can attract!"
Meng Xiujie was so happy that he almost fainted after hearing this. He originally wanted to make more money, so he used his brain, and not only was his plan accepted by Lu Yiming, but he also got a bonus of 10,000 yuan for free, and the people he brought in could also increase his rebate. What a win!
This boss is worth dealing with!
The 1990s, the last twilight of Hong Kong.
If you don't live in this era, you will never understand the pride and wildness of Hong Kong people. Hong Kong's economy has not declined, so they are still proud, and their competition for wealth has not changed, so they are still wild.
Lu Yiming's win in the future, with guaranteed principal and interest, and an annual yield of 10%, is as conspicuous as a firefly in the dark night to most middle and lower class people in Hong Kong who have no investment channels, and is no different from a blessing from heaven.
As the news spread, more and more people got to know the Future Fund and its young helmsman, Lu Yiming.
79 Deep Water Bay
Looking at the headlines in the newspaper, Li Chaoren's face turned so dark that water seemed to drip out of it.
Li Kai said angrily, "This guy named Lu Yiming is really too much! I have sent people to investigate. This guy has no background in Hong Kong and is from the mainland. And I heard that he is just a high school student. He dared to play tricks on our Li family. He is really tired of living! Do you want me to take action and teach him a lesson?"
However, Li Chaoren's eldest son Li Ju rejected his younger brother Li Zekai's proposal.
"The Asian financial crisis has now spread to Hong Kong, and international hot money is everywhere. However, our Li family is rich but has not stepped in to rescue the market. This has already aroused public anger, but we have been waiting for the result. We are now taking action against this young man named Lu. No, it doesn't even have to be us who take action. As long as someone takes action, the fire will most likely burn our Li family in the end."
Li Kai said nonchalantly: "Brother, you are too conservative. Our Li family is rich and powerful, so why would we be afraid of this?"
The two of them have fought overtly and covertly countless times for the inheritance of the family property, and they have disliked each other for a long time.
But after all, in front of his father, Li Ju couldn't show his disgust, so he said calmly: "As long as we are used to it, the strange things will disappear on their own. Why should we risk getting burned just to vent our anger? What's more, we know very little about this young man named Lu Yiming. He spent more than 1 billion to set up Future Capital, went out of the door to hold a big banquet, and bought newspapers to report it. Which of these is something a student from an ordinary school can do?"
Li Chaoren admired Li Ju's steadiness. He took out the cigar from his mouth, blew out a smoke ring, and said comfortably: "The Li family is now rich and powerful, and there is really no need to take risks. This young man named Lu Yiming came to Hong Kong with 1.3 billion in cash and wanted to use my reputation to get promoted. This kind of person is very scheming and may have some tricks up his sleeve. Ah Ju is right. No matter what Lu Yiming wants to do, we just need to not respond."
Li Kai is already in his thirties, but he is still young and energetic. He is still a little unconvinced: "Are we just going to let it go? Dad, he is slapping you in the face!"
Li Chaoren was not moved by Li Kai's instigation, and continued calmly, "There is a long way to go. With our Li family's status and connections in Hong Kong, there will be plenty of opportunities to return the favor in the future. There is no need to rush. The most important thing right now is to calm the situation down. Ah Ju, find someone to call those newspapers and suppress this unhealthy trend for me."
Li Ju nodded slightly and said respectfully: "Yes, I understand."
Li Ju walked aside and called his personal secretary: "Please connect me to Hu Donghua of Donghua Newspaper."
Soon, the call was connected.
Hu Donghua, who was on the other side, was a little terrified when he heard that it was Li Chaoren's eldest son Li Ju who called. He said, "Mr. Li."
Li Ju smiled and said gently, "Hello, Editor-in-Chief Hu. I noticed that your newspaper recently published an article about my dad. And the content of the article doesn't seem very friendly to our Li family."
Although Li Ju spoke in a gentle and refined manner, Hu Donghua felt tremendous pressure, and cold sweat unknowingly flowed down his temples.
This is the pressure from the big clubs.
“Yes… yes…”
Li Ju's tone remained unchanged, and he continued slowly, "It's like this, my dad doesn't want to attract too much attention , I hope you can give me some face."
When Hu Donghua heard that it was Li Chaoren who personally ordered it, he was almost scared. However, he did not agree without hesitation, but refused with great embarrassment.
"Mr. Li, I'm afraid I can't do this."
Li Ju's expression changed slightly.
He didn't expect that even a tabloid like this would dare to disobey the orders of their Li family.
However, Li Ju only asked in a puzzled tone: "Our Li family has never offended you, right? You are not even willing to give me this little face?"
However, even if Hu Donghua was deaf, he could still hear the threat in Li Changzhi's tone at this moment.
Maybe, after get off work this afternoon, he will accidentally die on the street.
Thinking of this, Hu Donghua almost cried and quickly confessed: "No, Mr. Li, our newspaper has been fully acquired, and I can't make the decision now."
