Chapter 137: Battle to Defend Hong Kong (7)
While countless people were worried about the future of capital, Lu Yiming was in high spirits and stole the limelight.
He received an invitation to a grand dinner!
The entire banquet lasted for several hours. No one knew who else was attending the banquet, nor did anyone know what Lu Yiming talked to anyone. All they knew was that before he left, in front of reporters and the media, those bigwigs in the circle personally saw Lu Yiming out the door, praised him as a responsible businessman, and were optimistic about the future development prospects of capital.
This incident soon became known to everyone in Hong Kong. Not long after Lu Yiming returned to the hotel, the related news had spread everywhere.
As soon as Lu Yiming came back, Li Yiwen came over curiously and asked, "Who did you meet? What did you talk about?"
Lu Yiming asked back with a smile: "Why? You want to know?"
"Okay, just pretend I didn't ask."
Li Yiwen was scared.
He knew that the person Lu Yiming was going to meet tonight was definitely not an ordinary person. It would be bad for a small fry like him to know too much.
"I'm just worried that you won't be able to control your words. Trouble comes from the mouth. What if you say something nonsense again?"
Lu Yiming comforted him, "Don't worry, I know my limits in this matter. I didn't say anything else. I was just repeating the same old tune."
Li family.
"I'm so mad, so mad, damn, how come this kid didn't get hit by a car when he went out?"
Li Kai held a newspaper tightly in his hand , with veins bulging on the back of his hand. His face was ferocious, as if he wanted to eat someone.
He was stimulated by the fact that Lu Yiming was invited to attend the dinner.
There is no doubt that Lu Yiming rose to the top by stepping on the shoulders of the Li family. He fleeced the Li family, and not only did the Li family not gain any benefit at all. If anything happens to Future Capital in the future, the Li family will have to take the blame.
Who can tolerate this?
However, Superman Li had already given the order, so the Li family pretended to know nothing and did not mention the matter at all, requiring the entire Li family to wait and see what happened.
Although Li Kai was angry, he did not lose his mind. He also understood that in the current situation, many shady means could not be used on Lu Yiming. Otherwise, he would stand against everyone in Hong Kong. When the time came, everyone would call for his death, and even the Li family would not be able to withstand it.
Lu Yiming now has the aura of a "patriotic businessman".
However, given Li Kai's temper, it was impossible for him to remain silent.
After much thought, Li Kai decided to make use of Lu Yiming's identity.
On this day, Lu Yiming was still at the Peninsula Hotel, eating a large pot of braised food with Zhao Tiezhu and Li Yiwen in his room.
Wei Liqun rushed in and said to Lu Yiming: "Mr. Lu, something terrible has happened!"
"What's the matter? You look so nervous?"
Lu Yiming was sweating profusely while eating. He quickly drank two big gulps of milk and wiped his sweat with a wet tissue.
Wei Liqun held a newspaper in his hand. He spread it out in front of Lu Yiming and pointed to one of the sections and said, "This is the latest issue of Next Weekly. Take a look at this news."
Next Magazine, which originally specialized in entertainment gossip news, suddenly reported on Lu Yiming's life experience and called him a huge con man. His so-called winning in the future was simply a Ponzi scheme.
Wei Liqun said worriedly: "This news is spreading rapidly. If we don't handle it well, all our previous efforts will be in vain, and our future capital will also be ruined. The most important thing is that we may be in debt of billions..."
“Good fellow…”
Li Yiwen almost couldn't catch his breath.
At such a young age, he is already in debt of several billion. His life is over.
We must get through this stage!
However, what you fear will come to you.
Just at this moment, Meng Xiujie called.
"Boss Lu, a lot of people have suddenly come to the company, all asking to redeem their principal in advance."
Lu Yiming said calmly, "I understand. You keep them calm first. I'll finish this pot of stew and then deal with it."
Meng Xiujie: “…”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiming said expressionlessly: "Someone in the company requested to redeem the principal in advance."
After hearing this, Wei Liqun almost fell down and his face turned pale with fear.
Fund companies raise funds and then invest to make profits, and like banks, their biggest fear is a bank run.
If there’s a squeeze, it’s all over.
Li Yiwen couldn't help but blame him, "I told you before not to be so high-profile. Now look, something has happened."
Lu Yiming burped and waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's just a small matter, don't make a fuss. Tiezhu, let's go to the company. Cousin, Uncle Wei, you guys eat this stew, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Li Yiwen snorted and couldn't help but complain: "You even brought the iron pillar with you. It turns out you are afraid of being beaten too ."
Although he was panicking, Li Yiwen had no other options. After all, he was deeply tied to Lu Yiming, and if anything happened to Lu Yiming, not only would he be finished, but Zheng Zhiguang and Lin Shuyi would also be finished.
He had even begun to imagine what expression Lin Shuyi would have on her face if she knew the news.
Lu Yiming and Zhao Tiezhu went downstairs and found a driver in the hotel. They asked the driver to drive a Rolls-Royce to take them to the Future Capital headquarters.
The square below the office building where Future Capital's headquarters is located is now filled with excited investors. The property's security guards have all been mobilized to maintain order.
Lu Yiming and his friends got off the car at the intersection.
Looking at the surging crowd in front of him, Li Yiwen's face looked very unhappy: "The situation is not optimistic, there are so many people. And this is just the beginning. What if it causes panic..."
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Is your mouth blessed?"
Li Yiwen quickly shut up, fearing that he might have accidentally said something wrong.
Lu Yiming said calmly, "Let's go and take a look first."
