Chapter 143: Your era is over
"Good fellow , he even came to me through your Standard Chartered Bank? Could it be that Li Chaoren wanted to ask me for dividends? If he wanted to come to me, he wouldn't have to go through you."
Lu Yiming said with a smile.
"Of course not. I think if Li Chaoren wanted to find you, he would just send a lawyer. Why would he come to Standard Chartered Bank?"
Lu Yiming said: "That's the truth."
Zheng Zhiguang looked around and found that no one was paying attention to this side, so he whispered: "It's Soros."
Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised: "He actually dared to show up in Hong Kong, isn't he afraid of being beaten?"
International hot money, led by Soros, wants to short sell and destroy the economy.
Even so, Soros still dared to come to Hong Kong. Apart from anything else, his fearless spirit deserves a thumbs up.
Lu Yiming opened the invitation and found that it was all in English. He immediately complained: " What the hell? Is it so difficult to find someone who can write Chinese? Okay, I get it. I will be on time. To be honest, I haven't met him yet."
Lin Heung Tower.
Lu Yiming looked at the fat old man with gray hair opposite him and said calmly in English: "Mr. Soros, I have heard of your name for a long time."
Soros was obviously surprised that Lu Yiming could speak such fluent English. He rarely met young people who spoke English so fluently in Xia Country, and for a moment, he had a much better impression of Lu Yiming.
He picked up the teacup in his hand and raised it towards Lu Yiming. Soros then spoke: "I have heard your name many times recently and I am very interested in you."
Lu Yiming joked: "I am just a nobody, is it necessary to mobilize so many people?"
Soros smiled and said directly: "Last time you shorted the ruble, you made about 70 million US dollars. This small amount of money was not noticeable. But this time when you shorted the ruble, everyone lost money, but you made money. This is very conspicuous. I don't think this is something a small person can do. At least it is much better than the bunch of useless people under me."
"And I asked someone to check your account. You chose the right time to enter and exit the market. Even your judgment of the Maozi was accurate. Even I couldn't see through their true intentions. How did you know in advance?"
Although Lu Yiming knew that people in the financial industry often have flexible moral standards, he still couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, Standard Chartered Bank is such a scumbag bank. What happened to the confidentiality it promised to keep for its customers? Can people still have a little bit of integrity among each other?"
This sentence is equivalent to telling Soros directly, I know where your information comes from.
Lu Yiming sighed but didn't take it to heart. He already knew that if the character of the foreigners in the financial industry was reliable, even a sow could climb a tree.
As for Soros' question, Lu Yiming replied with a smile: "Is there anything wrong with me not doubting a country that has never kept its word in history? In fact, I will win only because I know how to restrain my greed ."
After that, Lu Yiming poured Soros a cup of black tea and said in Chinese: "During the Song Dynasty in our country, a monk once said that you can't use up all your power, otherwise you will suffer misfortune, and you can't enjoy all your blessings, otherwise you will be alone. Although I don't believe in Buddhism, I think there is some truth in this saying. What do you think?"
Soros asked, “What are you talking about?”
Lu Yiming had no choice but to repeat it in English.
After a long while, Soros finally understood what this sentence meant. He then took a sip of black tea, sighed, and said with regret: "The long time and history have enabled Xiaguo to have a profound cultural and philosophical heritage. Your civilization was once glorious and brilliant in history, illuminating the entire world. In comparison, although the United States is great, its time is still too short after all."
When one reaches Soros' level, his vision, knowledge and mentality are naturally different from those of ordinary white people. He knows very well that temporary strength does not mean eternity.
Throughout history, countless civilizations and countries that once dominated a region have, in the end, vanished into thin air, leaving only ruins to prove to future generations that they once existed.
But Chinese civilization is the only exception.
In this financial war, Xia was the only country in the world that stood firm, withstanding wave after wave of attacks and resisting all impacts.
Whether from the process or the results, Xia Guo's every move showed extraordinary wisdom and decisiveness, strong execution and concentration, which even frightened Soros.
He said frankly, "I heard your story from others. I have to say that Xia Country is able to cultivate such an outstanding young man as you. Xia Country will definitely become a major threat to the United States in the future."
"In this financial war, you made at least $200 million from the betting contracts. It's a waste for a talent like you to stay in Xia Country. You should come to the United States and join us. Only in this way can you display your talents."
After listening to this, Lu Yiming smiled and teased: "Can I think that you are trying to recruit me?"
Soros did not deny it: "You can think so."
When he said this, the appreciation and admiration in his eyes were from the heart and sincere.
However, Lu Yiming had already made up his mind. He shook his head slightly and asked, "Buffett once said that you should never short your own country. I think he makes a lot of sense. What do you think?"
Soros frowned and retorted: "That's because America was on the rise at the time, so Buffett made that judgment."
Lu Yiming smiled even more: "In the next twenty years, Xia Country will also be on the rise . This is my judgment."
Seeing Lu Yiming's determined eyes and calm face, Soros knew that his recruitment might not work. He took a deep breath and then said with great regret: "You know what? If I had a gun in my hand right now, I really want to give you a bullet right here."
Lu Yiming said with emotion: "This is why I won't go to your place. You can do anything for money. If a bullet flies towards my head one day, I won't be surprised at all."
After saying this, Lu Yiming drank the tea in the cup, then stood up suddenly: "After this defeat, your era is over, and I will become a new legend."
However, Soros, who is already in his seventies, still insists on his own opinion: "My era is not over yet, and you can't win every time."
Lu Yiming didn't argue and turned away.
"Then let us wait and see."
