Chapter 179 Welcome to the World of Capital
After returning home, Lin Shuyi thought about the conversation she had with Lu Yiming tonight and felt quite emotional. After taking a hot bath to relax herself, she still couldn't sleep, so she put on her bathrobe, took out a bottle of top-quality Bordeaux red wine from the wine cabinet, opened the lid, and took out a crystal goblet and put in a piece of transparent ice wrapped in tin foil.
Then she turned on her computer and started searching for some news.
Soon, she found the recent news in Hong Kong and learned about a series of operations by Future Capital.
Then, she couldn't help but gasp.
This Lu Yiming seemed to be even more powerful than she had imagined!
After drinking a few sips of red wine, Lin Shuyi felt a little hungry and planned to go to the kitchen to get something to eat.
Lin Yuantao heard the noise and came out of the bedroom. Seeing Lin Shuyi, he asked in surprise, "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Lin Shuyi hugged the pillow tightly in her arms and said softly, "I can't sleep."
As the saying goes, no one knows a daughter better than her father. Lin Yuantao smelled the alcohol coming from Lin Shuyi and immediately felt something. He asked, "Are you worried about something?"
Lin Shuyi nodded slightly.
Lin Yuantao smiled and said, "Then go get the wine. I haven't drunk for a long time. Let's have a drink tonight, father and daughter."
Lin Shuyi took out the wine and poured a glass for Lin Yuantao. Then she told him about meeting Lu Yiming tonight and deciding to invest money in Lu Yiming's operation. Then she asked, "Dad, do you think I'm doing the right thing?"
Lin Yuantao smiled and said, "Do you think we shouldn't use Lu Yiming as a shield to reject Wu Changsheng?"
Lin Shuyi nodded slightly and said, "At least, I shouldn't deliberately provoke a fight between him and Wu Changsheng, but..."
Lin Yuantao smiled slightly and said, "But you still made the most favorable choice for Jingwan Group. You know in your heart that directly conflicting with the forces behind Wu Changsheng will be detrimental to the development of our Jingwan Group."
If a real estate company wants to develop, it must first borrow money from a bank and second participate in land auctions.
Either way, it is a test of one's own network of contacts.
Wu Changsheng took the initiative to approach Lin Shuyi to ask for cooperation. Lin Shuyi couldn't refuse, so she could only use Lu Yiming as a shield.
Seeing her inner thoughts being revealed so bluntly by her father, Lin Shuyi looked dejected. She let the sour red wine spread on her taste buds, just like her mood at the moment.
Seeing his daughter like this, Lin Yuantao sighed and said, "When I was young, I had the same idea as you, but there is an old saying that kindness cannot command the army, and righteousness cannot command wealth. In business matters, you must not let your emotions get in the way. Lu Yiming is a rare dragon and phoenix in the world. Do you think he knows nothing about you using him?"
Lin Shuyi rested her chin on her knees: "I think he probably guessed something."
Lin Yuantao smiled and asked, "Is he angry? Is he irreconcilable with you?"
Lin Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's not the case."
Lin Yuantao touched Lin Shuyi's head and said lovingly, "Isn't this the adult world? You use me, I use you, and it's mutually beneficial. It's more solid than any other friendship. You are still not tempered enough. If you want to truly take charge of Jingwan Group, you still need to continue to work hard."
Lin Shuyi's eyes lit up, as if she suddenly understood something. She said, "He said something similar to what you said, saying that everyone in the world is busy for profit, and everyone in the world is busy for profit."
Lin Yuantao said: "Yes, you see, he lives more clearly than you do."
He sighed and said, "This kid is so young, but his mind and methods are so mature and sophisticated. I can't imagine how much he will achieve in the future."
He couldn't help but fantasize, "It's a pity that you are much older than him, otherwise, even if I have to sacrifice my reputation, I will help you find a good son-in-law. If he is watching over us, my Lin family will definitely prosper for a hundred years."
Lin Shuyi pouted in dissatisfaction: "How am I old? I'm only 26!"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly felt as if something was wrong, and her cheeks suddenly turned red.
Lin Yuantao also reacted, laughed, and said: "My daughter is ambitious, dad supports you."
Lin Shuyi said coquettishly: "Humph, Dad, you are making fun of me. I won't eat anymore, I want to lose weight and go to bed."
On the other side, after Lu Yiming returned home, he called Li Yiwen and told him about his meeting with Lin Shuyi tonight.
Li Yiwen was anxious when he heard this: "Think about it, this Lin Shuyi is clearly using you. Wu Changsheng was able to raise 100 million yuan to establish a fund company in China. How could his background be ordinary? If you offend such a person, the consequences are unpredictable."
Lu Yiming's tone was indeed quite relaxed: "I know."
Li Yiwen snorted and said unhappily, "You knew it, but you still fell for it?"
Lu Yiming was very calm and analyzed to Li Yiwen, "Lin Shuyi wants to use me, so why don't I want to use her? As for offending Wu Changsheng, we must know that competitors are like enemies, and there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If capital wants to return to China for development in the future, it is only a matter of time before we become rivals."
The first batch of domestic fund companies have been established since March 1998. Just looking at the names of their shareholders, you can tell how strong the backgrounds of these fund companies are and how extensive their networks are.
In the future, capital will return to the country to invest in emerging industries, and there will be only so many high-quality projects. How can there not be conflicts with these local bullies?
Lu Yiming could more or less guess what Lin Shuyi was thinking. Since he had offended Wu Changsheng, he could only cling to the Lin family, which was in the interests of the Lin family.
But Lu Yiming also had his own plans in mind. If capital wanted to return to China for development in the future, he had to find a backer, even if it was only temporary.
Since the Lin family has come forward, it would be a waste to use it.
Li Yiwen was a little troubled by Lu Yiming's style of doing things.
He was a little unsure: "Is it reliable for you to do this?"
Lu Yiming raised his lips and smiled proudly: "Lin Shuyi invested so much money in me. Even if it was just for her own benefit, she had to protect Future Capital. Oh, by the way, she promised me that she would invest 1.12 billion and hand it over to Future Capital for operation. When the time comes, you can ask President Wei to contact her."
Li Yiwen's eyes widened. "Wow, this is even a whole number. You rich people are calculating all the time. Can there be any sincerity and trust between people?"
Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Welcome to the world of capital. Don't forget, you are also a rich man now."
Li Yiwen smiled bitterly: "It seems that I haven't adapted yet."
Lu Yiming changed the subject and mentioned another matter: "For the investment in the mainland, I was originally planning to remit some money in. Now that I have the funds from the Lin family to use, it saves me a lot of trouble."
Although he was being used, Lu Yiming was not angry at all.
In this world, only worthless people will not be exploited by others, and the reason why he was willing to help Lin Shuyi "block" the trouble of Wu Changsheng was not simple.
Jianlai Technology needs to develop, and a large amount of funds will have to be invested in the early stages. In Lu Yiming's opinion, the short-term return rate of this investment is actually a bit low. Now that he can get money from the Lin family to fill the hole, he is very happy.
Just when I was about to doze off, someone brought me a pillow.
Li Yiwen then asked, "Then you don't plan to transfer the money we have in Hong Kong back to China for the time being?"
Lu Yiming had naturally made plans for this: "It's hard to make money in China these days. If you want to get rich quickly, you still have to cut the leeks of foreigners."
Li Yiwen was a little confused: "Is it easier to make money from foreigners?"
