Chapter 221: Fair! Still fair!
Facing Qian Hongli's question, Lu Yiming smiled calmly: "I definitely didn't have it before, but I have it now."
There is no doubt that now that Jingwan Group has become a shareholder of Jianlai Technology, Jianlai Technology naturally has the connections and resources of Jingwan Group.
Considering the size of Jingwan Group, it is very easy to get a spot to move in.
After all, human civilization is, to put it bluntly, a society based on personal relationships.
The rule of law society that has been called for for decades is essentially just a slogan.
The fact has always been: it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the court.
The most valuable thing in the industrial park is the land there. Countless people in the city are drooling over this piece of fat meat.
If the normal process is followed, it would take at least two to three years for Jianlai Technology to meet the occupancy standards.
But after two or three years, where will there be a place waiting for you?
Lu Yiming knew better than Lao Qian how much these plots of land would be worth in the future, so he called Lin Shuyi without saying anything and asked her to find a way to help him get the land to build a factory.
"Good boy, you guys are so awesome, you really have people and money."
Qian Hongli was of course very clear about what Lu Yiming meant, and he also deeply felt the importance of building a network of relationships. At this moment, he was filled with only surging blood and a strong fighting spirit: "Boss Lu, don't worry, I will definitely spend the three hundred million as soon as possible, and I guarantee that it will be worth it."
If you want to make money, you must know how to spend money and be brave enough to spend money.
Paper money kept in the bank will only depreciate, but if it is invested and turned into real industry, it is equivalent to raising a cash cow and obtaining continuous and long-term returns.
Of course, if you are simply rich, you will just be a fat sheep in the eyes of others.
Only by investing, controlling the industry, and controlling the livelihoods of thousands of employees can you enjoy the social status you deserve.
Through this incident, Lu Yiming understood this more deeply.
If Jianlai Technology were a large company with a scale of tens of billions, would anyone dare to blatantly owe money and not pay it back?
To put it bluntly, it's because you're not important enough that you're being stepped on by others.
Only when you grow to a certain level, will the cost of touching you be high enough to make some people hesitate.
Lu Yiming looked at Qian Hongli with disdain: "Look at you, it's just an investment of 300 million, but you're treating it like 3 trillion. In my opinion, what can you do with 300 million? Build a factory, recruit workers, set up a laboratory and a scientific research team. If you count all these, it will cost you more than double."
Qian Hongli was stunned.
A few minutes ago, he was still studying how to spend the 300 million yuan. Unexpectedly, Lu Yiming said in a few words that now even double the 300 million yuan would not be enough.
Which link went wrong?
Qian Hongli was quite helpless about this: "Okay, but what should we do if we have no money? We can't continue to attract investment, right? If we continue like this, our own shares will be diluted unreasonably."
Lu Yi knew clearly that Qian Hongli was reluctant to give up the shares in his hands. After all, Jianlai Technology had a promising future. If he gave up a few more shares today, he might lose hundreds of millions in the future. Anyone would feel sad.
Lu Yiming had already prepared for this matter, and immediately suggested: "Why dilute the shares? Once you get the quota and occupy a spot in the industrial park, you can use the land in the industrial park to get a mortgage loan from the bank. Where in the world is there the most money? In the bank."
Qian Hongli frowned slightly, obviously feeling that he couldn't keep up with Lu Yiming's ideas: "Borrowing money from the bank? Isn't this too risky? This makes me a little panicked."
"Panic?"
Lu Yiming laughed: "If you owe the bank tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, you will definitely be the one who is panicking. However, if you owe the bank hundreds of millions or billions, then the bank should be the one who is panicking."
Billions of bad debts are no joke.
Qian Hongli thought about it carefully and nodded immediately: "It seems to be the case."
Lu Yiming went on to say, "Besides, we won't spend the money we borrowed from the bank recklessly. The money will be used to expand production and create more jobs. It will be beneficial to the development of Jianlai Technology and contribute to the economy of Baiyun City. When the time comes, we can apply for policy support with more confidence."
Qian Hongli used to do small business and run a small store, so he didn't know the ins and outs of this.
He had no idea that any manufacturing company that could provide a large number of jobs would be able to obtain government support, whether it was acquiring land at a low price, various tax incentives, or even personal connections.
The bigger the scale, the greater the benefits.
After Lu Yiming's guidance, Qian Hongli quickly understood and realized: "You mean, we should create a snowball effect and do everything we can to expand the scale first?"
Lu Yiming nodded slightly: "You can understand it this way."
Then he stood up, raised his hand and patted Qian Hongli on the shoulder, and said in a condescending manner: "Okay, Jianlai Technology's funding problem has been solved, and the subsequent ideas have been figured out. The next operations are all handed over to you."
Qian Hongli asked, "Leave it all to me? What about you? What are you going to do?"
Lu Yiming stretched himself and said, "Me? Of course I'm going to study. Brother, I'm already a senior in high school. Next year, I'll have to face a huge challenge. If I don't study hard, will you support me?"
Qian Hongli: “…”
Good man, if you want to be a hands-off boss, just say it directly.
When he returned to school, Lu Yiming met Shi Qingxue, who was playing shuttlecock with several female classmates beside the flower bed in front of the teaching building.
Shi Qingxue seemed to become more lively and cheerful than before, which made Lu Yiming in a good mood.
In fact, Shi Qingxue herself is an extrovert, which can be seen from her performance when she is alone with Lu Yiming. It seems that because of family reasons, she has gradually become withdrawn and more and more taciturn.
However, during this period of time together, Lu Yiming has already untied some of Shi Qingxue's heart knots, and hopes that as the two of them get along better, they can unlock more.
After dancing for a while, Shi Qingxue was sweating profusely, a strand of black hair was pressed against her ear, and her white shirt was soaked and showed a slight flesh color. She stopped, panting and said, "I don't want to dance anymore. I have to rest for a while before class."
Turning around, Shi Qingxue saw Lu Yiming looking at her not far away. She suddenly felt that she looked a little embarrassed and quickly reached out to smooth her hair.
Lu Yiming took out a tissue from his pocket, walked up to him and said softly, "Wipe your sweat off. Proper exercise can help you sweat and detoxify. It's good for your body. You should exercise more in the future and don't stay in the classroom all day."
Feeling Lu Yiming's concern, Shi Qingxue was very happy. She took the tissue and wiped her sweat while asking, "I heard from the monitor that you ran away after winning the championship. Later, you didn't even attend a meeting about going to Hong Kong for exchange and study. What? You're not happy after winning the award?"
Lu Yiming had no interest in this matter, so he told him the whole story: "What kind of competition is this? It's just a game between people with connections. It looks glamorous, but it's actually disgusting. All the so-called high-end activities and competitions are nothing more than a show for the rich and powerful children. I don't want to waste my time."
Shi Qingxue had never come across such things before. What Lu Yiming said completely overturned her worldview and made her extremely surprised: "How can such a thing exist?"
In her opinion, the competition should be sacred and pure. How could there be any dirty off-field transactions?
Although what Lu Yiming said made sense, Shi Qingxue felt that this kind of thinking was too depressing, so she said, "You can't generalize. Even if you are going to gild yourself, you have to have the most basic abilities to participate in the competition, right? For example, if you participate in a singing competition, how can you win a place if you are tone-deaf?"
"None of this matters. Didn't I just say that? A competition is just a name. What you do with the competition is the key. For example, if you want to give a painting to a big shot, but giving it directly is definitely against the law, then you can hold a painting competition and ask one of your relatives to participate. Then you can buy an original painting by a famous artist and say it is a copy of your relative's entry, and then give it to him. When the time comes, your relative will be eliminated, but the entry will remain. Only God and the earth will know about it, and you and I will know about it."
“Isn’t this too outrageous?”
Lu Yiming sighed, "There are so many outrageous things. In the future, there will be such operations as primary school students studying cancer cells and winning awards. Why do those rich and powerful people send their children to competitions? Do you really think that those children with a good life have strong learning abilities? It's nothing more than gilding and gaining a reputation. Think about it, you have no worries about food and clothing in your life, so why are you still struggling? Isn't this just making things difficult for yourself? Isn't it better to eat, drink and have fun?"
Shi Qingxue thought about it and felt that this was true.
Only the poor need to struggle. The top rich second generation don't need to struggle at all. They can easily get things that ordinary people can't get even if they work themselves to death.
The only fairness in the world is death, and ever since humans have had civilization, people have naturally been divided into different classes.
As early as 1.7 million years ago, division of labor emerged in human society, and whoever controlled the means of production had the final say.
Over the past one million years, although its form has changed in many ways, its essence has never changed.
"In fact, let me tell you, not to mention the distant past, just this English competition, if I hadn't turned the tide, the championship would have been booked by someone else long ago."
Lu Yiming told Shi Qingxue about his encounter with Ge Deqiu.
When Shi Qingxue heard that Ge Deqiu actually did such a thing, an expression of disgust immediately appeared on her face: "I didn't expect him to be such a person. He looks decent, but in fact he is so cunning and insidious."
When Godqiu was pursuing her before, she just didn't like Godqiu's fake smile. The machismo radiating from inside out and from top to bottom was hard for her to accept.
After Lu Yiming said this today , Shi Qingxue realized that Ge Deqiu was even worse than she had imagined.
She found it difficult to understand what Lu Yiming had just said. After all, although she did not participate in the competition, she saw that many students in the school were actively participating in it with great enthusiasm.
Shi Qingxue couldn't help but sigh: "If other students knew about this, I wonder what they would think."
Lu Yiming was not as sentimental as her: "It's better to think positively about this kind of thing. Ordinary people go to participate in the competition just to serve as a foil. The process is boring and unremarkable. If the class teacher hadn't conscripted me this time, I wouldn't have bothered to go."
Shi Qingxue asked, "What about going to Hong Kong as an exchange student? Are you going?"
She felt that since Lu Yiming had seen through all of this and was not as curious about Hong Kong as other students, he probably would not go.
But Lu Yiming said, "Go, why not?"
However, Lu Yiming went to Hong Kong this time not for any exchange or learning, but to visit the headquarters of Future Capital to check out the situation and then call Li Yiwen who was far away in the United States to see the progress of his cousin's investment work on the other side of the ocean.
Hearing that Lu Yiming was leaving again, and that he would be gone for seven days, Shi Qingxue seemed very unhappy: "If you go, then won't we be able to see each other for a week?"
Lu Yiming could feel Shi Qingxue’s low mood. It felt so good to have someone care about you.
"Don't worry, it's only a week. I'll be back soon. I'll bring you a gift then."
Shi Qingxue curled her lips, thinking of the watch Lu Yiming wore last time: "I'm warning you, don't spend money recklessly."
She remembered clearly that Lu Yiming said he would marry her when he made enough money. Although she said he disliked it, she was very happy in her heart.
Lu Yiming laughed loudly, and then, with lightning speed, he kissed Shi Qingxue lightly on the cheek while she was not paying attention: "Don't worry, I will keep my word."
"ah……"
Shi Qingxue was frightened by Lu Yiming's action: "Are you going to die? What if someone sees us?"
After saying this, he looked around with a guilty conscience. Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise if he was reported to the teacher, he would have been charged with "premature love".
Lu Yiming said nonchalantly: "If they saw it, then they saw it. What can they do to me?"
The two walked hand in hand in the corner of the campus, letting the afternoon sun shine on their shoulders.
Only when he is with Shi Qingxue can Lu Yiming put aside worldly worries and enjoy this moment of tranquility.
If possible, he hopes time can stay at this moment forever.
But Lu Yiming knew in his heart that if he wanted to control his own destiny, he could not stop moving forward. People can enjoy a comfortable life, but they cannot indulge in it.
After shaving Shi Qingxue's straight and beautiful nose, Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Be good and wait for me to come back."
Shi Qingxue pouted: "I know, but don't leave for too long."
The girl's heart was filled with attachment, and she held Lu Yiming's hand for a long time, unwilling to let go.
For Shi Qingxue, she doesn’t care whether her lover is poor or rich, as long as she likes him/her, that’s enough.
But as long as Lu Yiming wanted to do something, she would silently support him behind the scenes without crying or making a fuss, and act as a good wife.
