Chapter 232 I'm not pretending anymore. I'm going to show my cards.
"Meng Xiujie, it turns out that you are Li Zhengkai's cousin."
After saying this, Lu Yiming couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This teasing made Meng Xiujie look confused, embarrassed and frightened, and he broke out in a cold sweat. His nephew asked him to come over to show off, but he ended up meeting his boss. Where the hell could he go to seek justice?
Li Zhengkai heard the conversation between the two and saw his cousin's attitude of a mouse meeting a cat. He was immediately shocked: "Do you know each other?"
Meng Xiujie looked at his silly nephew with some depression. He was a smart man and had been through it all. He only took a glance at the three girls around Li Zhengkai and Lu Yiming, and he understood the cause and effect of the matter.
After all, he is my cousin's only son, and they are all relatives. Meng Xiujie had to kindly remind Li Zhengkai, "Akai, don't be so rude. Mr. Lu is my boss and the founder of the Future Fund."
"ah?"
Li Zhengkai's mind suddenly buzzed when he heard this, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. Then he looked Lu Yiming up and down, muttering, "He is obviously my classmate."
What kind of experience is it that your classmate is your cousin's immediate superior?
Although Wu Qiuya knew the news from the newspaper, she still felt shocked when she heard it with her own ears.
Lin Yuzhen frowned slightly and pouted unhappily: "Lu Yiming, you, when did you bring your company to Hong Kong?"
She knew that Lu Yiming was rich, but she always thought that Lu Yiming's money was just the US$300,000 he got from Microsoft.
Lu Jiajia also looked at Lu Yiming with burning eyes.
Lu Yiming patted Li Zhengkai on the shoulder and said earnestly: "I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but all I got was alienation. I won't pretend anymore. I'm going to show my cards. I'm a billionaire."
Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Lu Yiming.
Billionaire!
Alive!
Right beside you!
This feeling is so wonderful that it is hard to describe.
Lin Yuzhen pouted, still a little bit incredulous: "Is three hundred thousand US dollars so valuable? You run an Internet cafe and a company. How many other big things have you done that I don't know about?"
Lu Yiming smiled and tapped Lin Yuzhen's smooth forehead, and said with a smile: "Three hundred thousand US dollars is so old news from many years ago. Can't I do some other small business?"
Lu Jiajia looked curious: "Lu Yiming, how big is one hundred million yuan put together?"
Lu Yiming did some calculations in his head before answering, "One hundred million in cash piled together would be 1.19 cubic meters, and weigh about 1.15 tons."
After hearing this, Wu Qiuya's beautiful eyes suddenly rippled, and the look she gave Lu Yiming became even more "hungry". Just imagining these two data in her mind made her more determined to win over Lu Yiming, the rich son-in-law.
How many men can she meet in her lifetime whose personal assets are measured in tons of cash alone?
It was so hard to find someone who was within her reach, so Wu Qiuya was determined to hold on to him no matter what.
Although his identity was exposed, Lu Yiming didn't care too much. He called Meng Xiujie aside and asked about the company's recent situation: "Since you are here, you can tell me how the company is doing recently? Is there any problem?"
Meng Xiujie replied respectfully: " Please rest assured, Mr. Lu, we have successfully achieved our goals for the several investments you requested. I'm afraid the only one that didn't go smoothly was Google."
Before leaving Hong Kong, Lu Yiming instructed Meng Xiujie and others to purchase stocks of some companies, all of which were enterprises and companies that he was optimistic about.
Stocks of companies like Amazon and Apple are all potential stocks worth holding for the long term, so Lu Yiming would arrange people to keep an eye on them for a long time and buy as many as they can.
But Google is different, because it is not a listed company yet. If you want to become a shareholder of Google, you can only buy shares from other original shareholders.
But the rich people in the United States are not fools. Many investors have already seen the future potential of Google, so the acquisition plan was quite unsuccessful - no one was willing to sell.
In fact, this is normal. No one will sell a lottery ticket now if they have a prize that can be redeemed in the future and the winning amount is unlimited. As investors, they are not short of this kind of money and are more willing to take a little risk and bet on a brilliant future.
After listening to Meng Xiujie's report, Lu Yiming said nothing and fell into deep thought.
Although Lu Yiming is young, when standing next to him, Meng Xiujie feels like serving a king like serving a tiger.
After all, a man's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Lu Yiming is the man who defeated Soros head-on and swept through the financial market like a whirlwind. He started from scratch at the age of seventeen and in just a few months, he crossed the threshold of the billionaire club and became one of the top richest people.
What is a genius?
This is genius!
"Put aside the Google issue for now. I will take care of it myself."
Lu Yiming sighed in his heart. His wish to be a hands-off boss was shattered, but he knew that this was not the fault of Meng Xiujie and others. After all, their abilities and vision were still limited by the current era.
Knowing that everything was fine in the company and that they had done their job well, Lu Yiming gave them a few words of encouragement.
Then he looked at Meng Xiujie solemnly: "The company will not treat meritorious officials unfairly. Ajie, among the new employees in the company, I am most optimistic about you. When the company expands, I will follow the example of Wall Street to establish a partnership system, and I will reserve this position for you. Don't let me down, understand?"
Meng Xiujie was so grateful to be valued by his boss that he immediately said, "Don't worry, boss. I belong to you in life and I belong to you in death. If you tell me to go west, I will never go east. If you tell me to chase dogs, I will never catch chickens!"
He is now just an employee of the company, receiving salary and bonuses, and the bulk of it is taken away by Lu Yiming.
But once he becomes a partner of the company, he is no longer an ordinary employee, but a shareholder of the company and can receive dividends in proportion to !
In business, does the boss earn more or the employees?
Even a fool knows the answer!
Lu Yiming looked at Meng Xiujie, who was so excited that he wanted to die for him right now, and he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
It turns out that the trick of drawing cakes and making promises has failed.
When employees are more motivated, work efficiency will increase, the boss can earn more, and everyone will have a bright future.
This is called a win-win situation.
Lin Yuzhen looked at Lu Yiming and felt that he was hiding a lot of things from her, which made her feel unhappy. She pouted and asked, "Huh, didn't you say you were a programmer? How come you suddenly opened a fund company?"
Lu Yiming smiled and asked back: "Do you know how to manage your finances?"
Lin Yuzhen glared at Lu Yiming in dissatisfaction. She always felt that he looked at everyone as if they were fools. She immediately said unconvincedly, "Of course I know. Isn't it just money making money? My uncle has bought a lot of financial products from banks. He often says weird things like if you don't manage your finances, your finances won't manage you."
Lu Yiming laughed after hearing this: "Look, I made money. If I put it in the bank to earn interest, it wouldn't even beat inflation, and the returns from financial products are not that good either. After all, people who sell financial products also want to make money. In this case, why don't I buy a fund company and manage my own finances? There will be no middlemen making a profit, isn't it wonderful?"
“Ah… this…”
Lin Yuzhen's mind was completely confused by what Lu Yiming said. She always felt that what he said sounded a bit weird.
Others manage their finances by buying financial products from fund companies. What is the operation of directly buying the fund company?
Of course, this is not the point. Lin Yuzhen asked with great interest: "Is it profitable to open a fund company?"
Lu Yiming calculated it in his mind, and then showed a bored expression: "It's okay, I only made less than 10 million last month, which is not enough to pay the interest."
"Huh? Ten million!"
Lin Yuzhen couldn't help but scream, her mouth pouted even higher, and her bright eyes were full of complaints: "You make 10 million a month, and you actually complain that it's not enough? This is obviously a lot, okay!"
This is ten million, enough to buy 1,250 tons of pork, which is enough to feed all the teachers and students of No. 1 Middle School for more than three years!
Lu Yiming disagreed: "Didn't I just say that? This amount of money is not even enough to pay the interest. Do you know what a private equity fund is? I am borrowing other people's money to do business. The interest rate is very high, okay? If I don't make money, what's the point of doing business? I am doing business, not charity."
"Hey, you still have to pay interest to others? How high is very high?"
After hearing what Lu Yiming said, Lin Yuzhen's eyes turned and she started to make her own plans.
Lu Yiming casually replied, "It's about three or four stories high, with an annual interest rate of 10%, principal guaranteed and interest paid. Except for those who engage in fraud and illegal fund-raising, I guess no one on earth can offer a higher interest rate than me."
As a math expert, Lin Yuzhen was very sensitive to money, so she knew what a 10% annual interest rate meant. She immediately approached Lu Yiming with a smile and called out in a coquettish voice, "Lu Yiming~"
Lu Yiming couldn't help but shudder all over, took two steps back, and looked at Lin Yuzhen with a sidelong look, his face full of vigilance and disgust: "Stop! Stop! What do you want to do now?"
Lin Yuzhen continued to move forward with a smile: "I also want to buy this financial product of yours."
The annual interest rate is 10%. If you deposit 100 yuan, you will get 10 yuan a year! A small bag of ice packs costs only 10 cents. Wouldn’t that be enough money for ice packs for the whole summer?
If you save 200, you can change this ice pack into a gourd-shaped one with orange juice flavor!
Thinking of this, Lin Yuzhen couldn't help licking her lips.
Lu Yiming knew what was going on in Lin Yuzhen's little head. He folded his arms and raised his eyebrows at Lin Yuzhen: "Do you want to buy it?"
Lin Yuzhen nodded rapidly.
Lu Yiming coughed lightly, then pretended to be embarrassed and said: "In principle, we don't accept orders below 100,000."
"How much? One hundred thousand?"
Lin Yuzhen screamed again: "If I had 100,000 yuan, would I still buy this crappy financial product of yours?"
Then, her face changed, and she grabbed Lu Yiming's arm and started to act like a spoiled brat: "We are classmates after all, let's be flexible. I'll use all my savings to support you."
Lin Yuzhen usually has a carefree personality and acts like a big sister. Seeing her act like a spoiled brat today is simply a way of saying "my life is worth it". Lu Yiming was a little dizzy because of her and quickly said, "Okay, okay, then tell me how much money you have."
Lin Yuzhen proudly held up two fingers.
Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows: "Twenty thousand? I didn't realize you were a wealthy woman."
In the 1990s, a middle school student with 20,000 yuan in cash could definitely be considered part of the wealthy class.
Lin Yuzhen was so angry that she clenched her fists and said, "Do you think I'm as rich as you? It's two thousand! Two thousand! I saved this money by working secretly before. You must not let me lose it all."
Lu Yiming immediately looked disgusted: "What the hell are you doing with two thousand yuan? You might as well add an extra chicken drumstick to every meal."
"You... you feel uncomfortable if you don't argue with me, right? I'll beat you up!"
Seeing Lu Yiming and Lin Yuzhen laughing and playing, Meng Xiujie said with envy: "It's good to be young. Why didn't I meet such a cute girl when I was studying when I was young?"
All these changes happened so fast that Li Zhengkai still hasn't recovered. Hearing what Meng Xiujie said, he scratched his head and said, "No, I mean, cousin, I still don't understand. He is my classmate and you are my uncle. How did he become your boss?"
“Is this a conflict?”
“Isn’t this a conflict?”
"There is no conflict. He can be your classmate or my boss. The most important thing in life is to face reality."
After saying this, Meng Xiujie patted his nephew on the shoulder. He felt very sympathetic about Li Zhengkai's experience, but many times, life is just not as expected.
If you are poor, you have to accept your fate.
In front of the big boss Lu Yiming, Meng Xiujie dared not continue to slack off, and immediately pulled Li Zhengkai aside: "Okay, here are the car keys, give them to you. I also have several thousand dollars in cash, all of which I will give to you. I have to go back to the company to work, you serve Boss Lu well."
After finishing his instructions, Meng Xiujie went to say goodbye to Lu Yiming: "Boss Lu, I'm going back to the company first. I'll leave the car for you to drive, and I'll pick it up when the time comes. I hope you have a good time in Hong Kong."
Lu Yiming waved his hand: "Well, you go ahead and do your thing."
Seeing Lu Yiming and Lin Yuzhen "flirting" in front of everyone just now, Wu Qiuya felt uncomfortable and became more and more anxious.
She felt threatened by Lin Yuzhen.
"Student Lu Yiming, I am also very interested in your Future Fund product and would like to learn more about it. Why is your fund named Future? I see other fund names are Founder, Noah Mixed, and the like."
Lu Yiming didn't think much about it, thinking that Wu Qiuya was just curious, so he explained: "Because the purpose of my founding this company is to use this platform to invest in Internet and technological innovation companies. Now that the Internet has just emerged, technological innovation is also the driving force of social development. Investing in these is equivalent to investing in the future."
Wu Qiuya smiled and praised: "This concept is really good. Investing in the future is indeed a good choice. Do you think we can be regarded as great thinkers?"
Then Wu Qiuya changed the subject: "By the way, I can convince my family to give you 100,000 yuan to support your investment in the future. I hope your dream can come true one day."
