Chapter 277: Selfish Psychology
Shen Anna's answer still surprised Li Yuan.
It tasted a bit like the bowl of noodles that Jiang Yiling gave him.
"Then wait for Linlin to tell me in person. No one else can make the decision for her."
He knew from the beginning that it was Shen Tianfu calling, and deliberately made an excuse to let Shen Anna answer the call.
After all, Shu Yanlin couldn't handle Shen Tianfu's shamelessness, so he simply took over the matter.
Shen Tianfu can use whatever means he wants, he can handle it.
Shen Anna said 'hmm', and Li Yuan continued: "Your father will call the day after tomorrow, contact me then."
"Yeah, okay."
Li Yuan ate something and let Shen Anna go to bed.
He was thinking about what Shen Tianfu said.
There was no doubt that there was not much hope for Chen Qi, but he was still worried about letting Shen Tianfu take over the matter.
No matter how nicely he spoke, he couldn't escape the situation where he had no one to use.
He still has a lot of money in his hands . He had previously injected more than 30 billion US dollars into the Lotus Trust, and there are still more than 20 billion US dollars left to be spent.
Even the speed at which the more than 20 billion US dollars are spent is definitely not as fast as the speed at which they are earned.
Lianhua Trust has two main businesses, one is family fund investment, and the other is holding shares in companies under Li Yuan’s name.
It doesn't cost much.
The US dollar will soon become worthless as money is printed. Either spend it or find an opportunity to bury it in the stock market.
Investing in the stock market is rather troublesome because the amount of capital is too large.
Next year, the capacity of the fifth QDII foundation will be expanded to US$10 billion. He can at most put another US$10 billion into US stocks, bringing the total to US$20 billion, which is already the limit.
Otherwise, the car is too big and it will be inconvenient to turn around by the end of next year, and it will also be the focus of attention of big funds.
If he wants to take the profits quietly, he can't make it too big. The entire US stock market has elasticity, but not just tens of billions of dollars of elasticity can withstand it.
Especially when he only plans to invest in some super large-cap stocks, the target will be more obvious.
It was past three in the morning and I still had no clue.
In his heart, he was inclined to let Shen Tianfu take over. After all, mining would be the mainstream in the next few years and would also be a bridgehead to resist the massive printing of US dollars.
Taking lithium ore as an example, the price of lithium carbonate has increased from more than 40,000 yuan per ton to 470,000 yuan per ton.
Other minerals have also increased by two to three times.
He focuses on gold mines and lithium mines.
South American lithium mines produce 80,000 tons of lithium carbonate per year. If we can get 40,000 tons...
In fact, 40,000 tons is not a lot. Even if calculated according to the market price, it is only a few billion, a mere 200 million US dollars.
The global lithium mine production capacity has not yet been developed. His actions may expand the global lithium mine production capacity ahead of schedule, but the expansion will not be too much.
The main thing is still the mining rights. If he can get the mining rights, he can stockpile goods with confidence.
There is nothing more satisfying than stockpiling goods. Even if he doesn't sell them, he can digest them internally.
Mainly in Africa...
There is raw ore in Africa. Even if Chen Qi can get hundreds of thousands of tons of raw ore back and refine it himself...
The global annual production of lithium carbonate is now only 200,000 tons, of which 80,000 tons are in South America and the other 120,000 tons are in China.
In a few years, the global lithium carbonate production capacity will rapidly expand to 600,000 tons, of which nearly 400,000 tons will be in China.
Where does the domestic production capacity come from? Most of it is processed and refined from raw ore purchased from abroad. After all, the lithium content in several lithium salt lakes in China is not high and cannot make up for such a large gap.
There was a period of time when the world was short of lithium and the gap was particularly large.
Lithium carbonate is not a small industry. According to the highest data, the production capacity is 600,000 tons, the unit price is 470,000 yuan per ton, and the global annual output value is close to 300 billion yuan.
In fact, it will only be higher. If you acquire lithium mines at this position now, even if the price drops in the future, the price of lithium carbonate will be maintained at more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan per ton, so you will make money anyway.
He believed that Shen Tianfu could do this well, and that he was so ruthless that he would never starve to death anywhere.
It was almost four in the morning. He returned to the room and fell asleep with Shu Yanlin in his arms.
It’s just like hugging a big soft doll, and the sleep-aiding effect +1000000%.
When he woke up, it was already past noon and he found Shu Yanlin still lying next to him.
"Didn't you go out to play this morning?"
The scenery nearby is beautiful, and the observation deck in the morning is even more beautiful.
Shu Yanlin smiled and said, "No, I just kept looking at the senior, and then I became fascinated."
"Really? Actually, I was watching you last night, and I accidentally did something impulsive. Did you feel anything?"
"Is there?"
Shu Yanlin lay directly in Li Yuan's arms and continued, "Then it would be okay to have a baby, right?"
Li Yuan: “…”
Shu Yanlin can't even take care of herself. It's nonsense to expect her to give birth to a child.
At least we have to wait three to five years.
He was just joking, but Shu Yanlin didn't care at all?
"Aren't you afraid of delaying your studies?"
"Yeah... a little bit, but it doesn't matter if you like it."
"Then wait a little longer. We can have children after you graduate."
"But last night..."
"You really believe it? Think about it yourself, if you really were to get pregnant, would you not feel anything at all?"
Shu Yanlin is extremely sensitive.
"Well...I was too tired yesterday, so..."
Li Yuan looked at Shu Yanlin, who seemed a little unsure, and carried her directly to the balcony in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
The first thing I say when I wake up every day is to cheer up my bag...
Just the clouds outside the window, the gentle breeze, and the slight hum.
Fake tourism is a tourist attraction that is crowded with people.
The real purpose of traveling is to completely relax yourself.
"husband……"
"What did you call me?"
"Ah...senior..."
"When you fell asleep last night, you kept talking about your senior husband. It sounded so nice..."
…
Shu Yanlin has never dared to post on WeChat Moments, so she took a bunch of photos and could only enjoy them by herself.
It was Li Yuan who saw it and posted a few messages to her friends.
Including the photo of him holding Shu Yanlin on the terrace looking at the scenery. The photographer was Shen Anna.
For Shu Yanlin, the feeling of being recognized is more important than anything else.
In her eyes, the most beautiful scenery was Li Yuan sleeping next to her. After all, no matter how beautiful other scenery was, she couldn't stare at it for four or five hours.
She didn't know how many times she had kissed him secretly. If she wasn't afraid of waking Li Yuan up, she would have done something even more excessive.
After two days, she was completely satisfied with the sense of belonging.
She hoped it could go on like this, well...it would be understandable if it was almost there in the future, after all, Li Yuan had already done so much.
At two o'clock in the afternoon on the 3rd, Li Yuan and Shu Yanlin packed up together. After all, they had not gone out since they woke up at half past twelve.
Shen Anna prepared lunch, and after the three of them finished eating, they left the villa.
The three-day and two-night trip had come to an end. It was also the first time that Li Yuan spent such a long time accompanying someone...
The last time in the hospital doesn’t count.
He had to go to work in the evening, and it happened to be Saturday or Sunday, otherwise he wouldn't have the time.
When I got home, I found no one was home.
He called his mother and found out that the whole family was with Jiang Yuanqiao.
As for the gossip about him, his family has started to selectively filter it out. They would get angry if they read it, but there is no way to say anything to Li Yuan, so they simply seal their hearts and don't read anything.
Jiang Yiling has no objection, so what else can they say?
Li Yuan rushed to Jiang Yuanqiao's side, and except for Jiang Yiling, no one else gave him a good look.
The same was true for the child. After all, he was only two or three months old. He spent more time sleeping than awake every day and never opened his eyes to look at Li Yuan.
After dinner, Jiang Yiling called him into the room.
Jiang Yiling was the most confident when facing him, because from beginning to end, she didn't spend a penny of Li Yuan's money.
She also paid for the childbirth and rent from other sources.
"Honey, let me tell you something. When you hype up your relationship, don't post those intimate photos. It will make my parents uncomfortable."
The so-called intimate photos are those posted by Shu Yanlin on WeChat Moments.
It's normal for someone to steal those photos.
Li Yuan moved closer, stared into Jiang Yiling's eyes and asked, "What about you, my wife?"
Jiang Yiling said with some lack of confidence: "I don't care, as long as you are happy..."
Now that you know it, you won’t be indifferent.
In the past, shopping in shopping malls could be regarded as pure hype.
But now they are going on vacation together, can it still be hype?
She knew that Shu Yanlin had known Li Yuan earlier, and it was possible that she had been with Li Yuan even earlier than her.
It's just that he took an unconventional approach and snatched Li Yuan away first.
Even if she cared a little, she could only express it through other people. If she said it herself, she was afraid that Li Yuan would dislike her.
"You won't lie. You have to close your eyes every time you lie."
"I...actually...um..."
Before Jiang Yiling could finish her words, Li Yuan kissed her on the lips.
Li Yuan really likes the feeling of being with Jiang Yiling. She is completely different from others.
No matter how intense the emotions are, they will not be expressed immediately.
She slowly entered a state of being tipsy, and her whole body exuded a lazy temperament.
My body gradually relaxed, just like when the alcohol first hit me.
His eyes were narrowed, but there was no smell of alcohol, and his voice was accompanied by a light nasal sound.
After a while, she rested her head on Li Yuan's arm, as if she was sobering up.
She turned around and lay on Li Yuan again. The alcohol seemed to have been completely released and she opened her eyes.
"Oh, I'm not angry now."
Li Yuan had no chance to explain this matter, and it was best if Jiang Yiling didn't let him explain.
It's just that your waist will feel a little tired.
Anyway, I will be working for several days next time.
Either you take a break for yourself or you take a break for your waist, you have to do one of the two.
If he were twenty years older, there would be no way this matter could be settled.
He planned to invest more in Chen Jie so that Chen Jie could take good care of herself.
It was past eight o'clock before he left Jiang Yuanqiao's place. Before leaving, the little guy finally opened his eyes and let him hold him for a while.
When I arrived at the company, I took care of some things first and replied to a few messages in the middle.
For example, Shen Anna sent a message asking if she wanted to come over with her cell phone at around five in the morning.
Li Yuan agreed. After all, one day's delay would result in one day's loss of profit.
Since Chen Qi was destined not to eat the meat, he could only take the meat away and drink some soup considering his hard work.
After the market closed, Li Yuan met Shen Anna in the car downstairs of the company.
He took the phone from her and called Shen Tianfu.
This matter was not intended to trouble Shen Anna, the main thing was that he could not let Shen Tianfu contact him directly.
He must let Shen Tianfu find Chen Qi and talk to him through Chen Qi.
Otherwise, not only would Chen Qi not even be able to drink the soup, but there would be no one to help him keep an eye on Shen Tianfu.
The distance is so far, who knows what Shen Tianfu is doing?
It was impossible for him to check with Chen Qi every time after Shen Tianfu said something.
For example, Shen Tianfu said he wanted to build a mine and negotiated a project that would cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and he called me directly? How could I be sure whether this project was real or fake?
Let Chen Qi call over and he will naturally know about this.
The core things must be held in one's own hands to feel at ease. When the time comes, whatever Shen Tianfu wants to do must be approved by Chen Qi. In this way, there is almost no need to worry about Shen Tianfu hiding something from him.
Unless Chen Qi and Shen Tianfu are wearing the same pants.
It is impossible in the short term and unlikely in the long term.
He is the richest man, and even without taking his roommates’ feelings into consideration, it is obvious who he follows.
The call was connected instantly. Shen Tianfu had been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Li, thank you for giving me a chance. I promise to do this beautifully."
Shen Tianfu knew what this call meant. If Li Yuan was unwilling to cooperate, this call would not have come.
"Well, I'll call Chen Qi later. If Mr. Shen needs anything, just ask Chen Qi to cooperate. This matter is up to you."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Li for your trust. I promise that there will be results within half a month."
"Then I will wait for good news from Mr. Shen. You can ask Chen Qi about the specific goal."
The funds that can be absorbed by lithium mines are limited, so they must be combined with gold mines.
Copper and aluminum ores are also auxiliary resources, but they are not scarce and are not that important.
We won’t do these in the early stages, we’ll see how the situation develops in the second half of next year.
Shen Tianfu did not ask for Li Yuan's contact information again. He probably guessed Li Yuan's intention.
Li Yuan handed the phone to Shen Anna, who asked, "Do you want to go back to find Linlin? She woke up when I left."
"No, I have things to do when I get home."
"Well... then... thank you."
Shen Anna is free now.
"Don't thank me. No matter how much money your dad makes in the future, it has nothing to do with you."
"Um."
Shen Anna got off the car.
Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't move.
He deliberately asked Shen Anna to talk to Shu Yanlin about that matter, but obviously, she didn't say it now.
Not saying it means not being selfish to a certain extent.
Whenever she told Shu Yanlin that she wanted Shu Yanlin to give her to her, it meant that she was not satisfied with the status quo and was eager to put herself in the right position and enjoy what a "richest woman" should have.
This also means that she will not care about Shu Yanlin's thoughts at all, and will completely reveal her selfish mentality.
