Chapter 281: Rich Second Generation? Rich First Generation!
Everyone in this world likes money. Who would be against money if they are in their right mind? The continuous progress of earth civilization comes from the endless desires of human beings.
If I tell you I will give you one million now and one hundred million next week, what will you choose?
In addition, everyone felt a little unhappy when they were told that they would lose before the match even started.
So, when Su Yunjin thought it was worth a try, many people agreed.
Although Su Yunwei was the representative of the Su family, the public opinion was like this, and the shares in her hands were not enough to overturn everyone's decision, so she had no choice but to say: "Then let's give it a try."
After the meeting, Lu Yiming was kept by Su Yunwei again. She asked him seriously, "Why are you here again today? What do you want to do?"
Su Yunwei really couldn't figure out Lu Yiming's intention. Obviously, from common sense, it was unscientific to spend such a huge price to pursue a girl.
Lu Yiming explained casually: "I am now a shareholder of Shi Jin Ji, so it is understandable that I hope to make my shares more valuable through my abilities, right?"
Su Yunwei couldn't stand Lu Yiming's mature appearance, so she put on an angry face and said, "Don't think I don't know what you are up to! Your business plan accurately understands human nature, and the target users are very reasonable and accurate, so the chances of it becoming a hit are very high. You can do well by setting up your own company, so why bother to create Shijinji? Wouldn't you make more money that way? So what are you planning?"
Facing Su Yunwei's aggressiveness, Lu Yiming could only sigh: "I have said it before, everything I do is for Xiaoxue. I want to keep Xiaoxue by my side, and I don't want her to go abroad, so in order to achieve this goal, I can do anything, and you can't stop me."
Hearing Lu Yiming's words so decisively, Su Yun was stunned and looked at Lu Yiming as if he was a freak.
"Do you know that you are being very selfish? Studying abroad is the best choice for Xiaoxue. You can't delay her bright future just because of your own selfishness."
"Going abroad will lead to a bright future? I don't think so." Lu Yiming shook his head slightly, obviously disagreeing with this statement: "The only thing that is more advanced than China is science and technology. If Xiaoxue goes abroad to study in the field of scientific research and is determined to develop in the academic world, then I will definitely support her, but we all know her grades, and she is not cut out for scientific research. In that case, why waste her time?"
"What did you say?!"
Su Yunwei was immediately angry when she heard Lu Yiming say that she was blind: "How is the United States not better than China? In addition to advanced technology, the culture there is also extremely advanced..."
Lu Yiming said sarcastically, "Come on, you're talking to me about culture in a country founded by bandits? Ask the Indians if they agree."
Nowadays, in the eyes of many people in Xia Country, the moon is rounder abroad.
Being able to immigrate to Europe and the United States is something that many people dream of but cannot achieve, it is almost as great as having smoke coming out of one's ancestral grave.
Su Yunwei did not think she had done anything wrong. Instead, she said confidently, "What's the problem with this? Why don't you go abroad if you can? What's the point of staying in China?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Stay in the country with me. In ten years at most, I will become the richest man in the world, and then people all over the world will remember my name. I can give Xiaoxue everything she needs. There is no point in going abroad."
Su Yunwei sneered at this: "Don't be so arrogant. I've seen many young people like you who don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. You are the richest man in the world. You are so arrogant. Can you be more down-to-earth?"
He was clearly telling the truth, but others just didn't believe him. Lu Yiming could only wave his hand with a bleak look on his face: "I'm already very conservative. I wanted to say five years. Forget it, chatting with you is really boring. I'm leaving first. I have classes in the afternoon. Hey, senior year is really annoying. I have to make up for it on weekends."
Looking at Lu Yiming's back, Su Yunwei felt that there were too many mysteries about Lu Yiming, and she finally heard from Lu Yiming that Lu Yiming did all this for Shi Qingxue. This was a big deal, and Su Yunwei did not dare to neglect it, and quickly found Su Yunjin.
"As expected, everything Lu Yiming did was for Xiaoxue. He said it himself that he would not let Xiaoxue leave the country. We need to find someone to find out who this person is. He actually wants to marry Xiaoxue!"
If it was just a love relationship, Su Yunwei wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it. How many people marry their first love these days?
As long as nothing serious happens, it's okay to have some fun. But Lu Yiming actually went there with the idea of getting married, and he was very determined to do so. That was a big deal!
No matter what, the Su family is an old wealthy family that has risen to the third generation, and marriages are all about matching between the two families.
At first, Su Yunjin insisted on marrying Shi Caijiang because they were not a good match, so she was opposed by everyone. Now Lu Yiming wants to marry Shi Qingxue, which is a big deal for both families.
Although Shi Qingxue's surname is Shi, she is deeply loved by everyone in the Su family, and naturally they regard her as a member of the Su family.
If not for this, how could Su Yunwei care so much about Shi Qingxue's lifelong affairs.
Su Yunjin's attitude towards Lu Yiming has changed a little in her recent contacts with Lu Yiming. Moreover, she is a "mismatched" party and does not fully understand the seriousness of the matter. Moreover, Lu Yiming just presented her with a business plan that made her very satisfied. Of course, she has to speak for Lu Yiming at this time: "Well, it is necessary to check the background of this young man. After all, we don't know anything about his family. To be able to cultivate such a young talent, this Lu family must be extraordinary."
Su Yun glared and said unhappily, "Is this what I'm talking about?"
Su Yunjin smiled and said to her kindly, "It's too early to discuss this now. They can't get married before they graduate from college, right? Our top priority now is to verify his business plan. We can talk about other things later."
Su Yunwei thought that it was inappropriate to attack Lu Yiming just after he handed in his business plan. If Lu Yiming's plan became popular, he would inevitably be accused of being a waste of money. So she followed her sister's advice: "Okay, let's solve the problem of Shijinji first."
In October, the autumn heat is still raging.
Su Yunwei appeared on Xinjiangdong Road wearing frog-eye glasses and a belly-baring outfit.
It was almost dusk, but there was still a lot of traffic here.
She looked up at the building in front of her that was more than 30 stories high. The glass curtain wall reflected the sunlight, as if giving the entire building a layer of gold.
Marriott Hotel is a time-honored brand hotel in Baiyun. Its founder, Li Wanhao, is also a well-known local tycoon. He foresaw the economic rise of Xia State ten years ago and invested huge sums of money to build a high-end business hotel, which was considered a gamble at the time.
Fortunately, Li Wanhao won the bet, and the Marriott Hotel became one of the only few five-star hotels in Baiyun City. Its business was booming, and the Li family made a fortune.
In recent years, Marriott Group has also expanded aggressively, opening hotels in nearby large cities in the southeast coastal area, such as Pengcheng, Dongguan, Foshan and Zhuhai, and its growth momentum is extremely rapid.
Looking at the modern and avant-garde Marriott Hotel in front of her, Su Yunwei was quite touched.
Before returning home, she had heard that Xia's economy was on the rise and that the country was interested in developing in the country. But now that she had seen her homeland rise like the rising sun, she was still filled with emotion.
The reason why Su Yunwei appeared here today was to look for her childhood friend and college classmate Li Qingmei.
Li Qingmei is Li Wanhao's biological daughter.
Su Yunwei walked into the hotel, bought a bottle of coffee from the vending machine on the first floor, and then sat on the sofa in the corner and waited quietly.
After a while, Li Qingmei, who got the news, came out of the office, ran to Su Yunwei in small steps, and hugged Su Yunwei directly, her pretty face flushed with excitement: "Weiwei, you finally came to see me, I missed you so much."
Su Yunwei also hugged Li Qingmei, with a joyful smile of reunion on her face: "I miss you, too. We haven't seen each other for more than three years, right ?"
Li Qingmei took Su Yunwei's hand, sat on the sofa, and said, "That's right. After graduation, you stayed in Wall Street to develop your career, and my family called me back to China. Now that I think about it, it's been almost three years."
The two of them were studying for master's degrees together at Harvard Business School. They were in a foreign country, surrounded by foreigners of all skin colors. Naturally, the two girls had to stick together to face it, and thus they experienced many things together and became good friends who could talk about anything.
While Su Yunwei was working hard on Wall Street, she often talked to Li Qingmei on the phone, so she was familiar with her current situation. She smiled and teased, "You have passed the family test and started to take charge of part of the industry. You have even become the general manager. That's amazing. This is the most famous industry of your Li family. It seems that your father intends to train you as his heir."
"How is that possible? It's just an errand."
Although she said so, Li Qingmei couldn't hide the pride on her face. For a daughter to get such an important position was enough to show her excellence.
"You are too modest. I remember you have a younger brother."
"No, no, I feel like I'm still far behind you."
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Su Yunwei got down to business: "Is there any news about the young man I asked you to inquire about a few days ago?"
In ancient times, inns and taverns were places where rumors fermented, and all kinds of information were spread through such occasions. On the one hand, this shows that there were people coming and going here, and on the other hand, it also shows that people engaged in such businesses had complex social relationships and could find out a lot of information.
When it came to business, Li Qingmei put away her smile and said, "I have already found out the information you asked me to find out for you, but the guy you wanted to investigate is really too powerful."
Su Yun twitched her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Oh? How amazing is that?"
Li Qingmei is now a well-informed rich second-generation, and Su Yunwei was indeed surprised that she could make such an evaluation as "unbelievably amazing".
The person she asked Li Qingmei to help investigate was naturally Lu Yiming.
The Su family had long gone abroad to develop, so they were not so well-informed about news in the mainland. On the contrary, the X family, to which Li Qingmei belonged, had always been deeply rooted in the country and had extensive connections in all areas.
It is too easy for the Li family to investigate a person.
Seeing that Su Yunwei seemed a little unconvinced, Li Qingmei immediately said seriously: "What's the matter? Do you think I'm exaggerating? I tell you, you must not underestimate this young man named Lu Yiming!"
Su Yun smiled slightly and said, "Why? Isn't he a rich second-generation?"
With the current booming domestic economy, anyone who seizes a little opportunity can make a fortune, so there are now countless rich second-generations in the country.
But after all, the poor had just stood up and were in control of their own affairs, and there were very few educated people. As the saying goes, it is easy to build an empire but difficult to keep it. Even if they seized the opportunity to become rich, they would often decline quickly. This is why people in later generations said that wealth cannot last for more than three generations.
The reason why Su Yunwei did not take Lu Yiming seriously was because their Su family had already expanded and had seized the opportunity to rise in the previous dynasty. It now had a history of nearly a hundred years and was still thriving. They also thought they had an international vision and shifted the center of their business to the United States.
Compared with the so-called nouveau riche who had suddenly become rich after being poor for a long time in the country, Su Yunwei felt that the Su family was obviously much more prominent.
"Weiwei, I'm not kidding, and what I said is not exaggerated at all. Lu Yiming is really not an ordinary person."
Li Qingmei took out a document from her bag and handed it to Su Yunwei carefully: "According to my investigation, Lu Yiming is not a rich second-generation. A few months ago, his father's mold factory was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management, but he started from scratch. He first taught himself programming and earned $300,000 from the world's richest man Bill Gates. Later, he used the money to open an Internet cafe... "
Li Qingmei told Su Yunwei all the important information about Lu Yiming in detail, and finally reminded her again: "Lu Yiming went from being penniless to a billionaire in just a few months. Do you think such a person would be an ordinary second-generation rich man?"
This time, Su Yunwei was truly shocked.
She had previously thought of Lu Yiming as just an ordinary rich second-generation man who was a bit scheming and cunning. But after hearing what Li Qingmei said, she realized how wrong she was.
This guy is not a second-generation rich, he is clearly a first-generation rich!
It's totally off the mark!
