Chapter 33: How Are You Worth Six Million?
Lu Yiming knew very well that the land price in Hong Kong did not stop falling until around 2003, and the subsequent growth rate was insignificant. On the contrary, in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, which are only a stone's throw away, there are countless opportunities in the real estate industry, and it can be said that there is gold everywhere.
These three questions are called questions, but in fact they are just suggestions.
Although Lu Yiming's words were harsh, there was no doubt that every word was valuable advice. Among the four people present, only Zheng Fengting, who was still in high school, did not understand. Li Yiwen, Zheng Zhiguang, and Lin Shuyi all understood and fell into deep thought.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Lu Yiming took a sip of Dahongpao and directly picked up a shrimp dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, without caring about his image at all.
After wolfing down his food, Lu Yiming stood up, burped, and patted his round : "Ah, I'm full, time to go. Xiao Zheng, thank you for the hospitality."
Zheng Zhiguang: “…”
Seeing that Lu Yiming was about to leave, Li Yiwen quickly stood up and took a few spring rolls, then chased in the direction where Lu Yiming left: "Wait for me."
As soon as Lu Yiming left, Zheng Zhiguang, Lin Shuyi and Zheng Fengting all fell silent.
After a long while, Zheng Zhiguang said, "I think what Lu Yiming said makes sense. No wonder the total amount of deposits has dropped so quickly recently. Even depositors with more than two million can get gold cards. This situation has never happened before."
The phenomenon observed by Zheng Zhiguang indirectly confirmed Lu Yiming's previous point of view.
However , Lin Shuyi still felt uncomfortable: "I understand the reason, but that guy's words were too harsh."
Zheng Zhiguang had no way to refute this. To be honest, he almost wanted to hit someone just now.
"Come on, don't be angry. Cousin, you are a magnanimous person. Don't argue with young people. Let's eat our fill first. I paid for this table. It will be a waste if we don't finish it."
The three of them finished eating everything on the table. Zheng Zhiguang wiped his mouth and said, "What are you going to do next? Do you want me to take you for a walk?"
Lin Shuyi is still very angry now, how can she have the mood to stroll around Hong Kong?
Besides, coming to Hong Kong is as simple as eating and drinking. Hong Kong is only a small place and she has already been familiar with it.
"I have to go back and tell my dad first."
Zheng Zhiguang couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.
Although what Lu Yiming said could make people angry to death, it was obvious that Lin Shuyi still listened to him.
Several people walked to the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel. Before getting in the car, Lin Shuyi asked casually, "By the way, what is that guy named Lu doing in Hong Kong?"
"Business."
Zheng Zhiguang answered casually while picking his teeth with a toothpick.
Lin Shuyi frowned slightly and asked again, "So what is the business?"
Zheng Zhiguang immediately sat up straight and shook his head solemnly: "I can't tell you this. My professional ethics don't allow me to disclose client information to outsiders."
Lin Shuyi glanced at him with disdain: "Why are you pretending? Do you financial people still have professional ethics? The price is five million. Do you want to tell me?"
"Ahem, you got the wrong person. I'm a highly educated person."
"Six million, no more."
"Haha, you're really good at judging people. This guy came from the mainland to open a bank account because he has a remittance of 300,000 US dollars. Only if it is deposited in a bank in Hong Kong will it not be converted into mainland currency. And he also wants to cooperate with me to short the ruble."
As soon as Lin Shuyi added the money, Zheng Zhiguang happily sold Lu Yiming out completely and told her the whole story from beginning to end.
"Him? Shorting the ruble? How dare you think about it." Lin Shuyi muttered.
However, Lin Shuyi was very smart and immediately thought of a good idea to "retaliate" against Lu Yiming. She said with some pride, "Hehe, I have to say that although he has a foul mouth, his vision and brains are extraordinary. I'll give you the six million. Help me run it. I also want to short the ruble."
"You want to short the ruble too? No, isn't this money given to me? How come I'm helping you with the operation?"
Lin Shuyi smiled and said, "Yes, I'll give it to you and you help me run it. What's the problem?"
Zheng Zhiguang almost cried: "Didn't you use this money to bribe me and buy information about Lu Yiming from me?"
Lin Shuyi looked at Zheng Fengting with a puzzled expression and asked, "Did I say that?"
Without waiting for Zheng Fengting to answer, Lin Shuyi said to Zheng Zhiguang: "Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror? What on your body is worth me spending six million to buy?"
Zheng Zhiguang took a deep breath and said, "No, do you really want to join me in shorting the ruble?"
Zheng Zhiguang was really confused this time.
Lu Yiming dared to play like this. It's fine to say that he was young and frivolous and overestimated his own abilities, but why did you, Miss Lin, get involved? Although Lin Yuantao is your father, the six million is probably your private money that you saved with great difficulty, right?
If you lose money, won’t you feel sad?
However, Zheng Zhiguang changed his mind and thought, Lu Yiming wanted to short the ruble, and Lin Shuyi also wanted to short the ruble. Could this business really be successful?
Zheng Zhiguang couldn't help but start to have some thoughts.
He thought to himself, he has saved nearly one million yuan in private money over the years, should he try his luck and set up a pig farm for fun?
On the way home, Li Yiwen handed the briefcase to Lu Yiming. Looking at his cousin who seemed to be becoming more and more unfamiliar, Li Yiwen had a lot of questions.
"I have already obtained the proof of assets you requested."
Lu Yiming opened it and counted it, and found that nothing was missing, and immediately smiled and said, "Thanks, brother."
Li Yiwen couldn't help but ask curiously: "I say, what do you want to do?"
Lu Yiming said with a relaxed look: "I don't want to do anything, I just want to make some money and live a good life."
Li Yiwen widened his eyes and complained angrily: "I don't believe you. What good life can't you live with 300,000 US dollars? You are clearly playing with fire now, do you know that!"
Obviously, Lu Yiming's crazy move of shorting the ruble made Zheng Zhiguang very worried. This was 300,000 US dollars. If it were him, he would definitely play it safe and buy a few shops and become a landlord. Wouldn't that be great?
Although I can't become rich, at least I don't have to worry about food and clothing.
Lu Yiming also knew that Li Yiwen was worried about him, so he patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, cousin. I have done my homework before shorting the ruble. It is definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision. Can I be worthy of God if I don't take this free money?"
“Are you sure you can make money?”
"That's a must!"
Li Yiwen still had some doubts, but since Lu Yiming had said so, it was useless for him to object. He could only sigh and pray silently in his heart: "I hope everything goes well."
