Chapter 334: Violating the Decision of the Ancestors
Facing Shi Qingxue's pair of "thirsty" eyes, Lu Yiming took a deep breath and said calmly, "It's like this. Last night, I went out with my investor for a midnight snack and drank some wine. I was too tired and fell asleep directly. I got up in a hurry in the morning and didn't take a shower."
"real?"
"Of course it's true!"
The truth is of course the truth, but it is not told in full. This is the highest level of lies.
Shi Qingxue naturally believed what Lu Yiming said 100%, and then pinched her nose with a look of disgust, and deliberately waved at him: "Hey~ You don't even take a shower in this weather, you stink."
Lu Yiming let out a long sigh of relief, and then vowed, "I'll take a shower when I get home at noon, that should be fine, right?"
He managed to get away with it, but Lu Yiming was still grumbling in his heart.
This Lin Shuyi is really something. With such a low alcohol tolerance, she still has the nerve to clamor for drinking.
What if, by accident, the gun goes off? How badly will I suffer? Just thinking about it makes me angry.
After school in the afternoon, Shi Qingxue held Lu Yiming's hand and invited him with a smile: "Do you want to come to my house for dinner? My dad bought two brown crabs at noon today. They are so big."
“Good fellow…”
Lu Yiming couldn't help but licking his lips greedily. Just as he was about to agree, the cell phone in his pocket kept ringing.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Lin Shuyi's number. Lu Yiming had no choice but to turn around and give Shi Qingxue an apologetic and helpless look: "I'll take a call first."
Shi Qingxue curled her lips: "Okay."
Lu Yiming gently pressed the answer button.
"Hello?"
On the other end of the phone, Lin Shuyi's clear voice came, but her tone was a little cold: "Come to my house."
Something almost happened last night, so Lu Yiming didn't dare to agree at this moment. He refused without thinking: "I'm busy. I have to go eat crabs with my friends."
He deliberately emphasized the word "friend", meaning to tell Lin Shuyi that he was already taken and asked Lin Shuyi to stop trying to hit on him.
On the other end of the phone, Lin Shuyi was full of black lines on her face: "Eat shit, I'll pull a truckload for you someday so you can eat until you vomit! Come over quickly, it's about Nanwan."
Playing and joking may be fun, but Lu Yiming dare not joke about business matters.
As soon as he heard Lin Shuyi's tone, he knew that the matter was not a trivial matter. Lu Yiming's expression became a little more serious, and then he reluctantly agreed: "Okay, I'll go over now."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiming stroked Shi Qingxue's hair with regret: "Xiaoxue, a business partner of mine called and asked me to take care of an urgent matter. I can't go home with you for dinner. Next time, I will personally buy some shrimps and make you fresh shrimp bamboo noodles."
Although she felt a little disappointed, Shi Qingxue was still very sensible and shook her head gently: "It doesn't matter, work is important. My mother told me that a man should be ambitious."
"Ah, mom is right, give me a kiss..."
"Go, go, there are still people in the classroom."
"Does that mean you can kiss when there's no one around?"
"Didn't you just say that the matter was urgent? Why? It's not urgent now?"
Shi Qingxue shyly stretched out her hand and pushed Lu Yiming's back hard, urging him to leave quickly.
"Ah... okay, I'll go right away."
Seeing Lu Yiming looking a little disappointed, Shi Qingxue glanced around the classroom and found that no one was looking at her. She quickly pecked Lu Yiming on the cheek and said in a low voice with a flushed face, "Is it okay?"
Lu Yiming touched the place where he was kissed and smiled, "Not bad."
"What do you mean it's okay? You're taking advantage of me. Go now!"
"Let's go, let's go."
Lin family.
Because Lin Yuantao was hospitalized, Chen Hongyan was taking care of him in the hospital, so when Lu Yiming arrived at Lin Shuyi's house, Lin Shuyi was the only one at home.
Lin Shuyi seemed to have just finished a shower, her hair was not dry yet. She was wearing a long white rabbit fur nightgown and a pair of cute cartoon cotton slippers.
Lu Yiming recalled the scene of the two of them sleeping in each other's arms last night, and couldn't help but raise his lips slightly: "A man and a woman alone in the same room, you are really not shy."
Lin Shuyi snorted and warned him fiercely, "What happened last night is known to heaven, earth, you and me. If a third person knows about it, I will make you pay!"
Lu Yiming's smile did not fade: "From what you said, it seems that my reputation is very bad. Don't I have any face?"
"you……"
Lin Shuyi's chest heaved with anger. She took a deep breath to calm down, and then she talked about business seriously: "The city has made it clear about the development of Nanwan."
Lu Yiming also put away his smile and looked serious.
The economic development of a region will undoubtedly involve huge interests. Such things are too far away from ordinary people, but for upper-class celebrities who have resources, they are within reach.
Vanity Fair, Vanity Fair, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than fame and fortune.
Officials seek fame, businessmen pursue profits. With such a big piece of cake, how many people can resist being tempted?
Obviously, as one of the local tyrants, the Lin family would never miss this feast. Even Lin Yuantao and his daughter Lin Shuyi had already started planning for it very early on.
Now it is still uncertain what level of investment is appropriate, so Lin Shuyi called Lu Yiming over to discuss it.
Lin Shuyi still values Lu Yiming's vision and wants to hear his opinion.
Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows, but his eyes did not show much surprise: "So, the Lin family is planning to do something big? I guess the investment of the richest man in Baiyun must be a big one this time, right?"
Lin Shuyi's eyes were deep, but she asked arrogantly: "Why, is it not possible?"
Recalling the process and final result of the development of Nanwan in his previous life, Lu Yiming shook his head and said, "No problem, your decision is correct. The land here is very valuable. If you occupy the land early, you will benefit early. So invest as much as you can, and you will definitely make money!"
After hearing this, Lin Shuyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a gleam in her eyes : "So, you are optimistic about it?"
Because of his past life memories, Lu Yiming was naturally full of confidence and said without hesitation, "Yes. There is a good port there, and it is not far from the city center. The geographical location is very advantageous. As long as the three connections and one leveling are completed, every inch of land will be worth a lot of money in the future."
The so-called three connections and one leveling refers to water access, electricity access, road access and a level site.
As long as these three key elements are well managed, and with the first-mover economic advantage of Baiyun, the development of South Bay will be a natural outcome and success will be a given.
Lin Shuyi nodded slightly, and it was obvious that she was thinking the same thing. "By the way, there is one more thing. I just got a piece of news. The city originally only planned to put up two pieces of land for auction, but now it is preparing to put up a third piece of land. Are you interested?"
"The third piece?"
At this moment, Lu Yiming was slightly surprised.
It was just because in his memories of his previous life, he knew that the sky-high priced land before the millennium appeared in this South Bay land bidding, but his impression seemed to be that only two pieces of land were auctioned, and one of them was won by Li Chaoren. How come three pieces of land were put up for auction now?
What went wrong?
It's impossible that I, the reborn person, flapped the butterfly's wings, right?
It shouldn't be.
This idea went through Lu Yiming's mind for a while and then was put aside.
His thoughts returned to what Lin Shuyi said. Because of Lin Shuyi, he had recently been exposed to a lot of inside information in the real estate industry.
Except for the land inherited from local residents, the rest of the land in Nanwan naturally belongs to the state.
Private land is scattered and difficult to acquire, so the meager benefits are only noticed by those with weaker connections, who rush in to share the profits.
The real big forces and capital focus on official land bidding. The land that is sold as a whole is the real fat meat.
But if you want to eat it, you have to have the money.
Land No. 1 is already in Li Chaoren's pocket. Even a local tiger like the Lin family cannot defeat this fierce dragon that has crossed the river. They can only settle for the second best and set their sights on Land No. 2.
But after acquiring Site No. 2, Lin Shuyi no longer had the confidence to acquire Site No. 3, as Jingwan Group did not have that much cash to squander.
That's why she came to Lu Yiming.
The reason is simple, only money!
"So, you want me to work with you to take over the third piece of land?"
Lu Yiming crossed his legs, but his face showed no emotion.
Lin Shuyi looked at his face, nodded and said bluntly: "That's right! Don't you have a Jingyi Real Estate in your hands now? You are eligible to participate in the auction."
Lu Yiming was naturally very interested in making money, so he casually asked, "How much money does it cost?"
Lin Shuyi thought about it and gave a number: "It will take at least 700 million or 800 million to be safe. At the same time, after acquiring the land, the development cost will not be less than 1 billion."
When Lu Yiming heard this, he frowned and fell into deep thought: "So what you mean is that I have to spend almost all my wealth on this?"
"Yes, it will cost about 2 billion. Although Lean Real Estate is not large in scale, it is still a qualified company. We should be able to get a mortgage loan from the bank to reduce the burden."
Lu Yiming said righteously, "Cooperate with the bank? No way. Even if I die, jumping off here and falling to my death, I will never cooperate with the bank!"
Cooperate with banks?
That's a nice way of putting it. To put it bluntly, it means working for the bank, or even being sucked dry by the bank!
Lu Yiming would rather earn less than go to the bank for a loan.
What's more, in his previous life, he had seen many real estate companies that were bankrupt after being asked to pay loans by banks. He would not do such a business that depended on others, no matter how profitable it was.
After all, his kneecaps were too hard and he couldn't kneel down.
Lin Shuyi felt that Lu Yiming was unreasonable, but for the huge benefits, she still refused to give up: "Then how about this, if you are willing to cooperate with me, we can set up a joint venture company, and then operate it. Your funds only need to come in for formalities, and you can withdraw them at any time."
It has to be said that Lin Shuyi's plan made Lu Yiming excited.
Just thinking about spending other people's money to develop your own products gives me a sense of PUA pleasure.
You can even be a little shameless, like Li Chaoren, who bought the land and held on to it without developing it, waiting for the land to appreciate in value and then sold it, making money without doing anything. Don't be too comfortable.
Seeing that Lu Yiming seemed to be somewhat tempted, Lin Shuyi thought that there was hope, and immediately promised more vigorously: "I am confident that if this wave of operations is carried out well, the profit will at least triple within three years."
Lu Yiming, who had been planning to put up with this, was visibly stunned when he heard this, and at the same time he repeated, "Three years? Three times the profit?"
Lin Shuyi was a little proud: "How is it? Very high, right?"
Three years, triple the profit. If you invest one million, it will become four million in three years. If you invest one billion, it will be four billion. If it is the two billion mentioned by Lin Shuyi, it will become eight billion in three years.
This deal is quite a bargain.
However, Lu Yiming scoffed at this.
How much is the profit per year if it is tripled in three years? If you can't even double it, then what's the point?
It's simply a disgrace to those who have been reborn!
Moreover, during the three years from 1998 to 2001, the world was undergoing tremendous changes, and the Internet was developing rapidly. He did not make good use of these golden years to plan for the high-tech field, but instead went to build a house...
Anyone with normal IQ would not make a decision that goes against their ancestors.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm somewhat interested in thirty times, but three times is just a waste of time and energy."
Lin Shuyi thought there was something wrong with her ears.
Or maybe there's something wrong with Lu Yiming's brain.
As long as you get this project, you will make a lot of money. It is also very stable and it will be difficult to lose money.
So she looked surprised and stared at Lu Yiming like a fool, looking him up and down: "Ah ha? No way, you don't even do this kind of money-making thing?"
Lu Yiming changed into a comfortable position and curled up on the sofa, tilting his head back and said weakly: "It's too tiring to pick up this money. I'm too lazy to bend down. Whoever wants to pick it up can do it. Anyway, I'm not interested."
Are you kidding? If you raise 2 billion in cash and use it to invest in the Internet, even a hundred times the profit margin in ten years would be an understatement.
Compared to this, tripling in three years is nothing.
Of course, Lin Shuyi was not a reborn person, so she would not be as sure as Lu Yiming. Even if she could have thought of the development of the Internet, she probably would not have thought that the Internet could develop so rapidly.
Lin Shuyi's eyes narrowed and her eyebrows knitted slightly: "Do you have a better way?"
Lu Yiming thought about it, and finally gave her a few words of advice: "Science and technology are the primary productive forces. Real estate makes money too slowly. I am more optimistic about the Internet. If you really want to make a big career, then invest in high-tech industries. Although the risks are high, this is the real way to make a lot of money. Real estate is not a crooked way, but it is not a good thing either. It's not worth getting into trouble for such a small amount of money."
Think about how those people will curse Mr. Fang twenty years later.
Lu Yiming didn't want to bear that kind of infamy and be criticized all day long.
Although he has a flexible moral bottom line, at least he does not intend to add fuel to the fire by raising housing prices and plunder the hard-working working class.
Lin Shuyi was speechless at Lu Yiming's words: "This little bit of money... you are so arrogant. Do you know how many people are trying their best to get in just for this 'little bit of money' you mentioned?"
Lu Yiming yawned and said, "There's no need to talk about this. If it's 100 million or 200 million, I'll just invest a little for fun, but with nearly 2 billion, I'm sorry I can't keep you company."
Seeing his firm attitude, Lin Shuyi felt very sorry, but there was nothing she could do.
After all, they are partners. Lu Yiming thought about it and reminded Lin Shuyi, "The millennium is coming soon. Have some cash in hand. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Don't go all in now, or you will regret it in ten or eight years."
This is not without purpose.
On April 3, 2000, the Nasdaq stock market in the United States plunged sharply, heralding the arrival of the first cold wave on the Internet.
By then, not only the United States, but also many websites in the United States will go bankrupt and enter a trough that will last for three years. The first wave of the Internet will enter the cold and winter.
Faced with such an impact, only the most resilient and dynamic Internet companies can survive this disaster.
But for capital, this is the best time to buy at the bottom. As long as you have a good vision , you will make a profit if you buy it, and it will be a huge profit.
Lin Shuyi was skeptical about Lu Yiming's reminder: "Are you sure?"
