Chapter 346 DDDD
Wu Changmao was also troubled by his brother Wu Changsheng, who was impetuous and ruthless. He immediately scolded him angrily: "It's already this time, and you are still acting on impulse?"
"It's easy to deal with Lu Yiming. He can just walk away. Even if he doesn't want all his assets in Baiyun, the worst that can happen is that he will only lose 400 to 500 million yuan. But how much will our Wu family have to pay? You have to know that most of his money is in Hong Kong! Can you chase him to Hong Kong?"
To be honest, Lu Yiming's assets in the mainland are not that big. Shijinji is just a stake, Jingyi Real Estate is just a stake, and Xinghe Group is also just a stake. Only Tongxin Internet Cafe and Jianlai Technology are worth looking at, but how big is that?
At present, Lu Yiming's economic ties with Baiyun City are still very weak. All his money is in future capital, especially the stocks of various foreign companies he holds. If he really can't stay in Baiyun City anymore, he can leave at any time.
Even if the Wu family could find a way to kill his Tongxin Internet Cafe and Jianlai Technology, what about the others? Jingyi Real Estate was related to the Lin family, and Shijinji was the property of the Su family. No matter which one the Wu family offended, it would be unpleasant.
Besides, who can afford the charge of deliberately destroying the business environment?
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. The Wu family has been operating in Baiyun City for many years, and various interests are intertwined. One move can affect the whole body.
However, Lu Yiming has only been rising for a few months, and his ties with Baiyun City are not close at all. If they make him angry, he can move away at any time. The Wu family really can't do anything to him. Instead, they have to be on guard against Lu Yiming turning the tables and making the Wu family suffer the consequences.
Wu Qiushi was very satisfied with Wu Changmao's steadiness and nodded approvingly: "Not bad, Changsheng, I would feel relieved if you were half as steady as your brother."
After saying this, Wu Qiushi gave the two brothers another reminder: "The most important thing right now is to calm the situation, not to make it worse. As for Lu Yiming, whether he did it or not, we can't touch him unless we can find any evidence against him."
In fact, the people who make the rules are often the ones least likely to break them.
After all, the rules you set are already in your best interest, and you have to ask others to follow them. However, you abuse your privileges and ignore the rules, changing your orders every day and not keeping your promises. In the short term, you may gain benefits, but in the long run, you will end up hurting yourself.
From a country to an individual, if you say something and the other party does not choose to believe you directly but instead doubts the authenticity of what you said, then you have actually failed.
You may still appear strong on the surface, but your inner foundation is rapidly crumbling.
It is like a Buddha statue that has lost its believers. It is only a matter of time before it collapses and is forgotten.
The collapse of faith is a disaster for any organization.
As someone who came from the system himself, Wu Qiushi was very clear about this, so he was more in awe, instead of being like his two sons who relied on their family connections to act recklessly.
You know, Baiyun is the frontier of reform and opening up. Even if the king of heaven comes here, he has to restrain himself and not be too greedy.
Otherwise, it would cause panic, leading to businessmen withdrawing their capital and fleeing, which would result in huge losses. Even if the Wu family had extraordinary abilities, they would definitely be wiped out.
However, Wu Changsheng, who was used to being domineering, curled his lips and looked very unhappy: "I have checked through my channels. All the news came from several newspapers in Hong Kong. Although we can inform these media in Baiyun City now, we can't control Hong Kong."
After hearing Wu Changsheng say that the news was published in a Hong Kong newspaper, Wu Changmao suddenly had an idea and became suspicious: "Is it possible that we have been suspecting the wrong person? Was this leaked by the Li family? Although Lu Yiming's assets are in Hong Kong, Hong Kong is the base of the Li family."
“Ah, this…”
Wu Changsheng suddenly felt that things seemed to be becoming more and more complicated.
Wu Changmao's suspicion is not without reason.
First, he went to see Lu Yiming today, and Lu Yiming seemed to be completely unaware of the matter. He talked to him loudly, and no matter how he tried to probe, Lu Yiming did not react at all. Wu Changmao felt that a teenager, no matter how evil he was, could not control his emotions so perfectly.
Secondly, the Li family has a big appetite. When Plot No. 3 was auctioned, it was the Li family who raised the price, and they were determined to achieve their goal. Lu Yiming's Jingyi Real Estate and the Lin family's Jingwan Group never raised their bids once, and it was obvious that they had no interest in Plot No. 3.
Third, Hong Kong is the Li family’s base, and the source of this news was several Hong Kong newspapers.
It can be said that the Li family has the motivation and ability to do so.
At the same time, Li Chaoren, who was staying at the Marriott Hotel, looked at his second son with an unhappy face and raised the newspaper in his hand: "Akai, tell me honestly, did you do this?"
The newspapers are publishing various inside stories about the land auction.
This incident caused quite a stir, and everyone even suspected that Li Kai had hired someone to do it. Naturally, the news quickly reached Li Chaoren.
After all, if the Li family really has the motivation and ability to do this, they will definitely be the first suspect.
In front of his father, Li Kai, who is already in his thirties, said with a face full of grievance: "Dad, it really wasn't me this time!"
Although given his personality, he is definitely capable of doing this, and he has done so many times when encountered similar situations in Hong Kong.
But as the saying goes, if you walk on the road at night too much, you will always encounter ghosts. Li Kai felt that he really saw a living ghost this time.
The person who did this not only grasped the timing very well, but also undoubtedly grasped Li Kai's character very well!
Now everyone who is familiar with Li Kai - including his biological father Li Chaoren - the first reaction is that it was Li Kai who did it.
This made Li Kai not know how to refute. It was just like the yellow mud falling into his crotch. It was shit if not shit.
Li Chaoren looked at him suspiciously as he left: "It's really not you?"
Li Kai was so angry that he almost wanted to swear: "I don't know which loser framed me in secret. Dad, you know me well. Even if I really want to do this, I will definitely negotiate with the Wu family first. We are here to make money. Simply exposing information will not do us much good, and it is easy to offend people for no reason."
Businessmen put profit first, and capitalists will never do business at a loss.
Li Kai successfully convinced Li Chaoren with this reason.
After listening to his explanation, Li Chaoren sighed and said, "The Wu family has already informed me. They said that if we want Plot 3, we can negotiate. There is no need to do such an unkind thing and make things difficult for everyone."
"But if it wasn't you who did it, then the person who did it must be an expert. He put our Li family and the Wu family on the spot in one fell swoop. It was really a good trick and a good calculation."
I have to say, this move was really ruthless, and it put Li Kai in a dilemma.
Does he want Plot No. 3?
Think about it!
Who wouldn’t want such a piece of fat meat?
However, among all the forces participating in the bidding at that time, only their Li family was not afraid of retaliation from the Wu family.
Therefore, it is reasonable to speculate that, besides Li Kai, who else could do such a thing?
Thinking of this, Li Kai felt numb.
"Even if Plot 3 is given to us, it will definitely be a hot potato."
Li Chaoren snorted, his eyes gleaming, "What's wrong with a hot potato? Things have come to this point. Do you think that if we don't accept it, others will not doubt us?"
Li Ke said puzzledly: "But if we accept it, wouldn't that be like admitting guilt? Then everyone will have more reason to say that we resorted to such despicable means just to get Plot No. 3."
Li Chaoren sneered when he heard this: "If you don't fight, will others stop doubting you? No, they will only think that you are guilty and look down on you even more."
"Akai, when doing business, if you can have face, you have to have it. But if you can't have it, then don't have it. How much is face worth? You are afraid of being gossiped about, but are you afraid of being poor?"
Obviously, Li Chaoren, who had seen countless storms, had a more thorough understanding of the so-called human heart than Li Kai: "Since they all think that our Li family did this for Plot No. 3, then we might as well take Plot No. 3. By then, if this news is still circulating outside, it will actually clear us of suspicion."
Real benefits are better than false reputation.
This is Li Chaoren’s principle of doing things.
Li Kai's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this: "Ginger is indeed more experienced, and you are the smartest, Dad. By then, we will have obtained the land, so what if there is suspicion? After three or five years, who will remember what happened today?"
"good."
"Okay! Let's do it!"
Jingwan Group.
Lin Shuyi's office.
There were several newspapers on the desk, and Lu Yiming was sitting on the sofa opposite, sipping tea leisurely.
"How did you do that? Now they're all about to fight."
Lin Shuyi knew that these news were leaked by Lu Yiming, but now he has successfully dragged the Li family into the water. Not long ago, she heard that the Li family had said that they would take over plot No. 3 at any cost.
Lu Yiming smiled calmly and said, "The world is bustling with people, all for profit. Li Kai is a very greedy person, and he has no bottom line, so I guess he will take over, unless he can give up the benefits that are delivered to him. But can he?"
Lin Shuyi asked in confusion: "What about Li Chaoren? He can't fail to see that this is a trap, right? After all, he has seen all kinds of storms in his life."
Lu Yiming laughed: "Age is a shrewd thing, how could a very smart person like him not see it? But the benefits I offer are real, the bait is put out, and he can't resist. Haven't you heard that capital can even put a price on the rope that hangs itself for profit?"
Lin Shuyi couldn't help but exclaimed: "Good fellow, is this also part of your calculations?"
Lin Shuyi admires Lu Yiming very much for daring to cheat even Li Chaoren.
A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Li Chaoren's experience itself is a legendary story. Even now, he has become a wealth legend in the East.
Countless people in the country admire his business philosophy and respect him like a god.
As for such a person who was almost deified, Lu Yiming not only dared to take advantage of him, but now he even began to directly plot against Li Chaoren's own son.
With such courage and ability, even Lin Shuyi, who always claimed to be a favored girl, had to admit defeat to him.
Then, Lin Shuyi laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid that if the truth is revealed, Li Chaoren will bear a grudge against you? If he wants to retaliate, your small body may not be able to withstand it."
Lu Yiming was quite confident about this. He replied calmly, "Gold like me will shine wherever I go. Even Li Chaoren, what can he do to me?"
When Lin Shuyi heard this, she rolled her eyes and said, "You really got angry when I told you you were fat . So if Li Chaoren takes the bait, what are you going to do next?"
Lu Yiming pondered slowly for a moment, and then said: "Well, the newspaper has been distributed, and I can't control it. If some important person sees this newspaper, such as someone in the province...ah, this should have nothing to do with me, right?"
Lin Shuyi exclaimed: "Are you going to..."
Lu Yiming had a distressed expression on his face and scratched his hair. He looked very annoyed, but then he laughed again: "Didn't I say that? The newspaper has so many circulations, and other newspapers have also reprinted it. I can't control it. I mean, if someone from the committee sees it, will they come down to check it out?"
Lin Shuyi said with a dark face: "Of course! You are really audacious. You won't stop until you trick people to death, right?"
Lu Yiming waved his hands and said, "How many times do you want me to say it? It's not me who is cheating, it's the media who are cheating. They dare to spread anything..."
"cut……"
Sure enough, a few days later, the Wu family's illegal use of the land for bidding was noticed by the relevant departments above, and an investigation team came down to investigate the matter specifically.
Although the Wu family sold the land to Li Chaoren and used the money from the sale of the land to fill the hole, but in this world, just because you make up for it, it doesn't mean you have never done it.
There is no way to escape from violating the rules.
In the end, not only did Changsheng Fund lose a large sum of money, Wu Changmao was punished, and even Wu Qiushi was given the result of "retirement due to illness". The entire Wu family was severely damaged.
Although Li Kai seemed to have won and obtained the ownership of Plot No. 3, his actions also violated taboos. If the Li family wants to develop in the mainland in the future, it may not be so smooth.
It can be said that both sides were hit hard, resulting in a lose-lose situation.
On the contrary, Lu Yiming, the instigator, sat back on the throne from beginning to end, and returned to school to attend classes as if nothing had happened.
The ups and downs outside cannot blow into the ivory tower of No. 1 Middle School, which is filled with singing and laughter.
