Chapter 361: The Ship Arrives at the Bridge
Seeing Lu Yiming being stubborn, Lin Shuyi had no choice but to remind him, "If you don't apologize, they will never let it go. If things get really complicated, what are you going to do?"
Lu Yi obviously didn't care much about this. He just waved his hand and said in a relaxed tone: "If the enemy comes, we will stop them. If the water comes, we will block it with earth. Why should I be afraid of them?"
"Sure?"
"Sure."
"Then go away."
"What? You're not going to treat me to a meal?"
"Eat your head, I'm not in the mood. Get out of my sight, now, right now."
“…”
Lu Yiming got out of the car and watched the Rolls-Royce drive away. He looked very depressed and cursed, "What kind of person is this? He won't even treat me to a meal. He's so stingy. You'll never get married."
After complaining, Lu Yiming took out his cell phone and called Shi Qingxue to ask her, "Are you eating in the cafeteria?"
Over there, Shi Qingxue received a call from Lu Yiming and was a little surprised, then nodded: "Yeah, what's the matter?"
Lu Yiming immediately smiled and said, "That's great, make one for me as well."
Shi Qingxue: “…”
A few minutes later, Lu Yiming appeared in the cafeteria.
Shi Qingxue asked curiously, "Didn't you leave with that Lin Shuyi? Why are you back?"
When talking about this matter, Lu Yiming became particularly angry: "Don't mention it, that guy was so rude, he drove me away after talking to me for a few words."
When Shi Qingxue heard this , she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
“You…”
At six o'clock in the afternoon, just as the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Li Yiwen called.
"Lu Yiming, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Yiming didn't come back to his senses for a while, so he asked, "What's going on?"
Seeing that he was still acting so carefree, Li Yiwen, who had been anxious for a long time, immediately gnashed his teeth and said, "You are still pretending to be nice to me! Why would you want to provoke the people of Lingdong Merchants? Do you know that it is one of the three largest merchant groups in the country? How can we provoke them casually?"
When Lu Yiming heard that, he realized that they were talking about this matter. He immediately spread his hands nonchalantly and said, "If I've offended you, then I've offended you. It's useless to worry about it now. You might as well relax. Life has to go on. What's the point of being angry?"
Li Yiwen's voice suddenly rose eight degrees when he heard what Lu Yiming said: "What's the use? If the people of Lingdong Merchants Group attack us, our business will be difficult to move forward! You are not naive enough to think that you can sit back and relax just because our base is in Hong Kong, right? I tell you, Li Chaoren is a member of Lingdong Merchants Group, and he is also a local snake in Hong Kong!"
What Li Yiwen said was indeed the truth. Liang Shuzhen and Zuo Chunrong were nothing in themselves, and in terms of assets, Lu Yiming crushed them.
But the problem is that they have a backer and an organization behind them, while Lu Yiming is a lone man.
As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Even if Lu Yiming is made of iron, how many nails can he hammer?
This is the reason why Liang Shuzhen and Zuo Chunrong are so unscrupulous, and it is also the reason why they force Lu Yiming to admit defeat and surrender.
In everyone's opinion, Lu Yiming now has no choice but to admit defeat. After all, even Lin Shuyi is unable to help him overcome the current difficulties.
However, Lu Yiming was not panicked at all. Instead, he calmly comforted his cousin Li Yiwen: "When you reach the mountain, there must be a way out. It is impossible to admit defeat. Don't I have any face?"
Li Yiwen almost had a brain congestion: "Face? How much is face worth, brother? Is this a matter of face? If this problem is not solved, our current good situation will vanish in an instant! Is your face worth this much?"
Lu Yiming said with certainty: "Yes."
"What the hell! Do you still want to do business?"
Lu Yiming understood what Li Yiwen meant. There were countless members of the Lingdong Merchant Gang in Baiyun City alone. They were all of the same blood. If Liang Shuzhen and Zuo Chunrong really picked them up to cause trouble for him, he would not be able to do a lot of business.
For example, if Tongxin Internet Cafe wants to open a branch, it has to buy a store in a good location, right?
But if the owner of that store happens to be a member of the Lingdong Merchants Group, can the deal still be done?
But this is a high- probability event, so Li Yiwen feels a headache.
Not to mention that when this group of people mobilize all kinds of connections to cause trouble for Lu Yiming, I'm afraid Tongxin Internet Café will have to close down.
Lu Yiming sighed, and finally gave Li Yiwen a little hint: "Okay, since you are so worried, I will find someone to help us solve these problems."
Li Yiwen, who was still angry at first
You know , Lin Shuyi is the daughter of the richest man in Baiyun City! Whether it is status or reputation, she is second to none in the business world of Baiyun City. Now even Lin Shuyi is helpless, Li Yiwen doesn't know who else Lu Yiming can go to.
Lu Yiming curled his lips and said, "You make it seem like I'm living off her. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to make a phone call. You wait for my news."
After finishing the call with Li Yiwen, Lu Yiming called Zheng Zhiguang.
"Guang, what are you doing?"
On the other end of the phone, Zheng Zhiguang saw that it was Lu Yiming calling, so he didn't dare to neglect it and quickly said, "I just got off work. What can I do for you, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Yiming smacked his lips and said, "I suddenly remembered that I haven't eaten at Long Jingxuan for a while. When will you invite me to have a bite again?"
Hearing what Lu Yiming said, Zheng Zhiguang felt a sudden pain in his heart, but he still said, "As long as Mr. Lu comes, it's fine anytime."
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Not bad, we've gotten to know each other so well after not seeing each other for a while. By the way, I called you this time because I want to tell you something. I want to discuss a business with your dad, can you help me convey this message?"
"Talking business with my dad?"
Zheng Zhiguang frowned, wondering what Lu Yiming was up to.
Lu Yiming said, "Yes. Don't worry, it's definitely a legitimate business. So please tell your father. When he has time, I will go to your house to visit the seniors in our Baiyun business community."
"All right."
Zheng Zhiguang agreed.
Just after hanging up the phone, the cell phone rang again. Lu Yiming looked at the number and found that it was Li Yiwen calling, so he lent it.
"Oh my god, it finally worked."
Li Yiwen couldn't wait to ask: "What's going on? Did you find someone?"
Lu Yiming said: "I found it."
Li Yiwen asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Lu Yiming said: "Zheng Youyuan."
"Zheng Youyuan?"
On the other end of the phone, Li Yiwen, whose expression had just relaxed, suddenly tensed up again.
"Isn't Zheng Youyuan just an electronics factory owner? What's the point of looking for him?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "You don't understand this, right? Have you ever heard of the Cantonese Merchants' Clan?"
Li Yiwen had never been exposed to the affairs of this circle before. It was only after he had been in Hong Kong for a while and learned about Li Chaoren's history of making a fortune that he learned about the existence of the Lingdong Merchants' Clan. He had never heard of the Cantonese Merchants' Clan.
"I haven't heard of it. What's so special about it?"
Lu Yiming explained: "In Guangdong Province, the most powerful are the Lingdong Merchants and the Guangfu Merchants, and the relationship between the two is not very good due to years of competition. Compared with the reputation of the Lingdong Merchants, the Guangfu Merchants seem a little mysterious, because they are rarely mentioned. But don't underestimate this merchant group, it actually has a great impact on our lives. The Guangfu Merchants have gathered a large number of Xiaguo industrialists within the Guangfu Merchants, and their influence can be said to be everywhere. Real estate, sanitary ware, ceramics, lighting and furniture decoration, air conditioners, disinfection cabinets, refrigerators and water heaters, etc., all have Guangfu merchants."
Li Yiwen understood immediately: "Are you planning to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
Lu Yiming immediately said: "What are you talking about? What do you mean by borrowing a knife to kill someone? Now I am the one who is going to be slaughtered, do you know that?"
Li Yiwen muttered, "You deserve it. Who told you to talk nonsense?"
Although the Cantonese merchant group is not well-known, it is very powerful and can compete with the Lingdong merchant group.
Although the Lingdong merchant group is wealthy and powerful, with leading figures like Li Chaoren, the Cantonese merchant group should not be underestimated.
People like Mr. Huo, who was a big shot in Hong Kong back then, and Li Zhaoji, who was the richest man in Asia not long ago, were both members of the Cantonese business community.
They have taken root in the country and have deeply engaged in industry, especially various processing and manufacturing industries. Their official power is even greater than that of the Lingdong business group.
After all, the Lingdong business group is just richer, while the Cantonese business group controls a large number of jobs and production companies.
If a fight really breaks out, it’s easy to tell who the authorities will side with.
In the evening, Zheng Zhiguang called and said, "Come to my house for lunch tomorrow. I'll be back as soon as I check in this morning."
"OK."
The next day after school at noon, Li Quanwang said to Lu Yiming, "Let's go to my house for dinner. My parents heard that you didn't let me invest, and they think your decision is very wise. They want to treat you to dinner to thank you."
Lu Yiming said: "It's not possible at noon today. I have a dinner appointment with Zheng Fengting's father."
Li Quanwang was shocked when he heard this: "Oh my god! Aren't you with Shi Qingxue? When did you hook up with Zheng Fengting? Are you going back to meet her parents?"
Lu Yiming slapped Li Quanwang on the top of his head and said, "What the hell, I went to her house to discuss business with her father. What do you mean by hooking up? I warn you, don't talk nonsense outside, or I'll just stick a mousetrap on your mouth."
"Fuck, you're so cruel."
Li Quanwang involuntarily took two steps back: "Okay, then I'll talk to my mom about it some other time. We live next door anyway."
After the villa caught fire, Li Quanwang and his family moved into the villa.
However, although Li Quanwang is rich now, his parents do not enjoy a leisurely life at home. They still get up early and go to the vegetable market to sell vegetables every day.
"Well, I'm leaving."
Outside the school, Zhao Tiezhu was already waiting outside. Lu Yiming got in the car and asked, "Have you bought the gift I asked you to buy?"
"I bought it. It's in the back seat."
Lu Yiming turned his head and saw a few gift boxes. He nodded slightly and said with satisfaction: "Then let's go."
In the Upper Bay Area, the scenery is still beautiful and peaceful. Here, the detached luxury houses have different shapes, but in Lu Yiming's eyes, they are all the same.
These are all luxuries built with money.
If Lin Shuyi hadn't given him a few villas in Bi Hai Long Ting, Lu Yiming felt that he should get one here to try.
However, now, it’s just a thought. Houses are for living in. Now that I have the Blue Sea Dragon Court to live in, there is no need to spend more money.
After all, he doesn't have much money, but there are still many things he wants to do, so good steel must be used where it is needed most.
At the Zheng family mansion, Zheng Fengting, who had just returned home, saw a table full of dishes. Zheng Youyuan and Xu Qingshu were dressed very formally. She immediately felt very strange and asked, "Dad, Mom? Are there any guests coming to our house today?"
Then, she saw Zheng Zhiguang coming out of the bedroom and was even more surprised: "Brother, today is not the weekend, why are you back?"
Zheng Zhiguang said: "Because Mr. Lu is coming to visit our house today."
"Mr. Lu? Which Mr. Lu?"
Zheng Fengting was totally confused.
For a moment, she couldn't connect this word with her classmate.
Just at this moment, the doorbell outside rang. Zheng Fengting looked at the video doorbell and was immediately shocked.
"Lu Yiming? President Lu?"
She ran out and opened the door, looking Lu Yiming up and down as if she didn't know him: "Mr. Lu? Lu Yiming?"
When Lu Yiming saw Zheng Fengting's reaction, he suddenly laughed: "Why? Are you surprised?"
"What do you think?"
Zheng Fengting couldn't help but roll her eyes, made way for him, and said, "Come in."
Lu Yiming entered the room and saw Zheng Youyuan. He said in a relaxed tone, "Mr. Zheng, I have heard of your name for a long time. I have wanted to visit you for a long time, but I have never found the time. I am really sorry that I have delayed it until today."
Zheng Youyuan was also very interested in Lu Yiming, a young man with a bizarre experience. He walked over to take Lu Yiming's gift and said in a casual manner, "The Yangtze River's new generation pushes the old generation forward. Mr. Lu is young and promising. He is a rising star in our Baiyun City's business community. From now on, this world will be yours."
Looking at Zheng Youyuan and Lu Yiming chatting and laughing, Zheng Fengting seemed a little dazed.
Her father and her classmate, this strange combination was really beyond her expectations.
Zheng Zhiguang patted her shoulder and said, "Why are you still standing here? Wash your hands and go eat."
At the dinner table, everyone sat down as host and guest. Zheng Youyuan said modestly, "These are just some home-cooked dishes. I'm sorry to have neglected Mr. Lu."
Lu Yiming said politely, "No, no, it's such a sumptuous feast , it must be Mr. Zheng's expense."
After a few pleasantries, everyone started chatting and drinking a few glasses of wine. Zheng Zhiguang asked impatiently, "Mr. Lu, you said you wanted to discuss business with my dad. What kind of business do you plan to discuss?"
