Chapter 407: The Secret Revealed
When Lin Shuyi saw Shi Wuwei's expression, she felt secretly happy. However, thinking of the power behind Shi Wuwei, she was afraid that Lu Yiming would annoy him and he would make things difficult for Lu Yiming in the future, so she said, "What's the point of these hundreds of thousands? They are still not as good as Shi Wuwei. They are doing big orders."
After hearing what Lin Shuyi said, Shi Wuwei felt better. He thought that he was a big businessman and didn't care about Lu Yiming. Even the rate of return was three percentage points lower than his. What future could he have?
He said to Lin Shuyi: "I'll go over there and take a look."
Lin Shuyi nodded slightly. Seeing Shi Wuwei's expression, she was relieved and said, "Go."
As soon as Shi Wuwei left, Lin Shuyi said to Lu Yiming, "You are too unethical. You are poaching people in front of him. Aren't you slapping him in the face?"
Lu Yiming was very unconvinced and immediately argued, "I am innocent! I clearly did not do anything. He came to me on his own. Besides, I did not promote my future fund. These people wanted to invest on their own. Can I really drive them away? It's just business. It's not shameful."
While they were talking, someone else came to ask about the Future Fund, so Lin Shuyi shut up. After all, she was also one of the shareholders of Future Capital, and she also had a share in the profits of the Future Fund, so of course she would not go against money.
Shi Wuwei was unhappy and went to find Wang Juntao. He wanted to tell Wang Juntao about Lu Yiming's future fund. But when he came over, he saw Wang Juntao sitting on a chair smoking a cigarette with his head drooping. He looked listless. He was immediately depressed and asked, "Boss Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Juntao dropped his cigarette butt, stepped directly into the dirt, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, many of the people we invited here today heard that Lu Yiming's Future Fund guarantees principal and interest, so they all ran to his side. I have become his solicitor tonight."
Joe Porter next to him was also unhappy, but he didn't care in his heart. Instead, he said arrogantly: "Those people left because they were blind and will regret it one day."
Seeing that Joe Porter was confident, Shi Wuwei felt relieved and complimented him a few times, obviously treating him as a life-saving straw.
Although the Shi family is a famous family, reputation cannot be used to make a living. With the advent of a new era, some old industries will inevitably be eliminated, especially those industries that face direct competition with foreign capital.
The Shi family was very unfortunate and was the first to be hit, suffering heavy losses.
In order to survive, the family's business focus had to change, and Shi Wuwei was a pilot project for the Shi family to make changes and an attempt to enter the financial field.
But for the family, this may just be a pilot.
For Shi Wuwei himself, it is a matter of success and failure.
If it succeeds, all the family connections and industries will be inherited by him in the future. If it fails, not only will all the previous investments be wasted, but he will also forget about inheriting billions of assets.
Therefore, Shi Wuwei took this matter very seriously, because for him, there was no room for error.
On the other side, Lu Yiming chatted with a few wealthy second-generations and urged Lin Shuyi to leave. Because this event was not what he had imagined, he felt it was very boring to stay.
In the car, Lin Shuyi told Lu Yiming about the history of the Shi family, and then she was filled with emotion. In terms of background and qualifications, the Shi family can be said to be one of the old families in Baiyun, and it has existed for much longer than the Lin family. However, the situation changes with time, and now it is declining.
Lu Yiming leaned back in his chair, his body stretched out. He said calmly, "There is no eternal dynasty in the world, let alone a family. If you can't keep up with the times, you will be abandoned by the times."
Many people always think that the Xia Kingdom has a long history and must have many aristocratic families with long-standing traditions.
In fact, Lu Yiming has now come into contact with many so-called upper-class celebrities, and only then did he discover that the frequency of elimination among the aristocratic families in Xia Country is frighteningly high.
It’s no joke that wealth cannot last for more than three generations.
This is especially true when there is a change of dynasties. The richer and more famous the so-called aristocratic family is, the faster they will be destroyed.
Because a big tree attracts the wind, and there is such a big target standing there, who else can I destroy if not you?
In comparison, in capitalist Europe and the United States, there are countless wealthy families that have been passed down for hundreds of years and have stood the test of time.
Ordinary people often don't have access to this information, or don't care too much about it.
After all, for people whose bank deposits are only in four digits including decimal points , would they consider whether their descendants will live well?
Lin Shuyi seemed to see the future of the Lin family from the decline of the Shi family, and couldn't help asking Lu Yiming: "Now there are many rich people running away. Do you think investment immigration is reliable?"
Lu Yiming said jokingly: "Most of those who want to run away all day long have a shady background and are afraid of being punished later. What? Could it be that your family is also..."
How did the four state-owned banks go technically bankrupt in 1998?
With a bad debt rate of one quarter, who gets all the lost money?
The answer is actually not complicated at all. After all, there are termites everywhere in the world.
Lin Shuyi snorted and said, "How is that possible? You can just tell me this in private, but don't open your mouth carelessly. Be careful not to say anything out loud, or you'll offend a lot of people."
Jingwan Group is engaged in the real estate industry. What kind of monsters and demons has it not dealt with?
Lin Shuyi has seen just as many shadows under the sun as Lu Yiming, so she understands even better that if she wants to live a good life, she should mind her own business.
Lu Yiming didn't care about Lin Shuyi's warning. He reminded her, "I'm just complaining. These things are not my business, and I shouldn't be in charge. But if you want to invest in immigration, I would like to advise you that Europe and the United States are not good places."
Lin Shuyi said with a matter-of-fact expression, "In a capitalist country, if you have money, you should live a comfortable life, right?"
Lu Yiming laughed out loud: "How naive! Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Where is the pure land on earth? Look at the history of the rise of white people in Europe and the United States, and you will know that they are also cannibals. Look at the United States during World War II, they directly sent all immigrants from island countries to concentration camps and forcibly confiscated their property. It was as ugly as it could be."
Lin Shuyi curled her lips, not doubting the truth of what Lu Yiming said, but said: "It seems that the moon abroad is not rounder than the one in China."
Lu Yiming said: "If the Lin family really wants to be rich and prosperous for a long time, they should seriously invest in the industry and the future As long as they follow the general trend, they will not fall easily."
Lin Shuyi agreed and said, "That makes sense."
late at night.
Joe Bert lay on the big bed in the hotel, looking at the stars through the skylight, and called Dover Amon to tell him the news that the acquisition of Mingyuan Technology had failed and that the fund was about to collapse.
On the other end of the phone, Dover Amon was in a good mood, but these two pieces of news made him feel very bad. He said in a deep voice: "It seems that I have to go to Xia Country in person."
Dover Amon is a well-known tycoon in the circle, and he is even touted as a technology giant in China. The news that Dover Amon is coming to Xia Country has somehow spread in the circle. On the day when Dover Amon decided to come to Xia Country, the trajectory map had been released before the plane took off, and reporters from all walks of life were waiting at the airport early, with all kinds of long guns and short guns set up, which was a spectacular sight.
There are even TV stations that are willing to spend money to broadcast live!
However, after all, he is a foreign super-rich man with a net worth of billions of dollars. For Xia Guo, which is extremely eager for foreign investment, a god of wealth like him is undoubtedly a hot commodity. Such a reaction also reflects the current mentality of some Chinese people.
That evening, reporters reported the incident extensively, introducing Dover Ammons' identity, saying that he was the founder of Ammon Systems and a pioneer in flash drive technology, combining the identities of an inventor and a wealthy man.
On the other side, Lu Yiming was drinking the seafood porridge cooked by Ning Xuehua at home. Seeing the news report on TV, Ning Xuehua and Lu Ding were both amazed at the scene and wondered what this foreigner was doing in Xia Country at this time.
Lu Yiming sighed in his heart.
The real owner is finally here!
At Baiyun Airport, several middle-aged men in suits walked towards Dover Aymon amid the reporters' cameras. The leader revealed his identity and humbly said to Dover Aymon, "I am Su Sheng, who was sent by the relevant department to receive Mr. Aymon. Mr. Aymon can call me TOM. I will be responsible for all arrangements for Mr. Aymon's activities in Baiyun City. You can contact me if you have any needs."
Facing such a humble official representative, Dover Amon felt that all this was natural. He accepted it all with peace of mind. After casually answering a few reporters' questions at the airport, he followed Ren Pingsheng into the Audi 100.
As soon as he sat down, Su Sheng couldn't wait to speak, "Mr. Aimon, first of all, welcome to Baiyun City to inspect the work. Our Baiyun City has been a central city for foreign trade since ancient times, and it is also a frontier of reform and opening up. It has considerable advantages in terms of policies and talents."
Dover Amon nodded slightly and said, "I know."
Su Sheng was even more excited when he heard this, and he introduced it more vigorously, "At present, our Baiyun City's science and technology supporting industries are second to none in the country. Anything that can be manufactured in the country can be produced in Baiyun City. If Mr. Aimon invests in our Baiyun City, he can easily find everything he needs ."
Dover Amon said indifferently: "I have heard everything you said, so I will consider it."
The car drove all the way to the Marriott Hotel. As soon as he entered the hotel, Su Sheng shouted to the front desk: "Is the best suite I asked you to prepare ready?"
The lobby manager hurried over and said humbly, "Everything is ready."
Su Sheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good. It is an honor for your Marriott Hotel to have Mr. Aimon stay here. You must do a good job of receiving him. Do you hear me? In other words, Mr. Aimon can stay as long as he wants. You can prepare whatever he needs. He is a Westerner and likes Western food. You should prepare more steak and red wine. There is a time difference between overseas and here, so you must have a team of chefs on call 24 hours a day to let Mr. Aimon eat the best Western food anytime, anywhere."
"Yes, yes, we will definitely do a good job of reception."
"That's more like it. If you can satisfy Mr. Aimon, I will approve our official reception form as soon as possible."
After making arrangements for Dover Amon, Su Sheng urgently found several executives from high-tech companies and asked them to arrange an invitation for Dover Amon to visit.
Although some of the factories were not happy about it, there was nothing they could do as this was the official will, so they had to agree to it.
In the next few days, Su Sheng took it upon himself to visit many high-tech companies with Dover Amon. During the visit, no matter how confidential the department or workshop was, as long as Dover Amon said a word, Su Sheng would not hesitate to visit the company regardless of whether the company would object. Those companies dared not speak out.
After visiting for a few days, Su Sheng felt that he had learned enough, so he said carefully: "Mr. Aimon, I believe you have fully witnessed the strong production capacity and manufacturing level of our Baiyun City in the past few days. I wonder what Mr. Aimon's attitude is towards investing in our Baiyun City?"
Dover Aymon said: "I am really impressed by the visit these days. I also learned about some of your high-tech companies through other channels. I am optimistic about a private enterprise and am willing to invest in a joint venture. After the success, I can bring the most advanced foreign technology here."
The most advanced technology abroad!
Hearing these words, Su Sheng's eyes lit up. If this could be accomplished, what a great achievement it would be!
"No problem! I believe our company will be very happy to cooperate with Mr. Amon. I wonder which company Mr. Amon is referring to?"
Dover Amon said: "Mingyuan Technology."
Without thinking twice, Su Sheng boasted, "No problem. I'll go talk to them."
That afternoon, Su Sheng couldn't wait to come to Mingyuan Technology, find Song Honglin, and explain Dover Amon's intention to invest in Mingyuan Technology.
After hearing Su Sheng's arrangements, Song Honglin felt terrible.
A foreigner was just driven away by Mr. Lu, and now he’s coming again?
Although Su Sheng was a prominent figure, he still had to refuse. Song Honglin said, "Mingyuan Technology is developing well now and does not need external funds for the time being."
Su Sheng was unhappy when he heard this. Wasn't this a disrespect to his authority? He immediately scolded, "Do you know who Mr. Amon is? He is a billionaire in Israel and a technical expert in flash drives! Now he has come all the way to Xia Country, willing to pay money and teach advanced technology. He is so sincere, and you actually refuse? Is this reasonable?"
Song Honglin said: "That being said, in this field, we have the most advanced technology and necessary patents."
Su Sheng was immediately furious, slammed the table, and shouted, "Don't be ungrateful! Do you believe that I can make your company go bankrupt?"
Faced with such a threat, Song Honglin had no choice but to call Lu Yiming for instructions.
