Chapter 501: The Golden Body is Completed
Hong Kong.
Li Chaoren sat on the leather sofa with his legs crossed, holding a latest newspaper in his hand.
After reading the newspaper, he looked gloomy and looked at Li Kai who was sitting next to him. He asked in a deep voice: "Did you ask someone to do this?"
Before, in order to flatter Lu Yiming, Li Chaoren sponsored Hurun to organize the Hurun Rich List, and it was held for two consecutive years, which completely ruined Lu Yiming's plan to make a fortune in a low-key manner. With such a precedent, when Li Chaoren saw the news that Lu Yiming made a lot of money in the newspaper, of course the first person he thought of was Li Kai.
Li Kai looked depressed and said immediately, "It's really not me this time. You know me. I've been busy with Cyberport's affairs recently. How can I have the time? And I'm not a fool. I exposed Lu's assets before, which was to flatter him. If I do this now, won't it just encourage his arrogance?"
As the saying goes, it can happen once or twice, but not three or four times.
To praise Lu Yiming as the richest man is like roasting him on the fire, but everything has a limit. Now Lu Yiming is already the richest man in mainland Xia, and his assets continue to surge to three times the original amount. That is not flattery, but creating an invincible golden body for Lu Yiming!
Naturally, Li Kai would not do such a stupid thing to help his opponent succeed, so he quickly distanced himself from the matter.
Li Chaoren was relieved to see that he was not lying, but he could not help but sigh: "That must be someone Lu Yiming hired to do it. Young people nowadays really should not be underestimated."
It has to be said that Li Chaoren felt a sense of pressure from Lu Yiming, although the two are still not opponents of the same level.
But Lu Yiming is in the mainland, and his investments in Hong Kong are mainly in the financial industry, and are deeply rooted in the grassroots. It is almost impossible for Li Chaoren to deal with him.
This made him very uncomfortable, not to mention that after this incident, the officials of Xia Country would probably notice Lu Yiming's existence and even be willing to make efforts to protect him in order to prove that Xia Country's reform and opening-up policy was effective and absolutely correct.
Li Chaoren was not completely ignorant of politics, and he immediately instructed Li Kai: "Since it was not you who did it, then give up targeting Lu Yiming for the time being."
Leaving immediately asked unconvincedly: "Why? Are we just going to let him be so arrogant?"
The Li family has been fleeced so much by Lu Yiming, but now Superman Li says he will not target Lu Yiming anymore. This makes Li Kai really confused.
Shouldn't we take advantage of Lu Yiming's lack of wings and make every effort to crush him to death?
Think about it, Lu Yiming is still so small, but he dares to attack the Li family. If Lu Yiming is allowed to continue to develop, what kind of crazy things he will do is something Li Kai dare not even think about .
Seeing that Li Kai was so inconsiderate, Li Chaoren was a little angry and said loudly: "Fool, businessmen can stay out of politics, but they must understand politics. Now that Lu Yiming has completed his golden body, he will definitely be a guest of honor for the mainland government. If you want to deal with him, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the mainland? Do you still want to do business in the mainland?"
"this……"
After Li Chaoren's reminder, Li Kai immediately understood the seriousness of the matter and couldn't help feeling worried.
Firstly, it is just as Li Chaoren said, now that Lu Yiming has become a golden body, continuing to target him is likely to offend the authorities.
The government will not reason with you. Since ancient times, there have been scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. If a businessman offends the government, he will not have a good ending.
Secondly, Li Kai was afraid that he had not thought of this. Although he was the only one in the Li family who managed the huge industry with Li Chaoren, he was not without brothers and sisters. If he performed poorly and Li Chaoren thought he was not good enough, Li Chaoren might support someone else to take the position. At that time, not to mention further advancement, the family status that was within his grasp would be lost.
But then, Li Kai felt very depressed again.
"The great Li family has worked hard for decades across the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong to build up the current situation . Can't they do anything to Lu Yiming, who has only risen for a year or two? Dad, are you too cautious? Our size is much larger than Lu Yiming's. The authorities can't target our Li family just for a young boy like him, right?"
Li Chaoren sighed and said, "That's not necessary. Nothing lasts forever. He's in the limelight right now, so let's stay out of the spotlight for now. When he falls, we'll have the chance to step on him a few times and crush him to death in one go."
Seeing that Li Chaoren was not going to give up on targeting Lu Yiming, but was just trying to avoid the limelight, Li Kai's fighting spirit was rekindled. He said with a smile, "You're right. There's a long way to go. I don't believe that this Lu can always be so lucky."
Zhonghai, the restaurant on the top floor of the Bund Indigo Hotel.
The entire floor was booked by Gao Yousi today just for the celebratory banquet.
It turned out that Wang Xiujie was his tool, and all of Wang Xiujie's recent operations were operated by Gao Yousi behind the scenes. He created the title of the new stock god and severely hit Lu Yiming's arrogance.
After a while, Wei Dong arrived, and Gao Yousi hurried to greet him: "Mr. Wei, it is a great honor to have you here."
Although Wei Dong was disdainful of Gao Yousi, he still said something politely: "General Manager Gao has won the first battle. How can I not come here in person to congratulate him?"
Gao Yousi's smile widened, and he said modestly, "No, no, we are allies now. If I win, doesn't that mean you win, Mr. Wei?"
Wei Dong said with a wry smile: "Haha, it's a win-win situation for both of us."
The two of them each represent the forces behind them. Even if they may not like each other in their hearts, they still do their best to save face.
Wei Dong is a fierce man from across the river with a strong background, and Gao Yousi is the local boss of Zhonghai, with many powerful supporters behind him. The reason why the two sides united is that they were under too much pressure when facing Lu Yiming.
Especially the hype about the old villas made them extremely wary of Lu Yiming's business methods, and at the same time, they were jealous of the speed at which Lu Yiming made money.
This time, the two sides joined forces, mobilized countless connections and resources, and finally succeeded in suppressing Lu Yiming's limelight.
As for Wang Xiujie, he was just a chess piece in their hands, a tool to deal with Lu Yiming.
However, even if he is a tool, he is now the stock god of China Overseas. The value of Wang Xiujie is still highly valued by Gao Yousi and Wei Dong.
Gao Yousi called Wang Xiujie over and said, "Ajie, this is Mr. Wei from Yongjin Group. Say hello quickly."
Upon learning that the young man in front of him was actually the founder of the Yongjin Group, Wang Xiujie immediately nodded and fawned on him, saying, "Boss Wei, I heard that your Zhijin Investment Company was listed in Zhongguancun Science Park two months ago, and more than 100 million yuan of capital has been injected into more than ten high-tech companies. This move will definitely become a surprise weapon for Yongjin to win the GEM. This is simply a textbook-like classic operation example."
When talking about this, Wei Dong couldn't help showing a bit of complacency on his face, but he said casually: "No, no, you are the stock god now, what am I?"
Most of the companies he invested in have strong industry competitiveness and expansion capabilities, and many of them are established on the Growth Enterprise Market. This means that once the Growth Enterprise Market opens, Yongjin's more than 100 million yuan equity investment will get a return rate of more than ten times or even dozens of times.
It has to be said that although Wei Dong has a family background in education and has excellent connections provided by his father, he is by no means a fool but has real abilities.
Although Wang Xiujie is known as the stock god of China Overseas, he knows his own worth. No matter how loud the media and magazines praise him, in his opinion, it is nothing compared to pocketing a large amount of cash .
Therefore, Wang Xiujie really wanted to get on board with Wei Dong. So he continued, "In the financial world, I am not a stock god. When it comes to capital operation, you, Mr. Wei, are the real god."
Gao Yousi saw Wang Xiujie fawning on Wei Dong, but he felt a little unhappy. He introduced Wang Xiujie to Wei Dong, not to make Wang Xiujie change his ways. Seeing that Wang Xiujie, whom he had supported, was now trying to cling to Wei Dong, he cursed him in his heart as a traitor.
Instantly, Gao Yousi began to dislike Wang Xiujie, and immediately interrupted with a cold face and said, "Okay, let's stop chatting and get ready to eat."
Other guests arrived one after another. Gao Yousi went to greet them, but he had no intention of introducing Wang Xiujie to them.
Soon after, the guests arrived and Gao Yousi began to prepare the feast.
During the dinner , Gao Yousi filled everyone's glasses, raised his glass high, and said, "Today, I invited everyone here mainly to celebrate Wang Xiujie's success in becoming the stock god of Zhonghai. We in the Zhonghai business circle should be united in this way. Come, thank you all for your kindness, and leave one by one."
Although Gao Yousi did not say who this "external" was directed at, everyone present today knew that Gao Yousi and Dami Capital were targeting the richest man.
After all, the two parties had a feud over the investment in Zhenxiang fast food, and this matter has long been known to everyone in Zhonghai.
It would be strange if Gao Yousi, who was so humiliated, could swallow this insult.
As for dealing with Lu Yiming, the people present also thought it was no big deal. He was just the richest man in name only. If one really counted the assets, there were many people richer than Lu Yiming. When would it be Lu Yiming's turn to be the richest man in the mainland? It was just that everyone was keeping a low profile.
As the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. Only those country bumpkins with no cultural background would think of showing off their wealth.
Looking at the entire world, none of the so-called lists related to wealth came from Xia Country. Only those frivolous people with empty heads would take pleasure in this and never get tired of it.
It was normal for everyone to look down on Lu Yiming. In this fierce and turbulent era, with so many heroes vying for supremacy, who would truly be convinced by whom?
What's more, when it comes to profits, of course the fewer people there are to share the better. Excluding Lu Yiming is a tacit understanding in the local investment circle of Zhonghai.
Gao Yousi organized this banquet to convey a message to everyone: we are all in the China Overseas business circle, and China Overseas' money should be earned by the China Overseas business circle. Everyone should work together to squeeze Lu Yiming out .
While everyone was talking, several people suddenly received calls almost at the same time.
After answering the phone, their faces changed drastically.
"Boss Gao, I suddenly received a call. There is something urgent at the company. You guys eat and drink well. I will go back to deal with the matter first."
"I suddenly received a call here, saying that my family needs me to go back. I'm really sorry, you guys should have a few more drinks."
At that moment, several people stood up and said goodbye.
This made those present feel puzzled, especially Gao Yousi. He organized a banquet, and so many people left in the middle of it, which made him feel a little embarrassed. He immediately stopped someone and said, "Old Shen, you are a heavy drinker, and you want to leave after just a few drinks?"
Old Shen looked bitter and said, "Brother, I'm really sorry this time. I will definitely treat you to tea to make amends some other day."
Having said that, he turned and walked away without even attempting to explain what had happened.
After these people left, the rest of the people looked at each other.
Gao Yousi snorted and said, "This old Shen usually comes whenever he's called for a drink, but what happened to him today? Looking at his expression, is it because his father died or his wife died?"
One of them grinned and said, "His father died a long time ago. As for his dead wife, that's a happy event, right? I heard that their relationship had broken down a long time ago. I also heard that when he got home from get off work early that time, he saw his wife..."
Another person said: "Haha, getting promoted, getting rich, and having a wife die, these are the three happiest things for men. Is it necessary to look sad?"
Although everyone was joking, the fact that these people left midway still made Gao Yousi feel that they were slapping him in the face.
At this moment, a subordinate knocked on the door, came in with a fax, and said to Gao Yousi: "Mr. Gao, this is a fax just sent back from Hong Kong."
"Show it to me."
After reading the contents of the fax, Gao Yousi's blood pressure soared and he almost fainted from anger. He sat down heavily on the chair.
Wei Dong took the fax and looked very unhappy after reading it. He even muttered to himself, "How is this possible?"
The others suddenly became curious and stretched their necks.
"What happened?"
"Boss Wei, what's wrong?"
“Is there a new policy?”
There is no doubt that the thing that could cause several people to suddenly leave their seats and shocked Gao Yousi and Wei Dong must not be something that happened to any one company, but must be a major event on the level of a major earthquake in the industry!
Wei Dong sighed, put the fax in front of everyone, and said, "You can read it for yourselves."
"Let me see."
A man took the fax from Wei Dong's hand, and when he saw it, his face changed drastically, and he blurted out: "How is this possible?"
"Come on, let me see, what happened?"
The other person took it and looked at it, then he slapped his thigh and said, "Holy crap, is this real?"
After a while, the fax was passed around among everyone.
After watching it, everyone's faces looked unhappy, and they suddenly felt unable to eat the delicacies in front of them.
Then, everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Xiujie.
This young man is known as the new stock god, but now, his image in the eyes of the public is completely different.
What a new stock god! He simply has no idea of his own limitations.
"Twenty-two and three hundred million, Mr. Jin, how much is twenty-two and three hundred million?"
"How the hell do I know how much that is? I don't have it."
"This Lu Yiming always has something new to offer us."
"Hey, he is now the richest man in mainland China. Putting aside state-owned enterprises, in terms of personal assets, no one in mainland China can compare with him."
"He should have 50 billion now, right?"
"I don't know, but there should be. Although the Hurun Report is detailed, who knows if he is hiding anything?"
After reading the fax, everyone started talking about it, and the focus of all the topics revolved around Lu Yiming.
This made Gao Yousi's face turn pale.
It was clearly him who invited everyone to the celebration party today!
As a result, it now feels like a seminar about Lu Yiming!
After reading the fax, Wang Xiujie didn't know what to say.
He knew very well that he was Gao Yousi's tool, so in fact this was a struggle between Lu Yiming and Gao Yousi. However, as a financial practitioner, Wang Xiujie, who was also a young man, was very dissatisfied with Lu Yiming's dazzling talent, but Lu Yiming was so far ahead that he could not catch up even if he wanted to.
Wei Dong also felt aggrieved.
He invested 100 million yuan, worked hard in the capital market, and made more than 2 billion yuan. He was already hailed as a genius.
But look at Lu Yiming, what the hell is this guy doing?
He had been proud of it before, but people are afraid of being compared with each other.
Now compared with Lu Yiming's big move, he suddenly became a clown.
Even if his investment luck is extremely good and his money makes twenty times the money, what good will it matter?
Isn't it still not even a fraction of what Lu Yiming earns?
For a moment, even he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, not to mention those so-called allies who were deceived by Gao Yousi.
After this happened, who would still want to go against the richest man?
Are you kidding? So what if they banned Lu Yiming in the country?
Lu Yiming can still make money in the United States, and he makes more and more!
Instead of doing this, why not make friends with the richest man? Maybe there will be a chance to make some money in the US stock market together?
You always have to have some dreams in life, what if they come true?
For a moment, everyone present was eager to distance themselves from Gao Yousi.
"Mr. Gao, I remembered that I'm still cooking at home, so I'll leave first."
"Boss Gao, I just drank too much. I'm going back to sleep. You guys eat and drink well."
"Mr. Gao, I just made an appointment with a female college student. I'll go over and take a look."
Such an unreliable reason, even if you use your hair to think, you can figure out what's going on.
Gao Yousi went crazy, yelled like a gorilla, and then overturned the table.
Then, his eyes went dark and he slumped in his chair, losing consciousness.
Wang Xiujie was startled, pushed him and shouted, "Boss Gao."
"high……"
He looked around and found that he was the only one standing in the banquet hall. Boundless fear suddenly enveloped him, and an indescribable uneasiness instantly overwhelmed him.
