Chapter 52: A Small Goal of 100 Million
The Internet cafe membership recharge incident almost made Lu Yiming explode with shock. At the same time, he finally understood why so many people still chose to go down the path of illegal fund-raising even though they knew they were breaking the law - there was no other way, it was just too tempting, and the money came quickly.
This was in the 1990s, when a small profit could attract more than 30 million yuan a day. How could the investment plans of later generations that easily offered a return rate of 50% or 60% not be attractive?
Although I will have to pay a hefty amount of interest in half a year, think about it brightly. I have enough money to buy a store and computers, right?
Although this incident caused quite a stir, it did not cause much disturbance in Lu Yiming's life. He continued to supervise the decoration and equipment commissioning of other stores.
However, before the peaceful days had even lasted a few days, Lu Yiming received another call from Li Yiwen.
Li Yiwen was so anxious that he couldn't speak clearly on the phone: "This morning, the number of people recharging increased several times for no apparent reason. Now the store is full of people."
"Oh my god? What's going on? Wasn't our event cancelled?"
After hearing this, Lu Yiming was very puzzled. He wondered if he could still live a peaceful life.
Li Yiwen was also very upset: "Yes, but those people didn't listen. They also said that he came all the way from another place, and if we don't recharge them, they will smash our store."
"What the hell? Is there still any law?"
When Lu Yiming heard that someone was going to smash his store, he couldn't help but ask, "Are people so wild nowadays?"
Li Yiwen was quite helpless: "The king's law? The county magistrate might as well manage it now. What can we do if they start to make trouble? Anyway, you should hurry over now. A fight is about to break out here."
Lu Yiming snorted, and then his mind raced, and he made a decision : "If you want to top up, just let them do it. A bunch of idiots are rushing to give me money, and you want me to hide it like a thief. Why? Let them top up as much as they want!"
Exactly 20 years have passed since the reform and opening up. Today, the Xia Kingdom has completely entered a manic era, and the people's desire for money is extremely fanatical.
But many people didn't know how to make money, so throughout the 1990s, all kinds of frauds and scams were rampant among the people, and many people were cheated by scammers, and they were cheated over and over again.
However, even so, there are still countless people who continue to jump into the pit.
All I can say is that there are too many fools and not enough liars.
At first, Lu Yiming obviously just wanted to get a few million dollars for free, but a bunch of idiots came to him and offered him money. If you don't want it, they will think you look down on them and get angry.
This is really hard to deal with.
After being reborn and encountering such a painful situation, after thinking about it, Lu Yiming was also infected by this era and the wildness in his heart was awakened.
You guys are just going to give me money, right? Okay, since I can't stop you, I'll take it all. Anyway, the more rubles you put in, the more money you earn.
Lu Yiming decided to go all out this time!
"Ah? Keep collecting money?"
Lu Yiming's decision shocked Li Yiwen.
"Well, go on."
Lu Yiming's tone was very confident. Since things had come to this, he might as well just let go and make a big move.
"Half a year later..."
Li Yiwen thought that if he let everyone collect them, after half a year, all the fish would be washed clean and he wouldn't be able to pay for them even if he sold them by the pound in the entertainment clubs in Dongguan City.
Lu Yiming was very confident about this: "Don't worry, cousin, just collect the money. If I can't even handle this situation, how can I take you out for a good meal?"
"That's enough. Is this the time to brag?"
Li Yiwen held his forehead and sighed that he was probably on a pirate ship this time and couldn't get off.
People outside are unaware of Lu Yiming's identity and assets, but doesn't Li Yiwen know it?
An ordinary high school student, whose family is at most well-off, has a personal savings of about 2.5 million yuan.
What else?
Lu Yiming is in debt!
The seven million yuan for buying a house was not paid!
The two million dollar computer payment has not been paid!
Now there are tens of millions more members recharging. If we let it go, the debt will exceed 100 million in a minute. With such a huge amount of money, if we can't pay it back next year, everyone will have to line up to be shot!
Li Yiwen felt that Lu Yiming was simply crazy.
However, on the one hand, public opinion was overwhelming, and on the other hand, Lu Yiming repeatedly assured that there was no problem and that he had many money-making projects. Li Yiwen finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Okay, since you said so, then I'll go all out. Anyway, the poster says that the event will last for three weeks, so I'll let them do it freely in these three weeks!"
"Um."
Three weeks passed quickly. After Li Yiwen deposited the last sum of money into the bank, he called Lu Yiming and said, "After this event, we have raised more than 126 million yuan!"
He was a little scared because the money was too much and if he was not careful, the consequences would be disastrous.
Being able to raise so much money at once gave Lu Yiming a new understanding of how wealthy people were in the 1990s.
"These days, these idiots are actually so rich. Aren't they afraid that I will just run away? More than 100 million."
After hearing this number, Lu Yiming felt that this world was so fucking magical. No wonder so many people wanted to be scammers. There were really too many leeks and it would be a pity not to harvest them.
Li Yiwen took a deep breath, feeling relieved. "Anyway, the event is finally over. I have asked people to remove all the promotional posters."
"Well, you've all worked hard during this period. Let's open the store as normal. I've debugged the equipment in the new store, so you can keep an eye on the opening. As for me, I have to figure out how to spend the more than 100 million yuan."
There is only half a year left, and this more than 100 million yuan must not only offset inflation, but also increase in value by at least 40% in order to make money, otherwise it will be a waste of time.
In Lu Yiming's initial plan, he had not thought of raising so much money. Suddenly, there was more than 100 million yuan that was not planned. Now he is in great pain.
"do not care."
"Just do it!"
With such a huge amount of funds in his hands, Lu Yiming gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try. When it comes to starting a business, the bold ones will die of overeating while the timid ones will die of starvation. He holds so many wealth codes, so why would he be afraid of losing money?
As if the shackles in his heart had been broken, Lu Yiming's mind suddenly became clear. He took out his cell phone and called Zheng Zhiguang in Hong Kong. The first thing he said was, "Hello, Manager Zheng, I want to discuss a big deal with you."
