Chapter 527: You have the same name as the richest man, what a coincidence
After hearing what Lu Yiming said, Qian Hongli couldn't help but greet him politely: "Oh my god, you are the major shareholder of this company, and you still want me to pay you for advertising? Are you kidding me?"
For a moment, the phone was filled with happy laughter.
But when someone is happy, it means someone is unhappy.
China Overseas, General Manager’s Office of Maigu Fund Company.
Jin Mai, who had just received a scolding after answering the phone, sat on a chair with a gloomy expression, reading the newspaper in his hand.
After the program on China Overseas Financial Channel was broadcast, no one discussed the topic of the portal's external business potential. Everyone was talking about the price reduction of computers and the story between Lu Yiming and Bill Gates.
This made Jin Michael feel uncomfortable, because Maigu Fund was backed by American capital and had invested in many good-looking Internet companies in Xia Country.
But now, the portal website is about to fail and the huge investment is about to go down in flames!
In order to recover the losses, according to the original plan, Jinmai wanted to stir up the topic and stir up the heat. Even if there was controversy, it was great. At least people were paying attention to and discussing the portal website, which gave them room for maneuver. The worst situation was the current one, where no one cared and it was impossible to operate.
Jin Mai was so tired from reading the newspaper that he just lay back, rubbing his temple and muttering, "This is fucking bad. This can't go on."
"Ding-ling-ling..."
The cell phone rang, Jin Mai picked up the phone and flipped it to answer it.
"Hello?"
Peng Dingguo's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Boss Jin, this is Peng Dingguo, my balance..."
Jin Mai, who was originally upset, heard Peng Dingguo's voice and immediately thought of the program that specially cut out Peng Dingguo's exit as a trailer. She felt even more upset and cursed, "I'm following you. You still have the nerve to ask me for money? I didn't even ask you to return the money!"
"We agreed to do a program, argue with Lu Yiming, and put forward the relevant opinions of the portal website. What happened? You recorded the beginning of your program and the people ran away. Do you know how much loss we have suffered?"
Peng Dingguo also looked aggrieved, and defended himself: "Boss Jin, what you said, can you blame me for this matter? It was obviously that Lu Yiming who was not a good person. He came up with the bet and made a fuss. What can I do?"
"That's your business."
How could Jin Mai sympathize with Peng Dingguo? He didn't give him any face at all and said directly in a tough manner: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Return the advance payment within three days, otherwise, you can expect to receive a lawyer's letter."
When Peng Dingguo heard that he would not only not get the balance but also have to return the advance payment, he immediately became angry and shouted: "I say, you are still reasonable? Do you think I am easy to bully? I am warning you... Hey? Hey!"
Before Peng Dingguo could finish his words, Jin Mai hung up the phone.
In Jinmai's eyes, Peng Dingguo's value as a tool has completely disappeared. With such a stain, he will never be able to survive in the financial circle in the future, so just ignore him.
But the matter still had to be resolved. Jin Mai thought about it and finally came up with a plan. He called the secretary outside the door and said, "Please help me arrange a meal with Wang Xiujie from Wan Guo Securities. The location is set on the top floor of the Bund Hotel."
"OK."
On the weekend, Lu Yiming, Ni Cong and others went to the Bund to have a barbecue buffet. Shi Qingxue and Wu Mengmeng also brought the girls from dormitory 501 to join the social gathering.
Everyone was having a great time chatting while eating barbecue and drinking beer.
Wu Mengmeng asked Lu Yiming: "Recently there is a Zhonghai Little Stock God who is very active and specializes in teaching retail investors how to trade stocks. I heard that the registration fee is 2,000 yuan. Do you think he is reliable?"
Two thousand yuan is not a small amount, but compared to the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars won or lost in the stock market, it seems very insignificant.
Lu Yiming smiled and asked back: "You don't need to ask me about this kind of thing. Just ask yourself, if you can get rich by speculating in stocks, will you pass on the secret of getting rich to others?"
Wu Mengmeng immediately came to her senses: "No! If I had this ability, wouldn't it be nice to make my own fortune?"
Lu Yiming joked, "Yes, the truth is very simple. Who would teach others a skill that can really make money? Is it because there are not enough people in the same field, or because they have met their long-lost son? So think about it, are they teaching you how to make money, or are they just trying to make money from you?"
Then, Lu Yiming became curious again and asked, "Why are you suddenly interested in stock trading?"
Wu Mengmeng said angrily: "It's not me, it's mainly my mom. She heard from somewhere that stock trading is very profitable, so she wanted to sign up and give it a try."
Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows and asked, "Has she signed up?"
Wu Mengmeng said: "Not yet."
Lu Yiming sighed and said, "Fortunately I didn't try it, otherwise I would have died. Stock trading is something that only people with spare money can do, and you must have strong enough reason and self-control. For example, before you enter the stock market, you must set a stop loss point for yourself. Once the loss reaches a certain level, you must immediately sell your stocks. At the same time, you must also set a stop profit point for yourself. Once you make a certain amount of money, cash it out immediately. Don't be greedy."
To put it bluntly, you have to be able to afford to lose, but also know when to quit and only make money within your own knowledge, rather than relying on luck and playing the greater fool game with others.
Wang Dazhuang sighed, "There are so many tricks to stock trading? It's like psychology, so mysterious."
Then, Wang Dazhuang said, "By the way, I have to thank you for recommending those stocks to us last time. Dacongming and I both made a lot of money. But the money we made was confusing and beyond our cognitive scope. It seems that if we want to get rich in the future, we still have to focus on the operation of the company and make money within our cognitive scope."
Ni Cong said unhappily: "Wang Dazhuang, you called me Dacongming again."
Lu Yiming said with relief: "That's the right way to think. The money that was earned unclearly will be lost unclearly one day."
Wu Mengmeng held Shi Qingxue's hand and asked reluctantly, "Xiaoxue, I heard from my dad that the old house you bought has been renovated. Are you going to move in with Lu Yiming?"
Liu Huijun looked longing and said, "Yan Family Garden! This is the most expensive mansion in Zhonghai! I wonder what it will look like after it's renovated."
Sun Xiaoxia said , "Xiaoxue, take us to broaden our horizons."
Shi Qingxue looked at Lu Yiming, and Lu Yiming immediately said, "Okay, we'll go after we finish eating."
After eating the barbecue, everyone got into two cars and came to Yan’s Garden .
Compared with its previous dilapidated state, the Yan Family Garden has naturally changed its appearance today.
The two-person-high wrought iron wall is covered with vines, and through the gaps you can vaguely see the red brick walls and stained glass windows inside.
After unlocking the door, a two-meter-wide cobblestone path winds its way through the green lawn and leads directly to the main body of the octagonal building.
There are several sturdy sycamore trees on the lawn, which are said to have been planted by the first owner.
Walking along the cobblestone path, everyone arrived at the entrance of the villa.
The six steps raise the visual center of gravity of the building, making it look more magnificent. On both sides of the steps, there is a Roman column as thick as a man's embrace, connecting the corridors on the left and right. The corridor leads to the backyard along the wall, which is quite interesting.
When you push open the newly renovated door, the first thing that catches your eye is the huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling in the center. This crystal chandelier is composed of 99 light bulbs, and the light bulbs and crystal pieces are intertwined and staggered. It is not just a headlight, but also an eye-catching decoration in the living room.
The floor is paved with terrazzo decorated with octagonal patterns, and the center where all the lines of the octagon intersect faces the crystal chandelier above.
Opposite the main door is a spiral staircase that leads directly to the second floor. There are sofas on both sides, and next to the sofas is a tea table with a blackened iron and glass panel.
There is a fireplace on the wall for heating.
Entrances to the kitchen, bathroom and other places are hidden behind the spiral staircase, giving the first floor a strong sense of integrity.
The entire furnishings on the first floor are well-arranged and unique. Although there are no gold, silver, jade or other precious stone decorations, it exudes an aura of elegance and luxury.
Wu Mengmeng said enviously: "If I lived here, I would probably wake up laughing in my dreams."
Liu Huijun agreed: "Yes, this looks so comfortable."
Lu Yiming said: "Let's go upstairs and take a look."
Follow the spiral staircase to the second floor. The first thing you see is a wooden corridor that connects the rooms to the left and right.
There are eight rooms in total on the second floor. From the outside, they appear to be arranged side by side in pairs, but the entrances are staggered to ensure that you cannot see the opposite room at a glance.
Every room has good lighting, with sunlight shining in through the windows and through the doors, illuminating the hall.
Walking into the nearest room, Liu Huijun couldn't help but exclaimed: "This room is bigger than my entire house!"
The room is several dozen square meters, with an oversized European classical Simmons bed, cream-colored bedside tables and dressing tables, and a wardrobe and shoe cabinet with sliding doors, and is neatly arranged.
In Zhonghai, owning a two-bedroom, one-living-room house is the ultimate goal that many people need to strive for all their lives. However, the Yan Family Garden in front of us is only the area of one room, but it is this big!
For Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue, a luxury house like Yan Family Garden is just one of the properties under their name.
You know, Lu Yiming bought dozens of such old houses at the same time.
Wu Mengmeng's eyes were almost full of stars. She hugged Shi Qingxue's arm and acted coquettishly: "Xiaoxue, I really envy you."
Wang Dazhuang was also very excited and immediately made a bold statement: "One day, I will live in such a super luxury house!"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Build up the brand of Zhenxiang Fast Food. You will be able to achieve this goal sooner or later. I will leave two of my old houses for you."
After hearing this, several girls in dormitory 501 became interested.
Now that Lu Yiming is taken, several girls don’t think they can compete with Shi Qingxue. Wu Mengmeng and Wang Dazhuang have also started dating, but Ni Cong is still single!
For a moment, Liu Huijun and Sun Xiaoxia's gazes drifted towards Ni Cong intentionally or unintentionally.
After visiting the mansion, everyone returned to school.
As soon as they entered the dormitory, Lu Yiming teased Ni Cong, "Hey, smart guy, which one do you like, Liu Huijun or Sun Xiaoxia?"
While visiting the Yan family garden, the two women's eyes kept drifting towards Ni Cong, and even a blind person could see what they were thinking.
However, Ni Cong shook his head and said, "I don't like any of them."
Wang Dazhuang was surprised and said, "Huh? No way, I remember you said before that you liked Liu Huijun?"
Ni Cong sighed and said seriously, "At that time, I had just entered university and didn't know anything. In addition, I was very depressed in high school, so I wanted to find a girl as soon as possible to get out of being single. But now it's different. Women will only slow down my sword-drawing speed!"
Lu Yiming said with a look of disdain: "I see, it's obvious that your standards have become higher and more picky."
Although Liu Huijun and Sun Xiaoxia cannot be said to be ugly, it is hard to say that they are very beautiful either. If the full score for appearance is 10, both of them are about 7 points, and Wu Mengmeng can barely get 9 points thanks to her figure.
After Lu Yiming revealed his thoughts, Ni Cong was not embarrassed to admit it, and said openly: "Lu Yiming still understands me. If I want to date now, I have to find a beauty who is at least the most beautiful in the department, not to mention the most beautiful girl in the school. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing."
Before, he was just a poor student. After deducting necessary expenses such as food, the money he had available every month was less than 100 yuan, so it was naturally impossible for him to ask for too much.
But now it’s different. Whether it’s the booming performance of Zhenxiang Fast Food or the money he made from stock trading under Lu Yiming’s guidance, he has positioned himself differently.
Wang Dazhuang was shocked and said, "Good fellow, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"
Ni Cong glared at Wang Dazhuang and said, "Get lost. You are not much better than me. If Wu Mengmeng wasn't beautiful and had a good figure, you would still be tempted by someone else."
Wang Dazhuang retorted: "I'm different. I fell in love at first sight and I'll be faithful to you forever, okay?"
Ni Cong was extremely contemptuous: "Don't give me that. I think you are just attracted by her beauty."
While the two were bickering, Lu Yiming suddenly received a call from Li Quanwang.
"Hello? Wangzai."
Li Quanwang said, "Zha Ming, a company called Jinmai Fund sent me an invitation letter, saying that they are attending a high-end investor gathering. Do you want to come?"
Lu Yiming frowned slightly and said worriedly, "What is Jinmai Fund? How come I haven't heard of it? And it's a gathering of high-end investors. Are you joining some weird organization?"
Lu Yiming thought he knew Li Quanwang quite well. In fact, he was even more ordinary than all the ordinary people. Now that he had some spare money, Lu Yiming was worried that he might have been bewitched by someone with ulterior motives.
Li Quanwang quickly explained, "What a weird organization. Didn't you recommend a few stocks to me before? I opened an account at Wan Guo Securities. I guess they knew I made money, so they recommended some financial products to me. As for this Jinmai Fund, I heard it's very powerful and has a great background. I should be able to meet a lot of people there. How about it? You're free now anyway, so why don't you accompany me?"
Obviously, Li Quanwang has now begun to try to take the initiative to contact the upper-class social circles, but he lacks confidence, so he wants to drag Lu Yiming along.
Lu Yiming thought about it, still feeling a little worried, so he agreed: "Okay, I'll go with you. When the time comes, call me and we'll drive over."
"OK."
On the day of the investor gathering, Li Quanwang called and Lu Yiming asked Zhao Tiezhu to drive to the Huanpeng Hotel that Zhao Tiezhu mentioned.
At the entrance of the hotel, Lu Yiming saw Li Quanwang. Next to Li Quanwang stood a burly man.
Li Quanwang was very happy to see Lu Yiming coming. He walked down the stairs in two steps and came to Lu Yiming 's side.
"You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Li Quanwang pulled Lu Yiming to the burly man and said, "Come, let me introduce you. This is a friend I just met. He is from the Northeast and is very generous. I met him when I went to the stock exchange to open an account."
"Hello, my name is Xu Dadan, and I'm in the mink fur business. If you need anything in this area, just come to me. I guarantee you'll get a 30% discount."
Xu Dabing has the boldness that is unique to people from Northeast China, and his speech is full of energy.
Li Quanwang introduced Xu Dadan to him, "Xu Dadan, this is my classmate, Lu Yiming."
Xu Dabing looked at Lu Yiming with a stunned expression, then laughed loudly: "Lu Yiming? Your classmate has the same name as the richest man, hahahaha."
Li Quanwang was about to explain, but Lu Yiming said, "Ah, haha, yes, what a coincidence. But my name is quite common."
Although Xu Dabing had read many reports about Lu Yiming, and many of them also contained shots of Lu Yiming from various angles, the key point was that Xu Dabing had never connected the Lu Yiming in front of him with that Lu Yiming!
It's like you see someone who looks like Bill Gates, and his name is indeed Bill Gates, but when this Bill Gates stands in front of you, you probably wouldn't dare to easily and directly identify him as Bill Gates himself.
Because, in your subconscious mind, you would never think that Bill Gates, the world's richest man, might be standing in front of you.
At this moment, several Rolls-Royce Silver Angels appeared at the entrance of the hotel from afar, attracting everyone's attention.
At present, the Rolls-Royce Silver Angel is the most luxurious car that can be bought in the mainland.
Jin Mai and Wang Xiujie got out of the car.
Some reporters recognized their identities and quickly pointed their cameras at them, taking pictures frantically.
"This is Jin Mai, the founder of Jin Mai Fund, and Wang Xiujie, the stock god."
"He looks really young. He is indeed a young talent."
"Today's high-level game was organized by them."
Jin Mai and Wang Xiujie walked into the hotel with their heads held high.
Reporters swarmed after him.
Xu Dadan couldn't wait to say to Li Quanwang and Lu Yiming: "Let's go in quickly. If we go too late, there may not even be room to stand."
Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Is it that exaggerated? These two people are so famous?"
Xu Dabao said in a boastful manner, "Of course not. That Wang Xiujie is the new Zhonghai stock god. I heard that he is as good at making money by speculating in stocks as the richest man Lu! Oh, by the way, the richest man Lu is Lu Yiming, who happens to have the same name as you. What a coincidence."
