Film and television urban drama starts from Nothing But Thirty
Page 554
Li Mingsi had no choice but to start her miserable life. She first found a small hotel to stay in. But what Li Mingsi didn’t know was that not long after she checked in, several people moved into the small hotel. They were naturally the bodyguards arranged by Chen Fang.
If something really happened to Li Mingsi, it would be difficult for Chen Fang to explain.
After instructing a few new apprentices in the roast duck restaurant, Li Guorong picked up a magazine and read it. He usually read newspapers when he had nothing to do, but he had a question: why did Hong Kong newspapers report everything?
Especially some gossip, they are very happy about it, and in some movie theaters, the posters above are very weird. These things will definitely be taken off the shelves in mainland China.
After a while, Li Guorong saw today’s magazine, and he didn’t expect that the protagonists in it were his family members.
After putting down the magazine, Li Guorong silently lit a cigarette. It seemed that his nephew was very popular with women, but he couldn’t do anything about these things.
All he hopes in this life is to see his grandson being born.
Speak of the devil and he will appear. Before he could say much about Li Yi, Li Yi arrived at the roast duck restaurant.
“Dad, are you busy?”
“Li Yi, why are you here? Aren’t you going to work today?”
Li Guorong had a hunch that his son’s sudden visit at this time must have caused something to happen.
“There’s not much to do at the company today, and Uncle Su asked me to leave work early, so I came to see you.”
“Oh, I see….. Nothing happened to you recently?”
“No, Dad, why are you asking?”
Li Guorong just glanced at his son without saying anything. Li Yi also understood that it must be because of the troubles he had gotten into a few times before that his father had lost some confidence.
“By the way, have you paid back your cousin in the past few months?”
If I remember correctly, my son probably owes Chen Fang a lot of money.
Li Yi said somewhat embarrassedly: “Not yet… Dad, my salary is very low now…”
“Hey, I have some savings in my hometown. I’m going back to Beijing in a few days, so I’ll bring it to you.”
In fact, in the drama, Leslie Cheung took out all his savings and exchanged them for Hong Kong dollars to pay off his son’s debts, but he encountered a currency remittance scammer, and the 300,000 yuan turned into a pile of waste paper. Leslie Cheung was so angry that he was even admitted to the hospital.
Li Yi hurriedly said, “Dad, my cousin is not in a hurry either…Besides, how can I just ask for your money?”
This would require taking out his father’s coffin book, and he was really embarrassed to agree to it.
“Don’t worry about Li Yi. Besides, we still have salaries in Hong Kong, so we should pay it back if we can… Although your cousin is not short of money, we should keep things to ourselves.”
In the drama, Leslie Cheung used his brother’s credit card and paid it back soon after. He always felt that these things should be kept separate.
“Got it, Dad.”
It is impossible for Li Yi to say that he has no regrets. He lost so much money in a hurry. Moreover, he should have followed his cousin to work if he had known earlier. Last time, he accidentally found out that those who followed Chen Fang at the beginning had received a bonus of more than one million Hong Kong dollars at the least.
But there’s no point in saying this now, I’d better just focus on working in Yuanda Group.
At the Universal Building, Li Mingjie came downstairs just after the market closed in the afternoon. He could not enter the trading room of the investment company and could only wait outside.
“Mingjie.”
“I have something to discuss with you…”
It turned out to be Liang Zitian from Beijing, who was planning to recruit him to do real estate. Li Mingjie personally thought it was a good idea… He wanted to ask Chen Fang what he thought, after all, he was the major shareholder here.
“Liang Zitian, forget it. You can’t cooperate with this person. The most important thing now is to build a team… and then start acquiring land in the mainland. The cities are mainly Pengcheng next door, Yangcheng and Shanghai. As for Beijing, I will put it on hold for now…”
The situation in the capital is a bit complicated now. If you are not careful, you may run into a second generation. Not only do you have to serve them well, but you also have to share the profits with them. Chen Fang doesn’t think there is much point in going there.
It would be better to put more effort in the neighboring Pengcheng. Chen Fang knew what Pengcheng would be like in the future. It was an emerging city that was even bigger than Hong Kong.
“But there are many rich people in Beijing…”
“Mingjie, this is wrong… It’s hard to make money in Beijing, and it’s also hard to deal with the authorities. It’s better to end in the neighboring city of Pengcheng. You know, it’s the forefront of opening up… Of course, Shanghai can’t be missed.”
The current Shanghai Stock Exchange is still called the Shanghai Stock Exchange, but after it develops further it will be called the Magic City.
Li Mingjie nodded. He still felt that Chen Fang made sense in these matters. After all, his success was just around the corner. “Okay, then I’ll focus on the next door.”
You have to know that at present, not many people can see the potential of Pengcheng, and no one would have thought that Pengcheng would directly develop into the third largest city in the country.
“If necessary, we can also acquire a small real estate company in Hong Kong, so that we will have a complete staff.”
Chen Fang was afraid that Li Mingjie would poach people from Rongkai Group. After all, he had done this many times. If Li Guokai found out one day, wouldn’t he be scolded?
“Well, do you have any favorite targets?”
There are naturally many small real estate companies in Hong Kong. Given the current sluggish market, it is estimated that many of them are for sale.
“No, you can do whatever you want…Remember not to poach people from Rongkai.”
“it is good.”
Hearing this, Li Mingjie smiled awkwardly. He had wanted to poach his father Li Guokai’s secretary before, but unfortunately the other party did not agree to work with him. Facts also proved that the other party’s vision was accurate.
The next day, at Liu Luanxiong’s investment company, he felt the tremendous pressure of the stock market as soon as he got to work. It seemed as if a big hand was controlling everything, and it was all targeting him.
Especially in the trading hall, everyone was discussing the trend chart of the Hang Seng Index.
Yesterday, the Hang Seng Index fell to 8300 points, and it closed at this point. Unexpectedly, the Hang Seng Index jumped 150 points today and opened at 840. It really made everyone feel scared!
“Damn, the Hang Seng Index jumped 150 points at the opening this morning!”
“Yeah, it’s horrible, damn!”
“If those who shorted yesterday hadn’t closed their positions, they would be crying today!”
“Tsk tsk, the opening price jumped 150 points. Luckily I didn’t make a move yesterday, otherwise I would have been on the rooftop by now.”
“Hey, it sounds like you’re feeling lost?”
“Haha, I’m thankful for my sanity yesterday.”
People in the hall were talking about it. Some had already seen the business opportunity and were ready to go in and get a piece of the pie.
Liu Luanxiong had already noticed something was wrong, but it was too late to back down and he continued to short sell 170 short orders. After selling short orders, the Hang Seng Index fell another points… With this ups and downs, the stockholders in the hall said they were worried.
However, few people born in Hong Kong do not know how to trade stocks. In particular, stock investors have very strong psychological endurance. They even survived the previous stock market crash. These can only be said to be small scenes.
Xue Dahua from Huanyu Investment came in and reported: “Mr. Chen, the other party has made another move.”
“We will place as many long orders as he places short orders.”
“Ok.”
Xue Dahua now understood that the boss knew who the other party was, and this time he was targeting him.
After Xue Dahua left the office, Chen Fang began to check the stocks of the four Chinese Estates Holdings companies. Their market values were still very low, and if Liu Luanxiong lost too much money, he might pledge his stocks.
After thinking about it, I called President Wang of Bank of China Hong Kong to arrange a meeting time, and the other party agreed very readily.
By the afternoon closing, Liu Luanxiong looked at the huge losses in his account and it was impossible for him not to feel heartbroken, especially because a large part of the money belonged to others.
He had to find someone to check who his opponent was. In fact, he already had a guess in his mind… but he just didn’t dare to believe it. After all, the opponent was always ahead of him, as if he was lying in ambush for him in every stock.
Compared to Liu Luanxiong’s bad mood, Chen Fang was in a good mood. He directly asked Xue Dahua to prepare to go to Bank of China Hong Kong.
“Mr. Chen, where are we?”
Chen Fang smiled and said, “Go check out your Labor Day.”
“Ok.”
After a while, they arrived at the Bank of China Hong Kong Building. Some people downstairs knew Xue Dahua, but they all knew that Xue Dahua was no longer someone that small employees like them could reach.
Everyone knows Hong Kong Universal Investment. My former colleague Xue Dahua is the manager of this company. He is someone that many small and medium-sized banks try to please because this may help them attract some deposits.
“Why, has there been a big change here, Manager Xue?”
“No… maybe my mindset has changed. I used to think that working here was very high-end, but now it seems just so-so.”
“With different status, your perspective will naturally be different.”
“It’s all thanks to your trust, Mr. Chen. Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
Xue Dahua could see this clearly. As a native of Hong Kong, he knew that it would be very difficult to start from scratch without the guidance of a big boss.
“You must be capable, otherwise I wouldn’t put you in such an important position.”
As they were talking, they arrived at the top floor of the Bank of China Building. The president’s office was on this floor. Bank of China Hong Kong was a very special unit. It was not only a financial institution but also had many other responsibilities.
“Hello, Mr. Chen, I am the assistant to President Wang…”
“Hello.”
“You two, please come with me.”
“Thank you.”
Later, I met President Wang in the office. I had met him once before at Li Guokai’s home. However, we didn’t have a deep conversation at that time, we just said hello.
After the three of them greeted each other, they were ready to talk about business. At this time, the assistant also came in with tea.
“You two, please have some tea.”
“Thank you.”
At this time, Xue Dahua was a little uneasy. After all, he was just a customer manager here a few months ago. How could he have the opportunity to meet the president of Bank of China Hong Kong at that time, who was the one who had the final say in the branch.
“Mr. Chen, what’s the matter with you coming here this time?”
President Wang thought that Chen Fang came here to apply for a loan or something, but after looking at the account of Rongkai Group, he found that the funds were still sufficient, several loans had not yet matured, and there were still so many interest-free loans provided by him.
“President Wang, you and Mr. Li Guokai are old friends, so I won’t hide it… This time I came here to ask you to help acquire the shares of these companies…”
After saying that, Chen Fang gave Xue Dahua a look, and the latter nodded and took out a stack of information from his bag.
“Let me take a look first…”
Bank of China Hong Kong already has investment banking business. President Wang frowned after flipping through the documents: “Mr. Chen, these should be the companies under Liu Cixin, right?”
“Yes, but… I estimate that in a few days, he will use his shares to mortgage funds everywhere…”
“I understand, but how can you be sure that the other party will find us?”
“It’s very simple. Isn’t it enough for Bank of China to provide him with the highest credit line?”
“Mr. Chen, our bank has regulations on the amount of shares that can be mortgaged…”
“President Wang, you give him the amount according to the bank’s quota. For the amount exceeding the quota… I will use the funds in my account… After the matter is completed, I will pay the highest commission in the market.”
President Wang thought for a moment and agreed. After all, this was a win-win situation with no harm. Besides, he had a good relationship with Li Guokai… Of course, he didn’t ask about other things and just gave Liu Luanxiong the loan when the time came.
After discussing this matter, Chen Fang prepared to say goodbye, and Xue Dahua also went to see his former colleagues. After all, this was considered a glorious return home.
Chapter 652: I can be ahead of you every step of the way.
He also understood the power of money. He didn’t see that his former department leaders were so polite to him, but Xue Dahua understood who brought all this to him.
Two days later, Li Guokai at home learned about this. Because of his relationship with President Wang, it would have been very easy for him to just make a phone call.
Later, Li Guokai called Chen Fang and had no choice but to go to the Li family villa at night. However, this time Chen Fang brought Li Mingjie with him. At first, he was not very willing to go.
“Mingjie, I think you still have to go. He’s your biological father. You have to change your temper, otherwise you will suffer a great loss.”
“I feel too embarrassed to go there, so I plan to go back after I have achieved some success…”
“Mingjie, as a child, your parents have seen you at your shabbiest. Do you still care about this?”
Li Mingjie felt ashamed to go, but as a child, why would you feel ashamed in front of your parents? Your parents have seen all kinds of sloppy looks you have, so why should they care?
When we got home, we found that Li Guokai looked much better. Both he and the attending physician were amazed. There was no rejection reaction at all. The doctor could only think that the transplant was from the bone marrow.
“Uncle, you look good today. I guess you’ll be able to go back to work soon.”
“Well, the doctor said that the results of all the tests were good… He had never seen a case like mine before. It was all thanks to my elder brother who donated his bone marrow to me…”
After saying that, Li Guokai looked at Li Guorong with gratitude again. The latter waved his hand and said, “Guokai, we are brothers, so let’s not talk about this.”
At this moment, among the children of Li Guokai’s family, only Li Mingjie is at home. Li Minghao is in Indonesia and it will take a few days before he can reach Hong Kong. Li Mingsi is “wandering” outside.
“Dad, I’m relieved to see that you’re okay.”
“Well, hurry up and sit down to eat. It just so happens that your mother asked the chef to prepare a lot of delicious dishes.”
Li Mingjie is no longer as fancy as before, so how can he talk about nutritious meals? When he was in the small hotel, he just ate instant noodles every day, didn’t he?
Unexpectedly, Zhang Shuyuan also changed today. She no longer eats vegetarian food like before, but eats with everyone. It may be that Li Guokai’s illness this time made her change.
When Li Guorong saw this scene, he was so happy that he said, “Is this what it’s like to have a meal together as a family? It was like before, you eat yours and I eat mine, and there was no family atmosphere at all…”
