Age of Dreams

At night, Laoba Road is still full of people, under the bright lights, there are lively scenes everywhere.

Xiao Qi and Qu Liang were sitting in a clean private room, watching the faint commotion below, they could also feel everyone's happy mood.

Slowly eating the braised cherry meat, Qu Liang drank a sip of glutinous rice wine very satisfied, and said to Xiao Qi with a smile: "It's better for us in Huaguo, those ghosts only know how to fry, fry and bake, and don't understand it at all. The art of catering, I don’t think they have much joy in life.”

"The only food they eat is sugar. I really don't know if their ancestors were short of sugar. They made it so sweet, so it's no wonder they don't look fat!" Xiao Qi agreed.

He suffered a lot from these aspects back then, so that he could only start a business at home by himself, so many professors and classmates often came to his dormitory to play the autumn breeze.

Qu Liang clapped his hands, "Hey, Yankees are actually pretty good. You haven't been to the UK, and you don't know the pain of the Chinese there! I worked there for a year, and then I felt that compared to the UK, America is already heaven. British food is basically potatoes potatoes, which made me think for a while that everyone in the street was potatoes, and since returning to the United States from the UK, I have never eaten potatoes, give me Disgusting!"

"That's right, even Japanese food is better than those from these countries." Xiao Qi smiled, "They have just learned a little bit of Chinese food, and they have already established their own school in the world."

"I don't really like Japanese food, it's too bland." Qu Liang shrugged, "But I like to play with Japanese women, because they are docile and obedient, not as demanding as domestic women, haha!"

Xiao Qi nodded.

Nowadays, young girls in China, their values ​​and philosophy of life are all formed by the "money, money and money" of the reform and opening up, and there are many worshipers of money. The desire for money has completely surpassed the mentality that girls of their age should have.

Take the girls from Sichuan Normal University as an example. Many beautiful girls appear in the lawn garden of Fairy Company, not for taking a walk, but to catch rich men and find a boyfriend from Fairy Company.

Not to mention, many of those technical nerds were lost in their hands. At least 70 have found female students from Sichuan Normal University who are a few years younger than them to be their girlfriends.

Those girls who found boyfriends in Fairy Company were pretty good, those girls who would sit in the luxury cars parked around the school every weekend and go out to have a good time were the ones who really made people sigh.

Since this is true for girls, it is even more true for adult women in their twenties.

Although it is not as transactional as the Chiguoguo of "I should marry a 50 million rich man because of my beauty" in the future, their pursuit of life enjoyment is still beyond the normal range.

Xiao Qi always has a little heart, so he doesn't like such realistic women at all, usually when meeting these women, Xiao Qi won't even look at them.

Thoughts flashed, Xiao Qi also poured himself a glass of juice. "Brother Qu, you asked me out in such a hurry, it should be on the island of Maldives, is there any news?"

"There is some progress, but it's not very ideal." Qu Liang said while eating: "In the Maldives government, factional struggles are fierce, but no one dares to buy and sell islands so blatantly. Their proposal is based on the company's In the name of buying a 99-year leasehold, it will be fine to renew later.”

"How is this possible? Australia also has a 99-year lease. I might as well buy an Australian one!" Xiao Qi flatly refused.

"That's right, the world's richest man, why would he rent a small island?" Qu Liang smiled, "So now we are continuing to negotiate, and if it doesn't work, we can increase the price. I don't believe they can refuse that kind of temptation."

"Well, you don't have to just work on my family. I believe that many rich people must be interested in buying one or two islands in the Maldives, right?" Xiao Qi said, "If everyone joins hands, it should be easier to exert pressure What's more, it's not that we don't pay management fees. Electricity, water, supplies of various items, and the employment of service personnel, don't they all do it? This is also a long-term business! Otherwise, according to their speed , the remaining 1,000 or so islands, I am afraid they will not be able to develop them before the Maldives sinks, right?"

"Hehe, Mr. Qi, your words are really vicious!" Qu Liang laughed, but his attitude was very serious: "However, the methods and excuses you mentioned are very helpful for negotiations... If you If you don't mind, I think I can find a few of your friends, explain to them that you want to buy islands in the Maldives, and then circle them in."

Xiao Qi couldn't help laughing, "Then let me guess, should Richardson be one? Ellison should be one? Bezos doesn't know if he is willing to buy it. Anyway, a guy like Gang Leader Joe who has no interest in life should won't buy it."

"You are right about the first three people. America is famous for their love of islands." Qu Liang said with a smile, "Besides that, you also forgot Mr. Bellard of French lvmh, his three My daughter has recently grown up, and I think an island in the Maldives would be a good gift. In addition, Mr. Bobby Li, the CEO of Green Pine Capital, should also be interested."

After a pause, he continued: "There are more than 20 islands in total. I think the Maldives will have some scruples if the most famous super rich in the world exert pressure together....In addition, the Maldives is located in the United States. They have a lot of investment, as far as I know, they bought a lot of bonds in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac!"

"Hahaha……"

You don't need to be so clear when talking to smart people.

As one of the largest commercial integrated banks in the United States, Citibank of course knew that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac embezzled funds to settle accounts with Huaguo State Investment Corporation, and it was this reason that prompted the early destruction of Bear Stearns.

Since the Huaguo government has done such a big thing, Qu Liang thinks that Xiao Qi should know about it—but he doesn't know that Xiao Qi planned this thing in the first place! !

The situation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is very bad. Anyone with information knows this. Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and other investment banks, banks, and even large fund companies have been slowly selling their stocks. Bonds, in the end, those who were entrapped by the bonds of the two companies were only the cannon fodder who didn't know the inside story-for example, the super-taken by Huaguo and Japan in the previous life, and I don't know how many bonds were thrown into their hands.

In his previous life, Xiao Qi never cared about the Maldives investment bureau, but hearing Qu Liang's tone, the Maldives might not be able to escape.

All countries based on resources will consider one thing, that is, what to do when their resources are exhausted.

The oil tycoons in the east started to make arrangements decades ago. They bought too many companies, mine resources, land, etc. openly and secretly, trying to ensure that their grandchildren can live without oil. Have a good day without worries.

The Maldives will be in a worse situation, because they only started to gradually develop tourism in the 1980s, and it was not until 2000 that it was considered a major development, and then after the financial crisis in 2008, and at the same time after the RMB became more and more valuable. It was gradually praised by Chinese people as another Phuket Island.

Therefore, they still don't have much money now, otherwise it would be impossible to develop less than 100 islands.

That being the case, the money they used to invest was probably pulled out from between their teeth.

Once a loss is caused, it will definitely be a huge blow to the Maldives' finances.

Regardless of the small population of the Maldives, almost all of them are gathered on their capital, Male Island. Once something wants to happen, it is easy to do it in such a small area.

If the people find out that all their money has been squandered because of the government's investment, no matter how powerful their president is, he won't be able to handle it, right?

At that time, Xiao Qi and a group of rich people will spend hundreds of millions of dollars, plus the steady flow of money in the future, they have no reason to push this life-saving straw out!

"Qi Shao, just wait patiently! Citigroup will never disappoint its customers." Qu Liang concluded: "If I don't have this interest, I would also like to buy an island to play."

"Don't worry, some of the islands I bought are for my friends. When you are free, I would welcome you to take your sister-in-law and niece to vacation together." Xiao Qi said with a smile, he naturally Impossible not to be human.

He wants enough islands to buy, not only for his wives and parents, but also islands for the company's employees to vacation, and one or two islands for business partners and so on.

This is not a lot of money, but it is very satisfying.

In fact, the most important thing to buy an island is five million dollars, and the most important thing is the development of the island.

Transportation, roads, housing, electricity, fresh water, maintenance, etc., these money are not at all cheaper than buying an island.

There are more places to spend money if you want to build the island a little better.

But Xiao Qi always felt that after earning money, he had to spend it, otherwise it would be meaningless.

As long as it is legitimately earned money, you can spend it as you wish.

Didn't you see Director Huo spent 2 million on his trip to the Maldives?

This Ni Cai really knows how to enjoy life!

How is it like her big sister, who spends time with Xiao Qi, or goes back to the Northeast to take care of parents, and pregnant sister-in-law, the whole life is hard~~
