Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 425: Having Money and No Place to Spend It

Of course, Li Shihui's inner thoughts were not like this, but, "It's not me who's talking nonsense, it's the boss. Who asked the boss to set such high demands!"

However, Li Shihui only dared to complain in his heart. If he dared to speak out, Li Weidong would let him know how cruel this world is in minutes, and what it means to have a thought of heaven and a thought of hell.

Li Weidong pondered for a moment and then said: "The funds for cashing out cannot be idle, but at this time, the opportunities in the United States may not be as good as those in China!"

In developed countries like the United States, many industries have passed the period of rapid development, and the scope for investment is already very small. This does not mean that investment cannot be made, but the return on investment is much worse than in developing countries.

Development is a process. When it reaches the level of the United States, the base is huge and many things have begun to stabilize. The economic growth rate is 12%, and the return on investment may not be as high as the return on deposits in domestic banks.

Of course, the growth of some high-tech companies is still huge and there are many opportunities, such as Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, which are already listed, and Google, which is not listed. There is no doubt about their growth, and breakthroughs are in the future.

Moreover, Li Weidong already owns the stocks of these companies, especially those companies that have been listed. Knowing that they are going to collapse, he keeps a bottom position as a swing and absorbs more stocks at low prices. It is not very beautiful.

There are also companies that have not yet been established that are familiar to everyone, such as Facebook and Tesla. Naturally, Li Weidong will not let them go. He has to participate no matter what, even if it is a simple financial investment, he can accept it.

Perhaps simply investing in the capital market will not play a decisive role at the critical moment, and these stocks are also virtual and may one day go cold.

But wouldn’t it be nice to get some cash before the crisis, or get some funds to go back during the China-Miami friendship period?

If Li Weidong has the right to speak, he might really be able to influence it!

So you still have to invest, but not now, but after the bubble disappears. It would be good to buy some dry goods that can squeeze out the water and act as a savior.

The icing on the cake and the timely help, both fools will choose!

These funds cannot be left idle. It would be a waste if not used!

Not to mention the feelings of family and country, there are a lot of opportunities waiting in the country. Spending them will mean rich rewards, and if you miss them, you will never have them again!

To get so much money back, if there is no reliable bank to operate quietly, it will definitely make a big noise and alarm the regulatory authorities. Who can you trust at this time, you can only rely on yourself!

This is not about selling stocks in the stock market. As long as the time is extended, in a market where the total market capitalization of Nasdaq is about 7 or 8 trillion US dollars, cashing out one ten thousandth is not a big deal.

"Chairman, there are many investment opportunities in emerging markets now, especially when some capital markets around us are fully open. Due to the financial crisis the year before last, we have not yet recovered, so it is a good opportunity to invest!"

Li Shihui felt that it was finally his chance to speak. He targeted countries in Southeast Asia that are very close to China, rather than the mainland.

Li Weidong glanced at Li Shihui and understood what he was thinking. This is also the view of most Hong Kong Islanders on the mainland, including some mainlanders.

In recent years, thanks to the rapid development of the domestic economy, there have been more and more wealthy people, but more and more people have immigrated to other countries. The main reason is that they feel unsure.

Zou Yi first glanced at Li Shihui, which was similar to the way she had just advised Li Weidong not to merge the company. Zou Yi looked at Li Weidong with some pride.

Li Weidong has no idea. Although the domestic environment is relatively relaxed, there are still many industries that have not been liberalized, even in another twenty years.

This is the economic foundation for the independent existence of a large country. Industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood cannot be controlled by others. That would be too dangerous.

So now, and even in the next twenty years, experts have been calling on the country to step up and pick up some basic things.

Li Weidong doesn't think these people are trying to please others. If selfishness is eliminated, there is a certain underlying logic. This is not reversing the course of history, but there are indeed hidden worries.

Li Weidong is someone who has been there and knows what the surrounding countries will be like in later generations. For a country that is not strong, a completely open capital market is like a beautiful young woman who is not protected by the law, a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Although people like Li Shihui were influenced by Li Weidong and were full of hope for the development of the mainland, this did not mean that they had complete trust in the mainland.

Li Weidong now has enough assets in the mainland. I don't know how many people have intentionally or unintentionally persuaded him to immigrate abroad, even to Hong Kong Island.

They had good intentions, but Li Weidong couldn't show his disgust, so Li Weidong's proposal to merge the company today was a tactful statement, and Li Shihui's duty to persuade him was his duty.

"Your proposal is not bad. You have recently taken advantage of the financial crisis to acquire many banks in Southeast Asia, right?" Li Weidong couldn't dislike it and had to encourage it.

"Not many. Big banks such as HSBC and Citigroup have strong funds. Our advantages are not obvious. The financial sector still prefers these banks!" Li Shihui said with a smile.

Although Li Weidong said that the proposal was good, he changed the subject and talked about banks. Naturally, he was not satisfied with his proposal. Li Shihui could hear the connotation of this statement.

"Chairman, our branch in the United States is too small and it is very difficult to transfer money directly. The best way is to register some shell companies and break them into parts!" Li Shihui returned to the topic.

"As long as there is a way, you guys can come up with a safe, efficient, and compliant method for me as soon as possible!" Li Weidong can't understand anything too professional, but he can make requests.

Nothing is simple when it comes to finance. The level of complex operations is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Li Weidong only cares about investing his money safely in the country.

Moreover, he is now the chairman of the holding group and the largest leader of the company. He only asks about the results, not the process. If the fact is not too big, he will not interfere.

Moreover, I always feel uneasy about taking advantage of the money stolen. I am afraid that the regulatory authorities in the United States will restrict the situation of these funds, or ban him from stock trading in the future.

As for freezing assets, this possibility is also possible, but it would be too ugly to engage in such a big battle with such a small amount of money.

"Your branch in the United States still needs to be bigger. The trade volume between China and the United States will become larger and larger in the future. It is difficult to make such a small amount of money, so how can you do it!" Li Weidong said to Li Shihui.

"Chairman, our business in the United States is currently developing quite rapidly, but after all, the time is still relatively short. If we want to grow quickly, we can only take the path of mergers and acquisitions!" Li Shihui gritted his teeth and demanded.

When your leader mentions goals to you, it is definitely not the best time for you to make demands. Doing so will mean threatening the leader, but there are not many opportunities. If you don't mention it now, if you mention it next time, I'm afraid the leader's mind will change.

Moreover, the boss just made so much money in the United States, and now he has to cash it out. It is a time when there is a lot of money and there is no place to spend it. This opportunity must not be missed and will not come back.

"Lack of money?" Li Weidong asked in confusion. Bankers are still short of money.

"Short of it!" Li Shihui nodded simply. Isn't it normal for banks to be short of money? They are not printing money. Customers' savings must be repaid, and there are strict regulations.

"How much is missing?" Li Weidong lit a cigarette and asked.

"One billion!" Li Shihui roughly estimated the number. In short, he opened his mouth first and then negotiated the price.

"Okay!" Li Weidong raised his head and glanced at Li Shihui. He was seriously ill, and nodded.

"I'm talking about U.S. dollars!" Li Shihui didn't expect Li Weidong to agree so readily, but his expression didn't seem like it, so he said tentatively.

"I'm talking about the Japanese yen!" Li Weidong said in a very serious tone.

Several people laughed after hearing this, and Li Shihui was embarrassed because he wanted too much.

"Fifty million US dollars, the chairman really can't afford any less!" Li Shihui continued.

It's okay to bargain, but if the leader really says yes, he will have to wonder if he can order more.

"Okay!" Li Weidong nodded this time, but his tone became more sincere.

"Chairman, I'm going to write a report right now!" Li Shihui stood up excitedly and danced excitedly.

With net assets of US$500 million, based on the bank's conventional asset-liability ratio of 90%, total assets will increase by US$500 million, still in US dollars.

At least it saves Minsheng Bank from struggling for a few years, and it has suddenly reached a big stage. With this asset scale, it has almost no rivals except the four major established commercial banks in the country.

Li Weidong picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then waved his hand and asked them to leave. This matter was settled, and Li Weidong's recent worries were basically settled. The rest was basically a matter of procedure.

Then Li Weidong met with several subordinates as arranged. The matter was not that complicated. It was just a report on the work, the success of this year, and the outlook for next year.

After a group of people went out, Zhang Dongshuo came in from the outside, looked at Li Weidong and rubbed his brow, and asked softly: "Chairman, it's already half past eleven, do you want to take a break and have a meal?"

"It's so soon. Let's go eat. We can't let everyone go hungry. It's time for the afternoon!" Li Weidong raised his hand and glanced at his watch, frowning and said.

"Okay, the car is ready!" Zhang Dongshuo looked at the itinerary in his hand and frowned. Hurry up, it's not that easy. It takes two days to do it in one day.

Li Weidong had just gone out, but before he reached the stairs, many people came out of the conference room not far away.

Although I haven't reported to Li Weidong yet, the results are still rich. Let's exchange experiences and talk about cooperation. There is not much futility. There are more cooperation talks than at the Fortune Forum.

When Li Weidong walked at the top of the stairs, everyone was already standing still with smiles. Several vice presidents stood in front, chatting and laughing with Li Weidong as they went downstairs.

Zhang Dongshuo was about to close the car door for Li Weidong when a staff member came over and wanted to say something in his ear, but was stopped by Zhang Dongshuo's eyes.

Although Zhang Dongshuo's face was smiling, he was a little unhappy in his heart. In front of the chairman, he had any other secrets. He wanted to give himself eye drops!

Even if there is something inconvenient to say, you can find an opportunity to say it, or edit a text message to say it. If you whisper in front of the leader, you really think the leader is the prime minister!

"Hello, Chairman, Director Zhang, people at the hotel said that there is a celebrity living in the hotel. Yesterday, it was photographed and it was even published in the entertainment newspapers. Now a lot of people have gathered, including reporters and fans!"

When the staff saw Zhang Dongshuo's eyes, he quickly greeted Li Weidong and said.

"Fans?" Li Weidong understood as soon as he thought about it. As long as he didn't come here because of them, it didn't matter.

It seems that the trouble was caused by the celebrity he met last night. There are too many people chasing stars now, and this is a star with a good standard. It is not a shame to be her fan.

At this time, Guo Huai ran over, followed by Luo Jialiang. In the winter, bright sweat could be seen on the foreheads of both of them.

"Chairman, I have asked the security to handle this matter. I think this group of fans and reporters will disperse soon!" Guo Huai said nervously, stroking the sweat from his head.

He didn't come early, he didn't come late, he just came when Li Weidong was going to the hotel. Guo Huai knew Li Weidong's temper and never had a good impression of reporters.

If someone accidentally happened to let a reporter photograph these people gathering at a gathering of well-known wealthy people, and then it was exposed, he could imagine how angry Li Weidong would be.

Luo Jialiang next to him was even more nervous, holding a newspaper in his hand. When Li Weidong looked over, it was too late to hide behind him.

"Bring it here, let me see what was captured. The efficiency of these fans is too low. How long has it been since they came here?" What Li Weidong was curious about was that it was all in the newspapers, and now there are fans surrounding the news.

It's too backward.

Based on his understanding of fanatical star-chasing fans, even if he sees this kind of news in the middle of the night, even in the dead of winter, fans will come over immediately!

Hearing Li Weidong's words, the sweat on Luo Jialiang's forehead became even worse. He didn't want to give it, but he didn't dare not to give it!

Guo Huai looked at Luo Jialiang from the side and felt sad for him. If this hadn't happened in his hotel, he would have just treated it as a joke and maybe he would have laughed out loud!

Li Weidong became even more curious. He took the newspaper and took a look. His face turned dark immediately and he looked up at Luo Jialiang.

There is not much content in the newspaper. There is only one picture at the beginning, and the rest is all edited, and the title is still in shocking style.

The editor did not dare to be too extreme. Except for the time, everything else was a secret code. Not only was the name of the hotel not mentioned, but the name of the person in the photo was also called Zhang Moumou. But this was too much.

.

It’s no wonder that the fans came so slowly. It’s probably because someone is familiar with the Four Seasons Hotel, so they found this place. It’s understandable that they didn’t arrive in time!

This is not the point. The point is that in addition to Zhang Moumou, the people in the photo also include Luo Jialiang. They were captured when they walked into the hotel side by side. In this case, with a little brainstorming, a two-person movie can be made.

"Chairman, please listen to my explanation!" Luo Jialiang said quickly when he saw the look in Li Weidong's eyes and was almost frightened to death.
