Wei Lan, who had always been extremely calm, was made red by Li Mu's teasing.
Wei Lan had heard many compliments about herself, but only Li Mu's words made her feel shy.
Li Mu praised himself for being so flattering to women. The meaning behind his words was that he was almost described as the most beautiful woman in Yanjing. Although he was not so conceited, he heard such a weighty compliment. , she was naturally happy.
What's more, this compliment came from the mouth of her sweetheart, which made her feel a little nervous despite being so happy.
Wei Lan is also a mature woman who is used to seeing various scenes. She should have shown her integrity in such exaggerated praise, but the clear water in her heart can't help but ripple due to Li Mu.
She put her bag on Li Mu's desk in a panic. At the moment when Li Mu's eyes were attracted by her bag, Wei Lan stretched out her right hand and put the back of her hand against her cheek. She felt the back of her hand feel hot, and she felt even more panicked. .
At first, she just felt shy and her face felt a little hot, but she didn't expect it to be a little hot. There was no mirror at the moment, and she was really worried that she would blush too much and be seen by Li Mu.
Wei Lan was not afraid that Li Mu would know that she liked him, but she simply didn't want to act like a young girl in love with this big boy who was several years younger than her.
There must be a lot of cute little girls around him who are shy, cute, and often blush. He doesn't want to be reduced to the same level as them in Li Mu's eyes. That would really go against his usual style. In the usual words of Yanjing people As the saying goes, you have to have your own style.
She must maintain a certain degree of pride at all times, that is her Weilan style, even if the young boy in front of her has the ability to make everything happen, even if he can make her father earn two yuan with just a phone call and a few words. Tens of millions of dollars, even if I have already been impressed by his charm, I still have to try my best to maintain my consistent image and style in front of him.
Forcing herself to calm down, Wei Lan teased Li Mu: "I didn't realize that you are so good at making women happy. You usually make girls happy, right?"
Li Mu laughed: "I'm so busy every day that I don't even have time to shave. How can I find the time to coax girls?"
Wei Lan nodded. She didn't need to listen to Li Mu to tell how busy Li Mu was recently. She could guess just by reading the news related to him.
On the one hand, there is the rapid development of overseas markets, and on the other hand, there is the overwhelming publicity of Taobao’s 929 promotion. No one in the domestic Internet industry except Li Mu can accomplish either of these two things, but Li Mu operates it at the same time. These two major things will definitely make you very busy.
"If you are too busy, slow down the pace a little. Your health is the most important thing."
Li Mu smiled slightly: "This is just the end of my busy schedule. After the 929 promotion, I will take advantage of the National Day to take a vacation for myself."
Wei Lan asked curiously: "Where are you going to go on vacation?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Haizhou."
"Ah?" Wei Lan was stunned and said, "Go back to your hometown? I thought you were going abroad for vacation."
Li Mu smiled and said, "For people like me, going home is the best way to rest."
Wei Lan nodded in understanding, and then a trace of loneliness flashed across her expression.
She also knows that no place is as relaxing as home. Even if you stay in a super luxury hotel in the Maldives, after three, five or ten days, you will get tired of the narrowness of the island and the 24-hour sound of the waves. , the place that can really relax people to the greatest extent is home. This home is not where you live in Yanjing or other cities, but the city where you grew up, and where you are with your parents.
Weilan also wants to return to Shanghai, but not to the current Shanghai, but to the Shanghai where her parents are. Unfortunately, there is no possibility of reuniting with her parents in Shanghai at the moment, and she doesn’t even know whether she will be able to reunite with her parents in the next few years. There can't be such a chance.
Li Mu raised his head at this time, saw the sadness in Wei Lan's eyes, and comforted: "Once the Juncheng Real Estate case comes to trial, I will do my best to ensure that your father's trial is fair and just. As long as he is sentenced in accordance with the law, there will basically be no jail time." According to past precedents, the most severe disaster is a three-year sentence and a five-year reprieve.”
Wei Lan nodded slightly with gratitude. Li Mu changed the topic at this time and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about something else. What are your plans for the National Day holiday? Are you in Yanjing or going somewhere else?"
Wei Lan said: "I can't take a holiday during the National Day. Wanying has a lot of things to do. The core team works normally during the National Day and only takes one weekend off."
Li Mu said: "How can that be done? You have to rest when you need to."
Wei Lan smiled and said: "Forget it, look how busy you are. Did you take a break when it was time to take a break? You still have the nerve to tell others."
After saying that, Wei Lan explained: "Working overtime is voluntary for everyone. Everyone is willing to ask for overtime."
Li Mu knew that he was a workaholic himself, and it was naturally unconvincing to persuade others to take a break, so he said helplessly: "Okay, you can just decide for yourself."
Wei Lan nodded and asked Li Mu: "By the way, I just heard Mr. Lin say that there were five to six hundred people from Makino Technology applying for visas today? Why are there so many people?"
Li Mu said: "The next step of Makino Technology's focus will be to gradually shift to overseas markets. After the National Day, the first batch of employees will be sent to the United States. In the future, more employees will be sent to work in the United States, so all front-line employees will basically be sent to work in the United States. They all took this opportunity to apply for a visa, because for this business visa, as long as you interview for the first time, you can renew it in the next few years without an interview, and the pass rate is much higher.”
Wei Lan said: "Then wouldn't it be possible for you to stay in the United States permanently in the future?"
Li Mu shook his head: "No, the focus in the next one or two years will definitely still be on the country."
…
Wei Lan didn't drive and stayed in Li Mu's office until almost eight o'clock. Li Mu took her down to the basement and drove her to the hotel she had booked in advance.
After sitting down in the hotel box, Wei Lan ordered a bunch of Shanghai-style dishes and Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. After the food was served, Wei Lan offered tea instead of wine and toasted Li Mu: "On behalf of my father, I toast you, thank you. Being able to think of him at that time gave him an opportunity to make money.”
Li Mu said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, I just shared a small piece of information."
Wei Lan nodded and smiled, was silent for a moment, and said to Li Mu very sincerely: "Thank you very much. From the time we met until now, there are so many things I need to thank you for."
Li Mu said with a smile: "There is no need to say too many words of thanks. The two of us are now partners. If you can do Wanying well, it will be the greatest reward for me and yourself."
As he spoke, Li Mu said jokingly: "Actually, regarding eBay, I originally wanted to make a short-term profit by bargain-hunting, but it was too troublesome to operate, so I gave up. Besides, I don't have many friends or acquaintances in the United States. Then I thought about you." My father is in the United States, so I called you, so it’s a good idea to keep the wealth from going to outsiders.”
When Wei Lan heard that Li Mu said that the wealth would not go to outsiders, she felt happy. This meant that Li Mu regarded herself as one of his own, which at least proved that in his heart, he was not too far away from himself.
Wei Lan, who was filled with joy, said to Li Mu: "That phone call of yours allowed my dad to make a lot of money from eBay stocks. It seems that he has never made such simple money in his life. In the past two days, I have given him so much money." I was so happy that I kept saying that I would buy me a villa in Ziyun Villa again... "
Li Mu asked curiously: "How much is a large amount?"
Wei Lan said: "Twenty million, US dollars."
Although the words "20 million US dollars" were an understatement, in fact, to this day, Wei Lan still feels a little incredible.
The incredible thing is not the 20 million US dollars, but Li Mu.
Li Mu released a piece of news that contained such great benefits with just one sentence. In her opinion, this was simply the best evidence of Li Mu's true strength and the most unique charm of Li Mu.
Almost all women like strong men, and Wei Lan is no exception. In her eyes, Li Mu is the most powerful being in her world; in her eyes, Li Mu is the one she admires the most; In her eyes, Li Mu had the power to conquer almost everything, including herself.
At this time, Li Mu did not appreciate Wei Lan's special look at him, but said in surprise: "Earned 20 million US dollars? How much did your dad buy?"
"One million shares..."
Li Mu couldn't help but sigh: "I bought one million shares and made 20 million US dollars. Fortunately, it is a US stock. If retail investors dared to buy so much in China, they would have been trapped by the main force."
Wei Lan said: "I didn't expect him to acquire so much. Now that I think about it, I'm quite scared. In order to acquire these stocks, he also borrowed a lot of money from friends. It seems that it is better not to reveal any information to him in the future. His style is to always hold heavy positions. If this were not the case, Juncheng Real Estate would not be so passive."
Li Mu nodded and said: "When Makino Technology goes public in the future, I recommend him to invest a little for a long-term investment. By then, the $20 million he earned this time will be invested, which will be enough for him to provide for his retirement."
Wei Lan smiled and asked: "When will Makino Technology be launched?"
Li Mu said: "The A round will be finalized this year, and American capital will participate in the stock. If we work with them to plan the listing, it should be no problem to go public in 2003."
Wei Lan said: "When Nasdaq rings the bell, you must be there, right?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "It is such a sacred moment. If I don't go, I will regret it for the rest of my life. Not only me, but all the senior officials of Makino Technology must be there to witness it."
Wei Lan hurriedly said: "I'll make a reservation in advance and leave a spot for me when the time comes. I'll also go there to witness history."
Li Mu remembered what he had talked with her in the office this afternoon and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if you really go to the United States to ring the bell, I will definitely charter a plane and I will leave a seat for you on the plane!"
…
After the meal, Li Mu took Wei Lan back to the community where she lived. The car parked in front of the unit door of Wei Lan's building. After Wei Lan said goodbye to Li Mu, before getting off the car, Wei Lan did not forget to remind Li Mu to pay attention to safety when driving. A text message.
Li Mu nodded and watched Wei Lan enter the unit door before driving away.
Wang Yuanlang and three others drove a Mercedes-Benz and followed his car out of the community together. After both cars left the community, in the parking space directly opposite the unit door, there was a Jinbei Bread with a black film on it, and the driver's seat was Only then did the two people who were half-lying on the passenger seat sit up.
The driver said to the middle-aged man in the passenger seat: "Brother Lei, is this the girl you want to tie up?"
"That's right!" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and nodded, and cursed fiercely: "This stinky cousin has teamed up with others to defraud me for half my life. I will definitely get back this revenge from her! "
This middle-aged man is Song Zhilei, another shareholder of Juncheng Real Estate.
Back then, Li Mu and Wei Lan worked together to coax and deceive Song Zhilei into taking away 20% of Juncheng's shares with a valuation of 100 million. At that time, Song Zhilei thought he had finally gotten rid of a huge burden and barely recovered a little loss. But when Li Mu used a fund to spend billions to directly revitalize Juncheng Real Estate, he realized that he had been tricked by Li Mu and Wei Lan!
Originally, 20% of his shares were worth at least several hundred million or even one billion, but in the end he sold them for only 20 million. This huge loss made Song Zhilei always regard Wei Lan as his sworn enemy, and vowed countless times to make Wei Lan He paid the price with his life, and he had the urge to get rid of it several times, but because of his wife and children, he still held it back.
But things are different now.
Song Zhilei was ostracized by everyone in the Shanghai stock market because of a series of malignant actions such as cheating on Juncheng Real Estate, colluding with outsiders to swallow up Juncheng's assets, forcing Juncheng Real Estate to almost disappear, and the founder leaving for the United States. Even if he wants to find a job on a construction site in Shanghai, no foreman would be willing to take him, let alone want to continue to make money in the real estate business in Shanghai.
He couldn't survive in the Shanghai stock market and had no connections outside the city. After repeated setbacks, Song Zhilei realized that he had no way out in the Shanghai stock market or even at home. So after discussing with his wife, he decided to sell his house in the Shanghai stock market and live at home. Immigrate to Australia.
Song Zhilei had already bought a full-price villa in Australia. These days, Australia's immigration standards are relatively loose. His family has also obtained Australian green cards. Before leaving, Song Zhilei arranged for his wife and children to take almost all their belongings from Shanghai. He flew to Australia, but he stayed alone on the pretext that he wanted to collect some balance payments owed by others.
The fundamental reason why Song Zhilei wanted to stay was to take revenge on Wei Lan and get some money out of Wei Lan.
Hundreds of millions of assets eventually turned into 20 million in cash. Song Zhilei hated Weilan madly. Weilan not only went to Wanying Real Estate, a company owned by Li Mu, but even got Li Mu's promise of 800 million in three years. This made Song Zhilei even more worried. Unbalanced, he only wants to do one thing right now: before going to Australia, kidnap Wei Lan, then force her to ask Li Mu for money, and try his best to get more money from her.
Song Zhilei was not a reckless person. He had already determined all the details before coming to Yanjing.
First, he found a few desperadoes from Shanghai, promised them 20% commission on the kidnapping case, and asked them to come to Yanjing with him to commit crimes;
Secondly, he has found a way to launder money. The kidnapping will naturally require cash, but it is difficult to convert cash into Australian dollars and take it to Australia. If he finds a good way, the other party can charge a 40% commission to launder the money for him and transfer it to Australia. 60% is converted into Australian dollars and transferred to your account in Australia. To put it bluntly, I gave him cash in RMB, and he used his Australian account to transfer 60% of the Australian dollars to his own account. And the other party had a way to slowly launder the stolen money and make a profit on the difference;
Once again, after Song Zhilei confirmed that the money had arrived, he immediately bought a ticket and flew to Australia. The domestic police may have already arrived in Australia before they found any clues. There is no extradition agreement between the two countries. Even if the domestic police solve the case, he can still be in Australia. sit back and relax;
Finally, Song Zhilei has an additional purpose: Wei Lan must die!
