"Brother Li, what kind of person are you?"

"A lonely man who warms the loneliness of others."

"Who is that Bai Xue?"

"A bad woman who tramples on other people's emotions, destroys other people's beliefs, and mocks kindness to strengthen her own evil views."

"Why can you accept such a woman, but can't accept the feelings of a girl who is much better than her?"

"Because to me she is just a lonely woman, no matter what is good or bad, and a girl who is much better than her is still a child, no matter what is good or bad."

"I put on makeup today, did you notice?"

At 8:30 in the morning, Li Muye had just finished the special training in the container and was about to rinse it off when Lu Shaofen ran over.

"Well, as long as your eyesight is normal, you can see it." Li Muye pointed at Xiaofen's lips that were too bright red, and said with a smile: "Bai Xue's sexiness is not the bright red made up by makeup, but the way it is lived. You are a beautiful girl, you have your own style and you should not imitate her deliberately."

"I didn't deliberately imitate her." Lu Shaofen was disappointed and pouted: "This outfit cost me two months of living expenses."

Lu Shaofen is going to see Bai Xue soon, in order to collect a check and go through the equity delivery confirmation procedures. Before departure, he came specifically to disturb Li Muye. The black silk culottes, the sexy cross-front off-shoulder top, the gorgeous but not heavy makeup that Wu Lanzhu and I had worked on all morning, and the perfect slender curves, when combined together, she looks really coquettish and charming. Pure and perfect fusion of artistic conception.

Li Muye said without conscience: "Sportswear is more suitable for you." He emphasized in a more serious tone: "Wear less shorts and more long pants."

"You're more verbose than my dad." Lu Shaofen looked disappointed, but decided to change into something more suitable for her that Brother Li would like.

In Hezhai, several security personnel at the door were exercising under the guidance of Wu Runtu.

Yuan Chengde sat by the ditch in front of the door, fishing alone to get a touch of coolness in the bitter summer.

Li Muye drove over by himself, got out of the car and walked directly to Yuan Chengde.

"What a big situation." Yuan Chengde stayed still, without looking back, but his hands were shaking slightly, and said: "Longda Group has registered a full set of port construction qualifications for Hongye Group, and even the equipment is ready. Everything is ready. Everything is ready, only one more project is left.”

"The project already exists." Li Muye said, "We still need a reassuring person in charge."

"Wang Hongjun has no problem." Yuan Chengde said: "Actually, it doesn't matter who takes that seat." He paused and suddenly asked: "It seems that the money you transferred from Jin Yuan Zhenghe's books was not just used to acquire Hongye Group. ?”

"I know I can't hide anything from you." Li Muye said, "I promised Brother Ah Hui before that I would do something in the catering industry."

Yuan Chengde said: "So I said it's a big situation, but I suddenly found that I couldn't keep up with your thinking."

Li Muye said: "It's not that I can't keep up with the ideas, but the plan didn't change quickly. I encountered some things in Russia and had to revise my original goal."

"Isn't it big enough?"

"It depends on how you say it. If our opponent is only Longda Group, the previous goal must be big enough." Li Muye said: "But if we look at the world and meet Brother Ah Hui's expectations for us, it is obviously not enough. Saw it."

"I can probably understand what your friend means." Yuan Chengde was actually a little excited and said: "This is a world of confrontation. Countries and countries, people and people, constitute this era where business is king. We can't just limit ourselves to One city, one place.”

"I accidentally came into contact with a completely new field this time when I went out." Li Muye said, "Suddenly I discovered some interesting things. I would like to hear your opinion."

"Speak up and let's discuss it together."

"Do you believe that in addition to the governments of various countries, there is another order in this world that maintains the operation of the entire world at all times?" Li Muye asked.

Yuan Chengde pondered for a moment and said: "Governments can change, heads of state can also change, but some large financial groups always exert influence."

Li Muye said: "When I was in Russia this time, I happened to interact with a certain big shot in this circle. At that time, this person planned a murder operation against the Chairman of the Federal Duma. Unfortunately, I was involved as one of the links. Only then did we realize that we are very close to that circle.”

Yuan Chengde said: "It seems that your career in Russia has developed too fast."

Li Muye nodded and said, "Yes, but that's not the point."

"The key point is the way this person does things and the possible results." Yuan Chengde followed Li Muye's thinking: "The murder of a political figure to control the policy and economic trend of a country is beyond our previous understanding. The understanding of the power of businessmen, I think this is what interests you.”

"I'm just curious, is there such a figure in China? If not, can I give it a try?" Li Muye looked at Yuan Chengde with a smile and said, "Old Yuan, don't you think this is a particularly interesting thing? ?"

Yuan Chengde said: "This is also a very dangerous circle with a very high elimination rate."

Li Muye asked: "Lao Yuan, are you afraid?"

Yuan Chengde said: "I can accept being unknown, but I will never accept being inactive." He asked: "As the leader, you are the one who bears the brunt of the highest risks. People who follow you on this road may not all reach the top. Can you Are you prepared to lose stragglers?”

"I have never been a person who cannot accept separation." Li Muye said: "I borrow Huang Zhan's poem to express my mood at the moment."

The world's turmoil comes from my generation, and the years rush me as soon as I enter the world. While Wang Tuba Ye was talking and laughing, he couldn't bear the intoxication of life. Carrying a sword and carrying a horse, he waved the ghost rain, and his bones were as white as a mountain bird flying in fright. Things in the world are like tides and people are like water. Only a few people in the rivers and lakes return.

Yuan Chengde sighed softly: "One general's success can lead to thousands of bones being withered. This has been the case throughout the ages."

Li Muye said: "This boring world will never lack people who pursue their dreams. What they lack is risking their lives for a chance to achieve success."

Yuan Chengde glanced at the few young security guards who were practicing boxing with Wu Runtu in the distance, and said with some realization: "The one who runs the coffin shop has no business with the people who tie the spiritual flags. The feet grow on your own body. It's up to everyone to take whatever path they want." destiny."

"The industries I currently hold direct holdings include Agricultural and Industrial Bank, Makino International Trade, and Makino Agriculture. The industries I hold indirect holdings include Anna Jewelry, Jinyuan Zhenghe, Hongye Group, Eljin Mining, and Cui's Security. Next, we will have more Chain restaurant industry." Li Muye said: "I am not an ambitious person. I got to where I am today all because of a woman, but now I am the job of thousands of people."

"Along the way, the deepest realization is that people can't help themselves in the world of martial arts. At this point, I can no longer tolerate being on both ends of the world." Li Muye continued with emotion: "But if you look back to the origin, I am just a Jianghu. Prodigal son, I am not as good as Andrei, Kirichenko and others in international trade, and there are many talents better than me in agricultural management. It can be said that no matter which industry it is, if I were to manage it myself, there would be no development today. scale, now I am more and more aware of the limitations brought by lack of culture.”

"Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was not as good as the Marquis of Huaiyin in leading the army, not as good as Zhang Zifang in strategizing and winning a thousand-mile victory, and not as good as Xiao He in governing the country." Yuan Chengde said: "You are thick-skinned and sinister, good at scheming, and good at scheming people. Although you were born in a rough place, you are cautious. It is enough to be morally honest and have a certain amount of destiny."

He continued: "I, Yuan Chengde, have been unable to carry my shoulders or lift my hands in this life. Apart from reading, I have no other talents. If I hadn't met you, I would still be the lunatic lying in the cage. After you, I will have a chance to put into practice what I have learned from books."

Hearing the sound of strings and knowing the elegant meaning, this kind of chat rhythm cannot help but make people feel happy.

What Li Muye needs is a helper who can take charge of the overall situation. This person must be familiar with history, understand the world, and have a thorough understanding of the history of business development throughout the ages. He must be able to pick up any specific business at his fingertips. He must be talented but not virtuous. Such talents are rare and can only be encountered but cannot be sought.

It is very clear at this point. Li Muye planned to dig Yuan Chengde away from He Xiaoqi and add more burdens to him. Yuan Chengde also understood what Li Muye meant and did not refuse.

The warm breeze blows, and the willows linger. Gurgling water, cherishing each other.

Two men, one is fishing, the other is thirsty for talents.

Yuan Chengde finally put away his fishing rod and said: "I know too little about the industry in Russia. Jin Yuan Zhenghe has nothing to say, so let's start with Hongye Group."

Li Muye looked like he was willing to accept the teachings and listened attentively.

Yuan Chengde continued: "If you have enough understanding of world economic history, you will know that economic development has inevitable cycles and regularities... "

Li Muye interrupted him and said with an apologetic smile: "Old Yuan, just skip the part about dropping the book bag. Let's just fish it out."

Yuan Chengde rolled his eyes helplessly, reorganized his words, and said: "To put it simply, the outbreak of economic crisis and rapid economic growth are both phenomena that have rules to follow. When a purely capital-operated economy is overly prosperous, it often It means that the economic bubble has been inflated too much, eventually endangering the real economy, and what will follow is a comprehensive economic crisis."

Li Muye blinked his eyes, shook his head and said, "I still don't quite understand."

Yuan Chengde was unhappy: "The value of stocks is inflated, and the asymmetry with the value of the real economy has reached a critical point. When private wealth is excessively concentrated in the hands of a few people, the false prosperity created by these few people cannot be sustained. There will be a real crisis.”

Li Muye understood a little this time, nodded and said, "Keep talking, I'm not stupid enough."

"The specific manifestations are inflated prices, shrinking consumption, stagnant productivity, and skyrocketing unemployment."

Yuan Chengde said: "For example, the actual value of a house is only a few hundred thousand, but it has been sold to millions or tens of millions by rich people like you. The subsequent impact is that the stock prices of industries related to the real estate industry have skyrocketed. , there was a short-term prosperity in the capital market, and a small number of people over-consumed after a sharp increase in wealth, which in turn led to rising prices. Ultimately, the vast majority of consumers who had no ability and need were unable to consume. After forming a vicious circle, as long as an outbreak occurs If it is ignited, it will trigger a complete economic crisis."

Li Muye said: "The stock market seems to be quite lively now."

Yuan Chengde nodded and said: "This is not only true in China, but also in the world capital market. From what I can see, judging from the current performance of the capital market, it will not be more than two years before a comprehensive economic crisis breaks out. This is the operation of a market economy. It is an inevitable law that when it develops to a certain extent, there will be such a big purge."

"Then what?" Li Muye said: "Although I neither understand nor believe what you said, I still choose to believe in your judgment. What I want to know most now is how this has anything to do with Hongye Group's business. what relationship?"

Yuan Chengde said: "This brings us to the topic of the high-speed economic growth cycle. I won't tell you because it is too professional. I will tell you what drives this high-speed economic growth cycle. In a nutshell, Infrastructure!”

Li Muye suddenly said: "This makes it clear. Hongye Group not only has the qualifications for real estate development, but also the engineering qualifications for port tunnel and bridge construction. If the country vigorously promotes infrastructure construction, it will indeed be a good development opportunity for Hongye Group."

Yuan Chengde said: "Actually, the country is already making technical reserves and precise planning in this area. It's just that you don't care about current affairs and politics, so you know nothing."

Li Muye scratched his head modestly and looked at him furtively. This figure who almost entered a national think tank may not look amazing, even a little shabby, but his head contains much more than Brother Ono.

"The economic crisis is not the end of the world. Once the economic crisis breaks out, it is not the people at the bottom who are really affected, because no matter whether there is an economic crisis or not, these people are already living at the bottom. When prices are inflated, they have no money, and the economy falls off a cliff. At that time, they still had no money. At that time, only the small speculators who jumped into the capital market during the false prosperity period will go bankrupt. These people are only a minority. Their entry into abject poverty will have a great impact on public opinion, but it will not It will have a fatal impact on the entire economy and society.”

Li Muye said: "I know this. It's just like Uncle Chen's idiot son who thinks he's the god of stock trading all day long."

"That's what I mean." Yuan Chengde said: "What I just told you is actually not a profound knowledge. What I want to say next is the key point. The economic crisis caused depression and the unemployment rate surged, which in turn gave rise to people's dissatisfaction with the government. Trust, for the common people, means sitting at home and scolding their mother, but for the governing authorities of any country, it is a huge crisis. In order to prevent the situation from spreading and deteriorating to an irreversible point, they must do everything they can to prevent it from happening in a short time. Within a certain period of time, we can reverse the decline, increase employment, stimulate consumption and drive economic recovery."

Li Muye realized something: "That's why we need to build infrastructure. This industry is the most labor-intensive and will drive many related industries. It is also a good thing to improve people's livelihood and environment and demonstrate our ability to govern."

Yuan Chengde gave a teachable smile, nodded and said: "In this way, the value of Hongye Group will be highlighted."

Li Muye said: "Yes, after listening to your analysis, I bet you did the right thing by insisting on leaving Hongye Group."

Yuan Chengde said: "During the period of false prosperity, all walks of life operate at full capacity, and the direct consequence is overcapacity. Once the bubble bursts, after the great purge, ordinary people will still be ordinary people, and those who are in the business will still be in the business. Prices will fall, and those who have been manipulated by capital will Companies that get carried away will collapse, and at this time, those companies that have always focused on the real economy will have an opportunity."

Li Muye's eyes lit up: "Those companies that go bankrupt due to insolvency will leave behind a large amount of cheap inventory!"

Yuan Chengde said: "Once the economy picks up, the value of these inventories will be highlighted again. What Hongye Group has to do is to focus on real economy construction projects at this stage and accumulate more engineering experience and industrial capital. When the opportunity comes, Can show strong explosive power.”

"This is to accumulate food widely, dig holes deeply, and slowly become king."

Li Muye was excited: "Lao Yuan, you are so talented. From today on, you will be my Li Muye's Xiao He ovary!"

After returning from Hezhai, Li Muye planned to call Chen Binghui to ask about the project. As he was thinking about the words, he unexpectedly received a call from Chen Binghui first, saying that he had something to ask him for help. Naturally, he readily agreed.

Brother Ah Hui didn't have anything particularly difficult that required Li Muye's help. It was just that a veteran there went to Shanghai to join his children after he was discharged from the army. However, due to financial reasons, he was unable to stay as he wished, and now he is living on the streets. This veteran was in his fifties, and all the money he received for his rehabilitation was given to his two children. However, he would rather live on the street than burden his children. He called Chen Binghui for help, hoping to find a job.

When Li Muye heard this, he thought of that bastard man far away in Yakutia who left behind a pair of children. Comparing the two, there is simply a world of difference. He agreed decisively and then asked about the project. After getting a satisfactory answer, he hung up the phone.

Lu Shaofen happened to come back from outside at this time, and Li Muye immediately took her with him to find the veteran at the address provided by Chen Binghui.

Under an overpass, Li Muye and Lu Shaofen met the veteran Ah Hui mentioned.

He was peeing in front of the bridge pier at that time. He had white hair, stooped waist, and was wearing a green military uniform without a military rank. According to Chen Binghui, he was a technical veteran when he served in the army. Only in this branch of the military can someone reach his age.

Dirty, obscene, dim-sighted, and drunk.

It is completely different from the image of the super veteran king that Brother Ono vaguely expected.

It seems that I am overthinking it.

Li Muye thought to himself, walked up and said, "I am Chen Binghui's friend, you are squad leader Cao, right?"

"I'm Cao Lin, Cao Cao's Cao, Lin Chong's Lin." The old man looked at Li Muye with turbid drunken eyes and introduced himself in a voice like rolling thunder. Then in an unhappy tone: "Why did it take you so long to come?" (End of Chapter)
