There are crooks everywhere, but there are very few who are high enough to be called Qian Wang. Li Muye has only met one Li Qizhi so far.
Those low-level liars are actually very common in life. Such people often have no shame at all. They lie when they open their mouths and lie when they shut up. Anyway, every word they say is deliberately and painstakingly designed to let innocent people in. He has already set it up intentionally or unintentionally. in the trap.
These traps have a common feature - that is, they prove that they are very good at it. Because they are good at it, only those who are not good at it hope to have the opportunity to hang out with him. To hang out with him, you have to pay for it. The capital is too little. If you don’t bring it, the capital is too much and they won’t agree to it—he keeps saying that you need to be cautious in investing every day. Once the money really comes into their hands, they will never look back.
This kind of small-time liar who buys and sells in one fell swoop cannot achieve big things.
What Li Muye needs is a truly high-level old man.
A big con at this level, at least Lu Yuan, seems to be honest and upright, and will never take action easily. As for Li Qizhi, who is at the level of a thousand kings, he not only needs to know superb techniques, but also has to understand the hearts of all the people in the world, and he must be able to pick up the tricks at his fingertips. The inner cultivation is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.
Early the next morning, we set off from Lu Yuan's house and hit the road again. Before leaving, Lu Yuan filled the entire trunk when he said goodbye. Mainly dried seafood, all of which are authentic wild products prepared by Lu Yuan himself. Part of it was given to Li Muye, and the other part was asked by Li Muye to pass it on to his daughter Lu Shaofen.
Regarding Ye Hongyou's incident, Lu Yuan said that he would try his best to help contact him. He hurriedly said goodbye and hurriedly said goodbye. Come and go in a hurry, embarking on the journey south again. Go all the way south along the Yellow Sea Avenue, take Lianyungang, pass through Yancheng, Nantong, Wuxi, Suzhou, and finally arrive in Shanghai safely.
Along the way, I drove a car with no brand, no insurance sign, and no environmental protection label. I didn't encounter any obstruction from the relevant administrative departments, and I drove smoothly to Shanghai. It's just that it's not that smooth when you get here. There is a 30 fee to enter the city, and cars without environmental protection labels are not allowed to enter. Li Muye's car doesn't even have compulsory insurance, and it comes from out of town. Not only is it not allowed to enter, but according to regulations, the car will be temporarily detained until the relevant procedures are completed before the car can be picked up.
We have arrived in Shanghai, and this car has basically completed its historical mission. Li Muye waved his hand and everyone got out of the car. Lao Cui was responsible for carrying all the luggage, and the group strolled into the city. Leave the car to the police uncle for placement.
This time, the traffic police were confused. There was no problem in impounding the car according to the law, but this was a foreign friend, and he was dragging his family with him. The road into the city was still far away. It would be hard to spread this matter. Nice to hear. If something big happens that has international impact, it will really be a big deal. China does not have such rules when it comes to treating foreigners. The little policeman had no choice but to ask his superiors for instructions. Got a reply: The car must be temporarily impounded, and a green channel can be opened at the relevant local department for them to go through the necessary procedures.
A police car was given as a gift and the group was led into the city.
Li Muye told Wu Lanzhu to go with the police uncle to go through the formalities for the car, and the car would be left to her for transportation. Wulanzhu's school is in Yangpu District, and the others went to find a hotel near the school to settle down first.
In the evening, Wu Lanzhu drove back, and all the temporary signs and related procedures were completed.
Li Muye called his daughter according to the number given by Lao Lu. This girl is very good at academics and is studying at Fudan University, known as the Pearl of the Orient among universities. Although Lu Yuan did not brag too much about how outstanding his daughter was, it was not difficult to tell from his simple words that this girl was definitely his pride.
A crisp and sweet voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, I am Lu Shaofen." Li Muye thought for a while and replied: "Hello, Shaofen, I am your Uncle Li, and I am the eldest brother of your father Lu Yuan. I have brought some things to you as entrustment, would you like to come to me to pick them up, or should I have time to deliver them to you another day?"
Li Muye deliberately promoted himself for a lifetime. Firstly, he made her embarrassed to bother him to send her there. Secondly, he wanted her to come and chat because he was unfamiliar with the place. Thirdly, he was a little curious about Lu Yuan's girl. Lu Yuan's Deputy Zunrong, the daughter she gave birth to will probably not be in good shape. It is said that she is a prodigy in martial arts. She must be a strong girl who can surpass the powerful girl Sun Erniang, Gu's sister-in-law.
Sure enough, the young girl had little experience. When she heard that there was an elder on the other side of the phone, she immediately said in a humble tone: "Why are you so embarrassed to send it to me? I will go and pick it up now. Where are you?"
When Lu Shaofen appeared in front of him, Li Muye had to lament that genes are really a bad thing.
The girl in front of me is nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a pair of long legs accounting for most of it. She is wearing a pair of Bonwe sports shorts and a tennis shirt on her upper body. Her long hair hangs down to her waist. She has dignified features and a high nose bridge. The white and tender oval face simply complements each other.
The most rare thing is the aura. He couldn't explain how he felt, but when Li Muye took one look at her, he felt a little guilty.
She stood at the door of the restaurant and looked around, then walked to the private room where they agreed to meet. Li Muye watched her coming through the glass, stood up and said hello: "Here, you must be Shaofen, I am Li Muye, your father's brother."
"Uncle Li?" She walked in and saw a table full of food, a family of five foreigners and a girl about her age. Especially when she saw this young Uncle Li, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Li Muye asked Wu Lanzhu to invite her in, sit down and talk, and said: "Come in quickly, don't be restrained, your father and I have been friends for more than ten years, and we are both family members. I have often heard your father talk about you as an outstanding person." Daughter, you can finally see me today."
Lu Shaofen blushed and said, "I thought I was just here to pick up something, so I came here on my bicycle. I just finished a practice match and didn't even change my clothes. It's really rude." He looked at Li Makino, unable to suppress his suspicion, asked, "Are you really my dad's friend?"
Li Muye now regretted being the elder with her, but of course he had to fight to the end at this time. He nodded and said: "Sit down quickly, I can't go wrong when I see you. Only Brother Lu's figure is worthy of raising you like this." daughter."
Lu Shaofen was forced to sit down by Wu Lanzhu. He was still a little embarrassed, looking at this and that. Li Muye smiled evilly and pointed at Lao Cui, and introduced in turn: "This is your brother Cui, sister-in-law Cui, eldest niece, youngest niece and youngest nephew, and then this is Wu Lanzhu, who is one year younger than you, so you can talk about sisters Well, your dad and I are best friends. We can’t mess up the generations, so just call me Uncle Li.”
Lu Shaofen nodded one by one, and finally introduced himself: "I am Lu Shaofen, and Lu Yuan is my father."
Wu Lanzhu said enthusiastically: "I guessed it as soon as you walked in. We ate the food cooked by your father at your house last night. It was very delicious. Compared with your father's cooking, the rice I cooked was as good as stone." It has no smell or taste like a candle.”
Her enthusiasm reduced Lu Shaofen's sense of restraint to a certain extent. She smiled and followed Wu Lanzhu's topic and said: "My dad really likes to study cooking, but I may be used to it, so I don't I think it’s very delicious.”
Li Muye said: "We passed by your house this time. Your father is older than he was five years ago. His beard is longer, more white and less black. The main reason is that your grandma's departure has been a big blow to him. Let's leave." When we were there, he held my hand and talked to me about nothing. He kept talking about you over and over again. He got up at three o'clock in the middle of the night to prepare things for the road, which filled our car. "
"Thank you, Uncle Li." Lu Shaofen said: "Actually, you don't need to say so much. I know how he treats me. Maybe it's because I'm still too young and can't bear such a harsh separation, so I always I can't forgive him. Since you are his friend, you should know that he rarely went home in those years. Grandma and I depended on each other. Regardless of the starting point of the decision he made, I really can't forgive him, so please Don’t waste your time speaking for him.”
Li Muye smiled and said: "Hey, this person who has read a lot of books has a different speaking ability than me, a rough guy. You have already said everything, what else can Uncle Li say? This kind of thing has to be done Only after more experience can you understand that when your father makes this decision, the person who suffers the most is definitely not you, the person who feels the most comfortable is your grandma." Lu Shaofen did not allow anything else to say, and expertly controlled the direction of the conversation, and changed the subject: "Forget it. , that’s all I have to say, we meet for the first time today, and my uncle actually wants to ask for something from you.”
Lu Shaofen stepped forward and asked: "If you need any help from me, just ask. Although I can't face my father, I still respect his friends. If there is anything I can do for you, I will do my best."
"The physical education college where Wu Lanzhu is studying requires three years of study. Because he joined the class halfway and the school dormitory was tight, he did not apply to live on campus. In addition, your sister-in-law Cui and the children also want to stay in this city, so I was thinking about buying them a house nearby. I heard from your dad that your school is also in Yangpu District. He has been here for almost two years, and he should be more familiar with this area than us, so I wanted to invite you to come over. Be a guide and a sounding board.”
"Buy a house?" Lu Shaofen was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief: "Uncle Li, are you serious or are you just kidding me?"
Li Muye nodded and said, "I'm very serious. I want to buy a house. It's best to have a larger apartment that will be less disturbed and as close to the campus as possible."
"That costs a lot of money." Lu Shaofen said: "Although the housing prices in Yangpu District are relatively low among the districts in Shanghai, it is about 10,000 yuan per square meter. Even if it is far away from Hongkou District, it is relatively poor. It costs at least six to seven thousand yuan."
It truly deserves to be the most developed first-tier city in China. The most expensive house in Coal City currently has a unit price of less than 4,000 square meters. It is a single-family villa. They are all inferior to the unit price of old apartment buildings in the most remote areas of the city.
Money shouldn't be an issue. Li Muye thought about it in his mind.
After divorcing Diana, he currently directly controls 80% of the shares of Makino International Trade, the largest multinational trading company in Moscow. The other 20% belongs to Kirichenko, and is managed by Lao Chu with full authority.
Makino Agriculture, which cooperates with the federal government, owns 25% of the equity. The largest shareholder is the federal government, but Diana holds 30%. Bai Peng serves as CRO and also owns 5% of the equity.
The Anna Gold and Jewelry Group, which is operated in cooperation with the Federal International Trade Commission, still has 20% of the equity. However, after the divorce, Diana received 25%, St. Petersburg City Bank held 38%, and Anna Sayyaf owns seventeen percent.
The trading company's main business is the most extensive and its profitability is also the strongest. The profit margin of domestically in-demand commodities has always been very high, and the specialty food and furs of the Yakutia region can also bring huge profits. In addition, the company's trade list Recently, gems and oil from the North Caucasus have been added, which is also an explosive profit growth point. Now, Li Muye himself doesn't know exactly how much money he has on hand.
The company is on a rapid growth track, and money is being spent everywhere. It looks very lively, but in fact, there are limits to the funds that can be spent. Before leaving, Diana had explained that if money was needed, a cash flow of up to US$100 million could be mobilized without affecting the company's operations and development. Any more would affect the time for payment to the Yakutia region. .
One hundred million US dollars is not the limit. Because Yakutia can actually give less money, or even not give it at all. As long as it doesn't go too far, Comrade Anasayev won't have much objection. At least it will not lower the credit rating of Anna Jewelry Group.
Although it has reached the oligarch level in terms of financial resources, it is actually far from reaching the level of others in terms of cash flow and family wealth. Take the person who went to the British peninsula to play football last year. After spending a lot of money, he spent 500 million pounds just to buy clubs and stars. This is called being wealthy, and it relies on a strong family background. In terms of the scale of the company alone, Li Muye was really not convinced by this person.
But it's useless not to be convinced. Their money is the old foundation that was divided up during the oligarchic era. In addition, it was sprayed from the ground in the oil-for-bread policy, and the labor cost is extremely low. However, Li Muye's business requires a lot of funds to maintain channels. It started late, has a weak foundation, and its natural conditions are not better than others. Comparing the two, naturally the degree of cash flow needs is different.
Of course, this is compared to those business oligarchs. In today's country, those with 100 million US dollars at their disposal are already very few and far between. Housing prices in Shanghai began to soar in 2003, reaching a peak in April 2005, and have now entered a relatively stable stage.
I remember when leaving Moscow, Lao Chu said before seeing him off that the country was focusing on developing the economy of southeastern coastal cities and building Shanghai into the leading international metropolitan city in the Far East. This old man is well-informed and his words are quite reliable.
When Li Muye returned to China this time, he actually had the intention of living in this city. This trip to send Wu Lanzhu to school also meant to examine the local economic and cultural environment.
"Let's do this." Li Muye brought his thoughts back to the present and said, "Tomorrow is the weekend. See if you can arrange the time. You can take us to a better area to have a look."
"The volleyball team has a training session tomorrow morning. I have nothing to do in the afternoon. I'll come to the hotel to find you at two o'clock."
"Then it's settled. You have a good meal first, and when you're done, let Lao Cui take you back. I also have an agreement with others, so I'll take the first step." Li Muye glanced at the time, and asked Lao Lu to help him more and more. Ye Hong, who was meeting, decided to meet at eight o'clock. It was time to meet this thousand-king figure from the previous generation. (End of chapter)
