Chapter 505 Are you going to abscond?(1/2)
The temperature in Baiyun City has dropped sharply recently. It was still in the 20s a few days ago, and the sun was shining brightly. Today it is only 9 degrees, and my hands and feet are freezing as soon as I go out.
At noon, Ning Xuehua specially stewed a pot of old hen soup and served it steaming hot on the table. There seemed to be a sense of warmth in the room.
During the dinner, Lu Ding said to Lu Yiming: "Are you going to attend the business symposium in Baiyun City? The official has sent an invitation letter." Lu Yiming was not interested at all in this kind of official meeting, so he immediately said: "On your behalf.
It's fine if I go, it's not necessary that I be there." Lu Ding felt in his heart when he heard this.
Some were sour and retorted: "Your name is written on the invitation, why should I go? It's just playing the piano randomly, you are not afraid of being gossiped about." As a father, he still has a competitive spirit, and now Lu Yiming is all
After receiving the invitation, he was not included in the invitation. Of course he was not happy.
Lu Yiming naturally saw Lu Ding's worried look, and immediately coaxed him and said, "It's their honor for you to attend the meeting in person. They didn't dare to invite you openly, for fear that they wouldn't have enough seats, so they wrote to invite me.
.If you attend in person, you will be a guest!" Lu Ding couldn't help but ask:
"Really?" Lu Yiming nodded vigorously: "Of course it's true. If they really invited me, why didn't they just send the invitation letter to me?" Lu Ding liked hearing this, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. After all,
As a father, he was still in his prime, but he was far behind his son.
So much so that when I go out now, I often hear a sentence: Look, that’s the biological father of the richest man in Lu!
In other families, it was always the father who knew the son, but when it came to him, the situation was completely reversed. Lu Ding was furious and asked: "Then why don't you go? This kind of business forum should be very important, right?"
, when the time comes, business leaders from Baiyun and even the entire southeastern coastal area may gather together and want to make connections. There is no better opportunity than this." Lu Yiming smiled and shook his head.
He thought: "I'd better forget about this kind of socializing. There's a difference in seniority. If I go there and stop there, I'll be the only one under twenty years old in the room, and I'm richer than everyone around me."
How embarrassing that scene was, and I'm afraid I have nothing in common with these seniors in the business world. Now that I have connections, you still want me to get to know them?" Although this is a crazy statement, it is true.
Now that Lu Yiming holds the title of the richest man, there are so many people who want to know him that there is no need for him to make any connections.
Moreover, age is indeed an issue. Think about it, a group of people in their 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, facing a teenager like him, nodding and fawning, that scene is disgusting enough to think about.
If I really want to go, not to mention my connections, I'm afraid my hatred points will be full.
"What's more, I have something to do during the Chinese New Year. I estimate that on the seventh and eighth day of the new year, I will have to go to the United States with my cousin. How can I have time to attend such a boring meeting?" Ning Xuehua immediately heard that her son was going abroad again.
He was a little unhappy: "Why are you going to the United States on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year? My relatives haven't left yet." Lu Yiming said with a bitter face: "I can't help it, the United States doesn't celebrate the Spring Festival, and the U.S. stock market doesn't have a holiday either.
." Lu Ding heard this
With the word "U.S. stocks", I couldn't help but look a little worried, and asked: "Are you planning to go to the United States to trade stocks?" People outside will only see Lu Yiming's scenery, and they will not care about him.
"Good luck" is envious and jealous, but Lu Ding, a father, is worried about his son
"Going astray", not doing serious business, just speculating in stocks every day
"Death-defying". These days, if you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet? Stocks make money quickly, but they also lose money faster.
During the Asian financial turmoil two years ago, countless wealthy people in Hong Kong lost everything and ended up on the rooftops. Thinking of these news still makes people feel sad.
Lu Ding was naturally afraid that Lu Yiming would follow in his footsteps, and his expression turned ugly: "Son, if you have nothing else important to do, don't go. Just have enough money. There's no guarantee that stocks will go up or down for a long time.
You will lose your bet." Lu Yiming smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, Dad, I know what I know.
Having said that, who would think that money is enough? There are many things that cannot be done without money." Lu Ding was speechless and complained: "You are worth tens of billions now, and you still tell me that it is not enough? What? You still have
Want to build a rocket?" For some reason, when Lu Yiming heard these words, a certain Silicon Valley Iron Man came to mind.
"Don't worry about building rockets. After all, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. I plan to build the chip first." Seeing Lu Yiming's serious look, it didn't look like he was joking. Lu Ding was so scared that he dropped his chicken legs: "Yeah.
Ye? You want to make chips?" In the opinion of the young Lu Ding, making chips is not much better than making rockets.
He couldn't help but reached out and touched Lu Yiming's forehead, with a puzzled look on his face: "I don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense in broad daylight?" Lu Ding is engaged in manufacturing, so he naturally knows how important chips are.
I also know how difficult it is to make a small chip.
The country spends so much money on importing chips every year. If they were not difficult to make, they would have done it themselves. Why go out and buy them at high prices?
Isn’t that a fool? Lu Yiming pushed Lu Ding’s palm away dumbfounded, but his tone was quite firm: “I definitely want to make chips. Not only will the semiconductor industry in the future be very profitable, but more importantly, I don’t like it.
Kneel down and make money.”
"What does it mean to make money on your knees?" At this time, although Ma Shitu's "Ten Chapters of a Night Story" has been published, "Let the Bullets Fly" adapted from "The Thief of Officials" will not be released for ten years, so Lu
You must not know this story yet.
Lu Yiming sighed and said: "The industries I plan to deploy in the future will definitely involve American cheese. When the time comes, the so-called beacon country of freedom and democracy will never talk to me about freedom and democracy. They will only pinch my neck. Either I
Either die or give in. I won’t be given a third choice.” Lu Ding
Instinctively, I felt unbelievable: "The United States is a superpower, it is impossible to do such a thing, right? After all, it is a country and you are a person and a company. If they can't win against you? Then the United States is too useless. Still.
If it jams your neck, wouldn't it be useless and embarrassing if word spread?" Lu Yiming, of course
I will not argue with my father now about how the United States is not a human being. He just said: "Those who do not plan for the world are not good enough to plan for a moment, and those who do not plan for the overall situation are not good for a region. We cannot place our hopes on the moral character of our opponents, so we can always
Be prepared to fall out with the other party." This is Lu Yiming's first
Once he revealed his ambitions and plans to his family, and after Lu Ding pondered, he pressed Lu Yiming's shoulders firmly: "It seems that you have really grown up. I am very proud to have a son like you.
Whatever you want to do, just do it, and your family will fully support you." On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the sun was shining brightly.
After breakfast, Lu Yiming began to pack his suitcase. Ning Xuehua helped pack and complained: "If you don't stay at home during the Chinese New Year, why go abroad?" While talking, Ning Xuehua put on his down jacket, underwear and socks.
, toothpaste, toothbrush and other things were stuffed into the suitcase.
Looking at the density of this suitcase, Lu Yiming estimated that it would be easy to break 100 kilograms, and he was immediately depressed.
"Mom, you don't need the thermos cup of toothpaste and toothbrush. You can buy such small things anytime. Besides, I always have these things on the plane. I just need to bring a few sets with me. You can stuff them all in the suitcase.
, I can't lift it." Ning Xuehua said angrily: "The baby was born over there.
Can you use the things easily? You don’t need to mention it. You just take a car or a plane when you go out. Why go out and spend so much money on the things you have at home?" Lu Yiming said in his heart, time is money, and I have earned the time to pack things now.
I don’t know how many gadgets like this I can buy with money.
But after all, it was Ning Xuehua who had to do it, so Lu Yiming naturally said nothing. Half an hour later, Li Yiwen also came and saw Lu Yiming, with the help of Zhao Tiezhu, transporting things in large and small bags, and putting the huge Audi car in reserve.
The box was filled to the brim, and he was suddenly startled and exclaimed
"What? Are you going to abscond?" He took a closer look and said, "I've brought all the quilts with me. I'm quite prepared." Then, he saw more than ten kilograms of sausages and bacon in the trunk.
, she laughed so hard that she was out of breath: "Second aunt is afraid that you will be hungry outside."
"Stop gloating about my misfortune." Lu Yiming rolled his eyes, and then got down to business: "Have all the funds been transferred out?" Li Yiwen, who was sitting in the back seat of the car with him, immediately took out his briefcase after hearing this.
Dozens of documents, while methodically saying: "Your $2.7 billion,
They have already passed through Hong Kong, a free financial port, and used multiple channels to arrive in Europe in batches in the name of investment." Many people don't know that Hong Kong is the largest money laundering center in Asia, where everything black can be laundered white.
The various routines are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
In this small area, there are more than 1,200 underground banks, which specialize in wealth transfer business and provide various services to wealthy people.
And after their disposal, separation, and fusion, even if the funds are illegal, they can be laundered into legal ones for you in minutes.
Not to mention that Lu Yiming's money was originally brought in openly, but now it is just transferred to Europe in the name of investment.
So again, everyone is equal before the law, but rich people are often more equal.
Li Yiwen complained: "You said you have to go to such trouble to transfer all the money to Europe? Not to mention anything else, the various procedures alone cost us tens of millions." Lu Yiming didn't take it seriously and said:
"Safety comes first. You don't want to have to drive an armored vehicle out every time you go shopping for groceries, right?" The two arrived at the airport and flew to the United States.
The two slept on the plane and felt energetic after landing. Lu Yiming immediately called Bill Gates: "Bill, I heard that you have been in a bad mood recently. Do you want to go out and play golf together? Are you happy?
"Bill Gates' face turned dark when he heard this. He didn't even have time to chat with Lu Yiming. He snorted lightly and asked angrily:
"You came to the United States? What do you want to do here this time?" In the past January, Bill Gates was forced to resign as president and CEO of Microsoft. Subsequently, the American media began to report a large amount of evidence that Microsoft
The establishment of monopoly behavior undoubtedly intensified market panic and was also one of the triggers for the avalanche of the US stock market Nasdaq.
You don't need to ask to know how Bill Gates is feeling at this moment. To put it bluntly, even the death of his own father is not as uncomfortable as he is now.
After all, with the secret fueling of IBM and other old enemies, it has become clear that Microsoft has violated antitrust laws, and now all that is left is a formal judgment from the court.
Lu Yiming could guess the situation of Bill Gates at a casual glance. He smiled nonchalantly and said: "Bill, the most important thing in life is to be happy. I am here to help you get out of sadness and difficulties.
Yes, no need to thank me, we are friends after all."
"You still dare to mention this?" Thinking of Lu Yiming's false shot on Valinux two months ago and making a billion dollars from him, Bill Gates is still angry: "It's nothing.
I'll hang up now, I'm worried." Lu Yiming quickly shouted: "No, I really have something good for you this time."
"Can you still do good things?" Bill Gates showed some confusion and deep suspicion. Lu Yiming immediately assured him: "This is definitely a reliable and big deal. If you don't come, you will regret it." See Lu Yiming.
It was clear that Bill Gates finally came out to attend the appointment.
After receiving a positive reply, Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen went to a well-known local golf course in Seattle. Lu Yiming even specially made a membership here.
Holding the membership card, Li Yiwen couldn't help but said: "The United States is really stupid. The membership fee is 40,000 US dollars. When playing, there are green fees, caddy fees, golf cart fees, which can easily cost dozens.
Hundreds of dollars, there are no prices in America
Is it a round? This is clearly driving up the market price!" Lu Yiming laughed when he heard this and said: "Golf is like this, it is a gentleman's sport. What do gentlemen do without spending money?" Li Yiwen was a little unhappy: "
Then we have to come
Talking about things in this kind of place? Forty thousand dollars, why not do anything wrong, waste it like this." Lu Yiming tried to swing two shots, but the ball flew out of nowhere, but he didn't care much, and instead talked casually
Li Yiwen chatted: "Because
Beware of eavesdropping. Have you heard of the Watergate incident?" Li Yiwen finally understood Lu Yiming's intention. At the same time, he looked around and found that the entire stadium had a wide field of vision and no one could be seen within a hundred meters. He suddenly felt something in his heart.
