Chapter 516 I don't want to live anymore(2/2)
Seeing Lu Yiming's high-spirited face, Wei Dong was filled with hatred, but on the surface he pretended to smile bitterly, shook his head and said: "Mr. Lu, I am really unfamiliar with the place in America and have no friends, so I can't
I don’t have the audacity to come to my door for help. For the sake of everyone coming from the Xia Kingdom, you have to give me a hand!"
Lu Yiming stared at Wei Dong. After hearing his answer, he said calmly: "Hey, Mr. Wei, please don't say that. We are all from China. I will definitely help you if I can. Tell me.
Look, what difficulties have you encountered?"
Wei Dong then told the truth about his failure in stock trading.
Then, he said with a sincere look: "Now, the principal of 2 billion has been lost, and only more than 700 million are left. If I just return to China in such a dejected manner, there is no way I can explain it to the investors behind me. So what?
, I came here this time to learn from you, Mr. Lu, and at the same time, I hope you can lend a helping hand and lend me a sum of funds."
Before Lu Yiming could speak, Wei Dong continued: "Don't worry, I won't take the money for free. I will use the shares of the Yongjin Department as collateral. If we get through this difficulty this time, I will definitely keep this kindness in my heart. In the future, Mr. Lu, you will
But if I have an assignment, I will never refuse."
Lu Yiming fell into deep thought.
In business, many friends lead to many paths.
What's more, the Yongjin Department is still very famous in the country. Not only is it strong in strength, but the key is its wide network of contacts. If you can make good friends with Wei Dong and invest in a company in the Yongjin Department, there will be countless benefits.
Next to him, Li Yiwen was a little moved when he heard that Wei Dong was willing to use the Yongjin Group's shares as collateral.
After all, he is Lu Yiming's accountant. Lu Yiming only knows that the Yongjin Department is pretty awesome, but Li Yiwen clearly knows how awesome the Yongjin Department is.
In his opinion, Wei Dong was indeed sincere this time.
But what Li Yiwen and Wei Dong didn't expect was that after Lu Yiming thought for a while, he showed a troubled expression: "Mr. Wei, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you have also seen my current situation, and there is really nothing I can do to help you."
There are already tens of millions of horses running wildly in Wei Dong's heart - you are making waves in the U.S. stock market. It has been said in the news that the profit you made this time is worth a billion dollars at least. Now you tell me that you
Can't help?
However, at the moment, Wei Dong couldn't have a showdown with Lu Yiming, and immediately begged: "Mr. Lu, they all say that there are four great joys in life. When you meet an old friend in a foreign land, you can't just ignore it. You are the richest man, how can you get more than one billion?"
Can’t even take it out?”
Lu Yiming, however, did not answer Wei Dong's words at all. Instead, he complained to him: "Mr. Wei, you don't know something now. FBI, you know, right? I made some money in the US stock market, and they are not happy.
Directly ask the FBI to come after me. Although there is no formal arrest, I can only stay in this villa and cannot go out. It is like house arrest."
"As for the money I earned from the stock market, it is still lying in the account of Saltwater Fund Company. I can't touch it at all."
Regarding Lu Yiming's excuse, Wei Dong didn't believe it at all: "How is that possible?"
This is completely true, so Lu Yiming is very confident: "How is it impossible? If you don't believe it, you can ask Saltwater Fund or the FBI. If I have a punctuation mark to deceive you,
I’ll just take out two billion US dollars and give it to you for free, okay?”
Lu Yiming had already said this, and Wei Dong had no choice but to stand up and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave first."
Lu Yiming nodded slightly and shouted: "Tie Zhu, see the guests off."
As soon as Wei Dong left, Li Yiwen asked curiously: "Why didn't you agree to him? Do you have a grudge against him?"
Lu Yiming rolled his eyes and said, "I haven't met him even a few times, so what grudge can I have against him?"
"Then you don't like him?"
Lu Yiming laughed out loud: "He's not as handsome as me, not as young as me, and he's not even as rich as me. Why do I dislike him?"
"Then why don't you help him? There are advantages to being able to break into the Gold Surge system."
Lu Yiming suddenly said: "I just asked him a question, asking him if he had any other friends and connections in the United States. How did he answer at that time?"
Li Yiwen was puzzled and recalled the scene just now in his mind: "He said that he had just come to the United States and was not familiar with the place. This is normal. Is there anything wrong?"
Lu Yiming patted Li Yiwen on the shoulder and said, "Cousin, let me tell you, this person can lack anything in his life, but he cannot lack a heart."
Li Yiwen glanced at Lu Yiming and said in a bad tone: "Are you saying I am short-sighted?"
Lu Yiming immediately waved his fingers for Li Yiwen to analyze: "Look, we just lived here yesterday, and Alex Acosta kept saying that no one would disturb me and ensure my safety. Logically speaking,
Not many people probably know that I live here, right?"
Li Yiwen came back to his senses and was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He suddenly realized: "Yes, even the reporter didn't know we moved here. How did he know!?"
Seeing that Li Yiwen understood the key to the problem, Lu Yiming sighed and said coldly: "Wei Dong suddenly came to see me. Someone must have told him that I was here. And if this person knows where I live now, he will naturally have great eyes and hands.
Wei Dong is asking me for advice and borrowing money. Regardless of whether he really needs help or has other agendas, I just need to remain unchanged in response to any changes."
After speaking, Lu Yiming stood up and said with emotion: "Everything in this world, at critical moments, you do more and make more mistakes, do less and make fewer mistakes, and it's better not to do anything. As long as I don't do anything now, no one can catch me."
My handle, if that's the case, do you think I have to take risks to help him when I'm full?"
Li Yiwen deeply agreed: "You are right, at this time, we really should be quiet and not move."
New York, Times Square.
In an upscale bar not far from the New York Stock Exchange, George Soros told Cliff Asness and James Chanos: "The plan failed. Lu Yiming was not fooled."
James Chanos regretted this very much: "That guy named Wei Dong, whenever Lu Yiming gave him money or told him which stocks to buy, we could use the prepared recordings to collect evidence to prove his insider trading. Unexpectedly
He didn't fall for the trick. Could it be that he has a bad relationship with that Wei Dong?"
Soros was also a little unwilling: "I originally planned to let Wei Dong get the money from Lu Yiming, and then short Microsoft. In this way, based on the relationship between Lu Yiming and Bill Gates, he can be accused of related transactions."
, after things got serious, even the people behind him couldn't protect him. Unfortunately, he seemed to be very alert and did not fall into the trap we set."
Cliff Asness cursed loudly: "This Wei Dong is such a waste, he can't even handle such a small thing."
Then, he looked at George Soros: "What should we do next?"
George Soros sighed: "There is no other way. With Alex Acosta and Epstein watching, many of our shady methods cannot be used on Lu Yiming. Now they can only be used on public opinion."
Work hard and hope a miracle will happen."
Cliff Asness and James Chanos both looked indignant after hearing this.
"Lu Yiming is so shameless, he actually found a protective umbrella in advance!"
"That's right, otherwise it's just a Xia countryman. If we just arrest him, we won't just deal with him casually?"
In their view, those Xia people who refuse to be slaughtered are not good Xia people.
In the next few days, Wei Dong, who still refused to give up, came to see Lu Yiming several times a day, which made Lu Yiming take the trouble to thank guests behind closed doors and not bother to see him.
A few days later, Zhao Tiezhu suddenly said to Lu Yiming: "I found someone to follow Wei Dong secretly, and found that there were indeed people in secret contact with him. However, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, there is no way to know the identities of those people for the time being."
Lu Yiming waved his hand: "This is the United States. It's enough to get to this point. Now we shouldn't act rashly, lest we get burned. Wait for them to take action first. We will see the situation. The troops will stop them, and the water will cover them."
"Okay Mr. Lu."
Lu Yiming touched the stubble on his chin, and was very confused in his heart: "This Wei Dong, wasn't it said that he was very arrogant before? Why is he willing to be driven by others now? Is it because he lost money? Who are the people behind him?
Who is it? And what are your plans for me?"
Various doubts lingered in Lu Yiming's mind, leaving him puzzled.
