"You have something to do on the phone?" Lu Rui said to Lin Ruolan with a smile, reaching out to push Liu Bin aside who was eavesdropping curiously next to him.
Lin Ruolan didn't know the situation here, but continued softly: "The matter of YouTube has been negotiated. The red shirt invested 100 million US dollars, accounting for 40% of the shares. Speaking of which, how do you know they are interested in this?
Why is the project so serious?”
Lu Rui chuckled: "You have also seen the results of Google's listing. If YouTube has the opportunity to threaten Google's position, do you believe it?"
Lin Ruolan was startled, then asked in surprise: "What do you mean?"
Showing a confident smile, Lu Rui said lightly: "The red shirt's thoughts are just as you guessed, otherwise do you think they would be willing to spend this money?"
Lin Ruolan fell into silence. She had gradually become numb to Lu Rui's judgment. Just like Lin Tiannan had some objections to Lu Rui's decision at the beginning, now it is all about what Lu Rui said and what he did.
No matter that much. Even Bao Heng, who invested in record companies and economic companies in South Korea, was also like this at this time. With Lu Rui's guidance from behind, he took advantage of the sharp decline in the stock price of S, M Entertainment to acquire a large number of stocks.
, suddenly became its third largest shareholder, and also cooperated with South Korea's CJ Group under the coordination of Samsung Group.
As a large enterprise group in South Korea, CJ Group owns many industries in South Korea and has abundant funds. It has invested and set up factories in China since 1997, and in 2000, it established a large feed factory in Wudu, Xichuan. However, their
The response of the products in the Chinese market has not been high. This year, CJ Group is preparing to enter the Chinese market on a large scale and is preparing to operate in five major industries: food, catering services, bioengineering, new circulation, media and entertainment, in 19 provinces and cities in China. And it has profound
Bao Heng in the background looked like he was extending an olive branch to them, and he was naturally what CJ Group wanted.
In return, Bao Heng, on behalf of the angel investment established in the name of Lin Ruolan, officially became the major shareholder of mnet, a subsidiary of CJ Group. Mnet is Asia's largest music entertainment company and the most famous online business channel in South Korea. It can independently produce complete
Entertainment and music programs are broadcast on a rolling basis every day. Its trend-setting original music has a huge influence on the younger generation. It has three subsidiaries, synnaramusic, corecentensmedia, and f&cmusic, and has its own independent mnet music station. This makes Bao Bao
Heng became a famous entertainment tycoon in South Korea inadvertently, and because of his red background, many people were afraid of him.
At the beginning, Lin Ruolan didn't understand why Lu Rui asked her to invest money in the Korean entertainment industry. However, as she learned more and more about the Korean entertainment industry, even Lin Tiannan had to admire Lu Rui's thoughtfulness.
South Korea is just a small place, but there are as many stars as China, and the update speed is extremely fast. Stars often disappear as quickly as they become famous. But among these people, we must admit that Koreans worship stars
It has reached a certain point. Lin Ruolan and others have even heard of Koreans chartering flights to watch concerts abroad just to catch a glimpse of celebrities.
Lu Rui once said with a smile to Lin Ruolan: "If I need political achievements at any time, let Bao Heng recruit these Korean stars to hold a concert for me. I estimate that the foreign exchange earned will be enough for me to advance to the next level.
.”
In fact, Lu Rui had no choice. After all, her relationship with Lin Ruolan could not be hidden from the big guys. Lin Ruolan's Facebook would definitely become a "money printing machine" making money every day in the future. However, it was precisely because of her sensitive identity.
If he always relies on her investment to create political achievements for himself, it is very likely that he will live up to his words. Lu Rui can only leave a way out for himself first. After all, he knows how much RMB the so-called Hallyu stars in later generations have taken away in China.
, instead of letting them make money for Koreans, it would be more practical to make money for themselves.
For Lu Rui, this is just a piece of cake. His thoughts are more on officialdom. Men's desire for power is far stronger than money.
"Ruolan, when will you return to China?" Lu Rui asked.
Lin Ruolan hesitated for a moment and replied apologetically: "I'm sorry, YouTube has just redistributed its equity here, and Facebook is not on the right track yet. I'm afraid there will be nothing we can do in the short term..." She also felt very sorry that she and Lu Rui were like this
For a year, we could only communicate by phone. Because Dahong County is located in a remote area, Lu Rui couldn't even use a computer, so he could only use the phone to comfort his lovesickness.
He smiled bitterly in his heart, but Lu Rui persuaded him: "It's okay, the company's matters are more important."
They chatted affectionately for a while, and when Lu Rui put down the phone, he found that Zhang Tianhao and Liu Bin were looking at him with strange expressions on their faces. Zhang Tianhao was okay, just looking at him up and down, while Liu Bin had already rushed over.
In front of him, he said with surprise: "Lin Ruolan really has a net worth of hundreds of millions in the United States?"
Lu Rui smiled, nodded and said, "If you include the US$100 million investment just received from the red-shirt investors, Ruolan's current net worth is higher than that."
"Holy shit!" Liu Bin blurted out a curse word and looked at Lu Rui with wide eyes, not hiding the surprised expression on his face: "You kid really found a treasure! You are a billionaire!"
Rolling his eyes, Lu Rui had long been accustomed to this guy's expression. Bao Heng, Zhao Yuyang and others were also like this at first, but he still didn't want others to think that he was a freeloader. The most important thing was that
, he didn't want others to think that Lin Ruolan's achievements today had anything to do with the Lin family, so Lu Rui looked at Liu Bin seriously and said something in an understatement that made both Liu Bin and Zhang Tianhao jump up.
"Ruolan earned all her money through my guidance." After saying this with a calm expression, Lu Rui turned around and entered the bedroom and began to change clothes, leaving the two of them standing with dull faces, as if they were wood carvings and clay sculptures.
Man in the living room.
"Binzi, what did Lu Rui say just now?" After a while, Zhang Tianhao pulled Liu Bin, who was still in a daze, and asked.
Liu Bin was obviously shocked by the news, and said in a daze: "He said that Lin Ruolan was able to make so much money because of his guidance."
Zhang Tianhao shook his head dumbly: "No way? He gave the instructions? Is it true?"
"It seems, maybe, it's probably true. There has long been a rumor in the circle that Lin Ruolan's man is a business wizard. It was this guy's idea that made Lin Tiannan's first pot of gold. Later, even Bao Heng of the Bao family made money in South Korea.
Quite a bit." Liu Bin just said the news he heard in a silly manner, completely unaware that Zhang Tianhao's face next to him had darkened.
Zhang Tianhao just looked at Liu Bin and listened to him continue: "I heard from my buddies in Beijing that Lu Rui and Lin Ruolan were kicked out of the Lin family. Lin Ruolan didn't have a dime when she came out of the Lin family except for her clothes.
, as a result, when they arrived in the United States, they immediately created Wupu.com and another website with a weird name with their bare hands. Even Lin Tiannan ignored the obstruction from his family and took the initiative to invest. A few days ago, there were rumors in Beijing that Lin Ruolan was worth
Over 100 million, I’m still surprised, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”
At this time, Lu Rui had already changed his clothes, and happened to hear Liu Bin's words. He shook his head helplessly and said: "That one is not called Mupu.com, it is Facebook, and the other one is called YouTube, but now the equity has been sold to Sequoia Investments.
Part of it.”
Zhang Tianhao's throat twitched. Although he knew his question was a bit silly, he still asked: "What do you mean? You helped Lin Ruolan come up with these two things, right?"
Nodding matter-of-factly, Lu Rui said calmly: "Of course, why else do you think Ruolan called me? You know, her plan was to sell it to Sequoia Investment for US$100 million, but I blocked it.
"
A joking expression flashed across his face, and Lu Rui suddenly said: "If any of you have relatives doing business, I might consider letting Ruolan become a shareholder. The angel investment under her name is currently looking for domestic investment projects."
The result of these words was that along the way, Lu Rui was looked at by Zhang Tianhao and Liu Bin as if he were a national treasure panda. To be honest, it was not a good feeling. After all, it would be better if two beauties kept staring at you, but if
It's a bit awkward if it's two grown men.
"Lu Rui, are we buddies?" Liu Bin suddenly said this while staring at Lu Rui's face.
Lu Rui nodded helplessly: "Of course."
"Okay, brother, I will give you the wife's book and private money that I have saved over the years, and you can ask Lin Ruolan to invest. I don't ask too much, as long as I can earn twice as much." Liu Bin smiled extremely flatteringly, and Lu Rui was helpless.
He glanced at Zhang Tianhao who had the same expression next to him: "Is that what you mean?"
Zhang Tianhao shook his head: "You and your sister-in-law can discuss whether you can let her invest in Bifang City. You also know that my brother has taken office as a new official and needs investment."
Lu Rui smiled helplessly, pointed at it with his finger, and said lightly: "Brother Zhang, do you think they can agree?"
Zhang Tianhao hesitated, then smiled bitterly. He naturally understood what Lu Rui meant. The bosses above would not allow Lin Ruolan to invest in the place where Lu Rui worked. Wouldn't that mean he would open a mom-and-pop shop?
Seeing the disappointed look on his face, Lu Rui chuckled and said, "Brother Zhang, don't be anxious. Political achievements cannot be achieved in a day or two. Let's stabilize the situation in the city first."
Zhang Tianhao was not the kind of person who was ignorant, so he nodded and said nothing more.
As the car kept driving through the foggy city, Lu Rui said in slight surprise: "Where are we going?"
With a smile, Liu Bin showed a smile that a man would understand and said: "Today, brothers will take you to the most famous and luxurious Qingcheng Yixiao Club in Fog City. There are many beauties in the bar."
