"Just now, I received a call from the United States. It has been successful. All we have to do is wait for the news to be announced tomorrow."
Li Kai pondered slightly and said, "Is it really okay for us to do this?"
"There is a problem, and it will be a lot of trouble." Li Bancheng answered directly.
"That……"
Seeing his son's hesitation, Li Bancheng said gently: "To do business, you must do business in the east of the city or in the south of the city. Many times we cannot do business on both sides at the same time. There are issues of strength, and there are also issues between the east and the south of the city.
It’s a problem that the two sides in the south of the city don’t like each other.”
"But aren't we just living on the wall?" Li Kai asked reluctantly.
"We are just the wallflowers, but what happened to the wallflowers?"
Li Bancheng didn't care and said directly: "Business is not easy to do in the east of the city, so we will go to the south of the city. Business in the south of the city is not easy to do, so we will go to the east of the city. Merchants do business not based on feelings, but based on profits.
."
"But father, you said before that we want to focus on investing in the mainland market..." Li Kai was still hesitant.
"In the Mainland, it is more realistic than businessmen."
Li Bancheng's eyes shone with wisdom, and he said: "The mainland needs investment, and it needs Hong Kong businessmen and overseas Chinese like us to bring back dollars from outside to stimulate the mainland economy."
"Under this general premise, if we do what we want to do, the mainland won't care too much."
While speaking, Li Bancheng walked around to Li Kai, patted his shoulder and said: "A Kai, you are the successor I trained. Among my several sons, you have always been the one I am most satisfied with. You are very similar in every aspect."
I."
"But one thing is, you have never been poor. You have never experienced dragging people along at the train station just to sell plastic flowers for a profit of 5 cents, and being looked down upon. You have to sell them for a day, scream until your throat is smoking, but have no money to eat.
I can only eat steamed buns or even go hungry."
"So you're not ruthless enough. You can't do our job without being ruthless."
"The mainland needs us to boost the economy. We can also make money, and it's a lot of money. Why don't we go?"
"Why doesn't the mainland welcome us?"
"In the final analysis, we have enough strength. We have enough chips to play with the dealer at any card table. Without enough chips, of course we can't do such a thing, but now..."
"We are capable, and we are doing it with great fanfare. Who can do anything to us?"
Li Kai nodded slowly and said, "I understand, father."
"Just understand."
Li Bancheng patted Li Kai's shoulder again and said, "After tomorrow, our life will be more difficult. Please prepare yourself and go to the United States with me tomorrow night."
"Avoid the limelight?" Li Kai asked.
"It's just a way to avoid the limelight. This guy Huo Zhenzhou has caused me a lot of trouble overtly and covertly in the past few days, which has made me very embarrassed. When things happen tomorrow, he will definitely get worse. Let's stay out of trouble for now."
"The most important thing is that the equity swap with Mobil gives us the opportunity to penetrate into the deepest elite class in the United States. This will be of great help to our future development. We have to build good relationships...especially the Rockefeller family. This
It is related to whether we can reach a tacit understanding with the Freemasons."
"OK."
When Li Kai heard the three words "Freemasonry", he thought about it with twinkling eyes, gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Go ahead."
…
The next day, Li Jin was woken up by Zhao Zili while he was sleeping.
"Mr. Li."
Opening the door and looking at Zhao Zili who looked embarrassed outside, Li Jin asked, "What's wrong?"
He knew that Zhao Zili would not disturb his rest unless there was something particularly urgent.
Now that I'm here, something unexpected must have happened.
"Reynoldsson is here, he wants to meet and talk with you."
Hearing Zhao Zili's words, Li Jin raised his eyebrows, turned back to the room to get dressed, and asked: "Has the report been released?"
