At the same time.
At the Golden Tripod Club.
Han Yu's expression was not very good. Chen Rui and the rest also had ugly expressions.
After a long time, Chen Rui said with some difficulty, "Lehman's bankruptcy won't affect us, right?"
Han Yu lightly sighed and shook her head, "It shouldn't be. The central bank has already released a new policy to stimulate the financial and real estate markets. There might be some impact in the short term, but it should recover after some time. The domestic regulation of the financial market is still very strong, and a series of policies will be released next. Let's wait a little longer. "
"Wait? If the real estate market is not as good as it is now half a year later, then won't we … "
Chen Rui could not continue. The real estate market this year was not very hot, but in June, the domestic real estate market gradually eased.
The few people present all had a background in the government.
In their view, the domestic real estate market still needed to stimulate the economy and boost the GDP. The cold winter of the real estate market should be over soon.
Once the winter is over, the previously mentioned one or two billion yuan would not be their goal.
In fact, before this, everyone had extravagant hopes that if the real estate market could recover to the popularity of 2007 half a year later, then they might be able to make four or five billion yuan in profit.
Of course, extravagant hopes were extravagant hopes, and they did not really expect that it would really recover so quickly.
But even if it did not recover, no one thought that it would continue to fall.
However, the bankruptcy of Lehman, the stock market plunged, and the governments of various countries were facing a formidable enemy, which made everyone feel a little cold.
Chen Rui and the rest did not know much about the international market.
But one thing they understood was that the US was now the wind vane of the world economy.
If the US was not doing well, Hua Xia's side would not be doing well either.
Chen Rui slammed the table with some resentment, and said angrily, "If I knew this would happen, I would have waited a little longer. Now this matter has become a mess. I just transferred the money yesterday, and now this happened! Those Americans are also idiots. How can a company like Lehman go down just like that? If it was in China … "
Zhuang Fan said lightly, "If it were in China, an investment bank like Lehman wouldn't even survive for eight months, let alone 158 years."
After mocking Chen Rui, Zhuang Fan gently knocked on the table and said slowly, "Do you think this is part of Li Dong's plan?"
"A scheme?"
Han Yu frowned slightly. Chen Rui also frowned and said, "You're overestimating him! Could he predict Lehman's bankruptcy?
Forget about him, even the government's financial experts and economists from various departments didn't expect this.
Even the American government had only made up their minds a few days ago whether or not to save Lehman.
I admit that we didn't pick a good time, but I don't believe that it was Li Dong's plan.
Moreover, if he was really that good and could calculate this point, why would he be so busy with the Far away City project?
If the real estate market really entered a cold winter, would he invest a large amount in it? "
As soon as this was said, Zhuang Fan couldn't help but nod.
Indeed, he had some doubts before. Did he and others fall into Li Dong's scheme? Did Li Dong predict that a strong financial crisis would break out?
But thinking about it carefully, if Li Dong really predicted it, then why did he hoard so much land? Was he courting death?
Zhuang Fan was slightly relieved in his heart. It was good that it was not like this. If it was really like this, then he should be afraid.
No matter how powerful the conspiracy was, he was not afraid.
There were many smart people in this world. It was not unacceptable to be schemed by others.
But if even such a major event that affected the world economy could be calculated, then it was too scary.
Putting these thoughts aside, Zhuang Fan continued, "Since it's not like this, then it's easy.
The domestic policy will continue to be released. The government will not watch the financial market collapse.
The 1997 financial crisis did not affect the country. At that time, Hua Xia's strength was much weaker than now, but she still managed to withstand it.
Now, I don't think the problem is too big.
And even if there is an impact, there will not be a bubble in the real estate market. The land price may fall, but it won't be worthless.
Everyone doesn't have to worry too much. At most, we will just wait for half a year in vain. No matter what, we won't lose much. "
Chen Rui said angrily, "You put it so nicely. We are here to earn money. If we don't lose much, then it will be a huge loss! And we are lending a few billion free of charge to Li Dong to withstand the pressure. Are we here to earn money or to be good people? "
Zhuang Fan's eyes turned cold and he snorted, "Are you talking to me? Chen Rui, don't think that we are sitting together now, and you are on equal footing with me! Also, if there is really a loss, you will have to bear the responsibility. Back then, you said it so nicely, 100% profit, just like picking up money from the ground. Billions is not a problem! The few people who are participating now believe in you, that's why they invested money. I'm fine with it, I'm not a person who likes to haggle over every ounce, but you guys have to think about the consequences of losing those people's money! "
Chen Rui's face changed, and he felt a chill in his heart.
It was fine if he lost his own money, but if he lost those people's money, then it would be over.
Everyone's money did not fall from the sky. This time, the total investment was 5 billion, and there were more than 20 participants.
The minimum was tens of millions, and the maximum was a few hundred million. It could be said that this money was not even their own money.
Don't think that all second generations were rich. Many of them were living for the moment. They did not have to worry about food and drinks, but they did not have money on hand.
Other than those who controlled key departments, and those in their families who were good at doing business, there were very few people in the circle who could really take out a large sum of money.
This time, the people who joined forces, some of them had money, and some of them knew that they could make money, so they pooled their money together.
Bank money, borrowed money, and even some people used money that they should not have used.
Once something happened, and they could not get their money back, one could imagine what the consequences would be.
Not to mention Chen Rui, even Han Yu could not bear this responsibility.
As Chen Rui's expression changed, Han Yu's expression also turned a little ugly. After a while, Han Yu frowned and said, "Isn't it too much to think about this now? Everyone is in the same boat now. If something really happens, no one will be happy. Besides, the matter is not as serious as you think. Is it fun to scare yourself? "
Zhuang Fan smiled faintly and did not speak again.
Chen Rui hesitated for a moment, and the corner of his mouth twitched. After a while, he said, "Are we still going to transfer the remaining 1 billion?"
Han Yu could not help but say angrily, "Are you an idiot? If we don't transfer the money, there's no need to wait for the future. Li Dong dares to deduct 2 billion from us now! Even if the real estate market really collapses, we will not lose that much. We did nothing, and you let Li Dong earn 2 billion for nothing. Are you going to give us this money? "
At this moment, Han Yu was also suppressing a bellyful of anger. This plan could be said to be stifling to the extreme.
Ever since Sun Yuehua and the rest came, she had lost her authority.
She did not have much say in the entire plan.
That was fine. At least the final plan was completed, and it was considered successful.
But suddenly, there was a huge change in the world's economic situation, and the country was also affected. Everyone was panicking.
And Zhuang Fan just had to provoke her at this time. If anything happened, she would have to take responsibility!
Han Yu was furious. Take responsibility?
During the implementation of the plan, I said to focus on the supermarket. Who listened to me?
Every one of them spoke logically. Dong Yu Real Estate's side was guaranteed to be profitable. It was the safest and safest option.
But in the end, if they had listened to her, this would not have happened!
Now that the situation was not looking good, these people immediately shirked responsibility, and she was the one in charge again!
Also, Chen Rui was an idiot!
Return the money or not? If you don't, Li Dong will dare to deduct your money!
If it was someone else, they might not dare to take the contract seriously.
A contract was not as important as a favor or background. In the past, everyone had broken contracts.
In the end, 99% of people would choose to compromise.
But even an idiot would know that it would not work with Li Dong.
If Li Dong was a coward, he would have been eaten alive. This fellow had offended so many people because he was brave.
Chen Rui wanted to do the same with Li Dong. Not to mention 2 billion, he might not even get 4 billion back.
If this dragged on for a few years, who would be able to bear it?
Now, the only thing they could do was to transfer the money over. The contract was established, and they could only wait.
After all, Han Yu came from a family of officials, so she wasn't completely clueless about politics.
She knew that this situation would not last for long.
The real estate market would recover sooner or later. It was hard to say how long it would take, but it would not fall too much in half a year.
At most, she would earn less, or not earn any money, or even suffer a little loss. She could accept it now.
At this moment, Han Yu made up her mind again. In the future, she would never work with these guys again!
When it came to eating meat, they ran faster than anyone else. When it came to taking responsibility, they would turn their backs on her. They were even more ruthless than those people in the circle who were just eating and waiting to die.
Zhuang Fan, Sun Yuehua, Shen Xuehua …
On the surface, these people looked cultured and polite, with smiles on their faces.
But their hearts were blacker than Han Yu's, and their blood was colder than hers.
This time, Han Yu had completely seen through them. Compared to them, she was still too inexperienced. She was not even as good as Zhuang Fan.
If one wanted to stand out in this day and age, they had to be black-hearted, cold-blooded, and thick-skinned.
Exhaling, Han Yu said in a low voice, "Send the money over today. The sooner, the better. Let's settle this matter as soon as possible. If we really suffer a loss … "
As Han Yu spoke, she glanced at Chen Rui and changed the topic. "Think of a way to get Hu Wanlin out as soon as possible."
However, Chen Rui understood the meaning of this sentence.
If they really suffered a loss, they would get the money from Hu Wanlin.
After all, photosynthesis was worth a lot of money. It was one thing to lose other people's money, but they could not lose their own.
Chen Rui's face darkened. He wanted to refute, but he knew that it was useless.
After cursing them in his heart, Chen Rui said reluctantly, "I'll think of a way. Wu Changguo is not giving face. Li Dong has come out, but Hu Wanlin is not. Sister Yu, why don't you say something? "
"Me?" Han Yu frowned. "I can't do it. You think of a way yourself. Aren't you working with Wang Siwen and Zhang Qing? This time, they have a share in the money too. Let them help. Jiangbei won't be completely useless. Settle this matter as soon as possible! Tomorrow, I have to make a trip back to the capital … "
Chen Rui did not care if she left or not. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister Yu, about Li Dong … do you think you can help me settle this matter?"
This was what they had agreed on before. Chen Rui would cooperate with them to carry out the plan.
But after the plan was carried out, Han Yu and the others had to help him settle Li Dong's matter.
During this period, Li Dong was extremely busy. Far away, he had many things to do, so he had no time to care about Chen Rui.
But once the matter was over, Chen Rui knew that he would be in danger.
Han Yu was somewhat displeased when she heard that. She said, "What kind of dirt did they catch on you? Haven't you thought of a way after all these days? If it doesn't work, you can go back to the capital. Can Li Dong still chase after you? "
Chen Rui glanced at Zhuang Fan. After a while, he coughed and said, "This matter is not easy to solve. But if no one chases after him, it won't be a big problem."
He had a lot of things to do, but as long as no one chased after him, it would not be a big problem.
But if someone chased after him, he would not be able to escape unless he left the country now.
Although Han Yu was very unwilling, her cooperation with Chen Rui had not expired yet. She reluctantly said, "I will think of a way. Zhuang Fan, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"
Zhuang Fan yawned and said lazily. "I am not a government official. I don't have any good ideas. If it doesn't work, let him beg Li Dong himself. "
"You!"
Chen Rui's face was livid. A group of bastards, burning the bridge after crossing the river!
If he could really beg Li Dong, why would he come to them?
If it were not for some scruples, Chen Rui would have the thought of smashing Zhuang Fan's head with a punch!
Just when the atmosphere was a little heavy, there was a sudden voice from the side.
…
"Jia Sheng, it's rare for you to come here. I will change to another venue for you. There are people in this venue, and it's very noisy …"
Jia Wenhao smiled and declined. "CEO Ji, you don't have to be so polite. You don't have to specially entertain me. I will stay for a while and leave."
Ji Lanxin smiled and said, "No way. Jia Sheng is a rare guest. Our tennis court has just been refurbished. Do you want to go to the tennis court to have a look?"
"No need. Let's go to the bowling alley. I heard that the bowling alley here is very lively. Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe are frequent visitors."
"Jia Sheng …"
Ji Lanxin wanted to say more, but when she looked up, she saw Jia Wenhao's cold eyes.
Ji Lanxin's heart skipped a beat. She did not dare to stop him anymore.
Han Yu and the others came to the bowling alley in the morning. She was also the one who personally received them.
Although there were rumors that Han Yu, Chen Rui, and Li Dong did not get along, they were guests.
She opened a club hoping to get to know these people and make connections. Naturally, there was no reason for her to refuse guests.
In order to receive them, she even closed the bowling alley and only received them.
But who knew that Jia Wenhao, who never came to these clubs, suddenly came!
As soon as Jia Wenhao entered the door, Ji Lanxin was a little nervous. She did not know why, but she felt that Jia Wenhao's aura was not quite right today.
Moreover, Han Yu was a woman, and there were two men in the alley. Who knew what they were doing?
It was not that Ji Lanxin was imagining things. Han Yu had told her not to disturb her the moment she entered the door. Moreover, there were all kinds of messy things in the entertainment circle.
If Jia Wenhao caught them in the act in her own club, she would not have a good time in the future.
However, Jia Wenhao insisted on going, and she did not dare to forcibly stop him.
At this moment, Ji Lanxin could only pray that the people inside had heard her voice. It would be best if nothing happened.
When Jia Wenhao walked to the door, Ji Lanxin swallowed her saliva. She suppressed the palpitations in her heart and said, "Jia Sheng, you can go in by yourself. I won't disturb you."
She was really worried that she would see something she was not supposed to see.
Jia Wenhao did not think of this. When he heard that she was not going in, he did not say anything. He nodded slightly and went straight in.
Ji Lanxin, who was standing outside, looked in, then gritted her teeth and turned to leave.
…
Inside the alley.
The voices outside disappeared, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps.
Chen Rui and Zhuang Fan looked at each other, then glanced at Han Yu and said in a low voice, "Jia Sheng is here?"
Han Yu was a little puzzled. Jia Wenhao usually did not appear in this kind of place.
And it was not appropriate for Jia Wenhao to come here in broad daylight.
But thinking that it might be to entertain some guests, Han Yu did not think too much about it. She got up and said, "I'll go and have a look. Help yourselves."
Zhuang Fan asked, "Should we go and say hello?"
"No …"
Before Han Yu's voice died away, Jia Wenhao had already walked over.
When she saw that Jia Wenhao was alone, Han Yu's face flashed a flash of doubt.
She was not the only one. Chen Rui and the other two also noticed that something was wrong.
Chen Rui subconsciously looked at himself and Zhuang Fan, then slightly relieved. Everyone was still a little far from Han Yu, so it should be fine.
No matter how stingy Jia Wenhao was, he would not be jealous, right?
He was not too worried about it. It was no big deal to talk about business with a few friends in the circle, eat, and chat.
Han Yu often appeared in various places in Jing City, but she did not see Jia Wenhao looking for trouble.
As soon as Jia Wenhao arrived, Han Yu could not help but smile. "Why are you here?"
Jia Wenhao did not say anything. He glanced at Chen Rui and Chen Rui. Chen Rui quickly got up and said, "Governor Jia."
Zhuang Fan also stood up and said with a face full of smiles, "Big Brother Jia."
He did not address Jia Wenhao. In fact, he and Jia Wenhao also knew each other.
Moreover, in such a private place, it was not appropriate to address him as an official. It would also increase the distance.
Jia Wenhao was not like Han Yu. They could be domineering with Han Yu and ignore Han Yu, but they could not ignore Jia Wenhao.
Even if Jia Wenhao was not in Jing City now, it was precisely because of this that he was more worthy of attention.
According to Old Master Zhuang and the analysis of others, Jia Wenhao would improve in the next two years. When he was about 50 years old, Jia Wenhao had the hope of ruling a region.
An official with a bright future and great development was not someone they could compare to.
Perhaps one day, everyone would have to eat at his beck and call.
Jia Wenhao nodded slightly. He looked at the two again and asked, "How are Old Master Zhuang and Secretary-General Chen?"
Zhuang Fan quickly said, "Grandpa is in good health. Before I came, he asked me to send his regards to Big Brother Jia. When Big Brother Jia is free to return to Jing City, I will definitely treat you to a few drinks."
"Old Master Zhuang is too polite."
Jia Wenhao replied politely. Then, he looked at Chen Rui. Chen Rui quickly smiled and said, "My father is also in good health. Thank you for your concern, Governor Jia."
"It's good that you are in good health. The body is the capital of a revolution. If you are in good health, you will have the energy to work hard," Jia Wenhao replied.
When he said that, everyone's expression changed.
